Japan, Wakayama Prefecture, Mount Koya, in Okuno-in, a dense forest with many tombstones, a beautiful woman wearing a plain kimono is kneeling on the tatami. She is wearing a pair of white cotton socks on her feet, her back is straight, and her head is raised high
, wearing a lady's bun. Although she is very simple, her whole person's temperament looks noble.
This person is none other than Masako Tachibana, the former patriarch of the Tachibana family who once dominated Japan and was invincible.
Tachibana Masako was defeated by Li Yundong at the highest peak of the spiritual world and fell from Tianwang Mountain. After a short period of painful torture, she gradually learned from the pain and walked out from the shadow of failure.
At this time, she had lost all her beauty. Although she was wearing no makeup and no longer had the majesty of the past, she still had a different kind of charm.
Masako Tachibana is sitting on her knees in a small courtyard of Okuno-in. There is a tea table in front of her. While she is making tea and pouring it, she is concentrating on watching the pictures on the TV not far away and listening to the contents.
The sound came out.
At this time, the TV was showing TV news from the Tochigi Prefecture TV station with the icon gyT. In it, a beautiful but somewhat embarrassed and tired female host spoke very quickly and clearly: "...Yesterday morning at 11
At around 0:00, another strong earthquake occurred in Japan, with Nasuno in Tochigi Prefecture as the epicenter. The earthquake was clearly felt in surrounding Fujiwara Town, Nishi-Nasuno Town, Kuriyama Village and other places. According to preliminary estimates from the Earthquake Monitoring Center, this time
The intensity of the earthquake was about 6.6, and the damage to surrounding cities was not very serious. However, since Nasuno is now on high alert, what is strange and puzzling is that the local police and Self-Defense Forces have already blocked the area near the earthquake source.
The closed martial law..."
The host on the TV was standing on the top of a mountain and pointed to the location of the Killing Stone Scenic Area. She said in a puzzled and exaggerated tone: "When I arrived here, I found that there are many monks and Shintoists here.
Priests, sorcerers, goddesses and shrine maidens were setting up dojos in the central and western regions of the earthquake source to offer sacrifices to the souls of the dead. What is incomprehensible is that many monks and Shinto practitioners died in this earthquake.
?”
"Of course, this is not the most incredible thing. The most incredible thing is that here, we can actually see all the major sects of Shintoism that can be counted come together. It is really rare! Such a thing has never happened before
,What kind of thing can bring so many sects together?"
As she said that, the host suddenly pressed the headset in her ear with her hand. As if she heard the instructions and words from the director, she listened to the words in the headset while nodding her head and making humming sounds.
After a while, she continued: "There was news just now that the residents nearby have seen many incredible phenomena. These phenomena happened at the same time as the earthquake, which is very surprising. Now we
The staff found a nearby resident and asked us to ask her what happened here."
At this time, she walked a few steps quickly, and the camera panned and chased her figure until she came to an old woman with wrinkles on her face. The female reporter bowed and asked loudly: "Oh, I'm so rude, I'm disturbing you."
The old woman also bowed in return, clasped her hands together and said, "You're welcome."
The female reporter asked curiously: "Grandma, are you a Buddhist?"
The old lady laughed and said, "Yes, I have been a vegetarian and a Buddhist for sixty years."
The female reporter said with an exaggerated expression: "Wow, he is really a devout Buddhist. Oh, by the way, during the earthquake yesterday, I heard that strange things happened here. Grandma, did you see it?"
The old lady's expression suddenly became very rich, and she said in an exaggerated tone: "Oh, you are talking about this! I saw it with my own eyes?"
The female reporter quickly asked: "Then what happened?"
The old lady pointed to the direction of the Killing Stone Scenic Area and the continuous mountains, and said: "During the earthquake yesterday, the sky was full of rolling thunderclouds at the beginning. The thunder was so loud that it was like the end of the earth was coming.
Same thing, it was really scary. All the nearby residents ran away and they didn’t dare to stay at home. I couldn’t walk anymore, so I didn’t leave. But then, I saw colorful rays of light everywhere in the sky, and then there was
There are so many people flying around in mid-air..."
As she said that, the old lady's expression suddenly became very mysterious: "Do you know what else I saw?"
The female reporter listened with great interest at first, but when she heard "a lot of people flying around in the air", her expression became very exciting. She already felt that this old man was very unreliable.
, but still asked: "What did you see?"
The old woman suddenly waved her hands vigorously: "It's the nine-tailed fox, it's Tamamo-mae! I saw Tamamo-mae being released from the killing stone!"
The female reporter couldn't laugh or cry. Although she was also a believer in Ise Shinto, the Shinto religion, her degree of belief was very shallow. She only went to worship during festivals. It was absolutely not linked to the word piety. Moreover, she had such a background.
People with good Western education will naturally not believe these outrageous things.
If it weren't for her politeness and professionalism, she would probably have asked the old man: "Are you the sitter of the Killing Stone Scenic Area?" or something like that.
At this time, the old woman was so excited that she couldn't help herself. She was dancing on the spot, like a witch, mumbling words. But she was old after all. After struggling for a while, her body tilted, she went crazy and fell down.
On the side, this scared the female reporter next to her so much that she immediately supported the old lady and shouted loudly: "Come here, help!"
The place she was in was quite remote in order to grab the camera seats and angles. When she called out, no one answered her.
When the female reporter was in a hurry, she saw a figure flashing in the mountains. She immediately shouted: "Is anyone there? Come and help, there is someone here who is dying."
At this time, the figure hesitated for a moment, and then walked out of the woods. It was a graceful young woman. The woman lowered her head and looked a little panicked and hesitantly not far away. After seeing the camera, she
Some of them refused to come over.
The female reporter became anxious when she saw it and shouted to the woman: "What are you doing there? Come here quickly!"
At this time, the woman seemed to have made up her mind and ran over with her face covered. The female reporter didn't care to look at her for a while, but the reporter carrying the camera was curious and focused his lens on the woman to take pictures.
The two of them hurriedly stuffed a wallet into the old man's mouth, and then breathed a sigh of relief. After the female reporter raised her eyes and took a closer look at the woman in front of her, she asked in a professional manner: "Do you live here?
Is it nearby? Did you see anything strange yesterday?"
She said something gibberish, but the woman seemed not to understand. She waved her hands vigorously, turned around and wanted to leave, still covering her face with her hands.
The female reporter came to her senses at this time. She felt that she looked like a star she knew, so she pointed at her and said, "Ah, you, you seem to be...a movie star in mainland China?"
But the woman waved her hands, said nothing, and quickly ran away from the TV camera with a frightened expression.
The female reporter watched her go away and wanted to chase her, but she couldn't leave the old man beside her, so she had to stamp her feet secretly. She could vaguely guess the identity of this woman, but she didn't understand such a famous star in mainland China.
Why are you here alone?
But she didn't know that this person was none other than Liu Fei'er.
After Tianji Xuanhu fought out single-handedly, Liu Fei'er looked at the sky with fear, waiting for the outcome of this century-old battle. Later, she was really frightened by the scene and movement of this fight.
The deafening explosion and roar made her feel as if she was on a battlefield, as if she would be hit by a fish in the next second and be blown to pieces.
Although Liu Fei'er was scared, she was a young person after all, with nimble hands and feet. She had the courage to escape and hid far away. She didn't even dare to look at this terrifying battle in the sky.
After it calmed down, she poked her head out in panic, wanting to know the result, but she didn't dare to go back to the original hotel. She only dared to stay by herself. She didn't have a phone, so she endured the cold and hunger alone.
After staying there for a whole day, after confirming that the Tianji Xuanhu had not appeared again and that there were more and more people nearby, she boldly walked out.
But she didn't expect that she would encounter such a thing just after escaping. Her identity is sensitive. If she was caught, it would definitely be a big gossip. It might be arranged in some way, so she would naturally be able to run away for a long time.
Run as fast as you can.
At this time, the female reporter's eyes and the TV lens were withdrawn from Liu Fei'er who was retreating away. The female reporter took the camera reporter and continued to go deep into the scene of the Killing Stone Scenic Area, while filming the scene of the local area being devastated due to fighting.
, while doing interviews.
Masako Tachibana, who was sitting next to the TV, looked at her in silence for a while, without any expression on her face. After a while, the sliding door of the room was gently opened, and a beautiful woman came in. This
The woman was Tachibana Tsuruko. After she opened the door, she saw her daughter. She was slightly startled, and then smiled and said: "Masako, are you up? Are you watching the news? Ah, it's the news from Nasuno...
…Hey, so many people died at that time!”
Tachibana Masako turned her face slightly and sighed softly: "Yes, it's terrible! Are our Japanese cultivators really so vulnerable? Are Chinese cultivators really so much better than us?"
Tachibana Hezi smiled slightly, and after dragging his clogs at the door, he took small steps in his snow-white socks and walked to his daughter. Then he also knelt down and said softly: "When I was the same age as you,
, I once thought that I was the strongest, the sect I believed in was the strongest, and the god I believed in was the strongest. But after I met Wang Yuanshan, I realized that this was not the case!"
Juhezi looked at his daughter seriously and said: "Masako, although you have experienced this tragic defeat, it is not a bad thing. When I lost to Wang Yuanshan, I looked no better than you in embarrassment. Failure is not terrible, it is terrible.
What’s more important is that you don’t know how to sum up experience and lessons from failure and strive to catch up with the strong! Since you feel so emotional today, let me take the liberty to ask you, have you learned any lessons from it?”
Tachibana Masako had a dull face and said nothing for a long time. After a while, she slowly said: "Mother, I want... to send Tachibana Masako to the mainland of China to further his studies and practice!"
Tachibana Hezi suddenly laughed. She knew that her daughter had realized the problem. She quickly asked: "Then who do you want her to worship as her teacher?"
Tachibana Masako said with a solemn face: "Wherever you fall, of course you have to get up! Of course, you have to worship the Dou Zhan Tianzun Li Yundong as your teacher!"
