Chapter 463 A Fox Under the Bodhi Tree
Jiang Han never expected that there would be a temple on this nameless hill.

And this temple is also very old, with mottled walls, dilapidated Buddha statues, and overgrown yards around it.

"The Buddha of the Six Paths is here, please accept my disciple's worship." Jiang Han put his hands together in front of the Buddha statue and said.

Sure enough, in Dashen, there was a branch of Buddhism. After Jiang Han visited, he found some plaster nearby. He used the plaster and spring water to paste together, and then repaired the Buddha statue.

After all, Jiang Han is also a Buddhist, and this trip is another journey of "seeking Buddha", so he also cherishes the Buddha statue in front of him.

Looking at the traces around, I can vaguely feel that this place was also a place with strong incense in the past. As for how it came to be so lonely, no one knows.

After repairing the Buddha statue, Jiang Han took a few bamboo sticks and tied them into a broom, and cleaned the surrounding area.

I don't know if it was destined, but at this time the ground was not covered by weeds, so a stone slab was exposed.

Obviously the slate can be opened.

Jiang Han was puzzled, but still curiously went over to uncover the stone slab.

However, it turned out to be a downward passage. Jiang Han looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he walked boldly into the passage with confidence.

Just when he reached the bottom of the passage, a skeleton beside him caught his attention. He squatted down and saw that it was a monk in a cassock. The monk was sitting cross-legged with his head down, obviously not killed .

It looks more like passing away.

Jiang Han sang a Buddha's name to the monk: "Master, I have offended you."

As he spoke, Jiang Han took the master's hand out of his robe, but found that it was a dark scripture.

Jiang Han took the scriptures and was wondering, but a mouse suddenly appeared in the distance and caught Jiang Han's attention.

He felt that there was something in the depths of this pothole, so he walked over.

At the end of the pit, Jiang Han saw something that he couldn't believe. Countless monks died here.

They all seemed to have passed away, and there were no scars on the bones.

"What's going on?" Jiang Han frowned, becoming more and more confused about what happened here.

However, there is nothing else around, only some scattered objects, such as some lampstands or wooden fishes, among which there are also previous things.

For example, Jiang Han saw a string of golden Buddhist beads on a monk who looked like an abbot.

However, Jiang Han didn't move these things, but let these deceased monks put them in an old Buddhist altar. Of course, Jiang Han also repaired this altar.

According to Buddhism, Buddhist altars allow these departed monks to return to the Buddha.

Having accomplished all this, Jiang Han planned to go back home, only then did he realize that at the gate of the temple, the little fox with six tails was squatting.

It tilted its head and looked at Jiang Han.

Jiang Han smiled and said, "Why, you haven't run far? Are you afraid that I will take you away and sell you?"

However, the six-tailed fox jumped down from the door. It seemed to be holding something in its mouth. Jiang Han took what was in the fox's mouth and found that it was a bodhi flower.

Looking at the bright bodhi flowers, Jiang Han remembered the scriptures that his master taught before his death.

The old man said that there is no tree in this world that is as sacred as the bodhi tree.

The Bodhi tree is also known as the "Enlightenment Tree" in Buddhism. It is regarded as a holy tree by devout Buddhists and is highly respected.Legend has it that in ancient times, the Six Paths of Buddha attained enlightenment under the bodhi tree.

The linden tree never withers through winter, and its huge crown forms a natural dome. There is also a linden tree in Jinshan Temple, but it has not blossomed and bear fruit for many years.

The last time it bloomed was ten years ago, when Jiang Han's brother, Master Diming, understood Buddhism.

The monks of Jinshan Temple also believe that the bodhi tree embodies various virtues, and it has the ability to make people wish and free from sin.

Even, many believers believe that praying to the Bodhi tree regularly, watering the Bodhi tree regularly, and walking around the Bodhi tree can be blessed to give birth to good children, especially sons.

Every spring, the monks of Jinshan Temple will wrap the rope around the trunk. When they see the bodhi tree trunk wrapped around a circle of rope, the believers will write their wishes into small cards. Then hang on those ropes.

If one day it comes true, it will come to take it off, that is, to fulfill the wish.

The Bodhi tree appeared here, obviously, Jiang Han did not expect it. After all, it is difficult to grow a Bodhi tree without professional care, let alone blossom and bear fruit.

But right now the flower is very fresh, freshly picked.

"Can you take me there?" Jiang Han asked.

The little fox nodded towards Jiang Han, and then bounced over to a hill behind the temple. Sure enough, there was a tall bodhi tree hidden among a group of trees.

There are still some red ropes on it, but it seems that the ropes are messy because they have not been taken care of for a long time.

Jiang Han plucked a small card from the tree, and there were words written on it.

"I hope my father's illness will be cured, please bless the Buddha."

The handwriting is mottled and illegible, but you can still see the outline.

Jiang Han put down the sign and dreamed of the highest tree canopy in the distance, and there was a red Bodhi fruit on the canopy.

Jiang Han said: "This is... Blood Bodhi?"

The little fox nodded, then circled around Jiang Han, and then it started dancing, as if it wanted to express something.

Jiang Han looked at it for a long time before he understood. He tentatively said, "You mean, the big snake fought with you just to monopolize this bodhi fruit?"

"Chichi!" The little fox jumped up and down, it was very happy because Jiang Han understood what it meant.

Jiang Han asked again: "So you asked me to come, do you want me to help you collect this bodhi fruit?"

The little fox jumped up again. It had never seen such a smart person.

But Jiang Han resolutely refused: "No, the bodhi fruit is a treasure of Buddhism, and the blood bodhi can be said to be a sacred object of Buddhism, how can people eat it casually?"

The little fox whimpered like a person, with its paws covering its head, looking very sad.

After a while, it came over and rubbed its furry head against Jiang Han's trouser legs, obviously trying to get away with being cute.

But Jiang Han found something else. He saw some small saplings around the bodhi tree. He was puzzled and asked, "What's going on?"

The little fox moved its ears, jumped onto the tree, and bit off a ripe bodhi fruit. Then it tilted its head and began to gnaw the pulp on it. After that, a core was left, and it held the fruit in its mouth. He came to an open space and used his claws to dig the ground. After a while, a pit the size of a fist came out.
