C937 Bed-sitting Ceremony(part Ii)
Holding the reincarnated child in her arms, and surrounded by the living Buddha of Gesang and several other old monks of the Zerg Temple, Yang Jiima slowly walked towards Ban Chan, who was sitting on the main platform. This was also an important process of the bedtime ceremony. Only with Ban Chan's approval could people's doubts be dispelled, and only then could they confirm that this spirit child was the reincarnation of the living Buddha.
When Ban Chan's hand covered the forehead of the spirit child, a rumbling sutra suddenly rang out in the field. The bronze bell and the bell inside the Zang Bo Temple also rang out at the same time, and the smoke from the burning incense candles was also much larger than before.
An ordinary person could only feel an incomparable calmness and tranquility from this voice. However, in Lin Bai's eyes, one could see a myriad of different types of faith energy actually converging onto the tiny body of the reincarnated spirit child. When he saw this, he couldn't help but let out a sigh. To have such a powerful faith ability when he was a baby, this little guy's future achievements would be limitless.
The ceremony went on in an orderly manner, one after another. After Ben Chan had blessed him, Ben Chan took the child from the arms of Yama Yama himself and began to offer sacrifices to the ancestors of Songzhama, Dazhalu, and Zongweba. Finally, under Ban Chan's leadership, he sat cross-legged on the lotus flower tower, like a Buddha, and began to receive the services of the congregation who had come to observe the ceremony.
If it were an ordinary child, they would have already cried out in horror upon seeing such a large crowd gathered in front of them. However, the boy did not seem to be aware of it. He squinted his eyes and appeared to be enjoying it. His small hand was even consciously holding onto a three feet long stick wrapped in colorful silk as he kept waving it in the air.
This step was the most important part of the bedtime ceremony. These believers firmly believed that as long as they were touched on the forehead by the colorful silk stick held by Ling Tong, they would obtain unparalleled glory and happiness.
Seeing that the Transcendent Spirit Children were so extraordinary, how could those believers still have any doubts? They kowtowed their long heads and walked towards the Transcendent Spirit Tong, respectfully offering the sacrifices they brought, then lightly touching the colored silk sticks in exchange for blessings.
The ceremony proceeded slowly, and all the believers were blessed. The boy changed into a yellow satin robe, a yellow satin cap, and high boots. Then, he lightly tapped his forehead with a red brush before placing him on a bed covered with yellow satin under a yellow satin canopy. Then, he was raised high in the air by a few iron rods.
Until this moment the ceremony was over. From then on, he could no longer be called a reincarnated spirit child. Instead, he would become a Zhu Gu, a living Buddha! Regardless of whether it was a white-haired old man or a baby boy, as long as they believed in the secret inheritance, they had to respect him enough to see him as the master of the temple. When he reached the age of 20, they could take over everything themselves.
Like a tsunami of chanting, Gesun living Buddha slowly walked forward and hugged Ling Tong. His eyes were filled with tears. A moment ago, Ban Chan had already sent out a decree. From today onwards, Gesun and living Buddha would be the teachers of the reincarnated spiritual child. "In his previous life, he had been a master and in this life he had been a disciple. No matter what, this was fate.
Looking at the scene before him, Lin Bai sighed in his heart. Although the matter of reincarnation seemed like it was intangible, in reality, it was something that could be traced. Moreover, it seemed as if everything had been predetermined. And for some reason, every time Lin Bai looked at the spirit child's clear eyes, he would feel that he was not looking at a child that had just fallen to the ground, but at an old man in flowery armor who had seen through the changes in the world.
He couldn't blame so many people who had been searching so hard for him, wanting to understand his previous life and his next life. In fact, this was the very principle that ran through human history: Where did you come from, and where did you go from?! No one could explain this question, no one could explain it. Even Lin Bai could only say that he had only scratched the surface, and had no way to explain it.
"Lin Bai, come with me. Ben Chan and I have some matters to discuss with you!" Just as Lin Bai was lamenting about these matters, Liu Junwen walked over quickly with a solemn expression.
Lin Bai nodded and nodded to Xiao Wei. Then, he followed Liu Junwen to the quiet room in the temple. Even if he were to use his toes to think about him, he could imagine that his second uncle was so serious for Dan Zhen's sake. That old man's identity was extremely unique and involved. Now that he had died in his hands for no reason, he had to come up with a way to explain and resolve the situation.
"This is the situation. As for how to deal with it, second uncle and Ben Chan will have to decide!" After explaining what happened during the battle with Dan Zhen, Lin Bai slowly spoke.
"Lin Bai, can you be sure that Dan Zhen is not a spiritual child that has reincarnated into the world, but that someone used a heaven-defying technique on him and changed the destiny between him and Luo Zhu, causing their lives to change?"
"How can there be such a thing in this world?" As the leader of the religious community, Little Ban Zen was very surprised by the mystery of the matter, not to mention an ordinary person like Liu Junwen. Lin Bai's words gave him quite a fright. If the person before him wasn't Lin Bai, but someone else, he wouldn't have believed it at all.
"I won't be wrong!" Lin Bai slowly nodded and continued in a deep voice, "If it wasn't for this reason, Dan Zhen wouldn't have used Luo Zhu's blood essence as a memorial!"
Ban Chan was silent when he heard this. Liu Junwen also frowned intently. They really couldn't understand who would do such a thing, and for what reason. However, they knew that regardless of what the person behind the scenes was for, they would never let it go so easily. It was likely that the entire area would be in turmoil for a period of time.
"General Liu, I will find some reliable people to carefully study this matter before deciding on how to make it known to the outside world." Please also inform the authorities that I will be able to give a satisfactory answer if you calmly wait for a few days. " The small class was silent for a long time, then revealed a matured expression that completely didn't match his face. He said to Lin Bai, "Lin Bai, please keep this matter a secret for us!"
"Don't worry Ban Chan. I am naturally clear about the details!" Lin Bai nodded slightly. What a joke. Dan Zhen's matter was extremely important, and would affect the stability of the Tibetan area. Even if he was given a hundred guts, he would not dare to speak carelessly about it.
"Very good!" Ban Chan let out a sigh of relief, and his face finally revealed a trace of a smile. He said to Lin Bai in a warm voice, "I wonder what plans you have. Are you planning to rest at the Zephyr Temple for a few days, or do you have some other plans?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Junwen's eyes also landed on Lin Bai's face, he wanted to hear what his eldest nephew was going to do next!
"I'm going to Jinling to investigate some things!" Lin Baiyun's eyes burned with passion as he enunciated each word clearly.
