Chapter 231: True Fire Self-Immolation
The old monk wrote a few words on the ground and erased them with his hand. The pen %fun %Ge www.biquge.info wrote his own ground with his fingers, and the ground was smoothed by him like sand. This hand alone made Xingzang and Xinghui frightened. Writing with your fingers on hard ground is so simple that even ordinary people can leave shallow marks. But it is not easy for him to smooth the ground like sand with his hands. What's more, he was so relaxed, as if he hadn't spent a trace of effort gently caressing.
Su Wen looked at the old monk's calm face, and then thought of what he had just written, "You can leave here", and suddenly realized in his heart that he knew where the old monk was going.
After the old monk finished writing a few sentences, he closed his eyes slightly and clasped his hands together.
In the next second, in the eyes of several people, white flames suddenly erupted from the pores of the old monk's body, quickly covering his whole body.
"Abbot, what is this?" Xinghui suddenly asked in a lost voice.
He never thought that this old monk was fine just now, and the next second he would burst into flames and set himself on fire.
"Amitabha. Su Wen ignored Xinghui, but instead chanted the Heart Sutra with a Buddha horn to help him, and the same was true of Dao Yan and Hui Ling.
"When contemplating the bodhisattva of self-reliance, when he walks in the deep prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he overcomes all suffering. The relics are not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and the same is true when you want to know it. The relics are the empty phase of all the laws, neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor pure, neither increased nor decreased......"
As the three of them chanted, the flames on the old monk's body became even bigger, but Xinghui and Xingzang, who were not far away, didn't even feel the slightest heat, so they could only watch the flames on the old monk's body get bigger and bigger, and the figure was completely engulfed by the white flames, and they couldn't see it at all.
Su Wen and the others recited the Heart Sutra seven times in a row, and the flames in front of him gradually became smaller, revealing his original body again, and the white flames attached to his body and slowly burned.
And the burst of white flames just now burned all the clothes and beards all over the body, and there was nothing left. A shriveled old monk was left sitting cross-legged.
At the same time, a scent of Zhilan came out from the old monk, which made people feel refreshed after smelling it, which was very surprising.
Xinghui is like this, Su Wen and the others were chanting, no one paid attention to him, he stared at the old monk's relic, thinking in his heart: What kind of fire was that white flame just now? It actually erupted from the pores of the whole body, and the hair of the clothes on the whole body was burned clean, and there was a fragrance of Zhilan in the body. If ordinary people see it, eighty percent will think that the old monk is some kind of Zhiren Zhima and other cultivation essences, and he will be handcuffed by the fire to exude this Zhilan fragrance.
In Su Wen's eyes, he saw the old monk standing up from the place where he was sitting, still wearing the same tattered monk's clothes, but there was still an old monk sitting cross-legged on the ground whose clothes had turned to ashes.
Then the old monk turned into a white light and rose into the sky, and disappeared in an instant.
"Amitabha. Su Wenchong shouted the Buddha's horn where the old monk was.
After a sound, the old monk's body shook, and it turned into ashes in front of everyone's eyes, leaving not a trace left.
And the old monk just now has completely disappeared, only the position where he just sat left some black marks to prove his existence.
Come clean, go clean. When the old monk left, he didn't leave anything, he burned it all down, and no one even knew his name. But Su Wen and the others were full of respect in their hearts.
This Dharma temple has been in the same vein for more than 1,000 years just to protect this treasure of inheritance. And after he came, he handed it over to himself without saying a word, and then said that the lineage of the Dharma Temple was cut off, and the samadhi true fire was self-immolated.
This kind of behavior, this kind of cultivation, people have to admire.
"Abbot, what's going on?" Xinghui was still surprised by what had just happened, and now he and Xingzang hadn't understood it yet.
"This great master has already been able to cultivate the Arhat Fruit Rank, and I think he has been guarding this inheritance treasure until we come to get it. Now that he has completed his retirement, he has attracted the true fire of samadhi in his heart to burn all his mortal body and leave this world. Judging from the appearance of this great virtue, I am afraid that he has cultivated into a great arhat fruit, which is really admirable. Su Wen sighed.
"But I still don't understand, why is he not even stable about who we are, can he hand it over to whoever comes? And this place has not seen anyone for ten or eight years, he has not even had a successor, if we come ten years late, he will be one hundred and ten years old, can he wait another ten years? Who can find such things?" Although the scene just now was shocking, Ke Xinghui still asked the puzzle in his heart. He felt strange just when the old monk wrote it with his fingers, and now he finally had the opportunity to ask.
"I told you to study the sutras a lot. This great master had already seen us here in meditation, and when he saw us taking these few things, he naturally didn't need to ask again. In the same way, knowing when we are here naturally does not need to leave no heirs. As he said, the temple is extinct, and there is no need to stay in the future. Su Wen explained, and at the same time looked at Ma Tian, who was staring at the place where the old monk had self-immolated, and said, "You should study the Dharma with me when you go back, and don't be like you, a senior brother." ”
Ma Tian glanced at Su Wen, then at Xinghui, and hurriedly whispered, "Yes, master." ”
Xinghui smiled when she heard Su Wen's words, and the doubts in her heart were finally solved. But after it is solved, there are more doubts. Although he didn't practice magic back then, he also practiced in Taoist temples for many years. At that time, I had heard some very strange things, but they were always so unclear, and I had never seen them with my own eyes.
After abandoning the Tao and entering the Buddha and entering the Pure Heart Temple, all kinds of miraculous times are often seen. For example, the visions when Su Wen was preaching, such as those scenes at the water and land dojo, such as the ghost of the black-clothed monk Xingyuan that he saw in that small mountain village, such as this time I saw this old monk who spewed out samadhi fire and burned himself completely, and still retained his body. Is it really as the teacher said, that one's path lies in Buddhism and not in Taoism?
Thinking of this, he himself felt that this should be the case. Otherwise, how could he just listen to what others said when he was in the Daomen, but when he went down the mountain to help others, he encountered zombies, and after entering the Pure Heart Temple, he saw so many things?
Thinking of this, Xinghui also had a realization in his heart, and turned to Su Wen and saluted: "Thank you Abbot for taking me this way this time, and I have seen so many people and things, so that I can be firm in body and mind." From now on, I should practice the Dharma diligently, and I will not waste the abbot's painstaking efforts. ”
"The child can be taught. Dao Yan listened to Xinghui's words and smiled.
Seeing that he was enlightened, both Daoyan and Hui Ling were happy for him. Xingzang's scarred face also had a faint smile, and at the same time some envy. But I also know that enlightenment is everyone's chance, and Xinghui is enlightened in this matter, which is Xinghui's chance, but not his. He has to be enlightened, and he has to have his own chances.
Su Wen was also a little happy. Although he chose Xinghui for other reasons at that time, this was not his chance. Now that he has become enlightened, it is impossible to say what he will achieve in the future.
Moreover, although there are mages and monks in the Pure Heart Temple, except for Su Wen, they are all summoned in the Incense Hall. And among the Xingzi generation, Xinghui is still the first person to become enlightened, earlier than Xingyuan who has Su Hui in his previous life. Some of the disciples are like this, and Su Wen is naturally happy.
"Then do the ashes of this master still need to be astringent?" Xinghui had just become enlightened, but he remembered something again. I got this opportunity, and I also got a relationship with this old monk, and I will only feel at ease after I rein in him.
Su Wen smiled and reprimanded: "I have just become enlightened, and I am stupid again." This great virtue is clean, how can there be anything to restrain you. ”
Xinghui turned his head to look again, and the ashes that the old monk's body had turned into just now had dissipated with a gust of breeze, and it was really clean. (To be continued.) )
