Kanagawa Taoist College Students

"Xiao Lu, you have already studied this painting. Have you found anything?" After hanging up the phone from Fiana Suzuki, Li Xuehao focused his attention on the Thousand-Armed Guanyin picture on the low table on the tatami.

"Speaking of discovery..." Midori Sawai hesitated, and pointed the tip of his slender index finger at Guanyin in the picture. The portrait of Guanyin is very detailed, and even the two mustaches on the lips are extremely expressive, and this is exactly What she couldn't figure out was, "I remember Guanyin is a woman, but she has a beard..."

"Xiao Lu, I think you have misunderstood. Guanyin is actually a man." Li Xuehao understood her doubts, because the female form of Guanyin is the most popular among people, but the fact is exactly the opposite. Guanyin is a man, and the female form is only adapted to the needs of the world. What appears is not the true gender.

"Male?" Midori Sawai was stunned when she heard this. She had previously thought that the two mustaches on the portrait of Guanyin were meant to remind someone of something, or that this was the key point of the entire portrait, but now she realized that she was wrong.

"Well, there is no doubt that Avalokitesvara is male." Li Xuehao pointed to the portrait and continued, "Thousand-hand Avalokitesvara has two forms. One is that it actually has 1,000 hands, and there is an eye on the palm of each hand. , and the arrangement of thousands of hands is like a peacock spreading its tail behind it. Another method has only 42 hands. Except for the two central hands clasped together, there are 20 hands on the left and right, each hand represents 25, and there are also various hands on the palms. With one eye, 40 times 25 is 1,000, so it is also called Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes Guanyin.”

Sawai Midori nodded repeatedly when he heard this. The Thousand-Armed Guanyin statue in front of him was the second type of Buddhist statue. It had only forty-two hands, each holding a weapon.

Because it is not a dharma image of 1,000 hands, it is relatively simple. As long as you observe it carefully, if there is any secret, it will be easier to discover.

However, after Li Xuehao read it again, he did not find any secrets in it. He even looked through his "Dharma Eye" and only confirmed that it was an ordinary portrait.

Perhaps because this is a photocopy, even if there is a secret in it, it will probably only be in the original version.

"Koji, did you find anything?" Seeing him staring at the portrait for a while, Sawai Midori asked.

"No." Li Xuehao shook his head and expressed his guess.

"Do you want me to tell Fiana and ask her to send the original version?" Midori Sawai actually wanted to see the original version, because no matter how similar the photocopied version is, it is not as valuable for research as the original version.

"No, Xiaolu, let's talk about it when we have time next time." Li Xuehao wasn't very interested in what Suzuki Fiana said about becoming a Buddha, because he knew it was impossible, and he could only rest at home for one day tomorrow. , I will go to South Korea the day after tomorrow, and I don’t have time to study it.

"Yeah." Midori Sawai saw that he was not interested, so he stopped mentioning it, "By the way, you are going to South Korea for your next summer plan, right?"

"Yes, do you have any Korean specialties you want to buy?" Li Xuehao asked.

"Forget about Korean things. If you go to Korea, you will also go to China. Help me buy some Chinese specialties." Midori Sawai said excitedly.

"What do you want?" Li Xuehao asked.

"Hmm... I want to buy books about Chinese Taoism." Sawai Midori must have done a lot of work, at least the word "Taoism" coming out of her mouth is correct.

"What do you want that for?" Li Xuehao looked at him strangely.

"I want to know how China's 'Onmyoji' deal with ghosts." Midori Sawai said.

Li Xuehao's eyes looked even weirder. It was useless to deal with ghosts by reading Taoist books. Sawai Midori didn't know where he heard about this matter, and he didn't know much about it. But since she wanted it, he naturally Will help her buy it: "No problem, I will buy it for you when you go to China."

The two chatted for a while, and seeing that the time was almost up, Li Xuehao said goodbye.

When we got home, lunch was almost ready. Yuki Majima and Mai Kuanao had already placed the dishes prepared by Sayuri Chiba on the dining table one by one.

Because there were more than a dozen people in the family, there was no room for one dining table, and there was no second dining table, so I moved the long table used as a cooking table in the kitchen and made a temporary large dining table.

Sawai Yuko happily picked out the gifts and piled them in a corner, ready to take them home after dinner.

"Brother Koji, you are going to South Korea the day after tomorrow. Can you take me with you?" Sawai Yuko walked up to him, probably because she had just heard about the plan mentioned by Mai Kuanao and others, and she was full of expectations. said.

"You should just stay at home honestly. You have a lot of homework to do during the summer vacation." Li Xuehao put a hand on her head. The little girl always wanted to go out and did not consider the actual situation.

"Brother Koji, please, take me with you." Sawai Yuko tightly hugged his hand on his head, "You will be going for a long time this time. I heard Sister Mai said that you won't be there until the end of the summer vacation. I will miss you when I come back. If I miss you too much, I will die, so take me there, okay?" At the end of the sentence, he had a completely pitiful expression.

"It's useless to beg me." Li Xuehao knew that the pitiful expression she showed was entirely a reflection of her "acting skills". In order to achieve her goal, the little girl had no problem with acting at all.

"Oh~~~" Tears flashed in Sawai Yuko's eyes, as if he would cry immediately if he didn't agree.

"Nai-chan, it will be more lively if one more person goes there, and it's okay if Yuko-chan goes too." Mai Kuabao came over and hugged Sawai Yuko. She didn't know what kind of mysterious soup the little girl had just poured into her.

Li Xuehao couldn't laugh or cry: "Sister Mai, you have to know that it's not that simple for Yuko to go with us. First, her parents must agree, and her sister must agree. Also, preparing national travel vouchers is also a troublesome thing. One day Can time solve it?”

"If mom and dad agree, and I have the national travel vouchers ready, can I go with you, Brother Koji?" Sawai Yuko, who was about to cry, suddenly asked.

"You need your sister's consent." Li Xuehao added, because he knew Midori Sawai would not agree, and the little girl would not be able to pass this level.

Sure enough, Sawai Yuko hesitated, seeming to have thought that her sister's test would not be so easy, but she did not give up because of this: "What if my sister also agrees?"

"Then let's go together, Yuko-chan." Before Li Xuehao could say anything, Mai Guasheng kissed Sawai Yuko on the face, and she agreed on his behalf.

"Okay! It's settled." Sawai Yuko became happy.

"By the way, Nai-chan, Princess Yoko and Princess Reiko are also going with us." Mai Kuaou said again.

"They are also going together?" Li Xuehao looked at the two people who were talking to Mizuno Ning Ning and Aragaki Yuma. They are princesses of the royal family. They are born with political attributes. Is it really okay to travel abroad casually?
