Chapter 491: The True Gift of the Six Ancestors (First Update)
It was night, before the Mahavira Temple, the lights and candles were bright, but the monks of the altars had been withdrawn, and most of the believers had left, this weather was just the time of high temperature, and they were a little tired when they sat in the open air for a day, and the water and land puja was going to be held for seven days, and it was not good to be tired and healthy.
Moreover, many monks also persuaded the believers to leave, but only the fanatical believers still did not want to leave, so they lay directly on a few futons to rest.
The breeze is clear, and it is strange to say that this summer night should have been a flying insect, but in the square of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, there was not a single flying insect, only a lot of moths, and they did not pounce on the candles everywhere, but around the Nine Lotus Lantern hanging high on the brake.
The merit banner was replaced with a Nine Lotus Lantern at nightfall, after all, this water and land puja is for all sentient beings, including yang people and yin souls.
On the altar, the six ancestors had been meditating for a day, and those believers who had left had all performed Buddhist rituals to the six ancestors before leaving, and the six ancestors also accepted it calmly.
Qin Yu looked at Xiao Jiu lying on the futon, the Sixth Ancestor sat quietly for a day, but Xiao Jiu slept for a day, and he was snoring, Qin Yu didn't know if Xiao Jiu did it on purpose, this snoring was extremely regular, and it happened that only the Sixth Ancestor and him could hear it.
Qin Yu even guessed that Xiao Jiu was deliberately using this way to take a small revenge on the Sixth Ancestor, with Xiao Jiu's character, this kind of thing was really possible.
When it was close to midnight, just when Qin Yu was also a little shaky, suddenly, a gust of wind came, which suddenly made Qin Yu feel excited and wake up.
At the same time, the Sixth Ancestor, whose eyes had been closed for nearly a day, also slowly opened his eyes at this moment, and together with Qin Yu, his gaze looked ahead.
In the eyes of Qin Yu and the Sixth Ancestor, directly in front of them, a red lantern slowly floated towards them, and when the lantern reached the bottom of the altar, it was less than three zhang below. Qin Yu saw clearly that the lantern was not floating, but was carried by a person in a black robe, but this person's whole body was in the black robe, blending with the night, and Qin Yu couldn't see it clearly for a while.
"When I heard that a water and land puja was held here, I came to listen to the master's lecture on Buddhism. ”
The black-robed man threw the lantern in his hand, and the lantern floated directly to the Nine Lotus Lantern, which was actually hanging under the Nine Lotus Lantern.
"Sit!" the Sixth Ancestor took a mouthful, and the black-robed man found a futon on the ground and sat down. And next to the black-robed man, there were a few believers resting, but these believers didn't seem to notice the appearance of the black-robed man, and none of them opened their eyes to take a look.
Not long after the black-robed man sat down, another red lantern floated in, this time there were many people, Qin Yu also heard a few children's jokes, as well as the scolding of adults, waiting for the lantern to walk in. Qin Yu saw clearly that this should be a few members of the family, and the family also bowed to the six ancestors on the high platform, and then threw the red lantern on the Nine Lotus Lantern. I found a few futons and sat down.
Until midnight, more and more red lanterns hung under the Nine Lotus Lanterns, and the empty futon seats below were almost full of people who came at night.
"If I smell ......"
The Six Patriarchs once again opened their mouths to preach the Dharma, preaching and reciting the Tao. Like daylight, only this time. The sixth ancestor was talking about the Dizang Bodhisattva Sutra, Qin Yu looked at the audience, and the people in the audience suddenly appeared in two states.
Those who rested were still resting, unaffected by the scriptures of the Six Patriarchs, while those who came at night listened to them with fascination, one by one, as if they were hearing fairy sounds, and their expressions were pious.
"This is the water and land puja, which helps the world during the day and surpasses the souls at night. ”
Qin Yu sighed in his heart, all the people who appeared at night these nights were ghosts, and they failed to go to the underworld to reincarnate for some reason.
All the yin spirits see the Nine Lotus Lamp, just like seeing a bright lamp in the dark, they will go in the direction where the Nine Lotus Lantern is located, so many monks or Taoist priests generally do not hang the Nine Lotus Lantern in the sky, but hang an old coat in front of the deceased, the reason is that because the Nine Lotus Lantern will attract all the Yin Spirits in the vicinity, and the Nine Lotus Lantern will only appear in large-scale transcendent puja meetings.
The six ancestors preached this time, and it didn't stop abruptly until the first bell rang in the temple. At this time, it is just the end of the ugly time, the end of the hour, and the sky begins to slowly transform from night to day.
The sound of the six ancestors chanting stopped, and many yin souls regained their senses, and they all got up and bowed deeply to the six ancestors, and said, "Thank you for the grace of the mage, we will go to the underworld to reincarnate." After these yin spirits finished speaking, they recalled the red lanterns on the Nine Lotus Lantern and prepared to leave.
"Why bother going to the underworld. The Sixth Ancestor slowly opened his mouth and shouted to all the Yin Spirits, all the Yin Souls were puzzled, and looked at the Six Ancestors, but the Six Ancestors looked at Qin Yu and said with a smile: "Xiaoyou, as an envoy of the underworld, has his own way to communicate between the Yin and Yang worlds, why don't you give you a ride." ”
The words of the Sixth Ancestor made Qin Yu stunned, and then there was a burst of ecstasy, Qin Yu finally understood what opportunity the Sixth Ancestor wanted to give him, it turned out to be here.
The duty of the underworld supervisor is to send the yin soul that stays in the yang world back to the underworld, but Qin Yu has not completed a duty since he became the underworld supervisor, this yin soul is still too small compared to the scope of the yang world, and Qin Yu did not go all out to find it, what he wanted was to go with the flow.
Looking at the thousands of yin souls in the audience, Qin Yu was excited, this great gift given to him by these six ancestors is indeed not small, Qin Yu still remembers the words of that yin cha, every time he sends a yin soul back to the underworld, he can get points, and when the points reach a certain level, he can exchange many things, even Yang Shou.
"Thank you, Sixth Ancestor. Qin Yu stood up and thanked the Sixth Ancestor, he was not hypocritical, he had no reason not to accept this gift.
After Qin Yu thanked the Sixth Ancestor, his eyes looked at the many Yin Spirits in the audience, his left hand slowly opened, and in the palm of his hand, a special mark shone brightly.
"In the name of the messenger of the underworld, I open the door of the underworld and send you back to the underworld, from now on, the dust will return to dust, and the earth will return to the earth, and I wish you to be reincarnated as soon as possible. ”
The supervision in Qin Yu's palm made the mark bloom with debut light, and then formed a six-pointed star array in the sky in front of him, this six-pointed star array appeared, and the aura of the entire square suddenly became gloomy and cold, and many of those who were resting, many of them curled up because of the cold, but no one woke up.
The six-pointed star array flashed for more than a minute, and a black spot began to appear in the center of the star array, and after the black spot became a little larger, I realized that it was originally a whirlpool, and the whirlpool was slowly expanding, and finally formed a rotating whirlpool like a black hole that was one zhang square.
"Gentlemen, please come in. ”
Qin Yu pointed at the whirlpool with his hands spread flatly, and those yin spirits saw the whirlpool appear, their faces showed joy, and they bowed to Qin Yu again, and began to line up in an orderly manner to walk towards the whirlpool, and finally disappeared into the depths of the whirlpool.
"The door to the underworld is closed!" After all the yin spirits entered the underworld, Qin Yu formed a handprint on his hands, and the vortex slowly became smaller again, and finally turned into a point again, disappearing into the six-pointed star array, and the six-pointed star array dispersed into several rays of light again, shooting back into Qin Yu's palm.
"Two thousand four hundred points. When these six rays were withdrawn, such a number suddenly appeared in Qin Yu's mind, Qin Yu was stunned for a moment, and then he was happy, and after he reacted, he understood that this was the point mentioned by the yin.
This time, he sent nearly two thousand yin souls into the underworld at once, and the points were more than two thousand, which showed that the points were not calculated according to the number of yin souls, Qin Yu calculated in his heart, it should be that each yin soul should be counted at least one point, but there may be some yin souls with more than one point, but what is the calculation formula, he has not yet completely deduced it.
However, Qin Yu knew that when this water and land festival was over, his points should be at least 10,000, and the water and land festival would be held for seven consecutive days, and the nearly two thousand yin souls just now were only the closest yin souls in the vicinity, and the more they went to the back, the more distant yin spirits would come.
Ten thousand points, Qin Yu was already a little impatient to summon that Yin Cha to ask for a detailed list of these points for huàn things.
"Let's go rest. The Sixth Ancestor saw the excitement on Qin Yu's face, held the lotus flower into the Law Seal, closed his eyes again, and finally said to Qin Yu.
"Then Xiao Ke will take his leave first. Qin Yu made a Buddhist salute towards the six ancestors, walked down the altar, and walked towards the Zen courtyard in the direction of residence, Xiao Jiu followed at Qin Yu's feet, and one man and one beast quickly disappeared into the depths of the night.
"A thousand-year-old layout, a thousand-year-old persistence, which is right and which is wrong?" The Sixth Ancestor looked in the direction where Qin Yu had disappeared, his eyes became deep, and a look of confusion appeared on his face for the first time.
......
After returning to the Zen Monastery last night, he originally wanted to summon Yin Cha, but when he thought that this was a Buddhist temple, he felt that it was better to forget it, and wait for the end of the water and land puja.
When Qin Yu was washing, the mobile phone in the room rang, and after Qin Yu wiped his face casually, he picked up the phone and saw that it was Meng Yao's father, his future father-in-law Meng Feng's phone.
"Uncle. Qin Yu answered the phone and spoke.
"Qin Yu, are you in Guangxiao Temple now?" Meng Feng asked directly at Qin Yu on the other end of the phone, listening to the tone, it seemed a little urgent.
"Well, I am attending the water and land puja in Guangxiao Temple, is there anything wrong?" Qin Yu wondered, could it be that his future father-in-law also paid attention to this puja?
"I heard them say that the one who preached yesterday was the true Buddha, and it was the six ancestors of Zen Buddhism who borrowed himself to preach, and you gave me an explanation, is this thing true?"
"Yes, yes. Qin Yu paused for a moment, but still said truthfully, the appearance of the Sixth Ancestor has been spread all over those senior monks in the temples in the country, and this news can be known as long as you have the heart to inquire.
However, what made Qin Yu a little curious was that his future father-in-law had so many official duties every day, how could he suddenly care about this matter?
"I see. After Meng Feng got the answer from Qin Yu's mouth, he hung up the phone directly, Qin Yu took the mobile phone, heard the beeping sound, and couldn't cry or laugh, just to ask him this, and hung up the phone in such a hurry, what kind of medicine did his future father-in-law sell in the gourd.
