Chapter 55: Not willing to become a Buddha
North of the Cangjiang River and south of the Surabaya River, it was named Yuzhou.
Yuzhou is strange to say. Entering the city gate is Yuzhou County, and exiting the city gate is Qianfo Temple.
This Thousand Buddha Temple is the famous Jialan Treasure Land in the nearby area. Nearby, the limelight even surpassed that of Mount Wutai and Huguo Temple, because Thousand Buddha City has an achievement that is unique among Kyushu, that is, every year, its disciples attain physical Buddhahood.
Therefore, Thousand Buddha City is prosperous with incense, continuous temples, thousands of luxurious houses, and thousands of palaces.
Of course, most of the land in Yuzhou became the "Buddhist field" of the great monk, and most of the people became the "good men and women" of the monk.
And before his eyes he saw that the day of becoming a Buddha had arrived.
The normally idle monks have also restrained themselves a bit, and their patrols have become much tighter.
The entire Qianfo City was under martial law, and all monks were not allowed to go out at night.
However, somewhere at night, a bald head quietly appeared on the wall of a monk's dormitory.
This person's dharma name is Yuantong. He was originally a gangster in the nearby state capital. He fled to Yuzhou to avoid the war. Everyone else became tenants of monks, but he was unique in flattering him and was included in the door and became a fire-headed monk.
However, his rogue nature is hard to change, and he often has a lot of gambling debts. On weekdays, he can go down the mountain and beat good men and women to get some money, but now that the mountain is closed, he has to sit down.
Even more, the creditor urged her fiercely, and her hands were itchy and tight. Today, Dianzao, who occasionally heard her fat and oily, was not in the room tonight, so she started to think...
…………
"Ami, you Buddha, why are you so strict?!"
Yuantong spit out the grass stem with regret.
He had already figured out the route of the patrolling monks. Unexpectedly, the number of men was doubled tonight, and he was able to avoid the unexpected ones. Then another unexpected ones came, forcing him to run around in confusion and roll into the grass.
He raised his eyes and saw that the surrounding scenery was deserted and unfamiliar. He panicked for a while, and finally remembered that this must be a forbidden place. Normally ordinary monks like Yuantong were not allowed and dared not come here, but today he bumped into it by mistake.
He walked deeper for a while, and his heart grew colder as he walked. What I saw in front of me was weeds growing between the stone slabs on the road, and spider webs everywhere on the walls and under the eaves.
Yuantong couldn't help but trembled as all kinds of bizarre legends came to his mind.
Suddenly.
"I don't want to become a Buddha!"
A scream startled him.
He was in shock, and bursts of Buddhist chants rang in his ears again.
In this way, he felt more at ease.
"Are you afraid that the demons and monsters don't know how to recite Buddhist scriptures?"
He strained his ears and heard the sound coming from behind the courtyard wall in front of him. He also saw a big tree with dense leaves beside the wall. He climbed up lightly and looked into the wall under the cover of the night and the tree crown. .
Unexpected.
There were more people gathered in this remote courtyard than expected. They formed a circle, each holding a lotus lantern in their hands and chanting unfamiliar scriptures.
One of them was particularly fat. Yuantong took a closer look. Isn't this Dianzuo?
The one on his left is Liao Yuan, the one on his right is Zhi Ke, and the one opposite him should be Ku Tou... These people are all great monks in the temple.
Looking at the center of the circle, two monks guarding the courtyard held a young monk hostage and poured something into his mouth.
Yuantong didn't recognize the two muscular monks, but they were the young monk...
"Hiss, isn't this his original wish? People say that although he is young, he is profound in Buddhism. He was chosen to become a Buddha this year. How could he..."
Yuantong is in a daze.
The two monks suddenly let go of Ben Wan. As soon as Ben Wan was free, they turned around and ran away.
The monk didn't stop him, he just clasped his hands in his arms and watched coldly.
However, Ben Wan had only taken three or two steps, but his lower body suddenly seemed to be fixed on the ground, while his upper body was still in a running posture.
After a while, even the movements of his upper body froze, leaving only his neck and head still able to move.
He could only turn his head towards his master, Temple Vina. Wei Na didn't even raise his eyelids. It seemed that this was not a human being, let alone his disciple, but a pebble or grass. He was just reciting scriptures.
The two monks hummed and carried a heavy object and uncovered the black cloth on the object.
Ben Yuan's face suddenly became extremely distorted.
It was a lotus platform, with an iron nail half a man's height standing on the lotus platform!
The Buddhist chants of the great monks were a little more urgent.
Jian Si paused slightly, and each of the two monks lifted one of Ben Wan's legs, raised it high, aligned it, and placed it on the iron nail.
The veins on Ben Wan's face suddenly swelled, the corners of his eyes cracked, and his red eyes seemed to pop out of their sockets. It was obvious that he was in extreme pain, but he couldn't even scream, but then, even his expression of pain froze.
The monk pushed him all the way to the lotus platform, letting the iron nails penetrate completely into his body.
Then, he crossed his legs and made a meditation posture. He also put his left hand upright on his chest to make the fearless seal, and spread his right hand on his knee to make the wish seal.
Then he reached out his hand to his horrified and twisted face...
In the desolate courtyard, in the miserable night.
"The chin should be tucked in."
"The right corner of the mouth is a bit high."
"You need to lower your eyebrows a little lower."
…
The Buddha sings and stops.
On the throne of the lotus platform, a sacred flesh Buddha with a solemn appearance has taken shape.
The temple supervisor took out a piece of yellow jade and put it into Ben Yuan's mouth. Then, all of this seemed to have exhausted the strength of the great monks. He asked the monks to move Ben Yuan into the back of the house and guard the courtyard, and then they helped each other and left.
…………
Yuantong has already lost his soul.
He desperately suppressed his breathing and heartbeat.
"Is this what it means to become a Buddha?"
"This is becoming a Buddha!"
He suddenly remembered that when he was flattering him a few days ago, Monk Dianzuo praised him for being smart and wise.
At that time, he was complacent; now, he is shuddering.
"Escape, you must escape!"
But this world is hard. If you want to run away, how can you do it without having to pay for it?
Suddenly.
The door to the courtyard creaked open and closed.
But it was the two monks who moved Ben Yuan into the house and out.
The two came out and started talking.
"Junior brother, senior brother suddenly remembered something urgent..."
"Emergency? Could it be that we are going to find the widow of the Lin family?"
"Hey, junior brother, don't talk nonsense."
"Why are you talking nonsense? To be honest, senior brother, I am also hungry for that widow's plump and white body."
"What do you mean, junior brother?"
"How about our senior brothers get married tonight and become brothers-in-law?"
"But this side?"
"Oh! I'm so scared. Who will come? Who dares to come?"
"So, let's go together?"
"Go together."
Seeing the two doorkeepers walking out arm in arm, Yuantong suddenly thought of the yellow jade in Ben Yuan's mouth. Wasn't it just money?
After the two of them walked away, Yuantong quietly walked into the courtyard and opened the door, but it was dark inside.
He was already prepared, took down the lantern hanging outside the door and led it forward.
He immediately fell to the ground in shock.
In the dim room, a dozen or so people greeted each other in silence.
Yuantong threw himself on the ground and waited for a long time, but there was no other movement. He boldly got up and looked at it with a lantern.
It turned out to be the "Buddha in the flesh" as he originally wished, but with an extra layer of gold paint on the skin.
He breathed a sigh of relief and bowed around him a few times.
"Fellow brothers, there is always a wrongdoer and a debtor. I just want to take some things. If you want revenge, don't come to me."
After saying that, he approached Ben Yuan and pried the yellow jade out of his mouth.
This wish seemed to be still alive. When Huang Yu left her mouth, two lines of blood and tears fell from her lowered eyes.
Yuantong didn't care about this, he immediately rushed to the next Buddha in the flesh.
Since I wish to have jade in my mouth, then the rest...
This physical Buddha obviously arrived earlier than Ben Yuan, but it is the only one in the room other than Ben Yuan that is not painted with gold paint.
Yuantong opened its lips, and sure enough there was one.
Yuantong was overjoyed. After taking it out, he immediately walked towards the other one, but he didn't find it...
In the open mouth of this "flesh Buddha", canine teeth slowly grow, and red hair grows on his face.
