Chapter 36 The Monk

As soon as he saw this tall and strange "robot", Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong's hearts stumbled at the same time. Every pore on the body could not help but close, and hairs stood up in an instant.

At this moment, the same noun flashed through their minds:

"Monks of the Monks' Order!"

This is a very dangerous creature on the dust. It also has a name:

"Eternal Man"!

According to the internal textbook of "Pangu Biology", before the destruction of the old world, humans had made breakthrough progress in certain scientific and technological fields, among which the most outstanding and most amazing and yearning for is "consciousness upload".

This technology can upload human consciousness into specially designed robot bionic chips through special equipment, so as to free human beings from the limitations of their fragile body, no longer aging, no longer getting sick, no longer hungry, no longer die due to the passage of time, and only regular maintenance or replacement of carriers are required to achieve immortality at the level of consciousness.

However, before the old world was completely destroyed, there were still many shortcomings in this scientific and technological achievements, which were never officially applied and only existed in the laboratory.

When the old world was destroyed and the age of chaos came, a group of robots who called themselves "eternal people" suddenly appeared on the earth.

They used their imagination, thinking styles and other powerful evidence to convince the remaining people that they were indeed humans and that consciousness could live forever.

But according to those "Eternal People", all the technologies of "consciousness upload" have been lost in the catastrophe. Now there are only a few devices left to use. Only one factory can produce "bionic chips" and corresponding robots that can carry human consciousness. They cannot reversely crack them, and only know how to use these to create "Eternal People" to a limited extent.

Therefore, their purpose of walking on the earth is to call on mankind to unite, reverse cracking devices, reproduce corresponding technologies, and allow everyone to gain immortality, end the dark age, and enter a new world.

Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong didn’t know how they developed at that time, they only knew that this is recorded in the textbook:

“As time goes by, the ‘Eternal People’ gradually exposed many problems. It’s not that they are full of malicious intentions, but that the technology is far from mature enough.

"One of the most significant problem is that when a person loses the feelings brought by his body, he also loses the motivation for humans to struggle and survive.

"Many 'Eternal People' began to feel that life was boring and meaningless, and they had very serious mental problems. The crazy 'Eternal People' brought a new round of extremely serious harm to the already fragile human group at that time.

"Although the remaining 'Eternal People' did not go crazy, they also became very confused. They began to seek solace from various religious relics left over from the old world.

"Ultimately, they took one religion as the main body and absorbed useful things from other religions, creating a new, self-consistent but extremely distorted new religion that could help them solve psychological problems.

"They called themselves monks and called the hidden stronghold with the 'conscious upload' equipment Liuli Pure Land."

These robot monks are not afraid of light weapons and have strong firepower. They are like an exoskeleton device with human intelligence. They are dangerous creatures that ordinary humans cannot fight with by small teams. Even if they use heavy weapons, they may have to cooperate with dozens or hundreds of well-trained people and have proper tactics to have a chance to solve a monk.

When Jiang Baimian summarized the more dangerous humans before, he did not mention the "immortal humans". This is because members of major forces on the gray soil and wanderers in the wilderness regarded these monks as another creature, a creature that was completely different from himself.

Of course, monks in the monks are not too aggressive to humans, and in many cases, they are friendly enough.

But the problem is that consciousness cannot be generated out of thin air, and one monk who loses the ability to reproduce will be less if one is destroyed.

In order to maintain the "population" and the sect, monks are active in various wildernesses, looking for "people with destiny".

If found, they will "transfer" the target back to the Pure Land of Glaze, let the other party give up their physical body, and upload their consciousness into the robot's bionic chip.

Among those "destined people", a small number of people are full of desire for "eternal life" and do not resist. Most of them are afraid to try due to the defects of "eternal life" that are passed down, but as long as they are attracted by monks, they are willing or unwilling to do so.

This made the reputation of the monks' sect quickly worse, and it could almost be said to be of bad reputation.

At the same time, it may be because of the "Eternal Man" technology that many mechanical monks have certain and different problems. When they encounter specific scenes or even hear specific words, they will be unable to control themselves and become crazy. It takes a while to calm down, just like having a triggered mental illness or a triggered personality defect.

This unstable state makes many humans on the dust regard mechanical monks as beasts.

Based on these reasons, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong reacted so loudly when they found a mechanical monk opposite.

——Only monks in the monk's sect will like to wear monk's robes and cassocks outside their bodies. Ordinary intelligent robots will not have any needs and "hobbies" in this regard.

Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao simultaneously aimed the muzzle of the "Berserker" assault rifle at the iron-black robot wearing a red cassock, and their foreheads were covered with cold sweat.

They knew that the weapons on their bodies could not threaten the other party at all, and the other party was not as vital as the robbers who had worn military exoskeleton devices before and could target them.

When facing mechanical monks, in terms of equipment, they have no chance of winning. The reason for aiming is mainly because of conditioned reflex.

At this moment, they could only pray silently in their hearts, hoping that they were not "destined to be".

The next second, the robot, who was 1.9 meters tall, wearing a tattered monk's robe and wearing a red cassock, glanced at them with his slightly black and cold hard face, and swept them with his flashing red eyes.

The mechanical monk walked silently to the person who fell to death without saying a word.

A cold and emotional voice rang out:

"All sentient beings suffer, why are you obsessed with it?

"After me return to the Pure Land, abandon my body and skin, and attain the supreme enlightenment, you will understand that the four elements are empty, and those who are awakened will last forever."

After saying that, the mechanical monk clasped his hands together and recited lowly:

"Namo Anuttara Samyaksambodhi." (Note 1)

Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong saw that the other party ignored them, looked at each other, and began to step back silently, in a tacit understanding.

At this moment, the mechanical monk wearing a red cassock kept his posture unchanged and made another cold and emotional sound:

"Why donors don't wait for a moment?

"Although you have no connection with my Buddha, all sentient beings have Buddha nature, and listening to the scriptures is not a bad thing."

Hearing the word "no fate", Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong were secretly happy and breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, they were afraid of angering each other and could only stop their retreat.

——Since the monk has no intention of attacking or transcending the world, and just wants to teach it, it is better to listen to it casually than to work hard.

Seeing Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong stopped, the mechanical monk looked at the corpse on the ground and continued:

"Although you are obsessed with enlightenment, my Buddha and Bodhi are compassionate, and I cannot bear to see you expose my body in the wilderness and cannot be liberated.

"I will save your soul, and may you completely get rid of your body and be reborn in the Pure Land."

Long Yuehong looked at it quietly, and Shang Jianyao's voice suddenly sounded in his ears:

"How do you plan to be free?"

The mechanical monk stretched out his right hand and pointed his palm at the corpse.

Then, he held his left palm up and whispered:

"Namo Anuttara Samyaksambodhi, great compassion, save all sentient beings, purify the fire, burn your shackles..." (Note 1)

As the chanting sounded, a stream of blazing white and rich flames spewed out of the right palm of the mechanical monk, instantly igniting the corpse.

And these flames seemed to stick to the surface of the corpse and could not be extinguished.

After doing this, the mechanical monk wearing a red cassock turned around and walked towards Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong:

"Two donors, my monk's Dharma name is 'Jingfa' and a 'monk'."

Seeing that Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong did not respond, he suddenly sat cross-legged, swayed his robes lightly, and said in the cold and emotional voice:

"Sit down."

Shang Jianyao hesitated for a moment, took a few steps forward, and sat on the ground in the most convenient jumping posture.

Long Yuehong slowed down for a few seconds, walked to the same position, and sat down.

The mechanical monk who called himself "monk" Pure Dharma flashed red in his eyes, and he nodded slightly and said:

"I wonder what the two donors know about my Buddha Bodhi?"

Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong shook their heads at the same time.

The mechanical monk Jingfa was not angry, and his cold voice inexplicably brought a bit of solemnity:

"My Buddha Bodhi is one of the thirteen years who are in charge of the years and this world.

“He is the Lord of January, the beginning of all things, the budding and incarnation of consciousness.”

Note 1: The religious books found by the monks are all broken, so it is normal to have errors in the Buddha's name, doctrine, and patchwork from other religious doctrines. Well, this is also different from the real religion to avoid trouble.
