Chapter 136: The Woman in the Room

Yue Qianling stretched out her hand tremblingly and touched the Zen Staff, and suddenly she felt like the endless Buddhist teachings. Gu Anqi was quite knowledgeable in Hong Kong, but she couldn't say a word in front of the Zen Staff.

Qiu Nuo stood alone by the door and his face was still as quiet as ever. He gradually became accustomed to these things since he was a child.

"You said if we donate this Zen stick to Dacien Temple..." Yue Qianling's voice was trembling slightly. "Do you think they will let us enter the underground palace?"

"Of course!" Chu Tianci nodded.

"Then...then you need this Zen stick." Yue Qianling was still a little dazed and could not believe such a precious cultural relic. Jingwan said that she would give it to her.

"But there is a question. This thing is a royal thing, and it is recorded and inherited. This thing will definitely cause a sensation when it appears in the world. What if someone asks how this thing came about...what should I say?"

Chu Tianci asked Yue Qianling this. In fact, he was saying it to Jingwan. There is always a source, and it cannot be said that he was picked up.

"Tianci, what you said makes sense. This Zen stick is indeed too silly, but the road is clean. It's not because I'm afraid that someone will trace the root of the source. It's just that I don't want to be troublesome, and I like quiet and don't want anyone to disturb me. Why don't you look at the others?" Jingwan smiled slightly and understood what Chu Tianci meant.

The smell of incense in the room was very unique and had a refreshing feeling. Gu Anqi walked over to find the fragrance and said unexpectedly.

"Is this ambergris?!"

"This girl is very knowledgeable. You are right. It is indeed ambergris, and it is natural." Jingwan smiled calmly.

"Amberg is known as the gold among spices, which is very precious and rare. In ancient times, only emperors could enjoy it. Moreover, the longer the ambergris is, the more unique the fragrance is. I have smelled the ambergris before, but what I smell today is completely different and quite pure." Gu Anqi asked curiously. "Aunt Jing, how many years have this ambergris been?"

"It should be thousands of years!"

Jingwan blurted out, and Gu Anqi was stunned. All the ingredients in ambergris can be artificially synthesized, but they cannot completely replace the sea with ambergris, because the current technology cannot reach the wonders of nature, especially ambergris steroids in natural ambergris.

Not to mention the ambergris that have been stored for thousands of years. What you order in this ordinary room is not incense, but gold!

The ordinary Buddhist temple and the lit gold seem to be extremely inconsistently combined, but no one would doubt what Jingwan said, how surprising is a woman who can easily give away a priceless Zen stick to someone, lit a spice worth a thousand gold.

But what kind of believers can give the Buddha and Buddha so devoutly to the thousand-year-old ambergris, Chu Tianci is becoming more and more curious.

However, Chu Tianci's thoughts were not immersed in the scent of scent, and his eyes were always on the incense burner containing spices.

The incense burner is made of silver utensils, the tabletop is made of double phoenix-carved auspicious grass patterns, and there are five-legged bands under it.

The entire incense burner consists of a furnace body, a furnace cover and a furnace table.

The edge of the cover is wide and flat, the surface of the cover is raised, and the bottom edge is decorated with lotus petal patterns. There are five lotus flowers on it, and the flowers and vines are entangled. Each lotus flower has a turtle looking back, holding auspicious grass on the mouth, and the lower layer of lotus petals are hollowed out to provide fragrance overflow.

The turtle and the ribbon represent longevity, and the lotus petals represent purity. The fragrance comes from this, which means purity and preservation of fragrance and overflowing. The abdominal wall is decorated with flowing cloud patterns, and five unicorn dragons and beast feet are riveted.

The tabletop of the stove is made of double phoenix-carved auspicious grass pattern, and there are five-legged bands under it.

Chu Tianci quickly identified this incense burner as a Buddhist incense tool, which showed excellence in Buddhism and was one of the six offerings of Tantric Buddhism. However, the workmanship was too gorgeous, not like an ordinary incense burner for Buddha.

Chu Tianci carefully picked up the incense burner, with an inscription underneath. He was stunned after reading a few words.

Produced by Wensi Academy.

Wensiyuan is a palace handicraft workshop established in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, which specializes in making gold and silver crafts for the Tang royal family.

This incense burner is actually a special item for Buddha offerings by the royal family.

"Actually, I like this incense ware very much. When I was a child, I felt it looked very unique. Later, after learning cultural relics identification, I realized that this dazzling incense ware is elegant and luxurious in shape, with exquisite and rich patterns. It represents the highest level of gold and silver ware production craftsmanship at that time, and embodies the superb wisdom and hard work of the craft masters of the Tang Dynasty." Qiu Nuo said thoughtfully beside the door.

"Brother Tianci, I think this is good, it is not silly and expensive, and it is also a royal utensil for worshiping Buddha. You can take it out." Gu Anqi nodded and said.

"Isn't it... it's a little less?" Yue Qianling murmured from the side. "Although this incense burner is real, if you want to enter the underground palace, the incense burner is probably a little light."

Jingwan smiled and raised her hand and pointed gently.

"If you like, take whatever you like."

The more generous Jingwan was, the more embarrassed Chu Tianci was. The house was full of priceless things, and it was not good to take them away casually.

Qiu Nuo saw Chu Tianci's fearful look next to him. He knew what he was thinking, so he walked over and pointed at a statue of Bodhisattva and said with a smile.

"Gilded silver Bodhisattva holding the true body! Tang Dynasty cultural relics, Bodhisattvas are high buns, wearing pearl Buddha-turned crowns, naked chests, bracelets with arms, big sheep intestine skirts, and pearl garlands all over their bodies. They stare forward with their eyes bent, their legs bent left, and kneel on the lotus platform with their right."

"Qiu Nuo, although it is your own thing, it will not be taken back if it is donated. Those who study the appraisal should know that anything in this house is a treasure." Chu Tianci lowered his voice and blushed.

"Brother Tianci, since Aunt Jingwan is a Buddhist, if these things can be offered to the Buddha in the underground palace of Famen Temple, wouldn't they be able to worship the Buddha's master even more? Aunt Jing has great merits, and she has to thank you in turn." Qiu Nuo smiled like a flower.

"Tianci, Qiu Nuo is right, just treat it as helping me accumulate merit!" Jingwan smiled peacefully.

Chu Tianci was relieved and looked at the statue of the Bodhisattva that Qiu Nuo pointed to just now. The workmanship of the gold-plated silver-holding Bodhisattva was exquisite and exquisite.

The Bodhisattva held a lotus leaf-shaped tray with a gilded version of the vow text in both hands. The vow text had a rectangular gilded flat frame with openwork vajra pattern, and chains were connected to the gilded version at the four corners.

The upper part of the lotus seat is in the shape of a bowl, and the abdominal wall is decorated with four layers of lotus petals. Each layer is eight petals. Each upper two layers of lotus petals is decorated with a Buddha statue with headlight or backlight, or sitting in a lotus position, etc., with a stamen pattern on the top edge for one week.

The middle part is tied in the waist, in the shape of a drum, and the surrounding walls are engraved with the four heavenly kings holding swords, holding axes, holding towers, and hanging swords.

The bottom base is in the shape of a lotus-covered body. The inscription on the golden plaque in the Bodhisattva's hand is decorated with lotus-covered petals for one round, each petal is engraved with Sanskrit; the lower part is decorated with eight three-headed six-armed Vajra, all with backlights.

The top and bottom surfaces are both engraved with Sanskrit, and the inner layer is engraved with three-cobalt vajra, with a row of dragons on each side, and are lined with flowing cloud patterns.

Sixty-five characters in seal script on the golden plaque in hand.

He is regarded as the great sage of Emperor Guangxiao, who is wise, wise, and virtuous, and is respectful to the Bodhisattva of the True Body and always offer it. I wish the Holy Birth and Longevity, the Holy Branches and Leaves, the Eight Destiny, and the Eight Destiny will come to patronize, and there will be no waves in the world...

It is another royal property, plus the previous incense burner, these two things were donated to Dacien Temple. I believe the host would definitely let him go to the underground palace to pay homage.

Chu Tianci turned around and looked at Jingwan, smiled embarrassedly, and Jingwan nodded peacefully. Chu Tianci was about to carefully wrap both things when suddenly a voice came from behind the pagoda.

"Let everything go down!"

There were other people in this room. Since entering, Chu Tianci and others were attracted by the room full of treasures, but they didn't even notice that there were other people in the room.

Qiu Nuo's casual face just now suddenly became restrained and humble, and his head lowered.

"Mother, I don't know you are here too."

Chu Tianci had never heard Qiu Nuo mention his mother, but seeing Qiu Nuo's respectful appearance now, she must be a very majestic woman.

"Your mother has always been there. She said she hasn't been back for a long time. She traveled back to the old place and wanted to worship Buddha, so I specially accompanied her back to Jingzhao." Jingwan's head was also lowered.

"Nuoer, I have very little time to get along with you for my mother, and I have many concerns. I heard that your aunt Jing often mentions you in front of me. The world is like duckweed, but with one mind, remember that everything should not be too rushed. It is really not to force me to be ordinary."

"Nuoer keeps her mother's teachings in mind."

The woman behind the Buddhist temple spoke profoundly and hardly understood, but Chu Tianci could hear this as a word that only a wise person could understand. The woman's voice was slow and majestic, with a high aura. Even Jingwan, who had always been calm, became respectful in front of the woman's voice.

What kind of woman can have such domineeringness that can convince people like Jingwan.

"Hello, Auntie, we don't know you are here too. I'm sorry to disturb you, Qing Xiu." Chu Tianci said politely.

"Although the two things you chose are elegant and luxurious, Dacien Temple is an important place for Buddhism. All the four elements of monks are empty. If you send these two things, you will violate the precept of greed."

The woman's voice paused for a moment and said slowly.

"Jingwan, give him the things in the Buddha's niche!"

"Ah..." Jingwan was stunned. She was always calm and panicked when she heard the woman's orders. "It's in the Buddhist niche...but..."

The woman was not talking, as if nothing she said from her mouth could not be refuted by anyone.

Jingwan knew that she had lost her words, sighed, and carefully took out a pack of bright yellow brocade from the Buddhist niche and handed it to Chu Tianci.

"You give this to the presidency of the Dacien Temple, and he will agree to any request!" The woman's voice came, but it was very light, but it turned into an irresistible order when it fell into her ears.

Chu Tianci carefully opened the brocade, and there was a wooden carving box inside. There was no ordinary thing at all. Yue Qianling complained in her heart that it was probably because she was reluctant to leave the precious things and sent a wooden box casually. What's the matter?

The woman's voice never came from behind the Buddhist temple. Chu Tianci put away the wooden box and retreated with the others. When he left, he found Jingwan sighing heavily. She had always been calm and looked at the wooden box in her hand, her eyes full of regret and regret.

Chu Tianci didn't understand what preciousness this inconspicuous wooden box was. Jingwan, who didn't even agree with the priceless treasures in the house, could be reluctant to leave.

In the Buddhist temple, Qiunuo's mother and the wooden box she was holding, Chu Tianci always felt that he could not understand everything today.
