He shouted, and his heart raced as if he had seen a ghost. He jerked his hand away vigorously.
To his surprise, not only did his hand fail to escape the grip, but he even pulled a person out of the talismans.
‘Did the talismans become spiritual beings?’
“Ah?!”
Alex was shocked. He slammed that person hard on the ground, to which a loud bang ensued.
“Stop! Stop! It’s me! Ouch! My crotch!” that person shouted in pain.
That voice sounded familiar.
After taking a closer look, Alex discovered that it was an old monk, Revealer Maha.
“Ah! So it’s you, Master Maha! Why is it you who’s come out of the talisman? You freaked me out. I thought some heinous female bodhisattva came out of it… Is your crotch alright?”
Alex pulled up Revealer Maha and noticed that he was covering it with one hand, his face filled with pain. When Alex pulled him and slammed him on the ground, he seemingly fell flat on the face with his crotch first to touch the ground.
It should be excruciating.
Revealer Maha gasped repeatedly, and his face even flushed. Trembling, he said, “It’s fine. It’s fine. It’ll be over slowly.”
Alex replied, “Master, luckily, you’re a loner and a votarist. Otherwise, my sin would’ve been serious.”
Finally, Revealer Maha let go of his hand. He looked like he was still in pain, but as a Revealer, he would be rude to cover his crotch in front of Alex all the time, making him think that the old monk was disrespectful.
“Master, why don’t I treat you?! You may not be able to use it, but its existence is the truth…”
Revealer Maha looked at him in dejection. “I still need to use it occasionally.”
“Oh..?”
Alex opened his mouth wide. “Master, could it be that you aren’t considered a votarist? By the way, I just read that book, Buddhism Is Initially a Way. I think it makes sense. Buddhist cultivation doesn’t necessarily require one to be indifferent and reject love. Marriage and giving birth to children are natural, colossal paths. Buddhist nature can’t erase the truth of the reproduction of living beings, so we should cherish it even more. Master, I think you can still be saved. If you don’t have an heir, you can consider getting married and giving birth to a child. Don’t the Five Revealers lack four members? Bear a few more children so you can gather them.”
“So, you will get promoted and gain wealth?” Alex asked.
“Ahem… ” Revealer Maha coughed for a while.
“Congratulations. After you reach the nether realm and become a judge, you won’t be far away from meeting Hades then.”
Revealer Maha wanted to beat him to death.
Were those human words?
“These few talismans are a bit related to me. They are called Talismans of Equality. Keep them just in case,” the Revealer said.
“What is a Talisman of Equality?”
“All the sentient beings are equal!”
After hearing that, Alex’s eyes immediately gleamed.
