I am the only one who can do it: I think I am really going to become an immortal

After arriving at the ancient temple.

Everyone crowded under the porch which was still relatively intact.

Shake off the rain and take a breath.

Chen Yun and his group did not get wet.

The versatile Shiraishi carried four umbrellas in his backpack.

However, even if they had an umbrella, traveling in the rain was not a good idea, so they followed the group of people and stayed in the ancient temple to avoid the rain.

Chen Yun didn't care about the taboo of traveling on mountain roads on rainy days. He was even interested in sliding down the mountain roads on rainy days.

However, considering the situation of other ordinary people, he didn't say much.

The rain dripped down the tiles, making a crisp sound, which formed a sharp contrast with the wind and rain outside.

This ancient temple from many years ago unexpectedly became a temporary safe haven.

The middle-aged leader took the opportunity to count the number of people to ensure that no one was left behind. At the same time, he observed the weather, hoping that the rain would pass as soon as possible.

The others looked around.

Although this ancient temple is dilapidated, it still retains a certain solemnity and tranquility.

Although the remaining stone Buddha statues around have been weathered, the exquisite craftsmanship of the time can still be vaguely seen.

This is part of the scenic area, and there are many similar ancient temples on the mountain.

All the cultural relics here have been moved to the exhibition hall in the small town at the foot of the mountain, so there is nothing here except some signs left in the scenic area.

Because there was no signal on mobile phones, everyone was either chatting with each other or observing the remaining stone carvings in this ancient temple.

Bai Shi, an international thief and art expert, whispered a very professional explanation to Sun Huiwen and Jiang Anping.

After all, as a top master of art appreciation and forgery, his professional level in these religious cultures is definitely no less than that of most experts.

And on the side.

Chen Yun's eyes were attracted by an incomplete stone sculpture of Garuda.

Although he is not as proficient in religious culture as Bai Shi.

But he could still easily dig out Garuda from his memory, having heard of it once or twice.

Garuda, also known as the golden-winged Peng bird.

It occupies an important position in Buddhist and Hindu mythology, symbolizing strength, bravery and fearlessness.

Although this stone sculpture has been eroded by wind and rain, and its wings and part of its body are damaged, one can still feel its breathtaking majesty and solemnity from its smooth lines and remaining exquisite details.

The head of the Garuda statue is slightly raised. Even though its eyes can no longer be seen, its fierce aura seems to travel through time and space and strike people's hearts.

Although the wings are incomplete, from the remaining wing carvings, one can still imagine the magnificent sight of the bird spreading its wings and flying.

Chen Yun gazed at the stone sculpture, and an indescribable emotion arose spontaneously.

The sounds around me seemed to fade away.

In a trance.

Chen Yun felt as if his soul was having some kind of silent conversation with this ancient stone sculpture.

This feeling was so strange and yet so familiar to him, as if it had touched some dusty memories or hidden desires deep in his heart.

It seemed like something was about to pop out in my mind, but it disappeared like an illusion.

Chen Yun unconsciously stretched out his hand and stroked his heart which had been beating rapidly just now. Now it had completely returned to normal.

Then he gently touched the cold surface of the stone sculpture.

The coolness from his fingertips seemed like a touch that traveled through time, giving him some kind of wonderful connection with the past at this moment.

But I want to describe this feeling in detail.

But it is so hard to explain.

The noise of the people around him and Bai Shi's explanation seemed to become background noise, and Chen Yun's thoughts were completely immersed in the strange feeling brought by this Garuda stone sculpture.

It was not until a drop of rain slid down the gap between the tiles on the top of the ancient temple and dripped onto the back of his hand, bringing a hint of coolness, that he suddenly came to his senses.

I realized that I had been in a daze here for a long time.

Looking around, other people's activities seemed to have never been interrupted, but only he was experiencing a spiritual journey that belonged only to him at this moment.

Chen Yun stroked his forehead in confusion.

He didn't know what had just happened.

Just after seeing and gazing carefully at the Garuda statue, I had a vague feeling that I had seen a thousand years at a glance, and time seemed to have passed by very quickly in this moment of staring.

But now if you feel it carefully.

At this moment, there seemed to be nothing special or changed in my body.

just like……

It was as if everything that happened just now was just an illusion?

In this regard.

Chen Yun was a little uncertain.

Confusedly, he touched the Garuda stone sculpture again.

This time, I felt nothing.

He was confused and tried his best to release his ability to perceive the world clearly.

Everything within a radius of 600 meters is in sight.

This six hundred meter range not only includes the circular area with him as the center, but also includes the spherical volume with him as the center.

The soil and rocks six hundred meters underground can also be clearly seen.

And from this perspective.

Everything is normal and no different from usual perception.

just like……

Everything that happened just now seemed like an illusion.

only……

Does he really still have illusions now?

As Chen Yun was thinking, he couldn't help but feel a deep doubt in his heart.

Chapter 251: Jade is not in hand

After the rain.

A ray of warm sunlight penetrated the clouds and sprinkled on the wet ground.

The light shines through the broken window frames of the ancient temple, illuminating everyone and bringing a touch of warmth.

Pushing open the creaking door, you are greeted by the fresh air after the rain mixed with the fragrance of soil and leaves, which is refreshing.

Looking up into the distance, there is a veil-like mist lingering between the mountains, and the trees washed by rain appear even greener and more lush, and everything is glowing with the glory of new life.

Chen Yun took a deep breath, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He didn't know how to describe what he had encountered today.

Whenever he touched the stone sculpture of Garuda, he always had an inexplicable feeling, as if it was a vague sense of familiarity.

That strange feeling seemed like an illusion.

But it seems not.

During the rainy time, Chen Yun had been silently trying to relive that feeling.

With his powerful spiritual perception, he can feel the details of each statue in the ancient temple and accurately record every bump on the statue's surface.

His spiritual perception ability was like an invisible net, gently covering every inch of this abandoned ancient temple.

Although these statues appear dilapidated due to years of disrepair, each statue comes alive under Chen Yun's spiritual touch.

He seemed to be able to touch the delicate carvings on the cold stone statue, and from his fingertips came the piety and concentration of the craftsman with every cut. He noticed the compassion between the eyebrows of a Guanyin statue and the delicate patterns hidden in the folds of its clothes.

Even the tiniest crack was clearly visible to his perception.

He can use his super-temporal and spatial sense of smell to experience the smells that have been produced in this ancient temple over the past year.

As his consciousness deepened, the picture of the smell of the ancient temple in the past year gradually unfolded in his mind - in spring, the fresh fragrance of the first blooming wild flowers around the ancient temple; in summer, the faint musty smell of the moist soil and wood after the rain intertwined; when the autumn breeze brought a cool breeze, there was the sweet scent of rotting leaves and ripening fruits in the distance; in the severe winter, the smoky smell of the occasional burning dead branches in the ancient temple, and in those silent days, the smell of antiquity and loneliness in the air.

These smells are like a string of codes, recording the loneliness of the ancient temple and the passage of time, making Chen Yun feel as if he had personally experienced the changes of this ancient temple throughout the four seasons.

Through this extraordinary way of perception, Chen Yun was not only observing, but also having a dialogue with this ancient temple across time and space. Every detail and every breath was telling their own story, allowing him to have a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of this ancient temple.

But no matter how you perceive and try.

But I can't find that special feeling again.

The Garuda statue is so ordinary, no different from any other stone sculpture present. The once exquisite craftsmanship has become mottled with the passage of time.

It seemed as if everything that happened just now was just a lie, and everything was just a dream.

All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows.

If dew is like electricity, it should be viewed in this way.

Chen Yun didn't know the impermanent nature of what had just happened, but he always faced all changes and encounters in life with an equal and detached heart.

Faced with this unprecedented special situation that may involve the cause of changes in one's own body.

Chen Yun's choice was simple and direct.

That is……

Search the mountain!

Starting from this ancient temple, he did not intend to let go of any corner within a hundred miles. He planned to take a careful look at every ant nest and make sure to find out any abnormalities that might exist in this ancient temple and the mountain.

After all, what he encountered in this mountain and this ancient temple was the first situation that might be related to his evolution since his own evolution.

When it comes to situations involving yourself, you naturally have to treat them with caution.

Of course.

Before this, Chen Yun did not take action immediately.

because.

The rain stopped at this moment.

All those who had taken shelter from the rain in the ancient temple began to prepare to go down the mountain one after another.

I looked at my friends around me.

Chen Yun, who didn't feel any strange sensation during the entire rain, decided to follow the crowd and go down the mountain for the time being.

What we need to do now is to go back with our friends without any worries.

Later, when I was alone, I could search the mountain with peace of mind.

After all, Chen Yun was not too anxious about this matter.

I have carefully sensed for a long time and found nothing abnormal, so there is no need to start searching the mountain right away.

Think so.

They went down the mountain in silence.

As the saying goes: It's easy to go up the mountain, but difficult to go down.

Although climbing up the mountain is hard and requires physical strength and perseverance, every step is towards the goal and the road under your feet is relatively stable. When going down the mountain, although gravity can help speed up, the road surface may be more slippery, and it becomes difficult to control speed and maintain balance. If you are not careful, you may fall, which is a higher risk.

And after the rain.

This situation is even more obvious.

Even in scenic areas surrounded by wire mesh, you still need to be extra careful when there are stone steps to avoid slipping accidentally.
