Chapter 584: Chapter 188 Game? Damn!_1

Watching the Rabbit’s receding figure, he couldn’t quite understand why, but he always felt that the Rabbit’s silhouette was somewhat lonely, its thin body appearing so tiny and desolate amidst the heavens and earth...

After a long while, the large-headed doll muttered, "I should head home, oh..."

Qin Shou thought that the doll’s fate had warned everyone not to skip class so lightly, yet in the following days, he kept seeing several unlucky kids being thrown out one after another. Then, in every city, scenes played out daily of parents chasing and hitting their children...

In response, Qin Shou could only sigh deeply, "The feeling of having parents sure is nice."

At the same time, Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha too was feeling quite gloomy. Ever since the Rabbit had been thrown out, he noticed that the number of people sleeping was steadily increasing.

Similarly, the number of people who could stay until class ended was getting fewer and fewer...

When Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha saw that the only students left were Li Zhenying and Lady Diyong, and all the others had been thrown out, he decided that he couldn’t keep doing this! He had to find another way to discipline them.

At the same time, Li Zhenying sought out Qin Shou.

"Rabbit, looking at the Bodhisattva’s demeanor, it seems he won’t be lecturing on ’The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra’ anytime soon," said Li Zhenying.

Qin Shou tugged on his rabbit ear and said, "That won’t do, he can delay, but I can’t wait. The moon hasn’t appeared for so long; I think there might be a problem in Heaven."

Li Zhenying said, "What should we do then? The sutra is the Bodhisattva’s; if he doesn’t lecture, we can’t do anything about it, can we?"

Kui San said, "Right, we can’t beat him either."

Lady Diyong gave Kui San a disdainful glance and said, "Beat him? Now all we can do is wait patiently."

Qin Shou said, "Wait? Wait till when? No way, I need to go ask him."

Thus, ignoring everyone’s dissuasion, Qin Shou went to find Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha.

Upon entering the Bodhisattva’s cave, he didn’t see Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha but found Diting lying there lazily looking at him.

Qin Shou said, "Black Dog, where’s the Bodhisattva?"

Diting gave Qin Shou a disdainful look and said, "I am Diting, a divine beast, not a dog!"

Qin Shou said, "Alright, Black Dog, I got it. Now tell me where the Bodhisattva went."

Diting angrily said, "I am Diting!"

"I know you’re Diting, you don’t need to repeat it. Just tell me where the Bodhisattva went," Qin Shou said.

Diting said, "The Bodhisattva has gone to visit friends. Tell me what you want, and if I know, I can answer you first."

Qin Shou chuckled, leaned in, and handed over a bone, saying, "Brother He, I just want to know, when will the Bodhisattva lecture on ’The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra’?"

As Diting looked at the bone before him, his face grew darker and more lustrous, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I don’t know!"

Qin Shou produced another bone and said, "Don’t be like that, just tell me, and I’ll give you a few more."

Upon hearing this, Diting completely lost it, fuming, "I’m not a dog! I don’t eat bones! I bloody eat meat!"

Qin Shou slapped his hand and said, "No problem, I’ll provide plenty!"

Diting didn’t hear clearly and mistook ’provide’ for ’dog’, bellowing on the spot, "Scram! Get out of here!"

And then, Qin Shou was chased out by Diting.

Helpless, Qin Shou took out a large platter of meat and said with a grin, "I didn’t know your preference before, but now I do. Can I still let you go?"

"Just one plate?" As Diting gazed at the meat before him, saliva was almost dripping out of his mouth, but he still made an effort to withdraw his gaze and disdainfully said.

Seeing this, Qin Shou thought, this fellow is even starting to bargain, so he presented another plate and said, "What about these?"

Diting’s eyes flickered slightly, yet he still resisted the urge and said, "Not enough."

Qin Shou took out another tray.

"Still not enough!" Diting insisted.

Qin Shou kept digging.

"It’s not enough, just not enough! Rabbit, let me tell you, only I know the answer to your question. If you want me to speak up, you’d better show some sincerity!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou’s temper flared as well. Damn it, he had spent his whole life hunting birds, but today it seemed he was the one getting pecked!

However, since Qin Shou was the one asking for a favor, he couldn’t be stingy, so he took out all his meat and piled it in front of Diting.

Seeing this, Diting finally smiled happily, "Honestly, ’The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra’ is usually only recited on Buddha’s birthday. On other days, it’s definitely not recited."

Qin Shou asked, "There’s no other way, then?"

Diting shook his head, "It’s been years, and we’ve never broken this rule."

Qin Shou asked several more questions, but Diting just shook his head, stating there was no other way and they could only wait.

Just then, two children ran past the door, one of them asking, "Brother, is it true that Bodhisattva will recite ’The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra’ on Buddha’s birthday?"

"Of course! We all need to listen to it, and then we’ll cultivate and ascend on the same day. That’s a grand era for our Buddha Mountain. Who in the whole Buddha Mountain doesn’t know?" the older child shouted in reply.

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou turned around sharply, only to find that Diting had already run off without a trace!

Similarly, the pile of meat was gone too.

Qin Shou grimaced and cursed, "You damn turtle grandson, stuff yourself, I hope you choke!"

After saying that, Qin Shou stuffed a ruler used for lightly tapping the meat into the Black Demon Box. Indeed, he had tapped each dish with the ruler a couple of times before... As for the origin of the ruler, naturally, it came from Artisan Valley and was taken from Wenqu Palace.

After Qin Shou left, Diting came back with Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha.

"Really not going to see him?" Diting asked.

"Of course not," Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha said with a smile.

"Not going to recite the sutra?"

"No, if I did, he would leave. If he doesn’t leave, I can continue to enlighten him for a while longer. I don’t believe I can’t enlighten this damn rabbit," Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha was determined.

"Bodhisattva, is it worth it?" Diting asked.

"It’s a great merit... Besides, I’ve been entrusted by others to teach this kid how to be a good person, so there’s no choice," Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha replied.

++++

The next day, as soon as dawn broke, a child ran inside crying and wailing, "Bodhisattva, the Rabbit bullied people too much!"

When Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha saw him, his brow furrowed slightly, "Why are you coming back with your bottom bare?"

The child sobbed, "We were supposed to be playing a game, but I lost my pants... Wuuu...

Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, stunned, said, "Playing a game, and you lost your pants? That sounds like gambling, doesn’t it?"

At this thought, Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha suddenly became enraged. That damn rabbit skipping class with a bunch of students was bad enough, but to even organize gambling?

The little guy nodded and then shook his head, "It’s not gambling, it’s different from what the adults play. But there’s still winning and losing..."

Seeing that the child couldn’t explain clearly, Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha said, "Lead the way, let’s go see."

So the two of them left and headed towards the Rabbit’s residence.

From a long distance away, before they even entered the door, Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha could already hear the voices from a courtyard in the distance, clattering nonstop, with someone shouting, "Mahjong! Mahjong!"
