Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 66 Dan Zeng Ouzhu?Ascetic!

Lin Ran looked at the lama. His expression was calm, as if he was not the one talking around.

This further confirmed Lin Ran's guess.

Monks should cultivate their minds and generally not show emotional fluctuations.

Lin Ran took the law book and asked, "Is it allowed for you to take out these things and sell them for money?"

He is not a believer, and he feels that people with faith will not sell items such as legal texts and magical instruments.

The lama looked at the Dharma book, clasped his hands and said, "This is the manuscript of Dudjom Rinpoche's "Mind Cultivation Notes". It has been comprehended and sold to people who are destined to pass on the Dharma. It is also one of the contents of our practice."

"That's it." Lin Ran nodded and looked at the other goods, including some magical weapons.

In Lin Ran's impression, the magical weapons of Lamaism were extremely terrifying.

For example, the Ajie drum is actually a drum made from the skin of a young girl who was sacrificed as a sacrifice.

There are also Tianling bowls and leg bone horns given to Emperor Qianlong by the King of Tibet, which are also made of human bones.

In the eyes of Tibetan Buddhists, the body is just a skin. The sky burial they advocate involves placing the body on a high mountain to be eaten by eagles after death.

But fortunately, the goods in front of me are all shells and agate products.

He originally thought that the lama would be difficult to deal with, but the lama in front of him was polite and polite.

There is also a photo on the stall that bears a resemblance to the lama.

Lin Ran couldn't help but find it interesting that he actually put his own photos up for sale.

Behind the photo, he also signed his name.

Lin Ran could understand the simple Tibetan language and read out: "Ouzhu."

Hearing this, the lama showed an unexpected look on his face.

"Master, is this your name?" Lin Ran asked with a smile.

The lama replied: "Exactly. Do you understand Tibetan?"

Lin Ran had learned some in his spare time, but he didn't understand their questions deeply.

"Well, Ouzhu means you can do whatever you want. It's such a good name."

"As you call me, my name is Tenzin Odup."

Unconsciously, Lama regarded Lin Ran as an intimate person with whom he could talk, and he started to talk more.

"The man in the photo is your master? Why didn't you see him?"

"Exactly." There was a trace of sadness in his eyes, "My master and I traveled to Beijing, but the master unfortunately passed away."

"He told me that I had to sell everything in my hand to someone destined to be in the capital before I could go back, but..."

At this point, he sighed.

"I have been running a stall in Beijing for 11 years and have only sold five pieces so far."

11? !

It's like Panjiayuan just changed his name and he set up a stall here.

"You haven't sold anything in 11 years. What do you do for a living?"

"Occasionally, the local Buddhist association will provide some subsidies from time to time," Tenzin Odup replied.

There was no trace of lying in his sincere eyes.

Now, in addition to wearing lama's clothes, his behavior has become Beijing-style, and his speech even has a Beijing flavor.

In order to fulfill his master's last wish, he stayed alone in a foreign land for 11 years.

Such "obtuse" makes people awe-inspiring!

"Don't you miss home?"

"The body is just cultivation, and eventually our souls will return to heaven." He clasped his hands together.

After hearing his story, Lin Ran looked at the goods on the stall again.

To be fair, he still wanted to help the person in front of him realize his wish.

The premise is that what he sells is genuine.

In addition to the magical instruments, there are also some Tibetan playthings.

He picked up a piece of armor.

The old man who reminded him before also squatted next to him and whispered: "Little brother, don't be deceived by the person in front of you. He has been setting up a stall for many years, and this is what he does every time he comes."

"Well, what's the problem?" Lin Ran didn't care.

"Look at the broken piece of iron in your hand, it can actually be used as an accessory."

"This is a piece of armor. Tibetans believe that this is the armor of the God of War. It is made of 'Heavenly Iron' and is used for protection and safety. It is similar to our amulets."

Lin Ran played with the piece of armor in his hand. This thing should be genuine, but there are very few collectors in the Central Plains.

The old man was a little speechless. He reminded him kindly, but he was treated like a dog by others.

He pointed to the wooden ornaments on the stall and said, "Look at him, he is selling these too."

"These are two cakes, uncle." Lin Ran smiled.

Erbing, another name for purse buckle, was popular in the late Qing Dynasty.

At that time, if people wanted to wear a purse, they had to hang it on their body with a purse buckle. This thing was also a symbol of status. The princes and nobles would use ivory and jade to make purse buckles.

It originated from Tibetan areas because Tibetan Buddhism was flourishing in the palace at that time.

Lin Ran explained everything in detail.

The purse buckle in your hand is made of top-grade agate, which feels extremely cool to the touch, but the patina is very new and is obviously dyed from ordinary jade.

"If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer the consequences." The old man shook his head, stood up and stopped talking to Lin Ran.

Being a teacher is what Lin Ran dislikes the most.

It is normal for most people not to understand Tibetan Buddhist jewelry.

Due to the Qing court's belief in Tibetan Buddhism, nobles often had various Tibetan ornaments in their homes, which actually had collection value.

The most well-known among them is Dzi beads.

Dzi beads are the most unique product in Tibetan areas, and Yang Jianlong has an eight-eyed Dzi bead.

Unfortunately, according to Tibetan Buddhism, once the dzi bead is recognized as its owner, it will become ineffective if anyone else wears it, let alone if it was pulled from someone else's corpse.

Every time he looked at a piece of goods, Lin Ran recalled the corresponding information carefully and compared it with the goods in his hand.

Tibetan Buddhism takes life and death very lightly. Therefore, their valuable cultural relics are often closely related to death, but are considered by mainlanders to be ominous symbols.

In this era, there are many people who are interested in Tibetan Buddhist treasures.

The conversation just now was heard by Tenzin Ouzhu, and he showed a smile.

Seeing that Lin Ran was still professional, passers-by were impressed, and no one made any rude remarks.

The old man who had just reminded Lin Ran to pay attention to fakes stood aside and watched the excitement, wanting to see his expression of crying after being deceived.

I have looked at all the products. The magical instruments are fakes and replicas. The jewelry has low collection value and lacks market.

There really isn't anything worth buying.

He was about to stand up and say goodbye to Tenzin Odup when he saw a small wooden box placed in front of the lotus futon where he had glimpsed him meditating.

In the small wooden box, there was a small stone with an irregular shape.

Lin Ran recognized it as a Dzi bead at a glance.

Monks from Tibetan areas may have genuine Dzi beads!
