Soul Painter

Now it's discussion time.

And since the matter was mysterious, Gao Fan could only discuss it with himself.

"First of all, how can you be sure that the Buddha is the Buddha and not made of some demon?" Gao Zhengdao asked Gao Fan, "Even if you created a ceremony for him, can you really connect 400 million believers around the world? Can you really create a great painting ?”

After asking, Gao Zhengdao said again: "I am sure, that is the real Buddha, a great existence with 400 million followers, I use my reputation as a 'Law' as a guarantee."

Finally, Gao Zhengdao said: "Since this is the case, I believe you. Let's find a way to gain His trust and become His believers."

Note that the above three paragraphs are all said by the law.

"I'm stupid... My schizophrenia is also schizophrenic..." Gao Fan muttered to himself, is this a nesting doll?

"I'm all right, just to help you confirm your choice. This mission is too long. I'm afraid I won't last until the end, so hurry up. I actually don't care about what you can create, I only care about what you can create." Where is the last coordinate leading to the eternal devil, this is a good opportunity to solve it once." Gao Zhengdao said with a sigh.

Then he said to himself: "Yeah, I don't care about your boring creative project, and, to be honest, I'm more or less sick in my mind to compete with myself, why do I have to create great works? Even if you draw fifty million dollars and put it in the coffin, you won’t be able to spend it all.”

Who is sick...Gao Fan didn't dare to speak anymore, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to tell who was speaking and who was himself.

...

There is no need for Gao Zhengdao's affirmation.

Gao Fan has confirmed that the Buddha is really a Buddha.

A rare subject figure who can draw great works.

Besides, he still has three coordinates on him!

So he has decided.

And Gao Fan who went crazy.

is unstoppable.

Lawrence was fascinated by the scene described by Gao Fan, imagining that it was a great work that 400 million Buddhists would be crazy about.

Although I don't know how Gao Fan will do it, Gao Fan has always been reliable when it comes to creation, just like he has always been unreliable when it comes to all issues other than creation.

So Lawrence eventually became Gao Fan's helper.

This way there is almost no hindrance.

The idea of ​​becoming a monk.

Originally, it was just a sentence that Gao Fan uttered casually.

But as he tried to paint the flesh and blood Buddha in his inspiration.

This idea becomes more concrete and real.

In Gao Fan's surprise study of Buddhist scriptures, there are indeed some descriptions about "the heart of a Bodhisattva and the means of thunderbolt". In front of demons, the Buddha is terrifying. Gao Fan who believes in the silver key is no different from demons in the eyes of the Buddha.

This demon also wants to subdue him by drawing a picture of him.

It is reasonable for the Buddha to fight back.

So Gao Fan changed his thinking and tactics, he couldn't defeat the enemy, he just joined them.

To become a monk is the most concrete form of surrender.

Didn't the Bone and Flesh Buddha also say that if you want to paint him, you have to take refuge?

But now there are 400 million Buddhists in the world, half of them are in China, and the rest are in other Asian countries, Thailand, Japan, etc., so if you want to become a monk, the choice is naturally in China.

As for which to choose.

Gao Fan was prepared to make a choice and compare.

...

Shaolin Temple.

Facing the world-renowned painter who came in a hurry.

The master abbot introduced to Gao Fan: "The temple has a history of 1,800 years and is known as the first ancient temple in the world. Laymen who want to practice here will surely be able to master the scriptures as soon as possible, understand Buddhist principles, and calm their minds and wisdom. It is very beneficial. Layman's painting creation."

Gao Fan looked at the fat body and luxurious monk's robes of this eminent monk of the Shizi generation, and he also visited the food of Shaolin Temple. Fan was not too hungry, and looked very good, so he had a good meal here.

"Is this vegetarian?" Lawrence was also amazed, unable to eat it at all.

"Vegetarian Vegetarian Banquet." The master abbot introduced with a smile, "If a layman chooses to meditate in Shaolin Temple, these are the daily meals of the layman. We can jointly hold a press conference and invite journalists from all over the world to participate. Preheating, and secondly, it can also promote the influence of oriental culture in the world, benefit the country and the people, and have the best of both worlds."

"The third pair of Shaolin Temple is also a propaganda, right?" Lawrence laughed. He could smell the business experience in the abbot's bones, and he was a very good businessman.

And Gao Fan looked at the huge money symbol in the abbot's "distorted" field of vision, and shook his head, it's not bad to come here for tourism, but it's better to forget about coming here to seek Buddhist scriptures.

"Although you can't stay here if you become a monk, you will choose this place for your next recuperation." Gao Fan finally said, "The food is very good, and the abbot's speech is also very pleasant to listen to."

...

Lingyin Temple.

It is a tourist attraction.

...

White Horse Temple.

Still a tourist attraction.

...

Donglin Temple.

It's still an attraction.

...

Gao Fan traveled all over the country, but he had a good look at the Buddhist culture.

In addition, he found that as long as he didn't talk about creation with Lawrence, and only cared about the Buddhist culture, the Buddha in his inspiration would not be so indescribably scary.

And as long as it is said that the purpose of becoming a monk and worshiping the Buddha is to create, the inspiration of the Buddha will become especially terrifying.

"Sincere heart, sincere mouth first." Gao Fan said to himself.

...

"Let's change our thinking." Lawrence ran with Gao Fan for half a month, only thinking that the Buddhist holy place Gao Fan idealized should not exist, "Maybe we invite some eminent monks to teach you scriptures and classes, which will also be beneficial What about your creation?"

"It's impossible to build a car behind closed doors, and the eminent monks who can be invited to the door are not so high." Gao Fan thought, if it is impossible, choose one of the above-mentioned temples, shave your head, wear a cassock, and recite scriptures. Maybe the flesh and blood Buddha will be confused .

"There is another temple to visit." Lawrence gave Gao Fan a name.

Daku Temple.

"This is known as the 'No. 1 Court in the World', but the temple has only been built for more than 20 years. Why don't you go and have a look?" Lawrence suggested.

"I seem to have heard of it." Gao Fan nodded.

...

A day later, Gao Fan arrived at the Great Kuji Temple.

Daku Temple is located in a mountain depression in Qixian County, Liao Province. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides. Before the entrance, it passes a Fangsheng Reservoir. The bigger the gate, the more buildings, the more brilliant the golden body, the deeper the virtue.

Gao Fan stood at the gate of the mountain, looking at the mountains and buildings in the mountain, listening to the melodious and quiet Buddhist voice in the mountain.

Wave after wave of the distant world background sound of "Amituofo", like a bird coming out of the valley, hovering and flying around Gao Fan's ear, making the huge and terrifying flesh and bone Buddha in the fragments of Gao Fan's inspiration become have to be harmonious.

The wormy hairs on his head turned into real hair, the divine light on the bones behind him also turned into real golden light, the throne under his feet turned into a lotus flower, and there was even a compassionate smile on his face, although, this It was only for a moment, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into the terrifying appearance of the Flesh and Flesh Buddha, which destroys human reason, but at least, He smiled.

It is worthy of being the number one Taoist temple in the world. When the Buddha arrives here, it is as if he has returned home.

Gao Fan looked at the mountain and the temple, and said softly, "That's it."

...

Half an hour later, Gao Fan met Master Miaochan, the abbot of Daku Temple.

Master Miaochan wears a patched monk's robe, and his two slanted outward eyebrows look a little bit bitter, but every wrinkle on his face looks peaceful and optimistic, including the uneven beard stubble, so bittersweet and happy , he saw an interesting calm in him.

"As a well-known artist at home and abroad, Gaofan Layman wants to experience Buddhist culture and create literary works based on it. Dabei Temple is very welcome." Master Miaochan said with a smile: "But Gaofan Layman can also Take your hair to practice, be a determined layman, and experience Buddhist culture."

"Abbot, I must become a monk, with my head shaved." Gao Fan said.

"The practice of Daku Temple is ascetic meditation, and the lay people can't hold it." Miaochan said.

"My heart is very sincere, and I am not afraid of suffering." Gao Fan said.

"That's good, that's good." Miao Chan smiled again.

...

Miao Chan used the electric clipper to push away Gao Fan's three thousand troubles, and then carefully shaved Gao Fan's hair without a single wound. It can be seen that Miao Chan also used an old razor.

And Gao Fan stroked his slightly prickly scalp, and asked Miaoxiang: "Abbot, it doesn't feel right."

"You have to shave often, and it takes a long time to feel like me." Miao Chan said, pointing to his iron-gray scalp.

"I saw those shiny scalps in the movie, what's going on?" Gao Fan was confused.

"It was oiled, and we also oiled it on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year." Miao Chan explained.

"Where is Jie Scar?" Gao Fan asked again.

"Because it harmed the health of monks, the central government issued a document to stop it in 1983." Miao Chan said, "You see, I don't have any."

Gao Fan felt regretful.

That's not pious enough.
