Nowadays, Buddhism does not have many rules in later generations. After An Shigao's death, the so-called water and land dojo was not held, and the grand ceremony was held. It's just that the monks who came to Middle-earth together carried him out of the house with the couch. Place it in the open space in front of the cool table.

Qingliangtai was originally a place for Emperor Ming to read and enjoy the cool when he was young. Later, it was the place where the Indian monks took Morteng and Zhu Falan to translate the scriptures.

The last hall of the White Horse Temple, the Pilu Hall, is located on the cool platform. The two eminent monks practiced at Qingliangtai until their deaths. The east and west sides of the mountain gate of the White Horse Temple are divided into the tombs of Morteng and Zhu Flange to show mourning. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, Qingliangtai was the place where the White Horse Temple collected scriptures. Around the Pilu Pavilion on the platform, surrounded by the side hall, monk's room, corridor, etc., it is a Han-style courtyard. It has its own pattern and is known as the "courtyard in the sky" by later generations. Comparable to the "hanging gardens" of Babylon.

The monks in the temple all came to help. There is no joy or sorrow on the face, the hands and feet are neat, and the actions are as usual.

Soon, the monks piled up firewood, brought down An Shigao, and surrounded them.

Ready to burn it down.

A tall and tall monk, holding a torch, walked in front of Liu Bei, who was watching.

"I'm coming?" Liu Bei was stunned.

"The last thing An Shigao saw was Tanna. Tanna is his last bond in the world. The monk spoke pure Gyeonggi official dialect.

Liu Bei understood. Then he raised the fire and stepped forward, looked deeply at An Shigao in the sitting circle, and circled the fire ring.

According to the instructions of the high monk, he threw the torch into the sea of fire. All concerned.

The fire is blazing, and the fragrance is overflowing.

The monks of the whole temple meditated together, chanted Buddhist scriptures in Sanskrit, and saw off An Shigao.

Liu Bei looked at the flames quietly, for fear of missing any vision. As a result, auspicious clouds and Buddha light did not appear. It's just a fire that consumes everything.

It's a hundred.

"My lord?" Seeing the flames rising, Jia Xu couldn't help but speak.

"Wenhe, let's take a look." Liu Bei was still a little unwilling.

"Whoa." How could Jia Xu not know Liu Bei's intentions. Even if the lord does not believe in Buddhism. But I also want to see if the Dharma can benefit the world.

In ancient India at the time of the Buddha, there were four burial methods: cremation, water burial, earth burial, and forest burial (abandoned forest). Cremation is listed as the first of all burials and continues to this day.

Before the Buddha entered and died, he instructed his disciples to collect relics and build pagodas and temples, so that when future generations saw the pagodas, they could think of the creation of the Buddha. After the Buddha was destroyed, the disciples burned the Buddha's body with incense wood according to the instructions. After the Buddha, in the ashes to get the Buddha relics "eight Hu four buckets".

It's all about simplicity these days.

A pile of firewood was sent to the western heavens.

"My lord? Lord? ”

Liu Bei opened his eyes when he heard this, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed. I went and fell asleep in the middle of the night......

Jia Xu is afraid that he has not slept all night. Then he whispered, "Before dawn, the flame gradually goes out. Several feudal monks are waiting to clean up the fire. Therefore, the lord will be awakened. ”

"There's Lau Wenhe." Liu Bei got up, moved his numb legs, and walked towards the fire.

"Get the Buddha relics in the ashes 'Eight Trees and Four Buckets'." So much, the Buddha fruit is extraordinary. The high monk who had delivered the torch earlier was groping back and forth among the ashes with a deadwood staff. Suddenly I heard a crisp sound. This lifts the head of the rod up. A red relic bead was immediately turned out.

The monk nodded happily, and his eyebrows were full of joy.

To be able to form a relic should be the embodiment of successful cultivation.

It's as big as a dragon's eye, but it's the only one.

The monk took out the red bead and gave it to Liu Bei together with two curved bone pieces. Relic beads...... Is it possible to give it away?

Seeing Liu Bei's suspicious expression, the monk smiled and said, "Buddha is destined to be a person." ”

Liu Bei opened his mouth and silently accepted it without mentioning it.

The relics came from the fire and still had residual warmth. Two curved bone fragments, one from the female restaurant of the orchid restaurant. One piece should be a relic of Anceco. Liu Bei tried to put it together, and sure enough, it was the shape of ivory. However, one piece was missing.

In other words, there are three pieces of tokens. But I don't know whose hand the last piece is.

Seeing that the monk put An Shigao's ashes on the altar and prepared to sprinkle them into Luoshui. Liu Bei then said goodbye and left.

After thinking about it, he turned around and went to the horse market again.

Unexpectedly, the orchid wine shop was also covered with white veil.

"Not good!" Liu Bei hurriedly got out of the car and rushed in quickly.

The lobby was already full of people of all kinds. Luoyang Ling Zhou Yi is also there.

Seeing Liu Bei, he stepped forward and saluted: "Junhou." ”

"Ming Ting, could it be ......"

"The restaurant An's died last night for no reason. I have commanded an inquest, but I am dying, and no one is to be taken of it. ”

"......" Liu Bei was stunned.

After speaking. Luoyang Ling took the orchid wine shop homestead voucher and handed it to Liu Bei: "There is an An's handwritten letter before the case." said, and gave the wine shop and a group of orchids and slaves to the prince. ”

Seeing that Liu Bei had not yet come back to his senses, Jia Xu, the chief bookkeeper, stepped forward to take it.

Only then did Liu Bei react and hurriedly saluted.

Luoyang Ling also returned the gift, and he didn't mention it since he was busy.

Liu Bei climbed the third floor along the ladder, followed the funeral people and others, and found the body of the female restaurant.

The body has been coated naked and changed into a shroud. The face is serene and lifelike. The mourning hall is covered with deer skins, and deer skulls are hung from them. The room is filled with the smell of sandalwood mixed with frankincense. There was a pair of priests sitting in front of the fire and chanting. There was also a pair of yellow-eared white dogs on a leash next to it.

"It's a 'dog-eyed ritual.'" Jia Xu stepped forward and said, "The female restaurant must be a Zoroastrian one." ”

Zoroastrianism is the state religion of the Resting Empire. In the Central Plains, it is called "Zoroastrianism", "Fire Zoroastrianism", and "Zoroastrianism".

According to the Pahlavi scriptures. The soul of the deceased sat on one side of the body for three days and three nights. In the early morning of the fourth day, the soul arrived at the terrifying "Bridge of Judgments" (i.e., "Chin Wat Bridge"). In order to give the greatest relief to the deceased, the family members were required to mourn for three days, and the priest was required to recite scriptures, followed by blood offerings and fire worship. On the night of the third day, meat and shrouds are offered to the deceased to ensure that the spirit of the deceased can safely embark on the journey to the underworld the next morning.

Zoroastrian doctrine holds that after death, the dead body is attached to a deadly corpse, which appears in the form of a fly, and needs to be driven away by dogs. According to Vindidad, chapter 8, verse 3, choosing a yellow dog with four eyes, or a white dog with yellow ears, and bringing it to the deceased will cause the corpse to fly away from the dead body.

This is called: the canine sight ceremony.

Before the Zoroastrian deceased is buried, there are several canine viewing ceremonies. Dog inspections are performed when the deceased is dressed in a shroud, and every once in a while thereafter. Until the body is removed from the morgue. After the first dog sight, a fire is lit in the room to detoxify it, and it is burned with sandalwood and frankincense. The priest sat at the fire and chanted the sutra and watched over the fire until the dead body was sent to the cemetery.

Others may also chant in the morgue, but they should be at least three steps away from the dead body to avoid the dangers of demonic poison.

The scriptures say just as they are right now.

The prince and the princess, one believes in Buddhism, and the other worships fire.

Although the beliefs are different, they end up on the same day. Is it a coincidence, or is there another reason?

What grievances and grievances are there between the two, and where is the third bone fragment?

Now that people are dead, the lights are out, and all kinds of questions are unknown.

After thinking about it, it was only exchanged for a long sigh.

Is it being tricked again?
