When we arrived at Wuying Academy, the door was open, as if we knew in advance that someone was coming.
A young man, who should be the assistant of the owner here, came out, welcomed their arrival, and invited them to wait in the living room.
Arriving at the living room, the three of them were envious of the luxurious equipment in the living room.
Huang Yanyan also said that otherwise Yao would always lament that his sophisticated equipment was very powerful, but he didn’t expect that there are people outside the world.
Xu Yuan and Huang Yanyan were wandering around the living room. Gao Bin found that the table was covered with reports on the Buddha's Head Case, and quickly called everyone.
He guessed that the information on the table was compiled by Xu Yicheng.
At this time, Ji Yunfu suddenly appeared, and surprisingly, Kana also came out with him.
Gao Bin quickly went up to him and asked:
"Miss Kana, how could you do this?"
"It was Director Luo who saved me. When I learned that you were here, I rushed over overnight."
Ji Yunfu told everyone that he had been investigating Xu Yicheng's affairs, and he did not believe that Xu Yicheng would collaborate with the enemy and treason.
Moreover, Buddha Head, as the core of the entire incident, lacked enough specific reports. Xu Heping was the one who hired him to investigate.
Ji Yunfu told everyone about Xu Yicheng's plan to protect the truth with lies.
Xuyuan already knew about this plan from Lao Chaofeng, so it was not surprising.
Ji Yunfu took out the photo of Xu Yicheng back then, and made a wish and found that the photo was exactly the same as the photo in Fu Gui's hand.
Kana also quickly took out the photos left by his grandfather. After comparing them, everyone found that Xu Yicheng's photos had traces of forgery.
Ji Yunfu said that the expedition team that Xu Yicheng and Kido Yusan were on were all three people, and the photo of the two alone was suspicious.
Xu Yuan suspected that there was a third person on the expedition team, but he cleverly erased all traces of his existence. Xu Yicheng left the photo just to point out the direction for everyone.
Ji Yunfu then pointed out that the third person was probably the one who framed Xu Yicheng, and that this person must be Chinese and deeply trusted by Xu Yicheng.
After hearing what Ji Yunfu said, Xu Yuan suspected that the third person in the expedition team had obtained the treasure left by Xu Yicheng, and in order to keep it for himself, he killed his father who was about to find out the truth.
At this time, Kido Kana apologized to them. After being solemnly taken away, everything on his body was searched, including the Kido notebook.
But fortunately, Kido also left a photocopy as a backup, otherwise they would be helpless.
Huang Yanyan said directly:
"I think Lao Chaofeng is the third person who disappeared!"
If not, why would he be worried about the contents of the Kido Notes about himself, so he would snatch the Kido Notes to eliminate his traces?
Huang Yanyan told Kana about Shen Yunchen's identification results of the Buddha's head. Kana was not surprised after hearing this. She believed that the authenticity of the Buddha's head was a good thing for the diplomacy of the two countries.
From this point of view, Xu Yicheng ruthlessly sent the Buddha heads to Neon in order to protect a large number of national treasures.
Everyone is confused about the current problem and don’t know what to do.
At this time Gao Bin mentioned:
"Find a way to decipher the Kido Notes. Only by knowing the contents can we make further plans."
When Ji Yunfu heard this, he immediately mentioned Lao Qi, an expert outside the world. In his opinion, only Lao Qi could successfully unlock the code in Kido's notes.
So, everyone got in the car, followed Ji Yunfu, and met the legendary master Lao Qi in a remote courtyard.
At this time, he was studying something with his head down and didn't notice anyone coming.
Ji Yunfu told everyone that Lao Qi was obsessed with mathematical research and didn't care about other things.
Lao Qi talked loudly about Goldbach's conjecture, which confused everyone. He was very dissatisfied when he saw everyone's uninterested reaction, so he did not intend to help.
Ji Yunfu helped and said a lot of nice things, and then Lao Qi agreed to read Kido's notes.
Lao Qi is really powerful. He just took a few casual glances and saw that Kido Notes used a displacement code. He also said that cracking the code was not a problem, but it would take a lot of time, and he had no time to do it.
Everyone quickly begged Lao Qi for help and made a wish to give him money. Unexpectedly, Lao Qi was angered. He thought he only talked about money and did not respect mathematics, so he kicked everyone out.
Seeing that there was no hope of deciphering the Kido Notes, Kana had an idea. She deliberately said that since her old relatives were unwilling to help, she could only take these codes back to Neon to decipher them, which meant that Chinese scientists were unable to decipher them.
Scientists all have some special feelings about them. Sure enough, this provocation method really worked, and Lao Qi was so angry that he agreed to help decipher it.
In the capital, the Huang family was embroiled in a fake goods scandal. Some buyers discovered that the items they bought were fakes, and reporters conducted in-depth reports, causing the Huang family's reputation to be damaged.
While Lao Qi was cracking the code, Ji Yunfu took everyone outside. Ji Yunfu told Xu Yuan that a group of mysterious people had come to Qishan, and it seemed that they were here for Xu Yuan.
But I probably didn’t intend to harm him.
Ji Yunfu suspected that the purpose of these people's protection of Xu Yuan was to let him find the national treasure left by Xu Yicheng.
Ji Yunfu asked Xu Yuan to be careful. Various signs showed that Lao Chaofeng was a member of the Five Meridians. Only then did everyone realize that Lao Chaofeng was probably one of the four elders of the Five Meridians.
Gao Bin thought to himself: We have finally reached this point, he is almost exhausted.
It’s really frustrating to know the correct answer but still not be able to tell it.
Ji Yunfu mentioned that Xu Heping had planned to give up the investigation because his every move was being monitored, so he handed over the investigation information to himself and let himself investigate secretly.
At that time, Xu Heping left two notebooks, which made Xu Yuan a little confused. He told Ji Yunfu that there was only one ancestral notebook at home.
After hearing this, Ji Yunfu guessed that Xu Heping was persecuted to death because of those two notebooks.
Xu Yuan believed that Lao Chaofeng did not kill him in the first place. In addition to wanting to get the notes, he saw in himself the hope of finding the national treasure.
The wish mentioned that Lao Chaofeng may have seen hope because he got half a bronze mirror from the Zheng family.
Ji Yunfu learned that the word Baozhi was written on the bronze mirror, and casually mentioned that Baozhi was an eminent monk from the Song Dynasty. He didn't know what his relationship was with the Buddha's head in the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, Huang Yanyan received a call that something had happened at home. She told Gao Bin in a low mood that she would return to Beijing tomorrow.
Gao Bin learned that something happened to the Huang family, and something happened to the Shen family many years ago, so he connected it and felt that there must be something in it.
Huang Yanyan said goodbye to everyone. She hoped that everyone would go well after she left.
It takes time to crack the code. After sending Huang Yanyan away, Gao Bin and Xu Wan did not want to be idle, so they made inquiries in various places and accidentally learned that the giant Buddha in Erlin Temple was very similar to the Buddha head that was sent to Neon.
So they decided to go to Erlin Temple to investigate.
After Gao Bin, Xu Yuan, and Kana arrived at Erlin Temple, they wandered around casually.
The main purpose was to find the Buddha statue in the temple, but he couldn't find it after searching around. Until Gao Bin bribed a sweeping monk with money. He mentioned that there was a fire in the temple, so the Buddha statue and the temple were gone.
But I did see that Buddha statue, and also mentioned that Wu Zetian used the Lucena Buddha to build a Buddha statue for herself.
Both Xuyuan and Kana looked puzzled, and Gao Bin said:
"In the Longmen Grottoes, there is a large open-air cliff Buddhist niche called the Great Lushena Statue Niche. The main image in the temple is the seated statue of the Great Lushena Buddha.
This is the largest Buddha statue in the Longmen Grottoes, with a height of more than five feet and one foot, and a single ear is five feet and seven inches long."
The sweeping monk nodded:
"Yes, Lusena is the Sambhogakaya statue of Tathagata Buddha in the West, which means that the light shines everywhere. However, the local people call this statue the Wu Zetian statue because they believe that the Big Buddha of Lusena is modeled after Wu Zetian.
.
Gao Bin has also heard this legend. The Lucena Buddha is a Buddha statue carved according to Wu Zetian's own appearance and deportment. It is also the highest artistic level, the most rigorous overall design, and the largest statue in the Longmen Grottoes.
Known for her mysterious smile, she is even called the Oriental Mona Lisa.
Legend has it that one year Tang Gaozong and his queen Wu Zetian lived in Ziwei City, the imperial palace in Luoyang, the eastern capital.
One morning, Wu Zetian was dressing up. Tang Gaozong praised:
"Zitong (the emperor's nickname for his concubine) has a good appearance, graceful appearance, and the manners of a Bodhisattva."
Wu Zetian was secretly happy after hearing this.
She had an idea and immediately wiped away her tears.
Emperor Gaozong was surprised and said: "Why is Zitong so sad?"
Wu Zetian sobbed and said: "Even though there are all kinds of good things in front of me, a hundred years later I will still be a pile of withered bones. Who knows what I look like?"
Emperor Gaozong said: "What's so difficult about this? I ordered a painter to make a beautiful portrait of Zi Tong."
Wu Zetian said coquettishly: "Although the portrait is good, it is just a thin piece of paper and cannot be passed down for thousands of years."
At this time, Gaozong was in trouble. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a way out, so he had to ask Wu Zetian: "In your opinion?"
Wu Zetian smiled brightly and said: "Your Majesty said that I have the appearance of a Bodhisattva, why not dig a cave on Longmen Mountain to create a statue?"
Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty suddenly realized and said: "What's so difficult about this!"
So he ordered painters to paint a portrait of Wu Zetian, and at the same time ordered people to dig an open-air Buddhist niche the size of nine rooms on the cliff of Longmen West Mountain, named it the Great Lu Shena Statue Niche.
After the preparations were completed, Emperor Gaozong ordered skilled stonemasons to carve a large Buddha statue according to Wu Zetian's portrait.
In order to make this statue more exquisite and famous for generations to come, Wu Zetian also donated 20,000 ounces of powder.
After the big Buddha statue was built, it was named Lushena Buddha. Lushena means bright and shining in Sanskrit. Wu Zetian created a character for himself and named it "曌 (read Zhao)", which means "the sun and the moon are in the sky".
The meaning of light is shining.
Therefore, not only does this statue resemble Wu Zetian in shape, but the meaning of its name is exactly the same.
The local people were not used to the word "Lushena", so they simply called it "The Statue of Wu Zetian".
At this time, Gao Bin is ready to open his eyes. At this point, some things can be analyzed.
For example, Kanai’s true purpose of coming to China.
In fact, Xuwu told Gao Bin more than once that he suspected Kido Kana.
So he pressed and asked:
"Why do you want to return the Buddha's head to China with all your heart?"
Kana hesitated for a long time, but seeing that he couldn't hide, he could only tell the truth.
She said that the information she showed everyone was true, and that the relationship between her family and Buddha Head was deeper than she imagined, and it did not start from her grandfather's time.
She said that she did not know the specific reason, but she knew that the Jade Buddha Head was of great significance to the Kido family. Back then, Neon wanted to plunder the national treasure in China, and accidentally learned about the origin of the Kido family and the Jade Buddha Head, so she sent Kido
Yousan came to China.
Although Kido Yusan brought the Buddha's head back to Neon, he was melancholy for a long time. The root of his sadness was that the Jade Buddha's body and head were separated.
Kana told Gao Bin and Xu Yuan that she suspected that the wish note was given to Xu Heping by her grandfather, because she found that there was a mezzanine in the box containing Kido's notes, and there were supposed to be three notebooks in the box.
She told her true purpose of coming to China, which was to find the whole body of the Jade Buddha and restore the complete body of the Zetian Jade Buddha. This was also the wish of her grandfather and the Kido family.
Xuanyuan believed what Kana said, and he guessed that one of the two Buddha statues in Erlin Temple was inside the temple and the other was outside the temple.
His father had been to the mountains before the accident, probably in the name of hunting to look for the Lushena Buddha outside the temple. He analyzed from the map that the Lushena Buddha was at Conch Peak.
Originally, they wanted to go directly to Conch Wind to look for the Buddha statue, but Gao Bin insisted on going back first, first to see how the laptop password was cracked.
The second is to make some preparations. He knows that people from Lao Chaofeng will definitely show up to stop their actions. If they are not prepared, they will die if they go there.
I went back to find Ji Yunfu. He happened to be looking for Lao Qi, and the notes had been successfully deciphered.
Everyone was delighted to find out that the past and present life of the Jade Buddha Head was completely recorded in the notebook.
In the Tang Dynasty a thousand years ago, after Wu Zetian established the Mingtang, he sent two guards to guard the Jade Buddha day and night, one named Lian Heng and the other named Yu Chaofeng. The ancestors of the Kido family also lived in China at that time and had seen the Jade Buddha.
The Buddha will never be forgotten.
One day, he finally stole the Jade Buddha and set fire to the Mingtang. One of the guards, Lian Heng, followed him alone, but the Jade Buddha fell into two pieces during the fight.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The Buddha's head was taken away by Kido to Neon, but Lian Heng only left the Buddha's body. He buried the Buddha's body in the mountains of Qishan, lived in seclusion and guarded it silently, and changed his surname to Xu.
In order to one day find the Buddha's head, he began to study the identification of gold, stone and jade, and formed a sect one by one.
Later, they married wives and had children, and the family mission was passed down from generation to generation.
Finally, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, one of Xu Heng's descendants, Xu Xin, took advantage of the Ming-Japanese War to break into Neon alone and snatch the Buddha's head back.
The descendants of the Kido family sent their elite samurai back to sneak into the Ming Dynasty, but they were all killed in battle. The Kido family left a legacy and vowed to take back the Jade Buddha Head.
Until Kido Yusan's opportunity came again, Xu Yicheng knew that the Neon people would never give up. Instead of letting them come back again and again, it would be better to end the matter once and for all with a fake.
However, all this was known by one of Xu Yicheng's apprentices, "Lao Chaofeng", and Lao Chaofeng was the descendant of another guard Yu Chaofeng who guarded Mingtang a thousand years ago.
He betrayed Xu Yicheng and intentionally killed Xu Yuan's father. Therefore, all these grievances traveled through thousands of years, and finally waited for Xu Yicheng to end everything. The clue finally returned to the two words "宝志" on the bronze mirror. p>
Baozhi, an eminent monk who was active between the Qi and Liang Dynasties in the Southern Dynasty, had long hair and bare feet, walked around the city and countryside, behaved strangely and acted crazy, but he was respected and supported by Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty.
One day the emperor asked someone to paint a portrait of the monk Baozhi. Baozhi asked Emperor Wu of Liang: Should he paint the skin or the appearance of the Buddha?
The emperor said the Dharma, Baozhi stretched out his fingers and raised everything in front of his face. A human face was divided into two, and the face of Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared inside.
Gao Bin and Xu Yuan looked at each other suddenly, and they both understood how to identify the authenticity of the Buddha's head.
Truth is also false, and falsehood is also true. The shocking situation that Xu Yicheng planted decades ago is about to be solved!
However, they all suppressed their excitement and did not say it. The secret could not be revealed until the last moment.
As for the fake Buddha head on the outside, it is questionable.
If it wasn't Lao Chaofeng who was behind it, how could he not tell it was a fake?
The Jade Buddha head is very similar to the Buddha statue in Longmen Grottoes, and both were carved according to Wu Zetian's appearance.
The Longmen Buddha's head hairstyle is water wave style, which belongs to the Gantuoluo school;
The Jade Buddha's hair style is a snail-hair bun, which belongs to the Maserati school. Although they both originated in India and were popular in the Tang Dynasty, they are distinct and rarely mixed.
The two Buddha heads that also depict Wu Zetian's appearance are of different styles, which is a bit weird in itself;
Moreover, there is a circle of fan-shaped raised folds on the top of the head of the Jade Buddha. The shape has the characteristics of early Tibetan Buddhist statues. During Wu Zetian's time, Buddhism had just been introduced to Tibet. How could the Mingtang Buddha head be so late after decades?
What about the Tibetan Buddhist style that emerged?
After knowing the contents of the note, Gao Bin and Xu Yuan decided to go to Conch Peak to investigate. Before leaving, they said goodbye to Ji Yunfu, asked him to take good care of Kido Kana, and asked him to help prepare some supplies.
Taking advantage of this moment, they mentioned the contents of the third notebook to Kana while chatting. Kana told everyone that he did not know the contents, but found out that the diplomats at that time had not found this person at all, and suspected that someone had faked his identity and took the notebook.
.
The two of them searched for the Lushena Buddha on the mountain for a long time, so they wanted to ask someone for directions, but unexpectedly they met a fortune teller.
The fortune teller claimed that he could not make a living by telling fortunes, so he came to the mountains to collect medicines and sell them for money. He was willing to take Gao Bin and the two to Conch Peak, and in return asked for some guidance expenses again.
At this time, Huang Yanyan had already rushed back to his home in the capital and found that Huang Kewu was dying and his family's business was closed.
With the current situation at home, Huang Yanyan feels that closing the store is a good thing. Lao Chaofeng cannot continue to frame the Huang family after closing the store, but they can take advantage of this time to catch Lao Chaofeng.
Conch Peak has infinite scenery, and it is very pleasant to walk and enjoy the scenery.
Gao Bin looked at the map and wanted to take a shortcut and ask the fortune teller to take them to the marked location. After hearing the promise of doubling the reward, the fortune teller agreed to his request.
After a day of traveling, it was getting late and they were preparing to camp.
The fortune teller is very good at chatting, and I didn’t feel bored listening to what he was saying all the way.
Gao Bin went to catch a rabbit. Just like he did in the mountains behind Zheng's house, he smeared the rabbit meat with juice and then grilled it. It tasted really good, except that the meat was a bit hard. I guess this rabbit had a lot of activity and was full of muscles.<
