Chapter 15 Bodhi Tree (2/2)
Ye Fan arrived beneath the tree Carefully observing the ancient Bodhi tree, he saw that the immense branches almost completely covered the top of the ancient teine thethe sun
At this moment, Ye Fan’s heart suddenly trereen leaves were overfloith sreen mist A small portion of the mist floated over to the five-colored altar while the rest of it was drawn into the tree’s roots
The green ly spilled out of the six green leaves It gave off an air of life, a boundless vitality and life energy
Ye Fan crouched down and dug at the tree root’s soil He wanted to know just what kind of object was down there that could actually condense the green mist from the Bodhi tree’s leaves
Underneath the soil, he didn’t find any ed to notice a Bodhi seed that lacked any luster No ray It was co attention he would probably have mistaken it for just another piece of dirt
The only unusual part of it was that Bodhi seeds were generally only as large as a fingernail, whereas this dull Bodhi seed was already as large as a walnut
Ye Fan suddenly had an areenit for a short reen mist flon, but once it was three inches away froh he didn’t see it absorb the leaves’ essence, he had basically confirrabbed this Bodhi seed into the pal it, he was startled to find that this dull and ordinary Bodhi seed had so veins These veins formed an unexpected pattern: the Buddha of Mercy The Buddha appeared as if it were made by the heavens and was completely natural It was completely formed from the seed’s veins, and yet it see
The Buddha pattern on the dull seed was si passed through it
“A natural drawing of Buddha; don’t tell o, Shakyahtenment under this Bodhi tree?”
The Bodhi tree had another name: the tree of wisdoend has it that a man who could do this would be at the first step of divinity, and reach cohtenh over his head, pointing it towards the five green leaves The greenfroreatly The boundless life energy beca towards the Bodhi seed However, all of it still disappeared three inches away fro Bodhi leaf released its last thread of greendust that floated down
Ye Fan was now coh the Bodhi seed appeared completely ordinary, it was definitely extraordinary and extreround was covered with fine powder This powder appeared just like what the leaf had turned into…was the Bodhi tree originally completely covered in leaves that had now shattered and become powder like this? This idea shocked Ye Fan
The Bodhi seed with the natural picture of the Buddha gave hiuely felt that it was even more important than that bronze ancient lamp that had been paired with the stone Buddha!
The Bodhi tree still had five green leaves on it, but they were no longer as sparkling as they were before Ye Fan didn’t continue with the leaves Just the seed was enough for him; he didn’t want to attract anyone else’s attention
At this moment, no one had come out of the Great Thunderchant Teain returned to the ancient teht people had now found more Buddhist iteold pestle behind the stone Buddha Although it had been buried under the dust for countless years, it was still resplendently bright, giving people a sense of hoerful it was If one end of it wasn’t daed, it would definitely be considered a perfect masterpiece
The pestle was a kind of scepter with a verybehind its name was to destroy enemies, and it was a sye to conquer everything and Tathata’s Buddhist nature, it was honored as a sacred staff
If this world had the existence of Buddha, this vajra scepter was undoubtedly a sacred item that was far beyond the ordinary It was said to be able to possess the mysterious power to breakmarvelous could be seen of it now
Liu Yunzhi once ht flashed like lightning, the brilliant glow giving it an extres that Gods left behind, and then if we could learn how to use the Liu Yunzhi say this, everyone searching seemed to have their minds enter a fantasy world
