Chapter 42 Buddha Relic
Okay, the communication between us is too draining, I'm about to run out of oil, and the purpose of your kind and our war has always been to take away our bones and hair, and scale armor, and refine them into various magic weapons to use, and now it seems that the humans with this ability have almost left this planet. You can take my body away if you need to, I just hope you will spare my children and grandchildren. Hey, if you give me another hundred thousand years, I will have the ability to leave this planet with my race. I am the patriarch of my family, and now there is no one in the entire clan who can fight against you, and it may take millions of years for the next person to cultivate to my level, if you want to kill us all, we don't have the power to fight back now.
"Anyway, we don't want our kind to be attacked by you"
"I really can't guarantee that I have so many children and grandchildren, they need to survive, they may attack anything weaker than them for food, and the fewer resources in the ocean, the more we hunt. I can't help but let them go out to forage, and I can't avoid it if I'm here today and somewhere else tomorrow. But even if my entire clan is extinct, and there are countless other clans like us living on this planet, can you make them disappear one by one? Even if you wipe out my entire clan, other clans will soon occupy this territory, and the impact of a war over territory may be even greater."
"Then we will sit idly by and let the calamity beupon our kind?"
"This is the fate of this space, we can't change it, and you don't have the ability to change it. When I am buried here, my family will hold a grand farewell ceremony for me, and there will be something happening in this sea, and it will definitely affect your living environment, and you should not make a fuss. ”
After saying this, the water monster's heartbeat began to get weaker and weaker, and Yang Xiaojun withdrew his divine sense from the water monster, and there was no point in staying here any longer. Looking at the children and grandchildren of the water monsters around them, some of them were ignorant like newborn babies, and some of them seemed to stare at these two tiny but powerful intruders with hatred. The two left here full of hearts and returned to their own living environment.
Two months later, the news aired that a mega-tsunami had struck Indonesia, and at the same time, China's coastal areas had also been hit by typhoons and tsunamis, causing serious damage. Everyone thought that this was nature's punishment for humans, but Yang Xiaojun and Xie Wuji knew that it should be the water monster that had completely slept at the bottom of the sea, and its family was holding a farewell ceremony for it.
Ever since he communicated with the water monster, Yang Xiaojun had been thinking about the multi-dimensional space, and when he first came into contact with the special function, he knew that after the death of a person's body, the spirit would enter other dimensions, and he also learned the method of entering another space from Xie Wuji. Now after the water monster said this, he felt that what he had entered might not really be the space that originally belonged to humans, and it might just be the connecting zone between the two spaces. Because Xie Wuji was born with an ability, and his ability from the beginning was to be able to enter and exit multiple spaces freely, so Yang Xiaojun also discussed this issue with him, and the idea of connecting the zone was recognized by Xie Wuji.
Because Xie Wuji felt that he had entered it many times, and each time the spatial laws were different, which made people feel very uncomfortable, and there were not too many biological imprints. According to the water monster, there should be many creatures in the space that are the same or similar to us, but they are rarely found. Only those who have left remnants in this space wander in the space they enter, and those who do not leave remnants of their minds have never encountered them.
The theft case of the underground palace of Famen Temple has not been solved, and Xie Wuji came once at the beginning, but he didn't see any clues, and he was just in time to crack down on the net collection work of the Pattaya organization, so he left. The subsequent investigation has been taken over by Yuen Long, which has been more than a year and still has no clues, and now Yuen Long is recovering from serious injuries and will not be able to put into work for a while. Yang Xiaojun didn't have too many tasks recently, and he also wanted to see if Yang Xiaojun's newly mastered directional tracking technique could be used in this case, so he invited Yang Xiaojun to come to Shaanxi, and the two could discuss the problem of multi-dimensional space while solving the case.
This is the second time that Yang Xiaojun has set foot on the land of Shaanxi, and he still knows a lot about this place where he has lived for more than a year. Famen Temple in Baoji City, Shaanxi Province, was built in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the heyday was in the Tang Dynasty, known as the "ancestor of Guanzhong Tower Temple", also rated as the ninth wonder of the world. The underground palace of Famen Temple is also the largest underground palace under the tower seen so far, because there are the finger bone relics of Shakyamuni Buddha, the bronze floating temple, the eightfold treasure letter, the silver flower double wheel and the twelve-ring tin rod and other supreme treasures of Buddhism, which has always been one of the key protected places in the supernatural world. The ban on the dungeon was personally ordered by Master Huineng back then, and there were also a few high-level abilities like Master Zhizhen sitting here. But the strange thing is that the finger bone relics of Shakyamuni Buddha here have mysteriously disappeared, and many high-level people in Buddhism, including Master Huineng, have come to see it for more than a year, and they have not been able to find the reason for their disappearance.
If you don't break the ban on entering the dungeon to take away the relics, except for Master Huineng himself, even if he is at the same level or even higher than him, as long as he doesn't break through the bottleneck, he can't do it. Unless this thief has broken through the bottleneck, this kind of person should not exist on this planet, and if he comes from an alien planet or other space, he will not leave a mark at all. The most important thing is that in addition to the skull relics, which have the essence of the original owner's ability, other relics are of no use to the supernatural, and for ordinary people, they are used as cultural relics in exchange for some money, but it is impossible for ordinary people to open the ban and steal it.
So now what is confusing, what is the purpose of stealing relics? It is useless to improve abilities, and it is impossible for an ability, especially a person who has reached this level, to take such a thing for the sake of selling it for money. Yang Xiaojun once came up with the idea that the thief wanted to use the finger bone relics to find the skull relics through some kind of spell, like using the tracking technique created by Kuman Tong or Yang Xiaojun. After all, the skull relics are still very attractive to the supernatural, especially the masters who have reached the bottleneck period. However, this idea was quickly dismissed by him, because both Kuman Thong and his tracking skills needed to track flesh and blood sentient beings, and if it was an object without any living characteristics, he would not have any connection with the mother, and would not be used by this spell.
Shakyamuni Buddha gave up breaking through the bottleneck at the beginning, and the original spirit entered that space, and he always wanted to strengthen himself in this space, and then he took the initiative to open the door of the space and return to the original space. Therefore, he injected his mana into the skull relics and asked his ten disciples to participate in enlightenment and study together, hoping to find the most suitable cultivation method with the strength of all people, and lead all beings back to the Elysium in their minds. The rest of the body became 84,000 relics, which were passed down by his disciples to the temples of leading believers around the world to be admired by everyone to learn from his spirit of sacrificing his life for righteousness.
In China's major temples, as long as there are people with extraordinary abilities, there are different parts of the Buddha's relics placed in the underground palace of the pagoda, and there are also relics of their own sect of senior monks in the past. But the formation of these relics is different from Shakyamuni Buddha, they are some Buddhist monks who have reached a certain level and after not being able to break through the bottleneck in the end, most of them choose to go out of the body and enter another dimension, because they inject their abilities into the original spirit and take it away, and the body will be burned and finally become a relic to stay. The ten disciples of Shakyamuni Buddha also did not achieve the ultimate goal after absorbing the energy of the Buddha, but only achieved themselves, and the primordial spirit returned to another dimension and never returned. This is a topic that Buddhists have always been ashamed to talk about, saying that it is the ultimate achievement of sentient beings.
No matter what kind of confusion there is, Yang Xiaojun still tried to track down the whereabouts of the relics with his tracking technique, as he expected, there are many breaths about the relics in the place where the relics are kept in the underground palace, but these breaths have no use value, they are not flesh and blood, and they cannot attach their divine consciousness to them, if they follow the smell to trace it, it may be more effective than this. But this smell pursuit method has been tried before, Ouyang Wentao and some people who are good at identifying it have participated in the investigation, and their unanimous conclusion is that this kind of smell is not available at all except for the underground palace of Famen Temple, and the investigation work is still in a dead end and cannot be walked out.
Yang Xiaojun couldn't find a breakthrough during this time, so he could only find a way while cultivating, he learned a lot about Buddhist cultivation from Xie Wuji and Master Zhizhen, which was of great benefit to his ability to improve. When Venerable Zhizhen mentioned that all things have spirits again, he suddenly asked whether the relics could also have spirits, and through absorbing the aura for a long time, he developed his own consciousness, which sublimated into some other form and disappeared. As soon as this statement was raised, it immediately caused a new round of discussion, but Buddhist authorities, including Venerable Huineng, found it unlikely.
Because it is true that all things are animist, but the time it takes for each object to receive aura and then transform into consciousness and even consciousness varies greatly. For example, some people are born with it, and some may have it after cultivating for a few years or more than ten years, which is the fastest among the known creatures now. If it takes at least one or two hundred years for self-conscious creatures such as foxes and snakes, it will take thousands of years for flowers and trees. But among the initial lifeless artifacts, jade and bronze are the most spiritual, but it takes more than 2,000 years for the aura to appear, and it still needs to have a special environment to nurture it. Except for the skull relics, the other relics are completely formed after its owner has withdrawn all his abilities, and the environment of the underground palace has the effect of blocking the aura, and it itself is also built so that it no longer absorbs the aura of the world, and it will not produce aura. But Yang Xiaojun always feels that the extremes of things must be opposed, and the more you think it is impossible, the more likely it is.
Following this line of thought, Yang Xiaojun thought, if the relics become machine spirits, where will it go? The ultimate purpose of the instrument spirit is also cultivation, and cultivation requires a cultivation environment. Everyone generally believes that the best cultivation environment is the deep mountains and old forests, so there will be various Buddhas and Taoist sects on the big and small mountains to enclose the best feng shui treasures, and now they are using some prohibitions to enclose the whole mountain, so that all the aura is concentrated in the core area set up by themselves for the disciples in the sect to cultivate. So now when everyone goes to some mountains, there will be Taoist temples or temples, which ordinary people can see and come into contact with, and the people in them are basically ordinary people. The real people with special abilities are all in another environment, and ordinary people can't see them, and this is the blessed land of this sect. But some masters of Confucianism are not cultivating like this, they are all gradually improving their abilities in the process of continuous communication with all living beings in the market, this is also a kind of cultivation, this kind of cultivation is Hongchen refining the heart, Xie Wuji was seriously injured through the red dust refining heart to quickly recover mana.
Since they are all human beings, and the environment and methods of cultivation are different, the cultivation of different kinds of things will inevitably be different. Snakes, foxes, and other most common animals that can cultivate begin to find ways to absorb the yang energy of human beings after cultivating to a certain extent, it is not that it has to be enemies of human beings, this is the stage that he must go through in the cultivation process. Just like ordinary people eat meat every day, they will be malnourished after a long time, if you want to make your body better, you must eat some fruits and vegetables, and you must enjoy some precious supplements, then your body will be much better. Humans may be the best tonic for other animals. Therefore, it is not impossible to say that this relic becomes a machine spirit, and then leaves the underground palace to find a cultivation treasure that can allow him to grow rapidly, since all the people can't find the reason, then there is no need for everyone to be too entangled and consume energy in this matter.
Things always take a turn for the better when everyone expects them most, and a small incident happened on the way back home when Yang Xiaojun was about to go home, which caught Yang Xiaojun's attention. On this day, the final conclusion of the theft of the underground palace of Famen Temple will be held in Xi'an, and Yang Xiaojun and Xie Wuji are sitting on the highway from Baoji to Xi'an in a car, and both of them are closing their eyes to recuperate. I felt that the car began to slow down slowly, and finally stopped, so I heard the driver say: "It's a traffic jam again, it seems that it is enough to arrive before noon." ”
Yang Xiaojun opened his eyes and looked ahead, and he was indeed motionless: "What's the matter, if it's blocked for a long time, can't we get out of the car first and go by ourselves?" "The driver is a full-time driver of the Institute of Biology, and he knows how much he serves the people, and knows that these people have special functions, and if you really want to go by yourself, you can quickly get to the destination without taking a car, and the reason why you send a car to pick up is also a habit of work, and you can't let these people fly around in front of ordinary people all day long. So he said: "Why don't the two leaders go over by themselves?" I don't think the time is short, there must have been an accident in front, this road is always in a car accident, I don't know how to build the road in the Sixth Bureau of China Construction back then, there was a car accident at two ends in three days."
