Chapter 137: Surprise! The snake fairy has been here! (2nd Update)
Hearing the sound of footsteps not far away, seeing that it had already alarmed people, Zhao Jianhua came back from his fear.
The messy scriptures on the ground, as well as the books spread out not far away, all indicate that everything just now is real, but the snake has disappeared like a human figure.
How can a snake read the scriptures?!
Zhao Jianhua couldn't believe it, as he got closer and closer, he couldn't care so much, gritted his teeth, his figure flashed, and he went straight out of the window.
Bai Yanfei was agile, but she was one step ahead of the others, and as soon as she arrived here, she saw the black shadow rushing by, and her eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Who are you? What are you doing here! ”
Hearing the question from behind him, Zhao Jianhua secretly said in his heart that it was bad, not only did his body not stop, but he ran faster.
This look is that there is a ghost in the heart.
Originally, Bai Yanfei was still a little suspicious in her heart, but when she saw this situation, she immediately quickly chased after her.
"Stop, police!"
Zhao Jianhua is not stupid, how can he be arrested with his hands tied, let alone a fledgling, he will be frightened by the name of the police.
But I have to say that the experience of this night was really ups and downs.
Originally, I just wanted to steal something and trick the gringos into gaining prestige in my country, but I never wanted to bump into the weird picture, and I was even almost caught.
Thinking of this, the more Zhao Jianhua thought about it, the more scared he became, and he shouted very heartily to remind:
"Stop chasing, there are monsters here, you guys should run quickly!"
Hearing this, Bai Yanfei's eyebrows furrowed, and she was even more angry in her heart, and her speed accelerated a lot, only to feel that the thief was talking nonsense, and even teasing herself.
Because of the dim light, Bai Yanfei could only see the general outline of the black shadow clearly, and did not see the face clearly, and her body was relatively thin, but her skills were very good.
Seeing that there was a railing in front of him, the black shadow supported it with one hand, and his upper body jumped directly into the air, like a leopard running in the forest.
Zhao Jianhua has been here during the day, and he has already memorized the surrounding roads, and he is more familiar with the nearby roads than Bai Yanfei.
Although Bai Yanfei is good, the black shadow in front of her picks up places with many obstacles, which invisibly makes a lot of stumbling blocks for her, and the distance between the two is constantly widening.
Until the figure disappeared into the night, Bai Yanfei had no choice but to give up, she really couldn't catch up.
This thief is like a ghost running behind him, the speed is amazing, it's a pity to be a thief here, why not run track and field?
"Let's go back and see the scene first."
Bai Yanfei could only return, planning to look for clues at the scene, and it would not be too late to call the police to arrest the thief.
……
On the other side, monks and pilgrims also hurried to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and raised their hands to turn on the lights.
Immediately, what I saw was an open door and scriptures all over the ground, and for a while, my heart hung in my throat.
"What's going on, isn't it a thief?"
"I remember closing the door and locking it."
"Amitabha, what a sin."
A group of monks beat their chests, but they also knew that they did not destroy the scene, after all, the people had already run away, and it would be useless to go in now.
"Even stealing the temple, aren't you afraid of retribution!"
"Who's to say it isn't."
The pilgrims gathered at the door also whispered and were filled with righteous indignation.
Just waited at the door for a while, Bai Yanfei ran back out of breath, and shook her head in the face of the eager eyes of a group of monks.
"It should be a thief, but unfortunately I didn't catch up, you guys hurry up and see if you have lost anything."
"Hurry up and count the scriptures."
The host ordered, everyone hurriedly walked into the room, I don't know if it was their illusion, the moment they stepped in, there seemed to be a Buddha voice whispering, slightly soothing the uneasiness in their hearts.
It is also strange to say that the original anxious and flustered heart suddenly became calm.
After some inspection, it was found that although the scriptures were a little messy, there was no damage, and in the innermost part of the scripture pavilion, there was a scripture book that was spread out, and it seemed that someone had read it here not long ago.
"When contemplating the bodhisattva of self-reliance, when he walks in the deep prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he overcomes all suffering. Relics, the color is not different from the emptiness, the emptiness is not different from the color, the color is the emptiness, the emptiness is the color, and the same is true when you want to know it."
The host picked up the scripture and subconsciously read out the above sentence, which was the "Prajna Heart Sutra" written by Zhi Dun.
However, when they heard this verse, the other elderly monks were stunned for a moment, and suddenly froze on the spot, as if in a daze.
"Master, master, what's wrong with you?"
A little novice noticed the abnormality of the old monk and hurriedly asked, which immediately attracted the attention of a group of pilgrims, all of whom wondered.
But I saw several older monks stunned in place, looking at the "Prajna Heart Sutra" in the host's hand in confusion, and in an instant they seemed to understand something, and slowly bent down and sat on the spot.
“???”
"Why did these monks sit down suddenly?"
"What happened?"
Not to mention that the pilgrims were confused, even a few little novices were at a loss and at a loss.
These monks are the oldest people in Qiguang Temple, often accompanied by green lanterns, under the influence of this for the study of Buddhism, can not be said to be a monk of the Tao, but also quite insightful.
The pilgrims who come and go every day want to talk to these monks face-to-face, solve the doubts in their hearts, and get the advice of the monks.
But now, looking at their sudden move, everyone is scratching their heads.
Said to count the scriptures, but they just sat there!
The attitude is leisurely and the expression is relieved!
Don't seem to be worried about the theft of the scriptures?
For a while, in this chaotic and tense environment, the movements of several senior monks were obviously inversely proportional.
Not only them, but even the host next to them seemed to be infected, with a thoughtful expression, and then put down the "Prajna Heart Sutra", folded his hands and recited a Buddha name, and slowly sat on the ground.
Looking at this scene, someone lowered his voice and asked the young monk, "What's going on?" Isn't there a thief coming, why not be in a hurry! ”
The young monk didn't know what was going on, and shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little delicate, the originally tense atmosphere was filled with a solemnity, and others did not dare to open their mouths to disturb, for fear of disturbing these inexplicable monks.
"That's what I smelled. For a time, the Buddha lived in the city of the king's house, in the mountains of Jajari, and was ...... with 12,000 great monks."
The low chanting sound soon wafted into the night, as if with an indescribable charm, and the mood of everyone calmed down.
After listening carefully for a while, the young monk standing on the side changed his face and couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice:
"This is Myoho-renge-kyo! Brother, isn't it? ”
"That's right!"
Hearing this, the young monks suddenly became nervous, and even the misty little novice became serious.
The pilgrims on the side were very dazed, and couldn't help but ask, "Master, what does this chanting say?" ”
The young monk who was called his senior brother explained: "The Myoho-renge-kyo is not usually recited, but only on major festivals, the host and the uncles will recite it, because it is meant to be a source of gratitude to the Buddha!" Therefore, the "Myoho-renge-kyo" is not allowed to be recited at will on weekdays, otherwise it is not appropriate to disturb the Buddha every day. ”
The senior disciple on the side had a complicated face, and said in a puzzled manner: "Now that the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion has just been stolen, and it is not a major festival, how can it be easy to recite such a Buddhist scripture?" Isn't this disrespectful to the Buddha? What the hell is the master doing! ”
Hearing the explanation, the pilgrims and Bai Yanfei suddenly realized, but their expressions became more and more confused.
If according to what the young monks said, why did these eminent monks suddenly sit on the ground and even recite Buddhist scriptures that are not allowed to be recited on weekdays?
They didn't dare to make a noise, so they could only wait and see.
"All are arhats, all the leaks have been exhausted, there are no more troubles, they have caught their own interests, they have all the knots, and their hearts are at ease"
The voice of the Buddha whispered, like a light in the darkness, guiding everyone in the direction of progress.
It seems that even their hearts have been washed away.
I don't know how long it took, but the host and a few senior monks slowly opened their eyes, but their expressions were a little stunned.
It wasn't until they slowly got up that Bai Yanfei dared to go up and ask: "A few masters, what ...... you were just now?"
The host looked down at the "Prajna Heart Sutra" in his hand and muttered:
"The Buddha has been here!"
Leaving such a specious sentence, the host recited a Buddha name, and then kept silent, just lowered his head and flipped through the Prajna Heart Sutra, as if he had an understanding.
"Did the Buddha come? Why didn't we see that? ”
"It seems that I am not sincere on weekdays!"
The pilgrims were even more confused, and they couldn't figure out what the situation was, so they silently vomited in their hearts.
The young monk next to him couldn't help but ask, "Master, what happened just now?" Did the Buddha really come? ”
"Amitabha."
The old monk's eyes were pious, looking at the scriptures in the host's hand, full of awe, and replied with his hands folded: "Fang Cai, as soon as I entered this Tibetan scripture pavilion, the teacher's soul was cleansed, and when I saw this "Prajna Heart Sutra", I seemed to have an understanding, and my heart was sincere and ethereal, as if I had come to the Pure Land of Bliss, and saw a touch of golden light pass away. Somehow, I can only sit cross-legged on my knees, recite Buddhist scriptures to pray, and feel the opportunity for enlightenment. ”
"And the Prajna Heart Sutra is the work of the master of Zhidu." As he spoke, he pointed to the scriptures on the ground, "So, these scriptures must be read by Master Zhidu, just now as a teacher just chanting for a moment, and his thoughts are understandable, and the Buddhism has improved a lot, incredible!" ”
At this time, the other old monks who had sat cross-legged also nodded one after another, with the same expressions on their faces, all with memories and amazement.
"It must be the Buddha who has been here!"
After listening to the old monk's story, the little monk suddenly realized that he understood everything in an instant.
The other monks had the same expressions, they were woken up in the middle of the night, they were sleepy, but when they came to the Scripture Pavilion, they were in good spirits.
Especially after listening to the presiding officer and the senior monk reciting the scriptures, all the fatigue was swept away, and my heart was inexplicably a little ethereal, as if I had a lot of new understanding of Buddhism.
It turned out that there was a reason for the incident, but it was Master Zhi Dun who had come?
I didn't see it though......
But no matter how much it is, what the master says is what it is.
"Master, I, I've come to my senses!"
The old monk looked at the little monk suspiciously, but he didn't say anything in the end.
At the same time, the pilgrims on the side and Bai Yanfei were unbelievable, they couldn't understand the conversation between the master and apprentice at all, but they could probably understand what it meant.
But because of this, I feel more and more incomprehensible, is there really such a god?
Thinking of the black shadow just now, Bai Yanfei came back to her senses, a little anxious, now is not the time to chant scriptures and discuss Buddhism.
"Presiding, I think you still have to take stock of the scriptures to see if anything is lost, and if so, we should file a case quickly."
After Bai Yanfei's reminder, the monks began to count the number without hurry.
"It's okay, the Buddha will flip through the book, and he won't lose anything."
They seemed certain that nothing would be lost here, but Bai Yanfei didn't think so.
She also looked for clues in the Scripture Pavilion, and there were footprints at the door, which stretched all the way into the house, and finally stopped at the window.
Strangely, there are no footprints next to the bookshelves, and there are no traces of human action.
In other words, it is impossible for a thief to take down the scriptures, and he will not be able to take them out of the air.
So who took down these scriptures?
Bai Yanfei's doubts deepened, and she suddenly remembered what the thief said when she was chasing.
"Got a youkai?"
And the thief's sudden exclamation before.
Could it be that the thief wanted to steal something, but ended up running into something here?
Bai Yanfei had all kinds of conjectures in her heart.
"But it can't be that you bumped into the Buddha and mistook it for a monster, so you screamed and were scared away, right?"
Bai Yanfei muttered, and a monk on the side heard the words, and immediately admonished solemnly: "Donor, don't talk nonsense, the Buddha is the Buddha, the Buddha has all kinds of beings, even if there are really monsters, it is also the Buddha!" ”
Bai Yanfei was speechless, and could only say yes again and again, without a strong mouth.
Soon, the monks quickly finished counting, "Presiding, there is no loss of scriptures. ”
The host and a few other eminent monks were not surprised by this, it seemed that they had expected it, but they had been staring at the "Prajna Heart Sutra", and everything else cared.
"Donor, don't worry."
The monk's words brought Bai Yanfei's thoughts back to reality, and she nodded with a stunned expression.
"It's really not lost? Isn't the one who flips the book really a thief? Besides the thief, is there anyone else here? But why is there no trace of the book at all......
I don't know if it was affected by the monk's words, but she suddenly felt inexplicably that this place seemed to be a bit extraordinary.
The second half of the night.
The Scripture Pavilion was closed again, but the "Prajna Heart Sutra" was taken away by the host and wanted to be specially enshrined, after all, this was read by Master Zhi Dun himself!
Calm was restored in the temple again, and after a night of tossing and turning, it was evident that it was no longer possible to sleep, and the monks began to do their homework, while the pilgrims chatted in twos and threes.
Outside the temple that no one knows.
Ye Qin was cultivating, consolidating his latest visualization object, the Sutra.
If it weren't for being disturbed suddenly, Ye Qin should have been consolidated in the Scripture Pavilion, and was awakened when reading books rose, Ye Qin was also a little annoyed, but after thinking about it, he finally forgot it and didn't toss that human being again.
Cultivation has cause and effect, and naturally there are merits, and now I just imagined success and was in a good mood, so I barely let that stinky boy go.
As for what happened in the temple later, Ye Qin naturally sensed it.
It is all because he visualized enlightenment in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and he still visualized the "Prajna Heart Sutra", and the Buddha is used for mystery, so he will leave the afterglow of cultivation, so that these ordinary monks who practice Buddhism all year round have some understanding, and it makes them feel confident about the Buddha's manifestation in their hearts.
"Strangely, after this visualization, the realm is complete, and there is no thunder tribulation deterrence. I haven't been here twice in a row, so I'm not used to it! ”
Ye Qin was confused, just like the last time he visualized the river, after contemplating the Prajna Heart Sutra this time, there was also no calamity deterrence.
"There may really be a big wave brewing!"
Ye Qin was a little flustered, but helpless.
As the morning light appeared in the sky, a touch of azure pierced the darkness and brought some light.
In the midst of the radiance, everything was coated with a faint golden light, even the green snake scales.
"A cause and effect here, I will pay you back another day."
Ye Qin looked back at Qiguang Temple, and then walked away in the morning glow.
……
In the temple wings.
Until the next morning, Bai Yanfei and the old man were also ready to say goodbye after breakfast.
"Fei Fei, this Qiguang Temple is really extraordinary, even Master Zhi Dun has appeared, the talisman I asked you for, you must wear it, it will bless you."
Along the way, the old man kept chattering, convinced of the events of last night, not only him, but also the other pilgrims.
Although no one saw any strange places, only the mess everywhere, but the reaction of the senior monks could not be faked, and looking at their serious appearance, they couldn't help but infect everyone.
Bai Yanfei looked thoughtful, all she thought about in the second half of the night was what happened last night.
Although there was nothing lost in the temple, according to the traces of the scene and the sneakiness of the black shadow, Bai Yanfei was sure that it was definitely a thief.
But clues at the scene showed that the scriptures that were flipped through had nothing to do with the thief.
But how can it really be the Buddha's manifestation and reading books?
It's outrageous!
Thinking of the monster in the thief's mouth again, she couldn't tell whether it was a joke or the truth for a while.
Does this have anything to do with the Buddha's apparition in the monk's mouth?
What exactly did the thief see?
For a while, this matter became a mystery in Bai Yanfei's heart that could not be solved but could not be dispersed.
……
This news spread quickly, and many people even came to see the enshrined volume of the Prajna Heart Sutra.
The popularity of Qiguang Temple was already good, but now it is even more explosive, so that the temple gate has to temporarily post a notice that 'because of the large flow of people, the reception will be suspended'.
After Bai Yanfei came back from vacation, everyone found that she had an extra amulet around her neck, and her colleague couldn't help but ask curiously: "I remember that you don't like to wear accessories." ”
"This is what my grandfather begged me for in Qiguang Temple, it's not good to refuse the kindness of the old man, so I brought it and hid it in my clothes, the director shouldn't be able to see it, right?"
When my colleague heard the words "Qiguang Temple", his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Is that the temple that recently said that the Buddha apparitions?"
"I've also heard that the temple is quite spiritual, and it's also popular recently, and my mother said at home yesterday that she was going to Qiguang Temple to worship on the weekend."
"I advise you not to go, Qiguang Temple has been full of people recently, it's like dumplings, and it almost didn't squeeze people to death."
"Yanfei, you just came back from over there, tell us, is it really that effective?"
Bai Yanfei glanced at the talisman on her body, remembered the events of that night, and said vaguely: "Maybe, anyway, it's quite inexplicable." ”
Seeing her trance-like expression, everyone didn't think much about it, and someone suddenly reminded: "Be careful when you go, I heard that someone saw a big snake nearby, but I feel that it may be a rumor, after all, the fire brigade has not been dispatched at all." ”
Hearing this, Bai Yanfei was stunned for a moment, as if she had suddenly triggered some memory, and suddenly froze in place.
She thought of the dazzling scene she had unexpectedly seen when she first arrived at the temple during the day yesterday.
"Yokai ......"
"Snake ......"
No one noticed Bai Yanfei's eccentricity, and after everyone talked a few more words, they were busy with their own things.
Some people believe in the Buddha's apparition, and some don't.
But no matter what, since then, Bai Yanfei's talisman has been worn with her, and she has not taken it off again except when she is washing......
