"Oh, there are still things that Xiaoyou can't recognize, take them out and take a look." Hearing Fang You's words, Old Chu couldn't help but say with some surprise.

When it comes to antique knowledge and attainments, Fang You's current level is not inferior to him, but this thing can make Fang You powerless, which makes Chu Lao surprised at the same time, and he can't help but have some expectations.

Fang You nodded, and immediately took out this object, the cylinder was hollow, the inside and outside were clean, and the color like jade was in the sun, exuding a soft light.

The moment he saw this thing, Chu Lao's face suddenly changed, and he was extremely surprised, "Relic." ”

"Xiaoyou, give me something." While saying these three words, Chu Lao couldn't help but take the object from Fang You's hand, looked at it over and over, and the expression on his face was even more shocked, "What I guessed just now is right, this is a relic." ”

Relic, hearing these three words, except for Bertaman, everyone at the scene couldn't help but show a shocked expression on their faces, Chen Zongyi, Li Zhijun, Wang Zijian, Ye Yuqing, not to mention Fang You, the shock on their faces was stronger than everyone else.

Relic, although he guessed that it was related to the Buddha, he was far from guessing that this would be a relic.

For the Chinese people, relics are naturally a well-known thing, not only mentioned in major myths and stories, but even in reality, there are such magical things.

The relics are crystals left behind by the cremation of accomplished monks and Buddhist believers.

Fang You didn't know much about relics, and all along, in his impression, relics were in the shape of round beads.

Thinking of this, Fang You couldn't help but ask with some doubts: "Old Chu, aren't relics generally round, but this thing is so strange." "For things like relics, he doesn't have the depth of antique research at all.

Hearing Fang You's words, Old Chu smiled, still with surprise on his face, "This is not an ordinary relic, you have all heard more or less about the origin of the relic, the relic is a crystalline object obtained by cremation after the death of Taoist monks and Buddhist believers. ”

"These crystalline objects are not the same as the bones of ordinary dead people, its shape is ever-changing, there are round, oval, lotus-shaped, some Buddha-like or bodhisattva-like, its color is also changeable, there are white, black, red, yellow, green and other colors, and what is more amazing is the material of the relics, some like pearls, some like agate, some like crystals, some transparent, some radiant, like diamonds."

"And this relic, no, it should not be called a relic, the relic is just the name of those round granular crystals, and this cylindrical hollow crystalline object should be called a finger bone relic, which is more rare than ordinary relics, the relics are the crystals of the bones left after the cremation of the monks."

"After some monks are cremated, there will be relics left in all parts of their body, like jade and not jade, like white jade is bone relics, which are crystallization of various bones in the body, and the black ones are hair relics, and the red relics are made of muscles after cremation."

Chu Lao stroked this finger bone relic with a pious gaze, "At the first glance when I saw this thing, I knew that it was a relic, a bone relic, its color is white, like jade and not jade, the light is white, the inside and outside are clean, and the one on it gives people a warm and peaceful atmosphere, which is something that others cannot forge it, this is the last testimony of the enlightened monks who left in the world, and it naturally carries the breath of their lifelong practice of Buddhism." ”

"Lao Chu, this ...... Is this really a relic? Chen Zongyi said in disbelief.

Chu Lao nodded heavily, "From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of the relic's fraud, which is a great disrespect to the Buddha, not to mention, the relics themselves have no value, but the significance it brings is incomparably huge, there is a providence in the underworld, those counterfeiters, may dare to forge fake antiques, fake coins, but the relics, they categorically do not dare." ”

"From the peaceful breath emanating from above, we can know the meaning of this relic, in the eyes of some devout Buddhists, the relics have no truth or falsehood, only meaning, the meaning of practicing the Dharma, some Buddhists use the relics to practice the Dharma, as long as the heart is pious, what is worshiped is not the relics at all, but the Dharma that exists in the relics, if you insist on the truth or falsehood of the relics, the relics will no longer exist, and the Dharma will not be accomplished."

For Chu Lao's words, Fang You naturally believed incomparably, the reason was only because of the powerful gray air flow contained in this strange object, which already explained everything, and the eminent monks were only those who had obtained the relics made by the high monks, and they would have the same gray air flow as their own retreat, which might be the result of cultivating to the extreme.

Unexpectedly, this object that rejects one's own retreat and absorption will actually be a relic left by a high-ranking monk, and that kind of rejection may be the subconscious protection of the relics from the invasion of the outside world.

When he touches it with his hand and then activates the retreat technique, it may be that this relic perceives the gray air flow in his body that is the same as it, and then repels it and allows him to absorb the gray air flow inside.

However, all this is just speculation, and the magic of the relics is not something he can figure out at all.

"The relics exist in the legend, but it is not a legend in itself, over the years, some of the monks who have attained the Tao after cremation, more or less in their bodies, will retain some relics, some even after the whole body is turned into ashes, but also able to form relics, it may be the true portrayal of the boundless Buddhism, the relics of Buddhism, can not be guessed by ordinary feelings, can only be treated with a pious heart, sincerity is there, there is nothing." Chu Lao looked at the jade-like finger bone relic in front of him, and said with some sighs.

"By the way, Old Chu, there are seven holes in the inner wall of this finger bone relic, you might as well take a look." Fang You calmed down the excitement in his heart, and then said.

He studied this relic for a long time yesterday, and he remembers it clearly, this cylindrical hollow phalange relic, and its inner wall, there are also seven holes of different sizes and not neatly arranged.

"What ......" Hearing Fang You's words, Chu Lao said with some surprise, and then looked towards the inner wall with excitement, he had only observed the surface before, but he had not carefully inspected the inner wall of this finger bone relic.

At the moment when he observed the seven holes in the inner wall, Chu Lao showed an extremely excited expression on his face, and his body was even trembling slightly, "How is this possible, how is this possible, the Big Dipper, in the inner wall of this finger bone relic, there are actually Big Dipper Seven Stars, this is simply impossible." ”

The Big Dipper, Fang You suddenly looked at the direction of the hole arrangement on its inner wall again, and then corresponded to the direction of the Big Dipper in his memory, and his face couldn't help but be a little moved, the direction of this hole is indeed somewhat the same as the Big Dipper, for the Big Dipper, everyone in China will not be unfamiliar, in ancient times, some people who walk at night can not distinguish the direction, they will look for the direction of the Big Dipper in the vast night sky.

"Old Chu, how can the appearance of the Big Dipper in this finger bone relic make you so excited and disbelieving." Seeing that Chu Lao was still excited, but he continued to say that this was impossible, Fang You couldn't help but ask in great confusion.

Chu Lao looked at Fang You, and then said with a solemn face: "The reason is only because, among the relics found so far, only the relics left by the legendary Buddha Shakyamuni have appeared in the pattern of the Big Dipper. ”

Buddha Shakyamuni, Fang You and the others showed a more violent shock on their faces than just now, Shakyamuni, the meaning of Chu Lao's words just now, could it be that this finger bone relic is the body crystallization left by the Buddha, as Chu Lao said, this is simply too unbelievable.

The Buddha, that is really in the legend of the character, in the major myths and stories in China, the description of the Buddha, are occupied a large space, its magic power is boundless, purifying all sentient beings, for the ancestor of Buddhism.

But now, the relics of this legendary figure may exist in front of them, and anyone will have a sense of unreality.

"What makes me feel impossible is not that this finger bone relics may have been left by the Buddha, but according to the account of the disciples of the Buddha Shakyamuni, more than 2,000 years ago, after the Buddha was seated, the disciples obtained a parietal skull, two shoulder blades, four teeth, a middle finger phalanx relics and 84,000 bead-shaped real body relics from his cremated body, which are called holy relics and are worshiped by Buddhist believers."

Chu Lao said, looked at this finger bone relic, and the face was still in disbelief, "And the relics with the Big Dipper pattern are from the middle finger bone relics left by Shakyamuni Buddha, and now, if this finger bone relics disappear in the world, maybe we can still believe it, but now this finger bone relics are stored in our country's Famen Temple." ”

After the cremation, only one middle finger bone was left behind by the Buddha, but who is the finger bone of the Big Dipper. If it is not the Buddha's, why is there a Big Dipper pattern? ”

"Fundamentally, many Buddhist masters have studied the reasons for the appearance of the Big Dipper pattern in the Buddha's relics, and finally concluded that when the Buddha was born, he pointed to the sky with one finger, pointed to the earth with one hand, and left the pattern of the Big Dipper on his fingers, interpreting the meaning of heaven and earth, and self-respect."

"If this relic is not the Buddha's, then who can be qualified to leave the pattern of the Big Dipper on it." Chu Lao said heavily, causing everyone to fall into a shock again.
