Nine idlers

After listening to Andre and Mary's words, Xu Changqing's expression became slightly gloomy, and he couldn't help but look up at the sky.Although it seems that the two people's experience is very simple and normal, but Xu Changqing has noticed a little bit of weirdness inside, especially after learning something from Bafomi earlier, this feeling has become stronger.He vaguely felt that their paths were doomed the moment they met him two years ago.If I hadn't met myself two years ago, and I hadn't planted Dao talismans on them, these two people might not be here now, it seems that there is some kind of arrangement in the dark.

After a while, Xu Changqing seemed to have figured something out, lowered his head and looked at the two people in front of him with a calm expression, his eyes became firmer, and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me the date of birth of the two of you !"

Andre and Mary were stunned for a while, with puzzled faces, looked at each other, and after understanding each other's meaning, they told their birth time one by one.When the two reported the time, Xu Changqing immediately converted the time he heard into the Huangdi calendar of the heavenly stems and earthly branches, raised his hands, and at the same time used the sky to calculate the fate of the two.While making calculations, he didn't stand still. Instead, he walked around the surrounding bell-shaped niches in a seemingly irregular manner.

Behind him, Andre and Mary followed closely with puzzled expressions.When Xu Changqing asked the two of them when they were born just now, based on their understanding and knowledge of Eastern mystical religions, they quickly thought of Chinese fortune-telling.Afterwards, things went as they had guessed, but this made them even more puzzled. They didn't understand why Xu Changqing suddenly told their fortunes for the two of them, but they didn't dare to ask, so they could only follow behind Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing went around almost all the bell-shaped niches on the platform, and finally stopped in front of the two outermost bell-shaped niches on the east side. These two niches have been opened, and the Buddha statues in the niches have been removed. Only two empty plinths remained.At this time, Xu Changqing's quick fingers also stopped.The moment he stopped, there seemed to be an illusion of a lotus flower in his palm, and a strange look appeared in his eyes, looking at the two gasping behind him.

"The two Buddha statues here must not have been moved by you?" Xu Changqing asked slowly after the breath of the two gradually calmed down.

Andre and Mary were stunned for a moment, they both mistakenly thought that Xu Changqing was blaming them for destroying the historical sites here, they quickly shook their heads, and said in unison: "No, the two Buddha statues are gone before we came!" Then Mary added : "And according to our subsequent investigations, there were never any Buddha statues placed in these two niches, they were just two empty niches."

"Of course it's an empty shrine," Xu Changqing looked at the two meaningfully, and said, "Because the people who built these two Buddha statues are still alive. How could there be Buddha statues?"

"Mr. Xu, what do you mean?" Xu Changqing's eyes made Andre feel a sense of horror in his heart, his scalp went numb, and he couldn't help asking anxiously.

"Mr. Andre, what do you think my words mean?" Xu Changqing smiled and asked back.But without waiting for Andre to answer.He asked again: "Do you two want to live? Or do you want to die?"

After Xu Changqing's words came out, Andre and Mary looked at Xu Changqing in horror, and they backed up a few steps until they leaned against a bell-shaped Buddhist altar.Only then did they realize that if Xu Changqing wanted their lives, it was impossible for them to escape.And since Xu Changqing asked them this question, it means that they still have a glimmer of hope.

"Of course we want to live, who wants to die?" Andre signaled Mary not to speak, and protecting her behind him, he summoned up his courage to take two steps forward, and said to Xu Changqing.

"You are a very friendly man, much better than some people." Xu Changqing naturally saw the fear in Andre's eyes at the moment, nodded appreciatively for his behavior, and then said: "The reason why I just now I asked you two when you were born. I just want to know why you two foreigners are involved in my life? What does it have to do with the purpose of my trip? So I use Chinese numerology to calculate your past lives This life. It turned out that you did not appear here for no reason, and me, no. It should be said that your previous life had a deep connection with this Borobudur."

After hearing Xu Changqing's mysterious and mysterious words, the fear in their hearts seemed to be diluted by stronger curiosity, and Mary, who had been hiding behind Andre, couldn't help standing up and asking: "Past life? What was our previous life?"

Xu Changqing smiled slightly, and did not answer the two immediately, but pointed to the Borobudur, and said: "The ancients built the Borobudur for two purposes, one is to obtain blessings and merits, and the other is to save the souls of the dead. You should also know that in ancient India, the city-states and small countries have always been fighting endlessly. Even during the most powerful Mauryan Dynasty, India has not been truly unified. The most direct result of the endless wars is a large number of casualties, so the ancient Indians Various religious ceremonies are often used to rescue the souls of those who died in the fire of war, and when Buddhism became popular, the construction of the pagoda became the main ceremony for this kind of rescue of the dead. This pagoda was originally used to save the souls of the dead, but it was built When it was about to be completed, there was a little mistake, so the monks who originally built the pagoda had to change the construction method of the pagoda, from the original Chaodu pagoda to the current town prison pagoda."

Andre felt something in his heart, pointed to the two empty Buddhist altars, and asked: "Mr. Xu, the little mistake you mentioned is these two Buddha statues?"

Xu Changqing stared at Andre, nodded, and continued: "I once saw in an ancient book the construction method of the super-salvation pagoda in ancient India. They would use the spiritual bones left after the cremation of eminent monks with great cultivation as pagodas. The pedestals of the Buddha statues are then arranged in a wonderful formation, which can achieve the effect of saving a large number of dead souls. Although the starting point of building the pagoda is good intentions, the last step in the construction of the pagoda is very cruel. The builders of the pagoda will first find a For men and women with the strongest yang and yin qi, let them accept the blessing of hundreds of eminent monks, force them to become Arhats, and then seal their spiritual orifices so that they cannot be reborn in bliss. The two of them sealed off the vital parts of the Buddha's formation, and used the method of living sacrifices to activate the entire formation of the Buddha's salvation."

As he spoke, he took a step forward, circulated his true essence, and extended his palms together, patting on the edges of the two thousand-jin boulder bases.After a harsh grinding sound, Andre and Mary stared dumbfounded at the two boulder bases that were already seven or eight meters away, and then at Xu Changqing who looked relaxed, and couldn't help swallowing dryly.

I saw that Xu Changqing pointed at the two vertical potholes that were originally covered by the boulder base with a serious expression at this moment, and said to the two: "This place was originally prepared for the two of you."
