Rain in Chang'an Chapter 5 The Old Monk(2/2)
At this time, the old man had closed all the doors and windows in the room. Faint light spots slowly appeared behind him. The light spots began to converge, forming a shadow behind the old man. He held a pearl in his left hand and a tin staff in his right hand, sitting on a lotus.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
It is patient and motionless, like the earth; it is silent and deep, like a secret treasure." Hence the name.
He is the Bodhisattva in charge of reincarnation in the underworld and one of the four great Bodhisattvas in Buddhism.
The old man stood on the spot like a sacred tree in the wind, waving his big sleeves, and faint spots of light emitted from the shadow, spreading around. The old man was helping his students stabilize the vision to prevent prying eyes.
After a while, Li Longji opened his eyes, and everything around him returned to its original appearance. There was nothing strange about the trees, flowers, and grass, except that the sparrows had just flown away.
"Thank you, teacher." Li Longji stood up and bowed to the old man.
"Humph, you finally lived up to me." The old man accepted the bow happily. Although he didn't mean well, the happy look on his face said everything.
"The King of Yan is probably as talented as your father, so don't underestimate him."
"It's just a royal guard. Since your father and I can cancel his status, we are not afraid of how much trouble he will cause."
The old man picked up the teapot on the table and took a sip.
"As an outsider, I can't say much about your royal affairs. But if someone rebels, I'm sorry. Maybe I will go out and see what Yan Song, who was second in the Tianbao years, is capable of."
"Today is your junior brother's Dharma conference. Let's go and see it together." The old man asked Li Longji.
"Oh, that's a grand occasion. As a senior brother, I should go and see it." Li Longji was in a good mood. He immediately stood up and opened the door for his teacher.
