He died on July 30th of the lunar calendar at the age of 99. Jin Qiaojue's body has been in the jar for three years, and his whole body is not bad. He looks lifelike, shaking his joints like a golden lock. According to the Buddhist scriptures, the voice of the golden lock skull is the response of the bodhisattva to the world.
