It is located in Duqu Street, Chang'an District, Xi'an City, SX Province, on the banks of Shaolingyuan, about 20 kilometers south of the city.
This is the final resting place of Master Xuanzang, a famous Tang Dynasty translator, traveler and Buddhist scholar.
Therefore, having learned the strategy of seeking extraordinary powers from Xuanzang's classics and quotations, the first stop at this moment is naturally the Xingjiao Temple, trying to find more special things.
To get to Xingjiao Temple, you can take bus No. 917 from Xi'an TV Tower and get off at Xingjiao Temple. Or you can drive to Huayan Temple and continue south. At the Y-shaped intersection, turn left and you will see the Xingjiao Temple sign.
Huairen and many of his colleagues from Xunzhou Bureau naturally drove to Xingjiao Temple.
A total of three ordinary black cars slowly drove towards the Xingjiao Temple. They looked ordinary and very low-key.
This was the third day after discovering that Huairen had acquired extraordinary powers. Zhang Shouquan had returned to the Xunzhou Bureau headquarters and accompanied Huairen and others to Xingjiao Temple.
After learning that Huairen had acquired extraordinary powers, Zhang Shouquan subconsciously forgot everything he had experienced previously on Mui Ne Island.
After hurriedly returning to the Xunzhou Bureau headquarters that day, the first thing he did was to look at the research data produced by scientists on Huairen's strength performance, and then classified the data as top secret.
Then he quickly assisted Huairen in sorting out the general content of the practice system left by Xuanzang, and blocked and controlled the channels containing this information.
After taking a series of confidentiality measures, Zhang Shouquan brought a group of professionals and Huairen to Xingjiao Temple in XA City, SX Province.
Most people were silent along the way.
Zhang Shouquan, who was in the same car with Huairen, couldn't help but stare at Huairen with gleaming eyes.
Huairen looked at Zhang Shouquan helplessly. The burning gaze he had been looking at all the way along the way was really unbearable for him.
He subconsciously shrank to the side.
Zhang Shouquan's eyes were still burning with a series of thoughts and ideas in his mind, which had not stopped after he came back and confirmed that he had really learned the extraordinary power.
He had looked at that series of research data.
In addition to the greatly improved perception abilities of Huairen's eyes and nose, his overall physical fitness and mental strength have also increased to a certain extent.
According to Huairen himself, this power system is very complete. The first five levels greatly enhance the senses of eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, etc., and at the same time improve a certain degree of physical fitness and mental strength.
After completing the first five levels, one will have an extraordinary spiritual perception ability, and the subsequent levels will be even deeper and more powerful levels and abilities.
This kind of practice that has a traceable method, this kind of extraordinary power that can be cultivated step by step, is of great significance to the country.
That's why Zhang Shouquan was so excited.
This means that the country can officially open and access the extraordinary power system, which is likely to be ahead of all other countries.
It can even be said that its progress in the supernatural has surpassed Europa.
After all, there was only one person in Europa who had extraordinary powers, and because he had inherited Thor's hammer, it was impossible to increase his power for the time being. However, this was a systematic extraordinary practice system that could be learned on a large scale.
There is no comparison between the two.
It’s a pity that it is quite difficult to cultivate this kind of extraordinary power.
According to Huairen, this is a practice system that focuses on cultivating spiritual strength, which requires practitioners to have strong willpower, an open mind, and preferably have some knowledge of the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.
Such requirements are very complex and strict.
However, from a national perspective, this is not unsatisfactory, and we can still find some qualified talents.
If you don't pursue quality too much and just learn as much as you can, you should be able to find a lot of qualified talents among the second-rate ones.
Most importantly, Huairen said that when he deeply immers himself in the experiences of Master Xuanzang in the Great Tang Records on the Western Regions, he found it easier to practice the spiritual practice system.
Based on this, Zhang Shouquan has already prepared a plan to go west again. In the future, the daily training of Xun Zhouju may be to go west again and deeply experience the state of mind of Master Xuanzang.
Moreover, the country can use the team it has built to maintain the Silk Road as a cover to help the country advance a series of Silk Road plans along the way while not forgetting to train itself.
We don’t ask everyone to cultivate to the level of the fifth, sixth, or seventh consciousness; being able to reach the level of the first consciousness is already very good.
While he was thinking, the convoy stopped in front of Xingjiao Temple.
The place is deserted and empty, and it doesn't look like a tourist attraction.
There was only an old man standing at the gate of the temple.
In order to facilitate the investigation, the Xunzhou Bureau has temporarily notified Xingjiao Temple to suspend its opening to the public until their investigation is completed.
So there are no tourists here at this time, only the abbot of Xingjiao Temple is standing at the door waiting.
"Master Kuanchi!"
After Huairen got off the car, he walked up to the old man familiarly and bowed slightly.
This old man is considered one of the contemporary masters of Buddhism. He holds a series of titles including Deputy Secretary-General of the Buddhist Association of SX Province, Vice President of the Buddhist Association of XA City, Member of the CPPCC of XA City, Vice President and Secretary-General of the Zhongnanshan Buddhist Association of Chang'an District, and Standing Committee Member of the CPPCC of Chang'an District.
When Xun Zhou Bureau had previously invited masters of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, they had also considered this person.
However, at this moment, the most important identity of Master Kuanchi is the abbot of Xingjiao Temple.
"Huairen...what are you planning to do here today?"
"I wonder what I can do?"
Master Kuanchi looked at the familiar faces in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
The Xunzhou Bureau has a high level of authority. It was even able to block off the Taishan scenic area and evacuate the surrounding areas, and naturally asked Xingjiao Temple to suspend business without even needing an explanation.
Therefore, Master Kuanchi only knew that there was an important matter today and Xingjiao Temple needed to be sealed off.
"lead?"
Upon hearing this, Huairen turned to look at Zhang Shouquan, wanting to ask what to say.
Given his relationship with Master Kuanchi, and having listened to Master Kuanchi's teachings many times, he naturally did not want to hide it. However, this matter was top secret information, and as a member of the Xunzhou Bureau, he naturally understood that he could not make a decision at will.
"Master Kuanchi, it is like this..."
Zhang Shouquan didn't think for long before he decisively began to explain the whole story to Master Kuanchi.
Zhang Shouquan is thinking that in the future he will recruit more masters from the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism as well as other mentally strong talents so that more people can learn these extraordinary practice systems.
Among them is the Master Kuanchi.
Therefore, Zhang Shouquan chose to directly tell him the truth about Xun Zhou Bureau's arrival.
The scriptures left by Master Xuanzang contain content that can truly enable people to cultivate extraordinary powers.
Zhang Shouquan said these words calmly.
Upon hearing this, Master Kuanchi, who was usually calm in the face of emergencies, couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
Can the philosophical thinking about the world in Buddhist scriptures actually be used for cultivation?!
Such statements obviously made Master Kuanchi begin to doubt life.
Do you, the highly confidential officials, like to tease the old monk? This statement is simply too...
This truly magical scene put an abrupt end to Master Kuanchi's doubts.
"If you want to investigate, I hope you won't destroy this century-old temple."
As Master Kuanchi said this, he took a step back and slowly pushed open the door of Xingjiao Temple.
Zhang Shouquan nodded seriously upon hearing this.
"Master Kuanchi, please rest assured that on March 4, 1961, Xingjiao Temple was announced by the State Council as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units."
"If any damage is caused, our entire Xunzhou Bureau will have their wages deducted as punishment, and the money will be used to repair the temple."
Zhang Shouquan's tone was very serious, and it sounded very convincing that he would not cause any trouble.
Master Kuanchi smiled, then turned around and led everyone into the temple. As soon as they entered the door, most people brought various observation and recording instruments, dispersed according to the pre-planned route, and investigated and recorded various data in various places in the temple.
A small number of people followed Master Kuanchi to an extremely important place - the Xuanzang Relic Pagoda.
They came here for Xuanzang, to investigate what was so special about Xuanzang, who had left behind an extraordinary system of cultivation.
Therefore, the Xuanzang Relic Pagoda, the burial place of Master Xuanzang, is naturally of paramount importance.
The Xuanzang Pagoda stands in the center of the pagoda courtyard of Xingjiao Temple.
Soon, a group of people arrived here.
There are three pagodas in total located in the Ci'en Pagoda Courtyard of Xingjiao Temple. The tallest one in the middle is the Xuanzang Relic Pagoda built in the second year of the Zongzhang reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty (669).
Xuanzang Pagoda is made of bricks, with a total height of 21 meters, five floors, and a square plane, imitating the style of a pavilion. The side length of the bottom floor is 5.2 meters, and each floor eaves is made of bricks to make a simple bracket. Above the bracket, the "tooth" is built with bevels, and the eaves are stacked on top.
There is a shorter brick pagoda on each side. The one on the west side is the stupa of Kuiji, a disciple of Xuanzang, built in the first year of Yongchun (682) during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty. The one on the east side is the stupa of Wonce, the grandson of the King of Silla, built in the fifth year of Zhenghe (1115) during the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty. Both stupas are similar in form to the Xuanzang Pagoda.
When they arrived here, the remaining small group of people also brought various detection and recording instruments, and began to scientifically analyze the three towers from many angles such as optics, infrared, and sound waves.
As for Zhang Shouquan, he stood in front of the three pagodas with Huairen and Master Kuanchi for a long time in silence.
Master Kuanchi lowered his head silently, as if he was reciting some Buddhist scriptures.
Zhang Shouquan was chatting with Huairen.
"Master Xuanzang must be an extraordinary person to have left behind such an extraordinary practice system."
"But we can't expect anything to come out of our investigation here."
"After all, although this is where Master Xuanzang was buried, his body and relics are not here now."
Zhang Shouquan analyzed in a calm tone.
"Indeed, but just standing here is meaningful."
Huairen looked at the Xuanzang Relic Pagoda, feeling the extraordinary power in his body, and couldn't help but felt deeply moved.
"As for those pieces of corpse relics, I have already sent people from the Xun Zhou Bureau to try to retrieve them."
Having said this, Zhang Shouquan couldn't help but pause.
The relics of Master Xuanzang's body are of such great commemorative significance that they have been divided into too many parts and are now enshrined in temples in different places.
Jinling, Beijing, Guangzhou, Taiwan, and even India and Japan... Master Xuanzang's body and relics were scattered in the temples in these places.
The body relics enshrined in domestic temples can be collected quickly and studied to see if there is anything special about them.
As for the body relics scattered in India and Japan, they are a little troublesome and not so easy to retrieve.
The body relics of Xuanzang from India were brought back to the ruins of Nalanda Temple where Xuanzang once studied, and were exhibited together with the ruins of Nalanda Temple.
In response to this, Zhang Shouquan planned to send a team to negotiate, and at the same time start some investigations at the Nalanda Temple ruins.
That was the place where Xuanzang once studied and the end of his journey to the West.
For Zhang Shouquan and others, there must be something special about the journey to the West that Xuanzang, who was now shrouded in a layer of extraordinary veil, had once determined to undertake. This Nalanda Temple is well worth investigating.
Therefore, Zhang Shouquan has already sent a professional team to India to negotiate and try to retrieve the body and relics while investigating the Nalanda Temple.
As for the corpse relics left in Japan, we need to put in a little more effort.
Japan also has a profound Buddhist background and has an extraordinary admiration for Master Xuanzang. They will definitely not agree to China's negotiations.
Perhaps, some special means are needed to retrieve the body relics, and perhaps some other things can be brought back in the process...
Zhang Shouquan was thinking, but he found that Huairen beside him was standing in front of Xuanzang's stupa at some point.
I saw Huairen stroking the tower carefully, with a gleam in his eyes.
"Leader, I feel it..."
Huairen had a shocked look on his face. He stroked the Xuanzang stupa in front of him and was saying something.
Seeing this, everyone around looked at Huairen.
Zhang Shouquan also stopped thinking and looked at Huairen seriously: "What did you suddenly feel?"
"This is a power far beyond my own."
Huairen murmured.
In his newly awakened extraordinary perception, he suddenly discovered that a force had emerged inside the Xuanzang Relic Pagoda.
This power is similar to the extraordinary power he had just learned, but it is much more powerful and majestic.
Without waiting for him to continue sensing.
The Xuanzang stupa suddenly shook, and words with golden light gradually appeared on its surface.
After just reading a few sentences, Huairen realized that this was a more complete and clear system of spiritual practice, which was more organized than the spiritual practice system he summarized from the few words in Xuanzang's classics.
Obviously, this is the original text of the spiritual practice system.
After recovering from the shock, he was just about to ask Zhang Shouquan and others to write down these words.
But Zhang Shouquan was already playing back the video to check whether there were any errors in the recording of the text.
Obviously, Zhang Shouquan had already thought of the need to record these contents.
Seeing this, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to carefully read the original text of this spiritual practice system.
The more I read, the more new insights I gain.
So that's it! So that's it! Huairen showed a satisfied smile on his face.
Great! He felt like he was starting to understand everything.
