The scale of Baimu Temple far exceeded the imagination of Lin Lei and others.

The temple covers an area of more than 100 acres, and there are a total of five courtyards in the temple, that is, five large courtyards in a row.

The Daxiong Hall is in the third entrance, and the fourth and fifth courtyards behind it are the "backyards" where the monks live. The entire temple is centered on the Daxiong Treasure Hall, which is clearly divided into two parts, the front and the back.

There are still a few days left before the annual "Hyakmu Demon Festival", and in the entire Hyakmu Temple, the monks are busy and making final preparations.

There is a striking sign hanging at the entrance of the temple with several rows of characters written in Japanese, Chinese, and English - because Hyakumu Temple will prepare for the "Hyakumu Demon Festival" a few days later, except for local pilgrims, foreign tourists will not be accepted, please come back after the Hyakumu Demon Festival begins.

Locals believe in the Hundred Eyes Demon, so there are no restrictions on coming to worship on incense.

After Lu Yun showed the "Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Special Operations Certificate" to the Zhike monk of Baimu Temple, the group entered Baimu Temple smoothly.

The monk went to the backyard to report the situation to the temple supervisor Master Shenmu, and asked Lu Yun and the others to wait for a while.

With nothing to do, Lu Yun, Qiao Yan and Lin Lei "hung out" in the Baimu Temple - of course, as a policeman, the meaning of lounging is usually another kind of investigation.

The entire first and second entrance temples of Baimu Temple are decorated, built platforms, hung banners, etc., just like a construction site.

Lin Lei and the others soon came to the third courtyard, which was the courtyard where the Daxiong Treasure Hall was located.

After coming here, the three of them soon found that there were several pilgrims in the treasure hall, worshipping the Hundred Eyes Demon in the hall.

Other temples are often depicted with Nyorai or other bodhisattvas, while the Mahavira Hall of the Hyakumu Temple is sculpted with a statue of a Hyakumu demon.

It's a masked banshee.

The banshee wore a turban, the turban was wide, and the banshee pulled the turban with her left hand, covering the lower half of her face.

And the banshee's left hand is bare, and on the bare left hand, there are rows of "eyes".

This shape is exactly the same as the vase that Lin Lei and others saw at the Ota house at the beginning.

It seems that the image of the Hundred Eyes Demon has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, just like the statue of Guan Erye always holds the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his right hand and brushes his beard in his left hand.

The pilgrims in the Daxiong Treasure Hall knelt down to worship incense, but Lin Lei and the others did not enter the main hall.

If it is Guanyin Bodhisattva or the Buddha, maybe everyone will go in and put on a stick of incense, and the local "demons and monsters" of this book are really not the "dishes" of Lin Lei and others.

The belief of the locals is understandable, but Lin Lei is definitely not used to offering incense to such a "god......

Soon, the monk reappeared in Lin Lei's sight, and he led everyone to a side hall in the backyard.

The Shenmu Master of Baimu Temple was waiting there for Lin Lei and his party.

The side hall was in the southwest corner of the last courtyard, and Master Shenmu was alone inside, and the other idlers and others were all dismissed.

The first feeling given by Master Shenmu was not quite in line with "expectations".

The image of the imaginary monk who has attained the Tao has almost no intersection with the Shenmu Master in front of him.

Master Shenmu is not tall, but he is very fat, and he looks like he has a big belly.

The most incompatible with the image of a high monk are his surprisingly small eyes, and he also wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.

Of course, what the image of Master Shenmu is, it is not transferred by the will of Lin Lei and others, people have been like this for decades, and there is nothing to say.

Lin Lei didn't speak, and it was Lu Yun who opened his mouth to ask.

Lu Yun's first question, he went straight to the point and mentioned Kagawa Yoshiko and the priest of Hyakmu Temple.

Whether the priest is a nun or not is a very important question.

Don't think that the people in the temple must be monks and nuns, there is also a kind of people in the temple, called laymen.

"Master Shenmu, Kagawa Yoshiko is a priest - can you explain the priest?" Lu Yun asked this question.

Master Shenmu was slightly stunned, and his eyes narrowed even smaller.

After a long time, Master Shenmu finally replied, "This officer, you don't know much about the priests of the Hyakmu Temple, so I'll tell you in detail. ”

Next, Master Shenmu began to explain the priest.

It turned out that the priests of Hyakumu Temple had to be nuns, that is, monks.

From the age of sixteen, the priest worked in the temple under the leadership of the temple supervisor.

Of course, a sixteen-year-old child can't make any major decisions, and all decisions are made by the temple supervisor.

In more sense, the priests at this stage belong to the "vase".

That's right, for example, the annual "Hyakmu Demon Festival" that is about to begin, and the one who comes forward to worship the Hyakmu Demon as a representative of the temple is the goddess official.

When the goddess is twenty-five years old, she can decide for herself whether she is still vulgar or not.

If she chooses to return to the world, then she can be guaranteed to continue her studies at a Buddhist school in Tokyo, and later work in a relaxed Buddhist association.

If you don't return to the world and aspire to die in Hyakuma Temple, then you can continue to be a priest.

As the temple supervisor grew older and frail, the priest would become the "leader" of the temple......

Hearing this, Lu Yun couldn't help but be a little surprised.

It turns out that Kagawa Yoshiko can be vulgar.

She was twenty-one years old when she had the accident, which means that in more than three years, when she is twenty-five years old, she is free to choose whether to return to the vulgar ......

"Master Shenmu, police records show that Kagawa Yoshiko has been harassed by pilgrims many times......" Lu Yun asked a more core question.

There were police records of XING's harassment in the file, but in the end there was no evidence.

This is also one thing that is easy to understand.

Unless there is a surveillance video, or there is some "physical evidence", or there are very clear "human witnesses", it is generally difficult to prove a matter of alarm.

Master Shenmu frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said lightly: "The poor monk doesn't know about these things. The monks don't speak, the poor monks are not there, and it's not easy to judge. All results are subject to the announcement of the police. ”

After saying this, Master Shenmu fell silent again.

Lu Yun's brows became tighter and tighter, and after thinking about it carefully, he finally felt that there was nothing wrong with what Master Shenmu said.

Since he was not there, how could he comment?

"On the day of Yoshiko's disappearance, did anyone in the temple see her?" this sentence was asked by Qiao Yan.

Master Shenmu turned his head to look at Qiao Yan, his brows twitched slightly, and then he said slowly, "No." ”

Qiao Yan and Lu Yun glanced at each other, and their faces were very solemn.

At present, there are several doubts about this "ultimate dossier" in Lu Yun's hands, the first of which is who witnessed Jiazi's "clothes @ shirt @ not @ whole", but there is no evidence......
