Happy Tycoon

After putting the Buddha statue into the storage space, Yang Jing began to sweep the tomb.

Within a few minutes, Yang Jing put away all these gilt and bronze Buddha statues, which are priceless treasures in future generations. It is worth mentioning that among the 108 Buddha statues, the 18 Buddha statues with different shapes in the middle are even heavier after buying.

Although these eighteen Buddha statues are the smallest in size, they are the heaviest. There is no doubt that these eighteen Buddha statues are not gilded, but Buddha statues made of pure gold.

Although pure gold Buddha statues are rare in Chinese history, especially the older they are, the more rare they are, but this is the only mausoleum built by an empress in China since ancient times, and these Buddha statues were arranged by Wu Zetian for herself The funerary objects, with the richness of the Wu Zhou era, not to mention the eighteen pure gold Buddha statues here, even if these one hundred and eight Buddha statues are all made of pure gold, Yang Jing would not find it rare.

These 18 Buddha statues are all statues of Buddha. Some are smiling while holding flowers, and some are meditating with closed eyes. Anyway, the shapes are different. At first glance, it looks like the bald-headed brother Guo Jing is hitting the eighteen palms of the dragon.

After sweeping this tomb, Yang Jing did the same thing and opened the other sealed tomb.

This tomb shocked Yang Jing even more, because when Yang Jing figured out what the funerary objects in this tomb were, he immediately realized that the value of the funerary objects in this tomb was far greater. Far more than those gilt bronze Buddha statues.

Because in this tomb, all the Buddhist scriptures were translated and hand-copied!

At the beginning, Yang Jing didn't know what was contained in the many light yellow brocade boxes placed on several huge stone tables. Those brocade boxes had faded a lot due to time, so they must have just been put in Here, it's all bright yellow. But after nearly 1,500 years, even though the tomb was airtight, the color of these bright yellow brocade boxes has dimmed a lot.

Opening one of the brocade boxes, Yang Jing realized that all the hundreds of brocade boxes were filled with hand-copied Buddhist scriptures.

It's like the Buddhist scriptures in my hand, which turned out to be a hand-copied volume of the Maha Prajna Sutra!

Great Prajna Sutra is a classic of Buddhism. Its full name is Great Prajna Paramita Sutra, or Prajna Sutra for short. The Mahayana Prajna Sutra that was first introduced into China was the Prajna Dao Xing Pin Jing (later titled Tao Xing Prajna Sutra) translated by Zhu Foshuo and Zhi Lou Jiachen in the Eastern Han Dynasty (the latter title Tao Xing Prajna Sutra) in 10 volumes (equivalent to the fourth session of this Sutra), known as Short-Pin Prajna .

Since then, Wu Zhiqian, Zhu Shixing and others of the Three Kingdoms have re-translated this scripture, and Kumarajiva re-translated the Maha Prajna Paramita Sutra in the sixth year of Hongshi in the later Qin Dynasty. In 2000, he translated the Maha Prajna Paramita Sutra and Vajra Prajna Sutra.

These Buddhist predecessors have translated this scripture, but it is not complete. It was not until the early Tang Dynasty that Master Xuanzang, the prototype of the Tang monk in Journey to the West, went to Tianzhu to learn scriptures. Wan Song's three Sanskrit volumes were brought back to China, and he and his disciples expended a lot of energy to translate the scriptures by themselves.

Wu Zetian respected the Buddha, so many gilt and bronze Buddha statues appeared in the tomb just now, which is enough to prove this point. Now it is not surprising that there are so many Buddhist scriptures buried with him in this tomb.

But these Buddhist scriptures made Yang Jing feel elated. Because Yang Jing knew from the answer given by Shengjie that these Buddhist scriptures were not only extremely precious hand-copied Buddhist scriptures, but also that the people who copied the Buddhist scriptures were all masters of calligraphy in the early Tang and Wu Zhou eras.

For example, the set of Great Prajna Sutra in his hand was actually compiled and copied by Ouyang Xun, the head of the four masters in the early Tang Dynasty. If it weren't for Shengjie's impossibility to give a wrong answer, Yang Jing couldn't believe that the volume of Great Prajna Sutra in his hand turned out to be the authentic work of that master.

With such a complete Great Prajna Sutra and the fact that it is an authentic work by Ouyang Xun, the value of this Great Prajna Sutra will be greatly increased. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a priceless treasure.

This thing is not an inscription, nor is it a rubbing copy or a copy of a descendant. This is the authentic work of Ouyang Xun, and it is a complete set of Great Prajna Sutra!

It is said that a page of Song Shu is one or two gold, but if Song Shu is compared with Tang Shu, it is far worse.

Since Bi Sheng invented movable type printing, Song Shu and Ming Shu have been called ancient rare books, and the few remaining pages in Tang Dynasty are hand-copied. It is a broken page, and its value far exceeds that of Song Shu.

Not to mention that this Great Prajna Sutra is the authentic work of Ouyang Xun!

Now that old master Ouyang Xun's original works have appeared, can the other famous masters still go far?

Sure enough, Yang Jing selected one after another, and found other manuscripts of calligraphers from the early Tang Dynasty and even the Sui Dynasty, such as the authentic works of Chu Suiliang, the authentic works of Yu Shinan, and the authentic works of Xue Ji.

As for the authentic works of Liu Gongquan or Yan Zhenqing, Yang Jing didn't expect to find them here either. When Wu Zetian died, neither Liu Gongquan nor Yan Zhenqing was born

In addition to the authentic works of these masters, there are also authentic works of other lesser-known calligraphers in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Anyway, the value of these hand-copied Buddhist scriptures far exceeds those gilt-bronze Buddha statues just now, and they are definitely not inferior to those inscriptions left by Yuechengzi.

These Buddhist scriptures are well protected, after all, the tomb itself is airtight, and these Buddhist scriptures are placed in brocade boxes made of golden nanmu, which is known as immortal for thousands of years.

Not to mention these Buddhist scriptures, even the bright yellow silk wrapping the Buddhist scriptures in the brocade box has not faded much. This is enough to prove how well these Buddhist scriptures are protected.

This time it is definitely a big fortune!

First, those extremely precious inscriptions, and later those priceless gilt-bronze Buddha statues of the Tang Dynasty were discovered, and now these inestimable manuscripts of Buddhist scriptures were discovered. It's about getting rich.

No wonder such things as tomb robbery have been banned repeatedly throughout the ages, and it is the same all over the world. In fact, this kind of thing can really make a lot of money.

It is said that horses are not fat without grass at night, and people are not rich without windfalls. Even Cao Cao even set up Mojin Xiaowei to raise military pay, which is enough to prove that such wicked things as tomb robbery can really make people rich overnight. of.

Hehe, buddy, is it considered tomb robbery now? Yang Jing began to become a little entangled.

But after struggling with it for a while, Yang Jing simply put the problem behind him and continued to explore the only remaining tomb on this floor.

PS: Bow down and thank you for the 1000 tip from The first kiss was given to my hand.

In two days, the affairs here will be completely dealt with, and I can go back. I have been so busy these days that I really don't have time to code. These chapters were all coded until one or two o'clock in the evening. After Lao Mo returns home, the previous update volume will be restored. Please forgive me.
