Chapter 576: The Five Roots of the Desert Sinking Sand

It was a square thing, and it turned out to be a giant stone, and the strange thing was that the boulder had a strange red color. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The red boulder fell squarely into the concave gap in the center of the altar, and the black flames lifted the dust on the altar, blowing the three of us off the altar with the impact of the air waves, like a fallen leaf swept away by the merciless autumn wind.
In the loud roar, I let out an "ah" scream, and fell heavily on the stone ground under the altar, and the pain all over my body rushed to my brain, and I cried out in my heart: This is really a fall!
I struggled to get up, and the altar was shocked by this, and it was clear that it was three floors clear, and I looked at the behemoth on the altar, and the horror in my heart came naturally. If this boulder falls on my head, it will be like swatting flies, and when I turn my head, Ren Danhu's face will also be pale, but Scarface will not have a trace of expression.
Strange in my heart, since Ren Dan explained the "Four Noble Truths", Scarface's whole person has changed, as if he has completely changed from his spirit, and without that kind of persistent energy, he faintly feels that he has a sense of guilt for the death of his brothers, and the pain on his face and the change in his mind are clear at a glance.
I really can't connect him with his previous life, the Black Lama. In any folklore, the Black Lama is a murderer who does not blink an eye and does all kinds of evil. But this person, who was his reincarnation, now has a heart of repentance. I can't help but say that this is a surprise.
At that moment, I felt another pain in my back, and the muscles in my face began to deform. He sat down on the ground and couldn't stand up.
At this moment, a loud noise was heard, and the boulder with black flames had burned through the altar and fell into the hollow interior of the altar, and the ground shook again, and the internal organs were in pain.
All three of them hummed together. Two people also suffered a lot of internal injuries, this accident no one thought that it would bring us such a big injury, three people sat or lay down, none of them could stand up.
I was anxious, and the fat man's voice was already in my ears: "What's the matter?
As soon as the words fell, the fat man and Li Sheng had already trotted into the hall, and when they saw the three of us like this, they kept urging us and helped us sit down.
The qi and blood in his heart had just calmed down, and there was another muffled sound, but this time the sound was not as loud as before, and the ground just shook and then calmed back.
Could it be that the boulder burned through something?
The fat man screamed: "Damn, what's wrong, this earthquake doesn't seem to be right." ”
"Fatty, climb up to the altar," I cried.
The fat man gnawed, grabbed the edge of the altar, and climbed up. Then the fat man shouted, "Fat man, there is a big hole in the middle of the altar." ”
After listening to the fat man, it was exactly what I thought. Just as he was about to ask what else there was, the fat man shouted again, "Damn, there seems to be crystals in here." ”
Listening to the fat man's scream, I was also puzzled in my heart, but my body really didn't listen to the command. I struggled for a long time and didn't get up.
Scarface and Ren Danhu apparently heard the fat man's words as well. The two of them adjusted. He was able to stand up on his own and staggered up to the altar. Instead, I was the last one to climb up.
The hole in the center of the altar was square and estimated to be about five meters long, and the inside of the altar was gourd-shaped, and the gear-shaped parts inside glowed with bronze. Among the bronze parts, there were crystal-like things, and the entire interior of the altar shone with a green glow......
Ren Danhu frowned slightly, and said to himself, "These bronze objects seem to be quartz. ”
I heard the fat man screaming again, and there seemed to be a mural carved in it. Under the light of the coal, there were some relief-like frescoes on the inner wall of the altar. It's just too far away from He.
The fat man asked, "Shall we go down?"
"We don't have a rope, how can we go down. ”
The fat man laughed, jumped off the altar, and raised a roll of rope. Exclaimed, "What are you?" ”
It turned out that the fat man and Li Sheng ran back to the cave path just now, collected supplies among the dead, and packed everything that could be used. But they came back to see our miserable condition, and threw it on the ground, and helped us, but there was nothing.
The fat man showed off his feat to me on the side. On one side, the rope was already tied, and before he could say hello, he "snorted" and slid down.
The fat man's voice came from the cave: "It's so beautiful in here, come down quickly"
Except for Li Sheng, who was reluctant to get down, everyone slid down the rope. By the time I climbed down, Rindanhu was already praising the carvings on the stone walls.
Attached to these bronze mechanisms, I was once again struck by the scene inside, the carvings on the inside of the altar are divided into three layers, and if there is no mistake, it should correspond to the number of layers of the altar outside.
Rindanhu exclaimed, "These carvings seem to be in the style of the Kushan Dynasty, and your Bodhisattva has Greek-style sculpture art, and this place is decorated with the shadow of Persian art......
The founder of the Gandhara kingdom, originally the Dayue clan who came to dominate the land in the 1st century AD, was about near Dunhuang, and later expanded its territory to establish the city of Peshawar in present-day Pakistan. It was occupied by the Greeks for a long time, leaving behind Greek-style sculpture art. The Gandhara people borrowed from ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome and Persia and developed them to form geometric shapes that express the harmony of beauty and the art of human sculpture that truly rejuvenates life.
The flesh bun on top of the Buddha statue inside the altar is covered by the graceful and natural wavy curls common in Greek carvings, and the Buddha statue has a shoulder-length robe, similar to a Greco-Roman carved robe, with heavy folds. The facial expression is plain, noble and calm, and the half-closed eyes exude a contemplative and introspective demeanor......
On the first level are five bodhisattvas of different forms, each with a group of people in front of them. The expressions of these five groups were also different, the first group had misty eyes and uncertain minds, the second group was stupid, the third group was surrounded by a group of jewels, and the fourth group was angry and .......
Some beautiful carvings, I asked, "Mr. Sawada, what are these carvings?"
"This first layer should be said to be the 'five stops of mind'" the so-called "five stops of the mind" is to stop the chaotic mind and impurities of the mind, this is the outer mortal sentient beings, before the desire to cultivate the Tao, the mind is too impure, so Buddhism first according to the personal roots, and cultivate the five kinds of rest and impurity of the mind...... "Rindanhu another layer of patterns, thought about it and said: "Hey, no, no, no!"
It turns out that the first layer is talking about the net five roots. Get five powers...... The five roots are the Buddha's eyes, the Dharma eyes, the discerning eyes, the heavenly eyes, and the naked eyes. Pure means clean, that is, clean and unstained.
When the root of faith is pure, there is no doubt, there is only one faith; when the root is pure, there is only advance, there is no retreat; when the root of thought is pure, there is only the root of thinking without delusion, and there is no delusional root; when the root is pure, there is no distraction; when the root of wisdom is pure, there is no foolishness.
You believe that the wisdom of the mind has taken root, and the 'purity' can be said to add fertilizer to the roots, so that it grows more vigorously and more powerful.
Because we take root, we get the five powers, and the five forces are the power of faith, the power of progress, the power of mind, the power of determination, the power of wisdom, these five powers.
The fat man laughed: "Believe it or not, I have this power."
"It's not hard in the mirror. Catch the moon in the water. "At this point. Scarface said suddenly.
I was puzzled, and I didn't understand what he was talking about for a while? Ren Dan Hu smiled and said, "Mr. Ao is getting more and more Buddha-natured. ”
Seeing that I was not clear from the fat man, he said, "It is not difficult to see your own appearance in the mirror." But when you go to the water to fish for the moon, how do you catch it? It means that the person who sees the five roots and gets the five powers is different, and you can see a rough idea, but do you really know it? Not necessarily, so you speculate, it's like fishing for the moon in the water. You can't get the moon because it's just an image. ”
But I vaguely understand that it doesn't mean that when the five roots are purified, the five forces will be obtained, just like a person drinking water, he knows whether he is warm or cold, and he will not say to people like a fat man, 'Do you know? I have purified the five roots and obtained the five forces. ”
