Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 1185 Nameless Ancient Corpse
When Danxuan said this, he sighed softly, it felt like a woman was sighing~~
"My teacher once told me that the room in this underground palace is the former residence of Xuanzang, and the mummy inside has been passed down from a very early age, no one dared to move it, and no one dared to question it.

Buddhism is a very quiet place, likes to let nature take its course, never curious, and also doesn't like to find out the truth, this corpse is left like this from generation to generation, no one knows who he is.

But the poor monk is a maverick, and he never likes to be vague. The poor monk needs to know who the real identity of this mummy is..."

After Danxuan finished speaking, Chen Zhi and Fat Wei unconsciously cast their eyes on the mummy.

The corpse looked so old that his facial features and bones could no longer be distinguished. From the outside, it looked like a black mass, but it could be predicted from the posture of the corpse that the phrase dead No one has been coerced before, so it should be a natural death.

The back of the mummy's neck is a little protruding. It's the posture of sitting there all year round. It should be exhausted, and the body finally died on the table.

This way of dying is unimaginable for normal people. Most people don’t have this kind of perseverance. Even if they are exhausted, they don’t leave the table. Regardless of life and death, or for some reason, he didn't want to leave this seat, so that he died here in the end.

The four treasures of the study were placed on the table, quite in the style of the mid-Tang period. The inkstone had already dried and cracked into powder, and only a rough outline could be seen.However, the writing brush is still relatively complete, and the tail of the brush is a little golden yellow, which seems to be wrapped in pure gold.

"Before he died, he was still copying scriptures!"

Chen Zhi stared at the corpse and said softly:

"Based on my estimation now, this place should have been a place where monks gathered. They gathered here to hand-copy these scriptures brought from the west, or translate them, or copy them. A kind of spiritual power allows them to endure the suffering here. harsh environment.

Could this nameless corpse be one of the monks? "

"I don't know, I don't know~~~",
Master Danxuan replied lightly, he looked much more normal now, and the weird aura just now had dissipated, but his eyes were still a little dull, his brows were frowning, and he looked at the man with a melancholy look. Corpse:
"I don't know, I don't know!

Everything is conjecture, everything is conjecture~~
The first time I knew this corpse existed, my teacher told me, don't worry about who he is?Don't go after who is he?

Everything is cause and effect, all chance.

Buddhism is a quiet place, too much pursuit of the truth will stain Buddhism, and monks like us will destroy it for it~~
But I am a persistent person, and this can be regarded as my inner demon. I always want to know, what happened in this house 1300 years ago? "

After Danxuan finished speaking, he walked forward lightly, pointed a torch at the withered and blackened corpse, and said softly,

"In the secret records of our Tianfa Temple, there is such a record~~~
After the scandal between Monk Bianji and Princess Gaoyang in the past, Emperor Tang once wanted to punish all monks, even Master Xuanzang, in a fit of anger.

At that time, Buddhists were panic-stricken. Master Xuanzang was afraid that the precious scriptures from the Western Paradise would leak out, so he sent them all to this underground palace. Then he was anxious to find eminent monks from all walks of life, lived here secretly, and copied all the scriptures.

It is said that many strange things happened during that time, and many monks also changed quietly, while Master Xuanzang lived in fear all day long~~
But in the end, the Buddha blessed him, the Emperor Tang weighed the pros and cons, and finally forgave the sins of Buddhism. Master Xuanzang finally became famous forever, and finally Tianfa Temple is still shining today.

But this place is hidden, like a little darkness in the radiance.

I am sure that something must have happened in this underground palace during that time, or that everyone concealed something together. In the end, everything dissipated, but this unknown corpse was left behind.

Just like what you said, the poor monk also has intuition. This is definitely not an unknown person. On the contrary, he is a very important person, so important that we must always remember him! "

"Is this your inner demon?",
Chen Zhi turned his head to look at Danxuan and said:

"If you want to know his identity persistently, the most useful thing is to find a DNA comparison,

Today's biotechnology is very advanced. You can find matching DNA from the skin and hair of people more than 1000 years ago. As long as you find his descendants in the current human beings, you can deduce who he is!

Even if a monk has no offspring, his brothers, sisters and relatives can still find traces of DNA~~~”

"useless!",
Master Danxuan shook his head sadly,
"Over the years, I have tried the methods you mentioned, but they didn't work. There is no record of this place except for a dead body.

And in the current DNA library, no match can be found..."

"There are other ways...",
Chen Zhi looked at Master Danxuan,
"Is that what you're asking me for?

If you just want to determine the true identity of this mummy, I can use some special methods to do it!But it may be disrespectful to Buddhism~~”

"Amitabha, the benefactor has underestimated the poor monk!"

Monk Danxuan laughed when he heard what Chen Zhi said. He clasped his palms together and bowed slightly to Chen Zhi:
"If it's just some small incantations, how can the poor monk bother the Jiang family's patriarch?

In fact, the poor monk has always had a wish, and asked the benefactor for help.

This matter has puzzled the poor monk for a long time, if the benefactor can help, maybe it can turn the legend of China for more than 1000 years upside down..."
