Soul Painter

Chapter 296 The Story of the Buddha and the Tiger

Today's morning class at Daku Temple was interrupted.

The monks knocked on the door and told everyone not to come out, but to stay indoors.

Those who were lucky enough to see the long-toothed tiger under the moonlight did not dare to go out at all. What kind of tiger is that, it is clearly a giant beast.

When it was disturbed, it jumped up to the ridge of the Zen house, the moonlight was like a wheel, it stood proudly in the full moon, despising the human beings below, as if watching a group of food piled up.

...

next morning.

The police and the environmental protection department went to the Daku Temple to inspect the traces in front of Gao Fan's meditation room.

They saw huge paw prints. Experts said that the footprints were surprisingly large. An adult Siberian tiger weighed about 500 jin. Based on the footprints, it was inferred that the animal suspected of being a tiger weighed at least 800 jin to 1,000 jin.

According to the position of its minions embedded in the door, it can also be inferred that its length is between 3.5 and 3.8 meters. What kind of concept is that? It stands up to a floor!

"It's impossible for Siberian tigers to be so big, and given the environment in Qi County, it's impossible for Siberian tigers to appear." The expert shook his head repeatedly.

But these footprints, these claw marks, and the crowds of monks and laymen who witnessed it cannot be fake, especially since the Daku Temple has surveillance cameras.

After recalling the surveillance data from last night, all the experts shut their mouths when they saw the white, huge tiger, which looked like a beast, coming in and out of the temple like no one else, but they began to gasp heavily in their nostrils. He was angry, and his eyes glowed.

"Saber-toothed tiger! My God! A saber-toothed tiger!" The expert was going crazy.

What a miracle that a legendary creature from 10,000 years ago appeared in the world in a big way.

Boiling crowd.

Gao Fan cannot be infected.

He was hugging God in the meditation room, and he still had some lingering fears at the moment. If it wasn't for the Buddha's manifestation... Bah! I painted the Buddha myself, but if it wasn't for the ringing of the bell in the temple and the crowd of monks, Gao Fan and God would have turned into shreds of meat in the teeth of the giant tiger and abandoned bones by the roadside.

Experts don't know why saber-toothed cats arose.

Gao Fan knew it.

That's his sixth coordinate.

Obviously.

In Daku Temple, under the care of the unreasonable power of the "Great Existence: Buddha", as Gao Fan got a closer glimpse of the true face of the "Great Existence: Buddha", other coordinates bound to the Buddha are also emerging.

The saber-toothed tiger thousands of years ago, traveling through time to the present, is the proof.

Compared with the saber-toothed tiger, the weird stele that 'opens when you meet a height' is even more terrifying to Gao Fan. What are the barnacle-like things that make up the stele? Gao Fan couldn't guess, but every time he thought of it, he would tremble like goosebumps.

...

The environmental protection department began to cooperate with the police to search for the saber-toothed tiger.

Gao Fan felt that there was little hope.

He has also retrieved the tiger's footprints, and now his 'investigation' skill is as high as 75. If he is a detective, he can also make a name for himself, but his pursuit only ends outside the temple.

The footprints of the saber-toothed tiger are extremely gentle, and they have strong anti-detection capabilities. After jumping out of the Buddhist temple, they actually knew to take a bath in the reservoir to wash away all the possibility of being traced. This must be animal instinct. After all, a killer, Also beware of being hunted down.

...

"Layman, are you frightened?" Miao Chan came to comfort Gao Fan.

"It's really scary." Gao Fan nodded honestly.

"It's a good thing that the bronze bell rang by itself last night, which disturbed the monster, so that it didn't cause harm to the layman. It can be seen that the Buddha has a spirit and protects the layman." Miao Chan said.

"Yeah." Gao Fan nodded again and again, "The Buddha has a spirit, Amitabha."

The bone-flesh Buddha in inspiration showed a benevolent smile towards Gao Fan.

After Gao Fan painted hundreds of times in the past few days, the Bone and Flesh Buddha is no longer as terrifying as when he entered the temple. It seems that Gao Fan's terrazzo skills are still in place, at least the direction is right.

In this regard, Gao Fan has a more upgraded idea.

"Abbot, I see that the Hall of Thousand Buddhas has been built in the temple." Gao Fan said to Miaochan, "Shall I draw Buddha statues for the temple?"

The Thousand Buddha Hall is one of the newly built buildings in the temple. It is not the one donated by Lawrence and Gao Fan. What they donated is the stupa. There are many Buddhas, those who have money build copper, and those who have no money make murals. The Daku Temple is obviously the kind that has no money.

"The layman is a well-known painter all over the country. Are you really willing to paint Buddhas for the Thousand Buddha Temple?" Miao Chan was pleasantly surprised, "This is a great merit!"

"It's easy to talk about." Gao Fanheshi said.

Inspired by the flesh and blood Buddha, he smiled more and more cordially.

...

Lawrence heard that Gao Fan encountered a tiger in the temple, and it was a saber-toothed tiger—the news was simply outrageous, no wonder once the news spread, it was regarded as a hype, but Lawrence felt that Gao Fan would not surprise him with anything, So he strongly urged Gao Fan to leave the Great Kuji Temple, at least temporarily, to avoid danger, and wait for the tiger to be caught before going back to become a monk.

Of course Gao Fan knew that unless he returned to Boston, the place favored by the silver key, the saber-toothed tiger would follow him wherever he went.

But now when he goes back, Gao Fan is not reconciled. He has completed at least one-tenth of the project for the "Great Existence: Buddha" portrait, and he is sure that this must be a great work, with thirty-two faces and eighty accompanying figures He was deeply attracted by the good meaning, and his skills were improving. It was rare to have such a clear direction, how could he give up.

"It's okay, Lu Zhi will come to protect me." Gao Fan said to Lawrence on the phone, "She's here, everything will be fine."

Before he could say these words, Gao Fan suddenly felt suffocated by the smile of the flesh-and-blood Buddha in his inspiration.

The benevolent smile that was originally smiling at flowers suddenly became sinking, showing anger.

Buddha is not happy.

Inspiration.

It was stormy.

Ten-meter-tall Buddha.

Except for the Buddha's head, the white granulation all over his body suddenly stretched out, like seaweed dancing wildly, and also seduced the sky thunder. Amidst the thunder and lightning, Gao Fan's sanity encountered a major crisis, and a wave came suddenly '-2'.

Gao Fan frowned and withdrew from the inspiration.

I wondered whether the Buddha didn't like Mi Mao's daughter Lu Zhi, or didn't like me being in a safe place... Gao Fan went to Miao Chan to study what the Buddha would do when he encountered a tiger.

"The Buddha has the goodness of cutting meat to feed eagles and feeding tigers with his body." Miao Chan said, "I will tell the story of these Buddhist scriptures to laymen..."

Gao Fan listened piously, while secretly thinking, the old bald donkey, the Buddha, wouldn't let me feed the tiger?

...

Feeding the tiger may improve Gao Fan's merits and beliefs quickly, and let the Buddha show his true colors to Gao Fan sooner, but Gao Fan feels that the drama may be over for this sake.

Painting Buddha statues is slow, but safe.

So from the next day, apart from following the rhythm of the Great Ku Temple, Gao Fan would sleep for four hours and eat one meal every day. When the laymen next to him went to work on the construction site, he would go to the Thousand Buddha Hall to study this hall and prepare for it. Draw on it... well, since it's called the Thousand Buddha Hall, let's draw 1000 Buddhas.

This creative direction is somewhat similar to the creation of paintings in Provence churches, but there is no need to paint the ceiling, so it is simpler. With experience in Provence, Gao Fan first spent about a week consulting Buddhist scriptures and completed the overall conceptual composition. Zen confirmed.

Miao Chan looked at the layout drawn by Gao Fan on the sample and expressed his admiration, because Gao Fan used a creative method similar to the Bible "Genesis" to tell the stories of Buddha one by one.

From dreaming of a white elephant to being a holy man, to being able to speak and walk and walking on a golden lotus after birth, to enlightening under the Bodhi tree...and so on, Gao Fan is going to use master-level skills to complete 1,000 different Buddha images , is the same Buddha, but in 1000 forms.
