After the tent was closed, the light was very dim and the smoke filled the air. The old scholar huddled in his wheelchair and said: "Young man, if you really find the Tearing Buddha here, how much do you think it will be worth?"
"How much is it worth? How dare you think about it."
I shook my head and said I didn't know, but there was one thing I didn't understand about the Weeping Buddha, so I immediately asked the old scholar to get his answer.
I asked: "The Emperor of Xixia rewarded the Painted Tearing Buddha to the virtuous teacher Reba, and then the teacher took the things back to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Alxa are not reachable. How did the Painted Tearing Buddha come to Heishui City?
?”
"Young people think very carefully." The old scholar did not answer me directly, but asked Xiao Kai beside him to light a candle.
"Pata." The lighter sounded.
Xiaokai had no expression on his face and handed the lit red candle to the old scholar.
The old scholar held the candle with one hand, and the yellow flames were reflected in the pupils of his eyes, dancing non-stop.
"Look how good the fire is."
The old man stared at the burning flame of the candle, and then a strange smile appeared on his wrinkled face, which made people feel uncomfortable.
He spoke slowly: "Fifty-five years ago, I worked in Guobo Neiku. At that time, I was just a young apprentice. The master asked me to clean the warehouse every day. If I didn't do my job well, I would be beaten and he wouldn't give me food."
"I was cold and hungry, but I didn't feel bored. At that time, there were a lot of unorganized antiques, stone tablets, and rubbings stored in the library. I looked at so many that I can't even remember how many there were. I looked at them.
I won't be cold or hungry anymore."
"One day, I accidentally found a rubbing from the late Qing Dynasty when I was sorting and archiving. The label on the rubbing said that the acquisition originated near Dayun Temple in Liangzhou. I couldn't understand the Xixia script on the rubbing. I only knew that it should come from a certain place.
I found it on the stone tablet, so I ran to ask the master. After looking at it, the master shook his head and said: "This is an ominous time. For later expansion, the original monument should be rebuilt later than the fifth year of Tianyou's reign in Huguo Temple."
At this point, the old scholar looked up at me and said, "Do you want to know what the Tangut text on the rubbing says?"
I didn't hesitate, nodded and said of course I want to know.
"Haha." The old scholar just smiled and said nothing.
I said anxiously, "You should tell me how Master Virtue's things ended up in Blackwater City."
"don't know
It's okay, Yunfeng." Seeing that the old scholar stopped talking, Tuotou immediately handed over a cigarette and lit it for him.
He smoked a cigarette and then slowly continued.
Master Virtue has been teaching scriptures in Xixia for decades and has countless disciples. Among them is a young monk who is responsible for taking care of him. Master Virtue calls the monk "Rumei Dorje."
In Tibetan, "Lumei" means working tirelessly, and "Dorje" refers to the Dharma Protector Vajra of Sutra. Together, as the name suggests, it means the Dharma Protector Vajra who is not afraid of suffering, that is, the warrior monk.
Master De was nearly 83 years old when he left Xixia. In ancient times, not many people could live to be 80 years old. He was already very old and relied entirely on the care of the young monk Rumei Dorje.
There were more than 90 monks who accompanied the return trip. That day they walked to Dege County (today's Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture) with the reward from the Xixia Emperor. They encountered a group of more than 500 indigenous soldiers. The leader of this group of indigenous soldiers was the stupid monk at that time.
Chief Baili who taught him was delighted, and the locals called him King Baili.
King Baili did not believe in Buddhism. He was covetous of the treasures brought by the virtuous master, and immediately ordered people to kill and steal the treasures that contained the Weeping Buddha.
There were more than 90 monks. Except for Lumey Dorje and a few others, the other monks were not martial artists. 500 people faced off against dozens of people, and it became a brutal massacre.
Rumei Dorje is called Dharma Protector Vajra. This is not just talk. He practices the Sutra and Tantra "Six Dharmas of Narao."
The six methods of Sutra Narao are divided into dynamic methods and static methods.
Cultivation of the mind, spiritual power, and wisdom of the guru through meditation.
Use Dharma to cultivate your body, cultivate your physical strength, and cultivate your vajra power.
In that fight, Rumei Dorje fought against dozens of people. In order to protect his master, he fought bloody battles and transformed into the angry Cha Cha King Vajra. He killed a Bailiwang native soldier with one palm and cut his way out of the crowd.
Master Zhude jumped on the carriage and ran away with the treasure.
Unfortunately, during the breakout, Virtue Master suffered a knife wound. Before he died, Virtue Master told Rumei Dorje that he could not give up any other treasures. It is his destiny to accept this. I have no face to return to the Pure Land of Motu. You can shed your tears.
Buddha, please send it back."
After the Master finished speaking, he died
On the carriage, he passed away.
Rumei Dorje was also seriously injured, and he was holding on to bury his guru until he was on the verge of collapse. He felt sadly and angrily that due to his current physical condition, he could no longer fulfill his guru's last orders.
At that time, there were many traders in the Xixia border area. The merchants included Song people, Jin people and Xixia people. Lumei Dorje was lucky enough to encounter a Song Dynasty caravan. The leader of the caravan was also a Buddhist. He heard that
Afterwards, I was deeply moved and vowed to help Dorje fulfill his master's last wish.
Later, the caravan took Dorje across mountains and rivers for nearly a thousand miles to send the Tearing Buddha back.
After returning, Renzong understood the ins and outs of the incident and received Dorje. In order to let future generations remember this incident, he carved a stone tablet in Liangzhou Temple to record it.
That's when things came to light.
The Tearing Buddha was first rewarded to Master De, who returned to Xixia after his death. Li Xian smuggled the Tearing Buddha out of Xingqing Mansion surrounded by Mongolian soldiers and gave it to Ouzhahuang, who took the Tearing Buddha together with other
The treasure was brought to Heishui City. Finally, he originally wanted to take the treasure to Sichuan and join the Xiwu'er Kingdom built by Li Xian, but he was discovered by the Mongols and did not escape.
Since then, the Tearing Buddha has been hidden in the snow and disappeared in Blackwater City.
.??.
After finishing his cigarette, the old scholar finished his lecture. He smiled and said, "How about young people? Now you know why so many people are here, right?"
I shook my head and asked if I could find it. Blackwater City is so big, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
I know the last Miaoyiniao without him having to tell me about it. There are many legends about the Miaoyiniao, such as the Twelve Bronze Figures of the First Emperor of Qin, the Great Bronze Cauldron of Kyushu, and the Miaoyiniao.
The Lingwu kiln Miaoyiniao is a bionic porcelain sculpture made in the shape of a bird. Miaoyiniao appeared in Dunhuang murals. It was in the shape of a human face and a bird's body. The prototype should be based on the god Garuda in Eastern Mi Buddhism.
bird.
The Lingwu Kiln of the Western Xia Dynasty had very few items. The Ru Kiln of the Ding Kiln of the Song Dynasty had such a great reputation that it overshadowed the beauty of the Lingwu Kiln. In fact, the carved porcelain of the Lingwu Kiln was outstanding at that time.
This thing is regarded as a national treasure by the Xixia people, and there must be something extraordinary about it. One of these rumors has been spread the most.
Rumor has it that this sculpture of Miaoyiniao can speak and chant sutras.
Don't think it's ridiculous yet, just listen to my explanation.
> The Miaoyinniao can speak, which means that it can emit sounds, emitting the sounds of Xixia monks chanting Buddha's name, which means that this sculpture contains an ancient voice, just like a tape recorder.
How can this be?
Could it be that there was a radio in the Song Dynasty?
If you ask me to say that this is not absolute, it is really possible.
Just because we haven’t seen it or don’t know it doesn’t mean we don’t have it. Chinese civilization lasted for five thousand years. How long can a person live? There are a lot of things we haven’t seen.
Let me tell you three things.
The maids on the wall of the Forbidden City, the Yin soldiers in Luliang County, Yunnan, and the echo of the 15th century clay pots.
1. On a rainy day in the 1990s, many people saw a row of palace ladies walking hurriedly with lanterns on the red wall of the Forbidden City. This frightened many people. Many people took photos. Now these photos can be found online.
Photographers who looked at the photos said they were not fake and were real.
So what is the conclusion after the official investigation?
Expert: The palace walls are made of red dye, containing iron tetroxide, and lightning may conduct electricity down. When lightning occurs, a palace maiden happens to be passing by. The red wall is equivalent to the function of a video tape. Walking on the red wall
The palace maids in the scene were recorded into a video. Many years later, if lightning coincidentally appears again, the shadows of those palace maids who were recorded back then will appear like a video projection.
Second, in the Jingmancao area of Yunnan, when people pass by, they can hear the sounds of fighting and the sound of war horses in the ancient battlefield. The official explanation is that there is a problem with the terrain structure and stones of the Jingmancao Canyon.
3. Echo pottery jar from the 15th century.
Experts on TV explained:
During the firing process of the clay pot, a mixture of ferric oxide and ferric oxide was accidentally formed, and the surface was magnetized, which was basically the same composition as the surface of the tape. Then by coincidence, the sound of the banquet thousands of years ago was recorded.
The echo of clay pots can also be heard online, which is the physical evidence that has been preserved.
Therefore, these people who came to Alxa to rob the tomb also wanted to dig up the Miaoyin Bird from an underground palace somewhere.
Let’s not talk about how much it can be sold for.
At least you can listen to the voices of the ancients through Miaoyiniao.
Listen to how monks chanted sutras hundreds of years ago.
