As soon as they saw this tall and bizarre "robot", Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong's hearts chuckled at the same time, and every pore on the surface of their bodies involuntarily closed, and their hair stood up instantly.
At this moment, the same term flashed through their minds:
"Monks of the Monk Order!"
This is a very dangerous creature on the gray soil, and it also has a name:
"Eternal Man"!
According to the internal textbook of "Pangu Biology", before the destruction of the old world, mankind had made breakthroughs in certain scientific and technological fields, among which the most outstanding and admirable and yearning was "consciousness upload".
This technology can transmit human consciousness to a specially designed robot bionic chip through special equipment, so that human beings can get rid of the limitations of fragile bodies, no longer age, no longer get sick, no longer starve, no longer die due to the passage of time, only need regular maintenance or replacement of carriers, so as to achieve eternal life at the level of consciousness.
However, before the complete destruction of the old world, there were still many flaws in this scientific and technological achievements, which were never officially applied and only existed in laboratories.
When the old world was destroyed and the chaotic era came, a group of robots calling themselves "immortals" suddenly appeared on the earth.
They used their imagination, way of thinking, and other strong evidence that were completely consistent with human beings to convince the remaining people that they were indeed human, that consciousness could live forever.
But according to those "immortals", all the technologies of "consciousness uploading" were lost in the cataclysm, and now only a few devices are left to use, and only one factory can produce "bionic chips" that can carry human consciousness and corresponding robots.
Therefore, the purpose of their walk on the earth is: to call on mankind to unite, reverse crack the device, reproduce the corresponding technology, so that everyone can gain eternal life, end the dark ages, and enter the 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:
"As time goes by, the 'Immortals' gradually reveal a lot of problems, not that they are full of malice, but that the technology is far from mature enough.
"Among them, the most significant problem is that when a person loses all the feelings brought by the body, he also loses all kinds of motivation for human beings to struggle for survival.
"Many 'immortals' began to feel that life was boring and boring, 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 that time.
"The remaining 'eternal people', although not crazy, have become very confused, and they have begun to seek solace in the various religious remnants left over from the old world.
"Eventually, they took one religion as the main body, absorbed the useful things of other religions, and created a new, doctrinally consistent but extremely distorted new religion that would help them solve their psychological problems.
"They call themselves monks and call the hidden stronghold where the 'consciousness uploading' device is hidden as the Glass Pure Land."
These robot-shaped monks themselves are not afraid of small arms, and have powerful firepower, like an exoskeleton device with human intelligence, and are dangerous creatures that ordinary humans cannot fight with a small team - even if heavy weapons are used, they may need dozens or hundreds of well-trained people to cooperate and have the right tactics to have a chance to defeat a monk.
This is because members of the major forces and wilderness wanderers on the gray earth regard these monks as another creature, completely different from themselves.
Of course, the monks of the Monk Order are not too aggressive towards humans, and even in many cases, they are friendly enough.
But the problem is that consciousness cannot be generated out of thin air, and the monks who have lost their ability to reproduce will lose one less if one is destroyed.
In order to maintain the "population" and maintain the order, the monks are active in various wildernesses in search of "destined people".
If they find it, they will "cross" the target back to the Glass Pure Land, making the other party give up their physical body and upload their consciousness to the robot's bionic chip.
Among those "destined people", a small number are full of desire for "immortality" and do not resist, most of them do not dare to try due to the defects of the "immortal people" that circulate, but as long as they are favored by the monks, they are willing or unwilling.
This quickly deteriorated the reputation of the Monk Order, almost speaking to infamous.
At the same time, it may be because of certain flaws in the "immortal" technology, many mechanical monks have certain and different problems - when they encounter a specific scene or even hear a specific sentence, they will lose control and become crazy, and it will take a while to calm down, just like having a trigger-type mental illness or a trigger-type personality defect.
This unstable state has led many humans on the gray earth to regard the mechanical monks as flood beasts.
Based on these reasons, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong reacted so much when they found a mechanical monk opposite.
- Only monks of the Monk Order will like to wear monk's robes and robes outside their bodies, and ordinary intelligent robots will not have this need and "hobby" at all.
Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao simultaneously aimed the muzzle of the "Berserker" assault rifle at the iron-black robot in a red cassock, with cold sweat on their foreheads.
They knew that the weapons on their bodies could not threaten the other party at all, and the other party was not as important and could target as the bandit leader who had worn a military exoskeleton device before.
Facing mechanical monks, in terms of equipment, they have no chance of winning, and the reason why they aim is mainly because of conditioned reflexes.
At this moment, they can only pray silently in their hearts, hoping that they are not "destined people".
In the next second, the robot, which was 1.9 meters tall, wearing a tattered monk's robe and wearing a red robe, slightly sided its dark and cold face, and swept them with its flashing red eyes.
The mechanical monk was speechless and walked silently to the man who fell to his death.
A cold and emotionless voice sounded as follows:
"All living beings are suffering, why are you obsessed with it?
"Follow me back to the Pure Land, abandon your physical skin, and attain supreme enlightenment, and you will understand that the four are empty and the enlightened will last forever."
After saying that, the mechanical monk put his hands together and chanted:
"Namo Arudhara Three Bodhisattvas." (Note 1)
Seeing that the other party ignored the two of them, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong looked at each other, and began to retreat tacitly and silently.
At this moment, the mechanical monk in the red robe remained unchanged, and once again made that cold and emotionless voice:
"Why don't you two benefactors wait for a moment?
"Although you have no connection with my Buddha, all living beings have Buddha nature, and listening to the scriptures is not a bad thing."
Hearing the word "no fate", Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong were secretly happy and relieved.
At the same time, they were afraid of provoking each other, so they could only stop retreating.
——Since the monk had no intention of attacking and crossing the river, but just wanted to preach, it was better to listen casually than to try his best.
Seeing that Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong stopped, the mechanical monk looked at the corpse on the ground and continued:
"Although you are obsessed, my Buddha Bodhi is compassionate, and I cannot bear to see you exposed in the wilderness, and I cannot be liberated.
"I will transcend your soul, and may you completely get rid of your body and be born again in the Pure Land."
Long Yuehong watched quietly, and Shang Jianyao's voice suddenly sounded in her ears:
"How do you plan to transcend?"
The mechanical monk stretched out his right hand and aimed his palm at the corpse.
Then, he raised his left palm and whispered:
"Namo Arudhara Three Bodhisattvas, great compassion and great compassion, universal sentient beings, blazing fire purification, burning your shackles......" (Note 1)
In the midst of the chanting, the mechanical monk's right palm spewed out a burst of fiery white and rich flames, instantly igniting the corpse.
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 robe turned around and walked towards Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong:
"Two benefactors, the poor monk's Dharma name is 'Pure Law', and the other is 'Monk'."
Seeing that Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong did not respond, he suddenly sat down cross-legged, shook his robe lightly, and said in that cold and emotionless voice:
"Sit down."
Shang Jianyao hesitated for a moment, 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 a "monk" had a red light in his eyes, and nodded slightly:
"I don't know what the two benefactors 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 cold voice inexplicably took on a bit of solemnity:
"I, Buddha Bodhi, am 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 germ and embodiment of consciousness."
Note 1: The religious texts found by the monastic order are all fragments, so it is normal for Buddha names, doctrinal errors, and patchwork with other religious teachings. Well, this is also to distinguish it from real religion, so as not to get into trouble.
