Chapter 633: Chapter 633: The Incredibly Amazing Magic Artifact
Now, Huang Xiaolong could be certain that there was a Buddhist Array present in this villa district.
This place was once a temple where an enlightened monk used a Magic Artifact as the core to set up a formation.
The purpose of this formation was to imprison spirits.
Perhaps the original purpose of this formation was to trap a particular formidable ghost.
Today, many years later, the formidable ghost that was suppressed has long vanished, and the Buddhist power contained in the formation has mostly dissipated as well.
Only a bit of Mana remains.
But now, the souls of the deceased in the villa district are also trapped and unable to reincarnate. In the long term, this is against the natural law of life and death.
Huang Xiaolong, accompanied by Miao Erfang and Zhou Mi, thus began to explore the villa district.
At this moment, several well-dressed owners approached Huang Xiaolong.
“Who are you? You do not seem to be the owners here, you’ve been wandering around for quite a while now. What are you up to?” An affluent middle-aged woman, her hands on her hips, approached imposingly, treating Huang Xiaolong as if he were a threat.
Huang Xiaolong did not explain; he had found the location of the formation’s core.
He sat cross-legged, his eyes gazing at his nose and his mind at peace, like a monk in meditation.
The owners stood next to Huang Xiaolong, pointing and whispering amongst themselves.
Before long, more and more owners gathered around.
Huang Xiaolong paid no mind to these bystanders. He was single-minded, forming a mudra resembling a lotus with his hands, silently chanting the Six-Character Great Bright Mantra.
He was preparing to use his Buddhist power to break this remaining formation.
Before long, golden light radiated from Huang Xiaolong, and simultaneously, golden Buddhist images appeared in some places in the villa district, reflected off Huang Xiaolong. As Huang Xiaolong chanted, it felt as if the entire villa district was filled with the sounds of Buddhist chanting, like numerous monks reciting scriptures, while an indescribable fragrance began to fill the air.
This moment left the onlooking owners calm and tranquil, feeling an unprecedented peace, comfort, and piety towards Buddha.
The look in their eyes when they looked at Huang Xiaolong changed, to one of utmost respect.
Zhou Mi and Miao Erfang both had smitten looks on their faces as they watched Huang Xiaolong perform his magic.
Soon, faint images of Monks wearing Kasaya appeared in different parts of the villa district. There were older Monks and younger ones, a total of eighteen!
“Amitabha, well indeed!”
The chanting echoed around, stirring the soul.
The scene was quite a spectacle!
“The power of your formation has already waned significantly, and moreover, the place has changed over time and is now a villa district. The formation is no longer suitable for this area, so today, I will erase the remaining formation.” Huang Xiaolong spoke calmly.
The ethereal images of the monks smiled and nodded, and promptly dissipated.
Huang Xiaolong had used his own Buddha-nature and Mana to manifest the monks who had set up the formation in the past.
This scene was truly hard to explain scientifically. However, the ethereal images of the monks soon disappeared, leaving the spectators confused, making them wonder if they had just hallucinated.
Soon, the golden light in the villa district dissipated completely.
The remaining formation and the little Mana were all wiped out by Huang Xiaolong. The formation ceased to exist, and from then on, the spirits of the deceased in the villa district were free to move on to reincarnation.
After accomplishing this, Huang Xiaolong stood up and began to dig at the location of the formation’s core.
His hands glowed with a brilliant True Qi, which made digging easier than using a specialized tool.
Many owners watched in astonishment.
However, now they no longer dared to see Huang Xiaolong as a threat. Huang Xiaolong’s saintly demeanor just now was worthy of respect.
Before long, Huang Xiaolong finally dug out an object from the hole.
This object was a bowl!
What is a bowl?
In simple terms, it is a container for food and is often used by monks for almsgiving. It is usually made of materials such as copper, iron, and can be struck during recitation of scriptures.
The bowl in Huang Xiaolong’s hands was made of copper, already showing signs of oxidation, patchy, and utterly worthless.
It was fundamentally a worthless object, dull and unremarkable.
However, what sets this bowl apart from others is that its surface is engraved with numerous symbols and Sanskrit scripts.
Huang Xiaolong gently brushed the bowl with his hand, with a gleam in his eyes, murmuring. “Good! This Magic Artifact is excellent! Once I re-bless this Magic Artifact, it can exhibit its magical effects again! Hahaha, this is a true bargain!”
After a brief inspection by Huang Xiaolong, he had already figured out the wonders of this bowl Magic Artifact. It’s just that right now it’s a pearl covered in dust. After so many years, the bowl Magic Artifact no longer has any Mana, and Huang Xiaolong needs to re-bless it, though this is not a problem.
Huang Xiaolong carefully placed the bowl into the canvas bag, and with a joyful heart, he said to Miao Erfang and Zhou Mi, “Everything’s done, let’s go.”
The three of them then walked straight out of the villa district.
Huang Xiaolong drove Miao Erfang’s Beetle back to the city.
“Hey… Master Long, is the thing you dug out just now a treasure?” Zhou Mi asked curiously.
Miao Erfang also whispered, “Master Long, it seems like you found a treasure. That bowl looks so old and broken, I really…I really can’t see anything special.”
“Of course you guys can’t see it.” Huang Xiaolong said with a grin. “But I can assure you, this Magic Artifact, is priceless. If we were to put a monetary value on it, it could be traded for…um…never mind, it can’t really be measured by money. In any case, this Magic Artifact is very powerful.”
“Really?” Zhou Mi and Miao Erfang both looked skeptical.
“Master Long, could you let us have another careful look at that bowl?” Miao Erfang pleaded softly.
Huang Xiaolong casually took out the bowl Magic Artifact from his canvas bag and threw it to the two female presenters.
Miao Erfang and Zhou Mi carefully held the bowl, turning it over and over for a good while and still found nothing special about it.
The more they looked at it, the more it seemed to be just a piece of junk.
Huang Xiaolong drove the beetle to an underground parking lot of a supermarket in the city area.
After parking the car, he took back the bowl Magic Artifact and re-blessed it!
Pure Buddhist power danced around the bowl Magic Artifact.
Swiftly, the Buddhist power was like a waterfall, cleansing the copper-green patina and corroded areas from the bowl Magic Artifact, enabling the bowl Magic Artifact to emit a brilliant luster.
The Sanskrit text and various symbols on it emerged fully and began to flow smoothly.
The bowl Magic Artifact seemed brand new!
“There, now it’s turned from waste to a treasure, an incredibly magical Magic Artifact!” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes shone brightly.
