Chapter 133: Razan Returns to the Cloth
A few people were a little dumbfounded when they looked at the purple-red sandstone, they didn't expect to go so far. I didn't expect this mountain corridor to run through the entire snow-capped mountains!! What a huge project!
Yu Dong slowly turned his head, looked at them and said quietly, "We have finally reached the end......
At first glance, Qin Zhen felt cold. I still complained in my heart that Yudong couldn't speak, what did it mean to be "the end"! It's still too early to get to the end...... It can only be said that they are about to walk out, and these nightmares are almost over.
The nerves that have been tense all the time make people almost forget about their exhaustion. It is as if all physical energy has been stimulated to the limit, day and night, endlessly...... And so he walked through the darkness and fear. To be honest, on such a day, Qin Zhen felt tired. He couldn't imagine how Yudong and Juntian got over??
Everyone was rejoicing at the discovery of the purple sandstone. After all, they finally came to the real Meri, the real destination. Whether it's the curse of the Nine Dragons or any other secret, it's going to end here.
And then there's ...... They finally, finally know where they are! You know, as a human being who is like the overlord of the earth, how frustrated it is to be forever dizzy in this magic of nature and unable to find any sense of direction.
But...... Does a qiē really end there?
I don't know why, Qin Zhen always felt a little flustered. Instead of rejoicing at the end of the one-qiē, he felt a deep fear. There seemed to be a faint feeling in his heart...... This qiē doesn't end so lightly. And...... They will inevitably pay the price for trespassing on Mount Kinabalu.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhen shook his head vigorously. I want to shake off those pessimistic thoughts. I hope that I am too worried about myself...... These five people here, if anything happens to any of them, it will be his eternal nightmare. Qin Zhen didn't want the qiē he had experienced in the desert to be staged here again, it was something that none of them could bear.
Since the discovery of this purple-red sandstone, everyone seems to have come to the spirit. No matter how dangerous it is ahead, we finally see the end. It's better than wandering aimlessly through the endless corridors. Whether it's a curse or darkness, the feeling of no end and no end is the ultimate horror.
In the end, they unanimously decided not to make any more stops. All at once. Straight to the Yellow Dragon. Entering the deepest secret of Meili Snow Mountain, you will meet the red-faced god who guards the secret of the legend for a while, and take a look at the Shangri-La Eye with magical power and the creation of heaven and earth.
Everyone stood up. Turning around, he shone the flashlight into the depths of darkness.
Ever since I entered this stone gate. They hadn't even taken a good look at what it was.
After the narrow space behind the stone gate. They saw a splendid corridor dappled with light and shadow. This time, it's not endless, it's a walkway that leads to the main hall in the middle. Since there is dappled light and shadow here. It proves that there will be light ahead!
On both sides of the walkway, there are 18 bronze statues of Buddhist Arhats. There are angry eyes, subduing the dragon and subduing the tiger; There are those who are gentle and elegant, and who read the scriptures; There are those who stare in contemplation and put their cheeks up and pretend to sleep; Its expressions are different and lifelike!
The wall behind the statue is decorated with beautiful murals of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and the heavens. The lines are smooth, the colors are clear, and it doesn't look like it has been sealed in the mountains for thousands of years!
Qin Zhen even felt that this atmosphere was unusually sacred and solemn! That feeling was like Tang Seng entering Leiyin Temple for the first time......
At this time, Lao Gu walked up to an Arhat they were passing by, and said excitedly: "I know this!" I know this! ”
"You know??" Qin Zhen raised his eyes and looked at Gu Jie hesitantly, unable to understand what he meant by understanding for a while.
When Lao Gu saw Qin Zhen's expression, he pointed to the Arhat statue in surprise and asked Qin Zhen, "You don't know this??" Descend the dragon Arhat!! ”
"......" Qin Zhen didn't understand, why was Lao Gu so excited when he saw the Dragon Descending Arhat? How can he be closer than seeing his father?
Seeing that Qin Zhen still hadn't opened his mind, Lao Gu pretended to say: "The shoes are torn, the hat is torn, and the robe on the body is torn... Jigong is this dragon descending Arhat to the world! ”
Qin Zhen rolled his eyes, he really didn't understand why Lao Gu was startled and remembered Jigong again when he was so nervous and solemn!!
Looking at the tattered clothes on his body now, Qin Zhen couldn't help but tease: "You are quite vivid." However, you are much more broken than Jigong. You really love folklore, and you can connect with familiar characters everywhere you go. ”
Lao Gu pursed his lips and glared at Qin Zhen. At this time, Juntian on the side caressed the Arhat statue next to him and said, "Every Arhat statue here is the highest degree of restoration. You see, even the order in which they are placed is strictly in the order of the eighteen arhats. ”
Lao Gu looked at Juntian at this time and asked puzzledly, "Are these eighteen Arhats still in order?" Is this still the eldest and the second? Is there a class and a policy? ”
Juntian looked back and smiled, and asked Lao Gu, "Do you know the origin of these Arhats?" ”
"I don't know......" Gu Jie originally wanted to say something later, anyway, they all looked weird...... But after thinking about it, it's better not to say anything about it. It's not appropriate to say bad things about people in front of people, and now in front of the statue of Arhat, it's really not appropriate to say that......
However, Lao Gu was indeed very curious about the so-called Eighteen Arhats from a long time ago. Here's why...... They all look so weird.
Since it was just in time for Juntian to be willing to speak, Qin Zhen and the others followed Juntian while watching and listening to him tell the allusions and origins of these eighteen Arhats.
Arhat is the highest attainment of the Buddha's enlightened disciples. You can accept the offerings of heaven and earth and heaven and earth, the six roots are pure, the ignorance and afflictions have been broken, and you are beyond life and death and reincarnation, and you are above the eight heavenly dragons. It can be said that this "Buddha World" inside Meili Snow Mountain is completely built according to the true Buddhist legend.
In strict order. The first was the Sitting Deer Arhat, who had taken his deer into the palace to persuade the king to study Buddhism. The second is the Huanxi Arhat, who knows the good and evil of the world, and who was an eloquent speaker in ancient India. Always have a smile on your face when debating.
The third is the Arhat who holds the bowl, he is a practitioner of the dervish, so he always holds the bowl in his hand. The fourth is the Tota Arhat, who was the last disciple of the Buddha and who always held the stupa in his hand because of his remembrance of the Buddha.
The fifth is the meditative Arhat, also known as the Mighty Arhat. In the past, he was born as a samurai, and his strength was infinite. The sixth is the Arhat who crossed the river, and he was originally a sage. The seventh is an elephant-riding arhat, who is also an attendant of the Buddha and was originally an elephant mahout.
The eighth place is the laughing lion Arhat Vajrazi. He was originally a hunter, because he studied Buddhism, so he no longer killed, and the lion came to thank him, hence the name.
The ninth is Happy Arhat, who was a beggar before becoming a monk, and once revealed his heart and mind so that the world knew that the Buddha was in his heart, so he was called Happy Arhat. His "happy" means happy.
The tenth is the Tanner Arhat, who is a roadside monk who always likes to raise his hands and stretch his waist after meditating. The eleventh is a contemplative arhat, this arhat is amazing, he was originally the biological son of Shakyamuni, and among the ten disciples of the Buddha, the Dharma and Taoism are the first.
The twelfth is an arhat who digs out his ears, called Nasan Bhikshu, in the name of purifying the root of his ears. The thirteenth is the Budai Arhat, because he often carries a bag and smiles often, and now he is also called Budai Maitreya. The fourteenth is the plantain arhat, who often practiced under the plantain tree after becoming a monk, and eventually attained positive results under the plantain tree.
The fifteenth is an arhat with long eyebrows, who is also the attendant of the Buddha, and has had those two strange long eyebrows since he was born. The sixteenth was the caretaker Arhat, the younger brother of the half-toga, who was devoted to his duties.
The seventeenth is what Gu Jie said about the dragon descending Arhat, in ancient India, the dragon king once stole the Buddhist scriptures, he surrendered the dragon king, recaptured the Buddhist scriptures, as the name descends the dragon. Later generations said that he was the Taoist Zen master with broken shoes and hats, and Elder Jigong.
Since there is a dragon descending, how can there be no tiger subduing, the eighteenth place is the tiger arhat. Because he often encountered a hungry tiger outside the temple, he gave his meal to the tiger. After attaining enlightenment, he was named Fuhu Arhat.
Listening to this concise Buddhist story, they slowly walked through this "Arhat Corridor" to the door of the real hall under the gaze of the eighteen Arhat Venerables.
From the outside, the shrine looks like a "temple in the mountains", with a golden glazed tile roof with heavy eaves, which is particularly sacred and splendid. The eaves of the hall are arches, foreheads, beams and pillars, all decorated with blue and blue dot gold and gold-pasted Buddhist paintings. There are 12 large red columns on the front, there are white towers on both sides, and the same pedestal sets off each other, the colors are bright, majestic and magnificent.
Qin Zhen was stunned when he looked at this palace-like temple, he thought that the temple at the top of Kawagebo Peak was magnificent enough. Unexpectedly, this temple is even more magnificent! In terms of floor area, it is at least ten times larger than the Great Black Sky Temple of Kawagebo!
After all, the temple was only in the ice at the top of the mountain, and its area was limited. But this is in the middle of the mountain, as long as the mountain is big enough, can't the temple be as big as it wants......
And it is not an exaggeration to say that it is like the Great Leiyin Temple on the West Heaven Bliss Ling Mountain. It's just that the Leiyin Temple is "the top of the Mo Xiao Hanzhong, the root of the Sumeru vein". However, this great temple is hidden deep in the snow-capped mountains at the junction of Yunnan and Tibet.
The picture in front of me is truly magnificent and bizarre. Huang Sensen's golden tiles are stacked with mandarin ducks, and the flower tiles in the open are paved with agate, all of which are Ruigong beads. The floating tower is visible, and the bowl is fragrant. This is really as Wu Chengen said, "It is the earth that is better than the doubt, and the clouds are idle and the days are long." The red dust is not at the end of all fate, and there is no loss in the Great Law Hall. "What a Buddhist Western Heavenly Bliss!
Thankfully, the Nazis didn't get in. This majestic and sacred sacred sacred mountain has been hidden inside the snow-capped mountain for thousands of years, and has been protected, offered and worshipped by devout Buddhist believers. No mortal has ever set foot on it. No one knows how many shocking secrets are behind this solemnity. (To be continued......)
