Chapter 28 Under the Ginkgo Tree
[111, where is the darkroom you mentioned yesterday? What kind of structure is it? If it's too deep, I'm afraid I'll have to spend some time to figure it out.]
[The dark room is under the big tree behind the Sutra Library. Dig two meters down along the tree roots and you will reach the dome of the dark room.]
[Okay! Tell me more about the structure of the darkroom so I can think of some kind of nonsense to tell.]
Daiyu asked the maids to wait in the pavilion, and she walked to the Sutra Library alone and stood under the ginkgo tree with a dazed look in her eyes.
[The dark room is about two meters square, and was originally supposed to be connected by a tunnel. But now the tunnel has collapsed and is buried by soil. By chance, the roots of this tree just happened to push open the soil layer above the dome.]
Daiyu stroked the ginkgo tree, feeling a little sad. If she hadn't come here, the dark room under the tree might never have been discovered. Day after day, the scriptures in the dark room would surely be destroyed by water seepage.
No wonder the system would offer a reward, asking her to collect the scriptures. I guess something similar must have happened in the main world of 111.
Daiyu asked the monk in charge to find the abbot, and after some persuasion, the abbot agreed to dig it up and give it a try.
After all, this Sutra Repository was built on the site of the main hall of Hongji Temple of the previous dynasty. There should have been an underground palace here, but it was not discovered during the reconstruction.
Of course, it was also because Daiyu promised the abbot that if she couldn't dig it out, she would be willing to kowtow three times and nine times around the Hongji Temple to apologize to the Buddha.
"Miss!" Lan Rui was a little worried and quietly pulled Daiyu's sleeve. She found that her daughter was a little too persistent in some things, for example, every time she went to a Buddhist temple, she wanted to visit the Buddhist scripture pavilion in the temple.
"Don't worry, I'm fine!" Daiyu stood beside the abbot and watched him summon the monks from the temple to prepare for digging.
"Mr. Lin, which direction should we dig from?" Everyone looked at Daiyu.
She pointed to a thick root and said, "If we dig along this root, we will reach the dome within three meters."
Seeing her confident look, the abbot couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Could it be that this was a secret passed down from the ancestors of Miss Lin's family? If so, this would be a major discovery!
The abbot hurriedly asked the monk in charge to close the gate of the Sutra Library to prevent the news from leaking out.
In the last Zen Conference, Hongji Temple did not have the upper hand in Buddhism. But if some lost scriptures can be unearthed this time, Hongji Temple will become famous!
The abbot stared at the monks with burning eyes and dug down with a shovel.
Soon, when the digging reached a depth of two meters, the shovel suddenly made a strange sound, which was completely different from the previous digging sound.
The abbot stuck his head into the cave and saw a fist-sized, dark hole at the bottom of the pit, with a corner of something like a brick sticking out from the side.
"Master Abbot, now you should understand that I am not teasing you!" Daiyu clasped her hands together and bowed slightly.
The abbot returned the greeting: "Donor Lin is so righteous!"
"I dare not. Master Abbot, just remember what you promised me!"
The next day, Daiyu and others came to the gate of Hongji Temple again and heard the noise of the crowd from afar.
"Madame Wang, have someone go to the front to see what's going on." Daiyu was short and surrounded by people, so she couldn't see anything in front of her. There was a lot of noise, and she could only vaguely hear someone say that no one was allowed to enter Hongji Temple today.
The maid Wang Ma sent over soon came back to report: "Young lady, Hongji Temple will not be receiving pilgrims today. I heard it happened suddenly."
"Madame Wang, go ask a monk in private. Tell them that we are from the Lin family who performed a ritual in the temple yesterday and ask if we can go in." Daiyu guessed that they must have dug up something extraordinary, and in order to avoid gossip and the news leaking out, they decided not to receive pilgrims.
You know, although the court has been promoting Taoism in recent years, if any lost scriptures are found, they will probably be collected in the palace library. What will be left in the temple at that time may be just a copy.
Nanny Wang came back soon and winked at Daiyu, who understood and led everyone to the side of Hongji Temple.
Turning to the side street, I saw the monk in charge who I had seen yesterday, looking around in front of a corner gate of Hongji Temple.
Seeing Daiyu and the others coming over, he waved to them and motioned them to come over.
"What kind of discovery, some treasure, has made such a big fuss about it?" Daiyu asked with a smile after entering the corner gate.
The monk in charge closed the door, his mouth almost touching his eyebrows. "Donor Lin! You are a great contributor to our Hongji Temple! You don't know that our temple was rebuilt later, and many scriptures were brought by wandering monks. Therefore, every time there is a Zen conference, our Hongji Temple is not as popular as other Buddhist temples, and the incense is not as prosperous as theirs."
He glanced sideways at Lin Daiyu, almost shaking with joy: "That's good! Buddha bless you! Buddha bless you!"
The monk in charge did not take them to the main hall, but went to the Sutra Library first.
"Master Abbot." Daiyu bowed and asked, "The time for the ritual is almost up. Let's talk about it later if there is anything!"
"I am sorry for being rude! Let's talk while we walk." This time the abbot personally led the way for Daiyu.
When passing by the outer wall of the Sutra Repository, Daiyu heard the cheerful reminder tone of 111 in her mind.
Daiyu understood and congratulated, "Amitabha! It seems that Hongji Temple will become famous at the next Zen Conference!"
"Haha! Donor Lin also knows something about the Zen Conference!"
"Yes, on the way to the capital this time, I passed by several famous temples and went in to light the eternal lamps for my late mother. I heard the abbot mention it."
"Mr. Lin is so pious! I am very grateful this time!" The abbot stopped and bowed solemnly to Lin Daiyu.
Daiyu pretended not to know what was going on in the dark room and asked, "Why is the abbot so polite? I just had a slight feeling and reminded the abbot master."
"Mr. Lin is truly a man of great wisdom!" The abbot thought of the scriptures he had moved out yesterday, and wanted to send Daiyu to the main hall as soon as possible so that he could go back and continue to comprehend the insights of his predecessors.
Daiyu could see his eagerness and was secretly delighted. Even the system kept reminding him that it was eager to include the lost scriptures. This monk must be very eager for them.
"Thank you, Abbot. I am so lucky to have the opportunity to comprehend this Buddhist scripture in my lifetime!"
The ritual on this day seemed a little long.
Daiyu was also excited because she knew that the book of basic inner strength skills could possibly allow her to practice to the legendary martial arts master stage. In this world without spiritual energy, this is the pinnacle of martial arts! When she returns to her original world, she can also practice.
She silently recited the Buddhist scriptures over and over again, and the excitement in her heart gradually faded away, replaced by a clear mind.
"Mr. Lin, you only have half an hour to observe the original text. From now on you can only borrow copied scriptures." The abbot said to Daiyu while standing at the door of the Sutra Library.
"It's a great honor for me to have the chance to see it!" After bowing, Daiyu turned and walked into the room.
