"Hello."

The witch beat the wooden fish without distraction, reading the scriptures, ignoring the meaning of the others.

"Huh!"

Ignored.

Kazuki Yukihara smiled awkwardly, accentuated his voice, and continued, "Hello. ”

Maiko Horikawa frowned in displeasure, opened her eyes and said coldly, "What's the matter?" ”

Hehe!

Kazuki Yukihara smiled wryly and asked, "Your Excellency's clothes don't look like a monk in the temple?" ”

Maiko Horikawa's eyes flashed with a touch of fanaticism, and she said reverently: "I used to be blinded by the shrine, but now I open my eyes and see the faith in my heart. ”

The two exchanged a few words.

Maiko Horikawa didn't want to say more, and Kazuki Yukihara didn't want to be bored.

After leaving.

Takenaka Ningchen whispered, "That witch has a problem. ”

Shrines and temples are cultivated in a different way than MPC, and the first two are mostly cultivated from an early age.

Therefore, the belief of witches and monks is very firm, and even if they betray shrines and temples, it is rare for them to switch to other gods and Buddhas.

"Hmm."

Yukihara Kazuki answered, lowered his voice, and said, "When it's night, we'll investigate." ”

Suddenly.

A bell rang in the front yard, followed by the sound of scripture recitation.

Curious, the four of them turned around and hurried towards the front yard.

Under the ancient trees in the courtyard.

The corpses were piled up in a mess, and there was a smell of blood.

Many monks surrounded the city, chanting the mantra with concentration, and each of them had an ancient bell phantom suspended above their heads.

Soon.

The ancient bell exudes a divine golden glow.

Shining with golden light.

The ancient tree was also dyed with a layer of gold, as if it had come to life, and its branches were windless and automatic, fiddling with their bewitching bodies.

Immediately, a little golden rain fell on the branches and fell on the corpse.

A bizarre scene happens.

The corpse that received the nourishment of the rain actually raised a wisp of dead soul.

Each of the dead souls, with a serene face and a faint smile on their faces, floated up with their arms outstretched, bathed in golden light, and disappeared into the ancient tree.

The whole process lasted about an hour.

After reading the whole thing, Kazuki Yukihara was silent.

Although he did not understand the principle of transcendence in the temple, according to the Buddhist scriptures:

The souls of the dead, after the transcendent elimination of sins, will go to the Elysium of the West, and will not merge into a strange ancient tree.

"Excess" is done.

Many monks stood up and bowed to the ancient tree, and then to the main hall of the Buddha statue.

At this time, at the position of the main entrance, another monk walked in with a pair of young men and women.

The youth wore sportswear, while the women wore denim trousers and short sleeves.

Xin Zheng greeted the four of them with a smile, then walked to the gate to greet the young man and woman and arranged a room for them.

The location where several people live is not far away.

The young man and woman quickly walked out, and when they learned that Kazuki Yukihara and the others were also overnight travelers, they immediately became enthusiastic.

By understanding.

The young man's name is Kudo Tani Burishing Sha, and the girl's name is Sayuri Longchuan.

The two were playing in the suburbs and happened to encounter a change.

Afraid of encountering monsters, I didn't dare to run around at will, and then I met the monks of Daozhong Temple who passed by, and I followed him to this place.

Kazuki Yukihara briefly told the experience of the four people.

Hearing this, Kudo Valley buried sand and dared to be surprised, and he had inexplicably more trust in Daozhong Temple in his heart.

After all, what kind of courage and compassion does it take to be able to run to the city to save people in troubled times?

It's getting dark.

It's meal time at the temple.

Shallot tofu toss, stir-fried cabbage in an iron pot, egg drop soup, a bowl of white rice......

Tofu is self-grinding, cabbage is self-grown, chickens are also raised by themselves, and rice should be purchased.

The menu is simple.

Yukihara Kazuki had a great appetite and ate two bowls.

China Suzuki and Chiyuki Hanasaki also had bulging stomachs.

During the meal.

The monks brought back a few more people from outside, including a shrine maiden.

But.

The shrine maiden was in a poor mental state and looked in a trance.

After finishing the meal, the shrine maiden said to the monk: "Thank you Master for rescuing, when I return to the shrine tomorrow, I will definitely repay your great kindness." ”

The monk replied: "Saving a life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, these are all things that the little monk does." ”

"Master Righteousness."

The shrine maiden said, and then returned to the inn.

Night.

Kazuki Yukihara wanted to explore the ancient temple at night.

Who knew that all night, the bells in the ancient temple were ringing, and there was the sound of 'Om Mani Horn Mi'.

Even the screams of the women could be heard, and I didn't know what the monks were doing when they weren't sleeping.

I waited all night.

None of the trees in the snowy fields were given a chance to investigate.

Vertical day.

With a dark circle under his eyes, Yukihara Kazuki pushed open the door, and saw that the three of Takenaka Ningchen were also like this, and his heart was a little more comfortable.

Kudo Tani pushed open the door energetically, and said in surprise: "Kazuki-kun, do you recognize the bed?" How did it get like this? ”

Kazuki Yukihara was puzzled in his heart, and asked quietly, "Kudo-kun, didn't you hear a strange sound last night?" ”

"Nope."

Kudo Tani said decisively, as if he had thought of something, a touch of embarrassment flashed on his face, and said, "Did you hear any strange sounds?" Let's pay attention to it later. ”

Longchuan Sayuri glared complainingly, then pulled the sleeve of Kudo Tani's sleeve, and lowered his head shyly.

China Suzuki was about to ask, but Kazuki Yukihara hurriedly interrupted her.

The crowd chatted on the occasion.

The new shrine maiden also came out of the house, and when she passed a few people, she walked to the front yard without saying a word.

Kazuki Yukihara said, "Let's go along and have a look." ”

"Hmm."

When they came to the front yard, they saw the shrine maiden talking to Shinsho, and then they followed them into the main hall.

When he came out, he seemed to be like Maiko Horikawa, who was meditating in the backyard yesterday, and became a fanatic of Buddhism.

The four of them looked at each other in confusion, and they couldn't figure it out even if they wanted to break their heads.

The shrine maiden who was thinking about returning to the shrine last night, why did she make such a decision after a night.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

Kazuki Yukihara felt that a dark cloud like ink was condensing in the sky above the Daozhong Temple, and the people were breathless.

……

Da-da-da-da!

There was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the main entrance, and the three of them walked out.

"I don't know if the shrine maidens of Asakusa Shrine are here, why are you here?"

The head witch Furuta Yuyue stepped forward and said, "My shrine witch Reiko Arai is staying at your temple, and today I will pick her up." ”

Xinzheng smiled slightly and said: "Gutian donor is one step late, Arai Reiko has joined Daozhong Temple this morning and became a monk of our temple. ”

"No way, Reiko won't join the Daozhong Temple." Furuta Yuyue exclaimed.

"Amitabha."

Xinzheng clasped his hands together and said, "Monks don't lie." ”

Gutian Youyue said with a gloomy face: "I want to see her." ”

Xinzheng said calmly: "Okay." Then he said, "Xinling, come out." ”

Reiko Arai walked out of the main entrance with a blank face.
