Chapter 131 Qingxuandeng: I stare into the eyes of Vairocana Tathagata
The thief is picking the lock?
The main gate of Weilian Ancient Temple is still made of wood and uses an older type of latch.
The wood was quite heavy and it was difficult to pry it open from the outside when inserted horizontally.
In order to prevent any accidents, when Ruyi found something wrong, she sent a text message to Hase Shuichi, who must have been still awake, asking him if he was interested in coming to Weilian Ancient Temple to catch the thief.
Seeing that the thief seemed to be still outside trying to pick the lock, and it didn't seem to be going well, Ruyi was not in a hurry and waited silently for Hase Shuichi to come and meet up.
But soon, he realized something was wrong. There seemed to be two people outside, one was picking the lock and the other seemed to be pouring gasoline.
The strong smell of gasoline gradually spread from outside the temple.
Someone wants to burn down the Weilian Ancient Temple!
Ruyi didn't dare to delay any longer. He came to the main hall door and knocked on the door with the wooden stick in his hand, making loud bangs, and shouted loudly.
"What are you doing!"
"There's a thief!"
"If you don't leave I'll call the police!"
The two people outside seemed to be startled, and Ruyi vaguely heard the sound of something falling to the ground.
He turned on all the lights in the main hall and then opened the main door, shouting as he opened it, trying to scare the two of them away.
"someone here!"
"Set the fire quickly!"
When the main hall door was about to open, Ruyi faintly heard this intermittent conversation.
The door opened completely and flames burst out.
Those two thieves set a fire!
Ruyi rushed out quickly holding a wooden stick, and saw the flames spreading rapidly along the gasoline spilled on the ground.
Fortunately, the fire was some distance away from the temple and did not burn the temple for the time being.
Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, but when she turned around, she found that gasoline had been poured near the gate and the fire was gradually spreading towards this side.
Oops!
This time the temple is going to burn down!
Ruyi's face suddenly changed, and flames in front of him quickly spread along the gasoline on the ground.
There was nothing around that could put out the fire, and the fire extinguisher was on the right wall of the hall.
Ruyi didn't bother to chase the two arsonists, and quickly turned around and went into the hall to get a fire extinguisher.
Just as he picked up the fire extinguisher, the flames outside the door, like a long river of flames, passed through the main hall door and flew in from mid-air.
Then it was smoothly absorbed into the somewhat different bright lamp.
The bright lamp and the flame shine as bright as ever.
At this moment, it was swallowing up all the flames spreading from the door with the force of a whale.
Moreover, in the process of engulfing the flames, no object in the hall was damaged at all.
As if it possessed some kind of intelligence.
It seemed as if a god inside the bright lamp had awakened from his slumber.
Ruyi stood there in a daze until the flames outside were completely extinguished and the long river of fire in front of him dissipated, then he reacted.
"Is there really a spirit being born in this bright lamp?"
Ruyi held the fire extinguisher in both hands and looked at the lamp that had returned to normal, then went outside the temple for a tour.
Although there were traces of gasoline on the ground, there was indeed no fire anywhere around.
Standing at the door and looking up, I saw that the two arsonists had disappeared without a trace and no one knew where they had escaped to.
Ruyi put down the fire extinguisher in her hand and nervously called Master Liansheng.
"As long as there's no major problem with the temple, call the police. I believe they will catch the arsonist."
After hearing the story, Pinggong Qianye said calmly, "As for the matter of the Bright Lamp, don't spread it. I will deal with it after I return."
This call was very brief, and Ruyi felt a little relieved.
After Ruyi cleaned up the gasoline near the temple, he returned to the main hall and subconsciously walked to the bright lamp.
The flame, which was no different from usual, seemed to be brewing something.
Was it the unexpected events tonight that stimulated the spirit in the bright lamp to wake up early?
Ruyi watched quietly from afar, not daring to go forward to disturb her.
In the flame of the bright lamp that burned as usual, a wisp of consciousness gradually awakened.
Hey, where is this place?
Strange, how come I am inside a ball of fire?
Shouldn't I still be inside the ice lake, practicing seriously in the frozen state?
How did I end up in such a place?
I seemed to have no body of my own, only a ball of fire.
Could it be that I was practicing too hard and fell into a dream?
Qingxuande, who is unable to figure out the current situation, can only regard what he is experiencing at the moment as a dream.
I seemed to be in the flame of a lamp, and the surroundings...why did it look like a Buddhist temple?
It looked like a temple, with a statue of Vairocana sitting right in front of him.
He did not wear a crown, nor did he wear any gorgeous jeweled jewelry. He looked very simple, with a sense of returning to nature.
He seemed to be a living god, now looking down at himself with a compassionate smile.
But clearly, his eyes were looking straight ahead, but she felt as if the statue of Vairocana was looking at her.
Logically speaking, since I am a big monster, I would be naturally restrained when facing such a real Buddha statue.
In serious cases, the person may even lose his soul.
But at this moment, he did not feel the slightest bit of discomfort. Instead, he had a natural sense of closeness to this statue of Vairocana Buddha.
This is indeed a dream!
Given my hatred for that evil monk, I would never be interested in any Buddhist teachings or statues, let alone feel close to them!
Humph, the abominable monk not only pollutes me in reality, but now even invades my dreams!
It’s so abominable!
It's so scary! Qing Xingdeng cursed the monk several times in his heart, calling him an evil monk and a stinky monk, and then he turned his eyes away from the statue of Mahavairocana.
Looking towards the main hall gate, he caught a glimpse of a monk standing not far away and looking at him.
Is he the evil monk who caused himself to fail in his attempt to become a demon?
No, his aura is too weak.
It was completely different from the aura he sensed when he first came into contact with the evil monk.
This is definitely the disciple of that evil monk!
While Qingxuandeng was thinking, the sound of a car approaching was heard outside the temple.
The little monk who had been staring in his direction left the temple and walked out of the gate.
Strange, isn't this my dream?
Why does it feel so clear at this moment? Even the curiosity and worry on the little monk's face can be seen clearly.
Also, how could I imagine a hall to look like this when I have never been inside a temple?
"This must be the influence of the evil monk!"
"He was the one who instilled his knowledge and memories into my mind!"
"What a despicable monk! He is trying to make me unclean from soul to body!"
The Green Lantern was extremely angry, the flame of the Bright Lantern suddenly jumped up, and on the lantern paper, passages of scriptures glowed.
The hazy Buddha's light is like a dream.
Qing Xingdeng felt dazed for a moment, and soon lost consciousness.
Ruyi walked out of the temple gate and saw a car with its headlights on parked under the banyan tree at the gate of Weilian Ancient Temple.
Ruyi squinted her eyes and looked at it for a few seconds, and she knew that it was Hase Shuichi's luxury car.
Besides him, there was another person in the car, who looked timid and panicked, as if he had been caught doing something bad.
"I helped you catch one, but the other one got away."
As soon as Hase Hide got out of the car, he grabbed the man's collar with one hand, pulled him out of the car, and brought him to Ruyi.
"One of the people who set the fire just now is indeed him." Ruyi carefully identified the man.
"Arsonist? Not a thief? What's going on?"
Hase Shuichi was a little dazed. As soon as he received Ruyi's news, he drove at high speed all the way.
It was late at night and there were not many vehicles on the road.
When I came near this place, I saw two people acting sneaky and panicky. They were looking back and running away in a hurry.
He could tell at first glance that he was not a decent person, so he immediately stopped his car and chased after him, but he only had time to catch one of the thieves who was running slower.
"So that's it."
After listening to Ruyi's narration, Hase Shuichi, with a cold face, punched the thief hard in the abdomen. The pain made him bend like a shrimp and kneel down on the spot.
"Make atonement to the Buddha!"
Soon, nearby police officers caught another arsonist after investigation and search.
Ruyi went to cooperate with the police investigation and asked Hase Shuichi to stay in the temple to prevent any further accidents.
The next day, it was past 9 o'clock before Ruyi returned to Weilian Ancient Temple.
"How's the situation?"
Hase Shuichi, who had been guarding the temple all night, hurriedly asked about the interrogation last night.
"They were hired by someone, and the police are conducting further investigations based on the intelligence they provided."
Ruyi told him what happened last night with a serious face.
To be honest, it’s not that he doesn’t think highly of the Japanese police’s ability to solve cases, but the person behind this incident is probably targeting Master Liansheng.
It would certainly be difficult for ordinary police to solve the case.
"Maybe it has something to do with the Golden Light Cult believers that night."
Hase Hideichi's expression also became more serious. "Recently, Takeda Saburo has also been staying in Tokyo. Let him stay with you in the temple. It will be safer to have someone to look after you at night."
Ruyi did not refuse this good intention. After talking about these things, he called Master Liansheng again to inform him of the latest developments of the matter.
……
The top of Mount Fuji, inside the icy lake.
Qingxuande, who was almost frozen into an ice sculpture, woke up from his training.
Just now, she seemed to have had a very real and terrifying dream.
In the dream, I was in a temple and was able to look directly into the eyes of a statue of Vairocana Tathagata from a distance without being hurt.
I’m afraid even Sister Snow Girl can’t accomplish such an amazing feat?
Thinking of this, Qing Xingdeng felt a little proud, but soon he felt that there was nothing to be proud of.
The more you do this, the more it proves that you are close to Buddha.
Damn it!
It’s all because of that damn monk. He made me unable to even dream in peace!
I will curse him, I must curse him!
Qing Xingdeng cursed in his heart, constantly venting his grievances and anger.
How can you bully a monster like this?
When were monsters deprived of even the right to dream?
