Chapter 579: Damn, pay back the money(1/2)
After discovering the place where the stone Buddha was playing tricks, Zhu Han's students unceremoniously raised their picks and hoes and started digging in the dirt next to the stone statue.
A jingling sound reached everyone's ears.
The monks at Ci'en Temple all had their teeth cracked.
"Stop! If you treat the Buddha like this, aren't you afraid that the Buddha will punish you?"
"You evil thieves should all go to the eighteenth level of hell."
Abbot Huici of Ci'en Temple closed his eyes tightly, sat cross-legged, and kept reciting the Diamond Sutra. He seemed to have given up resistance completely.
Although the young monks wanted to rush over and stop the sweating students from destroying the Buddha statue.
However, the wolf-like and tiger-like Jinyi guards around them firmly blocked them from the other side.
Although these royal guards did not dare to do anything to the Buddha statues, they were not afraid of these ordinary monks.
In addition to those monks, there were also many devout Buddhists who kept cursing Zhu Han's students.
"You evil thieves who disrespect Buddha will be punished sooner or later."
"Buddha bless! Buddha bless!"
Like the monks, these ordinary believers were also blocked by the Jin Yiwei. Facing the Jin Yiwei's swords and guns, they did not dare to rush over to help.
They could only watch helplessly as Zhu Han's students dug up the soil below.
What surprised Zhu Han's students was that this master seemed to be older than they expected.
It was only about half a meter long, and there were still rocks underneath.
They didn't see what they expected at all.
"Could it be that we guessed wrong?" One person asked worriedly.
"It's absolutely true. Look, there are no carvings below. If it were a real Buddha statue, there should be carvings below."
Another person also explained confidently: "And the further you dig, the heavier the moisture will be. Datong is sweating like this now. If there is not underground water below, it must be because someone watered it a lot."
.”
Fortunately, when Zhu Han was teaching them, he didn't ask them to study every day. They also had to run and do various exercises every day.
Otherwise, it would really take a lot of work to dig this stone Buddha out of the ground.
After digging for a while, one of Zhu Han's students shouted in surprise: "Look! It's empty down here."
Everyone hurriedly looked over and found that there was no soil underneath the Buddha statue.
"Hurry up and dig bigger." After confirming their guess, everyone was refreshed, their waists and legs no longer hurt.
Excitedly, I started digging.
In a short time, a big hole was dug under the Buddha statue.
As the pothole expanded, everyone gradually became able to see clearly what was going on inside.
The bottom of the Buddha statue is not empty, but rows of yellow bean sprouts can be seen.
"You see, I told you before, it must be the bean sprouts." One of Zhu Han's students proudly showed off to his peers.
Someone next to him immediately hit him rudely: "But this is not right. Although the bean sprouts can generate a lot of force when they sprout, it is impossible to lift such a heavy stone Buddha to such a height, right? No matter what, The power of plants is limited after all.”
Someone soon answered his question. Shen Longliang tapped the stone Buddha with the iron pickaxe in his hand.
"I think this is because this stone Buddha is hollow. They must have taken out all the stones inside, so this stone Buddha is not as big as it looks."
This Buddha statue has been buried underground before, so no one knows how much it weighs.
After discovering that the Buddha statue might be hollow, Zhu Han's students simply dug out the soil around the Buddha statue.
After digging up all the soil, Zhu Han's students also discovered the problem.
This seemingly huge Buddha statue was indeed much lighter than they imagined.
Two or three people worked together to lift the Buddha statue easily.
Then they pulled the Buddha statue out directly from the ground.
After seeing the whole picture of this Buddha statue, everyone was a little dumbfounded.
"Why is this happening?" The monks at Ci'en Temple exclaimed in disbelief.
Even the abbot of Ci'en Temple, Master Huici Fa, no longer looked as aloof as he did just now.
Instead, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. It took him a long time to realize what happened.
He slumped on the ground with a pale face and kept chanting Amitabha.
The believers all seemed to have seen a ghost.
The most important reason why they behave this way is the appearance of this Buddha statue.
Different from all other Buddha statues, this one is about as tall as a person?
Only the upper part looks like a complete Buddha statue, and below the Buddha statue is a rectangular stone pillar.
If any Buddhist temple or anyone wants to make a statue of Buddha, it is absolutely impossible to make it like this.
It can be said that as long as you see this Buddha statue, you will know that the person who created the statue is definitely not a Buddhist.
And since the person who created the statue is not a Buddhist, this Buddha statue appears in a temple.
That thing is very thought-provoking.
After Zhu Han's students dug out the Buddha statue, He Fengyu slowly walked to the side of the Buddha statue.
Pointing to the big hole just dug under the Buddha statue, he said to everyone: "Fellow folks, please see, this is not solid land under the Buddha statue, but someone has planted soybeans under it."
"The reason why the Buddha statue grows every day is just because the growing soybeans push the Buddha statue out of the ground."
"It is auspicious that the Buddha appears in this world, but if all this is done by people with ulterior motives, then it is a different story."
After hearing He Fengyu's explanation, the people present finally reacted.
"It turns out we were all deceived!"
"I thought there was something wrong with the monks at Ci'en Temple before. They might be a group of rebels."
Some people even burst into tears and shouted: "Thank you little god for enlightening me, otherwise we would have been kept in the dark and almost did something we regret."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "These kind-hearted monks must not be spared."
"Kill them thieves!"
In the blink of an eye, the situation reversed, and the monks of Ci'en Temple changed from eminent monks respected by everyone to evil thieves everyone shouted to beat.
After all, these people were just ordinary monks, and the sudden changes made them overwhelmed.
Almost all the saints were pale and huddled together in fear.
Even if they want to break their heads, they still can't figure out why things are like this?
It was clearly an auspicious sign of Buddha appearing in this world, but how could it turn into a conspiracy with ulterior motives in the blink of an eye?
What makes them cry the most is that even if they want to argue, they can't find a place to argue.
This stone Buddha appeared in their Ci'en Temple, and they also regarded the birth of the Buddha as a sign of the prosperity of Buddhism.
Therefore, during this period of time, it can be said that we have been doing our best to publicize this matter.
The result is good now, every word I said in the past has become a knife that is about to be pierced into my body.
All the monks in Ci'en Temple looked helplessly at Abbot Huici.
"Amitabha!" In this desperate situation, Abbot Ci En calmed down.
With the help of several monks around him, he stood up with difficulty.
He recited a Buddhist chant in the direction of He Feng Yu: "Thank you so much, donor."
His face was full of piety.
It's just...as soon as these words came out, the monks in Ci'en Temple were a little confused.
Could it be that the abbot of his family was sealed because he received too much of a blow?
"Abbott, these people destroyed the Buddha statues in our temple, and you actually thanked them."
"These people are simply evil thieves who disrespect Buddha!"
Listening to the monks' accusations, Abbot Huici slowly shook his head: "Don't say any more."
"Now that things have happened, don't you still understand? We are simply being taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives."
"This stone Buddha is not an auspicious sign of the Buddha's arrival at all. It is just used by some people as a stone to achieve their goals."
"If it hadn't been for the gentlemen of the imperial court who helped us see through the true identity of this stone Buddha, we would still have worshiped a fake Buddha as the real Buddha."
"It is we who have been blinded by greed and cannot even distinguish the most basic right from wrong."
"Instead, we chanted sutras and worshiped a fake Buddha... Amitabha!"
Half of what Abbot Huici said was finally transformed into a Buddha's name.
