This Miss Bingshan was as cold as Zhou Hong and as reckless as Xiao Xue. Luo Tian couldn't help but burst out laughing. Miss Bingshan immediately showed displeasure: "Why are you laughing?!" Even Cheng Zhen glared at Luo Tian.
Luo Tian, who is not very lustful, actually smiled so happily when he saw this beauty today!
Luo Tian felt a little wronged and immediately stopped smiling: "I'm sorry, I was distracted. Miss, what's the matter with you?" After that, he had a premonition that he would be choked. Sure enough, the cold voice rang out: "No.
Have they been placed in front of you?"
Cheng Zhen pushed the meter in front of the lady: "Miss, why don't you please sit down?"
"Okay." The beautiful woman didn't even look at the billing items: "Don't worry, I have the money to pay."
Cheng Zhen pursed his lips and smiled slightly: "Hello, Miss, may I ask your surname?"
"My surname is Liao, Liao Chuqing." Liao Chuqing saw that Cheng Zhen didn't have any dislike for her on her face. She was a little surprised. She was used to expressing herself in language. Many people didn't like her way of expression. After a long time, she didn't bother to do it.
If you agree with others, you will unknowingly become the cold-eyed Liao Chuqing in the eyes of others.
Luo Tian opened the wooden box. When he took a look at it just now, he felt that the lotus carved on the wooden box was very Zen-like. "Being solemn is the wonderful existence, and the single-minded thought is the vacuum. The state of mind is the perfect state."
Wait, if you can save a little bit, you can't be harmonious." This poem came to Luo Tian's mind, but he couldn't help it.
The carvings on the box were not very fine, and the wooden box was not made of precious wood. He opened it and saw an irregular snow-white "stone" with red pores the size of rice grains embedded on it. Luo Tian first said
I was confused, and then a strange emotion emerged in my heart...
"Luo Tian, what's wrong?" Cheng Zhen rarely saw Luo Tian behave like this. The "stone" in front of him didn't look like a very precious antique, but Luo Tian's expression was very unusual.
"How do you have it?" Under normal circumstances, this thing will not be in the hands of ordinary people.
"You don't need to worry about this. Just tell me first, is it true?"
"Yes." Luo Tian said: "Nevertheless, I suggest you take it to the Buddhist Association and ask for an accurate conclusion, which will be more convincing."
Buddhist Association? Cheng Zhen asked: "Why go to the Buddhist Association?"
"Cheng Zhen, have you heard of relics? This one also belongs to relics, but to be precise, it is a relic flower, because its shape is somewhat like a flower, hence the name. Relics belong to the afterlife of a person.
The crystals left after cremation. However, the relics are completely different from the bones of ordinary dead people.
The same. Its shape is ever-changing, including round, oval, lotus-shaped, and some Buddha or Bodhisattva-shaped; its color is white, black, green, red, and various colors; some relics are
Like pearls, some like agate, crystal; some transparent, some shining like diamonds.”
"Only after the death and cremation of eminent monks will there be relics. I know this, but this is the first time I have seen it." Cheng Zhen looked at the relic flower in the box. It was white and looked like white jade.
Gentle.
"The Sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism in China, Huineng, and the modern masters such as Hongyi, Yinguang, Taixu, and Zhangjia, all left a considerable number of relics. Ancient books record that other eminent monks were cremated and received relics.
Quite a few. "The Biography of Xiyuan" in Volume 7 of the "Biography of Eminent Monks of the Song Dynasty" records that after Xiyuan passed away, he dug up his body and obtained more than 700 relics; the same as Volume 7 of the same book.
"The Legend of Xuanyue" describes the collection of hundreds of Xuanyue's relics. When Sakyamuni Buddha reached Nirvana 2,500 years ago, a skull, two shoulder blades, four teeth, and one section were obtained from the ashes.
The middle finger bone relic and 84,000 bead-shaped true body relics. These relics of the Buddha are regarded as sacred objects by believers and they rush to worship them," Luo Tian said.
"After ordinary people are cremated, they will only be burned into ashes, but why these high monks can have these Helizi appear after their sparks. It's really incredible." Cheng Zhen said, Liao Chuqing just listened quietly, and then looked at Luo Tian intently.
Luo Tian explained: "The scriptures say that relics are obtained by a person through the practice of precepts, concentration, and wisdom, as well as his own great vows. It is very rare and precious. Just like what the Buddha had after his nirvana.
The number of burned relics was one stone and six buckets. At that time, there were eight
The kings competed for the Buddha's relics, and each of them got a share. They took the Buddha's relics back to their own country and built pagodas for the people to look up and worship. In addition, eminent monks and lay believers who had achieved success in spiritual practice would die after their death.
You can also get relics.”
"You said you wanted me to take it to the Buddhist Association for identification. Don't you think you can do it?" Liao Chuqing couldn't hide her disappointment.
"That's not true. It's just that relics are Buddhist treasures. If the conclusion is drawn from the Buddhist Association, it will be easier for believers to accept it. In fact, relics, like antiques, also have identification methods." Luo Tian said.
Liao Chuqing snorted: "In that case, please help me identify it first."
"Miss Liao, when did you get this relic flower?" Luo Tian asked.
"In 2008." Liao Chuqing said.
"Relic flowers did not exist before 1985. There were no relic flowers before 1985. In ancient times, pine wood was used as fuel to incinerate eminent monks, so broken bones like relic flowers could not be produced. Modern relic flowers are often green,
Black, red. The colors are produced because of the
The clothes worn by people in the world react at high temperatures and adhere to the broken bones after cooling. Miss Liao's one is red on top." Luo Tian said: "Actually, if you want to know whether the relic is real, there is one simplest method.
The best method is gravity tapping. If it doesn’t break, then it’s real.”
Cheng Zhen and Liao Chuqing looked at Luo Tian speechlessly. This method obviously didn't work. How could it work if it caused damage to the relic? "Hit it with a hammer. Not only will the relic remain intact, but the hammer will hit it."
A deep mark; but if you gently hit the relic with an egg that is about to hatch, it will even
As soon as you get close to the relic, the relic will be shattered. It is said that this is a manifestation of the Buddha's compassion. However, this identification method is also extreme. In this way, if it is a real relic, it will be destroyed. So.
It’s not commonly used, and I don’t know whether this method of identification is true or false.”
"Luo Tian, do you really want to hit the relic flower with a hammer?" Cheng Zhen was a little worried.
Luo Tian already knew that this relic flower was real, so he was full of confidence, but he still wanted to seek Ms. Liao's opinion: "Of course, I just don't know if Ms. Liao agrees?"
Liao Chuqing nodded: "Okay, anyway, if it is fake, there is no need to stay."
