casket of old days

Chapter 196 Today we will attack the second floor of the big library
The gatekeeper slowly walked over from the darkness, looked at Chu Qiguang and asked, "It's too late for you to give up now."

Chu Qiguang shook his head and said firmly, "I can't wait."

Led by the gatekeeper and Lin Lan, Chu Qiguang came to a black stone room. In the center of the stone room was a desk with three thin sheets of paper placed on it from left to right.

Looking at the three pieces of paper, Chu Qiguang seemed to have felt the hot water from the ring of ignorance on his chest.

This is heat like never before.

Chu Qiguang looked at the paper greedily and asked, "What kind of book is this?"

The gatekeeper said coldly: "I can't tell you the name, but I can only tell you that these three books come from three different books. They are respectively related to King Kong Temple, Wuwei Sect and Tianjianzong."

Chu Qiguang's eyes brightened when he heard this, and he looked at Lin Lan who was on the side.

Apparently, Lin Lan knew that he had been looking for historical materials related to Tianjianzong, Wuwei Sect, and King Kong Temple recently.

So I helped the janitor when he was picking.

Let the janitor pick books from the second floor related to his goal.

Nodding towards Lin Lan, a shy smile flashed across her face.

Chu Qiguang looked at the three pieces of paper and said, "Why are they all one by one, isn't there a complete book?"

The gatekeeper said indifferently: "All the books on the second floor are collected by the book in order to prevent their harmful spread."

"And you take a look at it first, make sure you have no problem and then talk about it later."

As he said that, the gatekeeper pointed to the three cards and said, "Choose one, you can only see one of the three cards."

Feeling the guidance of the ring of foolishness, Chu Qiguang chose the one related to King Kong Temple.

The janitor nodded, put the other two pieces of paper into two black iron boxes, and locked them directly.

Then he said to Chu Qiguang: "Next, we will watch you read this one here. If anything abnormal happens to you, we will stop you immediately."

"You have to remember that the knowledge in these books will only bring endless tragedy and madness, and you'd better never try to use them."

Chu Qiguang sat down at the desk and read the paper in front of him.

He found that he didn't know who wrote the words on this sheet, and he memorized a lot densely, as if there was not enough paper.

Chu Qiguang narrowed his eyes and looked up.

……

It is said that the monks of King Kong Temple often practice in the high mountains of Dianzhou.

In order to realize the true meaning of Buddha, even the pain of being burned by fire can be endured.

Among them, the monks with profound mana often hear the Buddha's guidance during their practice.

However, he has practiced against common sense for a long time, and is obsessed with light and heat.

Let the monk's practice gradually become distorted.

Now record a diary and observe their symptoms.

……

Yongding 12th year, May.

The imperial court announced that it would stop the selection of imperial examinations and decided to select scholars through recommendation.

I hate that I have studied hard for ten years. Now that the imperial examinations have been suspended, what should I do?
Yongding 12th year, June.

I said that I decided to escape into Buddhism, and my father looked at me very strangely, as if he wanted to harm me.

I know he must be ready.

From the day the imperial examination was suspended, he and my mother wanted to harm me.

But Zen Master Fahui of Jingang Temple is willing to accept me as a disciple, and I have already agreed.

I am not afraid of them anymore.

Yongding 12th year, August.

Finally arrived in the mountains of Dianzhou, the King Kong Temple is in sight.

These days, I discuss Buddhist scriptures with my master, and I feel more peaceful.

It turns out that as early as thousands of years ago, someone had realized the true meaning of life that I thought of recently.

Compared with these, what is a mere fame and fortune?
Yongding 12th year, September.

King Kong Temple...is very strange.

Master... is also very strange.

I once saw him sit motionless for a day facing a Buddhist scripture.

I asked him what he was doing and he said he was communicating with Buddha.

The 12th year of Yongding, at the end of September.

I finally know what's going on.

It turns out that everyone in the King Kong Temple is sick, the Buddha is sick.

As long as one suffers from this disease, one will gradually become a Buddha, and finally be led to the Buddha realm.

And if you want to get the Buddha's disease, you must first read the Buddhist scriptures.

A lot of Buddhist scriptures, the more the better.

Yongding 12th year, October.

The master just got weirder.

He often speaks to the flames.

He said the Buddha was in the fire.

I said I couldn't see it.

The abbot said that I did not read enough scriptures.

Yongding 12th year, November.

The master forbids me to turn off the oil lamp every night.

He sleeps looking at the sparks on the oil lamp every night.

I don't know how late he goes to bed every day, but every time I wake up, I can see the master looking at the lights obsessively.

He said that the Buddha was talking to him inside.

I said I couldn't hear it, and the abbot of the temple said that I didn't read enough scriptures.

Yongding 12 years, December.

Last night's oil lamp burned out...there was no light in the room, and the master screamed wildly.

That kind of sound is not like any human... or even a beast can roar.

I could only get up immediately to relight the oil lamp. The master held the oil lamp in his hand and kept getting closer...

Yongding 12 years, at the end of December.

One of the master's eyes was burnt out.

The abbot told me not to worry, he said that the master is a Buddha, the disease is getting worse, and he is about to become a Buddha.

Master's Buddha disease... is getting worse.

Really happy for him.

Our room is filled with dozens of oil lamps at all times.

There is also a huge stove, and the master has been standing in front of the stove, constantly adding coal to it.

Seeing the fire getting hotter and hotter, he would laugh happily.

He said that he could hear the voice of the Buddha and see the figure of the Buddha.

He followed the Buddha's voice and called out the Chant.

It was a voice so sharp that it surpassed everyone's imagination, and it was a weird tone that made people's soul tremble.

I listened to the master's Zen singing and felt that I was getting closer to the Buddha.

It's a pity that I don't seem to have read enough scriptures, and I haven't got the disease of Buddha for a long time.

Yongding 13th year, March.

Today is the day of meditation.

All the monks in the temple were very excited, waiting for the abbot to take out the "Sumi Mountain King Sutra".

I heard that on top of the "Sumi Mountain King Sutra", there are also "Dragon and Elephant Great Freedom", "Vajra Phases" and "Secret Tracks of Vajra Warriors Sutra". .

I finally saw the Sumi Mountain King Sutra.

Buddha is inside.

I turned around and wanted to tell Master that I saw it, but found that Master had become a Buddha.

He looked at me and laughed, as if trying to encourage me.

I can hear the Buddhas in the Buddhist world congratulating the master.

I can see the master slowly ascending into the Buddha realm.

Unfortunately, the abbot quickly put away the Sumi Mountain King Sutra.

But I am not afraid, I have already got the disease of Buddha, and I can already hear the voice of Buddha.

That sound cannot be described in words, cannot be described in words.

If I must say...

That is 'Nan'an Heluo', Shizuku', which means 'the place where all the Buddhas are, where infinite wisdom and fire are buried'.

With the reading of this page of the diary, Chu Qiguang felt that the air seemed to be getting hotter and hotter.

And at the moment when the last incantation appeared, he felt a sharp cry coming from his ear.
