Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 1498 Dreamland
Chen Zhi once saw this relic of the Heavenly Spirit Bone of Master Xuanzang on the Internet.

To be honest, Chen Zhi didn't think relics were so sacred at the time.

The one seen in the picture at that time was actually a very ordinary skeleton.

The skeleton looked like the color of mud, and the bone was loose, and there were small beads embedded in it, like small crystal balls.

That's the sherry.

Relic is the transliteration of Sanskrit arīra, which is the general term for the body of Indians after death.

In Buddhism, the hair, bones, and ashes left by monks after death are called relics.

And some very famous eminent monks who have achieved Taoism will produce crystals after cremation, some are as transparent as diamonds, and some are formed into colorful rows, which are called relics or solid stones.

As for the reason for the formation of relics, there is still no conclusion so far. According to Buddhist scriptures, relics are naturally felt by monks during their lifetime due to the virtues of discipline, concentration and wisdom, and are the crystallization of practice.

In the modern scientific society, most speculations believe that the formation of relics is related to the chemical reaction that occurs when bones and other objects are cremated together.

The reason why monks have this kind of chemical reaction is because they are usually vegetarian.

But this point of view was quickly proved to be inaccurate. There are many vegetarians in the world, not only Buddhists, but they have not been seen forming relics.

Another folklore believes that when a person leaves the body for a long time and is full of essence, a solid relic will appear. Therefore, forming a relic is a recognition of the character of this eminent monk.

Therefore, since ancient times, eminent monks and great virtues have been proud of the relics to prove their merits, compassion and wisdom.

At that time, the relics that Chen Zhi saw on the website were nothing more than transparent crystals the size of glass balls, most of which were opaque and without any luster.

However, at this time, Chen Zhi saw with his own eyes that those transparent crystals embedded in the bones gave off an inconceivably dazzling brilliance, the level of which is simply incomparable to that of night pearls.

Those rays of light are not dazzling, they are warm and gorgeous, but they are so bright that people cannot look sideways.

"This is really incredible...",
Chen Zhi said something softly, but the staff behind him didn't seem to hear clearly, and asked back:
"Mr. Chen, are you okay?
We are now going to get to work.

It's very dark here, and I need to ask you to use the flashlight for us..."

"What did you say?",
Chen Zhi's mind suddenly buzzed, as if he understood everything at once.

"You say it's dark in here?
Here..., is there no light? "

"Light?

How can there be any light! ",
Professor Liao's senior apprentice looked at Chen Zhi strangely,

"This place is so dark that you can't see your fingers clearly, Mr. Chen!

What are you talking about? "

"Then you..." Chen Zhi suppressed his expression, and asked in a normal tone as much as possible.

"Did you all see the scene outside just now?
There will be light on the tower, illuminating the mountain, just like in the legend! "

"what?",
The big apprentice seemed to think that Chen Zhi was crazy, and under such circumstances, a smile appeared on his face.

"Mr. Chen, don't be joking, this is not what you should say!

Relic is just a kind of crystal, how can it emit light by itself?That's just a legend, how can it be taken seriously?

Since we came here, everything here is gloomy, it's dark everywhere, and we can't even see the shadow.

You still say such things now, which makes me feel gloomy, so please don't say any more..."
After the big apprentice finished speaking, he directed the two staff members to put the box on the ground, took out the laboratory equipment inside, turned around and said to Chen Zhi,
"Mr. Chen, we are running out of time, and it will take some time to collect samples.

We are now racing against the clock!

Don't say those strange things, you better call a flashlight for us! ",
After the big apprentice finished speaking, he involuntarily stuffed the flashlight into Chen Zhi's hand, and then gathered in front of the glass box with three researchers to prepare to take samples.

They have studied the photos of this relic and the external conditions many times.

They had all expected in advance that there would be a glass cover outside, there would be organs, and the glass might even be bulletproof.

But before they came, they had already made complete preparations, their diamond isolation knives.

If the glass cover is difficult to remove, they cut a circular hole in it.

However, to everyone's surprise, there were not so many traps around the glass box, and the material was just an ordinary glass plate, which could be easily opened with a slight lift.

But... the moment the glass cover was opened, Chen Zhi suddenly felt his eyes go dark, and then he couldn't see anything...

At first, Chen Zhi felt that he was unconscious, but later he discovered that the surrounding lights had disappeared.

The warm and brilliant light just now no longer exists.

There is only a gloomy surrounding, and the darkness of the five fingers cannot be seen clearly.

The big mountain was still outside, and the cold mountain wind hit the glazed stupa, making a "dangdang~~" sound.

The miraculous scene I saw just now was gone.

And the skull relic of Xuanzang, just like the wreck seen on the Internet, was placed there peacefully, without a trace of luster.

Everything that Chen Zhi saw just now seemed like a dream.

"Mage Danxuan..."
Chen Zhi turned his head gently, wanting to check on Danxuan's condition.

And when he saw the scene behind him, he couldn't help but gasped.

only see...

At the dark doorway, Danxuan stood there alone, watching the staff busy.

And on his side, there is a human figure made of light, looking at him close to his face.

The facial features of the human figure were not clear, but he could be seen to be bald, wearing cassock and straw sandals.

Is a monk...
