Chapter 318: Buddha's Light
Bu Jingshou's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Big, big...... Teacher, do you want to lift a bigger stone with one person?"
Xuyun bowed his head and said, "Monk can give it a try!"
There was a commotion in the audience, and some people whispered.
"No, this monk is skinny, what strength can he have?"
"Ragged and shaped like a beggar, how could such a man lift a boulder?"
"Shut up, you! Shaped like a beggar, it has anything to do with lifting stones?"
"You know the ball! The monks are all dressed in tatters, which is called a hundred clothes, also called merit clothes. Those who are well-dressed are wine and meat monks, and liar monks ......"
"Roll ......"
In order to plug the gap, the dam has long been filled with rocks near the gap.
Bu Jingshou glanced at the pile of stones, pointed to a large black stone, and said, "In this case, how about asking the master to try this stone first?"
The stone that Bu Jingshou pointed to was much larger than the one he had just thrown into the river.
Xuyun nodded, came to the big stone, looked at it slightly, then stood at the end of the stone, took a deep breath, half-squatted and lifted it hard, and the stone rose in response.
"Wow, it's really a high monk! ”
"What's the use of lifting, just carry it. ”
“......”
Seeing this, Bu Jingshou's eyes suddenly flashed with joy.
Lei Shaoxuan looked at it, and saw that the muscles on Xuyun's face were tense, the green tendons on his hands were exposed, and his feet were firmly nailed to the ground like iron pillars.
"Slow!" Lei Shaoxuan looked at the void cloud and said in a deep voice, "Can you still lift a bigger stone?"
Xuyun threw down the stone, his eyes flashed, and he said confidently: "Yes!"
Hearing this, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
Lei Shaoxuan looked at Bu Jingshou and said, "Choose another bigger stone." ”
Bu Jingshou said excitedly: "Over there, that stone is bigger than this one. ”
Next to the pile of stones, there lies a slightly round boulder, the surface of which is covered with mud. Apparently, the stone was quarried from the quarry and moved by the sergeant with a crowbar, which covered the surface with mud.
This stone is nearly 20% larger than the one that was put into the gap just now.
Xuyun circled along the stone, stood still at one end of the stone, lifted the monk's robe, tied it tightly in a knot around his waist, rolled up his sleeves, stepped down from his horse, held the stone with both hands, took a few deep breaths, and suddenly forced, and the stone was slowly lifted.
"This monk, it can't be made of steel, right? Such a heavy stone can be lifted!"
"Ignorance! Buddhist monks all practice martial arts, don't look at the monks, their bodies are comparable to steel and iron bones. I have seen a monk who was stabbed in the throat by a gun, and crossed the river without sinking on a reed branch with one hand holding a giant tripod without sinking......."
"Get out, why don't you say that there is still a monk with a big stone broken on his chest......"
"Great! In this way, it is possible to fill the gap. ”
“......”
There was an uproar in the field, and after the exclamation, the sergeants enthusiastic.
Xuyun's face was red, his temples protruded, his arms were bruised, his teeth were clenched, and he was panting slightly.
Seeing this, Lei Shaoxuan asked anxiously with hope, "Master, can you still carry a bigger stone?"
Hearing this, Xuyun put down the stone, breathed a sigh of relief, and for a moment, his eyes were firm and said, "Yes!"
Everyone's puzzled eyes looked at him one after another.
Bu Jingshou hurriedly walked over and asked, "General, why do you have to try to move a bigger stone?"
Lei Shaoxuan glanced at Bu Jingshou and said to Xuyun: "Such a boulder, Master Xuyun can lift it once or twice at most, if you don't try to lift heavier stones the first time you have the most physical strength, then the second time, you can only lift lighter stones, and you lose the original intention of trying to lift them." ”
The original intention of trying to cite stones is to find stones that can withstand the impact of the current, and lighter stones will be washed away when they enter the water. It was hard to throw a stone, but it was in vain and meaningless.
Xuyun already understood what Lei Shaoxuan meant. Physical strength is limited, and every attempt must be cherished, otherwise the physical strength will be exhausted, which will not only delay the attempt, but also the danger of broken bones and tendons if it cannot be supported.
For Xuyun, it doesn't matter if you lift a stone of ten catties and a hundred catties, it doesn't matter if you lift a boulder a thousand times or a hundred times, and if you lift a boulder once, you may exhaust your physical strength.
Now the purpose of throwing rocks is not to build a dam, but to find out the situation.
Actually, there is one thing that Lei Shaoxuan did not say explicitly. In his divine thoughts, Lei Shaoxuan clearly saw the big stone thrown by the twelve, which was easily washed away by the torrent. Lei Shaoxuan didn't think that the big rock in front of him could block the rapids, at most the speed of being swept away by the torrent would be slower.
Knowing that the boulder in front of him was useless, Lei Shaoxuan naturally didn't let Xuyun do useless work.
Xuyun apologized to Bu Jingshou and said: "Donor, such a boulder, the monk can lift the stone three or twice at most, and then lift the stone again, and he needs to rest for a few days." So, bothering the donor to find a bigger stone. ”
Bu Jingshou shook his head and said with some discouragement: "This stone is the largest piece that can be carried here, and if it is larger, it will take several days to make special tools to carry it." ”
Lei Shaoxuan nodded, and said to Xuyun: "Monk Xuyun, the mountainside not far ahead is full of boulders, and it is only a hundred steps away, let's go and choose one." ”
The dam is between two mountains, and the gap in the dam is not far from the mountainside on this side, and the slopes are full of stones, and the stones are close at hand.
Looking at a deep footprint beside the stone, Lei Shaoxuan's heart moved, and he ordered: "Master Bu, quickly dig a pit above the dam and fill in the stones, and pave a simple stone road with stone strips." ”
Bu Jing Shou comprehended the mind.
Hundreds of sergeants moved quickly, digging pits and paving stone roads. This is just a stone road one person wide, Bahu Lake has been wind and rain for days, the surface of the dam is soft soil, the pit is easy to dig, the stones are originally available, and the stone road is quickly paved and tamped.
After a while, a straight stone path appeared on the dam.
"You say, is Master Xuyun the reincarnation of an Arhat? Such a big stone is still too light, and you have to find a bigger stone, is this something that mortals can do?"
"Nonsense, who in the world can be reincarnated? I guess that Master Xuyun is probably born with divine power. ”
"I heard that there are monks in the world, and Arhats can naturally be reincarnated. Didn't the monks in the temple advise us to do more good deeds in order to have good retribution in the next life? It can be seen that Buddhism has an afterlife and can be reincarnated, Amitabha!"
“......”
The other side of the gap was full of people, staring this way. On the side of the dam, the sergeants spontaneously stood on both sides of the dam to make way for the stone road in the middle.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Monk Xuyun, and their faces were solemn.
At this moment, it was as if the wind had been frozen, and there was silence on the dam.
"That's it. Xuyun pointed to a piece of blue and black stone.
The stone lay horizontally in the grass, five or six feet long and about three or four feet wide, and its mottled surface was covered with moss, making it look vicissitudes and heavy, as if it had been immovable since its birth.
Xuyun stood still in a circle with the stone, stomped his feet, stomped the soil under his feet, retreated, squatted slightly, pressed his hands against the end of the boulder, took a few deep breaths, and suddenly roared.
"Up!"
Xuyun's eyes widened angrily, the blue tendons on his forehead were exposed, and his face was flushed red like blood.
The boulder was slowly lifted up.
Little by little, the boulder was carried by Xuyun's hands, and gradually rose to the height of a person's shoulders, and the four sergeants saw this, quickly moved forward, inserted two huge wooden stakes, and firmly supported the boulder.
Xuyun slowly put down the stone, turned around and squatted under the boulder, hugged the boulder with both hands, and slowly got up with force. In a moment, the big stone was loosened and was carried by the void cloud.
There was an uproar in the audience, and a warm atmosphere filled the audience.
"Wow! It's really the reincarnation of an Arhat, and he can carry a boulder of 10,000 catties ......"
"I really have a lot of knowledge, and the heroes recorded in the history books pulled out the mountains and carried the Dingding, but it is really not a legend. ”
"The power can pull out the mountain, and tens of thousands of people hope that whether the dam can be built depends on the monk. ”
“......”
Lei Shaoxuan looked at Xuyun nervously.
At this moment, the green muscles and blood vessels on Xuyun's face and arms burst out, and his whole body was red like blood, and the red light on the surface flashed slightly, as if his body was burning. This is a scene that only appears when the physical strength of Buddhism has been used to the extreme.
Xuyun carried the boulder on his back, moving step by step. With each step, the stones laid on the stone path sank, as if they were driving piles.
The boulder on his back was like a mountain and half heavy. At a glance, Xuyun saw that the hundred-step stone road was so short, but he felt that it was extremely long, and every step was extremely difficult to walk, and he didn't know if he could finish this road.
If you stop halfway, you will be crushed by the boulder, no one here has the ability to save yourself, this road is destined to go down by yourself.
There was not a trace of worry or fear in Xuyun's heart!
Back then, Xuyun inadvertently accepted the merit jade flower presented by Lei Shaoxuan, and also took over Lei Shaoxuan's cause and effect, under the guidance of the senior monk Ananda, he has traveled the world over the years, and Xuyun has long been accustomed to all kinds of great suffering and terror in the world, and he has no fear in his heart.
Lei Shaoxuan has killed a lot, Xuyun wants to atone for his sins, death is not terrible, it is terrible to go to hell, if he can die on the road to build a dam, it is for great merit, what is so terrible?
Xuyun was only worried that it would delay Lei Shaoxuan's dam construction.
Xuyun's expression calmed down, the vicissitudes of life were angular, like a knife and axe, under the two horizontal eyebrows were the towering nose bridge and deeply sunken eye sockets, and the deep pupils shot a resolute and unyielding gaze, as if it was indifferent to the suffering of the world, and there was a kind of Cangsang who saw through the world.
Lei Shaoxuan had a clear understanding in his heart, and in an instant, he seemed to see that what Xuyun was carrying was not a big stone but fate.
The pace of the void cloud is getting slower and slower, and every step it takes is extremely difficult.
All the people held their breath, they could already see that the void cloud was almost exhausted, and now the void cloud was barely moving forward along the heavy inertia of the stone, as long as it stopped, the void cloud would no longer be able to move forward, and even be crushed by the boulder.
The gap is getting closer and closer, but Xuyun's legs are already trembling slightly, and the boulder is still on his back, but it has begun to shake, and it is obvious that Xuyun has slowly become unable to control the inertial swing when he carries the boulder.
The gap is already in sight, and there are only a few steps left, five, four, three...... Suddenly, the void cloud staggered, and the boulder shook suddenly.
"Ahh
At this moment, all of them joined together in prayer and chanted, "Amitabha!"
The sound is so neat that it can be heard through the sky.
This voice was like a Sanskrit sound descending from the sky, and everyone's hearts suddenly shook, and with this sound, a mysterious power suddenly blessed the void cloud out of thin air.
Xuyun suddenly felt his whole body tighten, as if an inexplicable force enveloped him, and this power penetrated his whole body, leaving weakness and pain empty.
In an instant, a white light shone from Xuyun's body.
Lei Shaoxuan's heart sank: This is the power of believers, Buddha light!
Lei Shaoxuan's disappointed and cold heart was rekindled, and his heart was moved, and he couldn't help but say: "Amitabha!"
