Chapter 426: Body Burning Ritual (Part 1)

The other monks of the temple specially built a high platform in the middle of the side street, which is the only way for pedestrians to pass through, and they seized the center of the street, which is the most attractive.

In addition to a high platform that attracts people to stop and watch, there is also a high platform stacked with piles of dry straw and dry firewood that has not been dried to the slightest moisture, and people can look up from the bottom to see a monk in a robe sitting on it, and no more can be seen.

But the dog saw it better than others under suspicion, the monk who sat solemnly on the high platform with his hands folded and treasured looks dignified, but there is no real blood, his face is specially decorated, and the faint red on his lips and cheeks are all made of his daughter's rouge. However, the reason why it couldn't be spotted at a glance was probably because the monk had just died.

Wow –

The burning ceremony officially began, and the applause rang out wave after wave like a tide, and the fire burned more and more, roasting the people standing at the front of the innermost layer back again and again. At this time, the crowd of onlookers was even more boiling, and the lively discussion directly drowned out the chanting of the monks.

"Do you become a Buddha after burning?" the dog was puzzled, "I have never heard of such a way of becoming a Buddha in the Western Bliss. ”

Xia Zhenniao also said: "I have never heard of such a way, it is to deceive the villagers." ”

"Isn't this murder?" Gouzi and Lin Suqing said, "I clearly heard that they don't want to become Buddhas!" It turns out that this is the purpose of their rebirth mantra at that time, because they are about to kill him, so they recite it in advance.

Lin Suqing sighed: "Even if we want to intervene now, we have missed the best time. The monk had already choked his last breath. ”

"But I don't understand, the monk cried desperately that he didn't want to become a Buddha, but he just swallowed his breath and just died. So what method did the monks use to make the burned monk sit obediently all the way, without shouting or making trouble, and was carried around the whole town without struggling or crying, but he died before the burning ceremony......" The dog frowned at Douzi, "Is it poisoning?

Xia Zhenniao rubbed his chin and observed for a long time and analyzed: "Deadly poison usually damages the viscera, and if the viscera is damaged, the body will have an uncontrollable strong reaction, and it is even more impossible for him as a mortal to suppress the violent reaction of the strong lethal toxin and the damaged viscera through his own will, and even sit upright like that." ”

In the end, he turned to ask Lin Suqing, "What do you think?"

"You're my teacher, don't you teach me all the things I will? ”

"That's not necessarily, you are good at learning, you must have learned a lot in the collection building of Kunlun Mountain, the blue is blue, and the future is terrifying. If I really ask you, it's not for you to play tricks. ”

Lin Suqing humbly pursed his lips and recognized Xia Xuniao's evaluation, in fact, he had also observed the monk sitting on the high place for a long time, but he was helpless to check it at close range in front of everyone's eyes, and presumably other monks would stop him from approaching.

"I can only wait for the monk to finish burning, and then find a chance to go and take a look. ”

"Watching them burn?" the dog glanced over there...... There is already the smell of meat wafting out......

The onlookers at the bottom dared to watch, not only dared to watch, but also talked about it with relish, and were busy communicating and talking about their feelings.

"He is worthy of being a living Buddha, the fire is so burning, you can see that he doesn't move!"

"yes, I didn't even frown, it was a real fire, and I felt flustered when I stood so far away. ”

"If you don't say that our Luwu Township has become more and more blessed in recent years!

The dog listened to the discussion below, and was so disdainful that he couldn't roll his eyes back: "Of course people are not afraid of fire when they die, what a living Buddha, that is, an ordinary person who has shaved his head and burned his scars." ”

There is also humanity underneath: "It is worthy of being a high-ranking monk! Cultivation must be extraordinary! I feel the light of the Buddha shining!"

The dog rolled his eyes again: "What kind of cultivation can he have? He has a few more scars on his head than ordinary people, right? In terms of spirituality, I am afraid that he is not as good as the dog who guards the field in the field." ”

The dog had a self-talk to the people watching the excitement below, and Xia Huoniao persuaded it to say a few words, after all, mortals didn't know that the monk was dead, but this was less.

However, Lin Suqing found that they didn't have to wait until the burn was finished before they could go back: "Look at it." ”

The dog looked around: "What are you looking at, what are you looking at? Isn't it burning so loudly that it is bubbling with oil?"

Lin Suqing flicked his fingers, and his spiritual power was like the wind, blowing the fire on the monk's body, and they were stunned when they saw it, no wonder the monk was motionless, no wonder he didn't want to be a living Buddha, but he suddenly quietly let them carry him through the streets and alleys.

I saw that the flesh and blood had been burned to a blur, and half of the shoulders and chest had been burned, and a little bit of the state that only blackened dry firewood could have! It could not be a spine that had not been burned yet!

"So ruthless......" The dog stammered in surprise.

It turned out to be a thin wooden stake, and the monk's back court ran straight to the top...... No wonder he didn't move, presumably the stake should have been nailed to the lotus platform at the bottom, and when it was lit with dry firewood and straw, everyone could not see it in the raging fire, and when the monk burned it, the straw and dry wood were burned out, and the stake was also burned, even if it was not burned out, it would be regarded as dry firewood......

"How can everyone find out about this!" the dog was frightened, if he was allowed to go out and hit the high platform, but such a high platform fell down and was still on fire, which would inevitably hurt the villagers for no reason, and it was very likely to ignite the surrounding houses, this plan would not work. No, no, no, the wind blew away the straw and dry wood, and it showed the stake, but those fire balls were still dangerous!

"If only it could rain. Lin Suqing couldn't bear to look at it anymore, but he thought of it with the dog, but none of them knew how to make it rain.

"Can you only watch...... "The dog sulked, really trying to expose their cruel behavior!

Xia Xuaniao was also angry, but she let out a breath of helplessness and resentment, and said helplessly: "We can't interfere in everything and control everything. There are many things that heaven and earth have their own arrangements, such as wars everywhere, the replacement of old and new emperors, or the gain and loss of mortal lands and communities......"

These things and those things are actually of the same nature, but the difference between big and small.

"But if the wicked don't get rid of me, my heart will not be happy!" said the dog viciously, baring his teeth.
