An old monk wearing white socks, blue shoes, and a monk's robe slowly walked over. The old monk's face was like an old bodhi tree, full of wrinkles, and his two snow-white eyebrows drooped on his skinny cheeks.
.
"Amitabha," the old monk clasped his hands together and proclaimed the Buddha's name. His two long, snow-white eyebrows were trembling constantly, and the wrinkles on his forehead were also piled up. "My little fellow Taoist, I'm disturbing your enjoyment."
Hearing what the old monk said, Ye Feng was greatly surprised. Although he was not a Taoist, his master was a wandering Taoist, and the martial arts passed on to him were all Taoist Kungfu. Ye Feng looked at it with some confusion.
The old monk in front of him lowered his eyes and did not look at Ye Feng.
"Life is also the beginning of death, and death is also the beginning of life. Master Ye Feng admires his sharp Dharma eyes." Ye Feng looked at the kind-faced old monk in front of him, with boundless respect in his heart, and nodded to the old monk respectfully and said.
"Buddhism and Taoism are one family, and fellow Taoists do not need to be modest. The old monk's name is Huiyuan. Just now, the donor Ye was under the Bodhi tree. His breathing and mind were integrated with the Bodhi tree, and his body swayed gently with the shaking of the branches. Huiyuan
Although he is old and frail, and his eyes are cloudy, he can still see the Taoist practice of donor Ye's unity of heaven and man, so he said this." Huiyuan still lowered his eyes, and his pair of skinny hands were exposed to the broad monk.
On the outside of the robe, she gently fiddled with a string of purple-red rosary beads.
Ye Feng looked at Huiyuan's hands exposed outside the monk's robe. The thin and wrinkled hands pressed on the rosary beads, as if they were reborn, accurate and gentle, each rosary bead seemed to have been scheduled at the same time.
One falls and one rises.
"One flower and one world, one leaf and one Tathagata." Huiyuan raised his head and looked at the Bodhi tree in front of him and said slowly, "Almsgiver Ye, you must have come here today to see the Buddha's bone relics."
"What the master said is absolutely true. I have long heard that the Buddha's Bone Relics Revealing Ceremony will be held at Puji Temple, and today I came here specifically to see and observe." Ye Feng looked at the faithful men and women who passed by the Bodhi tree from time to time, and nodded.
"It is said that before death, life will be after the moment of life." Huiyuan looked at Ye Feng, his snow-white eyebrows slightly raised, a cheerful smile appeared on his face, and the wrinkles on his face disappeared little by little, as if they were smoothed by the smile.
generally.
Huiyuan looked at the bodhi tree in front of him and slowly closed his eyes, as if he had fallen into trance. He stood quietly, with only the purple-red rosary in his skinny hands still turning slowly.
Ye Feng looked at Huiyuan's kind face, smiled slightly, raised his head, and looked at the branches of the Bodhi tree dancing in the wind.
…
"Dong"...a loud and melodious bell sounded.
Huiyuan raised his head, and a soft light emitted from his groggy eyes. Huiyuan clasped his hands together and looked towards the Great Buddha Hall, "Amitabha, the time has come for the Buddha's bones and relics to be illuminated again."
Huiyuan looked at Ye Feng, nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the Great Buddha Hall.
There was a flurry of footsteps in the quiet Puji Temple. The men and women who were offering incense and praying in various Buddhist halls joined their hands and exited the halls, heading towards the Big Buddha Hall.
Ye Feng found Avril and the other three among the crowd of believers. He followed the three people and slowly walked to the Great Buddha Hall along with the pilgrims. A yellow belt had already been pulled up in front of the door of the Great Buddha Hall.
The crowds of pilgrims blocked the entrance to the temple. Believers kept coming from all over the place, crowding the wide courtyard in front of the Great Buddha Hall. Each of the believers looked into the Great Buddha Hall with devout expressions and focused eyes.
The tall and majestic Great Buddha Hall is resplendent with gold and jade, the ground paved with bluestone is spotless, and the incense burners made of bronze are filled with incense. Rows of monks in robes filed out of the side door of the Great Buddha Hall, standing solemnly on both sides of the hall.
.
Ye Feng stood next to Avril and stared at the Great Buddha Hall quietly. In the vagueness, Ye Feng noticed some strange movements in the crowd. The crowd was not entirely devout believers who came to perform pilgrimage. They turned to the sacred and exciting temple in the Great Buddha Hall.
There were several strange rays of light in his eyes, which made Ye Feng feel vaguely uneasy.
After Ye Feng and others left the Luocheng Grottoes, Michelle, who also left quietly, appeared outside the Great Buddha Hall. Michelle stood in a corner not far from Ye Feng, and had been observing Ye Feng's every move.
When she saw Ye Feng looking at her, Michelle was startled.
As a killer, whenever he appears in a place, he will choose a suitable foothold for himself, which is not only convenient for attacking, but also convenient for concealment and retreat. The place Michelle chose outside the Great Buddha Hall is a good choice for Ye Feng in front of him.
Say, it's a blind spot in terms of angle.
Michelle didn't expect that Ye Feng would discover her. For a moment, she didn't know whether Ye Feng discovered her by accident or other reasons. Michelle, who had seen big scenes, the surprise on her face was fleeting.
Looking at Ye Feng, he smiled and nodded.
Ye Feng ignored this woman who had been following him since he came to Luo City. He looked at Michelle expressionlessly and then turned his attention to other places. Outside the crowded Buddha Hall, Ye Feng found another person.
A familiar figure.
Ye Feng did not expect to meet Li Ruoyun here, looking at Li Ruoyun's familiar figure. Ye Feng couldn't help but think of the night when Li Ruoyun said goodbye to him. At that time, Li Ruoyun only told himself that he would leave Tianjing for a while, but did not explain his departure.
The reason. When I met Li Ruoyun here, it seemed that Li Ruoyun was performing a mission in Puji Temple. The Chinese Ministry of Security must also attach great importance to the security and defense work of this Buddha bone relic restoration ceremony.
Li Ruoyun still has smart short ear-length hair, wears black jeans, a red striped cotton shirt, and carries a backpack behind her back. She looks like a female college student who comes to play. Li Ruoyun wears a pair of huge sunglasses.
Covering most of his face, Li Ruoyun carefully observed the situation inside and outside the hall through his brown lenses.
Li Ruoyun didn't notice Ye Feng's scorching gaze from a distance. He still looked intently into the Great Buddha Hall, lowering his head from time to time and saying something to the miniature microphone pinned to his shirt.
…
"Dong, dong, dong...", a bell rang.
There was a sound of chanting in the Great Buddha Hall. The monks standing on both sides of the Great Buddha Hall clasped their hands, lowered their heads and lowered their eyes, muttering words. The side door of the Great Buddha Hall opened, and Master Huiyuan, who was wearing a golden cassock, held a yellow brocade parcel in his hands.
Holding the box, accompanied by several senior monks, he slowly walked to the Great Buddha Hall with a solemn expression.
Master Huiyuan walked to the altar table in the center of the hall, gently placed the box in his hand on the altar table, clasped his hands together, and bowed respectfully to the box.
A skinny old monk walked up to the altar table and pronounced the Buddha's name, and the chanting in the hall suddenly stopped.
Master Huineng is an elder in Puji Temple, and he and Master Huiyuan, who presided over it, belong to the Hui generation. Huineng looked at the monks in the hall, and then at the crowd of believers outside the Great Buddha Hall, clasped his hands, nodded and said, "When the Buddha was alive,
I perished. I was born after the Buddha passed away. I regret that I have many karmic obstacles and cannot see the golden body of the Tathagata. Today, the sacred objects are shining brightly, so that the world can pay homage to them. My Buddha is merciful, my Buddha is merciful."
After the skinny Master Huineng finished reciting the sutra, he clasped his hands and bowed to the statue of Sakyamuni enshrined in the Great Buddha Hall. He slowly retreated to the offering table and looked at the box on the offering table with a solemn expression.
There was silence inside and outside the Great Buddha Hall. Everyone focused their attention on the box wrapped in yellow brocade, raising their heads in anticipation, hoping that Master Huiyuan, who was standing in front of the altar table, could unveil the mystery of the sacred object as soon as possible.
Master Huiyuan looked at the box wrapped in yellow brocade on the altar table, stretched out his skinny hands, and slowly untied the thousand-year-old knot on the package, revealing a glossy rosewood box.
"This is a rosewood letter. According to the information I checked on the computer, Buddha bone relics are usually wrapped in several layers of treasure letters, and each layer of treasure letters contains precious spices." Liao Xiaoxuan whispered beside Catherine.
Explaining softly, Catherine looked at the rosewood letter on the altar table and nodded solemnly.
Master Huiyuan slowly opened the red sandalwood letter and took out a shining silver treasure letter from the wooden letter. Next to him, Master Huineng reached out and picked up the opened red sandalwood letter and placed it beside the offering table with a solemn expression.
The devout believers inside and outside the Great Buddha Hall clasped their hands and chanted the name of the Buddha silently. Master Huiyuan slowly opened one treasure letter after another, including the gilt silver treasure letter of the Four Heavenly Kings, the silver treasure letter with the plain face, and the gilt Buddha's Dharma Speech Letter.
A treasure letter with a silver top, a pure gold letter with a six-armed Guanyin robe, a pure gold letter with mother-of-pearls in a gold basket, a treasure letter with warrior stone in a gold basket with mother-of-pearls. Each of the exquisitely crafted treasure letters was opened one after another.
"The seventh level of treasure letter has been opened. Below is the eighth level of treasure letter. This should be the last level of treasure letter." Liao Xiaoxuan's eyes flashed with excitement, and he quietly explained to Avril and Catherine what was placed on the altar table.
One treasure after another.
Master Huiyuan's wrinkled hands slowly opened the gold basket, pearls and warrior's stone treasure letter. Master Huiyuan's snow-white eyebrows trembled slightly, and his hands steadily took out a small tower that shone with golden light.
This exquisite single-eaves, four-door pure gold pagoda is the first and innermost layer of the eight-fold treasure letter. The gold pagoda is about ten centimeters high. The top of the pagoda is decorated with a golden lotus, holding a golden lotus on the top of the pagoda.
Golden beads. There are four small golden doors on all sides of the tower. The door is carved with fish roe patterns. The lower part of the door is engraved with a symbolic flying ladder to the tower base. The tower base is a pure gold square platform with a small silver pillar standing in the middle. From the tower
Looking in from the small golden gate around the body, there is a crystal clear white column erected inside, with a holy white light emitting from the whole body.
Master Huiyuan looked at the white light emanating from the small golden pagoda, his expression became more solemn and solemn, and he opened the golden pagoda with trembling hands. In the silent Great Buddha Hall, the white Buddha bone relics reappeared in the world, quietly
Standing quietly on the brocade, the holy light that constantly emits makes the entire Great Buddha Hall shine even more brilliantly.
Master Huiyuan clasped his hands together, bowed while looking at the Buddha's bone relics that radiated holy light, and said slowly, "A Buddha was born due to unique causes and conditions. Fortunately, I saw the Buddha's light."
There was a burst of chanting inside and outside the Great Buddha Hall. The believers outside the Buddha Hall could not conceal their excitement. They chanted the name of the Buddha and kowtowed in worship.
"Is this the Buddha's bone relic?" Catherine asked Liao Xiaoxuan in a low voice beside her.
Liao Xiaoxuan nodded solemnly, "It is one inch and two inches high. The top is folded down and the height is different. The marrow hole is large and there are hidden traces in it. It is completely consistent with the historical records found. This is the Buddha bone relic."
