According to Monk Anzada, he received the revelation by chance while chanting under a bodhi tree at Mount Hiei Senbutsu Temple.
Levi doesn't understand.
However, Monk Anzhen still went to the Divine Capital with Li Wei, saying that he would definitely be able to help Li Wei somewhere.
This is not the first time something like this has happened. When he was going to kill Orochi, Abe Seimei predicted his arrival, and when he was going to kill Oeyama, Usui Sadamitsu also predicted his arrival.
"Did you do it behind the scenes? System?" Levi asked.
But this time, there was no response from the system, not even a prompt popped up.
In this way, the monk named An Zhen followed Li Wei and prepared to go to the divine capital.
What surprised Li Wei was that the monk's legs were extremely strong. He was able to keep up with Li Wei's pace without slowing down, and he kept walking with great force.
Li Wei wore a threaded mask and walked quietly, even for a time like the monk's guard.
Not long after, Levi came to the Kuzuryu Shrine that he had visited during the Izumo Kingdom era more than 400 years ago. Levi still saw a shrine here, but the spring vegetation had already grown inside. It seems to have been abandoned for a long time.
The wooden building has long been extremely decayed and is covered with vines and mushrooms. The words "Nine-Headed Dragon" have completely disappeared.
Li Wei once again thought of Yamabuki, that ordinary girl from Xiaosugun Village, and what kind of circumstances she must have walked with Li Wei in a body suffering from consumption.
"Does Donor Li Wei have anything to do with this shrine?" Monk An Zhen asked.
"A little bit." Levi answered uncertainly.
Monk An Zhen stopped talking. The two of them continued to move towards the capital of the gods. The scene in front of them seemed to be even more desolate than during the Orochi Rebellion four hundred years ago. During the Orochi Rebellion, many demons and humans could still be seen. Corpse.
But now, there are almost no corpses to be seen, and there are even fewer crows.
"Where is the Senbutsu Temple on Mount Hiei?" Li Wei asked curiously.
After all, there is a good chance that it will be the place where he traveled to this world. Levi has only really observed it in the illusion of the Fujiwara family leader. It is full of dilapidated Buddha statues, and those Buddha statues seem to have come to life.
"A place for cultivating the mind, but it has recently turned into a place of smoke and dust due to the arrival of the legendary Ba Gozen." Monk An Zhen's appearance is as smooth as ever.
Li Wei took a brief look and found that this monk An Zhen was indeed special. How should I put it? He looked a bit like the Fahai actor who amplified the power of Tianlong under the influence of Li Wei in his previous life. His name was Zhao.
He kind of forgot about it, but it was indeed a very impressive face.
"Is Ba Yuqian really the most beautiful woman in the world?" Li Wei asked casually.
He was really curious. It wasn't that he had any thoughts about Ba Yuqian. It was simply that the so-called "most beautiful woman in the world" was too loud. Li Wei thought he had seen many beauties, whether it was to play with her face or not. The faceless ghost who pinches his figure is still the two nieces of the fox in feathers. It is too reluctant to call him "the best in the world".
What's more, humans grow naturally.
The main thing is that in Li Wei's previous life, Ba Yuqian had the reputation of Fusang Yuji. This name is very deceiving. Perhaps for Li Wei, the name "Fusang Yuji" may be more important than "the most beautiful woman in the world". "The name made him even more curious.
Even Prime Minister Cao was probably too excited to sleep when he heard this name.
Monk An Zhen just shook his head slightly, and did not answer Li Wei directly, but said: "It's just pink flesh and blood. Her arrival may have made Xianfo Temple famous, but it also made Xianfo Temple lose its former purity.
The Buddha, the Immortal Buddha, has probably been turned into a Demonic Buddha now."
Come on, Li Wei doesn't think he can have a conversation with this monk.
This monk may have really lost everything. No matter what Li Wei said, he always answered with a calm and calm voice.
"Have you heard the story of Xuanzang's Journey to the West?" Li Wei also felt that the journey was boring and began to continue talking.
Because there was no mount, no means of transportation, and even no water for Levi to get a shark to travel quickly, he could only walk on his feet.
"No." Monk An Zhen replied.
Li Wei then remembered that the story of Journey to the West was not officially compiled into a complete story novel until the Ming Dynasty, and the current time period corresponds to the Southern Song Dynasty, and Journey to the West has not yet come out.
Even monkeys did not appear during this period. The person who is said to have had a close relationship with Xuanzang is probably Haruman, the ape demon king in Indian mythology.
"The story about five monks who went to Tianzhu to obtain the Buddha's scriptures." Li Wei continued.
"Elaborate."
Li Wei also tried to tell the story of Journey to the West. He traveled to this world for too long, and now he has no memory of his parents in his previous life. He may also want to prevent himself from forgetting his previous life.
something.
He began to slowly tell some stories, and this was also a process of recalling his past life.
This time, Monk An Zhen listened very carefully, and from time to time he asked questions that made Li Wei feel embarrassed, "Why was Jin Chanzi punished by the Buddha for just taking a nap?", "Why are the immortals and Buddhas so cruel and violent?"
Li Wei couldn't answer, so he could only continue telling the story of his journey to the west.
"Kill! To save the emperor!"
"Kill, in order to eradicate the traitors!"
The two of them climbed over a mountain peak and heard the incessant shouts of killing in the distance. Soldiers carrying the flags of "Yuan" and "Ping" behind them were madly intertwined and fighting.
There were not only adult samurai, but also many children who looked to be in their teens, fighting with spears that were several meters taller than others.
Li Wei suddenly looked at the battlefield in the distance in silence, then turned to An Zhen and said, "Do you understand now? Why are the immortals and Buddhas so brutal?"
The loud shouts and sounds of fighting in the distance could be heard endlessly. An Zhen fell silent. He saw with his own eyes a bamboo pierced through the chest of a child about ten years old. Then the child was still struggling desperately to survive, but was
Trampled to death. He didn't speak anymore, and he didn't even turn the rosary beads he had been fidgeting with.
"Let's go, take a long detour." Li Wei only felt unlucky. Wherever he went, the Genpei family was at war. This was the most people he had ever seen. In other villages in the wild, he didn't even see any people.
.
Li Wei continued to tell the story of Journey to the West, but after that, An Zhen just listened and did not ask any more questions that made people's eyes darken.
Not long after this time, Li Wei saw a mountain village in the distance, with green smoke rising. This should be a place where people live, and he was ready to take a break.
"Almsgiver Li Wei, I will be responsible for going to beg for alms. Please bear with me all the way." An Zhen saluted, then took his alms bowl and walked towards the mountain village.
Li Wei originally wanted to stop him because he had enough potatoes in the different dimension, but when he saw that the monk had gone away, he didn't say anything and asked him to bring some rice back to improve the food.
After all, Levi only brought potatoes.
He started to light a fire and set the potatoes aside to roast slowly.
During the Oeyama period, he encountered a way of eating rice in bamboo tubes in Nara. Li Wei felt that even the highland barley had a bit of flavor in that way. If the monk could really get some rice back, he would be ready to chop some rice.
A bamboo showed its hand in front of the monk.
After waiting for a while, the monk came back, but Li Wei saw him walking over carrying a tiger eagle. The neck of the eagle was abnormally crooked and it was dead.
"No, aren't you going to beg for alms?" Now it was Li Wei's turn to be stunned.
"There is no one in the mountain village over there. It is not smoke, but flames. All the people have been recruited by the Genji army. The men have become ashigaru, the women have become military officers, and the old, young and sick have become food.
, the flames were already getting bigger when I went there." The monk said calmly.
Li Wei was stunned. He stood up and looked into the distance. It was indeed that it was not smoke. He began to recall his professional knowledge as a forest fire fighter in his previous life. It had become a raging fire, and it seemed that if it was in the mountains and forests,
If it does, it will become a forest fire.
Monk An Zhen looked very calm, as if he was used to it, and seemed numb.
It was only then that Li Wei saw his feet and realized that he was not wearing clogs. He wrapped his feet with cloth strips and walked for hundreds of kilometers. Now the cloth strips began to dye red.
"Don't you wear shoes?"
"This is part of the penance. I came down the mountain for the purpose of penance." Monk An Zhen continued.
"Penancement?" Li Wei's tone couldn't help but be surprised.
An Zhen looked at Li Wei, and this time he explained very seriously: "Suffering in the world is constant. When I suffer enough, then the suffering of the world will be less, and that will be enough."
Enough."
Levi suddenly became speechless. He looked at the monk in front of him seriously. He continued to realize that the difference in outlook on people in this world was so huge that it was no longer necessary to talk about any philosophical issues.
"However, your hard work will not reduce the war in Genpei, and as long as the war does not disappear, your so-called suffering for the world will have no meaning."
"That's because I haven't suffered enough." An Zhen continued.
Well, you can never convince a sadhu, let alone change his values.
Li Wei felt that this topic should be left behind, so he looked at the tiger-headed eagle in An Zhen's hand. The combat effectiveness of this thing was not weak. Li Wei didn't know how the monk got this thing.
"It was there next to the flames. It suffered from heatstroke. It fell from the sky and broke its neck." An Zhen placed the tiger-headed eagle on the ground and began to bleed and pluck out its hair expertly.
I believe you, the Buddha will cry if you behave like this.
The corner of Li Wei's mouth twitched, but suddenly he seemed to think that the monks on Weiyuan's side couldn't help but feel astringent. In other words, their teachings were that there was no problem with eating meat, drinking alcohol, and marrying a wife.
The monk skillfully bled and plucked the hair, and then quickly disposed of the tiger eagle. Then he skillfully came to the fire and started roasting it.
The two of them quickly finished their dinner, and a tiger eagle weighing several dozen kilograms was eaten quickly. The meat was very old and tender, but there was nothing picky about it in this era.
Li Wei also asked about some topics of penance. The penance here is different from what Li Wei thinks. They use foreign objects to torture themselves deliberately, such as deliberately walking throughout the Weiyuan without wearing shoes.
Or maybe they deliberately put spikes on their backs or something like that.
When it comes to food, I eat what I have, I won’t be picky about food, and I won’t waste anything.
They will think that doing so will make the world suffer less and that the sea of suffering will have an end.
When night fell, Li Wei saw Shendu. This time, both of them walked very quickly. Last time, it took Li Wei three days to take Shanbuki to Shendu, but now it only took more than a day.
It's already late at night here in the city of God, and the door is closed.
Kamito is the base camp of the Taira family. The war has not yet been felt here, but according to historical records, Minamoto Yoshitsune and Minamoto Yoritomo will soon arrive here and completely occupy Kamito.
"Let's go back to the city tomorrow." Li Wei said this, and Monk An Zhen did not object.
Now both the Genpei family are nervous. If they forcefully enter the city, there will probably be a completely unnecessary battle. Li Wei has no interest in the Genpei battle in this era.
There are many mountain villages around Shendu, so Li Wei and the two decided to just find a place to stay for the night.
He came to a farmhouse, and Monk Anzhen immediately knocked on the door. In this era, ordinary people have very good senses about monks, and the influence of monks among ordinary people is much greater than that of priests.
Soon the door opened.
However, this time, Li Wei frowned.
The person who opened the door was a beautiful woman wearing silk cloth. In this era, cyan silk cloth was definitely not something that a woman in such a mountain village could afford.
The most important thing is that Levi's tracking skills started to shine, which means that the extremely beautiful woman in front of him is a demon.
"Little Monk An Zhen, the gate of the city of God has been closed today. We are staying here for the night." An Zhen just clasped her hands together and didn't even look at the woman in green clothes who was so cool that the long groove in front of her body was exposed.
From beginning to end, in his eyes, there may be no difference between women and that tiger eagle.
"No, adults, please come in, are there only two of them?" The green-haired woman looked at Li Wei who was wearing a mask, and then didn't care, but turned slightly to make way.
"I'm sorry." Monk An Zhen bowed and then stepped inside.
"No need. All my family members have been drafted away, leaving me alone to live." The woman in green clothes said, handed over two pots of tea, and slowly sat down in front of Monk An Zhen, almost leaning against him.
Said, "Sorry, I forgot, my name is Qing Ji."
"Bangdang..."
The tea cup in Levi's hand fell on the chopping board.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, nothing..." Levi stood up and took the rag handed over by Qingji.
He finally understood why the name An Zhen sounded familiar to him. When it came to An Zhen, he didn't think of it, but when it came to Qing Ji...
Monk Anzhen, the reckless hero Xu Xian known as Fusang...
