Chapter 015 - Bodhi

　　"What's wrong with you?" Pang Bo's voice came into Ye Fan's ears and was shaking his shoulder hard. 　　Ye Fan woke up as if in a dream, where was the sound of Buddha, where was the Zen singing, the ancient temple was still there, accumulating a thick layer of dust, while the others party as if they had not heard it. 　　"Is it really the Great Thunder Sound Temple?" He whispered softly to himself, what he had just heard and seen, although brief, why was it so real? It caused him to go out of his mind for a while, pondering over it. 　　Ye Fan gazed at the bronze ancient lamp in his hand, but there was no longer any special feeling, there were some patterns engraved on it, ancient and natural, plain and uneventful, without the slightest abnormality. 　　"Bushel!" A male student searched out an old futon from a pile of ashes, the years had not been able to wear it out. 　　Not long after, another female student retrieved a rosewood rosary bead from under a thick layer of dust, which had not been damaged in the slightest by the wear and tear of time; after blowing away the dust, it still had a faint luster. 　　At the same time, Cade found half of a broken wooden fish in the dust in front of the stone Buddha, on which there were three bodhisattvas carved, either solemn, or compassionate, lifelike. 　　At this moment, Ye Fan pondered, if this place was really that Great Thunder Sound Temple from the legend, then it was a place abandoned by the gods, and all the artifacts unearthed should be extraordinary! 　　"Dang!" 　　Prince Wen's foot felt like it had kicked something, emitting a metallic trill and peeling away the gray soil in that corner, revealing a broken bronze bell that could be as big as a palm, missing a piece of the bell wall and in an ancient style. 　　"When ......" he shook the copper bell, there was a melodious bell sound coming out, like the sound of Buddha lingering, tranquilizing the mind. 　　Ye Fan was interrupted from his thoughts, he couldn't help but look towards the bronze bell, which was engraved with a flowing cloud pattern, with Zen in its simplicity, and condensed with Buddhist rhythm. 　　Pang Bo mumbled softly, he entered the ancient temple first, but did not find anything, it can only be said that he was unlucky. 　　Almost at the same time, Li Xiaoman in the stone Buddha's feet to find half of the jade ruyi, wipe off the dust, crystal clear jade suddenly flowed a little light. 　　The ancient temple appeared to be empty, but several people found artifacts under the accumulated dust, and the others immediately acted quickly and searched for them. 　　Ye Fan did not care about those artifacts, the only immaculate, intact, long-lasting bronze ancient lamp in the ancient temple was in his hand, and the other artifacts obviously could not be compared to it. 　　"I don't believe I can't find anything ......" Pang Bo grunted. 　　"You search carefully here, and whatever artifacts you find, put them away." Ye Fan handed the ancient lamp to Pang Bo so that he could search with the help of the light, although he couldn't see what was so divine about these broken Buddhist artifacts for the time being, he knew that if there were really gods in the world, these things must be extraordinary! 　　Ye Fan handed the copper lamp to Pang Bo for the time being, while he himself stepped out of the ancient hall and walked towards the Bodhi tree in front of the temple. At this point, he had gotten rid of his original mindset and temporarily convinced himself that deities really existed. 　　Since the ancient temple was the Great Thunder Sound Temple, how could the Bodhi Tree that accompanied it be missed? If there was a Buddha in the world, that dried up ancient tree must be extraordinary! 　　The Bodhi tree is a sacred tree of Buddhism. According to the Records of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty, the Buddha once told Ananda that there were three objects in the world that should be worshipped ...... the Buddha's bone relics, the statue of the Buddha, and the Bodhi tree. 　　Because, Buddha became Taoist under the Bodhi tree, seeing the Bodhi tree is like seeing Buddha. 　　In front of the eyes of this dried up ancient tree as strong as a gnarled dragon, six or seven people can not be hugged over the main trunk of the hollow, the only one drooping to the ground two or three meters away from the withered branches hanging six sides of the green leaves, crystalline flash, such as green onyx like translucent. 　　Regardless of whether or not this ancient tree was related to Buddha, the six jade-like leaves alone were enough to show that it was extraordinary. 　　Ye Fan came under the tree and carefully surveyed the ancient Bodhi tree, the huge branches were almost completely pressed above the ancient temple, if it was full of branches and leaves, one could imagine the sight that would cover the sky. 　　At this moment, Ye Fan's heart stirred, he found that the six crystalline green leaves had dots of invisible green haze rippling out, a small portion of it drifted towards the direction of the five-colored altar in the distance, while most of it disappeared into the roots of the tree. 　　The green haze was dotted and shaped like silk, constantly overflowing from the six green leaves, giving one a sense of a breath of life, with endless vigorous vitality flowing. 　　Ye Fan squatted down and peeled away the soil at the root of the tree, wanting to see what was underneath that could condense the green haze overflowing from the Bodhi leaves. 　　Under the soil, he did not see anything extraordinary, just found a bodhi seed, no light flashing, no Hua convergence, no Xia lingering, gray color ordinary, not pay attention to the words will be mistaken for dirt. 　　The only special thing is its size, ordinary linden is only the size of a fingernail cap, but this gray linden is as big as a walnut. 　　Ye Fan was astonished, could it be that the green haze overflowing from the linden leaf was absorbed by it? After observing for a moment, he only saw the silky green haze flowing down and disappearing three inches away from this bodhi seed. 　　Although it hadn't been seen absorbing the essence of the bodhi leaf, it was almost confirmed that it was caused by it. 　　Ye Fan held this linden in his palm, and after carefully observing it, he revealed a shocked look, the natural lines on this gray and ordinary linden were connected together surprisingly to be a compassionate Buddha! 　　The Buddha was made in heaven, completely natural textures intersected, but it was as if it had been carefully carved on it. 　　The grayish Buddha figure was ancient and natural, with a hidden Zen rhythm emanating from it. 　　"A natural Buddha diagram, could it be that two thousand five hundred years ago, Siddhartha Gautama was really certified because of the Bodhi Tree?" 　　The Bodhi Tree, which had another name, was the Tree of Wisdom, the Tree of Enlightenment, and the Tree of Thinking, and was said to unlock one's divinity and enlighten one's self. 　　Ye Fan raised this Bodhi Seed high above his head and met the six green leaves on it, the green haze overflowed a lot faster and the vibrant aura got thicker and thicker, all of them focused towards the Bodhi Seed, of course the light still disappeared three inches away from it. 　　"Boo!" 　　A soft sound came from a crystal bodhi leaf flowing out the last of its green haze before shattering, turning into flying ash and drifting down. 　　At this point, Ye Fan was finally convinced that the Bodhi Seed looked bland, but it was very extraordinary, and put it away in a precious way. 　　At this time, he noticed that there was a lot of powder on the ground, which was generally the same as the flying ash that the linden leaf had turned into just now... Could it be that all the linden leaves in the full tree disappeared like this? This made Ye Fan quite surprised. 　　The Bodhi Seed of the Born Buddha Figure made him feel that it was extraordinary, and he vaguely felt that it was even more important than the bronze ancient lamp that was always accompanying the Stone Buddha! 　　There were still five green leaves on the ancient Bodhi tree, but they weren't as crystalline as they were just now, they were much dimmer, Ye Fan didn't pick them off, harvesting a Bodhi seed was enough, he didn't want to be noticeable. 　　At this time no one had come out of the Great Thunder Sound Temple, Ye Fan left the Bodhi Tree and returned to the ancient temple. 　　At this moment, seven or eight more people had found Buddhist artifacts, each with a different appearance. Liu Yunzhi actually found half of a golden mortar and pestle from the back of the stone Buddha, although it had been buried in the dust for an unknown number of years, but now that it had been re-emerged from the ground, it was still shining brightly, giving people a feeling of heaviness and condensation, and if not for the fact that one of the ends was broken, it would have been called a masterpiece of casting and refining that was both perfect and powerful. 　　This scepter-like pestle and mortar has a very powerful name in Buddhism, for the vajra pestle and mortar, which has the indirect meaning of "destroying the enemy", symbolizing invincibility, indestructible wisdom and the true nature of the Buddha, and it is the staff held by all the saints. 　　If there is a Buddha in the world, this rod is undoubtedly a holy thing, there must be extraordinary appearance, even if there is a mountain break the mysterious power of the river is not surprising, but at the moment can not see the wonders. 　　Liu Yunzhi waved it with force, half of the vajra mortar and pestle like golden lightning crossed, the light was brilliant, the treasure mortar and pestle was very imposing. 　　"You guys say, if all these artifacts are things held by deities, if we find out how to use them, what kind of amazing scenario will there be ......" 　　Hearing Liu Yunzhi's words, all those who had found the Buddhist artifacts were mesmerized for a while.
