Chapter 237

ty, but I couldn't move. I yelled with red eyes, but all I could do was watch Dr. An sink little by little.Just at this critical moment."Slap... A piece of rotten wood was thrown in front of us."I loo...Sometimes, reality is more exciting than movies.

After Qin Xiping left, the next day was scheduled to meet with three buyers. I had previously guessed that once this item was sold, it would definitely be worth seven figures.

We can split them up, with each person getting a few dozen shouldn't be a problem.

A turning point appeared the night before the deal.

That day, I was taking a shower and holding a basin, just about to go back to my room to sleep when he suddenly called me to his room.

The curtains were drawn inside the room. A statue of King Ashoka's West Xia pagoda was placed on the table, and his face was currently grim.

I curiously asked what was wrong with my head, did the tower have a problem

He pointed to his head, meaning "Let me see."

After looking at it, I said, "It's nothing. Just the head of the stupa we brought out that day from Ayutthaya."

"> "

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He said with a serious expression: "Take another look, take a good look. If you still can't see it, I have a magnifying glass here."

I pulled up a chair and sat down, picking up the Ayodhya Stupa in my hands and turning it over.

"No problem, the head is perfect, no repairs or cracks.

"

"Wait a minute..."

I repeated the action, lifting the iron tower with both hands and shaking it gently.

Maybe I just didn't have enough strength before, so I leaned my ear closer and shook it back and forth.

It is already midnight now, the surroundings are eerily silent, and even the slightest sound can be heard clearly.

Just as I was swaying up and down the tower, I distinctly heard a strange noise coming from inside the fourth section of the tower. The sound was very faint.

I put down the iron tower, and said in surprise, "This... there's something hidden inside the fourth section of the tower!"

He nodded solemnly, "I overlooked it before. I couldn't figure it out. This tower was cast as a whole, why only put something in the fourth section of the tower back then"

If this tower was built by Party-Khan believers seven hundred years ago, what important things would they have sealed inside

“As for the heads,” I questioned, “I’ve heard that Tibetan Buddhist artifacts and objects made by the Qing dynasty workshops would be sealed with a bottom cover after completion. Some believers would seal their fingernails, hair, or even personal scriptures and texts inside before capping it and smoothing it flat with a file.”

Then, shouldn't we think about the possibility of the same thing happening to the Ashoka Stupa

He slowly shook his head and said, "The Ayothaya pagoda is a supreme Buddhist art piece. Although the one we got is small, it's still remarkable."

Besides the golden vase with the sacred signature of the Buddha from Potala Palace and the nine-eyed Dzi bead, only the Eight Great Tangkas can reach this level.

I understand what he means. He thinks the stupa of Ashoka is a sacred relic, and what is enshrined inside cannot be just ordinary believers' nails and hair. It's likely to be something as important as the stupa of Ashoka itself.

Then the question arises, currently known, what kind of artifacts can reach this level

Few and far between.

There is only one extant Jinpin Zhisheng (a kind of gold vessel), crafted from sixteen jin of pure gold. The bottle is divided into three sections, each engraved with a themed painting using a knife.

The middle of the bottle is engraved with the human world, the bottom with hell, and the top with paradise.

A golden bottle is used for casting divination lots. Divination lots are used to determine the identity of a tulku, the reincarnation of a previous living Buddha.

It is said that only the reincarnated spirit child of a living Buddha can throw a bamboo stick into the golden bottle. For others, even if they are close, they cannot throw it in.

The Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead is more famous, inlaid on the forehead of the Potala Palace statue. This thing is the most powerful existence in the Dzi Bead world.

Before, Dzi beads were sacred objects. Now they've become collectibles. Things like "Medicine Buddha Dzi," "Tiger Teeth Dzi," "Nine-Eyed Jasper Dzi," and "Silk Thread Agate Dzi" are all names given by people now and aren't the same as genuine Buddhist sacred objects, the Mengtian Dzi. They're all junk."Damn you! If you hadn't stolen our camels and water, I wouldn't have smashed that bottle tree to get some!""Stop it!" Zhao Xuanyan shouted at Aza. "Hurry up and think of a way, if we keep arguing, al...
