I was sneaking around outside the window, but when I saw Buddha knocking on the wooden fish, I got a shock and accidentally knocked off a brick.
The brick clattered to the ground, breaking into two pieces.
I helplessly thought: I'm finished. This time, I've been exposed again.
I thought the Buddha would put down the wooden fish and act like nothing had happened. However, I was wrong this time. He didn't put down the wooden fish. Instead, he stood up and looked at me with an angry expression.
I felt a little bit scared. I felt that this Buddha statue might not be as easy to bully as I looked, so I took two steps back and turned around to leave.
But just as I turned around, I saw the shadow of the Buddha. I can't walk anymore.
Buddha stood up and stood behind the lamp. The lamp left two distinct shadows on the wall behind him.
This shadow was too familiar to me. It was the same person as the shadow behind me. The only difference was that my shadow was sitting and his shadow was standing.
The Buddha looked at me angrily, but he only looked annoyed and didn't intend to do anything to me. My heart gradually relaxed. I felt that the Buddha statue might not be that powerful, but at least he could do nothing to me right now.
I studied the shadow of the Buddha statue, then focused on the Buddha statue.
Could he be the owner of the shadow? Was he the one who turned me into a villain through the Master Xue? My shadow is a Buddha holding a coffin, and this fellow is also a Buddha, but I don't know why, but I always feel strange.
I feel like this guy is just a shitbag, just a prisoner, he doesn't have that kind of ability at all.
The two of us looked at each other. We stared at each other for a while. Finally, I couldn't help myself anymore and said to the Buddha statue, "Your shadow, is it yours?"
This was just a sentence of nonsense. Who's shadow was not his? If the Buddha statue had an IQ, it would probably call me stupid.
However, his expression changed drastically after hearing what I said. He even asked anxiously, "Your shadow is not yours?"
I nodded.
The Buddha said, "Come in."
The words were very short. After hearing it, I felt a burst of ecstasy. I could vaguely feel that he recognized the shadow behind me.
I opened the window and jumped in. Standing in front of the Buddha statue.
The Buddha statue was tall, but it wasn't too big. I didn't feel any fear as I stood in front of him.
The Buddha looked behind me and nodded. "That's right, your shadow isn't yours."
I suppressed my excitement and asked, "Who is your shadow?"
The Buddha statue was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't know."
I immediately became discouraged. "After so much commotion, I finally found a difficult brother."
I said to the Buddha, "I have no intention of harming you. I think we'd better talk seriously. exchange what you know. "
The Buddha nodded in agreement, then sat down cross-legged.
To be honest, sitting cross-legged with the Buddha statue inside the temple was a very awkward feeling. But I didn't want to show it, so I sat down.
The Buddha statue seemed to notice my inner thoughts and said to me, "You don't have to worry, I'm not a real Buddha."
I thought: Who thinks of you as a real Buddha?
But then the Buddha said, "I'm not a real man or a ghost. My soul is of a different origin from the people of this world. "
I didn't say anything, just made as if I wanted to hear the details. I've seen too many strange things. I'm not surprised.
The Buddha statue said, "Our origins should be similar."
I smiled and thought to myself, "You and I are not the same person. I am the soul of a reincarnated person." But I won't tell you the reason for this first. In case you don't feel close to me. "
I asked the Buddha statue, "Then how did you get here?"
The Buddha said, "I don't know. When I was conscious, I was here. "
I opened my mouth to speak, but the Buddha said, "I know what you're trying to say. I'm not losing my memory. I'm sure I was there the moment I appeared in the world, consciously. I never went out. "
I looked at him in bewilderment. "That's strange. If you never went out, who did you learn to talk to?" How do you know the word amnesia? Furthermore, from the way you talk, you don't seem to be cut off from the rest of the world. "
The Buddha said: "Because this place is not deserted, there are one or two people who come here every few decades. I learned about the human world from those people. "
I said, "It's a little kid who came to repent his sins."
The Buddha statue shook its head. "No, they are people like you and me."
I looked at him in bewilderment. "What do you mean?"
The Buddha said, "The souls of those people have problems. Some of them had undergone reincarnation before, but those reincarnations were not reincarnations in the true sense. It's been manipulated. "
I nodded as if I didn't really understand what he meant. "So, you don't know where you came from?"
The Buddha said, "I've been here for thousands of years. Every day, he would do nothing but ponder and ponder. After pondering for a long time, he finally understood some things. And then it took me a long time to verify, and I felt that what I was thinking was right. "
I curiously asked, "What did you come up with?"
The Buddha stretched out his arm and tapped it with his finger. I heard a brittle sound. His arms and fingers were not made of flesh and blood, nor were they made of soul. They were made of stone.
The Buddha said, "I was a stone statue, carved out of stone and affixed with gold foil."
I nodded.
The Buddha said with a sigh, "Actually, I always thought I was made of gold, but it turned out to be gilded. To be honest, I was a little disappointed for a while. "
This guy, I thought, was a tease.
The Buddha statue continued, "After I thought about it, I realized that this Temple of Atonement is not the same as the confession room outside."
I asked curiously, "Why isn't it the same thing?"
The Buddha statue said: "First there was the Temple of Atonement, then there was the confession room. The Temple of Atonement was built for the Atonement Monument, for the purpose of suppressing the things underneath the monument. "
"Who would have thought that by chance, the little ghosts that were waiting to enter the Underworld would start to repent of their sins, forming a room for redemption. Naturally, the confession room and the Temple of Atonement are connected together. "
"In this way, all sins will be placed on the monument to atonement. You know what those sins are, don't you? It was very strange and vicious, as if it had collected all the filth in the world. After these filthy things entered the stone monument, they slowly went underground and covered the things that were imprisoned. "
"I reckon that the person behind the scenes used so much effort to build this set of things in order to pollute this place with the sins of the world and make the things underneath the stone tablet eternally unable to rise."
I nodded slowly. Then, I curiously asked, "So, did you move the stone tablet away to take a look?"
The Buddha statue laughed bitterly and said, "Do you think I have never tried it before? I tried. Do you see the Bibi in the yard? He had the stone tablet on him. This stone tablet is very heavy, I can't move it. So I set my sights on the little temple above his head. There is also a stone tablet there. "
I nodded. "And then?"
The Buddha statue spread out his hands, "After I moved the stone tablet away, there was nothing inside. But I happened to notice that there was a similar Buddha statue in the temple. He is also alive, and upon seeing me, he was terrified to death. "
"At that time, I didn't mean to hurt him. I just wanted to talk to him, but he was too young and my strength was too great. I accidentally crushed him."
When I heard this, I couldn't help but grin.
The Buddha statue sighed and said, "From that day onwards, I would strike the wooden fish all day to repent my sins. Until one day, I heard a loud noise outside. Through the door, I saw a hand reaching down from the sky. That hand was extremely huge. It gently pushed the stone tablet and easily lifted it up. "
"After it flipped open the stone tablet and dug up the soil in the yard, a huge pit appeared in the middle of the yard. He found nothing and left. "
"At that time, I was lying prone on the ground, trembling in fear. When this hand is gone, I will use chains to lock the doors and the doors of the great hall. "
I frowned. "Why did you lock the door?" "Are you worried that the hand will find you?"
The Buddha statue nodded slowly.
I said, "If that hand was going to find you, wouldn't it be fine to just rip the roof off?" Furthermore, with his size, he shouldn't be taking the wrong path to get in, right? "
The Buddha statue sighed, "If he were to tear down the roof directly, it would be heaven's will. If I'm dead, I'm dead. There's nothing to complain about. If he sees the door shut and thinks there's no one inside and he doesn't want to hurt me anymore, then I'm lucky to survive. "
"And from the moment I saw that hand, I suddenly understood something. This matter allowed me to guess where exactly the things that were locked up under the tablet are. "
I asked curiously, "What do you understand?" Where is that thing? "
The Buddha said, "I understand the structure here."
He pointed to the door and said, "Above the Biansi in the courtyard, there is a small temple. In the small temple, there is a smaller Biansi and a smaller temple, each covered with a layer of cloth. And here, I'm not at the biggest level either. The hand that appeared in the sky last time, is also a Buddha statue like me, he's also looking for something. "
I nodded in deep agreement.
The Buddha statue seemed to be afraid that I wouldn't understand it, so it explained, "Do you know the math for junior high school students? I have zero here. Above my head, one, two, three, four, five, one layer, one layer, one layer, one layer, one layer, one layer, one layer, one layer, one layer, one layer, one layer, one layer, one layer, one layer. Under my feet, there is still one minus two, until the end of time. "
I thought: What kind of people are these Buddha statues in contact with, even teaching him elementary school math? Isn't this too boring?
