"What can we do?" Everyone asked in unison. Xiao Zhonghua and others had always been very calm, but after hearing Gu Fengchun's words, they became less calm. No one can guarantee that they will not have random thoughts.
For a moment, what if someone loses control and comes up with one or two giant Tyrannosaurus rex? Then everyone will be done with it. Anyway, the situation at the moment is just treating a dead horse as a living horse. If the method works, then
The best thing to do is to take a step back and say that the method has failed. Then it is already like this. No matter how bad the situation is, it can only be like this, right?
Chen Si pondered for a moment and said bravely: "It's a Buddhist scripture." This method was just an idea that suddenly popped up in his mind. He didn't know if it would really be effective. According to Buddhist teachings, it is said
Everything in the world is all false. Buddhism teaches people to get out of the illusion of thoughts, thoughts, actions, and knowledge, and get out of the way and become a Buddha. So Chen Si thought of this. In the previous grotto, Chen Si had experienced the power of Buddhist scriptures.
, according to the method recorded in the inscriptions in the grotto, Luo Xiaodan opened the door of the grotto. That move left a deep impression on Chen Si.
Everyone was stunned. But Chen Si continued, and he vaguely felt that his idea made sense. The reason was very simple. Luo Xiaodan had the pupil of delusion. This pupil of delusion was also recorded in the Buddhist scriptures, and it could distinguish all good and evil in the world.
True and false, true and false Buddha's eyes. In the records on the Eight Wonders Picture, there are things related to Buddhism. It is not unusual. So Chen Si has reason to believe that this Buddhist scripture may really be able to do it.
Pass.
However, Chen Si was in trouble. Although he was knowledgeable, he also had a rough study of Buddhist scriptures. If he were to suddenly find a complete and effective Buddhist scripture, he could not do it. He cast his eyes at Mammoth standing behind and said: "
Have you studied Buddhism? Can you recite one or two Buddhist scriptures?" Chen Si thought, anyway, Buddhism was introduced from India. Although Buddhism is not very popular in India now, there are still many people who believe in Buddhism.
There are still some, right? It's just that Chen Si went to the doctor for a sudden illness. He never thought that Mammoth is just an Indian. He can communicate with everyone in simple Chinese. It's already good. Even if he understands Buddhist scriptures, he can't translate them and teach them to everyone, right?
If he can't translate it, it's impossible for him to teach everyone to recite Buddhist scriptures in English or Indian dialect, right?
Mammoth looked embarrassed and said quickly: "I don't understand, I..." He wanted to say that he believed in Jesus, but he was afraid of being despised by everyone, so he hurriedly swallowed his words back. Chen Si also had a look on his face.
Embarrassing. I have thought of a solution, but right in front of me is the embarrassing scene of knowing the patient’s condition and prescribing a medicine, but there is no cure.
Gu Fengchun smiled indifferently. He also felt that this method might be feasible. Buddhist scriptures have the effect of calming the consciousness. Even if it cannot break the illusion in front of them, it can also have the effect of calming everyone's minds. That is better than letting everyone have random thoughts.
Gu Fengchun said to Chen Si: "As for the Buddhist scriptures, I still remember a few volumes, but I don't know which one I want?"
Chen Si was overjoyed and thought to himself: "How could I have forgotten this guy?" Gu Fengchun was also a learned and talented person, but he had one thing that made Chen Si feel inferior to him, and that was his photographic memory. Of course, too much
I believe that Gu Fengchun may not be able to recite long things after reading them a few times, but for some short and catchy sentences, he really doesn’t need to read them a second time.
"What Buddhist scriptures do you know?" Chen Si asked.
"There is the Heart Sutra, the Diamond Sutra, the Shurangama Sutra..." Gu Fengchun counted them one by one with his fingers.
"Okay, okay, let's take the Heart Sutra." Chen Si made his choice without having to weigh it. Although he was not like Gu Fengchun who knew the Buddhist classics by heart, everyone knew that Chen Si knew what Gu Fengchun said.
Several Buddhist sutras play an extremely important role in Buddhism. Needless to say, the Heart Sutra is only 260 words long, but it condenses all the essence of Buddhist teachings. For thousands of years, countless Buddhist masters have
They all highly praise it, but the Diamond Sutra is the most important Buddhist scripture. The ancients have made the best evaluation of the Surangama Sutra: "Since I first read the Surangama Sutra, I will not look at the dregs of the world."
Book!"
The reason why Chen Si chose the "Heart Sutra" also has Chen Si's reason, because the Heart Sutra is very short, only 260 words, and catchy, unlike other "Diamond Sutra" and "Surangama Sutra" with a large number of words.
The "Diamond Sutra" alone has almost 6,000 words, and it also contains some obscure and very long sentences. It takes a long time to learn it by heart. And many classic sentences in the Heart Sutra such as "empty has no different colors,
Sentences such as "Color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is color, color is emptiness", even Xiao Zhonghua's group of Qiu Ba can easily learn a few sentences while watching TV series.
Gu Fengchun nodded and said: "Okay, everyone, let's learn from me. Listen up." Gu Fengchun cleared his throat and recited in a high and steady tone: "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. You have been practicing the deep Prajnaparamita for a long time...
"(245 words are omitted here), and everyone quickly followed the reading attentively. After Gu Fengchun recited it three or four times, everyone had basically finished learning the Heart Sutra he taught. However, when everyone was reciting the "Heart Sutra",
I didn't notice that the figures carved on the handrail gradually became clearer, and the lotus flowers became even more delicate and beautiful...
…
After teaching everyone to recite the Heart Sutra, everyone immediately started chanting the words and followed Chen Si down the stairs. Chen Si felt it was a bit funny, but he suddenly thought: "Is it because Phagpa was proficient in Buddhist classics back then?"
, why it was not damaged in this place?" After thinking about it, he felt that this possibility was very high. Otherwise, Kublai Khan would not have paid such high praise to Phagpa Sipa, a Buddhist master, and given him such a high status.
When Chen Si thought of this, he felt relieved. If this Buddhist scripture was valid, then they would save a lot of trouble on this trip. They walked along the stairway for about half an hour, and nothing unusual happened along the way. Everyone
They all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, after walking for so long, everyone did not encounter anything else except the endless staircase. After walking for almost five minutes, suddenly there was a "rustling" sound above their heads. Everyone couldn't bear it.
He raised his head and looked up.
I saw that the back of the spiral staircase above my head was densely covered with insects. The insects were beige in color and were squirming. Everyone's scalps were numb when they saw it.
…Aren’t these things the same “termites” that were chasing them all the way through the misty forest?
