There is a large cauldron more than ten meters high in an ancient tomb that is hundreds of thousands of years old. There are some cherished elixirs in the cauldron. Unfortunately, these elixirs have expired and turned into powder when touched. This is definitely a piece of cake.

Something that makes people sigh.

The elixir is gone, so we can only focus on the cauldron.

After studying for a while, Ma Xiaoyao and Gu Li suspected that this big cauldron was a magic weapon, or even a spiritual treasure! Because this big cauldron looked so extraordinary.

"But... I can't feel the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy on the cauldron?" Ma Xiaoyao frowned. If it is a magic weapon or a spiritual treasure, it will have spiritual energy on it. The richer the spiritual energy, the higher the level.

But now...he can't feel any spiritual energy.

It stands to reason that at Ma Xiaoyao's level of cultivation, there are very few things that can be hidden from his eyes!

"Perhaps... this cauldron has been damaged." Gu Li guessed.

"Damaged?" Ma Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows: "This cauldron looks very complete."

"I'm talking about internal damage." Gu Li said, "Internal damage cannot be seen."

"Oh... it's possible as you said." Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Let's put this cauldron away first and study it slowly when we have time later." At this point, Ma Xiaoyao used his magic power.

Put the big cauldron into the storage ring.

"Huh? There's a pattern underneath?" Gu Li was surprised. The cauldron was removed, and a square pattern appeared on the ground. This pattern had been blocked by the cauldron, so they didn't notice it.

Now that the cauldron has been removed, the pattern is exposed.

The pattern is carved with a sharp tool. The stripes are clear and the image is lifelike. People without certain skills cannot draw this kind of pattern.

In the pattern, a giant Buddha is sitting on a lotus, with his hands clasped together, his eyebrows kind and his eyes smiling, and his whole body exudes a peaceful atmosphere.

"This is..." Ma Xiaoyao only took one glance and was deeply attracted.

"This Buddha... is so kind..." Gu Li was also attracted: "I feel... he can see us... he is conscious..."

"Don't talk nonsense." Ma Xiaoyao frowned: "This is just a pattern, how can it be conscious? This is impossible!"

"I really feel it..."

"That's an illusion... uh..." Ma Xiaoyao's expression suddenly changed mid-sentence.

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Li noticed something strange about Ma Xiaoyao.

"The mysterious bead... think about it..." Ma Xiaoyao's expression became very serious: "I must be attracted by this pattern..." Ma Xiaoyao told Gu Li about the mysterious bead a long time ago.

"Then let it come out." Gu Li said: "Don't suppress it anymore. Since it wants to come out, it must have its reason."

"I'm worried...that something unexpected will happen..." Ma Xiaoyao said in a deep voice.

"What's there to worry about?" Gu Li smiled: "Are you afraid that the mysterious beads will abandon you?"

"I can't control it anymore..." Before Ma Xiaoyao could finish his words, a bead appeared from between his eyebrows, a bead with five colors. "Whoa!" As soon as the bead came out, it ran towards the pattern on the ground.

go.

"Pfft!"

The beads directly hit the pattern, or to be precise, hit the Buddha, and then the pattern changed...

"Swish, swish, swish..."

The pattern that had been silent just now suddenly shone brightly, and dazzling rays of light shot out from the pattern, flooding the entire hall. Ma Xiaoyao and Gu Li were also overwhelmed by these rays of light. Originally, they wanted to resist.

For a moment, but as soon as they came into contact with the light, the two of them gave up their resistance, because the light was not offensive in any way, and it shone on them, making them warm and very comfortable.

"How is this going?"

"What happened?"

Both of them looked surprised.

"Let me just say...you can't let the bead come out...it will definitely cause trouble if it comes out..."

"Look, the Buddha is alive..."

"Don't scare me here... Damn... I'm really alive..."

…

Under the illumination of thousands of rays of light, a golden Buddha slowly rises. There is a bead suspended between the Buddha's eyebrows, which is the mysterious bead!

"How many years..." Under the shocked gazes of Ma Xiaoyao and Gu Li, the Buddha spoke. His voice was smooth and loud, and at the same time full of power: "Having been asleep for many years... I didn't expect that one day I would wake up..." At this point

, the Big Buddha lowered his head and looked at Ma Xiaoyao and Gu Li: "Did you wake me up?" Without waiting for the two people to answer, the Big Buddha then asked: "How did you get this prayer bead?"

"Buddha beads? What Buddhist beads?" Ma Xiaoyao didn't understand.

The Buddha stretched out a finger and tapped the beads suspended between his eyebrows: "This is the Buddha bead!"

"It's a Buddhist bead?" Ma Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment.

"What? You don't know?" the Buddha asked in surprise.

Ma Xiaoyao shook his head honestly: "I really don't know its origin!"

"Then how did you get it?" the Buddha continued to ask.

"I got it in an ancient pagoda..." Ma Xiaoyao briefly told the story of getting the beads.

"The ancient pagoda..." A hint of memory appeared in the eyes of the Buddha: "It was actually found in the ancient pagoda... You are lucky... you can actually get the recognition of the Buddhist beads."

"Then what...can I ask...you...who are you?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.

"Me?" the Buddha smiled: "Others call me Buddha."

"Buddha? Tathagata Buddha?" Ma Xiaoyao's eyes suddenly widened.

"Tathagata? No... I am not Tathagata..." The Buddha shook his head: "My name is Light."

"You are not Tathagata Buddha..."

"Tathagata is my junior brother."

"Your junior brother? So, Tathagata Buddha is real?"

The Buddha nodded: "Of course it exists."

"Then... what about now... where is Tathagata Buddha now... and... how did you appear? Have you been hiding in the pattern? And what about the Buddhist beads you mentioned?" Ma Xiaoyao

I asked a lot of questions at once.

"Don't worry, I will answer them for you one by one." The Buddha's temper was quite good: "Let's talk about the whereabouts of Tathagata first... Thousands of years ago, Tathagata went out to travel and then disappeared. Until now, I

I don’t know whether he is alive or dead. Let’s talk about myself! In fact, the me you see is not real, but a ray of Buddha’s light... My real body has been incarnate many years ago.

Before I died, I left a ray of Buddha's light and put my consciousness on it. I did this to leave a hope for Buddhism. I hope that one day, someone will be able to get my guidance and inheritance and be able to

Revitalize Buddhism."

"Senior...you...are you an immortal?"

"Immortal? If I were an immortal, I wouldn't die...I would be a half-immortal at most..."

"Half-immortal? Are there immortals in this world?"

"There should be."

"Is there an immortal?" Ma Xiaoyao's face lit up: "There really is an immortal!"

"I think immortals exist, but I've never seen one." The Buddha said something that made Ma Xiaoyao feel very sad.

"You haven't seen it?" The joy on Ma Xiaoyao's face slowly disappeared: "Since you haven't seen it, why do you think there are immortals in the world?"

"I deduced it." Buddha explained: "I deduced it based on various clues."

"Since seniors believe that immortals exist, why has no one seen them with their own eyes since ancient times?"

"Because these immortals live in another interface, we can't see them."

"Is that really the case?"

"Let me tell you, I almost became an immortal back then, but later I encountered a conspiracy from my enemies, and finally fell short." At this point, the Buddha sighed: "Little brother, if you can get the beads, it means that you have the same relationship with Buddhism.

By fate, I want you to join Buddhism and become a new generation of Buddha! Lead Buddhism to a glorious path again!"

"Join Buddhism?" Ma Xiaoyao shook his head hurriedly: "No, I can't join Buddhism."

"Why?"

"Because I already have a wife..."

"Can you separate from them?"

"This is impossible! I love them very much. Even if I die, I will never be separated from them."

"No room for negotiation?"

"No." Ma Xiaoyao answered firmly.

"What if I exchange this bead with you?" The Buddha pointed at the bead suspended between his eyebrows: "If you are willing to join Buddhism, I will return this bead to you and teach you the supreme wisdom.

Buddhism, as long as you work hard enough, you can become an immortal! If you don't agree, then I will take back this bead."

"You..." Ma Xiaoyao became anxious upon hearing this: "You can't do this!" Since the bead flew to the center of the Buddha's eyebrows, it lost contact with him, which made Ma Xiaoyao very anxious.
