In the days that followed, the cat demon saw that the monk's body was getting worse day by day. It began to go out for the monk, and still used this kitten's body to find food. It knew that the monk would not eat the prey it hunted, so it went to dig some Weeds, pick some wild fruits.

This idiot has starved himself to this point. If he had known, he should have eaten him in the first place! It’s all like this now! It's not delicious at all. You have to fatten it up before eating it!

It persuaded itself to do the work of taking care of the monk day after day, but even so, the monk's end seemed to be approaching.

On this day, the monk did not chant sutras. This was the first time in several years that the monk was still lying on the shabby straw mat near noon.

The cat demon took advantage of the opportunity. It jumped up and down on the monk, and its meowing sound was full of ridicule to the monk.

You idiot can also stay in bed! Usually he would scold me if I slept a little longer! How about now! You're staying in bed too! Humph, I really can’t do anything about you. Since you want to sleep, let me let you sleep for a while!

"Ahem, Xiaobai."

The monk slowly opened his eyes. His brows were full of haggardness and weakness. His skinny fingers gently touched the cat demon's furry forehead, and his words were filled with firmness and compassion.

Who is Xiaobai! Don't give people random names!

Although he was cursing in his heart, the cat demon still allowed the monk to touch his head.

"I know you are not an ordinary animal... I knew you were a monster on the first day you came here, but when you entered the Buddhist hall, you are destined to be with me, the Buddha. After so many years, Xiaobai...have you ever let go of the murderous karma in your heart?"

......

The white cat froze for a moment, then jumped lightly onto the monk's chest.

"You know that I am a monster, but you are not afraid at all? Killing karma? Humph, I rely on killing karma to practice. How can I survive in this world if I put aside killing karma?"

The monk responded slowly: "Xiao Bai, the way to survive is not just killing. The purpose of practice is to get rid of obsessions, not to be trapped by obsessions. Look at the mountains, rivers and trees in this world, they are born in heaven and earth In the meantime, you don’t ask for anything from others, but you still live endlessly. Everything has its own meaning and value. As a monster, you also have your own path. If you can understand your heart and see your nature, and let go of killing, your power will be It will become purer and more powerful.”

He panted slightly, his fingers still clinging to the soft fur of the cat demon: "I was once lost in the world of mortals, holding a sharp blade and killing decisively. It wasn't until I encountered Buddhism that I realized that all evil stems from the greed, anger and ignorance in my heart. Now that I have reached the end of my life, I hope you can understand this truth, free yourself, and become truly powerful."

"...Hmph, you'd better take care of yourself..."

The cat demon looked at the monk's dying appearance, and for some reason, his heart felt as unbearable as if he was being strangled by a knife.

The monk's eyes gradually became softer and far-reaching. He tried his best to open his tired eyelids and look at the cat demon who had been with him for many years.

At this time, he was exhausted, but his heart was still as firm as ever.

"Xiao Bai, you have always been by my side, watching me chant sutras and worship Buddha. Maybe you wonder why I would accept a monster as a companion. In fact, I have already seen that you are extraordinary and that your power is far beyond that of ordinary people. It can be understood. However, power is not only used for killing, its true meaning lies in understanding and guidance."

"...Then you, get up! Chant sutras and recite Buddha! If you don't recite Buddha! I will kill people! I, I will kill many people! A lot! I don't want to listen to your nonsense! Get up ! As usual! Recite sutras! I will find food for you! Just recite sutras!"

The monk's fingers rubbed the cat demon's furry head, and he continued in a weak but clear voice: "I am about to leave, but just leaving this body for a short time does not mean that I have given up on you. Xiaobai, I promise you , when you can really see your own strength, recognize your own nature, abandon killing, and find inner peace and wisdom, I will wait for you in another world, personally come to guide you, and step into a higher level together. The path of spiritual practice at different levels.”

The cat demon couldn't understand the monk's words, but it understood what the monk meant.

He is leaving, but not forever. What does it mean...will he come to pick me up then? Does this mean he will come back one day? Human beings are so strange... It's just that they haven't eaten, why are they like this after only a few days?

Boom——

Dark clouds gradually enveloped the sky, and an unexpected rainstorm suddenly fell.

The cat demon slowly jumped off the monk's body. It had to find food. It was really troublesome. This monk didn't eat meat, he was a picky eater!

When leaving the ruined temple, the cat demon looked back at the monk one last time.

"Wait for me, you damn bald man. I'll bring the food back soon. After you eat, get up and recite sutras! Don't be lazy!"

After saying these words, the cat demon jumped lightly and climbed over the broken outer wall of the ruined temple.

The monk who stayed in the house, although his body was extremely weak and lying on the straw mat, his brows slowly opened, as if he felt the coming relief, but also mixed with a trace of worry and concern for the little kitten demon. miss.

Although this cat demon has countless killing karma, he has a pure nature and a simple heart. However, he has been troubled by the complicated world in his life.

Maybe...I can still use this broken body to finally do something for it.

At the same time, the cat demon traveling through the dense forest did not let go of the concern in his heart.

It flexibly picked up a huge leaf, quickly searched for and collected various fruits and fresh weeds, and then carefully wrapped them one by one with the leaf.

This sudden heavy rain brought many inconveniences to the cat demon's journey. However, these difficulties did not stop its determination to return eagerly.

Dark clouds were pressing overhead, and the sky seemed to be dimmed by the splashing rain. Equally gloomy was the mood of the cat demon.

The lingering uneasiness in its heart struck again, prompting it to run with all its strength and speed towards the small ruined temple where it had spent time together.

After eating so many fruits and wild vegetables, the monk should be satisfied!

What a miserable life I have, having to take care of a damn bald man! For what reason, just to fatten him up and make him taste delicious!

When the shadow of the ruined temple gradually appeared in the white cat's eyes, it suddenly stopped, and then the leaves in its mouth fell on the wet mud. The fruits and weeds were scattered on the ground. The cat demon's pupils were in Constantly shaking.

Because the ruined temple in front of him was actually wrapped in a ball of black flames. The flame was completely unaffected by the rain. It greedily devoured every brick and tile of the ruined temple, and was also devouring the only pure land in its heart.

"No, it can't be...bald...!!!"

The cat demon trembled and let out a roar, revealing its truly huge body. Like a desperate beast, it sadly and violently rushed towards the temple where the black flames spread.

After breaking open the wooden door, the cat demon suddenly found that above the Buddhist hall, where the flames were filled, the monk was already wearing his old and patched monk robe, sitting quietly on the Buddhist hall as before. The stone Buddha statue, the Buddha's palm where it sleeps every day, has long been engulfed in flames.

"Bald man!!"

The cat demon screamed at the top of its lungs, but it stopped as soon as it took a step.

Because it found that there was another person standing next to the monk.

That ghostly girl...

The girl turned her back to the cat demon and stood beside the monk. The tip of the long knife in her hand gently touched the ground. It seemed casual, but it revealed an indescribable majesty. The black flame seemed to be emanating from her whole body, echoing her existence, giving people a feeling of mystery and danger.

"noob......"

The monk stopped chanting, and slowly turned his head, looking at the huge figure of the cat demon with the same clear eyes as when they first met, and said softly: "Remember our agreement... "

"Wait... Baldy... No, don't! Please! Please don't kill him! Please!!"

In the eyes of the cat demon, the girl was already standing in front of the monk, and the long knife in her hand was slowly raised.

"The time...has come."

"No, no, no, I beg you! Please! Baldy! Run! Hurry up!!"

It screamed and rushed towards the Buddhist hall, but it was still a step too late.

Swah——

The long knife in the girl's hand lightly cut across the monk's body, and the terrifying blade penetrated his body as if it had no body. Then, the girl slowly turned around and walked towards the black sea of ​​fire.
