Whoa! ! !

The pool of five colors exploded, and so did the heart of the lotus platform. The dragon jumped and the phoenix soared, surrounded by chaos...

Nine lotus seeds, like a child cheering after breaking the seal, shot high into the sky and flew to different areas, like

"This light wave is too strong! It was really dangerous just now, and most of the body can't stop it. It's really lucky..." Tan Jingjing was lucky for a while.

"Well, those people are all gone, and they are all chasing magic weapons and spiritual weapons? Anyway, they are behind, let me see this coffin first!"

As soon as Tan Jingjing approached the coffin, she felt that her body was about to burst, her whole body was in severe pain, and her bones were making noise.However, thinking that I am just a clone, the main body is immortal, and I am almost immortal, so I gritted my teeth and continued to move forward.

The coffin has already flown out, but the closer it is, the more it can feel a terrifying coercion, like a surging tide, sweeping the sky and the earth, making people's bodies about to shatter.

"Is this... the pressure from the coffin itself, or from one of the corpses? Those magic weapons and spiritual weapons should be buried with the owner of the coffin, right? It's really scary. I don't know how terrifying this person will be during his lifetime! "

One step, two steps...

At the cost of several collapses again, Tan Jingjing came back to life many times, and used the in-situ reorganization to get close to the coffin.

The coffin is very old, it seems to be in front of the eyes and it seems to be in the distance, elusive, as if floating in the void, there are real dragons and phoenixes transformed from immortal energy, lifelike, thousands of them, surrounded here.

"Stick..." Tan Jingjing gasped.

After observing carefully for a while, Tan Jingjing suddenly discovered that the ancient coffin was full of vitality, and the vitality was so strong that it didn't seem like there was a dead person inside.

"What's going on, is it strange?"

On the coffin board, there are branches and leaves more than one meter long, which are green and dripping. There are a few leaves on it, which are lotus leaves.

I was dizzy, this coffin was made of lotus root, Tan Jingjing was shocked when she found out the truth.

"Wait, I seem to have an impression that there seems to be a secret method of cultivation. The strong are unwilling to be reconciled in life, and want to live forever after death! So... is it that?"

At this moment, Tan Jingjing's heart was shaken, and he thought of some secrets.

According to legend, the coffin with the lotus root of the gods will be immortal, and one day the dead will be resurrected!

Even in myths and legends, there are similar descriptions and examples, and even the use of it in life is ingenious, and it is related to Taoism and Buddhism.Even among the stories known to ordinary people, there are similar examples to be found.

For example, Nezha is reborn in the form of lotus root.

The dragon kings of the four seas went to the Lingxiao Hall to sue the Jade Emperor, and came to question his parents.Nezha didn't want to bring harm to his parents. In order to show that what he did was related to his parents, and "one person should act alone", he resolutely raised his sword to disembowel himself, cut out his intestines and bones, and died by returning his flesh and blood to his parents.

On Qianyuan Mountain, Nezha's master Taiyi Zhenren picked lotus flowers and lotus leaves from the five-color lotus pond, used them as his body to be resurrected, and bestowed two rounds of wind and fire, and taught him the fire-pointed spear technique. [

Later, when the king of Zhou launched an army to defeat Zhou, Nezha, who "appeared as two lotus flowers, and the second generation of the Lingzhu came out of the mortal world", went down the mountain to assist Jiang Ziya, the beheaded general, to fight on the battlefield, and made many military exploits with his bravery. Chapter 14 of "Fengshen Yanyi" has a poem at the beginning, which summarizes Nezha's deeds in this way: "The magical power of the immortal family is incalculable, and there is a different way to bring the dead back to life. A grain of cinnabar returns to the treasure of life, and a few lotus leaves continue the soul soup. Transcendence does not need dirty bones, but one must find the fragrance of the soul to become a saint.

The same lotus root, lotus, and the same five-color pond, but there is an extra five-color lotus pond in the story. All of these suddenly made Tan Jingjing have some strange associations.

Lotus has a long history in China. Lotus leaf fossils 1000 million years ago were unearthed in the Qaidam Basin in Northwest China. There are "Fusu in the mountains, and lotus in Xie" ("Book of Songs"), "Make lotus for clothes, gather hibiscus for clothes" ("Lisao"), and the Beijing Palace Museum has a bronze handicraft of the Spring and Autumn Period "Lotus Crane". Square Pot", from which we can see the Chinese people's love for this flower and its long inheritance!

The lotus is also regarded as a sacred thing in local folk religions, such as the Tang Dynasty Taoist Du Guangting's poem "Seven treasures are born naturally, everyone sits on a lotus" ("Seven True Praises", see "Quan Tang Poems Continued" Volume [-]). In "Fengshen Yanyi", the treasure "Dunlong pile" used by Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun in Yuxiaodong, Wulong Mountain to subdue Nezha, also known as "Seven Treasures Golden Lotus". The willows are blown by the breeze, and the flowers are floating on the water surface in the pool. May I ask where to live in peace, the home is deep in the white clouds.”

But at the same time, Chinese folk generally worship the lotus as a sacred object (especially linking it with reproductive worship), and they are suspected to be influenced by Buddhist culture.Buddhism originated in India, and the lotus is the national flower of India. "There was a belief in the lotus in ancient India. Sanskrit has its own special term for the red, white, blue, and yellow lotus." (1) Yoga originated in India anciently, such as "lotus position" The basic body postures for practicing Kungfu, such as "Zuguan Lotus", "Lotus Palm", etc., are well known.

Of course, please don't immediately think of Guanyin sitting on the lotus, and find a specific move [I am a pure and good boy[--]!

Many plant images in Buddhist scriptures also entered the spiritual and cultural field of Chinese people with the spread of Buddhism to the East. The holy lotus is one of the typical ones.

Lotus originally means the most pure, most wonderful, most divine and most holy thing enshrined by Buddhism!

The lotus flower is also closely related to the Buddha himself. According to legend, the sage of the Sakya tribe was originally a god in the sky. Before his birth, there were eight kinds of auspiciousness in the court of King Jingfan, and a hundred birds sang on the top of the palace. The flowers and trees in the four seasons are beautiful, and the lotus flower as big as a canopy suddenly blooms in the pool.When Sakyamuni was born, lotus flowers grew under his feet every step of the way!

In "Journey to the West", it is written that to subdue the red boy, Guanyin Bodhisattva sits on the Qianye lotus platform.Avalokitesvara has many incarnations and forms. In addition to the common image of willows holding a clean bottle, there is Doro Avalokitesvara, which looks like a middle-aged woman, dressed in white, with a high bun, smiling, and holding a green lotus with palms together; Green-headed Avalokitesvara, like sitting on a cliff, with one arm drooping, five fingers stretched out, one arm bent at the elbow, the hand as the left chest, holding a green lotus.Like a willow branch, the lotus is also one of the symbols of this bodhisattva who is merciful and compassionate, and saves all living beings.

Buddhism calls the Buddha Kingdom "Lotus Realm", temples "Lotus House" and cassocks "Lotus Clothes". Among them, there is the "Miaofa Lotus Sutra" that uses lotus flowers to represent the Mahayana magic method that leads all living beings.

Taoist Sanqing, the top of the head is also the image of a lotus.At the beginning of the chaos, there is also the innate primordial green lotus of the chaos, which is the original heart of the world and the universe.

Why, so many legends are related to lotus root and lotus flower?Why, there is a chaotic green lotus in my body?Why did this lotus root coffin and lotus platform resonate with me inexplicably?

For a moment, Tan Jingjing fell into inexplicable comprehension...

The temperature plummeted by [-] degrees, and I almost fell from the cold, I fainted [--]!
