Crossing the beautiful Lake Biwa, Soji Tsugawa and others, who were like arrows, had no time to do good along the way, and even declined Rokkaku Dingyori's invitation to go to Kannonji Castle for a while. Soon, Soharu Tsugawa and others arrived in Koga-gun in Omi.

At this time, the way forward of Soji Tsugawa and others was blocked.

As for who has the courage to stop Tsugawa Soji and his party from riding hundreds of horses, hehe, then this matter is a long story.........

There were a total of 9 people who stopped Tsugawa Soji and his party, one of whom was an old acquaintance of Tsugawa Soji, Takagi Yoshitoki, a retainer of Saionji, and the other eight people Tsukawa Soji did not know.

Takagi Yoshitoki also just received the news two days ago that the Saionji family and the Iyo Utsunomiya family were at war, and the Takagi family's Iinoyama Castle was captured, and Takagi Yoshitoki's father escaped with his family when the castle fell.

However, after the incident, he was chased by the head of the Saionji family, Saionji Shichong, to lose the city, and if it weren't for the persuasion of several familiar samurai, I am afraid that Takagi Yoshitoki's father would have died. In the end, Takagi Yoshitoki's father, Takagi Masantoki, had no choice but to go to Kyoto to join his son Takagi Yoshitoki.

However, Takagi Yoshitoki was only sent to Kyoto by the Saionji family to serve as the attendant of the Saionji Chief, and since the Takagi family had been "exiled" by the Saionji family, the Saionji Chief's natural reluctance to take in Takagi Masantoki and others. Of course, it is also possible that the life of the prince of Xiyuan Temple is not very good, and he can't afford to raise a few more mouths....

No matter what the reason is, anyway, in the end, Takagi Yoshitoki simply took his father and family members to prepare to find Tsugawa Soji to fight an autumn breeze, but at this time Tsugawa Soji and others had already left Kyoto, as for the whereabouts, Takagi Yoshitoki really didn't know.

I wanted to inquire, but as soon as I came to Tsugawa Soji, he deliberately concealed his whereabouts, and Ichibandori and others, who came to know the whereabouts of Tsugawa Soji, were not seen by Takagi Yoshitoki. In desperation, Takagi Yoshitoki had no choice but to take the people of the Takagi family all the way to Wakasa Province.

Because when he came, Takagi Yoshitoki and the others were Atsugawa Soji who went ashore in the Asakura family territory by boat, so Takagi Yoshitoki was ready to run quickly and try his luck in the Asakura family's territory. However, when he just arrived in Yamashina Township, he met an "uninvited guest"

........

Yamashina Township is located in Yamashiro Province, and Yamashina Honganji Temple, the former base camp of Honganji, is located here.

Although Yamashina Honganji Temple has been abandoned and has long lost its former glory, there are still several temples in the vicinity. In one of the izaka, a wandering monk-like man wearing Buddhist robes, holding a wooden staff, and wearing a straw hat was pouring himself a drink with a melancholy face.

Of course, it was not wine but tea that I drank, but I was still drunk with a melancholy feeling.

Mingdefang felt that it hurt very much.

I was invited to Ishiyama Honganji Temple by Honganji Temple, so I rushed all the way to Settsu, and even the grand waka party in Kyoto was just a soy sauce on the way.

After arriving at Ishiyama Honganji Temple, Mingtokubo Juexiao was personally received by Honganji Temple, the head of Honganji Temple, the head of Honganji Temple.

No way, who made Mingdefang feel that the seniority is high?

In fact, whether it is Mingdefang Juexiao or Yuanzheng Temple Lianquan, it is not the real name of "Mingdefang Juexiao", and its real name is Benzheng Temple Lianquan.

Honshoji Renquan is the "uncle" of Honganji Zhengru, and the son of the previous Dharma Master Honganji Renru. At the earliest, it was sent to Mikawa to develop the Ichijo sect, formerly known as Honganji Renquan, and because it was the first to practice in Sankawa's Honshoji Temple, it was called Benshoji Renquan. If there are 13 men and 14 women, all the sons of Honganji Ren are sent to various places to develop their power. For example, in 1501, Honganji Renjun came to Insshoji Temple in Ise Nagashima to develop, and later Wanshuji Zene was the grandson of Honganji Renjun.

However, it is obvious that according to the character of the Honshoji Temple, the Sanhe Honshoji Temple is naturally uncontrollable, and soon the Honshoji Lotus Tsuen left a note like "The world is so big, I want to go and see it" and quietly left.

In the end, relying on his father's name, he still got into the wind and water, and successively the temples around the country invited the Lianquan of the temple to be the host, but they were all "luring the wolf into the room". In the end, the lotus of this temple had to change its name, and walked in the world under the names of Mingdefang Juexiao and Yuanzheng Temple Lianquan.....

Honganji Zhengru and Mingdefang Juexiao (who will use this name in the future) talked cordially for a long time, and then said with a smile: "Uncle has traveled abroad for more than ten years, but what do you think?" ”

"Well, I feel something, more or less." Mingdefang Juexiao pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Reciting Buddhism every day is not as good as doing a good deed every day." One is sincere, and the other is practice. ”

"Poor monks have traveled to the east and west for more than ten years, and there are not many people who have helped the people. Mingdefang Juexiao suddenly showed a pious look, and then folded his hands and recited the sentence "Nan Wu Amitabha".

After listening to Mingdebo's words, Honganji Zhengru was suddenly in awe. Looking at Mingdefang's tattered monk's robes with several patches, he said with a touched face, "Many monks have a lot of misunderstandings about my uncle, and I believe that only those who are really close friends with my uncle can understand my uncle's suffering." ”

"It's just that with my uncle's temperament, who in the world can enter my uncle's eyes?" Honganji said with emotion.

was comforted by a small pony slapped by Honganji Temple, and Mingdefang couldn't help but float, "Actually, it's not all like that!" As early as the time of Mikawa, the poor monks had close relations with the Kira clan and the Matsudaira clan in Mikawa, and later the Imagawa family in Suruga also had close contacts with the poor monks. ”

"Later, when I went to the western country, Yamana, Akamatsu, Urakami and other forces also respected the poor monks, and even wanted to invite the poor monks to serve as their Bodhi Temple with a lot of money!"

"But is the poor monk such a laity who is greedy for power and money?" Mingdefang is aware of a monk who has attained the Tao, and when he looks at the past from the perspective of Honganji Temple, he can even see the bursts of "Buddha light" above his head.

"So, in the end, the poor monk still rejected them and still went around cultivating!"

"Recently, the poor monk was just invited to preside over the succession ceremony of the shogun Ashikaga Yoshito. That Tsugawa Soji, the head of the Dewa Tsugawa family, still has to drag the poor monk to Dewa. ”

"After the poor monk sternly refused, he forced me to stuff more than ten pieces of gold and gave it to the poor people in Kyoto. Let's just say that the red envelope that the Tsugawa family once distributed in Kyoto was also a decision made by Tsugawa Soji by the perception of the poor monks, but the poor monks don't love those false names, so everyone in the world knows the name of the Tsugawa family! "If Soji Tsugawa is here, I'm afraid I'll be pissed off by this shameless liar.

But the Honganji temple certificate on the side didn't know this, and it was really because Mingdefang Juexiao said that these were true, and he suddenly showed a sincere admiration for Mingdefang Juexiao, "Uncle Gaoyi, he is worthy of being a high-ranking monk who has always been a sect." ”

"It's just, is my uncle really familiar with Soji Tsugawa, the head of the Tsugawa family?" Honganji Zhengru suddenly asked.
