Chapter 1077: The Tower of the Nameless Leads to Heresy
"Brother, I think this tower is weird, it seems that something is calling me......"
Is this tower weird?
Hearing this, Yu Rongdu turned his main attention to this Leifeng Tower. This tower is actually very strange to say, because it is not the normal shape of the tower we are familiar with, but it is generally a little like a tower, in fact, strictly speaking, it is like a layer of attic, but it is only eight sides.
While holding Bai Suzhen, he asked Fahai, "This tower seems to be a little weird!"
Fahai explained with a smile, "This shape of a tower is indeed rare, but this is a tower. The tower is divided into many kinds according to a variety of form and structure, including the pavilion tower, the dense eaves tower, the bowl tower, the King Kong throne tower, the treasure seal tower, the five-wheel tower, the multi-treasure tower, etc., and this Leifeng tower is the most primitive form of the attic tower, so in your opinion, he is more similar to the pavilion than the tower. ”
"Oh," Yu Rongdu paused slightly, he had never heard of this, maybe because he was only a little learned, but he looked up at the dense number of layers, counted it, and didn't know why he didn't count it clearly, so he couldn't help but ask with some curiosity, "How many layers is this tower?"
Fahai's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Thirty-three layers!"
Bai Suzhen suddenly interjected at this time and asked, "I have heard that the earliest pagodas were generally three-storey, five-storey, seven-storey, and later seventh-storey, ninth-storey, thirteenth-storey, and even thirty-seventh-story pagodas, which are all relatively common in Buddhism, but why is this building thirty-three?"
Of course, this is what Yu Rongdu wants to ask.
He didn't know the shape requirements in Buddhism, and he didn't know what kind of tower needed to be built and how many floors, but he also knew that if he mentioned the thirty-three days, the first reaction would be the thirty-three layers of heaven in Taoism!
Fahai was also a little speechless for a while, because he really couldn't explain why this tower would be such a layer, so he had to say with some strong words, "In my Western Buddhism, the Elysium itself is divided into thirty-three heavens, and this naturally has the number of thirty-three, presumably when this Jinshan Temple was built, there was an ancient sect in my Western Buddhism that built it specifically for its own inheritance!"
This explanation is neither good nor bad, because it is somewhat inexplicable in itself.
But Yu Rongdu instinctively sensed the problem here. It is the legend of this tower that seems to be hidden.
"Amitabha...... Two donors, I haven't seen you for a long time," a familiar voice made Yu Rongdu and Bai Suzhen both look at the comer.
This sentence made Bai Suzhen very surprised, because he didn't know this person at all, but Yu Rongdu was overjoyed, because this old monk was the original master of the Jinshan Temple.
Yu Rongdu hurriedly clasped his hands together and said, "I've seen the Zen master." ”
After Fa Yuan glanced at Fahai, he didn't say anything, and directly expressed this opposing atmosphere, and looked at the Leifeng Pagoda with deep meaning before he said to Yu Rongdu, "Lord Yu is interested in this tower?"
Yu Rongdu nodded and said, "Of course, I am happy to see the hunt for a while." ”
Fa Yuan thought for a while, and then said with a slight smile, "Actually, Master Yu, you are wrong, this Leifeng Pagoda is not my Jinshan Temple at all, but an ownerless thing!"
"Ah, what? really?" Bai Suzhen suddenly asked in surprise.
"Of course it's true. Fa Yuan glanced at Fahai and said, "This tower is not my Jinshan Temple, although this tower makes my Jinshan Temple famous, and it is also used by my Jinshan Temple." But this tower is indeed not my Jinshan Temple. Because this tower existed before the construction of Jinshan Temple, and I don't know how long it existed, it is almost the same as it is now. ”
"So, strictly speaking, we don't know what the name of this tower is!" Fa Yuan just said slowly. But the words that came out made Fahai's face redden, and then he flicked his sleeves, ignoring them and turned away.
Fa Yuan looked at Fahai's departing figure, smiled noncommittally, and then said to Yu Rongdu, "Lord Yu came here to return the relics?"
Yu Rongdu nodded a little puzzled. But he didn't know what to say, after all, the battle between this Fayuan and Fahai should be regarded as a papal battle within Western Buddhism itself, this kind of struggle is the most cruel, if it can be avoided, Yu Rongdu really doesn't want to be contaminated.
Fa Yuan waved his hand and said, "Yu Daoyou actually doesn't have to, since this thing has been given to you, it is related to you, my Buddhism talks about cause and effect, this is cause and effect, Yu Shizhu sent it back like this, but it seems that you have a bad heart, this is considered to be cause and effect?"
Yu Rongdu looked at Fa Yuan with a smile, a little unincomprehensible to what the other party meant. Just stared blankly at the Fayuan monk.
Monk Fayuan thought for a while before saying to Yu Rongdu, "It is by oneself that cultivates to become a Buddha, not the relics left by the previous generation of Buddhas. Since it is sent out, it is naturally given to you, and without this thing, then naturally no one will think about it anymore, no one will think about it, and naturally it is to practice meditation according to the heart. Did Yu Daoyou ever understand?"
Yu Rongdu was stunned for a moment, and then he understood why the Fayuan monk did not deal with this Fahai monk, the road dispute between the two may have been a long time, one advocated relying on himself, and the other thought that since there were relics, of course they had to use it. In short, this incident made Yu Rongdu realize that it was really not the right time for him to send it back.
Fahai is the second generation, and he has also used all kinds of cause and effect, relationships, and qualifications to cultivate to the point where he is today, and the speed can be described as rapid, but the source of the same cultivation is a little penance. Both of them represent the leaders of the younger generation of Buddhist disciples, and this method of cultivation will naturally have to fight.
Now it seems that it is the local monk Fayuan of Jinshan Temple who has the upper hand.
Yu Rongdu smiled and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, I don't know, Fayuan Zen Master, Bai Daoyou and I want to visit this Leifeng Pagoda, I don't know if it can be accommodating?"
Monk Fayuan stopped the return of the five relics at once, and even found out that this Yu Rongdu respected him, which made him feel that he had a special face, and he couldn't help but laugh and said, "There is nothing important in this Leifeng Tower, it's just an empty tower." Since Taoist friends want to visit, even if they go, I don't know if they still need the company of poor monks?"
"Don't dare to have Master Lao, don't dare to have Master Lao," Yu Rongdu said with a smile, "We just have a casual visit, and we don't mean anything else." We'll just have to look around for ourselves. ”
After separating from the Fayuan monk, Yu Rongdu pulled Bai Suzhen and slowly walked into the door that had been opened by Fayuan, and said to Bai Suzhen, "Now, we can take a good look at the true identity of this Leifeng Pagoda......
