Chapter 19: The Temple of Water
The Watergate team traveled for two days on a dry road to the border of the Fire Country, and then changed to an electric motor boat and continued on to the Water Country.
The Temple of Water is located in the Land of Water, but it is not located on the main land of the Land of Water, but on a small island.
After planning the itinerary and time on the water, Mizumon plans to enter the area of the water country at night, and then go to the temple of water, so that the possibility of encountering the fog ninja will be very small.
After all, if you encounter Kiri Shinobi in the Land of Water, there is a chance that you will be treated as an invading spy, and then it will be very troublesome.
After walking on the water for more than a day, I entered the territory of the land of water, and it was just when night fell, and I arrived at the island where the temple of water was located, which was eight or nine o'clock in the evening.
It was safe all the way.
Instead of rowing the boat directly to the island where the Temple of Water is located, Bo Feng Shuimen parked the boat near an island and reef not far from the Temple of Water, and after fixing the boat, the four of them disembarked, tread water, and then walked from the water to the Temple of Water.
When I arrived at the Temple of Water, I saw that it was also a small reef island, and the whole temple was built on the island, and it looked like the temple was half submerged in water, I don't know if it was caused by the sinking of the island reef, or the original design was a temple that was half cut in the water.
Lanterns are hung in the corners of the temple, and they are constantly swaying in the night wind, and the temple is also brightly lit! The scale of this water temple is quite large!
When the four of them were about to arrive at the gate of the Water Temple, the water surface that was still calm under their feet suddenly turned over, and a group of strangely shaped stone statues rose from under the surging water, which should be a strange-shaped "water statue" to be precise.
The water statue instantly surrounded the four people of Bo Feng Shui Gate, and they took the soil to their eyes, a total of eighteen bodies.
"Beware, everyone!"
Bo Feng Shuimen gave an order, and the four of them hurriedly stood together back to back in four directions, each pulling out the bitterness and forming a comprehensive defensive posture!
"Are these watery bodies?" Kakashi said alertly.
"It should be! But it shouldn't be complete! Bo Feng Shuimen replied.
"Who are you? Why dare you trespass on my water temple! ”
Suddenly, a water statue opened his mouth and questioned the four people of Bo Feng Shui Gate.
As soon as you hear it, it turns out to be a water statue in the Temple of Water, so don't worry.
"I came from the country of fire, and I was entrusted by Master Yanwu, the abbot of the Fire Temple, to ask to see Master Xiuming, the abbot of the Water Temple!"
Bo Feng Shui Gate Return.
He only said that he was entrusted by the Temple of Fire, and did not reveal the identity of the Konoha ninja, after all, the identity of the Konoha ninja is very embarrassing here.
"Are you from the Temple of Fire and asking to see my master, Abbot?"
The water statue that questioned the four people gradually transformed into the appearance of a temple monk wearing monk's robes and holding a wooden stick as he spoke.
"Yes! Is Master Xiuming your master? Watergate asked.
"Yes! My name is Daizo! We are the eighteen Arhats of the Temple of Water! Xiu Ming is our master! ”
As soon as Dazang said this, the other seventeen strange-shaped water statues also turned into physical Arhat monks, holding different weapons and posing in different shapes, and they still looked like they were fierce and vicious.
"What are you looking for my master?" In addition, an Arhat monk asked,
"It's not convenient to talk about this directly, I can only say that I am here to send something, and I must hand it over to Master Xiuming by hand, and I hope to introduce it!"
"Something?"
Dazang looked at the wave of wind and water, and there was a wisp of light in his eyes.
However, for the sake of convenience, the four of them had already taken off the Konoha forehead guard, and they really didn't know what the name of Xingyi could see.
"Okay, you wait a minute, I'll go tell the master!"
With that, Dazang made another seal, turned into a water image, and then sank to the bottom of the water.
The other seventeen people were still guarding the four of them in the water gate, as if they were afraid that the four of them would cause destruction!
According to the aura, Shuimen roughly estimated that these eighteen Arhat monks are all the strength of the upper ninja, from the average upper ninja to the elite upper ninja, but I didn't expect the strength of this small water temple to be so strong.
Watergate didn't regard them as enemies, but the basic defensive psychology couldn't be lost, after all, there were two students of the lower ninja and one middle ninja by his side.
"What the hell? Didn't that Great-Treasure say wait a minute? It's half an hour's wait! Obito muttered impatiently.
"Let's be patient! The rules of the monks are different from ours, so maybe the cultivator is busy! Nohara Rin whispered comfortingly.
"Everyone!"
Just as Obito was about to continue muttering, he suddenly heard Daizo's voice, and he melted from the bottom of the water again.
"Friend of the donor of the Temple of Fire, Master said that I would invite you into the temple to talk!"
"Thank you!" Watergate nodded.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Master said that this is his friend from the Land of Fire, don't worry. Go back and rest, all of you! ”
Dazang's words fell, and his disciples turned into water and dispersed.
Dazang led the four people of Shuimen to the temple, and then walked to apologize.
"I'm really sorry, because the watermelon mountain puffer ghost of the fog ninja has been making trouble with our water temple and is always making trouble, so we have to be vigilant against outsiders!"
Watermelon Mountain Puffer Fish Ghost? When Obito heard such a name, the image of this guy "fat" unconsciously popped up in his mind, and he was known as the strongest former ninja sword seven-person guy?
"It's okay, I hope our sudden arrival doesn't disturb your masters too much!" Watergate has always been so modest.
"You're welcome, please inside!"
Walking to the half-flooded gate of the Temple of Water, looking down the stairs leading to the interior of the Temple of Water, there is a huge courtyard, and the path of the courtyard connects the Drum Tower Wing and the various treasure halls.
"Wow! This temple is really peculiar, even though the water has flooded half of the gate, and there is nothing to block the sea, and the sea water has not poured into the temple! ”
Obito was amazed.
Soon Daizo led a few people from the courtyard into the reception hall, and the abbot of the Temple of Water, Xiu Ming, was already waiting there.
When I saw Xiu Ming, he was an old monk in his prime, with white eyebrows, but his spirit was excellent.
After greeting each other, they took their seats, and Xiu Ming ordered Dazang to watch tea for a few people.
"May I ask the name of the benefactor? What is it that my junior brother Yanwu entrusted to come here? ”
In fact, Yan Wu is not a junior disciple of Xiuming, but they worship Buddhism together, and they have dealings, and they are just called senior brothers.
"In Xiabo Feng Shui Gate, these are my students, we were entrusted by Master Yanwu, and we came here to deliver a Buddhist scripture for him!"
"Buddhist scriptures? That's really the case! But the treasure of this door, "Pure Heart Buddha Mantra"? Xiu Ming asked.
"Exactly!"
"Hmmm! Three months ago, Lao Wei received a letter from Senior Brother Yanwu, which hinted that this scripture would be sent, but he didn't expect it to be today. It's hard work for a few donors. ”
"It's a matter of duty!"
Bo Feng Shuimen said as he took out a scroll from his back, put it on the table and opened it, and then sealed, and on the scroll appeared the escorted Buddhist scripture package.
When I opened the package, it was the "Pure Heart Buddha Mantra" inside.
The sutras are also sealed in scrolls for safety.
"Please ask Master Xiuming to verify the authenticity, and I will go back and explain again!" Watergate said.
Xiu Ming picked up the scripture book and looked through it, and said with a smile: "Haha! This sutra is the sutra of the most precious sutra of my Buddhism, and there is nothing wrong with it! Great work! ”
At this time, Dazang came in with tea, and Xiu Ming hurriedly beckoned a few people to drink tea.
