174 Ancient Tree Sutra 2

After the water unicorn came out of the valley, he shook his body, and Wuzi turned into the image of the old ox before, landing on all fours, and seemed to run slowly in the direction of Gain.

This ancient body poison Tianzhu, for cattle and large livestock is very respectful, especially the rare white cow, is regarded as a fairy Buddha mount, this water unicorn has become a cattle, although not as conspicuous as the white cow, but no one dares to kill, even if it seems to be ownerless. On the contrary, wherever you go, wherever there are people, there will be people who will provide them with pure water and sweet grass for them to eat.

However, there are no absolutes in the world, and more often in later generations, this understanding is also aimed at Indian white cattle, as for buffaloes and cattle are also regarded as the objects of slaughter, and India alone exports more than 10 million heads of beef every year. It's just that now is the era of the Great Sui Empire, and the productivity of the body is still very low, although the people are also numerous, but they have not yet reached the level of density in later generations, at least now on the way out of the Great Snow Mountain to Hua's City, that is, only the river valley area has enough people.

Although the water unicorn takes the river valley as a reference, but this guy is a mythical beast after all, climbing the water, going over the mountains and mountains, such as walking on the flat ground, and the foot is fast, even if you encounter a bad heart, you can only call the lotus in vain.

In short, the guy was able to find Gain, who had just set out, outside of Nalanda.

This is not a big surprise for Gain, it can be seen that although he is a monk, he is still willing to have someone click on him and care about him.

After Gayin learned ancient Sanskrit in Nalanda, he also used the huge merit and wish accumulated by Nalanda to re-deduce the whereabouts of the Buddhist scripture that Li Ning said. Although the scope of the deduction is still large enough, but Li Ning reminded Gayin that the Buddhist scripture was hidden in an ancient tree, although the time is far apart, but the ancient tree is an ancient tree after all, and now it will only be more stout and majestic, and there are also a number.

Dressed in a poisonous pale yellow sari, dressed in a veil of the same color, it looks very solemn and sacred, sitting on the back of the old white cow, it looks like a god and Buddha, as long as the people who see Gain's body poison along the way, they can't help but kneel on the ground, prostrate together, chant the holy words and pray for it, faintly, Gain and the white cow seem to be shrouded in a golden halo.

(After the water qilin met Gain, he learned that the white bull was the god that the poisonous people thought it was, not the scalper who changed by himself, no wonder there were always a few malicious eyes of ill-intentioned people on the road, as if they were going to kill themselves and eat meat.) )

Before Shakya founded Buddhism, the body poison was mainly spread in Hinduism, (although Hinduism is the name of later generations, but it does not prevent it from being used first) it comes from the more ancient era of the body poison Vedic era and the more ancient Habara culture era, and before Laojun traveled west to Hangu Pass, the prototype of Hinduism in later generations was formally formed. And the mount of Shiva, one of the supreme gods of this religion, is the white bull. Therefore, in the body poison, only the white cow is the real free cow, and nothing else.

Sitting on the back of the white bull that changes from the water qilin, Gain is naturally regarded as a god by the poisonous people, although it is not the same.

When the water unicorn went to meet Gain, he was alone, naturally he walked fast, and after receiving Gain, he was not in a hurry, carrying the heroine, and hurried slowly, but even so, it was only a little more than a day, and he came to the corpse Naga, and it was dusk at this time. The setting sun shines on the leaves of the saro tree, flashing golden spots, and under the breeze, only the rustle of the saro leaves, smelling the faint fragrance of the saro tree, makes people unconsciously relaxed.

It is said that the Buddha's demise was between two sarotrees, so this sarotree is also regarded as a sacred tree of Buddhism, and its leaves are also used as a carrier for writing Buddhist scriptures. Later, the spiritual talisman given to Li Hong by the Seven Elders of Lishan was written from the leaves of the Salo tree, but it was only because of the hasty production that it could be used three times.

Another type of Buddhist scripture that is often recorded for monks is the bay leaf, which is different from the saro tree, which is from the leaves of the shell tree, which is similar to a palm tree, because the leaves of the shell tree (Dora tree) are natural pages as long as they are properly processed, which is very convenient to use, so at the beginning, with Lin Xiao's knowledge, he guessed that the Buddhist scripture in the tree should be a bay leaf scripture!

If Lin Xiao's guess is right, then the Bayeux Sutra and the Twin Trees complement each other, and even this Sutra will not be too far away from the Buddha's extinction of the Twin Trees, so in fact, the scope of Gain's search is not large. And in order to show reverence for the Buddha, this sutra will certainly not be on the front and back of the tree, but only on both sides, so that the scope of the search has been narrowed down a lot.

After worshipping the Buddha at the place where the Buddha had gone into extinction, Gain successfully found a tall saro tree. This saro tree is full of six or seven people hugging each other, there is an inconspicuous small hole about seven feet high above the root of the tree, like a young man's forearm, there are countless small Sanskrit letters engraved around the hole, the distance is close, you can hear the Zen chanting of countless monks chanting Buddhist scriptures, ethereal and misty, but solemn.

This should be the ancient tree scripture that Li Ning was referring to.

Gain fell down under the tree, clasped his hands together, and gave a sincere prayer, then got up and put his hand into the hollow of the tree, and without hindrance, took out a wooden box from the hollow. The wooden box is also depicted with countless Sanskrit letters, as well as the images of the gods and Buddhas in a realistic form, such as Buddha, Bodhisattva, Arhat, Vajra, Heavenly King, Heavenly Maiden and the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon.

The wooden box was a long strip, an inch and a half wide, but four feet long. Open the lid of the box, from left to right, vertical row of these three groups of Bayeux scriptures, after thousands of years, this Bayeux scriptures are still brand-new, slightly brownish and yellow color, appear thick like the earth and mountains, the iron blue handwriting between the lines are hidden cash color Buddha light, so that people see it, the heart is clear, as if returning to the mother's embrace.

Gain was not in a hurry to look through the enlightenment, but just closed the wooden box again, released it into the Dharma treasure bag, and bowed to the Buddha again to show his gratitude. Then he turned over on the back of the water qilin, and now he was going to set off to the valley of the old man Xuexue and join Lin Xiao.

The Heavenly Decree Sutra belongs, so after Gayin searched for it and found it, nothing happened, and even the countless eminent monks who were originally practicing in the place where the Buddha entered and disappeared did not see any of them, as if they had entered another dimension. Gain didn't think about it, but it was the kindness of the Buddha, and he specially gave the scriptures, and after thanking him, he also left. But he didn't know that at this time, in the city outside the place where the Buddha entered the corpse, there were senior monks who were quietly watching Gayin's every move, but the Buddhist magic used the countless wishes here for thousands of years, and it was not noticed by Gain.

After Gayin left, an old monk with a thin face, short stature, and wrinkled face spoke: "I just don't know if our monks can add another great virtue to my Buddhist sect with such an arrangement." ”

"Senior brother's words are wrong. We are for the glory of Buddhism, and we only need to do things with all our hearts. A monk who was sitting opposite the thin old monk said that he was white and pure like a young man.

"The junior brother is right, it is that the senior brother has some gains and losses, and when he goes to the ashram to retreat for a few days, he will have to rely on the junior brother to bother after that. ”

"It's okay, senior brother will go by himself. If it's not one of us, you don't need to care. ”

Lin Xiao, who was far away in the valley of the old man of Snow Snow Mountain pondering the Shatang Divine Tree, also got the transmission of the water qilin at this time, and knew that Gayin had successfully found the ancient tree scriptures, and he immediately became excited. Although monks can ignore the geographical environment and settle with what happens, after all, this is not their own territory, and there will be some places that they are not used to. Besides, Lin Xiao also thought about going to Gayin's dojo Phantom Wave Pool to have a good visit.

Phantom Wave Pool is known as one of the seventeen caves in the southwest, although it is located between the poor mountains and bad waters, but it is very beautiful and beautiful. And the phantom wave pool was long before Gain moved in, it was the immortal cave, and the inner nave was formed, and it was laid out according to the five elements, but at this time, there was no later five palaces headed by the water palace, although it was called a pool, but there was only a pool of clear water, and the top was covered by countless sword grasses, and it was easy to see the shallow pool under it.

After Gayin was reincarnated as a holy aunt, he inadvertently entered the Phantom Wave Pool, from which he obtained the Taoist book of his initial practice and several magic weapons, and then began to gradually improve and rebuild this holy place of cultivation. But Gain is only one person, so this progress is not fast. In particular, Gayin's daily cultivation and reading scriptures and Taoist books are full, and there is even less time to perfect the phantom wave pool, which is still thanks to the benefit of Gayin being a housemaid, and rarely goes out, which is in addition to cultivation, with alchemy, refining treasures and renovating the palace as a pastime, and it has the current appearance.

The original pool of the Phantom Wave Pool, and the four temples in the caves, there was no passage between the temples before, but they were placed in four directions, as a master, disciples, guests, alchemy refining tools, and many other purposes, and after Gayin became the master, he accidentally opened his brain, trying to redesign the five elements corresponding to the five organs of the human body, so the most he usually did was to design the passages between the halls of the caves, take the meaning of the five elements of mutual restraint, design light and dark channels, and also lay out forbidden formations. This kind of work is not done in a day, so up to now, the appearance of this for posterity has only been completed by less than 20%. As for the secret passage leading to the outside of the Phantom Wave Pool and the back cave where Gain sat down later, they have not yet been built.
