122. Fortune telling (1/2)
The deep blue sky connects the snowy tops of the mountains, lingering down, forming a vast plateau. Google search reading
In the wilderness, there are mounds and stone forests.
Blockhouse-like stone blockhouses stand against the stone mountain.
On the four roofs of the blockhouse, black, white or red sutra curtains hang down, with gold paint used to outline characters that look like snakes and insects.
A stone wall runs across the front of many tower houses, dividing the inside and outside of the stone wall into two worlds.
In the middle of the stone wall, there is a mountain gate.
The stone steps winding down from the mountain become the tongue sticking out of the mountain gate.
Bang!
The two guarding monks behind him worked together to lock the two giant doors. The sound of the giant doors colliding 'awoke' 'Zhuo Jie'.
‘Zhuojie’’s eyes gradually became clearer as he looked at the various monastery and meditation rooms inside the mountain gate.
Walking in front, the skinny Guangfa turned to look at 'Zhuo Jie' and saw that he was still stunned in place, and shouted: "Tianhai, what are you still doing there?
Come up! "
"Ah, yes!"
Zhuo Jie, whose name was Tianhai, was disguised as Su Wu and responded. Under the gaze of Guang Fa, he lowered his head and followed.
"Why do you feel like you're a different person?" Guangfa frowned and looked at Su Wu, who was walking with his head lowered.
When Su Wu heard this, he deliberately made a panicked expression: "Ah? I was standing here just now, how could I suddenly look like a different person?"
Guangfa stared at the panicked Su Wu for several seconds.
He nodded, turned around and walked forward: "I was wrong. I thought you had some realization just now, but you felt much calmer in an instant.
Looking at it now, he is still a young boy. "
Su Wu followed Zhuo Jie but did not answer.
When he first entered the Sims, he had not yet assumed the role of 'Zhuojie', so his original temperament was revealed. No wonder Guangfa would say so.
But, having said that,
Guangfa can instantly realize that he is different from before, as if he is a different person. This shows that his perception is sharp and he can see subtle things.
The last time I entered the simulation of 'Zhuo Jie's Past Life', I was confused about everything.
Unlike now, I have experienced several weird events and tolerated the weirdness. My mentality is naturally very different from the last time.
"I will take you to the Discipline Academy to record the Buddhist title first.
Then someone will take you to receive the ordination. At that time, you just follow the instructions of the guiding monk. "Standing at the door of a monastery, Guangfa pointed to the three characters carved on the stone wall above the monastery and said to Su Wu.
Those three characters, like snakes and insects crawling, should be the three characters "Discipline Academy" in the native characters of the secret area.
"It all depends on the master's arrangements." Su Wu nodded in agreement.
The two of them walked into the Discipline Academy one after the other.
On the way, many monks wearing cockscomb hats and dark yellow robes could be seen. When they saw Guangfa striding towards him, they all stopped on the roadside to salute.
He is known as ‘Uncle Lawyer’.
Su Wu guessed that the word "discipline" in front of this title should refer to Guangfa's position in Wuxiang Zunneng Temple.
They should mainly master the precepts in the Dharma Temple and do things that reward good deeds and punish bad deeds.
——This general conclusion can be drawn from the respectful and fearful expressions of the yellow-robed monks when facing Guangfa.
There are not many monks walking back and forth in the monastery.
Seven or eight out of ten were wearing yellow monk robes.
Occasionally, I see one or two monks wearing red coats and yellow monk robes, with strings of beads hanging from the cockscomb hats on their heads, and a chicken fat-colored star and moon Bodhi hanging around their necks. They will also stop when they pass by Guangfa and Su Wu. Put your hands together and salute.
Among them, the elders are mostly comparable to their peers in Guangfa.
The younger ones still call Guangfa his uncle.
When they faced Guangfa, their expressions were still respectful, but they were no longer as nervous as those yellow-robed monks.
"The red-robed monk has a higher status than the yellow-robed monk, but still not as high as Guangfa. When Guangfa passes by these monks, they all have to stop and salute.
However, Guangfa raised his head high and didn't even return the courtesy. "
Su Wu wrote down this detail.
Guangfa led Su Wu forward,
Walking aggressively,
Gradually, we approached the deepest part of the monastery.
Sutras on both sides are surrounded by a Buddhist hall in the middle.
The Buddhist hall has three doors.
Only the left hall door is open, while the middle and right hall doors are closed and locked. Waves of fragrant and sweet aroma waft out from the Buddhist hall.
That's the smell of incense.
Different from ordinary incense, the Tibetan incense in the secret area has always been famous far and wide. When you meditate, light one and smell the aroma, which seems to cleanse your soul.
——In fact, it is all the psychological effect of oneself.
Smelling too much of this aroma can be harmful to the human body.
At this time,
Guangfa, who was walking in front, stopped.
A pot-bellied monk in red robes walked out of the side door of the Buddhist hall. He had a round face and no cockscomb hat on his head, showing a layer of fine hair on his head.
The monk walked down the steps of the temple,
Master Guangfa in front of Su Wu clasped his hands and bowed in salute: "Brother Dean Dong."
Finally, a monk appeared who could allow Guangfa to perform the walking ceremony.
This monk’s position is the elder of the East Dean.
Could it be that the east courtyard is the Discipline Academy?
The elders who control an entire discipline academy?
Could it be that this elder from the East Dean was one of the two elders who 'invited' Guangfa out of Wuxiang Zunneng Temple?
Thoughts were swirling in his mind, but Su Wu's hands were not slow at all.
He then bowed and saluted.
Because he has not officially entered the Dharma Temple and has not been registered as a Dharma name, Su Wu is not yet a formal disciple of Wuxiang Zunneng Temple, and he does not know how to call this 'Elder of the East Dean' who is walking towards him.
He simply bowed and didn't address her.
"Guangfa,
The Venerable has not yet passed away and reincarnated, and is still dying.
It's the right time for you to come back now. "The elder of the East Dean with a big belly and a round face walked up to Guangfa and said a few words expressionlessly, "However, the matter of the reincarnation of the soul boy has been settled.
Follow the law and don't stir up disputes. "
"How could this be?" Guangfa raised his head and looked at the elder of the East Dean, his eyes shocked and angry.
“We are no longer obsessed with asking His Holiness to be reincarnated into the family of the ‘Pazola Hutuktu Nobles’;
The Venerable also gave up reincarnation and entered the home of "Changyun Zongben".
After the Venerable passes away, his reincarnated soul boy will appear near the waters of the ‘Xiong Lake’ in the southwest of the Secret Realm. "The elder of Dongyuan said so.
Su Wu's mind was filled with confusion after hearing his words.
What is the ‘Pazzola Hutuktu Nobility’?
What does ‘Changyun Zongben’ mean?
What's the difference between the two?
It seems that in addition to the forces of the monasteries and monasteries, there are at least two major forces in the secret area: the great nobles and the sect.
After leaving the simulation this time, I need to learn more about the history, culture and other knowledge of the Hidden Area in various aspects, so as to avoid being confused like I am now.
After hearing the words of the elder of Dongyuan, Guangfa calmed down.
With a cold face, he turned to Su Wu and said, "Tianhai, go to the Buddhist hall in front and ask the monks to record the Dharma name for you and accept the ordination."
Although Su Wu still wanted to know more about the power succession dispute in the 'Wuxiang Zunneng Temple' to see if there was any opportunity of his own.
But the master had already given the order, and his disciple could only obey, so he nodded in agreement, lowered his head and walked towards the Buddhist hall in front of which the sweet fragrance was constantly wafting.
Guangfa's voice sounded behind him: "Brother Dean Dong, I would like to see His Holiness, and I would like to ask Brother Dean Dong to introduce him to you."
"Can."
The two of them left together.
Su Wu stepped into the Buddhist hall.
In the Buddhist hall, green incense curls up and the fragrance floats.
Several yellow-robed monks were cleaning the incense table and sweeping the floor with brooms, rags and other supplies.
A statue of a god is facing the entrance of the hall.
It was shrouded in darkness, and it was not until Su Wu stepped into the Buddhist hall that he saw the true appearance of the statue: the statue had a bird's head and a body, with a pair of golden wings spread out behind it, and its four arms might be holding a bloody bull's head;
Or clutching a bone bowl made like a human skull;
Or lifting a skeleton;
Or holding a bloody red lotus flower.
The statue has three eagle-claw-like feet, stepping on a piece of leather. The leather looks like a tiger skin, with interlaced patterns and colorful patterns.
But what is connected to the tiger skin's neck is not the tiger's head.
But a woman's head!
The woman's hair was long and disheveled, and she was placed facing the palace door. Her eyes would blink from time to time, and she would occasionally open her mouth to nibble on the fruits offered in front of her.
Seeing Su Wu looking at her, she even gave Su Wu a wink!
--What is this?
Su Wu was surprised.
In this Buddhist hall, he didn't feel any strange charm lingering, and he didn't notice anything unusual from the woman's head with a piece of colorful tiger skin attached to it.
But the scene he saw now was clearly extremely strange.
Not to mention the still-living woman’s head placed at the foot of the bird-headed three-legged statue, let’s just talk about what the statue is holding in its four hands:
The bull's head kept dripping blood and fell into the large vat next to the incense table. Most of the vat's blood had already accumulated - but how could such a large amount of blood flow out of just a cow's head?
Human skull bowls, skeletons, etc., after Su Wu had a brief understanding of Buddhism in the Vajrayana Realm, he knew that this kind of thing was a routine operation in the Vajrayana Realm, so it was not surprising.
The second thing that made Su Wu feel scary and weird,
It is a bloody lotus held by a bird-headed and three-legged statue.
This lotus keeps emitting blood-red light like breathing,
Take a closer look,
The thing in the middle of the lotus is still squirming like a living thing, and there seems to be a deep portal inside!
——The bird-headed statue itself is just a clay statue.
What’s really weird is the four things it tramples under its feet and holds in its hands!
The Secret Realm is a bit evil to begin with, and coupled with the current weird situation everywhere, you can't take it lightly just because you are at a safe save point.
Su Wu glanced at several yellow-robed monks in the Buddhist hall.
Just as he was about to ask the monk in front about recording Dharma names and giving ordination, a yellow-robed monk who was wiping the incense table came over, bowed to Su Wu and said: "Uncle's disciple, please follow me. Come and record the Dharma name.”
"Okay." Su Wu bowed in return.
Followed behind the handsome yellow-robed monk.
Under the guidance of the yellow-robed monk, Su Wu walked around the bird-headed statue and walked into the small door behind the statue.
The light all around suddenly dimmed,
In the room behind the small door, there was a red-robed monk sitting cross-legged on the Zen bed. His face was wrinkled and his skin was as loose as chicken skin. He was extremely old.
Seeing the yellow-robed monk leading Su Wu in,
The old monk didn't even raise his eyelids and asked slowly: "What is the name of the Dharma?"
The yellow-robed monk looked at Su Wu,
Su Wu immediately understood, took a step forward, bowed and saluted in a dignified manner: "Master Guangfa gave me the name of the Dharma, 'Tianhai'."
"Oh,
Tianhai."
The old monk nodded and wrote the word "Tianhai" in vermilion on the book on the table in front of him.
Then, he dragged a wooden box behind the meditation bed with great effort.
Su Wu wanted to go up to help, but was stopped by the yellow-robed monk, who stopped him with his eyes.
The old monk opened the box and showed several items inside.
A silver-plated human skull bowl inlaid with gems,
a prayer wheel,
a round iron box covered with a thick layer of incense ash.
The old monk stood up the prayer wheel. The pictures and texts wrapped on the prayer wheel were not the usual "Six-Character Great Bright Mantra", but six patterns such as flower crown, ox head, human figure, and skull.
"Tianhai,
recite the Six-Character Great Bright Mantra and push the prayer wheel."
The old monk ordered.
"Om Mani Padme Hum..." Su Wu also learned some common sense of the secret Buddhist sect, and naturally knew what the Six-Character Great Bright Mantra was.
Hearing this, he immediately recited without stopping.
At the same time, his palm touched the prayer wheel and pushed it.
Huh!
The prayer wheel started to turn in an instant.
Su Wu's palm touched the prayer wheel, and he immediately felt that as the prayer wheel turned, his consciousness also followed it into the wheel, and he saw the bizarre pictures like a kaleidoscope!
It is difficult to describe those pictures in words.
It only lasted for a moment, and then they all disappeared without a trace.
The prayer wheel stopped turning.
A pattern was facing Su Wu - it was the flower crown pattern in the six pictures.
"Oh." The old monk also took a look at the pattern, nodded, and pushed the round iron box covered with a thick layer of incense ash to Su Wu, "Press the left palm print on it."
At this time,
Su Wu had already determined that the old monk was "reading his fate" for him.
He was now under the identity of "Zhuo Jie". In the simulation, although his consciousness was his own, his fate was still Zhuo Jie's fate.
The final result of the fortune-telling naturally belonged to Zhuo Jie.
What did Zhuo Jie finally do?
Why can the Gangdong made of his hand bones tear the shadow and turn into the "Hand of the Corpse Demon"?
These questions may be answered in his fortune-telling words.
Su Wu is not in a hurry to "tell his own fortune".
He can also abandon this save file and go through the Sims again from the place where Zhuo Jie started to escape. At that time, he can experience the simulation in person, replace Zhuo Jie's identity, and "tell his own fortune".
There is always a way to go.
After going through the fortune-telling process, you can sell this process to the simulator and earn Yuanyu.
According to the old monk's instructions, Su Wu pressed his palm on the layer of incense ash, leaving a palm print.
Then,
the old monk poured all the incense ash in the iron box into the human skull bowl.
He closed the bone bowl, took out a black felt cloth, spread it on the table, and then began to shake the bone bowl constantly, spitting out unclear syllables from his mouth.
Even if Su Wu concentrated and listened,
he couldn't hear clearly what he was saying.
It would be great if this method of fortune-telling could be brought into reality.
There are some imperceptible holes at the bottom of the bone bowl. As the old monk keeps shaking the bone bowl, incense ash falls from it and falls on the black felt cloth, gradually forming some messy lines that seem to contain some information.
"Lingzang fate." The old monk put down the bone bowl, looked at the pattern on the incense ash, and said so.
