Reborn Jewelry

Chapter 99

On these wooden beads, except for the bead with a slightly different carving technique, the surface of the other wooden beads is engraved with the statue of the Venerable Arhat, which is exactly the Eighteen Arhats in Buddhism!

These are not ordinary wooden beads, they are clearly Buddhist beads, also known as rosary beads!

Obviously, if these Buddhist beads are strung together, it is clearly a string of Buddhist beads!
And the wooden bead, which is different from the other [-] Buddhist beads, only has a simple but magnificent "Buddha" character engraved on the surface, so it is naturally the main bead of this string of Buddhist beads.

The people who hid these Buddhist beads were well-intentioned, and even came up with such a method of hiding wood with wood, and even broke up these Buddhist beads.

I don't know who is hiding these beads.

If that person knew that the small wooden carving he used to cover up the Buddhist beads fell into the hands of others so easily, he might be so angry.

The Buddhist beads that can be hidden with such painstaking efforts are absolutely impossible to be ordinary goods!
With a serious face, Chu Ning picked up a Buddhist bead and looked at it.

A Buddhist bead bracelet made of eighteen sub-beads plus one main bead is often called pendant beads.

Buddha beads have always been divided into three types, holding beads, wearing beads, and hanging beads.

Pearls are one of the most common.

The raw materials of pearls are often famous for their precious and bright colors. They are not only one of the most suitable instruments for Buddhists to promote Buddhism, but also can be used as accessories to embellish themselves.

Therefore, from ancient times to the present, no matter whether they believe in Buddhism or not, there have never been a few people who carry beads in themselves.

It is also for this reason that the materials used for pendant beads are becoming more and more valuable, among which not only one or two are as rare as national treasures.

Chu Ning studied the Buddhist beads in her hand for a long time before finally confirming that the raw material for making these Buddhist beads was Liudao wood, which is rare among Buddhist beads!

The Liudao wood that everyone is talking about now grows in most provinces and regions in China, but it is not cherished.Moreover, its flowering period is very long, and it is often used as garden decoration, and it is also used to make Buddhist beads.

But this kind of Liudaomu is obviously not worth surprising Chu Ning.

Although these Buddhist beads in Chu Ning's hands are made of Liudao wood, they refer to Liu Dao wood that grows in Mount Wutai!

Mount Wutai, located in the territory of my country's SX province, together with Mount Putuo in Zhejiang, Mount Jiuhua in AH and Mount Emei in Sichuan, are known as the Four Famous Mountains of Buddhism in my country.

Such a place naturally has an unusual status for Buddhism.

Liudaomu from Mount Wutai is light yellow in color, with six light-colored stripes on the surface, and the wood is very hard.

From the perspective of Buddhism, the six stripes on the surface of Liudao wood represent the six reincarnations in Buddhism, which is originally related to Buddhism.And the six trees that grow in Mount Wutai, a Buddhist holy place, are almost becoming one of the sacred objects of Buddhism.

According to legend, Mount Wutai is the place where Manjusri Bodhisattva preached the scriptures and preached the Dharma.Therefore, Mount Wutai is also known as the Holy Land of Manjusri.

And the Buddhist beads made of Liudao wood in Wutai Mountain are regarded by Buddhist believers as a token of Manjusri Bodhisattva. They have far-reaching significance and are often cherished and used throughout their lives.

As with any wood, the older it is, the more precious it is.

The Buddhist beads in Chu Ning's hands are obviously not made of wood that is more than ten years old or even a few years old.

It must be more than a hundred years old.

This kind of Wutai Mountain Liudaomu is often carefully protected by the Buddhist temples in Wutai Mountain, and it rarely falls into the hands of outsiders, which makes it even more precious.

When Chu Ning stroked the beads in her hand, she could clearly feel the smoothness and moistness of the beads themselves. Obviously, these beads had been carried around by people for decades, and they were definitely not just cosmetic items displayed in ordinary stores.

As for the exact age of the beads... Judging from her perception of the beads, these beads are at least from the Song Dynasty!
This is really amazing.

There is no string for such a top-quality Buddhist bead, and there are only nineteen beads left alone. I don't know what embarrassing thing happened to it.

But even so, even if these beads are released alone, they will definitely sell for an unexpected high price!
And this whole string of Buddhist beads, if you can find a good monk and re-thread it with the string that was enshrined in front of the Buddha, the value can almost be compared with ordinary national treasures!
If someone who believes in Buddhism hears about it, maybe the price can go up even more!
After calculating the value of these Buddhist beads, Chu Ning was shocked!
She does not believe in Buddhism, but she has no resistance to Buddhism.

But these Buddhist beads are so beautiful, and they feel very comfortable in the hand.

Chu Ning just pinched a Buddhist bead and wandered around in her palm, and her slightly irritable heart immediately calmed down, as if she had really found peace.

She thought in a trance, this is not an ordinary rosary, it is clearly a Buddhist instrument, right? !
I really got lucky this time...

Chu Ning immediately fell in love with the beads in front of her eyes.

She immediately made a decision in her mind.

No matter how much these Buddhist beads are worth, she will never give them up, and will only keep them by her side.

But the biggest problem now is that she must find a suitable string for these prayer beads before she can really use them.

How can I find the right rope?
The figure of her father suddenly appeared in Chu Ning's mind.

As Fang Taihe's son-in-law, Chu Yinglue is not only a well-known antique appraiser in China, but also inherited Fang Taihe's contacts and expanded them.

Among Chu Yinglue's close acquaintances, one is the abbot of the famous Leiguang Temple in Hanzhou City, Master Duchen.

When Chu Ning was young, she went to Leiguang Temple with her grandfather and met this Duchen master.

In her impression, Master Duchen is a very gentle person, always smiling, especially pleasing to children.

However, she only went there once.

Later, her grandfather passed away, her parents divorced, and her life became a mess. How could she be in the mood to go to a temple?
Now more than ten years have passed, no matter how good Master Duchen's memory is, he probably won't be able to remember her.

It is obviously unrealistic for her to go to Master Duchen alone to ask for the rope.

Even if she used the names of grandfather and father, it might not be of any use.

Unless, father can personally stand up for her.

Is she going to ask her father?

Chu Ning hesitated for a while.

After thinking about it for a long time, Chu Ning still couldn't make up her mind.

She sighed silently, carefully put away the prayer beads, reassembled the little monkey wood carving and placed it on her bookshelf, temporarily forgetting about it.

Whether to ask her father for these prayer beads or not, she still has to think about it.
