Chapter 372: The Buddha Opens His Eyes
Legend has it that in ancient times, the Longmen Grottoes were flooded, and there were often major floods that flooded the city and fields.
This year, the torrential rain in the upper reaches kept falling, and the water level rose again and again, and the experienced old people knew that they were afraid that there would be another flood, so they began to move to the mountains.
There was a family of children who were playing on the bank of the river when they heard a strange sound in the water, as if someone had been saying underwater, "Can't be opened...... Can't open ......"
The child didn't take it seriously, and after two days, there was a big flood upstream, and the people were very unhappy in the mountains watching their fields and cities about to be flooded.
Although they brought out everything they could, as soon as the flood had passed, the fields would be finished, and there would be no food to eat in the coming year, and there would be a famine.
Moreover, after the flood, there will be a plague rampant, and the medical technology at that time was not enough to control the plague at all, so it could only be filled by human life, that is, the area was relatively large, so that it would not be infected and die.
While everyone was grieving, the child heard the strange sound coming from the water, as if asking, "Can you open it......?" Can't open ......"
The child was very strange and told his parents, and when they heard this, they were ecstatic and told the child that if he heard the sound again, he would answer "yes."
After a while, the child heard the voice again, and this time he said "on" as his parents had taught.
Then I saw that the boiling river was divided, and the flood that came down from the upstream was divided into two roads, one way around the left side of the field city, and the other way around the right side, and there was no flood.
And where the river flows, the mountain wall that used to sink under the river is exposed, and a series of Buddha statues and grottoes in different postures appear, among which there is a Buddha statue, whose eyes are looking directly at the sky, and the river is divided into two with his eyes as the middle line.
After the flood passed, the common people found that the eyes of the Buddha statue were closed, and then they realized that the Buddha statue had saved their city.
Since then, those Buddha statues and grottoes have surfaced, which are now the Longmen Grottoes.
Of course, this is just a legend and cannot be true, but the story of the Buddha's opening of his eyes has been passed down in the neighborhood.
Huang Ji told Zhou Wen whether there was really a Buddha who opened his eyes to save the common people, he didn't know, but it was certain that after the storm in another dimension, whenever the river next to the Longmen Grottoes exceeded a certain limit, there would be a Buddha statue with closed eyes to open its eyes.
"What big chance?" Zhou Wen asked curiously.
Huang Ji shook his head and said: "I don't know, I heard that there have been several times when the Buddha opened his eyes in the Longmen Grottoes before, and every time someone was looked at by the Buddha statue, it seemed that there was a Buddha light descending on him, but after that, what benefits those people received, I don't know very well." It's just that I heard that there is a student with average qualifications, whose grades in the college are basically the bottom one, and he will definitely be among the top three in each unified examination, but it is the last one. He was lucky enough to meet a Buddha who opened his eyes and was looked at by the Buddha statue. Since then, he has been on the hook, his academic performance has been soaring, and he was promoted to legend within a few months, and I heard that he was promoted to epic level not long after graduation. ”
"Is there such a god?" Zhou Wen was a little unconvinced.
"I don't believe it either, but it's a legend out there, and I've heard people say it. Recently, there has been a lot of rain, and the water level of the river has not passed the legendary mark, and today may be the day when the Buddha opens his eyes. Huang Ji said.
Hearing Huang Ji say this, Zhou Wenzhi also felt that he should stay and take a look, even if the Buddha statue didn't look down on him, it would be good to be able to have a little more knowledge.
Zhou Wen sat down next to Huang Ji, waiting for the so-called Buddha to open his eyes and appear.
"Which is the legendary Buddha statue with closed eyes?" Zhou Wen saw that there were many Buddha statues around, but none of them were with closed eyes.
"That's it. Huang Ji pointed to it.
Fortunately, Zhou Wen's eyes are very good, otherwise he really can't see the Buddha statue, because the Buddha statue Huang Ji refers to is too inconspicuous.
The more important Buddha statues are all full-body sculptures, and that Buddha statue is just a relief, and it is only a foot high, carved on the stone wall, plus he is surrounded by a large Buddha statue several meters high, or even more than ten meters high, it is so inconspicuous there, if you don't pay attention to it, you will ignore it.
Zhou Wen looked carefully and found that the Buddha statue was indeed with its eyes closed, but after looking at it for a while, he didn't find anything magical about the stone statue.
"Lao Zhou, it turns out that you are here, you have made it easy for me to find it, I have been calling for so long, why have you not answered?" Li Xuan and Li Weiyang came over with a group of people, and they saw Zhou Wen from afar and ran over to complain.
Zhou Wen then remembered that when he came out, he didn't bring that ordinary mobile phone.
"Why are you all here?" Zhou Wen looked at it and found that the people from the Xuanwen Society and Weiyang Society were almost there, and even the classics were there.
"What else can you do here? Didn't you come here to open your eyes for that Buddha?" Li Xuan pouted and said, as if he was very dissatisfied with Zhou Wen, and actually came alone behind their backs.
"Senior Huang Ji told me just now that I only knew about the Buddha's opening of eyes, and I went to the Old Dragon Cave to pack some things before. Zhou Wen explained.
"Then you can be regarded as coming, if the Buddha statue really opens its eyes, maybe you can look at the two of us, then you will earn it." Li Xuan said.
When the two were talking, many people came one after another, and Zhou Wen saw Wei Ge come over with many backbones of the student union, including Zheng Tianlun.
Zheng Tianlun didn't have much interest in Zhou Wen, just glanced at him, but Wei Ge nodded to Zhou Wen with a smile, looking quite kind.
Zhou Wen nodded slightly in response, but he always felt that today's Weigo seemed to be a little different from before, but he couldn't tell what was different.
The sky is getting darker and darker, and when the sun is about to set, more and more people come, not only people from the academy, but also some from outside the academy, after all, the Longmen Grottoes do not completely belong to the Sunset Academy.
Seeing that there were more and more people, but the Buddha statue did not move, let alone open his eyes, it was dark, and he was almost out of sight.
Suddenly, Zhou Wen heard the sound of rushing water, as if something was rolling in the river, stirring the river and bubbling.
