Chapter 2 The Buddha
"Tang Feng, what is this thing?" Yin Shen shouted in a little crazy voice: "It was this broken thing that caused me to be chased all the way?"
"Futu is the pagoda we Chinese often call." The young man pushed the eyes on his nose, and his eyes also showed a strange look at the pagoda in front of him. He shook his head and said with a little confusion: "If it were just a pagoda, no matter how far away it was, there would be no big battle to chase you."
In the middle of the table is a Futu, about two feet tall. The pure white jade emits a white halo under the light. The carvings based on Buddhist stories appear vividly on the surface of the Futu. Each person with only a few centimeters of expression and posture are completely different. The entire carving is flowing and ingenious.
"But when I look at the shape and carvings of this Buddha, it looks like an ancient Indian style, and it is definitely old." Tang Feng looked at the Buddha carefully and frowned and said, "This can be regarded as a national treasure-level cultural relic, but it is a bit strange to say."
"Look at the overall statue of this Buddha." Tang Feng pointed to one of them and said: "This relief was obviously carved based on the story of the Diamond Sutra. The characters around the story were obviously Indian Sanskrit. As the only few Sanskrit experts in the world, I can conclude that this is the most primitive version of the Diamond Sutra."
"Really?" Yin Shen quickly turned his face over when he heard this, but he still exclaimed when he looked at the font that the ghost painting talisman could not understand at all. The disappointment on his face also became a little excited: "It seems that the cultural value of this tower has reached a rare level, and finally gave me a little comfort to my injured heart."
"However, this is a little strange." Tang Feng pointed to a series of reliefs on one layer and frowned and said, "These statues are obviously carved from the seals of Tantric Buddhism. However, whether it is Tibetan Buddhism or Qingxi, it is important to communicate with the world, body, shape, and mind. It is obviously some legendary Buddhist practice methods."
"Haha." Yin Shen laughed loudly. The excited face was a little distorted because of the crazy laughter. He tightly turned his face over and said, "Let me see, let me see, maybe I really have a little legendary Buddhist connection and can understand something, but speaking of the legend of Tantric Buddhism, it can drive away evil spirits. I think the practical value of this pagoda has reached a higher level."
"Pa" Tang Feng slapped the Yin Shen's head fiercely and said, "You are a pig. These are Tantric methods, and there is obviously something wrong with them. Tantric Buddhism inherits a little bit of Hinayana Buddhism at that time, and the Diamond Sutra is obviously a collection of Mahayana Buddhism. It is obvious that something is wrong with these two people together."
"Look at this group of portraits, from the clothes and shapes of the characters, they look too gorgeous and complicated, and there are obvious traces of Burmese Buddhism." Tang Feng pointed to one of the groups, and a more confusing expression appeared in his eyes. He said to himself: "From the material of this pagoda, I can tell that it is from ancient India, but why can such reliefs appear?"
"What's hard to understand?" Hearing Tang Feng's doubts, Yin Shen also had a little doubt in his heart, saying: "Maybe there were no reliefs in this tower before, but it was carved by later people? It could also be filled by later people."
"There is a possibility in theory, but this pagoda is absolutely impossible. I will judge based on my professional level. Look at the shape of this tower, the style and knife skills of these reliefs." Tang Feng stared at Yin Shen with his eyes tightly and said, "You and I are also professional. Can you not judge that this style is obviously an ancient Indian style? Look at the shapes of these Buddha statues, it is obvious that there is a little Buddhist style of the Tang Dynasty and Northern Wei styles."
As Tang Feng looked over his fingers, the two people's bodies were obviously shocked. The two people looked at each other in surprise, with incredible traces in their eyes.
"This, this..." Tang Feng took a few steps back in surprise, pointed at Futu and said in surprise: "Can the relief on it actually outlined the Buddhist heritage for thousands of years?"
Yin Shen's body fought several cold wars in a row, and all the reliefs of the nine-layer pagoda were continuously seen from the bottom. It was obvious that it was confirmed by Tang Feng's words. A look of surprise appeared in his eyes and murmured in his mouth: "It is said that the Buddha can see all the worlds, the past and the future, is it..."
Yin Shen turned his terrified eyes to Tang Feng, who was showing a thoughtful expression. He couldn't help but think: "It really exists?" Thinking of this, Yin Shen's face was a little pale, and he stood up and shouted to Tang Feng: "Brother, I suddenly remembered that I still have some urgent matters. This Futu will stay here first. When you figure it out, contact me. I am so tired now that I need to relax."
Looking at Tang Feng who was still slowly stroking Futu, Yin Shen knew this friend very well. He knew that Tang Feng's mind was completely immersed in thinking now.
He glanced around, shrugged his shoulder and said to himself, "I really don't understand, why don't you clean it? What a pity that these fine products buried in the dust."
His eyes swept to the computer on Tang Feng's desk, and he heard a slight moan of strange tones. He walked over gently, turning the computer's sound to the maximum. The whole store echoed with a blood-blooded sound, and then walked out of the store with a slight hand.
"Qianqian? I found that your boyfriend is doing something a little sorry for you in his store. As a best friend, I think I have the obligation to report to you." Then he quickly distanced his phone, heard the expected angry shouting and scolding on the phone, turned off the phone, looked back at the store, and said a little gloating: "Tang Feng, you saw my jokes all the way. I think it would be too much for me to compensate you for a little joke, right?"
All Hummers quickly disappeared into the black night.
Tang Feng's mind, who had no sense of Yin Shen left, was completely immersed in this pagoda. He gently stroked Futu with his hand and couldn't help but tighten his heart. From his touch, he completely felt that the carving on the entire surface of the pagoda was so perfect. The feeling of the entire carving pattern in his hand had a feeling of flowing creation, as if it was formed naturally in this pagoda.
"It's really hard to imagine that there is such superb carving." Tang Feng sighed, and picked up the pagoda, wanting to take a step closer to see what these carvings have carved.
"Huh? It seems that the weight is wrong." As a professional who has been dealing with objects for a long time, Tang Feng has long estimated the weight from the height and material of the entire Buddha, but it is obvious that he feels light when he holds it in his hand.
"Is this pagoda hollow?" Thinking of this, Tang Feng suddenly felt a little excited, because from his experience, it is even more incomprehensible to have something in such an artifact.
After shaking it gently, feeling the subtle swaying inside, Tang Feng felt even more excited and expectant. He looked at Futu in front of him and said to himself: "Although you are a national treasure-level thing, I have seen a lot of objects like you. I am very much looking forward to what is worth hiding with your appearance?"
A crisp sound echoed in the room. The dazzling pagoda just now turned into pieces all over the ground. Two things that emitted golden light and green light radiantly lay among the white pieces.
Holding the two things in his hand, he felt the warm feeling in his hand. Looking at the faint golden light, Tang Feng's eyes exuded a look of horror, because in his hand was a mini heart-shaped relics about the size of a thumb.
It was a relics. Tang Feng immediately made a conclusion in his heart that although the relics were not common, there were more than a dozen relics that Zeng Tangfeng had walked through. As the most mysterious thing in Buddhism, Tang Feng had done a long-term study for a while, but in the end he still did not understand how the relics were formed. However, the relics I saw before were all in the shape of beads, but this mini-heart-shaped relics were still the first to see.
Tang Feng's eyes then glanced at another thing that emitted a light green light. This one was a branch that looked green and dripping in it.
The hand gently stroked it, giving people a feeling of dampness, as if it had just been folded from a tree, giving people a fresh and rich vitality. But after all, this thing that has been buried in the pagoda for thousands of years, how could it give people this feeling?
Something recorded in the classics suddenly appeared in Tang Feng's mind.
"Is this the legendary Bodhi branch? In the legend, the Buddha cut down all the Bodhi trees in order to prevent someone from pursuing the Tao in the future? Is this the legendary tree a branch?" Tang Feng's heart could no longer be described as shock. He could feel the violent beating of his heart, and a thought that he felt terrible in his heart: "Is this heart relic the heart relic of Buddha Shakyamuni?"
Because it is recorded in the scriptures that after Sakyamuni passed away, a large number of relics were burned out, and Buddhists slowly spread these relics along with the Dharma. There is a Buddha's hand bone relics in the famous Famen Temple in China.
Just as Tang Feng was silly, the heart relics lying in his hand emitted a dazzling golden light. The figure of Sakyamuni seemed to appear in front of Tang Feng's eyes. With the appearance of the figure, the Zen singing of Sanskrit appeared in Tang Feng's ears.
"Stir..." A harsh voice appeared in front of the Tang Feng store again. A red convertible sedan was parked in front of the door. A beautiful girl in red clothes kicked the car door open, her eyebrows were raised, and she murmured in her mouth: "Okay, Tang Feng, take advantage of me to go out to make trouble, and see how I deal with you."
He quickly ran over the store door and kicked the door open with a snap. Another clearer footprint appeared on the door that had been printed with footprints. If someone looked carefully, he would find that all the footprints on the door were so similar in size.
A voice that made people's blood suddenly rushed into the angry girl's ears. The girl's face suddenly became ferocious from the previous anger. She glanced fiercely in the room. She soon found Tang Feng standing in the middle of the store and shouted loudly: "Tang Feng, you hooligan, see how I deal with you, you pervert, let me die for my aunt."
He didn't notice that Tang Feng was still standing motionless in the middle of the store since he entered the door. The girl rushed over and kicked Tang Feng's butt.
"Peng" With the heavy sound, Tang Feng's body fell down. A look of surprise appeared on the girl's face. She covered her little mouth with her hands, looked at Tang Feng who was lying on the ground in surprise, and made a subtle voice to herself: "What's going on? I actually kicked this guy who used to be like a loach?"
The huge pain came, and Tang Feng, who was lying on the ground, felt awake, but something seemed to be stuck in his throat. He swallowed it forcibly for a few times before he felt a little comfortable.
"Hey, what did I swallow just now?" Tang Fengchao looked in his hand and found that the relics in his heart were gone, only the Bodhi branch was held in his hand.
"Could it be..." Tang Feng blinked a few times and said to himself: "What I just swallowed is the Buddha's relics?"
Qianqian was about to rush over to help Tang Feng up, after all, she just kicked him hard. Although she was very happy, she had to show a gentleness to recover her image loss. Chang and Chi was the way a smart girl gets along with her boyfriend. But when she was about to help Tang Feng, she suddenly found that Tang Feng's body emitted a dazzling light.
A stinging pain made me close my eyes, and then slowly opened my eyes... But Tang Feng in front of me had disappeared.
"Tang Feng!!!" Qianqian, who was slumped on the ground, kept wailing tears in her eyes, and her hoarse voice shouted loudly in a desperate crying voice: "You are there, come out soon. I promise not to kick you anymore, and I won't kick the shop door anymore, and clean the shop in the future. Please come out soon."
