Chapter 30 The Secret of the Iron Tower
In reality, sometimes it is often more exciting than a movie.
After Qin Xingping left, the next day was about to reach the date of agreement with the three buyers. I had previously guessed that once this thing was taken, it would definitely be seven digits. We scored a few points, and each person would have scored dozens of points should not be a big problem.
The turn of things happened the night before the transaction.
That day I took a shower and was about to go back to bed with the basin when I suddenly called my head to his room.
The curtains in the room were pulled, and the Ashoka Tower in Xixia was placed on the table, and the head was solemn.
I asked in confusion what was wrong with my head? What was wrong with the tower?
I pointed my head and let me see it.
After reading it, I said, "No problem, let's go, this is the Ashoka Tower we brought out that day."
He said with a serious expression: "Look, look carefully, if you can't see it, I have a magnifying glass here."
I pulled the chair and sat down, picked up the Ashoka Tower with both hands and looked over.
"No problem, I'll put my head on it, this is all, it's not repaired or cracked."

"etc"
I repeated the movement just now, picked up the tower with both hands and shook it gently.
Maybe the strength I had just shook was getting less, so I pressed my ears over and shook them up and down again.
It was late at night, and the surroundings were silent, and I could hear a little bit of noise. Just as I shook the tower up and down, I could hear it very clearly. In the fourth section, there was a sound of foreign objects, and the sound was very small.
I put down the tower and said in surprise: "There is something hidden in the tower in this fourth section!"
He nodded with a serious expression and said, "I ignored it before, but I can't figure it out. This iron tower was cast in one piece. Why did he only put things in the fourth section of the tower?"
"If this tower was cast by the Dangxiang believers seven hundred years ago, what important thing would they seal into the tower?"
"Put your head," I said suspiciously: "The Tibetan Buddha statues and the things made in the Ming and Qing Dynasties will be chopped and sealed after they are done. Some believers will hide their nails, hair or scriptures they carry with them, and then cover them with a file to flatten them. We should see this way, will the Ashoka Tower be the same?"
He shook his head slowly and said, "The Ashoka Pagoda is the supreme divine object of Buddha art. Although the one we have obtained is small, it is the same. Apart from the Golden Bottle Mark and the Nine-Eyed Dzi beads hidden in Potala, there are only the eight Thangkas left."
I know the meaning of the head. His meaning is that the Ashoka Tower is the supreme divine object. The nails and hairs hidden here cannot be the nails and hair of ordinary believers. It is likely to be a holy object as important as the Ashoka Tower.
So the question is, what are the holy objects that can reach this level?
Only a handful of them.
There is only one Jin Ping Zhiqian in the world. This bottle is made of sixteen kilograms of pure gold. The bottle is divided into three pieces, and each piece is carved with a knife to carve a theme picture.
The human world is engraved in the middle of the bottle, the hell world is engraved in the bottom of the bottle, and the upper part of the bottle is the Pure Land. The golden bottle is used to vote for sign-ups, and it is used to identify the identity of the reincarnated boy of the previous life. It is said that only the reincarnated boy of the living Buddha can throw bamboo sticks into the golden bottle. If it were someone else, he would not be able to throw it in no matter how close he was.
The Nine-Eyed Dzi bead is even more famous, and it is inlaid on the forehead of the Potala statue. This thing is the most awesome existence in the Dzi bead world. Dzi beads were used to be holy objects, but now they have become cultural relics. Those medicine celestial beads, tiger toothed beads, nine-shale celestial beads, silk-wrapped agate beads, etc. are all things that people have named now. They are not the same type of things as the real Buddhist sacred object Meng Dzi beads, they are all garbage.
The eight great tokenkas are also called the eight great gods, and the rankings are indefinitely. One is the Thangka of the Venerable Ganoyan, two, the Thangka of the Sakya Sect, three, the Thangka of the Begidor Laba Cave, four, the Thangka of the Seed Embroidered Rock, nine, the Thangka of the King of the Ming Dynasty, five, the Thangka of the Vajrasattva, six, the Vajra Sarva Black Card, seven, the Thangka of the Five Colored Thangka of the Life Buddha Brocade, eight, the Thangka of the Emperor of the Sekimo Fu Temple in Chengde.
In addition to these, if you want to be on par with Ashoka Tower, you may have to stand behind.
What is hidden in this tower we dug in Harrahhot?
Judging from the size of those things, the golden bottle will definitely not be stuffed in. The Nine-Eyed Dzi beads are possible. The Thangka must be a very small size, and it must be rolled up. Of course, there is also a kind of thing in the living creature that is qualified to be sealed in the Ashoka Tower.
That's it.
Relic.
And it must be the relics of the great monk.
This tower was built during the Western Xia period, and later Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties must have been ruled out.
It is also hard to say that it is a real relics of the Sakyamuni body. What I am talking about is the true relics of the Tathagata Buddha himself.
Don’t think of myths. Shakyamuni was a real person who had existed two thousand years ago.
The earliest prototype of Ashoka Pagoda appeared in the Mauryan Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms. Ashoka was the third king of the Mauryan Dynasty. He respected and believed in Buddhism in his later years.
It is said that hundreds of years after Sakyamuni's death, Ashoka of the Mauryan Dynasty collected 14,000 relics from Sakyamuni, including a skull, four teeth, and a middle finger finger bone. He cast a total of 14,000 iron towers (some say 84,000) to worship these relics.
Therefore, what are recorded in our historical books include Buddha's capsular bone relic, Buddha's hair relic, Buddha's finger bone relic, Buddha's teeth relic, and the last type of Buddha's shadow bone relic.
We didn't know at that time that the Buddha's capsular bone relic was unearthed many years later in 2010. The unearthed location was in Dabaoen Temple. There are documentaries to see. If you want to know what the Ashoka Pagoda looks, you can also see, because the Buddha's capsular bone was hidden in the Ashoka Pagoda at that time.
However, the Ashoka Tower is very big, more than one meter high, and my head and I are very small, only about thirty centimeters, which is considered a shrinking version.
I discussed with Chatou all night and guessed all the results I could think of. Finally, I guessed that in our tower, we might be one of the nine-eyed Dzi beads, Buddha relics, and small Thangkas.
If you want to sell it, it won’t be that much trouble, but you will only discover this at this time.
Selling, or not selling, has become a problem for me and my current head.
Some friends may say, "Are you stupid? You won't take out the things and sell the tower. It's stupid to sell double-parts, and you're just robbing tombs. I'm smarter than you."
Some people will definitely say this, and what we said is correct, but we couldn't do it at first. The Ashoka Pagoda in Dabaoen Temple was unearthed a few years later. How hard it would be to open the pagoda intact? Let's go and see it yourself. At that time, there were so many big men from the Military Research Institute. They drew more than three months of research drawings and finally opened them intact.
Ours is small, although not that complicated, but it is still difficult.
Selling is not sold first.
However, in order to open this thing and see what is inside, we are ruining our old nose.
We predict how we can completely open the Ashoka Tower without affecting sales.
