Chapter 551: Buddhist scriptures manuscripts

After putting the statue of Buddha into the storage space, Yang Jing began to clean up the tomb.

Within a few minutes of work, all these gilt bronze Buddha statues, which were regarded as priceless treasures in every future generation, were all collected by Yang Jing. It is worth mentioning that the eighteen Buddha statues with different images in the middle of the one hundred and eight Buddha statues turned out to be heavier.

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 are made of pure gold.

Although pure gold Buddha statues are rare in China’s history, especially the older the age, the rarer they are, but after all, this is the only mausoleum built by the queen of China for thousands of years, and these Buddha statues were arranged for him by Wu Zetian. The funerary goods, based on the wealth of the Wu Zhou era, let alone the appearance of eighteen pure gold Buddha statues, even if these one hundred and eight Buddha statues are made of pure gold, Yang Jing would not find it rare.

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

After cleaning up this tomb, Yang Jing followed suit and opened up another blocked tomb.

This tomb was even more shocking to Yang Jing, because when Yang Jing figured out what the burial objects in this tomb were, he immediately realized that the value of the burial objects in this tomb was definitely far from that point of view. Far more than those gilt bronze Buddha statues.

Because all the manuscripts placed in this tomb were translated handwritten Buddhist scriptures!

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

After opening one of the brocade boxes, Yang Jing realized that the hundreds of brocade boxes contained hand-copied Buddhist scriptures.

Just like this Buddhist scripture in my hand, it turned out to be a volume of a hand-copied "Great Prajna Sutra"!

The "Great Prajna Sutra" is a classic of Buddhism. The first Mahayana Prajna Sutra that was introduced to China was the "Prajna Dao Xingping Sutra" (the latter titled "Tao Xing Prajna Sutra") translated by Zhu Foshuo and Zhi Lou Jiazhen in the Eastern Han Dynasty in 10 volumes (equivalent to the fourth meeting of this sutra). ".

Since then, Wu Zhiqian, Zhu Shixing and others of the Three Kingdoms have retranslated this scripture one after another, and Kumarajiva retranslated the "Maha Prajna Paramita Sutra" in the sixth year of the latter Qin Hongshi. In 2005, he translated the "Maha Prajna Paramita Sutra" sketch eight thousand verses and "Vajra Prajna Sutra" and so on.

These Buddhist predecessors have all translated this scripture, but they are not complete. It was not until the beginning of the Tang Dynasty that Master Xuanzang, the prototype of the Tang monk in Journey to the West, went to Tianzhu to learn the scriptures. Wan Song’s three Sanskrit scriptures were brought back to China, and the apprentices spent a lot of energy to personally translate this scripture.

Wu Zetian respected the Buddha. The fact that so many gilt bronze Buddha statues appeared in that tomb just now is enough to prove this. Now that there are so many funerary Buddhist scriptures in this tomb, it is naturally not surprising.

However, these Buddhist scriptures made Yang Jing's heart in full bloom. Because of the answer given by Yang Jing through the holy ring, he knew 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 calligraphy masters in the early Tang and Wu Zhou eras.

For example, this set of "The Great Prajna Sutra" in his hand was actually compiled and copied by Ouyang Xun, the head of the fourth patriarch of the Tang Dynasty. If it weren't for the impossibility of the Holy Ring to give the wrong answer, Yang Jing couldn't believe that the volume of the "Great Prajna Sutra" in his hand was actually the real work of that person.

With such a complete "Great Prajna Sutra" plus the authentic work of Ouyang Xun, the value of this "Great Prajna Sutra" can be greatly improved. It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that it is a priceless treasure.

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

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

Since Bi Sheng invented movable type printing, Song Shu and Ming Shu have been called rare ancient books. The only remaining pages in the Tang Dynasty are manuscripts. In any respect, the books of the Tang Dynasty, even It is a broken page, and its value is far more than that of Song Shu.

Not to mention that this "Great Prajna Sutra" is still the original work of Ouyang Xun!

Now that all the original works of Mr. Ouyang Xun have appeared, can the other famous artists be far away?

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

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

In addition to the authentic works of these few people, there are other authentic works of calligraphers from the Sui and Tang Dynasties who are not well-known.

In any case, the value of these hand-copied Buddhist scriptures far exceeds the gilt bronze Buddha statues just now. uukanshu. Com is definitely not inferior to those inscriptions left by Yuechengzi.

These Buddhist scriptures are well protected. After all, the tomb itself is not airtight, and these Buddhist scriptures are all contained in brocade boxes made of golden nanmu, which is said to be "immortal for thousands of years".

Not to mention these Buddhist scriptures, even the bright yellow silks wrapped in the brocade boxes did not fade much. This is enough to prove how well protected these Buddhist scriptures are.

This time I definitely made a fortune!

First, the extremely precious stone inscriptions, and later the invaluable Tang Dynasty gilt bronze Buddha statues, and now these inestimable manuscripts of Buddhist scriptures. If this is not a fortune, it is estimated that there is nothing in this world. It's getting rich.

It's no wonder that this kind of tomb robbery has been repeatedly banned throughout the ages, and it has been the same all over the world. It is true that this kind of thing can really make a fortune.

It is said that "horses do not have night, grass is not fat, and people do not have windfalls and are not rich." Even Cao Cao even set up Mojin school lieutenant to raise military pay, which proves that tomb robbery can really make people rich overnight. of.

"Hehe, do you count as a tomb robber right now?" Yang Jing began to become a little entangled...

However, after struggling for a while, Yang Jing simply threw this question behind his head and continued to explore the only tomb room left on this floor.
