Ask Sword

To Li Ang's disappointment, Lin Liangce, the author of "Zen Buddhism in Middle Earth", was not at the back of the book, explaining the results of his search for "Guan Zhou Jing".

Instead, it brings the topic back to the process of Zen Buddhism spreading to the Central Plains. And in the process of spreading, the alienated objects that have clearly appeared.

For example, the Achamara rosary used by Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan, which can make people feel as happy as if they are in the Buddha's kingdom—[Different——2——31]

Unearthed in Youzhou, the Xingtan paramita Buddhist altar that can purify people's minds and speed up their practice—[Different——2—189]

Buddhist altars, banners, covers, sutra pillars, lamps, flowers, incense, incense burners, clothes, whisks, wishful thinking, bamboo grates.

Li Ang searched along the catalog, and finally found a description similar to the dark lotus in the [Flower] column.

【Name: Lotus in Misery】

[Description: The appearance of the bitter lotus is similar to that of a black lotus. The diameter of the flower is about seven inches.

When any individual holds the lotus of suffering with folded hands, an abnormal state will be triggered.

The affliction lotus will reveal the sufferings that individuals will suffer in the future, such as illness, parting, not getting what they want, resentment, greed, anger, ignorance, death and so on. The greater the suffering encountered and the closer the time, the faster the lotus will fall.

Of all the afflictions, the abnormal effects caused by death are the most prominent.

When the person who is about to die of illness holds the lotus in distress, the lotus will fall off in pieces until there is no petal left.

At the same time, this effect is not an absolutely accurate prediction. If the disease is cured, the lotus petals will recover by themselves.

If you leave the previous holder, the lotus petals will also recover. 】

[Remarks: The above information is a record of the rumors of Jingnianzong. The Jingnian sect regards the lotus of the suffering state as a secret treasure, and rarely publicizes it. Therefore, it is not sure whether the lotus of the suffering state has other uses, and whether there are negative effects and taboos.

Since the information is incomplete, and the Misery Lotus disappeared in the world after the demise of the Jingnian Sect (suspected to be plundered by other sects), it is not included in the list of alienated objects in the school here]

'Lotus in Misery'

Li Ang frowned slightly. Lin Liangce, the author of "Zen Buddhism in Middle Earth", did not get the real lotus of the affliction, but judging from the characteristics described in the text, it was indeed very similar to the dark lotus.

'Can the lotus flower that can predict the suffering of life, maybe, be used as a medical examination tool? If so. '

Li Ang immediately thought of the purpose of the Misery Lotus, assuming that the Misery Lotus detects a person's physical condition every 30 seconds, twenty-four hours a day, it can conduct physical examinations on more than 2,000 people to detect whether they are seriously ill.

It's a mobile medical examination center.

Secondly, it can also be used in specific treatment—letting the patient take the lotus of bitterness after taking the medicine to directly test whether the medicine is effective, and whether other medicines will work.

It can save a lot of observation time and save people from fire and water.

The layout is big.

Li Ang resisted the urge to go home immediately to examine the dark lotus, honestly read a book in the library for a while, finished the afternoon class, and returned home after school.

He walked into the study as before, stayed in the moss sphere, took out the dark lotus, and according to the "Zen of Middle Earth", put the lotus in the palm of his hand, put his hands together, and waited quietly.

Half a quarter of an hour, a quarter of an hour, no change.

"Could it be that my life has been too smooth recently?"

Li Ang frowned, the lotus in adversity would shed its petals according to the suffering, and prophesied. But if he is going smoothly in the near future and there is no threat to his life, he will naturally not wither.

Li Ang thought for a moment, took out the three-edged gun, and cut a small scar on the surface of his thigh very shallowly, allowing a little bit of blood to ooze out.

This time he was holding the dark lotus again, a petal of the lotus seemed to shake a bit.

Li Ang's eyes lit up, and he immediately found ropes and candles from the room, and made a simple device.

He first looped the rope around the beam, one end of the rope was tied to the post, the other end was tied to the blade, and his thigh was under the blade.

Then light the candle and place it under the rope. The height of the candle is three inches higher than the rope. If the candle burns gradually, it will burn the rope, causing the blade to fall and cut Li Ang.

After finishing the device, Li Ang turned around, not looking at the candle device, so that he would not know when the rope would burn out in the future, and then picked up the dark lotus.

This time, both petals shook.

It has the function of predicting bad luck, and it really is the lotus of suffering.

Li Ang's heart moved, and he continued with the next test - he pasted a breeze talisman on the inside of the study door, and replaced the candle with a torch.

The Breeze Talisman may blow out the torch, or it may accelerate the burning of the torch.

However, the test results this time, as well as subsequent more complex experiments, showed that the prediction results of the Misery Lotus were both accurate and inaccurate.

"It can predict both sudden and auspicious events with strong causal connections.

The latter is more accurate than the former.

For example, if you have a serious illness that is about to die, then the prediction will be very accurate, and the duration of the prediction can be very long.

And if someone has a whim and suddenly wants to assassinate me, then the duration of the prophecy will be greatly shortened, and the accuracy will also drop-it cannot predict whether I will definitely die, but only whether I am in danger of death . "

Li Ang, who had figured this out, was a little disappointed, but he still put away the lotus in distress.

This lotus can save lives at critical moments, and it can be used to find a way out if it is caught in an abnormal event.

Secondly, if the Misery Lotus had only this ability to predict bad luck, it should not be regarded as a secret treasure by Jingnianzong. The awakening monk would not let himself, who had lost all his memory after waking up, take the lotus flower to retrieve his memory.

I always feel that there are other uses

Perhaps, we should go back to Zangshuge to look for other books by Lin Liangce?

"who I am?"

"Where do I come from?"

"Why am I here?"

"Wan'er, who is Wan'er? Why do I remember her?"

In the wilderness west of Chang'an, a ragged figure was walking under the night.

His skin was pale, his steps were staggering, and he was muttering to himself.

"Cucko—"

There was the sound of birds in the distance, and an owl grabbed a newly caught mouse with its talons, flew across the wilderness, flew into a ruined temple, and stopped on the beam of the ruined temple.

It was about to use its sharp claws to disembowel the mouse when it suddenly sensed a figure approaching, opened its bell-like eyes, and let out a threatening sound.

The figure didn't care about the existence of the owl, but just walked on its own, stepped into the ruined temple blankly, and looked up at the Buddha statue in the temple.

This is a temple that has been abandoned for a long time. The remaining incense candles and magic tools in the corner prove the glory of the temple.

The owl stared at each other warily, grabbed the squeaking mouse, and moved a few steps to the side.

The next moment, it exploded without any warning,

The mouse that fell on the ground, before it got up, an invisible force exploded from the inside out, spattering into a small piece of flesh and blood.

The figure was ignorant of the two dead animals, and he raised his head in a daze, staring at the dilapidated Maitreya Buddha statue.

The moonlight shone in through the broken tiles of the ruined temple, illuminating the figure's face—his left half of his head was missing half, and he could clearly see the mutilated brain bouncing slightly inside.

"I am a Buddha? Yes, I am a Buddha. The Buddha among the Buddhas, the Buddha of ten thousand Buddhas."

The existence once named Shi Xingseng stared at the wooden Maitreya Buddha statue with its stomach open and laughing, and a small piece of its head was missing at the same time. The only remaining right eye gradually brightened up, "What's my name?"

"Haha, the Buddha who laughs..."

"My name is...Harvard?"
