Chapter 187: The Power of Faith
This platform is a majestic and ornate complex of Buddha statues.
Buddhist culture has a long history and its large-scale statue complexes are not uncommon. Especially in countries where Buddhism is prevalent, Buddhist temples, stupas, and Buddha statues can be found almost everywhere.
But even so, Qin Zhen and the others had never seen a building complex comparable to the scene of ten thousand Buddhas in front of them. Unless, it's the Western Bliss of TV or novels.
In different sects of Buddhism, there are thousands of Buddha statues. Although there are thousands of large and small Buddha statues in this place, there is no problem with hundreds or thousands. Their appearances, postures, and expressions are different, but they are all vivid. Their postures, mudras, dharmas, and sitting postures are simply varied; The clothing, backlight, and lotus seat are even more ever-changing.
Whether it is anger, compassion, or laughter and scolding, all of them are gathered together, but they all reveal a peaceful, quiet, and perfect atmosphere.
This is probably the magic of religion and the power of faith. No one can explain why in the face of so many beautiful and ugly and strange statues, not only does not feel fear, but a sense of serenity and serenity rises from the bottom of the heart.
Whether it is the gods and Buddhas who fight with dragons and snakes, or the Arhats who are friends with tigers and leopards, or even the joyful Buddha statues of men and women, they all express the great affinity of Buddhism to compassion and tranquility from the concepts of non-appearance, non-thought, non-dwelling, and the equality of all beings. It doesn't matter if you're a devout believer in Buddhism or not, in front of these Buddha statues. will sincerely produce a kind of humility and awe.
A few people walked roughly around the platform and found that there were not many Buddha statues they could recognize.
The expression is fierce and terrifying, and there are even male and female double bodies, these complex and changeable shapes are the biggest characteristics of Tibetan Buddhist Buddha statues. So at this moment, no matter how incredible the Buddha statue is, they will not feel too much fuss.
The appearance of those angry Buddha statues may be really ugly and weird, most of them are frowning, hair stands on end, mouth and teeth, so they are not terrifying. But the most amazing thing is that looking at their lifelike and terrifying faces, I feel that there is no lack of inner beauty with compassion and solemnity under the viciousness.
Yu Dong told them that the more ugly and vicious Buddha statues there are, the more they will embody the boundless divine power of Buddhism's three aspects: precepts, concentration, and wisdom.
Of course. There are also many beautiful Buddha statues. For example, the most solemn and neat universal statues. They all lowered their eyebrows, wore robes, favored their right shoulders, and showed their hearts. There are also some female Buddha statues, which are carved like goddesses descending to earth, with thousands of manners. Most of them lowered their heads and smiled compassionately. There is an indescribable beauty and solemnity.
Wearing a crown on his head, wearing a jewel, his hands are trained in rings, and his clothes are dragged with streamers. Like a flying goddess. Beautiful.
To say that Qin Zhen and Gu Jie actually have a great tacit understanding between the two of them in addition to raising the bar, for example, at this moment, when they saw those female Buddha statues. I couldn't help but look back at Zhuoya behind me.
If you really want to find a realistic prototype for these beautiful female Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, it must be Zhuoya! It has to be Zoya! Because only the divine beauty in her body can embody the solemnity of the gods and Buddhas.
The two of them looked at Zhuoya and were looking at it in a daze, but Yudong suddenly stood in front of them. Qin Zhen was startled, and couldn't help but take a big step back, and then patted his chest and complained: "Xia Yudong! What are you going to do? You want to scare me to death?! ”
Yu Dong stared at Qin Zhen coldly, and then said lightly: "If you don't come out of your senses, you won't be scared to death." ”
"Uh...... I ......" When Qin Zhen was at a loss, he found that the old Gu on the side had already quietly avoided it. Qin Zhen gritted his teeth with hatred, and said in his heart that he was so unrighteous! When I watched Zhuoya just now, it was clear that he was more invested than anyone else! At this time, when I saw Yudong coming, I sneaked away!
However, when Qin Zhen thought about it later, he simply didn't explain it. Everyone has this love for beauty, and it's not a sin to look twice, right? Besides, he, Xia Yudong, didn't have any ideas to live with other girls. So even if I just looked at it twice, it can't be regarded as a non-righteous thing.
At this time, Yudong beckoned them to a place in the middle, where there was a whole row of Buddhist shrines, but there were no statues of gods in each niche, but they were replaced by ancient prayer wheels made of copper.
When Qin Zhen leaned over and saw the symbols on the prayer wheel, he couldn't help but feel a tightening in his heart.
Ten phases are at ease...... It's ten phases of freedom.
This is what Yebei taught them in the first place. Yebei said that if they want to take the road to find Yudong next, then this is the most basic thing to learn. Now...... Yudong is around, but Yebei is ......
Yu Dong saw that something was wrong with Qin Zhen, so he asked him what was wrong. Qin Zhen said very uncomfortably: "I can recognize these scattered characters on this, it's all because of Yebei." I just didn't expect ...... last."
As soon as he said this, Yu Dong interrupted him, and then said seemingly indifferently: "Now is not the time for you to think about Yebei. If you really want to do something for them, hurry up and get into Shangri-La. ”
Qin Zhen felt that Yu Dong's words seemed to have another meaning, but it was inconvenient to get to the bottom of it at this time. So he adjusted his mood, took a few deep breaths, and tried to face the puzzle in front of him and the Shangri-La in front of him with the best mental outlook.
"Since these characters are disassembled in ten phases, I want to put them all together, and then correspond to the various elements on the mountain rock behind them, it should be fine. This is very similar to the mechanism of the Lhotse Temple. Qin Zhen calmly analyzed, and said his thoughts to Yu Dong.
Yudong nodded, and his subordinates had already begun to push the warp cylinder neatly. For Qin Zhen, this mystery of freedom may be a kind of profound knowledge that is not easy to learn, but for Yu Dong, this must be the most basic common sense. For people like Yudong and others, knowing this kind of esoteric thing is probably as simple as knowing ordinary Chinese characters.
Just when Yudong was engrossed in turning the prayer cylinder, Zhuo Ya on the side reminded Qin Zhen softly: "That opposite side is the big black sky holding the demon pestle, you have to put the tip of the demon pestle down and insert it into the stone statue of the Eye of Shangri-La." ”
Qin Zhen was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then quickly pulled Lao Gu and walked towards the opposite side. At first glance, as Zhuoya said, this is a row of stone statues in the big black sky, and there is a stone in the shape of the eye of Shangri-La at the feet, and there is a triangular notch in the stone.
Qin Zhen and Lao Gu glanced at each other, they couldn't help but be ashamed, how could they not see such an obvious organ? If it weren't for Zhuoya's reminder, I'm afraid I would have to wait until Yudong was all busy and then come over to get this. If you want to say that this Yudong is too, why can't you sue them? Waste of time.
didn't bother to bother with him, Qin Zhen was naturally no stranger to this organ. Just turn the demon slaying pestle in the hand of the big black sky.
Qin Zhen and Lao Gu carefully adjusted the direction of the demon pestle on the stone statue here, and then inserted the demon pestle into the stone statue of the Eye of Shangri-La one by one according to the way Zhuoya said.
As the division of labor between the several of them was gradually completed, blue rays began to emerge from the rocks of the entire space. The light seemed to shine through the stone wall, strange and shining.
Qin Zhen and the others watched in surprise as the surrounding environment was undergoing tremendous changes. At the moment when those faint blue dazzling lights lit up, the holy flames on the shoulders of the giant Buddha in the passage were also extinguished one by one. The whole space suddenly darkened, but it also made the blue light more obvious.
It's like a meteor shower in another dimension, or some strange luminous object on the planet Pandora. In short, the dazzling blue brilliance and gradient lines shocked them all.
The light on both sides of the mountain rock is dancing and changing, like an invisible hand, holding an invisible pen, dancing and painting on these rock walls with incomparable fluorescent colors.
Eventually, these dazzling lines spread to the most intact rock wall in front of them, and with their brilliant brilliance, outlined the ornate outline of a door.
Everyone looked at each other, and Lao Gu suddenly said in a daze: "I've heard of painting cakes to satisfy hunger, but I've never heard of painting doors through walls." Are you really going to crash into it like that? Isn't that silly? ”
"Shhh......hh
Just when Lao Gu was about to refute him, the most bizarre picture appeared!!
It was originally a silhouette outlined by light and shadow, but it gradually turned into a real line!! They watched as a mountain wall, which was originally bare, slowly turned into a majestic, gorgeous and strange gate!
"Holy!! W- Is this really coming true? Lao Gu said dumbfounded.
Although Qin Zhen was also surprised, he still couldn't help but glance at Lao Gu at this moment and scolded in a low voice: "What the hell are you calling...... I won't be able to speak human language. ”
If it had been normal, Lao Gu might have started to fight back a long time ago. But at this moment, he pulled Qin Zhen and shouted excitedly: "Da Zhen, hurry up, find a way to draw some RMB on it!" ”
Qin Zhen said helplessly to Lao Gu as if he had surrendered: "Big brother, don't you want to be whimsical and crazy about money?" Now is not the time to dream of making a fortune, and even if you can, you go and draw two pictures of Grandpa Mao and I'll take a look! ”
Lao Gu said to Qin Zhen with a serious face: "Are you really stupid?" If you can't draw the RMB, you can't draw the gold ingots? I didn't ask you to draw me a few Rolls-Royces and Maseratis, so why did you work so hard? (To be continued......)
