Episode Tang Ruizong After Li Dan ascended the throne of the emperor, he built a famous temple in Chang'an City . He also specially gave the temple a precious pearl, which is said to be worth billions of yuan, and asked the abbot to collect it in the warehouse to keep it as a treasure for the temple.
Abbot happily accepted the emperor's gift, but looking at the pearl was nothing unusual, almost no different from an ordinary stone, because it was a gift from the emperor, so he had to put it in a cabinet and treat it like other property.

years later, Tang Xuanzong Ten years of Tianbao, Da'anguo Temple monks wanted to hold a grand ceremony to recite scriptures and worship Buddha. Because of insufficient funds, they opened the financial box in the temple to open it to see if there is anything valuable, which can temporarily relieve the urgent need. When opening the cabinet, they found that there was an exquisite small box with a yellowed seal on it, which said that this pearl was priceless. After seeing it, the monks all smiled happily, smiling from ear to ear, and couldn't wait to open the wooden box.
However, the things inside are disappointing. The so-called jewel is a small ordinary red stone. The only difference between it and an ordinary stone is that it can emit a faint light in the dark. However, this faint light can be called a jewel, which can make so much money. The monks shook their bare heads and sighed repeatedly, not believing that this thing is valuable.
Suddenly I heard someone say, "Since the seal says it is a pearl, the emperor is a golden word and jade saying that it can be worth billions of dollars, so I might as well take it to the market to try it. It's obvious that everyone agreed with this proposal. They sent someone to take the beads to the market and entrust a jeweler to sell it to them, leaving a monk to sell it. The first day passed and the beads were no longer cared about.
On the second day, a rich man noticed this one, But when I heard about the price, my heart was almost scared. I picked it up and looked at it carefully and couldn't help but sneer. What kind of jewelry is nothing like an ordinary stone. If it is such a high price, I guess you monk is crazy about money!
Then more and more people were watching the show, and many people were around, and there were bursts of ridicule. The monk in charge of the salesperson was extremely embarrassed. He wanted to argue hard, but he didn't even dare to lift his head. Time flew for another ten days, and people kept watching this "jewel". When they personally verified that although the bead was ordinary, it could shine at night, some people were willing to pay a few thousand yuan to buy it.
After a while, the news slowly spread. More and more people came to see the beads, and the bid naturally increased. On that day, a foreigner came to the market. He looked around outside the store. He looked at him and looked like a good person. The monk stepped forward to ask what you were doing? The foreigner smiled awkwardly. I saw that the beads inside were good and seemed to be treasures. I wanted to go and see them. When he saw the beads in Da'anguo Temple, he stood stupidly, with his eyes hooked up. Then he danced and looked like he was possessed. Then he held the beads with both hands. He carefully pressed his head on his head, and said some language he couldn't understand. The translator asked the jeweler about the price of the beads.

The monk in charge of the salesman was very happy when he saw the person who knew the treasure. Our beads were worth 100 million yuan. The translator quoted the price to foreigners. The foreigner couldn't help but frowned. He stroked the beads with both hands and couldn't let go for a long time before he was willing to leave reluctantly. The next morning, The foreigner came to the market again, and the translator said to the monk: "The foreign guest said that this pearl is indeed worth so much, but because he has been out for a long time, he can't afford so much money. Now he only has 40 million yuan left in his hand. He is very sincere in buying your bead. Can the master sell it to him cheaply?" When the monk heard this, someone was willing to pay 40 million yuan to buy this pearl, which is many times higher than the price paid by those rich people in China.
The monk in charge of the salesman took foreign friends to meet the abbot of the temple. When the abbot heard that the foreigner was willing to pay the price, he immediately smiled. Was this man stupid to spend so much money to buy a broken stone, so he agreed that the afternoon of the day, the foreigner sent 40 million yuan to the temple, and the abbot gave him the beads. Before leaving, the foreigner repeatedly apologized to the abbot through the translator, saying that he had not given the sufficient price and bought the beads at a low price. He felt very sorry.
The monks present were able to sell the beads for a good price, and they were all excited and complacent, thinking they had taken advantage of it, but they also found it strange why the foreigners valued this stone so much, so the monks asked curiously, "Which country did you come from, why do you value this stone so much? What is the special thing about this bead? "What use is it for you to buy this bead.
Through translation, foreign friends told the monks the truth about buying beads. It turned out that this bead was indeed an unusual thing. Its real name is Yongquan Pearl. It has a great purpose. When marching and fighting, as long as you dig two feet deep and put the beads into the pit, spring water will immediately surge out. The green clear and sweet can be used for thousands of people to drink. If you take out the beads, the water will no longer flow out.
With this pearl, you will have no worries about drinking without water when you march and fight. Foreigners come from the Great Food Kingdom. In the early years of Zhenguan, the Great Food Kingdom had a good relationship with the Great Food Empire . The King of the Great Food Kingdom gave the pearl to the Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin. Later, several descendants of the Great Food Kingdom missed this pearl very much and wanted to get it, because such a pearl was too difficult to find in the world, so I informed who could find this pearl in the country and let anyone be the prime minister. The foreigner's family searched for almost seventy or eighty generations for several consecutive years, but there was still no news. I didn't expect that I was finally found today. I was really lucky.

After listening to the foreigners' statements, everyone felt incredible and wanted to see the magic of the beads, but some people were skeptical. The foreigners said it too unrealistic. Could it be that they were lying to us? A monk immediately brought a shovel and asked to witness whether what was said was true. The foreigners looked at the monks around and immediately understood their wish to see the magical effect of the beads. So let you see him let the monk dig two feet deep on the spot, and then put the beads into the bottom of the pit.
Sure enough, water slowly poured out from the bottom of the pit in just a while, and the more it surged, it finally turned into a spring water. The color was clear and transparent. They all rushed to put their hands into the pit and picked up the water to drink it cool and delicious. The monks realized the true value of the pearl. This bead is really too precious. It is a priceless treasure. We only gave it to others for 40 million yuan. Then they realized that they were deceived. This is the treasure left to us by our ancestors. How can we sell this national treasure at will? We can't sell it, and we won't sell it. After discussion, the monks unanimously decided not to sell the Yongquan pearl.
But when they turned to look at the foreigner, they disappeared. The cunning foreigner had already escaped and disappeared. When they saw that there was no spring water in the pit, the pearl was not known whereabouts. The monks hurriedly walked out of the hospital and asked about the whereabouts of the foreigners. They were still one step slower, but in the end they failed to recover the pearl. The monks at Da'anguo Temple all regretted it because they were heartbroken. However, regret now is useless. Just like Yongquanzhu is in a foreign land, the Yongquanzhu has not been found yet. It is a great regret!
