Chapter 60: Slaughtering the Buddha's Lamp
I could feel a pain in one of my right thighs, as if I had been pricked by a needle.
Not to mention sleepy, I suddenly thought of the secret weapon of killing Buddha. I got up at once and touched my right thigh.
But it was all a false alarm, and I touched the map.
The map had been in my pocket. I was lying in the wrong position just now, and one of its sharp tips was poked right on my thigh.
I felt a little irritated, muttered, and pulled out the map again.
I casually brushed it aside.
Originally, I wanted to continue trying to fall asleep, but I was so frightened that I didn't feel sleepy at all.
I remembered a sentence that after taking sleeping pills and drinking strong coffee, what would happen to this? Some people say that they must be so sleepy that they can't sleep.
And I'm suffering from it now.
In order to make myself better, I simply rolled over again and let myself lie flat. I didn't want to sleep, so I set my sights on the map again in order to find something to relieve my boredom.
I thought to myself, I should know more about the local culture. I opened the map again.
This map has done a lot of advertising for tourist attractions, of course, the most noticeable are the more famous attractions in Guangdong, such as Yuezhou Tower, Window of the World, Zhuhai's Ocean Kingdom, etc., but this map is produced in a small place, in addition, it also introduces some local attractions not too far from Maomin.
There are Dragon Mother Temples or Feilai Gorge and the like, I was originally just walking around and looking around, but when I got to the end, I stared at a scenic spot and my head buzzed.
This attraction is from Aoning County, the name is Tusheng Buddha Lantern, and there is a picture of this attraction on the map.
In the picture is a big Buddha, this Buddha has tears, and under the large stone Buddha statue, there is also a stone butcher knife.
I immediately thought of the Killing Buddha, and I thought to myself that this was a coincidence? Or is there any connection between the Killing Buddha and this scenic spot? After all, the Buddha statues in other parts of the country are not named after the word Tu.
I put aside the map and searched the Internet on my phone.
There is very little introduction to the Buddha lantern, and it is estimated that it has something to do with the fact that this attraction is not famous. But I had the patience to turn the pages one by one.
Finally, I summarized the information I just consulted and had a general understanding of the Buddha lamp.
This Tusheng Buddha actually refers to the Zen Master of the Broken Mountain.
Zen Master Poshan was a monk in the late Ming Dynasty. At that time, it was an era of turmoil, Zhang Xian was loyal and ruthless, often slaughtering people, and the counties he passed through were "left behind". One day, his subordinate Li Dingguo saw the monk Poshan, who asked for the people's life and asked not to slaughter the city again.
Li Dingguo asked people to pile out mutton, pork, and dog meat, and said to the monk Poshan: "If you monk eats these, I will seal the knife!" Poshan said: "The wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha has left it in his heart!" He immediately ate it for Li Dingguo to see, and Li Dingguo also kept his promise, so he had to seal the knife.
In addition, Zen Master Poshan also did many similar things, such as mediating between the remnants of the late Ming Dynasty, the peasant rebel army, the bandits who gathered in the mountains and forests, and the Qing army and other armed forces, and actively guided these powerful men who held the power of life and death to be sympathetic to the people's feelings, respect the living souls, and try to bring as little blood to the people as possible, and even convert them to Buddhism, so that hundreds of millions of living beings would not be destroyed.
I admit that I know very little about the Broken Mountain Zen Master, but I have a guess in my heart that there must be many places in China where there must be relics about the Broken Mountain Zen Master, and this Slaughtering Buddha Lamp is just one of them, and nine times out of ten it is also the most inconspicuous one.
In addition, what attracted my attention was that in the introduction of the Tusheng Buddha lantern scenic spots, it was specially put forward, saying that the word Tu is one more point, and the face is the word household, not the word corpse.
I took out the wooden bead in my pocket, which was left by Ah Hu. I stared at the word "Tu" on the wooden bead.
I suddenly had such a thought, and I thought to myself, could it be that the Killing Buddha worships the Broken Mountain Zen Master, or is there any temple in this scenic spot, and the Killing Buddha comes from this temple?
This idea is very bold, how can even a monk be so bloody and violent?
The information I have now is too small to make any further judgments, but one thing is for sure, the connection between the Killing Buddha and the Slaughtering Buddha Lamp is very large.
When I talked to the ugly lady on the phone before, I still had a headache about not being able to find the whereabouts of the Killing Buddha, but this time, I became very confident.
I stopped lying down and swooped out of bed.
I looked out the window at the night sky. I wonder if Ah Hu really appeared, otherwise how could I look at the map, how could I find the Buddha lamp?
I bowed to the night sky, and then I wanted to go out again.
Now this residence is very old, and the door to this bedroom is a bit difficult to use.
I was about to reach out and pull the door open, but the doorknob suddenly failed. In the end, I didn't care about that much, so I just went ruthless.
With a thud, I grabbed a handle and finally forced myself out of the door.
In the hall, the iron donkey and the old man were still discussing, and the beard and the decrepit boy all took out the posture of listening, and I walked out of the bedroom so violently, which attracted their side eyes.
Their expressions were a little strange. Beard smiled dryly. He tried to influence me with this smiling expression, and he also emphasized, "I said brother, be calm in everything." ”
I said in my heart that now I have a new clue, and I still calm down a fart?
I had a plan in my heart, I also looked at the time, and said to them, "Brother Donkey is injured, so take care of it, Ah Zai, you are responsible for taking good care of Brother Donkey, as for the beard and the old brother, come with me, let's do something." ”
Lao Ba frowned. The beard asked curiously, "Where are you going?"
I replied, "Zhu Hai!"
Twenty minutes later, we got on the high-speed train from Guangdong to Zhuhai. I also called the ugly lady in my spare time, but on the phone, I didn't mention too much content, just told me when we would go to the Haitai Hotel, and also asked her to get ready for the meeting, of course, in addition, I also emphasized two words, Yuening County and Buddha Lamp.
Three hours later, we arrived at the Haitai Hotel and went straight to the conference room.
At this time, it was just morning, and we were all a little tired, but it didn't affect anything, and the conference room was quite lively, with six people gathered, including Ugly Niang, Gao Teng, and Yaksha.
I hadn't seen Yaksha for a while, and my last impression was that Yaksha was miserable and had two of his thumbs cut off by the Killing Buddha.
And when I saw him this time, I noticed that he had gloves on both hands.
When I met Yaksha, we both looked at each other and were silent for a while. I want to ask him, in his current state, can he still use a gun and a knife?
But I also understand that it's not a good question to ask. So the few times the words came to my lips, I held back.
Yaksha observed my expression and must have guessed something. He finally raised his hands, smiled indifferently, and said to me, "This is the last time I will participate in the mission, don't look at the hands of waste, but I can still command those men and let them help me catch that rabbit cub." ”
I nodded. And we didn't have time to talk much.
As for Lao Ba, he has been very strange since he came to Haitai, and he has always shown a strange expression.
