There was a faint noise at the end of the quiet alley, and I stood up and looked at the potted plant. The translucent creature with illusion was gone, and I didn't know exactly what they were trying to say.

All I can say is that there are more and more Riddlers now.

Rubbing my sour eyes, I squinted out of the alley.

It didn't seem to be long in the run, the outside world was still noisy, and there were groups of big-eyed balls up and down.

It seems like I haven't seen the cold in a long time.

I asked for directions again and continued walking towards Daiden-ji Temple.

Actually, I didn't really want to enter the holy city, but I thought that if it was really a "real holy city" and there was a Buddhist gate, maybe I could locate the location of my home through the high-tech of the Buddhist gate.

Actually, it's not a long road, but there are so many butterflies along the way—or images of butterflies—that it's hard for me to get close to the temple smoothly. There's no way I'm going to leave with my eyes closed, can I?

When I saw the spire of the building, which seemed to be full of Buddha's light, I faintly heard a strange sound in my ears.

I followed the sound and looked up and saw where it was coming from.

On the neon sign overhead, a strange small creature is parked.

It looks a bit like a mouse, but there are fleshy wings on both arms, and there are mechanical devices where the head should be. The strange sound came from the mechanism, what seemed to be the cacophony of electricity, but mixed with the sound of flesh twitching.

"......" I blinked, this thing was a little too evil from any angle.

"Oh, you're here." There was a demonic voice around him. "Well, there's the Great Electric Music Temple right up in front of you—well, what are you looking at?"

It followed my gaze towards the thing.

"Oh, this is Kalingbanga. Jialing Pingga, also known as Miaoyin Bird, was originally a kind of sacred bird in Buddhist legends. It is said to have a beautiful sound and is as graceful as a song. The demon looked at the creature that seemed to have a camera and a megaphone on its head, and introduced: "The Dharma Sutra says: "In the valleys and wilderness, there are many Kaling Pinga, and there are wonderful sounds, such as beautiful sounds, if the heavens are like people, Jinnara and other incompetent people, except for the Buddha's words." Miaoyin Tianmo simulates the singing voice of Jialing Pinga and plays the "Jialing Pinga Song". After the Buddha's Nirvana, he heard that his disciple Ananda passed on to future generations and became one of the "Eight Pleasures of Linyi". Its image is often the body of a human head bird, resembling a crane, colorful feathers, wings open, slender legs, wearing a boy crown or a bodhisattva crown, standing on a lotus or orchestra pit platform, some open their wings to lead the neck to sing and dance, and some hold musical instruments to play. ”

The devil is a literate demon at first glance, and opening his mouth is an allusion.

But this image ......

I squinted my eyes and looked at what seemed to be a rat with fleshy wings that had taken the head of a smart machine, and it didn't look like a "human-headed bird body" or "shaped like a crane"?

And the wings are not colorful, but there are some shiny reflections, which do look a little special under the neon lights that can be seen everywhere in the Holy City.

"But that's all in the past. The Miaoyin Bird of the past is not the Miaoyin Bird of the present. The demon seemed to see my doubts: "The Miaoyin Bird you see now was cultivated by the later Buddhist restoration texts - by the way, didn't I tell you about biochemical transformation before?" Part of the reason for the formation of this trend in the Holy City is because of it. ”

I nodded, and I can only say that I don't know much about your Buddhism.

But I can understand the reasoning, after all, I knew about the sheep and the original sheep before.

Therefore, the name of a thing is not important, it is just a title and may even bring disaster. What they are is the key thing. ”

"Hmm...... Can you tell me about the origins of Buddhism? I furrowed my brow and pulled away from the subject.

Judging from the previous dialogue, the demon seems to be a member of the original Buddhist sect, but for some reason, he now calls himself a demon. Maybe it will know something from the past.
