Chapter VIII
Finally, Wang Chen still couldn't stop the curiosity in his heart and approached the ancient temple.
The ancient temple is very simple, even dilapidated, but compared to the previous ruins, it is like a miracle.
When I approached the ancient tree in front of the ancient temple, I realized how tall this ancient tree was. Looking at this dry torso, four or five people couldn't hug it.
Knocking on the deep torso, there was a heavy sound.
Could it be that this tree is still alive?
Looking up, the top of the torso was charred black, as if it had been struck by lightning, and an imperceptible crack spread from the top of the tree to the center of the torso.
I guess I can't survive.
The ancient temple and the ancient tree inevitably made Wang Chen think of the Buddha, is this the Bodhi tree? Perhaps, whatever it was before, whether it was a sacred tree or a dead tree, it is now a thing of the past, and the cause is no longer traceable.
I left the ancient tree and came to the door of the ancient temple. A little bit of light shone through the wooden window, sprinkling on Wang Chen's body, and even his body exuded a kind of divine radiance.
When he pushed open the door and stepped into the ancient temple, when the infinite light shone on Wang Chen's body, Wang Chen's heart was completely calm.
It comes from the tranquility of the heart, the incomparable holiness, as if the whole person has been purified, as if the feather ascended to the immortal.
That kind of comfort from the depths of his soul made Wang Chen moan, this is a kind of inner sublimation, which is indescribable.
Walking in it, bathed in the baptism of holy light, Wang Chen forgot his troubles, forgot his sorrows, and even forgot himself, his heart had no distractions, and he stood under the baptism of holy light reverently.
"Wake up!"
The explosion of the stone in his mind made Wang Chen sober up, and he looked around, there was no holy light, there was only a little bit of light flickering in front of him.
"Thank you. ”
Wang Chen gently brushed the cold sweat from his forehead, he didn't expect that he would incarnate into a devout believer, this ancient temple was too weird. If it weren't for the reminder from the stone, I don't know what would have happened.
Settle your mind and look around.
In the ancient temple, there is only one Buddha statue, Wang Chen is not a believer, and he can't identify which ancient Buddha this is.
Before the Buddha statue, on the incense table, the flickering light emanated from here.
Under the flickering light of an everlasting lamp, a relic is enshrined on the incense table, and the holy light flickers from the relic.
It turned out to be a relic enshrined on the incense case, what is the reason?
There was a futon in front of the incense case, and Wang Chen knelt respectfully on the futon, thinking in his heart that my Buddha was merciful and my Buddha blessed, although he did not believe in Buddha.
Afterwards, Wang Chen picked up the relics and the lantern.
In the midst of this ruin, this ancient temple still stands. Everything has been annihilated, but the ancient temple still exists, all of which shows the uniqueness of this ancient temple.
And all this may come from this ancient lamp and this relic.
Everyone has heard of the ever-bright lantern, the temple burns for a long time, but it also needs fuel. In this deserted land, this ruin does not know how long it has existed, and the ancient lamp is still burning, which is the real everlasting lamp.
This is a treasure, at least Wang Chen thinks so, so he took the ever-bright lamp.
Relics, sacred relics of the Buddha. Although some people say that it is a stone, whose stone can emit the radiance of divinity?
So, Wang Chen also took it down, kowtowed a few respectfully, and carefully took off the two things.
After thinking about it, Wang Chen picked up the futon again, looked at the Buddha statue in front of him, and thought that he didn't have so much strength, so he gave up this idea.
Holding an ancient lamp in his hand, he explored in the ancient temple, and there was nothing except the dust accumulated over the years.
Where the hell is this?
No one answered Wang Chen's question, and he didn't find any clues. In front of the door, there is also no plaque. This ancient temple is so mysterious, just standing silently behind the entire ruins.
Wang Chen may have been the first guest to visit in the endless years, for the dust accumulated in this temple has shown that no one has been here for a long time.
"Dust?"
Wang Chen suddenly thought that there was no dust on the incense case just now. If it weren't for the footprints in the entire temple that were the only ones he had, he would have thought that someone was cleaning the incense case.
This is also a good thing, Wang Chen hugged the incense case in front of him again.
"Wang Chen. The stone finally couldn't help but speak, "You give me the things, and I'll keep them for you." ”
Hearing the stone's words, Wang Chen was stunned for a moment: "How do you keep it?"
"Although my current strength is very low, I still have the ability to put these things, don't worry about it, when you want to take it out, you just need to say it silently in your heart. ”
Hearing the stone's words, Wang Chen suddenly thought of a kind of artifact, a space magic weapon?
Thinking of this, Wang Chen's eyes lit up: "Can this Buddha statue be moved in?"
"Be content!"
Wang Chen coughed twice in embarrassment, folded his hands and bowed to the Buddha statue. The behavior just now is really disrespectful to the Buddha statue, and in this weird place, it's better not to be too presumptuous.
In this way, the stone put away the relics futon and the ancient lamp, but Wang Chen thought about it, and still took out the relics and put them close to him.
After doing all this, Wang Chen looked at this place carefully. Since there are ancient Buddha relics in this place, then this place must be extraordinary, there must be a place of detachment, is the ancient tree in front of the door really a Bodhi tree?
Wang Chen had never seen the Bodhi tree, but he knew the rumors of the Bodhi tree, and legend had it that the Buddha was the fruit of cultivation under the Bodhi tree.
The Buddha meditated under the Bodhi tree for seven days and seven nights, overcoming all kinds of evil temptations, and finally became enlightened and incarnated as the Buddha when the sky was about to dawn and the morning star was rising.
Bodhi also represents enlightenment and wisdom, which refers to the fact that people wake up from a dream, suddenly open up, realize the truth, and reach the realm of transcendence.
To be able to stand tall in this ruin, this ancient tree must be good. Thinking of this, Wang Chen stepped out of the ancient temple, came back to the ancient tree, and carefully looked at the ancient tree.
The ancient tree in front of him was like an old man in the twilight, its dry branches blackened by lightning, as if it was about to burst.
Wang Chen stared at the branches carefully, and he had a feeling that this ancient tree was not dead.
A little starlight illuminated the dim world, and Wang Chen suddenly noticed that the starlight above the ancient tree seemed to be brighter.
Wang Chen looked at the ancient tree and the starlight carefully, the starlight sprinkled on the charred branches of the ancient tree, and slowly disappeared without a trace, as if swallowed by the ancient tree.
This ancient tree is absolutely extraordinary.
