Next, Shen Er, what's your business?

Chapter 313
"There is the leader of Shanghua Wuliang Casting Hua Guangtong Heaven and Earth."

Accompanied by the sound of the Buddha's name, the living room of Matou's house was illuminated by the soft but solemn golden light of Buddhism.

"At that time, the Buddha told the cast Bodhisattva, and the four congregations of heaven and man: 'I have sought the Dharma Sutra among the countless in the past. There is no exhaustion. Among the many, I have always been a king. I made a vow to seek the supreme Bodhi. .”

"At that time, the World-Honored One reaffirmed this meaning. And speaking the gatha—"

After a month of repeated reading, Shen Er has become familiar with the scriptures engraved in the relic, and he is becoming more and more proficient in using the power of the relic to resist the curse.

Under the guidance of the scriptures, the Buddha's light turned into two streams, one went up the left arm, flowed through most of the body, and finally converged on the right shoulder to resist the curse.The other directly passed through the overlapping palms, pierced the right wrist, and directly attacked the starting point of the curse.

Attacking back and forth, two-pronged approach, after a month, the vicious curse specially developed by "White Wing" for magicians was firmly blocked on his right arm, and he could not advance an inch.

What's even more amazing is that whenever a part is about to rot, the Buddha's light will act on this part from the outside, making it gradually return to its original appearance.Because of this, the right arm that has been eroded by the curse for a month has not lost its function.

Seeing the black stinky meat in front of her slowly change back to its original color, Lorelia finally let go of half of her hanging heart, and the other half was because—"This is only a temporary relief, the curse is still entrenched in your body, Do you intend to continue like this forever?"

After reciting the scriptures, Shinji shook his head.Before he could speak, a black figure emerged from under the cloak, and climbed onto Shen Er's red and black mottled right arm in an instant.

It wasn't until this time that everyone could clearly see the real body of the black shadow.

This is a cat that can be held in two hands. Its fur is black and shiny without a trace of variegation, and its beautiful eyes are brighter than the finest heliotrope.

The black cat squatted on Shinji's arm, its slender tail gently brushing the latter's cheek.

Shinji nodded slightly at it, and the black cat bit the middle of his right arm, which was still smelling a few minutes ago.

"Ah——" Sakura let out an exclamation, subconsciously wanting to drive away the cat that hurt her brother, but stopped before taking action.

She saw a very strange scene, the black cat's fangs had clearly pierced Shen Er's skin, but no drop of blood flowed out, and Shen Er did not show any painful expression on his face.

This scene lasted for more than a minute. The black cat let go of its mouth and wiped its mouth with its two front paws, as if it was a noble lady who had finished her meal.

Sweeping Shen Er's cheek with its tail again, it jumped off its right arm with light steps, found the most comfortable position on the sofa and lay down, closed its eyes, as if falling into a deep sleep.

"Is this—?" Lorelia asked.

"This is the companion that the poor monk met on the way." Shen Er kept his palms together, which was somewhat solemn.

"elder brother?"

"Shinji?"

The sudden change of tone aroused everyone's doubts.

"The poor monk is already a monk, so it's better not to use a secular name."

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Sakura was a little anxious.

"The name of the poor monk——"

"Matou Shinji, have you had enough trouble? It's not that I haven't dealt with Buddhist monks before. None of them are like you. It's too contrived."

Being stabbed by Lorelia, Baoxiang, who was disguised by Shen Er, immediately failed.

"Pretentious? I've always thought that this is what an eminent monk should be like. Didn't you read that in "Journey to the West" the Tang monk said the same thing? The poor monk came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty and went to the Western Paradise to obtain the scriptures. And, Look at me with such a big bald head, it would be unreasonable not to act as an eminent monk once."

Hearing such nonsensical words, Lorelia's face was full of helplessness: "You can also get the Buddhist inheritance with this appearance?"

"Maybe it's because I have a predestined relationship with the Buddha." While perfunctory, Shen Er winked at Sakura - the matter of Relic was kept secret.

Sakura blinked - got it, brother.

Lorelia didn't notice the small movements between the siblings, and said thoughtfully: "This is a bit Buddhist, but Buddhism is stricter than the Holy Church in some respects. Are you willing to abide by those rules and regulations?"

"Japanese Buddhism doesn't have so many restrictions." Shinji shrugged indifferently, "you can eat meat, you can get married, and you can have children."

"It doesn't seem to make any difference."

Sakura stared at her brother's bald head, thinking that this is actually quite good.The brother with hair is handsome, and the brother without hair is also handsome.

"There is no difference at all." Shen Er chuckled, "And even if there is, it doesn't matter, the big deal is to become a monk who broke the precepts, a wine and meat monk."

"Shen Er, you are blaspheming the Buddha."

Crane also preached to the children.Japan worships Buddhism, and the vast majority of its citizens have a certain understanding of Buddhism, whether they believe in Buddhism or not, even a demon family like the Matou family is no exception.

"Father, you don't understand Buddhism." Shen Er shook his head.

"Then you understand?" Crane said unhappily.

Shinji stretched out his left hand, which was still glowing with pale gold, and asked, "What is this?"

Crane also replied: "This is your hand."

Shen Er shook his head twice: "No, this is Buddha's hand."

Crane also didn't understand: "Why do you say that?"

"I'll answer this question for you later, and I'll ask you again, what is this?" Shen Er stretched out a foot while speaking.

Crane also tentatively replied: "Are these Buddha's feet?"

Shinji still shook his head. "No, it's a pig's foot."

Crane also couldn't understand more and more, "Why is this?"

"Buddhism is different from Christianity, where God is supreme, and Catholicism, where Allah is supreme. Buddhism emphasizes the equality of all beings, and everyone can become a Buddha. Therefore, whether I say I am a Buddha or a pig, I don't exalt or belittle, let alone blaspheme .Furthermore, isn't Buddhism stressing that all dharmas are empty, colorless, formless, and immeasurable? If this is the case, why stick to the rules and regulations. As the saying goes, "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha sits in his heart." Attaching to wine and meat is actually obsessed. phase, it has fallen to the bottom."

"I can't tell, you still have research on Buddhism, and plan to join Buddhism in the future?"

Regarding Loreley's question, Shen Er naturally denied it: "How is it possible, I am surrounded by you and Elmeloy in the clock tower, and my life is so comfortable, I am too lazy to leave—— In the future, I will always travel around the world. In East Asia and Southeast Asia, the identity of a Buddhist monk is more useful than a magician.”

"That's true." Lorelia thought deeply, "Forget it, let's not talk about it, let's talk about this black cat. How did you find it? Families that can swallow curses are rare even in the age of mythology. .”

"Well, well, I'd like to know too, it looks very cute." Sakura followed suit, wanting to go up and touch the black cat, but afraid of waking it up.

"I didn't find it, it found me."

Shen Er lowered his head, looked at the little guy who was soundly asleep, and his thoughts flew back to a month ago.
