"...Sahu, are you going to transfer to Tokyo?" Chihara Hiroshi suddenly asked.

Before, Takayuki Sakai once said that he could help him enter a school with excellent teaching quality.

Once he buys a house in Tokyo, it means he settles for a long time. Chihara Hiroshi believes that he has the responsibility to take care of her nearby.

However, this proposal was obviously beyond Chihara's expectations. She opened her mouth first, and after three seconds she made a sound, expressing her attitude:

"Brother, the environment in Kamakura High School is very good, I don't want to transfer."

"But I have always troubled Miss Nishitsuji..." Although Hiroshi Chihara pays Mai Nishitsuji 100,000 yen every month, these cares cannot be measured by just one hundred thousand yen.

After his income stabilized, he also proposed to increase the amount, but he was rejected. In the end, he could only make more money on his account.

Chihara Satoshi asked:

"Is this what Sister Mai thinks?"

The two girls lived together for more than a year, and of course she knew what kind of person Mai Nishitsuji was. This question was more about showing her attitude to Chihara.

"Not this." Chihara Hiroshi shook his head.

Chihara nodded, with a smile on her face:

"That's it. Sister Mai doesn't think so. Moreover, I want to finish high school in Osaka and then get into a university in Tokyo."

"It's college!" Chihara Hiroshi understood her thoughts, but there were more than two years left.

Although he insisted, he would probably listen to him, but he was not like forced.

The brother and sister began to talk about other things.

...

This time I came back, as planned, stayed in Osaka for two days.

These two days happened to be the weekend. Chihara Hiroshi accompanied Sabu to visit various attractions in Osaka, including Osaka Castle, Tengtenkaku, Tennoji, etc.

To be honest, it was the first time I have been to these places for such a long time, plus the original owner’s previous experience.

In addition, he returned to his old career and taught a class for the students of the Nishitsuji Dojo.

It was not until the third day that Chihara Hiroshi rushed to the adjacent Kyoto.

Getting off the Shinkansen and coming to the station hall, Chihara Hiroshi saw Secretary Shirato who came to pick him up.

"Teacher Qianyuan, here!" She waved her hand until she was sure that the other party saw it, and then put her hand down.

"Miss Shiratsu, why are you?"

Before, the other party once said that he would come to Kyoto to prepare for the day before the game, and now there are still two days left before the game.

Secretary Bai Zhi replied:

"Since you are here in Kyoto today, I naturally can't leave. After talking to the Chess Academy, they approved me to come."

Although she was the secretary who was assigned to him by the Japanese Chess Academy, she was not a full-time secretary. When Chihara was not in a competition, she still had her own job.

"That's right." Chihara Hiroshi declined the other party's hand, pulled his suitcase and came outside the station.

After stopping a taxi, Secretary Bai Zhi told him the destination:

"North District Dadeji Temple."

The car started.

Hiroshi Chihara asked:

"Is the game located in Dadeji Temple?"

Before, he did not ask about the competition venue, but only knew that it was being held in a temple.

Secretary Bai Zhi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and said "yes":

"If you don't mind, we can live there today and tomorrow, and Master Fufu, the Guan Chang of Dade Temple, is also very interested in you."

The so-called "Guanchang" is a unique saying in Japanese Buddhism. It began in the Meiji period and was the leader of one sect and one sect.

Dade Temple is the cultural center of Zen Buddhism, and the current manager is Fufu Xuedao.

When he heard the monk and added a prefix "Japan" in front of it, Hiroshi Chihara's first reaction was that kind of temple that could marry and have children and be run by a family.

Last November, when he participated in the Sankei Cup Professional Amateur Challenge, he had visited Datoji with Shizui and Nishitsuji, but he was all focused on playing and didn't pay attention to this.

"Is Datoji a family-run temple?" he asked Shiraori in front of him.

As a result, before she could speak, the taxi driver said first:

"Guest, you can't talk nonsense. Dade Temple is a Zen temple, and it doesn't have the ones you said!"

His voice was a little unhappy, and he was quite a lesson.

Hiroshi Chihara was stunned for a moment, but was not angry, but asked:

“Is there any difference?”

"Of course there is a difference!" The driver is a middle-aged man in his forties. He doesn't seem to be a believer, but also a fan in related fields. "What you mentioned before is a 'family-run temple' refers to the kind of place where father and son are passed down, right?"

"yes."

"Those are monks from the Pure Land Zhen Sect. Dade Temple belongs to the Zen Sect, and others include Tiantai Sect, Zhenyan Sect, and Faxiang Sect... They all select masters with high moral character from the sects and serve as managers..."

Chihara Hiroshi really didn't know this and asked again:

"Then they won't get married and have children?"

The driver said this and couldn't help but choke, and said a few seconds later:

"In the past, only the monks from the Pure Land True Sect did this, but after Meiji, the teachings and laws were relaxed, but there were also monks with high moral character who still abide by the rules and cannot be generalized..."

Then, he introduced some basic Buddhist knowledge to Qianyuan, including the "Guanzheng" mentioned earlier. In fact, not all schools call it that. Tiantai Sect is called "Master", Pure Land True Sect is called "Sect Master", and Oguchi Sect is called "Master"...

It was not until the car arrived at the destination that the driver stopped feeling unsatisfied:

"Guest, don't make any mistakes again. It would be a very rude thing to be in front of monks."

Hiroshi Chihara thanked him.

The two got out of the car.

Secretary Bai Zhi next to him said with a smile:

"The driver just now was really knowledgeable. If I asked me to answer, I wouldn't be so detailed."

Chihara Hiroshi shook his head and sighed:

"I've really been taught."

There are multiple entrances in Dade Temple, and the driver brought them to the main entrance.

At this time, the Torii gate was coming and going, and there were endless crowds of people, including tourists and believers.

Secretary Baizhi took the lead and said:

"Teacher Chihara, let's go."

According to the custom of Japanese temples, the two came to the clear water pool, picked up a scoop of water, scooped up a scoop of water, first rinsed the other palm, then used the palm to collect water, rinsed the mouth, and finally washed the palms holding the scoop of water.

This is both a act of respect and a cleansing of the body and mind.

Hiroshi Chihara sorted out his clothes, then pulled up his suitcase, and followed Shiratsui to the temple.

Near the main hall, the two found a monk and explained their purpose, and the other party pointed out a way for them.
Chapter completed!
