Chapter 110: Stepping on the Training Hall
(Isn't it that the old man wrote it so well that he didn't even squirt a reader - manually funny.) Ask for recommendation votes, ask for collections, ask for forwards~~~)
---------------------------------------
While Takashi Kato was talking, our car had already driven into the main gate of the Yasukuni Shrine, passing the bronze statue of Masajiro Omura, who was a military strategist and statesman during the late Shogunate Restoration and played an important role in the introduction of Western military science, and was later assassinated by the remnants of the conservative shogunate.
The entrance is not wide, and the flow of people hurrying does not make people feel that this is a place that is sacred to some people, but from time to time it causes great waves in East Asia.
After Takashi Kato parked his car in the innermost space of the Sainiwa parking lot, we simply picked out some belongings and followed him out of the car.
"Dean Kato, where should we go?" The stallion asked.
"On the right is the flea market, which sells all kinds of souvenirs and small things, and the flea market is further to the right is the big torii gate (the first gate), so we don't go to the right, we have to go straight ahead, and then turn left to the outer garden rest house near the main entrance, which is a special place to eat." Taka Kato is like a tour guide, talking as he walks.
I looked in the direction that Takashi Kato had said, and I could see a large torii gate standing on the road in the distance.
The huge torii gate, completely different from most Fuso shrines, is made of small red wood, and the rugged shape reveals rigidity, coldness, and majesty, and it is said that the torii gate is the dividing point between the divine realm and the human world, and after passing the torii gate, it indicates that you have entered the world of the gods.
The large torii gate was originally made of copper and iron, but it was later dismantled by the Fuso government and used for war materials, and after the dismantling the gate was changed to wood, and the large torii gate I see now was rebuilt in 1974.
I continued to walk with Kato Taka and noticed that the road surface here is slightly uphill, with a long trail lined with neat stone lanterns on both sides, and this special pavement design makes these stone lanterns impossible to see at a glance.
After walking for a while, we passed by the bronze statue of Masajiro Omura again, and only then did we notice that the engraved characters under the bronze statue were all Chinese characters.
"Dean Kato, haven't you been here since the last time you came to inspect the ancient tomb? I didn't even know that the entrance to the ancient tomb was blocked by the expanded training hall, and I made a mistake. The stallion said.
"Ignorance! Do you often go to your local scenic spots? Takashi Kato asked unconvinced, "I've often heard people say that many big scientists have the same temper as children, and it seems to be true.
"What Dean Kato said is very true, take me as an example, Du Fu Thatched Cottage in Shudu, I have only been to it once in so many years, and what it looks like now is completely unclear, and I usually don't pay attention to it. You see, today is a weekday, there are not many tourists in the Yasukuni Shrine, and along the way, I only see a few travel agencies that have led groups to visit, and occasionally I meet a few foreigners like us, who are all blonde and blue-eyed. I said.
It didn't take long for us to walk to the restaurant, today was not a day off, and there was no big festival at the Yasukuni Shrine, the whole restaurant was empty, and Kato Taka asked us to sit by the window, and he went to order food by himself.
In Fuso's operation, Taka Kato took the lead in anything that needed to be negotiated, and this is my suggestion because he is a local, so it is not so easy to arouse suspicion in whatever he does.
"I thought this was a great place, come here to see, it's ordinary, it's far worse than Lanshan, and it doesn't look lively and fun like our big temple fair there." The stallion said as he looked out the window.
"Brother Pony is right, I agree." Long Mouth echoed.
In fact, what the stallion said is also true, the reason why the Yasukuni Shrine is "famous" is not because of how beautiful the scenery inside is, but because the political significance is greater than the practical significance.
"Students, it's time to eat." Taka Kato came back with a self-service bento that he bought.
"I'm dizzy, Dean Kato, just send it away with a boxed lunch for one person?" The stallion asked dissatisfiedly when he saw what Kato Taka had brought back.
"Ignorance! Your current expenses are all allocated from my labor fees, and they are using my money! To save, where is the food bad? There are authentic salmon sashimi and eel sushi in it, pony-san, don't be dissatisfied, there is a saying in your country that who knows the Chinese food, the grains are hard. Taka Kato patiently educates the stallions.
"Okay, okay, Dean Kato, but you may not know that the person who wrote this poem actually looked down on the peasants very much, and lived an extremely luxurious life." The stallion picked up a piece of salmon and stuffed it into his mouth, shaking his head.
"Xiaoma, with your level, you actually know these things, and you don't have to think about it to know that it must have been told to you by Ouyang classmate." Takashi Kato said.
"That's right, Mr. Kato, this is what Boss Ouyang told us when we had dinner at the Ricaton Hotel before." Shar Pei is an honest man and says truthfully.
"Little brother Shappi, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person, eat your meal. By the way, Ouyang, this operation, do you want to tell Lao Zhou, didn't he say that when we are going to fight, we only need to inform them, and they will definitely support it fully? The stallion was very upset when Shar Pei debunked, but he couldn't refute it, so he changed the subject and asked.
"Forget it this time, this promise of help, save it for the official entry into Xu Fu's tomb, fight here, the situation is too special, I have already told Lao Zhou about the general situation, when we come out of Abe Qingming's tomb, if necessary, let them help run away." Remember, your first goal this time is to find something like a map, take it when you see it, don't be polite to take as much as you want, don't let go of any items that may indicate the location of Xu Fu's tomb, and other irrelevant things, even treasures and the like, even if you want to take it, you must get clues about the location of Xu Fu's tomb. "I emphasized it to them again.
Everyone nodded in understanding, and after ten minutes, I saw that everyone had eaten and drunk enough, so I said, "Dean Kato, let's go to the Shinto Wunianliu Training Hall now." ”
"Well, okay, that's what I mean, let's go!" After Kato Takashi finished speaking, he got up and walked in front and led the way.
As we followed Kato Taka all the way, we could see several huge cherry trees growing in the lawn everywhere.
"Strange, why can't I find any information about the Shinto Missaraku Training Hall in the Yasukuni Shrine?" The stallion asked, fiddling with his phone as he walked.
"It used to be just a memorial venue, but after I surveyed the tombs, the government took over. Surely for some reason that cannot be disclosed, they expanded the training hall and used it for the Saito family, so I guess I can help them guard this place by the way. Takashi Kato said.
After walking for a while, we passed through the shrine gate (the main entrance of the shrine), the main hall (a place where the gods are worshipped), and the worship hall (a place where ordinary people worship), and several huge buildings appeared in front of us, the Shinto Munnenryu Training Hall, and we arrived!
