654: C654 This Is a Relic

C654 This Is a Relic

In front of the giant octopus, the ruins were like dried leaves and a tree branch. They were easily moved to one side. This was because Lin Sen had asked them not to make too much noise, as they were worried about attracting the attention of the people on the shore. Otherwise, the giant octopus would be able to solve Lin Sen's problem faster and fiercer.1

In fact, this kind of action... It could no longer be called cleaning up. It should be called disassembling. Lin Sen felt that the big octopus seemed to have torn down a house and dug a hole. Then, the thing inside was revealed. It was a stone statue. It was a dragon head statue, about half a meter tall. Lin Sen had a strong feeling the moment this stone statue appeared. This was the thing he was looking for.

"Sisi, ask Big Octopus if he has any special feelings towards this stone statue." Lin Sen felt that he should ask the big octopus. He remembered that it had a few underlings digging this place. It seemed that they were also interested in this thing.

"Yes, but it's not of much use to it. It doesn't like the power inside." The big octopus quickly replied, but the answer was a little strange. And the power it didn't like, could it be that its attributes weren't in sync? This was the only thing Lin Sen could think of. This also made sense. There was only one stone statue here. But the giant octopus didn't move.

"Ask it, is there any special place nearby?" In terms of understanding of this area, the big octopus was probably the only one. This fellow had wandered around here quite a few times.

Big Octopus moved its limbs and dug out three more caves for Lin Sen. The items inside surprised Lin Sen greatly. These were definitely not items from Hai Dong Dragon Palace Temple. Even the people who were in charge of the Hai Dong Dragon Palace Temple in the past did not know about it. If it was someone else, these items would not have remained until now. Lin Sen had found a lot of Spirit Stone among them. Other than the Spirit Stone, there were also some jade and jewels. There were also some things that were similar to ores that had unknown uses. Other people were not interested in these kinds of things. However, Lin Sen was interested. Without any hesitation, he ransacked the three caves.

The giant octopus started to tear down things again and smashed them into a stone tower. It shattered the stone tower in a few hits, revealing what was inside. Lin Sen couldn't help but feel happy when he saw this. This guy was really not bad. If it was said that he could find the place where the Spirit Stone was hidden, Lin Sen wouldn't be surprised. However, among these things, it was obvious that the Spirit Stone didn't exist. It could even find some ordinary items. Suddenly, Lin Sen realized that something was not right. If it was just some ordinary items, the big octopus might not be able to find them. The fact that the big octopus was able to find this place indicated that there must be something extraordinary among these seemingly ordinary items.

No matter what was inside, now was not the time to count the items. Lin Sen threw everything into the space-time warehouse and let the octopus search again. After confirming that it did not find anything else, he released a dozen or so blue soul force fish. They searched together, but there was nothing special about it. As a reward, he gave all of these fish to the big octopus. Lin Sen searched again. He did not find anything special, so he let the big octopus take him. They headed towards the trench where the giant octopus came from.

Lin Sen didn't ask the big octopus what special place it lived in, but asked where it usually lived. The giant octopus brought Lin Sen to its nest. Lin Sen looked around. Other than the rich spiritual energy that leaked out from the trench, there was nothing else special about it. There was no such thing as Spirit Stone. Lin Sen had no way of collecting spiritual energy. He could only allow the spiritual energy to spread.

After searching for a while, he found that there was nothing special about the other places. Before dawn, Lin Sen and Chai Cai returned to the Thunder Sound. The Thunder Sound began its return journey, and Lin Sen also began to count his harvest. There were a number of Spirit Stone, and there were also some unknown materials and items. These were the things that were found in the stone towers in the three caves. There were books, paintings, jewelry, and jade artifacts everywhere. It seemed like it was a true treasure room. Furthermore, through the books, it could be inferred that this place... It should be a treasure vault that the previous generations of the Hai Dong Dragon Palace had known of. And within it... Lin Sen could only sense a different kind of aura from a wooden sculpture, not spiritual energy. It was a very special and weak aura. After a careful search, there was a hidden compartment in one of the wooden sculptures. Perhaps because it had been too long, this hidden compartment seemed to be one with the other parts. If not for Lin Sen's good eyesight and his unique aura to determine the location, it was likely that the giant octopus had also sensed this unique aura. That was why the stone tower was smashed.

Without destroying the wooden sculpture, it took a lot of effort to open the secret compartment. Once the secret compartment was opened, Lin Sen felt an abundance of energy. It was a very unique energy. Inside the secret compartment was something wrapped in a black cloth. It was grayish-white, like a pebble, the size of a thumb.

The Spirit Communication Technique tried to penetrate into this unique item, but found that it couldn't. It actually found that this thing was somewhat resistant to his mental strength. It was imaginable. If he tried to forcefully do something, he was afraid that he would suffer a violent backlash. This made him think of another statue, which made him spit out blood at that time. And the thing that Chai Cai could easily absorb.

"Sisi, come over here for a while. There might be an exclusive item for you." Lin Sen opened the walkie-talkie and Lin Sen called. Chai Cai immediately responded. In less than a minute, Chai Cai pushed open the door and came in.

"Take a look at what this is." Lin Sen handed the cobblestone-like thing to Chai Cai. Chai Cai took it and before she could do anything, a message appeared in her mind. When she saw this message, she could not help but be stunned. She came back to her senses and said excitedly, "This is a relic."

"Sarira, a stone?" This thing was not unfamiliar, Lin Sen asked doubtfully.

Chai Cai smiled and explained, "Right and wrong. For some people, stone could be called a relic. But for some people, relics are relics. Do you remember a legend in our wuxia novels: Whoever obtains the power of the Buddha can become a top expert in one leap. From this, it can be seen that the legend of the sarira has been around for a long time. However, as martial arts declined, some things also faded away. Therefore, the relic became a stone. In fact, the relic should be the condensation of a person's essence, blood, and qi. It could be imagined why an eminent monk died in meditation. And generally speaking, every eminent monk... They seemed to know when their time limit was, so they would find a place to die in advance. Do you think that their so-called passing away... Is it actually a legacy of power?"

Chai Cai's question was rather novel. Lin Sen was really stumped by her question. He thought about it carefully. It seemed that there really was such a possibility. When he thought of this question, some information naturally appeared in his mind. Chai Cai's guess was right. The truth was indeed for the inheritance. Moreover, this was a special method that was not exclusive to Taoists or Buddhists. However, compared to others, it seemed that the eminent monks were more distinctive. Therefore, some things were passed down. To put it bluntly, the Jade Chip was used to record information, while the sarira was used to store energy.
