Chapter 52 The Broken Temple, the Bodhisattva, and the Headless Buddha Statue.
The ancient temple is full of divine brilliance, which is very extraordinary.
Such an ancient temple appeared in such a vast desert, but it was a little strange.
"Where was the Tianjiao battlefield in the past?". Lin Feng muttered to himself.
"This small world is very mysterious. It is said that it was found by Hachio from a secret place in the Middle Ages. It was a small world that was shaped by a giant god in the past." Guan Guan knew something about this and told Lin Feng everything he knew.
"The Hachiman in the Middle Ages is very mysterious in itself. He suddenly left and disappeared without a trace. Now, this temple appears in the desert, which is too weird!" Lin Feng said.
Originally, he and Guan Guan were very excited when they heard the bell, but now, both of them have calmed down.
Because what I saw in front of me was really weird.
"The ruined ancient temple is worth seeing." Guan Guan said.
Lin Feng nodded, and he and Guan Guan walked towards the ancient temple.
If you leave here, you will regret it.
The sound of the bell had disappeared, until Lin Feng and Guan Guan came to the ancient temple, the sound of the bell never rang again.
When I came to the ancient temple, I only knew what the ruins of the ancient temple looked like.
Many places are covered with green moss, and there are dense cracks on the walls, which will collapse anytime, anywhere.
Lin Feng pushed open the courtyard door, and he and Guan Guan entered the temple.
The courtyard is very simple. There is a huge cauldron, which is obviously the cauldron used for incense, but because it has not been used for too long, the cauldron has already produced patina.
The furnace is very ordinary, not a treasure, and Lin Feng has not seen it much.
"Ancient tree...".
Guan Guan looked at an ancient tree in the courtyard in surprise. Now this ancient tree has withered. It is about three meters high and as thick as the mouth of a bowl.
tree trunks bend,
There is a sense of vigor, just like the body of a horned dragon, and the open bark is like dragon scales.
There are still more than a dozen fruits hanging on the ancient tree. Lin Feng and Guanguan came to the ancient tree. He picked a fruit, but with a little force, the fruit shattered, and it was already rotten.
"The time is too long, enough for many things to decay," Lin Feng said.
But soon, Lin Feng discovered something was wrong.
Because this ancient tree has been dead for so many years, it is still vigorous, but it does not mean to decay.
"This tree is not simple." Lin Feng frowned.
"Could it be... the Bodhi tree?" Guan Guan said uncertainly.
Lin Feng was surprised. If it was a linden tree, it would be too amazing.
Buddhism has such records.
Buddha soil produces five-colored stems, one flower one world, one leaf one Tathagata.
The Sixth Patriarch said: There is no tree in Bodhi, and the Bodhi tree is an expedient method. One leaf and one bodhi This leaf is that tree.
In fact, this passage is very easy to understand in layman's terms, meaning that the Bodhi tree is the sacred tree of Buddhism.
When Bodhi blooms, a Bodhi flower can be transformed into a world, and a Bodhi leaf can see through the future destiny.
But unfortunately, the linden tree in front of me has withered, no flowers or leaves. Of course, Lin Feng and Guanguan are still not sure whether it is really a linden tree.
"Buddhism seldom plant other vegetation in temples, but only love Bodhi tree, which has allusions. In Buddhist legends, there are three Buddhas in the past, present, and future, and these three Buddhas, Respect the present Buddha."
Guan Guan talked about some rumors about Buddhism.
In the past, Buddha was honored as "Lighting Lamp"!
Now the Buddha is called "Sakyamuni"!
The future Buddha is called "Maitreya"!
…
It is rumored that the current Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha realized the Tao under the Bodhi tree, and since then he has cultivated into a righteous fruit, shaped an immortal golden body, and became the head of all Buddhas.
Since then, Buddhism has honored the Bodhi tree as the "sacred tree".
Of course, linden trees are very rare.
It is too incredible to have a Bodhi tree planted in such a dilapidated ancient temple.
Lin Feng picked all the dozens of fruits, and crushed them one by one.
Seven fruits were crushed in a row, but nothing happened to the eighth one.
"Hey, this fruit is not easy...". Lin Feng was surprised. He carefully observed the eighth fruit. This fruit was about ten centimeters long, oval in shape, dark brown, and did not look very good.
"This is? The mark of the Buddha?". Lin Feng was surprised.
He saw something amazing. On the fruit, a Buddha was vaguely branded. Lin Feng didn't know if it was really a Buddha.
Very similar though.
He let Guanguan take a look, and she was also very surprised, she said, "There is a saying that the image is born from the heart, it is rumored that the Bodhi tree has a spirit, listen to the Buddha's teachings every day, and the bodhi seeds that are born will show the Buddha. It seems that this is indeed a dead Bodhi tree, and what you are holding in your hand is a Bodhi seed, which is a sacred object of Buddhism. It can help monks to realize the Tao.”
The value of a sacred object like the Bodhi seed is unimaginable. If it is as Guan Guan said, this is the Bodhi seed, and its value is astonishing.
The rest of the fruit, Lin Feng checked again, he found a similar fruit, which was not destroyed by time.
Lin Feng gave the second fruit to Guan Guan.
The two of them walked towards the temple. The temple was completely dilapidated, and even the Buddha statue had collapsed. Lin Feng felt strange that the collapsed Buddha statue in the temple had no head.
"How can the head disappear? It's really weird, could it be taken away by someone?". Lin Feng frowned slightly. At this time, he felt a little uneasy for no reason.
"I wonder if there are any treasures left here?". Guan Guan said.
"Look and find out"!
Lin Feng and Guan Guan searched in the temple, but they were unable to find anything.
"Does it foreshadow the lonely temple standing in the desert and the headless Buddha statue?". Lin Feng murmured.
He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"This temple is indeed a little evil"! Guan Guan said.
"It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, let's leave quickly"! Lin Feng said.
Guan Guan nodded.
The two of them walked outside, but when Lin Feng and Guanguan came outside, their expressions changed drastically.
I saw that the sky was completely darkened.
in all directions.
The black fog rolled.
Endless black fog.
It came from a distance, as if the end was about to come.
In the darkness, it seems that an ancient demon is recovering.
Lin Feng and Guan Guan felt their souls tremble.
Endless darkness shrouded in, to devour this dilapidated small temple.
