Chapter 55: The Screen
Everyone went after the orangutan, and for a moment no one noticed the notes in my hand. I put the notes in my backpack and chased them after them.
The orangutan was so fast that I couldn't see its shadow when I rushed out of the hut, only the monk's back rushing directly in the direction of the tower behind the main hall. When I rushed into the tower out of breath, the monks and the others were standing not far from the door, and the orangutan did not know where he had gone.
When I saw the monk and the others standing still, as if they were afraid of something, I ran up to the monk and whispered to him, "Monk, did the orangutan run over here?" ”
The monk hummed softly in reply, but he didn't explain anything to me. His eyes were fixed on the tower, and there was a hint of solemnity in his eyes. Bewildered by the monk's gaze, I began to look at the tower.
Compared to the previous hall, this tower can be described as extravagant. The whole tower has a total of five floors, about ten meters high, each tower ridge is a fine glazed tile, all the corners of the tower have a one-foot-long glazed roar, it looks extremely exquisite.
I couldn't see the origin of this tower after looking at it for a long time, so I had to lean to the monk's side and asked in a low voice: "I said monk, this tower doesn't seem to match the economic strength here, do you see if there is a problem?" ”
The monk didn't turn his head to look, but still tilted his head and said: "This is a colorful and exquisite pagoda, which is dedicated to the Buddha bone relics or flesh Buddhas of the past generations." ”
I pursed my lips, knowing that the monk was about to start talking about some miscellaneous Buddhist legends again. However, this time the monk only said this, and did not say anything further. I didn't hear anything wrong with the monk's words at the time, so I shook my head and didn't ask any more.
The pangolin whispered to Channing for a while, and then they both looked at the monk. When the monk saw the two of them looking over, he didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
After seeing the monk nodding, the pangolin glanced at Qian Ning's sissy brother, and the sissy actually packed up the equipment on his body and walked in slowly. Unexpectedly, after the death of Dahan, he would come to explore the way. Isn't this guy Channing's brother? Seeing that Qian Ning's status in this team is not low, he even has to discuss with her about the pangolin, but he didn't expect this most dangerous task to fall on him.
About five minutes after the pangolin walked in with a searchlight, he heard a cry that sounded like a nightingale. After hearing this, the pangolins all walked in slowly, and it seemed that this should be a code that had been set between them a long time ago. Monks, we also followed one after another.
When I entered this tower, I found that this tower was really big, and the diameter of the first layer at the bottom was actually more than 20 meters long. This floor is empty, without much clutter and decoration, except for a few thick pillars and staircases, only a fan-linked screen in the middle.
I knew that there would probably be a clue to the tower on this screen, so I couldn't help but walk forward. However, before I could take a step, the monk grabbed me by the shoulder. I looked back and saw his serious, confused face, and I knew that this guy was in danger whenever he had that expression, so I instinctively retreated behind him.
Both Pangolin and Channing cautiously took two steps forward, stopping about three meters away from the screen. The monk neither stepped forward to help, nor did he say anything, just stood here in silence.
After the pangolin and Channing stopped, they squatted down at the same time, and their fingers tapped lightly on the floor at the same time. To be honest, making such a clattering sound in such an empty space is a very strange thing in itself, and if it weren't for the monks who are now by my side, I would definitely get goosebumps.
As the two of them knocked faster and faster, slowly moving to both sides, the floor within a two-meter radius around the screen all collapsed, and then only a popping sound was heard, and a large cluster of crossbow arrows was nailed to the wooden plank overhead. Looking at the dense crossbow arrows above my head, I suddenly felt a bazaar in my heart, fortunately the monk stopped me, otherwise I would have become a hedgehog now.
After the bolts were fired, the sunken floor returned to its original state, and there was not even a trace of it. The pangolin and Qian Ning did not stop their movements, but slowly circled around the screen and knocked on the floor, until the two of them circled around the screen before slowly stopping.
The pangolin looked at me and motioned for me to come over. I happened to be extremely curious about the screen, so I walked up to him without waiting for him to speak. This screen is made of wood as a whole, and the screen fan is a very delicate relief, which should be an object in the Ming Dynasty from the carving technique and the habit of walking the knife.
I slowly walked forward, and found that the screen was full of Diamond Sutras carved except for some decorative patterns, and there was basically nothing to see about this thing, so I looked down one by one, and when I reached the last one, I almost lost hope, and finally saw some valuable clues.
When I came to the last screen and stopped, Qian Ning couldn't help but ask me, "What the hell is said on this?" ”
I looked at the words on the last screen fan and said to Qian Ning: "The first few pictures are a Diamond Sutra, there are no valuable clues, you wait first, I will finish reading this last one first." After speaking, he ignored everyone and slowly read the last screen.
This last screen fan is a self-description in the tone of Monk Miaolian, but I can't believe that it is from the mouth of Monk Miaolian, and I don't even believe that what is said above is true.
The first sentence on this turned out to be: Yu Miaolian lived ten lives in vain, if it weren't for the guidance of her mentor Master Daoji, I am afraid that I will regret it for the rest of my life and understand its way.
Why is this guy involved with Daoji again? This Daoji monk can be regarded as a wonderful flower among all the monks in Chinese history, and a good monk is not appropriate, but he went to provoke the fourth elder of the Zhu family to rebel. Well, even if your heart is full of ambition and wants to make a difference. But you succeeded in rebelling but didn't want anything, and ran back to be a monk, just to teach us ordinary people a lesson, Lao Tzu just likes the process of rebellion.
This Miao Lian monk turned out to be Dao Ji's apprentice, how is this possible? Aside from the fact that there is a difference of nearly a thousand years between these two people, even if Monk Miao Lian can really live for so long, when two people meet, how could an old goblin who has lived for nearly a thousand years worship a fledgling little monk as a teacher?
The screen fan says that the monk Miao Lian found this relic under the guidance of Dao Ji. In the end, he found Zhu Chun, the king of Shuxian, and came here together. Two people into the depths of this ruins, and finally saw the Buddha relics, Miao Lian monk meditated hard and could not find a way, and finally agreed with Zhu Chun that he was here to participate in Zen Buddhism, Zhu Chun sent someone to temporarily seal the ruins, if Miao Lian monk once enlightened, the Dharma will be passed on to him.
The content of the entire screen fan ends here, and it doesn't say whether this Miaolian monk has become a Buddha in the end, but looking at Zhu Chun's current appearance, it seems that the Buddhism passed on to him by Miaolian monk is not too reliable.
