Chapter 74: The monk invites people to kill
"Who did you find?"
"Ghost Buddha!"
Zhao Yushu was shocked. He really found it? You can do it without quitting.
"who is it?"
Bujie made a gesture, and the two of them walked towards the back mountain together.
"Golden body Dharma image!"
"What did you say?"
To be honest, Zhao Yushu really didn't think about the so-called golden body from beginning to end. First, he had no chance to see the golden body in the hall, and second, his target had always been between his great-grandmaster and his uncle.
The two walked up the steps to the back of the mountain. "I used the beads you gave me to look around. The entire main hall is filled with ghostly auras. Yuan Zhen and I are the only two people who have managed to hide here without being exposed. But they seem to be together. I didn't have a chance to ask about their identities."
Bujie took off the beads as he walked and handed them back to Zhao Yushu: "Then, I found that the one with the most ghostly aura in the whole hall was not the monk who presided over the ceremony, nor the other monks, but the so-called golden statue of Buddha. His ghostly aura was so thick that I could hardly see the people under the statue."
"Brother Bujie, I also made some discoveries last night." Zhao Yushu immediately told the story of the monk Mirage in detail. When they reached the top of the mountain, Bujie's face was already full of anger.
"These monks should all be killed!"
Zhao Yushu waved his hand to interrupt his anger: "Now it is basically certain that we have been dragged into a mirage by the ghost Buddha, replaying the seven days when the golden body was made. But Brother Bujie, have you ever thought about whether this mirage is really that easy to activate? In addition, what is the purpose of the ghost Buddha doing all this?"
After listening to Zhao Yushu's words, Bujie also fell into deep thought. Yes, back then, when the monk Mirage entered the inner world and connected the great power of heaven and earth, he showed a magnificent scene. If this ghost Buddha could have the power of the inner world, there would be no need to play this trick. He could have directly smashed Longmen Temple with a slap.
Another purpose is, what's the point of letting everyone review the process of making the golden statue? To make everyone sympathize with him? Are you kidding?
"Wait a minute," Bujie suddenly stopped and said, "Brother Zhao, do you remember what you said in Longmen Temple?"
"Which one?"
"You go to that fat guy and ask him if anyone has ever been stopped by the ghost Buddha when entering Longmen Temple."
Zhao Yushu clapped his hands suddenly: "Yes, the ghost Buddha wanted to kill people, so he could have killed us all on the way. Why did he let us into the temple? Why did he block us there for so long? The monks of Longmen Temple chanting scriptures can't stop it at all. Wait, chant scriptures..."
Bujie seemed to have thought of something: "Yes, chanting sutras, Master Mirage is also a monk."
Zhao Yushu had a terrible idea, but he was not sure: "Brother Bujie, don't tell me that everyone has been used by the ghost Buddha"
"Yes, Ghost Buddha Ghost Buddha, although there is a ghost in it, there is still a Buddha in it. His own magic power is not enough, but with the whole Longmen chanting for him, it is hard to say."
Zhao Yushu understood
So, this is a trap. The ghost Buddha knows how to open the mirage from somewhere, but his own cultivation is too low to initiate it. So he uses the golden body of Wang Yuanwai's family to play a ghost Buddha drama.
The entire Buddhist sect of Longmen joined the game and was forced to gather in Longmen Temple. Then they chanted sutras for him every day. They thought they were stopping him from entering the temple, but unexpectedly they were accumulating power for him to open the mirage.
"Brother Bujie, it still doesn't make sense. What is his purpose in opening this mirage?"
“I think he’s looking for something.”
"What are you looking for?"
"Something that can really get him into the interior scene"
Zhao Yushu thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be the notebook of Monk Mirage. This notebook has been passed down for more than four hundred years. Although it was hidden by my uncle, it has been read by many people before. To be honest, I think it is just an ordinary notebook."
Bujie nodded and said, "I believe in your judgment. It can't be the private money hidden by my uncle. Although those things are valuable, they are just the looted things of an ordinary monk. Although I haven't had the opportunity to take them out yet, there is no need to make such a big fuss."
This is strange. What else can allow people to enter the inner scene of this temple? It is said that there is no master of the inner scene in the entire Longmen. The top masters are all gathered in Dongdu and Xijing.
Besides, it's useless to trick us into a mirage. We are not monks. If anyone is familiar with this temple, it must be the monks in this temple who are most familiar with it. When outsiders like us come in, they will not play by the rules.
Damn, it's not the norm
Zhao Yushu suddenly laughed when he thought of this. He finally figured it out. This grandson was really calculating. It turned out that he was waiting for us here.
"What did you think of, Brother Zhao?"
Zhao Yushu shook his head: "The old monk lied to me"
"what?"
"I know what the ghost Buddha is looking for. Hahaha, I know why he let us in. This beast, of course, is looking for the most precious thing in this temple."
Bujie frowned and said, "Could it be that this temple has some secret manual or magic weapon?"
Zhao Yushu shook his head again: "Brother Bujie, I need to go to the Mahavira Hall."
"It's difficult. You don't have the Buddhist practice, so you can't withstand the soul-demanding Sanskrit sound. If you want to go, wait until the ritual is over tonight."
"It's too late. When the ritual is over, the ghost Buddha might find us. This is an open conspiracy. If we do nothing after we come in, or even if I continue to feed him, after seven days, the master uncle might turn into a ghost Buddha and swallow everyone in one gulp, and then wait for the next group of nosy people to come in."
Bujie became more and more confused: "But, Ghost Buddha is not my uncle master?"
"Because I didn't feed him, I eliminated the anger and resentment of my uncle master, and the ghost Buddha has not been born yet."
"I don't understand"
"The ghost Buddha is formed by the greed of this temple concentrated on a certain person. He will take shape after the ritual, but he has not been born yet. He should have been the Dharma body of my uncle, but now my uncle has less resentment, so the ghost energy cannot possess him, so he can only stay somewhere else temporarily."
"The golden statue in the hall?"
Zhao Yushu turned and went down the mountain: "Maybe, but I suspect that you are seeing things wrong. I have to go and take a look now."
Bujie held him back: "You said this was an open conspiracy, if you don't feed everyone, everyone will die, then what if you feed them?"
"We broke the original history, but we still can't break the impasse, because this is a mirage comparable to the great magical power of the monk Mirage. If we want to break the mirage, we naturally need an inner view."
Bujie was speechless: "According to what you said, we are doomed."
"Not necessarily. If we are dead, the ghost Buddha's plan will fail, and we still have a chance of survival. Brother Bujie, you have violated the precept of killing, right?"
Bujie nodded: "Of course, more than once"
"That's great, brother. Go find a porcelain bottle and an axe or a hatchet."
Bujie has more doubts today than he did in the previous year: “What do I need all this for?”
"I need you to kill someone, and then I have to kill someone too."
