Chapter 102: Copying Books (Seeking Collection, Seeking Push)
"Because the user of the dark arts has a disgusting skill."
"What?"
"Sacrifice!"
"Sacrifice?! You mean......"
"Yes, use human sacrifices to summon demons from hell! It's a creature that's different from the monsters, the weak ones may be very weak, and they're stronger than the ghosts, but the strong ones may not even be comparable to the legendary monsters like the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox and the Great Tengu! I had fought a demon summoned by a dark magic user in the late Muromachi shogunate, and the damage to it from the general form of yin-yang magic could be said to be very weak, and the restraint effect of tantric spells was not strong. ”
"Hey, you're worried that the murderer might summon a demon?" Qin Heqing gasped when he heard this, and exhaled in a low voice.
"No one can say for sure. After all, most of the time, demons are not recognized by their six relatives, as long as the black magic envoy is not stupid, or the inheritance is relatively complete, he will not rashly summon demons to come to the world. ”
"......, that's not really good news." Qin Heqing was silent for a long time, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"But you don't need to worry too much, after all, there are tall people on top of the sky when the sky falls, and if something really happens, it won't be your turn to deal with it as a half-priest." Seeing this, Yue'er couldn't help but comfort again.
"How?" Qin Heqing's eyes lit up and he asked.
"You don't think you're the only priest in this world, do you?" Yue'er asked with a smile.
"How so? I'm not stupid. Not to mention the shrine maiden I saw that day, and the psychic master I met in such and such a building, just the information you occasionally reveal can tell that there are other inheritances in this world. Not to mention the existence of well-known shrines at the level of large shrines such as Ise Jingu, Kyoto Inari Shrine, Daikoku Shrine, and Izumo Taisha, and it is impossible to have a little good thing after thousands of years of inheritance, right? Qin Heqing smiled, spread his hands and said in a speechless defense.
"It's okay, I'm not carried away by the current results. Yes, there is a great inheritance in those shrines. So if something really goes wrong, the old guys in those shrines will jump out to help the government solve the problem, so you don't have to worry about what you don't have at all, you can live your life how you want, and you don't have to think about anything else. ”
"I just said, how can there be no corresponding institutions and constraints at the national level? Otherwise, it would be impossible for the social environment to remain so stable and lasting with such a rampant supernatural phenomenon. Qin Heqing exhaled a long breath and said proudly as if my guess was really right.
"Look at you proudly, have you copied the Heart Sutra?" Yue'er couldn't see Qin Heqing's appearance, and said quietly and lightly.
"Uh......" Qin Heqing's expression suddenly froze, and he was speechless.
Fortunately, Qin Heqing did not have a way to change the topic, so soon, by reminding Yue'er to help make talisman weapons, Qin Heqing temporarily avoided the trouble of copying the Heart Sutra, took things with Yue'er, and embarked on the journey home.
Yes, home, back to home in Shinza City.
After all, all the good things are stored over there, so as long as you don't want the things you bought at a lot of money this time to be made into defective products, then you have to go back this time!
I also took this opportunity to go to Mr. Tsunoda's place and buy some things for making talismans again.
……
Half an hour later, Qin Heqing and Yue'er returned to their home in Xinza City.
Qin Heqing took out all the things that Yue'er needed from the utility room and handed them to Yue'er, so he didn't bother Yue'er anymore, and left home by himself to go to Mr. Tsunoda's grocery store to buy the things he needed.
"Qin Jun is here, please come in, please come in." Mr. Tsunoda, who saw Qin Heqing, greeted warmly.
"Excuse me, Mr. Tsunoda, I want to buy another batch of yellow paper and cinnabar, I wonder if you still have it in stock here?" Qin Heqing greeted politely and asked straight to the point.
As a general store, Mr. Tsunoda not only has some of the latest products and various local specialty snacks on the market, but also sells items such as yellow paper and cinnabar that are not sold in non-specialty stores, so both the ancestors, that is, Qin Heqing's original father, and the current Qin Kazuki, all use Mr. Tsunoda's grocery store as their own purchase channel, and buy certain regular items needed by the shrine from him.
"Yes, yes, you wait for me to get it for you." So saying, Mr. Tsunoda walked to the corner of the grocery store, and took out a large dozen of uncut yellow paper and bags of cinnabar from an inconspicuous place.
"Do you think that's enough?"
"Enough. How much? Qin Heqing checked it and asked after feeling good.
Tsunoda did not hesitate and quickly said a number.
Qin Heqing did not refute, bought a few more things from Mr. Tsunoda, transferred the payment, and returned home with the purchased materials.
"Finished buying?" Yue'er's voice, who heard the door knocking, suddenly sounded in the house.
"Yes." Qin Heqing replied casually.
"Then copy the Heart Sutra, I'll check it later, if I don't see anything by then, don't blame me for not saving face for you."
"Uh...... As for this? Qin Heqing slumped his shoulders and said speechlessly with a stretched face.
It's just that Yue'er didn't pay attention to him this time, so in desperation, Qin Heqing could only put things away, went back to the house and took out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, sat down at the coffee table, adjusted the ink, laid the paper, and turned on the mobile phone to call up the text content of the Japanese version of the Heart Sutra, while picking up the brush, and writing on the white paper with ink one by one-
"When the Bodhisattva of Freedom is in the depths of Prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he overcomes all suffering. Relics, the color is not different from the emptiness, the emptiness is not different from the color, the color is empty, the emptiness is the color, and the same is true when you want to do it. The relics are the empty phase of all the laws, neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor pure, neither increased nor decreased......"
One stroke at a time, although it is crooked, it is not difficult to see that he has good brush skills, which is much stronger than ordinary people.
But I'm tired a lot.
After all, the way of grasping the pen for writing with a brush in the island country is completely different from the way of grasping the pen in China, but it is the same posture as when using a hard pen, pencil and fountain pen, so it is relatively simple and light to control the pen. Qin and Qing are different, he uses the orthodox way of grasping the pen in China, so not only the fingers are uncomfortable, but the wrists, arms, and shoulders are also not easy.
But no problem, who called Qin Heqing to learn this way of grabbing the pen.
So coupled with Yue'er's request-
Yes, Yue'er's request. Because according to her, this way of grasping the pen is more conducive to the depiction of the seal, so not only is there a strict requirement for grasping the pen to write, but whenever she makes a mistake, she will also punish him by copying the book, so that he can remember it for a long time.
So whenever possible, Qin and Qing didn't want to be punished by Yue'er.
Because it was really an invisible torture from the body to the mind, and the truth was not something that ordinary people could withstand.
But the effect is also surprisingly good, basically all the items that have been punished, Qin Heqing can firmly remember and master, which is also the fundamental reason why he was able to go from a clueless priest to a priest practitioner who can pass the priest assessment in just half a year.
So although Qin Heqing was very unhappy, he had to accept such a punishment and work hard to improve and restrain himself.
And this copy took more than two hours, and the time came to the evening in a blink of an eye......
