Chapter 15 Bodhi
"What's the matter with you? "Pang Bo's voice reached Ye Fan's ears, shaking his shoulders vigorously.
Ye Fan woke up like a dream. Wherever there was any Buddhist sound and Zen singing, the ancient temple was still covered with a thick layer of dust, and others just seemed to have not heard of it.
"Is it really Da Leiyin Temple? "He whispered to himself softly, although what he had just heard and seen was short-lived, why was it so real?" This made him startled for a while, and he thought about it carefully.
Ye Fan stared at the bronze ancient lamp in his hand, but there was no special feeling anymore. There were some patterns engraved on it, which were simple and natural, bland, and nothing unusual.
"Futon! "A male classmate found an old futon from a pile of ashes, but years have not been able to erase it.
Not long after, another female classmate found a rosary of red sandalwood from under the thick dust. It was not damaged in the slightest by the passage of time. After blowing out the dust, it still had a faint luster.
At the same time, Kaide found a half-broken wooden fish in the dust in front of the stone Buddha, with three bodhisattvas engraved on it, either solemn or compassionate, lifelike.
At this moment, Ye Fan was thinking a lot. If this is really the legendary Great Leiyin Temple, then it is the place abandoned by the gods. All the artifacts unearthed should be extraordinary!
"When"
Wang Ziwen's foot seemed to have kicked something, and he made a metallic vibrato. He opened the gray soil in that corner, revealing a broken bronze bell the size of a slap. A piece of clock wall was missing, and the style was ancient.
"When..." He shook the bronze bell, and suddenly there was a melodious sound of bells, like the sound of Buddha, which made people feel peaceful.
Ye Fan was interrupted in his thoughts, and couldn't help but look at the bronze bell, which was engraved with flowing clouds, simple and Zen, and condensed with Buddhist rhyme.
Pang Bo muttered softly. He entered the ancient temple first, but found nothing. He could only say that he was out of luck.
At almost 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 remnant jade suddenly flowed out with a little brilliance.
The ancient temple seemed to be empty, but several people found artifacts under the accumulated dust, and others immediately moved quickly to look for them one after another.
Ye Fan didn't care about those artifacts. The only bronze ancient lamp in the ancient temple that was spotless, intact, and immortal was in his hand. Other artifacts obviously couldn't be compared with it.
"I don't believe I can find anything..." Pang Bo murmured.
"You look carefully here, no matter what artifacts you find, you must put them away. "Ye Fan handed the ancient lamp to Pang Bo and asked him to search with the help of light. Although he couldn't see the strangeness of these broken Buddhist artifacts for the time being, he knew that if there were gods in the world, these things would be extraordinary!
Ye Fan temporarily handed the bronze lamp to Pang Bo, and he stepped out of the ancient hall and walked towards the Bodhi tree in front of the temple. At this time, he had gotten rid of his original mind-set and temporarily convinced himself that the gods really existed.
Since the ancient temple is Da Leiyin Temple, how can you miss the Bodhi tree that accompanies it. If there is a Buddha in the world, that dry ancient tree must be extraordinary!
The Bodhi tree is a sacred Buddhist tree. According to the "Book of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty", the Buddha once told Ananda that there are three kinds of artifacts in the world that should be worshipped-the buddha bone relic, the Buddha statue, and the Bodhi tree.
Because the Buddha became a Taoist under the Bodhi tree, seeing the Bodhi tree is like seeing the Buddha.
The dry ancient tree in front of me is as vigorous as a dragon, and six or seven people can't hug it together. The trunk is hollow, and only one dead branch that falls two or three meters from the ground is hung with six green leaves, crystal clear, as clear as green agate.
Regardless of whether this ancient wood is related to the Buddha or not, the six green jade-like leaves alone are enough to show its extraordinary.
Ye Fan came under the tree to take a closer look at the ancient Bodhi tree. The huge branches were almost completely pressed on the top of the ancient temple. If they were covered with branches and leaves, he could imagine the scene of covering the sky and the sun.
At this moment, Ye Fan's heart moved, and he found that the six crystal green leaves were a little bit invisible, and a small part of them floated in the direction of the five-color altar in the distance, and most of them did not enter the roots of the tree. .
The green haze is dotted with dots, shaped like silk, constantly overflowing from the six green leaves, making people feel a breath of life, and there are endless vigorous vitality flowing.
Ye Fan squatted down and peeled open the soil at the roots of the tree, trying to see what was underneath, which could condense the green haze overflowing from the Bodhi leaves.
Under the soil, he did not see any supernatural objects. He only found a Bodhi, with no light flickering, no brilliance gathering, and no haze. The color was gray and ordinary. If he didn't pay attention, he would be mistaken for a clod of soil.
The only special thing is its size. An ordinary bodhi is no more than the size of a nail cover, but this gray bodhi is the size of a walnut.
Ye Fan was surprised for a while, could it be that the green haze overflowing from the Bodhi leaf was absorbed by it? After observing for a moment, I saw the silky green haze flow down and disappeared three inches away from this Bodhi.
Although it has not been seen to absorb the essence of Bodhi leaves, it is almost certain that it caused it.
Ye Fan held this Bodhi in the palm of his hand, and after careful observation, he was shocked. The natural lines on this dark and ordinary Bodhi turned out to be a compassionate Buddha!
Buddha Heavenly mind was born entirely from the intersection of natural textures, but it seemed to be carefully carved on it.
The gloomy Buddha figure is simple and natural, with a faint Zen rhyme radiating out.
"The figure of the natural Buddha, could it be said that 2,500 years ago, Sakyamuni was really enlightened because of the Bodhi tree? "
The Bodhi tree has other names, namely the tree of wisdom, the tree of enlightenment, and the tree of thinking. Legend has it that it can unlock the divinity of man and realize oneself.
Ye Fan raised this Bodhi above his head and greeted the six green leaves above. The speed at which the green haze overflowed suddenly became much faster, and the vibrant aura became stronger and stronger. All concentrated on the Bodhi. Of course, the brilliance still disappeared three inches away.
"Boo"
There was a soft sound, and a stream of crystal Bodhi leaves turned out the last green glow, then shattered, turned into fly ash, and fell down.
At this point, Ye Fan was finally convinced that Bodhi seeds normal, but it was very extraordinary, and he cherished it.
At this time, he noticed that there was a lot of powder on the ground, which was no different from the fly ash that the Bodhi leaf had turned into just now. Could it be that the Bodhi leaves all over the tree disappeared like this? This surprised Ye Fan quite a bit.
The Bodhisattva who was born with the figure of the Buddha made him feel very insignificant. 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 they are not as crystal clear as they were just now, and they are much dimmer. Ye Fan didn't pick them. It was enough to harvest a Bodhi seed. He didn't want to be eye-catching.
At this time, no one had walked out of Da Leiyin Temple. Ye Fan left the Bodhi tree and returned to the ancient temple.
At this moment, seven or eight more people found Buddhist artifacts, each with a different appearance. Liu Yunzhi actually found half of the golden pestle from behind the stone Buddha. Although it has been buried in the dust for many years, it has been unearthed again, and it is still shining brightly, giving people a heavy and condensed feeling. If it weren't for the damage at one end, it would be a perfect and powerful masterpiece of casting.
This kind of scepter-like pestle has a very powerful name in Buddhism. It is a vajra, which has the indirect meaning of "destroying the enemy". It symbolizes invincible, indestructible wisdom and true Buddha-like nature. It is a staff held by the venerable sages.
If there is a Buddha in the world, this vajra is undoubtedly a sacred object, and it must have extraordinary and heterogeneous aspects. Even if there is the mysterious power of splitting mountains and rivers, it is not surprising, but at this moment, there is no mystery.
Liu Yunzhi waved it vigorously, and half of the vajra passed like golden lightning, shining brightly, and the pestle was very imposing.
"You said, if these artifacts are all held by gods, if we find out how to use them, what kind of earth-shattering scene will there be..."
Hearing Liu Yunzhi's words, everyone who found the Buddhist artifacts was fascinated.
