"Xiaoqing, just now you spent 10,000 yuan to buy a robe, why is this? What is the door of your robe?" Jiang Ming asked casually in the car.
"Second Senior Brother, can't you see it?" Li Xiaoqing looked at Jiang Ming suspiciously, they are all from the same lineage, they are all apprentices of Hui Shiren, Jiang Ming is still Yuanying cultivator, it stands to reason that Li Xiaoqing can use his divine sense to sweep things, this Jiang Ming should also be able to see it.
"Well, I can't see it. I just think this robe is quite strange, and you say that it is a robe, which is indeed a bit reluctant. In general, the cloth is cut into small pieces and then sewn together. But this 'robe' is a whole piece of yellow satin. Looks more like a satin quilt upholstery. This Jiang Ming looked at the robe carefully.
"This robe has two strong energies! And this robe has a mezzanine. Li Xiaoqing said as he prepared to open the mezzanine.
"Does the robe have a mezzanine?" Jiang Ming was said this, and immediately took a closer look at the place where Li Xiaoqing's hand was pressed. However, Li Xiaoqing thought that although he was an apprentice of Hui Lao Dao, his cultivation method was not passed on by this Hui Lao Dao, and the second senior brother Jiang Ming cultivated a cut above himself, and he was already a Yuanying monk, but the purity of his divine sense should be far inferior to himself.
Li Xiaoqing slowly took out the robe, found a thread on the placket of the robe, and gently pulled it, there was indeed a mezzanine, and Li Xiaoqing saw that there was a yellow thing inside. Li Xiaoqing pulled this thing out little by little, and when he took out all the yellow cloths, what Li Xiaoqing saw was a quilt with words that was nearly more than one meter and a half wide and two meters long.
"What is this?" Li Xiaoqing asked curiously, looking at the quilt.
"I think this thing is a Tibetan Buddhist thing, you look at it and Sanskrit on it, look at the year should be in the early Qing Dynasty, this thing is still made of yellow material, it should be the emperor's thing. Jiang Ming said as he touched the material.
"Senior brother, this time you have made a lot of money, this material is silk, the so-called 'one inch of silk, one inch of gold', this silk skill represents the pinnacle of Chinese silk weaving skills, like such a large silk fabric, it will take a few years for a person to complete. Therefore, it will never come from the people, only the court has it, although such a valuable thing does not know what it is, but just such a big cloth, it is estimated that it will be more than a million. The car was parked on the side of the road, and Jiang Ming touched the cloth vigorously.
There is a lot of traffic on the side of the road, and it just so happened that Feng Liankui saw that Li Xiaoqing and Jiang Ming's car was parked on the side of the road, so he also rushed over and asked, "Brother Jiang, what are you doing here?
"Shopkeeper Feng, you have seen a lot of treasures in the capital, what treasures do you guess are hidden in this robe?" Jiang Ming said half of his words, and this shopkeeper Feng was also curious, he parked the car behind Li Xiaoqing's car, and when he got out of the car to take a look, when he saw this yellow fabric, his eyes were as wide as beads.
After a while, he took a breath and said, "You little brother is really a great creation! This Emperor Lao'er's Dhara Sutra can be picked up at auction by leakage, if Lao Huang knows, he will probably slap his thighs to pieces." ”
"This is the Dhara Sutra. Li Xiaoqing secretly sighed that Jiang Ming was still much more experienced than himself, and easily took out the name of this object from Feng Liankui's mouth. However, Feng Liankui also didn't expect that Jiang Ming didn't know this thing.
After Feng Liankui finished speaking, this Jiang Ming knew what this thing was, the Dhara Sutra quilt, also known as the Dharani Sutra quilt, a kind of burial object woven with golden Sanskrit scriptures. "Dhara Sutra Quilt" is also known as "Death Quilt", also known as "Dharani Sutra", there are a variety of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas mantras written in Sanskrit (or Tibetan) and the merits of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, Vajra Lux, this sutra was used by order in the Qing Dynasty, no one can use it without the emperor's will. It is recorded in the "Qing Huidian Funeral": (Liesheng) weave gold Sanskrit dharani yellow satin, embroidered nine dragons yellow satin. The inner lining weaves gold five-color Brahmana Dharani satin five, and the various colors weave gold dragon color satin eight, where there are three layers of ten.
Moreover, the color of the quilt is also different, and the regulations for the funerals of the emperor, empress, and prince are clearly stipulated in the "Qing Huidian". Dharani quilts can only be covered after the death of princes and above, and the rules for the pattern and color of the quilt are more detailed. Only the emperor can use positive yellow, while the queen can only use bright yellow, and this positive yellow quilt is obviously used by the emperor.
Tibetan Buddhism believes that it has an incredible power of great blessings, both men and women, at the end of their lives, this body is covered with this body, which can make the deceased extinguish their sins and blessings, free the past world from all the difficulties of the demons, the deceased is physically and mentally happy, and Amitabha Buddha leads to the Western Elysium; Dharani's rebirth quilt can be used regardless of the object, regardless of whether it is a religious believer, a non-believer, a man, a woman, or a child at the end of his life, even if he did not believe in religion during his lifetime, slandered the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), has no cause and effect, and has little merit and virtue, he can also use it to eliminate his sinful karma and become attached to the Three Jewels.
Legend has it that the deceased was taken to the underworld wearing the Dharani Sutra, and when the king of Hades saw it, he had to stand up and pay respect. The reason why Li Xiaoqing feels familiar is because there is a willow immortal who practices Buddhism hidden in his home, and these two people have fought the law, so Li Xiaoqing feels very familiar, and the reason for this strangeness is probably that the scriptures on the face have a reincarnation power, which Li Xiaoqing has never seen, so this makes him feel very strange.
"This quilt belongs to the Qing Emperor?"
"This is from this cloth material and this technique and decoration should be the fabric of the Kangxi period, and this and this also has a name and surname, little brother, don't just open your mouth and ask, if you meet outsiders, you will look down on you. Feng Liankui laughed.
"I'm ashamed, I'm too flustered. Li Xiaoqing found that after he found out that he had missed the leak, he was in the same hurry as this guy, and he didn't look like a cultivator at all.
It is estimated that everyone knows about Sun Dianying's theft of Cixi's mausoleum, but this is nothing compared with the 1945 Qing Dongling robbery case. Li Xiaoqing estimated that this thing was made from this aventurine at that time. In 1928, Yuling and Dingdongling were stolen and excavated by Sun Dianying, the commander of the 12th Army of the National (People) (GE) Army, and the burial treasures were looted.
In 1945, except for the filial piety mausoleum of Emperor Shunzhi who is said to have become a monk on Wutai Mountain, the tombs of the rest of the emperors and empresses were all excavated and stolen by the bandit Wang Shaoyi and Zhang Qianzhong, director of the 15th Division of the Eighth Route Army Hebei East Military Region. You must know that when those little devils who lost their conscience occupied Hebei, they also sent people to guard the Qingling Tomb, but this little devil was beaten away, and our own people stole the tomb of this ancestor instead.
After the little devil was defeated, Wang Shaoyi, the bandit leader hiding around the mausoleum, suddenly became "clever". It just so happened that the 15th Army Subdivision of the Eastern Hebei Military Region, which was in charge of Tanglin at that time, could not draw troops to guard the mausoleum, so it had to organize the militia of nearby villages to cooperate with the district team to take care of it.
On September 23, 1945, it was the day of the market, and it was the turn of the squad leader guarding the tomb to Zhang Xiaobald of Xinli Village and the bandits. After careful planning, Wang Shaoyi divided the tomb robbery team into two groups, one group used detonators and explosives to hit stones in the west of the tomb to hide people's eyes and ears, and the other group robbed the tomb. The precious things stolen this time were all obtained by the leader, and the remaining pearls, agate, jade, and other small things were caught by each of the more than 20 villagers who participated in the robbery.
After the theft of this Dingling Tomb, on another autumn night when the sun sets on the West Mountain and a hundred birds enter the forest, Wang Shaoyi and Zhao Zixin, Liu En, Yang Zhicao, Zhao Guozheng and others got together to steal and dig up the mausoleum of the Empress Dowager Ci'an. Later, this loser found a big backer, and this backer was Zhang Quanzhong.
Zhang Qianzhong was the captain of the enemy intelligence team of the 15th Army Division at that time, and served as a mine protection policeman in the Tangquan Gold Mine, and later defected to the Eighth Route Army, and was active in Malanyu and the Mausoleum Circle for a long time. Because he is bold and fearless of life and death, he often goes in and out of the hearts of the enemy alone, and is rumored to be the elusive "Zhang Daring". But this person with a bit of prestige, in front of the treasures brought by Wang Shaoyi, the nine rings of gold heads (more than one or two or eight coins), the white jade bracelet, the emerald plate finger, and the white pearl (all obtained from the theft of the Dingling Tomb and the Ci'an Tomb), suddenly became another organizer and planner of the second theft of Tangling.
The reason why Wang Shaoyi found this Zhang Duzhong was nothing more than his identity. At that time, Zhang Qianzhong could be said to be the highest-ranking military leader in the Dongling region of the Qing Dynasty. And another reason is that Zhang Quanzhong is "ruthless enough", which is enough to deter a group of tomb robbers and make them obey orders.
Zhang Qianzhong intervened in the theft of the tomb, and was not satisfied with the tomb robbery activities of Wang Shaoyi and his gang like "chickens and dogs".
He named the robbery of the mausoleum as "fighting against the emperor and the big landlords" and "helping the masses to survive the famine", and at the same time widely mobilized the insiders of the mausoleum and the capable people who could use detonators and explosives to join, and also won over the eight districts of Jizunxing Union County, Jieru.
On December 22, 1945, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and it was difficult to see the five fingers when you stretched out your hand. At the foot of Changrui Mountain, a new battle with swords and guns was deafening, and a new battle was fought against Emperor Kangxi's Jingling, and more than 300 pairs of sinful hands stretched out to the Jingling Underground Palace, dragging the bones and corpses of Emperor Kangxi. After three days and nights of "fierce fighting", he finally took the "bunker" of Jingling Underground Palace, and found several large pockets of treasures. Wang Shaoyi said proudly: "The few mausoleums we have dug are as many treasures as this Jingling, not inferior to the mausoleums of Cixi and Qianlong!" Zhang Quanzhong was also overjoyed: "There are more good things than Sun Dianying!"
It is a fact that everyone believes that the tomb can be treasured. As a result, this tomb robbery activity was rapidly expanded and turned into a mass crime with thousands of people participating. Needless to say, except for the tomb of Emperor Shunzhi, the rest of the more than 100 tombs have been doubled.
Li Xiaoqing also knows that this truth is obvious, if you want to be stable after death, no one is looking for bad luck, the best way is to leave those things that cannot be taken away to your children and grandchildren, instead of putting them in the coffin to let others worry, it is better to let others know that you have nothing.
But looking at this yellow quilt, he didn't feel the taste in his heart, the one who ascended the throne at the age of 8, was in power at the age of 14, and reigned for 61 years. When he was a teenager, he defeated the powerful minister Aobai, and when he became an adult, he successively pacified the three feudatories, recovered Taiwan (Zheng's Taiwan), personally conquered Galdan, defended Yaksa (expelled the invading army of Tsarist Russia), and ensured the territorial control of the Qing Dynasty in the Heilongjiang River Valley with the Nebuchu Treaty, and founded the "Duolun Alliance" Replacing the war, the ancient emperor who contacted the various tribes of Mongolia, but after his death, it was difficult to protect even his personal belongings, Li Xiaoqing looked at the quilt in his hand, but he thought in his heart that even if he was the first emperor of the ages, he could not control the things behind him in the end, thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile helplessly.
