"What is this?" Huang Ping pointed to a strange huge Buddha head placed on the ground and asked Huang Chang.

This Buddha head seems to have been deliberately thrown to the ground and stepped on, rolling everywhere with ashes and traces of rubbing.

Huang Chang and Huang Ping have had in-depth research on various religions because of the relationship of "accepting disciples on behalf of their brothers", and they once planned to create their own religion and say that their eldest brother is the reincarnation of a true Buddha, but later they were afraid of being checked by the water meter to dispel this very attractive idea.

"Picked it up on the road." Huang Chang poured the tea into the teacup and served Huang Ping a cup.

Huang Ping saw the kung fu tea on the coffee table and knew that Huang Chang was in a good mood, and couldn't help asking, "Picked it up on the road?" ”

Huang Chang smiled very deeply, like a second-rate strategist, he drank tea incomprehensibly, and asked Huang Ping to look at this Buddha head, "Take a look, just look at it." ”

Huang Ping squatted down and looked at the Buddha's head.

As soon as he came in just now, he felt that there was a reason why this Buddha head was weird. Because no matter how the head of the religious Buddha is carved, there is a general standard, three courts and five eyes, which are very regular. For example, in Taoism, the five views can be clearly seen to be relatively "flat", with single eyelids and slender eyes; However, the Buddhas in Buddhism, which were introduced to China from the Tang Dynasty, are prone to swollen eye bubbles, tiger eyes, fat lips, and big noses. If it is a portrait, then the Taoist priest should be thin, and the Buddha should be fat.

And this Buddha head is not "round" enough. And its facial features are not symmetrical, when the general craftsman carves, they are not required to carve like a person, and the Buddha statue is more perfect and perfect, and the symmetry is the most basic aesthetic requirement.

Huang Ping even showed a surprised expression when he saw that the left and right ears of this Buddha's head looked different!

"It's ...... Self Buddha!! Huang Ping lowered his voice, for fear that others would hear it, he quickly stood up and looked left and right, fortunately this was in his own villa, and the nanny couldn't come upstairs, even so, his heart still beat wildly, and he hurriedly went over and closed the door.

Huang Chang couldn't help but laugh when he saw him like this, but when he found out that the Buddha head he picked up on the road was his own Buddha, he was also startled, he just saw this Buddha head being picked up on the ground, contaminated with dust, and wanted to pick it up and scrub it clean and find a proper place to place it, but he didn't expect it to be his own Buddha.

Self-Buddha refers to the Buddha statues carved by some ascetics based on themselves. In order to practice, they would prick their eyes, deaf ears, cut off their tongues, and even more devout their own feet. They lived under their roofs, thirsty for rain water or sewage from puddles on the ground, ate only begging food, did not bathe or open their mouths all their lives, and only kept carving Buddha statues to preach.

The monks who have dedicated their lives in this pious way will become Buddhas after death, and the Buddha statues they carved during their lifetime are their true bodies left in the world, so in order to allow believers to worship themselves, the Buddha statues they carved are based on themselves, because they are blinded, they can not use mirrors when carving, they can only use their hands to find out their facial features and then carve out, so most of their own Buddha's faces are very strange, and few will be extraordinarily expressive.

They don't need money for the rest of their lives, so the carved Buddha of their own will be treasured by the believers, and the believers believe that the voice of such a devout practitioner will definitely be able to reach the place of the Buddha in the Western Heavens.

"This is really ......" Huang Ping couldn't help laughing, he drank all the tea poured by Huang Chang in one go, Huang Chang was pityful, "You, be steady." ”

Huang Ping said: "Did you tell the eldest brother? ”

Huang Chang shook his head, he didn't want to give the Buddha head he picked up to Huang Jiu, giving it to him would only become a treasure in the treasure house, there was no benefit, he wanted to sell it even more. One of the advantages of their own Buddha is that they can resist calamities, because the ascetics who carved them believe that inflicting pain on themselves can better approach the land of the West Heaven and the Hundred Virtues, and that it is a great good thing to bear the pain of others.

Those who are rich and powerful will definitely be willing to buy this Buddha of their own.

Huang Ping looked at the Buddha's head and suddenly remembered: "Only this Buddha's head?" Could there be anything else? ”

Huang Chang nodded and said, "I think so too." ”

After five days of drying the Buddha statue with a head missing from Xiangshan Villa, Qin Qing found that he didn't have the slightest anger, so he asked Marven to find someone to split it.

"How's it done?" Marven asked about the follow-up.

"Let's burn it after chopping." She said.

As a result, Ma Wencai deliberately found the incinerator, and watched those broken pieces of wood be burned into ashes.

But the little boy in the hospital is still the same.

"Why is the Buddha statue ruined?" Ma Wencai came out of the hospital and called Qin Qing, "He hasn't woken up yet, and his body hasn't improved." Is it because you lost your Buddha's head? ”

Qin Qing has been flipping through the materials of the Buddha statue for the past few days, and she has brought all the books and materials that can be found to study the Buddha statue, and she is turning it over every day.

"I guess the Buddha's head is the point." She said on the phone.

Ma Wencai said: "The surveillance video of the highway shows that someone picked up the Buddha's head, but the exact person has not yet been found. I would like to ask, what should I do after I find out? Putting it in the sun? ”

"Come to me first when you find it." Qin Qing glanced at it again, and saw a brief introduction on the yellowed paper: "Ascetic monks have many ways to express their devotion to the Buddha, usually by destroying themselves. Some of them don't say a word in their lives, and even if their parents die, they can't let out their sorrows; Some never open their eyes for the rest of their lives; Worse still, they shut themselves in a room where they don't see the light of day, don't see the sun, don't talk to people; There are also people who skip meals and only drink water. They believe that their ascetic deeds will bring them closer to heaven and receive the Buddha's aura sooner. In both Eastern and Western religions, there are such practitioners. ”

In the following paragraph, a few images that appear to have been taken from elsewhere are very blurry.

In one of the photos, a man sitting cross-legged under the eaves is faintly recognizable. I couldn't tell how old he was, he was very thin, he had no hair, his neck and arms were so thin that he could see the bones, and a much cleaner and more ornate shawl hung on his body. One of his legs appears in the photo, but that leg is nothing below the calf, like a round log.

He was still holding a piece of wood in his hand that he couldn't tell what it was.

There are two other groups of people kneeling down to worship him, one group of people on the left side of the photo, kneeling down with their bodies on the ground, and a huge copper plate in front of them, on which are square snacks piled up as high as a mountain; Another group of people at the bottom of the photograph can be seen to have taken it from this direction, and they are kneeling, very reverent, with their arms and faces pressed against the ground.

Underneath this photo is another photograph of a somewhat rudimentary Buddha statue, very, very crudely carved.

Below the photograph is the text: the ascetic and his carved Buddha of himself.

Self-Buddha ......

Qin Qing called Xu Hanwen, "Senior brother, do you know what your own Buddha is?" ”

Xu Hanwen said solemnly: "Oh, it is a group of very respectable practitioners who carved Buddha statues themselves, and the Buddha statues are usually based on themselves. ”

Qin Qing felt more and more similar, "Tell me in detail." ”

Xu Hanwen put down the book in his hand, walked into the corridor, and said, "What's this...... You know, the more backward, barren a place is, the greater the power of religion, right? ”

"Yes."

"It's because people need solace. When material abundance is not enough, spiritual abundance can give people a sense of satisfaction. But at the same time, the lack of material abundance also limited the spread of religion. "For example, if those people can't read or even understand your language, what should they do when they want to believe in religion?" Self-Buddha is one such path that inevitably arises in the development of religion: they encourage you to make your own Buddha. There are no Buddhist scriptures, no temples, and you don't even know what kind of Buddha you believe in. Then turn yourself into a Buddha. But to become a Buddha, you have to go through tribulations, what if you don't have so many tribulations? Create your own zào tribulation. ”

"In layman's terms, the Buddha of Self is the result of a group of Stockholm patients who have been to the world after they have been to the world." Xu Hanwen said.

Qin Qing said: "I know that believers in some areas will carve Buddha statues by themselves, but is the Buddha created in this way a real Buddha? ”

"No one knows how many Buddhas there are in the Western Heaven World, and they are innumerable, so ...... You can't say they're not Buddhas. Xu Hanwen said.

Qin Qing asked, "That carved Buddha statue is the Buddha?" ”

"No, when the practitioner who carved these Buddha statues dies, it means that he has cultivated and has gone to the West Heaven to become a Buddha, then these Buddha statues can be regarded as the Buddha statues of his Buddha."

I see.

Qin Qing understood. The practitioner who carved these Buddha statues must have died in the last year or two, so these Buddha statues have "power".

In fact, to put it bluntly, isn't it just a possessed ghost? These Buddha statues entrust the obsession of the practitioner, and the people who worship it are believers, so it is necessary to fulfill the wishes of the believers and collect offerings.

After knowing this, Qin Qing suddenly stopped being afraid. Before, she was really worried that it would be a "Buddha", but it turned out to be a pseudo-Buddha at best.

At this time, Marven called her again, and without saying a word, he sent her a picture first, and when she saw the photo, she was stunned.

That's exactly what they're looking for. However, in this photo, the Buddha's head is well mounted on a Buddha statue. If it weren't for the fact that this Buddha head was so recognizable, it would not be easy for them to recognize.

"Master Huang's younger brother sues me, he can sell me this." Marven smiled very proudly.

Because last time he asked Huang Ping to say that his friend's family had something to do and wanted to ask the master for help, so after Huang Ping got the Buddha's head this time, he immediately thought of Ma Wencai, and also attached an introduction to his own Buddha very intimately.

He asked Huang Ping at the time, "What about this Buddha...... How do you bless people? ”

Huang Ping said: "As long as this Buddha statue prays sincerely, it can bless the whole family." ”

"Just pray?" Marven asked deliberately disbelievingly.

"Be pious, pious, so that the gods and Buddhas can hear your heart."

Return the heart.

Marven dared to say that he didn't believe a word!

He called Qin Qing directly and confessed, "I don't believe it at all!" ”

"Basically, that's right." Qin Qing gave affirmation.

"What? That's right? "Marven was really moved this time.

"Basically, you can make any wish, and when you make it, it will take your life." Qin Qing said.

"Uh...... Well...... "Marven said in his heart, I knew it wouldn't be so simple!

"And it's very greedy, it wants a lot of believers to make offerings to it, so no matter what it wants, no matter who it is, as long as it makes a wish, it's willing to fulfill it, and it's very tempting." Qin Qing said and asked him, "Do you want to give one a try?" ”

"I will never allow it." Marven said with certainty, just kidding, their family has enemies, but it is never worth exchanging the lives of their own families.

Qin Qing nodded with satisfaction, "Then ...... this Buddha statue?"

"I'm going to come here." Marven said.

"That's good, when it's delivered to you, I'll go over and see how I ruin it." Now she has no psychological pressure to destroy this Buddha head.

Huang Ping and Ma Wencai secretly negotiated a good business, and they were so happy that they hurriedly went to Huang Chang and said that the money they negotiated this time was divided between their brothers. As a result, as soon as I saw Huang Chang, I saw that his face was very bad.

"What's wrong? By the way, I'll tell someone! 19 million! Huang Ping clenched his fists excitedly.

But Huang Chang was not excited at all, he sat on the sofa, and his breath was weak.

Huang Ping also realized that something was wrong, sat down and asked him in a low voice, "What's wrong?" He suddenly thought of it! Hurriedly stood up and rushed into the inner bedroom to see the safe, which was empty!

"Where's the Buddha's head?!" He rushed out and asked Huang Chang.

"Big brother took it." Huang Chang said dejectedly.

He didn't know what was going on, how did the eldest brother find out? Obviously, when he found the Buddha's head, he drove the car himself, and he also moved the Buddha's head into the house by himself, and he still remembered going to the guardhouse to turn off the surveillance video beforehand.

Why did Big Brother find out?

In Huang Jiu's room, he sat in a rocking chair and looked at the Buddha's head in the other corner of the room.

He put it closest to him.

But still can't resist it......

Do you want to live forever? 】

You can't let me live forever.

Huang Jiu replied sensibly.

Do you want to live forever? 】

You can't......

Huang Jiu closed his eyes and clenched his fists.

It can't do it.

So...... Don't promise it......
