Five hundred and eighteenth chapter Bodhi son
Li Yi has made many speculations about Polygonum multiflorum and the Spirit Card.
It’s a good idea to explain Polygonum multiflorum. After all, it is a spiritual medicine worth tens of thousands of years. Although I don’t know how it lived for so long and how unlucky it was obtained, since it has lived for tens of thousands of years, everything is possible.
But the soul-tapping card is really not easy to explain.
Not to mention that it magically hides itself in his body, it is extremely contradictory, but it can identify all things and absorb cool air and evolve into perspective.
Originally, Li Yi guessed that it might be a scanner and identification instrument from the future. Because many things have specimens, it can identify everything in the world. However, the special function of absorbing cool air and evolving into perspective is obviously a bit of fantasy. Could it be that the future of the earth will develop a strange civilization that combines science and fantasy?
Li Yi shook his head. Since such fantasy things can happen to him, it is completely impossible for others to encounter some magical things.
After figuring this out, he suddenly had a kind of expectation, but also a faint fear. Shang Yi and the old man named Zhao Tianxun whom he had met in Taiwan looked at him as if he could see his secret. So, what about this mage named Huiming? Will he be more powerful than those two, or is it nothing?
Sometimes humans are quite contradictory animals. Logically, since they are afraid, they should be able to hide and avoid them. But I don’t know what is driving Li Yi to make him think involuntarily. It should be nothing serious, right?
After looking at the time, Li Yi and Lu Ningshuang decided not to delay any longer and packed up their things and set off now. Yangnan reaches Wutai Mountain for about 800 kilometers, and now they are rushing over and staying for one night, and they just happened to climb the mountain early tomorrow morning.
Wutai Mountain is not a mountain. It is a series of mountain peaks located on the "Roof of North China". Five peaks of Wanghai Peak in the East, Jinxiu Peak in the South, Cuiyan Peak in the Middle, Guaiyue Peak in the West, Yedou Peak in the North, Yedou Peak in the North, surrounded the entire area with no trees on the top of the peak and flat and wide, like a platform with soil, hence the name.
Mount Wutai is a famous Buddhist destination at home and abroad. It is the temple of the Great Wisdom Manjushri Bodhisattva. It is one of the four famous mountains of Chinese Buddhism and one of the five holy Buddhist places in the world.
At the same time, it is also the only Buddhist temple in China where the Qing Temple (the residence of the Lama) and Huang Temple (the residence of the monk) complement each other. This phenomenon of coexistence of the two religions is rare in the history of world Buddhism.
The Yedoufeng, Beitai, which Li Yi and the others are going to, is the highest place in the entire Wutai Mountain. It is known as the "Roof of North China". However, there are sightseeing buses that can drive above the mountain, so it doesn't matter whether it is high or not.
The three of them drove all the way and arrived at Zhouxin City, where Wutai Mountain is located. It was already 6 o'clock in the evening. They did not stop in the city and drove directly to Huaitai Town, which is closest to North Taiwan, found a hotel, and settled down.
Although it was midsummer, the temperature in Huaitai Town was very cool, so Lu Ningshuang was very excited and took Li Yi to the street after dinner.
As a tourist area, Huaitai Town has the most popular streets, except for hotels, and shops selling tourist souvenirs. Because it is a Buddhist area, most of the tourist souvenirs here are related to Buddhism.
Among these things, what Li Yi is most interested in is the Buddhist beads carved with Buddha statues.
This kind of Buddhist bead is not carved on the surface of the Buddhist beads, but is used to open the Buddhist beads and carve them directly inside the Buddhist beads!
The Buddhist beads with this kind of Buddhist beads are slightly larger than the ordinary ones. Generally, 18 pieces are worn together in a string. Each Buddhist bead is the same, and 18 pieces are different.
This is a market specializing in tourism souvenirs. Although it is brightly lit at night, there are about 30 stalls in the market. Each stall mainly sells some cultural and entertainment pendants, including Buddhist beads.
Li Yi looked at several stores and found that the raw materials used for Buddhist beads here are very mixed, including Bodhi, gems, fruit cores, bamboo and wood, and there are many fine products.
There are many things to pay attention to when choosing Buddhist beads. If it is used to worship Buddha, there are certain statements about the material and number of granules. However, if you only wear it for auspiciousness, then there are not many things to pay attention to, just think it is appropriate.
Generally speaking, men are more suitable for choosing beads with a slightly larger number of beads, between 12 and 15, and are worn by bamboo and wood or cores. Women have many more choices. Long beads of various materials can be tried. Generally, 216 beads or 108 beads with small diameters are suitable. Of course, you can also choose large beads with a diameter of more than 10 mm, which will have a unique flavor when worn.
Li Yi has no hobby of playing Buddhist beads, but it does not mean that he does not like this kind of thing. In fact, collectors who collect antiques usually treasure a few strings of Buddhist beads at home. Firstly, because there are many things and it is easy to get started. Secondly, when you are free, you can play with it, or simply understand it so as not to show your timidity when collectors communicate.
Lu Ningshuang has not seen many Buddhist beads, so when she saw that there were so many varieties of Buddhist beads, especially those beautiful Bodhi-type Buddhist beads of different shapes, she was still very surprised.
"I used to think that Buddhist beads are made of wooden, and that kind of gems are just ordinary bracelets. I didn't expect... Huh? What's the one made of, it's so beautiful!"
Li Yi took the Buddhist beads and looked at them, and smiled:
"This is a bodhizizi with a Kirin-eye eye. Do you look at the brown part of the water droplet, like the eyes of a Kirin? Moreover, the number of beads is also particular. In Buddhism, there are often 'twelve relationships of dependent origination' or 'two and six relationships'. Because most things in the world are born and departed by causes and conditions, these 12 beads indicate the 'twelve origins'."
When he heard Li Yi talking about cause and effect, Lu Ningshuang suddenly remembered the two words with homophones. Marriage, her face turned red and she whispered:
“I want to buy a bunch.”
"Haha, if you want to buy it, buy a pair."
Li Yi knew what she was thinking, so he looked at the stall and picked up a string of dark red, shiny, irregular seed-shaped Buddhist beads.
"I'll take this string of suns."
"Suns? Are there any moons?"
Li Yi smiled and picked up a string of moon and a string of star and moon bodhis from the stall.
"Bibi, who do you want?"
Li Yi means that Lu Ningshuang will probably like the more beautiful Star Moon Bodhis, but unexpectedly, this girl's choice is far beyond his expectations.
"Although this string is not very good-looking, the sun and the moon mean that the wife of a brute will not come to the court, so you must buy it. And this string, so many little stars... well, when I am in a good mood, I will give you a guest appearance as a handful of Xiaomi and I also bought it!"
“…”
After walking through two more houses, Li Yi finally saw a string of Buddhist beads similar to openwork. After taking a look, he found that it was a double-sided carving, and the material used was still a real small-leaf red sandalwood!
After taking a closer look at the carving, although there were some flaws, it was just right. He estimated that the beads should not be too cheap.
"If this string is 100,000 yuan, don't worry. This is really not a trick, but this string of beads has other origins."
Li Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at the boss with a smile. The regular price of these Buddhist beads was only about 10,000 yuan. Even in the tourist area, it would be too much to increase ten times at once. See how he can make it round.
"This string of Buddhist beads was only worth ten thousand yuan, but now it is different. It was opened by Zen Master Huiming, so it is worth this price!"
Suddenly, I heard the name of Zen Master Huiming here, and the value of the things he had turned out to be increased ten times. Li Yi and Lu Ningshuang couldn't help but look at each other in surprise. Could it be the Huiming they were looking for?
"You outsiders may not know, but locals must know that Zen Master Huiming is the reincarnation of Manjushri Bodhisattva! When he attained enlightenment, there was a red cloud in the sky and a divine light came from the sky. This kind of vision lasted for more than half an hour. Who in the local area knew it?"
The strange colors in Li Yi and the other two had even stronger eyes, and there were even different types of celestial phenomena. It was not easy to make a fake one. Could it be a coincidence?
"After attaining enlightenment, Zen Master Huiming built a house alone at the top of the Bodhisattva of Beitai, without seeing any foreign guests, let alone consecrating others. Now you should know the preciousness of these Buddhist beads, right?"
"Then... Since Zen Master Huiming has stopped consecrating it, where did you come from the string of Buddhist beads?"
"This is the Buddhist bead that Zen Master Huiming had opened when he had not attained enlightenment. If it were now, hey, you would probably not be able to buy it if you doubled it ten times!"
Li Yi nodded and understood that since it was the light that was not enlightened, it might not have any effect. It is so expensive and not worth it!
"You! Young people, it doesn't matter whether you buy things or not. The key is that you cannot treat Zen Master Huiming with this attitude, otherwise if it is spread, you will be unable to move forward in the entire Wutai Mountain!"
Li Yi was shocked, so powerful? He was even more cruel than that uncle Guo?
Just as he was about to ask the boss for some information about Zen Master Huiming, Lu Ningshuang suddenly gently pulled the corner of his clothes, let's go, go to another stall to ask, and then he would know if the boss was fooling people.
Next, the two walked 5 or 6 stalls along the way. Whenever they mentioned Zen Master Huiming, most of the stall owners looked as if they were respectful as gods. One guy also took out a bean-type jade Guanyin pendant, saying that Zen Master Huiming had once opened it back then, and the price was even sky-high, which was as high as hundreds of thousands!
"Li Yi, it seems that Zen Master Huiming is indeed a little bit from the background. I am a little worried now. Maybe we won't see him tomorrow."
Li Yi shook his head and comforted him with a smile:
"It's okay. If you really can't see me, you will bring your master. The old man said so confidently, you must be sure. Maybe he had called the Zen master a long time ago."
Lu Ningshuang was still waiting for it, but suddenly he caught a glance at a man who described as a despicable man walking quietly to the two of them. As soon as he turned his face to look, he screamed in fear, because the man actually pulled away the black windbreaker she was wearing when she turned her face!
