The news that the Buddha statue emerged from the ground shocked the entire Guangyuan!
The reason was that an old Nong man at the foot of the mountain had nothing to do these days and went up the mountain to hunt with his bow and arrow.
I heard that I encountered a fat and strong spotted deer that day. I immediately chased after it. Just when I was about to shoot the deer with an arrow, I suddenly tripped over something under my feet. It turned out to be a Buddha head!
Guangyuan is a place full of people worshiping mountain gods. There are only a few Buddhist temples and no Buddha statues.
So the man cursed his bad luck on the spot and asked him to take off a spotted deer on the spot. This was their source of meat for several months. Not to mention how shiny the skin was, if he took it and sold it while the market was hot, there would definitely be a profit. Not bad price!
After scolding him for a long time, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He had been here for several days and had never seen any Buddha statues! Guangyuan said it was big, but it was just such a small place. Especially those who drove the mountains all year round, they were particularly sensitive to the signs in the mountains. These were the coordinates that guided them. He clearly remembered that there was no Buddha statue. This issue!
He was unsure again, so he cursed and went down the mountain.
The next day, the man didn't give up and wanted to try his luck at the original place to see if he could still encounter the spotted deer, but something he didn't expect happened!
Only a small part of the Buddha's head, which was buried in the ground, emerged from the ground, and it appeared even more!
The man was so frightened that he knelt on the ground on the spot, his calves were weak!
This person was very thoughtful! He wanted to go up the mountain to find the flowered deer, and also wanted to see if the Buddha statue was still there. Unexpectedly, he saw this scene that frightened him!
Yesterday's Buddha statue only showed a small piece of bun, so it was not obvious on the ground and people would trip over it!
And today, the whole bun has popped out! Like people, Buddha statues have obvious features, so people recognize them very carefully!
More importantly, the soil next to the Buddha statue was split open, and the cracks were clearly visible, as if the Buddha statue grew out of the soil!
The people were so frightened that they immediately ran down the mountain, shouting as they ran, the Buddha on the mountain had appeared!
He made a big fuss when he shouted!
Many people laughed at him because he was scared, scaring himself, and did not believe what he said at all, but Nong Ren refused to give up. He made a bet with others that this Buddha statue would grow taller! If anyone wants to lose, call him daddy!
With such excitement, how could they miss it?
The people at the bottom of the mountain immediately followed the Nong man up the mountain. Sure enough, there was a Buddha statue on the mountain!
They started talking immediately. A few days ago, someone at the foot of the mountain saw the bright Buddha light on the mountain. They thought someone was crazy, but they didn't expect that there was actually a Buddha statue buried here!
Their hearts became heavy, and they immediately realized that this matter was not simple. People in Nong did not believe in Buddhism, and there were very few Buddhist temples in Guangnan. Where did the Buddha statues come from! This is almost everyone’s consensus!
Some of them suggested digging up the Buddha statue, but others immediately stopped it. They didn't just agree to make a bet, they really wanted to see if the Buddha statue would really grow back!
Several people refused to go back to the house together and stayed on the mountain all night! They watched for half the night and saw no change. In the second half of the night, they couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep deeply!
When they got up the next day, the terrible thing happened again. The Buddha statue seemed to have vitality. It drilled out of the ground a few inches. It turned out that the whole bun of flesh was exposed, and now a pair of eyes popped out!
The Buddha statue's eyebrows were lowered, and his compassionate light looked at them as if with pity, which finally shocked them!
This Buddha statue will really grow!
If one person saw this scene, he might still tell a lie, but so many people saw it at the same time, and they went there for the bet, so there was no way they could help others lie!
As the word spread, countless people rushed to the back mountain to see this holy site. Most of them were Han people, because they are the most devout to Buddhism. They kowtowed and burned incense in front of the Buddha statue. Many people were even suggesting that, A temple is to be built where the Buddha statue was unearthed! The noise was too great, and their actions also infected people who had no faith, and they began to
Begin to worship the Buddha statue!
The news about the holy miracles in Guangyuan began to spread crazily to the surrounding prefectures and counties at an incredible speed!
In this age of underdeveloped information! Being able to spread this news infinitely by hand and mouth is an incredible power!
What is the situation in Guangyuan now? The local population is several thousand, and the outsider population is nearly ten thousand. They all come from all directions to see the miracle!
There are even many people at the foot of the mountain who come to meet these people, and stalls of various sizes have sprung up like bamboo shoots after the rain! Outsiders can't cook, but they still have to eat. There are more local stalls cooking steamed buns and noodles than there are houses, all for the sake of these people who come to watch the fun!
The people of Guangyuan did not expect that one day their hometown would turn into such a terrifying scale. If it could be like this every day, life in Guangyuan would be much easier! No one has to worry about living a hard life. Just cook a pot of rice and sell it in the market. There are many people who want to buy it. You can make a lot of money if you earn just a penny from a bowl!
Liang Chuan knew that the place where this happened was the place he found when he went up the mountain a few days ago!
But he clearly remembered that day. There was nothing on the ground at that time. If there was any Buddha statue, he must not miss it!
He followed the large army up the mountain and rushed to the back mountain area. Along the way, people were talking about the Buddha statues. He saw such a fanatical group of people, their clothes were unique, and there were even Miao and Yao people. Dong people, but their attitude towards this matter is the same, they want to see it with their own eyes!
As far as he knows, among the many ethnic groups in Guangnan, very few of them believe in Buddhism, but there is probably only one thing that can make them believe in Buddhism, and that is suffering!
In troubled times, Buddhism and Taoism came down from the world. Although there were also warrior monks who saved the King of Qin, this cannot be generalized, but as long as it can save people's hearts and souls, it is good!
People have suffered enough. No matter which nationality they are from, what they are looking for is the destination of their souls! Whether I am a Buddha or a Taoist, my hometown is where my heart belongs! Human pursuit, there is only so much peace!
Liang Chuan had always been thinking about what motivated Tang Xunzhuang to cross mountains and plateaus, cross rivers and deserts, and travel thousands of miles to learn Buddhist scriptures, just to spread the Dharma.
Aren't these people just like Tang Monk, but they may come with a bit of disbelief and a bit of excitement!
Liang Chuan is the same, he just wants to watch the excitement!
The large troops surged up the mountain in a mighty manner. The trail that could only accommodate one person a few days ago was turned into a thoroughfare that could be passed by carriages. Even the soil was trampled solid, which showed how many people there were! .
As the large army finally arrived on the mountain, Liangchuan's original land!
The small open space above has been squeezed into a square, and the people on it are all human beings, at least nearly ten thousand people!
Liang Chuan's eyes almost went straight!
"Di Qing is here!"
I don't know who shouted, and people immediately started discussing, who is Di Qing?
People from Guangyuan know Di Qing, but people from other places don’t!
Why is this man still wearing an iron mask?
Liang Chuan crossed the crowd and finally squeezed in front of the Buddha statue!
On the originally flat land, like bamboo shoots springing up after the rain, a Buddha head sprouted out of the ground. The Buddha's eyes were compassionate and compassionate for all living beings! Although half of his nose was still buried in the ground, this scene still had a vibration that touched Liang Chuan's soul!
The ground around the Buddha statue cracked, which is a typical sign of breaking out of the ground! The part of the Buddha statue that is exposed above the ground is nearly half a foot high. Visual inspection shows that the part buried underground may be more than seven feet high!
Liang Chuan's legs went weak and he almost knelt down. He also felt a sense of frustration that science could not explain! And what follows this feeling is the urge to prostrate!
Although the Buddha statue was buried low, the image was a bit tall. He could suddenly understand the boundlessness of the Buddha's teachings. .
A one-foot-wide area centered around the Buddha statue has been cordoned off with wooden stakes, for fear that someone might enter and contaminate the sacred site. Someone covered the Buddha statue with a red cloth. Also paved in front of the statue
Wearing a red cloth, there are fruit and incense offerings on it!
Outside the area of 10 feet, someone else built a small stone platform, with three incense sticks burning on it, and a small statue of the Earth God!
this. . Seeing this scene, Liang Chuan couldn't help but be really touched!
For thousands of years, some things have always remained the same no matter how time passes.
There are still people who know how to worship the earthly god!
It's definitely not a show by these Nong people, it's probably the Hakka people below! There were many Hakkas present, and they knew this rule!
Seeing such a large formation, many people have already begun to worship this Buddha statue!
At this moment, Liang Chuan's thoughts were really confusing!
Even he didn't understand what was going on!
Liang Chuan used to be an atheist because the education he received taught him many truths about the world. He can understand the laws of how everything works and will not be fooled by some people like these ordinary people!
But this time he was really scared, and his outlook on knowledge was greatly impacted!
Coupled with his own personal experience, he began to wonder if there really were gods in this world. .
The peasants protected this place and wanted to let Liang Chuan make up his mind on what to do, but Liang Chuan didn't say a word, staggered, walked through the sea of people with dull eyes, and walked down the mountain numbly!
But Liang Chuan was not the only one who was shocked by such a scene, everyone present, at least the ten thousand people present, were shocked!
If these nearly 10,000 people go back, they can tell tens of thousands of people about this scene. Such a speed of transmission. . It won't be long before the whole Guangyuan will know!
