Chapter 20 The Yellow Heaven and Stars Light Tathagata

Smoke lingered, white clouds shrouded the high-hanging Dharma banners in the main hall, looming behind A gilt Buddha statue more than ten feet high.

Gein's ex-grandmother believed in Buddhism. Chen Qingzhi also knew some images of Buddha Bodhisattva, but in any case, he couldn't associate it with any one in his memory.

On the lotus pedestal, the tall Buddha statue with thousands of hands and thousands of eyes is not sitting down, but standing solemnly. The true face of the Buddha.

The Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes is one of the incarnations of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. Could it be that this world is after Bodhisattva Guanyin attained Buddhahood?

If so, then what should be enshrined in that Three Saints Hall?

Chen Qingzhi was confused for a while.

Perhaps because of staring at him for too long, in a trance, he seemed to see the hundreds of hands and eyes turned into countless tentacles, extending from the tattered robe, and the monk's chanting gradually expanded. , until it turned into an inaudible babble.

Everything is constantly magnifying before my eyes, like a yellow imprint that keeps spinning, flickering and wriggling.

Chen Qingzhi hugged his head in pain, blood dripping from his mouth, nose, and eyes.

What kind of weird terrifying existence are these monks worshipping?

As the consciousness faded away, the young man seemed to recall his previous life and witnessed the indescribable immortal, the shadows hiding the sky and covering the earth crawling and crawling as if they were about to become reality.

[You hear the whispers of Supreme people occasionally, some knowledge is forcibly instilled in your mind, the innate talent is unexpectedly touched, and your internal strength mental method changes, from which you realize "Ageless Youthful Divine Art" a roll. ]

[Warning, you are being watched by Supreme! ]

His head was on the verge of exploding, and at this moment, a rough hand with some Old Xu calluses rested on Chen Qingzhi's shoulder.

"This benefactor, but is not feeling well?"

The middle-aged monk's warm and jade-like voice sounded, and at the same time, a faint spark pulled the young man back from his delusion. Reality.

Chen Qingzhi's dilated pupils gradually focused on the monk's stunned and concerned face.

Almost subconsciously breaking free from the opponent's arm, the young man took a few steps back until the eerie Buddha statue disappeared from his field of vision.

Besides his mood swings, he didn't even pay attention to the Bronze Ancient Lamp swaying weakly in the other's hand.

"Donor, please go to the meditation room with the little monk to rest for a while. Your face is really ugly."

Seeing that Chen Qingzhi did not respond for a long time, the monk asked with concern from the same place. .

At this moment, Chen Qingzhi suddenly found that the crowds all around offering incense and worshiping the Buddha were sparse, and the clouds in the sky seemed to have been burned by fire, leaving only the splendid afterglow of the evening.

“Elder, how long have I been standing here?”

As soon as he spoke, Chen Qingzhi found his voice was dry and hoarse, like a desert without water for many days the traveler.

"Amitabha, the donor has been standing in front of the temple gate for nearly three hours. The little monk saw the donor or was inspired by the Buddha, so he held a long bright lamp to protect the Dharma, so as not to misunderstand the understanding of the donor."

Chanting a Buddha's name, the monk replied obediently and honestly.

"How long did you say I've been standing?"

Chen Qingzhi looked in disbelief. He clearly felt that he couldn't get enough of a cup of tea, but it was already past the monk's mouth. half a day.

"Amitabha, a monk doesn't lie."

The monk lowered his eyebrows, but his tone was firm.

"Sorry, I was emotional and couldn't help myself. I hope Elder will not take offense."

Rubbing his drowsy head, Chen Qingzhi forced a smile.

The kind of fear and powerlessness brought about by facing the ineffable, even if it has been freed, it is still like a frightened bird, unable to control his emotions at all.

"By the way, I haven't asked about Elder's name yet. I still have a lot of troubles now. I wonder if Elder can answer my questions for me?"

"Elder doesn't dare to be a monk, little monk. The Dharma name Jingyuan is the abbot of this Dingguang Temple."

What Chen Qingzhi did not expect was that this middle-aged monk with a delicious and pretty face, who looked no more than 30 years old, was actually this man. The abbot of Dingguang Temple.

Seriously daoist doesn't show up.

"Since the donor has a relationship with my Buddha, the little monk will naturally speak endlessly, and the donor will walk with the little monk."

After turning around, the monk Jingyuan held the bronze lamp The oil lamp must be in order to Chen Qingzhi to lead the way.

didn't expect that the other party would be so easy to talk to, after a moment of hesitation, Chen Qingzhi still clenched the teeth followed along. At this moment, he had too many doubts in his heart, and he needed the person in front of him who seemed to know something. The monk untied the knot for him.

Taking advantage of the still dark sky, the two of them were walking on a secluded path among the bamboo forests. After a while, they heard Chen Qingzhi ask Monk Jingyuan.

"Master Jingyuan, dare to ask which Buddha is enshrined in the temple just now?"

"Amitabha, what the benefactor saw just now is the yellow sky constellation that the temple has enshrined for many years. The Light Tathagata is the Buddha of this world."

"And which three Buddha Bodhisattva are worshipped in the Three Saints Hall?"

"The Buddha in the center is naturally the Buddha of Infinite Life, the two on the left and right are The side attendants are the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and the Da Shizhi Bodhisattva.”

“The Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva can have a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, or hold sun and moon beads, poplar branches, clean bottles, precious arrows, etc. ?"

"Thousand-handed means protecting all living beings, and a thousand eyes means all-seeing the world. This is the great vow made by the Tathagata of the Yellow Heaven and Stars before he became a Buddha. Why did the donor impose it on Bodhisattva."

Monk Jingyuan looked towards Chen Qingzhi with a puzzled face, as if wondering why the other party made such a common-sense mistake.

"..."

Chen Qingzhi fell into silence, he couldn't tell the other party that in another world, the Guanyin of great compassion with thousands of hands and thousands of eyes is one of the incarnations of Guanyin Bodhisattva, right? .

Seeing what Chen Qingzhi was hiding, Zen Master Jingyuan didn't ask any further questions, but changed the subject very naturally.

"Even the monks in this monastery are rarely able to sudden enlightenment in front of the Buddha. The donor and my Buddha seem to have a lot of fate. The little monk here has a Buddha seal that has been enlightened, and he is entitled to present Buddha with borrowed flowers, I hope the donor will not dislike it."

"Those who want to come and have a deep Buddhist relationship like the donor will surely be blessed by the Buddha."

Speaking, the monk Jingyuan said From the cloth jacket, he took out a triangular folded bright yellow talisman paper and handed it to Chen Qingzhi.

"Many thanks, Zen master is kind, but the boy is disrespectful—"

Reaching out to take the talisman paper handed over by the other party, Chen Qingzhi was about to bow his hand in thanks when he caught a glimpse of the talisman paper. The imprint on it, I almost threw the Buddha imprint out without grasping it firmly.

On the rough yellow mounted paper, cinnabar outlines three patterns similar to question marks, two of which are opposite to each other, and the middle point is like a deep vortex, which firmly attracts Chen Qingzhi's attention.

Isn't this the reason why he fell into delusion just now, the yellow mark that kept spinning, flickering and wriggling in front of his eyes!
