Chapter 116 The Buddha painting is hidden in the secret incense, and Bodhidharma asks Zen to solve his doubts

Fast horse road, wearing the stars and wearing the moon, night and night, worried about a long time, many accidents, the royal horse whip, galloping to the Xiangji Temple of North Foshan and going.

Yi Weiyi, Luo Yuemei, Ye Yidie three people led the horse to walk on the narrow plank road with difficulty, Xiangji Temple is a thousand-year-old temple in the high mountains of Saibei, built in the dangerous mountains, because it has a Foshan with water famous and the world.

Due to the high danger of the plank road, the three of them had to let the horse go at the foot of the mountain, hike up the mountain, the mountain peak is dangerous, there are clouds and mist from time to time, the clouds and mist are disillusioned, strange and strange, virtual and real, unpredictable, the three people walk between the mountain peaks, as if they are in a fairyland.

Luo Yuemei and Ye Yidie, who had never seen such a wonderful scene, were excited and praised the scenery along the way. Yi Weiyi's mood is relatively calm, he grew up in Hengshan since he was a child, and has experienced the scenery of Nanyue Hengshan, which is peerless in the world, and he is naturally not surprised by the scene in front of him.

After walking the thousand-year-old plank road built in ancient times, and turn into the winding mountain path, the three of them crossed the stream into the forest, and walked three or four miles, in the mountains, you can faintly see an ancient temple.

The three of them walked forward, saw the lush grass and trees, beautiful flowers, running beasts, heard the sound of water, the chirping of insects, the faint cry of birds, smelled the fragrance of the soil, the smell of forest leaves, the fragrance of flowers, and the inaccessible mountains and forests.

In front of the Buddhist temple, there are 10,000 stone steps built as the only way to enter the temple, the stone steps zigzag around the mountain, implying the road of seeking Buddha, the twists and turns are hard, the stone steps are connected to the gate of the Buddha hall from the right side of the Buddhist temple, the three people climb the steps and go up, look for the Buddha and go, meet a Buddha Mountain on the way, breathtaking.

Appearing in front of the eyes of the three people is a good place to go by the mountain with the water, a mountain is entangled by water, the shape of the mountain is half of a lying Buddha statue, half of the Buddha is reflected in the water, the mountains and rivers are printed, become a complete Buddha statue, the big Buddha is full of smiles, there seems to be endless Zen, the three of them marvel at the wonderful ingenuity of the world, think of the creativity of the Buddha with the water, and sigh its superb skills, the half Buddha carved vividly.

The three of them approached Foshan, and saw that they were standing on a stone tablet in Foshan, engraved with eight big characters, Luo Yuemei walked forward, looked at it, and couldn't help but read it out.

"Water comes to become a Buddha, and water buries a Buddha. ”

Luo Yuemei muttered these eight-character proverbs repeatedly, not understanding the meaning, puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Yi, what do you mean by the eight inscriptions on this stone tablet?"

"Oh, Mei'er, you see this Buddha Buddha presents only half of the Buddha statue, with water, it can become a complete Buddha, without water, the Buddha can not become a Buddha, the whole Buddha statue is like being buried half by the soil, water is the spirit of all things, nourishing all things, alluding to the heart of Pudu people, the mountain is the length of a thousand peaks, metaphorically referring to all living beings in the world, only the surname and human form, indispensable, so as to become a Buddha. Yi Wei thought for a moment and said.

"Foshan actually contains such profound Buddhist principles, true and mysterious!" After hearing this, Luo Yuemei praised repeatedly.

"Yi Gongzi, he is really well versed in Buddhism. After listening to Yi Weiyi's explanation, Ye Yidie also nodded frequently, and couldn't help but praise.

"Miss Ye, it's over, I'm just talking nonsense, let's go. Yi Weiyi said to Ye Yidie and Luo Yuemei who were standing beside him.

The three of them left Foshan and continued to walk up the stone steps, and finally a temple appeared in front of the three of them, and a plaque hung above the temple gate, on which were written three big characters: Xiangji Temple.

The font glyphs are good, smart and elegant, but not lose a strong and steady, indifferent and quiet still leave a positive optimism, from a distance, it seems to have endless Zen, myopia, such as hiding thousands of Buddhas.

The three of them stepped into the Buddhist temple and entered the Buddhist hall, a strong smell of blood occupied the sense of smell of the three people, and there were tragically dead monks everywhere, and the three of them ran around the temple, rummaging around, hoping to find the hidden martial arts in the Buddhist paintings.

The three of them stopped in a room on the left side of the Buddha Hall, which was an ancient pavilion with heavy eaves and a flying eaves that was actually the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of Xiangji Temple.

The Tibetan Scripture Pavilion does not have the splendor of the Buddha Palace, but it does not lose a sense of elegance, Yi Weiyi pushed the door in, and Luo Yuemei also followed in because of Ye Yidie.

There are traces of being turned over everywhere in the scripture pavilion, and the scriptures and Buddhist scrolls collected in the temple have been thrown to the ground indiscriminately.

"This is the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of Xiangji Temple, then the Dragon Elephant Prajna Heart Method must be hidden here!" Luo Yuemei said, with a hint of excitement in her tone.

"Let's look for it, this place has been turned over, it must have been done by Liu Qingchen, Qiu Shuangxi, and Qingxu!" Ye Yidie guessed, her tone firm, as if she was convinced of her guess.

"Yes, they did it, Master Shouyi said, it was the three of them who washed the Xiangji Temple in blood, let's hurry up and find it, they didn't find the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Heart Method" and will definitely come again. Yi Weiyi urged.

The three of them searched in the Scripture Pavilion for a long time, searched the entire Scripture Pavilion, found nothing, and searched inside and out, but still did not find the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Heart Method".

Luo Yuemei was a little deflated, she sat on a chair to rest, and said in frustration: "Could it be that Master Shouyi is not right, this Dragon Elephant Prajna Heart Method is not hidden in this Hidden Scripture Pavilion, or it has been taken away by Liu Qingchen and his group, otherwise, we won't be able to find it after searching the whole room." ”

"No, no, if they take away the internal strength of the mind, they will not go to snatch the Buddha painting in the hands of Master Shouyi, by the way, Master Shouyi said that the whereabouts of the internal strength of the mind are hidden in the Buddhist painting, why don't we take it out and take a look. Ye Yidie, who was on the side, suddenly remembered "Dharma Asks Zen" and said.

Listening to Ye Yidie's words, Yi Weiyi seemed to have been hit by something, he nodded, took out the Buddhist painting, unfolded the painting scroll, and presented "Dharma Asks Zen" in front of the three of them.

The three of them looked carefully around the painting, and the scene of Bodhidharma asking Zen on the scroll was no different from ordinary paintings.

Luo Yuemei looked at the painting and said with a blank expression: "There is nothing special about this painting?"

"Yes, in the painting, it is the scene when Patriarch Bodhidharma talks about the Dharma with his disciples, and I have seen several imitations of this painting, and its content is no different from what is contained in this painting. Ye Yidie's gaze swam over the painting, and finally stopped at Yi Weiyi's body.

I saw Yi Weiyi staring at the painting in front of him, and he was also confused, and after a long time, he spit out a sentence. "Master Shouyi, said that the secret of the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Heart Method" is hidden in this painting, presumably it will not be fake, and the Scripture Pavilion is only so big, the three of us will look carefully for it, I believe we will be able to find it. ”

It seemed that Yi Weiyi had not lost faith in finding the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Heart Method", and his gaze shifted from the painting scroll to the objects in the Scripture Pavilion.

His gaze stopped on the wall of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, he stood facing the wall, falling into deep thought, Ye Yidie saw this, stepped forward and said, "What's the matter?

"Well, you see, this is the only one on the wall that is exceptionally clean, and the rest of the wall is covered with dust. Yi Weiyi pointed to the wall, his eyes were full of surprise, and said.

At this time, Luo Yuemei also surrounded her, her eyes also fell on the wall, and she said in surprise: "Yes, this small place is very clean, not stained with dust, and its shape and size seem to be similar to it." ”

Luo Yuemei looked at the place on the wall that Yi Weiyi was pointing to, as if she remembered something, and then turned back and pointed to the unfolded Buddhist painting, and said.

After Luo Yuemei's reminder, Yi Weiyi picked up the unfolded painting and hung it on the wall, its shape and size just matched the clean place on the wall.

"It turns out that this place was originally hung with "Dharma Ask Zen", which made this place cleaner than other places. Ye Yidie looked at the painting that had just been hung on the wall and said.

Yi Weiyi stared at the picture scroll hanging on the wall, and was suddenly stunned, as if he had been hit by something, he walked forward quickly, and walked along the corner of the wall towards the right side of the painting.

In the corner stood a sandalwood bookshelf, and he was rummaging through the bookshelf as if looking for something, when suddenly he found a wooden box.

Yi Weiyi shook off the dust on it, placed it in front of Luo Yuemei and Ye Yidie, and then gently opened it to take a look, and the faces of the three of them showed a color of joy.

I saw a book in the wooden box, and the six words on it were particularly eye-catching, which was also the reason for the joy of the three of them, "Dragon Elephant Prajna Heart Method".

Luo Yuemei stepped forward and took it in her hand, walked in front of Yi Weiyi, and asked, "Brother Yi, how did you know that it was hidden here?"

Yi Weiyi walked to the wall, pointed to the painting on the wall, and said, "I found it according to the instructions on the painting." ”

"The instructions on the painting?" Ye Yidie asked, staring at Yi Weiyi with a puzzled expression.

"Yes, you see, the four fingers of the left hand of the Bodhidharma Patriarch in the painting are pointing. ”

Luo Yuemei and Ye Yidie looked in the direction of Yi Weiyi's fingers, and in the painting, the thumb of the Bodhidharma patriarch was bent, and the four fingers were flat and pointed directly at the "Zen" character of the four big characters on the painting, "Bodhidharma asks Zen".

After a moment of silence, Ye Yidie suddenly realized and said: "I understand, the sound of the word 'Zen' in 'Bodhidharma' is the same as the word 'hidden', and the four fingers in the painting point to the word 'Zen', indicating the hidden place of the 'Dragon Elephant Prajna Mind Method'. ”

"Yes, I followed the direction pointed by the four fingers of Patriarch Bodhidharma in the painting, and found the place where the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Mind Method" was hidden. Yi Weiyi added.

"I see!" After listening to Ye Yidie and Yi Weiyi's words, Luo Yuemei understood the mystery.

"Alright, it's getting late, let's go down the mountain quickly. Yi Weiyi glanced at the sky outside the window, and at this time the sky was getting dark, and said.

The three of them were about to leave, when they suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside the door, and then two familiar voices floated in from the window, the voice was extremely ghostly, with a hint of coldness, as if it was about to take people's souls. (To be continued.) )
