golden escape

"Oh, there are still things that Xiaoyou doesn't recognize, take them out and have a look." Hearing Fang You's words, Elder Chu couldn't help saying in surprise.

In terms of antique knowledge and accomplishments, Fang You's current level is not inferior to him at all, but this thing can make Fang You powerless, which makes Mr. Chu surprised, but at the same time can't help but look forward to it.

Fang You nodded, and immediately took out this object. The cylinder is hollow, and the inside and outside are smooth. The color of jade is like a jade in the sun, exuding a soft light.

The moment he saw this thing, Elder Chu's complexion suddenly changed, and he was extremely surprised, "Relic."

"Xiao You, give me the thing." While saying these three words, Mr. Chu couldn't help taking the object from Fang You's hand, and looked at it over and over again, with an even more shocked expression on his face. , "What I guessed just now is correct, this is a relic."

She Lizi, upon hearing these three words, everyone except Betaman could not help showing shocked expressions on their faces. Chen Zongyi, Li Zhijun, Wang Zijian, Ye Yuqing, Fang You, let alone the shock on their faces All come strong.

The relic, although he guessed that it was related to the Buddha, he was far from guessing that it would be a relic.

For Chinese people, relics are naturally a household name. Not only are they mentioned in various myths, but even in reality, there are such magical things.

The relics are the crystals left behind by cremated monks and Buddhist believers who have achieved success in practice.

Fang You didn't know much about the relics. All along, in his impression, the relics were in the shape of round beads.

Thinking of this, Fang You couldn't help asking with some doubts: "Mr. Chu, aren't relics generally round, but this thing is so strange." For things like relics, he doesn't have the depth of antique research at all. .

Hearing Fang You's words, Mr. Chu smiled, still with surprise on his face, "This is not an ordinary relic, you have all heard about the origin of relics, relics, there is a way A crystallized object obtained by cremation after the death of eminent monks and Buddhist believers."

"These crystalline objects are not the same as the bones of ordinary dead people. Their shapes are ever-changing, some are round, oval, lotus-shaped, and some are in the shape of Buddha or Bodhisattva. Their colors are also changeable, ranging from white to black. Red, yellow, green and other colors, what is even more amazing is the material of relics, some are like pearls, some are like agate, some are like crystal, some are transparent, and some are radiant like diamonds. "

"And this relic, no, it shouldn't be called a relic. A relic is just a name for those round granular crystals, and this cylindrical hollow crystal object should be called a finger bone relic. What's even more rare is that the relic is the crystallization of bones left behind after the eminent monk was cremated."

"After some eminent monks are cremated, there will be relics left in every part of their body. They look like jade but not jade. Those like white jade are bone relics, which are the crystals of bones in the whole body. The black ones are hair relics, and the red ones are hair relics. The relics are made from muscles cremated."

Mr. Chu caressed the finger bone relic with devout eyes, "The first time I saw this thing, I knew it was a relic, a bone relic, its color was whitish, like jade but not jade, and the light was shining through. The inside and outside are clean, and the warm and peaceful aura on it is something that no one else can fake. This is the last testimony left by eminent monks who have attained the Tao, and it naturally carries the aura from their lifelong practice of Buddhism. "

"Old Chu, this... is this really a relic?" Chen Zongyi said in disbelief.

Elder Chu nodded heavily, "From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of relics being faked. This is disrespectful to the Buddha. What's more, relics themselves have no value, but what they bring The significance of it is extremely huge, and there is God's will in the dark, those counterfeiters may dare to forge fake antiques and fake coins, but they absolutely dare not."

"From the peaceful breath emanating from above, we can know the meaning of this relic. In the eyes of some devout Buddhists, relic is not true or false, only meaning. The meaning of practicing Buddhism. Some Buddhists use relic When you come to practice Buddhism, as long as you have a sincere heart, what you worship is not the relics at all, but the Dharma that exists in the relics. If you insist on judging the authenticity of the relics, the relics will no longer exist, and the Buddha Dharma will be nothing."

Regarding Elder Chu's words, Fang You naturally believes incomparably, the reason is only because of the powerful gray air contained in this strange object, which already explains everything, the eminent monks who have attained the Tao are only those relics transformed by eminent monks. Only in the inner world can he have the same gray air flow as his own escapism, which may be the result of practicing to the extreme.

Unexpectedly, this object that repelled the absorption of his own escapism would be the relic left by the eminent monk. That kind of repulsion may be the subconscious protection of the relic against outside intrusion.

When I touched it with my hands and then activated the escape technique, it may be that the relic sensed the same gray airflow in my body, and then eliminated the repulsion, allowing myself to absorb the gray airflow inside.

However, all of this is just speculation. The magic of the relic is beyond his comprehension.

"The relics exist in legends, but they are not legends. Over the years, after some eminent monks were cremated, some relics remained in their bodies more or less, and some even turned into ashes all over their bodies. It can also be formed into relics, which may be a true portrayal of the boundlessness of Buddhism. Buddhist relics cannot be speculated based on ordinary emotions, but can only be treated with a devout heart. Looking at the jade-like phalanx relic in front of him, he said with a little sigh.

"By the way, Mr. Chu, there are seven holes in the inner wall of this finger bone relic. You might as well take a look." Fang You calmed down the excitement in his heart, and then said.

He studied this relic for a long time yesterday, and he remembered every detail clearly. The inner wall of this cylindrical hollow phalanx relic hides seven holes of different sizes that are not neatly arranged.

"What..." Hearing Fang You's words, Elder Chu said in shock, and then looked towards the inner wall with excitement. He only observed the surface before, but he didn't pay attention to the inner wall of the phalanx relic. Check.

The moment he saw the seven holes in the inner wall, Mr. Chu showed an extremely excited expression on his face, and his body even trembled slightly, "How is this possible, how is this possible, the Big Dipper, the inner wall of this finger bone relic, unexpectedly appeared Big Dipper, this is simply impossible."

For the Big Dipper, Fang You looked at the orientation of the holes on the inner wall again, and then corresponded to the orientation of the Big Dipper in his memory. Everyone in China is familiar with it. In ancient times, when some people walking at night could not distinguish their bearings, they would look for the orientation of the Big Dipper in the vast night sky.

"Mr. Chu, how could the appearance of the Big Dipper in this phalanx relic make you so excited and unbelievable?" Seeing that Mr. Chu was still very excited, but kept saying that this was impossible, Fang You couldn't help being very puzzled asked.

Elder Chu looked at Fang You, and then said solemnly: "The reason is that among the relics discovered so far, only the relics left by the legendary Buddha Sakyamuni have the pattern of the Big Dipper. "

Buddha Sakyamuni, Fang You and others showed more intense shock than just now. Sakyamuni, the meaning of what Elder Chu said just now, could it be that this finger bone relic is the crystallization of the body left by the Buddha? As Mr. Chu said, this is simply too unbelievable.

The Buddha, that is the real figure in the legend. In the various Chinese myths and stories, the description of the Buddha occupies a large space. His magic power is boundless, and he can save all living beings. He is the ancestor of Buddhism.

But now, the relic of this legendary character may exist in front of them, and anyone will feel unreal.

"What makes me think it is impossible is not that the finger bone relic may be left by the Buddha, but according to the records of the disciples of the Buddha Sakyamuni, more than 2000 years ago, after the Buddha sat down, the disciples collected from his cremated body Among them, a parietal bone, two shoulder blades, four teeth, a middle finger bone relic and 84000 bead-shaped relics of the real body were obtained, which are called holy objects and have been enshrined by Buddhist believers."

Elder Chu said, looking at the phalanx relic, he still couldn't believe it, "The relic with the Big Dipper pattern is from the middle finger phalanx relic left by Sakyamuni Buddha. Now, if this finger bone relic disappears in the world, maybe we can still believe it, but now this finger bone relic is stored in Famen Temple in our country."

"After the Buddha was cremated according to his disciples, only one phalanx of the middle finger remained, but who owns the phalanx where the Big Dipper appears now? If it wasn't the Buddha's, why did the Big Dipper appear."

"A number of Buddhist masters have researched the reason why the pattern of the Big Dipper appeared in the Buddha's relics, and finally concluded that when the Buddha was born, one finger pointed to the sky and the other pointed to the earth, and the pattern of the Big Dipper was left on the finger pointing to the sky. It interprets the meaning of heaven and earth, and I am the only one."

"If this relic does not belong to the Buddha, then who is qualified to leave the pattern of the Big Dipper on it." Elder Chu said heavily, causing everyone to fall into shock again.
