Chapter 106: Tazang Cicada

Everyone looked up at the stone tower. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThis tower is divided into three floors and hexagonals, and it is indeed carved from a single piece of stone, because of the age, the surface has been quite a bit of wind and rain erosion.

Shifang introduced with a smile on the side: "Originally, a stone tower is not unusual, but this tower is carved with a whole boulder, even all the things in the tower such as Buddha statues, shrines, incense burners and other things are carved out of this boulder as a material in the process of excavation, and the whole pagoda is integrated from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside. This can be called a 'magic work'. ”

Li Gongfu looked up at the stone tower, and his right eye jumped slightly for no reason. His heart moved, and the pupil of his right eye immediately divided into a miniature pupil slightly larger than the tip of a needle, and he looked at the stone tower again. This look was not tight, only to see that the pagoda was covered with this layer of dense golden clouds up to three feet thick, and the brilliant gold shook so much that his "Seven Treasure Exquisite Eyes" could hardly open.

He closed his eyes to the tiny line, and his right eye looked intently into the tower, trying to see what was so impressive. Unbeknownst to him, his eyes opened involuntarily, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.

Xu Jiaorong, who was beside her, saw her husband looking at the stone tower in a daze, quietly pulled his arm, and asked in a low voice, "Gongfu, what's wrong with you?"

Li Gongfu came back to his senses at this time, shook his head and sighed, his expression seemed to be quite regretful, and he said an inexplicable sentence to himself: "It would be good if I met this little monk of Shifang for a few days late." ”

At this time, Shifang had already led everyone to the stone tower, and after entering the stone gate on the first floor with a stone plaque of "Tibetan Zen Tower", the group arrived at the inside of the stone tower.

The stone walls around the tower are covered with countless fist-sized Buddha statues of different shapes, but the stone slabs on the top wall and the ground are carved with Buddhist scriptures, and there is a life-size standing stone statue in the direction of the stone gate. But the stone statue is not the well-known image of the Buddha and Bodhisattva, but the image of a handsome young monk. In front of the stone statue is a stone incense table and a half-human-high three-legged stone incense burner.

When everyone went to look carefully, they saw that the bottom of the stone statue, the incense case and the incense burner were indeed connected with the ground of the stone tower, and it was indeed carved out of a part of the stone when the inside of the tower was hollowed out. The ingenuity and skill of the man who built the tower is truly breathtaking.

After looking at it for a while, Xiao Qing suddenly sighed softly, looked at the stone statue and then looked at the ten directions, clapped his hands and smiled: "Little monk, how similar is this stone statue to you?"

After her reminder, everyone looked carefully for a while, and saw that the demeanor between the eyebrows and eyes of the stone statue was indeed faintly similar to the ten directions.

Shi Fang smiled a little embarrassedly: "Actually, the poor monk has also discovered this, but this should just be a coincidence." ”

Li Gongfu said meaningfully: "No wonder Shifang Zen Master said that you sensed that this Lanruo Temple has the opportunity for you to preach, and now it seems that you do have a relationship with this ancient temple." ”

The crowd followed the ten directions up to the second floor of the stone pagoda, where the layout was similar to the one below, and the stone statue of the young monk was still in the front, but it was changed to a sitting position.

After looking around, the group went up to the third floor. The stone statues on this floor have become reclining postures, and the facial expression first looks more comfortable and leisurely.

Li Gongfu seemed to walk up to the stone statue with great interest to take a closer look, and finally his eyes fell on the stone statue's hands stacked on top of each other.

Nie Xiaoqian, who was the most wise elf among the people, first noticed Li Gongfu's strange appearance, and walked over and asked, "Master, is there anything wrong with this stone statue?"

Li Gongfu pointed to the stone statue's hands and smiled: "You see that although these hands are stacked together, the palms are empty, and there seems to be something in them." ”

"Really?" Xiao Qian lowered her head curiously, put her eyes between the gaps in her hands and looked in, and then exclaimed in surprise, "There is really something inside!"

This shout attracted everyone's attention, Nie Xiaoqian told her discovery with a little excitement, and asked Shifang: "Zen master, do you know what is in this?"

Shi Fang shook his head and smiled: "The poor monk is not as careful as Lord Li's heart, and he didn't notice that there was still a treasure hidden between the palms of the stone statue, so naturally he didn't know what it was." ”

Xiaoqing also came to the front with great interest to take a look, and like Xiaoqian, she could only see what was inside, but she couldn't see what was inside. She tried to release a wisp of divine consciousness to probe inward, but was surprised to find that her divine sense could not penetrate, and hurriedly informed everyone of this discovery.

Several people with divine sense secretly tried when they heard this, but they couldn't penetrate the palms that were obviously carved from ordinary stones, and they couldn't help but be surprised.

Xiaoqing thought for a while and said to Shifang: "Little monk, do you want me to take out the things inside?" You can rest assured, this is something in your temple, naturally it still belongs to you, I just want to see what is inside." ”

Shi Fang frowned slightly and said, "The gap between the palms of the stone statue is extremely small, and I don't know how to put this thing in." If you want to take it out, you will only damage the statue. ”

"What's so difficult about this?" Xiaoqing said proudly, "As long as you ask my young lady to take it out, Bao Bao will take out the things, and your stone statue will not be damaged in the slightest." ”

This is when everyone is more or less interested, so they all look at Bai Suzhen.

Bai Suzhen smiled and said, "Since everyone is so curious, let me use a little trick to take out that thing." ”

With that, she changed her hands in front of her chest to form a spell, and the two fingers of her right hand stretched out to the stone statue's hands and pointed lightly, and an obscure mana fluctuation from her white jade fingertips enveloped the stone statue's hands in it.

Immediately, everyone saw that the stone statue seemed to come to life, and gently lifted the right hand on it, and the movements were natural and smooth, as if they were real people.

"Good means!"

Li Gongfu and the ten parties praised in unison.

Bai Suzhen's technique seems simple, but the realm of Taoism contained in it is beyond the reach of the two of them now.

"It turned out to be such a gadget......"

Nie Xiaoqian and Xiaoqing rushed forward to see it together, but then sighed together with some disappointment.

Xiao Qing stretched out his hand and took out the things, and handed them to Shifang Dao: "I said in advance, this is something from your temple, and naturally it belongs to you." ”

Bai Suzhen saw that the thing had been taken out, so she pointed to the stone statue again, and the right hand raised by the stone statue was immediately put back, and the position and posture were exactly the same as before.

At this time, everyone came to see the thing in the palm of Shifang's palm, and saw that it was a pale yellow jade cicada, but the jade quality was average, and the carving was not brilliant.

Shifang shook the jade cicada and said with a smile: "The poor monk probably understands that the stone statue hides this jade cicada in his palm, presumably in order to echo the name of this tower 'Tibetan Zen Tower' with a homonym." ”

Li Gongfu looked at the jade cicada and sighed softly, and said to Shifang: "In any case, this is also a thousand-year-old artifact, and the Zen master should be careful to put it away." ”
