They all became female demons after being reborn.

Chapter 65 Wu Cheng: What a coincidence, I also know a little about incantations.

After listening to Bodhidharma's words, Wu Cheng was filled with respect. "Master, you are truly a master. I have learned a great deal."

"Your Highness is too kind. You already knew this principle," Bodhidharma said with a smile, clasping his hands together. "You already saw that the man had drugged him, and even reminded me of it. The fact that you didn't harm him shows your compassion."

"I have no Buddhist heart," Wu Cheng shook his head. "However, if someone were to cause trouble with gold in hand, I might also be tempted, but then I can't blame others."

Bodhidharma smiled and said, "However, this humble monk does not recommend that other monks follow my example."

Wu Cheng asked curiously, "Because they're not as strong as you?"

Bodhidharma smiled without saying a word, then pointed around to change the subject, "What does Your Highness think of this county town?"

The group looked around and saw that the streets were deserted with few pedestrians. The few people who were there looked pale and sickly. When they saw the group dressed in fine clothes, they turned pale, became timid and quickened their pace to flee.

Xue Jianren stroked his chin and was the first to comment, "The common people are doing pretty well, aren't they?"

Seeing Wu Cheng pursing his lips and remaining silent, Xue Jianren felt something was amiss. "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Since Bodhidharma recognized him anyway, he simply stopped calling him "Junior Brother Wu".

Wu Cheng looked at him with a strange expression. "Senior Brother Xue, you really think it's pretty good?"

The Xue family members were puzzled. "There are no bandits killing people in the street, and no beggars begging. Isn't this a good thing? After all, it has always been this way since ancient times."

"It's always been like this..."

Wu Cheng sighed, "Senior Brother Xue, there are hardly any people on the streets. If the people who can come out are all pale and hide when they see us, what about those who can't go out?"

"As for why there were no beggars, I have no idea."

Xue Jianren said, "Didn't Master Bodhidharma say there's an Iron Buddha Temple in this town? Maybe the monks there generously gave them porridge?"

Wu Cheng chuckled inwardly.

Iron Buddha Temple? I'm still driving a McLaren!

As for distributing porridge... Is this Iron Buddha Temple Zhang Jiao's temple? They're distributing porridge there.

As they were talking, they suddenly heard a mournful cry coming from afar.

The group exchanged glances and then hurried off in that direction.

After several twists and turns, the group turned into a narrow alley.

On the right side of this narrow alley, there is a house with a white cloth hanging in front of it, and white paper money scattered around it.

The crying was coming from inside the courtyard.

Xue Jianren was the first to step forward and knock on the door.

The crying inside stopped abruptly, and shortly afterward, footsteps approached from afar, followed by the opening of the door.

The man who opened the door looked to be in his thirties. Although he was pale and dressed in coarse clothes, he did not have the air of a poor person. However, he looked worried and paused for a moment when he saw Wu Cheng and the others.

However, upon seeing Bodhidharma dressed in a brocade robe, although he was taken aback by Bodhidharma's imposing physique, he still respectfully clasped his hands together and bowed, saying, "Li Xun greets the Master. Is the Master here to beg for alms?"

"There's no rush," Bodhidharma said in a deep voice, his palms pressed together. "Has anyone in your family passed away? I have some knowledge of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra, the Amitabha Sutra, the Diamond Sutra, and the Rebirth Mantra."

Seeing this, Li Xun shook his head with a wry smile, "No one in my family has passed away, but... but... alas, this was prepared for my son."

Wu Cheng interjected curiously, "Oh? Could it be that your son is suffering from some serious illness?"

Li Xun looked up and drove toward him.

Bodhidharma explained, "This is Layman Wu, who is traveling the world with me. He has a deep affinity with Buddhism and is no ordinary person."

With the guarantor of Bodhidharma, a monk who was clearly a high-ranking monk, and seeing the extraordinary bearing of Wu Cheng and his companions, who were dressed in fine silks and satins, Li Xun cupped his hands and explained, "I dare not lie to you, young hero, my son is in good health and has not fallen ill."

Wu Cheng asked curiously, "Then why is that?"

"well......"

With a long sigh, Li Xun stepped aside. "Please come in and rest for a while, have a cup of hot tea, and I will explain everything to you slowly."

The group then followed Li Xun into the house.

Upon entering the hall, Li Xun went to the back room and summoned his wife, who was still sobbing with red eyes.

The hostess, suppressing her grief, forced a smile as she poured tea for the group.

After the group thanked him, Bodhidharma asked, "May I speak now, benefactor?"

Upon hearing his question, the woman could no longer hold back her grief and tears streamed down her face again. She cried out in a mournful, blood-stained voice, "My poor child..."

"Sigh..." Li Xun's eyes reddened and he sniffled a few times before explaining, "So that you all may know, my Li family has had only one son for three generations, but in my generation, we just can't have a child. Eight years ago, my wife and I went to Tiefo Temple to burn incense. The high monk there said that it was easy to have a child, just one hundred taels of silver."

After a pause, Li Xun continued, "I sold my possessions to raise enough money to buy a prescription for my wife to take day and night. Sure enough, she became pregnant a year later."

Xue Jianren asked, puzzled, "Isn't this a good thing?"

Wu Cheng said, "I'm afraid there's another reason."

Li Xun nodded. "Young Master Wu is right. My wife and I took our son to the Iron Buddha Temple to fulfill our vow, but the high monk said... but said..."

He gritted his teeth, his eyes red, and squeezed out a sentence: "The high monk said that my son is destined to be with Buddha, that he is a Buddha descended to earth, and that he will only have a six-year father-son or mother-son relationship with my wife and me. He will die a violent death on his birthday six years later."

"And today... today is my son's sixth birthday..."

Upon hearing his choked words, his wife cried even more bitterly.

Xue Jianren was shocked. "This is a curse! This is a curse technique!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xun and his wife's expressions changed drastically, and they instinctively looked cautiously at Bodhidharma.

Wu Cheng smiled and turned his head. "Master, does your Buddhist sect possess any spells or curses?"

Bodhidharma shook his head repeatedly with a gloomy face. "Our Buddhist sect has no methods of cursing, there must be something strange about that Iron Buddha Temple. However... this humble monk does not know how to break it."

Upon hearing this, Li Xun and his wife were utterly devastated.

Wu Cheng smiled and said, "No rush. I do know some magic spells. May I take a look at the child?"

Li Xun was overjoyed and hurriedly urged his still bewildered wife, "Quickly! Go and bring the bear!"

His wife then realized what was happening and quickly got up and went back to the inner room.

Li Xun smiled somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to have made you all laugh. My son has had a hard life, which is why I gave him this nickname. I just hope... he can grow up safely."

Wu Cheng waved his hand, "It's alright."

Before long, Li Xun's wife came out with a child who was about five or six years old.

The child was fair-skinned and tender. Although he was not particularly strong or robust, his complexion was rosy and he was by no means weak.

He bowed politely to the group, then hid behind his mother and looked at them timidly.

Li Xun's wife looked at Wu Cheng eagerly, "Great Hero Wu! Do you have a solution?"

Wu Chengxin already understood. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "You two can rest assured. I have already checked. That monk from Tiefo Temple is not skilled enough. He has clearly made a mistake. Your son has a Buddhist affinity and will surely live to be a hundred years old to take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days."

"real?"

Seeing that Li Xun and his wife clearly did not believe him, Wu Cheng said, "We'll know tonight whether it's true or not."
