The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 83

Fachan moved very carefully, as if he was afraid of damaging the contents of the box.

My third uncle and I watched the box open, and Fachan took out something from it, held it in his hand, and showed it to us.

I saw that what Fachan took out was a small oval stone, about the same size as the dates we ate.

This little stone has no special features except that it looks a little smooth on the surface. I really don't understand why Fachan is so respectful.

I curled my lips and asked, "Master Fachan, are you going to give us this broken stone?"

As soon as I finished speaking, my third uncle kicked me: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, it will embarrass me."

I was taken aback for a moment, and looked at my third uncle puzzled, did I say something wrong?

The third uncle ignored me, and said to Fachan, "Could it be that this is the old patriarch's relic?"

Fazen nodded.

When the third uncle heard this, he respectfully took the relic in his hand and watched it carefully.

Speaking of relics, I have heard of them.It seems that some eminent monks who have achieved the Tao are usually cremated after passing away.After cremation, relics will appear.There are different opinions about the formation of such things as relics, and some even say that relics are stones in the body of monks.This statement is obviously unreliable. After all, there are many people with stones in their bodies. After they are cremated, they will not form such things as relics.

Therefore, I prefer to believe that the relics are the crystallization of the virtues of eminent monks who practice precepts and wisdom. The eminent monks have shown these incredible auspicious appearances for the sake of all living beings, and left the relics for viewing, respect and worship.In many temples, the relics of eminent monks have become the treasures of town temples.

But don't blame me for being wrong, this relic really doesn't look special.Just looking at this relic, I remembered the scene of meeting with Patriarch Jueming last night, and I was suddenly in awe.

The third uncle looked at it for a while, then asked Fachan hesitantly: "Master Fachan, the old patriarch said that he would give us this relic?"

Fachan nodded: "Yes, the old patriarch has passed away, and this repentance temple has lost its meaning. So you take this relic, it is the old patriarch's gratitude to you. And this..."

As he spoke, Fachan took out another thing from his bag and stood it on the ground.

That thing is more than half a foot high, like a lampstand, it looks very delicate.Surrounded by dragons, phoenixes, kylins, cranes and other auspicious animals, it is completely natural.Around the lampstand, there are five coin-sized imprints evenly distributed.And the center of this lampstand is engraved with a monk. The strange thing is that this monk has no head, only dragging a long robe.

Although the engravings on this lampstand are complicated, the headless monk impresses you the most at a glance.

The third uncle asked Fachan: "This should also be the work of the wooden figure Yang, your old patriarch, right?"

Fachan nodded, took the relic from the third uncle's hand, and put it on the headless monk's neck.

With a click, the relic and the lamp stand merged into one, becoming the head of the monk.

With the placement of the relic, the entire lampstand seemed to suddenly have aura. Although there was no candlelight, it was shining brightly in the sun.

"It's so ingenious. The old ancestor is really a master craftsman, which is admirable." The third uncle looked at it in admiration.

Fachan said again: "You two benefactors, please observe this lampstand carefully to see if you can see the mystery in it."

I can see that the workmanship of this thing is very good, but of course I can't see anything else.Fa Zen has an element of questioning, so this naturally fell on the third uncle.

Third Uncle held the lampstand in his hand and observed it. Although I couldn't understand it, I moved over to it.

After the relics are placed on the lampstand, the rest of the place is good. If it increases by one point, it will be more, and if it is reduced by one point, it will be less. It can be described as just right.Only the place where the five copper coins were imprinted seemed to be missing something.

The third uncle looked at it for a while, put down the lampstand, and said, "Master Fachan, if I'm not mistaken, this lamp should be called the Five Emperors Ceremony Buddha Lamp. There are exactly five traces on the copper coins, and they should be from Shunzhi and Kangxi." , Yongzheng, Qianlong, and Jiaqing's copper coins and Tongbao are inlaid in it."

After hearing this, Fachan showed surprise.He saluted the third uncle: "It seems that the donor is really a high-ranking person, but the little monk is negligent. Being able to say the name of the Five Emperors' Buddha Lamp shows that the donor is a learned man. The old patriarch said that the Five Emperors' Buddha Lamp The five emperors' money cannot be inlaid with ordinary copper coins, but the five emperors' money must be used. It will be used magically when the five emperors get together. This lamp is also given to you, and the old ancestor said that you should be able to use it. "

The third uncle was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed to Fachan: "Then thank you, Master Fachan, we are ashamed to accept it, and thank you, Old Patriarch."

Fachan nodded: "That little monk sent the two benefactors to the mountain gate."

The third uncle asked me to take the five emperor lamps, and we were sent to the temple gate by Fachan.

We bid farewell to Fachan and were about to go down the mountain when the third uncle suddenly turned around and looked at the words "Repentance Temple" on the temple gate.

"Third Uncle, what's the matter?" I asked.

The third uncle didn't answer me, but asked Fachan who was still standing in the door: "Master Fachan, the old patriarch has repented for 100 years, has he let go?"

Fachan was inside the door, and suddenly said a word: "Several reincarnations, continue the frontier."

With that said, Fachan closed the temple door with a bang.

I asked my third uncle, "What did you mean by asking him, and what did he mean when he answered you?"

The third uncle scratched his head, looked at the mountain gate and thought for a long time, then suddenly had an idea, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Nephew, I figured it out. With this sentence, we have an explanation to Wan Qing." I'll go back and see her now."

The third uncle walked down the mountain excitedly, calling Xu Ruoxi while walking.

After he got in touch with Xu Ruoxi, he told me the meaning of that sentence.

What the third uncle asked Fachan meant, the Buddha said that jumping out of the three realms is not in the five elements, and the wooden man Yang faces the wall to repent, if he can't let go, he has not achieved his goal.So until Zuohua, did he realize anything?
I nodded, and asked what Fachan's words meant?Why do you have to talk about this kind of Buddhism in such a way?

The third uncle shook his head: "Those two sentences were not said by Fachan, but by the old patriarch. They were just borrowed from Fachan's mouth and said to us. Then borrowed our mouth to say it to Wanqing."

I muttered those two sentences: "Several reincarnations, continue the previous relationship... several reincarnations, continue the previous relationship... Ah, does that mean that the old Patriarch has never forgotten Wan Qing, and wants to make an appointment with Wan Qing?" , after several reincarnations, will the two be together again?"

The third uncle said with a smile: "Nephew, you do have a bit of a connection with Buddhism."
