Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters three-eyed dzi
Han Kongque said with a bitter smile: "You can't say that. No matter how good it is, it's good if you know it. If you want it, you have to find its faults and belittle it as much as possible, like loose paper and yellowing."
, blackened, moldy, burred at the corners, poorly preserved, easily broken, etc.”
When Liu Xu heard this, she immediately moved closer to the wall chart and examined it carefully. When she saw clearly and confirmed that the wall chart was not blackened or moldy, she straightened up and glared at Han Kongque and said, "Are you telling lies with your eyes open?"
Is there any mold or black spots on this wall chart?"
Han Peacock smiled bitterly again: "That's what you said. They certainly won't dare to deny your statement with confidence. You know, this wall chart has been around for a hundred or two hundred years, so no one dares to say how many times it has been processed."
"Has it really become moldy?" Liu Xu looked at Master Chen and asked.
Master Chen could only smile bitterly: "We have only received it a few days ago, so we really can't say this. However, looking at the picture now, there are no traces of mold or insects."
Liu Xu glanced at Han Peacock and said, "Now you can find a way to pay the bill!"
Han Kongque said: "How much?"
Master Chen said: "This is something for the royal family. The minimum price is three million."
Han Kongque thought for a moment, then turned around and looked around, and soon discovered the small handbag next to Zhou Meiren. He swiped the handbag towards him, and then a gold brick appeared in his hand.
His movements were as if the gold brick was being taken out of a handbag. However, the fifty kilogram gold brick did not look like it could be contained in the handbag.
"This is a gold brick weighing fifty pounds. Please appraise it. It is enough to buy this wall chart." Han Peacock grabbed the gold brick with one hand and placed it gently on the table.
Master Chen signaled to the stunned lobby manager and asked her to take the gold and go out to appraise it. There was no need for an appraiser like him to do this in person.
After the lobby manager left, Master Chen opened another wooden box. This box was filled to the brim with paper.
Han Peacock and Liu Xu both put on a pair of white gloves, and each picked up a thread-bound book and took a closer look.
Han Kongque looked at Liuxu, who was not much slower than him, and said, "Why are you so active?"
"It must be a medical manuscript. I'm wondering what surprises are waiting for me." Liu Xu's eyes did not leave the book at all.
Han Peacock smiled and said: "My book has the author's name on it. Do you want to read it?"
"Bring it here. This medical book is good, but I seem to have read it somewhere." As she said that, Liu Xu put down the book in her hand and grabbed the one in Han Kongque's hand.
""Ren Xigeng's Imperial Physician's Manuscripts"? Let me tell you! I have indeed read it! The Institute of Ancient Books Collation of Renmin University of China has specially studied this set of books. "Ren Xigeng's Imperial Physician's Manuscripts" also has extremely high historical value. It has been recorded
There is a lot of history about the late Qing Dynasty, I think you will definitely be interested in it." Liu Xu said while reading.
"Does it contain the history of the Qing Dynasty?" Han Peacock asked.
Liu Xu said: "This set of "Manuscripts of Imperial Physicians" is a collection of notes written by Ren Xigeng, the imperial physician of the two dynasties. Imperial physician, a profession that began in the Zhou Dynasty, came to an end at the end of the Qing Dynasty.
Ren Xigeng, the imperial physician of Zhangyin, compiled his life's work experience after leaving the Taiyuan Hospital and divided it into more than 20 volumes. This is today's "Imperial Physician Manuscript".
This set of "Ren Xigeng's Imperial Medical Manuscripts" includes four parts: medical history, clinical practice, literary history, and prescriptions. It records the secret recipes used by the palace as well as medical records and notes for the two emperors Guangxu, Xuantong, and the Empress Dowager Cixi. I think the literary history in it must be
interested."
Seeing Liu Xu's eyes shining brightly, Han Peacock smiled happily: "Of course I'm interested. We want this set of manuscripts, plus this string of three-eyed dzi beads. How much does it cost?"
"That gold brick is worth more than 8 million. Now let's calculate it based on 8 million. The wall chart just now is worth 3 million. This set of manuscripts is worth 1.5 million. This string of three-eyed dzi beads is also worth 1.5 million.
That's exactly six million.
There is a bearer card here with two million in it. Mr. Han can check it to see if the amount is correct." Han Peacock, the lobby manager who came back in, explained the business clearly.
Han Peacock checked the amount on the card. The balance was indeed two million. He nodded and opened a small box. Inside the box was a string of beads. However, Han Peacock did not take it out. Instead, he put the box in
Along with the bead string, he pushed it to Zhou Meiren: "This is for you, I hope you like it."
"What?" Zhou Meiren thought that this arrangement was purely for Liu Catkin, but she didn't expect that Han Kongque would actually give her a gift now.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "A string of three-eyed dzi beads is not a very good thing. I will change it for you when I find a better one."
"Is this the three-eyed dzi bead, one of the legendary seven hidden treasures?" Zhou Meiren looked at the bead string in her hand in surprise.
Seeing Zhou Meiren inspecting the string of Dzi beads, Master Chen said: "According to legend, the Dzi beads were originally treasures of the gods. Due to defects, they were demoted to the human world. Later, they were discovered by Tibetans, and countless legends arose.
With a long history, beautiful and mysterious legends, and Tibetan people's pious collection and offerings, passed down from generation to generation, Dzi beads have become a precious treasure in people's hearts. Therefore, Tibetans still believe that the Sky Eye Stone is a stone sent from heaven and one of the seven secret treasures.
one."
Han Kongque said: "Historical records record that the internal structure of the Sky Eye Stone has strong magnetic field energy in the universe. Research has confirmed that three or four thousand years ago, a meteorite from Mars fell in the Himalayas, causing the original Sky Eye Stone mine to collapse due to a strong impact.
Among the fourteen elements that generate Mars, the magnetic field energy of the "ytterbium" element is particularly strong, causing the Sky Eye Stone to have incredible sensitivity. This is also consistent with the theory among Tibetans that the Sky Eye Stone is a stone descended from the sky."
"Is it really that magical?" Zhou Meiren didn't believe it, so she asked directly.
Han Kongque said: "Who knows this? The origin of the Sky Eye Stone can be traced back to the ancient Indian country of the Aryans between 3000 and 1500 BC. At that time, people wanted to seek blessings from gods and Buddhas, so Dzi Beads were created.
At that time, people used the incantations, totems and other symbols and patterns recorded in the ancient literature "Vedas", which are now the various patterns on Dzi beads, painted on the stone, hoping to achieve the benefit of enhancing spiritual (soul) consciousness.
According to the "Vedas", in ancient times, due to the influence of geographical environment and natural disasters, the desire to pray for God's help naturally arose, and 'Dzi Beads' were created. At the same time, various medicines were incorporated into them to treat diseases, and witchcraft was used to treat diseases.
The totem thoughts of spells and talismans are painted on the stone, so as to obtain the blessing and protection of the Buddhas and gods.
The representative record of the use of the Sky Eye Stone to worship Buddha and Bodhisattva is in the 15th year of Emperor Taizong’s reign in the Tang Dynasty (AD 641). At that time, Princess Wencheng married Tubo Zanpu and abandoned Zanpu. She brought a statue from India with her when she abandoned Zanpu.
The Buddha statue was invited as a dowry, and finally this Buddha statue was located at the back of the Sakyamuni Hall of the Jokhang Temple in Lhasa.
This Buddha statue was inlaid with more than a hundred various Dzi beads by the Tibetan people, including three nine-eye Dzi beads, three-eye Dzi beads, two-eye Dzi beads, and Aquarius Dzi beads (or
(called Eternal Vase Dzi Beads), tiger pattern Dzi Beads and other eye-shaped Dzi Beads. This Buddha statue is currently enshrined in the Sakyamuni Hall of the Jokhang Temple in Lhasa."
"Are Dzi beads made by humans?" Zhou Meiren was even more surprised. She thought it was a natural gem!
"Dzi beads are also called celestial eye beads. They are mainly produced in Tibet, East Tibet, Bhutan, Sikkim, Latak and other Himalayan mountains. They are a rare gemstone. The material of dzi beads is nine-eye stone shale, which contains jade.
The quality and composition of agate make it one of the Seven Hidden Treasures. It is recorded in history books as the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead.
The history of Dzi Beads can be traced back to five thousand years ago. At that time, Tibetans discovered that the ore had a strong magnetic field, so they mined the ore and ground it into pestles, discs and other shapes. Because the engineering technology at that time was not developed, only
It is possible to obtain shallow ore that is gray in color and has no obvious lines. Therefore, Tibetans draw various auspicious patterns on it and process it at high temperatures to make the pigment penetrate deep into the ore.
The material of Dzi beads is generally sardonyx. There are many with one eye and two eyes, and there are fewer with more than three eyes. The most common ones can have nine or ten eyes, which is extremely expensive. In ancient times, the eyes of Dzi beads were also dyed with herbs. In modern times, the eyes of Dzi beads are dyed with herbs.
Most of what we see is dyed with modern pigments.
Sky Eye Stones are divided into one to thirteen eyes. According to the drawn patterns, they are divided into aquarium, lotus, tiger pattern, heaven and earth, horse teeth, thread beads, disc beads, longevity beads, etc., which are determined by the appearance and age.
Generally speaking, the more valuable it is, the more valuable it is. It is said that the holder can avoid disasters and have good business prospects in the shopping mall.
In addition, because the Sky Eye Stone can receive the light from the sky, attract the energy of the earth, and absorb the aura of the sun, moon, stars and the earth, wearing it on the body will form the "Book of Changes" so-called heaven, earth, and man.
of help.
Legend has it that Dzi beads have a strong special magnetic field, and the human body also has a complete magnetic field. However, each person's physique and degree of receiving the magnetic field are different, the adaptation time is also different, and the reflected state is also different.
Beads respond differently to different conditions of the human body.
If the following symptoms occur after wearing it: such as headache, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, nausea, fever, sweating, dry mouth, etc., don’t be nervous or afraid. It proves that Dzi Beads are adjusting and balancing the human body’s magnetic field, so your own
Dzi beads must not be lent to others for viewing, even if they are touched, to avoid causing confusion in the magnetic field."
"I will pay attention to it." Zhou Meiren happily brought the beads to her wrist, and she put away the gold bracelet.
At this time, Liuxu was still reading the manuscript, and Han Peacock snatched it away and said, "You will have plenty of time to study this in the future. Now we are going out to play."
"Yes, when we come out, we can't just accompany you, the prince, to study here." Zhou Meiren said with a smile. (To be continued...)
