Skynet Architect

"Well, every step is a story, and the steps that spiral up the mountain are all stories?" The old monk Huijing found it incredible. Although there are many Buddhist stories, he wants to cover the entire mountain. That is still very difficult.

Only Si Fan smiled slightly. There were 10,000 steps in total, connecting the places on the mountain.The main steps are 5301 steps. If you want to climb the mountain, you have to climb these 5301 steps. It is conceivable that it is very difficult to climb the mountain here.

As for why it is 5301 steps, this is actually some connotation of Buddhism.Buddhism's steps are generally 53 steps, the number is odd, because of the yin and yang theory, the odd number is the yang number!If it's a cloudy number of steps, isn't it going to hell?

Looking at this step, the old monk Hui Hui silently saluted Si Fan and said, "Amitabha."

He didn’t speak much, and then he continued to look at the whole design. The steps circled the mountain and finally connected to the temple gate on the mountain, but this is not the case for this temple. The end of the temple steps is in front of a waterfall, which is next to the waterfall. There is a location, there is a small house that looks more like an ancient building.

Huijing looked at the small house and asked suspiciously, "What is this house for?"

He pointed to a building that looked rather peculiar, but its overall shape had never been seen in Buddhist classics and standards.

Si Fan smiled awkwardly. He pointed to this place and said, this is actually not a Buddhist building, it is just an elevator, in order to facilitate tourists to go directly up the mountain."

A word made Huijing catch the point.

"Tourists? That means there are still pilgrims?" Huijing said.

Because the whole design is here, it has not been displayed, but the whole elevator is displayed, and various places on the mountain are shown. There are so many steps on both sides of the place where it is a tourist attraction. This attraction looks like There is something ancient.

One of the places is a stone bridge. This stone bridge is quite old, probably several hundred years old. It looks very old. The name written on the bridge is Ananda Bridge.

On the opposite side of the bridge, there is nowhere to go, you can directly enter the mountain, and this side of the bridge is the temple, under the bridge is a small creek, all the waterways on the mountain are very gentle, but here is the whole The only rushing place in the mountain, you can only cross the bridge if you want to cross the river.

But in fact this bridge is useless, because the place leading here is a forest.

"Where is this place?" Huijing asked, pointing to the forest, which was the pure old forest.

Si Fan pointed here and said, this is called Ananda Bridge, don't you think it is suitable for tourists to travel?On the opposite side, I am going to build a hotel for love-related accommodation, where I can spend the night.There are not so many places to stay in the whole mountain.

Hye Jung was suddenly frustrated. Of course I knew the story of Ananda Bridge, but what I couldn't think of was that you actually wanted to make money with this story.

Si Fan smiled slightly, the story actually still had a full Zen mind.

It was a very tangled story. It was about Venerable Ananda, one of the ten largest disciples of the Buddha.

Venerable Ananda is the younger brother of Devadatta and the cousin of the Buddha, one of the top ten disciples of the Buddha.

Ananda said to the Buddha: I like a woman.

The Buddha asked Ananda: How do you like this woman?

Ananda said: I would like to be like a stone bridge, and be exposed to the 500-year wind, 500-year sun, and 500-year rain, and I just ask her to pass the bridge.

The Buddha said: "It can be seen how you like it? But love at first sight makes you fall in love forever? But don't ask for rewards and wait for it?

You understand all of this, and still only accept the suffering of creation for that encounter."

"Ananda, how much do you like the woman passing by the bridge, making you abandon your life and suffer the suffering of love?"

After that, Venerable Ananda turned into a stone bridge and waited silently for the woman, 500 years of wind blowing, 500 years of sun, and 500 years of rain, just to make the woman look at herself again.

Finally one day, the woman reincarnated and came to this place again.Walk on the Ananda Bridge.

But she didn't look at Ananda who was incarnate in Ananda Bridge.Never thanked the bridge.

However, when the Buddha asked Ananda again, Ananda finally said something that shocked Si Fan the most. It was this sentence that made Si Fan decide to keep this bridge as one of the attractions here.

"As long as I wait until she is enough, I can turn into a bridge and cross her to the other side of the river. I'm already content!"

In one sentence, there is not much Zen, but all the love in the world is transformed into this sentence.

However, when Si Fan checked the information, he found that this is not the case in this world. It was just a story portrayed on an ordinary bridge in this wild mountain.

The true version of Venerable Ananda is just talking, not incarnate as a bridge, let alone waiting for this girl, everything is a debate with the Buddha.

How could such a story make more people feel the same, let alone feel the true meaning of this story from the bottom of my heart.

Looking at this modified version handed down from ancient times, it is even more miserable and even more bleak. The story is portrayed on the bridge in this way. The Ananda Bridge itself is even more ancient and unbearable. It seems that it is about to be destroyed and is crumbling. The last persistence is left.

Seeing everything, Si Fan felt sour in his heart.

He felt that he still liked the version recorded on the Ananda Bridge built by the ancients, not the circulated version.

The ancient charm of Ananda Bridge seems to be going through my own love, waiting for the woman I only want to see for 500 years of wind, 500 years of sun, and 500 years of rain.

This story is even more touching.

"Master, I want to keep this apostate version, I don't know what you think?" Si Fan asked the old monk beside him.

Huijing nodded and said, "Amitabha Buddha, this is a good deed for you, the benefactor! This bridge is not built by you, and all cause and effect have nothing to do with you. This bridge is here. No one has come to demolish this bridge for hundreds of years. , It’s just about karma, don’t you think?"

The old monk played a dumb riddle. It seemed that he didn't say anything, and what he said was all nonsense, but he took all the responsibilities from Si Fan.

It is impossible for anyone to trouble him. If they want to demolish it, it is even more impossible, because Si Fan has long thought of a solution and directly applied for the protection of the monument.

When the time comes, the group of monks can't help it.
