Chapter 45: The Buddha's Relic

After Ye Zhenyu and Xuanyuan Youlan lived with their parents for a few days, Xuanyuan Youlan handed over the business of Xuanyuan Group, and now she is no longer suitable for the position of general manager of the group, and may embark on a full-time path of cultivation in the future.

After taking care of the affairs of the Xuanyuan Group, Ye Zhenyu and his entourage went to Wuji Sect to meet with the eight elders and the sect leader Xiaoyaozi, the deputy sect leader Wuchenzi, the chief manager Xiaoxiangzi, Li Qingshan and other deceased people, and also brought a lot of cultivation resources and cultivation techniques. Wuji Sect has also developed by leaps and bounds over the years, with thousands of inner disciples, tens of thousands of outer disciples, and the eight elders have all reached the peak of the Nether Realm Merge Realm with Xiaoyaozi, Wuchenzi, Xiaoxiangzi, Li Qingshan, etc., and it is only a matter of chance to ascend to the Immortal Realm, and it is urgent to solve the Jedi Tiantong and rebuild the way to ascend to the Immortal. Ye Zhenyu secretly planned in his heart, after gathering the seventeen relics, the first thing to solve was to open up the path to becoming an immortal.

After Ye Zhenyu bid farewell to Wuji Sect, he and Xuanyuan Youlan, Lan Ji, Qilin, Pixiu, Hu Tianlong, Kunpeng, Lan Ling, Lan Yan, Morning Bell, Dusk Drum and others embarked on the road to India to find the Buddha's relics. According to historical records: 2,500 years ago, Shakyamuni Buddha attained Nirvana, and after cremation, the disciples obtained the skull, teeth, middle finger bones and 84,000 relics from the ashes. According to Buddhist scriptures, the relics obtained can be roughly divided into two categories: one is the bone relics, such as the Buddha's tooth, the Buddha's finger, the Buddha's parietal bone, etc.; The other type is bead-shaped relics, which are divided into bone relics, meat relics, and hair relics. The former class is rare, and the latter class is the majority. The top bone of the Buddha refers to the flesh of the Buddha's top bun, "the parietal bone gushes, and the natural bun is also" ("Supreme Sutra"), and the Buddha's top bone refers to the relics of the natural bun part of the head of Shakyamuni Buddha. The relics of the Buddha were originally divided equally among the eight kings at that time, and the kings brought the relics of the Buddha back to their own countries, built pagodas and temples, and offered them sincerely. One hundred and sixty years later, Emperor Ashoka, who unified India, collected the relics of the Buddha and built 84,000 pagodas to make offerings. According to the "Fayuan Zhulin": Ashoka Pagoda has 19 in China, they are: the Western Jin Dynasty Huiji Cheng County Tower, the Eastern Jin Dynasty Jinling Changgan Tower, the Later Zhao Qingzhou Dongcheng Tower, the Yao Qinhe East Puban Tower, the Zhouqi Prefecture Qishan South Tower (that is, the Famen Temple Tower), the Zhou Guazhou Chengdong Ancient Tower, the Zhou Shazhou City Mahayana Temple Tower, the Zhou Luozhou Ancient Capital West Tower, the Zhou Liangzhou Guzang Ancient Tower, the Zhou Ganzhou Guedan County Ancient Tower, the Sui Yizhou Fu Thanksgiving Temple Tower, the Sui Huaizhou Miaole Temple Tower, the Sui Zhou Jingming Temple Tower, the Sui Zhou Yudu County Tower, the Sui Wei Prefecture Linhuang County Tower. The Buddha parietal bone unearthed in Nanjing Dabao'en Temple is the only one of the Buddha's top true bones found in the world, the literature records, the Northern Song Dynasty is the period of Buddhism in the middle of the period, the westward journey to seek the law, and then set off the climax, at that time there were Indian monks with the Buddha bone relics to China. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty Taiping rejuvenated the country for five years, the North India Wu filled the country of the high monks to protect, the Buddha's parietal bone relics dedicated to Jinling Changgan Temple (now Da Bao'en Temple), in the Dazhong auspicious charm for four years, enshrined in the Changgan Temple Ashoka Tower Palace. In the second year of Tianxi, Changgan Temple was changed to Tianxi Temple. The Southern Song Dynasty "Jingding Jiankang Zhi" recorded that Tianxi Temple is a long trunk dojo, burying the true body relics of Sakyamuni, building the real body relics pagoda in the auspicious charm, and giving the name "Holy Sense Relic Pagoda". The finger bone relics of Famen Temple are the most famous real body relics, how brilliant the Tang Dynasty was, how brilliant Famen Temple was. The Buddha's relics were opened in 30 years, and the valley was twisted and the soldiers were resting, which became the rule of the royal family in the Tang Dynasty. Emperors such as Tang Zhongzong, Tang Ruizong and Wu Zetian all greeted the Buddha's true body relics with the highest etiquette of the empire, and Famen Temple also became the royal inner dojo of the Tang Empire, which was extremely luxurious. And the main heritage relics should be hidden in these 84,000 pagodas in India.

Ye Zhenyu and his entourage traveled day and night, and they arrived in India overnight. If the 84,000 pagodas are searched one by one, it will take a lot of time, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, everyone waits until dark to act, Ye Zhenyu has the strongest sense of the Buddha's relics, although Pixiu is not as good as Ye Zhenyu, but he also has a certain sense of the relics. So everyone was divided into three groups, Ye Zhenyu himself took Xuanyuan Youlan, Morning Bell, and Dusk Drum in a group, Ye Zhenyu incarnated in a group with Lan Ji, Qilin, and Lan Ling, and Pixiu and Kunpeng, Hu Tianlong, and Lan Yan in a group, and the three groups of people were divided into three areas in the night sky: south, north, and middle, covering the entire Indian continent for inspection.

The night passed, and the three groups converged and found nothing. Ye Zhenyu was worried that there was something missing, so the three groups of people swapped areas and inspected overnight to no avail. After swapping areas on the third night, he still didn't find out, and Ye Zhenyu felt that he had miscalculated. It stands to reason that the relics of the Buddha's inheritance should be in India after Emperor Ashoka gathered and rebuilt the 84,000 relics pagoda, and there should be no inheritance relics that were transmitted to Middle-earth, and there are no inheritance relics found in Middle-earth. So where are the relics of the Buddha's inheritance? Ye Zhenyu fell into contemplation, at this time, Ye Zhenyu's sea of knowledge, the infinite King Kong Taiji diagram is rotating rapidly, fifteen relics like golden little suns in the top and bottom Taiji Bagua diagram respectively in accordance with the innate Bagua and the acquired Bagua in place, in the bottom of the acquired Bagua in the position of a vacant relic, on both sides is the Diamond Sutra and the swastika golden runes surrounding, under the constant rotation, the holographic pattern of a golden mountain appears in the Qian, the outline of this mountain peak is becoming clearer and clearer, and finally completely in the shape of a pyramid, At the top of the tower there is a phantus of a small golden sun. "Gang Rinpoche Sacred Mountain" Ye Zhenyu immediately understood, it turned out that the Buddha's inheritance relics were in Gang Rinpoche Sacred Mountain!

XZ has been loved for its purity and mystery since ancient times, especially for the Potala Palace and Kailash, and it is a sacred place in the hearts of Tibetans. Someone once said of them: "If the Potala Palace is a temple, Kailash is a sacred mountain." "I think so! However, there are many people who know about the Potala Palace, and many people know less about Kailash. Legend has it that Kailash is the place where Shiva lives in India, so it is the "holy mountain" of Indians. And the most mysterious thing about it is that it contains six secrets that science cannot explain, which are still little known to this day.

The first secret is the mystery of the pyramids. At the end of the last century, a Russian expedition came to XZ to study the summit of Kailash. They found that it was actually a large pyramid, and there were traces of man-made construction. There are more than 100 small pyramids and monuments surrounding the top of the hill, like a group of pilgrims worshipping the gods and Buddhas in their hearts. The pyramid complexes are estimated to be between 100 and 1,800 meters high, while the most famous Egyptian pyramid in the world is only 146 meters tall. Some people think that this may be the center of the supernatural that connects the world. The expedition team came to the conclusion that this was the city of the gods, built by an alien civilization that was much more advanced than modern human civilization. Most scientists disagree with this statement, and in fact, the professor himself cannot produce conclusive evidence, which adds to the mystery of Mount Kailash.

The second secret is the mystery of aging. The expedition members did not listen to the lama's advice and deviated from the set course and entered the range of Esoteric Buddhism, only to find that time was flowing much faster than normal time, and they were aging rapidly, and those who survived were sick and died in the next year or two.

The third secret swastika riddle. There is no record of Mount Kailash where a human has ever been able to reach the summit, but in ancient legends, there have been warriors who have succeeded in doing so and left their swastika mark. It is said that Shiva in India wrapped the snake around his neck on the mountainside, forming a groove, and when the disciples of Buddhism and Bon were competing for the sacred mountain, the Bon disciples failed and fell, leaving vertical ravines over the mountain wall, which formed the most mysterious swastika in Buddhism.

The fourth secret is the mystery of numbers. It has been measured that Kailash travels 6,666 kilometers to Stonehenge and the North Pole, and twice as far as Kailash to the South Pole...... Even more strange is that if you take the pyramids in Mexico and Egypt in a straight line, and Stonehenge and Easter Island in a straight line, the junction of the two lines is Kailash.

The fifth secret is that Kailash is the source of all waters. The glaciers formed by the meltwater of the snow-capped mountains and another lake called Mapanyong Tso are the birthplaces of the four major rivers of Asia, namely the Shiquan River, the Maquan River, the Xiangquan River and the Peacock River, and the most strange thing is that these four rivers eventually flow into the Indian Ocean, regardless of the direction and volume of water.

The sixth secret has to do with savages. In 1996, the footprints of Mount Kailash attracted the attention of the expedition, and the villagers said that they were the footprints of savages. Wild humans are active here frequently, and once or twice a year, they also attack humans. Some herders have found caves inhabited by savages, which contain leftover bones and sheepskins used as mats.

When the first rays of the morning sun shone on the top of Mount Kailash, Ye Zhenyu and his party had come to the foot of the mountain, and the mysterious feeling that was passed on by people disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the only thing I wanted to do was to face the mountain, kneel and bow like a pilgrim, close my eyes, and enjoy the silence brought by the sun and the mountain. Kailash is 6656 meters, much shorter than Mount Everest, but now no one dares to climb Kailash, perhaps because of these 6 secrets, everyone chooses not to climb, and some people say that it is because the locals do not let everyone climb, because Kailash is called "the king of the sacred mountain" by the locals. Regardless, the scenery here is still good, the sun shines on the white mountain tops, the blue sky is purer and purer, and the snow-capped mountains bow down to the top of Kailash Mountain, quiet, pure, and lofty that cannot be experienced anywhere else.
