When Wang Xuance took over the ruler, he also measured it carefully in the previous way. This measurement also made everyone's eyes widen, staring at the results of his measurement, only to see that this week had gathered around him and read out the measured data loudly: "1 foot 6 inches 8 minutes long, 5 inches 7 minutes wide"

Hearing this result, everyone's eyes widened again and they were overjoyed. Through this comparison of the length of the footprints, in short, it means that Wang Xuance's blessing is the greatest.

"Wang Changshi, if you are really a good person, this blessing is also the greatest among everyone," Master Yuanrong said to them with a happy face.

"The master has won the award, all this is destined by heaven, I am waiting for this time to pay tribute to the Buddha, so there will be such merits, thank you for the master's blessing" Wang Xuance humbly bowed. Immediately, the personnel of both sides exchanged warm greetings.

At this time, I only heard Wang Xuance request: "Although Master Xuanzang also brought in the imprint of this Buddha's footprint after returning to the east, it is very different from our group, I don't know if we can make the next rubbing, bring this Buddha's footprint into my Tang Dynasty, for believers to watch and respect."

"Wang Changshi can have such good thoughts to promote Buddhism, and he is also happy to be tight, this Buddha's footprint is for believers to see, of course." Master Yuanrong happily agreed to the proposal of Wang Xuance and the others.

So, this week, Chen and the others immediately found this rice paper, brown brush, ink, rubbing bag and other items. Speaking of this rubbing process, it can be said to have a long history in the land of China, and at that time, as long as the literati who knew a little bit of pen and ink, they basically knew this rubbing technology.

I saw that this week, with the assistance of Chen Maocai, after a sincere salute, the clearest pair of Buddha footprints were scrubbed clean with water. Then a complete piece of rice paper was placed on top of the Buddha's footprints. Then he used a soft brush to smooth the rice paper on the imprint of the Buddha's footprints. On the one hand, the bubbles under the paper are expelled, and on the other hand, the paper is closely matched with the footprints of the Buddha.

Then, with a bristle brush, he gently tapped the rice paper, causing part of the paper to sink in, showing this clear imprint of the Buddha's footprints. Then, I saw that Chen Maocai took a rubbing bag casually, lightly dipped in ink, and evenly smeared the paper clearly, so when the paper was dry, he took off this rubbing, and suddenly the clear Buddha footprint imprint was perfectly presented on this paper.

Although Master Xuanzang has also come to this Buddha Shadow Temple before, he has never obtained rubbings here, and there has never been paper in these five Indias, so for Master Yuanrong, not only does he not know what this rubbing technique is, but he also feels that these are all fresh. When they saw Wang Xuance and others so magically rubbing this Buddha's footprint imprint on this paper, they were also quite surprised. Later, at their request, this week, Chen and the others left this rubbing technique in this Buddha Shadow Temple......

Since then, the footprints of the Buddha in the Buddha Shadow Temple have been brought back to the Tang Dynasty by Wang Xuance and others......

With the imprint of this Buddha's footprint, the rubbing is completed. I only heard this Yuanrong Master smile and said: "Wang Changshi, since this is the case, there is an old monk to lead you into this Buddha Shadow Cave to have a look, how about it?" ”

"It's so good, I'll wait for this salute and observation." Wang Xuance was also quite pleased to accept the invitation of Master Yuanrong.

After everyone entered the Buddha Shadow Cave in turn under the leadership of Master Yuanrong, they found that although the entrance of this cave is not big, the cave is not small, and the area is about three zhang square. This is in the grotto, there are also a lot of small Buddha shrines, this Buddha shrine is naturally filled with Buddha statues, carefully pondered and the outside of the carving process is basically the same, but also lifelike, vivid.

"This is the Buddha Shadow Cave, and many of the Buddha statues in it were carved by the Great Dragon King at that time." Venerable Yuanrong explained this to them as he led them to a stone on the northernmost side of the Buddha Shadow Cave.

This stone is also strange, in this Buddha Shadow Cave, the others are flat and smooth, and the light is smooth and smooth, but only this irregular stone stands in the center of the north in a unique position. With the guidance and guidance of Master Yuanrong, everyone also came to this stone.

"This stone, in this place, has a small crevice, and this crevice leads all the way to the inside of this mountain stream. Of course, if you close one eye and pass through this gap, if you pay sincere respect, or if the power of the Buddha's wish is very great, you can see the shadow of the Buddha, and the more sincere the heart, the clearer the shadow of the Buddha will be. With the direction of Master Yuanrong's words and fingers, everyone also saw this gap. This gap is not large, only about 20 centimeters long, half a finger wide.

Therefore, the first thing to observe this Buddha shadow is naturally Wang Xuance, who has the greatest blessing, and I saw that he slowly closed his eyes after sincerely saluting under the guidance of Master Yuanrong. When he peered through the small slit. Taken aback, he shook his head and rubbed his eyes to make himself more sober.

Of course, his scene also made everyone stunned, only to hear Zhou Zeng ask with a surprised expression: "Big brother, what's wrong?" See? ”

Wang Xuance didn't care about replying to his words, continued to close one eye, and looked inside through this small gap, sure enough, I saw that in this small gap, I saw that there was a small Buddha shrine about one foot square inside, and in this Buddha shrine, there was a Buddha with golden light, sitting upright in this Buddha shrine, like a real person, clear and natural, lifelike. Then he said to everyone in surprise: "I saw it, I saw it, it was very clear"

So, this week, Zeng also hurriedly squeezed over, and as he thought about it, he looked inside along the gap, and then shouted loudly with great joy: "I saw it, I saw it, the image of the Buddha inside is very clear, just like a real person."

And Chen Maocai, hearing that the two of them had also seen this clear image of the Buddha, immediately hurried over and looked inside. Indeed, it was exactly what they saw, and they were immediately overjoyed.

Hearing him say this, this harmony master was also surprised, he was in this Buddha Shadow Temple, although he often came to watch, but the number of times he could see this clear Buddha shadow was very rare, and he never thought that the Tang Dynasty's mission would be able to see this Buddha shadow for the first time. So I hurriedly gathered together, and looked inside through this gap, and it was really like this. Immediately, he led his disciples, knelt on the ground, and made these three kneels and nine bows to the Buddha. I made a wish to preach the Dharma......
