There are two ways for a monk to pass away.
First, after becoming a physical Buddha, he will be enshrined in a temple and worshiped by believers.
There is also a kind of cremation, after the death of the monk who has attained the Tao, he will condense the relics, which is a treasure of Buddhism, and it is difficult for outsiders to find a thousand gold.
In addition to the relics, the body of the monk will also be burned into ashes, although the ashes are not as valuable as the relics, but the ashes of the monks who are profound in Buddhism are difficult to invade the demons and ghosts, and the role of Taoist instruments is similar, if the family of Buddhist believers can enshrine so a small number of ashes after the death of the monk can protect the peace of the family for several generations.
The ash altar handed over by the old monk to Lao Dao is filled with the ashes of Master Mingjing of the Hanging Temple after being cremated at the age of 99 twenty years ago.
The Mingjing master of the Hanging Temple is not famous in the world, and even few people know, so there are no believers, which is related to the way of doing things in the Hanging Temple, there are very few monks in the temple, there are only a dozen monks in the three generations, and there are only two or three people who enter the WTO to practice every year, and the WTO never uses the name of the world, and over time, the vast majority of the people in the world do not know which temple the Hanging Temple is, only some of the senior monks in the world know it.
However, the monks of the Hanging Temple are very famous in Buddhism, and are admired by many monks, and Master Mingjing is recognized as the most profound one of Buddhism in Buddhism, and his cultivation is admired by all Buddhist monks in the cause and effect of the two great Buddhist doors of Jishi and Pudu.
Master Mingjing entered the WTO before his death, and did three shocking acts of Buddhism, which directly established Mingjing's lofty position in Buddhism.
The first time was when he was young, the country suffered from war and chaos everywhere, and the people were struggling to make a living, Master Mingjing walked out of the Hanging Temple at the age of twenty-three to walk in the world, and every time he went to a battlefield or a place where there were many dead people, Master Mingjing would begin to surpass those dead souls, and he would not leave until he had tempered all the unjust souls.
This time, Mingjing did not return to the Hanging Temple for eleven years after entering the WTO, and he spent countless souls, and in more than ten years, he used his feet to almost all the war-torn areas in the country.
The second time was when Master Mingjing was fifty years old, he went out of the mountain again, went to India, and imitated the act of Master Xuanzang in the West Heaven to seek scriptures, he went back and forth for a total of eight years, and asked for a few volumes of scriptures that were scarce in domestic temples from Nalanda Temple in India, and then announced them to the public, so that domestic monks could practice the scriptures.
The last time Master Mingjing entered the world was when there was an earthquake in Tangshan in the mid-70s, when he went out of the hanging temple and sat in the center of the Tangshan earthquake, and recited the scriptures for 81 days in a row.
These three times Master Mingjing's practice has been admired by many monks in Buddhism, and he has surpassed the soul of the dead even he does not know how much, which can be said to have created the supreme merit of the monks for many years without the monks.
And after Mingjing's death, there was originally a chance to sit and incarnate into a Buddha in the flesh and then be molded into a golden body and stored in the temple for people to worship, but Mingjing asked that he be cremated into ashes after his death, and then the condensed relics were placed in several extremely fierce places to suppress evil things, and he also said that if there is a need for his ashes, he can take them out at any time to suppress them.
Therefore, this time, Lao Dao left Xiangjiatun for more than half a month, that is, he went to the Hanging Temple, first, to ask the monk who practiced closed-mouth meditation to go out of the mountain to join forces with him to suppress the old tomb, and secondly, he hoped to bring out some of the ashes of Master Mingjing for use in the Feng Shui array.
After Lao Dao took the jar containing the ashes of Master Mingjing, he took out five small flags with gold, wood, water, fire and earth written on them from his robe, and the old monk next to him suddenly lit up when he saw this.
"I've made a lot of money, and I'm not soft at all" Lao Dao sighed quite sadly, and said: "There are not many magic weapons in our ancient wells, just a few, this time I brought these flags after the treasure of the shock view is very little, how to hang the temple to you, the temple has been built for thousands of years and left countless Buddhist treasures, and there is no toothache when you give alms, hey, people really have to die than people." ” Lao Dao took out the flag and threw it casually, and the flags printed with the five elements were inserted in the five directions around the old tomb, and the flag was planted on the ground, and the entire Xishan area suddenly trembled, and it was obvious that the ground under his feet seemed to move.
"I want to change the trend of the entire mountain range, this is not far from the palace built by Nurhachi in Shenyang back then, it is because of the existence of dragon veins in this area, although it is not as good as the dragon veins in the capital, but after all, this mountain range also brings a dragon, and Nurhachi has gathered a lot of imperial energy in Shenyang, can it also be used" The old road muttered while burying the ashes of Master Mingjing next to the five-pole flag, and continued: "I want to set up the Five Elements Lock Yin Great Array, and lead the dragon vein emperor qi to suppress the evil things in the old tomb, Master Mingjing's ashes can help me even more, even when the yin qi is the heaviest when the ghost door is opened every year, the contents will definitely not be able to rush out. ” Every year on the 14th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar is the Ghost Festival, also known as the Midyear Festival, on this day, the connection between the world and the underworld will be wide open, and after 11 o'clock, the evil things will wander in the world, and ghosts and monsters will run rampant.
On this day, the yin qi is extremely heavy, and all demons and monsters have the ability to come out, and this day is also the best time for those who are very fierce to come out and jump.
After planting the flag and burying the ashes, Lao Dao said to the monk again: "Don't be idle, use your Jizo Bodhisattva Wish Sutra to bless me with the power of the spell, it is best to engrave the six messengers of Jizo for me, this is a key skill, can you do it?"
” The old monk nodded slightly, folded his hands, and the boss with the old Dao's eyes glared, and said in disbelief: "I just said that casually, but I really didn't expect you to be able to engrave the six envoys in, which requires at least the three great monks to work together to engrave it, and the monks don't speak!"
Bald donkey, if you hadn't deceived me, I could at least have pressed the contents of this old grave until twenty-five years from now. ” The old monk was silent, the old Taoist shook his head with "tsk, tsk", and then took out six charms and spread them in front of him, bit his middle finger and squeezed out the blood and began to depict the spell on the rune paper, after the six charms were drawn, the old monk untied his robe and swiped his index finger continuously, and the robe was cut out of six parts, and at the same time his closed mouth seemed to be chanting the Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra.
As the scriptures were recited, the six messengers of Jizo were gradually revealed on the six robes.
The silhouettes of the Flame Messenger, the Treasure Bearer, the Mighty Messenger, the Great Mercy Celestial Maiden, the Treasure Celestial Maiden, and the Angel Photographer were engraved on the robe in turn.
Lao Dao took the robe with some excitement, and then stepped on the gossip position, his right hand frequently sealed, and his left hand embedded the rune paper and robe together in the Five Elements Lock Yin Feng Shui Array.
"This array is absolutely domineering, and it is more than enough to suppress the evil things of the old tomb for twenty-five years!"
