Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes

As the stones around the cave were removed one by one, the exposed hole became bigger and bigger. Under the sunlight, everyone saw a passage below, but they didn't know which direction the underground palace led.

"Professor Li, there is wind in the passage."

A professor from the Devil's University stretched out his hand to feel it, and a somewhat gloomy wind blew out from the cave.

"It seems that the underground palace is not completely closed. Even if our underground cave is not open, there should be other openings for air circulation."

Li Mo asked everyone to back off, and asked people to continue digging in two directions along the passage. There were trees growing here before, and he worried that the roots going deep underground would affect the stability of the underground palace. So the safest way is to excavate in an all-round way, revealing the true face of the underground palace layer by layer.

"Benefactor Li, considering the changing weather, do we need to make preparations in advance?"

Master Jing Chi reminded him.

"Master, don't worry, the boss has presided over many archaeological works, so we have already arranged what you have considered. It is estimated that a car will deliver the materials in another hour, and we will build a steel structure shelter here and Lighting facilities, and there are people on duty here."

The brown bear explained from the side.

"Good and good."

Yan Yangyang looked up curiously at Master Jing Chi.

"Little benefactor, is there anything wrong with the poor monk?" Master Jing Chi asked with a faint smile.

"My master said that the master is a master outside the world. Since he has already attained the Tao, shouldn't he be the only Buddha in his heart? How can he care about these trivial worldly things?"

Master Jingchi clasped his hands together hurriedly: "Amitabha, you are so kind. I never thought that the little benefactor would also have great wisdom. Although the poor monk is a fellow practitioner with the Buddha, his relationship with the Buddha is still shallow, so people are outside the world, but their hearts are inside the world."

Yan Yangyang blinked his eyes, somewhat unable to understand. She walked to Liu Chuanqing's side and whispered, "Master, why do I think that Master Jing Chi is a bit like a magic stick in TV dramas."

Liu Chuanqing's face sank: "No nonsense."

Yan Yangyang still looked a little unconvinced, muttering something in his mouth.

At this time, Liu Chuanqing leaned down and whispered in her ear: "Shigong thinks the same as you, but your master must have his reason for believing that he is an eminent monk. You don't need to believe Shigong, but don't you believe you too?" Master?"

Yan Yangyang thoughtfully, nodded and said, "Master's words must be correct."

"So when facing Master Jing Chi, we must respect him enough."

After working for about an hour, a worker in the tunnel suddenly screamed and crawled out of the cave: "There are dead people, there are dead people."

Li Mo, who had been paying attention to the situation of the burrow, immediately pulled him up, and other workers also climbed out one after another, looking at the dark burrow one by one, and saw a skeleton looming through the weak sunlight.

"Benefactor Li, the poor monk is willing to go down with you and take a closer look."

Master Jingchi looked calm and calm, his left hand bowed, and his right hand kept pinching a string of Buddhas.

"Okay, the others are waiting outside." Li Mo took a spotlight flashlight from the brown bear, and he jumped into the hole, followed by Master Jing Chi, who looked light and seemed to have practiced martial arts.

As soon as the light came on, the dark cave was as bright as daylight. There was a huge niche on the wall on the left, surrounded by marble, and a remains sat in the niche.

"The whole body relic, bodhisattva in the flesh!"

Master Jing Chi couldn't help but exclaimed, and immediately put his hands together and began to worship: "Amitabha!"

The people around the cave stretched their heads to watch, this time they could see more clearly. The remains in the alcove had undecomposed muscles and lifelike facial expressions.

Li Mo also bowed deeply. What Master Jingchi said just now is correct. There are two kinds of relics left by Buddhist eminent monks. One is the relics left by a certain part of the body, and the other is the whole body relics.

There are whole body relics enshrined in several ancient temples in China, so Li Mo was not surprised to see the whole body relics here.

"Master, there is also a niche on the right wall, but there is no relic."

"Amitabha."

He only knew this sentence, Li Mo shook his head slightly and said, "Master, let's continue to move forward."

Li Mo led the way ahead, there was a turning in front, they walked about three meters, followed by the light, followed by Master Jing Chi immediately knelt down on his knees, reciting a certain Buddhist scripture, very pious.

Li Mo's throat moved, and he was also shocked. In front of him was a huge circular underground palace hall. On the wall were stone niches, and in each niche was a full-body relic.

"Master Jing Chi, let's get out immediately."

Li Mo suddenly frowned, and pulled Master Jing Chi who was kneeling on the ground out of the underground palace.

"Benefactor Li, the Buddha is right in front of you, why do you want to withdraw?"

"Master, don't you smell a strange fragrance in the underground palace?"

Master Jing Chi was stunned for a moment, and then bowed: "Amitabha, you are so good."

"Xiao Mo, what's going on in the underground palace?"

Liu Chuanqing asked hurriedly.

"There is a niche on the left and right walls at the entrance and exit of the underground palace, but there is only a full-body relic in the left niche. Relic. I wanted to take a closer look, but there was a strange fragrance left in the underground palace, and I was afraid that there would be problems if I inhaled too much, so I hurried out first."

"Unexpectedly, there are thirteen bodhisattvas in the flesh in the underground palace of this ancient temple. The poor monk must sincerely worship Amitabha for the rest of his life."

Yan Yangyang asked at this time: "Master, what is a body Bodhisattva?"

"In Buddhism, if you practice to the highest level, you can expect to achieve immortality after death. In Buddhism, a body that is not corrupted is called 'whole body relic', which means that after the death of monks and nuns, the body has not only been decayed and festered for many years, but also lifelike. Being able to achieve the state of incorruptible physical body is naturally not achieved by ordinary cultivation. Therefore, monks and nuns with indestructible physical bodies are honored as "flesh body Bodhisattva". After the Tang and Song Dynasties, a considerable number of "flesh body Bodhisattva" titles appeared. But unfortunately, Thousands of years later, due to frequent wars, countless famous mountains and Dachuan temples were destroyed and monks were scattered, and the golden bodies of Bodhisattvas in the flesh are too many to be preserved."

Li Mo looked at the underground palace again. It was really hard to believe that there would be thirteen bodhisattvas in the underground palace of this ancient temple. From this, we can imagine how prosperous and brilliant the incense here was when the ancient temples still existed.

It's just that with the passage of time, everything has become impossible to verify, and perhaps some clues about the ancient temple can be found in the underground palace.

"Professor Li, what should we do next?"

A professor from the University of Magic asked, they are only doing academic research, and they can only say that they have only a half-knowledge about archaeology.

"For the archaeology of Buddhist culture, there are people who are more professional and authoritative than us. I will contact them now and charter a flight for them to come over overnight."

Li Mo hurried to the side, took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, it rang several times before he got connected.

"Hello, Professor Li."

"Hello Mr. Xue, I have something to ask for your help."

"What's the matter?" Xue Zhifeng's voice over there was somewhat curious, "Could it be related to Buddhist culture and archaeology?"

"Mr. Xue guessed right. I am now in a small mountain village near Chang'an in Shaanxi Province. You must have heard the news these days. The underground palace of the ancient temple that has been passed down from generation to generation has been found. I found in the underground palace The thirteen body bodhisattvas were preliminarily identified before the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In the archaeology of Buddhist culture, you are the authority, so I need to ask Xue Lao to help me."

Hearing the sound of chair legs rubbing against the ground on the other end of the phone, Xue Zhifeng's voice immediately became a little excited: "Professor Li, you give me an address now, I will gather other experts and rush over there immediately, we can meet tomorrow .”

"Okay, I will arrange a charter flight and wait for my news."
