Chapter 7: Tianfo Temple
In fact, the car is not expensive, costing around 100,000. Bai Yuan and his wife do not have high expectations for a vehicle; as long as it serves as a means of transportation, that is sufficient. Therefore, they purchased this car.
Then, under his extreme reluctance, he washed up and was dragged by Liang Feng to Tianfo Temple
Five minutes, I will get up immediately after five minutes! Bai Yuan is good at everything, except for the habit of staying in bed, which he has not changed for decades.
It is rumored that this temple has been situated on that land since the Tang and Song dynasties. Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shiming, once designated a parcel of land, which included the surrounding ten mountains, to Tianfo Temple. As a result, Tianfo Temple gained immense fame, and its incense offerings have remained strong and enduring for over a thousand years
The elderly abbot, with hair completely white, suddenly opened his eyes and murmured, "It has come again!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but shake his head... Then he looked at the sky outside, and he could clearly see an astonishing aura of resentment swirling outside the temple...
Therefore, individuals who frequently visit temples tend to have much better health than the average person
"Master Liang, the abbot requests your presence along with your friend..." After a brief moment of surprise, the young monk regained his composure and politely responded.
Tang Yeyue watched Bai Yuan and Liang Feng enter the Tianfo Temple, her eyes revealing a sneer. However, more than that, there was a sense of gravity. In her era, Tianfo Temple was the foremost grand temple, home to countless eminent monks.
Moreover, she also has a blood oath with Bai Yuan that exists! ... A blood oath certified between heaven and earth ...
It is no wonder that Zhu Lin often comes to listen to the Abbot's teachings, and in the end, Liang Feng also joins in! He and Liang Feng are regulars here! The Abbot is quite fond of these two young men and takes good care of them! He opens the back door, allowing them to listen to his lectures and discussions on scriptures and philosophy, in order to cultivate their character and nurture their minds
Upon entering the abbot's room, Bai Yuan paused slightly
Does this signify something? Does it indicate that this year will be turbulent? Or does it suggest that there will be a great disaster this year?
"Gaoliang, what are you doing? Let me sleep a little longer! I stayed up late last night comparing and analyzing which house to buy for research! Just let me sleep for a bit!" Bai Yuan mumbled.
Liang Feng nodded and followed him and Bai Yuan to the abbot's room ... As for the shattered Buddha statue, naturally someone would clean it up
Various speculations continued! The young novice was also stunned by the scene before him, finally understanding why the abbot had called him over with a slight change in expression! ... To prevent them from kneeling ...
What is going on? Why did the statue of the Buddha suddenly explode?
The ancient palace, with clusters of old temples connected, resembles the residence of a prince from ancient times
"Then Master, is it possible to be transformed?" Bai Yuan asked eagerly
You need to think about your child and sister-in-law! However, it is merely a matter of sincere respect...
What are you standing there for? Kneel! Can't you see that everyone else is kneeling as well? Liang Feng knew that Bai Yuan's stubborn temper had flared up again and couldn't help but advise him
"You quickly go and invite the two young men who just arrived in, one of whom is Benefactor Liang..." The abbot said to a young monk behind him, clearly indicating that the abbot and these young monks were acquainted with Liang Feng
This is the first time Bai Yuan has stepped into a Buddhist temple; he originally did not believe in such things, but yesterday he did! ... The key point is that he also heard Tang Yue say that one sentence ...
Bai Yuan, influenced by Tang Yue, harbors a considerable amount of intangible resentment. The key point is that he is still a person bound by a blood oath. The Buddha statue merely serves as a vessel to absorb people's grievances, which can only be eliminated through chanting and transformation. This is also the reason why the interior of the Buddha statue is black. For thousands of years, the various grievances absorbed by the Buddha statue have reached their peak, and through the power of incense, they are gradually purified. However, for someone like Bai Yuan, recognized by heaven and earth as a person of blood oath, when his resentment surges, the Buddha statue is like a balloon filled with air, which then bursts with a loud bang.

Various reasons compelled him to believe
At this moment, Bai Yuan had already knelt down solemnly
"Don't be so impatient! I'll get up right away! You are quite something, Gao Liang! Just don't let me catch you in a compromising position!" Bai Yuan said as he flipped over like a carp and got up, speaking fiercely.
"Master Liang, it is not permissible..." At this moment, the young monk sent by the abbot arrived, panting heavily, but he was still too late
He did not consider converting her, for there is a predetermined order in the universe! He did not dare to interfere with the existence recognized by heaven and earth
A heavy resentment gathered at the center of the brow, overshadowing the top! After the abbot glanced at Bai Yuan when Liang Feng and Bai Yuan entered the room, he spoke with a serious expression.
In fact, Bai Yuan belongs to the car-owning class, but a few days ago, his car was borrowed by Liang Feng. Today, it is evident that he is a bit tired, and Liang Feng reluctantly took the driver's seat
A crisp sound echoed... The statue of Buddha suddenly cracked, a small fissure appearing at the top and rapidly spreading down to its feet, then with a thunderous crash, it shattered and collapsed into a pile of dust
On the 19th of February, the 19th of June, and the 19th of September during the * Book * Festival, the crowds here are particularly bustling! It is almost impossible to move against the flow!
Bai Yuan felt a slight aversion, for in his view, a man is born between heaven and earth, with his head held high to the sky and his feet firmly on the ground, kneeling to heaven, to the earth, and to his parents! ... No one else, be it person or object, is worthy of such reverence.
Even the scattered fragments of tiles exude an ancient aura! It is a mesmerizing scene! Surrounding the temple are many century-old trees, some of which require four adults to encircle! Monks and young novices weave through the temple, while a steady stream of visitors comes to light incense and pay their respects.
She watched from a distance, not daring to approach within a kilometer, for the spiritual energy of Tianfo Temple was too intense! Although she was protected by a century's worth of resentment and hostility, it was still insufficient to instill fear in the incense energy that had accumulated over a thousand years.
No one noticed that a dent had appeared in the back seat of the car, which, upon closer inspection, looked exactly like a person sitting there! However, Bai Yuan and Liang Feng were completely unaware of it
As soon as they entered, Liang Feng pulled Bai Yuan directly into the main hall and then whispered, "Big Cabbage, quickly bow down! Pray to the Buddha, pray to the Bodhisattva to send down spirits for you! May you be blessed with peace..."
Alas, it has indeed happened! The abbot could not help but let out a sigh in the room
Anomalies have emerged
"Aren't you getting up? I will call my sister-in-law and tell her about Tang Yue's situation..." Liang Feng also stopped calling and took out his phone, starting to operate it with a flurry of taps.
At the moment Bai Yuan and Liang Feng stepped through the temple gate, a peculiar sensation suddenly arose among some of the high monks within the temple It seemed as if something destined was approaching
Why do Buddha statues shatter for no apparent reason? Could it be...
The second and the third days are Sundays
Is this the Tianfo Temple? Bai Yuan stared blankly at the three gilded characters before him, somewhat taken aback. This was his first visit to the Tianfo Temple, and he was overwhelmed by the grandeur and magnificence of the scene before him
Then what else could it be? Do you think I called you so early for no reason? If you come late, there will be even more people! Liang Feng closed the car door properly and walked into the temple with Bai Yuan
Early in the morning, Liang Feng rushed to Bai Yuan's home! He declined the kind invitation from Bai Yuan's parents to have breakfast! He pulled Bai Yuan, who was still on a date with the daughter of the God of Dreams, Zhou Meng, out of bed!
Outside, Tang Yue felt a surge of resentment, overwhelming and tumultuous, greatly affecting her
Looking at the constant flow of people, Bai Yuan couldn't help but exclaim, "So many people?"
"Do not look anymore. Can you take that plaque away? That plaque has a significant history; it is inscribed in the handwriting of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and is now a priceless treasure!" Liang Feng, seeing Bai Yuan's shocked expression, couldn't help but mutter that he had been far more flustered than Bai Yuan during his first visit.
Upon entering, Bai Yuan was immediately greeted by the fragrance of incense, which invigorated his spirit and refreshed his mind. He felt a surge of energy... He was secretly astonished; the temple truly deserved its reputation as the most sacred place... In fact, he did not notice that as soon as he stepped through the temple gate, the dark mist surrounding his brow had dissipated by thirty percent...
After a millennium of wind and sun, the stone platform of Tianfo Temple is imbued with an air of ancient simplicity. Each tier of the steps exudes a sense of the passage of time. The vermilion columns are adorned with numerous exquisite engravings. These are all testimonies to the scenes of Tianfo Temple.
The people who came to pay their respects suddenly became frantic, all appearing somewhat dazed, unable to reconcile the reality before them... It was as if a pot had boiled over, with discussions erupting everywhere...
"No, Big Cabbage, do not forget! We are going to Tianfo Temple today! You must get up immediately, right now! Otherwise, I will throw you into the bathroom!" Liang Feng said decisively.
From ancient times to the present, there has never been a shortage of devoted believers. As major economic provinces, H City and C City are particularly significant within the province, having historically served as centers for economic exchange. Therefore, it is difficult for Tianfo Temple not to gain fame
Wow
Tianfo Temple is located at the junction of City H and City C
Bai Yuan's parents both know Liang Feng and are aware of the close relationship between him and Bai Yuan. Moreover, they have watched Liang Feng grow up. They did not ask many questions because they are very open-minded. The world of young people has its own joys, thoughts, and ways of doing things. As long as they are doing well, the elders will not say much.
Bai Yuan was taken aback, then slowly knelt down on one knee
No! They are destined to meet! It is best for outsiders not to interfere!" The abbot shook his head and said
In fact, they are also individuals on the path of cultivation, merely having traveled further than ordinary people! Yet they receive the worship of the eternal populace! I wonder if they can bear it?" Bai Yuan's gaze was piercing.
Bai Yuan's pupils contracted sharply, and he clearly saw the moment he knelt down. The Buddha statue seemed to endure immense resistance and suffering. Even the expression on the Buddha's face appeared somewhat distorted and menacing. To the ordinary person, an aura of black mist emerged from the top of the Buddha statue, which was quickly absorbed by the surrounding sculptures. Subsequently, the originally solemn figures of the other Buddha statues appeared somewhat sinister and malevolent. These subtle changes were completely imperceptible to the average person
However, it seems that the young novice was a step too late
