Chapter 889: Cixuan
"What is your purpose?" asked Spiegel with some curiosity, why did he think that this 'shell' organization had a bit of the shadow of the 'Xiao' in it. But what he can be sure of is that 'shell' has nothing to do with 'Xiao'.
Could it be that the brain-dead fans of the 'Xiao' organization created it?" Spiegel guessed in his heart.
"I don't know," Diruda shook her head with a wry smile, noticing that Spiegel's eyes were indifferent, and she immediately panicked: "Please believe me, I really don't know! ”
"Then why did you kidnap Hinata today?" Spiegel could sense that the woman hadn't lied to him, and asked another question.
"Because of a deal," Di Ruda hurriedly said, "Our leader agreed with a blue-and-white haired boy that we would kidnap the eldest lady of the Hyuga family for him, and he would get rid of him for us... Get rid of you..."
"Get rid of me, so your leader is sure to win against me!" Spiegel smiled and continued to ask, "How much more do you know about that blue-and-white-haired boy?"
"He's very white-skinned... Keep his eyes closed, yes! On his neck, there is a pattern of magatama. Diruda tried to recall, trying to give Spiegel as much clues as he could.
Spiegel couldn't help laughing and said, "I probably know who it is, and it's a coincidence that I'm coming back for him this time." ”
"I've already told you everything I know, can I go?" Diruda asked cautiously when he saw that Spiegel seemed to be happy.
"That's not good, now you're my captive!" Spiegel said with a smile. Diruda sneered, didn't dare to say anything more, and obediently followed Spiegel back to Konoha.
……
Jiraiya sat in the room, looking pensive. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he turned his head and said unexpectedly, "I didn't expect you to come back." ”
Spiegel walked in slowly, and at first glance he saw a group photo on the cabinet, Tsunade wearing a traditional kimono and standing beside Jiraiya with a gentle face.
"It seems that a lot of things have happened in the six months since I left!" Mingjing retracted his gaze, took out a small purse and said, "This is good money." ”
Jiraiya caught the little purse and said with a smile: "You are too polite! ”
"The two of you have also gone through hardships, and you can finally keep the clouds open and see the moon. Spiegel sat down next to Jiraiya and said with emotion.
"It's been half a lifetime, let's make do with it!" said Jiraiya, looking at the photo gently.
"It's all this time, and Tsunade hasn't come back yet?" Spiegel asked curiously.
"I was already back, but there was a big incident in the village involving the Hyuga family, the Kurama family, and the Uchiha family, and as the fifth Hokage, she hurried out again. Jiraiya looked at Spiegel and said with a serious expression: "You know about Hinata's kidnapping two hours ago, right?"
"Well, so I came straight to you. Spiegel asked with a serious expression, "Have you ever heard of the 'shell' organization?"
"What?" Jiraiya was stunned and said in surprise, "How long has it been? Another unknown organization has popped up! But I seem to have heard this name somewhere, but it's been too long, and I'm a little unsure. ”
"Don't you even know?" Mingjing frowned slightly, since he had been out for decades, even if it was a secret thing, he had heard of it.
"Wait!" Jiraiya turned around and pulled out a large box from under his desk, Spiegel didn't know how such a small space could fit into such a large box. After opening it, he flipped it up, and muttered as he flipped it: "This was two years ago... This was seven years ago... Isn't this a 6th anniversary collector's edition photo album for Minami Takayama? Hey, this is Yoko Okino's out-of-print photo album!When did I put it away?Shift my position, this is Yoko-chan's last photo book before she quit the 'Earth Lady'......"
Spiegel looked at Ziraiya pouting his ass and turning over things, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, originally thought that this thing would be tightened up after marrying Tsunade, but now it seems that Tsunade is estimated to be played by him! Remind Tsunade for a while, photo album or something, it's better to hand it over to young people for management.
"Found it!" Jiraiya suddenly pulled out a scroll and said excitedly, "This is the information I gathered from my thirty-one years of traveling to the Land of Wind, it is an endless desert, and I found a broken stone tablet in one of the ruins. Because of the age, some of the words are no longer clear, so I rubbed the whole stone tablet down. There's something mentioned in it, and I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the 'shell' you're talking about. It's just that these words are too old for me to recognize. ”
"I'll take a look!" Spiegel opened the scroll directly, and found that this stone tablet was written in ancient languages, thousands of years ago, and there were no words that began with voiced consonants in ancient times, and there were no closed syllables, and they could not be understood even if they were not read. However, this is not difficult for Spiegel, when he was in the royal capital before, he communicated with some calligraphers, and some of the calligraphers practiced ancient language stickers, but let Spiegel learn a lot.
"Can you understand?" Jiraiya asked with some surprise when he saw Spiegel's appearance.
"I know a little bit about it. Spiegel nodded.
"What's on that?" Jiraiya continued.
"The ruins you went to are called Rinnoji Temple, and it is one of the ancestral temples of Tiantai. It was written about a monk named Ci Xuan. Ci Xuan was the most wise monk in the history of Rinwang Temple, and the temple called him the 'reincarnated Arhat'. But after Cixuan returned from a trip once, it became very strange. Saying that he only has a shell left, and that his soul will return to Western Bliss, he asks the monks in the temple to burn his body. But the monk thought that Ci Xuan was still alive, so how could there be a practice of burning the living, so he refused. Spiegel looked up at Jiraiya and asked with some confusion: "Could it be because of the mention of the word 'shell' in this that you think it has something to do with the shell organization?"
"Maybe!" said Jiraiya, a little uncertain, "you continue to interpret." ”
After a hundred years, Cixuan stayed in the temple, getting higher and higher, and his temperament also changed. He was very open-minded to his disciples and courteous to his peers. But he was ruthless to other temples, and the Wisdom Sect, one of the nine sects of Buddhism, was destroyed by him and the inheritance was broken. Ming Spiegel frowned slightly, and asked curiously: "Does a person's personality really change with age?"
"I can't rule out this situation, but it's rare for a monk to be so murderous!" said Jiraiya, holding his chin in one hand.
"Cixuan secretly established a shell organization to deal with those temples with different philosophies, and then the Vinaya, Jingzong, and Yuelian Sect were all destroyed by Cixuan. Spiegel looked up and said embarrassedly: "How did this shell come from? I obviously believe in Buddhism, but I became a demon in my life." ”
