In Sensoji Temple, the sacred capital, the once bustling temple is now deserted.
Originally, at this time, there would be a large number of donors coming to worship the Buddha, but now, in the entire Sensoji Temple, not to mention ordinary people, there are only a few monks left sorting out the large piles of relics.
During this day, hundreds of tombstones stood abruptly in the backyard of Sensoji Temple.
A young monk, about ten years old, returned to the temple happily, but what he saw was not the prosperous scenery of the past, but an empty temple, and all the brothers seemed to be missing.
He hurriedly ran to the Buddha statue, saw the old monk sitting on the ground and chanted sutras, and asked: "Master Wanfeng, where are senior brothers and the others going?"
The old monk's movement of reciting scriptures stopped, and he turned his head. His ugly face with age spots was full of pits, and the holes in his eyeballs seemed to have lost their black color.
"They have all become Buddhas." The old monk returned directly, as if he had lost all his strength in his tone.
Here, the word "Buddha" extends to another meaning, which is death.
"Become a Buddha..." The little monk raised his head in disbelief, and the grass ring in his hand fell to the ground.
"Where is Senior Brother Zang that day..."
"I have become a Buddha." The old monk still had that weak tone.
"Where's Senior Brother Tianhui..."
"He also became a Buddha."
"Where's Senior Brother Tianxiu..."
"He has also become a Buddha."
The pine trees in the temple are several meters tall. These pine trees were planted by his brothers when he first entered the temple. But now, those who planted the trees have become Buddhas and their souls have returned to the Pure Land.
The young monk fell to his knees on the ground. He didn't understand why all the people he was familiar with in the past had gone to the Pure Land.
"Master Wanfeng, why did brothers become Buddhas?"
"For the sake of peace in the world." The old monk returned.
"But is the world peaceful?" the young monk said with a cry, "then the brothers' deaths were not in vain."
The old monk stopped reciting and just sat in meditation. The entire temple fell into a death-like silence.
After a long time, the young monk slowly withdrew and said, "Master Wanfeng, it was me who said too much."
After the young monk left, the old monk seemed to be deflated.
"Brother Wanhai, I finally understand how you felt when you betrayed Sensoji Temple..." The old monk threw away the Buddhist scriptures. He quietly came behind the Buddha statue and found two volumes of books from the hidden compartment at the bottom.
One volume is called "Amakusa Sect" and the other is called "Book of the Dead". These are the legacies left by the mad monk Wan Hai to his junior brother when he left.
He still remembers what Senior Brother Wan Hai said, praising the Buddha cannot save the world...
Senior brother Wan Hai decided to dedicate everything to the gods and prepare for the divine descending ceremony for decades, hoping to pray to the unknown gods to bring hope to the people of this land.
But now, has Senior Brother Wan Hai succeeded?
…
At this time in Kyoto, after Levi counted the harvest from the last copy, he asked people from the Fujiwara branch to transport dozens of revolvers and grenades to the Ninja Village.
Then, he waved, and a ninja appeared in front of Li Wei, kneeling down on one knee to salute respectfully.
"Inform all the ninja ANBU and go to the Ninja Village to gather. Next, they need to leave the city, or even go to the Divine Capital, to get all the information about Genji for me." Levi said.
"Ha Yin!" The ninja took Levi's order and disappeared into the Fujiwara Mansion.
After the ninja left, when Levi was browsing the system messages, he noticed that he also obtained a "God of Religion" achievement in the last mission. His inherent skill divinity was upgraded to level C. Non-divine damage reduction was upgraded to 35%.
This made Levi feel a little surprised, and then he thought that maybe the people in Salem Town really worshiped him as a god.
But looking at the achievements of the "God of Religion", he should be equated with a certain god in "Holy Path", especially the priest, who probably does this.
However, I have enjoyed the benefits and learned the importance of appearing holy in front of others.
Gods in mythology can gain faith in this way, and Levi can also improve the level of this skill through some manifestations.
It’s just that there is no need to deliberately go to others to show off your holiness, just let it happen.
Seeing this, Levi once again recalled what Abe Seimei said when he killed the Yamata-no-Orochi, and Suzano-o's divine nature was too high, and Levi could not break through the defense for the time being.
Levi looked at the damage reduction of the skill Divinity, thoughtfully.
He assumed that Suzano'o's divinity reached level A, which should reduce damage to non-divine beings by more than 50%.
In other words, it was not that I was completely unable to cause damage to the second-generation Orochi, but because the damage reduction was too high, all the damage I could cause was scraping.
That's why Abe Seimei used divine power to destroy the divinity of Suzano'o's body, and then let him deliver the final blow.
After Li Wei sorted out the thoughts in his mind, he no longer thought about the past.
As for his current job, he arranged for ANBU to go outside Kyoto.
He needed to send ninjas to collect information about Genji, and in the dangerous environment outside the city, he didn't know how many of his ninjas would be able to come back.
Therefore, he directly gave priority to the latest equipment for these ninjas to use, at least to improve their survival rate outside the city.
Not surprisingly, firearms got some localized names after they were introduced to the mainland. The samurai called the gun "fire gun" and the grenade "fire gun".
Many people have begun to create new sword techniques by combining guns and grenades with katana and sword skills.
These are also what Li Wei is happy to see.
After arranging the movements of the ninjas, Levi began to continue practicing spiritual power.
The logistical affairs of Kyoto were handed over to the daimyo Chiki Fujiwara, which saved him a lot of time. Levi only had to be the Dark of Kyoto to ensure the intelligence trends of Genji and demons, as well as the construction of Ninja Village.
.
Then, it was time to wait for the war to come.
During this time, the ANBU of Ninja Village also received the rotating firearms and old-fashioned grenades sent by Levi, and every one of them couldn't put it down.
After they only briefly became familiar with the new equipment, they hurried out of the city to explore Genji's intelligence. Because the mission was urgent, they almost grabbed their guns and grenades and left.
As for kunai and shuriken? In what age are we still using those things? Even ninja dogs don't use them.
Coincidentally, the ninjas of the Genji shogunate also marched into Kyoto and began to clear the way for the Hatamoto samurai army to follow.
As for the ANBU ninjas in Kyoto, basically more than half of them are equipped with ninja dogs this time.
Outside the city, the ninja dog's sensory abilities can serve as a very useful detection tool, allowing ninjas to avoid strange things and monsters and track traces of the Genji shogunate.
Soon after, the ANBU of the Ninja Village and the Gozenban ninjas of the Genji Shogunate began to encounter each other outside the city.
