Chapter 896: Mysterious Monk (1)

In the Stone Mountain Imperial Workshop, a family secretary who seemed to be in charge of patrolling the workshop walked quickly to Kouyu Tongliang's side, and then looked at Kouyu Tongliang and said:

"Your Excellency, why don't you take off the hat, this is in front of the Mido Buddha."

"Would it be rude not to pick it?"

Kuchiwa Tongliang said as he looked at the family secretary who suddenly approached. In fact, there is a reason why he carries a hat, since he learned that a Shenglong of the Luo family had blocked the Maori family's request for Honganji Zhengru several times, he knew that there must be an eyeliner of the Luo family in the castle here, and he didn't want to expose himself, especially he didn't want the Luo family to know about his visit to Honganji Zhengru today, although he knew that with the strength that the Luo family had shown in this place before, it would be known by the Luo family sooner or later, but the longer it dragged on, the better it would be for the Maori family, Otherwise, once the Luo family's eyeliner knew about today's events too early, he was really worried that something would happen because of this.

"No, it's not just that." After hearing Kou Yu Tongliang's question, the family secretary smiled and waved his hand, "There is no dispute with the world here, and the grievances of the world will not affect here." I mean, you can take off your hat and feel free to cool off. ”

"Oh."

Originally, Kouyu Tongliang wanted to directly refuse the other party's request, but Kouyu Tongliang soon found that the family in front of him seemed a little strange, judging from the other party's expression, it seemed to have a trace of majesty, which made him suddenly suspicious in his heart, and after a little thought, he finally nodded lightly and untied the belt of the hat. The priest looked at him lightly and said again:

"Your Excellency, presiding over your request. There has already been a response. "After that. The family turned around and began to walk out.

"Sure enough."

After hearing this sentence from the other party. Kou Yutong immediately said in his conscience, obviously, the family in front of him is not an ordinary person. Seeing that the other party kept walking out, Kouyu Tongliang immediately followed the other party out.

At this time, outside the cloister, pilgrims were endless, but it was rare to see the figure of the samurai, but there were many women from merchants. It seems that Osaka has gradually prospered under the protection of Mido. People have different sorrows and pains on their faces.

"Your Excellency......" After a while, watching the mysterious family in front of him keep walking out, Kouyu Tsuryo finally couldn't help but speak, at this time, Kouyu Tsura wanted to know from the other party's mouth the decision to preside over Honganji Zhengru. But the other party obviously did not intend to fulfill his wish immediately, but turned his head and said with a smile:

"I'm going to take you to meet an interesting person. This person was raised by the Shenzang Temple of Mount Hiei, and is now under twenty, but he is preaching crooked reasoning everywhere, and he is a crazy monk who does not abide by the rules. Now that he has arrived at Senjuan, he keeps disturbing everyone to chant Buddha. ”

"Senju-an......"

Kouyu Tongliang muttered. Then he could only nod helplessly: "Okay." ”

So the two of them kept walking out of the city, all the way. Kouwa Tsura found that the castle of Mido here was much stronger than Tayama Castle in Yoshigun. Walking out of the city, you can see the natural moats under the blue sky and white clouds. At the confluence of the river, it is full of people and vibrant. Unlike the capital, and far from the sacred capitals of Uji, Yamada, and Nara, the capital of Buddhism, it does not have elegance or grandeur, but it has a vigorous vitality that can be restored immediately no matter how it is destroyed.

Castles tend to evolve with the strength of the regime, but here it is very different. From the very beginning, it has been opposed to the political forces, and there are negative omins everywhere. The market of Osaka gradually expands around Mido. But there is still one piece of green space that has not yet been developed, and that is Mori Village.

Senju-an is a grass hermitage with a bush behind the village of Idemori. There is neither the majestic mountain gate of the Tiantai sect and the Shingon sect, nor the solemn and mysterious sense of the ancient temple in the deep mountains. It gives people the feeling that the Buddha came to earth naked.

There are several thatched huts scattered on both sides of the hermitage, supported by bamboo, and a few people lying horizontally and vertically inside. Tsura Kuchiwa thought of the stables, and later of the ronin camp, as the smell of grilled fish wafted from the hut.

The family secretary hurriedly walked through the huts and walked into the hermitage in the middle. This is supposed to be the main hall. Inside there is a statue of Amitabha Buddha and a thick straw mat underneath. Instead of delicately crafted lotus flowers and candles, vegetables are placed on the straw mats. There are eggplants, lotus roots, and carrots. Compared to the grand hall of the Imperial Hall, it looks like a vegetable shop with Buddha statues.

There was a man of fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed strangely, like a guy in the shop. He sat cross-legged, his clothes in tattered clothes, and his hairy thighs could be seen. His bones are strong, his eyes are sharp, and his short hair of about an inch stands on end, reminiscent of hairy chestnuts. On either side of this eccentric man are several bare-chested, scarred and gruff ronin. But the weirdos still seem obtrusive in it.

The family secretary took off his straw sandals at the door, put them away carefully, glanced at the strange man, and laughed loudly: "Little monk, I'm here again." ”

"Please come in, until our confusion is relieved, feel free to come."

But he didn't answer the little monk's words, he found a place, and then sat down. Seeing this, Kouyu Tongliang had no choice but to sit on the right hand side of the mysterious family, and then observe the two of them's every move. The contrast between the steady and beautiful family and this strange man who seems to have just crawled out of the mud ditch in the field is a stark contrast, and Torya Kuchiba feels ridiculous.

But what was funny, he couldn't say. The two of them were energetic, but they seemed surprisingly calm. They are incompatible, but they exude strange peace and comical in their bones. But then it occurred to him that what had happened today was a bit strange, and even he himself didn't know why he had come here with this mysterious family, and he now only wanted to know the response of the presiding Honganji temple to the request of the Mori family.

"I'll introduce you." At this time, the family secretary turned his head sideways and said to Yu Tongliang: "If you ask him where he was born, he will definitely tell him that you were born in the world, and you will be named Ashina Taro, and your age is unknown." He smiled meaningfully and continued, "In short, this is an arrogant little monk. When he arrived at Mt. Hiei, he conceited that he named himself Suifeng, thinking that he could be as untainted as the breeze and comprehend the essence of Zen. Even though the tengu is capable and brave, what use can the creatures of the upper realm be used when they come to the mortal world? Little monk, do I have a point? He has always been aggressive, driven from place to place, and nowhere to be seen. I thought it was a gust of wind......"

The family secretary changed his usual solemnity and spoke very harshly. The strange monk just smiled, and then the family secretary's words continued: "Your statement is still not enough. Before this moment, I was called Suifeng, but once I made up my mind to save all the beings in this sunrise country with my own strength, I would change my name to Tianhai. The poor monk has a strange heart, and will not use the Buddha's teachings to make food, let alone take the Lotus Sutra to beg for food. ”

(Hehe, have you guessed the specific identity of this mysterious family secretary and monk?) (To be continued......)
