When boss Cheng said this, he paused, glanced at Yang Haifeng and continued: "later, Empress Dowager CI Sheng was afraid that the news would leak and damage her reputation, so she sent a eunuch to harm Zen master Daguan. This matter was recorded by another eminent monk..."

Boss Cheng glanced at Yang Haifeng and was worried that Yang Haifeng would act like empress dowager Cisheng. He couldn't buy it at a low price and came to steal. Later, he sent someone to murder himself. Yang Haifeng of the Yang family can do such a thing!

Lu Chong asked suspiciously, "how could the Empress Dowager do that? Is this historical material true or false?"

Boss Cheng sighed deeply: "Let me be more specific. Shijing mountain and Yunju temple are located in Nanshangle Township, Fangshan County, south of the capital city. It is famous for its collection of more than 10000 stone scriptures with a history of more than 1000 years. Thirty years ago, when cleaning the ground of Leiyin cave in Shijing mountain, the staff of Yunju Temple custody excavated a square stone from the original ground, containing stone letters, silver letters, jade letters and so on Inside the No. 5 white jade letter, there are two "Red Buddha relics the size of millet, accompanied by two pearls".

Let's take a look at the history. The full name of Yunju Temple used to be "Yunju Zen forest in the western regions". From the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were hundreds of monks in the temple. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the monk jingwan, who presided over the temple, began to carve stone scriptures to prevent the destruction of scriptures, which were handed down from generation to generation by the monks of the temple.

At that time, a monk from Tianzhu came to Dongtu and dedicated part of the Buddhist relics to Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty.

Jing Wan and Zhi Kai, who was taught by Yang Jian's son Yang guangzun of the Sui Dynasty, went to the same school. After learning that Jing Wan engraved the Sutra, Yang Di gave a relic as a reward.

At that time, the world was chaotic and wars were frequent. Jing Wan was deeply afraid that once the temple was destroyed and the relic was robbed, she placed the relic in the hidden Leiyin cave. When she placed the relic, Jing Wan personally wrote 36 words: "in the 12th year of the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, she was second to Jiazi, and on the 8th of April, she placed three pieces of Buddha relic in this letter, hoping to last forever."

Before the Buddha relic was excavated, the cultural relics workers, while looking through the historical materials, accidentally found that there was a relic record of Leiyin cave in Zhuozhou ancient Shijing mountain in the collection of master Han Shan's sleepwalking It is recorded in the text that three Buddhist relics were found in Leiyin temple in the 20th year of Wanli. Empress dowager CI Sheng welcomed the relics into the palace for three days, and then placed them in their original place. With this clue, please refer to the scenery of the imperial capital written by Liu Dong and Yu Yizheng , there is a similar record: "in Wanli Renchen, the Taoist monk saw the decline of the statue, the erosion of the stone tablets, the pain of the attached building, and led the monk to wipe out. It was night, the Tathagata wind and thunder illuminated the rock gully. The next day he opened the cave, worshipped the Sutra stone, there was a hole under the stone, hid a stone letter one foot, and engraved on it:" twelve years of the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, the second son of the third year... Place three Buddhist relics, and wish the abbot to be robbed forever ". It was a sight and a fragrance In the letter, the stone, silver and gold letters were covered, and the small gold bottle was obtained. The relic now exists. It looks like millet and is purple red. The master sobbed and praised the Empress Dowager and welcomed her into the offering. The letter bottle is made of jade, and a letter from the outside is sent to settle the old place... "

According to historical records, it is true. Empress dowager CI Sheng exchanged two pearls for Buddhist tooth relics. "

Boss Cheng has done a lot of homework before this, and these historical materials are back to back.

Yang Haifeng nodded frequently. It seemed that he believed what boss Cheng said more.

Lu Chong looked at Yang Haifeng's frequent nodding and smiled in his heart. He was really a complete fool.

Even if Yang Haifeng doesn't have Qi watching skill and perspective eye, you should keep an eye. Now there is a Buddha Tooth Relic in the capital. How can there be another one!

In fact, the capital already has one, which is located in Badachu of Jingshan!

There are only two Buddha Tooth Relic handed down to the world, one of which is collected in Badachu Buddha Tooth Relic tower in Xishan Mountain.

Speaking of this tooth relic, it is not easy for it to come to Badachu. It can be said that it has experienced difficulties and dangers.

More than 1600 years ago, one tooth of the Buddha Sakyamuni spread to Ceylon and the other from the state of Wuchang to Khotan. In the middle of the fifth century, the eminent monk Faxian of the Southern Dynasty traveled west to Khotan and brought the Tooth Relic back to Jiankang, the capital at that time, which was later Jinling. The eminent monk Faxian secretly hid the tooth and offered it for worship by himself for 15 years. Later, he was the second emperor of Qi Wu A son, King jingling, found that he offered Lingya to Dinglin temple and sent someone to guard it.

Later, one night in the first month of 522, someone suddenly came to the door with a stick, saying that the slaves under Xiao Hong, brother of emperor Liang Wu, rebelled and ran to the pavilion. They asked people to open the door for inspection. The guard had no choice but to open the pavilion door. The leader went to the Lingya seat, took out the Lingya, worshipped three times, wrapped it in silk and ran away with it. From then on, the whereabouts of the tooth was unknown.

One day in October of the first year of Yongding (557), after Chen Gaozu and Chen Baxian ascended the throne, he ordered to set up an open meeting in the next four parts of Du Mu's house. Gaozu came out of the palace to worship in person, and the tooth appeared here again.

During the Five Dynasties period, when the Central Plains was in turmoil, the tooth was transferred to Nanjing, the capital of the Liao Dynasty, which was later the capital. In 1071, Zheng, the first mother of the great Liao king Yelv Ren, Mrs. Yan Guotai, placed the tooth in the Zhaoxian tower, which was later the Badachu Park in western Beijing. The Zhaoxian tower is an octagonal and ten level brick tower. Because the brick on the tower is engraved with Buddha statues or patterns, it is also known as the Buddha tower "Portrait thousand pagodas".

In 1900, the Allied forces of the eight powers invaded and burned and looted wantonly. On the pretext that the boxers set up an altar to worship in Lingguang temple, they bombarded it with artillery fire. The Zhaoxian tower was destroyed, leaving only the tower base.

In 1957, the government funded the construction of the relic tower. In terms of form, the relic tower refers to the immortal tower, which is built in the form of modern reinforced concrete structure, octagonal 13 storey dense eaves and bowl shaped Lama tower, with a tall xumizuo at the lower part. The inside of the tower is divided into seven halls. The bottom floor is a dark room. The surrounding walls are inlaid with stone inscriptions and scriptures. There are stone ladders outside to reach the Buddha Tooth Relic Hall. The Tooth Relic of the Buddha is enshrined in the seven treasures Pagoda in the hall, with a gilded incense burner and a Baolian lamp in front. It is solemn and dignified. The above six floors provide Buddhist scriptures and magic objects of Han, Tibetan, Mongolian and Dai nationalities respectively. On the day of the completion of the relic tower, the Chinese Buddhist Association held a Buddha Tooth Relic opening ceremony here. Buddhist delegations from more than a dozen countries such as Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Fusang and Laos were invited to participate in the ceremony.

Yang Haifeng doesn't think about it. Since Badachu is true, it's very likely to be false.

Lu Chongcai was too lazy to remind the man. After he saw the mystery of the pagoda, he asked, "it seems that the pagoda was built by Empress Dowager CI Sheng to support that tooth?"
