Shikigami Cultivation Guide

At this time, the little monk in the temple ran over, bowed to Qingfangzhu with his hands together, and said pantingly: "Master Fangzhu, the abbot said that he has something important to see you, please make sure to go there now." Looking at the Butterfly Spirit who was healing the patient, he added, "It won't take up too much of your time."

Master Qingfang nodded, and said to Butterfly Jing, "Xiaodie, I'll leave it to you first, is that okay?"

"Please don't worry, Mr. Fangzhu!" Butterfly Jing blinked her eyes and said, her eyebrows and eyes were curved.

Qingfangzhu followed the monk's footsteps, passed the long stone road and winding corridors, and finally came to the abbot's house.The little monk bowed to him and quietly retreated.

This place is beautiful, it should be said that it is the most quiet and peaceful place in the whole temple, with sparse flowers and trees, shaded by vegetation, winding paths leading to secluded places, gurgling water, and exquisite rockery.There is a long wooden aisle under the verandah. Sitting on the aisle and eating fruits and vegetables in hot summer is something to enjoy.The door of the abbot's house is facing the flowing water and rockery.

As soon as Qing Fangzhu arrived, he heard a clear and warm sound coming from the house, like a river gurgling in summer.

"Master Fangzhu, please come in."

Master Qingfang pushed open the door, and saw a monk with a full white beard sitting cross-legged in the room, with a solemn and serene expression. Seeing him coming, his eyes shone brightly, and he looked at him with a slight smile.

The house is very clean, there is only one soft couch and two futons, a quiet landscape painting is hung on the western wall, a small incense burner and some scripture tea sets are placed on the horizontal wooden long and low table, nothing else .

"Master Abbot." Master Qingfang put his hands together and bowed.

The monk still smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said: "Please sit down, the reason for inviting Master Fang to come here today is because we have important matters to discuss."

Qingfangzhu sat on the futon, facing the monk.There is a faint scent of sandalwood in the air, the sound of running water outside the house is gurgling, and the sound of birds chirping can be heard occasionally. The atmosphere is gentle and quiet.

"Please tell me." Qing Fangzhu said, the brim of the hat covered his eyes, but he could still feel the vaguely oppressive aura emanating from him.

After all, it is a monster, no matter how restrained it is, it will always leak something from the subtle details.

The monk took a pot of tea from a low table, poured two cups of tea into the cup, and pushed one of the cups towards Aobozu, saying, "The petals taken from the most luxuriant cherry blossom tree in spring are used in the best way in winter." The cherry blossom tea brewed from the snow water on the cold snow-capped mountains, I hope Master Fang will not dislike it."

Master Qingfang took the cherry blossom tea, took a sip, and said, "It's really good tea, but I don't know why the abbot came here today?"

Not just for tea.

The monk put down his tea, still smiling at Master Qingfang, and said, "Master Fangzhu, how long has it been since you came to our temple?"

"Three years and three months." Master Qingfang replied.

"Ah...it's been so long." The monk sighed as if talking to himself naturally, rubbing the cherry blossom colored porcelain teacup with his white hand, "Master Fangzhu has been in our temple for three years and three months. Evil ghosts, if someone asks for help, they will definitely help, and they have a deep understanding of Buddhism, even though they are monsters, they are really rare, rare!"

Qing Fangzhu lowered his head slightly, the brim of his hat covered his quiet and deep eyes.

"The abbot has given you too much credit."

The abbot's voice suddenly dropped.

"Master Fangzhu, do you really just want to be a chief monk in the temple? Three years have passed, and there are still ten or twenty years to come. Is your purpose really limited to this?"

Qingfangzhu didn't answer, the sunny, quiet and peaceful atmosphere just now suddenly became heavy.

The abbot smiled slightly, and he took a sip of the cherry blossom tea and said, "Master Fangzhu, although I am a human being, I have some experience in being a human being. Whether you are a human or a monster, sometimes you might as well be honest. Maybe you can achieve your own goals after being honest. Purpose. I am not an old-fashioned person."

Master Qingfang said: "Thank you abbot for being enlightened, but I don't have any special purpose. It's just that I have been a demon for a long time, and I feel lonely in my heart, just want to find a safe place."

The abbot put down the tea, and his voice suddenly condensed.

"I'm afraid that's not the case, Mr. Fangzhu. Although I'm a human being, I'm not so easy to fool. In three years, my lord has thoroughly explored the top, bottom, left, and right sides of my temple. I guess there is nothing you don't know, my lord. Except My lord, where did you not check carefully?"

The abbot stared at Aobozu with sharp eyes like knives.

"I'm being abrupt."

The abbot said: "I don't mean to blame your lord, I know your purpose, my lord, and I invite you here this time to fulfill your lord."

He speaks neither fast nor slow, and his voice is clear and gentle, giving people a feeling of spring breeze, which makes people trust him unconsciously.

Master Qingfang looked directly at the abbot and said, "Are you really willing to give me that thing?"

The abbot said: "Master Fangzhu, do you really know what that is?"

"know."

"It once caused countless monsters who pursued it to experience unspeakable pain. They were trapped in its tower for eternity and could never get out. Even so, are you still determined to get it?"

"Yes."

"Even if you will die for it, you will never regret it?"

"If I don't get it, I will regret it."

The monk let out a long sigh.

"It's all evil fate, it's all evil fate...!"

"Lord abbot, I have been here for three years to find out the whereabouts of that thing. I know that if you don't gain your trust, even if it destroys this temple and takes your life, you are not willing to tell me the clues." Here, I assure you that after I get that thing, I will never use it to harm the world." Qing Fangzhu said, his words were calm and his expression was firm.

"Master Fangzhu's obsession is as deep as the sea, and he is a demon with a noble temperament, and he is also a Buddhist monk. I have to admire it, and there is no reason to hide the whereabouts of that thing from you. But there are some things I have to advise you. If you can Letting go of your obsessions is the best!"

"That thing is the best magic weapon in the world. It only pursues absolute power. In order to find the strongest monsters, it even built a monster tower for itself, and used the tower to select people who can use it. But 800 years have passed, None of the monsters who entered the tower came out, how cruel! Even so, you want to enter the tower?"

The monk looked at him with sorrowful eyes.

Master Qingfang's eyes were determined, and he said: "If you don't enter this tower, you won't get this thing. I wish to be wiped out!"

The abbot was shocked, and blurted out, "Is strength really so important to you?"

I saw Master Qingfang closed his eyes, shook his head lightly and said: "No, I don't want to get this thing for power."

"What does Master Fang want?" the abbot couldn't help asking.

"The most important person in my life." Qing Fangzhu said, his expression could not help but feel a little lonely.

The abbot didn't ask any more questions, just said: "Master Fangzhu, please come here, and I will give you the clue."

Qingfangzhu walked over.

"Wait here a moment, please," he said, and went into the back room.

When the abbot came out, he was holding a tray firmly in his hand. Inside the tray were a few silver needles and a golden liquid in a porcelain cup.

The abbot knelt on the futon and said to Master Qingfang, "Master Fangzhu, please take off your shirt."

Qingfangzhu quietly took off the monk's robe on his upper body, revealing his body with smooth texture and lines. Because he has been wearing monk's robe all year round, his skin color tends to be fair.

The host said: "It may hurt a little."

"It's okay."

The abbot put the silver needle in the golden liquid and twirled it around, and then pierced Aobozu's left half of his body.A sharp stabbing pain suddenly came from the place where the needle tip touched the flesh, Master Qing Fang endured it and did not make a sound.

Gradually, clear golden lines appeared on Qing Fangzhu's left half of his body, delicate and revealing an indescribable evil spirit.

The abbot who performed the acupuncture was already sweating profusely, he focused on the golden lines, and then stabbed down on the body.

"Master Fangzhu, this is the Buddha's mantra. The thing that was left in the temple back then, the monster that was engraved with the Buddha's mantra has the qualification to be summoned into the pagoda by that thing." The abbot said, and then carved the next needle.

"Ah...ha...why is it so rampant?" Master Qingfang asked in pain.

The hand of the abbot who inserted the needle stopped, probably a little surprised to hear this slightly childish question, and then he lowered his voice and replied, "Maybe it's because it's very powerful."

Qingfangzhu didn't reply.

Strong, can it be like this?

The acupuncture lasted for a whole afternoon, and finally the abbot used up all the golden liquid in the porcelain cup, and was so tired that he was sweating profusely.The left half of Aobozu's body is covered with golden evil lines, and when the arm moves up and down, it will bring out a bewitching arc.

Master Qingfang put on the monk's uniform, but he couldn't cover the lines that spread all the way to his neck.

He put his hands together again and bowed to the abbot, saying: "Thank you, abbot."

The abbot shook his head and said, "My lord, from now on, everything will be safe. When that thing remembers, it will summon people to enter the tower. Once entering the tower, it is almost impossible to recover."

Aobozu smiled slightly, his smile was like cherry blossoms in March.

"I'm looking forward to it."

Sitting in the house, the abbot watched the sound of Qing Fangzhu leaving, looked at the exquisite rockery and flowing spring outside the house, suddenly sighed very lightly, looked up at the blue sky slightly and murmured: "wishing all the best."
