The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 2074
I had no choice but to hold the golden Buddha fetus in my arms, and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, and I'll accompany you in."

I don't know if my actions played a role, or my words gave him a backbone, and his fear was greatly relieved.

At this time, I wanted to see what was inside. It seemed that Yang Ze didn't need to lie to me at this time. If the Golden Buddha enters to save the life of an island, then doing so is also a correct choice.

Seeing that I persuaded the golden Buddha fetus, Yang Ze also heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly led us into the old ancestral temple.

After entering, my vision improved a lot. I raised my head first and saw a statue standing in the middle of the main hall.

The statue is wearing Taoist robes, holding a sword in its right hand, and holding something in its left hand, which looks like a seal.However, this person in a Taoist robe doesn't look like a Taoist priest at all. He has three eyes on his face, and sharp teeth and fangs, looking like a vicious spirit.

Seeing this statue, the golden Buddha fetus in my arms suddenly became agitated again.It seems that what frightens the golden Buddha fetus is this unknown god statue.

Fortunately, I was there, and I kept comforting the golden Buddha's fetus, so that he gradually settled down again.

I looked at the statue and asked, "Island Master, is this statue the Patriarch?"

Yang Ze nodded: "That's right, he is also known as the ancestor of Fengdu. According to legend, the ancestor of Fengdu was both good and evil, and he appeared in many famous battles in ancient times. Sometimes he stood on the side of justice, and sometimes he stood on the side of justice. On the side of evil. However, there has not been an accurate definition of good and evil since ancient times. Both sides in the war will call themselves the side of justice, and it depends on which angle you look at the problem, right? Every time he goes into battle, he is invincible and kills countless people. It is said that he has a yin tiger talisman in his hand, which can command thousands of corpse soldiers and yin soldiers. Wherever he goes, the entire battlefield is full of blood. A veritable killer."

It turns out that the name of this statue is Patriarch Fengdu.So, what looks like an official seal in his hand is the so-called Yinhu Talisman?

Yang Ze continued: "It is said that the ancestor of Fengdu killed countless people during his lifetime, and he was extremely violent after death. I found a yin mountain in the underworld for him. That yin mountain was named Fengshan, so it was named Fengdu Patriarch. Judging from the name, although this Fengdu is not Bifengdu, it also shows that Fengdu Patriarch It can even be compared with the master of Fengdu City."

I looked at the god statue and said, "If you kill a god like this, you must be honoring him and honoring him in Qisha Island, right?"

Yang Ze nodded: "That's right. Our Qisha Island is famous for killing, and it is the same as the ancestor of Fengdu. It is normal to respect him. On the seven islands of our Qisha Island, there are such The old ancestral temple. But we are ignorant, we only know one thing and don’t know the other. After we built the old ancestral temple, we felt that we might have made a mistake.”

I was taken aback: "Wrong? Where did I go wrong?"

Yang Ze said: "After we built the Ancestral Temple, we naturally had to erect the statue of the Ancestor in Fengdu. But we found that even if the statue was painted every six months, the paint on it would fade quickly. At first we thought it was because of the climate and humidity, but later we found out that this was not the case. So we invited the Fengshui masters in Taoism to see it, and only then did we know other things about the ancestor of Fengdu. It turned out that the ancestor of Fengdu After cultivating in Fengshan, every time he realizes that he killed too much during his lifetime, so he started to practice Buddhism. He wanted to use Buddhism to punish himself, but who knew that the ancestor of Fengdu had a very high Buddha-nature, and he even cultivated the five eyes in the later period .”

"Cultivated five eyes?"

"That's right. You can now see that the statue has three eyes on its face, but there are actually two eyes behind its head. So this statue has five eyes in total, which are called five eyes and six senses. Do you know that this statue was originally erected At that time, there were only two normal eyes, and the remaining three eyes were formed slowly over time."

"Ah? You mean, the other three eyes grew out of the statue itself?"

"You can also say that." Yang Ze looked at the ancestor of Fengdu in awe, and continued to explain: "The five eyes of Buddhism" refer to the five abilities of the naked eye, the sky eye, the wisdom eye, the Dharma eye and the Buddha eye; "It refers to the power of divine feet, the power of heavenly ears, the power of heavenly eyes, the power of other minds, the power of destiny, and the power of wisdom and evidence.Anyway, this is an allusion of Buddhism, and I only know a little superficial, and I don't understand the esoteric principles. "

I nodded and said: "That is to say, in fact, the ancestor Fengdu has turned to the Buddha later and no longer wants to kill. You must have established him as the ancestor. You must have established the wrong god, and it also violated the original intention of the ancestor Fengdu."

Yang Ze sighed and said: "Yes, but at that time we only knew one thing and didn't know the other. We only knew that the ancestor of Fengdu was a god of killing, but we didn't know that he was doing good. We still established him as our ancestor here, even more It is against the original intention of the ancestor. It is said that after the ancestor turned to the Buddha in the later period, he hated what he did in his lifetime. So he thought of a way to eliminate his sins in his lifetime as much as possible. He will At the same time of practice, I go to the world from time to time, and if I find someone who is bloodthirsty, I will punish him. The way of punishment is to let that person kill himself with a sword to thank the world. Some people say that the person who kills himself with a sword is actually the old man. Zu himself, that is the shadow of his life. He used this method to atone for himself. In short, there are different opinions on this statement, and there are various versions."

"Hengjian slays himself?" I was taken aback when I heard that. I have been to that ancient altar by the sea, and I have seen a stone statue on it.The shape of the stone statue is the image of a person facing the sea and cutting himself with a horizontal sword.

Yang Ze glanced at me and said, "You must have seen that stone statue, yes, that is the image of the ancestor of Fengdu before his death."

I was taken aback, waved my hands and said, "Please ask me, what age is this Fengdu Patriarch?"

"It should be in the Sui Dynasty, and some say it was earlier..."

"No matter which dynasty he belongs to, he is always from the ancient times, right? You have never been to ancient times, how do you know that the stone statue is the image of the ancestor of Fengdu himself in his lifetime?"

Yang Ze smiled: "Of course I know, not only do I know, I also personally visited the ancestor of Fengdu himself."

Ju Chengan and I looked at each other, and then at Yang Ze, we both thought he was talking crazy.The ancestor of Fengdu was already dead, even if he was the ancestor of Fengdu in some Fengshan, he was only a figure living in legends.Just like King Yama of the underworld, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, etc., whoever wants to say that he has visited these characters in person, unless he is already dead.It is possible to have this opportunity after becoming a ghost, but in that world, no living person has ever been there, so who can say what it must be like?
