The Anarchic Consort (Book 1)

911-915

"Any news about the seal which I have asked you to look into?" Helian Wei Wei's fingers rapped against the wooden table as she looked at the train station outside the window, "No new clues, right?"

While he was navigating, Monkey replied, "Boss, you are indeed a smart person. I have inquired all the people from the same line of work as you, be it masters or eminent monks. All of them have the same opinion that this seal is indeed peculiar. They have never seen anything like this. I have hacked into many websites, yet I still could not find any information about this seal on the Internet."

"What about the keywords? Related keywords usually appear when searching for something. What are they?" Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows.

"The keywords related to the seal are rather weird, like roti canai, curry, butter chicken, and other Indian dishes. Oh right, there's also Nepal." Monkey was looking at the road ahead, and the car was rather speedy.

"No wonder she would visit Yungui District." Helian Wei Wei squinted her eyes.

"Who?" Monkey could not understand what his boss meant.

Helian Wei Wei smiled lightly and asked a question instead of answering, "Do you know where the origin of Buddhism is?"

Monkey did not reply to her. On the other hand, Old Cat who was listening by the side got very excited, "I know about this. Wasn't it in Journey to the West? When Tang Seng and his party climbed over mountains and crossed the Yellow River on their pilgrimage to get the scriptures in Tian Zhu, the origin of Buddhism was where they went. Tian Zhu is India in the present day!"

Helian Wei Wei took a glance at him and remained silent upon hearing his words.

Little Qingchen put the last Swarovski crystal into Baili Shangxie's tiny pocket, then turned back to look at Old Cat, "Buddhism was created more than three thousand years ago in Kapilavastu. However, Western countries generally believe that Buddhism originated from India. Furthermore, India is in fact trying to shape its own image as the 'Holy Land of Buddhism'. This has led many people to have the wrong impression that Buddha was born in India. The truth is, Kapilavastu was not in India but in Nepal. Anyone from the Mainland who wishes to visit Nepal would have to pass through the borders from Yun City."

Little Qingchen explained very seriously, not forgetting to take everything that he should at the same time.

Baili Shangxie was afraid that he would fall, so he stood behind him. His crimson eyes became even more wicked after noticing Old Cat's dumbfounded expression. He spoke coolly, "You don't even know this? It's common sense. Uncle, read more books when you have time. Humans are just so stupid."

Old Cat was speechless.

Was his IQ being mocked by two three-year-old children now!?

You have got to be kidding me!

"Someone who likes children, from Nepal, the ancient Rajagaha City, has a gentle personality and appearance." Helian Wei Wei's eyes brightened up, "This reminds me of someone."

Little Qingchen wobbled his way toward his mother, "Do you mean Hariti?"

"What Hariti? What are you talking about?" Old Cat's face turned pale, "Are you talking about the master? Is she Hariti?"

Baili Shangxie smiled as his devilish insinuation started to intensify, "Hariti, one of the 20 Dharmapalas, also known as Karitei-mo. A celebration was held for the birth of a Buddha in the ancient Rajagaha City, where 500 people attended. On the way, they encountered a pregnant woman which they then brought along their journey. Unexpectedly, she had a miscarriage and all the 500 people left her. The woman then swore a poisonous oath, that she would be reincarnated into Rajagaha City and devour all the children there. Her oath actually came true after that. She came back to life in Rajagaha City and consumed all the children. Someone like this should join us in the magical realm, why would she join Buddhism and end up becoming the God that watches over the peace of children?"
