Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 1493 Great Mercy Temple
Danxuan's words greatly exceeded everyone's expectations. In the words of Fat Wei:
"I don't know what this master thinks. Tell people the truth at this time, who will believe him? He must think he is crazy.

Moreover, to make such a request is to commit public outrage. It is estimated that Master Danxuan will soon be arrested as a mental patient! "

But Danxuan was very persistent this time. That afternoon, he got in touch with the abbot of the Great Mercy Temple, and met with him alone, and told his story frankly.

Of course, Danxuan didn't say anything about longevity, nor did the other party ask.

It is said that when the abbot of the Great Mercy Temple heard about this incident, he spit out a mouthful of blood on the spot in surprise, and he regained consciousness after a long time of relief.

After waking up, I was startled and chanted loudly.

Fortunately, there was no one around, otherwise, one could tell from the abbot's expression that something serious had happened.

After calming down, the abbot of the Great Mercy Temple remained silent for several hours without speaking.

But at the last moment, he agreed to Danxuan's request.

The abbot of the Great Mercy Temple has made a solemn promise that he will keep this matter absolutely secret. After hearing it from his ears, he will never tell anyone, nor will he tell the next abbot, in order to protect the peace of the Buddhist world !
However, the abbot also made a corresponding request:

The layout of the Great Compassion Temple is very complicated. The authority of the abbot is to only allow them to enter the stupa courtyard. After entering the pagoda courtyard, the abbot doesn't care about other things.

And to enter the stupa must abide by four principles,
[-]. No damage is allowed. The relics must not be damaged in any way, and none of them may be taken outside.

Two, do not lie, do not lie in front of the holy relic.

Third, do not defile any vessel in any sacred tower, even the air in the tower.

Four, only one night is given, you must leave at dawn, and from then on, you can never enter again!
This result was unexpected by everyone. Danxuan told them that the time was set for tonight, so that everyone could prepare early.

After that, the staff began to get busy.

Xuanzang's relics must not be taken out of the temple, which means that this parent-child identification can only be carried out in the Great Mercy Temple.

This test procedure requires a lot of instruments and equipment, as well as the participation of technical personnel. In addition to professional refinement, these technical personnel must have excellent psychological quality.

The scientific researchers who came to Xi'an this time are all excellent scientific research talents, and they are all familiar with basic tests such as DNA matching.

After a short period of selection, three scientific researchers were determined to go in with them. One of them was the captain, in his forties, who was steady and sophisticated in his work, and was Professor Liao's big apprentice.

After preparing everything, he is ready to go at any time.

So on this night, Chen Zhi took Ghost Saber, Pang Wei, and three researchers to Tianfa Temple to meet Danxuan.

Danxuan is a careful person, this time he is very secretive, he only brought a close apprentice, and this little apprentice doesn't know anything.

Danxuan arranged a large commercial vehicle, like the one used by celebrities, which can accommodate many people and scientific research equipment, and it has already parked at the gate of Tianfa Temple.

After seeing Chen Zhi and the others appear, Danxuan opened the window and waved to them inside.

So, everyone followed Chen Zhi into the business car, and the car started slowly, and they rushed to the Great Mercy Temple that night.

The location of the Great Compassion Temple is different from that of the Tianfa Temple. The area where the Tianfa Temple is located is very prosperous. There are many streets outside the gate, and there are shops related to Buddhism everywhere.

There is a constant flow of people and incense.

The Great Compassion Temple is located in the suburbs, because the gate is closed and no incense offerings are accepted from outside, so few people usually come.

It took a long time for them to travel this way. They set off around 10 o'clock, and it was almost [-] o'clock in the evening when they arrived.

But the night in the mountains is cold, the moon is covered by dark clouds, and the sky is completely dark.

When they arrived in front of the gate, everyone felt the solemnity and rigorous style of this temple.

This is indeed not a tourist attraction that can be opened to the outside world like Tianfa Temple, and there are no colorful prayer flags in sight.

Although it is a Buddhist holy place, it is extremely depressing. Behind the dark gate, faint lights can be seen. The people standing at the gate are actually armed policemen with guns, with a serious atmosphere of law.

When they saw the outside car approaching, the armed police immediately came over with guns, with a very serious expression on their faces, and asked who they were coldly.

Danxuan put his name on the newspaper and showed his face to him.

The armed police immediately understood, and waved to the front guard with a sullen face, allowing the car to pass.

So, they entered the Great Mercy Temple smoothly.

After entering, everyone realized that the Great Mercy Temple is really different.

The area here is not so vast. After entering it, it feels like entering a mountain garden, with patches of woods, pavilions, pavilions, and suspension bridges.

The Great Compassion Temple was the largest temple renovated by the royal family in the Tang Dynasty, occupying half of Jinchang Square at that time, with 13 courtyards and 1897 rooms.

After entering through the gate, the journey has turned hundreds of times. Every time a certain distance is reached, there will be a sentry post. The guards on duty are all armed police with guns. There are electronic scanning in front, and the security technology is very advanced.

And I often see patrolling guards, guarded layer by layer, impenetrable, without the permission of the abbot, it is really difficult to enter.

But with the acquiescence of the abbot of the Great Mercy Temple and Danxuan's golden face, all the checkpoints along the way were passed smoothly.

At last they entered the innermost part of the monastery, passing a bend, and from there there were no sentries.

After a while, they saw a large yard. The gate of the yard was obviously very old and made of thick metal. There was a heavy iron chain on the doorknob. It could be seen that no one had entered for a long time. .

And outside this courtyard, they finally saw the legendary stupa, the place where Master Xuanzang's bones were buried, the stupa!
According to official historical records, this is a pagoda built by Master Xuanzang himself.

The stupa was built in the third year of Emperor Gaozong Yonghui of Tang Dynasty. It was originally used to place the relics of Sakyamuni Buddha.

At that time, Master Xuanzang invited Buddhist scriptures and relics from India, and wanted to find a special place to worship. Then he asked Emperor Gaozong to allow him to build it. The tower is 64.5 meters high and has seven floors. The bottom of the tower is square and conical. 25 meters.

After it was completed, it was called a spectacle, and it was the largest relic pagoda.

And when he just came outside the courtyard gate, Chen Zhi felt it immediately.

It turns out that the legend of the sacred Buddha's light shining all over the land in the past is not a fiction...
