Chapter 60: The Lost City of the Ganges (Good Bodhi)
??After all the people, the old man took the lead and we went down the stone stairs. It was a little wet inside, probably because it was not far from the water source of the Ganges River.
When we reached the bottom, the flashlight flashed and the scene in front of us shocked us. We saw that in the not-so-large space ahead, there was a corpse at every not-far distance. They were arranged neatly, with their faces all facing one direction, bent their bodies, put their hands on their knees, and then lowered their heads.
Wearing the same clothes at the same time, the old man gently turned a corpse over and then looked at the corpse.
"It's not buried with you. These corpses are completely dried naturally and have not been treated at all. And you see, he died peacefully!"
The old man pointed to the face of the deceased and said that the burialists in large tombs, because they were forcibly taken away their lives, death seemed relatively terrifying and ugly. In order to prevent the corpses of the burialists from rotting, some tomb owners would deal with the corpses, and such corpses were generally dark black. After all, in ancient times, the burialists could not use good things to deal with them, and the anti-corrosion was mostly mercury.
After mercury penetrates the corpse, after time oxidation, the skin of the corpse is mostly dark.
The corpses in front of me are completely normal in color and are made by natural air drying.
"I remember they mentioned this kind of place, which seemed to be called the Road to Repentance. Buddhists who think they are guilty will wear Buddhist clothes and come here to comprehend. Many Buddhists basically die on the Road to Repentance. Because people who repent can't eat and water."
Professor Zhou said.
"So they fucked to death and starved to death?"
I was a little shocked and heard that Indian Buddhists are extremely extreme. In order to practice, they do not hesitate to torture themselves, thinking that this will allow their souls to be sublimated, achieve the purpose of entering the Buddha realm and transcending suffering!
But I just heard that this is the first time I have seen a Buddhist injuring himself on the road to repentance.
"In fact, they are basically dying from dehydration, but Buddhists who enter the path of confession will take a special medicine when they come in, which will make people enter a psychedelic state so that they will not feel thirsty or hungry."
"How many people have confessed and attained enlightenment on the road to repentance?"
I asked.
"There are only three masters who have attained enlightenment in history and on the road to confession. They come from different places, but there is no doubt that they are all respected in their own times."
"This success rate is a bit high!"
Upon hearing this, I looked at the dense corpses in front of me. There was no problem with those who could attain enlightenment from this group of people and being respected by others.
"Okay, go over, be careful not to touch the corpse."
No matter how much we complain, we still have to continue walking forward. We around the corpse and head forward with flashlights. About a hundred meters ahead of the corpse, there was a center stone platform, and a wooden box was placed on it.
We swept the flashlight and found that the bodies in front of us were spreading out around the stone platform.
And his face was facing the stone platform. The old man and I looked at each other for a moment, and he signaled to go up. Then he whispered a few words to Kaka and asked Kaka to stay below.
I, the old man, and the eighth master, the three of us walked up to the stone platform with flashlights. Wherever the wooden box was placed quietly, the carving was perfect, and it looked very active.
After the old man got closer, he first took off the folding shovel from Xiaoyao's backpack, and then pushed the wooden box with the folding shovel, and found that there was nothing unusual about it, so he got closer.
We looked around the wooden box, and after watching for a long time, I reached out and twisted the lid of the box. The atmosphere became tense for a moment. The old man and the eighth master both made the flashing equipment. I was not slow and my nerves were also tense.
After they were all equipped, I slowly opened the box. As the wooden box opened, a bead with a slightly golden color on the front and a bead with old wood grain on the back appeared in my eyes.
Although it has only been initially processed, it has a very good luster. The exposed part is like the bright moon, while the exposed part is darkly filled with light and eye-catching.
"It's a good thing!"
The Eighth Master spoke.
"This thing is more than just good things."
The old man said, I looked at him after hearing this, and I had never seen this thing before, so I had to rely on the old man to explain it.
"In India, where Buddhism is prevalent, this thing is called Bodhi."
The old man explained that the eighth master frowned when he heard this, and then said, "No, Bodhi shouldn't be like this? I've seen that thing, and it's definitely not as good as this thing."
“It’s not the best thing to be divided into nine levels.”
The old man smiled.
"This is the reason, so how do you deal with this thing?"
The Eighth Master was relieved. Although he had seen Bodhi, he was only one of them, so he was not very entangled.
"Take it away"
I quickly said, "How can I let go of treasures? But the old man gave me a blank look, "You may not be able to take this thing away. It connects to the stone platform, and then the breath is transmitted from the underground to these corpses. Now, with a gentle touch, this thing will instantly turn into powder."
"There is also the saying? This thing keeps corpses?"
I was a little surprised. I didn't know the effect of Bodhi, but I had never heard of it as a corpse. Otherwise, there would definitely be records of this thing in Chinese history.
"Originally, it can't be raised alone, but with the secret techniques of the dynasty, it can be raised."
The old man smiled.
"Okay, there's no hope, let's go next place."
I sighed helplessly. It would be better not to see it, so I would avoid it.
I got off the stone platform alone. The Eighth Master was still studying Bodhi because of his curiosity. Professor Zhou tinkered below for a long time and finally looked at the stone platform.
He brought a few people up. The old man was stunned for a moment and came to the stone platform. Seeing me standing by, he waved his hand at me and signaled me to go with him.
Seeing this, I was a little confused, but I walked over. The old man took me to avoid them and pointed to the stone wall behind the stone platform and said to me.
"Did you see it? That thing is a good thing, 55"
I glanced at the stone wall and found that there was something that should be jade on the stone wall. Then I looked at the old man with a confused look on his face. In my heart, this guy really couldn't change his temperament. He was still as old as a man.
"What? No, why don't you? Or four or six?"
When the old man saw that I was reluctant to respond, he immediately said.
"Old man, this is not good, let's come in together..."
"What's wrong? Everyone can't get a lot of that thing. You and I will get a lot of benefits. Where can I find this good thing?"
He continued to fool him.
Hearing this, I smiled helplessly and looked at them behind. The old man said that it was indeed like that. It was not enough to divide it. Moreover, Professor Zhou and them would definitely not agree to our split, so they gritted their teeth and agreed.
"Okay, listen to you, 55"
The old man blinked at me when he heard this, and then looked at me with a smile on his face.
"It's not bad for boy, I have a temper with me, why don't I get along with the thread?"
The old man suddenly said, "After I finished speaking, I immediately called Kaka over. After Kaka over, the old man muttered a few words in his ear, but he didn't know what he was saying. Kaka glanced at me and ran away with a red face. What was awkward was that Qian Nanmu saw it.
Seeing that I was standing upset, the old man reached out and patted my shoulder, then lowered his head and said, "It seems that my girl doesn't object!"
“………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Ha ha………"
The old man left with a smile, but he left freely. Qian Nanmu came to the door in the morning. She stood straight in front of me, and then suddenly said, "Ka Ka is very good."
"Yeah, it's pretty good"
I subconsciously said, but this sentence caused trouble in an instant. Qian Nanmu glared at me fiercely and suddenly gave it to me on my waist.
"Okay, right?"
