Chapter 616 Temple Demons
An hour later, seven o'clock in the morning.
At this time, the streets of Maizuru gradually became lively, and many vendors brought their own products into the city and shouted and sold them on the streets.
Matsushita Sanae walked in front with her two children, while Irumi, who was wearing a suit, followed behind them. He did not walk with them to avoid being misunderstood.
The Nichirin sword was still wrapped in a long piece of cloth. Although it was still a bit eye-catching, no one would report him because it was a sword.
Matsuo-dera Temple is located at the base of Mount Matsuo. It is a temple dedicated to exorcising evil spirits.
When the four of them reached Matsuo Mountain, it was already noon and the sun was shining brightly.
Ilumi and Matsushita Sanae's family of three started climbing the mountain and found many people going up and down, many of whom looked sad.
"Well, it seems they are relatives of the workers who disappeared recently."
Ilumi guessed in his mind that most of them were people who had the same idea as Matsushita Sanae. After learning the news, they came to pray to Buddha to ward off evil spirits.
"Dang~!"
The loud ringing of bells came from the temple, and Ilumi and Matsushita Sanae entered the door. There was an old woman selling incense at the door.
Matsushita and Sanae paid for the incense. Illumi did not believe in Buddhism, so he did not intend to worship Buddha, so he did not pay for the incense.
On the contrary, young Kang Zhi wanted to buy some incense for Ilumi, but he was scolded by the old woman selling incense.
"If you don't even take the incense yourself, you won't be sincere in worshiping Buddha!"
“If you want to get incense, buy it yourself!”
Kang Zhi felt aggrieved and looked at Ilumi, only to find that Ilumi ignored the old woman and directly passed them through the gate.
At this time, Ilumi was standing in the square in front of the temple inside the three gates of the temple. There was a large incense burner in the middle. Many civilians took out three incense sticks they bought and inserted them into the incense burner and prayed three times in a row.
Then he continued forward and climbed the stairs. After climbing for a while, he found the incense burner and bowed again.
After bowing down continuously, before I even got to the Buddha statue in the temple, the incense in my hand was almost exhausted and I had to buy more.
"You really know how to make money, these stinky monks."
Ilumi stood in the square in front of the temple, watching this scene expressionlessly.
"Uncle Hezai, don't you worship Buddha?"
Kangji came to Ilumi, looked up at him, and said curiously.
Matsushita Sanae also looked at him with doubtful eyes. Didn't he say that he came to worship Buddha and ward off evil spirits?
"Oh, I'll take a walk inside by myself."
"As you wish."
Yilumi greeted him casually and walked towards the temple on the mountain. He planned to go deep alone.
Walking from the third gate to the main hall, you can see one or two monks from time to time, but they are all normal humans.
"You shouldn't see ghosts in the living area during the day, so go to the monastic area and have a look."
Ilumi found a corner, jumped up on the wall, entered the Dharma hall, passed the meditation hall, and searched the monk's dormitory, but found no trace of the evil ghost.
"Is it possible that we have to wait until night?" Yilumi looked up at the sky, the sun was shining above his head, "Forget it, there is still time anyway, so let's turn this temple upside down while it is daytime."
From noon to afternoon, Ilumi wandered around without finding anything until he came to the warehouse.
"Um?"
When Ilumi passed by a spacious courtyard, a strong smell of blood and rot entered his nostrils, making him frown.
He stopped immediately and turned around to look at the source of the smell.
In the courtyard, there is a suspended building supported by many pillars. The windows and doors are closed, and no monks can be seen nearby.
Ilumi frowned and walked towards the building, stopping in front of its door, which had the word "warehouse" written on it.
"Tick-tock...tick-tock..."
A "tick" sound came into my ears, like the sound of water dripping.
Yilumi listened carefully for a moment, squatted down, looked at the bottom of the warehouse, and found that under the floor, drops of black-red blood soaked through the floor and dripped onto the ground.
The ground under the warehouse was even watered with blood for a long time, and weeds broke through the cement floor and grew vigorously.
Blood dripped on the weeds, dyeing the leaves black and red.
"It turns out to be here."
Ilumi stood up and grinned.
He took off the Nichirin sword from his back, uncovered the cloth, and pulled out the scabbard with a clank.
"In broad daylight, I will destroy your temple's reputation."
A smile appeared on Yilumi's face, she rushed towards the door, slashed with two knives, and kicked with her leg.
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise, and the door turned into pieces and flew backwards, hitting the warehouse window with a "pop" sound. Some directly broke the window and flew out, and some were directly embedded in the window.
"It stinks!"
When Ilumi stepped into the warehouse, a foul smell hit his nostrils and filled his nostrils.
Sunlight pours in through the broken windows and shines into the warehouse.
Black figures lay on the floor in the warehouse. Some of them were naked, some were wearing kimonos, and they were all men.
They lay weakly on the floor, and even if Ilumi broke in, they had no reaction.
The floor beneath them had already been soaked with a large amount of blood and gave off a putrid smell.
There were also flies flying around on their faces and bodies, making a "buzzing" sound.
A small number of those who were still conscious looked at Ilumi at the door, but their pupils were also dilated and unfocused.
Such a performance was obviously a sign of great psychological stimulation, causing a mental breakdown.
"They are all workers building the railway!"
When Ilumi saw these men, he immediately thought of the missing railway workers.
Panasonic Sanae said that some people found missing workers, but they did not expect that there were also many workers here, and there were quite a lot of them.
"Crack... click... tear..."
A sound of biting and chewing sounded from the warehouse on the other side.
When Yi Lumi heard the sound, he saw a thin figure sitting in a dark corner with his back to him, holding a corpse in his arms, his head and shoulders shaking constantly.
"One."
A flash of light flashed in Yilumi's eyes. He pointed the sun blade in his hand diagonally at the ground and sprinted toward the figure in the corner.
But during his sprint, the figure suddenly turned around, grabbed the body in his arms with one hand, and threw it towards Ilumi.
Looking at the corpse covered in blood, Yilumi immediately ducked sideways.
"Whoosh!"
When he dodged, the thin figure jumped up, raised his right leg, flipped in mid-air, and crashed down towards Ilumi.
Illumi held the knife in his right hand and turned it. The tip of the Nichirin Knife was inserted downwards into the floor. His body turned half a circle with the Nichirin Knife as its axis to avoid the opponent's kick.
"Bang!"
The thin figure stepped on the floor, and the floor shattered with a "pop" sound, and a hole was made by his step.
Illumi knelt down on one knee and stopped spinning. As soon as he pulled out the Nichirin Sword, the opponent's attack came.
"Crack!"
The emaciated figure missed a kick, bounced up from the ground with his left hand, and kicked him again with his right leg.
Ilumi held the sun-wheel sword high in his hand, turned his foot, and slashed it sideways.
"clang!"
Chapter completed!
