Chapter 272: Meditation Circle
After finishing speaking, Li Yan Tourmaline no longer paid attention to Yanai Katsuto, and walked directly towards the bridge in the distance.
After listening to Li Yan Tourmaline's words, Liu Jing Katsuto secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, "It seems that the little monk has become a nursing home here", and then raised his foot and chased after Li Yan Tourmaline.
Jiusheng Bridge, was built on February 23, 23rd year of Renxiao, in order to commemorate the Emperor Renxiao to open the benevolent government 'cultural taste', to give the people the way to progress, now there are good people Nakamura Taiwa funded the construction of a bridge, to commemorate the restart of the style of writing, look forward to the future generations......
(Japan's imperial examination system has a long history, dating back to the Nara period in Japan, when tribute examinations were held in imitation of the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty in China for the purpose of consolidating the emperor system.) )
(But later, because the shogunate was in charge of Japan, the tribute system gradually became unimportant, and all those in power were held by the samurai class, and the ordinary people at the bottom had no place to advance.) )
(When the time came to the Heian period, the shogunate abolished the tribute system, and this continued until the Edo period.) )
(It was under these circumstances that Emperor Hitotaka at the time proposed the policy of 'Scholarly Ginmi', which gave ordinary people a hope of advancement.) )
(Xuewen Yinwei, a policy that had connotations consistent with the imperial examinations, was therefore called the "Edo version of the imperial examination system", and its main scope of examination was Chinese Confucian classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics or the Book of Filial Piety, which was the basis for selection.) )
As soon as he came to the side of the bridge, Li Yan tourmaline saw a huge stone tablet standing at the head of the bridge engraved on the bridge inscription, through the inscription on the stone tablet, he knew that this Jiusheng Bridge was built to commemorate the benevolent government of Emperor Renxiao at that time.
"I didn't expect to see such a bridge to commemorate the restart of the literary style in such a remote place, which is really rare. ”
After talking to himself, Li Yan Tourmaline gently wiped the stele with his right hand. Then he walked slowly towards the bridge.
Liu Jing Katsuto, who followed Li Yan Tourmaline behind, also glanced at the stone tablet at the head of the bridge, but he just swept it over and stopped looking at it.
If it was a scripture engraved on it, then Yanai Katsuto would have taken a closer look, but it was obviously not, so he was not interested in those inscriptions.
"Crunch. Crunch, crunch......"
In addition to the piers, the rest of the Jiusheng Bridge is made of wood, and because the years have been a hundred years, so when Li Yan Tourmaline walked on the bridge deck, there was a thin creaking sound under his feet, obviously because of the long-term wind and rain, the bridge plate was not very smooth.
"It's weird, this bridge is so weird. Why is this so?"
As he slowly moved forward on the bridge deck, the doubts in Li Yan's heart became thicker and thicker, and his two eyebrows were wrinkled together, obviously encountering some unsolvable problem.
Yanai Katsuto, who was following Li Yan Tourmaline, heard the other party's self-talk, and couldn't help but ask: "What did Li Yan donor find, tell the little monk." ”
Li Yan Tourmaline, who had a pair of eyebrows wrinkled deeply, heard the culture of Yanai Shengren behind him, and stood up for a while before slowly replying: "Little monk, do you feel that this bridge is very strange?"
It's weird? Yanai Katsuto was stunned for a moment, obviously not too understanding.
"It's quirky. What's this weird method?"
Hearing Yanai Katsuto's rhetorical question, Li Yan Tourmaline thought for a moment and said, "I feel that since I walked on this bridge, the energy in my body has become faster, and there is a slight leakage. ”
"And my mind was also slightly in a trance, as if something was affecting my mind. It's very slight, but I can still feel it, it's a very strange feeling, but I can't describe it. ”
The energy in the body is running faster, and some leakage is still missing. The spirit was still affected in a trance, and Li Yan's statement made Yanai Shengren feel very strange in his heart, because he didn't feel the two situations that the other party said.
The two of them are both cultivators, there is no reason why Li Yan Tourmaline can feel these wonders, but he can't feel it, this situation is obviously a little peculiar, which makes Liu Jing Shengren very puzzled.
Although there are a lot of questions in his heart, Yanai Katsuto did not doubt Li Yan's statement, and since the two have been together for a while, he probably understands what the other party is.
Li Yan Tourmaline is definitely not a person without a target, usually if things are not confirmed, the other party will never speak first, now that the other party has spoken, it is obvious that he has figured out the situation.
"Amitabha, I'm really sorry, the little monk didn't feel the situation that Master Li Yan just said, maybe the little monk's cultivation is low. ”
Hearing Liujing Shengren's words, Li Yan tourmaline was stunned, then turned his head and asked affectionately and solemnly: "Little monk Liujing, did you say that you didn't feel what I said at all?"
"I didn't feel it at all. ”
After getting the definite answer again, Li Yan Tourmaline stopped talking, but closed his eyes, carefully feeling the fluctuations of the aura that affected him.
Seeing Li Yan's tourmaline eyes closed, as if he was understanding this, Yanai Katsuto carefully stood aside to protect him, in case some unnecessary dangers suddenly appeared.
Li Yan Tourmaline, who closed his eyes, used his spiritual power to probe into the distance through the energy that was slightly flowing in his body.
Originally, under normal circumstances, Li Yan Tourmaline couldn't let his spiritual power leave his body too far now, after all, his current cultivation was not enough.
However, now because his own energy is invisibly attracted, and Li Yan Tourmaline attaches his spiritual power to those sucked away energy, which allows him to realize the reality of spiritual power being released from a long distance.
Bang, bang, bang, a burst of boiling water came back to Li Yan Tourmaline's mind along the spiritual power line, and now he has probed his spiritual power deep into the bottom of the Takigawa River, according to his own feelings, he estimates that it is now nearly twenty meters deep, but this is not the end yet.
Deep, all the way deep, when the spiritual power followed the leaking energy deep for nearly thirty meters. Finally stopped, and at this time, Li Yan Tourmaline also 'see' clearly through his spiritual power what was absorbing the energy in his body, and affecting his spiritual will.
"Meditation Circle?"
Through his own spiritual power, Li Yan Tourmaline saw that the bridge piers tied to the bottom of the Takigawa River were carved with complex runes, although each rune was a little dull by the river erosion, but through its own spiritual power. He can still see it clearly.
Liu Jing Katsuto, who had been protecting the Turquoise Tourmaline on the side, heard the words 'Jing Zen Dharma Array' from the other party's mouth, his heart immediately moved, and at the same time, he quickly collected information about the Jing Zen Dharma Seal in his mind, and all the information appeared in his heart after just a moment of effort.
'Jing Zen Dharma Circle, created for the Pure Land Zhenzong generation of senior monks Jing Zen Master, is for the Buddhist cause and effect practice Dharma seal, according to legend, in the early years Jing Zen Master penance Buddhism, through the red dust experience. After walking in the earthly world for more than 30 years, he finally had an epiphany and created the Silent Meditation Circle. ’
After Master Jingzen successfully perfected the circle in his later years, he built an underground meditation room in front of the mountain gate of his temple, so that all the people who go up the mountain to worship the Buddha will step on the top of their heads, leaving behind a piece of their own luck, and at the same time, the people who worship the Buddha will also be blessed by the circle because they cross the top of the high monk Buddha. It can ensure that it has fewer diseases and fewer disasters, and external evils do not invade. ’
'Ever since we had this 'Meditation Circle', Master Meditation has been practicing like this in the underground meditation room for 60 years. The number of people who crossed his head exceeded 100,000, and when he reached the age of 120, he sat in the underground meditation room, and his Buddha body is still incorruptible, and it is still stored in the Honganji Temple of the Pure Land Shinshu. ’
The large amount of information that came to his heart was recalled by Yanai Katsuto in just a moment, but the confusion in his heart became more and more. Obviously, I don't know what the 'Quiet Meditation Array' in Li Yan's mouth means.
As if he knew that Liu Jing Shengren was in a hurry, it didn't take long for Li Yan Tourmaline to open his eyes, obviously having finished exploring.
"Li Yan's donor found something, just now the little monk heard the donor faintly spit out the words 'Jingzen Array' in your mouth, I don't know why. Could it be that there is this circle of karma engraved under this Jiusheng Bridge?"
Hearing Yanai Katsuto's question, Li Yan Tourmaline did not answer immediately, but slowed down for a while before speaking: "There is indeed a 'Quiet Zen Array' under the Takigawa River, and this circle was carved on the pier at the bottom of the river by the person who built the bridge. ”
"This Jiusheng Bridge should have three piers, if my estimate is correct, there should be 'Jing Zen Array' depicted on these three piers. ”
Li Yan Tourmaline's words of confirmation made Liu Jing fall into deep thought, he couldn't understand why this person who repaired the bridge would depict the magic circle of this high monk who had experienced his own cause and effect on the pier at the bottom of the river, which obviously made some sense, could it be that the other party would still cultivate at the bottom of the river?
This is obviously impossible, and in that case, what is the purpose of this 'Meditation Array'? Yanai Katsu began to muttered in his heart.
Seeing Liujing Katsuto's pensive expression, Li Yan Tourmaline ignored it and continued directly: "Through my investigation, I know why you can't feel the flow of energy and your spiritual power is affected. ”
"Because the energy in your body contains Buddha nature, the 'Meditation Array' depicted on this pier will not affect you, but I am different, although I am also a cultivator, it seems that I will still be affected. ”
Li Yan Tourmaline listened to the words of this Liu Jing Shengren, and said with some confusion in his heart: "What does Li Yan mean by this? Why does the little monk have Buddha nature in his body but will not be affected." ”
"According to the understanding of the little monk, this 'Jing Zen Array' is effective for everyone, when the Jing Zen Master was practicing, there were many monks from other temples who also went to worship, and those people generally left their own luck, there is no reason to change when they get to the little monk, right?"
Looking at Katsuto Yanai, who was seriously questioning him, Li Yan Tourmaline replied in a deep voice: "If it were a normal 'Quiet Meditation Array', of course it would be what you said, but this 'Quiet Meditation Array' at the bottom of the Takigawa River has been changed and has become an evil array, and the energy containing Buddha nature in your body is obviously rejected. ”
"Through the exploration of my spiritual power, I found that many of the magic circle runes engraved on the bridge piers are not the Indian Sanskrit commonly used in your Buddhism, and they are not even Chinese Japanese. ”
"It's an ancient Ezo barbarian script, I have learned some of those ancient words in the materials at home, which are graphic texts left by the Ezo barbarians in ancient times, and many of the words on it are those fierce birds and beasts, and there are monsters and ghosts. ”
Speaking of this, Li Yan Tourmaline paused, and then said in a solemn tone: "According to my understanding, this ancient Ezo script was usually used by the Ezo barbarians for sacrifice in ancient times, and the objects of their sacrifice were generally some evil things such as ancestral spirits and natural spirits, so these ancient graphic characters are generally evil." ”
From the time Li Yan Tourmaline began to speak, Yanai Katsuto listened carefully on the side, and when he listened to the other party, he already had some general eyebrows in his heart.
Therefore, Yanai Katsuto immediately asked: "According to your words, Master Liyan, the pier at the bottom of the Takigawa River has been carved with those ancient Ezo graphic characters, it should be that someone has changed the normal 'Quiet Meditation Circle' into an evil Circle, is that the case?"
"Well, that's it, and the most important thing is that I felt a thick layer of resentment on the pier, but because of the circle, those grievances were all locked inside the pier. ”
Yanai Katsuto asked in a somewhat surprised tone, "Is there still resentment on the bridge pier?"
"There is indeed a grudge, I suspect that the three piers at the bottom of the Takigawa River should be sealed with unclean things, it is likely to be a ghost, or it may be a spirit, in short, the people who died on this bridge are definitely related to the magic circle runes engraved on the bridge piers. ”
Listening to Li Yan Tourmaline's affirmative words, Liu Jing Katsuto did not refute, but groaned slightly and said, "Since Master Li Yan suspect that there is a sinister cause of chaos and harm under the bridge pier, then what should the two of us do?"
That's right, what should I do? Liujing Katsuto asked Li Yan Tourmaline this question at once, and now although he suspects that there is something unclean under this bridge pier, how should he deal with it, is it difficult to blow up this bridge, this is obviously impossible.
If he left directly regardless of it, then Li Yan Tourmaline was still unwilling in his heart, he went out this time to experience, and now it is rare to meet a bridge that is obviously problematic, if he leaves like this without doing anything, then what is the point of him coming out to experience this time.
This question made Li Yan Tourmaline feel a little big for a while. (To be continued......)
