Chapter 525: Ring the Vatican Bell

"Senior brother, this is what Master asked me to give to you!" The little monk in the temple walked over with a stack of things, "Master has an order, go down the mountain as soon as possible after receiving the things, don't waste time on the mountain, and just go up the mountain to see every festival and leisure time!" ”

Mu Yuan took those things and took a general look, a simple set of practice clothes, a scroll of ink dot paintings hanging on the wall all year round, a string of Buddhist beads bracelets, and a few worn Buddhist classics.

"This is ......" opened the book, and there were two documents inside, a Dharma disc and a temple commission letter.

"The temple was built with funds raised from the land, but the land belongs to the local government. According to the relevant laws and regulations, if the temples and Taoist temples are still carrying out religious activities and monks, nuns, and Taoist priests are still engaged in religious occupations during the land reform, although the monks, nuns, and Taoist priests are registered and receive ownership certificates during the land reform, they should be regarded as the monks, nuns, and Taoist priests who are registered as administrators, and are still public property and cannot be regarded as their private property. So, all you inherit is the right to manage and operate! Yi Youdao is quite familiar with this, "The Buddhist and Taoist circles practice autobiography, autonomy and self-support, and the temple can barely maintain it at present, but once it needs to be repaired, you have to put money inside!" ”

"Hmm!" Mu Yuan nodded, he was not worried about this, the cost of this small temple for a year was very limited, and it didn't cost much. And this is the hard work of Handi, and he, the apprentice, has the obligation to take care of it.

Mu Yuan took out a stack of money from his pocket, about more than 10,000 yuan, and handed it to the little monk of the temple.

"Senior brother, save this money first, I will come over often in the future, and tell me if you have anything to add!"

"Yes!" The little monk is together, he and Mu Yuan are like family, so naturally they are not polite, "Senior brother, how do you take the bell that Master explained?" The workers are preparing to tear it down! ”

"Wait, I'll ring the bell before I tear it down!"

A crowd of people flocked to the bell pavilion, where seven or eight shirtless men were standing, and outside the pavilion was a cast iron bell of similar size, which had just been carried up from the bottom of the mountain by several workers.

There are two kinds of bells in the temple, one is the calling bell, which is relatively small, and is generally hung in the corner of the Buddhist hall, which is used to gather the monks in the temple or make notices. The other is the Brahma bell, and the bell pavilion is hung is the Brahma bell, the Brahma bell hits twice a day in the morning and evening, each in the temple before the monks do morning classes and before the lights go out at night. But after the bell was hoisted, it rang only when Makihara was on the mountain, once with the sunrise and once with the sunset.

In the "Baizhang Qing Rules", it is said: "The introduction of the pestle should be slow, and the voice should be long, and all the three links are thirty-six times each, and the total is one hundred and eighteen." That is to say, there is a doorway to hit the bell, you should hit it slowly with a pestle, don't be in a hurry, let the sound of the bell be long, hit it three times, 36 times each time, a total of 108 times. Buddhism believes that there are 108 kinds of afflictions in life, and when you strike the bell 108 times, these 108 kinds of afflictions disappear.

At this time, it was almost dusk, and Makihara walked to the wooden pestle hanging horizontally, holding the pestle in one hand and the rope in the other, and slammed it towards the giant bell with all his strength. Gradually, Mu Yuan's tears welled up again, he forgot to count, forgot to chant the scriptures in his heart, and just blindly swung the wooden pestle to hit the giant bell.

Yi Youdao gently pulled Xuan Wuli, the latter also had a dignified face, the sound wave echoed, impacting Mu Yuan's body, only they and Yu Ruochuan and his wife could see it, a heavy black gas floated out of Mu Yuan's body, and then converged in, Mu Yuan's eyes slowly turned into a cloud of black, and then a piece of red.

As Mu Yuan swung the last blow with all his might, the bell actually resonated, and the sound of "buzzing" never dissipated, just when everyone was stunned, the giant bell broke with a "bang", and the pieces made of pig iron were scattered all over the ground.

This bell is so thick, I'm afraid it will be difficult to smash with a hammer, but now it was broken by Mu Yuan with a wooden pestle, maybe all this came too suddenly, and everyone was stunned all of a sudden.

After a full minute, Mu Yuan slowly squatted down, his eyes as red as blood staring at the pile of broken iron. Niwa jumped off his shoulder and jumped into the pile of debris, his little claws scratching desperately, but unfortunately the iron was too heavy for it to move, and the two little claws scratched weakly in the gaps, as if trying to get in.

"Master, it's okay, it's easier to take it down if it's broken!" The crayfish comforted, "Wait until you go down the mountain, let my dad find a better master and recast it!" ”

Makihara ignored the crayfish, and quickly pulled aside a few pieces of iron on it, until a strange, dark piece of iron appeared in the middle. A white shadow flashed, but it was Niwa who pounced on it, clutching the fragment, its eyes narrowed into a slit, and its jaw kept rubbing against it.

"Sister, is that a baby?" Jiang Danxin asked strangely.

"What a baby, isn't it just a piece of scrap metal!"

Mu Yuan reached out and picked up the piece of iron, this thing is the size of half a brick, I don't know what material it is, it doesn't weigh a pound, you must know that such a large volume of steel is more than this weight. Seeing that Niwa was still holding the iron tightly, Mu Yuan was even more surprised, I'm afraid that this Niwa has two or three catties, could it be that this is air? But what kind of air can still produce weight? Could it be a suspended material that defers gravity?

"Brother Muyuan sent it this time!" Long Ling'er sighed and said sourly.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Bixue asked with a confused expression.

"Stupid!" Long Ling'er said contemptuously, "That foodie's vision is high, don't you see it hugging so tightly!" ”

"Could it be...... This...... It's the Stygian Iron! Jiang Danxin suddenly thought of something, and said dumbfounded, "Such a big piece? ”

"Stygian Iron!" Everyone else was startled and rushed up.

Dark iron is a high-density material, and the small piece of dark iron that I took out last time is not much bigger than my thumb, it is enough to weigh three or two, such a big piece, it doesn't cost five or six catties.

"This is what the master left to the master, and the rest of the master is mine!" The crayfish was in a hurry, and without saying a word, he reached out and snatched the iron in Muyuan's hand, "Oops! ”

"Bang!" The piece of iron fell off the crayfish's hand and slammed into the ground.

"This ...... Why is this thing so heavy! ”

"I'm not too heavy, if you're afraid of it, give it to me!" Jiang Bixue pushed the crayfish aside and bent down to pick it up, but she didn't "pick up" the thing after a few efforts.

"This thing is heavy?" Makihara asked in amazement.

"Oh, this ...... At least fifty pounds! Jiang Bixue finally picked up the iron block, "Little senior brother, you ...... How strong you are, you can hold up one hand! ”

"No!" Mu Yuan stretched out his hand and took it, and gently checked it, "It seems to be only a few taels, half a catty?" ”

"What half a catty, I'm afraid it's a hundred catties!" The crayfish shook her arm, she was not mentally prepared just now, but she shook her so lightly that she almost flashed her waist.

"Little brother, I'll try!" Jiang Danxin walked over and moved with great effort, "Well, my sister is right, it's almost fifty catties!" ”

"Forty pounds!" Long Ling'er tried it and reported a number.

"It's more than thirty!" Xingtian also tried it, "More than thirty, less than forty catties, I have a lot of strength, and I feel similar to Ling'er!" ”

Seeing that the beloved piece of iron was turned around by several people, but it was so anxious that Niwa kept running around under the feet of several people, and as soon as the piece of iron landed, it pounced again, and its four little paws were gathered together, for fear of being snatched away.

"Is there such an evil sect?" Yi Youdao and several people also came over, squatting in front of the iron block and looking at it, "Little thing, you go first, no one will rob you!" ”

"This thing is more than fifty pounds, at least eighty pounds!" Ning Caichen put down the iron block and patted the rust on his hands, "I have been grabbing medicine all year round, and I have a quasi-head on my hands!"
