Chapter 84 The Monk
···
In Tallinn···
In front of each stone tower will be inscribed Sanskrit steles, most of these steles have experienced a long time, the handwriting is blurred, it is difficult to deduce the exact meaning between the lines, Jiang Yangsheng stood in front of a stele and looked at it for a while, he played a small follow the fish Lindao, for Sanskrit is also slightly dabbled, a cursory look, roughly know its meaning, most of them are about the life deeds of the monks enshrined in this merit tower, read a few words lightly, the first obscure mouth, not into a sentence, a long time, but I feel that there must be a lot of unusual stories in it.
It's just that Jiang Yangsheng has limited knowledge of Sanskrit, and he doesn't know the essence of it, and he only thinks that these Sanskrit words can make people abandon the distracting thoughts in their hearts, calm their minds, and fall into an ethereal state.
Unconsciously, as hundreds of unsmooth Sanskrit words were read out casually, Jiang Yangsheng's mind gradually calmed down, and the distracting thoughts in his heart were gradually abandoned, only to feel that this feeling was like the pseudo-realm 'unity of heaven and man' outside the wilderness of Qingzhou City that day, which made people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.
The mind also spreads out like a tidal wave.
With the spread of his mind, everything around him became extremely clear, and Jiang Yangsheng also felt a vague and hazy sense of light appear in the merit tower.
These soft clusters of light are balled in each merit tower, in the center of the stone pagoda, and the light clusters emit soft and uncertain light and shadow on their own, flickering and fluctuating in the dark night.
As Jiang Yangsheng's divine consciousness spread wider, this soft light and shadow became more and more obvious and clearer.
There are dozens of merit pagodas, and in the center of each merit pagoda is such a soft light cluster, but some of them are brighter, and some are slightly dim.
As the time was delayed, the light clusters were clearly revealed in front of Jiang Yangsheng, and they could be seen clearly.
After seeing the situation in the stone tower clearly, Jiang Yangsheng was horrified in his heart, his face was full of incredible surprise, and his mood was even more difficult to calm down, because in the stone tower was sitting a Buddha statue that would shine on its own, the Buddha statue was delicate and small, but the facial features were crystal clear, vivid, as if it was a real person, and even the wrinkles of the eyebrows could be seen clearly.
It's a weird phenomenon.
In Buddhism, the karmic cycle of 'precursor and afterlife' is emphasized, are these sitting monks not dead?
If these phenomena are obtained by outsiders, will they set off a bloody storm on the rivers and lakes?
Could it be that there are already people in Buddhism who have realized the 'method of eternal life'?
All kinds of questions lingered in Jiang Yangsheng's heart, making his mood more and more difficult to calm down, if it was really as he thought, would these Buddhist monks who had become sitted reappear in the world one day?
Driven by curiosity, Jiang Yangsheng couldn't help but want to find out, it is rumored that Buddhism is deep in the world, and there are many secrets hidden in it, and all kinds of appalling and unbelievable statements make Buddhism even more mysterious, in fact, it is just that Buddhism has this kind of opportunity now, Jiang Yangsheng naturally wants to sigh.
So he closed his eyes tightly, let himself fall into the pseudo-realm of 'unity of heaven and man', and immediately walked to a stone tower, reached out and touched the stone tower, the tower body is carved from white marble, it is silky and slippery and cold to the touch, and it is difficult to feel it carefully, Jiang Yangsheng will inevitably have a sense of loss in his heart.
These luminous exquisite Buddha statues are not the reincarnation of Buddhist monks, but the remnants of the fire of faith, and the light emitted by the exquisite Buddha statues is strong and weak, but it depends on the depth of the obsession of these Buddhist masters before they sit down.
The so-called power of belief is just the obsession left by these Buddhist Vajra Arhats who have reached the first grade or higher realm of 'cause and effect', and these obsessions have generated the fire of these beliefs, so that the image of the monk before his death remains in the stone pagoda and is sealed for a long time.
Jiang Yangsheng withdrew his hand, and sighed at the moment, even the Buddhism that painstakingly studied the cause and effect of the third world could not escape the cause and effect cycle of death after all.
The three worlds of cause and effect creation in the dark are nonsense in the eyes of ordinary people, but in Buddhism it is highly regarded as the supreme Dharma, and now it seems that even if no one in Buddhism has set foot in the realm of immortality, after all, it is much farther than ordinary people in the rivers and lakes on this road.
At present, which Jianghu people are cultivating the Tao in order to be able to step into that heavenly gate and achieve the position of true immortal one day, Buddhism is just finding another way.
Jiang Yangsheng wanted to restrain his mind, but when his divine sense passed through a stupa with no light, he found something strange in it.
This is the only thirteenth-order floating tower in the whole of Tallinn!
Buddhism is originally a pure place, especially the Sumeru Temple, one of the largest temples of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the twilight mountain behind the Sumeru Temple has been strongly supported by Jiang Loan because it is connected with the luck dragon vein of Beilai, so the incense has been enduring, and the Buddhism is resounding day and night, making this area a pure place where evil is not invaded.
However, Jiang Yangsheng found that the stupa on his side was essentially different from other stone pagodas, and other stone pagodas were nothing more than relics pagodas, hair pagodas, claw pagodas, tooth pagodas, clothing pagodas, bowl pagodas, and bottle pagodas, but this pagoda was a real body pagoda, which enshrined a high monk's body.
The real body tower is very rare in Buddhism, most of the Buddhist masters were cremated after their own sitting, leaving nothing but a piece of ash, a few relics, few Buddhist masters will leave the body for future generations to worship and worship.
Jiang Yangsheng released his divine sense and carefully inspected this real body flesh tower, but his heart was cold, and an inexplicable horror suddenly reached his heart, and he was terrified, as if he was being stared at by an invisible monster.
There was a very terrifying aura emanating from the stone tower, which made Jiang Yangsheng's heart suddenly furry and shudder.
This body sits in the center of the stone tower, is an old monk, this old monk body is withered, closed eyes, the top of the head that has already been graded ordination is strangely covered with green silk, the green silk naturally falls, scattered on the shoulder, and on the green silk there is a strange sapling that has been dry for a long time, the branches of the small sapling are crystal clear, like jade shining brightly, in the dark night clearly extinguished, elusive, the crystal branches stretch out, covering the old monk's figure, his scorched black skin seems to shrink close to the bones, the appearance is very penetrating。
He sat cross-legged in the center of the stone tower, his hands hanging down naturally, the skin on his arms was cracked from the long period of dryness, and the blackened skin rolled up, revealing Bai Sensen's bones, but no blood flowed out of these wounds.
Jiang Yangsheng stared at the old monk through the body of the stone tower, and always felt that the old monk was not dead, but he felt that this statement was ridiculous and could not withstand scrutiny, which unseated Buddha monk would lie dormant in a stone tower, but who could live long if he was sealed in the stone tower? But this thought has been lingering in Jiang Yangsheng's heart.
Because there is no light Buddha statue of an ordinary stone tower in the body of the tower, but an evil black gas. The evil qi lingered in the old monk, and the black qi swirled for a while, oozing out from the top of the old monk's head, and then penetrated from its seven orifices, forming an extremely strange cycle, and with the continuous repetition of this cycle, the black qi faintly continued to grow, slowly eroding the entire body of the old monk.
A trace of black gas attached to the old monk's bones and turned into a strange pattern.
It's a big weirdness!
Jiang Yangsheng had a creepy feeling.
And this cycle continues, endlessly, forming a very unnatural cycle of self-seeding, and no one knows what will happen next.
Jiang Yangsheng wanted to retreat at the moment, but suddenly found that the black gas had an attraction, and his divine sense was difficult to withdraw, after being attracted by this inexplicable attraction, he couldn't get it back at all, his heart sank, he didn't know what kind of horror would happen next, and he was concentrating at the moment, vigilant against the black qi that he didn't know what the purpose was.
This pitch black didn't change at first, but it kept repeating those cookie-cutter cycles, from the top of the weird old monk's head to the seven orifices, and the attraction to the divine consciousness had never increased or decreased by one point, Jiang Yangsheng could still handle it in front of him.
Jiang Yangsheng also settled down and carefully observed this old monk who was still alive although he was dead.
The old monk's shriveled body also trembled as the black qi poured in and out, as if he had experienced some heart-rending pain, but after all, he was lifeless, just an empty shell body.
"Bell—"
The alarm bell in the Sumeru Temple in the distance suddenly sounded in the night, the sound was agitated far away, and it was still like exploding in the ears when it reached Tallinn, and with the ringing of the alarm bell, there was also a stirring echo in the twilight mountain in the distance, and a loud and deep Buddha horn followed.
Jiang Yangsheng's heart was suddenly shocked, as if he had been enlightened and enlightened, his mind converged, and finally he was no longer troubled by the black qi and slowly calmed down.
He came back to his senses at the moment, but found that the lights of the Sumeru Temple in the distance were hanging high, like day, and bursts of magnificent and deep Sanskrit came out of the Sumeru Temple, and the Sanskrit was stirring, spreading to the four wildernesses and eight wildernesses, Jiang Yangsheng found that the stone tablets around him were also rattling, the branches of the woods were swaying, and the dust on the ground was trembling.
Buddhism is really extraordinary!
As soon as the alarm bell rings, everything is deafening!
In the distance, the old monk who had been in front of Tallinn like dead wood suddenly opened his eyes, and a trace of light suddenly lit up in his cloudy eyes, like two bright lights in the dark night, through the darkness, through the stupa of the gaze, staring here.
"Amitabha. ”
The old monk who had been guarding outside the tower sang the Buddha's name, and then looked at the seventeenth-order merit floating pagoda with a solemn expression, his expression was extremely solemn, he sighed softly and let out a turbid breath, and no longer sat on the bluestone slab.
The old monk got up leisurely, and suddenly a lot of dust fell on the shabby robe, and his eyes were filled with an inexplicable emotion, which seemed to be memory, sadness, sorrow, or pity.
In the distance, more and more black gas continued to seep out along the gaps, escaping in all directions.
There's a great demon coming to be born inside!
