"The one we find now, from the appearance it should be a nine-fold divine letter, its workmanship is quite extraordinary, although I don't know which god and Buddha's relics are enshrined, but the most important thing for the avenue of heaven and earth is a nine-character, meaning ninety-nine to one, endless, I can be sure that this is definitely a rare treasure, haha!" , Huang Shuliang was so happy to put the box in his arms, hugged it tightly, and couldn't wait to kiss it, more precious than nervous about his son, and finally had to return it to Zhou Diwen.

"Alright, this time it's a bonus." Lin Yu said with a faint smile, in fact, he didn't care much about this treasure letter, he always felt that the call for something here was becoming more and more obvious, and this call made him more excited than the treasure letter.

"Haha! it! Zhou Diwen, who had just taken over the tower, didn't have time to be happy for a second when an exclamation came, and then his eyes were stunned in disbelief.

I saw that the tower in his hand automatically broke free from his palm, three meters high from the ground, the small silver lock on the tower body opened, and a small machine next to the top lattice of the small tower opened again with a click, and a golden light shot out from the small lattice, dazzling and dazzling. A golden bead the size of a date rose up, emitting ten thousand golden rays of light, enveloping everyone. For a moment, everyone couldn't see anything clearly, and they only felt that they were in an endless golden color.

Of course, Lin Yu is no exception, there is a golden world in front of him, and suddenly a monk appears in the golden world, wearing a golden robe, and the whole person looks like a god and Buddha on TV. The moment the monk saw him, two golden rays of gold descended on him from his eyes, and with a sigh in his mouth, he teleported directly to him. looked at him with a smile, and finally smiled and said, "I didn't expect to see you here. Wonderful! Amitabha! ”

Lin Yu's scalp was numb instantly, and he lost control of his body the moment Jin Guang came to his body, his head was blank, all his thoughts seemed to have been copied, there was no secret to speak of, he wanted to speak but couldn't open his mouth, and he felt that it was all a fantasy if he wanted to move his body.

The monk seemed to know Lin Yu's current situation, sat beside him, folded his hands in front of his chest, closed his eyes and began to recite the Buddha's words: "Bow to the abbot of the Pure Enlightenment Sea Manna Gate, also worship the self-nature of pure Tibet, save the world all the doors of the righteous and truthful truth, and learn and learn as the Dharma to confirm the righteousness, and pass on the world with sorrow, although you have been born more than the sixth day, I and all the people are invited to be the most victorious in the world, and you should be ashamed of us and ask the Buddha quickly, and live in the world for a long time with immeasurable benefits, and speak the supreme nectar Dharma praised by wisdom." If you don't invite the Buddha, my life will not be complete, so you should see that you are the master of the master, all the living in the world will die, although the life span is immeasurable, there must be an end, there will be a decline in the prosperity of the husband, there will be separation, the prime of life will soon stop being invaded by the disease, the life is swallowed by death and there is no law, the kings are free and the power is unequal, everything is moving, the life is the same, the wheel of suffering is endless and there is no rest, the three realms are impermanent, all are happy, there is the nature of the Tao, everything is empty, but the bad law is always in trouble, etc., the horror of all evil, old age, sickness, death and decay are all boundless and easy to be invaded by bad resentment, Afflictions are wrapped like a cocoon in a silkworm, how can there be a wise person and be happy, everything that is collected by this body suffering is not pure, and there is no righteousness at all to strangle carbuncles, and even the heavenly body is the same, all desires are impermanent, so I am not greedy, and I am not greedy for good thoughts, and it is proved that there is a person who is judged to be nirvana today, and I have already experienced all sufferings on the other side, so that the present person is pure and happy, and for the sake of the reason, there is no drama to talk about the side, and I will never be bound to nirvana today, I will not be old or sick and die, and my life will not be exhausted, and my life will be extinguished like a fire, and the pure Buddha should not think about the righteousness of the future. When the contemplation of the Buddha comes to live like Mount Meru, I am now in Nirvana and receive the first happiness, and the Dharma should not cry again. ”

With the recitation of the Buddhist scriptures, the monk's body exuded a dazzling golden light, and Lin Yu's whole mind was chanting the sound of the Buddha, and he couldn't help but follow the recitation in his heart.

At this moment, the monk suddenly opened his eyes, two golden rays of light shot out of his eyes, and then the entire body actually began to weather, until in the end, only a golden bead the size of a date was left, and the bead crossed a golden light, flew into Lin Yu's mouth, and slid down the esophagus to the lower abdomen.

Suddenly, the golden beads turned into a golden liquid and began to run wildly along the meridians, if Lin Yu could see the situation in his body at this time, he would definitely be surprised, because his heart was golden, and the golden heart beat violently the moment the golden liquid entered the body, and a stream of golden blood flowed to the golden eyes with the golden liquid, and a stream of golden liquid also gushed out from the golden eyes, and the three were one, running non-stop in the meridians around the body. Every time he ran it, he felt that his body was indescribably comfortable, and he had the illusion of feathering into a flying immortal. I don't know how long it took, his golden eyes shot out two pillars of golden light that looked like substances, piercing through the entire golden space and disappearing in an instant.

At this moment, countless macros came out of thin air from all directions in the void, converging into one sentence, "When my Buddha is in trouble, I hope that the donor will help!" ”

Lin Yu looked around for the source of the sound, but it was Feng Shenque, as well as Zhou Diwen and Yu Cong who slowly opened their eyes, and Ruolan looked at him suspiciously. There was nothing out of the ordinary, as if everything was just a dream he had just had, real and unreal.

And Lin Yu had already set off a monstrous wave in his heart, if he didn't guess wrong, the golden bead just now was the Living Buddha Relic. This scene is so similar to the adventure in the Yin Spirit Mountain, he firmly believes that all this is definitely not a dream, the gentle heat flow in the body does not know how much stronger than before, and the body is indescribably comfortable, as if 360,000 pores are breathing freely, even in the dark he can clearly see all the changes within a hundred meters around him, although he is not sure what else has changed, but all this is true, he has received great blessings.

At the same time, I was also extremely curious, these two encounters with the Buddha statue were so abrupt, they were both blessed by heaven, what is the connection, and how the crystal coffin appeared in the temple, and the white snake, all of this is like a fog.

"Do you see anything?" After calming down his chaotic thoughts, Lin Yu tentatively asked Emperor Zhou Wendao.

"See! I saw a golden bead fly out and disappear! Zhou Diwen grinned and said, it was a heartache. For Zhou Diwen, who loves money, the bead flew away just now, which was more painful than cutting his flesh.

"Didn't see anything else?" Lin Yu already had a basic judgment in his heart, the golden light just now should block everyone's vision. However, Ruolan's puzzled expression proved that she was not like what Zhou Diwen said, what is Ruolan's identity? He couldn't figure it out.

"Gold everywhere! You can't see anything! Zhou Diwen complained again, and at the same time ran to another statue unconvinced and slapped it vigorously, "I don't believe it, this time another one came out and ran away!" ”

Zhou Diwen's voice has not yet landedβ€”β€”

"Boom! Rumble! Thundered! Thundered! ”
