Chapter 114 The Stupa

Shaoyang is in awe, they are all respected professions.

"Hello."

Shaoyang greeted them politely.

The two returned the gift.

However, in fact, they were somewhat surprised in their hearts, how long did Shaoyang practice? To be able to sit on an equal footing with them, and let Chomont deliberately invite him?

Of course, although he was surprised in his heart, he naturally wouldn't say much on the surface.

They also joked a few words, envious of Shaoyang getting a bronze medal.

It's not easy!

That is to say, he was born in the imperial capital branch, at the foot of the imperial city, and happened to have made meritorious service on the high-speed rail, so he won one, right?

Qiao Meng waited for them to exchange pleasantries, and then took up the topic, "Shaoyang, you just came here, let me give you a brief introduction. This time it is my responsibility. I didn't estimate the difficulty of this ruin, and the arrangement was not good. The previous exploration resulted in the sacrifice of four comrades."

Four people were sacrificed?

Shaoyang was a little surprised, but also a little regretful.

I heard Chomon continue to say, "So, I temporarily decided to withdraw them all, and be responsible for the peripheral cleanup and maintenance of order, and a few of our D-level superpowers will enter and explore."

"There is a shortage of manpower, so I want to recruit Shaoyang to join the mission; you can rest assured that you will be satisfied with the rewards for completing the mission."

Shao Yang nodded, since he came, he was naturally ready.

Besides, after hearing the news of the death of four young comrades, he really couldn't say no to it...

As for rewards, the official side has always been very generous.

"Okay." Shaoyang agreed.

Seeing that Shaoyang didn't refuse, Qiao Meng was also relieved. There are always many changes in the relics. Just like this time, I thought it was just an ordinary relic. Unexpectedly, some accidents suddenly occurred, resulting in the sacrifice of four comrades.

Every sacrifice is a great loss!

To be honest, there are still a few of them with a small number of people, but they can't recruit more people for a while, so they can only go in and explore first.

After making the decision, Qiao Meng immediately led the crowd around a rockery, followed the winding path, and soon arrived at a towerin.

This is the burial place of many eminent monks in Xingjiao Temple.

As for the "relics", there were originally a few of them, but they have already been taken away by the authorities and treasured.

This time, it was because of a strange splendor that suddenly appeared in a stupa, and they discovered it, so they organized people to come to explore. To be honest, as ordinary forces, maybe they are looking forward to more and various relics, but as people in the seventh game, they are really afraid of relics.

Shaoyang has already understood the situation.

Soon, everyone arrived in front of this stupa, but they saw a strong young man in military uniform waiting here. It was a real military uniform, not a uniform worn by superpowers.

Shaoyang knew that this was a superpower from the military.

The seventh game is local forces.

The military also has superpowers.

In addition, there are various folk forces. In addition, there are some casual cultivators who have no power.

Sure enough, Chomon called him "Major Zhang Xun".

At such a young age, he looks like he is not much older than Shaoyang, yet he is already a major.

Zhang Xun nodded to everyone, and acted vigorously, "Let's go in."

"good."

So, everyone filed in.

Shaoyang watched from the side, the stupa was only five or six meters high and only divided into three floors. It is generally rumored that the height and number of floors of the stupa are related to the practice of eminent monks during their lifetime; but in fact, according to Shaoyang's current understanding, the stupa is just an external thing, determined by circumstances.

Not to mention, these days, Shaoyang is also studying all kinds of Taoist classics assiduously whenever he has the opportunity, borrowing and buying a lot of books, and further deepening his understanding.

By the way, I even read a lot of Buddhist scriptures.

but,

[Triggered] Several scriptures, still nothing to gain...

...

Qiao Meng took the lead and lifted his foot towards the stupa, and the whole person disappeared from the spot immediately. Shaoyang and the others followed suit and quickly entered the tower.

Shao Yang unfolded his [Nether Eyes]. Although it was pitch black, he could already see a general idea clearly.

Seen from the outside, the stupa is only about two meters in size, but after entering it, it is so wide that it has a radius of tens of meters! This is just the area you can see right now.

Zhang Xun took out a few military night vision devices and distributed them to everyone, "The light of the torches and flashlights here is suppressed by the formation."

Dong Shu and Chai Lu didn't dare to be careless, they both took it and put it on.

When assigned to Shaoyang, Shaoyang waved his hand and said with a smile: "I have a secret method, so I don't need this."

Zhang Xun couldn't help but glance at Shaoyang, nodded slightly, and took it back.

Everyone moves forward carefully.

Zhang Xun originally walked in the front, but since he knew that Shaoyang had a secret technique, he called out to him, "Can you walk in the front with me?"

Shao Yang nodded, "Yes."

Everyone moved forward, and not long after, they saw a stone tablet.

Shao Yang stared at the stele.

I saw the front side of the stone tablet read: [At that time, Ananda stood up from his seat in the crowd, leaned on his right shoulder, put his right knee on the ground, put his palms together in respect, and said to the Buddha, "I am the youngest brother of the Tathagata, and I am loved by the Buddha... ..."]

Shaoyang's heart moved, and he felt that this should be part of the Buddhist scriptures before reading it.

Although he has read Buddhist scriptures, he doesn't actually remember much. However, I can’t remember, there is a cheater! With a movement of Shaoyang's spiritual sense, he scanned the screen:

It turned out to be a passage from the Shurangama Sutra.

Shaoyang turned to the back of the stele, and saw the second passage:

【At that time, the World-Honored One emitted various lights from the door of his face, and the lights shone like hundreds of thousands of suns, and the worlds of Buddhas were shaken in six ways. The majesty of the Buddha makes all the worlds merge into one realm. In this world, all the great bodhisattvas live in their own country and listen with folded palms. 】

By the way, Shao Yang found the meaning of the text from the screen.

And at this time, Qiao Meng and the others had already followed, and Qiao Meng was surprised, "Shaoyang, what are you looking at here?"

Shao Yang pointed to the stele, "Here is engraved a passage from the Shurangama Sutra."

"The Shurangama Sutra?"

Dong Shu couldn't help pushing his glasses, and quickly stepped forward to identify them carefully, but his vision was dim. Although he had military night vision devices, they were only infrared night vision devices, but he couldn't see the words on the stone tablet clearly.

Shaoyang had no choice but to read out for him one by one.

To be honest, Buddhist scriptures are actually very difficult to understand, without a foundation, no matter how high the cultivation base is, it is useless.

Tan Hao had already heard it in a cloud, and even Zhang Xun and Chai Lu had question marks on their faces.

What the hell?

Qiao Meng asked Dong Shu humbly, "Professor Dong, what does this passage mean?"

If they were outside, they didn't particularly mind; but when they appeared in the ruins, they naturally paid a little attention, maybe there were some secrets hidden in the ruins.

Dong Shu looked embarrassed, "This, this, the Shurangama Sutra, seems to tell the story of Ananda being trapped, and then the Tathagata Buddha rescued him."

It's a pity that everyone was even more at a loss.

Ananda?

Who is that?

Save Ananda? Since it is about salvation, why is it that what is said here seems to be talking about Buddhism?

You must know that although Dong Shu is a professor in the history department and has profound knowledge, he will naturally not put much effort into Buddhist scriptures if he has nothing to do. After all, the exercises he practiced are not of the Buddhist sect...

Seeing them feel really uncomfortable, Shaoyang was really entangled in his heart, should he show the limelight?
