Lin Lei sighed: "I really didn't expect it! It's okay, let's ask one by one and see which one has a guest room!"

So Lin Lei and the others began to inquire about accommodation......

Unexpectedly, I asked more than 20 hot spring hotels in a row, and all of them were full. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is embarrassing, is it possible to go home?

Fortunately, when asked about the last one, the owner of the hot spring hotel said that there was another hot spring hotel on the top of Mt. Kiriyu, and contacted by phone to confirm that there were still three rooms there.

Lin Lei suddenly came to his senses, and immediately asked the boss to inform the other party that his group would arrive soon and he must leave the guest room.

Without further ado, Lin Lei and the others immediately drove to the top of Wutang Mountain.

After about ten minutes' drive, a hot spring hotel appeared in Lin Lei's sight.

This hot spring hotel is built on the top of a mountain, shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland on earth.

Lu Yun and Zhou Ziyang were very happy, only Lin Lei felt that something was faintly inappropriate in his heart.

The environment here is so good, much better than those hot spring hotels in the middle of the mountain, why are there still rooms?

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

Hmm-I'm thinking too much, right?

Maybe the fees here are expensive, but I'm notoriously budget-conscious!

It's okay, brother is not bad for money, just live casually!

After Zhou Ziyang parked the car, the attentive boss had already walked over.

The proprietor was a gray-haired old man, at least sixty years old, wearing a white coat, and looking at his guests with a smile.

After getting out of the car, Lin Lei skillfully exchanged a few words with the boss in Japanese.

said that he attaches more importance to etiquette, especially this kind of elderly man, Lin Lei behaves very politely. After greetings, Lin Lei began to ask the boss about the hot spring hotel.

It turns out that this hot spring hotel is called Cloud House.

"House" means hotel, and "cloud" probably means that it is located on the top of a mountain, and it is surrounded by clouds and mist all year round.

The cost of hotel accommodation is 30,000 yen per person a day, and the cost of the soft girl is about 1,000 yen. This price is not expensive according to the price level of the book, not to mention that they also provide free hot springs and three meals a day.

Even in China, a hot spring hotel with more than 1,000 nights can only be regarded as mid-range.

Of course, meals are normal Japanese dishes, but if you want to eat more upscale meals, you need to pay for the meals.

Lin Lei doesn't care about these things, just let Lu Yun take care of it.

Lu Yun has rice grain translation headphones, and it's no problem to listen to Japanese, but she can't speak it yet. However, during this time, she has already started to learn Japanese, and I believe that it will not be long before she can speak some simple Japanese.

This Kunoya hot spring inn is a typical Japanese building, with bungalows made entirely of wood. There are also some animal and patron saint shapes on the eaves of the house, and it is clear that this hot spring inn is quite old

After coming to the entrance, the hotel provided disposable slippers, and Lin Lei and the others changed their shoes before entering the hotel.

The rooms are all tatami mats, and the floors are also pure solid wood, and the tops are spotless. Obviously, the owner of this hot spring inn is a very clean and meticulous person.

The entire Kunonoya Hot Spring Inn, which is divided into two parts, east and west, and the west side is all full, leaving only the east side with rooms.

Lin Lei and Lu Yun lived next door, and Zhou Ziyang lived diagonally opposite them.

After Lin Lei entered the room, he found that this room was really small and pitiful, with a total of less than ten square meters, and a small bathroom.

As for the bed - the sleeping place in the middle of the house is not called a bed, it is a tatami mat.

After a brief rest, Lin Lei took Lu Yun to the hot springs.

There are six hot spring pools in the hot spring inn, one large and five small.

It seems that he prefers to squeeze in a large pool to soak in the hot springs, and Lin Lei and Lu Yun naturally chose a small pool to soak in by themselves.

Lu Yun and Lin Lei soaked in the small pool, enjoying a rare leisure time.

There are many guests in the big pool not far away, and there are many women among them, so of course Zhou Ziyang went there to soak, instead of being a light bulb in the small pool.

Lin Lei sensed that the temperature of the hot spring water was quite high, and glanced at the water thermometer next to the pool, which showed that the water temperature was forty-seven degrees Celsius.

The hot springs are very dark in color, and they are yellow-green, and Lin Lei knows that this is the color of the hot spring water that contains minerals.

White smoke of water vapor rose from the surface of the water, and there was a faint smell in the nose.

Lin Lei looked at Lu Yun and explained, "This hot spring has a relatively high sulfur content, and it is a first-class hot spring. ”

"Oh-" Lu Yun replied softly, but her eyes looked at the big pool opposite.

Zhou Ziyang was soaking over there, he knew Japanese, and he was chatting with the people in the pool.

"Let's go clubbing here, be cleaner. "Lin Lei has no interest in Da Chizi at all.

Lu Yun nodded and whispered, "Okay, I don't want to go over either." ”

There is a white crystalline substance floating on the surface of the hot spring water, which is not limescale, but crystallization of sulfur-containing minerals.

After soaking in the pool for an afternoon, at dusk, Lin Lei felt refreshed, and it seemed that all the fatigue had disappeared.

When it's time for dinner, all the guests at Cloud House Onsen Ryokan eat at the restaurant.

For dinner, we had sushi and small yellow croaker, plus a vegetable soup and rice, which is famous locally.

Lu Yun ate with relish, while Lin Lei paid attention to the travelers eating in the restaurant.

There were men, women, and children in the restaurant, most of whom were tourists from Tokyo, but Lin Lei's gaze stayed on the table on his left.

There were five young people at that table, they were college classmates, and five boys.

Lin Lei had a brief communication with them before, and knew that they were from Ota University, an ordinary university in Tokyo.

The university in Tokyo that Lin Lei can remember is the University of Tokyo, which is almost equivalent to Peking University and Tsinghua University in China. As for this Ota University, of course Lin Lei didn't know.

However, through small talk, Lin Lei also had a general understanding of Ota University, which is about equal to the second university in China, and that's it.

What aroused Lin Lei's interest was that it had just entered May, and it was not a winter and summer vacation at all, how could these scholars have the kung fu to come to the hot spring hotel to play?

Later, they explained to themselves, saying that they were all seniors -- seniors, the same thing at home and abroad, everyone understood it, there was no need to explain, and they had a lot of leisure time.

That's all Lin Lei knew, and he quickly withdrew his gaze......

Nothing was said all night.

Following.

As soon as it was dawn, Lin Lei woke up.

Lin Lei looked at the time on his phone, it was only six and ten o'clock.

After staying in bed for a while, Lin Lei got up and washed. After cleaning up, Lin Lei walked out of the door and came to the lobby of the hot spring hotel.

The shopkeeper in his sixties was called Saoe Fujioka, he was cleaning, and when he looked up and saw Lin Lei coming out of the room, he asked with some surprise, "Mr. Lin, you got up so early?"

Lin Lei was wearing a sportswear and said to Zuojiang Fujioka with a smile: "Well, the vegetation of Wutang Mountain is dense, and the air on the mountain is very good, so I went out for a run and exercised." ”

Zuoe Fujioka nodded repeatedly: "Well, the effect of exercising here is much better than on the plains-"

After a pause, Zuo Jiang Fujioka's brows twitched slightly, and then said, "Mr. Lin, you run to the east, the east is the main road." The west side is all small roads, and the humidity is heavy. ”

Lin Lei smiled and responded, "Oh-I see." ”

After talking to Saoe Fujioka, Lin Lei changed into sneakers in the hallway, left the hotel, and ran straight to the east.

However, to Lin Lei's slight disappointment, the road on the east side was less than two kilometers away from the Cloud House Hotel, which was not enough for Lin Lei, who had run fifteen kilometers in Lushui Lake Park in the past......

Do you just keep running laps or try to run west?

Lin Lei came to the intersection to the west, took out a branch of the eight water bays, and lit it.

Lin Lei smoked a cigarette while looking at the road to the west. To the west is a mountain path that can only be walked, while to the east is a large road for cars.

Although the mountain path is dirt, there are no weeds and the ground is relatively solid, so it should be frequented by people.

Mt. Kirisang is also a famous spot in Gunma Prefecture, and many people come here to soak in the hot springs, and it is not uncommon for tourists to take a walk in the nearby mountains.

If there's nothing to do left or right, why don't you run over and have a look?

After making up his mind, Lin Lei snuffed out his cigarette and threw it into a nearby trash can. Then, Lin Lei took a step and ran towards the mountain path to the west.

As Sae Fujioka said, the mountain trails in the early morning were very humid and even a little misty.

However, the lush vegetation on both sides of the road provided plenty of oxygen, and although it was an uphill road, Lin Lei did not have a hard time running at all.

After running for about six or seven minutes, after turning a corner, Lin Lei suddenly stopped.

An antique temple suddenly appeared in Lin Lei's sight—yes, a temple.

The temple is no different from that of China, and it can be seen from the architectural style.

It's just that this temple occupies a small area, and it seems that there is only one courtyard.

"Ancient temple ...... in the mountains"

Lin Lei couldn't help but muttered to himself, and always felt that this picture was very familiar-

In what detective novels, detective movies, and costume detective TV series, don't cases often happen in such places?

After a while, Lin Lei couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Maybe it's really because the Lin Lei police have been doing it for a long time, and everything can be linked to the case. Isn't it just an ordinary ancient temple in front of you, what's so strange?

"Knock-knock-knock-"

Three long bells rang out from the ancient temple, and Lin Lei quickened his pace and walked towards the ancient temple.

The gate of the ancient temple is open, and there are a pair of stone lions sitting on the left and right in front of the door.

The stone lion is already very badly weathered, and the face of the stone lion on the left is a little unclear, and it is obvious that it has been at least hundreds of years of wind and rain.

Sure enough, it's an ancient temple, or an old temple......

What makes Lin Lei a little strange is that this kind of temple doesn't seem to have any monks at all, and it seems very secluded.

After entering the temple gate, Lin Lei finally saw the monk in the temple, an old monk over seventy years old, staring intently at Lin Lei, holding a big broom in his hand.

As soon as Lin Lei saw this situation, he knew that the old monk was cleaning the yard after ringing the bell just now, and he should have heard his footsteps, so he stopped.

Lin Lei greeted the old monk in Japanese: "Hello, Master, I am a guest at the nearby Cloud House Hot Spring Hotel. After the morning exercise, I came to visit the treasure temple. ”

The old monk bowed slightly: "The donor, please." ”

Lin Lei glanced at the temple's Daxiong Treasure Hall - well, according to the domestic name, it is the Daxiong Treasure Hall, but this temple dedicated to the Bodhisattva cannot be called a "hall", it can only be called a "hall", and the hall of the hall is just an ordinary room.

Lin Lei glanced at it hurriedly, and it seemed that the hall was not enshrined by the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas commonly found in Chinese temples, but an ancient statue of the gods.

Lin Lei opened his mouth and asked, "Master, may I ask what you call your law name?"

The old monk was expressionless, and said calmly: "Foolish." ”

Lin Lei nodded slightly: "It turned out to be Master Foolishness - well, Master Foolishness, may I ask ......?"

Lin Lei was about to ask about the origin of the temple and who the idol enshrined in the hall was, but the foolish master said that he was going to do a morning class and let Lin Lei take care of himself.

After all, they are monks, and Lin Lei is not easy to bother, so he has to visit by himself.

Master Foolish entered the hall, sat upright in the hall, knocked on the wooden fish and began to chant the scriptures.

Lin Lei is just a little curious, since the master of foolishness wants to take the morning class, let's visit it by myself.

Lin Lei began to observe the ancient temple.

The exterior of the ancient temple is typical of a square, with walls on all sides that are three meters high. To the east of the temple is the lobby, which is the place where the statue of the god and the foolish master read the morning class. And the west side facing the lobby is the gate, and Lin Lei just entered the ancient temple from the west gate.

The north and south sides of the ancient temple are side rooms, and some daily necessities are placed on the north side, which should be the bedroom of Master Foolishness. And on the south side, there is a firewood, which should be a kitchen and utility room.

Next to the kitchen on the south side, there is also a small door, which is obviously the side door of the ancient temple.

In the courtyard of the ancient temple, there are all kinds of potted flowers and plants, including plum blossoms, bamboo, orchids, chrysanthemums, etc., and there is an old pine tree in the middle of the courtyard, which is obviously some years old.

It seems that there is only one monk in the entire ancient temple, Master Foolishness, and there are no other monks.

Lin Lei couldn't help but sigh a little emotionally, this foolish master is really awe-inspiring, practicing alone in the deep mountains, if you don't have great perseverance, you can't do it at all.

There are some monks in this world who only know the sesame oil money, but do not know how to worship the Buddha. Compared to the Master of Foolishness, it is really a world of difference.

Lin Lei thought about it, the original Buddhism was transmitted by the Tang Dynasty's Jianzhen master Dongdu Fusang, and it can be regarded as a branch of Chinese Buddhism!

Lin Lei smiled bitterly, he could only think about it like this.

Of course, there must be many monks in China who devote themselves to chanting Buddha, but they don't know it...... What Lin Lei knew was nothing more than negative news such as how much a stick of incense burned in a certain temple reported on those news websites, and he didn't have time to visit the famous mountain treasure temple in China......
