Because he had the memory of Buddha's light, it was not difficult for Jin An to find the cave where the young novice was pushed down.
It was a dark and damp cave, with no other green vegetation except some moss that liked the dark atmosphere.
The caves are connected in circles, like a maze. If an outsider does not know the route in advance, it is easy for outsiders to get lost.
Jin An and Mr. Yiyun held torches in their hands and walked in the damp cave. Neither of them spoke a word along the way, as if they couldn't bear to disturb the sleeping soul of the dead.
Only the crisp footsteps sounded in this quiet cave, and the footsteps could be clearly heard far away in this empty cave.
It's dark here.
airtight.
Dead silence.
Loneliness.
Cold.
It's like the despair and helplessness swallowed by the black water of the deep sea.
If a person with cabin fever had fallen into this cave, he would have fainted in despair. It is unimaginable how big the eight-year-old novice monk who just wanted someone to play with him, suffered from eye disease, poor vision, and a little low self-esteem, must have been.
How much courage, how much trust do you have in people, to follow the group of neighbor children into the cave to save people?
That kind of despair of not being able to see anything must be very scary inside.
At that time, he just wanted to save people.
He just wants someone to play with him.
However, when he turned around and handed his trusting back to his partner behind him, he was ruthlessly pushed down into the abyss by the hands from behind. He huddled in the darkness and cried, experiencing despair. He waited for a day and a day, but no one came to pull him.
Give him a handful.
Why does everyone hate him?
What did he do wrong?
This is a cannibalistic hell, where human nature is inferior to that of animals. Even eminent monks like Master Ban Dian were eaten alive by fire, not to mention an eight-year-old novice monk who would find it even more difficult to escape intact.
Why.
Jin An, who was walking in front with a torch in his hand, suddenly disappeared on the spot. Master Yiyun stared calmly at an extra vertical cave in front of him. They found the young novice Wutuke.
The light of the torch illuminated the dark and narrow cave. The little monk's robes were covered with a thick layer of dust. He curled up and died in fear and hunger, in panic and despair. Perhaps it was due to the heavy Yin Qi under the Great Rift Valley.
Due to the relationship, the body of the little novice monk did not rot, but starved into a small black mummy.
With a sigh, Jin An took out the prepared piece of cloth from his arms, carefully covered the body of the little novice monk, then held the body of the little novice monk in his arms and jumped out of the hole with a few kicks.
Young Master Yiyun glanced at the object wrapped in cloth that Jin An carefully held in his arms: "Have you found the little novice Wutuke?"
Jin An: "Yeah."
Mr. Yiyun nodded: "Then we will send him home to reunite with Master Ban Dian. We have been out for a while, and Ayimaimaiti's side should be almost ready."
The two of them didn't waste any time and went straight to the Buddhist hall after leaving the cave.
At this time, on the plank road outside the Buddhist hall, many corpses were laid out in rows. Those bones were nourished by the Yin Qi of the Great Rift Valley all year round, and they were still not rotten even after thousands of years had passed.
There are dozens of these bones, some large and some small.
When Jin'an and Mr. Yiyun returned to the Buddhist hall, they happened to meet the three people of Ayimaimaiti who had returned to the Buddhist hall carrying several corpses from other places.
"Is everything going well, Taoist Master Jin'an?" Ayimaimaiti and the other three asked impatiently with concern.
When they knew that what Jin An was holding was the body of the little novice monk, the three of them looked at the little novice monk pitifully, and then got out of the way, allowing Jin An to take the little novice monk Utuke back to the Buddhist hall first. Four people in the Buddhist hall were killed that year.
There were quite a lot of murderers, and they had to make another trip to bring back all the murderer's bones to avenge the little novice monk.
If Mr. Yiyun hadn't sent Painted Skin to follow those brats last night, it would have been difficult to find the corpses of so many murderers. Mr. Yiyun was the one who contributed the most this time.
Jin An returned to the main hall of the Buddhist temple and carefully arranged the four corpses. They were the four corpses of Pan Dian Lama, the young novice monk Utuke, Ngawang Rinci, and Garu.
He made a bow to the incomplete clay Buddha statue, then sat down cross-legged and recited for the four of them, "The Mysterious Sutra of the Xuan Ling Bao Tian Zun in Taishang Cave to Save Suffering and Eradicate Sins."
In the middle of the journey, Ai Maimaiti and the other three people had returned from carrying all the bones, but they stood aside solemnly and did not disturb the four masters of the Jin'an Chaodu Pandian.
After Jin An stood up after reading the sutra, Ayimaimaiti said: "Taoist Master Jin An, the three of us have prepared stretchers for Master Ban Dian and others. We can set out at any time to take Master Ban Dian and others out of this hell of false mercy.
"
Unexpectedly, Jin An shook his head and said: "I plan to erect clay Buddha statues for the four masters, Ban Dian, repair and renovate the temple, and continue to let the four masters, Ban Dian, fulfill their original intention of coming to the Buddhist country to save evil people. This is Ban Dian.
Master Dian and the young novice monk have always adhered to their original intention of not losing their way. As long as the great road is not alone, the right path will not be alone, and my path will not be alone!"
Faced with the surprised expressions of several people, Jin An continued to express his thoughts: "This Buddhist hall was built by Master Ban Dian and Wutuk personally, stone by beam. Although this Buddhist hall is small and boring, and although the life is poor, it is
To find joy in suffering, there is a Buddhist hall, a meditation sandalwood stick, and a statue of Amitabha Buddha. In front of the statue, there is an old monk preaching, and a young novice monk listens attentively. No matter how violent the storm is outside, I keep my spiritual platform quiet, as long as there is Buddha.
The hall is their shelter from wind and rain. Master Pandian has been waiting for Utuk to come home for dinner, and Wutuk wants to return to Master Pandian most."
"This Buddhist hall is the only place in the Buddhist country where the Buddha's nature still exists. The Buddha did not give up on Pandian Guru and the young novice monks. Pandian Guru did not give up his original intention of going to hell to save people. What right do we have to guide Pandian Guru?
Abandoning the Buddhist hall? After leaving the Buddhist hall, where is the home of Pan Dian Lama and the young novice monk? Since this Buddhist hall can become the only place with Buddha nature in the Buddhist country, it has its own reason."
After listening to Jin An's words, everyone felt that it made sense. Dao is not alone. If there are like-minded people who work together to save the world, so what if we are trapped in hell? The biggest fear of Dao is not that the road ahead is full of thorns and darkness, but that one person's persistence can not see the end of the world.
to fellow travelers.
Jin An said that he would not only help the little novice monk to avenge himself and fulfill his obsession, but also help him make up for his regrets.
The young novice monk's obsession is to return to the Buddhist hall and continue to accompany Pandian Master.
The regret of the young novice is the regret of the Pan Dian master. They sacrificed their lives to enter hell but were unable to save the evildoers.
Next, Jin An began to renovate the Buddhist hall and repair the incomplete Buddha statues. In order to provide sufficient lighting for the Buddhist hall, he also cleaned up all the Yin-loving strains nearby and restored the peaceful atmosphere of the Buddhist hall.
At the same time, he also erected two clay-embodied dharma bodies next to the Buddha statue. The old monk smiled kindly and kindly, and the young monk smiled shyly and innocently. They greeted everyone who entered the door with their hands clasped in a friendly manner. They looked exactly the same as before them, lifelike.
There are also two clay-embodied Dharmakayas standing on the left and right sides of the Buddhist hall, namely Ngawang Tsering and Garu. They are also part of the Buddhist hall, and the Buddhist hall is also their home.
The corpses of Master Pandian were burnt into ashes in Jinan, and then the ashes were buried in these clay-embodied Dharmakayas. It is hoped that these clay-embodied Dharmakayas can one day achieve the golden body of immeasurable merits of great mercy and compassion.
This time, it was Mr. Yiyun who put in a lot of effort. Only with Mr. Yiyun's skill in painting could the Buddha statue and the clay body be sculpted so smoothly, with the facial features and expressions painted so lifelike.
The Yin Qi in the Great Rift Valley was very cold, and these corpses were nourished by the Yin Qi and became bones that would not change for thousands of years. Jin An originally thought that it would be very difficult for him to cremate the corpses, but he did not expect that the process was very smooth.
Even the mummy of a young novice monk can be easily cremated.
This fever showed that the little novice monk had let go of his resentment and was happy to be able to return to the Master again and listen to the Master explain the meaning of the sutra.
If someone has a grudge, it is difficult to completely burn the body with ordinary torches.
This burning shows that the words Jin An said in the Buddhist hall have reached people's hearts secretly, and even those who have not turned into bones for thousands of years have given up their obsession.
The cremation went so smoothly. Naturally, Aiyimaimaiti and the others were amazed and wondered if it was Taoist Jin An's previous words that had an effect? ​​Or was it Taoist Jin An's "Tai Shang Cave Xuan Ling Bao Tianzun's Speech on Saving Suffering and Eradicating Sin"
"The Wonderful Sutra" Successfully Transcends the Souls of the Dead?
No matter what, the cremation went smoothly, and so did the clay body.
As for the people who participated in the massacre of the Buddhist temple, Jin An did not intend to let these people go so easily. Since they committed heinous crimes in front of the Buddha, let them kneel in front of the Buddha forever and repent. The courtyard of the Buddhist temple is full of people.
Full of kneeling statues, each kneeling statue has a corpse sealed inside, and each kneeling statue has a solid stone lock hung around its neck. The sins of these people are written on these heavy stone locks.
If we just dig up the graves of these people, crush their bones and scatter their ashes, it would be too easy for them. How could Jin'an let these people die so happily? Jin'an would let these beasts, inferior to pigs and dogs, pay homage to the Buddhist temple.
The master, the young novice monk Utuk, Ngawang Tsering, and Galu knelt down to atone for their sins. If they didn’t kneel down for thousands or thousands of years, how could they offset the sins they had committed.
Since you killed people in front of the Buddha and desecrated the peace of the Buddhist hall, let you face the Buddha's anger and spend your lifetimes to atone for your sins.
There are fifty-one kneeling figures full of sins in the Buddhist hall, which is so spectacular that Jin'an even expanded the Buddhist hall to accommodate so many kneeling statues.
If someone passes by the Buddhist temple, they will definitely be shocked by the scene in front of them. It is so spectacular.
As the sun sets and the moon rises, Jin An successfully fulfills all his promises, avenges the little novice monk within one day, fulfills his obsession, and makes up for his regrets. On this night, the underworld of the Buddhist kingdom is still precarious, but the light in the Buddhist hall is no longer bright.
Eerie.
good.
At dawn the next day, the group set out on the road again.
Logically speaking, the deeper you go into the Buddhist Kingdom, the more strange things you will encounter and the more difficult things will be. But the rest of the journey was uneventful, and Jin An and the others arrived at the end of the Buddhist Kingdom surprisingly smoothly.
An old proverb: "If people are kind, although good fortune has not yet arrived, misfortune has been far away."
