The "thing" given by the Nightmare Demon Lord was certainly not Fist of the North Star.
However, even after studying it for a long time, Liao Zhiyuan still couldn't figure out its specific use.
Finally, Sister-in-law Yingchun hesitated for a moment before speaking up to remind him, "Quantum, I think your thinking is wrong."
"According to what you said, that ghost Buddha is a high-ranking Buddhist monk, while the saying 'the Southern Dipper is born, the Northern Dipper dies' is a Taoist saying."
"In orthodox Buddhism, the Big Dipper ritual is one of the practices of esoteric Buddhism."
"It is a method of worshipping the Big Dipper, which is based on the seven stars of the Big Dipper and is used to prolong life or ward off disasters such as natural disasters and diseases. It is also called the Big Dipper Offering or the Big Dipper Venerable Star King Method."
"Huh?!" Yingchun's words surprised both Zhao Youliang and Liao Zhiyuan.
"Sis, how did you know all this? Did you study it before?!"
When asked, Sister Yingchun looked blank and said, "I...I haven't learned it."
"But these things are like they're in my head, I just know them naturally."
"Oh, by the way, I also sensed a Buddhist classic on you. Could you show it to me?"
Yingchun's sister-in-law was one of Zhao Youliang's most trusted people. Upon hearing this, she took out the "Record of Heartless Buddhist Worship" that she always carried with her without hesitation.
Under the lamplight, Sister Yingchun read each page very carefully, and even as she read, a faint light seemed to appear.
After watching for a while, Sister Yingchun took out a new notebook and started writing something rapidly while reading.
Each time I put pen to paper, white lotuses bloom, chanting sutras.
"this......"
Upon seeing this, Zhao Youliang and Liao Zhiyuan stared at each other in astonishment, mouths agape, speechless for a long time.
By the time the two boys came to their senses, Sister-in-law Yingchun had already finished reading the entire "Notes on Unintentional Buddhist Worship," and her new notebook was two-thirds full.
Wiping the glistening sweat from her forehead, Sister Yingchun began to speak.
"Quantum, Master Wuxin truly deserves to be called a living Buddha of our time. I benefited greatly from reading it."
As she spoke, Sister Yingchun stood up and performed a standard Buddhist salute to the book "The Story of Wuxin's Buddhist Practices".
"Namo Wuxin Dafo, Buddha of Compassion."
After the ceremony, Sister-in-law Yingchun continued, "Quantum, if any academic discipline wants to flourish and continue, there is never a single opinion; it is always a hundred schools of thought contending."
"Although the Heartless Buddha is compassionate and saves all beings, my sister also has her own insights into Buddhist rituals."
"These are my thoughts after reading them. You can use them to study and perhaps you can more easily understand the Zen teachings of the Living Buddha Wuxin."
Looking at the notebook handed to him by Sister Yingchun, and the white lotuses that kept appearing on it, Zhao Youliang almost wondered if he was dreaming.
"Sister, who exactly are you...?"
Before Zhao Youliang could finish speaking, Sister Yingchun slowly shook her head.
"Don't ask about quantum mechanics. I really don't know, and I don't want to recall the past."
"Alright, I'm a little tired, I'll head back first. You and Xiao Liao can tidy up the shop."
After saying that, Sister Yingchun smiled sweetly at Zhao Youliang, then took off her apron and sleeves and headed towards her home.
After Sister Yingchun walked away, Egg Boy, who had been on Zhao Youliang's head the whole time, suddenly spoke up.
The voice was still weak and feeble: "Quantum, Sister Yingchun is emitting golden light, just like Uncle Wuxin, they are both emitting a lot of light."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Youliang asked in surprise, "Egg Boy, are you talking about Buddha's Light?"
"Hmm!" Chang Jie nodded listlessly.
"It's midnight now. I'm not blind anymore, so I can see."
Upon receiving Chang Jie's affirmative reply, Zhao Youliang's mind raced: "Buddha's light shines everywhere... Could it be that Sister Yingchun is also a Buddha?!"
Wait, Eggboy just said he can see now, it's midnight, midnight...
Holy crap, this is terrible! I haven't even offered incense to the coffin yet!!
With that thought in mind, Zhao Youliang took off running towards the paper-making shop, saying, "Xiao Liao, you clean up yourself. I need to go back and offer incense!"
"Oh my god, I hope we make it in time! Please, please, let nothing else go wrong!!"
Fortunately, when Zhao Youliang ran back, the shop was unchanged, and even warmer than usual.
All of this is because of one person, Chang Huaiyuan, the Dragon King of the Northern Kingdom, who never left.
Upon seeing this "peerless and independent" man, Zhao Youliang instinctively wanted to kowtow, but Chang Huaiyuan stopped him with a smile.
Chang Jie flew up with tears in his eyes, and after being hugged by Chang Huaiyuan, he kept rubbing his chubby little head against him affectionately.
"Uncle, you've come to visit the quantum family?"
"Quantum has been treating me well; I've been giving myself plenty of cigarettes lately."
As he spoke, Chang Jie took out a cheap cigarette and tried to put it into Chang Huaiyuan's mouth.
Fortunately, Zhao Youliang reacted quickly and snatched the cigarette away.
Then, feeling guilty and embarrassed, he said, "Don't be silly, Eggboy, Old Master Chang doesn't smoke..."
"Oh, by the way, Patriarch Chang, is there something you need from me? Please have a seat, I'll go make some tea right away!"
Seeing Zhao Youliang busy, the master of Wanlong Mountain did not stop him. Instead, he held Chang Jie in his arms and sat down in a chair, chatting softly about everyday things.
"Xiao Jie, you've accumulated quite a bit of good karma since you started following Quantum. Not bad, not bad."
"Aside from cultivating good deeds, have your other skills improved?"
Although Chang Jie didn't seem very bright, he knew how to say good things about Zhao Youliang.
Upon hearing this, he pondered for a moment, then strained his eyes, which were both large and small and crossed. Instantly, two beams of light emanated from his face and converged three centimeters in front of him.
Seeing this, Chang Huaiyuan's smile deepened, and his affection for Chang Huaiyuan intensified.
"Great job, Xiao Jie is awesome!"
"The eye technique can now reach a significantly greater distance than before, that's really impressive!"
Chang Jie blushed slightly at the praise: "Uncle, not only can I stare farther, but my power is also greater. I can light two cigarettes at once!"
After saying that, he actually took out two cigarettes at the same time, lit them, and then put them into Xiao Rou's mouth and started smoking.
Smoke rose, choking the Northern Blood Dragon, causing him to cough repeatedly and tear up constantly.
Even so, the Dragon King of the Northern Kingdom remained unperturbed.
She simply took out a clean white handkerchief to wipe him, while affectionately stroking Chang Jie's chubby little head.
"Ahem... Xiao Jie, besides lighting cigarettes, what else have you learned from You Liang?"
"What else did you learn?" Chang Jie was taken aback by the question this time, but he quickly recovered.
"He can also use laser eyes to light incense and candles, oh right, he's even learned to kowtow."
Chang Huaiyuan: "..."
"Ahem, um, Xiao Jie is great."
"Who taught you to smoke? Who taught you to kowtow? Tell your uncle, your uncle wants to discuss this with him."
Chang Jie wasn't very bright, so he didn't realize the murderous intent in the Northern Blood Dragon's words.
Just as he was about to answer, Zhao Youliang returned with the tea.
"Elder Chang, please drink it while it's hot."
"Please don't blame me if the tea isn't very good."
Chang Huaiyuan smiled and nodded, then took a small sip.
After Zhao Youliang subtly and frantically signaled with his eyes, Chang Jie finally realized what was happening.
After taking a deep drag on his cigarette, he answered his uncle listlessly, "No one taught me; I'm all self-taught."
