Chapter 146: The Living Buddha
"You don't have to worry, tomorrow the Basang family will go to the temple to worship. He promised to take us in and ask to see the Living Buddha. Rollin said.
"They can meet the Living Buddha?" Wen Jing asked strangely.
Their youngest son, who was selected as a candidate for the spirit child last year. Therefore, there is an opportunity to visit the children at the temple one day a month. I don't know if I can see the living Buddha. But I can help introduce you. Rollin cut the lamb with a knife. First of all, I will divide the meat among the children of Basang. Then they gave the meat to the others.
Luo Lin didn't care about so many rules, and when the mutton was cooked, he began to distribute it to everyone. At this time, Basan's wife brought a large clay pot. It was filled with barley wine.
She was the first to offer a bowl to Rollin. Then there was Wen Jing and Shen Yi. Children can only drink mare's milk.
"Basan, order!" Rollin raised his glass. "Down" means toast, and it is generally used among peers.
"Hahaha! Drink! "Bassan is also an open-minded person. A few glasses of wine are not so particular. Then the atmosphere was lively! During this period, he also encouraged his son to come over for a toast.
"Chongda!" Basang's eight-year-old eldest son actually scooped up a bowl of wine and came over to toast Lorraine.
"Hahaha! Well, like a man! Luo Lin drank this bowl of barley wine with him. Then he flipped over and took out a dagger and threw it in his arms, which was made of alloy. There is nothing at all in this era! It's going to make him so happy. The face that was already red is even redder now.
"De-sher-la, de-sher-la!" That's what it means to thank you.
"Hahaha...... "This meal is a joy for the guests and the hosts.
The next morning, Luo Lin and the three of them followed the Basang family who brought the tribute to the Potala Palace. At this time, the Potala Palace had not yet become a tourist attraction, and naturally there were no tourists. Every one of the people who come here is like a pilgrimage. The real step by step kowtow, they call it "kowtow".
Rollin didn't expect them to go to the temple like this. At this rate, it is estimated that it will be at least a few hours before you can go up the mountain. That's why it's so close.
"That, Basan, every time you go to see your son, do you go like this?" Rollin asked.
"Yes! We are going on a pilgrimage. Not to see my son! Basang said seriously.
"Alas! If you miscalculated, then you should kowtow slowly! We're going on our own! Luo Lin could only reluctantly take the two daughters to the Potala Palace.
Luo Lin's divine sense locked on the door of the temple, and pulled Wen Jing and Shen Yi, who were still laughing wildly, and stepped over. made the Basang couple who had just kowtowed very puzzled. "Why are people gone in a blink of an eye?"
Rollin led the two women to the sudden appearance. Where was the monk at the door stunned. Before he could react, he saw a yellow-clothed lama running out of it.
He glanced up and down at the three of Rollin, and then saluted. "The Reincarnated Venerable said that a distinguished guest was coming to the door, and specially ordered me to come here to greet him. Three of you can come in with the poor monks! ”
"Oh? Do you Living Buddhas actually know that I'm coming? It seems that he is indeed a high monk. Then trouble the little master to pull! Luo Lin said, the corners of his mouth unconsciously smiled.
Luo Lin and the three of them followed the little lama through the main hall, and walked through a few corridors before they came to the door of a quaint hall, "A few donors, please go in by yourself, the poor monks can only be sent here." The little lama bowed and left on his own.
Rollin led the two women to enter from the left as a sign of respect.
"I thought you'd be there at noon! Hehehe, a few distinguished guests come and sit! "A thin old lama sits on a futon in front of a Buddha statue.
"Master, how did you know we were coming?" Rollin asked as he sat down. The two women also sat down on the futon behind him.
"Hehehe! Why should the donor bother to ask? Don't you be able to see far away? The old lama said with a smile.
"The master is right. We are here to ask the master something. Rollin didn't dwell on this matter, and just said his own thing. Because Luo Lin already knew that the old lama's spiritual power was also very strong. Luo Lin guessed that the so-called reincarnation of the living Buddha was just the sacrifice of these people. A number of spirit children will be selected as alternatives. When this body ages, it will take away a young body.
"Donor, please!" The old lama said.
"I wonder if the master has heard of the Qing court's burial of the corpses of the royal family somewhere in the southwest?" Rollin asked.
"Oh? I know that. However, the legend is near Kunlun Mountain. Unfortunately, no one ever found it. The old lama said.
"Then there is something suspicious about the master's speculation. Now the people of the land of China are struggling to make a living, and evil things are emerging one after another. Maybe it has something to do with this cave. Rollin said.
"The Devil's Cave? Demon Cave ......" the old monk closed his eyes and thought.
"Did the Master think of something?" Rollin asked.
"When you say the Demon Cave, I think of a legend. I don't know if it has anything to do with it. The old lama said.
"Master, come and hear it."
"According to legend, more than a thousand years ago, there was a magic cave in this place, and some local residents strayed into it. Later, all of them turned into vampire zombies. For a while, lives were devastated. Fortunately, thanks to the suppression of the army of the Great Khan of Tibet, the form was finally controlled. But no one can enter the demon cave, no matter how much you enter, there is no return.
When the Great Khan borrowed peace, he asked the Tang Dynasty for help. The Tang Emperor gathered the three great powers of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism to help. This Potala Palace was built. Generations of suppression of this cave. ”
"What do you say? The Demon Cave is under this palace? Shen Yi exclaimed.
Luo Lin motioned to her not to be surprised, and then said to the old lama: "Then this demon cave may not be what we are looking for!" With the master's cultivation, if someone secretly does something underneath, it is impossible to hide your ears and eyes. ”
"Yes! Supposedly, they couldn't have done anything under my nose. I was also reminded of the word "devil's cave" you just mentioned, so I remembered this matter. My Buddha is compassionate, since the donor is determined to do his best for the common people in the world. I wonder how else I can help you? The old lama said.
"Master, can I borrow the books of your temple and take a look? Of course, just look at the historical records of the past years. If the master needs our help, just say it! Rollin said.
"All the texts in my temple are available for you to view, and I hope you can find clues. The poor monks do have something to ask for. The old lama changed to Tibetan.
"Sure enough!" Luo Lin said secretly in his heart. But he also said in Tibetan: "The master said, as long as we can do it, there is absolutely no problem!" ”
"Donor, do you have any understanding of my teaching of the reincarnation of the Living Buddha?" The old lama said.
"I know a little bit about it, but I don't understand the truth!" Rollin pretended.
"The donor is a person who understands, and we don't say dark words in front of people. No matter how much you practice Buddhism, it's just for the sake of eternal life! What I teach is spiritual immortality, borrowing the body to turn around. It is the same thing for the donor and this body. The old lama said.
"Oh? Master, you can see this? Rollin said in amazement.
"Yes, there is always some difference between the soul and the body of the person who turns. Although the donor and your body are almost perfectly matched. But in my opinion, it's not the same one anymore. I don't know if I'm right? The old lama said.
"Yes, yes, the master is really powerful. So how can I help you? Rollin was puzzled.
