The movie world has a beautiful ghost

Chapter 121 Buddhist Talisman

Zhang Haoran watched from the side and shook his head, laughing.

"What the hell is that? I haven't even seen it clearly yet, and you're so stingy!" Ikkyu said unhappily.

Simu raised his hand, holding a purple talisman in his hand, and said proudly: "Here, do you see it clearly? Do you know what this is? I can tell you have no experience at first glance..."

Ikkyu didn't even listen to him chattering. He just stared at the purple talisman with his eyes fixed on it, his heart surging with emotions.

"Amazing, it's really amazing!" He said and was about to take it.

"Hey! What are you doing! This is a treasure, how can you touch it!" Simu quickly dodged.

Ikkyu said angrily and amusedly: "I just took a look. You know that we Buddhists also have talismans. I just wanted to observe them. I have never seen a talisman with such a magical charm. Look at how stingy you are."

Zhang Haoran also knew something about this. Buddhism itself did not have talismans. It was only after it came to the Central Plains and was influenced by Taoism that some Buddhist talismans were developed.

In later archaeological excavations, most of these symbols were unearthed from Dunhuang, proving this point.

For example, the most famous "Botou Moyin", "Ruyi Mani Mantra Seal", "Amulet", "Swastika Seal", etc. are all typical references to Taoist talismans, and you can tell at a glance.

In fact, Indian Buddhism does not have these at all. The biggest feature of these Buddhist symbols is that they do not contain Indian Sanskrit seed characters or Sanskrit. They all use variants of Chinese characters, which are actually compound characters "Fuwen".

For example, the most common compound character in our folk culture is “招财进宝”, which is common in our daily life.

Therefore, the so-called Buddhist symbols are completely products of Chinese culture. Of course, if you insist that Buddhism is spread throughout the universe and therefore it is also a product of Buddhism, I have nothing to say.

In short, there are no talismans in primitive Buddhism, they only exist in Chinese Buddhism.

Simu was not really afraid that the old monk would snatch it away, and he also knew that he was not that kind of person.

"Here, look, be careful, this is something I use to save my life." Simu was afraid that the old monk would activate the talisman in excitement, and then he would have no place to cry.

"Hey, don't worry, I don't want yours."

After Ikkyu took the talisman, he looked at the patterns on it carefully and rubbed it gently with his fingers.

The rune lines that he drew with his fingers began to light up and emit golden light.

"What a terrifying power!" Ikkyu exclaimed as he felt the aura emanating from it.

He returned it to Simu with some reluctance, and the latter quickly took it back and stuffed it into his arms.

"I wonder if this talisman is Zhang Xiaoyou's masterpiece?" Yixiu said.

"Huh? How do you know this was drawn by my nephew?" Simu sighed in his heart that this old monk was very smart.

Yixiu smiled and said, "Guess? I don't understand your personality. If you had any good stuff, you would have taken it out long ago and showed it off in front of me. You didn't have it before, but you took it out just when Zhang Xiaoyou came. What's so hard about guessing?"

"Hmph! You stinky monk, you are so cunning!" Simu said with a sneer.

Ikkiu ignored him and looked at Zhang Haoran.

"Yes, I drew it." Zhang Haoran nodded in acknowledgement.

"Haha, little friend Zhang is truly a genius. Could you please do me, the old monk, a favor?" Ikkyu said with a smile.

"Oh? Master, please go ahead." Zhang Haoran said.

Ikkyu took out a booklet from his bosom, handed it to Zhang Haoran and said: "This is my Buddhist talisman, which I compiled into a book. There are some powerful talismans in it, but my Buddhist knowledge is too low to draw them, so they are useless to me.

So I would like to ask you to think about it. I will give you this talisman book. If you gain something in the future, you can give me eight or ten of them to save your life."

Simu laughed angrily: "Hey, you stinky monk, you are quite shrewd. You gave my nephew a broken talisman book that is of no use to you, and then you asked my nephew to give you talismans, and you even gave me 10 or 10 talismans! How could you think of that!"

"Hey~ What are you talking about..."

The two were arguing while Zhang Haoran was flipping through a book.

Just as he thought, the rune pattern above was very different from that of Taoism, and he could understand it at a glance.

"Vajra Talisman", "Anuttara Samyaksambodhi Talisman", "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva Four-Sentence Talisman", "Pure Land Seven Treasures Talisman", "Great Victory Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara Note", etc.

The most powerful of these are the Buddhist six-syllable mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum" and the swastika.

I remember that Tathagata used the six-word mantra to suppress Monkey King.

Of course, this also depends on his cultivation level. Even if he could draw it now, its power would only be comparable to the Purple Thunder Talisman.

However, since he was a cultivator, he didn't know whether he could draw the Buddhist talisman. Although he used the same spiritual power, he would definitely need to study Buddhism, which was obviously not something that could be done in a short time.

After thinking for a while, he understood the old monk's intention and said, "Master Yixiu, this talisman is indeed a good thing, but I have no knowledge of Buddhism, and it will definitely take more than three to five years to draw it.

How about this? I'll exchange five Purple Thunder Talismans with you. They are all activated by mana, so they won't affect your use, and they are equally powerful. What do you think?"

"Okay! Deal!" Ikkyu said hurriedly.

Zhang Haoran was not surprised. He agreed so readily because he had planned this in advance.

"Hey! Nephew, you can't be fooled by this old monk. A tattered book in exchange for five lives, only a stinky monk can think of it!" Si Mu glared at the monk.

Ikkyu didn't argue with him, but just watched with a smile.

"Uncle master, it's okay. There are indeed some good things in Master Ikkyu's talisman book. I think it's worth it. Besides, I can draw it when I have time in the future. It won't be gone once I use it up." Zhang Haoran said.

Then he pretended to take out five purple thunder talismans from his pocket and handed them to Master Ikkyu.

Seeing this, Simu wanted to grab it, but Ikkiu had already expected this and made his move before him, and his speed was extremely fast.

I'm not worried that the talisman will be torn. After all, talismans of this level will not be burned even if they are placed in fire as long as they are not activated by magic.

"Hehehe, Simu, now I have it too. Let's see if you still want to show off in front of me." Ikkyu said proudly as he shook the talisman in his hand.

"Hmph!" Simu leaned back in his chair and ignored him.

"Hey~ look at your petty look." Ikkyu felt bored and put away the talisman carefully.

"Hey! You stinky monk, don't make yourself uncomfortable. I don't want to pay attention to you." Simu rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. I want to tell you something serious and I need your help." Ikkyu said seriously.
