Chapter 15: Bodhi
Chapter 15 Bodhi
"What's wrong with you?" Pang Bo's voice came into Ye Fan's ears, shaking his shoulders vigorously.
Ye Fan woke up like a dream, where there was any Buddha sound, where there was any Zen singing, the ancient temple was still the same, accumulating a thick layer of dust, and the others seemed to have never heard of it.
"Is it really the Great Thunder Yin Temple?" he whispered to himself, what he had just heard and seen, although it was brief, why was it so real?
Ye Fan stared at the bronze ancient lamp in his hand, but he didn't have any special feeling anymore, there were some patterns and engravings on it, simple and natural, plain, and there was no abnormality.
"Futon!" a male classmate found an old futon from a pile of ashes, which the years have not worn away.
Not long after, another female classmate found a rosewood rosary from under the thick dust, which was not damaged in the slightest under the wear and tear of time, and still had a faint luster after blowing away the dust.
At the same time, Kade found a half-broken wooden fish in the dust in front of the stone Buddha, on which were engraved with three bodhisattvas, either solemn or compassionate, lifelike.
At this moment, Ye Fan was full of thoughts, if this was really the legendary Da Lei Yin Temple, then it was the place abandoned by the gods, and all the unearthed artifacts should be extraordinary!
"When"
Wang Ziwen's foot seemed to have kicked something, and let out a metallic trill, peeling off the dust in the corner, revealing a broken bronze bell that could be the size of a palm, missing a bell wall, and the style was ancient.
"When ......" he shook the bronze bell, and suddenly a melodious bell sounded, like the sound of Buddha lingering, which made people feel calm.
Ye Fan was interrupted from his thoughts, and couldn't help but look at the bronze bell, which was engraved with flowing cloud patterns, with Zen in simplicity and Buddha rhyme.
Pang Bo muttered softly, he entered the ancient temple first, but found nothing, only that he was unlucky.
Almost at the same time, Li Xiaoman found half of the jade Ruyi at the foot of the stone Buddha, wiped off the dust, and the crystal clear residual jade suddenly flowed out a little brilliance.
The ancient temple seemed to be empty, but several people found the artifacts under the dust, and the others immediately moved quickly and searched for them.
Ye Fan didn't care about those artifacts, the only dusty, intact, and everlasting bronze ancient lamp in the ancient temple was in his hand, and other artifacts were obviously incomparable.
"I don't believe it, I can't find anything......," Pombo muttered.
"Look carefully here, and whatever you find, put it away. Ye Fan handed the ancient lamp to Pang Bo and asked him to search for it with the help of the light, although he couldn't see any magic in these broken Buddha artifacts for the time being, but he knew that if there were really gods in the world, these things would be extraordinary!
Ye Fan temporarily handed over the bronze lamp to Pang Bo, and he walked out of the ancient hall and walked towards the Bodhi tree in front of the temple. By this time, he had broken free from his original mindset and temporarily convinced himself that the gods really existed.
Since the ancient temple is the Great Leiyin Temple, how can you miss the Bodhi tree that accompanies it, if there is a Buddha in the world, the dry ancient tree must be extraordinary!
The Bodhi tree is a sacred tree of Buddhism, according to the record in the "Tang Dynasty Western Regions", the Buddha once said to Ananda that there are three kinds of utensils in the world that should be worshipped - Buddha bone relics, Buddha statues and Bodhi trees.
Because the Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, seeing the Bodhi tree is like seeing the Buddha.
The dry ancient tree in front of him is as vigorous as a dragon, and six or seven people can't hug it, the main trunk is hollow, and only a dead branch that hangs down to two or three meters above the ground hangs six green leaves, which are crystal shining, as clear as green agate.
Regardless of whether this ancient tree is related to the Buddha or not, the six green jade-like leaves alone are enough to show that it is extraordinary.
Ye Fan came to the tree and looked at the ancient Bodhi tree carefully, the huge branches were almost completely pressed on the top of the ancient temple, if the branches and leaves were hung, you could imagine the scene that covered the sky and the sun.
At this moment, Ye Fan's heart moved, and he found that six crystalline green leaves were a little invisible green glow rippling out, a few of them drifting towards the five-colored altar in the distance, and most of them had submerged into the roots of the trees.
The green glow is dotted, the shape is like silk, and it constantly overflows from the six green leaves, making people feel a breath of life, and there is endless vigorous vitality circulating.
Ye Fan squatted down and picked up the soil at the root of the tree, wanting to see what was below it, which could actually condense the green glow overflowing from the Bodhi leaf.
Under the soil, he did not see anything supernatural, only found a bodhi seed, no light flickering, no bloom gathering, no glow, gray and ordinary color, if you don't pay attention, you will be mistaken for a clod of soil.
The only thing special is its size, the size of a normal bodhi seed, which is no bigger than a fingernail, but this gray bodhi is the size of a walnut.
Ye Fan was amazed for a while, could it be that the green glow overflowing from the Bodhi leaf was absorbed by it? After observing for a while, he saw that the silky green glow flowed down and disappeared three inches away from this Bodhi seed.
Although it has not been seen to absorb the essence of the linden leaf, it is almost certain that it caused it.
Ye Fan held this Bodhi seed in the palm of his hand, and after careful observation, he revealed a shocked face, the natural veins on this gray and ordinary Bodhi Zi were connected together, and it turned out to be a compassionate Buddha!
The Buddha was born out of a completely natural blend of textures, but it was as if it had been carefully carved into it.
The gray Buddha figure is simple and natural, and there is a faint Zen rhyme coming out.
"Born with a Buddha diagram, could it be said that 2,500 years ago, Shakyamuni really failed to attain enlightenment because of the Bodhi tree?"
The Bodhi Tree, also known as the Tree of Wisdom, the Tree of Enlightenment, and the Tree of Thinking, is said to open up the divinity of a person and realize his own body.
Ye Fan held this Bodhi Seed high above his head and faced the six green leaves above, the speed at which the green glow overflowed suddenly became much faster, and the vigorous aura became thicker and thicker, all concentrated on the Bodhi Seed, of course, the brilliance still disappeared three inches away.
"Po"
There was a soft sound, and a crystal Bodhi leaf flowed out of the last green glow, and then shattered, turned into flying ash, and fell down.
At this point, Ye Fan was finally convinced that Bodhi Zi seemed to be plain, but it was very extraordinary, and he put it away.
At this time, he noticed that there was a lot of powder on the ground, which was the same as the fly ash formed by the Bodhi leaves just now, could it be that the Bodhi leaves all over the tree disappeared like this? This made Ye Fan quite surprised.
The Bodhi son of the natural Buddha made him feel extraordinary, and he vaguely felt that it was more important than the bronze ancient lamp that often accompanied the stone Buddha!
There are still five green leaves on the ancient Bodhi tree, but it is not as crystal clear as Fang Cai, it is a lot darker, Ye Fan did not pick it off, it is enough to harvest a Bodhi seed, he doesn't want to attract attention.
At this time, no one had walked out of the Da Lei Yin Temple, and Ye Fan left the Bodhi Tree and returned to the ancient temple.
At this moment, seven or eight more people found Buddhist artifacts, all of which were different. Liu Yunzhi actually found half of the golden pestle from the back of the stone Buddha, although it was buried in the dust and I don't know how many years, but now it is re-unearthed, it is still brilliant, giving people a feeling of heavy and condensed, if it is not for one end of the breakage, it can be called a perfect and powerful casting masterpiece.
This scepter-shaped pestle has a very powerful name in Buddhism, which is the vajra, which has the indirect meaning of "destroying the enemy", symbolizing the invincible, invincible wisdom and true Buddha-nature, and is the rod held by all the saints.
If there is a Buddha in the world, this vajra is undoubtedly a holy thing, there must be extraordinary and different phases, even if there is a mysterious power of splitting mountains and rivers, it is not surprising, but at this moment there is no wonder.
Liu Yunzhi waved it vigorously, and half of the vajra was like a golden lightning bolt, the light was brilliant, and the treasure pestle was very imposing.
"You say, if these objects were held by the gods, what would happen if we found out how to use them......
Hearing Liu Yunzhi's words, all those who found the Buddha artifact were fascinated.
