Volume 2 The Edge Chapter 154 Sensoji Temple and Akibayama
(Note: The information in the article comes from Baidu Encyclopedia.) )
Liu Mo and Su Ying spent nearly twenty days visiting 22 districts in Tokyo, including Shibuya and Shinjuku, during which they did not find any traces of false gods and apostles, but they encountered a few god eaters, some of whom were friendly and some were unfriendly, and finally Liu Mo and Su Ying came to Taito, the smallest area.
Although Taito Ward is the smallest, it has one of the most famous temples, Sensoji Temple, which is also the oldest temple in Tokyo, and is often found in Japanese comics.
As for the origin of Sensoji Temple, according to legend, in the 36th year of Emperor Suiko (628 AD), two fishermen fished in the Miyato River and fished up a 5.5-centimeter-high statue of the Golden Kannon. Since then, the temple has been repeatedly destroyed by fire and several times. In the early Edo period, Tokugawa Ieyasu rebuilt Sensoji Temple, turning it into a large group of temples and a place of amusement for nearby Edo citizens, so the architecture inside Sensoji Temple has an Edo style.
Before Su Ying and Liu Mo crossed the gate of the temple officially known as "Wind and Thunder Gate", they saw at a glance the sculptures of "Thunder God" and "Wind God" guarding the temple on the left and right sides of their own sides.
A huge red lantern hangs under the gate of the Kagamati Gate, and the word "Kaminarimon" is written on a black background and white edges, which has become the symbol of Sensoji Temple.
Even though it's still morning, pilgrims are already crowded with pilgrims entering the temple, stepping on the 140-meter stone-paved Shinto, where pilgrims are required to rinse their bodies and minds (gargle and wash their hands) in the hand wash pond on the right before paying their respects to the gods, and if they are thirsty, they can also drink directly from the clean water in the hand wash pool. There is a large round vessel for burning incense in the temple, similar to a tripod, and many pilgrims will bring the burning incense to their bodies to pray for good luck when they visit the shrine, and some foreign tourists take professional video cameras or mobile phones to record the scenery and activities in Sensoji Temple one by one.
Inside the temple, fat white doves, symbolizing "peace", fly freely, and from time to time tourists and pilgrims feed them with snacks.
Since it is a temple dedicated to the gods, it must be inseparable from the pseudo-gods, Su Ying thought so, so she and Liu Mo acted separately, and let Liu Mo go to the five-storied pagoda and other famous buildings in the temple to investigate the reality, and he went to the crowded place in the temple to ask for a signature.
And when the false god appears, if the other party has bad intentions, it may be a fight.
Su Ying looked around, all the pilgrims are shaking the lot, the good draw will be smiling, the smile on the face is brighter than the sun, the bad draw will sigh twice, and then tie it to the tree, in order to turn evil into good fortune, there is a wish wall nearby, hanging many prayer cards with wishes, as soon as the wind blows, the collision between the wooden cards will make a crisp "dangdang" sound, which is a wonderful melody.
There is nothing unusual, Su Ying is a little regretful, how come these pseudo-gods in Japan hide their heads and tails?
Su Ying looked at the pilgrims who were praying sincerely, and with a thought, she also stepped forward to pick up the lottery holder and shook a stick, with a number on it, so she went to the unsign office to find the signature, which is a five-word poem written in Chinese and supplemented by Japanese annotations:
There are joys and sorrows in the world,
Heavenly Dao protects mandarin ducks.
Father and daughter reunited,
Blood and tears are combined.
Thousands of people and hundreds of ghosts are blocked,
Celibacy blocks all things.
This goes and returns,
Life and death are boundless.
Su Ying muttered word by word, chuckling in her heart, "Big murderer." ”
Su Ying clenched her fists hard, directly crushed the wooden sign with the signature, and swayed it on the ground at will, looking a little lonely.
"Whatever, my life is up to me." Su Ying comforted herself in her heart, but she still couldn't deceive the loss in her heart.
Liu Mo's voice came from not far away, Su Ying looked back, quickly restrained her lonely expression, and smiled slightly.
Liu Mo trotted to Su Ying's side and asked, "Do you have a situation here?" ”
Su Ying shook her head, "No, what about you?" ”
"Hey, the scenery on the five-storied pagoda is good, I also saw relics, to be honest, I saw relics for the first time in my life, and it was quite interesting." Liu Mo smiled stupidly, looking like he had never seen the world.
"Then let's get out of here, I'm a little hungry, let's go out on the streets." Su Ying proposed, her voice soft, like the spring breeze wafting across her cheeks around her.
Liu Mo nodded, wanting to take Su Ying's hand, but he was embarrassed, and Su Ying had already moved first.
"What's wrong?" Su Ying glanced back, Liu Mo was still in place, so she asked suspiciously.
"No, nothing." Liu Mo took quick steps to keep up.
In front of Sensoji Temple, there is a bustling street called Nakamise Shopping Street, where you can see the tallest tower in Tokyo, the Skytree.
The Nakamise shopping street stretches from Kaminarimon Gate to Sensoji Temple's main grounds and is about 250 meters long. There are more than 100 shops on both sides, most of them 100-year-old, selling local specialties and some common tourist souvenirs, the most famous of which is "Ningyoyaki".
Liu Mo and Su Ying walked through the bustling crowd, and first saw a shop selling "takoyaki", the business of the shop was very good, the boss and the clerk were busy sweating profusely, and they were all turning over the octopus dumplings on the grill.
"Eat?" Su Ying asked Liu Mo beside her with a smile.
Liu Mo shuddered, a little jealous in his heart, the octopus apostle still left a lot of shadows in his heart.
But Liu Mo glanced at Su Ying, who was looking forward to it beside him, and had to agree hard, "Then I'll have one." ”
Su Ying smiled and handed the boss some yen, took the two takoyaki carefully packed by the male clerk who was stunned by his beauty, and handed one to Liu Mo.
The aroma is tangy.
Su Ying ate a takoyaki with the taste of seaweed and salad, and smiled from the bottom of her heart, sure enough, food is the best thing to make people feel better.
The Nakamise shopping street, which is full of fireworks, is a sea of joy and a happy party.
Suddenly, Su Ying and Liu Mo looked vigilantly at the stall selling "human-shaped yaki" in front of the left, in front of the booth stood two men in kimonos, one with unkempt hair, his hands in his sleeves, and a yellowed weed in his mouth, and the other with neat short hair, his hands on his waist, and the two sleeves of the kimono were cut off, so he could see a large thunderbolt tattoo on his arm.
The two men paid the money, took the humanoid roast handed by the boss, and chewed it heavily, but there was a clear feeling of "unfinished" on their faces.
Su Ying and Liu Mo were like great enemies, and two virtual statues appeared behind the two men, one holding a windbag in his hand, and the other was surrounded by several small drums floating behind him, with angry eyebrows and majestic style, exactly the same as the sculptures on both sides of the Wind and Thunder God Gate.
"Liu Mo, there are a lot of people here, don't act rashly." Su Ying reminded softly.
Liu Mo nodded, some sweat was already breaking out on his forehead, and now he was facing two false gods at the same time.
The man with unkempt hair also discovered the existence of Liu Mo and Su Ying, so the corners of his mouth moved, and the man with the thunder and lightning tattoo next to him who had finished enjoying the "humanoid burn" also turned his head and looked at Liu Mo and Su Ying.
Liu Mo's heart was pounding, and he felt like he was about to mention his throat, he thought that the big battle was about to break out, but he would have thought that the man with unkempt hair actually smiled, and then waved his hand at him and Su Ying, it seemed that he was actually greeting him in a friendly manner.
Then the two men in kimono ignored Su Ying and Liu Mo, who had already revealed their murderous aura, and left this Nakamishi shopping street one after the other, and disappeared in the crowd.
Liu Mo breathed a sigh of relief, although he was a little confused, but the other party did not have the idea of harming the innocent, so there was no need for him to take the lead and ask for trouble.
Su Ying's expression was solemn, and she felt more and more that something was wrong, and her intuition told her that there was definitely something wrong with this part of Japan as Dr. Q had a hunch.
After eating the takoyaki, while it was still early, Su Ying felt that it was time to find the acquaintance who was stationed in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture when she was a foreign aid, so she and Liu Mo took the Tokaido Shinkansen from Tokyo to Hamamatsu, and spent more than an hour to Hamamatsu City, and then took a taxi to the acquaintance's house after arriving in Hamamatsu City.
The young girl named "Nami" was very enthusiastic, and when she saw that her former companion came to the door, even if she still had a "boyfriend", she still generously invited the two to sit in the room, and also took out a lot of local delicacies to entertain Su Ying and Liu Mo.
On a small square wooden table on tatami mats, Shizuoka yakisoba, cherry blossom shrimp, hybrid strawberries, eel sashimi, and other foods are placed.
"ナミちゃん、今ここの状況はどうですか (Nami-chan, how is the situation on your side now)?" Su Ying picked up a cherry blossom shrimp and put it in the end, and asked straight to the point.
Nami put the pair of breasts on her chest that were as heavy as beautiful mountains on the table, smiled, and said, "実はこここ several years, 私たち神喰は暇です." 私はもう長い間それらに出会っていません。 彼らは隠れているようです (To be honest, in recent years, we gods have been very idle.) It's been a long time since I've encountered those things, and they all seem to be hiding). ”
Su Yingxiu frowned slightly, and thought carefully for a while, Liu Mo analyzed the other party's words, and after not feeling anything strange, he feasted on it, and the fried noodles and strawberries on the table were quickly swept away, as for the eel sashimi, Liu Mo couldn't adapt to the fishy smell of eating raw after the first bite, so he stopped using chopsticks.
"この前は月が赤くなりました。 ご存知ですか? それはきっと超強大なライバルです。 私は一生そのような神様に会わないでください。 今のように静かに死ぬまで生きることができればいいです (By the way, the moon turned red not long ago, you know?) It's definitely a super strong opponent, and I hope I don't meet that kind of opponent in my life, and it's best if I can live peacefully until death like I am now). Nami looked at Liu Mo and said.
Of course, Liu Mo knew about that incident, and he was one of the protagonists in it, but in order to avoid complications, he just nodded and didn't say anything else.
"こちらの状況はとてもいいですが、一人でここにいるのはつまらないです。 引き続きここに来てください (Although the situation on our side is good, I'm bored to be stationed here alone, so I still hope you can continue to come here to help me). Nami pressed a white arm against her delicate chin, her long hair scattered in the corner of the table, and smiled at Su Ying.
Su Ying came back to her senses, and originally wanted to pick up a cherry blossom shrimp, but found that she had already been eaten by Liu Mo, so she smiled helplessly, and then replied to Nami and said: "あなたがこんなに私のことを思っているなら、私はもちろんここで何日間泊まることができます (Since you miss me so much, then I can stay here for a few more days). ”
When Nami heard Su Ying's words, she didn't shy away from the presence of Liu Mo, a boy, so she stood up directly and hugged Su Ying, and the burden on her chest was so heavy that Su Ying was almost out of breath.
Liu Mo's cheeks flushed slightly, and he turned his head away disrespectfully.
So Su Ying and Liu Mo under Nami's arrangement, stayed in a nearby mountain "Black Spring Villa" hot spring homestay, hidden in the dense maple trees, Shizuoka Prefecture is known as the "hot spring peninsula", so the hot springs in Binjiang City are also more famous, can activate the muscles and bones, dredge blood vessels, and can even play a role in the effect of rejuvenating the appearance and health, relax in the warm hot spring water full of mist, can quickly eliminate the fatigue of the day.
When night fell, Liu Mo and Su Ying each changed into bathrobes for soaking in the hot springs, and went to the hot springs that received boys and girls respectively under the leadership of the homestay maid.
Liu Mo lay in the steaming hot spring, his arms on the cold stones on the edge of the hot spring, his eyes from the stars in the sky to the surrounding green flowers and trees, and then to the mist in the hot spring, feeling that it was really a great enjoyment of life, and before he knew it, he began to fall asleep.
On the other side of the hot spring, which was only separated by a bamboo wall, Su Ying and Nami, two beautiful and touching girls, were playing in the hot soup with rose petals floating to their heart's content.
Nami, whose skin was soaked white and red, fluttered over, wrapped her arms around Su Ying's fair neck, stretched her arms into the ravine of the jade peak on Su Ying's chest, and boldly rubbed the oil.
Su Ying's face became puffy, and she begged for mercy shyly.
Nami kneaded it a few more times, and then asked, "ところで、あなたの彼氏はハンサムではないです." 彼はどうしてあなたのような美人を手に入れましたか (By the way,Your boyfriend doesn't look good.,How did you capture the heart of such a big beauty like you)? ”
Su Ying lowered her head and puffed out her cheeks to help her mouth, "私と彼はまだ Male and Female Friendship (He and I are not boyfriend and girlfriend)." ”
“ありえないでしょう! あなた達二人の行動は暗黙の了解があると思います(あなた達二人の行動は暗黙の了解があると思います)。 Nami continued to ask in surprise, "彼が好きですか?" 彼はきっとあなたが好きなのだと思います (Forget it, then do you like him?) I can tell he's definitely liking you). ”
Su Ying nodded slightly, and then buried the part below her nose in the hot spring water, feeling too shy to embarrass herself.
Nami opened her gossip soul and continued: "彼はきっと繊細な暖かい男だと思いますよね? あなたはチャンスをつかんでください。 実は私も男はハンサムでなくてもいいと思います (I think he must be a delicate warm man, right?) Then you have to seize the opportunity, in fact, I also think that men don't have to be handsome). ”
Su Ying resurfaced her head, sighed, and said, "でも、告白はやっぱり男の子からするべきだと思います." そのボケはいつになったらこの点に気付くか分かりません。 But I think the boy should take the initiative to confess this kind of thing. I don't know when that idiot will realize this)···"
Nami looked at the lovely peerless beauty in front of her, and sighed, after all, because of the special identity of the God Eater, there were fewer men who could have been contacted, and even fewer who met their own conditions made them look at each other, so Nami has always been a single dog, and she can't give Su Ying any advice in love.
The roses on the hot spring exude a faint fragrance, thinking that it must be able to make Su Ying and Liu Mo have a good dream, maybe in the dream, both of them can get what they want.
At the same time, on Mt. Akiba, located in Shizuoka Prefecture, two men in kimonos are climbing the mountain with ease, but the speed is very fast, and it is possible to cross a dozen zhang in one step, flash a long distance, as if riding the wind and thunder and lightning, and soon arrive at the Akiba Yama Hongu Akiba Shrine near the summit.
The two men in kimono searched in the shrine, but they didn't find the guy they wanted to see, and they only saw the three lines of words on the stone tablet in the shrine:
First, I を信ずれば、失火と延焼と全の火difficultをescapeす (Whoever believes in me, fire, prolonged burning and all fires can be avoided).
Second, I believe in the disease, the suffering, the disaster, the suffering,
Third, I を信ずれば、生業と心心偨全の満足を和う (Whoever believes in me, life, karma, wishes and all satisfactions can be given).
So the two men in kimono continued to climb the mountain, and soon they reached the top of the mountain, where they could see the fireworks of the villages and towns below.
At this time, there was already a burly and tall man standing on the top of the mountain, his skin was a healthy bronze, his muscles were bulging, his rough muscle lines were like ridges, his hair was standing up, and he had the meaning of "angry hair rushing to the crown", and his whole body exuded a shocking atmosphere.
The man crossed his arms around his chest, looking down at the mortal at his feet, and seemed to recall the past again, with a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth, "ふん、foolかな人間は、燃え上がるsleeve一つでこの火事になるのか?" すべては私のささやかな楽しみのためです。 そのことを通じて、人間の私に対するfaithはますます多くなりました (Hmph, stupid human, a burning sleeve can cause such a fire?) It's all because of my little amusement, but after that incident, people have more and more faith in me.) ”
This is a household name in Japan, which can prevent fires, and in fact, it is also one of the world's three major fires - the real initiator of the Meili fire - Akiba Sanchibo Daisenken (Akiba Quanxian).
It was the Great Fire of the Ming Riki (also known as the Great Fire of Furisode) that occurred in Edo (present-day Tokyo) in 1657 that destroyed two-thirds of Edo Castle, burned a third of the population, about 107,000 people, and burned more than 500 daimyo mansions, more than 700 flag mansions, countless samurai mansions, more than 300 temples, and more than 400 towns to suffer from the fire kiss), that the status of this fire god rose dramatically in Japan, and it won the most prosperous incense and worship. Its center of worship has also spread throughout Japan from the Akiba Shrine in western Shizuoka Prefecture.
Akiba Quan turned around and saw the two rare customers, so he quipped: "お二人はどうして私を参拝する時間がありますか? (Why do you two have the time to visit me)? ”
The man in the kimono with a yellowed weed in his mouth said weakly: "まあ、あなたは本当に自分を過大評価しています。 大人の命令を伝えに来ただけです。 最近は他のところから二人の神喰いが来ました。 この時にトラブルを起こしてはいけません (Come on, you're really overestimating yourself.,We're just here to convey the instructions of the adults.,Recently, two God Eaters have come from other places.,Don't you cause trouble at this time.)。 ”
Akiba Gonken sneered, "Adult's がA few years ago, に "peaceful coexistence" という命令を出してから、私はもう長い間体を動かしていません (I haven't moved my muscles for a long time since the adult gave that order to "peaceful coexistence" a few years ago). ”
The kimono man with thunder and lightning patterns on his hands and arms couldn't help but laugh, "はははは、しかしあなたが先日人間の男を殺したと聞きました." その男は自分のwifeの前で男らしさを表現するために、あなたの神像に向かって何か悪口を言いました。 でも、このことは山のふもとの人間たちに、あなたという山の頂に住んでいるmonsterのしわざだと思われています(Hahaha,I heard that you killed a human male just a few days ago.,The man insulted your idol in order to show manhood in front of his wife.。 However, this matter is being messed up by the stupid humans at the foot of the mountain as the ghosts who live on your mountain). ”
Akiba Quanxian's face changed, and his tone was low, "戦いたいですか (You want to fight)?" ”
The man in the kimono with thunder and lightning patterns on his hands and arms also changed his expression, and said defiantly: "あなたのこの山を壊してしまわないか心配です。 (I'm afraid I'll lose your mountain.) ”
Akiba Quan snorted coldly and stopped talking.
At this moment, a figure in an ancient kimono slowly stepped out from under a strangely shaped pine tree, the branches of the low variety of pine trees growing in a chaotic manner, and the leaves were also strangely luxuriant, like a ghost with teeth and claws in the dark night.
The figure has a human body, but the face is wrapped in a cloud of shadows, the only thing that can be seen is the charming fox eyes, so that several people present can't help but reverie, if this guy has a daughter, then it will definitely be a beautiful beauty to the extreme, maybe it can be equal to the Greek mythological god of beauty Aphrodite.
The figure also had two swords hanging from his waist.
A Heavenly Feather Feather Slash (also known as the Heavenly Ten Fist Sword), and a Budu Imperial Soul.
Two artifacts.
The man in the kimono with a yellowed weed in his mouth narrowed his eyes, and he was a little angry in his heart, the sword on the left side of the figure should have belonged to him, and the other one belonged to the dead Kenyu Thunder God, who was killed for breaking the adult's "peace order".
The man who was Susanoo spat out the yellowing weeds in his mouth, and although he wanted to get his weapon back, he was helpless, because this guy was created by the lord and his sister, and the weapon was also given by her.
And he was kicked out of Takamagahara by his sister, so he didn't want to make his sister angry anymore.
"私達はここから離れて、サスケ (Let's go, Sasuke)." The man let out a long sigh, his body turned into a violent wind, and in a flash, he decided that out of sight was clear, and another man in a kimono with two arms tattooed with thunder and lightning also disappeared into the sky in a flash of lightning.
When Susanoo and Sasuke were far away, the figure whose face was wrapped in a shadow took out a pot of alcohol that had been buried in the ground for an unknown number of years from his wide sleeve, and gently threw it to the fire god beside him.
Akiba Quan now caught the wine jug, glanced at this cold guy who has either practiced knives or drank since he came to his mountain, he didn't take the initiative to talk to him, and the other party never spoke, and smiled, but it was very suitable for his appetite, and he could be a friend, so he took a big gulp of wine.
···
In a cell in Fukuoka City, a man with a broken arm sits on the cold concrete floor of the prison.
The man's white vest was replaced by a prison uniform.
Moonlight poured in from the palm-sized window, illuminating the dust that flew in the air inside the cell, and the bright color was reminiscent of cold ice, and the man's cell was like an ice cellar.
Ever since he was sent to prison, Jack had been pondering how his delicate actions could fail, and finally came to an accurate conclusion that it was all because of the boy, the boy who punched his right hand, and if it weren't for him, he would never have ended up like this.
Jack angrily slammed his fist on the floor with one arm, clanging, because he committed an international crime, so he would be transferred to the Tokyo court for trial in a few days, and international terrorists would not end well.
At this moment, a faint voice entered the cell with the light moonlight.
"力をもらいたいですか (Do you want to gain power)?"
