Chapter 66: The Buddhist Temple Makes a Vow

"Li Wenji, come here, stay away from him."

"It's you! What a hateful person, he should have kicked you out in the first place, the wrong mind, the retribution projected by the stars! Now I'll get rid of you. The mysterious man said, and took out a strange weapon out of thin air to slash at Leng Yueyun, only to see Leng Yueyun shouted, took out a weapon that seemed to be excited and shot it, poor Li Wenji couldn't dodge, and ended the nightmare in a panicked shout.

The sound of rapid breathing and shouting alarmed Aunt Wang downstairs, "Xiaoji, are you okay, are you having a nightmare again?" Aunt Wang shouted, "Get up quickly, it's noon, come down to eat, don't go hungry." ”

"Okay, come down right now." Li Wenji thought that it was a dream, wiped the sweat on his head, and quickly got dressed and went downstairs.

When Li Wenji arrived downstairs, the meal was already on the table, three dishes and one soup, and the aroma was fragrant. It's just that Li Wenji's grandfather is missing, and he is strange and asks, "Aunt Wang, where is grandpa?" Has he eaten it? ”

"Oh, your grandfather left early in the morning." Aunt Wang looked at him and said, "He went to the Stone Buddha Temple to repay his wish, and he couldn't contact you before, so he went to the temple to petition you to return safely, and this wish was not fulfilled." ”

"Oh, as far as I know, the Stone Buddha Temple is on the mountain, is he physically able to eat?" Li Wenji questioned, "There are still ...... When did he start to become a Buddhist, I have to go and see after dinner. ”

"Your grandfather started to go to the temple to worship the Buddha very early, you rarely went home before, and you were away all the year round, how do you know about your grandfather." Aunt Wang complained, "Your grandfather also carved a Buddha statue from the meteorite he once found beside you, and put it in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall in the temple, and he has to go there once a month, and he is very accurate." ”

Li Wenji was a little puzzled when he heard the meteorite, and was about to continue to ask questions when Li Rui's voice came from outside the door: "Wenji, what are you eating?" What do you think? It's not hurt, you guy, you're missing. ”

Li Rui is Li Wenji's playmate, thin and tall, joined the team after dropping out of school, and after recovery, he followed his old classmates to sit in the antique business, and was happy in Sichuan and Tibet, and met his girlfriend, but because of the pressure of his parents in a different place, he was gone, and he was depressed for a while, and then he got better with Li Wenji.

"Li Rui, have you eaten, why don't you eat here." Aunt Wang said kindly, "I'll go and serve you dinner." ”

"Ah, don't, don't, Aunt Wang, I've already eaten, this time I'm mainly here to see Wenji, and I'll have to go back when I turn back." Li Rui stopped Aunt Wang and said.

"Alright! Go in such a hurry! Then you go slowly, I won't send it," Li Wenji said strangely.

"Wenji, don't mind too much, I also have a hard time, I will want you to explain it in the future, I have to hurry up and leave first."

Li Wenji at the dinner table fell into deep thought, and after listening to Li Rui's words, he couldn't help but think of the nightmare just now, and then he couldn't help but tremble, and his heart was inexplicably panicked. After eating, Li Wenji helped Aunt Wang clean up the tableware, and then took a taxi to Shifo Temple to find his grandfather.

Haizhou is more than 40 kilometers away from the Stone Buddha Temple, and it is true that he rarely comes back before, and Li Wenji does not know his grandfather and does not know the surroundings of his hometown, so Li Wenji looked up the information of the Stone Buddha Temple on the Internet while watching along the way.

The ancient temple of the stone Buddha was founded in the second year of the Yuan Emperor, there are more than 700 years from now, the incense was prosperous in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Buddhist believers spread all over the north and the south, it was a famous temple in Huaibei, there was a day to be worshiped by thousands of people, the scene of ten thousand lamps at night. It was later destroyed in the war, in order to promote Buddhist culture and satisfy tens of millions of believers. In 07 years, the south gate of the Stone Buddha Temple began to expand, and now the stone Buddha Temple is built with the Yishan Giant Buddha, the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the Shanmen archway, the inner and outer squares are the central axis, and the two sides are divided into the Manjushri Palace, the Fuxian Palace, the Guanyin Palace, the Dizang Palace, the Jialan Palace, the Patriarch Hall and the East and West Supporting Rooms and Palaces.

Before arriving at the temple gate, Li Wenji was stunned by the huge statue of Sakyamuni in front of him, which was already shoulder to shoulder high and 100 meters tall, compassionate and solemn, which made people feel pious and respectful.

Li Wenji entered from the small door on the left, passed through the stone statue of Maitreya Buddha in the middle square, and came to the door of the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

In the hall, Li Wenji's grandfather held three incense sticks in his hand, and after kneeling down, he stepped forward and inserted the incense in the middle of his hand in the furnace and recited: "Offering to the Buddha, feeling and not being confused." Then, he knelt down again, stepped forward and inserted the incense on the right side of his hand in the furnace and recited: "The offering method is good but not evil." Finally, after kneeling down, he stepped forward and planted the last stick of incense on the left side of the furnace and recited: "Offering to the monks, it is pure and unstained." ”

After the incense, Li Wenji's grandfather stood and knelt down in front of the Buddha, solemnly clasped his palms, respectfully saluted the Buddha, and whispered: "May this incense Huayun go straight to the Three Treasures Hall, plead for great mercy, and give a lifetime of happiness." ”

After the vow was completed, Li Wenji stepped forward and said to his grandfather: "If the Buddha has a spirit, may this life be blessed." ”

"Xiao Ji, why are you here?"

"I thought it was still the same old temple in the mountains, so I came to see you if I didn't worry." Li Wenji muttered, "I heard Aunt Wang say that you have a meteorite Buddha statue in the temple, where is it, I want to see it." ”

"Hmm...... It's in the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas, come with me. ”

The Ten Thousand Buddha Hall is behind the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the front and back of the Treasure Hall have a direct door, you can see it after passing through, the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall is under the lotus platform of the huge Shakyamuni Dharma Sitting Statue, crossing the high black retro threshold on the left and right sides, and the Buddha statue of Li Wenji's grandfather is offered in the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall on the right. After walking in, you will be greeted by solemnity, solemnity and respect. The small squares on the four walls are filled with Buddha statues, and under the golden light, it is as if the real Buddha has appeared in the world, and the Buddha's light is shining.

In the three columns and five rows on the right wall in front of the entrance door, a meteorite statue was found, a white statue as smooth as jade, not like a thing of red dust, and the luster made Li Wenji a little familiar, and he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

After Li Wenji's grandfather saw the meteorite statue, he clasped his hands together and recited as usual: "Lord Buddha, do not ask for forgiveness for my misery in this life, but ask for no harm to my children and grandchildren, only wish that I will experience hardships in my life, and return to my children and grandchildren in peace, and hope that the Buddha Lord will help his disciples get rid of evil in their hearts and be dedicated to good." ”

After listening to the clouds, Li Wenji really didn't understand what grandpa's words meant, it sounded like a heinous bad guy here pious confession, which made him feel a little angry, and it was difficult to make ......, so he asked: "Grandpa, although there is a gap between you and me, but it is not heinous, you have the grace to nurture me, and the car accident of my parents is only caused by an accident, and it has nothing to do with you, how can I say that I am guilty." ”

Previously, the old man had a rough description of his parents' car accident to Li Wenji, but Li Wenji thought that the old man was coaxing him, and he didn't take it seriously, but after all, he had nurturing feelings, and he was not ruthless and unjust.

Li Wenji's grandfather closed his eyes, took a long breath and said: "Maybe this is retribution, this matter is a long story, you have to start with the aunt you don't know and never meet, it is really bitter and sinful." ”。

"Auntie, I still have an aunt?" Li Wenjiti asked in disbelief with big eyes.
