Chapter 230: Inheritance Treasure

The old monk washed the dust off his body, his body was dry and thin, and the monk's robe full of patches fluttered around his body. Although www.biquge.info pen is still sloppy and walks a little staggering, everyone does not dare to despise it at all.

The old monk beckoned to Su Wen and the others, and everyone walked into another room with him, and saluted towards the position in the center where the Buddha statue should have been empty but was now empty.

"Senior, where is the Buddha statue?" As soon as Su Wen and the others saw his movements, they knew that this position was indeed as he originally thought, and the Buddha statue and the offering table were placed. Since the temple is called a temple, there must be a Buddha statue. And looking at the layout of the room, although it is a little smaller, it is also very similar to the general main hall. But the Buddha statue that should have been there now has disappeared at all, which is strange.

"It was too cold that year. After the old monk wrote six words on the ground, he first apologized slightly and folded the Buddha statue, and then smiled at everyone.

Su Wen never thought that it would be such an answer, but it turned out to be a cold split fire. If this is known to outsiders, it will have to be turned upside down. You must know that even a little disrespect for the Buddha in ordinary temples can cause great trouble, and now the Pure Heart Temple still has the attribute aura of punishing those who desecrate the Buddha statue. But here, it was actually split and burned, which is really surprising.

"Amitabha," Su asked, and Yan Huixuan and the three of them all shouted at the old monk. Although I was surprised, I didn't have too many thoughts. In the past life, when Zen Buddhism was flourishing, it was common to scold the great virtues of the Buddha and the Bodhisattva. In the view of Zen Buddhism, everyone has Buddha nature, and everyone is a Buddha. The Buddha and Bodhisattva are the guides and the forerunners, so they should naturally be respected. But it is only a guide, a forerunner, a great virtue, and all are equal in life. If you don't like it, what does it matter if you scold two sentences?

What's more, it is not easy for a person to live here, if there is really an embarrassment and difficulty, how can the dead Buddha statue compare life and death, and it will be burned when it is chopped and burned.

Of course, this is also the inside of Zen Buddhism, and if it spreads to the outside in this world, it will cause an uproar and be flooded with saliva.

After the old monk smiled at a few people, he led a few people out of the room, came to the back of the house, pointed at Su Wen and the others, and then pointed to the roof.

"Something on the roof?" Su Wen guessed. The earthen hut is just over two meters high, and above it is a hay roof.

The old monk nodded, and smiled at Su Wen again, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Abbot, I'll go up and have a look. Xingzang said in a low voice on the side, and after seeing Su Wen's nod, he ran a few steps and jumped forward, staring at the wall with his two legs a few times, and the whole person had already leaned out of the roof of half of his body. As soon as he put his hand on the roof, he flipped up.

When the old monk saw him flip up, he pointed to a position with his finger and did not open his mouth. When they first came into contact, everyone had already noticed that although the old monk could hear others, he was mute.

Xingzang groped for a long time in the position pointed by the old monk, but he didn't touch anything except the layers of hay that were spread.

The old monk made a gesture of smashing with his fist, and Xingzang immediately understood. Pull the hay aside, then slam your fist on the roof.

"Boom" A burst of dust spread around, Xingzang swept it twice with his hand, and his eyes suddenly saw a corner of red exposed below. Then his face showed joy, and he smashed the side a little, and suddenly saw a golden robe wrapped in a square and placed there. The golden wisps on the robe reflected the light outside, shining with golden light.

Reaching out and picking up the square wrapped in the robe, he sprinkled the dust aside, jumped down from the roof, and handed the robe to the old monk with both hands.

The old monk just waved his hand and pointed at Su Wen, and Xingzang handed over the golden robe to Su Wen.

Su Wen had made a lot of plans before he came, and he had thought about any situation, but it was unexpected to get it so easily. You must know that although it belongs to the same lineage of Zen Buddhism, the Pure Heart Temple was built by later generations, and there is almost no contact with this Dharma Temple. And what the other party took out was not an ordinary thing, but a treasure of inheritance. But the old monk never asked anything, but after Su Wen said that sentence, he went to wash his body and then took out the golden robe and handed it to Su Wen, which was too unexpected.

Although Su Wen didn't think about shouting and shouting and killing when he came, he also thought that the other party refused to hand it over, so he used Buddhism to convince the other party. You must know that this treasure has been passed down in their hands for more than a thousand years, but even the name of Zen Buddhism has to be forgotten in the world, and the treasure inherited by the ancestors is useless in their hands. Now that he has revitalized the Pure Heart Temple, he will also embark on the path of revitalizing Zen Buddhism. In any case, these inheritance treasures must be obtained so that they will not be attacked in the future on the grounds that the foundation is unknown.

This golden robe is called the kapok robe, which is said to have been handed down by the Buddha and passed down by Bodhidharma when he traveled to the east to spread the Dharma. After more than 1,000 years, it is still not damaged in the slightest, which can be regarded as a rare treasure. Even if anyone knows outside, it will make people break their heads, and it is really unthinkable to hand it over to yourself so easily, and it always feels a little empty.

Although he felt awkward, he still took the robe in his hand. As soon as I started, Su Wen's first feeling was that it was soft and smooth, as if it was woven from some kind of silk. The gold threads on it still shimmer in the dim light here, and you can imagine how magnificent it would be if it were under the sun.

Carefully open the robe, inside are three thin booklets, namely "Bodhidharma Four Treatises", "Bodhidharma Bloodline" and "Faith Inscription", the first two are Bodhidharma passed down and do not care, "Faith Inscription" is written by Seng Can. When he was alive, he openly taught Zen Buddhism, but he left behind this book that has far-reaching significance for the development of Zen Buddhism.

I don't know how the monks in the temple kept it, but the three booklets, which were just ordinary paper, were not damaged at all. You must know that it has been 1,500 years since the Third Ancestor, and even a parchment book is probably going to turn into ashes, not to mention this kind of booklet made of ordinary paper. Su Wen speculated more in his heart that he had been wrapped in this kapok robe, and the kapok robe was a rare treasure, so he kept these three booklets for so long and still intact.

Carefully wrapping the three booklets again with a kapok robe, Su Wen handed the robe to Dao Yan with both hands, turned his head to the old monk and said: "Thank you for the great virtue and high virtue, I don't know if the great virtue can give the name of the teaching, and there should be Zen disciples to preach it day and night in the future." ”

The old monk waved his hand when he heard Su Wen's words, but smiled very simply. That smile was completely heartfelt, simple and clean, and it seemed that I had finally let go of one thing in my heart.

Su Wen asked again: "Why don't you go back with us, although you can practice anywhere, but it's too hard here." It's better to return to the East China Sea with me, so that you can teach one or two disciples in the future and leave a legacy. ”

The old monk still shook his head, but sat down on the ground and wrote with his fingers on the ground.

"The poor monk entered the mountain at the age of ten, and it has been a hundred years since then. Now I will leave these things to you, and I will take care of my heart, and I should leave here. ”

Seeing Su Wen and the others in front of him, he was shocked, this old monk's age was 110 years old as he said, but although he looked old and his steps were slightly staggering, he was similar to a seventy or eighty-year-old man. And a mouthful of white teeth has almost not lost a few, so people can't imagine that they are so old. ”

"The Dharma Temple, the Dharma Temple, the temple is as its name suggests, the law of the ancestors. It's just that the descendants are useless, and they have been trapped here for thousands of years, and they can only pass on the law of the ancestor and the treasure of the ancestor. Now that the treasure has belonged to you and others, the responsibility of the Dharma Temple has been fulfilled. The temple started from the patriarch and ended here. (To be continued.) )
