Chapter 1138 Ruined temple, Bodhi tree, headless Buddha statue.
The ancient temple is filled with divine brilliance and surrounded by divine light, which is very extraordinary.
It's a bit strange that such an ancient temple appears in such a vast desert.
"Where was the Tianjiao battlefield in the past?" Lin Feng said to himself.
"This small world is very mysterious. It is said that the Eight Heroes of the Middle Ages found it in a secret place and created it for a giant god in the past." Guan Guan knew something about this and told him everything he knew.
Lin Feng.
"The Eight Heroes of the Middle Ages were very mysterious in themselves. They left suddenly and disappeared without a trace. Now, this temple appearing in the desert is really too weird," said Lin Feng.
Originally, he and Guan Guan were very excited when they heard the bell, but now they both calmed down.
Because everything I saw in front of me was indeed a bit strange.
"The dilapidated ancient temple is worth a visit," Guanguan said.
Lin Feng nodded, and he and Guan Guan walked towards the ancient temple.
If you leave like this, you will leave regrets.
The bell had disappeared, and until Lin Feng and Guan Guan arrived in front of the ancient temple, the bell never rang again.
When we arrived at the ancient temple, we realized how dilapidated it was.
Many places were covered with green moss, and the walls had dense cracks, as if they were about to collapse at any time.
The gate of the temple has become rotten and exudes a rotten smell.
Lin Feng pushed open the courtyard door, and he and Guan Guan entered the temple.
The courtyard is very simple. There is a huge furnace cauldron, which is obviously used for burning incense. However, it has not been used for too long, and the furnace cauldron has developed patina.
The furnace tripod was very ordinary, not a treasure. Lin Feng never looked at it more.
"Ancient tree...".
Guan Guan looked at an ancient tree in the courtyard in surprise. Now this ancient tree had withered. It was about three meters tall and as thick as the mouth of a bowl.
The tree trunk is curved, giving it a strong feeling, just like the body of a horned dragon, and the open bark is like dragon scales.
There were more than a dozen fruits hanging on the ancient tree. Lin Feng and Guan Guan came to the ancient tree. He picked off a fruit, but with a slight force, the fruit broke into pieces and had long since rotted.
"Time is too long, enough to make many things rot," Lin Feng said.
But soon, Lin Feng discovered something was wrong.
Because this ancient tree has been dead for so many years and is still vigorous, but it has no intention of decaying.
"This tree is not simple." Lin Feng frowned.
"Could it be...the Bodhi tree?" Guan Guan said uncertainly.
Lin Feng was surprised. If it were a Bodhi tree, it would be too amazing.
Buddhism has such records.
Five-colored stems grow from the Buddha's soil. One flower represents the world, and one leaf represents the Tathagata.
The Sixth Patriarch said: There is no Bodhi tree, and the Bodhi tree is a method of expedient method. One bodhi leaf is the other tree.
In fact, this passage is very easy to understand in layman's terms. It means that the bodhi tree is a sacred tree in Buddhism.
When bodhi blossoms, a bodhi flower can turn into a world, and a bodhi leaf can reveal the future destiny.
But unfortunately, the bodhi tree in front of them has withered, has no flowers, and no leaves. Of course, Lin Feng and Guan Guan are still not sure whether it is really a bodhi tree.
"Buddhism rarely plants other vegetation in temples, but only loves bodhi trees. This has an allusion. In Buddhist legends, there are three Buddhas in the past, present and future, and these three Buddhas are
Respect the present Buddha as your honor."
Guan Guan talked about some rumors about Buddhism.
In the past, Buddha was revered as "Landeng"!
Now the Buddha is called "Sakyamuni"!
The future Buddha is called "Maitreya"!
…
It is said that the current Buddha Sakyamuni attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, and since then he has attained enlightenment, created an immortal golden body, and became the head of all Buddhas.
Since then, Buddhism has revered the bodhi tree as a "holy tree".
Of course, Bodhi trees are very rare.
It is 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 after another.
I crushed seven fruits in a row, but nothing happened to the eighth fruit.
"Hey, this fruit is not simple..." Lin Feng was surprised. He carefully observed the eighth fruit. This fruit was about ten centimeters long, oval, dark brown, and not very good looking.
"Is this the mark of the Buddha?" Lin Feng was surprised.
He saw something astonishing. There was a Buddha vaguely imprinted on the fruit. Lin Feng didn't know if it was really a Buddha.
But they are indeed very similar.
He asked Guan Guan to take a look, and Guan Guan was also very surprised. She said, "There is a saying that appearance comes from the heart. It is said that the bodhi tree has a spirit. If you listen to the Buddha's teachings every day, the bodhi seeds produced will appear like the Buddha."
From this, it seems that this is indeed a dead bodhi tree, and what you are holding in your hand is exactly a bodhi tree. This is a sacred object of Buddhism, which can expel evil spirits, nourish the soul, and also restore the soul.
It can help monks realize the Tao."
The value of a sacred object like the Bodhi Seed is unimaginable. If this is the Bodhi Seed as Guan Guan said, its value would be astonishing.
Lin Feng checked the rest of the fruits and found another similar fruit that had not been destroyed by time.
Lin Feng handed the second fruit to Guan Guan.
The two of them walked towards the temple. The temple was completely ruined, and even the Buddha statues had collapsed. What made Lin Feng feel strange was that the collapsed Buddha statues in the temple had no heads.
"Why is the head missing? It's really weird. Could it be that it was taken away?" 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 you will know"!
Lin Feng and Guan Guan searched in the temple, but they couldn't find anything.
"The lonely temple stands in the desert, and the Buddha statue has lost its head. Does this indicate something?" Lin Feng murmured.
He vaguely felt that something was not right, but he could not tell what was wrong.
"This temple does have some evil practices," Guanguan said.
"It's not appropriate 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 Guan Guan arrived outside, their expressions changed drastically.
I saw that the sky had completely darkened.
in all directions.
Black mist rolled.
Endless black fog.
A scene coming from a distance, as if the end is coming.
In the darkness, it seemed that an ancient evil demon was resurrecting.
Lin Feng and Guan Guan felt their souls trembling.
Endless darkness shrouded in, trying to swallow up this small, dilapidated temple.
