Chapter 158: The Great Buddha of the West
Following the guidance of Taurus, Nock and his party walked westward, through inaccessible plains, over steep mountains, and finally stopped in front of a temple.
Everyone looked at the name on this temple and couldn't help but feel a little funny, "Western Elysium," Xiao Jie thought to himself: "Could it be that this is the so-called Western Elysium? It's not the same as imagined! This is too much worse, isn't it? If a person comes to this place after death, isn't it just that if he dies, he will become a monk?"
Now everyone is very tired, and there are some wastelands all around, and there is only one place to rest at the moment.
So Shen Yichen stepped forward and knocked on the door of the temple, but at first there was no one to respond, and no one came to open the door, "It shouldn't be!
"Who knows? Who thinks, who would build a temple in such a barren mountain and mountain area? What is the purpose of the temple? That is, to put incense on it! If the temple is built here, where will people come to such a barren mountain and mountain place to offer incense?" Xiao Jie patted his chest and explained.
"What Xiaojie said also has some truth, after all, this place is simply too desolate, and it is impossible for ordinary people to make incense here, but we have walked so far so far, even Taurus is a little tired, and if we continue to move forward, there may not be such a place ahead, so why don't we sleep on the streets again?"
"Yes, yes, what should we do now?, or we can rest at the door of this temple!" Tang Zhan proposed.
Youyou and Zishan didn't object, after all, they had also walked such a long mountain road, and the two of them were also very tired at this time as female disciples.
"Okay, then as Nock said, let's rest at the gate of his temple!"
"Amitabha, good, good, really disturbing, just rest here, don't blame the Buddha!" Shen Yichen and Tang Zhan both bowed at the door.
"Brother Shen, Brother Zhan, do you two still believe this?" Zi Shan muttered.
"When you go out, and now you are in front of this kind of Buddha hall, how can there be any reason not to worship. ”
"What Brother Shen said is very true, okay then, let's also worship sincerely!"
So the group bowed to the door of the temple together.
"It's good now, my mother said, when you encounter this kind of place, you must worship, it is said that the Buddha here, maybe where to observe? If we are pious to worship, I believe that the Buddha will help us realize our wishes. Tang Zhan said.
Nock really didn't expect that in such a world, the influence of Buddhism on people was still deep-rooted.
And at this time, the door of the temple in front of him suddenly opened, and a very young monk with a shiny head was found from inside, and said: "Donor, my Buddha is merciful, just now, the Buddha already knew your pious hearts, so the abbot ordered me to open the door." ”
Shen Yichen stepped forward and said politely: "Thank you Buddha, my Buddha is compassionate!"
"Donor, please come in with me. The little monk waved his hand and pointed to the temple.
Nock and his party walked into the temple at this time, looking at it, this temple is not big, it is not small, the environment inside is many times stronger than the outside environment, the flowers are luxuriant, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and from time to time you can see a few little monks, who are cleaning the temple.
At this time, he came out of the room inside, an elderly monk, he held a Zen staff in his hand, and there were six small pits of incense on the top of his head, and Nock thought about this picture, and guessed that this person should be the abbot of this temple according to what he saw on TV.
"Amitabha, I am the abbot of this temple, now is not the time to offer incense, donor, why did you come here?"
Shen Yichen stepped forward and said respectfully: "Abbot, we don't mean anything else, we just pass by here and want to find a place to rest!"
"Oh, find a place to rest! Listening to the donor's accent, it doesn't look like a person from the Western Regions. ”
Shen Yichen smiled respectfully again, and said: "Host good listening, yes, a few of us are from the Tiandao Mountain sect in the east, because there are some things to come to the Western Regions to deal with, so I passed by here today and wanted to rest here for one night." ”
I heard the abbot say, "Oh, may you show me your palm?"
Shen Yichen looked at his palm and said with a smile: "Okay." ”
Shen Yichen stretched out his palm, and the host took a closer look, then smiled heartily, "In the palm of the donor's hand, it can be said that there is a hidden mystery! ”
Shen Yichen also nodded hurriedly and said, "Presiding over you, you are really clever! Yes, I have indeed just gotten married." ”
The abbot nodded silently and said, "Then it's no wonder, just now I saw your wife from the veins of your palm, and she should be pregnant now." ”
As soon as the host's voice fell, everyone was stunned by this sentence, "Host, you mean, my wife is pregnant, when did this happen?"
"This incident should have happened not long ago, but you don't have to worry, your wife is being taken care of by your uncle and aunt at this time, and she takes care of her very well. ”
At this time, Shen Yichen was already excited, he didn't expect that he would become a father so soon, Nock always felt that the abbot in front of him was a little different, he could actually judge what was happening far away through the lines in the palm of his hand, it was indeed a little incredible, but he couldn't judge whether what he said was true or false, so Nock planned to try it himself.
So Nock walked up to the presiding officer and asked, "Can the abbot show the veins in his hand for the boy?" ”
The host glanced at Nock's outstretched palm and was suddenly startled, "Amitabha, good, good." He whispered to Nock, "You are the reincarnation of the guardian of the twelve constellations. ”
Nock was also very shocked when he heard the abbot say this, and hurriedly asked, "Abbot, how did you see it?"
"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, I can only say one thing, your bones are amazing, you are indeed a wizard who practices martial arts, and your vein is opposite to the destiny star in the sky, only twelve people in this world can correspond to the destiny star in the sky, so all this is not a coincidence, but there is one thing, you will be trapped by love in the future. ”
"Presiding, yes, I am the guardian of the twelve zodiac signs, the last sentence, I will be trapped by love in the future, what is going on. ”
"Lao Wei can't say much, everything is created by fate, it's all creation! ”
Nock nodded, and then said to the host, "Do you know what we're here for?"
"Lao Qu has been a long time and doesn't care about the affairs of the mainland, so even if Lao Qu guesses, then I won't tell you, after all, this is a heavenly opportunity, if you want to pray, there is a golden statue of my Buddha in the temple, you can go there to worship, you can ask the Buddha to bless you to find the next guardian smoothly." ”
"Thank you, well, let's go to the golden statue of the Buddha and bow respectfully. ”
"Alright, you go and bow down reverently, and I'll send someone to prepare a few bowls of somen noodles for you. ”
After Noxei passed the abbot, the abbot left the place.
"Eh, Nock, what did the abbot talk to you about just now?" asked Xiao Jie hurriedly.
"This host is very powerful, what he said is completely correct, here I would like to congratulate Brother Shen on becoming a father. ”
"Thank you, haha!" Shen Yichen was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
"Just now, the abbot judged that I was the reincarnation of the guardian of the twelve constellations just by the veins on my palm, and he also said that he had been for a long time, but when asked about the mainland, it seems that he should not be just a monk who has attained the Tao, he also said that if you want to find the guardian of Taurus smoothly, you can bow to the golden statue of the Buddha to pray that we can find the guardian of Taurus smoothly. Nock said.
"Well, let's go without further ado, and hurry up and worship the auxiliary golden statue. Tang Zhan said.
Nock nodded and said, "Let's not all go together, just me and Brother Shen go together, and the abbot told me just now that someone has been sent to prepare a few bowls of somen noodles, and we can finally have a full meal." ”
Immediately after that, Nok and Shen Yichen kept walking towards the deepest part of the temple, and the more they walked inside, the more they could feel the smell of Buddha incense, and it seemed that this should be the place where the people put incense.
Looking at it head-on, this is a very large Buddha statue, not so much a golden statue of the Buddha, but a big Buddha in the West, sitting there majestically?
Shen Yichen said: "Oh, I suddenly forgot one thing, Nock, how many copper plates do you have there?"
Nock dug into his pocket, took out ten copper plates, and said, "Brother Shen, what are you doing with copper plates?" I only have ten here. ”
"It's nothing, I have exactly ten of them here, I thought that since we have already bowed to this Buddha statue here, why don't we donate some sesame oil money?
Nock really doesn't know, don't look at Shen Yichen so young, in general, he really understands a lot of things.
"Nock, okay, just use my ten copper plates!"
"It's okay, Xiaojie still has a lot of copper plates there? Anyway, we don't need to spend a few dollars along the way, so let's donate sesame oil money together! Pray that the Buddha can let us find the guardian of Taurus smoothly......"
