As soon as they saw this tall and bizarre "robot", Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong's hearts throbbed at the same time, every pore on the body surface closed involuntarily, and the roots of hair 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 ash, and he also has a name:
"Eternal Life"!
According to the description of the internal textbook of "Panga Biology", before the destruction of the old world, human beings have made breakthroughs in certain fields of science and technology.
This technology can upload human consciousness to a specially designed robot bionic chip through special equipment, so that human beings can get rid of the limitation of fragile flesh, no longer aging, no longer sick, no longer hungry, no longer due to the passage of time In death, only regular maintenance or replacement of the carrier is required to achieve immortality at the level of consciousness.
However, before the complete destruction of the old world, the scientific and technological achievements in this area still have many flaws, and they have never been formally applied, and only exist in the laboratory.
When the old world was destroyed and the era of chaos came, a group of robots calling themselves "eternal people" suddenly appeared on the earth.
They used imagination, thinking and other strong evidence that were completely consistent with human beings to convince the surviving people that they were indeed once human beings, and that consciousness could live forever.
But according to those "immortals", all the technologies of "consciousness uploading" were lost in the cataclysm, and now there are only a few devices left to use, and only one factory can produce "bionic chips" that can carry human consciousness and Corresponding robots, and they can't reverse the crack, they only know how to use these to create "immortal people" to a limited extent.
Therefore, the purpose of their walking on the earth is: to call on human beings to unite, reverse the cracking of 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 it developed at that time, they only knew that it was recorded in the textbook:
"Over time, the 'immortals' gradually exposed a lot of problems, it is not that they are full of maliciousness, but the technology is far from mature.
"One of the most obvious problems is that when a person loses the sensations brought about by the body, he also loses the motivation for human struggle to survive.
"Many 'immortals' began to feel that life was boring and meaningless, and had very serious mental problems, and the mad 'immortals' brought a new round of extremely serious harm to the already fragile human group at that time. .
"Though the remaining 'immortals' have not gone mad, they have also become very confused, and they have begun to seek solace in various religious remnants left over from the old world.
"Ultimately, they took a religion as the main body, absorbed useful things from other religions, and created a new religion that was completely new, self-consistent but extremely distorted, and could help them solve their psychological problems.
"They call themselves monks, and call the hidden location where the 'consciousness uploading' device is hidden, the Pure Land of Glass."
These monks in the shape of robots are not afraid of light weapons and have powerful firepower. They are like exoskeleton devices with human intelligence. They are dangerous creatures that ordinary humans cannot fight with small teams. Even if they use heavy weapons, it may take a few With the cooperation of dozens of well-trained people and proper tactics, there is a chance to solve a monk.
When Jiang Baimian summed up the more dangerous human beings before, he did not mention "immortal people", this is because the members of the major forces above the gray soil and the wilderness wanderers regarded these monks as another kind of creatures, and A completely different creature.
Of course, the monks of the monk order 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 have lost their ability to reproduce will be destroyed by one less.
In order to maintain the "population" and maintain the religious order, the monks are active in various wildernesses, looking for "destined people".
If they find it, they will "transform" the target back to the glazed pure land, let the other party give up the physical body, and upload the consciousness to the bionic chip of the robot.
Among those "destined people", a small number are full of desire for "eternal life" and have no resistance, and most of them dare not try because of the flaws of "eternal life", but as long as they are favored by monks, whether they want to or not can't help them.
This quickly eroded the monastic order's reputation, almost notoriety.
At the same time, it may be because of certain defects in the technology of "immortal people", many mechanical monks have certain and different problems - when they encounter a specific scene or even hear a specific sentence, they will be unable to control themselves and become Crazy, it takes a while to calm down, like having a trigger mental illness or having a trigger personality defect.
This unstable state has made many humans in the dust see the mechanical monks as beasts of the flood.
Based on these reasons, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong reacted so greatly when they discovered that there was a mechanical monk on the opposite side.
- Only the monks of the monk order would like to wear robes and cassocks on the outside of their bodies. Ordinary intelligent robots will not have such needs and "hobbies" at all.
At the same time, Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao aimed the muzzle of the "Berserker" assault rifle at the iron-black robot wearing a red cassock, with cold sweat on their foreheads.
They know that the weapons on their bodies can't threaten the other party at all, and the other party is not as vulnerable as the robber chief who wore the military exoskeleton device before and can be targeted.
Facing the mechanical monks, in terms of equipment, they have no chance of winning. The reason for aiming is mainly because of conditioned reflex.
At this moment, they can only pray silently in their hearts, hoping that they are not "destined people".
The next second, the 1.9-meter-tall robot, wearing a tattered monk robe and a red cassock, glanced at them with its flickering red eyes.
The mechanical monk did not speak, and silently walked to the man who fell to his death.
A cold and emotionless voice sounded:
"All beings are suffering, why are you obsessed with not realizing it
"Follow me back to the Pure Land, abandon the flesh and skin, and attain the supreme righteous enlightenment. You will understand that the four elements are empty, and the enlightened one will live forever."
After speaking, the mechanical monk folded his hands together and recited in a low voice:
"Namo Anuttara Samak Sambodhi." (Note 1)
Seeing that the other party ignored them, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong looked at each other and began to step back silently.
At this moment, the mechanical monk in the red cassock kept his posture unchanged, and made that cold and emotionless voice again:
"Why don't the two benefactors 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 "missing", Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong were secretly delighted and heaved a sigh of relief.
At the same time, they were afraid of angering each other, so they could only stop their steps of retreating.
-Since the monk had no intention of attacking or transforming, but just wanted to teach a lesson, it would be better to listen casually than desperately.
Jianshang Jianyao and Long Yuehong stopped, and the mechanical monk looked at the corpse on the ground and continued:
"Although you are obsessed and unenlightened, but I, Buddha and Bodhi, have compassion, I can't bear to see your corpse exposed in the wilderness and cannot be liberated.
"I will transcend your soul. May you completely get rid of your body and gain a new life in the Pure Land."
Long Yuehong watched quietly, and suddenly the voice of Shang Jianyao sounded in her ears:
"How are you going to get over it?"
The mechanical monk stretched out his right hand and aimed at the corpse with the palm of his hand.
Then, he raised his left palm and whispered:
"Namo Anuttara Samak Sambodhi, Great Mercy and Great Compassion, Purdue all sentient beings, Purifies the fire, burns your shackles..." (Note 1)
In the chanting sound, the right palm of the mechanical monk spurted out a blazing white and rich flame, which instantly set the corpse on fire.
And these flames seemed to stick to the surface of the corpse and could not be extinguished.
After doing this, the mechanical monk in the red cassock turned around and walked towards Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong:
"Two donors, a poor monk named 'Jingfa' and a 'monk'."
Seeing Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong didn't respond, he suddenly sat down with his legs crossed, shook his robe lightly, and said in that cold and emotionless voice:
"sit down."
Shang Jianyao hesitated for a while, took a few steps forward, and sat on the ground in the most convenient position to jump up.
Long Yuehong slowed down for a few seconds, walked to the same position, and sat down.
The mechanical monk who called himself "Monk" purifying the law flashed red light in his eyes, 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.
The mechanical monk, Jingfa, was not angry, and his icy voice was inexplicably solemn:
"My Buddha Bodhi is one of the thirteen years of age who rule the world.
"He is the ruler of January, the beginning of all things, the germination and incarnation of consciousness."
Note 1: The religious texts found by the monk sect are all fragments, so it is normal to have errors in Buddha names, teachings, and piecing together with other religious teachings. Well, this is also separate from the actual religion, so as to avoid trouble.
