At that time, in the study, Lin Xi, who still had some injuries, came in after Tong's father and asked with puzzled eyes: "Uncle Tong, what you said to me was left by the old man? It's impossible. He wants to leave something to me. Why do you want to change hands? And why haven't you mentioned it for so many years?

Lin Xiwan never thought that what Tong Fu said was left by the old man.

Just as Lin Xi said, why don't you give the things the old man left to him directly? Why do you want to hide and let Tong Fu give them to him?

Moreover, it has been more than ten years since the old man died. No matter what he thinks, he can't figure out the reason. He even thinks it's strange.

Perhaps as expected, Tong's father didn't rush to answer. Instead, he came to the back of the desk and didn't see how he moved. He just knocked at the corner of the desk under the tree and a strange scene appeared.

The seemingly ordinary desk, like a mechanism, quietly opens to both sides, revealing the most internal space.

There is a safe in it. It seems that it has a lot of heads. Even in this kind of confined space, it is contaminated with a lot of dust. Even because of the long time, there are some rust marks on the surface of the safe.

Looking at the safe, Tong's father explained without hesitation: "before the death of the old fairy, he had come to Beijing to see me. He gave me the things in the safe to take good care of, and wished me a chance to come to Kyoto in person and hand them over to you in the future."

after a pause, Tong's father continued: "the old fairy has a special blessing. We must wait until you come in person Only when you open it, you will understand ···· "

Lin Xi stares at the safe. After hearing Tong Fu's explanation, he accepts the fact and realizes that the old boss has paid so much trouble to give this thing to himself, and is so serious, even serious It must be very important to be careful.

It made him wonder what was in the safe.

And he remembered very well that before the old man died, he did go out for a long time. For about half a year, no one knew where he had gone. No matter how Lin Xi pestered him, he just kept silent and showed off that it was time for him to know.

Lin Xi thought that he was stingy. At that time, he didn't take it seriously, and the matter was over. Now he heard Tong Fu mention that since then, the old man has been arranging things behind him. Is it certain that he will come to Kyoto?

What is the purpose of the object he left behind, no matter what it is?

"Uncle Tong, I think your desk is not simple. It should take a lot of effort"

Lin Xi has a lot of thoughts. If he doesn't want to be famous, he won't bother to think about it. Anyway, when he opens it, he will know that what he cares more about now is his father's desk. The arrangement of the mechanism in it is superb, which is not made by ordinary people.

The desk looks like a desk. Even if you walk in front of it, there is nothing special about it. But no one will think that there is something else in the desk. There is a safe hidden in it, and there are objects in it.

If it's an ordinary object or a relic left behind, why should we be so careful? Who is blinding to build such an organ? Is afraid of others covet it!

Facing Lin Xi's doubts, Tong's father explained: "you guessed very well. The mechanism of this desk was made by the old fairy himself in those years. No one except me knows how to crack it. Today, I open it for the first time ·····"

"what's in the safe? In fact, I'm not very clear. I just handed it to you today to complete the old fairy's instructions Let me have a look at it "

as Lin Xi expected, the mechanism of this desk was built by the old man himself. No wonder he has been there for half a year. I'm afraid most of the time, it was built by him?

The old man's skill is really mysterious. It's not surprising to build a mechanism.

But the more so, the more curious Lin Xi was. What was the price of what the old man gave him?

"PATA ···"

when he spoke, the father bent down and turned left and right on the code lock of the safe for a few turns. After aiming at the code, he only heard a "PATA", and the safe was opened from above to reveal the space inside.

The objects in the safe are shown here.

When Lin Xi saw the object, he was stunned. His eyes were staring at him. He was surprised and said, "this is the eight treasure letter. It seems that it's not quite right"

the object is a regular cube made of purple jade. It's about 30 cm long, 30 cm wide and 30 cm high. Two dragons are carved on the top of the object. The head and tail are opposite, and the surrounding is lined with flowing cloud patterns Longxizhu is decorated with rolled grass at the bottom, two Jialing Pinjia birds are carved on each side, pomegranate flowers and vines are decorated on the side, and ghosts and gods are carved on the four sides.

Hearing Lin Xi's exclamation, Tong's father also looked at the object. He had been collecting it for so many years, but he was also extremely curious, and asked, "what is the eight fold guarantee..."Lin Xi thought for a moment, and seemed to think of something. His eyes twinkled, but he did not hide: "the eight treasure letter is a gold and silver gift from Tang Yizong. It is a set of box letters dedicated to Buddha's phalanx relic"

"the outer layer of the letter is an sandalwood letter, which contains three silver letters, two gold letters, one jade letter and a single eaves four door pure gold pagoda, However, the extant eight treasure letter, because the outermost layer is sandalwood Silver Ridge top treasure letter, has been decayed when unearthed, so there are only seven pieces left ···· "

" but this object only looks like eight letter of guarantee, in fact, it is not. First of all, its material is like the legendary purple jade ··· "

as Lin Xi said, eight treasure letter is from the Tang Dynasty Among them, the first layer is called baozhuding single eaves four door pure gold pagoda, the second layer is called gold basket Baodian pearl decorated with Juanshi Baohan, the third layer is called gold basket Baodian pearl decorated with pure gold Baohan, the fourth layer is called six arm Guanyin pure gold Baohan, and the fifth layer is called gilded Tathagata jindingyinbao The sixth is the plain face silver letter, the seventh is the gilded Four Heavenly King silver letter, and the eighth is the silver edge sandalwood letter.

The so-called Buddhist bone relic is a relic obtained after the death of Buddha Sakyamuni and his disciples burned his body.

There are four Buddha finger bones, three Buddha shadow bones and one Buddha spirit bone in the Famen Temple. One of the three shadow bones is placed in the eight treasures.

It is true that the Buddha shadow bone relic is not the real relic bone, but is specially made for the protection of the relic bone, but its value and significance are the same as the Buddha relic bone.

At this point, I have to talk about the grand ceremony of the bony relic.

In order to make Buddhism more in line with the traditional customs of the Tang Dynasty and make it more Chinese, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty made gold coffins and silver coffins for the relic, that is, eight treasure letters, and buried them under the underground palace according to the highest etiquette of Confucianism.

Since then, Li's imperial dynasty has welcomed the Buddha bone relic. The team can be described as solemn and grand. Along the way, the worshippers extended from Chang'an to Fengxiang for more than 300 Li, which became a grand occasion.

It is said that 2700 years ago, after his nirvana in the middle of two trees in the corpse City, his disciples cremated his remains and picked up some remains from the ashes. These remains are called relic, including a small parietal bone, two scapulae, four teeth, a phalanx, and other real relic.

These Buddhist relics are divided into eight parts, which are built by eight countries.

More than a hundred years later, the Peacock Dynasty unified Tianzhu. In view of the heavy killing, King Asoka decided to lay down his butcher's knife and turn to become the king of Dharma protector Ming. He excavated the pagodas of eight countries and collected Buddhist relics. He rebuilt 84000 pagodas in various places and distributed those Buddhist relics to the pagodas for support.

At that time, Tianzhu called the Tang Dynasty Dongtu Sinian. It is said that nineteen relic pagodas were built in the Tang Dynasty, and Famen Temple in Fengxiang is one of them. The relic of Buddha's phalanx is the middle phalanx of Buddha in the pagoda.

with the change of the sun and the moon, the sea turns into mulberry fields, the Tang Dynasty dies, the new dynasty rises and dies, and dies and rises again.

However, since then, the underground palace of Famen Temple has never been opened again. It is said that the legend of praying for the peace of the country and the people only exists for the Tang Dynasty. Even the legend itself is gradually forgotten.

When the sleepers suddenly start up, they will be in a daze. The dark wind blows and the rain blows, and the residual flames are everywhere.

Under the faltering pagoda of Famen Temple, the red guards completely destroyed the Buddha Hall, Buddha statues and Buddhist scriptures. They said that it was breaking the four old and establishing the four new, and eradicating feudal ideology and culture.

This idea can be understood, but when it is carried out, it is accompanied by violence and blindness and turns into a cultural catastrophe.

It was a gloomy day. Hundreds of red guards came to Famen Temple to smash the brick tower of Famen Temple. The young generals were very enthusiastic, and the reason was ridiculous. They said that there was a secret radio station hidden under the tower.

The old monk Liangqing, the old abbot, knew that there was a real Buddha under the pagoda and tried every means to dissuade him. But how could he have a good effect in the face of those fanatical children?

Seeing the imminent disaster, the brick pagoda of Famen Temple will not be protected. Liangqing makes a decision.

The old monk put on his golden cassock with a red bottom, piled up his bed and firewood in front of the tower, poured kerosene on it, sat in it, and then lit the match in his hand.

All of a sudden, countless flames sprang out like snakes. LIANG Qing sat in the fire, folded her hands, and let the tongue of fire devour her whole body, but she did not move.

The red guards are not very familiar with the world. Who has seen this scene? In panic, they were stunned at first, and then ran away one after another.

In this way, the old monk Liangqing's struggle at the cost of his life saved the Buddha finger relic.

The surviving tower of Famen Temple is like a struggling old man, whose posture is becoming more and more crooked. Later, after days of rainstorm, the foundation sank and the rainwater poured into the gap of the tower.

A few days later, with the sound of shaking heaven and earth, and the yellow smoke rising from the sky, the tower of Famen Temple collapsed, and the Buddha statues and Sutras in the tower fell into the dust, which could be submerged at any time.The news of the collapse of the pagoda in Famen Temple has caused a strong shock to Buddhism. Most of the 84000 pagodas built by King Ashoka in those years have disappeared, and the relic of the Buddha's bone is also lost. Only the relic of the finger bone in Famen Temple is the only clear and verifiable relic of the Buddha's real body, which is the highest sacred object of Buddhism.

So soon, someone reached an agreement and decided to demolish the remaining tower and rebuild the tower of Famen Temple.

Based on this decision, the Tang Dynasty local officials were found when the tower foundation was cleaned up. With the excavation of archaeological work, they opened the lock for thousands of years, pushed the heavy stone gate of broken dragon in the tomb path, stepped on the underground palace paved with gold, and entered the "supreme Dharma realm" of Tantric Mandala in the tomb, which provided for the Buddha's real body relic.

The underground palace of Famen Temple is the earliest Tantric Mandala altar in the world. It is dedicated to four Buddhist phalanx relics worshiped by the whole Tang Empire, and thousands of treasures, including the golden embroidered skirt given by Empress Wu Zetian, the long lost secret color porcelain, and the big gold staff representing the supreme authority of Dharma Buddha dari Tathagata and Shiga Buddha.

Eight treasure letter, which appeared.
