Chapter 135 High monks and famous monks!
"Is there such a thing?"
At this time, Mr. Gu Yue also felt very strange. He took the Qinan agarwood bead string in Xiong Mao's hands, then carefully studied it, and slowly combed the bead aura. After watching for a while, his movements stopped and suddenly said: "The line is new. Has this bead string been broken recently?"
"The layman is right." Luo Shui was surprised that Mr. Gu Yue was keen to observe and nodded quickly, "A few days ago, due to an accident, the bracelet thread was torn off and the beads fell all over the ground. So when Master Xiong mentioned the cracks just now, I wondered if it was because of the fall that some beads were shattered."
"I said why the aura is unstable." Xiong Mo said suddenly: "It turns out that after the beads are broken and dispersed, even if the beads are reconnected with new lines, the order of the beads must have changed, and the auras still need to be re-running. No wonder they are a bit unstable."
"Well, it should be the reason." Mr. Gu Yue agreed: "If you want to speed up the running-in progress, it is best to ask a monk to help you with blessings. I believe that the beads will soon return to normal."
"So that's it." Luo Shui was relieved and hurriedly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you for your advice."
At the same time, Bao Longtu asked curiously: "How should we bless you and consecrate you?"
"No, no, consecration is consecration, blessing is blessing, and we must never be confused."
Xiong Mao explained with a smile: "Consecration is to turn objects without aura into magic weapons, but blessing is to condense or enhance or expand the aura of magic weapons through some means."
At this time, it was Luo Shui's turn to be curious: "Can the aura of the magic weapon also improve?"
"Of course." Xiong Mao nodded and said, "For example, not long ago, Master Fang ignited a small jade gourd, which made the small gourd generate aura and constantly gather energy. It is expected that in a few years, the grade of the small gourd can be mentioned."
"Hehe, that's this thing." Bao Longtu touched his neck and immediately hooked a red rope, and buckled a small gourd as white as jade in the middle of the red rope.
"That's right, it's this Yin-Yang Bagua gourd." Xiong Mao smiled and said, "Brother Bao, after you wear this gourd, have you slept very peacefully at night, and you feel refreshed when you wake up the next day?"
"It should be like this." Bao Longtu thought for a while and admitted: "It seems that he will no longer have insomnia."
"It means that the newly generated aura has been very stable." Xiong Mao said: "It is best not to leave the body in normal times, because after being cultivated for a long time, there will be a certain inertia. Once this inertia is destroyed, it will be like the aura of this bead string, and there will be unstable situations."
"Oh, I understand." Bao Longtu heard this and quickly put the small jade gourd in his arms and stopped showing off.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luo Shui hurriedly asked: "Master Xiong, I don't know how to bless the beads to restore normal aura?"
"It's very simple. Just ask a monk to count beads when chanting the scriptures." Xiong Mao explained: "This kind of bead-shaped magic weapon is itself a kind of Buddhist magic weapon. It can be called rosary beads, counting beads, mantra beads, Buddhist beads, reciting beads, etc. Anyway, it is used by monks to count when chanting the scriptures."
"If you want to bless the bead string magic weapon, then let it return to its original source and give it to the monk for a few days. The bead string is baptized by the sound of the scriptures, and its aura will naturally stabilize in the number of plates." Xiong Mao smiled and said, "You will understand if you think about it carefully. Ordinary wooden fish and rosary beads that do not have any aura, after being used by the monk for decades, they will produce a strong aura, not to mention that such a small problem will definitely be solved in three or five days."
"Of course, the premise is that the monk is focused on his heart, not perfunctory." Gu Yue said indifferently: "Some monks today may just be famous monks, but may not be high-ranking monks. If they hand over the beads in question to them, they may not be able to solve them."
"Is there any difference between a famous monk and a high monk?" Bao Longtu was a little puzzled.
"A famous monk is just a famous monk. He may not be a high monk, and a high monk may not be a famous monk." Fang Yuan smiled and said, "You can tell if you look at the current abbot of Shaolin Temple. He will push Shaolin Temple to glory with one hand. Such ability should be comparable to the CEO of the top ten major companies in the world. The question is, how many people admit that he is a successful monk?"
"Well, Shaolin abbot Master Yongxin has always been a controversial figure, and he has mixed praise and criticism." Bao Longtu thought for a while and smiled, "And it seems that it has been ruined more and rewarding less. Anyway, in my impression, most of it is negative news."
"It's normal." Xiong Mao chuckled: "Some people think that he, a monk, does not recite scriptures and Buddha, but is dedicated to pursuing the monks, which is not in line with everyone's understanding of monks. Of course, he does not deny that there are some jealousy in it..."
"Yes." Bao Longtu agreed: "There are many people in this world who just can't stand others' goodness. When they see others succeed, they will be sour and discredited."
"You seem to feel very touched." Fang Yuan said with a smile: "It seems that you have succeeded in success."
"Damn, don't look down on people." Bao Longtu snorted: "I remember that I was also a popular figure in school back then, and I have heard a lot of rumors about envy, jealousy and hatred..."
"I really can't see it." Fang Yuan laughed and immediately changed the topic: "Stately, the so-called "The second master is not responsible for one thing. I believe you should know some eminent monks, such as Master Lianshan, etc. When helping him solve the problem of beaded aura, he would also help me consecrate this Buddha statue."
"You really know how to get into trouble." Mr. Gu Yue stroked his beard and smiled: "It's just consecrated, it shouldn't be a difficult task for the master."
"Different." Fang Yuan shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm rude. After all, this is a Buddha statue. If the monk consecrates it, it will definitely make the aura of the Buddha statue more in line with its own characteristics."
"That's right." Mr. Gu Yue nodded and then called out: "Since that's the case, then let's go."
"Go?" Fang Yuan was stunned: "Where to go?"
"Kaiyuan Temple." Gu Yue smiled and said, "It's better to hit the day than choose a day. Didn't you say you want to see Lianshan? I guess he also wants to know you, a rising star, a young Feng Shui master."
"Really." Xiong Mao's eyes lit up: "Mr., don't mind I'll join in the fun."
"Buddhist temple is a pure place, and it's not good to be too lively..."
This means polite rejection. In Xiong Mao's disappointed expression, Gu Yue's layman changed his words: "Of course, if you sincerely worship the Buddha, then there will be no problem."
"Hehe, when I went to the monk temple, I must be dedicated to worshiping the Buddha." Xiong Mao immediately smiled and said, "For example, when I went to your Taoist temple, I am an extremely devout believer in the Three Pure Land."
I worship any mountain when I go, and I worship any temple. Whoever blesses me to get promoted and get rich, and I will worship anyone. Such a utilitarian mind is basically the true situation of Chinese people in their religious beliefs.
"Shalai." Gu Yue laughed at it and waved, "One is to rush, the other is to let go, all of them should follow."
At the greeting of Gu Yue, the others were happy to accompany him. On the way, Luo Shui quietly pulled Bao Longtu's sleeve and whispered: "Who is that Master Lianshan?"
"It is said that he is a great master who studies Buddhist principles carefully." Bao Longtu whispered: "Anyway, I have only heard of it, and I have never really seen it before. However, he rarely appears in public, but he only opens the halls to preach from time to time, and is very respected by believers."
"Oh." Luo Shui nodded and said softly: "It's so low-key."
"It's only because of low profile that you have the meaning."
While the two were whispering, the group soon arrived at Kaiyuan Temple. After all, Fengshui Street is not far from Kaiyuan Temple. It takes only seven or eight minutes to take a bus and arrive at the destination in a short while.
Fang Yuan is not unfamiliar with Kaiyuan Temple. After all, this temple is one of the three major jungles in Quanzhou and is a relatively high-ranking tourist attraction. Therefore, whether it is burning incense and worshiping Buddha or simply visiting the scenery, you can come here to visit.
Speaking of which, unlike other famous mountain temples, Kaiyuan Temple is built in the city. Before entering the temple gate, you can see the east and west double pagodas standing in the temple from afar.
Not long after, the group entered Kaiyuan Temple. Except for Luoshui, the others were familiar with each other and went directly to the pavilion and the Heavenly King Hall, and then slowly came to the front of the Main Hall.
The Grand Palace is also called Ziyun Hall. Legend has it that when the hall was built, there was Ziyun covering the ground, so it was called this. However, the name is not the point. The point is that a huge plaque hangs above the hall, with four big characters from the Sanglian Dharma Realm written on it.
This is also an allusion. It is said that a rich man dreamed of a monk recruiting a temple from him. He said that after the mulberry tree bloomed with white lotus, he would offer it to the ground to make a relationship. A few days later, the mulberry trees in the garden really bloomed with white lotus. The rich man was deeply moved by the boundless Buddhist teachings and indeed donated this mulberry garden to build a temple.
This temple is the predecessor of Kaiyuan Temple. According to legend, the mulberry tree with white lotus flowers is the thousand-year-old mulberry tree next to the hall. The old mulberry tree did not die after being struck by lightning. After the trunk was divided into three, it still lived well, which was indeed a bit magical.
When passing by the old mulberry tree, Gu Yue suddenly turned around and smiled, "To be honest, the legend of mulberry blooming white lotus is widely circulated, but few people should know the legend of peach blooming red lotus in the temple, right?"
"The peach blossoms and red lotus?" Fang Yuan said in surprise: "Is this happening?"
"I really haven't heard of it." Xiong Mao was also a little confused.
"That was the end of the Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China." Gu Yue layman stroked his beard and smiled: "At that time, due to the military disaster and the fire, Kaiyuan Temple was inevitably defeated. After knowing this, Master Yuanying, a generation of monk, sighed deeply and decided to persuade him to donate money to restore Kaiyuan Temple. After some hard work, Master Yuanying, with the help of his believers, also raised enough funds to officially start construction."
"It is said that after three days of work, the peach blossoms bloomed with red lotus to respond to auspicious signs. Everyone who watches the spring is different."
