Sitting in the office, Zhang Shouquan fell into silence.
After confirming that Xuanzang was indeed related to Chaofan, the Xunzhou Bureau dispatched a large number of forces to various places to recover Xuanzang's body and relics.
After all, no one knows whether there are any mysteries in the body relics left by the extraordinary person Xuanzang.
But now a problem has arisen.
The relics of Xuanzang's body, which were scattered all over the world, seem to have disappeared.
Leaving aside the relics of Xuanzang's body in other countries, all the temples in China that enshrined the relics of Xuanzang's body were quickly controlled by the Xunzhou Bureau.
Therefore, Xun Zhouju can be said to have witnessed the process of the disappearance of these corpse relics with his own eyes.
After extensive investigations in the surrounding area, no suspicious persons were found, and it can be basically confirmed that Xuanzang's body relics disappeared out of thin air.
This news caused the entire Xunzhou Bureau to fall into silence.
It is most likely that Yong Zhou took action.
The only person or organization that could do such a deceptive act and have some connection with Xuanzang's body and relics is Yong Zhou.
This made Zhang Shouquan give up the idea of studying Xuanzang's body relics.
They had already benefited from Xuanzang and Yongzhou and obtained a set of extraordinary practice system that could be popularized. It would be a bad idea to think about studying other people's corpses and relics.
This is a good time to stop thinking about it.
However, the Xun Zhou Bureau is now in some trouble.
The last moment, he was still happy because the Indian investigation team discovered the symbol of eternal daylight that appeared in the cultural relics.
At this moment, we have to think hard about how to negotiate with the Indian authorities about the missing body and relics of Xuanzang.
Both countries are developing countries, the world's most populous countries and neighboring countries, and their relationship is accompanied by a lot of conflicts and cooperation.
He needs to figure out how to negotiate with Indian officials about this incident.
Nothing will go wrong with the investigation team sent to India.
After all, the disappearance of Xuanzang's body and relics had nothing to do with them at all.
Moreover, the investigation team has the support of the Xunzhou Bureau and has great support from China.
But a period of house arrest is inevitable.
In silence, Zhang Shouquan looked at the other documents on the table.
In addition to the following major matters, including [continuing to deal with the aftermath of the Minai Island incident, investigating the box engraved with the symbol of Eternal Daylight, and secretly promoting the spiritual practice system], he is extremely busy at this stage and has no time to rest at all.
………………………………
While Zhang Shouquan was having a headache about how to rescue the investigation team.
Chen Sheng and his companions, who have now added one more person, have arrived in India.
After returning to the headquarters through the secret door and asking John, the South Asia branch director, to open a secret door, the four of them walked out of the South Asia branch built in southern India.
On the night that Xuanzang was fished out of the ocean of spiritual rules, the three men and one demon appeared outside the ruins of Nalanda Temple in India.
If no other supernatural powers are used to travel, the journey time will not exceed half a day.
The archaeologists who worked on the Nalanda site, which has already excavated 150,000 square meters, have all returned to their homes.
The sign that read "Archaeological excavation base ahead, please proceed with caution" was completely ignored by Chen and his group.
The many cameras operating at the archaeological site seemed to have lost their function at this moment and were completely unable to record the appearance of this group of people.
It was late at night.
The silvery crescent moon hooks the past.
The night is too long, and it turns into an indelible frost in my heart.
Bai Jingjing pushed the wheelchair and followed her senior brother and master without saying a word.
Bai Yu in the wheelchair also fell silent.
She was full of curiosity and should have asked countless questions about Xuanzang's existence and appearance, but at this moment she just stayed in the wheelchair silently.
Because she was not stupid, she could clearly feel that after the Master said "go to India", the atmosphere in the entire team suddenly became quiet.
She didn't know why the leader and Master Xuanzang were so depressed because of what they were thinking about, and she realized that she shouldn't make a sound to disturb them at this moment.
Not long after, Chen Sheng and Xuanzang stopped.
Looking at the ruins of Nalanda Temple covered with dust at my feet.
The two people, who had both actually stayed in Nalanda Temple for a period of time, were silent for a long time.
They came here, naturally, to mourn the monk Jiexian.
"I had a very long dream."
"With only a trace of consciousness left immersed in the ocean of spiritual rules, I have been repeating a familiar cycle."
"Become a disciple, learn, be chivalrous, go west to seek Dharma, meet the second master, learn, inherit the seal, go east to spread Dharma, pass away..."
“And this is where the dream begins.”
Not long after, Xuanzang suddenly spoke.
He had been thinking about how to save all living beings and improve Buddhism since he was a child, and he finally accomplished his mission of saving the world without anyone knowing.
Hearing this, complex thoughts flashed through Chen Sheng's eyes.
Not only was Xuanzang trapped in a long period of spiritual ignorance in the ocean of spiritual rules, but Master Jiexian of Nalanda Temple was even tortured by the monster's vitality until he passed away.
This time, the erosion of the abyss across time and space has brought too much pain.
Looking at the land beneath your feet, you can see the ruins of Nalanda Temple buried deep in the endless dust.
Mr. Chen felt as if his memory had gone back to the time when he first met Master Jiexian.
At that time, he always watched the pilgrims coming to Nalanda Temple to worship in the early morning, while chatting with Master Jiexian who was silently reading the Buddhist scriptures beside him.
From Buddhist scriptures to the extraordinary, from daily necessities to the change of dynasties...
The more familiar they were with him, the more he could feel Master Jiexian's pain.
Although Master Jiexian could seal the monster's vitality in his body for thirty years after perfecting his spiritual practice system, it did not mean that there was no pain. The monster's vitality was always resisting in his body, and the power of the abyss was constantly eroding him.
Master Jiexian is using his life as a container to seal the monster, saving Chen Sheng the energy to find other ways to escape.
Although Mr. Chen later went to the East and found the greatest star in Buddhism at that time for Master Jiexian.
But Mr. Chen still felt that he was indeed sorry to Master Jiexian.
Although Master Jiexian said, "Buddha is supposed to save the world and save people, rather than endure the pain, it is better to say that you gave me a chance. A chance to save all sentient beings."
Although it was Master Jiexian who stood up to help him at the beginning.
But Mr. Chen still couldn't help but blame himself for the responsibility.
If he hadn't made reckless moves and wasted his strength, if he had been stronger... perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way.
Since he got the system, everything has been going smoothly. That was the first time he suffered a setback, being tricked by the Abyss, and indirectly causing a great monk in history to bear some of the costs for him.
Now, Xuanzang has been rescued.
But Master Jiexian will never come back.
Correspondingly, many members of the Fourth Generation Eternal Day also suffered losses in the incident on Mina Island because Chen Sheng had not returned yet.
All of this was deeply engraved in Chen Sheng's mind.
In his heart, he had already silently kept a record of the abyss, waiting for an opportunity to settle accounts.
In his heart, there was also a firm idea that continued to grow: one day, he would embark on an expedition and counterattack against the abyss!
No matter how far away that day is, he will continue to move forward on this path.
"The master in my dream is always there."
"Master, but now that I've woken up from the dream, why hasn't the master come back yet?"
Master Xuanzang asked.
He couldn't help but feel a little tearful in his words.
This Tang Monk, who never shed tears easily, could not help but shed tears when he stood on the ruins of Nalanda Temple after more than a thousand years.
If we say that Master Chen Sheng led him into the door of a new world and accompanied him throughout his adolescence and youth, he taught him to have the courage to say no to everything.
Then his master, Venerable Jiexian, was his mentor in the field of Buddhism and in life. He taught him what responsibility is and always led him out of confusion when he missed his master.
But now, when the master woke him up after a thousand years of sleep, he found that the master no longer existed in the world outside the dream.
Clearly, he had taken away the vitality of a large group of monsters back then, but his master, Master Jiexian, apparently did not survive in the end.
The story of all this begins at Nalanda Temple.
It was a dream of a young man who never stopped pursuing his ambitions.
It was a dream that I had repeated countless times but was too scared to wake up from. Because of the trace of consciousness that was obscured in the ocean of spiritual rules, I was afraid that I would never see my master again after waking up from the dream.
This dream has happiness, sadness, encounters, and separations...
Finally, the dream ended where it began - Nalanda Temple.
Nalanda means the giving of fearlessness.
It refers to using one's own internal and external wealth, knowledge, wisdom, and words to comfort others when they are in distress, soothing their hearts, making them physically and mentally stable and freeing them from fear.
But at this moment Xuanzang discovered.
He had spent his whole life learning how to comfort other people, but now he was trying to comfort himself.
Looking at his evil disciple who once used to tease him happily, he was now standing on the ruins of Nalanda Temple and sobbing quietly.
Mr. Chen said slowly: "The dream is over, and the next step is a new journey."
Stroking Xuanzang's smooth head, Chen Sheng's tone was more serious than ever before: "One day, we will crush the abyss bit by bit."
"Before I abdicate, I will definitely launch an expedition and counterattack against the Abyss!"
Mr. Chen's eyes were filled with strange emotions.
He will never forget this grudge! The Earth Alliance and the Eternal Day's cavalry will trample the Abyss hard.
The scorching sun of the Fusang tree will burn away all the impurities from the abyss.
The successive human stars will shine in the long river of history of the other world.
Xuanzang looked at his serious master and nodded slowly and firmly.
He never doubted the Master's words.
Looking at the place where his master Master Jiexian once lived, Xuanzang had calmed down a lot, although he had not completely let it go.
"Yes, Master."
"I have followed your instructions to pass down the spiritual practice method."
"I hid some incomplete core methods in my many works, and then left a complete method of practice at my burial place that can only be triggered by those who have learned the method of spiritual practice."
It seems that this can help me not focus on sad things.
Hearing this, Mr. Chen nodded to show that he understood.
He believed in Xuanzang and believed that he had fulfilled all his instructions.
"However, the monster's vitality has not been completely destroyed."
"I gave those three strands of vitality from the monkey, boar, and catfish-like monsters whose edges had been smoothed to my master so that he could take care of them and enjoy his old age."
Xuanzang said this and pointed to the ground not far away.
He had already sensed that the wooden box that his master had given him was now buried somewhere in the ruins of Nalanda.
There are three kinds of monsters in the form of monkeys, wild boars and catfish. Their vitality has not been destroyed. I wonder if they are still intact after more than a thousand years.
However, thinking about the monster's powerful recovery ability, Xuanzang felt that the monster in the wooden box might still be intact.
Hearing this, Mr. Chen also nodded.
Naturally, he discovered the wooden box when he came here.
After all, it was a magical weapon he had made with his own hands.
That wooden box was made by him and Master Jiexian together. Its purpose was to help him seal the life of escaped monsters and minimize the consumption of seals to maintain the life of captured monsters.
As he was thinking, Mr. Chen waved his hand.
The soil in the distance began to peel off layer by layer, gradually revealing the former Nalanda Temple beneath the soil.
Soon, a wooden box buried under the soil appeared.
The people present were not ordinary people, so naturally they all saw the wooden box from afar.
Bai Yu, who had never dared to interrupt the conversation between the leader and Master Xuanzang, couldn't help but widen his eyes as he looked at the wooden box.
If carved railings and jade bricks are generally used to describe buildings, then this small wooden box the size of a palm can also be described with this word.
The various carvings on the wooden box are lifelike and look quite charming.
Just the simple coloring makes people feel as if it is really inlaid with jade.
Such a sense of luxury made Bai Yu, who was already knowledgeable before joining Yongzhou, couldn't help but be surprised.
The next moment, the wooden box appeared in Chen Sheng's hand.
The white jade can also be observed closely, and the charm of the various carvings on the wooden box can be felt more deeply, which is simply a masterpiece of nature.
On the front of the wooden box, there is a central symbol of the eternal daytime sun, and on the back is a line of words written in Sanskrit: Only consciousness has no boundaries.
Before she could take a closer look, she saw the wooden box suddenly tremble a few times.
Then there was a sudden earth-shattering roar.
The roars of monkeys, wild boars, and catfish shook the sky, and the surrounding city, where most of the lights had been turned off, suddenly lit up with a large area of light.
A vicious aura emerged from the wooden box.
"After such a long time, the power of the spiritual practice system engraved on the wooden box has become somewhat weak."
"But there is no sign of the monster's vitality being wiped out. The monster sent by the abyss is indeed very capable. Its recovery ability is comparable to the immortality of a true god."
Xuanzang nodded and judged on the side, without any sign of panic.
Even though the monster in the wooden box looked like it was about to come out, Xuanzang was completely unmoved.
He was restored to his full demigod state by his master, and he knew all about these three monsters, which were not even at level one in strength.
In this case, what is there to be afraid of? As for Bai Yu, he did not feel any fear at all.
The leader was right in front of her, and the wooden box was in the leader's hand. What monsters could turn the world upside down? She felt that with the leader around, she wouldn't have to worry even if a nuclear bomb exploded on her face.
However, she had a question that she couldn't help but ask: "Leader, isn't this a bit too much noise?"
The huge roar probably woke up everyone in the nearby city from their sleep.
"It's okay, I did it on purpose."
Mr. Chen looked at Bai Yu and answered.
Hearing this, Bai Yu nodded.
Indeed, with the leader's boundless power, how could he make such a low-level mistake?
Bai Yu firmly believed that since the leader did this, there must be a reason for it.
Could it be that this big commotion was meant to leave the wooden box to someone else? Based on what Xuanzang said about leaving behind a spiritual practice system for the world, Bai Yu had this guess about the leader's behavior.
Perhaps, it is not just a wish to gift spiritual practice to the world?
"Next, leave it to the destined person."
Mr. Chen said this with a smile.
A powerful force began to perfect the formation on the wooden box, repairing the seal of the spiritual practice method that had been damaged over the past thousand years.
The turned-over layers of soil were also restored to their original appearance one by one by him, and the magical power of the spiritual technique ensured that no one would be able to tell that the soil here had been disturbed.
Then, he threw the wooden box casually on the ground.
There is still a long way to go to resist the abyss.
In addition to Yongri's own strength, it is time to build up the strength of the Earth Alliance Army.
This wooden box was also a gift from him.
After doing all this, Chen Sheng looked at Xuanzang and said, "Let's go. We just passed by the headquarters in a hurry."
"Now I'll take you back to get to know you better."
“There, we begin our new journey.”
As soon as the words fell, several people left here through the secret door.
………………………………
The loud roars of wild beasts echoed.
Huang Meilin, who was soundly sleeping, opened her eyes wide in shock.
She looked around with a confused look.
I saw that everyone in the investigation team had woken up and was looking seriously through the window in the direction of the Nalanda ruins.
Even the members of the field team were fully armed and equipped.
"What happened? What was that loud noise just now?"
“Did the Indian authorities suddenly take action?”
Huang Meilin asked subconsciously.
She was suddenly awakened by the loud noise when she just fell asleep. She was really confused for a moment. She didn't even hear the specific sound, she just knew that the sound that woke her up was very loud.
So, she subconsciously began to doubt the Indian officials.
After all, they are now secretly controlled by a group of Indian officials.
Could it be that... when she was asleep just now, the Indian authorities threw a stun bomb in?
“The sound came from the direction of the ruins of Nalanda Temple.”
"It sounds like a beast's roar, but how could a beast's roar wake up half of the sleeping city?"
The field team leader said this, a hint of confusion slowly flashing across his eyes.
Looking out the window with a frown, they could see from their height that most of the city had its lights on, apparently woken up by the loud noise.
Because Xuanzang's body and relics went missing near the end of the afternoon, he, as a member of the field team, immediately came back to protect his comrades and try to ensure that nothing went wrong for everyone.
And late at night, he and several members of the field team took turns to keep watch.
So compared to his colleagues who were woken up, he knew what happened particularly clearly.
Those were some roars of beasts.
As a child, he learned hunting from his father in the mountains of his hometown. He felt that these roars were somewhat like those of monkeys and wild boars.
But the sound was so loud that he was not sure for a moment.
"It sounds like a supernatural event, and it is related to Nalanda again."
Huang Meilin said this subconsciously after listening to the explanation of the field team leader.
It's hard not to make associations.
The Nalanda ruins were originally related to the extraordinary, and now there is a loud noise...
Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but look at each other.
Their mission is to come to India to investigate all suspicious events and records related to Xuanzang, and at the same time cooperate with the diplomatic team to try to retrieve Xuanzang's body and relics.
The loud noise that suddenly appeared in the direction of the Nalanda ruins was consistent with the direction of their investigation.
Looks like I have to take a trip!
After a moment of silence, the field team leader said, "Then I'll go investigate."
"Because Xuanzang's body and relics are missing, there is now surveillance by the Indian authorities. Although it is not that strict, too many people still cannot avoid them."
"I can take advantage of the noise now to try to avoid those eyes and go to the ruins of Nalanda by myself."
As he spoke, the field team leader glanced at several of his team members, and the several members of the field team who were eager to try also quieted down after hearing his words.
His words made everyone around him fall silent.
Indeed, they are now under surveillance, and it would be difficult to act if there are too many people.
Taking advantage of the commotion caused by the loud noise, it is already the limit for the field team leader to get out alone.
After all, the Indian officials supervising nearby are not there to do anything for nothing.
"With such a big commotion, the Indian authorities should also send people there to investigate."
"Remember to be careful not to cause a conflict. If you don't have time to investigate before them, don't force it. The most important thing is to pay attention to your own safety."
Huang Meilin, who is the head of the internal affairs team and the nominal commander of the entire investigation team, spoke so seriously to the head of the external affairs team.
She is not an expert in special operations, so naturally she won't give too many instructions.
But all she could do was to ask the field team leader to do things within his capabilities.
Although the country is eager to know more information about the extraordinary and eternal day, it does not need to pay the price of meaningless sacrifice.
