There is a small temple in the wilderness, there is a big Buddha in the small temple, there are two monks in front of the Buddha, an old man and a young monk, and a white tiger of different species, as well as a traveler who passed by here to spend the night, that is, Zhao Wuving, who said goodbye to Princess Taiping in Longmen and was eager to return to Shuofang.
After the two monks entered the small temple, they did not pounce on the big Buddha as Zhao Wudi imagined, knelt on the ground and bowed three times and nine times, bowed and worshipped, but slightly bowed their heads and casually folded their hands and recited a Buddha name, even if they finished greeting the big Buddha.
That casual and calm appearance, just like greeting the neighbors he met when he went home, made people can't help but doubt the true identities of the two of them, and attributed the two of them to the ranks of fake monks.
However, Zhao Wudi did not doubt it because of this, in fact, there was no need to doubt it, they met each other in Pingshui, they never knew each other, and he did not plan to make friends with Monk Pan.
He just stayed in a small temple for a night, and then set off for the north after sunrise tomorrow, and there was no time to see each other again, so there was no need to dig up other people's privacy and manage other people's affairs Therefore, the two monks were casually perfunctory to the Buddha, and did not show the pious attitude of the monks at all, and Zhao Wudi, as a bystander, also turned a blind eye to this.
Not only that, but he was quite displeased with this big Buddha, disgusted, standing in front of the big Buddha was very hesitant, not knowing whether to bow to it Whether you are a Buddhist believer or not, if you don't worship Buddha when you meet it, you can't help but be a little unreasonable.
It's not about your beliefs, it's about the world's fear of the gods.
According to the description of ancient mythology, in the depths of the starry sky there are heavens and ten thousand worlds, in which there are countless gods, belonging to various traditions, and Buddha is also a kind of gods, naturally should be revered and worshiped by the world.
The reason why he hesitated in his heart and didn't want to worship the Big Buddha was funny, all because he judged people by his appearance, that is, the appearance of this Big Buddha was strange and did not meet his expectations.
In his previous life, although he was born in a Taoist family and practiced Taoist inheritance since he was a child, he once walked the rivers and lakes, looking for various schools and factions in the world to learn martial arts, including Buddhism.
Zhao Wudi once went to Songshan Shaolin Temple alone, and stayed in the temple for more than half a year, in addition to learning martial arts with the monks in the temple every day, the rest of the time also studied Buddhist classics in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, listened to the chanting of monks of all sizes, in order to cultivate self-cultivation, sharpen the Taoist heart, under the influence of the ears and eyes, there is also a lot of understanding of Buddhism.
At this time, he still clearly remembered that all the golden Buddha statues in Shaolin Temple were basically a kind and kind appearance, just like the great monks in the temple, giving people a sense of peace and tranquility, like a harbor of the soul, so that people can find the sustenance of the soul and no longer be irritable.
However, the golden-bodied Buddha in this small temple looks like the old monk, with convex eagle eyes, hooked nose and yellow beard, and the eyes are yellow with green, faintly emitting a fierce light, and the overall look is quite hideous, so that people can't associate him with "compassion for the heart and help the world".
Zhao Wudi was very resistant to this, but he was also very helpless.
Because the Buddhism at this time basically still maintains its true colors, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who worship and worship are all from the West Tianzhu, and they are naturally the images of the Hu people.
As for the kind and kind image of later generations, Zhao Wudi doesn't know who it is and when it started, in order to cater to the preferences of Middle-earth believers, so as to better spread, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have changed their appearances, from the Hu people to the Middle-earth people, even the Buddha is no exception.
Among them, the most exaggerated is Guanyin Bodhisattva, not only changed his physiognomy, but even forcibly changed him from a big man to a woman's body, and his beautiful name said: "Buddha and Bodhisattva have tens of millions of incarnations, but men and women" I don't know if the Bodhisattva heard it, he would lose his temper and throw all these unscrupulous disciples into the pit and suppress them for 1,800 years.
Zhao Wudi didn't care what the Bodhisattva would think in his heart, but that kind and solemn image had taken root in his heart, and it was impossible to change it for a while.
Da Zizai swept his eyes and saw Zhao Wuving's hesitation, but he didn't guess what he was thinking, but thought that he was born in Taoism, out of respect and persistence for the inheritance, it was not good to salute the Buddha, but he was afraid of misunderstanding due to rudeness, and it was inevitable that it would be difficult to make a decision, and his heart was entangled.
Da Zizi couldn't help but smile dumbly, and said disapprovingly: "The Buddha is in the heart, as long as you have good thoughts in your heart, you don't have to stick to the form.
Seeing that my brother is in a hurry, he is in a hurry, and he thinks that he has not used food yet."
He first made a statement to resolve Zhao Wuving's "embarrassment", and then changed his words, mentioning food, which can be described as full of etiquette and quite interesting.
Zhao Wudi didn't want to trouble them too much, he was going to be polite and excuse himself, but who expected that he was at ease but waved his hand and chuckled: "When you go out, meeting is fate, why should you be polite brother?"
Then, he said to the old monk: "Senior Brother Gumoshi, I have to bother Senior Brother Lao to prepare some meat, and there are good Western Regions Sanle pulp, come to two altars, so that the little monk and this brother can have a drink, and talk about the strange people in the rivers and lakes." ” "Don't dare, don't dare, Xiao Ke has already used some dry food before, and he is not hungry in his stomach, so he can just spend the night in this hall, and he really doesn't dare to work as a master anymore."
Zhao Wushu thanked Da Zizi for his kindness, and then excused himself, not wanting to enjoy their wine and meat.
A small temple in the wilderness is not a fuss, but the hateful Buddha in this small temple, the heterogeneous white tiger with a huge physique, the beautiful and demonic little monk, and the hidden old monk are all weird, which makes people have to be cautious.
An old monk, a young monk who is too beautiful to speak, two monks are monks, but they do not have the kind of heart of a monk who respects the Buddha like a god.
Zhao Wudi didn't think that the two of them were charlatans, because with the cultivation and skills of the two of them, there was really no reason to be charlatans.
In this way, this pair of eccentric monks became more and more mysterious, which made Zhao Wudi vigilant and did not want to have too much intersection with them.
Walking in the rivers and lakes, there may be fatal traps everywhere, as long as you are the slightest negligent, you may die without a place to be buried.
They are polite and take out good wine and meat to entertain you, but you don't know that he is not secretly doing things like putting some poison in the wine and meat, or numbing drugs that make your hands and feet weak and weak, and then you will be the fish on the chopping board for people to slaughter.
There is no shortage of these drugs in the rivers and lakes, many of them are colorless and tasteless, which makes people unguardable.
Therefore, for the sake of his life, Zhao Wudi still tactfully rejected Dazi's kindness
