I looked at the Yuanming monk with wide eyes, but I didn't expect that there were so many stories behind the ghost monk.

The monk Yuanming sighed and continued: "This Mount Emei is the dojo of the Bodhisattva, legend has it that many years ago the Bodhisattva manifested on the golden top, purifying all sentient beings, and left a divine object for the world to understand, if someone fully understands it can be cultivated into a golden body. ”

"What exactly did the Bodhisattva leave behind? Could it be that Yuantong moved his mind to the sacred object left by Fuxian? Cao Jinfang, who had been standing silently behind him, suddenly spoke, and said angrily.

I thought about it for a while, and instantly understood the meaning of her words, this time the purpose of the three people from their Divine Fist Sect to come to Mount Emei seemed to be for the sacred object left by the legendary Bodhisattva.

Monk Yuanming smiled bitterly, recited a Buddha name, and said: "Those who are destined for gods meet them, those who are destined to get them, and those who are destined to understand them." But we don't have that fate, so naturally we can't see the true body of the gods. ”

"Fate? Does that mean that even you don't know what the Bodhisattva left behind? Since you can't even find that thing, what did Yuantong do, could it be that he finally found it? I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"No, no, no."

Monk Yuanming said softly: "More than a hundred years ago, the temple of the Dharma Master had the fate to see the true body of the gods, and under it to comprehend the half of the moon, and finally the Dharma made great progress, when the Dharma Master returned, it took several years to make a Buddha lamp by hand, which contained his lifelong Dharma experience and the enlightenment obtained in the meditation of the gods, and the Dharma Master in the Buddha lamp made on the day, then sat down with a smile, according to the instructions of the Dharma Master, his disciples put his relics in the Buddha lamp, Since then, the Buddha lamp has the true Buddha nature and has become the treasure of our Hongchun Temple. ”

"It's the seven-sided Thousand Buddha Lotus Lamp in your scripture building, it seems that the Yuantong monk has put his mind on the Buddha lamp." I said, no wonder the Buddha power of the Buddha lamp is so powerful, it turns out that there is a relics of a monk who has attained the Tao in it, and it is definitely a treasure of Buddhism.

Monk Yuanming nodded and said: "Yuantong wanted to participate in the Seven Directions Thousand Buddha Lotus Lamp, naturally he was allowed by the master, but he was tempted by the evil demon for some reason in the process of enlightenment, and began to doubt the correctness of his Buddhism, and even wanted to break the Seven Thousand Buddha Lotus Lamp, take out the relics inside, and swallow it to improve his Buddha power." However, his abnormal movement eventually attracted the master and several uncles, who stopped him in an emergency. Yuantong was completely controlled by the demons at that time, and in desperation, the master and others controlled him in the firewood room, and prepared to invite several monks on Mount Emei to chant for Yuantong together, and the demons in his body were transformed and returned to their nature. ”

A few days later, at the invitation of the master, several masters of the entire Mount Emei Buddhism who had the highest level of cultivation began to recite the Duhua Sutra for Yuantong at the same time, and finally the demonic nature in Yuantong's body was almost gone, and Yuantong seemed to be back to normal on the surface. However, what no one expected was that Yuantong was actually a deep seed of demons, he took advantage of the unpreparedness of several masters, and suddenly burst out, opened a killing ring in the temple, and rushed into the Tibetan scripture building, wanting to destroy the Thousand Buddha Lotus Lamp of the Seven Directions with his own hands, but at that time several mages rushed to stop it, under a dispute, he reluctantly killed Yuantong, Yuantong's blood splashed on the Buddha lamp, and his soul turned into a powerful ghost and rushed into the Buddha lamp, wanting to seize the relics with the body of a powerful ghost, and finally was trapped in the Buddha lamp by several mages, But after Yuantong turned into a powerful ghost, it was really terrifying, he sacrificed half of his soul, rushed out with the body of a remnant soul, and disappeared without a trace, never heard from him again. After Monk Yuanming finished speaking, he sighed, with a sad face, and his thoughts seemed to return to the accident many years ago.

A few of us were dumbfounded, and although the story of this round was true, it was even more bizarre than that. A Buddhist disciple with extremely high Buddha nature and deep Buddha affinity actually fell into the devil's path in an instant, from the Buddha to the demon, turned into a ghost, and never recovered.

"So, half of Yuantong's soul should still be trapped in that Buddha lamp?" Cao Jinbao suddenly spoke, and his words hit the nail on the head.

I pursed my lips and said: "It shouldn't be possible, I just used the Qi Hope Technique to see the kind of Buddha light emitted by the Buddha lamp from a long distance, and the ordinary soul will be directly transformed by the Buddha light before it gets close, and it is already a very bizarre thing that Yuantong can escape half of the remnant soul, after so many years, the half of the soul he left in the Buddha lamp should have already been crossed." ”

Just as we spoke, the silent little monk of Qingyuan screamed, as if he was frightened by something, and he trembled and asked Yuan Ming: "Master, the Buddha spirit in the Thousand Buddha Lotus Lamp of the Seven Directions ......"

Buddha spirit?

My heart moved, what is this, could it be related to the Yuantong monk?

Sure enough, the monk Yuanming sighed and said, "That Buddha spirit is actually the other half of Yuantong's soul. ”

"Master, I don't understand what you say, what kind of Buddha spirit, how does this have anything to do with Yuantong." Xia Yuanyang asked suspiciously.

Monk Yuanming said softly: "Amitabha, when Yuantong's soul ran into the Buddha lamp, I don't know what changed, his soul was divided into two halves, half is the ghost who escaped, representing his demonic nature, and the other half trapped in the Buddha lamp represents Yuantong's innate Buddha nature. Half Buddha and half demon, respectively representing the good side and the evil side of Yuantong. The side of his Buddha nature was transformed by the light of the Buddha, and since then he has been living in the Buddha lamp and contemplating the Dharma, which may be what the master expected of him back then. ”

The corners of my mouth twitched slightly, what this old monk said was really incredible, a person's soul was forcibly divided into good and evil by the Buddha lamp. In this way, the Yuantong we saw in that line of heaven was actually his representative of the evil side of the demonic nature, and he asked us to destroy the Thousand Buddha Lotus Lamps of the Seven Directions, didn't he want us to destroy the place where his good face and soul resided, I suddenly realized in an instant, and I saw this matter thoroughly.

"Now that the evil side of Yuantong has appeared, I'm afraid I can't stay out of this matter. Ladies and gentlemen, let's go with the poor monk to see the Buddha spirit first. Yuan Ming recited the Buddha's name and walked towards the door.

A few of us hurriedly followed him towards the scripture building.

"Lao Chen, do you say that what this old monk said is true, shouldn't a person's soul be complete, it can be forcibly divided into two halves, and it can exist alone, I have never heard of this kind of thing, it always feels too weird." Xia Yuanyang put his head close to my ear and whispered to me.

I whispered: "Let's take a look first, this world is so big, there are no surprises, it's normal that you haven't heard of this, wait a minute, as long as we see the Buddha spirit that represents the good face of Yuantong, we will naturally know the truth or falsehood." In this matter, there is no need for the old monk to lie to us. ”

Walking out of the door, the night became deeper and deeper, and there was still no ray of light of stars and moon in the sky, as if to indicate that tonight was a dark world, a world of dead souls.

The bedroom of the monk Yuanming in the scripture building is not far away, and after bypassing a few side halls, an antique pavilion appeared in front of us.

"Master, you?"

At this moment, a bare head poked out of the scripture building, looked at us suspiciously, and asked Master Yuanming, this should be the person guarding the door of the scripture building.

"Qingdao, for the teacher, I want to take these donors into the Scripture Pavilion." Monk Yuanming said lightly, with a solemn face.

The monk nodded, and hurriedly opened the gate and let us in.

We followed the old monk of Yuanming up three floors, and it wasn't until I was in a hall on the third floor that I saw the legendary Seven Thousand Buddha Lotus Lanterns.

This huge Buddha lamp is carved by sandalwood, seven square angles, there are nine dragons coiled on each corner pillar, and countless Buddha statues are engraved on the lamp body, each treasure is solemn, and it looks respectful.

What amazes me the most is that in this Buddha lamp, there is no candle flame or anything like that, and there is no light bulb dragging wires, but more like a magical luminous body hidden in it, constantly releasing a soft golden light, illuminating the surrounding environment.

I quietly looked towards the Buddha lamp with the magic of luck, and suddenly my eyes were filled with a golden light, which sprinkled on my body, and my heart became more and more calm and serene, as if all the troubles were far away in my heart. I saw a sitting figure looming in the golden light, his treasure was solemn, his whole body was full of halos, and it seemed that the truth was that of an enlightened Buddha.

"This shine is the relics left by the original Dharma master, when several apprentices of the master put the relics in the Buddha lamp, the Buddha lamp will be lit without fire, releasing the light of the Buddha, this light is a hundred years." Monk Yuanming said softly, his words full of respect for the Master of Fa Neng.

Monk Yuanming bowed lightly to the Buddha lamp and said, "Amitabha, please also ask Senior Brother Yuantong to show up." ”

As the words of the Yuanming monk fell, the light in the Buddha lamp suddenly became much brighter, and I saw a figure whose whole body was shrouded in light floated out of the Buddha lamp, his face was kind and calm, and some illusory bodies were like a never-extinguishing light source, and there were constantly golden Buddha lights released from it.
