These three people are none other than Su Chan, Ziyuan and Zhou Qin!
According to Ziyuan's plan, the three of them secretly followed Li Yundong to Mount Koya, and then disguised themselves as ascetics from the Pure Land Sect.≧
Because the ascetics have to travel around on foot and ask for alms along the way, they all wear bamboo hats on their heads and hold Zen staffs. The bamboo hats can protect them from wind and rain, and the Zen staff can help them subjugate demons along the way. At the same time, in order to hone themselves, all ascetics are
They wore straw sandals, but none of them wore cloth shoes like the three of them.
With Ziyuan's meticulousness and Zhou Qin's shrewdness, they naturally thought of this, but when the three of them put on the straw sandals, they found that the six feet in the sandals were delicate and white, as jade as porcelain, and they did not look like those of an ascetic monk at all.
Feet!
In particular, Su Chan's toenails exude a charming pink color. Even when worn in simple straw sandals, they look like ten small pink petals.
The three stunning beauties looked at each other's feet and had no choice but to smile bitterly and find three pairs of cloth shoes!
Others cannot see these details, but how could the monks guarding the entrance to the courtyard not see these details? How can any ascetic of the Pure Land Sect wear cloth shoes?
The three monks stared at the cloth shoes on their feet with suspicious eyes, looking at them for a moment.
Su Chan, who was walking in the middle, was so chilled by the people around her that she could not help but whisper: "Sister Ziyuan, we seem to have been discovered and can't get in. What should we do?"
Zhou Qin, who was behind her, immediately used the cover of his body to poke her gently and whispered: "Stop talking!"
Ziyuan also sent a message: "Don't talk! Follow me!"
Ziyuan walked in the front, her head still lowered and her hat held low. She suddenly turned in front of everyone and walked onto another stone road, heading in the other direction of the royal courtyard.
Su Chan was about to secretly breathe a sigh of relief when she saw a Japanese reporter rushing over and yelling at her.
Su Chan was dumbfounded. She didn't understand Japanese, so how could she know what the other party was saying? Li Yundong could carry a translator with him and put headphones in his ears, but they couldn't!
Where are the Japanese ascetics from the Pure Land Sect who put headphones in their ears?
Not only Su Chan, but Zhou Qin also didn't understand Japanese. The two of them suddenly froze and became highly alert.
Zhou Qin even subconsciously touched the Vulcan Whip hidden in his waist. His whole body was covered with true energy, which would explode at any time.
The three monks at the entrance of the royal courtyard were all paying attention to the three of them. As soon as Zhou Qin mobilized his true energy, they also felt an inexplicable danger spreading everywhere, and they couldn't help but become vigilant.
When Su Chan saw the situation in front of her, she suddenly had an idea. She pointed a finger at herself in a pretentious manner, then shook it again, then turned around and said in a very soft voice that only Ziyuan could hear.
He urged anxiously: "Sister Ziyuan, hurry up!"
Ziyuan did not dare to stop and continued walking forward.
The Japanese reporter watched them leave, but did not stop them anymore. Instead, he showed a look of surprise.
At this time, a female reporter approached him and asked curiously: "Aoki-kun, why don't these monks speak?"
Aoki smiled quite proudly and said: "I asked them which sect they were monks from. The monk in the middle pointed at his mouth and then shook it. Do you know what this means?"
The female reporter asked: "You mean, she is mute?"
Aoki laughed: "No, no! She means that she is a person who practices silent meditation!"
The female reporter said with admiration: "So that's it, Aoki-kun, you know so much!"
Qingmu smiled and said: "Where! What I'm just curious about is... people who practice silent meditation usually prepare a small wooden sign with the words 'forbidden words' and 'stop talking' written on it. Once someone comes to talk to them, they will
Take out the small wooden sign. But...why don't these people have it?"
The female reporter laughed: "Maybe they are newcomers?"
Aoki looked at the backgrounds of Su Chan and the three of them, shook his head and sighed: "Maybe, it must be very difficult for three female monks to travel ascetically!" After saying that, he turned around and no longer looked at Su Chan and others.
.
Even the three Shingon Tantric monks at the entrance of the courtyard gave up their doubts after seeing Su Chan's actions, turned their heads, and stopped looking at them.
Little did Su Chan know that her original intention was to pretend to be mute, but she mistakenly made the other party think that she was an ascetic who practiced "closed mouth Zen". Among the Buddhist schools in the world, the closed mouth Zen of the Pure Land Sect is the most famous.
Master Lianchi, the eminent monk of the Ming Dynasty and the eighth ancestor of the Pure Land Sect, said in "The Benefits of Quietness" in his "Essays on the Bamboo Window": The ancients said that if you don't speak for twenty years, even the Buddha will do nothing to you!
Su Chan, Ziyuan and Zhou Qin walked far away and came to a remote and uninhabited place. Su Chan patted his chest and said with a look of shock: "I was scared to death. I thought Yundong was not here yet."
If the fight starts, we will be exposed!"
Ziyuan couldn't help but praise: "Su Chan, you did a good job just now. Even I didn't think of using silent words to avoid the other party's conversations and inquiries. To be honest, this can be regarded as my mistake. Fortunately, you reacted quickly!
"
Zhou Qin couldn't help but laugh and joke: "Su Chan, you can do it! You are usually silly and don't show off, but you are reliable at critical moments!"
When Su Chan heard Ziyuan's praise, her face looked triumphant. But after hearing the first half of Zhou Qin's words, her face suddenly fell. But after hearing the next half of her words, her eyes immediately turned into crescent moons with smiles.
Su Chan said with a smile: "Actually, I want to say that I am mute and cannot speak!"
Ziyuan was stunned: "Didn't you think of hiding by keeping silent?"
Su Chan also wondered: "I don't have a small wooden sign with me, how can I pretend to keep silent?"
Zhou Qin burst into laughter: "Originally, I wanted to praise you for your quick reactions and keen awareness of opportunities, but I didn't expect that you were a blind cat who just ran into a dead mouse!"
After Zhou Qin said this, Ziyuan on the side couldn't help laughing: "What good luck. If those monks come to question us, it will be troublesome! We must pay attention next time, we can't have such good luck all the time!
This is the headquarters of the Shingon Tantric Sect, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed!"
Su Chan, however, had no intention of going deep into the tiger's den. Her eyes were full of excitement and she said with a playful smile: "It's okay, it's okay. Even Yun Dong said that I am stupid and blessed!"
Zhou Qin pointed at Su Chan and laughed: "You finally admit that you are stupid?"
Su Chan stamped her feet and said: "I hate it!" The little girl didn't want to get entangled with Zhou Qin on this topic, so she changed the topic and turned to Ziyuan and asked: "Sister Ziyuan, what should we do now? It seems that things are not planned now.
It’s within.”
Ziyuan thought for a while and said: "It's part of the plan now. I just tested it to see the attitude and vigilance of the monks at the door. Now it seems that they are very vigilant, so let's wait here. I won't
I believe that the fighting will begin to gain strength after a while, and their vigilance will still be so high!"
Zhou Qin also nodded in agreement and said: "That's right, who doesn't want to see the duel between two top masters? All the masters in Japan's cultivation world are here, let alone them?"
Su Chan also said with some excitement: "We will take action after the battle begins!"
Zhou Qin laughed: "Su Chan, I didn't expect that what you said before coming here, 'Three cobblers are equal to Zhuge Liang', has really come true!"
Su Chan made a face at Zhou Qin: "It's three cobblers!"
Zhou Qin burst out laughing, and Ziyuan smiled and whispered: "Stop laughing, keep a low profile, and don't attract other people's attention. There are still a lot of monks patrolling the mountains here."
Before she finished speaking, two monks walked up not far away. The two monks saw the three of them at a glance and bowed from a distance. Su Chan, Ziyuan and Zhou Qin also bowed in return, and then put on their bamboo hats.
He kept his head low and quickly hid his body in the dense cedar forest.
At this time, the Seimei Shrine in Kamikyo District, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, welcomed an unexpected visitor.
Liu Ye slowly got off the Japanese bus and arrived at his destination "Ichitoro Bridge" bus stop. He took a quick look and saw that the famous "Ichitoro Bridge" was actually an extremely ordinary asphalt strip.
On the road bridge, the water under the bridge has long dried up, and only the word "戾 bridge" is written in Chinese characters on the railing at the head of the bridge.
Liu Ye couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "To think that the residence of the famous Abe Seimei turned into this now! I wonder if there is still a Shikigami of Onmyoji hiding under this barbaric bridge?
"
After the death of his mentor, Japan's famous onmyoji Abe Seimei moved his residence to this place, which was the intersection of Heian Kyotsuchimikado Road and Nishitoin Road at that time.
Liu Ye looked around and saw that this was the "Gen" position in the northeast of Ouchi, also known as the "Ghost Gate". As a professional Onmyoji, he moved his residence here for the purpose of
Echoing and coordinating with Mount Hiei's Enryaku Temple located in the "Gen" position in the northeast of Kyoto, it forms a dual deterrent to prevent the invasion of demons and suppress the demons from breaking through the seal.
Liu Ye laughed loudly: "Good means, good means! I asked you why you hid the soul of Tianji Xuanhu here, I see, that's it! Abe Seimei, although Tianji Xuanhu was not sealed by you, but
...You are such a far-sighted person! Did you foresee that Japan would suffer such a disaster within a hundred years, so you moved your residence here?"
Liu Ye seemed to be filled with an unconcealed sense of pride that his great work was about to be accomplished. He whispered to himself in a low voice. When the Japanese passing by saw him whispering in a low voice, they thought he was a psycho and looked at him strangely.
After taking one look at him, he stayed away from him.
Liu Ye didn't mind either. He looked at the scenery around him and walked slowly towards Seimei Shrine.
In Liu Ye's view, compared with many shrines in Japan, Seimei Shrine, where Abe Seimei is buried, is extremely small. There are even ordinary residential buildings next to the shrine. There is only a stone monument and a stone archway at the entrance of the shrine.
There are four Chinese characters written vertically and horizontally: Seimei Shrine.
After walking into Seimei Shrine, I saw a very small stone bridge in the courtyard, called Ichijo Bridge, but it was just a miniature of the original bridge outside. Next to the miniature bridge, there was even a white screen specially used for tourists to take photos. On the screen
There is a scene of Seimei fighting ghosts, with the face deliberately hollowed out in a circular shape. Some tourists are gathering behind the screen to reveal their faces, pretending to be Seimei or a little ghost, and taking photos for fun.
Compared with some ancient shrines, this shrine, which has existed for nearly a thousand years, has been renovated and looks new and clean everywhere. It does not have the slightest sense of history and antiquity. Instead, some snack bars full of Japanese classical flavor add to the shrine.
It has a different flavor.
Liu Ye walked to Seimei Shrine and came to a medium-sized stone tablet placed in the corner. This stone tablet was ordinary, except that it was engraved with a deep and bright red pentagonal pattern, which is unique to Onmyoji.
, a charm pattern used to subjugate demons!
Liu Ye looked at the bright red five-pointed star pattern on the big stone tablet and laughed softly: "Who could have imagined... that in such an inconspicuous place, the strongest nine-tailed sky fox in thousands of years is sealed?"
At this time, behind Liu Ye, some tourists from foreign countries and other places in Japan were still happily taking photos at various pocket attractions of Seimei Shrine, pointing at the surrounding scenery, and some vendors at snack bars greeted them enthusiastically.
There are many customers, and the aroma wafts out from the store, lingering next to the Japanese lanterns at the door, exuding a peaceful and festive atmosphere everywhere.
But none of them know that soon before their eyes, a monster that has caused huge waves in both China and Japan will be resurrected!
The spiritual world in China and Japan will usher in a bloody storm!
Well, I got up early this morning and quickly updated a chapter, because in the afternoon I have to rush to Nanjing to attend the Youth Entrepreneurship Conference of the Jiangsu Provincial Writers Association. As a new member, we can't be late, right?
The date for the Youth Entrepreneurship Association is to report on the 23rd, hold meetings on the 24th and 25th, and return to Suzhou on the 26th.
I've tried my best to keep it updated in the past few days. If there are any delays, I ask all you book friends to forgive me. Thank you very much!
