Views:

"What's wrong with you?" Pang Bo's voice reached Ye Fan's ears, and he was shaking his shoulder vigorously.

Ye Fan wakes up like a dream, where is there any Buddhist sound, where is there any Zen singing, the ancient temple is still there, with a thick layer of dust, while others seem to have never heard of it.

"Is it really the Great Leiyin Temple?" He whispered to himself. Although what he heard and seen just now was short-lived, why is it so real? This made him dazed for a while, thinking carefully.

Ye Fan stared at the ancient bronze lamp in his hand, but he no longer had any special feeling. There were some patterns engraved on it, which were simple and natural, ordinary and nothing unusual.

"Futon!" A male student found an old futon from a pile of ashes, and the years had not worn it away.

Not long after, another female student found a red sandalwood rosary from under the thick dust. It was not damaged by time, and it still had a faint luster when the dust was blown away.

At the same time, Cade found a half-broken wooden fish in the dust in front of the stone Buddha, engraved with three Bodhisattvas, either solemn or compassionate, lifelike.

At this moment, Ye Fan was thinking a lot. If this is really the Daleiyin Temple in the legend, then it is a land abandoned by the gods, and all unearthed artifacts should be extraordinary!

"when!"

Wang Ziwen's foot seemed to have kicked something, and there was a metal trembling sound, and the dust in the corner was pushed away, revealing a broken copper bell that was as big as a palm, missing a clock wall, and the style was old.

"When..." He shook the copper bell, and suddenly there was a melodious bell sound, like the sound of the Buddha, which made people feel peaceful.

Ye Fan's thoughts were interrupted, so he couldn't help looking at the copper bell, which was engraved with flowing cloud patterns, with a sense of Zen in its simplicity and a Buddhist rhyme.

Pangbo muttered softly. He entered the ancient temple first, but found nothing. It can only be said that he was unlucky.

Almost at the same time, Li Xiaoman found half of Ruyi jade at the foot of the stone Buddha, wiped off the dust, and the crystal clear residual jade suddenly revealed a little bit of brilliance.

The ancient temple seemed to be empty, but a few people found artifacts under the dust, and others immediately moved quickly and searched one after another.

Ye Fan didn't care about those utensils. The only spotless, intact, and everlasting bronze ancient lamp in the ancient temple was in his hand, and other utensils were obviously incomparable.

"I don't believe I can't find anything..." Pombo muttered.

"You look here carefully, and no matter what utensils you find, you must put them away." Ye Fan handed the ancient lamp to Pang Bo and asked him to use the light to search. Although he couldn't see the magic of these broken Buddhist utensils for the time being, he knew If there are gods in this world, these things must be extraordinary!

Ye Fan temporarily handed over the copper lamp to Pang Bo, while he stepped out of the ancient temple and walked towards the bodhi tree in front of the temple. At this time, he had gotten rid of his original mindset and temporarily convinced himself that the gods really existed.

Since the ancient temple is the Daleiyin Temple, how can you miss the bodhi tree beside it? If there is a Buddha in the world, that dry ancient tree must be extraordinary!

The Bodhi tree is a sacred tree in Buddhism. According to the "Da Tang Western Regions", the Buddha once said to Ananda that there are three kinds of utensils that should be worshiped... Buddha bone relics, Buddha statues and Bodhi trees.

Because the Buddha became enlightened 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 horned dragon, and even six or seven people can't hold it together. clear.

Regardless of whether this ancient tree is related to Buddha or not, the six green jade-like leaves alone are enough to show its extraordinary.

Ye Fan came under the tree and carefully looked at the ancient Bodhi tree. The huge branches almost completely pressed on the top of the ancient temple. If the branches were covered with leaves, one can imagine the scene of covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

At this moment, Ye Fan's heart moved, and he found that the six crystal green leaves were slightly invisible, and a small part of them floated in the direction of the five-color altar in the distance, while most of them sank into the roots of the tree.

There are dots of green clouds, shaped like silk, constantly overflowing from the six green leaves, making people feel a breath of life, with endless vigorous vitality circulating.

Ye Fan squatted down to scrape away the soil at the root of the tree, wanting to see what was underneath that could condense the green glow overflowing from the bodhi leaf.

Under the soil, he didn't see any miraculous things, but only found a bodhi seed, which had no light to flicker, no flowers to gather, no clouds to surround, and the color was gray and ordinary. If you didn't pay attention, it would be mistaken for a clod of soil.

The only thing special is its size, the ordinary bodhi seed is only the size of a fingernail, but this gray bodhi seed is as big as a walnut.

Ye Fan was surprised for a while, could it be that the green glow overflowing from the bodhi leaf was absorbed by it? After observing for a while, I saw a threadlike green glow flowing down, and disappeared three inches away from the bodhi seed.

Although it has not been seen to absorb the essence of the bodhi leaf, it is almost confirmed that it caused it.

Ye Fan held this bodhi seed in the palm of his hand, and after careful observation, he was shocked. The natural lines on this dark and ordinary bodhi seed are connected together, which turned out to be a compassionate Buddha!

The Buddha is naturally formed, completely born of the intersection of natural textures, but it seems to be carefully carved on it.

The gray Buddha picture is simple and natural, with a faint Zen charm coming out.

"The picture of a born Buddha, could it be said that Sakyamuni really failed to attain enlightenment because of the bodhi tree 2,500 years ago?"

The bodhi tree has other names, such as the tree of wisdom, the tree of enlightenment, and the tree of thinking. It is said that it can open up the divinity of people and realize their own body.

Ye Fan raised the bodhi seed over his head, facing the six green leaves on it, the speed of the green clouds overflowing was much faster, the vigorous breath became stronger, and all concentrated on the bodhi seed, of course, the brilliance still disappeared within three inches of it. outside.

"Boom!"

There was a soft sound, and a piece of crystal bodhi leaf released the last green glow, then shattered, turned into fly ash, and fell down.

At this point, Ye Fan was finally convinced that the Bodhisattva seemed ordinary, but it was extraordinary, so he treasured it and put it away.

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 turned into just now. Could it be that all the bodhi leaves on the tree disappeared like this? This surprised Ye Fan quite a bit.

The bodhi child who was born with a picture of Buddha made him feel that it was very important. He vaguely felt that it was more important than the ancient bronze 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 before, and they are much darker. Ye Fan didn't pick them off, and harvesting one Bodhi seed is enough, he doesn't want to attract attention.

At this time, no one came out of the Daleiyin Temple, Ye Fan left the Bodhi tree and returned to the ancient temple.

At this moment, another seven or eight people have found Buddhist artifacts, each with a different appearance. Liu Yunzhi actually found half of the golden pestle from behind the stone Buddha. Although it had been buried in the dust for many years, it was still shining brightly when it was unearthed again, giving people a heavy and compact feeling. If one end was not damaged, it could be called a golden pestle. A perfect and powerful forged masterpiece.

This kind of scepter-like pestle has a very powerful name in Buddhism. The staff held.

If there is a Buddha in the world, this vajra is undoubtedly a holy object, and it must have extraordinary and different appearances. Even if it has the mysterious power of breaking mountains and rivers, it is not surprising, but at this moment, there is no magic.

Liu Yunzhi swung it vigorously, and the half of the vajra flashed like a golden lightning, shining brightly, and the vajra was very imposing.

"Tell me, if these utensils are held by the gods, if we find out how to use them, what kind of earth-shattering scene will there be..."

Hearing Liu Yunzhi's words, all the people who found the Buddhist artifact were fascinated for a while.
