"This is a big peacock king Bodhisattva, also known as 'Buddha Mother King Kong', four feet eight inches high, weighing fifty-six pounds, the Buddha mother by the golden peacock king, knotted sitting on the green flowers, four arms respectively hold the lotus flower, the fruit of the edge, the auspicious fruit, the peacock tail...... The starting price is 3,000 taels of gold, and the monk intends to ask him back? ”

"The host of Bailin Temple has raised his hand, and he is willing to bid four thousand taels of gold!"

"The host of Lingyin Temple also raised his hand, bidding five thousand taels of gold, is there anything higher?"

"It's still the Shenguang master who is pious, bidding eight thousand taels of gold, since no one raises his hand again, this Daming King Bodhisattva is from Tianyi Temple!"

…………

The shopping and spending money are like flowing water, raising prices and shouting one after another, the monks are tired and exhausted, and their voices are hoarse, so they simply sit cross-legged in their positions and let Liang Xiaoyu perform alone.

The process is as follows: Raise a glass Buddha statue, first introduced by Liang Xiaoyu, anyway, pick up the good ones, and then open an auction low price, or two thousand taels of gold, or three thousand taels of gold, the lower the price will be......

The monks stopped shouting, and when they encountered a recognized glass Buddha statue, they would raise their fingers to signal, and one finger would add five hundred taels of gold until the highest price appeared!

The shy monks will take the initiative to find the money village personnel and use the temple's shops, fields, and houses as collateral to borrow some gold, and the more the amount of loans, the more things that will be mortgaged, and some people will press the bronze bells and Buddha statues!

That's it, raise your hand, raise the price, borrow, mortgage...... Repeating the cycle, recklessly, the monks were mentally numb until the last auction item appeared - the Buddha statue of Dainichi Nyorai!

This Buddha statue is eight feet high, weighs more than 300 catties, is the largest in the auction, but also the highest level of craftsmanship, the Buddha statue is golden, wearing the crown of five wisdoms, the fist seal of wisdom, and sits on the seven Leo seats...... The treasure is very solemn, which makes people feel the urge to kneel and worship!

"Amitabha, the Great Day Rulai Glass Dharma Statue, this is the treasure of my Buddhism!"

"The poor monk is out of the way, even if the temple is mortgaged, he will also invite this Buddha statue back!"

……………………

As soon as the Buddha statue came out on the big day, the monks became lively again, all pulling their hoarse voices and constantly shouting amazing sky-high prices, which is no longer a hard work, but a desperate old life!

Buddhism claims that all living beings are equal, but in fact, there are six levels of hierarchy according to practice, and there are 12 different fruits, from high to low, there are Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Vajra, bhikshus, bhikshunis, and Garan......

It is also to burn incense and worship the Buddha, the Arhat enshrined in the temple in the east, and the Buddha enshrined in the temple in the west, do you say that the believers go there...... Naturally, whoever kowtows to whom, so the monks are not fighting for the Buddha statue of the Great Day, but also for the number of believers, and the believers are incense money!

After a fierce struggle, it was still the wealth of Tianyi Temple, and I invited this 'glass Buddha statue of Da Ri Rulai', but the previous few auctions consumed a lot of financial resources, and there was not much left in the Shenguang monk's money bag!

I had to use the temple's fields and real estate as collateral, and borrowed 15,000 taels of gold from Wuwu Qian Zhuang to make up the money.

After fierce competition, eighteen pieces of glazed Buddha statues, belonging to different temples, the winners of the eyebrows danced, the losers shook their heads and sighed, so far the auction also ended successfully, the magnates, monks have left their seats, that did not take a few steps, and there was a change......

"Monks, please stay, Wu Zhen traveled to Tianzhu country, and brought back a Buddhist treasure, I wanted to keep it for heirlooms, it can be seen that the monks are so virtuous, and even sighed in their hearts, and decided to put it up for auction!"

"There are even treasures auctioned, Wu Zhen has gained a lot from this trip, until we are squeezed dry!"

"The glass is a treasure of the Buddhist family, and what is the value of it is even more on it, the old man really can't think of it!"

……………

The monks all stopped, either shocked or suspicious, and kept whispering, and the magnates didn't leave, wanting to stay and watch the show, but Liang Xiaoyu only said three words, and let everyone run back to their seats--relics!

In Buddhism, the relics refer to the crystals formed when the body is cremated after the death of the Buddha and the monks, which is the three practices of precepts, concentration, and wisdom, and the transformation of the power of the great wish.

The relics are round, oval, and lotus-shaped, and the colors are also different, including pure white Buddha bone relics, black Buddha hair relics, and red Buddha flesh relics...... Relics are extremely rare and revered as sacred relics of Buddhism!

Of course, the 'Eight Buckets and Four Buckets' is just an imaginary number, in fact, after Shakyamuni passed away, he got a parietal skull, two phalanges, four teeth, a middle finger bone, and a small number of bead-shaped real body relics from the ashes, because the number was too scarce, so he had to use gold, silver, and jade to imitate a number of relics, and sent them to various places to build pagodas for worship!

It is said that Buddhism first entered the Middle Earth, and can not be convinced, so the two Tianzhu monks, Zhu Loteng, invited out a Buddha tooth relic, in public to show its magical powers, the fire can not be burned, the pestle of the King Kong can not be broken, so the Han monarchs and ministers were impressed, and spent a lot of money to build the White Horse Temple!

After the completion of the White Horse Temple, the Buddha's tooth relics are stored in the golden letter, hidden in the temple underground palace, only the abbots of the past generations know where they are, and they have never been shown for hundreds of years, and are called 'the first treasure of Buddhism!' ’

Make an analogy: for Buddhism, the relics are equivalent to the role of the jade seal and the state power, who can hold the relics in hand, can command the disciples of Buddhism all over the world, and no one dares to resist the majesty of the Buddha!

Don't look at the monks of Tianyi Temple - domineering, unstoppable, but when you meet the monks of the White Horse Temple, you have to obediently bow your head and ears, people are the ancestral court of Buddhism, and there are relics to guard the heritage!

"If there is a relic, it is really the treasure of Buddhism, the treasure of the treasure!"

"The relics are the supreme treasure, Wu Zhen is an ordinary man, how can he get it, let's see if it's true or not!"

………………

In the confusion of the monks, four attendants carried a wooden box, which was layered and covered with various seals, and eight soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding sharp blades guarded the box every step of the way.

Liang Xiaoyu looked solemn, washed his hands first, bowed to the box, and then opened the seal layer by layer, took out a 'Silver Prism Dome Sandalwood Treasure Letter' and bowed again, and took out a 'Gilded Four Heavenly Kings Dome Silver Treasure Letter'......

Sixth: Plain Noodles Dome Silver Treasure Letter......

The fifth: gilt such as the Dharma top silver treasure letter......

Fourth: Six-armed Guanyin Pure Gold Treasure Letter......

………………

The last heavy: it is a single eaves pure gold four-door tower with a pearl top, three inches high, two inches wide, it is hammered into shape, the pattern is flat chisel, open to reveal a lotus gold seat, there is a crystal on it, about the size of a broad bean, under the illumination of the lamp, emitting a colorful glow...... Twinkle and twinkle like stars falling into the world!

"Amitabha...... Amitabha...... Amitabha...... That Fowler! ”

During the opening of the eightfold treasure letter, the monks slowly gathered around, all of them bowed to the ground with five bodies, and bowed their heads step by step, and finally surrounded the relics in groups, and the eight soldiers were crowded...... Or stunned, slumped on the ground, or prostrated and prostrate!

Even the old monk of Yijie didn't pretend to be blind anymore, and after rolling his eyes for a while, he shot out two superb gazes, staring at the relics tightly, eager to snatch them over, but he didn't dare to offend them in the slightest!

But after watching for a long time, no one spoke, let alone made an offer, and the great monks were thinking about a difficult problem, how to prove that this crystal is a real Buddha relic?

The relics are the treasures of Buddhism, they have not been shown in the world for hundreds of years, and the hundreds of great monks present, no one has ever seen the relics, not even the pictures, and it is naturally difficult to distinguish the true from the fake!

In the underground palace of the White Horse Temple, there is a real relic, but it seems unlikely to be able to congratulate it in Xuchang City and compare it with the one in front of you.

Besides, the Buddha's relics are divided into several kinds, with different sizes, shapes, and colors, even if the two relics are put together, it can't prove who is true and who is fake?

The monks scratched their ears and cheeks, and no one could think of a good way, so they had to look at Liang Xiaoyu, hoping that he could come up with evidence to prove that this relic was real, so that they would go bankrupt and invite the relics back!

Liang Xiaoyu rolled his eyes, he was just a businessman, he had no magical powers, and it was the first time he had encountered this kind of thing, how to prove the authenticity of the relics, even if he had a way, he didn't dare to use it, because ......

When he was at a loss, an attendant walked to the high platform and handed Liang Xiaoyu a note, who secretly opened it and watched: 'Burn it with fire, hammer it!' ’
