Chapter Thirty-Nine: Love Blossoms Bear Zen Fruits
The people came to Shaolin and gave salutes after seeing Huo Yuanzhen.
Huo Yuanzhen also returned the salute and came to the front of the temple, and there was a vacant land in front of him, which was the place where Huo Yuanzhen had planned to build the bell tower.
Today Huo Yuanzhen has already decided, to show the miracle in front of everyone, anyway, the idea of building a token will disappear, and there is no need to hold it in his hand, and no one can see anything.
However, before the construction, it is still necessary to make an announcement.
Summoned all the Shaolin people and stood in front of the temple gate together.
Seeing such a scene, the people also realized that something might happen, and they gathered around, and Li Yuntian and Huang Xiaofu also stood in the crowd.
Huo Yuanzhen said to the surrounding crowd: "Donors, last night the poor monk got the Buddha's dream, saying that today will be in my Shaolin again to come to the bell tower miracle, seeing that the time is coming, so the poor monk led the Shaolin disciples to come to meet the Buddha's miracle, and the donors can also watch from the sidelines."
The crowd was boiling in an instant, and many people were so excited that they couldn't help themselves, including the Shaolin people behind Huo Yuanzhen, because except for Guan Shanyue, who had seen the mountain gate descend, the rest of the people had never seen the miracles of the Buddha.
Li Yuntian was also a little shaken in his judgment at this time, because this monk was too calm, could it be that this Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda was really given to Shaolin by the Buddha as the legend said.
And at this time, the monk's words have been spoken, if there is no miracle coming, then it will definitely be a fatal blow to the prestige of Shaolin, as long as this abbot's mind is fine, he will definitely not joke about this matter.
Looking at the time, it was seven to nine o'clock in the morning, and now it is more than half past seven, and the time is about the same.
led all the Shaolin people to sit in place, and asked the people to retreat back, leaving a vacant space for the bell tower.
Seeing that everything was ready, Huo Yuanzhen silently used the construction token in his heart.
The construction token was in Huo Yuanzhen's arms, and it disappeared immediately, and according to the location imagined by Huo Yuanzhen, the outline of a bell tower appeared.
Seeing this sudden miraculous scene, people were stunned at first, and then the collective kneeling down, each with tears in their eyes, reverently chanted the Buddha's name there, and kept kowtowing.
Li Yuntian and Huang Xiaofu stood there stupidly, not knowing what to do.
The bell tower gradually solidified and gradually became a substance.
Huo Yuanzhen's eyes were closed, and his hands were folded there, while everyone in Shaolin did not blink their eyes, staring at this miracle that they had never seen before.
This process lasted about ten minutes, and the bell tower finally appeared in front of everyone.
This bell tower is more than ten zhang high, and there are climbing steps around the bell tower, circling up one by one.
The red brick and tile structure, the glazed tiles on it, the cornices protrude, and the four corners are hung with wind chimes, although it is only a bell tower, but it gives people a majestic and majestic feeling, and the momentum is extraordinary.
In the admiring gaze of everyone, Huo Yuanzhen walked up to the bell tower.
Climb the spiraling steps to the top, where a huge bronze bell hangs at the top.
The mouth of the bronze bell is fully one meter five in diameter, more than three meters high, carved with flowers, birds, fish and insects, cranes, deer and other auspicious things.
Huo Yuanzhen came to the bottom of the bronze bell and patted it gently, and the bronze bell sounded with a thick buzzing sound.
Looking at the time of the system, it was almost eight o'clock.
There were two iron locks next to it, on which hung a huge crashing wood, Huo Yuanzhen came here, calculating the time, and when the time was just eight o'clock, he pushed the collision wood hard.
"Boom!".
A huge sound resounded in the sky, shaking the mountains and forests, and birds flying in the forest in the distance rose into the air, and there had never been such a loud sound in this young mountain except for thunder.
Huo Yuanzhen continued to push the crashing wood.
The provincial bell echoed in the valley, and the people who got up in the morning to work nearby couldn't help but look in the direction from which the bell came.
"That's the direction of Shaolin Temple!".
"Listen, this bell, this is the Shaolin bell!"
"I didn't have it when I went there the other day, how did you fix the bell tower so quickly?".
"What is repaired, Shaolin Temple is a holy place blessed by the Buddha, everything is a miracle, didn't you look at the big mountain gate."
"Let's go, let's go together, go to Shaolin and have a look!".
The sound of the bell even reached the Fawang Temple dozens of miles away, and the people there looked at it suspiciously, but unfortunately they couldn't see anything.
The hearts of the people under the bell tower were empty, this was really a morning bell and a dusk drum, shocking, even Li Yuntian couldn't help but want to kneel and worship, looking at Huang Xiaofu next to him, there was no longer the slightest desire in his heart.
After eight consecutive bells, Huo Yuanzhen walked down the bell tower.
Although it was just a monotonous bell, the people who listened to it were still unsatisfied, and they wished that the bell would continue to ring, and they would listen to it all the time.
Returning to the Shaolin crowd, Yikong asked: "Abbot, why do you ring the bell eight times? Why don't you ring nine times? Nine is an auspicious number."
Huo Yuanzhen originally wanted to say that it was because of eight o'clock, but suddenly there was a concept of a few points in this world, only what time, and the words changed to his lips again: "Eight is hair, indicating that our Shaolin is going to be developed."
"The abbot is wise, but we are Buddhists, what do we have to do with the developed and underdeveloped?"
Huo Yuanzhen glanced at it: "The new clothes you wear, the house you live in, and the food you eat are much better than before, so you don't need money to buy them?
I didn't speak for a while, indeed, Shaolin's living standard is now skyrocketing, except for not being able to eat meat, I have eaten everything else, and even sometimes I can get some monkey mane mushroom soup at night, and I have gained a lot of weight during this time.
The theory can be talked about, but when it comes to practical life, it is more reliable to decide to listen to the abbot.
After ringing the bell, Huo Yuanzhen's task was basically over, and he came to Li Yuntian and Huang Xiaofu, and said: "The two donors, when they meet, they are fateful, and the poor monk still has something to do, so he will not be sent away."
After finishing speaking, Huo Yuanzhen turned around and walked back.
Li Yuntian looked at it in a daze, and suddenly chased after him quickly, followed behind Huo Yuanzhen and said, "Master Abbot, you can really communicate with the Buddha! You are amazing, you can't be an immortal, right?"
Huo Yuanzhen shook his head: "The poor monk only has my Buddha in his heart, and he doesn't know what the gods are."
"I'm presumptuous, abbot, I think this place is good, I want to stay here for a while."
Experiencing such an inexplicable thing from beginning to end made Li Yuntian have a strong curiosity and affection for Shaolin and the abbot who was about the same age as himself, and even a sense of admiration, and wanted to stay in Shaolin for a few more days.
Unexpectedly, Huo Yuanzhen shook his head: "Donor, you are not suitable to stay in Shaolin."
"Why?" Li Yuntian was a little incomprehensible.
Huo Yuanzhen glanced at Huang Xiaofu, who was far behind Li Yuntian: "What is planted in your heart is a love flower, and it can't bear Zen fruit, so go back and do what you should do, I can see that you have the heart of Buddha, but being born and entering the world is practice, as long as there is a Buddha in your heart, it is the same everywhere."
Originally, Li Yuntian wanted to refute, saying that he didn't have the heart of the Buddha, but he was just curious, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly couldn't say it, because he felt that he couldn't say such a thing, and after he finished speaking, he would regret it.
Could it be that as the abbot said, can he have the heart to become a Buddha? Li Yuntian is not sure.
Seeing that Li Yuntian was stunned, Huo Yuanzhen laughed secretly, but still said loudly: "Go, go and find what belongs to you, if you have the heart, it will be good to come back to see Lao Wei from time to time."
Li Yuntian followed Huang Xiaofu a little dazedly, and when he walked to the gate of the temple, he suddenly turned around and shouted: "Master Abbot, I will definitely come back often in the future."
"Amitabha!" Huo Yuanzhen pronounced a Buddha call from afar.
Li Yuntian still had to salute Huo Yuanzhen, but Huang Xiaofu next to him looked a little inappropriate, how could his brother Li respect a monk more than himself.
The woman's instinct made her pull Li Yuntian and run away, and rushed out of the Shaolin Temple.
Seeing Li Yuntian reluctantly leaving, Huo Yuanzhen felt very satisfied in his heart, today's process, in fact, was mostly done for him, he had already planted Zen thoughts in his heart, and sooner or later it would take root.
Love flowers may not be able to bear Zen fruits.
However, Huo Yuanzhen didn't plan to really take Li Yuntian as a monk one day, destroying the happy marriage was not what Huo Yuanzhen wanted, all he wanted was everything about the Heavenly Dao Alliance.
There are still people coming up the mountain one after another, all after hearing the Shaolin bell.
Guan Shanyue walked to Huo Yuanzhen's side and said in a low voice: "Abbot, everything has been ready, just under the mountain, we can go tonight."
Huo Yuanzhen nodded, "Very good, it's today."
Guan Shanyue thought for a while and said: "But this thing is quite heavy, and it can't be taken by people, so you need to use a car to pull it."
"No problem, I happened to have recently gotten a white horse, put it on his cart and we'll be off in a moment."
Bai Ma, who had figured out with Huo Yuanzhen, was grazing in the back mountain, and he couldn't help but shiver, feeling as if something unfavorable was going to happen to him.
