Chapter 175: There is no excuse for the sin that you want to add
The sky just got dark, the gate of the Big Buddha Temple was closed, the temple was very quiet, I and the poplar tree listened to it for a long time outside the wall, there was no human voice inside, which made us a little confused.
You know, there are at least more than 400 monks in the Big Buddha Temple, but now it is so quiet as if it is dead, and whoever is here will inevitably beat the drum in their hearts, we waited for a while, and there was still silence inside, so I had to take the poplar tree over the wall and enter.
It's not that I'm impatient, it's that I'm worried about whether something is wrong in the temple again.
The place where we entered was the back of the Guanyin Temple, from the outside, this majestic hall did not show any signs of damage, but after the poplar pried open a window, a burst of black ash suddenly scattered from the crack of the window, although it had been so long, the smell of burnt paste mixed with a smell of baking soda wafted out, and it was still very choking.
The taste of baking soda comes from the sodium bicarbonate filled in the dry powder fire extinguisher, if this thing has been used in the fire, the smell will be very pungent, but the dry powder fire extinguisher is often used to extinguish electric fire and oil fire, flammable liquid and electrified goods caused by fire, such as the fire of the wooden structure building of the Buddha Temple, the most effective way to extinguish the fire, should be high-pressure water gun.
With doubts in my heart, I went in with the poplar tree.
As soon as I entered the main hall, I couldn't help but be shocked, is this a Buddha hall? How does it look like a flaming hell with fire extinguished?
The scale of the whole Buddha hall is very large, dozens of meters long, more than ten meters high, there is a tall Bodhisattva statue on the left and right sides, from the majestic outline, you can vaguely imagine the style of the past. It's just that at this moment, all the Buddha statues have been burned to pitch black, and the golden outfit is no longer there, and the sacred breath is gone, but there is a dark and evil momentum, which makes people feel frightened.
At the end of the main hall of the black hole, there is a statue of Guanyin that has collapsed for most of it, and it is a thousand-handed and thousand-eyed Guanyin, half of the Buddha's body remains, but the palms behind him are still intact, almost covering the wall behind them, and there is a huge eyeball in each of the open palms, which looks like they are made of fluorite or something, and they still emit blue light after passing the fire.
Being stared at by these eyes, even me, was a little creepy.
With my mind settled, I slowly walked towards the statue of Guanyin.
The collapsed part of the statue has been cleaned up, but two clear marks have been left on the ground.
Although the outline of the mark was distorted, it was still vaguely distinguishable that it was two humanoids.
I squatted down and touched it, the slippery feeling between my fingers made me sure, this is the last mark left by the two monks who died here, after the human body was ignited by the fire, the oil in the body has not been burned out, it was buried under the collapsed Buddha statue, the flame was extinguished, and the oil overflowing from the corpse soaked into the floor tiles, leaving this kind of inexhaustible traces.
I frowned and wiped the putty off my hands, it seems that the news of the innkeeper is not accurate, these two monks were not stoned to death at all, they were already burned by the flames before they were smashed, and nine times out of ten they have already died.
What was the force that made it impossible for them to escape from the main hall beyond this short distance of a few tens of meters, and they were burned alive here?
The traces of fire in this hall look exactly the same as the meditation room of Zen heart.
It's no wonder that firefighters use dry powder fire extinguishers, which are obviously not extinguished by high-pressure water cannons.
According to common sense, such a fire should have burned down the hall a long time ago, but from the outside, it is still intact, if it is said that the Buddha appeared to protect the temple, but why are they unable to even support their own golden body?
I was scratching a little in my heart, the clues were in front of me, but I didn't have a clue.
As far as I know, there are no demons and ghosts who can commit murder in the thousand-year-old temple of the Big Buddha Temple, even if it is the rumored Taiping Holy Land, it is impossible for hundreds of monks in the Big Buddha Temple to be unaware, so that the Buddhist master like the abbot of Zen Heart is waiting to be killed.
The answer may fall on the prison master Zen Nian?
I waved at the poplar tree, ready to go find Zen.
But before I could go look for him, he had already found us.
Under the stone steps in front of the Guanyin Hall, I don't know when it was already full of monks holding Zen sticks.
At a glance, there were more than 100 people, which not only blocked the way between me and Yangshu, but also really caught us off guard.
I don't know how they managed to appear here quietly, it stands to reason that even if I didn't spread my senses, it was impossible for me not to hear any movement at such a distance from one hall to another.
But the facts are in front of you, maybe this is where the power of the Buddha Gate Great Array lies.
Almost at the same time as we appeared, these monks sitting cross-legged began to chant at the same time, the tin staff in their left hand tapped the ground, making a rattling sound, mixed with the sound of chanting like a tide, and a faint dark golden brilliance was born from each monk's body, gathering into a huge human head, covering us and all the monks underneath!
The huge human head kept turning, exuding a bright but not dazzling brilliance.
Being in the middle of it made me feel so angry that I felt the urge to sit down and chant with them!
Listening to the scriptures, they recited the mantra of the Bodhisattva of the Earth, and looked at the appearance, which was clearly the removal of obstacles in the six realms of the Jizo!
Jizo incarnates the six realms, crossing the six realms, and the one who crosses the humanity is called the Jizo in addition to the obstacles, and the Dharma is the tin staff in the left hand, and the knot and the wish seal in the right hand, which is known as the eight sufferings of humanity, birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment, love and parting, unbelievable, and five yin sheng.
I am not good at Buddhism, but I also know that the so-called overcoming the eight sufferings is to persuade people to become Buddhas.
But right now, their battle is not persuasion, but to use force!
This is really to overtake the posture of the two of us, and the formation of hundreds of people really gives me enough face!
Without waiting for me to speak, the head of Zen Nian recited a Buddha horn and stared at me: "Lord Yang, our temple and you have no grievances in the past, and there is no enmity in the near future, and the former abbot has also helped you, you want He En to take revenge!" ”
He is aggressive, I can bear it, he planted the blame, I can also bear it, but the sentence "former abbot" made me angry from the heart, the abbot of Zen heart is not cold, he can't wait to show his identity, is he in a hurry to replace him?
But after all, it was we who sneaked into the Big Buddha Temple first, although the fire was big, I still endured my anger and said: "Master Zen Nian, don't misunderstand, we are here to find out the cause of death of the abbot of Zen Xin......
Before I finished speaking, Zen Nian interrupted me with another Buddha horn: "Ming people don't do dark things, donors don't talk about sophistry anymore, although my temple is not a big temple, but not everyone can come and go freely, if it is not for the donor's strong skills, who can harm the life of the former abbot without us knowing!" ”
I scolded in my heart, Lao Tzu is also wrong?
If you want to say that the line is high, the Tao of Qingshuangtian is the highest, why don't you say that he killed the Zen heart?
But I can't say that.
After all, people didn't sneak into the Big Buddha Temple at night, and they blocked it......
When I was still thinking about how to explain, Zen Nian immediately stepped forward and asked loudly: "Now the poor monk only knows something, and he still wants to ask the donor to solve his doubts." ”
I frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"The former abbot went to Dasheng Palace with you, originally to cheer you on, he is kind enough to believe that the donor also understands, what the poor monk wants to know is that what did he do, offended the donor, so that the donor followed, killed him and refused to stop, and he was angry with the people in my temple?"
As soon as he said this, the monks who were chanting the scriptures spoke a little faster, although no one showed anger, but the anger was undoubtedly revealed, and even the huge human head turned faster and faster!
I didn't respond, but I couldn't help but squint.
It seems that I can't explain it this time.
This meditation didn't even give me a chance to explain, it was obviously planned to use me as a scapegoat.
As long as I am convicted of killing Zen Xin, he will naturally clear his suspicion, and as long as he successfully takes me down today, it will mean that he has avenged Zen Xin with his own hands, and he can inherit the position of abbot with peace of mind.
It's really a good calculation, killing two birds with one stone!
I couldn't help but sneer: "There is no excuse for the sin you want to add, Zen Nian, even if you want to find a scapegoat, you should keep your eyes open, find someone you can handle, and want to use our brothers as a stepping stone for your superiority, don't you think too beautiful?" ”
Zen Nian took a step forward expressionlessly: "Amitabha, how can I be a person in the Buddhist sect who is greedy for power." ”
"It seems that Master Yang doesn't plan to solve the confusion of the poor monk, so let's wait for you to be captured, and it's not too late to ask!"
I didn't say a word, and directly pulled out the wave knife in my bag!
With the lesson of Tianjin, I came here to deliberately carry the broken waves with me, and it took a lot of trouble to do so.
But for now, it seems that no matter how much trouble it takes, it's worth it!
"Amitabha, Yang Shizhu Mo Xiaoqiang, if you are willing to put down the butcher's knife today, the poor monk can protect your two lives without worry......"
I sneered even more, to put it nicely, even if I really put down the knife now, he would not be able to give me a chance to explain, and he just wanted to kill me directly, and as soon as I died, he could make up the charges at will.
Thinking of this, I exerted force in my hand, and a choking knife groan resounded through the night sky, penetrating the sound of chanting, forcing Zen Nian to take two steps back in a row, with a shocked face. The power of the broken waves, even the Peeling Ghost King can't stop it, let alone a Zen thought that has just entered the holy realm.
Some people may say that I am too impulsive, and that there is room for explanation, but I prefer to do it.
But if you are not in the game, you will never be able to appreciate the sense of oppression released by this Great Array of Hundred Monks' Dizang Heart Mantra.
At this moment, I have realized that if I don't break this formation, there is no possibility for me and Poplar to leave this place, so what else is there to say?
If he wants to fight, I will accompany him!
