Chapter 20 Relics of High Monks

Ning Zhiheng's mood at this time was extremely excited, this rosary bracelet was like a key to open the door to the mysterious world.

The Bodhi tree was his central secret, and he had a faint feeling that it was even more important than his life.

With the Bodhi tree, he has become fundamentally different from all sentient beings. It was also his first step into the mysterious world.

Holding the rosary bracelet tightly in his hand, he took a deep breath and quickly calmed down his emotions. He turned around and walked out of the side hall dedicated to Medicine Buddha and came to the main hall.

The monk saw Ning Zhiheng come in, smiled at him and said, "Donor, this Fahua Temple is in disrepair, so the donor smiles!" ”

This monk is not a snobbish person, but this incense is not prosperous, and the monks are barely living, and they are forced by this difficult day, so they have to hope that the believers and pilgrims can give more.

He originally wanted Ning Zhiheng to offer more incense money, but Ning Zhiheng began to be generous, but later he didn't seem to look down on the dilapidated Fahua Temple, which made the monk very embarrassed and helpless.

Ning Zhiheng raised his hand and raised the rosary bracelet in his hand, and asked in a harmonious voice: "I don't know which master's artifact this string of rosary is, can you allow me to visit in person?" ”

This rosary bracelet is certainly not ordinary, so its owner will also have something extraordinary. He felt that there was even the slightest possibility that he could not let go.

It may be possible to get more information from the owner and find more of the same artifact.

"This, this string of rosaries~~," the monk was a little puzzled when he saw the rosary in Ning Zhiheng's hand: "This seems to be Master Hongyuan's rosary, but Master Hongyuan passed away two years ago." ”

This Hongyuan monk is a very ordinary old monk in Fahua Temple. I have been practicing in ** temple. Until he was old and died, he was seriously ill and died, which can be said to be nothing surprising.

The monks have no long belongings, and even if they die, they have no valuable inheritance. There are only a few items to carry with you. This rosary bracelet is one of them, and no one pays attention to it on weekdays, but I didn't expect Ning Zhiheng to ask now, and he couldn't react at that time.

"It's a shame to pass away!" Ning Zhiheng was very disappointed when he heard this, "Then what relics did he leave behind, I have great respect for Master Hongyuan, and I want to invite a few more items he carries with me to worship." ”

The monk couldn't help but be a little funny, and said in his heart that Master Hongyuan's name was still what I just told you, where did he come from?

Besides, you want Master Hongyuan's relics as soon as you open your mouth, and what relics are left of this poor monk Master Hongyuan!

"Monks endure hardships and practice, and they have no long things. However, Master Hongyuan still left a few things, please wait. The monk made up his mind not to let the benefactor leave empty-handed.

He motioned for Ning Zhiheng to take a break, and after turning around, he took out another tray with a robe and a wooden fish on it.

In fact, when Ning Zhiheng opened his mouth to ask about the relics, he knew that there was little hope, an old monk who had passed away for two years had relics, and who would deliberately keep them.

Just like the rosary bracelet in your hand, it is not just a casual place to put it in an inconspicuous place and cover the dust.

If he hadn't mentioned it himself, it would have been forgotten by everyone a long time ago, where would this monk go to find it for a while.

The monk quickly took out the relics, the robe slurry was washed cleanly, and the surface of the wooden fish was still shiny.

Ning Zhiheng judged that it should be commonly used in ordinary times, and I am afraid that the possibility of being a relic of that Hongyuan master is very small.

He didn't say anything, but still reached out and took it with a glimmer of hope. As he expected, neither relic had any sense.

He said with a somewhat unhappy face: "It seems that there is still no chance, so it won't be troublesome." ”

The monk has been dealing with pilgrims all year round, and he is naturally a good person. Seeing that Ning Zhiheng's face was not good-looking, his heart suddenly became empty.

To be honest, there are any relics of Master Hongyuan, but they are just taken at hand to replenish the number. It's all personal belongings anyway. Is it still possible to tell the truth from the fake?

However, this benefactor is really aware of it, and it is obvious that there has been a great change in attitude.

Ning Zhiheng didn't say much, he had already gained something today, and he was already very satisfied.

He directly took out a stack of banknotes and put them in the merit box, which was naturally the incense money strung out for the rosary in his hand.

The monk was still a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to talk.

But seeing that this was another stack of big bills into the merit box, I was immediately full of joy, and that bit of embarrassment had already been thrown out of the clouds.

"Amitabha Buddha, the donor is sincere and dedicated, and does great merit, the Buddha will surely bless you, eliminate danger and difficulties, and everything will be fine!" Put your hands together and bow deeply.

Ning Zhiheng didn't say anything and returned the salute. He turned around and walked out of the temple.

The monk looked at Ning Zhiheng's back with some doubts, although this pilgrim was young, he had a calm temperament, and his demeanor and speech brought him inexplicable pressure.

And the rosary bracelet was obviously not a precious thing. But he didn't care about giving away a lot of money.

"Doesn't he look like an antiquities dealer?" He muttered to himself.

At this time, when he had been sitting in front of the Buddha statue and chanting sutras, the old monk opened his eyes and said slowly: "This is a layman with cultivation, and he is a man of great wisdom!" ”

The monk looked at the master, who had always been silent, and suddenly said this, and was suddenly a little dazed.

Ning Zhiheng didn't want to delay for a moment, went out to call a rickshaw, and rushed back home.

When I entered the door, I locked the door and took out the prayer bead bracelet and looked at it carefully.

He needed to find out which part of the rosary bracelet would bring about a strange change in his Bodhi tree.

He dismantled the rosary bracelets one by one. First, he tried to sense each rosary, and sure enough, as he thought, these were all hardwood materials, and there was nothing abnormal about them.

In the end, only the section of the hoop was left, ordinary, about three centimeters long, and the color was dark yellow. It's no different from ordinary beaded ornaments.

When he held the joint in his hand, he finally experienced that feeling again.

Thoughts were unconsciously sucked into the consciousness platform in his mind, the sound of chanting became louder and louder, and the crystal green light emitted by the Bodhi tree became more and more vigorous.

His consciousness projection sat cross-legged as usual, and as he chanted, the Bodhi tree swayed gently, and a small green leaf slowly gathered on the branch, which kept growing and growing.

After a long time, Ning Zhiheng stopped chanting. As soon as he opened his eyes, he looked up at the Bodhi tree, and what caught his eyes was exactly what he wanted to see.

There was one more green leaf on the branch, and now there were seven green leaves in total. It's just that this green leaf is much smaller than the original six. However, it is still growing, and it should soon grow exactly like the other six.

However, he found a problem that without him reciting the scriptures, the green leaves would grow so slowly that they would be almost imperceptible.

But if he recites the sutra at the same time, the green leaf will grow much faster.

It seems that the growth of the Bodhi tree still has a lot to do with Ning Zhiheng himself. After all, this is his consciousness space, his home field.

The Bodhi tree is also dependent on his spiritual world, or is it based on his will.

At this moment, a crystal light appeared under the Bodhi tree, floating gently in front of Ning Zhiheng's body.

What is it? This is exactly the same as yesterday when Yuki Yanagida's spiritual light group appeared. Could this also be a group of memories?

Ning Zhiheng, like yesterday, stretched out his finger to touch the light cluster, and at that moment, the light cluster instantly collapsed, turning into countless pictures, like a slide in front of Ning Zhiheng quickly played and flashed.

This is an ancient monk's experience, but the difference is that the images are far more detailed than the few screenshots of Yuki Yanagida.

An orphan born at the end of the Tang Dynasty and taken in by wandering monks. Then he wandered the world and went through suffering.

Finally, he settled in Luoyang Canaan Temple and spread Buddhism. Gradually, the fame spread, and eventually he became a contemporary monk.

This master of bitter wisdom lived to be eighty-eight years old, which was definitely a very long old age in his time.

When incinerated after death, 14 relics were obtained. Now the hoop in Ning Zhiheng's hand is one of the fourteen relics.

Originally, these 14 relics were enshrined and stored in the Canaan Temple. But later, in the war, the Canaan Temple was destroyed, and these fourteen relics were scattered and lost.

The relic was taken away by the monks at the time and placed on the rosary bracelet. Over the years, it has been passed to the hands of the monk Hongyuan of Fahua Temple.

Now that it is finally in Ning Zhiheng's hands, the pictures show the origin of this relic clearly.

Then these pictures turned into countless crystal points of light and flew towards the Bodhi tree, instantly blending into it.

The linden tree suddenly fluttered happily without wind. The seventh green leaf on that branch was finally fully formed.

However, this did not end there, and a new green leaf bud began to condense on the branches, and it was clear that this relic brought great benefits to the growth of the Bodhi tree.

Ning Zhiheng could clearly feel that the relics contained a lot of energy, and they still needed to be slowly absorbed in the future.

As for why the relics convey so many more memories than Yuki Yanagida's?

Ning Zhiheng guessed that this should be due to the weak spiritual energy of Yanagida Yuki, and it was forcibly absorbed by the Bodhi tree, so there were very few memories that could be transmitted.

But the relics are different, Ning Zhiheng can clearly sense that there is an extremely huge amount of spiritual energy contained in this relic bone, after all, this is the essence of a generation of monks' lifelong Buddhist practice, which is completely different from ordinary people.

The spiritual imprint attached to it incarnates the situation of countless points of light rushing to merge into the Bodhi tree, just like a child who has been wandering for many years returns to his mother's arms and finally finds his own home. It's completely voluntary!

The difference between the two is huge!

Exit the space of consciousness and return to the real world. Carefully examining the relics in his hands, he found that the original dull and dusky color had obviously changed, and now the relics have obviously become milky white and shiny.

Now even an ordinary person can see that this is not an ordinary thing, just like a Cinderella has shed her ordinary disguise and transformed into a beautiful and moving appearance.

He found a sturdy string and tied the relics around his neck. Put it on the inside of your clothes and wear it close to your body, so that you can absorb the energy in it at any time.

This harvest is too big, and the growth of the linden tree has a clear direction. The next thing just needs to be to move on along this line.

Find enough treasures that contain the spiritual energy of Buddhist monks. Ning Zhiheng believes that the Bodhi tree will eventually grow to a qualitative extreme, and it will definitely bring him a huge surprise at that time!
