Chapter 327 Buddha Shrine
Yu Yao smiled at this moment, "No one can be calm about this kind of thing."

Xiao Ying nodded, "Let's talk about the handling of things first. This nebula mirror is originally an object to ward off evil spirits, but something happened in this room. I suggest that you hang it on the lintel outside the door of the collection room. As for the four pieces pottery figurine······"

Seeing Xiao Ying pondering, Lin Shaocong said, "Master Xiao, although the things have some value, but something like this happened, you can give it away."

"That's not necessary, it's just within a year, I'm afraid you won't be able to enjoy it. You make four cast iron boxes, seal them separately, and put a small piece of crystal in each. Take them out after a year, and you can do whatever you want. Iron is evil. Gold, the radiation of the crystal can interfere with its inherent breath, so the problem can be solved.”

"Then me?"

"When you had a headache just now, I used a spell to drive away most of the evil energy in your body, and at the same time formed the trend of spreading the evil energy. As for the rest, you can find a piece of turquoise that you can get. It’s enough if the material is pure, after a month or so, it will be resolved.”

"It's easy. It's just that Master Xiao hasn't mentioned this turquoise yet, how should I use it?"

"Pick it up!"

"Uh." Lin Shaocong was at a loss for words for a moment, but a cross talk joke involuntarily popped up in his mind: lumpy, sloppy, not mellow at all—let it go!
Xiao Ying looked at him, and explained briefly, "Three or five hours a day is enough. Jade is psychic, turquoise has strong adsorption, and also has the attribute of green wood, which is perfect."

"So simple?"

"It's easy to say, but hard to say!"

"Yes. Master Xiao pointed out that it must be a simple and easy method that will get twice the result with half the effort."

"The nebula mirror can hang the door lintel now, and the four pottery figurines can be placed in their original positions for the time being." After Xiao Ying finished speaking, he paused briefly, "Young Master Cong, let's enjoy your collection by the way, isn't it okay?"

"What did Master Xiao say? You can read it casually, and I will deal with it first."

Yu Yao thought to himself, Xiao Ying's interest in antiques was far less than his own, so he was thinking too much for himself.

Lin Shaocong put the four pottery figurines back to their original positions first, then took the nebula mirror out of the collection room, asked someone to explain it, and then immediately returned to the collection room and closed the door.

In Lin Shaocong's collection, there are no high-end products. Even if the market value of some items is not very high, they are all exquisite or unique items.

However, in this case, Yu Yao didn't like to take a closer look, he took a quick look at it.

I wanted to "make a quick decision", but there was something that Yu Yao couldn't help but take a closer look.

This is a red sandalwood altar, about 30 centimeters high and more than [-] centimeters wide.However, there is no Buddha statue inside.

The main body of this Buddhist altar is rectangular, but the top is in the shape of wishful thinking, and the two sides are carved with auspicious cloud patterns.From the perspective of craftsmanship, both the overall and the details are top-notch, and it should be the work of the court in the early Qing Dynasty.

However, what attracted Yu Yao was not this, but the reliefs on the inner wall of the altar.

It seems that it should be a temple in the mountains, but I can't see where it is. I can only judge from the style of the temple that it should be a Zen temple in Huaxia.

The reason why Yu Yao is attracted is because Yu Yao always feels that he has seen this pattern somewhere!But this pattern does not look like a famous mountain or temple that can be counted.

"Mr. Yu must have studied Buddhist altars too?" Lin Shaocong stepped forward.

"This is something from the court in the early Qing Dynasty." Yu Yao responded smoothly.

Lin Shaocong clapped his palms lightly, "A master is a master! This is the shrine used by Emperor Shunzhi, and I got it from Hong Kong Island. It is said that there was a white jade Buddha in it, but its whereabouts have long been unknown."

Yu Yao nodded, in terms of year and pattern, this is believable.Emperor Shunzhi believed in Zen Buddhism, which was different from his great-grandson Qianlong who believed in Tantric Tibetan Buddhism.

Moreover, because there are too few records about Shunzhi's death in official history, there is only one sentence: Ding Si, Ye, Zi Ke, died in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Therefore, there are so many rumors about Shunzhi not dying, but becoming a monk.

It is difficult to determine whether he became a monk or not, but he believed in Zen Buddhism and there are some historical materials to check.

In the 16th year of Shunzhi, Yulin Tongxiu, an eminent Zen monk of Baoen Temple in Huzhou, came to Beijing, met him in Shunzhi, and treated him as a Zen master.Yulin Tongxiu's disciple Xingsen also met Shunzhi.The saying of Shunzhi's Dharma name "Xing Chi" is basically based on this, but there is no way to further verify it.

In the 17th year of Shunzhi, the favorite concubine Dong E of Shunzhi died of illness. In the grief of Shunzhi, he had the idea of ​​escaping into Buddhism, but was opposed by the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and important ministers. Zen Master Yulin Tongxiu also dissuaded him face to face, so he did not make the trip. .

Soon after, in the first month of the 18th year of Shunzhi, he died.Many scholars now believe that it is "suffering from pox", that is, dying from smallpox.

"Young Master Cong, do you know where this relief pattern is from?"

"It is said that it is based on the Baoen Temple in Huzhou in the Qing Dynasty, but it has also undergone some artistic changes, and the Baoen Temple in the Qing Dynasty is gone now." Lin Shaocong shook his head, "The most regrettable thing is that this Buddhist altar is not as good as it should be. I found something! Originally, it was equipped with Kesi niche curtains, and the pattern was consistent with the inner wall, but I can’t find it!”

This sentence made Yu Yao think of it all of a sudden!

The piece of tapestry I got is more than half a meter long and more than a foot wide. Doesn't it match the Buddhist altar?At that time, I still felt strange, this piece of tapestry is neither big nor small, what is it for?

Later, when he thought about the Buddhist altar, Pu Jie joked that Concubine Xi used it very well after she became the empress dowager.

It’s just that the piece of tapestry was a bit dirty, and I could only see it vaguely. It should be similar to the content of the fairy mountain cave, so when I saw the relief pattern on the inner wall of the Buddhist altar just now, I felt like I had seen it somewhere, but I couldn’t remember the details!
This piece of tapestry has never been cleaned by an expert. Later, Yu Yao had many things to do, so he put it down for a while.

Unexpectedly, today at Lin Shaocong's place, they can almost match the number!

Of course, the tapestry has not been washed, so it is not conclusive, but the possibility is not small, because although it is dirty, some content can still be seen.

"Mr. Yu?" Seeing that Yu Yao was in a daze, Lin Shaocong couldn't help asking softly.

Yu Yao came back to his senses, "Young Master Cong, can you find a master at cleaning Kesi?"

Lin Shaocong frowned, and immediately asked, "Mr. Yu, this tapestry niche curtain is not in your hands, is it? And it's dirty?"

"Just saying it's possible, but I haven't found a master who can clean Kesi." Yu Yao thought to himself, if these two things are really a set, it's best to combine them into one.

In this way, either he bought Lin Shaocong's shrine, or Lin Shaocong bought his Kesi.Or, both of them don't want to part with each other, so after cleaning, it is also good to enjoy a complete set of Buddhist altars together for a while.

Lin Shaocong thought for a while, "This is no problem. Then wash it out first, and then talk about the future?"
