Chapter 619 Distinguish the Illusionary Reality Under the Koya Mountain
Early the next morning, Zhou Qin went out early. Since he was going deep into the dragon pond and tiger's den and setting foot in another world of cultivation, Zhou Qin made all the preparations and homework that night. For her safety, Li Yundong put the colorful brocade
Both the bag and the sword were handed over to Zhou Qin and asked her to take them with them.
In order to emphasize his official background, Zhou Qin did not fly all the way to Mount Koya as a Yangshen. Instead, he chose to take a high-speed train to Shanghai first, and then transfer to a plane to fly directly to Osaka.
Mount Koya is located in Koya Town, Ito County, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan. Zhou Qin arrived in Osaka by plane, then took a train to Mount Koya, and finally took a cable car up the mountain.
Since this was the transition between late winter and early spring, there was a heavy snowfall in Ito County. The white snow covered Mount Koya in a white blanket. In addition, Mount Koya is located at a higher altitude, so the temperature on the mountain is even lower than on the ground.
It was more than ten degrees Celsius, and it seemed extremely bitingly cold.
Due to such heavy snow, Koya Mountain was closed early. When Zhou Qin went up the mountain, he found that the huge Koya Mountain was sparsely populated. There were only a few monks wearing brown monk robes and yellow bamboo hats walking slowly at the foot of Koya Mountain.
Zhou Qin took a quick look and saw that these people were holding heavy demon-conquering vajra pestles. Although the weather was cold, they were all walking in the snow with bare feet and straw sandals.
The vajra in the hands of these monks is astonishingly long, about 1.6 meters high. There is a copper ring hanging on one end of the vajra. Every time the monks take a step, the copper ring on the vajra will make a steady crisp sound. This sound is heard in the empty space.
The sound echoed in the gloomy Koyasan Mountains, making it look particularly ethereal and mysterious.
These monks were like monks patrolling the mountains. As soon as they saw Zhou Qin, they walked straight over. The monk raised his hands and saluted him and said a few words in Japanese.
Zhou Qin's English is excellent, but she cannot understand Japanese. She looked reserved and said in Chinese with a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "I have something to ask you, Mr. Masako Tachibana."
The monk was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't thought that the woman in front of him was not Japanese. He turned his head and glanced at a monk behind him. Then, a monk looked at Zhou Qin strangely, and he stepped forward.
Come, hold the vajra in one hand, and make a palm with the other hand to salute, and said in quite standard Chinese: "This donor, I think you have made a mistake. Where is the tachibana here? Furthermore, everyone is equal before the Buddha.
What is there to say about adults and villains?”
Japanese Buddhism originated in China and was deeply influenced by Chinese Buddhism. The scriptures and classics collected by many Japanese temples are mostly original Chinese works, and some scriptures even have Chinese and Japanese bilingual translations. In the past, if you wanted to become a true Buddhist in Japan,
It is impossible for a senior monk to not understand Chinese. In addition, Koyasan is a famous tourist attraction, and a large number of Chinese tourists come to visit it every year. Therefore, there are also many monks in the temple who have learned Chinese well. Zhou Qin heard that
I even feel that this Japanese monk speaks Chinese more smoothly than many Chinese.
But the other party actually denied the existence of Masako Tachibana. Zhou Qin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and asked: "Aren't you a monk from Kongangfeng Temple?"
The monk smiled slightly and said: "This is Kongangfeng Temple, and we are all monks here. However, due to heavy snow today, Mount Koya has been closed. Donor, if you want to visit and enjoy, I am afraid you will be disappointed today."
Only then did Zhou Qin realize that because he had come all the way here, his aura was reserved, and the other party was treating him as an ordinary person, so he wanted to ask her to leave.
Zhou Qin smiled slightly, glanced at the vajra in the monk's hand, and said with a smile: "How long is the vajra in your hand? Sixteen fingers? Twenty fingers? Look, one end of your vajra is in the shape of a drum, and the other end is in the shape of a drum.
It is in the shape of a triangular belt with a sharp point. There are three Buddha statues in the middle of the vajra as the handle. One Buddha statue is in the shape of a smile, one is in the shape of angry eyes, and one is in the shape of scolding. Hey, if my guess is correct, this should be specially used to ward off demons.
The demon-conquering Vajra that protects the Tao, right?"
The monk looked surprised. He looked at Zhou Qin carefully and asked in confusion: "How do you know this?"
Zhou Qin laughed. She put her hand on her waist, and a flash of silver light flashed in front of her. The blazing moon appeared in front of her instantly, suspended in mid-air.
This cold jagged diamond wheel looks particularly stunning under the refraction of the white snow. It emits a dazzling silver light all over its body, and the exquisite imprinted pattern on it is turning over waves of silver ripples, which is magnificent.
.
Zhou Qin said with a smile: "Because I also have such a treasure that can subdue demons and protect the Tao!"
Only then did the monk realize that the other person was also a practitioner!
His expression suddenly changed and he asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
Several other monks around this monk also slowly dispersed with alert expressions, quietly surrounding Zhou Qin in the middle, watching with eager eyes.
Zhou Qin knew that he was weak alone, so he definitely couldn't fight with others. After all, this is the headquarters of the Mantra Tantric Sect, not a place for fun. If he fights with others, he will take it upon himself.
Not to mention the humiliation, the most embarrassing thing is that when the time comes, Li Yundong will come to rescue him, and he will be embarrassed at his grandma's house.
Zhou Qin smiled slightly, and with a move of his hand, Chiyue instantly flew into the colorful brocade bag around her waist. She smiled and said, "My name is Zhou Qin, and I want to meet your goddess Masako Tachibana!"
The monk's face was as dark as water and he said: "Master Ju Masako, can you see me whenever you want?"
Zhou Qin couldn't help laughing: "Just now, I said that everyone is equal before the Buddha, and now I keep saying that one is taller than Masako Tachibana, and the other is shorter than Masako Tachibana! Since everyone is equal, why can't I see her?"
The monk's expression changed. He struck the demon-conquering vajra in his hand against the snow and shouted coldly: "What a sharp-tongued woman! Are you here to look for trouble in our Koya Mountains?"
The surrounding monks also shook the demon-conquering vajra in their hands. The ring-shaped copper rings on the top of the pestle collided with each other, making a harsh ringing sound. The surrounding air was shaken by it, revealing a fierce murderous intent.
Zhou Qin glanced at them and sneered: "I think you made a mistake. It was your Lord Masako Tachibana who begged to see me...it wasn't me who wanted to see her!"
Masako Tachibana is the head of the Tachibana family. Although she is not a believer in Shingon Tantric Buddhism, she is a great worshiper of Shingon Tantric Buddhism. Furthermore, the Tachibana family has a very close relationship with the great monks of the past dynasties. Although strictly speaking,
People of the Tachibana family are not considered practitioners of the Shingon Tantra, but they are women who hold great power in the Shingon Tantra and are highly respected.
In a world like Japan where men are superior to women and the upper and lower classes are extremely strict, the Tachibana family is a rare powerful and powerful person among Japanese women. Even after the Tachibana family and the great monks of Mount Koya merged for several generations, the practitioners of Shingon Tantric Buddhism
They have begun to respect and worship the people of the Tachibana family as the guardians of the Shingon Tantric Sect.
When the monk heard what Zhou Qin said, he was furious and shouted: "How dare you disrespect Lord Ju Masako!" He raised the vajra in his hand, pointed at the bottom of the mountain, and shouted: "Please leave immediately,
Otherwise, don’t blame us for being rude!”
Zhou Qin laughed instead of being angry. She glanced at the monk and sneered: "You want me to leave? Okay, don't regret it later!"
With that said, she turned and left.
When the other monks saw her leaving, they had no intention of stopping her and just stared at her back warily.
The Chinese-speaking monk saw Zhou Qin leaving immediately. He was stunned for a moment, with a suspicious look on his face. He quickly turned around and whispered a few words in Japanese to the monk.
The monk pondered for a moment, and then whispered a few words to the monk who could speak Chinese. Soon the monk who could speak Chinese shouted loudly at Zhou Qin's figure: "Please wait a moment!"
Zhou Qin turned around with a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "What?"
The monk walked up to Zhou Qin, bowed, and said, "If you are really Lord Ju Masako's guest, please tell me your name!"
Zhou Qin smiled and turned around: "Go and tell Ju Masako that the Li Yundong she wants to see is here."
The monk's face became more and more confused, but he did not dare to be careless. He turned around and whispered a few words to the monk in charge, and then quickly ran towards the Vajra Peak Temple on the mountain.
Zhou Qin Yingying stood in the snow. After waiting for about ten minutes, the monk came running all the way, put one hand into a palm, bowed respectfully, and said: "It turns out that Master Li is here. Please come quickly. Please come quickly."
!”
When Zhou Qin saw that they thought she was Li Yundong, she didn't say anything and walked inside with a smile.
She walked a few steps and came to the entrance of Konggangfeng Temple. In front of the gates on both sides were yellow shrines, and in the shrines was a wooden barrel filled with water.
Zhou Qin walked up the stone steps at the entrance, and saw towering ancient trees on both sides, with dense shade. It was as if she had entered another world. What surprised her especially was: wherever she walked, there were two sides of the stone steps on the mountain road.
A white light will automatically light up, like countless white paper lanterns hanging in the forest.
Even though it was daytime, Zhou Qin still felt a strong light shrouding herself, giving her an inexplicable feeling, as if she was entering a temple and fairyland.
Just as Zhou Qin was about to take a step, he suddenly saw Li Yundong standing not far away, looking at him with a smile on his face, as if he had been waiting for her here for a long time.
Zhou Qin was immediately shocked and subconsciously blurted out: "Master? Why are you here? When did you come? You"
Li Yundong walked up to Zhou Qin, with a gentle smile on his face, and said softly: "I was worried about you, so I followed you."
Zhou Qin felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "I'm fine. I'm a person with an official background. They don't dare to do anything to me. Master, you are here now. Aren't you afraid that they will detain you?"
Li Yundong walked up to Zhou Qin, gently took her hand, and said with a smile: "I care more about your safety than myself."
Zhou Qin's heart suddenly started pounding. She couldn't believe that Li Yundong would say such words to her at this time.
Although Li Yundong had been kind and gentle to him before, it was more under special circumstances. Although Zhou Qin was keenly aware that Li Yundong had a vague affection for him, he always stuck to that.
A line, treat yourself with courtesy.
The scene in front of Zhou Qin was a scene that Zhou Qin dreamed about night after night and thought about day and night. He came so suddenly and was such a surprise!
Zhou Qin looked at Li Yundong blankly, his heart felt like it was going to explode with joy, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
In front of her, Li Yundong seemed to know Zhou Qin's thoughts. He put his arms around her slender waist, pulled her into his arms, and then lowered his head to kiss her with his fragrant lips.
Zhou Qin felt that her whole body was soft and warm. She subconsciously stretched out her hand to block Li Yundong's mouth, and vaguely asked a sentence hidden deep in her subconscious: "What should I do with Su Chan?"
Li Yundong in front of him smiled slightly and said, "Actually, you are the one I love most!"
Zhou Qin’s whole body suddenly trembled!
Her body that was shaking with excitement gradually calmed down, and the ecstasy in her eyes slowly settled. Zhou Qin pushed Li Yundong away, her voice became a little cold, and she said slowly: "The Li Yundong I know
You are the most kind and righteous man in the world, and he would never say such a thing! Who are you!"
