1. Qingnizhu
Wu Zetian During the reign of Wu Zetian, the Fan Kingdom in the northwest presented the mandible bones of King Via Boyi and the tongue of the Pratyekabud, along with a greennizhu, to Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian knew that the first two were treasures of Buddhism, so he hung his jaw bone and Buddha's tongue in front of the city tower to show it to the people. As for the green mud bead, I saw it about the size of a thumb, slightly blue, but I didn't know what was precious, so Wu Zetian gave it to the monk of Ximingsi .
Ximing Temple monks did not think that this Qingmu bead was unique, but because it was rewarded by Wu Zetian, they should serve it solemnly and place it on the forehead of Jinze statue. In order to promote Buddhism, Ximing Temple often invites to to to preach the Dharma. Many believers come to listen to it every time. More than 0 years later, on this day, a Hu man came to Ximing Temple and a monk happened to preach. The Hu Ren saw the green mud beads in front of King Kong's forehead at a glance, staring at the beads for a long time, but his eyes never moved away. In the next ten days, this Hu man came to Ximing Temple every day. In name, he came to listen to the monk preaching, but he only stared at Qingnizhu, and his mind was not at all about listening to the monk preaching.
The monk in the temple had long noticed the abnormal behavior of the Hu people and asked, "Do you want to buy this bead?" The Hu people immediately replied, "If you are willing to sell, I will definitely pay a high price." Seeing that he really wanted to buy, the monk asked him how much money he was willing to pay. When he saw that the Hu people first offered 1,000 guan, he saw that the monk shook his head, and then offered 10,000 guan, and finally reached 10,000 guan. The monk was finally moved and sold the beads to the Hu people.
After the Hu people got the beads, they felt like they had a treasure. They pulled the flesh of their calf and put the beads in, and they had to go back to the west of Fanguo overnight. After hearing this, the monk suddenly felt that he had been fooled by the Hu people. He did not dare to hide it and quickly reported the matter to Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian immediately issued an edict to search for the Hu man. After a few days, he finally captured the Hu man.
Wu Zetian asked the Hu people: "Where is the bead?" The Hu people lied and said, "I swallowed the beads into my stomach." Wu Zetian deliberately scared him and wanted to cut open his stomach to find the beads. The Hu people were so scared that they told the truth and took out the beads from their legs. Wu Zetian looked at the inconspicuous bead and asked curiously: "What is the purpose of buying this bead at such a high price?"
The Hu people had to answer truthfully: "Our country has a place called Qingnipo, where there are many jewelry, but unfortunately they are buried in the deep mud and cannot be taken out. If this green mud bead is put into Qingnipo, the mud will all turn into water, and the treasures inside will be easily obtained."
Wu Zetian then regarded the green mud as a national treasure and treasured it well. By the time when Emperor Xuanzong of Tang ascended the throne, someone had seen the green mud bead, but later he did not know where to end.
2. Baoshan Sword
There is a farmer who dug out a sword underground when he was arable land. He cleaned the soil on it and took it to the market to sell some money.
A Hu man fell in love with this sword. At first, he bid 1,000 quotations, but later he gradually increased the price to hundreds of coins. The farmers saw that the Hu man wanted to buy it. He felt that the sword should be of great value, so he firmly disagreed with betrayal. Seeing that he refused to sell, the Hu people followed the farmers all the way to his house and asked him to give him a good look. The Hu people looked at the sword, and the more they looked, the more they were reluctant to let go. They began to increase the price and finally bid for one million yuan. The farmer has never seen so much money in his life, so he immediately agreed, but the Hu people did not bring so much money. The two agreed that the Hu people would bring money to take away the sword tomorrow.
After the Hu people left, the farmer and his wife watched with their swords. The two of them could not see what was strange about the sword. The farmer smiled and said, "Is this broken sword worth so much money?" There was a laundry stone in the yard. The farmer's wife beats on it every day. The farmer accidentally pointed the stone with the sword, and the stone was immediately divided into two. Only then did the two realize that this was a sword that broke the mountain and broke the stone.
The next day, the Hu people brought money to get the sword as promised. He took the sword and looked at it, shook his head and sighed, "The sword light of this sword has disappeared, how could this be the case?" He returned the sword to the farmers, not wanting to buy it again. The farmer asked what happened to the Hu people, and the Hu people said, "This is a mountain-breaking sword, which can only be used once. I plan to use it to split the treasure mountain and take out the jewelry inside. But now the sword energy is exhausted, and I think you must have touched something with the sword."
The farmer was very regretful when he heard this and told the Hu people the reason. In the end, the Hu people spent ten cents of money to buy the sword.
3. Diameter inch beads
There is an Persian businessman who came to Fufeng County, Shaanxi Province. When he stayed in the inn, he found a square stone outside the owner's door. He had been circling around the stone for several days, which made the owner of the inn inexplicable.
The owner of the inn couldn't help but ask the Persian merchant: "Why do you always look around this stone?" The Persian merchant said: "I have long wanted to make a stone to make a laundry stone, and this stone is just right." So the Persian merchant bid 2,000 yuan to buy the square stone. The owner of the inn thought that a stone could be sold for so much money, so of course he was happy to agree.
Persian merchant transported the stone away. In front of many people, he cut open the stone and took out an inch-sized bead from it. When he returned to his residence, he cut his armpit with a knife, hid the beads inside, and then hurried back to the country. The Persian merchants took a boat to the sea. After sailing for more than ten days, they suddenly encountered a storm and the ship was about to sink.
The boatman on the ship encountered this situation more than once. He knew that he had met the sea god and was asking for the treasure from the person on the ship, so he asked whoever brought the treasure on the ship. No one responded on the boat, and the Persian merchant didn't say anything, but the look on his face betrayed him. When the people on the boat saw that he refused to take out the treasure, they threatened him to throw it into the sea. The Persian merchant was scared, so he cut his armpit and took out the orb.
The boatman held the bead and chanted at the sea: "If you want to take the bead, we will send it." A big hand was stretched out from the sea, with a very wide and hairy palm. He left with the bead. The sea was calm and the boat was smooth all the way, and the boat sailed forward safely.
