Chapter 233: Bitter Buddha Temple
Although it has only been more than ten years since mankind entered the end of the century, everything before the end of the world has become a 'historical' event, and the buildings that have been left behind have become relics, and the items that have been left behind have become antiques, and the civilizations have also become historical memory......
Huang Yi and his party of three people walked forward in the wilderness, the more they advanced, the more they could hear the faint Sanskrit chanting, and the Buddhist chanting in their ears could actually make people calm down, and even Huang Yi's killing not long ago seemed to have been washed, which was extremely magical.
"What a powerful Buddha sound, it seems that there are masters here", Huang Yi looked at the reassuring voice from the Buddha voice and said to himself, and at the same time became vigilant.
Buddha sound has no attack power, but it can invisibly affect the mind, which is very scary, no matter how strong the opponent is, you can see it, but if your heart is silently mastered by the other party, it will be terrible.
At this time, Huang Yi remembered Qin Zhan's words, and only then did he understand why someone would come here to seek refuge, and why someone would come here to become a monk, not that they were really loveless or even tired of killing, a large part of it must be due to the influence of Buddha Yin.
"It's amazing, I almost couldn't believe that the Buddha's sound Zen chanting actually had the effect of washing the heart, but this is true, according to legend, the ancient Buddha had the magic power of subduing demons, it seems to be true, you see, some mutated creatures hidden in the darkness, bathed in the Buddha's voice, actually lost their wildness and became docile", Qin Zhan said indifferently.
Huang Yi's eyes froze, his eyes looked around, and sure enough, as he approached the temple, he could vaguely see some weak mutant beasts lurking around, and they looked very docile. Lost his wildness, as if he had been touched by the sound of Buddha.
"It's a little interesting, no wonder you dare to chant the scriptures with great fanfare, it turns out that the sound of the Buddha can affect the spirit? Is this a kind of sound skill or a mental attack"? Huang Yi looked in the direction where the Buddha sound came from with a smile, and muttered to himself.
He used to be specially trained as a killer, and he was specially trained in hypnotics/drug bewitchment and other methods, and his mind was like iron. Naturally, it will not be affected by the sound of Buddha.
As they approached, there was a 100-meter-high mountain in front of them, halfway up the mountain, there was a faint building built there, the pattern was no different from a temple, and even some raised stones on the cliff were carved into a statue of Buddha, and in the Sanskrit chanting, there was actually the smell of burning incense. On this isolated island, where does the incense come from?
"This is it, go up from here", coming to the bottom of the cliff, Qin Zhan pointed to a path and said.
The path is only a meter wide and is completely carved out of the cliff and leads to the buildings halfway up the mountain, on the edge of this stone path. There is a boulder more than ten meters high, and three words have been erased with a slap on it: Bitter Buddha Temple!
See these three words. Huang Yi was slightly disappointed in his heart, he still thought that he could meet the monks of the Blue Lotus Temple, it seems that it is not the mortal dust and others of the Blue Lotus Temple who occupy this place to build the temple.
There was no one at the bottom of the mountain, and the three of them climbed up the stairs and along the winding stone path, and soon came to the buildings halfway up the mountain. To Huang Yi's surprise, the buildings here are all half-embedded structures in the mountain, that is, the buildings are half-suspended, and there is still space inside the mountain. The most special thing is that although these buildings are fresh, it can be vaguely discerned that some places are not the products of the last few years, and they are some years old at first glance.
After thinking about it for a while, Huang Yi also understood that there used to be temple ruins here, and the current temple was also built on the former ruins, so there would be no problem.
"Amitabha, a few donors, I don't know what you are doing here"?
Huang Yi and the three of them stood under a small archway, and an old monk in a gray monk's robe walked slowly and said kindly.
Seriously glanced at the old monk, Huang Yi was extremely surprised, this old monk probably looked seventy or eighty, dry and thin, not to mention the wrinkles of the skin, the skin was also covered with age spots, and he looked like he was about to die.
Huang Yi reacted, nodded slightly and said, "Master is polite, passing by here, I came to pay a visit, I won't disturb your temple, right?"
"Hehe, the poor monk can't afford to be a master, the poor monk is just a gatekeeper, the law name is deadwood, a few people are please", the old monk who called himself deadwood shook his head slightly, and turned sideways to signal Huang Yi and them to go in.
Huang Yi nodded and took the lead to go in, but the old monk did not follow, but continued to sit down in a sheltered place from the rain at the archway, closing his eyes and chanting words.
Although I doubt that there will be such an old monk in this place, and it seems that he should be a monk of the Bitter Buddha Temple, but looking at his approaching appearance, it doesn't look like he has any means, he is simply an ordinary old monk, but Huang Yi knows the truth that people can't look good, but he paid special attention to this old monk who called himself deadwood.
Walking through the plank road on the cliff, the three of them did not meet a single person along the way, but just followed the direction from which the Buddha's sound came, and after entering the largest building, their eyes suddenly opened up.
Here, half of it is a building hall that extends beyond the mountain, but inside is a space carved out of the cliff, this space is the size of two basketball courts, but there are only dozens of monks chanting, as if they don't know about the arrival of Huang Yi and a few people.
Standing at the door of the hall, they didn't bother a group of monks chanting, they just waited somewhere, thinking that someone should come to greet them after they finished chanting.
Standing at the door of the hall, Huang Yi saw a Buddha statue in the depths of the hall at first glance, his brows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes stretched, and his eyes were strange.
The Buddha statue is carved directly from the mountain, about 30 meters high, it should be the legendary Buddha of the Great Day, sitting on the lotus, the expression is not sad or happy, giving people a very special charm, but the specific Huang Yi can not say.
The Buddha statue is not newly carved, it looks like it is some years old, at least hundreds of years old, from this point it can be determined that there was indeed a temple site here, and these young monks today must have been people who came here later.
The Buddha chanting continues, the sound of chanting is a very charming way of Buddhist Zen singing, listening to the ear, the mood will naturally calm down, as if bathing in the spring breeze.
The sound of this group of monks chanting lasted for about half an hour before it ended, and then they dispersed and began to get busy, all with calm smiles, some monks looked at Huang Yi and others and nodded with a smile, but they did not come over to take the initiative to talk, and the outsiders did not look sad or happy.
However, two monks walked towards Huang Yi and the others, came to three meters away and said, "The three donors are polite."
These two monks did not look very old, one was less than thirty years old, the other was simply a little novice in his teens, and the one who spoke was the older one.
"Master, excuse me," Huang Yi nodded.
"Hehe, the island is so big, there are so many people, I can't say bother, a few donors can come, it has already made us flourish here, don't dislike us here is simple, by the way, poor monk Zhikong, this is the wisdom of my junior brother", the old monk smiled.
Huang Yi almost didn't laugh, Zhikong? Wisdom is empty? Fools? Intelligent? Why don't you talk about mobile phones......
"We haven't been here for a long time, if you are not busy, you must stay for a few more days, please come with me, how about arranging accommodation for you first"? Zhikong looked at Huang Yi and asked, Huang Yi didn't introduce himself, and he didn't ask interestingly, as if he had forgotten.
After pondering for a while, Huang Yi nodded and agreed, on this isolated island, don't think about leaving for the time being, and it will take a few days for your injuries to heal, it is not bad to stay here for a few days, take care of your injuries and then think about leaving.
Immediately, Zhikong took Huang Yi and them to the place where they lived, and when they left, Huang Yi glanced at the Buddha statue in the hall again, and always felt that the Buddha statue gave people a special charm.
This bitter Buddha Temple, strictly speaking, is a hanging temple, built on the mountainside, there are not many buildings outside the mountain, but there are many caves inside the mountain, there are many stone chambers, but at first glance these stone chambers are some years, and there are even traces of collapse.
Zhikong arranged two stone rooms for Huang Yi and them, obviously seeing that Qin Zhan and Scorpion were husband and wife.
The stone room where Huang Yi lives is very spacious, with a cliff outside the wall, if the sky is not obscured by dust clouds, standing by the window, you can see the beautiful scenery.
During this time, Zhikong gave a general introduction to the pattern of the Bitter Buddha Temple, there are more than 80 people here, of which more than 50 are monks here, and the others are like Huang Yi and they are people who come here to live, and they do not refuse to come here, nor do they interfere with the actions of those people, in short, everyone is safe.
Huang Yi and they didn't see anyone other than the monk, Zhikong said that most of them would go out and didn't know what to do, and some were sleeping with nothing to do, and they couldn't go out anyway, and they all became extremely lazy.
"What is that place"? Huang Yi stood in front of the window and asked, pointing to a place above the slope of the cliff outside the window.
There, it can be seen that there is a platform on which there is a tree, but it has withered.
"There, I heard from the senior brothers that it was originally called the Enlightenment Terrace, oh, I see, that tree is called the Bodhi Tree, but it has withered, but it has not died, and I don't know if it can sprout, hey", I could only shake my head and explain.
Huang Yi nodded, the enlightenment platform, it should be named the enlightenment platform because of the former Bodhi tree, the Bodhi tree has become a wisdom tree in the Buddhist family, the enlightenment tree, sitting under the Bodhi tree to enlighten the Tao, this is learning from the Buddha......
