"Oh?" I raised my eyebrows and smiled, "There is really Buddha bone relics in this world?"

Perhaps it was my doubts that made Jian Bin suddenly excited, "That's not, it's recorded in history."

"I hope to hear it carefully!" I looked at him sideways, looking like a good student.

Jian Bin smiled and said, "Well, take the records in "Guanghongming Collection" as an example. Originally, the Buddha's real body relics were worshipped in the Daxingguo Temple in the Sui Dynasty. Unfortunately, the war turned this Daxingguo Temple into ruins, leaving only the foundation of the pagoda."

"At that time, in 689 AD, Wu Zetian took power. Some Buddhist disciples said that the Great Cloud Sutra said: There was a celestial woman who came to earth to dominate the world, and this celestial woman was Wu Zetian. If she ascended the throne, she would follow the will of heaven."

"This is exactly what Wu Zetian wants, so she immediately ordered the whole country to build Dayun Temple and spread the "Dayun Sutra" widely."

"Jingchuan, as the gateway to the capital at that time, was no exception. By chance, when the Dayun Temple was built in Jingchuan, the Buddha's true body relics were accidentally discovered under the foundation of the Sui Dynasty. After hearing about this, Wu Zetian was very happy and issued an order to spend a huge amount of money to build the Dayun Temple in Jingchuan to worship the relics with the most solemn courtesy. From then on, the incense of Dayun Temple in Jingchuan was so popular that the Buddhist affairs were busy."

"However, there were unexpected situations in the sky. In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, a sudden flood destroyed the ancient city of Jingchuan. All the classics that have recorded the history of ancient Jingzhou for more than 3,000 years since the Shang and Zhou dynasties were gone, and Dayun Temple was washed away."

Speaking of this, a deep feeling of distress flashed across Jian Bin's face, "In this way, the Buddha's bones' real body relics were quietly lying in the underground palace of Dayun Temple for more than 400 years. By the 1960s, the Dayun Temple ruins had become a farmland."

"Then how do you make sure that the red sandalwood box contains the Buddha's relics rather than the relics of other monks?" I asked in confusion.

Jian Bin sighed and said, "Actually, we are not sure. We just look at its specifications, including the golden coffin, silver, copper box and red sandalwood. We can guess this. As for whether it is, it will take a while to determine the results to know."

There are three common types of relics: white bone relics, black hair relics, and red flesh relics. White bone relics are what we call "relics".

However, no matter which kind of relics is, they are sacred objects of Buddhism and are respected by believers.

Relics are a unique phenomenon among the Buddhist monks. They cannot be damaged by fire and are extremely harder than steel!

"How did this relic be made?" The bones are understandable, but how can the hair and flesh and blood be burnt? I asked curiously. Although it is not sure, I think that the "golden eye" is probably related to it, so it is absolutely right to know more about this knowledge.

Seeing that I was very interested, Jian Bin also actively explained: "It's like this. There have always been many different opinions on the formation of relics and different opinions."

"Some experts have studied that relics may be a super-energy condensate, a form of conversion from non-material to matter."

"Some scholars also proposed that because Buddhist monks have been vegetarian for a long time, they consume a lot of cellulose and minerals, and after the human body's metabolism, a large amount of phosphate, carbonate, etc. are easily formed, and finally deposited in the body in the form of crystals."

I don't think this explanation is completely convinced. "There are thousands of vegetarians in the world, so why are there no relics appearing? Besides, there are countless Buddhist disciples. Will everyone have relics appearing?"

Jian Bin scratched his head and said, "Well, relics are basically the product of the passing of the monks, and they are only available to monks with profound Buddhist teachings. Let's assume that if Buddhism is a skill, long-term practice can produce a special energy, just like the internal power practiced in martial arts novels. This can explain that relics are transformed by an energy. Then, these energy is left in the human body, and when the monk dies, they are cremated and calcined, they will form relics."

"In addition, due to changes in the environment, different opportunities, or defects in the martial arts, it cannot be cultivated to the point of perfection. This explains why only monks have it. Each monk has different attainments due to the different Buddhist teachings he practices, which makes the burned relics have different colors and sizes."

I nodded, this makes some sense.

Perhaps only those who follow the Buddha can understand the mystery of Buddhism in the Buddha world.

The Buddhist view of cause and effect and behavioral values ​​are the energy generated by people who understand all behaviors and can constantly show its power in the body and mind.

Seeing Jian Bin being so good at joking, I thought I would take the opportunity to make a spell, so I asked, "By the way, I heard from your captain that Qiyou Mountain is very dangerous. If you go there for a lifetime, will you have four people in your archaeological team?"

Unexpectedly, Jian Bin shook his head and said, "No, it's not four people, it's three. I'm responsible for supporting outside. However, the captain, deputy captain and Bailou are all very powerful. I believe there will be no accident in them. As for you..."

As he said that, Jian Bin looked up and down at me and said with some concern: "Brother Xia, although I know that I shouldn't say some things, I still want to advise you to just go there and take a look. Don't go deeper. The ancient cemetery palace is not as simple as you think!"

"Ah, am I thinking too much? Hehe, there has been completely blocked. Although the captain and the others agreed to take you in, what if you enter? You are not from the archaeological team and may be sent back soon."

Me: "..." This is a problem. You have to find a way to act with Gu Chaoge and the others.

Although I was in a passive state, I couldn't lose my part, so I smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, there will be a road before the car arrives at the mountain, I know it."

"Aren't you afraid of death? Nearly two thousand people died for no reason on Qiyou Mountain, and the blood in their bodies disappeared! As far as I know, there are no wounds on them!" Jian Bin said mysteriously.

"What? Are you trying to scare me away?" I said with a smile on my lips and looked into his eyes.

Jian Bin scratched his head awkwardly and said with a smile: "How could it be? I just tell you the truth. Well, if you really want to go, you can join our archaeological team, although we never recruit outsiders..."

I curled the corners of my mouth and deliberately looked at the scenery in the distance without saying anything. This guy said so much to me, obviously he had other purposes!

Sure enough, Jian Bin hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said to me: "Tell me the truth, because our team's archaeological research areas are very dangerous, and the last time we took action... Alas, we are short of people recently. I think Brother Xia, you are not only brave but also have good luck. If you are really not afraid of death, you might as well go to our captain to talk to you about it?"
