Chapter 471: Is this sending a child to the Buddha unseemly or are we too obscene?
After Jin An finished speaking, he reached out and took out the Buddha statue.
As a result, the big eyes stared at the small eyes for a long time.
I can’t tell what kind of Buddha this is.
On the contrary, we found many scriptures engraved on the back of the Buddha statue.
But the key point is that they don’t understand the scriptures.
Although he couldn't understand the scriptures, Jin An thought about it carefully and felt that this thing looked familiar.
“Buddha amulet?” Jin An was surprised.
Buddha statue from the front.
The back is a prayer scripture or a scripture to save the souls of the dead.
Isn’t this an enlarged version of the Buddha amulet?
It’s just that this amulet is a bit too big!
“This is a scripture in Tubo language.” Mr. Yiyun was so knowledgeable that he could spot the clues of this naked Buddha statue at a glance.
“Mr. Yiyun, can you understand the scripture above?” Jin An beamed with joy and directly handed the naked Buddha statue in his hand to the other party.
After Master Yiyun took over the naked Buddha statue, he did not immediately translate the scriptures, but looked at them up and down: "The scriptures behind the Buddha statue are indeed in Tubo script. This should be the Tsa Tsa Buddha from Tubo, but it is different from Tubo.
Tsa Tsa Buddha seems to be a Tsa Tsa Buddha that has been artificially modified."
“Tubo has experienced several major turning points in history. Could it be that the Buddhists here are one of the believers who escaped from Tubo?”
When talking about this, Mr. Yiyun frowned: "Is this a branch that escaped from Tubo? Why is this Tsa Tsa Buddha different from the Tsa Tsa Buddha I have seen several times? Unless I can find it in the Buddhist kingdom
The answer can only be found through the ancient scriptures and scrolls that are still left."
Jin An suddenly realized that it was indeed a large Buddha amulet! He had indeed seen it right from the beginning!
Although Buddhist amulets are popular in Southeast Asia, the Tsa Tsa Buddha originated from Tubo. The Tsa Tsa Buddha was very large and was not convenient for monks to carry and pray during the war years. Therefore, amulets were developed that were easy to wear around the neck.
Essentially speaking, there is no essential difference between the Buddha amulet and the Tsa Tsa Buddha. They both have the Buddha face on the front and the scriptures blessed by the eminent monks of the temple on the back.
It’s just a simplified version, a full version with amplified power.
Because the Tsa Tsa Buddha in front of him had been artificially altered and was still a naked Buddha, he did not think about it for a moment. But after Mr. Yiyun reminded him, he immediately recognized it because he had seen Tsa Tsa Buddha before.
“Then what does the above scripture mean?” Jin An asked curiously.
Mr. Yiyun glanced at the scriptures on the back of the Buddha statue that were blessed by eminent monks, and then put it back into the shrine without thinking: "This young monk is a son of the Buddha, and this is the Buddha who sent his son."
«
Jin'an: "I have only heard of the Guanyin Avalokitesvara. What is the method of sending a child to the Buddha?"
Regardless of whether it was the naked Buddha or the Buddha giving away his son, Master Yiyun looked calm throughout the whole process. He was a gentleman and magnanimous. His actions were worthy of others and his heart was worthy of his heart. She calmly asked back: "Taoist Master Jin'an, do you think the Bodhisattva is a boy or a boy?"
female?"
Jin An was startled when he heard the words, and immediately understood the meaning of the other party's words.
He is in trouble.
Thousands of people look at the Buddha, and the Buddha has thousands of faces.
All conditioned phenomena are like bubbles in a dream, like dew or lightning, and should be viewed as such.
Mr. Yiyun asked a simple rhetorical question, but it revealed Buddhist philosophy.
The three Aiyimaiti people on the side were once again confused by the riddle-like exchange between Jin An and Mr. Yiyun. However, the biggest advantage of the three of them was to ask questions when they didn't understand. The three of them asked a little dazedly: "What do you mean?"
?Why if thousands of people look at the Buddha, the Buddha will have thousands of faces?"
Jin An gave a general summary of his own understanding: Thousands of rivers and thousands of waters, thousands of waters and one month, thousands of people see the Buddha, the Buddha has thousands of faces, the Buddha has no appearance, and has all the appearances of living beings, good people see the Buddha as a good Buddha
, Evil people see the Buddha as an angry-eyed Vajra, and people with obsessions see the Buddha as a compassionate Buddha...
The three of them were still confused this time.
On the other hand, Mr. Yiyun nodded slightly to him, indicating that he agreed with his interpretation.
Ai Maimaiti was confused when he heard this: "Taoist Master Jin'an, you said that good and evil people see Buddha differently, but we see that this little monk is indeed naked, so is it that this Buddha who gives birth to a child is not serious or are we?"
Too obscene?"
Mr. Yiyun: "?"
Jin'an: "?"
Do you understand the Buddha's words so well? Who are you scolding for being too obscene?
Vulgar!
It seems that I have no chance to have wisdom in this life!
Fortunately, Jin An was thick-skinned and calmly said: "The monk who made this Tsa Tsa Buddha is not normal."
Seeing that these people were very interested in Chinese and Buddhist language and wanted to continue asking questions, Jin An coughed and changed the subject: "Master Yiyun, you just said that this Tsa Tsa Buddha has been artificially altered. What happened?
thing?"
Mr. Yiyun: "The purpose of Tsa Tsa Buddha in Buddhism is to accumulate good deeds and merits, to ward off disasters and pray for blessings. It is usually made of clay, plain clay, clay gold, etc., and it is also used by great masters or ancestors, parents, relatives and friends.
His ashes were mixed with clay and shaped into a Tsa Tsa Buddha."
“Depending on the different clay materials used, the Tsa Tsa Buddhas produced are also very different. For example, the most common one is the clay Tsa Tsa Buddha. There are ordinary mud Tsa Tsa Buddhas, and there are also slightly better mud Tsa Tsa Buddhas with incense and ash added.”
"On top of the mud Buddha is the bone Buddha. It is not difficult to understand. The bones of the deceased monks or the bones of relatives and friends are cremated into ashes and mixed into the mud to make the bone Buddha. Because they have received the blessings of the monks' Dharma or the blessings of their ancestors and parents.
It is blessed by Ze, so people who have the bone rubbing Buddha can ward off evil, ward off disasters and eliminate misfortune.”
"Further up is the Bucha Buddha. The cloth here is not the cloth we often call cloth, but the pronunciation of 'dharma body, golden body' in Tubo language, which means the golden body of the eminent monk after his death.
After a series of tedious processes, the Tsa Tsa Buddha is made by mixing it with soil. It is said that people who wear the Tsa Tsa Buddha with their bodies can be protected from all diseases and poisons, and can be safe and invulnerable. If the Tsa Tsa Buddha is said to be passively blocked
Today, the Bucha Buddha can actively protect people from disasters, which is even more powerful than the amulets we often say. Wearing a Bucha Buddha is equivalent to having life protection."
"In addition, there are also some rare medicinal Tsa Buddhas, named Tsa Tsa Buddha, gold Tsa Buddha, silver Tsa Buddha... which are Tsa Tsa Buddhas made of precious medicinal materials, and are made from the hands of historical celebrities or everyone.
Tsa Tsa Buddha made of calligraphy and painting, and Tsa Tsa Buddha made of gold or silver are rare. The most common ones are clay Tsa Buddha, bone Tsa Buddha, and cloth Tsa Buddha."
Mr. Yiyun: "The size of this Tsa Tsa Buddha is a bit wrong. It is a bit smaller than some of the authentic Tsa Tsa Buddhas I have seen in the past few years. It does not seem to be orthodox."
"The difference can also be seen through the details of some pictures and text carvings. The authentic Tsa Tsa Buddha is used to pray to the Buddha, so the Prajna Sutra and mantras, six-character mantras, etc. will be supplemented around the Buddha statue, but around this
The scriptures surrounding the Buddha do not belong to any orthodox Buddhist scriptures, 'Xi Xuan (xuān)...Ban Xu (xuān) Luo...'"
But before Mr. Yiyun finished reading, the atmosphere in the room suddenly dropped. A feeling of heart palpitations and oppression came from above his head, which made Jin An look up in shock.
They did not see a ferocious human head staring at them as they imagined.
There was nothing above my head.
As Young Master Yiyun stopped reciting the incantation, the palpitation and oppression in his heart also disappeared. Jin An and Young Master Yiyun frowned deeply in thought.
That feeling just now was not a good experience.
That is an evil thought.
For a moment, Jin An was so shocked that goosebumps broke out all over his body.
It is an instinctive harbinger of danger.
On the contrary, the three people of Ayimaimaiti who had lower cultivation level, their sixth sense was not as sharp as the two of them, so they were completely unaware of it.
Sometimes it is a blessing to be naive and ignorant, not knowing that a disaster is coming.
Click!
There was a crisp sound in the house.
As Young Master Yiyun interrupted his chanting of the mantra, the child Buddha statue that was placed back in the shrine cracked out of thin air and broke into two halves.
As the child Buddha statue broke into two halves, something that had been sealed in the clay was revealed.
"Well, what is this?" Jin An's face darkened, and he was not polite at all. He broke the clay Buddha statue into pieces with three strokes, and revealed from the statue a mummy of a baby with his hands wrapped around his legs and his body curled up.
.
However, there were only two dark holes in the eye sockets of the baby mummy, and the eyes had been dug out long before death.
“Beast!”
“How could they do this to such a small child!”
“This child is so pitiful!”
Ayimaimaiti and the other three were so angry that they yelled and cursed.
At this time, even Jin An and Mr. Yiyun looked unhappy. Jin An said, "It seems that the Buddha is paying for his life by sacrificing a human life to the owner of the house in exchange for a child."
"I heard from the older generation that some vicious kidnappers and bandits were afraid that they would be haunted by ghosts after killing people, so they would gouge out their eyes before killing people. It seems that this large Buddha amulet was made
Those who make Tsa Tsa Buddha also understand this truth, so they pluck out the baby's eyes, seal them in a coffin, and finally seal them in Tsa Tsa Buddha."
Jin An's tone became lower and lower as he spoke: "Now I finally understand what is going on in this room. Why is there a baby suddenly placed in a room with children's beds and children's clothes?
Shrine, this room is not for living people at all, but a ghost house for raising imps!"
Why.
A few sighs.
"Taoist Master Jin'an, he is so pitiful. It is fate to meet each other in such a huge desert. Why don't we take him out with us, and then find a place to build a tomb for him and bury him properly." Aheqi sighed.
said.
"If I carry a plague bird on my back, it won't weigh much more than the corpse of a baby. He can't even be buried in peace after he dies. Although I don't know where his home is, I need to take him away from this man-eating Buddhist country.
Being buried outside can be regarded as a relief for him."
Jin An nodded and planned to wrap the baby's mummy in a cloth and take it out to find a place to bury it, but as soon as his hand touched the baby's mummy, it shattered into powder all over the sky.
A thousand years is too long.
He is destined not to wait for the kindness of the world.
You will never be able to see the sunlight in the darkness.
The matter of the mummy of the baby had demoralized the team for a long time. The five of them had traveled a long way in the Buddhist Kingdom, and still could not see the end. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, the vision under the Great Rift Valley was dim, and it was getting darker faster than outside, so they planned to start first
Find a place to spend your first night in the Buddhist Kingdom.
At this time, even the dullest people could see that this Buddhist country was unusual. After careful consideration, Jin An found a terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack as a resting place.
Moreover, in order to prevent the bonfire from being too conspicuous at night and attracting prying eyes from someone or something, Jin An asked everyone to finish dinner in advance, have a quick meal, and then wait quietly for the first night in the Buddhist kingdom.
Yin energy is the strongest at night.
If this Buddhist kingdom is really built in a very shady place.
Whether there is any secret hidden in the Buddha Kingdom, we will find out the truth tonight.
So tonight is an extremely important night.
Jin'an is ready to cope with it with all its strength.
It's not yet dark outside, and when there is still the last ray of dusk at the end of the sky, it is completely dark in the Great Rift Valley. When even the last ray of dusk at the end of the sky disappears, the Great Rift Valley is completely dark, and you can't see anything.
In the dark darkness, various terrifying sounds began to appear one after another.
Woo
Like a cold wind blowing from the Great Rift Valley.
Dang
There was a violent clashing sound of chains.
Shashasha
Like those shade-loving plants rustling and swaying in the dark wind, as if there are countless pairs of ghosts waving in the dark night.
In the midst of this, there were also several sounds like the gnawing and swallowing sounds of wild beasts.
It is strange to say that there is obviously a lot of movement outside, but there is a kind of deathly silence, and the atmosphere becomes a bit confusing for a while.
Jin An thought about it carefully, and it seemed that the Great Rift Valley was emitting an inexplicable aura that made people feel palpitating and depressing. The more concentrated they were, the quieter they felt.
Very contradictory feeling.
But the oppressive feeling from some inexplicable aura always overflows like a dark tide. It cannot be seen or touched, but it is always slowly covering the whole body. In the end, it is like falling into the dark deep sea alone, that kind of loneliness, coldness, depression and despair.
, suffocation... and other negative emotions are aroused and explode one after another, which can drive normal people crazy.
Jin An’s eyes are clear and clear.
His body was full of energy and blood.
You don’t even need to use the Liuding Liujia Talisman.
Just one blood circulation, the hot blood rushes through the body, and then overflows along the pores on the body surface, surrounding the whole body, driving out all the yin energy that invades the body.
He is full of blood.
The blood is burning like an oven.
Even the three people around him, Mr. Yiyun and Ayimaimaiti, were protected by his strong blood, and the outside Yin Qi could not get within one foot of him.
Even the three of Ayimaimaiti were very energetic tonight and used all their special skills.
They sprinkled all the doors and windows of the house with snowflakes of white salt, and also took out magical objects such as bear paws, sacred drums, and bronze mirrors blessed by the shaman.
Although these shamanic magic weapons are not too powerful, they win with more numbers.
It was in this depressing atmosphere that the strange noises in the night became louder and louder. After hearing it, Jin An no longer needed to remind everyone, and everyone recognized it. It was actually the sound of many monks chanting sutras.
The monk's chanting became louder and louder, and finally it became the same frequency, resonance, and continued to circulate in the Great Rift Valley for a long time. However, this sutra was not compassionate at all. Instead, it sounded like a life-threatening Sanskrit chant.
Very evil.
“These chanting sounds seem to be coming from the stone Buddha statues on the cliff next to us?” Aheqi exclaimed.
Jin An raised his finger and made a silent gesture.
Aheqi quickly shut up.
The chanting outside became louder and louder, and it felt like my mind was filled with life-threatening Sanskrit chants. In the dark room, Jin An silently fought against the life-threatening Sanskrit chants invisible in the night sky.
The qi and blood in his body are hot.
Running like red magma.
Continuously transport Qi and blood to resist the deepening Yin Qi from the outside world and the sound of Sanskrit chants.
Poof!
Poof!
Later, Jin An was forced out even with two Yanghuo on his shoulders!
The human-faced phoenix that Aheqi carried with him was struggling desperately in the sack, trying to stay away from Jin'an. It felt as if it was sticking to the stove, and its feathers were almost burned by the fire.
.
Had it not been a critical night and its mouth had been blocked in advance, it would probably have cried out in terror and turned black into gray.
Just when the silent duel in the darkness was about to reach its peak, suddenly, boom!
Thunder pierced the sky, and a huge lightning exploded in the dark night, branching out into terrifying and thick thunder snakes, and even the entire Great Rift Valley trembled.
This thunder suppressed the Sanskrit chant calling for life.
Suppressed the abnormal noise of the iron chain.
Suppressed the strange gnawing sounds.
All the terrible sounds hidden in the dark night disappeared after a thunder, and calmness returned again.
Under the mighty power of heaven.
The world returns to peace.
At least it looks calm on the surface.
Just at this time, it rained heavily in the sky. Jin An was surprised. This desert basin has been dry and rainless all year round. The sky above is so clear that not even a rain cloud can be seen. Where can the rain come from?
Hearing the pounding sound of heavy rain outside, the three people of Ayimaimaiti were all shocked: "Is this praying for rain?"
But the rain came in time and dissipated quickly.
It was less than half a cup of tea when the heavy rain stopped.
This time, even Jin An couldn't understand. Is it really a rain-praying technique? The whole country can move rain clouds from thousands of miles away to rain? The Sanskrit chanting hasn't even ended yet, and it's already raining so heavily.
, if the stone Buddha statues outside are allowed to finish reciting the sutras, then there will be a flood that overflows the entire Buddhist kingdom?
Jin An originally thought that he would encounter danger on his first night in the Buddhist Kingdom, but after a thunderstorm, the rest of the night was calm, and nothing strange appeared until dawn.
It’s Ah Heqi’s bird, which was tortured by Jin An last night and was on the verge of death.
At dawn, Jin An first went to check the stone Buddha statues, and Mr. Yiyun also followed. However, the surface of these Buddha statues was normal, they were just ordinary-looking rocks.
Jin An couldn't help but think about the experience of the baby mummy yesterday. Could the problem occur in the body of the Buddha statues? But those Buddha statues were too huge. Although the Kunwu knife in his hand was sharp, it was too slow to cut, and there was a risk of backlash.
.
In the end, he spent a lot of time punching and punching several potholes of different sizes on the Buddha statue, but he still found nothing new.
Maybe it's because he didn't smash it thoroughly enough, and he couldn't find the clues until it was completely smashed.
Or else there is nothing wrong with these Buddha statues. Maybe those weird Sanskrit singing sounds are coming from somewhere else.
You can’t be sure where the Sanskrit sounds come from unless you listen to it again!
Since they could not find any new clues, they had already spent a lot of time at the same place and were ready to set off again.
This time the five people discussed it and decided to speed up their journey today. They would not go in to search the Buddhist temples and buildings along the way. They did not find any important clues after searching all day yesterday and it is estimated that there will be no new discoveries in the future.
It is better to put all your energy on the road and find out where the end of this Buddhist kingdom leads to, and whether it really leads to the kingdom of the immortal gods. It is also better to leave this kingdom of ghosts and Buddhas that is not peaceful even after death!
