Chapter 367: The Twelve Divine Messengers (2)

My consciousness became groggy as if I was in the middle of a huge altar, surrounded by stumbling monks, each shaking a ritual instrument or reciting a sutra, surrounding me in the center.

I knew that I was about to ascend to heaven, and that these monks were here to say goodbye, to inspire, to appreciate, to wish me well. In their view, only the most brilliant cultivators could enter the kingdom of heaven and become the great men of another class. Therefore, many people are secretly envious and jealous in their hearts.

When the blood mist filled, it merged with the smoke and clouds above the altar, extending to infinity high. The height was blue, neither blue nor white, but full of spiral lines.

"Is that reincarnation? Am I going to heaven or reincarnation? "I couldn't figure it out, and I felt a fear of death.

"There...... Everything is reborn, everything goes from something to nothing, everything comes into being, everything comes naturally...... To go there is a complete rebirth, the origin of all things, the true state of the Dharma...... Go, that's where you seek, that's where your wishes come true......" Voices came from all directions and joined in a chorus in my ears, sometimes clear, sometimes chaotic, sometimes buzzing, sometimes sharp and high-pitched.

"Is that reincarnation?" I asked.

"That's reincarnation...... It's reincarnation...... Transmigration...... ...... "My voice reverberates, but I can't get an answer.

"My questions in this life have not been answered, and I don't want to fall into samsara. I want to go back, I have to go back! "I remembered my mission from Hong Kong Island to Dunhuang, and suddenly I came to my senses, strode back, and left the altar.

At the same time, all the hallucinations in front of my eyes disappeared in an instant, and I was still standing in front of the safe, holding the key in my hand, bleeding from my shoulder.

"Give it to me, give it to me." The book god jumped up and snatched the key from me.

I stood stunned, as if I understood the full meaning of the "reincarnation safe", but I didn't seem to know anything. If everyone who enters the safe will be reborn, then there must be many kinds of rebirth, and it is impossible for everyone to be the same and be reborn in the same mode.

Since there are countless levels after being reborn, what can be changed by being reborn? After being reborn, we are still distributed in all strata of society, and we are still high and low, so it is better not to be reborn, but to work hard in this life to change the face of our lives.

I understand that being born again is only useful for the dead, not for the living. Or, being born again is only useful for the socially low, not for the wise. In that case, is it still necessary for the "Queen of the North Sea" to be reborn? Of course not necessary.

"Mr. Long, are you alright?" The god of spears and the god of death flew by.

I shook my head, a wry smile on my face, still unable to fully escape the illusion.

"God of Medicine, bandage Mr. Long." The spearman ordered loudly.

At this moment, the book god had already walked to the safe, holding the key in both hands, and inserted the keyhole.

For a moment, like a bird hit by a bullet, his body suddenly became motionless.

"Book God, how are you?" The god of medicine asked loudly.

"Don't alarm him, he must be hallucinating, like I just did." I stopped the medicine god from speaking, "Don't move, don't touch him, as long as he has Huigen, he can withdraw from the illusion." ”

I couldn't guess what the book god saw, but until twenty minutes later, he was still holding the key in both hands, facing the safe, motionless.

The god of medicine walked over and looked at the face of the god of books from the side.

"How?" The Spear God asked loudly.

"He's dead, he's not breathing." The god of medicine replied.

My heart sank, and I immediately realized that the key, the keyhole, and the safe were dangerous, and if they were not handled properly, they would die here. What's more, what's even more terrifying is that you don't have to open the safe to enter it, as long as you touch the key, you can have an accident.

"Come back, and wait until the queen comes." The spearman ordered loudly.

We took thirty steps back and temporarily got into the station wagon, ready to evacuate at any moment.

"What do you see?" The Spear God asked me.

"Altars, chanters, monks, smoke, blue sky...... A voice told me that it was the path of reincarnation, and that if you entered it, you could return to the primordial land of life. I didn't listen to that voice because I still have worries in this life. I answered truthfully.

"Is that a hallucination? Or is it the reality behind the safe? "The Gun God raises a question worth pondering.

"What's behind the safe?" I asked, patting the falcon on the shoulder.

Here, whether it is the twelve divine envoys or the heads of great powers, everyone has lost their identity and has become a companion who advances and retreats together and fights danger together.

"It's full of Sanskrit symbols, and beyond that, there's nothing." The electric falcon replied in the affirmative.

"Those are mandalas." I say.

As long as you are familiar with Tibetan culture, you know that the so-called "mandala" is a plane labyrinth drawn by Tibetan sages. When ordinary people without any metaphysical knowledge see the mandala, they only have strokes and lines in their eyes, and they will not have any comprehension at all, and of course there is no danger. On the contrary, when people see the mandala in metaphysics, they will have all kinds of associations, and the lucky ones will ascend to heaven from this, and the unfortunate will fall into the magic barrier.

Under normal circumstances, the mandala is relatively simple, depicting only the situation of a city, a temple, and a place. However, the mandalas drawn on the keys and around the keyholes are incomparably complex, consisting of hundreds of connected mandalas. If you think about the electric falcon again, I am afraid that there are more and more complex mandalas painted inside the safe, and as long as you fall into it, you will have no way to survive. Because of this, those who enter the safe will suddenly turn to powder and disappear when their intellect is drained and their spirits are exhausted.

"It's extremely dangerous, it's not a good place." I say.

"The greater the risk, the greater the opportunity." Although the spear god is young, he is very calm and calm, and has the style of a general.

"What kind of opportunity do you want? There is only a chance of death here, and nothing else. I said.

"Are you scared?" The gun god asked.

I thought about it for a moment and nodded frankly: "Yes, I am indeed afraid, because in the face of such a complex Tibetan mandala, even a monk with supreme wisdom will be deeply immersed in it, unable to extricate himself, until he is sucked dry by the mandala." ”

In a few words, I cannot describe in detail the stakes of the mandala. In order to clarify this Tibetan secret talisman, we must start with the Tibetan Dharma Protector God, which requires thousands of words.

Of course, the purpose of my coming here is to escort the remains of Lady Ice, and I don't need to explain too much to the Twelve Divine Envoys at all.

"Someone has to open the safe, who's going to go?" The Spear God looked around at everyone.

The god of medicine and the god of death both bowed their heads, unwilling to look at the god of spear.

"Since no one wants to go, I am the only one who goes in the end." She said.

"I can go, I can go." The electric falcon suddenly raised his hand.

"You?" The spearman was skeptical.

"Five years ago, I saw the capital's No. 1 Metaphysical Sage enter the safe and then slam the door behind him. He told me never to open this door again, or disaster would befall from heaven. I am the head of a country, and I must have the courage to bear all the calamities. This is the time to test my courage and I have to go. The falcon stood up.

I admired his courage, but I disapproved of his actions.

If a person fights against miracles, he will eventually die without a place to be buried. History has already given a verdict, and there is no need to prove it again.

"Are you really willing to go?" The Spear God asked again.

The electric falcon opened the car door and replaced the verbal answer with practical actions.

"Hey, you...... You really ......" I wanted to stop the falcon, but I couldn't say anything because I didn't know enough about the mandala to elaborate on what it was.

"Okay, stay in the car, and if I can't come back, help me bury Mrs. Ice. Tell my men to bid her farewell with the highest funeral. Electric Falcon said.

The medicine god's medical skills are very exquisite, and although the right leg of the electric falcon has just undergone surgery, it is no longer hindered from walking.

I watched as the Falcon walked over to the safe and moved the body of the book god to the side, laying it flat on the ground.

"What's going on? It was as if his soul had been sucked out by something, and there was no harm on the surface of his body. Alas, I knew that this operation would not go too well. The god of medicine sighed.

"He was too aggressive, he shot Mr. Long, and he deserved it." Death said indignantly.

"He's his own person, have you figured it out?" The god of medicine was very dissatisfied.

"Mr. Long is our honored guest, the Queen's honored guest. The book god is so radical, it is not normal. "Death does not show weakness.

"Alright, shut up." The spearman shouted.

The god of death and the god of medicine shut up, and everyone was silent, staring at the back of the electric falcon.

The falcon held the key and turned it clockwise four times in a row.

It occurred to me that "after the lines of the mandala are connected, they are all connected in straight lines." Wouldn't this process of reversing the keys be to kink all the mandalas together, increasing their complexity even more. Transmigration...... Transmigration...... It turns out that the mandala represents the different identities of different people in different worlds, and through this kink, all worlds and all identities are connected, which is the ultimate goal of reincarnation. ”

This mode of thinking is quite important, and it is equivalent to deciphering the logical meaning of "reincarnation" at once.

According to my ideological point of view, it is actually not scientific for a person to hope to change his destiny through "reincarnation", because all identities in all worlds are fixed, and a person crossing the threshold of reincarnation is only allowing himself to enter another world and transform into another self. The poor will always be poor, the rich will always be rich, and the frustrated will always show it, and that's it.

"Reincarnation, meaningless reincarnation." I couldn't help but mumble to myself.

"What?" Death heard me.

"We seem to be playing a zero-sum game that doesn't serve our purpose at all. The queen of your faction wants to return to Atlantis through the reincarnation safe, but I am afraid it is also wishful thinking. I said.

"How could a man like you guess the great ideals of the Queen?" The god of medicine scoffed at my words.

Of course, I can't understand the ideals of the Queen of the North Sea, perhaps she has an unattainable IQ that can transcend all the limitations of the mandala and successfully overcome all the traps of thought, and see the mystery of this reincarnation safe clearly.

It must be acknowledged that people's IQs vary greatly.

"The only one who can truly comprehend the mystery is the queen." This time, even the spear god became dazed.

"It's open, it's open, look, it's open." The Grim Reaper cried out in a low voice.

Ahead, the electric falcon took a step back, pulled the key, and slowly opened the door of the safe.

I thought the light inside the safe would be very dim, but when the door opened, it was very bright.

"It's silver and gold...... The mandala inside the safe is inlaid with silver and gold, so as long as there is a little light shining into it, it will be very dazzling. Those are the real Tibetan mandalas, which are polished to a smooth finish by craftsmen with all materials and hands, which are both treasures of Tibetan Buddhism and truly great works of art...... "From so far away, I have been impressed by the Sanskrit symbols inside the safe.

"I should have brought my camera over and taken pictures of the symbols on the four walls inside." The god of medicine is eager to try.

"Go ahead." The god of medicine said coldly, "Maybe you will not be able to come back if you take a look at the god of books." ”

The two looked at each other coldly, and there seemed to be sparks colliding and flickering in their eyes.

Next, the Falcon took two steps forward and stepped into the safe.

As I said earlier, people who do not have metaphysical cultivation will turn a blind eye to the mandala when they see it, and they will neither be enlightened by it, nor will they be victimized by going deep into it.

It seems that the electric falcon is this kind of person.

Soon, he pulled back and stood at the door of the safe and waved to us.

"It's strange that he's not in danger at all." The god of medicine muttered.

"We'd better not go over, he's okay, it doesn't mean we're okay." I immediately issued a warning to prevent any more innocent deaths and injuries.

The electric falcon walked back and stood at the door of the car and motioned to me, "Give me the body of Lady Ice." ”

I bent down, carefully picked up the plastic bag, and placed it in the arms of the falcon.

"There's nothing unusual in there, is there?" The god of medicine asked.

"It's just Sanskrit symbols, empty, nothing." The Falcon replied.

"Can't be like this? Is such a large safe empty? The god of medicine scratched his head.

"It's not a safe, it's a large mandala artifact." The Gun God has figured it out. It can be seen that she also has a very high IQ and is the leader of this group of people.

Indeed, when we no longer think of it as a safe, but as a "Tibetan Buddhist instrument", it is easy to understand why it has such divine powers.

Tibetan Buddhism has existed for so long and so widely, and there must have been many earth-shattering Dharma tools in it. Many records in history also illustrate this point, such as the golden Buddha, silver Buddha, bronze Buddha, and jade Buddha used by Songtsan Gampo, Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty, and Princess Qizun of Nepal when they joined forces to suppress demons, which are real magic weapons with supreme mana. Those are only recorded in books, and others exist only in the word of mouth of the great monks.

According to my personal inference, the huge magic weapon in front of me was lost here because of the war, and because it was kept secretly away from Tibet, its history was broken several times, and finally lost its name, purpose, origin, and other information, and was regarded as a safe.

No matter what it is called, its fundamental mana is unchanging, that is, "the collection of mandala power".

In the past, the great powers of the North have always played the role of "looters", snatching treasures and cultural relics from various countries and piling them up in the capital, only to gradually turn into rich and powerful empires.

This magic weapon was looted here, and then in turn poisoned the northern powers, this is the way of reincarnation of the heavens in the underworld.

I don't hate the electric falcon, but I must face up to history and the strengths and weaknesses of the great northern powers, and absolutely not confuse the general interests of the nation.

When the Eight-Nation Coalition plundered China, the northern powers were also among them. Moreover, when the Dunhuang fragment of the Mogao Grottoes was stolen, there were also cultural relics dealers in the northern powers. It can be inferred that since the antiquities dealers arrived in Dunhuang, it is likely that they traveled south and looted some of the monasteries in Tibet with firearms and violence, and it is likely that the artifacts were transported back to the capital at that time.

"I sent Mrs. Ice's body over, it was her last wish." Electric Falcon said.

His face was tired and sad, as if he had suddenly aged twenty years, and he was no longer the political beauty that celebrities from all over the world were keen to pursue.

"If something strange happens, then quit quickly and save your life." Even though I've told it dozens of times, I've reminded it again.

"Long Fei, I suddenly had an idea, in fact, reincarnation is not important, and authority and throne are not important. If a person loses the love of his life, and if he lives, he will only be a walking corpse, but it is better to throw away his life early and enter reincarnation. Electric Falcon said.

When a man says such a thing, it only proves that his heart is dead.

"Don't say that, Madame Ice must hope that you can lead the northern powers, continue to move forward, and become a world superpower." I comforted him.

The electric falcon shook his head: "Everything is empty, everything is sand in your hands, the tighter you hold it, the faster it passes, isn't it?" ”

He was talking about the supreme truth of Buddhism, but he had never said it before.

If that Dharma weapon still has the effect of enlightening the Dharma, then it is really immeasurable.

"Gone." The electric falcon turned around with the body in his arms, and walked towards the magic weapon step by step.

"Hopefully something will change, it can't be like this forever." The spear god stared at the back of the electric falcon and said to himself.

"They are ordinary people, it is best if there is no change, and if there is change, it is a dead end." I say.

"It's amazing, and of course I know that those symbols are mandalas...... If I can really go deep into the mandala inlaid with silver and gold and explore the truth of reincarnation, I would rather never go back. The gun god said.
