Chapter 23: The Ancient Temple (2)

Zhu Hanwen looked back and saw that it was a little novice, and he was fifteen or sixteen years old, with his hands folded and his head bowed timidly. Probably due to the relationship between the vegetarian and the food, the figure is relatively thin and not tall, only up to his chin, wearing an old monk's robe that does not fit well, although it is not patched, but it has also been washed and slightly white.

"Little master, how do you know that we are the chosen ones?" Bai Zhi was a little curious.

"The abbot asked me to wait here early this morning, saying that there would be a chosen one, I waited all morning to see that no one came, so I went to play for a while, and when I came back and saw the two donors here, I came over and asked, are you really the chosen one?"

The two exchanged glances, and Zhu Hanwen nodded slightly, "Yes, little master, since the host wants to see us, then please lead the way." Bai Zhi smiled at Xiao Shami, reached out and gently touched his bald head. Xiao Shami may have never seen this formation since he was a child, and he was a little panicked for a while, and then his face turned red, and he quickly turned around and put his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name. When he calmed down, he lowered his head and muttered, "Please come with me, two of you." He lowered his head and led the way in front, fortunately, the two of them were not ordinary people, and their ear power was far beyond ordinary people, and they followed the little novice slowly.

Leaving the Moyun Pagoda, passing through the courtyard, going out of the back door of the courtyard, and walking along the mountain road to the depths of the back mountain. Zhu Hanwen felt a little strange and asked, "Little master, isn't the abbot in the abbot's room?"

"Well, the abbot and the ancestors have been in the Reclining Buddha Cave for a while, and the abbot said that if there is a chosen person to visit today, please also go to the Reclining Buddha Cave to talk. The little novice replied.

"How far is that?" Bai Zhi asked.

"It's almost ahead, it's not far ahead. ”

The two of them did not speak again, and followed the little novice along the rugged mountain road for more than half an hour with full of questions, and came to the entrance of a cave, and on the door of the cave were three big characters written in red lacquer, "Reclining Buddha Cave".

Walking into the cave door, the stone wall is flanked by dense small pits, each pit is placed in a thick candle, the candlelight is intertwined, illuminating the whole tunnel, as you go deeper into the cave, you can faintly hear the sound of many people chanting together. After turning two corners, the sound of chanting became clearer and clearer, and it was obvious that the chanting was made by a number of monks, who were obviously chanting together, but it didn't feel messy at all, but made people feel more peaceful in their hearts.

At the end of the tunnel was blocked by a flannel curtain, and the sound of chanting came from the other side of the curtain. The two of them opened the curtain with the little novice and looked inside, it was a pair of huge Buddha feet and feet facing the door, in a side-lying posture, six or seven meters high, and then looked into the cave, this reclining Buddha body has thirty or forty meters long headdress snail, plump cheeks, eyes slightly closed, peaceful demeanor, simple clothing lines, lying on the right ribs, head resting on the lotus platform. In the open space in front of the reclining Buddha, a group of old monks sit around in robes, reciting Buddhist scriptures, each old monk has a faint golden light above his head, several golden lights converge on the top of the cave, and then shroud in a treasure box in the center of the monks.

The little novice walked up to one of the old monks and whispered a few words, the old monk nodded and did not move his body, and the little novice walked up to the two and said, "The two donors will wait for a while, and the abbot will finish reciting this Diamond Sutra before he can get up to greet them." ”

"Okay, then we'll wait a minute. Zhu Hanwen said that he and Bai Zhi waited quietly aside.

The original text of the "Diamond Sutra" is not too long, and after a while, the old monk gently knocked on the copper chime at hand, and a group of old monks announced the Buddha's name "Amitabha".

The old abbot stood up and walked up to the two, clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, let the two donors wait for a long time, the poor monk Dharma name is Yongdu, what do you call the two chosen ones?"

Zhu Hanwen returned the salute and said, "Under Zhu Hanwen, this is Bai Zhi." I wonder what Abbot Yongdu sent when he called us here?"

"Don't dare, it's not that the poor monk has something to find the two, but the temple has some trouble and wants to ask the two for help. "Yongdu has a difficult face.

"Jieyun Temple Shangqi Longxiang Buddhist Temple, as the ancestral court of Northeast Buddhism, there are countless eminent monks, how can there be something that needs the help of our two juniors?" Bai Zhi frowned slightly, glanced at the old monk in front of him, and then looked at the group of monks sitting on the ground, and found that including the abbot of Yongdu, all the senior monks had an unnatural dark gold on their faces.

Yongdu sighed and said slowly, "I'm ashamed to say it, more than two months ago, the two of you should know that I won't repeat it, this is a great thing for my generation of cultivators, countless young generation disciples have had an epiphany and comprehended the supreme Dharma, and even those of us who are in the old age have taken a step forward in their comprehension of the Dharma, especially the few juniors who are guarding the Buddha's treasure have entered the realm faster in the past two months than the previous decades of penance, so. . ”

"So you are guarding the Buddha treasure together, and you want to make progress together?" Zhu Hanwen glanced at the treasure box in the center of the monks and teased.

"Shame, shame, yes. Yongdu's face flushed. The monks were supposed to be pure and have few desires and let go of their obsessions, but they were lost in their hearts by the benefits brought by the Buddha Treasure, and they were almost greedy in cultivating the Buddha's magical powers around the Buddha Treasure, and they had long forgotten the Buddha's teachings.

"This is still a good thing after all, what do you need our help with? Don't you think that your cultivation is too fast, so I want to practice my hands?" Zhu Hanwen said.

"It is indeed a good thing, but the bad thing is that the core exercise of this temple is the "Arhat Golden Body Decision", and the cultivation to a high level is like a steel body, and the achievement is not bad for the golden body. However, if the state of mind does not keep up, the body will be stiff, and the people of my generation who are monks are the most important in cultivating the mind, and no matter which supernatural power is cultivated, the speed of progress in the state of mind will be faster than the speed of the supernatural power. But this aura resurgence and the blessing of the Buddha treasure allow us to cultivate for the rapid progress of the realm, and the state of mind naturally can't keep up. ”

"Then what are you still doing here, hurry up and leave. Bai Zhi said urgently.

"Where can we go if we leave? The Buddha treasure cannot be left unattended, and even if the person who cares for it does not cultivate now, just by receiving the Buddha treasure and the Buddha's light, the cultivation will grow rapidly, and now we can only gather the mana of all of us, and use the method of Cihang Pudu to unite the state of mind of all the stiff senior brothers, and jointly refine the Buddha's mind, so that the two sides can be balanced one day. ”

It seems that this old monk is still reluctant to get the cultivation, and also, after hundreds of years of Taoism and the end of the world, anyone who suddenly gets a cultivation that has not been seen in the past few decades, and learns the magical power that only in legends, may be reluctant to let go and live the life of an ordinary person, thinking of this, Zhu Hanwen's opinion on the old monk of Yongdu has also eased a little, and said.

"Then what can we do to help the masters?"

Seeing Zhu Hanwen relieved, the old monk Yongdu breathed a sigh of relief, the reason why he got out of the secret and crisis in the temple is really no way, if these two chosen people refuse to help, I am afraid that none of the older monks of Jieyun Temple will be spared, Yongdu said with his hands together.

The poor monk hopes that the two donors can use the treasure of the upper realm to absorb the Buddha light of this Buddha treasure, so that they can use the treasure of the Buddha light to conceive and nourish the two of them with the light of the Buddha, and can also neutralize the domineering function of this Buddha treasure. ”

"Well, since it happened, the road is uneven, and you can't see death without help. Zhu Hanwen glanced at Bai Zhi and said, "Bai Zhi, your magic weapon is used to cure diseases and save people, and the effect of being conceived by the Buddha's light will be even better, so come first." ”

Bai Zhi was not polite, stretched out his hand in the air, and a pack of silver needles appeared in Bai Zhi's hand out of thin air. I have long heard Bai Zhi say that the magic weapon she got was the hedgehog needle that faded after the Bai family became an immortal, and she thought that it would really be as long and thick as the needle on the hedgehog's body, but she didn't expect it to be similar to the silver needle of Chinese medicine acupuncture or even more crystal clear. I saw Bai Zhi holding a bag of silver needles with his eyes closed, muttering to himself in his mouth and not being able to hear what he said, after a while, the silver needles rose from the cloth bag, and floated neatly on the treasure box from large to small, and the treasure light emitted by the treasure box came into contact, as if attracted by the Buddha's light, each silver needle conjured up dozens of doppelgangers, densely surrounded the treasure box, the Reclining Buddha Cave was dark, and Bai Zhi also sat down cross-legged.

Seeing that the magic weapon of the chosen one really worked, the old monk Yongdu hurriedly recited the Buddha's name and recited the "Lengyan Sutra" with a group of monks. This "Lengyan Sutra" is the first of the scriptures of the Fa-rectification era, including: the preface, the three times to break the understanding, the ten times to manifest, the dissection of the delusion to reveal the truth, the four branches of the meeting, the seven great circles, the trial of the fine confusion, the untangling from the root, the twenty-five holy round chapters, the four pure teachings, the Lengyan mantra, the twelve types of birth, the successive cultivation, the seven pleasures, and the fifty yin demons. All-encompassing, the most difficult to practice, all the monks in front of them can practice the "Lengyan Sutra" can see the depth of this cloud temple, if you can get through the current difficulties, the status of the ancestral court of Northeast Buddhism in the next hundred years can never be shaken.

In the cave, day and night, and I don't know how long he has been cultivating, Zhu Hanwen only knows that his mobile phone has long been out of power, and Bai Zhi's hedgehog needle has also changed from a crystal clear silver needle to a golden needle with a golden light, and at this time, Bai Zhi's sideburns have also begun to sweat slightly. Seeing that Bai Zhi should be unable to hold on, Zhu Hanwen stood up and patted her, and reached out to pull out the Shangbaoqin gold rake from behind.

Bai Zhi took the hedgehog needle away, gasped for a while, and continued to meditate and breathe to consolidate her harvest, others don't know, but Bai Zhi knows very well in her heart that after experiencing the Buddha light pregnancy of the Buddha treasure here, her hedgehog needle has been upgraded to a whole level, and now not only the ability of acupuncture and moxibustion to distinguish medicine has been improved, but also as a weapon for self-protection, and she is not afraid that the treasure will be damaged if she is easily used.

Zhu Hanwen sacrificed the treasure rake and put it above the treasure box, and the treasure box suddenly burst out with a golden light hitting the top of the cave, accompanied by the glow of Wandao and a loud noise, the reclining Buddha who was originally lying on his side slowly broke open his eyes and turned his head to look at Zhu Hanwen on the ground.
