The sun and moon are both wrong; who made him seek the Dharma

"Moreover, it will soon appear in the world!"

The two were incredulous and exclaimed:

"What?!!!"

Duan Xinglian felt a chill run down his spine.

The artifact used by Patriarch Gao Haoguang to attain enlightenment was actually left outside.

Was it initiated by the patriarch?

still……?

Is it related to the reason why Senior Zhao Yan could only meet Senior Shangguan Xiao through paper dolls?

Seeing the two younger people react this way, Bai Xiaoxiao sighed:

"That thing must not fall into the hands of others."

She paused, her gaze shifting from the old locust tree outside the window to Duan Xinglian and Zhou Liuqing's faces:

"That's why I'm in such a hurry to find Senior Shangguan Xiao, to see if I can offer another helping hand."

Duan Xinglian frowned, quickly processing what Bai Xiaoxiao had just said in his mind.

The three individuals, namely, the End of the Dharma Talisman, the End of the Dharma Treasure, and the Pinnacle of the Dharma Body, are widely recognized as having reached the end of their spiritual practice.

But what exactly does "end" mean?

What is at the end of the talisman?

He looked up and asked the most crucial question:

"Then, what exactly is this object of enlightenment?"

To Duan Xinglian's surprise, Bai Xiaoxiao smiled slightly:

"That's one of the reasons I brought you here."

She stood up, turned around, and walked to the antique mahogany cabinet in the corner of the ancestral hall.

"Let me look for it. I remember putting it here."

Not long after, she returned carrying a box.

The box wasn't large, about the size of two palms, and it was made of wood. The edges were worn smooth and shiny, indicating that it was quite old.

Bai Xiaoxiao placed the box on the table and opened the lid.

Inside, there was a thick stack of black and white photos, at least several dozen.

"Look, there are photos here too."

Bai Xiaoxiao pushed the box of black and white film photos in front of the two of them, her tone tinged with smugness:

"Back then, Haoguang asked me to film it, and it took a lot of effort to finish it."

Duan Xinglian and Zhou Liuqing exchanged a glance and leaned over to take a look.

The first photo.

The background is a vast, dark sea, its waters somber like solidified ink, the waves carrying a heavy, somber quality.

Where the sea meets the sky, a faint line of gray light can be seen, making it impossible to tell whether it is sunrise or sunset.

On the beach, a square object stands in the sand.

The thing was square with sharp edges and corners, about half a person's height, with several raised buttons on the top and gaps on the sides, like the paper output slot of some kind of machine.

The old photo was a bit blurry and grainy, but the familiar shapes still made Zhou Liuqing frown.

"Is this the end of the magic talisman?"

She tilted her head, stared at the object for several seconds, then suddenly her eyes widened:

This thing looks like...

She opened her mouth, then uttered three words incredulously:

"printer?!"

Zhou Liuqing stared in disbelief, turning to look at Bai Xiaoxiao, her voice rising several octaves:

"The final destination of the magic symbol is actually a printer?!"

Outrageous

But while it seemed outrageous, Zhou Liuqing also felt that something was amiss.

Printers can copy text, copy images, and mass-produce.

and many more.

Mass production method?

Something clicked into place in Zhou Liuqing's mind.

Even the simplest minor magical talisman can only be produced in a few talismans per day.

But if there is a printer that can print legal symbols.

The output that day was probably enough to make toilet paper!

How many powerful sorcerers would need a lifetime to produce the magical talismans that this tiny printing press could generate in a year?

She looked down at the photo again, and her gaze had changed.

Just then, Zhou Liuqing heard Bai Xiaoxiao's confused voice.

"what?"

"Only one? Didn't I take pictures of them all?"

Bai Xiaoxiao leaned closer to the photo and squinted at it for a long time.

Then she breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to the photo, explaining:

"It's not just one machine; look, there are so many behind it."

Following Bai Xiaoxiao's finger, Zhou Liuqing and Duan Xinglian's expressions froze.

The low resolution of the old-fashioned camera made it difficult for the two to notice at first glance, until Bai Xiaoxiao pointed it out, at which point they were surprised.

That Black Sea isn't a sea at all!

The square black boxes stretched endlessly, reaching all the way to the horizon.

This whole area is full of those printers?!

The two of them felt a chill run down their spines.

Seeing their expressions, Bai Xiaoxiao pouted:

"Look, there's something written by Haoguang back then on the back."

Upon hearing this, Duan Xinglian carefully turned the photo over.

The calligraphy, flowing like dragons and snakes, with powerful strokes and a sharp, imposing aura, immediately struck the reader:

"The weaving machine experiment was successful; it can produce 36,000 talismans in one breath."

Gao Haoguang.

Chapter 35 Top Teachers

1906 AD.

Although the fight that broke out suddenly last night almost devastated the entire Wu residence, fortunately, there were not many casualties.

The main reason was that Master Wu was quick-witted.

As soon as Zhao Yan arrived, he led all the servants and residents of the mansion and ran away. Even the accountant carried his abacus and ran as fast as he could.

Thanks to this, after daybreak, the group of seekers still received the agreed-upon reward.

The silver was piled on the surviving stone table in the courtyard, its whiteness dazzling in the morning light.

There was also a small mountain of French red sandstone, crystal clear and in excellent condition.

Looking at the mountain of silver in his hand, Gao Haoguang couldn't help but sigh:

"This Master Wu is truly an honest and kind man."

“We’ve almost demolished his house, yet he’s still so honest and trustworthy.”

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Especially the three brothers from the Laoshan Dharma Assembly and the Five Elements Sect looked Gao Haoguang and Xia Chuan up and down, completely puzzled:

The disciples under the command of the Three Truths are so powerful.

How come I've never heard of this before?

With respect and reverence, the three of them shared half of their earnings with Sanzhen.

After thanking them in person, he parted ways with Xia Chuan and the others.

Before Gao Haoguang could react, the pile of silver in front of him had grown even higher.

"This...this is too much trouble!"

Gao Haoguang was polite in words, but his hands were already gathering the silver in front of him, his eyes crinkling with a smile:

"Wow, this is a winning hand!"

Then, he turned to look at the young man in the courtyard who was still wearing a large hat and was quietly tidying up his red umbrella.

Last night, before he and his senior brother arrived, it was this guy who desperately held Zhao Yan back.

If he hadn't delayed them, by the time they arrived, Master and the young lady would probably already be...

From any perspective, he was Sanzhen's benefactor.

Gao Haoguang pointed to the pile of silver and waved his hand generously at Haishan:

"Big Head, what about you?"
