Embers Ad Infinitum

　　 As soon as they saw this tall and bizarre "robot", Shang Jian Yao and Long Yuehong's hearts twitched at the same time. Every pore on the body surface involuntarily closed, and the hairs stood up instantly.

　　 At this moment, the same noun flashed in their minds:

　　 "Monks of the Order of Monks!"

　　 This is a very dangerous creature on the dust. He also has a name:

　　 "Eternal Life"!

　　According to the description of the internal teaching material of "Pangu Biology", before the destruction of the old world, mankind had made breakthrough progress in certain fields of science and technology. Among them, the most outstanding and most admirable and yearning was "consciousness upload".

This technology can upload human consciousness to a specially designed robot bionic chip through special equipment, so that humans can get rid of the limitation of fragile body, no longer aging, no regenerating disease, no more hunger, no longer due to the passage of time And death only requires regular maintenance or replacement of the carrier to achieve immortality at the level of consciousness.

　　 However, before the complete destruction of the old world, there were still many flaws in the scientific and technological achievements in this area.

　　 When the old world was destroyed and the chaotic era came, suddenly a group of robots calling themselves "immortals" appeared on the ground.

　　 They used the imagination, way of thinking, and other strong evidences that are completely consistent with humans to make the remaining people believe that they were indeed humans and that consciousness can live forever.

But according to those "immortals", all the technologies of "consciousness uploading" were lost in the cataclysm. Now there are only a few devices that can be used, and there is only one factory that can produce "bionic chips" that can carry human consciousness. Corresponding robots, and they can't reverse crack, only know how to use these to create "immortals" to a limited extent.

　　 Therefore, their purpose of walking on the earth is to call on human beings to unite, reverse crack the device, reproduce the corresponding technology, let everyone gain immortality, end the dark age, and enter a new world.

　　Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong didn’t know how they developed at that time. They only knew that the textbook recorded this:

　　 "As time goes by, the'immortal people' have gradually exposed many problems. It is not that they are full of malice, but that the technology is far from mature.

　　"One of the most obvious problems is that when a person loses all the feelings brought about by the body, he also loses all the motivations for human struggle to survive.

"Many'immortals' began to find life boring, meaningless, and had very serious mental problems, and the crazy'immortals' brought a new round of extremely serious harm to the already fragile human group at the time. .

　　 "Although the remaining'immortals' have not gone mad, they have become very confused. They have begun to seek comfort from the various religious remains left over from the old world.

　　"In the end, they took a certain religion as the main body, absorbed the useful things of other religions, and created a new religion that was self-consistent in doctrine but extremely distorted and could help them solve their psychological problems.

　　 "They call themselves monks, and they call the hidden base where the ‘consciousness upload’ device is hidden the Liuli Pure Land."

These robot monks are not afraid of light weapons themselves and possess powerful firepower, just like an exoskeleton device with human intelligence. They are dangerous creatures that ordinary humans cannot fight against with a small team-even with heavy weapons, they may have to With the cooperation of dozens or hundreds of well-trained people and the proper tactics, they have the opportunity to solve a monk.

When Jiang Baimian summarized the more dangerous human beings, he did not mention the "immortals". This is because the members of the major forces on the dust and the wanderers in the wilderness regarded these monks as another kind of creatures. A completely different creature.

　　Of course, the monks of the Order of Monks are not too aggressive towards humans, and even in many cases, they are friendly enough.

　　The problem is that consciousness cannot be created out of thin air, and the monks who lose the ability to multiply will be destroyed if one is destroyed.

　　 In order to maintain the "population" and maintain the sect, the monks are active in various wilderness, looking for "destined people".

　　 If they find it, they will "transform" the target back to the Liuli Pure Land, asking the other party to abandon their body and upload their consciousness to the robot's bionic chip.

　　 Among those "destined", a small number of people are full of desire for "immortality" and have no resistance. Most of them are afraid to try because of the flaws of "immortal people", but as long as they are favored by monks, they are not willing or unwilling.

　　 This made the monastic order's reputation quickly deteriorated, and it could almost be said to be notorious.

At the same time, it may be because there are some flaws in the "immortal man" technology. Many mechanical monks have certain and different problems-when they encounter a specific scene or even hear a specific sentence, they will not be able to control themselves and change To be crazy, it takes a while to calm down, just like having a triggered mental illness or a triggered personality defect.

　　This unstable state makes many humans on the dust see the mechanical monks as scourges.

　　 For these reasons, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong reacted so strongly when they discovered that there was a mechanical monk on the opposite side.

　　——Only the monks of the Order of Monks like to wear monk robes and robes on their bodies. Ordinary intelligent robots will not have this kind of needs and "hobbies."

　　 Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao simultaneously aimed the muzzle of the Berserker assault rifle at the iron-black robot in red robes, cold sweat on their foreheads.

　　 They knew that their weapons could not threaten each other at all, and that the other party was not as critical as the bandit leader who wore military exoskeleton devices before, and could be targeted.

　　 Facing the mechanical monks, in terms of equipment, they have no chance of winning. The main reason for aiming is conditioned reflex.

　　 At this moment, they can only pray silently in their hearts, hoping that they are not "destined".

　　 In the next second, the 1.9-meter-high robot with tattered monk robes and red robes on its dark hard faces slightly swept them with flashing red eyes.

　　 Without words, the mechanical monk walked silently to the man who fell to death.

　　 A cold and emotional voice followed:

　　 "All beings are suffering, why are you so persistent that you don't realize it?

　　 "Follow me to return to the Pure Land, abandon the skin of the flesh, and attain the supreme enlightenment. You can understand that the four are empty, and the enlightened one will last forever.

　　 After finishing speaking, the mechanical monk folded his hands together and chanted in a low voice:

　　 "Nanwu Ahu Duola Sanhao Sanbodhi." (Note 1)

　　Shang Jian Yao and Long Yuehong saw that the other party ignored them, looked at each other, tacitly and silently began to step back.

　　 At this moment, the mechanical monk in the red robes kept his posture unchanged, and made the cold and emotional voice again:

　　"Why don't the two donors wait for a moment?

　　 "Although you have no relationship with my Buddha, all living beings have Buddha nature. It is not a bad thing to listen to the scriptures."

　　 Hearing the word "no destiny", Shang saw Yao and Long Yuehong's secret joy, and he was relieved.

　　 At the same time, they were afraid of angering each other, so they could only stop their retreat.

　　——Since the monk has no intention of attacking and transmigrating, but just wants to preach, it’s better to listen casually than to work hard.

　　 Seeing Shang Jian Yao and Long Yuehong stopped, the mechanical monk looked at the corpse on the ground and continued:

　　 "Although you are obsessed with not enlightening, but I am Buddha and Bodhi compassionate, I can't bear to see you expose the corpse to the wilderness, and I cannot get free.

　　 "I will supersede your soul. May you get rid of your body completely and be reborn in the pure land."

　　Long Yuehong watched quietly, and Shang Jianyao's voice suddenly rang in her ears:

　　 "How are you going to overdo it?"

　　 The mechanical monk stretched out his right hand, and UU reading www.uukanshu.com pointed his palm at the corpse.

　　 Then, he held up his left palm and said in a low voice:

　　 "Nanwu Ajiduolu Sanya Sanbodhi, great mercy, universal living, raging clean fire, burning your shackles..." (Note 1)

　　 In the sound of chanting, the mechanical monk's right palm sprayed out a burst of intense white flames, instantly lighting the corpse.

　　 And these flames seemed to stick to the surface of the corpse, they couldn't be extinguished.

　　 After doing this, the mechanical monk in red robes turned his body and walked towards Shang Jian Yao and Long Yue Hong:

　　 "Two donors, a poor monk named "Jing Fa" and a "monk"."

　　 Seeing that Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong did not respond, he suddenly sat down cross-legged, shook his robes lightly, and said in that cold, emotional voice:

"sit down."

　　 Shang Jian Yao hesitated, stepped a few steps forward, and sat on the ground in the most convenient posture to jump up.

　　 Long Yuehong slowed down for a few seconds, walked to the same position, and sat down.

　　 The red light flashed in the eyes of the mechanical monk who claimed to be a "monk" purification method, and he nodded slightly and said:

　　 "I wonder what the two donors know about my Buddha and Bodhi?"

　　 Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong shook their heads at the same time.

　　Jing Fa, the mechanical monk was not angry, and his cold voice was inexplicably solemn:

　　 "My Buddha Bodhi is one of the thirteen people who have been in charge of this world.

　　 "He is the ruler of January, the beginning of all things, the bud and incarnation of consciousness."

　　Note 1: The religious texts found by the Order of Monks are all fragments, so it is normal for Buddha names, doctrinal errors, and patchwork with other religious teachings to appear. Well, this is also to distinguish it from real religion, so as not to have trouble.
