Chapter 33: Statues
Lei Aniu has been a soldier since he was a child, and he has been a seafarer and a soldier, so he is very good at surviving in adversity, and he knows how to find nourishment for survival in the turbulent times. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This knowledge of smashing Buddha statues is his tried and tested life-saving trick.
After he said this, Wu Ban Blind and Zhao Qingshan were a little speechless, but after thinking about it, they really couldn't find any other way out, so at the instigation of Lei Aniu, they also acquiesced in his plan to smash the Buddha statue.
The servant nodded and quickened his pace, walking towards the broken temple shrine surrounded by mountains.
Although it was to speed up, but with the cripple of Wu half-blind, Lei Aniu and Zhao Qingshan were just snails changing to turtle speed, until the sun was setting in the west and the sunset was afterglow, these three came to the location of the ancient temple pagoda.
At the entrance of the ancient temple in the deep mountains, when everyone finally came to the gate of the broken temple, they all sighed at the dilapidated temple.
Looking at it, this dilapidated temple is actually "provincial", and the half-person-high stone wall has collapsed in many places, leaving only a gap in the shape of a glaive, which is considered the "main gate".
The main gate passed through the ruins of the Heavenly King Palace, and was facing the "Daxiong Treasure Hall", which had been completely defeated, but was still standing.
In such a place, even the previous sworn Lei Ah Niu followed the drum, because if this temple was abandoned for too long, it is estimated that the food in the stomach of the idol would have been moldy, and when the time comes, let alone eat and drink, it is okay not to damage the stomach.
However, since they have come here, there is really no reason to go out, and with such a burden as Wu Banblind, everyone also needs to prepare urgently and think of a way out.
Therefore, the servants still supported each other, step by step into the courtyard wall of the ancient temple, and paced towards the gray-black "Daxiong Treasure Hall" opposite.
Without taking a few steps, Zhao Qingshan felt that this temple was not normal.
Zhao Qingshan was an old man in the Five Organs Temple, and he had a lot of contact with the three sects and nine streams in those years, so he had some experience in the rivers and lakes. After entering the temple, Zhao Qingshan immediately felt that there was something wrong with the layout of the temple.
In ancient times, if there is no obstruction of mountains and narrow grounds, then the arrangement of the way is not a row for the layout pattern of sitting north and facing south, and the Buddha statue and Bodhisattva are placed in the north for the good women to worship and worship.
And the most peculiar thing about this temple is that its dilapidated main hall is not facing north and south, from the perspective of the sun's afterglow, the temple gate is facing west, and the scale of the entire complex is east-west.
The temple in this east-west direction is really incredible in Buddhist architecture, and even has some meaning of turning things upside down.
Zhao Qingshan didn't understand the meaning of the layout of the temple, so he could only secretly hold the family heirloom kitchen knife on his waist to defend himself, and on the other hand, he took the lead and walked into the temple in the Daxiong Treasure Hall in advance.
The interior of the Daxiong Hall is also as dilapidated as the outer gate of the entire temple.
The scale in the temple gate, about a dozen zhang square size, the wooden pillars are rotten and forested, the remnants of the tiles are piled up all over the ground, the guano mixed with the period, the rotten grass is countless, it is estimated that no one has cleaned it for more than ten years.
The huge temple shows the former glory of the temple, but today's decay is in stark contrast to that grandeur, with three sculptures more than a foot high in the center of the temple, Shakyamuni in the center, and Ananda and Kasya, respectively.
The Buddha is cultivated by people, born from the heart, and the roof tiles in this treasure hall are exposed and trapped all over the ground, and it is not difficult to imagine the situation of the three golden statues.
When Zhao Qingshan looked at the statue, the golden bodies of the three were already dilapidated, although the gold lacquer lines and the original painting could still be seen, but the decay revealed by the broken mud tire was the most memorable.
When they met and entered the temple, Zhao Qingshan hugged his fists according to the ancient rites at that time, and after passing the "four directions" to the four corners of the main hall, he hugged his fists at the three Buddha statues and said: "Zhao Qingshan of the Lunan Confucius Hall stayed in the treasure temple, greeted the saint on behalf of the saint, borrowed the noble place to avoid the rebellion, our well water does not violate the river water, and I hope that the Buddha Haihan." ”
After saying this, Zhao Qingshan accepted the gift, and then looked up to see the face of the statue of Sakyamuni leaning forward slightly.
Then, his pupils tightened violently, and he even involuntarily shouted "Oops!"
It turned out that when Zhao Qingshan looked up, he suddenly realized that there was "something inside" in the broken statue of Sakyamuni.
As far as he could see, there was still a layer in the statue that exposed the clay fetus, and the broken mezzanine on the face only exposed a piece of the brain to the base of the left ear. But it leaves a completely different content.
Judging from the core of the exposed and peeled clay tire, there should be a slightly smaller statue inside the statue of Shakyamuni, the internal statue has blue and gold skin, a fierce god, and an erect eye in the middle of the forehead.
In the originally solemn and benevolent statue of Sakyamuni, such a true face was suddenly revealed in the mud tire, Zhao Qingshan was frightened, and then involuntarily shouted "oops".
After hearing the sound, Lei Aniu thought that Zhao Qingshan had something wrong, so he immediately lost the half-blind Wu who was holding him, and walked towards the treasure hall with his legs, but only saw Zhao Qingshan standing alone under the mud tire, raising his eyes to look at the black statue.
"Oops!" Lei Aniu sighed, and blamed Zhao Qingshan for saying, "What happened to me, isn't it just a statue?
Zhao Qingshan listened to Lei Aniu's words, and only then did he withdraw his soul from the inexplicable appearance of the ghost statue for the first time, and then he coughed and gasped slightly to hide his embarrassment, and turned to ask Lei Aniu: "Didn't you just help Wu Ban Blind?
After Zhao Qingshan's reminder, Lei Aniu remembered the half-blind man who was thrown to the ground by him eagerly, and then turned around and hurriedly went back to help him.
Wu was beaten by Lei Aniu, scolded and screamed and beaten, and said that when he returned to Guangzhou, he would open a fragrant hall to kill him, Lei Aniu knew that he was at a loss, so he had to be scolded, and he had to be accompanied by good words of "grandpa is long, grandpa is short".
In this way, with the support of Lei Aniu, Wu Ban Blind finally entered the main hall of the Daxiong Treasure Palace.
After entering the temple, Wu Blind was extremely annoyed by Lei Aniu's compensation, and finally waved his hand, and finally said that he would treat him as a fart, and said that if he really had filial piety, he would quickly get some food out, so that everyone could see his methods of looting money and food in the past.
Wu was half-blind and made Lei Aniu grin, and showed the breath of a soldier ruffian, he picked up his sleeves at that time, and walked to a smaller Bodhisattva on the right side of the three phases of the main hall, first used tiles to break the grout around the clay sculpture, and then found a fallen beam as a lever, and then grinned and prepared to push the Buddha statue to.
Lei A Niu Tian said shamelessly: "You don't understand, don't you! I can't try this trick, as long as the Buddha statue arrives, then his own weight will break himself, and then there will be something in this Buddha statue, and it will be unobstructed." ”
As he spoke, Lei Niu's wrist suddenly exerted, and the statue tilted and collapsed under his skillful support, and then shattered into countless pieces and dust.
A musty smell quickly spread. (To be continued.) )
