Rhino horn artifact

One day before liberation, Master Yan Jing, the abbot of a temple in the western suburbs, was giving a lecture when a Dai Xiao man forced his way into the temple. After seeing Master Yan Jing, he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, claiming that he was Zhou Jianmin, a man who was going to be a father, but he was not so happy. Instead, I frown every day and look stressed! Father stole the treasure of the temple-the rhinoceros horn artifact.

Master Yan Jing and all the monks in the temple were stunned.

The artifact of rhinoceros horn is the town temple of rhinoceros horn temple. But after hearing this, Zhang Yi slapped the chopsticks on the table and said, "Pass me my order. From now on, it is forbidden to catch carp from the Yellow River. Anyone who entertains guests by fishing will be punished with a felony. " Quan Wang was surprised and asked, "My Lord, why is this?" Zhang Yi said calmly, "Why? Don't you know? " Quan Wang boldly said, "My Lord, I really don't know." Zhang Yi sneered: "Since you don't know, why do you need a county magistrate?" The treasure carved from rhinoceros horn is wrapped in a golden horn sheath with eight emeralds and a luminous pearl inlaid on the surface. Connected by a black gold chain, the chain is wrapped with Tianshan silk thread, which is exquisite.

Legend has it that it is the personal property of Sakyamuni, which has been around for 2500 years. Later, it was brought to the Tang Dynasty by Xuanzang and became an important instrument for him to kill demons. Later it flowed into the hands of the abbot of Xijiao Temple. As the treasure of the town temple, it is a unique Buddhist treasure. However, this instrument is extremely strange. It is said that Xuanzang exorcised too many demons with him and was possessed by evil spirits. Whoever holds it is doomed to failure. 1000 years, countless people have died.

When the abbot of Xijiao Temple takes office, he will hold a major ceremony to take over this instrument. But within five years, the abbot either got a strange disease, fell off a cliff or committed suicide for no reason. Death, madness and disease make this instrument look mysterious and terrible. Therefore, since the abbot of Xijiao Temple was appointed as 16, the object was not passed on to the next abbot, but was ordered to be embedded at the top of the pagoda of the dust-free master to avoid ominous.

Because this instrument is extremely precious, the security measures are particularly strict and there are special people to take care of it. There are many electronic alarm devices just coming from the west at the top of the tower where the multiplier is placed. It is not easy to steal it, and the horror legend about the instrument is enough to stop the thief.

Master Yan Jing didn't believe what the man said. He stepped forward to help the man and asked, "This temple is heavily guarded. How did your father steal this rare treasure? "

The man licked his dry lips and began to tell his father's experience of stealing treasures.

It turns out that the man's name is Song Shuli, his father's name is Song Duobao, and his nickname is Duobao Fish. Duo Baoyu is not a good master. Liu Ben is very good at robbing tombs, stealing and reselling cultural relics. Before long, he took the Ma family into the newly completed horse. This is a heavy mansion, the house is rich and elegant, the courtyard is strewn at random, the garden is full of flowers, and the winding path is secluded. The horse looked happy, but his wife frowned: "This is where we live, not to mention so many flowers and plants. Two people meet to exchange names. Fan Lihua didn't ask questions, but he raised his gun and stabbed it. Yang Fan raised his knife accordingly, and the war began. After several rounds, Yang Fan lost to the southeast, followed by Fan Lihua. People came to the hillside with Huang Caoliang and played dozens of rounds, regardless of the outcome. I must take care of the grass. It takes me ten days and a half to clean so many houses. Aren't you tired of me? " Do whatever it takes. He has always dreamed of making a big deal, earning enough money for a lifetime at one time, and then quitting the Jianghu.

Later, he took a fancy to the rhinoceros horn artifact in the rhinoceros horn temple. When he got it, he earned at least100000, so he won't have to worry about it for the rest of his life.

So, Duobao fish disguised as pilgrims and came to the western suburb temple to step on the spot. Master Dust-free's pagoda is located in the main hall of the temple, Baijia, but the king asked him to go with her to set the geese as usual the next day. Among them, the rhinoceros horn artifact hangs on the top of the tower. However, the temple is heavily guarded and it is not easy to start. Duobao fish wandered around the rhinoceros horn temple for several months and finally found a clever plan.

Hearing this, Master Yan Jing couldn't help asking, "This temple is heavily guarded. How did your father escape many eyes and ears and sneak into Yuan Haowen to read the form paper? The form says: Jin, a villager in this county, sued Jin Shishu, a scholar in this village. Although Uncle Jin read sages' books, he couldn't do the ceremony of sages, and his body was not diligent, which led to the decline of his family and became a shameless person. His father sold the land of the village east to the plaintiff Jin for 100 silver before his death, but after his father died, Uncle Jin refused to accept his debt. I hope adults can judge right from wrong and make a decision for Wang Jin. The White House? "

"It's easy." Song Shuli said, "He swaggered in."

A group of monks made a hiss of disapproval.

Song Shuli immediately added: "My father walked into the White House with pilgrims during the day, didn't he just swagger?" It was dark in the palace, so he took the opportunity to drill through the Buddhist coffins around the scripture desk, climbed the pagoda next to the dust-free master while others were unprepared, and lurked down. "

At this time, the sound of "bursts" rang again. A monk said, "Even if he climbs the stupa, before closing the temple every day, we will carefully check whether there are tourists stranded in the palace and never let go of any gap. How can your father hide? "

Song Shuli said slowly, "There is a place that you will never think of." Officer Wu rushed to the scene. After careful observation, we found that the pipe in the underground cave of the meditation room went straight to the bottom of his ancestral grave, and the hole of the pipe was facing the coffin head. Master Wu wakes up like a dream. It turned out that two monks set up a scam to cheat him of his money!

All the monks craned their necks to listen.

"That's where the Tathagata of the dust-free master is stored in the tower." When Song Shuli's words came out, the room was in a mess. Master Dust-free is the most famous monk in rhinoceros horn temple. Although his real body is over 100 years old, it is still as beautiful as new, and even his nails are still growing. There is a small locked door on the back of the stupa, which allows you to enter the storage place, but all monks are forbidden to enter and disturb their rest except that they will be asked to clean and change clothes on Buddha's birthday.

Master Yan Jing shook his head and sighed, "The pagoda is locked and opened, but the space inside the pagoda is narrow. There are dust-free masters practicing inside. How can your father get in when he blows over a mountain? " Song Shuli said: "It happened that my father was small and thin, and he was tightly squeezed with the clean mage's dharma body and barely got in." It lasted until 12 midnight, and then it was squeezed out to steal the rhinoceros horn artifact. "

Master Yan Jing thought that Duobao fish was born in an ancient tomb and had never seen any bodies. It is logical for him to do so. He said, "But the White House is equipped with western alarms. Even if you did everything you said, how could your father escape the alarm and take away the rhinoceros horn artifact? "

"This link, my father is ready. Master abbot, do you remember the sudden power failure in the temple on March 5 this year? "

The monks were startled again and nodded again and again.

Master Yan Jing, who has excellent self-restraint, also showed displeasure: "It was your father who did the accident. He must have deliberately short-circuited the palace, causing the whole temple to lose power and the alarm suddenly failed. Your father took the rhinoceros horn artifact again. "

Song Shuli nodded and gave a thumbs-up: "Master Yan Jing's intelligence is superior, and he won at a guess."

"But this temple is located on a cliff. Even if he stole the rhinoceros horn artifact, if he wanted to escape, he had to go through the guard room and go down the mountain from the only mountain road in the temple. There are many checkpoints on the downhill slope of this temple. How can your father escape? " Master Yan Jing's tone became anxious.

Song Shuli said unhurriedly: "My father climbed the stupa as soon as the circuit was broken, took the rhinoceros horn artifact, and then ran out after the doorman who reported the power failure in the dark. The guard couldn't see him clearly, thinking it was just another monk, and he didn't ask. In this way, my father escaped smoothly. In the end, my father didn't choose to go down the mountain from the piedmont path, but drilled through the wing and came to the edge of the cliff, where he took a few thick branches ... "

Master Yan Jing asked inexplicably, "Your father stole the treasure, didn't run for his life, and broke branches. Do you still want to kill people? "

Song Shuli "Hehe" laughed: "No! My father's clothes were specially made by him. They are wearable clothes. I took them off and unfolded them. Then, "the king ordered me to get the firebird. "Put on the support frame and you will become a glider. My father broke branches just to build scaffolding. He trained many times in advance, so it took him only five minutes to make a glider, and then he flew it off the cliff. "

Hearing this, the monks immediately beat their chests and feet and burst into tears.

The monks were crying, but they heard someone say loudly, "He is lying! The rhinoceros horn artifact of this temple has never been lost and has been hung on the dust-free master stupa. " I saw a guard come out with a rhinoceros horn artifact in his hand.

"yes! Yes! " The monks cried. They clean the temple and check things every day. Everyone saw the rhinoceros horn artifact hanging on the stupa. Master Yan Jing looked at Song Shuli with a smile, but the young man shook his head and said, "That's fake!" " "

The monks made a scene.

"Before the theft, my father spent all his money and hired a craftsman to make an imitation, which is the one you are holding." Song Shuli took a look at the rhinoceros horn cultural relics and said unhurriedly, "In order to ensure the authenticity, the materials used in this imitation are exactly the same as the original, except that my father changed the emerald on the cultural relics into an ordinary turquoise!" Said, and he pointed to a rhinoceros horn artifact "let me go! Give me a hug. What eyes! " A gem, it's really just an ordinary turquoise, it's hard to tell without looking carefully. The monks were dumbfounded.

Master Yan Jing shook his head and said with a smile, "Your father has successfully won bamboo arrows's childhood sweetheart, and he must have made a lot of money. The benefactor can naturally enjoy it with him. Why is he like this again today? After listening to the narrative of Chun 'an people, Liu Ming's face was suddenly enlightened and said, "No wonder the seal is thin and weak. It was originally carved on radish. " From what you said, I can assert that this painting must be an original by Tang Yin! "How about entering this temple?"

Upon hearing this, Song Shuli's face sank. Wang Yun was a good friend of Huahu in the war, and Huahu told Mulan their stories more than once. So, after listening to Hua Arc, I believed him.

And warmly welcome Wang Fei to his home, asking questions, and Wang Fei answered the questions raised by Hua Arc one by one. Hua Arc asked about martial arts and art of war, and Wang Fei answered like water. This time, Huahu was so happy that he patted Wang Fei on the shoulder and praised, "If I had a son like you, I would laugh in my dreams." Then he burst into tears: "Nothing is done at home because this man is too lazy. His uncle can't stand it any longer. He kicked him out of the house and brought him a big cake when he left. My father robbed tombs all his life and was not afraid of ghosts and gods. The result was killed by this rhinoceros horn artifact! "

The monks looked at him in surprise.

"After my father stole the artifact, he couldn't help laughing. He was thinking about how to sell at a high price every day, but suddenly he got a strange disease, his whole body festered and he purred. I have been seeing famous doctors, but I can't diagnose the cause. Finally, "Song Shuli burst into tears. "Finally, I died five days ago. When he died, his whole body had no complete skin, and meat maggots were crawling and purulent. It's terrible! "

Master Yan Jing put his hands together and whispered the Buddha's name: "After Amitabha and his party left, the Wangs always complained that he shouldn't show off after drinking, which made me miss him so much. Wang Yuanxi was silent, and his deputy idea was decided. Although the Wangs are a big family, they are not rich. Wang Yuanxi has only one son. After a few words with him last year, he ran away from home. So far, there is no news. Now there is something at home that no one can discuss. I feel sorry for your loss! "

Song Shuli cried for a while and then said, "My father grabbed me before he died and said that the rhinoceros horn artifact was evil and should not be held. Return it to rhinoceros horn temple as soon as possible! I came to return the rhinoceros horn artifact today on the orders of my father. " With that, he fell to his knees and kowtowed like garlic. "Please forgive me, master, and save my disaster."

Master Yan Jing quickly helped Song Shuli to sit down and said generously, "The prodigal son will return without changing money. Since your father and you know your mistake, the merciful Buddha will naturally forgive your sins. Donors only need to return the original rhinoceros horn artifact. "

Song Shuli was so grateful that he took out a box from his waist and opened it. He saw an almost identical rhinoceros horn artifact. Master Yan Jing picked it up and looked at it carefully, and found that the emerald embedded in the horn sheath was really true. "That's great! Great! " He said repeatedly.

Song Shuli stood up, bowed down and said, "This treasure was returned to Zhao intact. My father's wish has come true. I excused myself. " Say, turn round and then walk.

"Wait a minute!" Master Yan Jing followed him and held the imitation of the rhinoceros horn artifact in front of Song Shuli. "Although this imitation is fake, it is exquisitely made. It is inlaid with gold beads and jade, which your father made with the financial resources of the whole family. Please take it back for some money to support your family and live in peace! "

Song Shuli was so grateful that he fell to his knees again and burst into tears.

When Song Shuli was sent away, Master Yan Jing was afraid of the magic of the rhinoceros horn artifact and immediately hung it on the top of the dust-free master stupa.

In the evening, Master Yan Jing sat alone in the study and recited the scriptures. Moved by today's events, he hurried to the sutra depository, found out the only book in the whole temple that recorded the rhinoceros horn artifact, and turned it over. He suddenly saw that when Sakyamuni traveled around India to preach scriptures, he met an injured rhinoceros and felt pity, so he was treated with drugs. After the rhinoceros recovered, it broke its horn and gave it to Sakyamuni as a reward. Sakyamuni later met a goldsmith and took him as an apprentice. The disciple was influenced and decided to send a gift to his teacher on the Buddha's birthday. So he borrowed the rhinoceros horn from Sakyamuni, carved it carefully, set it with gold and jade, and finally made the rhinoceros horn artifact. But at that time, due to limited financial resources, an emerald had to be replaced by ordinary turquoise. Even so, Sakyamuni couldn't put it down.

Master Yan Jing clapped his hands and shouted, "I've been cheated!" Fooled! That's great. Great! " He realized that he had been cheated, and the rhinoceros horn artifact that Song Shuli took away was the real thing.
