I contracted this sea [Live]

The Jiuhuashan Scenic Area Management Office recently received an anonymous package, and the addressee on it said that it should be handed over to the old abbot of Jindizang Pagoda.

When the sending and receiving office received the express package, it was a little inexplicable. At the same time, I became vigilant and suspicious about the origin of the package and the contents inside. I was worried that it might be intimidating or something bad, so the package was kept in the express store after signing for it. Nothing moved.

However, when the staff at the dispatch office was about to get off work, they happened to see the old abbot of the Golden Ksitigarbha Pagoda bringing a few young monks back from the foot of the mountain to purchase supplies. The staff at the dispatch office thought about it and stopped him old abbot.

"Abbot Huineng, wait a moment!"

When the old abbot heard the shout from the employee at the dispatch office, he stopped and turned around to look at the employee wonderingly. While bending down, he folded his hands together and made an Amitabha gesture. Then he asked:

"Benefactor, what do you want?"

The employee was embarrassed and said: "Two days ago, the dispatch office received a strange anonymous package that was called for you. I was worried that there was something wrong with the package, so I never sent it to you. It just happened to be here. , I thought about it and felt that I still have to tell you, I'll bring you the package, whether you want to open it for a look or just throw it away, it's up to you to decide."

Speaking of which, the employee turned around and ran quickly to the receiving and receiving office. After opening the door, he quickly found the anonymous package from inside. After handing the package to the abbot Huineng, he walked down the mountain with a relaxed expression.

Abbot Huineng held the package in his hand, and was a little confused for a while.

He is an outsider who has abandoned the secular world many years ago, and has never had any contact with the outside world. How could someone send him a package anonymously?

Abbot Hui Neng felt puzzled, but his mind was very peaceful, and he was not as vigilant as the employee at the dispatch office before. He had practiced Buddhism for most of his life, even if there was something bad in the package, the abbot Probably, Mount Tai could collapse before him without changing his color. At this moment, he was not in a hurry to unpack the package. He continued to lead the young monks up the mountain until he returned to his own residence in Jindizang Pagoda. After finishing the work at hand, the old abbot took out the package.

After opening the express package, the inside was bulging with air-filled bags, and there was only a palm-sized, ordinary wooden jewelry box in the middle. The old host didn't hesitate when he saw this, he just took out the box and opened it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened it and saw the contents clearly, the old host's expression suddenly changed, and even his breathing became short of breath in an instant. He, who has always been calm and calm, was really scared by this express package this time. caught.

After he took out the contents of the box and inspected it carefully, and confirmed that it was really the thing he knew, he couldn't sit still immediately, and put the things back into the box without saying a word. With the jewelry box in hand, he rushed out.

It was already evening at this time, and the back hall of the monastery was about to serve a fast meal. Many monks were waiting for the meal in the cafeteria. Unexpectedly, at this time, the chime bell on the top of the mountain was rang suddenly, and then the young monks watched When they entered the monastery, the expressions of the monks who were a little bit higher all changed, and the heads of the four classes immediately got up and hurried to the Yishi meditation hall.

"what happened?"

"Why did you ring the bell suddenly? Is there an emergency?"

"The head seat and several hall masters have passed, something must have happened!"

A group of people were talking outside the cafeteria, wondering what happened.

The four leaders over there also felt strange, but since it was the old host who called them, even if they were puzzled, they still dared to go to the Yishi Meditation Hall immediately. The old host was already waiting there, and when they saw them coming in, their expressions were very excited , It can even be said that his face is flushed.

The few people had never seen the old host expressing such emotion, they suddenly looked at each other in blank dismay:

"Master, what happened?"

The old abbot lifted the box he was holding in his hand, and opened the lid, revealing a gray stone inside that was very familiar and precious to these monks.

"This is—a relic?"

Several people were stunned when they saw the thing held in the host's hand.

"There are some books about our Jindizang Pagoda in the Sutra Pavilion of the Jiuhuashan Monastery. Among them are the origins of the Jindizang Pagoda and the hardships and twists and turns it has suffered in these years. Regarding the formation history of the Jindizang Pagoda, I don't need to tell you. clear."

"However, there is a booklet that is a top-secret file, which cannot be read without the host. It has been handed down from previous hosts, and it contains a secret of the Jindi Zang Pagoda."

"More than 1000 years ago, as a royal temple, the Jindizang Pagoda was hand-picked by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and received several real relics of Sakyamuni from the Peacock Kingdom. Most of these real relics were Enshrined under the golden statue of the Golden Ksitigarbha Pagoda."

The four chiefs looked at the old host, nodded and said: "We all know this. There are nine precious statues in the Golden Ksitigarbha Pagoda, and there is a relic of Buddha's real body under each statue."

The old host sighed: "But in fact, in addition to the nine real body relics, Tang Emperor also granted a Buddha head relic, which was enshrined on the top of the Golden Ksitigarbha Pagoda."

As soon as these words came out, the heads of the four classes all changed their colors, because they had never heard of the relic of the Buddha's head being enshrined on the top of the Golden Ksitigarbha Pagoda.

The old host continued: "It's normal if you don't know about it, because as early as more than 1000 years ago, this Buddha head relic was suddenly stolen by someone inexplicably one night."

"At that time, there were hundreds of people in the monastery, and they were worried that they would be punished by the royal family if the sacred relics were lost. If the Emperor Tang was furious, it might be difficult for the entire temple to survive, so this matter was concealed. The Buddha head relic that was originally enshrined was replaced by other similar stones by the old abbot at that time."

"After the dynasties changed in the future generations, this matter gradually faded away, and the matter of the loss of the Buddha's head relic gradually became unknown. Only the successor hosts from all walks of life knew this secret matter."

Speaking of this, the old host's eyes turned red, and he stared closely at the relic in his hand.

The four heads of classes are not stupid. When they saw the old host showing such a look, they immediately reacted. The four of them were shocked, and there was a look of astonishment and shock in their eyes:

"You mean, this relic is the Buddha head relic that was lost at the top of the Golden Ksitigarbha Pagoda?"

The old host nodded.

The first seat and the west hall responded the fastest, and immediately asked:

"But how do you know that this is the relic that was lost back then? There is no engraving on this relic."

The old host pointed to the hole on the relic and said:

"However, the scriptures handed down mentioned the relevant information about this relic, including the size, shape, weight and characteristics. In addition, this Buddha head relic was a tribute from the lamas of the Western Regions to the Emperor Tang. At that time, this relic The relics are strung together into beads, which are strung together with the four nine-eyed dzi beads, so this Buddha head relic has been drilled."

"All the characteristics of this relic are completely consistent with the lost Buddha head relic recorded in the abbot's scripture I got, so I am sure that this is the one that was lost at the top of the Golden Tibetan Pagoda!"

As soon as these words came out, the capital of the four classes present at the scene immediately had nothing to say.

A few people looked at me and I looked at you, and seemed to think of something:

"Where did you find this relic? Did you find it at the foot of the mountain today?"

Every once in a while, the master will take the children in the temple down the mountain to play, and will also buy some books and snacks for these children. The disciples have long been used to this, but today it happened that the master went down the mountain On the day when I came back, I announced such an important news, so several disciples thought that the master found it from the foot of the mountain.

But the old host shook his head and explained:

"It was sent by an anonymous courier from a well-meaning benefactor. The sender's name is a strange code on the order, and no specific name is written."

The four class leaders looked at the old host: "Then what do you mean?"

The old abbot pointed to the courier number that he tore off specially:

"Although this benefactor is an anonymous courier, it would be best if you can find someone. You should find a way to find out the origin of this order number and see if you can trace the source to the owner of the order number. The other party sent it anonymously because they didn’t want to attract too much attention. After we find out who the person is, we can meet with the benefactor privately to express our gratitude. We don’t need to publicize it with great fanfare. We will try our best to keep a low profile about the return of the Buddha’s head relic to Mount Jiuhua. Just get someone to put it back on the top of the tower."

The four disciples dared not disobey the advice of the old abbot, and immediately agreed.

The old abbot looked at the relic in his hand, his eyes were full of piety and respect:

"On the day when the relics are returned to the top of the pagoda, let's hold a ceremony to comfort the abbots of the Jindi Zang Pagoda."

Ao Bing didn't know that he actually returned the relic to its original owner by accident, so naturally he didn't know, because the anonymous courier he sent actually caused twists and turns, and almost lost everything. It was successfully delivered to the hands of the old abbot.

But in any case, the final result is happy for everyone. Later, he did receive a call from a monk who claimed to be the first great monk of the Golden Ksitigarbha Pagoda in Mount Jiuhua. Yan Ming Buddha head relic had returned to the top of the Ksitigarbha Pagoda. To express his gratitude to him, it was only then that Ao Bing realized that his courier bill still exposed some of his information.

But Ao Bing really didn't need this kind of thanks. He clearly rejected the great monk, and said that he was not noble. He kept it in his own bag, but did not send it together. This is his little selfishness, and I hope the temple will understand.

This answer more and more confirms what the old abbot said before, but for the Jiuhuashan Golden Ksitigarbha Pagoda, the only important thing is the Buddha head relic. In terms of it, it is a bit nondescript, at least in the eyes of the first monk, it is not a very important item, and the kind person took it away, at least Jiuhua Mountain will not care.
