I don’t know when or where it came from, but a message suddenly spread in the spiritual world.
"There is a thousand-year-old relic hidden somewhere in Yingnan County, Yihe City."
This unconfirmed information did not attract much attention at first, but as more and more practitioners poured into Yingnan County, this information was forced to become a topic of discussion for everyone.
As Yu Xiaolong, who lives in Yingnan County, he originally scoffed at this and thought it was just another boring rumor.
However, many friends from out of town called him to consult him. Divine Assistant even sent people to his door to inquire about the news. Yu Xiaolong had to start paying attention to this issue.
To be cautious, Liu Mingqiang went back to Mount Emei to consult with his master, Abbot Shiyun, who directly denied the information and told him to concentrate on his practice and not to participate in these folk rumors.
Yu Xiaolong also made a special trip to Maoshan, and Master Fan Qing only left four words: Make something out of nothing.
After consulting many experts, the answer I got was that the rumors were not credible.
However, as more and more practitioners entered Yingnan County, many people who did not believe began to waver.
The Eight Divisions of Yihe City were forced to deploy many police forces to maintain order and patiently persuade them to return.
But almost no one left. Instead, they thought that the Eighth Office was covering up the truth and did not want the relics to spread.
In view of the increasingly serious development of the situation, in order to maintain a stable social order in Yingnan County, Yihe City, and to investigate where this rumor came from.
After the Eighth Bureau reported it to their superiors, they conducted a detailed investigation, but the originator of the rumor was never found.
Taking into account the overall situation, the Eighth Office of Yihe City finally announced through the official platform that the person involved had been found. The information that "Yingnan County has a thousand-year-old relic" was casually fabricated by the person while chatting with friends after drinking. It was completely a rumor.
However, this kind of information did not convince everyone. Instead, it strengthened the idea of the relevant departments to cover up the truth and keep the treasure for themselves.
Soon, the usefulness of the thousand-year-old relic spread among the society, saying that it can repel all kinds of poisons and can protect the Taoist body. It also has great benefits in practice.
Seeing the uneasy Yu Xiaolong, Wan Yanfeng asked: "Brother Yu, you don't believe this, do you?"
"Ah...uh...this...it's better to believe that it is true than to believe that it is nothing. Since so many people have come and the commotion is so big, what if it is true?" Yu Xiaolong held his chin and thought.
"You didn't believe such rumors before. What's going on now? Are you just too greedy for money? You want good things when you have them?" Wan Yanfeng looked at him with disdain.
Before Xiaolong could say anything, Zhou Kai said with a smile: "Who has a grudge against the money? Who has a grudge against the baby? If it is true, wouldn't it be great if we got it? Even if it is fake, That doesn’t matter, you don’t lose anything.”
Ying Kongxiu said: "How good is this thousand-year-old relic? Does Ayun know its efficacy?"
Soon, Xie Tianyun was found by Zhao Dayu and briefly described the matter to him.
Xie Tianyun's eyes lit up and he said, "Why don't you go find such a good thing quickly? What are you waiting for?"
The friends didn't expect Ta to say that. Everyone thought he was dismissive of it, but they didn't expect the reverse.
"Isn't it? Ayun, I remember you were not this kind of person before." Ying Kongxiu looked at him doubtfully.
"Huh? Why don't you want something good? Thousand-year-old relics. I don't know the details, but that kind of thing can definitely repel hundreds of poisons! It's not a hundred poisons. Most of the poisons in the current practice world can be dealt with! And since It's a relic, so it must contain huge energy. Practitioners can get this kind of thing, but they have to work hard for many years! Don't you want it? Don't give it to me!" Xie Tianyun blinked.
Zhou Kai patted him on the shoulder, nodded and praised: "Okay, okay, this is the normal Brother Yun!"
Yu Xiaolong chuckled and asked, "Ayun, does the thousand-year-old relic exist?"
"Of course!"
Xie Tianyun explained: "After the obtained eminent monk Zai passed away, the cremated remains may turn into a spherical substance, which is what we call relics. As for the thousand-year-old relics, that is also very possible ~ the eminent monks from thousands of years ago, Although it is extremely rare, it is not impossible. I believe Ming Qiang understands this better."
Everyone looked at Liu Mingqiang, who nodded slowly and said, "Relics are worshiped as sacred objects and will not be used by someone for other purposes. Of course, it is hard to say. Someone may have obtained the relics. There will be selfishness, this is entirely up to the other party."
"Well, in that case, the thousand-year-old relic may also exist." Yu Xiaolong nodded.
Wan Yanfeng said: "Did you know that Yingnan County exists?"
Ying Kongxiu stroked her long hair and said slowly: "I guess... our leader may have to do something difficult."
"It's right to toss! You may not know if you don't do it, but you won't know it if you don't do it! It's reasonable to toss! I agree! Xiaolong, tell me, how should we do it?" Zhou Kai rubbed his hands excitedly.
"I don't have an idea yet...I don't know what to do." Yu Xiaolong said with a bitter smile.
"Hey! It would be great if Blind Sun was here, then Lao Bangzi has an idea." Zhou Kai blurted out.
As soon as the words fell, everyone remained silent with gloomy faces.
Zhou Kai knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he covered his mouth and ran out.
After a brief moment of embarrassment, Wan Yanfeng broke the silence and said, "Brother Yu, please don't bother me. I'm afraid of you."
Yu Xiaolong nodded thoughtfully and murmured: "Let's find out more before talking. There's no rush."
The entire Yingnan County seemed to be at peak tourist season, with foreigners everywhere.
People who don't know why are confused. Yingnan County is not a tourist place in the first place. There have never been so many outsiders here.
But what happened recently?
Each practitioner used his or her own treasure-hunting abilities to search in various possible places.
Yu Xiaolong had no clue at all. He didn't know where to start, or even whether he should get involved.
But the rumor of the Thousand-year-old Relic is so tempting, and it is becoming more and more true. Even Wanyanfeng, who strongly opposed it, began to waver.
When he was bored, Yu Xiaolong came to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha in Yingnan County and found the abbot Qingfeng.
"Master, how are you doing lately?" Yu Xiaolong saluted politely.
Host Qingfeng smiled and said: "The donor has not come for many years. There must be something going on this time, right? Let me guess, is it for the thousand-year relic?"
Yu Xiaolong giggled, scratched his head and said: "The master is indeed a master, you can guess this."
"Amitabha...there are no thousand-year-old relics here. It's just a rumor. The donor is so smart, why did he become a profiteer?" Qingfeng presided over clasped his hands.
"I am not a person seeking profit. If it is true, I will keep it well if I find it and won't do anything messy. Please rest assured, master." Yu Xiaolong explained.
"Everyone speaks like this in their daily lives, but no matter how huge the benefits are, they will change their original intentions. Human beings are originally good by nature... It's a pity that there are too many temptations in the world that make people forget everything. Amitabha... sins are sins." Host Qingfeng said calmly. .
Yu Xiaolong originally wanted to inquire about some information, but unexpectedly he was educated by the other party.
He felt a little unhappy, but he couldn't say anything. He could only ask, "Since it's a rumor, why do so many people believe it?"
Host Qingfeng shook his head and said, "The poor monk just said that in the face of huge interests, people will only make their minds confused, and in the end it will be nothing."
Yu Xiaolong pursed his lips and said helplessly: "Okay."
Host Qingfeng opened his eyes and looked at the other party, and said calmly: "Donors should not believe in rumors and stick to their original intentions. However, rumors may not all be rumors, Amitabha."
