Chapter 827: Buddha looks at a bowl of water, 48,000 insects

Chapter 827 Buddhism: A bowl of water contains forty-eight thousand insects

Today's four great leaders of the righteous path are Qiankunzi, the leader of the Xuantian Sect, Yujizi, the leader of the Cangyun Sect, Guan Shaoqin, the leader of the Piaomiao Pavilion, and the last one is Master Kongyuan, the abbot of Kasyapa Temple.

As the head of the four great divine monks of Kasyapa Temple today, Master Kongyuan's status in the world can be said to be extraordinary. He is the kind of master that mortals will kneel down to worship when they see him.

Ye Xiaochuan and others were all juniors of Cangyun Sect, so they naturally did not dare to neglect the etiquette at all. When they walked into the main hall, everyone straightened their clothes and straightened their hair. They were all happy just now. All expressions disappeared at this moment, and his face was solemn so as not to lose etiquette.

Walking into the main hall, I saw three people wearing redbud cassocks sitting cross-legged on the futons of the Mahavira Hall, facing the main door. Behind them was the tall golden body of Buddha. On both sides were the golden bodies of Manjushri and Samantabhadra. On both sides of the huge hall , there are also many golden figures of Arhats holding knives, forks and sticks. Some Arhats have ferocious expressions, like ghosts from hell, which is daunting.

A group of people all bowed to the ground, and Du Chun said: "Junior Cangyun Sect disciple Du Chun, see Master Kongyuan, Master Kongwu, Master Kongjian."

All the sects of Zhengdao are connected by the same spirit, and those of the same generation can be treated as masters and brothers, so Du Chun called Kong Yuan, Kong Wu, and Kong Jian uncles, which was not wrong.

At this moment, in the Main Hall, except Master Kongming, the other three of the four great monks are here.

Master Kong Yuan clasped his hands together, nodded slightly, and said: "Everyone has come a long way, and the temple is simple. Please forgive me for any neglect."

Everyone said quickly: "Master, you're welcome."

Master Kong Yuan asked about the status of Yu Jizi and others who had just been apart for five days, and Du Chun also answered them one by one. In front of these three divine monks, no one dared to be presumptuous, even Ye Xiaochuan lowered his head.

Jiekong seemed to have thought of something and walked to Master Kongyuan and whispered a few words. Master Kongyuan was stunned and glanced at Ye Xiaochuan and Yun Qiyou.

Then he said to Jiekong: "Jiekong, please make arrangements to let all the apprentice nephews stay in Mount Xumi for a few more days. Don't neglect it."

Jie Kong clasped his hands together and said, "Yes, Master."

Everyone stood up to say goodbye to the three masters. Zhu Changshui and others kept their heads lowered. When they came out, they realized that they had not had time to take a look at the decorations in the main hall. They beat their feet and chests and shouted, "What a pity!"

As soon as he came out, he found that two people were missing. Yang Shijiu asked curiously: "Where are the younger senior brother and senior sister Yun?"

Everyone looked around, and sure enough they didn't see Ye Xiaochuan and Yun Qiyou. At this time, Jiekong came out of the Main Hall and said, "Don't worry, everyone. The master has something to say to Donor Ye and Donor Yun. Please follow me to the wing first." Bar."

Although everyone didn't understand the meaning, they thought it was nothing serious. They just left Ye Xiaochuan and Yun Qiyou alone, which made everyone feel a little amused.

In the main hall, there are only five people left at this moment, namely the three great monks, Ye Xiaochuan and Yun Qiyou.

Master Kongyuan looked at the two young people in front of him with a smile and said: "Two donors, Jie Kong and Lao Na just said that they are very interested in the grotto of the living beings in our temple. It seems that the two donors have discovered the grotto." The two stone sculptures inside are almost identical to the two of you."

Ye Xiaochuan was slightly startled and couldn't help but glance at Yun Qiyou beside him. Seeing Yun Qiyou, his face was also full of surprise and confusion.

After a while, Ye Xiaochuan finally said: "Master, please clarify my doubts."

Master Kong Yuan said: "Do you know the origins of the edgeless swords you are carrying and the Chenchen Sword?"

"As expected."

Ye Xiaochuan murmured secretly in his heart. It seemed that the people who knew about the curse between Zhan Chen and Wu Feng were not the two of them plus Xuan Ying. The Buddhist sect also knew about it.

Master Kongjian on the side said: "Ten years ago, I went to Cangyunmen to watch the young disciples of your sect fight, and realized that the sword in the hands of the donor Ye was the magic weapon Wufeng that had been lost to the world for more than six thousand years. This sword Divine Sword and Zhan Chen in the hands of Donor Yun are a pair of swords with deep quarrels and deep grievances. As the heirs of the two swords in the last life, you two must also be very aware of the curse between the two swords. , this time Northern Xinjiang may also have something to do with the twin swords."

Ye Xiaochuan didn't expect that these masters would know about such a secret thing, and couldn't help but change his expression.

He said: "Master Mingjian, I wonder where the master learned about it? I thought that the only people who knew the secret of these two swords were me and Senior Sister Yun."

Master Kong Yuan and the other three looked at each other, and then they all smiled.

Master Kong Yuan said: "The secret of these two swords has been lost in the world for many years. Of course Lao Na and others don't know about it. However, Wu Feng was born ten years ago. After all, it still alarmed some people, including a person from our temple. The old senior who had been in seclusion for many years, Lao Na and others also heard what the old senior said, and then they knew that there was a subtle connection between the two swords of Wu Feng and Zhan Chen. According to what the old senior said, the inscriptions on the swords' bodies were. , is the Ghost Cloud Text that has been lost for many years in Southern Xinjiang. The only one who can interpret the Ghost Cloud Text now is probably the high priest of the Elf Tribe in Northern Xinjiang. Ten years ago, that old man expected that you two would definitely come here. You will definitely discover the secrets in the cave of sentient beings.”

Yun Qiyou suddenly said: "I wonder if the old man that the master is talking about is the Wuxiang Divine Monk of your sect?"

There was no surprise among the three masters. They all nodded slightly, acknowledging Yun Qiyou's guess.

Yun Qiyou said: "I wonder if the Wuxiang Divine Monk has anything to advise us two?"

Master Kongwu laughed and said to Kongyuan: "Brother, you have been waiting for ten years. Today is the day for you to complete your mission. Tell the two donors."

Kongyuan nodded and said: "Uncle Wuxiang does have something to tell you. It only has ten words: Buddha sees a bowl of water and sees 48,000 insects. Amitabha."

Ye Xiaochuan and Yun Qiyou were stunned. Why did the monk Wuxiang learn to play dumb?

He said, "Master, I am stupid. What exactly does Wuxiang Divine Monk's words mean?"

Master Kongyuan shook his head and said, "This is a Zen saying of my Buddhist school. I was also quite confused at the time, but Uncle Wuxiang said that if you want to resolve the 9,900-year grudge between Wufeng and Zhanchen, you must start with this sentence. If you are really the one who is destined to be calamity, you will understand the meaning of it."

Ye Xiaochuan asked some more about the double swords, but the three masters didn't know much. When he asked about the stone carvings in the Grottoes of All Living Beings, he got the same answer as Jiekong said. The stone carvings were copied from a cliff carving on the back mountain of Mount Wutai.

When Ye Xiaochuan asked Jiekong what the text on the stone carving on Mount Wutai was, Master Kongyuan said the same thing: "The Buddha looks at a bowl of water and sees 48,000 insects."

Only then did Ye Xiaochuan and Yun Qiyou understand that this sentence was not what Master Wuxiang wanted to convey. These ten words should be the text that was originally engraved on the cliff carving on Mount Wutai.
