Chapter 138 Four Letterheads

"I signed Wannian New () in Shaolin" to find the latest chapter!

Next to the futon, there are four letterheads.

These four letter papers have been aged for a long time, the covers are rotten, and the words on them have been corroded to the point of incomplete strokes, but the heroic spirit in the brushwork can still be vaguely seen.

The letter paper is firmly sealed, and the sealant is intact. After being opened, the content is still complete.

It seems that these four letters were all sealed by Master Kongwen and embalmed with a gold seal, waiting for someone to open them.

Su Cheng thought for a while, opened the letters one by one, and compared them.

The four letters are dated at different times.

The earliest one seems to be a letter from 150 years ago.

The handwriting on it is different from the other three. Judging from the content, it seems that it was not written by the monk Kongwen himself, but from another monk of the "Kong" generation.

That is, the abbot of Shaolin one hundred and fifty years ago, the master of emptiness!

"Junior brother Kongwen personally said: everything is safe in Shaolin Temple now.

The golden seal of the Dari Tathagata of the stupa has been plastic-sealed. This time, the junior brother is willing to sacrifice himself for the town of the stupa. His merits are immeasurable, and the senior brother is ashamed.

It's a pity that the matter of the stupa is very important. Now the world is full of evil spirits, and the righteous sects are struggling to deal with it. If the news leaks and the seal is broken at this moment, Shaolin will definitely become the target of public criticism. You can only feel wronged.

Although I have broken through to the realm of Arhat, due to the promise of the Lotus Sect, I feel that my lifespan will be exhausted, and it is a pity that I cannot spend the rest of my life with my junior. What a pity, what a sigh! "

After reading this letter, Su Cheng immediately guessed some of the truth of the year.

Sure enough, things were as I imagined. One hundred and fifty years ago, the reason why Master Kongxiang sealed the stupa was because the seal of the stupa was already on the verge of breaking at that time!

It was Master Kongwen who sacrificed himself to guard the stupa. Let the seal continue abruptly for a full hundred and fifty years...

And not only that. In order to prevent the news from leaking out, Master Kongwen and Master Kongxiang even performed a "drama" together.

Because in the eyes of the monks of Shaolin Temple today, Shaolin Temple owed Master Kongwen back then. It seems that Master Kongwen and Master Kongxiang had some huge conflicts.

That day when the Blood Sect attacked Shaolin, Xuan Bei, the head of the Arhat Hall, shouted outside the Sutra Pavilion: "Although Master Kong Xiang is sorry for you, it has been a hundred years! Is there anything you can't let go of?"

It can be seen from this. In the eyes of the Shaolin monks, there is even a life-and-death hatred between Master Kongxiang and Master Kongwen.

At that time, Su Cheng wondered, could it be that a monk who has reached the level of Kongxiang and Kongwen would also be unable to see through "obsessions", fall into clichés, and have deep hatred?

Now he finally understood.

The two are meant to complement each other...

If it were not for Master Kongwen's sacrifice, Shaolin Temple would have already faced a huge crisis, a catastrophe of extinction.

And without the self-sacrifice of Master Kongxiang, how could the later "Abbot Wunian" and "Abbot Huicheng" rehabilitate a scripture-keeping monk who had disappeared for a hundred years, and make all the monks in Shaolin Temple feel sorry for Master Kongwen?

Su Cheng sighed slightly, and felt sorry for the two people's confidant pride.

The so-called bosom friend, high mountains and flowing waters, nothing more.

Su Cheng opened the second letter. But I saw the second letter with handsome handwriting, it should be Master Kongwen's handwriting:

"Today is the time when the 'Mahayana Thousand Buddhas' have been accumulated. Most of the seals of the relic stupa have been stabilized, but the seal of the blood demon has begun to loosen. If it breaks the seal, it will surely spread poison for thousands of miles and cause chaos in the world."

"The old man's cultivation has reached the bottleneck. Unless he abandons the Buddha and turns to the Taoism to practice the 'Eternal and Immortal Changchun Gong', he will not be able to break through to the realm of the Dharma. Therefore, today the old monk uses his body to mold the Buddha and turn it into a Dharma to suppress the blood demons. It can make the world clean."

"My old monk intends to pass on the 'Mahayana Daji Jizang Ten Wheels of Reincarnation Sutra' for future generations, but this exercise requires boundless merit to achieve transformation."

"For two hundred years, the old monk has devoted himself to worshiping the Buddha and accumulating merits and virtues. But he has only cultivated it to a small degree. Although he has the realm of Arhat, he cannot exert the true power of the ten rounds of reincarnation sutra. Now he is trapped by the realm and cannot be Huichen. Even reshaping the physical body cannot extend the lifespan of Senior Brother Kong Xiang. These two things are the regrets of my life."

"I'm afraid that in this world, no one can cultivate great merit. If it is passed on, it will only harm others and oneself, and deplete the talent of those who come later. Why don't we let them be cut off from here, Amitabha..."

"Kongwen's last words are written here."

After reading it, Su Cheng speculated that the letter should have been written seventy or eighty years ago. That is, before the "Shen Monk Kongwen" passed away.

Sure enough, just as he thought, he used his own body to shape the Buddha body, and tried his best to suppress the blood demon...

In addition to these two letters, the other two are about two things that Master Kongwen did when he left the tower eighty years ago.

One thing is the confrontation with the "Demon Monk" in the Dharma Cave. Master Kongwen used the power of "Mahayana Daji Jizo Reincarnation Sutra" to suppress the demon monk once.

However, Master Kongwen didn't know the six-character mantra after all, so he couldn't completely kill the demon monk. That's why there was the law ring chaos caused by the demon monk later.

The other thing is what Su Cheng is more interested in.

Eighty years ago, Master Kongwen went to a ruined temple called "Shaoyi Temple" at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain after he suppressed the demon monks in the Bodhidharma Cave.

Wherever he went, he made a statue for the seal there, and used it to suppress an ancient monster.

It is said that the ancient monster is powerful, and it was even comparable to the Gorefiend at its peak. However, for some reason, her strength was greatly depleted, so she was sealed in the Temple of the Young Aunt.

That big demon didn't seem to be a threat to Shaolin Temple. However, he was afraid that his escape would bring disaster to the world, so Master Kongwen still intended to suppress him, but he was unable to move him to the stupa.

"Unexpectedly, besides the stupa, there is a 'treasure land' in Shaoshi Mountain. I wonder if the 'Shaoyi Temple' can be signed?"

Su Cheng thought so.

Anyway, that big monster was also sealed. It's been so many years, it shouldn't be broken out, it's good to have time to take a look.

but……

After reading these four letters, he finally realized the secret story of this stupa.

"Master Kongwen, worthy of the name of a divine monk..."

He admired it a little.

If he was allowed to spend seventy years in the stupa to pile up the statues of "Mahayana Thousand Buddhas", he would definitely not have the patience.

And this is not cultivation, on the contrary, it is dissipating the merits in one's body.

Because the "Mahayana Thousand Buddhas" all need to accumulate merit.

That is to say, Master Kongwen has attached his own cultivation to the Thousand Buddhas of Mahayana during the more than seventy years in this stupa, in order to benefit the common people and suppress the demons in this stupa.

Su Cheng admired this move very much. If there is really a Buddha in this world, then the monk of Kongwen will surely become a Buddha!

just now...

Su Cheng remembered the mantra of "Hell is not empty, and you will never become a Buddha". Suddenly, I feel that it is very possible that Kong Wen even gave up the chance to escape in order to guard the stupa...
