The iron box has a long history. LAN Xiaoying concluded from the patterns cast that it should be something before the Song Dynasty. As she said, she couldn't wait to take out the box from the inside. Because it was a little hard to be rusted, I used a masonry cone to insert it into the gap and pry it a few times, and finally opened it.
There is something wrapped in oil paper. It should be a book according to its shape and thickness. LAN Xiaoying took out this thing and carefully peeled off several layers of oil paper. A white ancient book appeared in our sight!
"It's really a white Scripture!" LAN Xiaoying said excitedly.
At this time, I can see clearly that five black words are written on the white book cover: "Vajra Prajna Sutra"! Although the cover of the book is white, it is too old, some yellow and some corners are incomplete.
LAN Xiaoying was eager to open the page to watch. I suddenly found someone in the distance. I stretched out my hand and pressed the Scripture and said, "go home and read slowly."
The girl immediately put the Scriptures back into the iron box and stuffed them into the bag. I backfill the stone under the hole, and finally cover the soil. If I don't look carefully, it's like I haven't moved.
Back to the shop at three o'clock in the afternoon, the flower dance shadow was smart. Instead of eating biscuits, he ate two bags of instant noodles.
"Are you two popular and spicy outside and let me drink xibeifeng at home?" The flower dance shadow is angry and akimbo, venting its dissatisfaction with us.
"No, we haven't eaten yet." I said with a bitter face.
"Then I feel better. Go and cook. I still want to eat..."
I can't help but be stunned. Other girls are on a diet to lose weight, but you are an out and out food. It seems that you can't eat enough. But strange to say, she can eat and drink so much, but she is not fat and still maintains a slim figure.
LAN Xiaoying was eager to find clues from the Scriptures. She was not in the mood to cook and soaked three bowls of noodles. In this way, huawuying ate very sweet. After the two girls were full, they sat on the sofa with the little turtle and began to watch her zombie films. We hid in my bedroom and took out the iron box.
LAN Xiaoying opened the Scripture, looked at it for a few times and said, "this should be the version of the Tang Dynasty. The value of this Scripture alone is very high. But... There is nothing but Scripture. " As the voice fell, she had quickly turned over the whole book.
I took the Scriptures and patiently looked through them page by page. Looking at them, I said, "it seems that our wealth has broken out these days. First, we took out an ancient Buddha from the ancient tomb and got a scripture of the Tang Dynasty. You said that if they were all sold, the shop would not have to be opened, wouldn't it..."
LAN Xiaoying interrupted me and said, "don't move and read! The ancient Buddha is a treasure I must collect. This book is an ancestral relic, let alone think about it. "
"Ah, by the way, do you think the ancient Buddha brought from the ancient tomb has anything to do with this Scripture?" I suddenly thought.
"Please, how many times have you had a smaller brain hole?"
I shrugged and knew that my brain hole was really big this time. After searching for a long time, I didn't find any clues, so I closed the Scriptures. Just about to put it into the iron box, I suddenly found that the lines binding the pages were a little messy, which aroused my suspicion and asked LAN Xiaoying to see it.
She frowned and said, "I've seen a lot of ancient books. The binding is very regular. How can such a valuable Scripture be so carelessly bound? No, the thread is made of cotton thread that seems to be modern. It must have been opened and bound again. "
I asked tentatively, "then why don't we open it?"
LAN Xiaoying bit her lip and nodded. Take out a pair of small scissors, cut the cotton thread, and the book immediately spread. We picked up page by page and found something in the middle. The binding part of this page is written with the eight words "ancient Buddha does not come out, the world is peaceful". The font is very small. It is hidden in the crevice and can't be seen at all.
"What does that mean?" LAN Xiaoying asked puzzled and then looked down. She just turned to the last page and found no other hidden words.
I went on to say, "is it really related to the ancient Buddha?"
"Brother, I'm asking you the meaning of eight words." LAN Xiaoying said angrily.
"Brother, think again..." as soon as I said this, I had been plotted by her.
"Why don't we try it on each page with potion to see if there are invisible words?" LAN Xiaoying stared at me and asked.
I shook my head: "if there were invisible words in the book, your ancestors of the blue family would have thought of it. Since the pages of the book have not been soaked by water, they conclude that this situation does not exist. Just removed the binding line, so this is the only place to hide the secret. "
LAN Xiaoying nodded gently: "if the ancient Buddha does not appear, the world will be peaceful. I guess it is a hidden Buddha statue somewhere. If it does not appear, there will be no trouble in the world..."
I knocked the tip of my nose and said, "I still think the bronze Buddha brought from the tomb may be related to this, because it came from before the Song Dynasty and coincided in time. It is sealed in the treasure room and close to the golden tooth secret. Although it is a coincidence, it is also an inevitable result. Because there is a constant connection between them, they always approach inadvertently. There are also these eight words. If the ancient Buddha does not come out, the world will be peaceful. The meaning is very clear. This secret has been hidden for thousands of years. Only the birth of the ancient Buddha can lead to the truth. Of course, it will cause a lot of turbulence. This does not mean trouble. You bring the ancient Buddha and let's study it. "
LAN Xiaoying immediately returned to the bedroom and took the bronze Buddha. I dragged it on my palm and observed it carefully. It is half a foot tall and covered with copper rust, but its face is faintly discernible. The Buddha is kind-hearted and lifelike. It seems to hold an object on its palm, but it is too small to see clearly.
I reached out and wiped it, but I couldn't wipe it off. LAN Xiaoying had experience in removing copper rust. She ran to the kitchen to get vinegar and scrubbed it. Soon the rust fell off and showed her true face. I took out the magnifying glass and saw that what I held in my hand was a lamp, and the lamp was engraved with a word: "ancient!"
LAN Xiaoying looked into her head and said in surprise, "is this really the so-called ancient Buddha in eight words?"
I can almost certainly say, "it's 80%. This ancient casting is so small that it is obviously intentional. Otherwise, there was no magnifying glass in ancient times. Why did you carve this small character that is difficult to distinguish by the naked eye? " At the same time, I gently twisted the hands and feet of the ancient Buddha, motionless, so I pinched the Buddha's head again.
"Don't blaspheme the Buddha!" LAN Xiaoying, fearing that she might damage the antique, hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop it.
But I had twisted it, and the Buddha's head was a little loose, so I put more force on my hand. While she stretched out her hand, the Buddha's head had been twisted behind her.
With a crack, the Buddha's head popped out and separated from his body. LAN Xiaoying was surprised and thought I twisted it down, but as I stood the ancient Buddha upside down and slid a thin paper roll out of the hole in her neck, her expression turned to curiosity again.
