As for why it is built in such a deep mountain and old forest, no matter which method is used to cultivate the Tao, it is nothing more than to seek "quiet inaction" and "leave the country to sit and forget", and it needs to be quiet and free from external interference. In order to avoid the noisy city, most Taoists have gone to the mountains and old forests to cultivate the Tao. Therefore, although there are Taoist temples in the city, most of them are also located in the quiet, empty and beautiful mountains and forests like Buddhist temples, isolated from the prosperity of the world, and strive to create the realm of ten major caves, thirty-six small caves and seventy-two blessed lands in Taoism. ”

"In such an environment, the cultivator cultivates, returns to the basics, has a pure heart and few desires, and the food is pure green food, and after a long time, he naturally gathers the aura of heaven and earth in himself, achieves the immortal wind and bones, and prolongs life. The fresh air in the mountains and the quiet dwelling are suitable for patients to recuperate. Listen to the wind and birds, watch the sunrise and sunset, worship the gods, observe the spells, get rid of the heart disease, and the body will naturally recover its health. ”

"Little Dragon King, are you okay, there is no need to take this kind of myth and legend so seriously." Brother Kan persuaded Long Ziyan, who was a little excited.

"I thought it would have something to do with the resurrection curse, so I tossed it again in vain."

"Since there are no clues, let's go back, isn't the original plan to go to Shennong to explore the dragon vein."

Brother Kan bowed to the statue of Sanqing three times, and was about to retreat together, only to hear the sound of a wooden board breaking with a "click", and then the sound of a purple kite for help came.

It turned out that when the three of them were analyzing the Taoist temple, the purple kite was walking around in the main hall, not knowing what to do, Longgang ran to the scene and saw a big hole exposed on the wooden board under the wall of the main hall, and the purple kite's cry for help came from the entrance of the hole.

"Purple Kite, are you hurt?"

"I'm fine, it seems to be a dark room down here, do you want to come down and take a look."

"Darkroom?" Long Gang jumped in without much thought, and Long Zijing and Brother Kan also went down to the dark room together.

The darkroom is a stone cave dug by hand, the size is very narrow, the darkroom is not well lit, damp and cool, and can only be seen clearly with the flashlight in Brother Kan's bag.

"It's okay to walk around, add to the chaos!" Longgang reprimanded the purple kite.

Purple Kite looked at Longgang with an aggrieved little face and said: "I didn't mean it, I just saw that the main hall was paved with bluestone slabs, only a layer of wooden planks was paved on the ground next to the wall here, I was curious to take a look, who knew that it would collapse, and I can't blame it." ”

Longgang can't be angry, "It will make people feel hearted." ”

"Are you worried?" Purple Kite asked with two big eyes.

Before Long Gang could react, he was called away by Long Ziyan, "Long Gang, what are you looking for?" ”

Long Ziyan took a flashlight and found a large stone standing in the dark room, Longgang and Brother Kan took a look, and said in unison: "Snake turtle stone tank!" ”

A huge stone jar appears in front of you in the dark room, and there is a sculpture of a "snake wrapped around a turtle" on the cylinder head, which is meticulously carved, and the surface of the stone jar is also carved with a lifelike snake pattern.

The snake turtle is called Xuanwu in ancient Chinese mythology, legend has it that there are gods guarding the four directions in the southeast, northwest and northwest, Xuanwu is called the god of the north, and the four directions have representative gods, the green dragon in the east, the red bird in the south, the white tiger in the west, and the Xuanwu in the north, that is, the turtle and snake.

"Snake and tortoise stone jar, you two know each other, so what is this for?"

The two replied in unison: "The sarcophagus!" ”

Brother Kan explained: "Snake turtle stone tank I heard a legend on the road, there is a mountain called Simian Mountain, Simian Mountain has a mysterious Taoist temple - Chaoyuan Temple, hidden on the top of the mountain for many years, inaccessible, even the mountain people who live here all the year round are not very clear about its ins and outs, folk circulation, Chaoyuan view of the 39th generation of the master Yang Lailin is strong, kind and virtuous, supported by the villagers, it is said that before Yang Lailin Taoist priest passed away, he had instructed his disciples to use this jar to hold vegetable oil to light the lamp, day and night, when the lamp is exhausted, it is when he comes back from the dead. But after Yang Lailin Taoist sat down, his disciples were scoundrels and stole vegetable oil, leaving only this empty big stone jar, which was the snake and turtle stone jar. ”

"Does this snake turtle stone jar still have the effect of resurrecting from the dead, then there won't be zongzi in this sarcophagus."

"Little Dragon King." Brother Kan said with a strange evil smile: "Don't you want to see what's in the snake turtle sarcophagus?" ”

"Of course, if only there was information about the resurrection of the dead or something."

"What are you waiting for, let's open the coffin together."

The snake turtle stone jar is not the sarcophagus that is usually seen, there is only one basalt stone cover guarding the sarcophagus on the stone jar, and the three of Longgang worked together to remove the stone cover and put it on the ground, there is no hidden mechanism in the sarcophagus, and there is no movement in the entire stone cave.

Brother Kan took a flashlight and shone in, the golden light in the stone tank was dazzling, dazzling, squinting his eyes, a figure flashed out, Brother Kan subconsciously took a few steps back and hurriedly said: "There are zongzi, be careful!" ”

"Zongzi!" Long Ziyan and Longgang also hurriedly took precautions, and the purple kite hid behind Longgang and also put on a posture.

After a minute or two, the stone jar was not abnormal at all, and he didn't see the zongzi in Brother Kan's mouth, Longgang took out a flying knife and walked to the side of the stone jar to investigate, there was indeed a figure in the golden light, Longgang lowered the brightness of the flashlight, and then looked at the figure in the jar carefully, and said: "Don't panic, it's just a dry zongzi." ”

As soon as they heard this, the three of them came forward to look, and saw that there was a real person in the jar, wearing a golden cloak, its skin was shiny, brown and red, silver beard and white hair, the bun of the Taoist symbol was intact on the top of the head, the back was bowed and cross-legged and meditated, the facial features were clear, the eyes were sharp, the nose was high, the eyes were black and white, the abdominal organs were slightly visible, the sweat pores on the legs were clearly identifiable, the fingers were slightly warped, like a living person, the hair and nails were clearly visible, and the skin on the arms, shoulders and backs was still elastic.

Long Ziyan looked at it and blurted out: "Bodhisattva of the flesh!" ”

"It seems that yes, this is the Bodhisattva of the Flesh!"

Listening to Longgang explained: "Under normal circumstances, before death, when a person feels that the end is approaching, he will first start not eating or drinking, or eating and drinking very little, losing weight sharply, and losing weight. After death, the flesh dries. ”

After the death of Buddhist monks, there is a funeral custom of "sitting in the jar", that is, a layer of lime is spread at the bottom of the sitting jar, a layer of charcoal is added to it, the Dharma body is placed in it, and then filled with crushed charcoal, sandalwood, etc., and then another cylinder of the same caliber is upside down, filled with charcoal to the top of the head, covered with the top cover, and the gap of the three-section cylinder body is glued with a mixture of lime and tung oil. ”

"Can you really do this to make the flesh incorruptible?" The purple kite had the courage to rub the real body with her fingers, and then shrank back in fright.
