Zhou Qin and Masako Tachibana heard the voice and looked over involuntarily. They saw a woman wearing a cherry blossom kimono running over in small steps. It was the woman Zhou Qin had met before.
When Masako Tachibana saw her, she was stunned and said in surprise: "Mother?"
The red-robed monk who had been reciting sutras in a low voice without paying attention at this time also raised his head and opened his eyes to look at the woman in great surprise. He stood up and asked in surprise: "Ju Hezi, you
Why did you come out?"
He saw that the gloom that had been concealed in Ju Hezi's brows was completely gone. Although his expression was a little anxious, there was a profound feeling of enlightenment in his eyes: "Once you gain enlightenment, you will die later."
The red-robed monk suddenly widened his eyes and asked, "Ju Hezi, have you achieved enlightenment?!"
Tachibana Heko quickly walked up to the hut. She put her hands together in front of her and placed her palms flat on the inside of her thighs. She bowed slightly towards the red-robed monk and said respectfully: "Kasai Hikaru"
Master Yi, we meet again! We haven’t seen you for a long time!”
Masakasai Mitsuyoshi, the 413th great monk of the Shingon Esoteric Sect, clasped his hands together and said with a surprised look on his face: "Amitabha, Tachibana Tsuruko, I didn't expect you to have truly understood the great path! I'm so happy and congratulated!"
At this time, behind Ju Hezi, Ju Zhizi also trotted over. She ran to the door, looked at Zhou Qin, and then at her mother Ju Masako.
When Tachibana Masako saw her, he frowned and glared at her sharply, as if asking: Why did you alert your mother?
Ju Zhizi secretly stuck out his tongue, not daring to speak. He immediately hid behind Ju Hezi, made a face to his mother, and said with a sly and argumentative look: It's not me, it's grandma who wants to come!
Tachibana Masako stood up, bowed respectfully to Tachibana Hezi, and said: "Mother, congratulations on your enlightenment and coming out of seclusion! But, why are you here?"
Tachibana Hezi also bowed politely to his daughter and said, "I came here to ask you something."
Ju Masako glanced at Zhou Qin quickly, frowned, and said slightly unhappy: "Mother, do you want to plead for her?"
Juhezi smiled slightly: "Yes, please agree."
The relationship between superiors and subordinates in Japan is very strict. Although Tachibana Tsuruko is Tachibana Masako's mother, because Tachibana Masako is the current enshrinement and serves as the head of the Tachibana family and the goddess, and Tachibana Tsuruko is only the former head of the family and the former goddess, so although Tachibana Tsuruko
She was Tachibana Masako's mother, but her words revealed a sense of humility and respect.
Tachibana Masako said angrily: "Mother, don't you know that she injured the monk who protected the mountain, offended the Nemoto Tower, rushed into the Okuyuan, and committed many unforgivable crimes? If I let her go like this, what do you want me to do?
Explain to others? Do you know if we do this, how will people from other schools chew on us behind our backs?”
Tachibana Heko sighed softly, she took off her clogs, walked onto the tatami with small steps, then knelt down and said softly: "Tachibana Masako, I know what she did. But please look at this
For my sake, let her go."
Tachibana Masako said angrily: "Why?"
Ju Hezi glanced at Zhou Qin and said, "Because it was she who made me realize the truth!"
Tachibana Masako's face was suddenly filled with shock, and she looked at Zhou Qin in disbelief: "Her? She is just a cultivator who has just entered the golden body realm. Can she enlighten you? Mother, are you confused?"
Tachibana Hezi sighed softly: "Tachibana Masako, you are the one who is confused! Don't you know that the sage Confucius was also taught by children? Haven't you read the allusion of two children arguing about the sun? The great road is invisible.
Da Yin Xi Sheng, it doesn’t mean that whoever has high cultivation level must master the avenue. Sometimes it is around us, but we just didn’t pay attention to it. If Zhou Qin hadn’t barged in here and inadvertently pointed me out,
I'm afraid I'm still stuck in the mystery."
Tachibana Masako glared at Zhou Qin unwillingly, and said, "But mother, she just said something unintentionally!"
Ju Hezi smiled and said: "That's right! There is a sentence in the first chapter of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" written by Pu Songling. I once said to you on your tenth birthday, Ju Masako, do you still remember it?
?
Tachibana Masako said without thinking: "Remember, you said at that time: If you intend to do good, you will not be rewarded even if you are good; if you do evil without intention, you will not be punished even if you are evil! But what does this have to do with Zhou Qin's matter?"
Juhezi smiled slightly and said, "If you do good deeds with intention, you won't be rewarded even though you are good. But if you do good deeds without intention, should you be rewarded? Even though I didn't leave my house, I know what happened just now at the foot of the mountain.
The monks who protected the mountain were also at fault for the whole thing. If they had not used illusions to find out the details of Zhou Qin and thus offended her, such a thing would not have happened. This should be regarded as unintentional evil. Moreover, considering that she is just a
For the sake of the messenger, Tachibana Masako, you... better let her go!"
Tachibana Masako lowered her head in disbelief and looked at her mother. She was shocked: "Mother, you actually interceded for her like this for an outsider? She whipped our monks in Mount Koya and defiled the Nemoto Pagoda. Is this an unintentional evil act?"
Ju Hezi said: "When the strong are chasing, the weak are looking for self-protection. How can they take so much care? If you want to blame the elk for trampling to death a frog because the liger chased an elk, then I think
Masako Tachibana, there is something very wrong with your way of cultivation!"
Tachibana Masako has been invincible in the past ten years. She not only has a high prestige among the Shingon Tantric Sect, but also has a high prestige in the entire Japanese spiritual world. She is at the peak of her spirit at this time. Where can I hear it?
If so?
She looked at her mother with shock and anger, and shouted angrily: "Mother! You actually doubt my way of cultivation?"
Tachibana Hezi saw that her daughter's face had changed with anger. She sighed inwardly, knelt on the ground with her upper body, and said: "Tachibana Masako, if my words offended you, please forgive me! But... I believe
A few years later, you will understand what I am saying now!"
Tachibana Masako couldn't help laughing angrily. Zhou Qin on the side saw that they had been talking rapidly in Japanese. Although he couldn't understand what they were saying, Zhou Qin could roughly tell what they were saying by observing their words and expressions.
say what.
Zhou Qin turned to Juhezi who was lying on the ground and said: "Are you begging for mercy on my behalf? If so, thank you, but no! If she really has the ability to keep me, then let her try!
"
After hearing her words, Tachibana Masako immediately turned her head, stared at her sharply, and shouted: "Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like this again and again!"
Tachibana Masako's sharp shout made the surrounding air seem to shatter like glass. The power was so powerful and terrifying that Zhou Qin's skin tightened, and then the cold hairs all over his body seemed to explode.
The hair on six thousand pores instantly stood on end!!
Zhou Qin was overwhelmed by Ju Zhizi's momentum for a moment, and was suffocated involuntarily, but soon she reacted, her eyebrows were raised and she wanted to take action unconvinced, but at this time Ju Zhizi quietly pulled her
Xiuxi, shouted in Chinese in a low voice: "Silly sister, please stop arguing with my mother. She is so cruel. Do you really want to be left here?"
Zhou Qin knew very well that she was definitely not Ju Zhizi's opponent, but she just couldn't get off the stage for a while. When she heard Ju Zhizi's words, she suddenly felt a chill in her heart and thought to herself: Yes, if I am left, Li Yundong will
What should I do if I lose the fight with Masako Tachibana because my hands are tied up because of my relationship?
Thinking of this joint, Zhou Qin's arrogance suddenly disappeared. She stopped talking. She lowered her eyebrows and looked at her nose and heart, as if she had transformed from a prickly head into a docile lady in an instant.
Ju Hezi sighed softly at this time and said: "Ju Masako, I know what you are thinking. Do you want to detain her so that when the time comes to fight with Li Yundong, he will be distracted and take advantage of her?
?When did we in Koyasan become so hopeless?”
Tachibana Masako heard Tachibana Hezi talking about Li Yundong several times, and she finally couldn't help but became furious. She turned around and shouted at Tachibana Zhizi: "Did you tell her these things?"
Ju Zhizi quickly waved his hands vigorously: "No, no, I just told grandma some of what I saw and heard when I went down the mountain!"
Tachibana Hezi sighed softly: "It's not what Tachibana Zhizi said. Don't think that I don't know anything because I haven't left there for more than ten years. Tachibana Masako, I'm not old enough to be blind yet!"
Tachibana Masako said angrily: "How can I take advantage of this Li Yundong? Mother, you have to have a limit when you look down on me! Do you think it is easy for me to support the Guyi Sect for more than ten years? If there is no explanation for this matter,
Do you know how much trouble I'd be in?"
Tachibana Hezi looked at his daughter with sympathy and said: "I have figured out the secret of how to make up for the biggest flaw in our goddess lineage. Tachibana Masako, as long as you let her go, I will tell you this secret. If
If you don't let her go, then... you will lose on the day of the fight!"
Masako Tachibana was furious: "I will lose? Mother, do you think I will lose?"
Juhezi raised his head at this time, looked at his daughter without giving an inch, and said seriously every word: "Yes, with your current state of mind, you will lose!"
Tachibana Masako's anger reached the extreme, she laughed angrily and said: "Okay! For your sake, I will let her go! In a few days, I will defeat him in front of everyone in the Japanese spiritual world, and let you
Do you know if I will lose? In addition, I don’t want to know your so-called secret, and I have no interest in knowing it! I have defeated all the invincible players in the world in the past ten years, and I did not rely on my continuous fighting skills for more than ten years!
"
Tachibana Hezi sighed secretly in her heart. She didn't want to argue with her daughter. She just leaned down again and said to Tachibana Masako in a respectful tone: "So, thank you very much. I wish you victory."
When Tachibana Masako heard what she said, she felt that every word was harsh and every sentence was heartbreaking. She pointed to the door and said angrily: "Get out! Get out of here, all of you!!"
At this time, Ju Zhizi pulled Zhou Qin's clothes with a frightened look on his face, signaling her to follow him quickly. Zhou Qin also knew that this was not the time to show off as a hero, and coupled with Ju Zhizi's roar just now, it was indeed a bit embarrassing.
Feeling fear in her heart, she turned around and left without saying a word.
Kasai Mitsuyoshi, who had been silent and reciting scriptures in a low voice, now opened his eyes and glanced at Zhou Qin's leaving figure. He sighed softly and said in a low voice: "It is easy to let a tiger return to the mountain, but it is difficult to capture a dragon in the sea.
Ah! Amitabha!"
When Masako Tachibana heard this sentence, a fierce light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Zhou Qin left the Aoyuan quickly. Seeing Ju Zhizi accompanying her, the monks who were about to arrest her stopped for a moment and just glared at her angrily.
After leaving Mount Koya, Tachibana patted his chest and said with a frightened look on his face: "I sent you here. You can go back by yourself. Don't make my mother so angry next time. She is amazing! You
Leave quickly before she regrets it."
Zhou Qin had always had a bad impression of Ju Zhizi due to what happened at the lotus picking competition, but now that she was out of the tiger's mouth, it reduced Li Yundong's worries, and she was secretly grateful in her heart.
Zhou Qin smiled and was about to speak, but at this moment he suddenly saw a huge statue of a goddess suddenly appearing on Mount Koya.
This goddess statue was formed by the gathering of clouds in the sky. This woman was holding a sharp sword, and her face could be vaguely identified as Tachibana Masako. She raised the long sword in her hand high and suddenly slashed it down!
Ju Zhizi suddenly exclaimed: "No, mom, she broke her promise, run away!"
