Chapter 143: Glowing Buddha Tooth

Zhao Yan was about to enter the treasure building where Buddha teeth relics were worshipped, but suddenly he heard someone calling him. He turned his head to look in the voice, but he saw a fat monk looking at him with a smile on his face. He saw the other person with a round head and big ears on his face, which had a bit of Maitreya Buddha's style. At first, Zhao Yan only felt that the other person was very familiar with him, but he couldn't call him a name for a while.

"What? Have you forgotten the Xiangji Banquet back then?" Perhaps seeing the hesitation in Zhao Yan's eyes, the fat monk suddenly spoke again, with a smile on his face.

"Ah! You are the Leyuan!" Zhao Yan finally remembered that the fat monk in front of him was the senior brother of Xu Yuan when he became a monk, Foyin, the famous monk in history. He was Su Shi's good friend. He had attended the incense banquet held by Xu Yuan with Zhao Yan before, but Foyin was not as fat as he is now. Moreover, after the separation in the capital, Zhao Yan had not seen him for many years, so he did not recognize him all at once.

"Haha~, Your Highness finally recognized me. I haven't seen you for many years. Your Highness is still in style, which makes people feel disappointed!" Le Yuan laughed at this time. At this time, he had been named Zen Master Fayin by the court, but some old friends still like to call him the Dharma name Leyuan, so now when he heard Zhao Yan say his Dharma name, Leyuan felt very friendly.

"Haha~, I didn't expect to meet you here, but I haven't seen you for many years, and you are fatter than you did back then. It seems that you must have tasted many delicious foods from all over the years!" Zhao Yan also laughed at this time. Le Yuan's temperament is humorous and interesting, so Zhao Yan is so joking.

When he heard Zhao Yan say he was fat, he saw Yuan deliberately patting his big belly and said, "As the saying goes, a big belly can tolerate things that are hard tolerant in the world. I have no other ability, so I can only use my belly to express my heart towards Buddha."

What Le Yuan said was interesting. As a result, not only Zhao Yan laughed again, but Cao Ying and others around him couldn't help but smile. Yan Yuru and Xue Ning'er looked at each other and then went forward to greet each other. Speaking of which, they were also old friends at Xiangji Banquet back then. Especially Yan Yuru was Xu Yuan's sister. When he could see Yuan here, he naturally had to salute him on behalf of his brother.

"Amitabha, congratulations to the two ladies for finding the best home!" When Le Yuan saw Yan Yuru and Xue Ning, he immediately bowed again. When he was at the Xiangji Banquet, he did not expect that these two most famous tourist leaders in Tokyo were included in the palace by Zhao Yan.

"Luyuan, when did you come to the Lion Kingdom?" Zhao Yan smiled and asked at Yuan, and the other party appeared here. Without asking, he knew that it must be for the Buddha's tooth relic, but I don't know if he had seen the Buddha's tooth relic?

"Your Highness, I came here two months ago and have been practicing Buddhism at the Buddha Tooth Ceremony. I didn't expect to see Your Highness today, so I came to meet you!" Le Yuan said with a smile again.

Zhao Yan was also very happy to meet an old friend here. He invited Yuan to visit the Buddha Tooth Relic, which also made Yuan very excited, because although he had been here for two months, he had never seen the true face of the Buddha Tooth Relic. Instead, he could only recite scriptures under the high-rise building. This is not because the monks from the Lion Kingdom did not allow him to see it. But for the safety of the Buddha Tooth Relic, there were already regulations in the Buddha Tooth Relic. Generally, the high-rise building will only be opened every March to welcome the Buddha Tooth. No one is allowed to enter the high-rise building at any time. Of course, this time Zhao Yan's arrival made an exception for the high-rise building in the Lion Kingdom.

When Zhao Yan and others entered the treasure building where Buddha teeth were worshipped. When they first entered the gate, monks immediately sprinkled perfume and spices on them, and then went up the stairs and finally arrived at the roof. Then they saw a huge crystal treasure box on the central platform, which was divided into several layers. Just like a nesting doll in later generations, they were placed one by one, and in the middle of the crystal treasure box, a small platform was placed on the platform. A picture of exquisite silk was placed on the silk, and a Buddha tooth about a few inches long was quietly lying on the silk. The whole Buddha tooth was yellow-white, and it looked very mysterious like jade but not jade.

"Is this the Buddha's tooth?" Zhao Yan carefully looked at the Buddha's tooth in the crystal treasure box, and a surprised expression appeared on his face, because although this Buddha's tooth is the shape of a tooth, it is a bit too large. According to the size of this Buddha's tooth, I'm afraid the Buddha must be a giant several meters tall.

In contrast, Le Yuan and others did not have such doubts as Zhao Yan at all. They were standing there with a solemn face, holding their hands together and chanting scriptures silently, even Cao Ying and the others were no exception. Zhao Yan curled his lips with some disdain. It was really difficult for him to have any firm belief in any religion.

However, just when Zhao Yan was doubting the authenticity of the Buddha's teeth, he suddenly saw the Buddha's teeth in the crystal box move slightly, and then the entire Buddha's teeth relic floated up suddenly, and the Buddha's teeth also emitted dazzling white light, which made people dare not look directly at it.

"This...what is going on?" Zhao Yan was so scared that he almost jumped up because this was the first time he encountered something that could not be explained by his knowledge, which greatly impacted his worldview and even doubted whether he had hallucinations?

"Buddha Light! The Buddha has appeared!" Seeing the Buddha's teeth floating and glowing, the Lion King and others who came with Zhao Yan all shouted excitedly. As for Cao Ying and others behind Zhao Yan, they all opened their eyes wide and showed an expression of disbelief. After all, this scene was beyond their imagination.

"When a Buddha's tooth relic meets someone who is destined to be a Buddha, it will emit Buddha's light. It seems that this rumor is true!" At this time, the fat and big-bodied Leyuan also spoke excitedly, and looked at Zhao Yan specifically when he spoke, because among them, it seems that only Zhao Yan is qualified to make the Buddha's tooth relic shine.

"This..." Zhao Yan also felt at a loss at this time. After all, the scene in front of him was too strange. With Yuan's words, he couldn't help but wonder if he was really a person who was destined to be Buddha?

The Buddha Tooth Relic did not last long, and soon the dazzling white light dimmed. Then the Buddha Tooth Relic slowly fell to its original position, and the surface slowly turned into the original yellow-white, which seemed to be no different from before, and even made people wonder whether what happened just now was true or false?

However, at this time, the Lion King and others also reacted and worshiped the Buddha's tooth relics. Although Zhao Yan did not believe in Buddhism, the facts just now were too strange, so he finally followed everyone to worship, but his heart couldn't calm down for a long time. (To be continued.)
