There was no one on the mountain, and the scale of the collapse was not as violent as I thought, and one side of the hillside was concave down two or three meters, and if it were not for the thick smoke rising everywhere and the pines and cypresses at the foot of the mountain that quickly turned yellow and fell off, there would have been almost no abnormality.

I gulped down the water, and the dried skin on my face fell downward, and I was the most seriously injured of all of them.

The old monk looked at me with great interest, and when I noticed him, he praised him sincerely: "Xia Jushi is really very ......."

I hurriedly waved my hand to interrupt him, "Don't say that, it's a very human to burn your mountain gate when you come."

The old monk said uprightly: "There are changes in the origin, why bother? ”

I didn't like to hear these words, so I stopped talking, and asked, "Let me ask you, what is in that stone letter?" ”

"Since Xia Jushi knows that there is an elixir of eternal life, why doesn't he know where this elixir comes from?"

"I really don't know this, can you tell me?"

The old monk may have never heard such a vernacular, but he reacted for a while before he understood.

"The essence of the canal grass is the most vigorous thing in the world, and the essence of the stone bone is the most stable genus in the world, the combination of the two, born without difference......"

I've had a guess about this thing before, and with this as a foundation, it's not difficult to understand what he said. It seems that the previous guess was not wrong, that kind of elixir was indeed made of fern immortals and stone bones.

"Can you still find that kind of stone bone?" I asked myself the questions that mattered to me the most.

The old monk did not speak, nodded and pointed in the southwest direction.

When I saw the door, I was overjoyed, "Do you know the place?" ”

The old monk nodded.

This guy has a problem, as soon as he talks about key things, he immediately turns into Lu Yan and doesn't say a word.

But if we know it, and let him show the way, we will definitely find the place.

"I don't believe in Buddhism, why do you keep calling me layman?" I remembered that he kept calling me a layman, and I said to myself, is there anything else I don't know?

The old monk seemed to smile, "Get used to it." ”

The people next to him all laughed, and the impact of the incident just now seemed to have receded, so everyone discussed it and decided to rest for the night and leave tomorrow.

This old monk is also interesting, a person who is more than a thousand years old, although he has a strange appearance and pretended to be powerful some time ago, this will not be as old-fashioned as Lu Yan at all. told a lot of interesting things, and also showed Wang Dake palmistry to measure the marriage, and soon got acquainted with us.

From the stories he told, we also know the origin of this place.

The original site of Gejia Temple was built by Princess Wencheng herself, and the monks were all recruited from the Central Plains. In order to build Gejia Temple, Tubo almost poured the whole country's strength into it, and finally built such a beautiful Buddhist country in the world.

The reason why the temple was built here is because the high monk Wukong (not a monkey) at that time thought for some reason that this was a place where the Buddha sent compassion to the world, and he personally demarcated the area. We don't know if he discovered the hell and the Bon temple, but the range he drew was at a distance from those two places and was faintly suppressed.

In that era when the productive forces were extremely underdeveloped, it was a very remarkable thing to build a temple in such a remote mountain, even if the site was selected. It is said that there were as many as 3,000 monks from the Central Plains, India and other places during the heyday of this place, and it had to be expanded many times, as if it had become a Buddhist exchange center, similar to the current Buddhist college.

During the period of extinction, a large number of Buddha statues in Tibet were destroyed, temples were converted into slaughterhouses, and monks were forced to pick up swords and arrows to become hunters. As the center of Tibetan Buddhism, Gejia Monastery is naturally not immune.

In order to preserve the last holy place in Tibet, the monks in the temple paid off some officials, secretly gathered Buddha statues from all over the country, and sealed the temple underground with wood.

Because the matter of destroying the Dharma is important, those officials do not dare to go too far, so the Buddha statue did not escape the fate of being nailed and pierced in the eyes, after the Buddha statue arrived, the monks of Gejia Temple were in pain, and they pierced their eyes with nails, and the Buddha statue fell into the dark underground.

On the ground, a new Gekya Monastery was built, converted back to Bon, and converted back to Tibetan Buddhism after the extinction period.

But those monks did not want to go back to the surface, and hid underground to form their own unity, praising the Buddhas who had been abandoned by the world all day long.

A hundred years later, Guru Duchen Sompa became a Buddha in the flesh and left behind a Buddhist oracle that he would be reincarnated to remind future generations, but it was misinterpreted. The lama was a playful man, so he simply left the monastery and traveled in the mountains.

Who would have thought that he met the people of the royal family here, and learned from their mouths the theory of eternal life and reincarnation.

At the beginning of the teacher's enlightenment, he had already vaguely understood some reasons, and at this moment, after the Wang family's order, it suddenly became clear.

The Wang family was mentioned in this place, and we were very interested and asked for a lot of details.

The origin of the Wang family is no longer known, but one thing is certain is that the Wang family is indeed an important part of the Bon religion native to Tibet. Their existence is a secret of Bon, and the secret of the reincarnation of living beings is indeed in their hands.

Our previous guess was good, stone bones cannot make people immortal, but the Wang family found a way to immortality, that is, reincarnation, which must use stone bones as a medium to ensure the stability of reincarnation.

The bodies in those caves were the same bodies that had been used in reincarnation, and the man who had lived forever for a hundred lifetimes ended up dying in religious battles, and the method of reincarnation was lost.

The royal family held the secret of the stone bones and passed it on to Guru Duchen Somppa. This kind of stone bone is not complicated, and Mingyue and Green Bee are the key to it.

The celestial burial of the immortal coffin is not the act of atonement that we imagined, or not all. The purpose of this act is to use the bright moon to combine something in the corpses of the green bee and the Wang family into a stone bone.

This sounds like a strange thing, but Guru Duchen Somba affirmed it with great certainty and pointed out that not all royal family members have this function, and Wang Dake is one of them.

The refining of stone bones requires extremely high temperatures, and the lava river in the underworld is used by the royal family to extract stone bones and explore the lost method of reincarnation.

This activity continued for a long time, with official and Tibetan Buddhist support, and the royal family groped their way through the blood of their own people, but could no longer find that miraculous method, and the operation was terminated by geological changes and lower lava temperatures.

In his practice, Master Duchen Sompa suffers from the limited lifespan of human beings, and the Dharma is too profound, and he cannot solve the problem of being poor in one lifetime, so he has the method of reincarnation and eternal life, and the understanding of the Dharma has become his greatest obsession. Therefore, I was particularly interested in this method, and made a request to learn how to extract stone bones. The Wang family did not hide it and handed over the method of extracting stone bones to him.

In fact, there is a place in the Gejia Temple not far away that is very suitable for extracting stone bones, which is the platform we saw. After learning this method, Guru Duchen Sompa left the royal family and took up residence in Gega Monastery.

At that time, the monks under Gejia Monastery were already dead, and he only stumbled upon the entrance when he was practicing in the ruins of the back mountain.

Although there were no clues or explanations, the great wisdom of Guru Duchen Somba made him understand the cause and effect after some parade, and after a long journey, he found a place suitable for refining stone bones, and was overjoyed to find the royal family.

Under his auspices, the disciples of the Wang family entered the underground of Gejia Monastery to practice Buddhism and deduce reincarnation for eternal life.

This went on for more than 300 years, and Guru Duchen Somba was amazed to find that he had not continued to grow old. The children of the Wang family in the temple were also inspired by Buddhism, sealed their eyes, and began to practice.

Therefore, time itself is a miracle, and the two opposing sides of the Wang family and Buddhism slowly merged, on the one hand, they continued to sacrifice and extract stone bones, and on the other hand, they devoted themselves to practicing and worshiping the Buddha.

When the Wang family grew old and died, they died and came again, and some of the monks in the Gejia Monastery were also attracted to it, and in addition to ensuring the supply of the people in the monastery, some of them also joined the practice.

I don't know why, the stone bone has an extraordinary affinity for the human body, and once it enters the human body, most of it will gather on the head. So unlike what we imagined, cannibalism was not their helplessness, but a practice that had existed for a long time.

It is said that the total number of stone bones is limited, but for some reason they are concentrated in the bloodline of the Wang family, in order to ensure that it will not be lost, everyone who sacrifices their head to extract the stone bones, their body will be eaten by the people in the temple, and the bones will remain in that platform to continue extracting. As for the dirty water in the pool, it melted with the secretions of the bright moon and green bees, and it is unknown what role it played in this refining process, and when I heard that, I couldn't help but think of the giant beast cemetery burned by me and Liu at the bottom of the summer mountain. All the behemoths there had their heads pierced through their heads with iron pipes, drawing out their brains to refine the stone bones, which seemed to work in the same way as here. But the methods here are simpler and crude, and they are more sad and helpless.

As for why there are stone bones in the brains of those giant beasts, we may never know the answer, maybe those giant beasts are the products of taking the elixir but failing to evolve, maybe all the stone bones came from them, and the Wang family only got them by chance.

I can't believe that there is such a cruel family in the world, and for that little dream of reincarnation and eternal life, they do not hesitate to use the flesh and blood of the entire family to preserve that little bit of stone bones, without even considering how slim this hope is.

In the process, humanity has been suppressed to its lowest point. No, it occurred to me that they might not be the humans we are used to thinking of. Humans don't have such stable inheritance even if they have barbs on the back of their necks, and they ...... Even a modern girl as obvious as Wang Dake has such a thorn in her neck!

What exactly are they?
