Chapter 192: The Buddha's Dream
This idea should have been given to me by Hui Ling at the last moment.
I was a little confused: how could it be this dust-free place? What exactly is a dust-free place?
Now Hui Ling, the situation seems to be very bad, I don't know why there are many souls exactly like her who are competing for her.
The point is, she didn't tell me where it was, just said that it was in a dustless place, which made people very embarrassed. Who knows what dust-free is?
And let me save people, and I don't understand, who went to the trouble to come here to guess dumb riddles?
Bai Zhi saw that my face was not very good, and asked me in a low voice, "How is it?" ”
I sighed, "Not very good. ”
Bai Zhi wondered, "How can it not be good? Don't you see Hui Ling? ”
I sighed and said, "I see it, but it's no different from not seeing it." I didn't get anything. ”
Then, I told you what I had just said.
After listening to this, Bai Zhi nodded slowly: "Actually, this is not difficult to solve." ”
I'm not interested in his bad ideas now.
And Bai Zhi said to himself: "I have a hunch that we have reached the core area of Dustless Mountain. If you look at the houses around you, they are obviously from many years ago, but they are not decayed, and there is not even any dust. What does this mean? ”
I looked at him wonderingly, "What does this mean?" ”
Bai Zhi said: "This shows that the people on the dustless mountain often come and go here, and every time they come out, they will clean it with their hands, even if they don't clean it, as long as there are people in and out of the house, it will not be bad." ”
I nodded: "You have a point, you've been here for so long, and you've finally said something useful." ”
Bai Zhi coughed dryly: "So, I think we have reached the periphery of the Dustless Mountain, what we need is an opportunity, as long as we find this opportunity, we can really enter the Dustless Mountain." ”
"From the periphery, access to its core secrets."
I nodded.
Bai Zhi pointed to the surrounding houses and said, "I think that inside those houses, there is an entrance to the Dustless Mountain, why don't we go and have a look?" ”
I nodded.
The houses here may seem like a lot, but they can be divided into three parts.
Each part has a tall house as the main house, and the other houses linger around like a foil.
We walked into the first complex.
This is a Confucian theme.
In the middle of the house is a tablet: Dacheng Holy Ancestor.
Bai Zhi sighed: "This is Confucius." ”
I nodded.
Among the surrounding houses, there are seventy-two sages, Mencius, Xunzi, and Zhu Xi......
Some are just tablets, and some have idols.
Bai Zhi said: "In the dust-free place, these Confucians are all bright and fair, which can be regarded as dust-free, right?" ”
I shook my head: "That's not necessarily, I heard that Confucius once went to see Nanzi, and no one knew what he did......"
Bai Zhi waved his hand: "Okay, I know, they are rotten from the roots, right?" ”
I said, "Let's just discuss this in private, don't let the master of Chinese culture hear it, otherwise, it will ruin the two of us." ”
Bai Zhi sighed.
The two of us entered the second complex.
The second architecture is Taoism.
Counting from the beginning of the Yellow Emperor, Lao Tzu, Zhuangzi, and Lu Dongbin, Han Xiangzi, and Chen Tong, who became immortals later, ......
There are also tablets, and there are statues.
Bai Zhi said: "What does this dustless mountain believe in? It's Confucianism and Taoism. Taoists advocate quiet and inaction, they are dust-free, right? ”
I shook my head: "Not necessarily. Taoism and Taoism are not the same thing in the first place. Taoism is just a pretense of the name of the Taoist. ”
"Look at the statues of the gods enshrined here, there are all kinds of things, it's just chaotic, it's all about putting gold on your face. They haven't figured it out themselves, what is there to be dustless? ”
Bai Zhi sighed: "Isn't Taoism okay either?" ”
I said to Bai Zhi: "You can't talk about this outside, it is said that there is a group of Taoist supporters, who specialize in raising poles to scare people, so you have to be careful." ”
Bai Zhishen nodded approvingly.
The last complex, unsurprisingly is a Buddhist house.
In the middle is the Buddha. Surrounded by the gods and Buddhas of the Western Heavens, there are a variety of dazzling things.
Bai Zhi said: "I heard that there are four sayings in your world, which is that Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform. ”
Aren't these four sentences exactly the name of Dustless Mountain? It seems that the opportunity for us to enter the core is here. ”
"And the Buddhists say that the four are empty, they are the people who have the least desire, the most pure people."
I nodded, "That's right, but I always feel that something is wrong, is it too easy for us to find it?" ”
Bai Zhi frowned and said, "Really? Too easy, isn't it? How do I think we've gone through so much? ”
I said, "If it's really here in the Buddhist family, but there are so many buildings in this place, what is it?" ”
Bai Zhi pointed to the golden statue of Shakyamuni and said, "It should be here." ”
I nodded, "Well, it should be here." But...... How do we get in? ”
Bai Zhi jumped directly onto the offering table and reached out to grope for the statue of Sakyamuni: "There must be a switch on this, wait for me to find it." ”
I saw Bai Zhi touching his eyes and pulling his ears, and I couldn't help grinning: This ...... It's also blasphemous.
Bai Zhi fumbled around, and finally jumped off the offering table in disappointment.
He shook his head and said to me, "No, I can't find the mechanism." ”
I snorted.
Bai Zhi asked me in confusion, "What do you see?" ”
I pointed to a plaque on the beam and said, "Don't you think that plaque is a little strange?" ”
Bai Zhi said, "Is it strange? ”
I said, "Temples in general, especially the main hall dedicated to Shakyamuni, usually have the words Mahavira Hall written on them. But this one, how can it be written that Huangliang is a dream? ”
Bai Zhi glanced at it, and then sighed: "It's really true." ”
I said to Bai Zhi: "There must be something wrong with this plaque, it should be a hint." In the Golden Kui Sutra, there is indeed a way to fall asleep, perhaps this is a reminder for us to fall asleep. ”
Bai Zhi asked puzzledly: "Whose dream did you enter?" ”
I pointed to the idol of the god Nyorai.
Bai Zhi said, "Do the idols also have dreams? ”
I said, "Maybe, we can try." ”
Bai Zhi snorted.
I took out a candle and carved a charm on it.
Bai Zhi asked me curiously, "What is this candle for?" ”
I said, "It's a magic candle." Able to enhance hallucinations. ”
Bai Zhi said: "Do you dream with illusions? Isn't that still fake? ”
I said, "Hallucinations are very similar to dreams. And when the illusion is enhanced to a certain extent, it can be used as reality to let people in. ”
"How do you know that we are not living in an illusion now?"
Bai Zhi was stunned.
I lit the candle and stuck it in the candlestick.
I said to Bai Zhi, "You see, there are no candles on this candlestick, and I am sure they used to light magic candles before, and after the magic candles were lit, they went in with them." ”
After I lit the magic candle, the shadow of the Buddha statue was projected onto the wall.
At first, it was just a shadow.
After a long time, the shadow became fainter and fainter, and the things that were covered by the shadow slowly revealed.
There are pavilions and pavilions inside, faintly, and there seem to be human figures.
I said to Bai Zhi, "Why don't you try to go in?" ”
Bai Zhi glared: "Why me?" ”
I said, "You're a soul, and it's easier for you to get in." ”
Bai Zhi shook his head: "I don't go in, I want to go by yourself." ”
I sighed, "Okay, then I'll go in and see for myself." ”
I wasn't sure if my physical body would be able to get in, so I went out of my body first.
When my soul came out, I walked slowly towards the pavilions.
Soon, I felt a sudden light open up in front of me, and I had walked in.
In the pavilions, it seems that someone is preaching.
When I walked in, I realized that it was the Buddha who was debating with someone.
The rhetoric on both sides was fierce, and it seemed that they were about to make a move at any moment.
I wondered a little: Who was so bold as to dare to debate with the Buddha?
I looked at it for a while, and suddenly it became clear that the other party was a Brahmin.
The Buddha founded Buddhism to oppose the Brahmins.
And this is the Buddha's obsession.
Buddhist scriptures, no dust. But the Buddha is not.
