Embers Ad Infinitum

Although DiMarco's encounter has shown that the "hall of stars" appeared some time after the destruction of the old world, Jing Nian's argument is still quite valuable.

First of all, this confirms that the destruction of the old world has brought about the awakening of a group of human beings. In other words, at the same time as the outbreak of "innocence disease", a few people have been awakened, such as DiMarco, for example, the "Order of Monks" certain persons within;

Secondly, Jing Nian mentioned that with the emergence of the "Star Hall", the difficulty of awakening has become lower.

This is obviously not random talk, and there must be corresponding evidence.

Jiang Baimian can even guess why Jing Nian said this:

The group of people in the "Monk Religion" who had never been able to wake up before, after the "Star Hall" appeared, some of them were awakened one after another.

"Is that so." Shang Jianyao suddenly realized, and then looked disappointed, "When I woke up, there was already a 'star hall', so I couldn't challenge the highest difficulty."

Then, he asked curiously:

"Zen master, I know that many people in your sect have awakened before uploading their consciousness and becoming mechanical monks. So, have the original 'eternal people' been awakened?"

The red light in Jing Nian's eye sockets flickered a few times:

"Yes, but very little, in proportion, significantly lower than non-'immortal people'."

"Why?" Shang Jianyao looked like he wanted to fight for the mechanical monk.

The neck made of Jingnian metal turned left and right, indicating that he did not know the reason.

Jiang Baimian pondered for a while and said:

"What is the difference between the awakening of the 'immortal' and the awakening of ordinary people?"

"No." Jing Nian answered without hesitation.

Jiang Baimian thought for a few seconds and then said:

"Are there any other changes attached?"

The red light in the eyes of the mechanical monk instantly intensified a lot.

After a while, he replied:

"Monks who wake up after uploading their consciousness, the bionic chip corresponding to the body will appear a certain degree of disorder when they wake up, and it takes dozens of minutes to re-adapt."

"Why is this?" Shang Jianyao said the voice of everyone present.

"We don't know either, we've been doing the corresponding research." Jing Nian said, and whispered the Buddha's name, "Namo Abedo Sammyak Sambodhi."

The monks are doing research on chips and organisms? As a folklore scholar who has a good understanding of the old world, Jiang Baimian always finds such a thing quite absurd.

But looking at Jing Nian's tall and sturdy body made of black metal, she felt that it was a matter of course.

"Aren't you supposed to study the Dharma every day?" asked the honest businessman, Zen Master Yaodai Purdue.

The mechanical monk Jing Nian replied in a synthetic voice:

"A large number of people in the sect are themselves researchers who participated in the 'Eternal Life' project. In addition to studying Buddhism, they will also find other things for themselves to do to enrich their long lives."

Hearing this, Long Yuehong couldn't help but ask:

"After uploading consciousness, can you really live forever?

"Without considering that this technology is still flawed and will cause serious mental problems."

Jing Nian fell silent.

Long Yuehong was immediately embarrassed:

"If this involves the secrets of your sect, just treat it as if I didn't ask."

It is not easy to find a mechanical monk who can communicate with each other. He inevitably wants to confirm whether the news widely circulated on the dust and written into the textbook of "Pangu Biology" is true.

——It is obviously impossible for the “Old Tuned Group” to discuss this issue with them calmly.

The mechanical monk Jing Nian said slowly:

"It wasn't just mental issues, we later found that as the number of uploads increased, the corresponding awareness diminished, and the passage of time also brought similar changes.

"Those researchers have been working hard for decades to find the reason to perfect the 'immortal man' technology, but in any case, the life of 'immortal man' is several times, or even ten times, that of a normal person, and there is enough time Let us comprehend the Dharma, cultivate ourselves, attain the fruition, and attain transcendence."

This corresponds to the rumor that the technology of "Eternal Life" is far from mature... Jiang Baimian nodded invisibly.

Xu Liyan next to him was heartbroken.

He plans to wait until he enjoys the prosperity of the world, and after he turns fifty, he will upload his consciousness and become an "eternal person".

Of course, Jing Nian also told him that when a person's consciousness begins to decay, there is a certain danger and failure rate in the technology of "eternal life".

That's why Xu Liyan didn't think about uploading his consciousness until he was seventy-eighty.

It was not until this time that Shang Jianyao seemed to realize that there was a problem with the earliest answer given by the mechanical monk Jing Nian:

"Zen master, why does the difficulty of awakening become lower with the 'Hall of Stars'?"

"In this regard, we have many examples." Jing Nian only said conclusions, not specifics.

Shang Jianyao tried his best to defend:

"I mean, why does the 'Hall of Stars' bring about a reduction in the difficulty of awakening?"

"This is because of the compassion of my Buddha." The mechanical monk in a yellow robe and a red cassock clasped his hands together and said reverently, "'The Hall of Stars', the 'Sea of ​​Origin', and the 'Spiritual Corridor' are the Tathagatas of the World. The door of convenience created by the Buddha and Bodhi to save all sentient beings and guide all spirits is a way to escape from the sea of ​​suffering and lead directly to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.”

"Namo Amu Tara Samak Sambodhi." Purdue Chan Master Shang Jianyao followed Low and announced the Buddha's name.

Jing Nian took a deep look at him and said:

"Do you have any other questions?"

Jiang Baimian thought about it, and asked in a serious tone:

"Will the monks contract 'heartless disease'?"

With a flash of red light, it fell into stagnation again, and Jing Nian answered after a while:

"meeting.

"Although we have abandoned our physical skins, we will still experience all kinds of pain when we are trapped in the sea of ​​mortal suffering. Only by attaining the fruition status and entering the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss can we achieve true transcendence."

While Jiang Baimian nodded his head, he stopped Shang Jianyao from saying something like "You mechanical monks are not as intelligent as Laoge and the others".

She sighed and said:

"That's about all our questions, what do you want to ask, Zen master?"

Jing Nian had already made a draft and asked directly:

"Are you sure the 'new world' exists?"

Co-author, you are not so confident in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss? Long Yue, who was in the audience, slandered.

Jiang Baimian replied sincerely:

"Yes, we have dealt with the strong who entered the 'New World', and we have also seen the nodes connecting the 'New World'."

When have we dealt with the "new world" powerhouses? The only "New World" powerhouse we've ever met is Yan Hu... Uh, is the "Doctor" who is scared to death counts as dealing with each other? Hearing this, Long Yuehong muttered.

"Someone entered the 'New World'? Since they are already in the 'New World', how did you communicate with them?" Xu Liyan blurted out a series of questions.

This is enough to show his astonishment, surprise, shock and curiosity.

"It's not that they can't come back." Shang Jianyao looked like it didn't matter at all, "We have met the returning 'New World' powerhouse.

"Can you return?" The mechanical monk Jing Nian made a puzzled voice.

Jiang Baimian keenly captured this:

"Zen master, you 'monk sect' don't have high monks who have attained the fruition status and entered the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss?"

She initially confirmed that the Pure Land of Bliss in the mouth of the "Monk Order" is equal to the "new world" in the realm of awakening.

"Yes." Jing Nian replied with red light flashing in his eyes, "but their bodies have stopped running, and no one has returned."

"There is a certain difference between 'eternal people' and ordinary people?" Bai Chen didn't quite understand this.

For the "new world", "eternal people" also belong to a relatively special type? Jiang Baimian thought for a moment and said:

"It is not a secret that the powerhouses of the 'New World' can return at the top of the major forces."

Jing Nian was silent for a while before asking:

"You said before that 'Wuxin' comes from Bliss, 'New World', what evidence is there?"

Jiang Baimian immediately replied:

"There is a certain chain of evidence.

"We once met a 'New World' powerhouse who was sleeping and could not return. If he stayed by his side for a long time, he would suffer from 'heartless disease', which caused the downfall of a town...

"We confirmed from other sources that the same phenomenon exists within a certain range of a 'New World' powerhouse like this...

"A certain high-level person in the 'Salvation Army' told us that the strong in the 'New World' can artificially create 'innocence'...

"Some of our friends became 'intentional ones' after being attacked by the 'New World' powerhouses...

"A lot of 'New World' nodes will have abnormalities similar to those caused by awakening abilities, and after a long time, if humans fail to stay away from that node, there is a high probability that they will suffer from 'innocence'..."

Jiang Baimian said very vaguely, without mentioning specific people and things.

The last one is the conclusion drawn from the shadow of the cruise ship.

The mechanical monk Jing Nian listened quietly and did not speak, while Xu Liyan was stunned, amazed that these people had gone through so many high-level things and survived.

"Namo Amu Tara Samak Sambodhi." After more than ten seconds, Jing Nian proclaimed the Buddha's slogan, "I have no problem."

When Shang Jianyao saw this, he turned his wrist and glanced at his watch.

Then, he smiled at Xu Liyan and said:

"Is it time for lunch?"

Xu Liyan squeezed out a smile:

"I have ordered the chef to add dishes~www.readwn.com~ when the "Old Tune Group" came in.

…………

After eating and drinking, after leaving the City Lord's Mansion, the "Old Tune Team" took Xu Liyan's warrant, drove a jeep, and wandered around the alleys of North Street, hoping that the induction area for businessmen could cover every corner.

I don't know how long it took, Shang Jianyao opened his half-closed eyes and said in disappointment:

"There is no 'new world' node."

Weed City has no nodes connected to the "New World".

So where did the "innocence" here come from? Could it be the "fluctuation theory" that I guessed before, and the "innocence" brought about by the return of the "New World" powerhouse will not be limited to one place? Jiang Baimian and others flashed these two questions in their minds at the same time.
