Chapter 376: Wancao Buddha Statue
"I said, Brother Yue, don't scare my daughter."
Sun Daqiao hurriedly protected the flower bell.
"Second Uncle Yue said this, I don't think these wolves can come, think about it, if the wolves really come, will Zen Master Gu Ming and Jingkong still be alive? I've heard that tigers, wolves, and beasts don't enter the temple. ”
After Song Siyuan finished speaking, Yue Guanchao opened the monk's house and jumped on the eaves in three or two.
He took advantage of the night to look around, and there were indeed a few green-eyed wolves howling towards the crack under the cliff, but no matter how they called, they only dared to be on the mountain road outside the crack, never approaching the ancient temple, and after looking for a long time, they didn't find that the wolves had the strength to break through the high wall.
Yue Guanchao was satisfied, so he shrunk his neck and went into the monk's house: "Indeed, it is not bad as Song Qianjin expected, if the wild wolves dare not come, this temple will be too strange." ”
Tomorrow, he will have a good meeting with Zen Master Gu Ming!
The wolf roars and the fox roars, and the wild barks all night.
Yue Guanchao was afraid that the wild wolves would jump into the courtyard wall, so he put on his clothes and jumped on the roof to patrol every once in a while, so in the middle of the night, when the azure and white wolves retreated, he slept peacefully.
The next day, when he was sleeping soundly, the roar of the bell tower reached his ears, and at first he could block his ears and hide under the quilt, but as the bell rang frequently, he had no interest in sleeping.
Helpless, Yue Guanchao had to pack up, wash and dress, he endured sleepiness and came to the courtyard, and he could see the ancient Ming Zen master standing on the bell tower from afar, and forcefully transmitted the bell to the bottom of the mountain.
In the distance, the red sun rises from the cloud.
He stood on the roof of the monk's house and looked down the mountain through the cracks, the ancient town of Yuhua gradually woke up in the early morning bell ringing, everywhere there were chickens and dogs barking, curling smoke, you can see the market department stores bustling and selling, pedestrians flowing one after another.
After the ancient Ming Zen master got down the bell tower, he came to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and Yue Guanchao followed him into the main hall.
As soon as you enter the Daxiong Palace, the temple is dilapidated and the curtain is broken.
You can see the mural of the story of the Ten Thousand Buddhas subduing the demons and bandits on the left and right, and many gods and Buddhas appear in the murals, and it can be seen that the demons are subdued by the spiritual treasures, revealing all kinds of fearful looks, and this kind of face is even more terrifying after the paint fades and the stone wall is exposed.
In front of the mural, many clay bronze lacquered Dharma protectors are distributed on lotus seats in various postures, with majestic expressions and angry eyes, making people unapproachable.
On the stone platform in the middle is the smiling Buddha on the roof.
This Buddha is wearing a robe, with long eyebrows and narrow eyes, a full bun, revealing his heart, a wide belly and a big belly, and it can be seen that his legs are lying cross-legged on the lotus platform, and his face is kind with his hands pinching the Dharma seal, and he has a feeling of pity for the common people with low eyebrows.
This Buddha is similar to the Buddha statues in other temples, and it is also covered with heavy grass from the toes to the top of the head, and there are often unnamed flowers in the corners of the place, and the eyes, ears, mouth and nose grow flower branches, which look like the Buddha's whole body is full of luxuriant flowers and plants.
What should be full of life, in this dilapidated palace, no matter how you look at it, it is unusual, revealing a strange sense of curiosity, and after watching it for a long time, it makes people feel uncomfortable.
At this moment, the ancient Ming Zen master picked up the broken incense burner, inserted a few incense sticks in it, and waited for the smoke to rise, it can be seen that the smoke lingered around the Buddha, he and the little novice sat on the futon, knocking on the fish and chanting the scriptures with great piety.
Yue Guanchao saw that the time was ripe, so he walked up to him and asked, "Master, why don't you enter the wild wolf in this temple~"
As soon as these words came out, Zen Master Gu Ming stopped knocking on the fish and turned his head to stare.
"Why does the donor want to know this?"
Yue Guanchao looked at the old monk, his face was light and light, without any emotion.
He looked at the old monk and his eyes lit up: "So, you know the reason why there are no wild wolves in the temple." ”
Gu Ming Zen Master shook his head, according to the truth: "The poor monk doesn't know, but in the past 20 years, he has indeed seen that wild wolves and beasts never enter, and he is curious about the reason, but he has been looking for several years without a conclusion, and can only guess that there is a place of Buddha, and there is my Buddha's protection." ”
"Am I protected by the Buddha? This is too mysterious, the Buddha statue in this temple is so strange, do you say it will be related to the Buddha statue, I look at the cold and frozen, there are still things growing on this clay statue, it looks very strange. ”
As Yue Guanchao spoke, he stretched out his hand to pull out the weeds, but as soon as his hand reached mid-air, he was immediately stopped by a wooden pestle and stopped in mid-air.
A trace of panic flashed in the eyes of the old monk Gu Ming: "Donor, although the Buddhist temple is broken, it is still an important place for Buddhism, how can you be so disrespectful to the Buddha." ”
"If it's not a Buddha statue, it must be something else in the mountains?"
Yue Guanchao looked at the old monk with a smile and continued: "Maybe something has become a wild wolf, a fox, a wild cat or something!" ”
When Zen Master Gu Ming heard the wild cat, his pupils trembled slightly, and his hands were folded: "I also hope that the donor will be cautious in his words and deeds, and the Tanuki Langjun will hear what the believers say. ”
Yue Guanchao knew that if he asked Zen Master Gu Ming to tell him the legend of the tanuki, he was very likely to resist more, but as long as he added a precondition, he was not afraid of being a saw-mouthed gourd.
People always like to compromise, and if you ask him about the Tanuki Langjun, he will definitely not want to say, but if you plan to destroy the Buddha statue, in order to stop you, some things will become easy to discuss.
"Hey~ Since the donor insists on knowing, I'll tell you."
"Clearance, avoidance~"
