Chapter 123: Meeting the Living Buddha (Second Update)
"What should I do?" The old god of Danwu replied on the ground: "Quack, cold salad, what do you want to do?" ”
With that, it let out a long yawn, indicating that there was nothing it could do about it.
There is no way, since Qiankun Tube has recognized Ye Qing as the master, then Danwu's strength is tied to the same rope as her, if its strength can reach the Yuan Infant Stage, it is estimated that there is a way to see through the Dharma Protector Array of this main hall.
"Forget it, it seems that fate has not yet arrived."
Ye Qing secretly sighed in her heart, she didn't complain about the sky, she didn't care about people, her strength was insufficient, it could only show that she hadn't worked hard enough.
Walk clockwise along the corridor, the first small hall on the left is dedicated to Master Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Yellow Sect, and his eight disciples, the first Dalai Lama and the first Panchen Lama are among the eight great disciples.
Walking to the corner of the west wall and the north wall, there is a white pagoda towering high, it is said that this white pagoda appeared from the Wotang Lake before the construction of the Jokhang Temple, there is no doubt that under the iconic building, Li Wei will spend at least ten minutes there to pose and take photos.
After staying for a while, they continued to walk towards the first Buddha hall on the south side, which is the "Sangqimeila" hall to which the Tibetans are devout, that is, the Medicine Buddha Hall.
Medicine Buddha is known as the "Oriental Pure Glass World" of the leader, the full name is the Medicine Buddha Liuli Guangrulai, also known as the Great Doctor King Buddha, the Medicine King of the Good Death or Disaster Relief and Longevity Medicine Buddha, in charge of the Oriental Pure Glass 3,000 Pure Land, the face is charitable, the demeanor is solemn, the right hand knee in front of the Buddha fruit branch, the left hand in front of the navel holding the Buddha bowl, feet in the center of the lotus throne.
Ye Qing stayed outside the hall for a long time, and what attracted her was not the medicine Buddha statue in the hall that had the power of "eliminating disasters and prolonging life", but the pair of ebony cards on both sides of the main entrance.
said that it is a couplet, but in fact, strictly speaking, it is more like a Tibetan poem.
I saw that on the left side of the plaque, with the handwriting of chiseled silver is written, "Wake up the world of doctors, widely cultivate a hundred herbs for elixir", on the right is "cross the catastrophe to become a Buddha, willing to sow all roots as a mage", the last word of the left and right two couplets together, is "medicine master".
These simple twenty-two words are actually similar to the essence of the sect worshiped by the Danyi Sect where Ye Qing was in his previous life.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally walked into the hall, finished offering a stick of incense to the Medicine Buddha who saved the world, and did not pray for anything, and soon walked out again, following everyone and continuing to walk elsewhere.
Next to the Medicine Buddha Temple, next to the hand on the ear side, the statue of the skinny founder of the White Sect - Milarepa, a few steps further, is the third Buddha, turn the second hall is the Guanyin Palace, on the right side there are Songtsen Gampo and the ruler, the statue of Princess Wencheng.
For these side halls, Ye Qing just took a look at them, and did not show a particularly strong sense of curiosity, but Li Wei and Kuang Zhenzhen, who were taking pictures for a while, and burning incense and praying for a while, both of them were busy sweating profusely, but they were smiling heartlessly.
After walking through the main hall and coming out of the gate, you can see the harmonious picture of many Tibetan Buddha devotees pushing the prayer wheel while walking.
There are 380 prayer wheels, one next to the other, and the believers have to push them in circles from left to right, over and over again.
Li Wei thought it was fun, and at first she was happy to join in, but it didn't take long for her to run back out of breath because she was so tired that she couldn't stop running, on the other hand, those Tibetans, regardless of men, women and children, were pious and solemn with a face, and this scene made people look at it and couldn't help but be in awe.
They emerged from the courtyard and returned to the side entrance, where there was a staircase leading to the second-floor landing.
There are two main attractions on the second floor of the main hall worth seeing, one is the Dharma King Hall of Songtsen Gampo, and the other is the Dharma Protector Temple of Pandan Ram, they visited these two temples and temples, and accidentally came to the northeast corner of the courtyard on the second floor, and accidentally found that there is a ladder here, which seems to be a small door leading to the third floor.
"Can't you go here?"
The two lamas were guarding the ladder, and when they saw that Li Wei was about to climb up, they hurriedly reached out to stop her, pointed to the wooden sign hanging on the east wall, and shook their heads.
Li Wei didn't know why, so she had to look in the direction they pointed, and saw that the wooden sign was written crookedly in Tibetan, and she couldn't understand half of it, so she had to look at Xu Zimo as if asking for help.
Xu Zimo didn't look at her, his brows seemed to frown slightly, his eyes were as misty as the wind, as if he was grazing over Ye Qing's body like nothing, and then raised his head and flew to the world behind the small door.
"This door is the entrance to the Golden Dome, however, it is not open to the public."
Shi Lei spread his hands helplessly and said with a smile: "Because above is the meditation room of 'Zhu Bigu', Zhu Bigu is the most respected living Buddha of the Tibetan people." ”
"What, Living Buddha?"
Hearing Shi Lei's words, Li Wei, Li Min, Kuang Zhenzhen, and Shangguan Qingqing were all shocked, because in their impressions, in the magical land of Tibet, in addition to the Panchen Lama and the Dalai Lama, the status of the living Buddha is the highest, not to mention that the legendary living Buddha also has many magical powers such as foreknowledge, psychic, wonderful law, and liberation, and this Tibetan Buddha sage who is almost a god is located on the floor above their heads at this time.
In comparison, Ye Qing's performance was much calmer, because when she was in Litang Temple before, Lama Sam had already mentioned to her that the identity of the Living Buddha was actually one of the Dream Speakers, and what she wanted to know could only be known if she asked the Living Buddha in person.
"Brother Xu, is there any way to meet the Living Buddha?"
Ye Qing thought to herself, if the Living Buddha was unwilling to meet her, then she could consider it and sneak in from somewhere else, after all, with her strength in the seventh layer of Qi cultivation, it was estimated that no one here would be able to stop her.
Of course, the premise is that the Living Buddha doesn't make a move, otherwise, in her current state, she will definitely not be able to withstand the attack of a dream master's spiritual power, even if that person's strength is weaker than her.
This is the amazing talent of being a dream master.
Hearing her ask, Xu Zimo involuntarily glanced at Ye Qing, paused, and quickly looked away.
He nodded: "If you want to ask to see the Living Buddha, there are generally two ways, one is that the Living Buddha takes the initiative to make an appointment, and the other needs to bring Buddhist tokens." ”
"What specific Buddhist token?" Kuang Zhenzhen was curious, "Is it a wooden fish, or a rosary, or is it ...... Relics? ”
"Ahem...... Shi Lei almost laughed, "What are you thinking about this melon seed, if it is something like a wooden fish or a rosary, you can buy a lot of them on the street, how could a living Buddha ask for such a thing." Also, what kind of relics, take out one at random, it is estimated that it can become the treasure of other people's temples, who can take such a valuable thing? ”
"This is not that nor that, then do you know, what is the Buddhist token that the living Buddha is talking about?"
"Uh...... This ......"
He scratched the back of his head and sneered, "I don't know. ”
"Flutter ......" Li Wei laughed out loud very unkindly, "Someone is pretending to understand again." ”
Shi Lei shrugged his shoulders indifferently, but without surprise, he got Kuang Zhenzhen's big eyes.
Ye Qing pondered for a moment, took out a leaf from the backpack he was carrying, and muttered, "Could it be this?" ”
This green leaf was handed over to her by the little lama Ninggu before she left the meditation room in the back mountain of Litang Temple, about the size of a palm, in the shape of a triangular heart, with a smooth surface, wavy on the whole edge, and it smelled like a faint fragrance of grass and trees.
"What is this?" Li Wei stretched out her hand and took it, "Hey, Qing'er, this seems to be a Bodhi leaf, right?" ”
"It's Bodhi leaf." Ye Qing nodded, from the time Ning Gu handed this leaf to her, she already knew that it was a Bodhi leaf.
It's just that Ye Qing subconsciously thinks that this should not be an ordinary Bodhi leaf, of course, this is just her own almost intuitive conjecture, and there is no substantive basis.
"Billy?" This time, it was the turn of the two red-clothed lamas guarding the stairs with shocked expressions.
They looked at the Bodhi leaves in Ye Qing's hands in a daze, and it took a long time before they slowly came back to their senses.
Glancing at each other, one of the red-clothed lamas stepped forward and motioned for Ye Qing to hand over the Bodhi leaf in his hand to him for the time being, and he picked up the leaf as if he had won a treasure, and the expression on his face suddenly became solemn in an instant.
Ye Qing saw him walking up the stairs with the leaves in his hands, and his gentle steps stepped on the wooden ladder board, but there was a clanging sound of gold and iron.
"My God, is this the sandalwood carving that survives from the seventh century AD?" Shi Lei's eyes widened and he asked incredulously.
Xu Zimo helped him answer: "I guess there will be no mistake." ”
He himself is an expert in Tibetan Buddhist culture, and knows that the Jokhang Temple retains a lot of seventh-century sandalwood door frames and exquisite wood carvings, and has experienced more than 1,400 years of ups and downs.
If this ladder is not unexpected, it should be one of those precious wood carvings, I can't imagine that to this day, it is still so intact, and it is even more incredible that such a rare antiquity is not treasured, but used normally like a mortal thing, hehe, I really don't know whether to say that the Jokhang Temple is rich and rich, or it is better to regard money as dung.
"What, priceless?"
Sure enough, after listening to Xu Zimo's detailed explanation, Li Wei's eyes suddenly lit up: "Rely on it, there are so many stairs, then I can just pry a piece back casually, wouldn't it be gone?" ”
"Stupid, it's not like I haven't eaten in the morning, where is one piece enough, if you want to pry a few more." Kuang Zhenzhen swallowed wildly.
I rub, it turns out that Tibetans are so rich, last time in Litang Temple, she saw the Xianggen Ling Pagoda inlaid with all kinds of gems, already envious to no, I didn't expect the Jokhang Temple to be more wealthy, even the stairs used by the living Buddha to walk, are national treasure-level antique wood carvings.
Rich, too damn rich.
Shi Lei sweated wildly: "Hey, you two, aren't you afraid of becoming a wanted criminal?" Since we know that these ladders are national treasure-level antiquities, if you lose a piece, you won't make the city full of wind and rain. ”
"What are you afraid of, don't forget, the purpose of Buddhism is 'Pudu for the heart, to help the suffering', then we two poor people, pry a plank back, it's not too much, right?"
Shi Lei pondered: "It seems to make sense to say this. ”
"It makes sense." Kuang Zhenzhen glanced at him, "Why don't you come over and help?" ”
"Oh......" a man nodded.
Before he could finish his sentence, there was a rush of footsteps upstairs.
Ye Qing and the others looked up at the same time, and saw a delicate-looking nun in her twenties walking down the stairs excitedly, followed by the red-clothed lama who had brought the Bodhi leaf up earlier.
