Chapter 66: Sato
We walked slowly as the monk had told, and the monk kept reminding me of the road on both sides. I was trembling all the way, for fear of missing the exit that theoretically only I could see.
The monk's back is very soft, I really don't know why this martial arts master has a back that is softer than a woman. The two of us walked slowly almost back to back, and the monk walked very slowly to take care of me, and sometimes I could even feel the strong heartbeat of the monk.
We had only been walking for a few minutes when I saw the path that the monk had said, but the people in front of me walked unhurriedly as if they hadn't seen the road at all.
I stopped a few of them, and when they turned around, they all let out an incredibly soft call. The monk untied the ropes from the two of us and turned to look at the entrance.
There was nothing hidden from this entrance, but the monks and a few people seemed to be completely invisible. After the monk saw that exit, he exhaled deeply, it seems that this guy also has a bit of a bet in it.
A few of us walked out slowly, and found that it was indeed a three-way street. But we didn't know why we didn't notice it when we first came in, and we walked straight here. The monk looked at the road ahead, and his eyes were more solemn, as if he was preparing to meet something in his heart.
A few of us started walking in the same direction, and this time we didn't have any more trouble going straight to the entrance to the next level. The entrance was still a spiraling staircase and a rudimentary brick structure, but we all let out a cry of surprise when Channing took the searchlight and shone it down.
The walls around this place were covered with human heads. Some of them had their heads upside down, their foreheads downward, some of their mouths poking forward as if they were going to choose someone to eat, and some of them looked like they were in pain, and it was a living hell.
When the monk saw these heads, he whispered a Buddha name, and then walked down first. Seeing this, I hurried to follow. Among these people, only the monk was relatively trustworthy, so I had to follow his footsteps, and Nangong also walked down with me.
After the three of us came down together, Channing and the pangolin also followed. I didn't worry too much about the monks opening the way in front of me, and observed the heads as I walked, but as soon as I took a look, I couldn't go any longer and could only stare at the head on the wall.
The man's head had already dried, and his whole face was wrinkled together like an orange peel that had been left for a long time. His eyes bulged out and became much larger than normal. Because of this, I was able to spot the abnormalities of these heads in the first place.
The eyes of this human head turned out to be double pupils, exactly the same as the mirror image I saw in the mirror. I ran to the other head, and found that the head's eyes were also double. I looked up to stop the monk, but I found that all the people had stopped and were looking at the heads.
Could it be that all these heads have double eyes? I originally thought that the legend of these two pupils was feudal superstition, but I didn't expect that there were so many human heads with double pupils here? Could it be that these corpses were the Buddha's people before he opened the six realms?
I walked up to the monk and found that he was looking intently at a human hair in a daze, I coughed lightly and said, "Monk, you say that these people are the human beings before the Buddha opened the six realms of reincarnation?" ”
The monk shook his head and said, "According to Buddhist scriptures, people who can open their eyes are all people with Buddha-nature and wisdom, but there are so many here, I don't understand. ”
These people are all people with wise roots? Isn't Huigen a cabbage? I've heard that many strange body structures are caused by mutations, but at that time, humans couldn't answer these strange diseases, and these diseases were very frightening, so I added a layer of religious explanation to these strange body mutations.
But how could there be so many people with mutated bodies here? And their symptoms are all exactly the same. It is said that the probability of this mutation is very low, about one in millions or even hundreds of millions, what is the reason why the people who built this place can find so many mutated people?
The pangolin came over and said to the monk, "Could the people here be the 'Satuo' in Buddhism?" ”
The monk glanced at the pangolin with some surprise and said, "I didn't expect you to know 'Satuo', who are you?" ”
The monk didn't even know the identity of the pangolin? I used to listen to the monk's tone as if he had some understanding of the situation of Qian Ning and me, but he didn't know the details of the pangolin, could it be that the identity of the pangolin was even more obscure than that of Qian Ning's old family?
However, I heard my master once say that generally in the field of excavation, the larger families in the field are people in the family who go to the ground together, and never disdain to go to the society to form gangs and form forces. Because this line of work is not something that can be done with good skills and ruthlessness. Many things need to be cultivated from a very young age, and you can only do it handily when you are used to seeing the underground scene.
But the pangolin is just the boss of a second-rate tomb robbery gang in society, how can it be more difficult for monks to eat than those people in Channing?
The pangolin did not answer the monk's question, but continued: "It is said that these 'sata' only have double eyes when they are deeply enlightened and about to become a Buddha. But how could their bodies be buried here? ”
These guys are actually masters who are about to become Buddhas? Although I don't have a very deep understanding of Buddhism, I vaguely remember that if a high monk is about to become a Buddha, they will give up their earthly bodies, and those who are higher in the Tao will leave some relics and other holy relics for us laypeople to admire. But I've never heard of the Buddha becoming a Buddha who recycles and puts his body into the construction business that will never reduce the price.
The monk nodded and said, "That's right, according to the Buddhist scriptures, before Satuo becomes a Buddha, he must first see his eyes, and he can only become a Buddha after he has penetrated reincarnation." ”
The pangolin looked at the monk, pointed to the human head on the wall and said, "Why, so many sas are all buried here?" ”
The monk shook his head and said, "If I had already experienced this reincarnation, I wouldn't have come back to this one." If you want to know the cause and effect of all this, let's move on, maybe you have the answer below. ”
After hearing the monk's words, the pangolin nodded and walked directly past the monk without saying anything, and walked down first. The monk didn't say anything more, and walked slowly. Along the way, I observed the monk's sa few times, and these people had nothing special except for their eyes, and they were completely mutated human beings from the outside.
