Chapter 67: Clear Cause and Effect

That day did the gods go to Fuqiu Mountain and Daqiu Mountain?

As Xingkong said something, Yihe and I looked at Chunting with strange eyes, and each other's eyes were filled with unconcealed shock.

Unlike Xingkong's expression, he had never experienced such strange things as us, and he still didn't understand what Ye Bai meant. However, after hearing this, after I and Yihe and I remembered the strange experiences we had encountered these days, how could they guess what Ye Bai wanted to tell us?

Ye Bai deliberately mentioned Fuqiu Mountain and Dayi Mountain in his words, and these two places have a close relationship with the backhand left by the Chunting Pavilion at that time. In this way, the meaning is obvious. In the story told by Xingkong, the god who came to Huanghua Temple during the Tang Dynasty was actually the Chunting Pavilion!

I was thinking secretly just now that the so-called god might be a senior master in Guanshan. After he knew that the evil spirit was trying to take away the statue, he rushed to Huanghua Temple to stop it. Perhaps it was because of the great Taoist Dharma, so the monks in the temple misunderstood as god descending to earth by the monks in the temple at that time.

But I never expected that this so-called god was actually the spring pavilion that was originally!

Xingkong stood quietly aside, his expression still filled with confusion. Although he could see the unconcealed shock on his face after hearing what he said, he had no idea why it was just a simple sentence, but it made us react so much.

When I saw Xingkong's appearance, I knew there was no way to explain it to him. I had no time to continue thinking in a hurry, so I quickly suppressed my shock and urged him to continue talking.

"Master, don't worry, you continue to say, what else did the God do that day later?"

When Xingkong saw our appearance, he couldn't tell us how we didn't want to tell the details. He did not ask, but continued to tell us the story behind with a look of memories.

"After the gods regained the treasure, they knew that it had been leaked here, and they decided to transfer the treasures here to other places to save them. After several considerations, they finally chose Yique as the new treasure storage place."

"But after choosing Yique, he did not rush to store the treasures as soon as possible. Instead, he went to Fuqiu Mountain and Dayi Mountain first. According to classics, when the gods came back from these two places, they seemed very tired, but their expression seemed to be very relaxed, as if they had a wish."

"Then the god went to Yique and carved the well-known Buddha Lushena. After the statue was carved, he returned to Huanghua Temple again and brought people to expand and repair it. He replaced the Buddha Lushena in the Water and Land Temple with Vairocana Buddha, and at the same time, he built a rockery and a side hall. The Huanghua Temple you are seeing now is the one that was repaired at that time, and it has not changed for thousands of years."

Xingkong stopped talking after he said this. It seemed that the story ended here. We sorted out what Xingkong said, and finally sorted out the causes and consequences that happened in Huanghua Temple.

This Huanghua Temple was built during the Han Dynasty. According to Xingkong, the original purpose of building this place was to hide the statue. I think that during the Han Dynasty, the Yazi statue was hidden in the deserted dark room of the Water and Land Hall.

There was no change in between from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, but in the Tang Dynasty, the evil people in Xingkong's mouth received this news from somewhere, so he came here and tried to take away the crucial statue with force.

The Chunting also received news at that time that he came here to fight the evil spirits and drove him away, successfully protecting the statue. However, since it had been leaked, it was no longer safe, so he could only find another place as a new hiding place for the statue, and this place was convenient for Yique in Xingkong's mouth, which is now the Longmen.

Since this statue is related to the safety of China, it is necessary to leave clues for future generations of people who have been staying in the mountains. So Chunting arranged it after thinking about it. He carved the statue of Lushe's Buddha at the dragon gate, and returned to Huanghua Temple after the statue was completed and repaired the Huanghua Temple again.

He erected another statue of Wei Tuo in the Arhat Hall, and hidden the hexagram of the water and Tianxu hexagram on the demon-subduing pestle in the hand of Wei Tuo. He also built the tall rockery next to the Tianwang Temple, carved five dragon heads on the rockery, and used the trajectory of the dragon heads after the rain to suggest people from the people of the mountain in the later generations. The clues about the statue were in the Water and Land Hall.

At the same time, he replaced the Buddha Lushana, which was originally worshipped in the Water and Land Temple, with Vairocana Buddha. Through the Buddhist saying of the Three Body Buddhas, he implied that this place is related to the statue of the Buddha in the Longmen Grottoes. As long as people in later generations are careful, it will not be difficult for them to discover the mystery.

This is the arrangement left by the Chunting Pavilion here. It implies rainfall through the water and Tianxu hexagram. After the rain, it points to the water and land hall through the fixed drainage track of the dragon head, and then uses the Vairocana Buddha worshipped in the water and land hall to suggest that the Dharma retribution is not two, so as to guide us to think of the statue of Lusana Buddha in the Longmen Grottoes.

In this way, Chunting was really well-organized and linked back then, which not only ensured the safety of the statue, but also gave us clues to pursue it. His plan took great painstaking efforts.

Yihe looked at Xingkong at this time. Although his words were gentle, the suspicion was very obvious.

"Master, although the treasure you mentioned is no longer in the Water and Land Hall, this is a secret matter after all. For some reason, you are willing to inform us now?"

"I just said that the donor Yebai came to find me, and he also brought my token of the ancestor of Huanghua Temple."

Xingkong did not blame Yihe for his tone of suspicion. He also looked at Yihe with a serious expression.

"When the token is like the ancestors coming in person, Ye Baishi presided over the token here and told me that you will come within a few days. She told me not to show any abnormality when facing you. If you don't notice it, I will pretend to be silent. If you find me and ask about this, let me tell you all the time."

I thought we were the clues we found this time, but after listening to Xingkong's story, we realized that after going around, the person who left us the key to Ye Bai was again.

After careful calculation, it was Ye Bai's original hint that made me understand the last sentence in ancient paintings. It was his secret conversation with Chunting that made Chunting confirm that he had a memory that was forgotten. Compared with him, both of us had missing some of the previous memories. Only he seemed to know the origin of all this.

I just don’t know what his identity is in this matter?

Chunting naturally could think of things that I could think of. Unlike my hard thinking, he did not doubt what Ye Bai did, but looked at Xingkong's eyes and bowed sincerely.

"Master, although there is a reason for our actions like this, we have deceived you after all. I hope the master will forgive you."

Xingkong quickly reached out to hold the Chunting Pavilion where the ceremony was held. He smiled slightly, and looked at his expression and didn't care at all.

"It's okay, the donor Yebai has already explained the causes and consequences to me. Huanghua Temple was originally built for that secret. My lineage should be like this. What's more, the donor rebuilt the temple, and the monks in the temple praised you all. What's the crime?"

Seeing our awkward expression, Xingkong's expression began to become serious. He spoke seriously and told us what happened next.

"Since the donor has already told me about my intention to come here, there is no need to worry about repairs. It is not advisable to go to Yique quickly to end this cycle of reincarnation that spans thousands of years. I am old and it is inconvenient to go with you. The donor hopes to forgive me."
