Chapter 16 Section VI

Half an hour later, the monk reappeared in front of the three people watching the moon. In the moonlight, the monk looked at Qingming with some embarrassment, and remained silent. "How do you feel?" Sunny asked. "Finally, my wish has come true. However, Master Qingming, to be honest, one really cannot easily become a Buddha or an immortal." His tone sounded refreshed. The monk scratched his head and said: "Although I wanted to delve into Buddhism and immortality, I didn't expect that I could only become..." "Become what?" "Become mortal."

The old monk bowed his head to Qingming and begged: "I'm sorry, sir, please go to a place a little deeper in the Western Mountains. You should find my body there. It doesn't matter whether you want to burn it or bury it. Please ask your lord to help me dispose of it." "OK." Hearing Seimei's response, the monk bowed again. The monk bowed and saluted repeatedly, then his figure gradually faded, and finally melted into the darkness and disappeared. All around are the cedar branches in the moonlight, rustling and fluttering in the wind. "Let's go, let's go back."

Seimei urges everyone to enter the room.Entering the wise monk's room and looking, of course, the old monk and the dancer could no longer be found. "Should we be able to tell the truth now?" Seimei said to Zhizhi who had been silent all along. "Yes." Wisely nodded. "Master Seimei must have known the details, but I should confess this matter myself." Zhizhi squatted down, opened his quilt, and took out a scroll from underneath. Light the lamp, and wisely unfold the scroll in the light.On the silk, there is a painting. "This is..." Boya blurted out.

What is depicted on the screen is the dancer who just appeared in the monk's room. "I'm ashamed to say it, but to tell you the truth, although I am a monk, I still can't cut off my longing for women. Therefore, after reciting the "Zunsheng Dharani Sutra" every night, I always look at this painting. So I was really shocked when she appeared in front of me just now. Although it was only a painting, probably because I heard the "Zunsheng Dharani Sutra" every night, it also happened unconsciously. Soul. Just now, the monk was also attracted by the "Zunsheng Dharani Sutra" and came here. When I was blaspheming, he happened to see the beautiful woman in the painting, so he fell in love with her secretly." Zhizhi said in a low voice .

"However, it is unlikely that the souls of monks who live elsewhere will come here alone." Seimei responded. "This means..." "In the past few days, has anything unusual happened to you..." Seimei looked around while talking, and then seemed to find something on the floor, and reached out to pick it up. "Yes." What Seimei picked up from the floor turned out to be the dead body of a black butterfly. "That's exactly it. Probably let this dying butterfly carry its own soul and fly here." "I remembered. In the past few days, I have seen this butterfly unable to fly in the monk's room."

No flesh and blood, only bones and strange body hair that are different from ordinary people, and something with two wings on his body... "It turned out to be a butterfly." Qingming murmured. "Then, let's go, Boya." Qingming stood up. "where to?" "The west of the monk's room..." Qingming was about to step out of the monk's room—— "Thank you very much, I don't know what gift to give..." Mingzhi asked Qingming. "No." After finishing speaking, after thinking for a while, Seimei spoke again. "By the way, if you want, can you give me this painting? This winter, I need a Shikigami to help me take care of the trivial things around me."

Seimei picked up the gentian flowers from the floor, and put them gently into her arms. "Of course, please accept it, my lord." Taking the scroll from Zhizhi's hand, Qingming put the scroll in his arms and stepped out of the monk's room to the moonlight. The dancer just now appeared in front of my eyes. "Let's go, Boya, this dancer seems to be willing to lead the way for us." As soon as Qingming finished speaking, Wuru took the lead and took the lead.
