No one at the scene spoke, and even the wind on the mountain seemed to have died suddenly. Surrounded by dark ghost fires, there are several white lanterns suspended above the Taoist temple.
The motherless girl stood on a high place, looking at us like a ghost.
Don't look at me as I'm in a state of ecstasy now, but I can still feel fear and fear, trembling very badly, this fear is deep in the bone marrow.
When it was extremely silent, the deep mountains in the distance suddenly sounded inexplicably, the sound was connected, the sound was ethereal, and it was so far away that people were distracted.
Xie Ling was stunned, pinched his fingers, and his face changed: "It's not good, it's the time of the child." ”
The three of us looked at each other with indescribable expressions on our faces. It's a little wrong when I think about it, the time when we appear in front of the childless mother at the moment, just stuck in the middle of the night, will be missed by a minute late or early.
Li Damin's mind was spinning, and he immediately said: "Could it be that our appearance at this moment is already in the dark?" ”
The childless old mother said: "Three distinguished guests, follow me into the view." ”
She floated down from the sedan chair, holding a white lantern, her feet did not hit the ground, her feet floated, and she walked towards the Taoist temple step by step.
The three of us looked at each other, Xie Ling and Li Damin followed behind her, and I had to follow in.
Those green ghost fires didn't seem to be able to enter the Taoist temple, and they were surging like a dark green sea at the gate, dotted with stars, and extremely weird.
Entering the courtyard of the Taoist temple, the old mother of no life stood still with a lantern, looked up at the eaves of the main hall, and her eyes fell on the three-legged incense burner in the courtyard. Three distinguished guests, please burn incense and come to the view. ”
Li Damin whispered: "Brother Xie, what should I do?" ”
I speak in my heart, you were pretending to be the boss just now, and now you are finished with calves, and you still have to look at the bell.
Xie Ling said: "Come, Ann." Enter the house to call people, enter the temple to worship the gods, since you have come, then follow the customs. ”
He walked over to the offering table, took a stick of incense from it, turned it upside down and put it into a burning tin box. After a while, the incense burns. He stood in front of the censer, bowed three times to the main hall, and then inserted the incense into the censer.
Li Damin went over for the second time, and he also plugged in incense as he learned to untie the bell.
When I was the last one to take the incense, I felt like the whole yard was looking at me.
My heart was pounding, thinking to myself what was going on, how could I have encountered all kinds of strange things by chance in a small piece of my company.
The childless old mother saw that we had incense, and walked lightly to the main hall, and the three of us followed.
As soon as I entered, I felt that something was wrong, and the last time I visited, the main hall was covered with curtains hanging from the ceiling, and many areas were obscured. This time, the curtain was gone, revealing the contents of the entire main hall.
In the middle of the main hall is a shrine, on which sits a statue of Maitreya Buddha more than two meters high. This Maitreya Buddha is very delicately cultivated, sitting on a lotus leaf of a stone, and below it is a pool of deep water. It's really water, and you can still hear the sound of the water. Maitreya Buddha smiled often, his left and right hands were knotted with fingerprints, a pair of eyes were very weird, with the whites of his eyes, looking down, his expression had an indescribable calmness, as if there was something very dark hidden behind the smile.
The lifeless old mother said: "Maitreya came into the world and purified all sentient beings." The three distinguished guests can know what happened to my White Lotus at the opening of the altar in the Pure View tonight. ”
Xie Ling was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know, please ask my mother for advice." ”
The lifeless old mother said: "According to the record in the "Confession of the Pure Land of Rebirth", Maitreya should be born in the present dynasty. My lifeless mother is one of the White Lotus apologists, and it is my responsibility to find and protect Maitreya. As mentioned in the book, tonight, when a distinguished guest comes to the door, take me out of the mountain and into the world. So it will fall on the three of you. ”
"Out of the mountain, what do you mean?" Li Damin asked.
The lifeless old mother said: "I am inspired by the sheep bone to practice the essence of the sun and the moon, and the spirit body can only be limited to this mountain, and cannot go out to enter the red dust world, so I have to rely on one of the three to help." ”
Xie Ling smiled: "Do you think we will take you out of the mountain?" ”
The childless old mother was originally a little girl, very short, holding an oversized white lantern, and looked at him cutely: "Why not? ”
Xie Ling said: "I am a very honest person, if there is anything to say in front, I do not agree with the concept of your religion, so I will not take you out of the mountain to find Maitreya in the world." Now it's in your hands, and you want to kill or chop at will. ”
The childless old mother looked at him and said seriously, "Why should I kill you?" It was all voluntary to take me out of the mountains, and I have seen many tough people who say they don't believe in this or that, they are the same as you, but they lack a chance to get started. Now, I'm going to enlighten the three of you. ”
At this time, the main hall was empty, the night wind blew in, and only the gurgling sound of water under the lotus seat of Maitreya Buddha could be heard.
The only lighting object now is the white lantern in the hands of the childless old mother, which glows with a ghostly light.
"How do you want to enlighten us?" Li Damin asked.
The lifeless old mother turned to face Maitreya Buddha and said loudly: "Few people know about the two worlds, it is easy to cultivate and live without suspicion, the dust has not been removed to seek liberation, and I believe in the wish to read the Buddha." ”
As soon as the words fell, the hand of the Maitreya Buddha statue, which had been bearing fingerprints, suddenly unfolded slowly and changed its gestures.
We were amazed by this change, this Maitreya Buddha was carved out of stone, and it seemed to come to life at this moment.
What's even more strange is that three white bewitching lotus flowers bloom in the palm of the Maitreya Buddha statue.
"Do you know what the core of White Lotus's cultivation is?" The childless mother asked us.
We discussed this issue, and Li Damin hesitated for a moment and said, "Visualization? ”
The lifeless old mother smiled lightly: "Visualize that there are ten meditation methods, and everyone can pass it. Cultivating my White Lotus Visualization, for example, if it is a dark room for a long time, a light shines on it, and it is clear. I'm going to show you what visualization is. ”
After saying this, her hand holding the lantern was released, and the lantern rose ethereally, flying to a height of about two or three meters above the ground, and was suspended in front of Maitreya Buddha.
We watched intently, and we didn't dare to breathe. In the faint light of the lantern, a phantom shadow appeared.
There is a faint figure shaking in the virtual shadow, how to describe it, it seems to be a 3D projection, and the people and scenery inside are translucent, some of them are dazzling, and they are full of noise.
"Is this visualization?" Li Damin was short of breath.
The lifeless old mother smiled: "This is just a supernatural power, not a visualization, you continue to watch." ”
Mountains appear in the shadows, and surrounded by mountains is a brand new house. It was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, and Xie Ling reminded softly: "Aren't these houses those abandoned dojos?" ”
I could see that we had come in from the ashram, which had become an abandoned house that had collapsed badly.
At this moment, the dojo in the shadow looks like it is newly built. I realized that the scene in the phantom must have happened decades ago, when the ashram was still around.
A room appears in the shadow, with the sun and moon painted on the walls.
In this phantom room, it was crowded with people at the moment, they were men, women, old and young, the oldest ones could be sixty or seventy years old, and the younger ones could be ten years old, all of them were uniformly dressed in black antique clothes, all of them were pious, and they should all be believers.
The believers sat cross-legged on the ground in a procession.
Behind the screen came three men in white robes, they were extremely serious, each holding a bowl in their hands, their mouths opening and closing, as if they were saying something to the believers. At this time, the phantom can only see the image, but cannot hear the sound.
After speaking, they picked up the bowl in their hands and grabbed it, and the bowl turned out to be white rice.
They walked slowly from the front of the line of believers to the rear, and as they went, they spilled the rice in their hands and sprinkled it all over the people around them.
After sprinkling the rice, they burned the charm on the offering table in front of them, put the black ash into the water, and poured cinnabar into it. Then take this bowl of water and drink it from the first believer until the last.
The three men spoke aloud, and the believers below changed into a special meditation posture, all sitting upright, with their eyes closed, as if they had entered a state of concentration.
Li Damin looked at him and said softly, "Is this the ritual of the Heaven and Earth, Sun, Moon and Star Sect?" What are they doing? ”
The childless old mother smiled: "Don't be impatient, continue to watch." ”
The area of the phantom slowly expanded, and the scene that appeared was no longer in the dojo, but in front of the well. As these people meditated and entered the state of concentration, the broken well seemed to be burning, and the water of the well boiled, and a large amount of smoke came out, which filled the mountains, which looked extremely strange.
"What do you see?" The childless mother asked.
Xie Ling gasped and came to his senses: "What are they doing to break through the enchantment? ”
The childless mother said, "Your world and the world here are not connected in the first place. The followers of the Heaven and Earth, Sun, Moon and Star Sect taught themselves the White Lotus Visualization, and the visualization ability of one person may be insignificant, but the mental power of a hundred people and a thousand people gathered here, opening up the passage between the two worlds. Seeing this, do you still question the visualization?! ”
She snapped her fingers, and everything vanished from the shadows, and the hanging white lantern fell with the wind and floated into her hand.
Li Damin's throat moved violently, and his heart fluctuated excitedly: "The method of White Lotus visualization, like a parallel computer, can link the human body and form a physical network. What a subtle method! What a subtle method! If a hundred people are still like this, if they have the ability to mobilize the power of a country, and hundreds of billions of people practice and meditate together, the power of mind is unimaginable! ”
"At that time, the door to the Pure Land World can be opened, which is why Maitreya Buddha came to the world." The childless mother said with a smile.
