I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

"There is a leader who casts the immeasurable brilliance and illuminates the heaven and the earth."

Along with this Buddha's name, the soft yet solemn Buddhist golden light lit up the living room of Matou's family.

"At that time, the Buddha told the Bodhisattva and the four gods and humans: 'I have prayed for the Lotus Sutra for countless times in the past. I have never been tired. Among the many, I have always been a king. I have made vows to seek the superior Bodhi. My mind will not turn back. .”

"At that time, the World Honored One reiterated this meaning and said a verse——"

After a month of repeated recitation, Shen Er became very familiar with this scripture engraved in the relic, and he became more and more comfortable 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 stream went up along the left arm, flowed through most of the body, and finally converged on the right shoulder to fight the curse. The other stream passed directly through the overlapping palms, inserted straight into the right wrist, and directly attacked the starting point of the curse.

Attacking from the front and back, a two-pronged approach, within a month, the vicious curse developed by "White Wings" specifically for magicians was firmly sealed in the right arm, preventing any movement.

What's even more magical is that whenever a part is about to rot, Buddha's light will act on this part from the outside, gradually restoring it to its original appearance. Because of this, his right arm, which had been eroded by the curse for a month, did not lose its function.

Watching the black stinky meat in front of her slowly change back to its original color, Lorelaia finally let go of half of her hanging heart, but the other half was because - "This is only a temporary relief, the curse is still entrenched in your body, Do you plan to continue like this?"

After reciting the scripture once, Shenji shook his head. Before he could speak, a black shadow emerged from under the cloak and climbed up Shenji's red and black mottled right arm in an instant.

It wasn't until this moment that everyone could clearly see the true form of the black shadow.

This is a cat that can be held up by two hands. The fur is black and shiny, without a trace of color, and a pair of beautiful eyes are brighter than the finest soapstone.

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

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

"Ah——" Sakura exclaimed, subconsciously trying 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 not a drop of blood flowed out, and Shen Er's face did not show any pain.

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 were a noble lady who had finished her meal.

Then he brushed Shenji's cheek with his tail. He jumped off his right arm with light steps, found the most comfortable position on the sofa and lay down, closed his eyes, and seemed to fall into a deep sleep.

"This is -?" Lorelaia asked.

"This is the companion that the poor monk met on his journey." Shen Er kept his hands clasped together, which was quite solemn.

"elder brother?"

"Shinji?"

The sudden change in 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 like I haven't dealt with Buddhist monks before. None of them are like you. It's too artificial."

When challenged by Lorelaia, Shinji's disguise as a treasure was immediately broken.

"Is it artificial? I always thought that eminent monks should be like this. Didn't you see that Monk Tang said this in "Journey to the West"? The poor monk came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty and went to the West to obtain the true scriptures. Moreover, Look at me with such a bald head, it would be too unreasonable not to play the role of a monk for once."

Hearing such nonsense, Lorelaiya's face was full of helplessness: "Can you get Buddhist inheritance like this?"

"Maybe this is the reason why I have a destiny with the Buddha." Shenji said perfunctorily while winking at Sakura - the matter of the relics was kept secret.

Sakura blinked - Got it, brother.

Lorelaia didn't notice the little moves between the brothers and sisters, and said thoughtfully: "These words have a bit of a Buddhist meaning, but Buddhism is stricter than the Holy Church in some aspects. Are you willing to abide by those rules and regulations?"

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

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

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

"There is no difference in the first place." Shenji chuckled, "And even if it is true, it doesn't matter. At worst, he will become a monk who breaks the precepts, a monk who eats meat and wine."

"Shenji, you are blaspheming the Buddha."

Crane also lectured 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 demonic family like the Matou family is no exception.

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

"Then you understand?" He said angrily.

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

Crane replied: "This is your hand."

Shen Er shook his head for the second time: "No, this is the Buddha's hand."

He was also puzzled: "Why do you say that?"

"I'll answer this question for you later, and I'll ask you again, what is this?" Shenji said and stretched out a foot.

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

Shinji still shook his head. "No, these are pig's feet."

Heya 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 living beings, and everyone can become a Buddha. So whether I say I am a Buddha or a pig, there is no exaltation or belittlement, and there is no blasphemy. .Furthermore, doesn’t Buddhism emphasize that all dharmas are empty, colorless, and immeasurable? In this case, why bother to stick to the rules and precepts? As the saying goes, ‘when meat and wine pass through the intestines, the Buddha sits in the heart.’ Being attached to wine and meat is actually a sign of obsession. Xiang, fell behind."

"I can't tell that you are still studying Buddhism and plan to join Buddhism in the future?"

Regarding Lorelaia's question, Shinji naturally denied it: "How is it possible? I am protected by you and El-Meloy in the Clock Tower, and my life is so comfortable that I am too lazy to leave - it's just, I will always travel around the world in the future, and in East and Southeast Asia, the identity of a Buddhist monk is more useful than a magician."

"That's true." Lorelaiya believed deeply, "Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's talk about this black cat. How did you find it? Familiar that can swallow curses are rare even in the mythical age. .”

"Hmm, um, I want to know too. It looks very cute." Sakura followed suit and wanted to go up and touch the black cat, but was afraid of waking it up.

"I didn't look for it, it looked for me."

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