"Bless the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, please bless His Majesty Emperor Chongde to dispel his resentment and die in bliss. Please bless us Nogizaka 46 to get better and better, and bless me to be recognized by everyone, Amitabha! Kneeling in front of the Buddha statue, Yoshiko folded her hands together and prayed to the statue of Kannon in front of her, hoping that the Bodhisattva would hear her wishes. Beside Yoshiko, several monks were reverently reciting scriptures and performing rituals.

In front of Yoshiko was a small offering table with three sutras dragged in yellow silk, one of the five sutras written in blood by Emperor Shotoku and two sutras copied by Yoshiko herself, and the other four sutras in the blood book of Emperor Shotoku and the sutras copied by the members of Nogizaka 46 were sent by the other members to other Buddhist temples in Kyoto for worship, and these three were sent by Yoshiko herself to Kiyomizu-dera Temple for worship.

As the oldest temple in Japan, the 11-faced thousand-armed Kannon statue enshrined in the main hall of Kiyomizudera Temple is one of Japan's rare national treasures, and it is usually only open to the public during the annual Ching Ming Festival. Fortunately, with her status as a royal family, Yoshiko not only enshrined these three Buddhist scriptures in front of the statue of Kannon in the main hall of Kiyomizu Temple, but also asked the abbot of Kiyomizu Temple to personally preside over the rituals to better dispel the resentment of Emperor Chongde lodged on the Buddhist scriptures.

"Amitabha, Your Royal Highness the Princess, please rest assured, these three Buddhist scriptures will always be enshrined in front of the Buddha, and we will also chant the sutras day and night, trying to dispel the resentment of Emperor Chongde and pray for him and Her Royal Highness the Princess." The abbot of Kiyomizuji Temple is an old monk, and after he finished doing the Dharma and reciting the scriptures, he stood up, folded his hands and recited a Buddha name to Yoshiko respectfully. Behind the abbot, the other monks remained in place and recited the scriptures after completing the rituals.

"Amitabha, there is Master Lao." Yoshiko also folded her hands and bowed to the old monk, and after all this, these three Buddhist scriptures were officially enshrined in Kiyomizu-ji Temple, and the sacrifice ceremony to Emperor Shotoku was officially over. Listening to the chanting sound that echoed throughout the main hall, and smelling the fragrance of sandalwood on the tip of her nose, Yoshiko, who had finally completed the worship of Emperor Shotoku, breathed a sigh of relief at this time, feeling that the burden in her heart had finally been put down.

At this moment, the three Buddhist scriptures enshrined in front of the statue of Guanyin suddenly bloomed brilliantly, and there was no wind automatically, and the pages of the book turned rapidly, revealing the black feathers sandwiched inside. Seeing these visions, the old monk and other monks on the side suddenly shouted in surprise: "The Buddha has appeared!" However, Yoshiko looked at the black feather floating from the pages of the book, and understood that this was the vision caused by the feather that Hakumine Sagami had put her in the Buddhist scriptures.

The three white peaks of Sagamifang's feathers floated up from the pages of the Buddhist scriptures, reflecting the golden light emitted by the Buddhist scriptures, and slowly floated towards Yoshiko. Jiazi subconsciously stretched out her hand, and the three feathers slowly fell into her hand.

Holding the three feathers that fell in her hand, Kako suddenly felt a little overwhelmed, although Baifeng Sagami had said that after enshrined the Buddhist scriptures to the Buddhist temple, these feathers were gifts he gave to Yoshiko and the members of Nogizaka 46, but Yoshiko really didn't understand what these feathers could do. However, thinking that these feathers were the feathers of the Great Tengu, Yoshiko nodded at the surprised old monk on the side to show an apologetic expression, and then took the three feathers into her arms, planning to ask Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi about the use of these three Great Tengu feathers.

In ancient Japan, all temples and shrines could only be built on the mountain, except for the two major temples in the east and west, which could be built in Kyoto Castle. Kiyomizudera Temple is located on the mountainside of Mt. Otowa and has a huge drop, so the Shimizu stage, which is 50 meters above the ground, is actually supported by 139 wooden pillars without the use of a single nail. Although Kiyomizu-dera Temple, originally built by the first Shogun Sakauetamura, was destroyed in the war, and the current Kiyomizu-dera Temple was built with donations from Tokugawa Ieyasu during the Tokugawa Shogunate, the Shimizu Stage still retains its appearance. With a panoramic view of Kyoto and the surrounding Mt. Otowa surrounded by greenery, it has been a famous cherry blossom and autumn leaf viewing spot in Kyoto since ancient times.

After collecting the three feathers, Yoshiko stepped out of the main hall of Kiyomizudera Temple, where the statue of Kannon was enshrined, and stood on the suspended Shimizu stage, and Yoshiko couldn't help but look into the distance and take in the whole of Kyoto. At this time, it is the season of October, and the red leaves on the mountain are the season to enjoy the maple leaves, looking at the red maple leaves in the mountains, the corners of Yoshiko's mouth are smiling on the fence of the Shimizu Stage, rubbing the wooden railing, and the mood has become comfortable.

"Ah, I can finally have some fun in Kyoto!" Mai Shiraishi stretched and said with a smile on her face to Nanami Hashimoto and Nanase Nishino, who were beside her.

Looking at Mai Shiraishi who was looking around happily, Nanami Hashimoto said to her with a smile on her face: "We only have one afternoon and evening, and we have to rush back to Tokyo tomorrow, do you have a plan for where to play Mai?" Don't run around! Although Nana Hashimoto did not say so, she herself was holding a guide map of Kyoto and was studying where to go.

Looking at Mai Shiraishi who was excited and Nanami Hashimoto who was studying the guide map with his head down, Nanase Nishino unconsciously said to them: "If you want to play, the best places to visit in Kyoto are Kinkakuji, Nijo Castle and Kiyomizudera Temple." If you want to buy something, you can go to Shijo Kawagen-cho, which is a famous shopping street. For a culinary experience of Kyoto, there are plenty of things to try around Gion and Yasaka Shrines, as well as Kiyomizudera Temple. However, we have limited time and may only be able to go to one place, so I recommend going to Kiyomizudera Temple in the afternoon, then walking to Yasaka Shrine, and walking to Gion in the evening, where there should be a geisha performance to watch in the evening. ”

"Eh, Nanasa, are you familiar with Kyoto? Have you ever been here? Hearing Nishino Nanase's introduction to Kyoto, Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi both looked at her curiously.

Nishino Nanase shook his head, pursed his lips a little shyly, tilted his head and said, "No, it's just that Tamako used to live in Kyoto for a long time, and I was curious about the differences between Kyoto now and Kyoto in the Warring States Period, so I deliberately checked some information on the Internet." However, Kyoto has not changed much, and many places are still the same as Tamako remembers. ”

Seeing that Nanase Nishino mentioned Wise Tamako, Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi both nodded, understanding Nanase Nishino's words, and turned to study where to get up in the afternoon.

"Otherwise, let's go to Shijo River Source Town in the afternoon, where we can buy food and eat delicious food. It should be quite interesting to visit the shopping streets of Kyoto, and it doesn't take much time. Mai Shiraishi looked at the guide map in Nanami Hashimoto's hand, and after synthesizing Nanase Nishino's introduction, she suggested to Nanami Hashimoto.

"Shijo River Source Town, it feels really good over there, and it's very close to Yasaka Shrine." Nana Hashimoto didn't see Mai Shiraishi wanting to go shopping, and after a little hesitation, he said to her: "Otherwise, Mai, let's go to Kiyomizu Temple now, and after visiting Kiyomizu Temple, we will go to Yasaka Shrine, and then have dinner at Yasaka Shrine, and then go to Shijo Kawagen Town in the evening, what do you think?" ”

"Is that so? I feel like I'm running out for a bit of a bit, but I can visit Kiyomizudera Temple and Yasaka Shrine. Mai Shiraishi hesitated for a moment, then agreed with Nanami Hashimoto's opinion, and then looked at Nanase Nishino: "Nanasai what about your opinion?" Do you want to go to Kiyomizudera Temple first, then Yasaka Shrine and Shijo Kawagencho, or do you want to go another route? Do you have anything you would like to visit? ”

Nanase Nishino heard Mai Shiraishi ask herself, and after hesitating for a moment, she shook her head and said, "Just do what you say, I don't have any particular places I want to go." Nishino Nanase smiled shyly after speaking, hiding his previous hesitation in his heart.

Seeing that Nanase Nishino hesitated for a moment before answering Mai Shiraishi's question, Nana Hashimoto didn't understand that Nanase Nishino might just be embarrassed, so he said to her: "It's okay Oh Nanasai, if you have a place you want to go, you can also say it, Mai and I don't particularly want to go to Kiyomizudera Temple and Shijo Kagengencho, it's okay to go to other places." ”

"No, forget it, it's not the same place anymore, and even if you go, there's no point." Listening to Nanami Hashimoto's words, Nanase Nishino seemed to be a little moved, but in the end he shook his head and rejected Nanami Hashimoto's kindness: "I'll go to Kiyomizu Temple with Nanamin, it's okay, it's okay to go to that place or not." ”

"Well, since Nanasai said so, I won't force it." Nana Hashimoto didn't see Nanase Nishino say this, so she had to give up, but she still asked Nanase Nishino curiously: "But Nanasai said that place, what kind of place is it, is it related to Tamako?" Could it be Honnoji? "The only place in Kyoto that Nana Hashimoto could not have imagined is the former wise Tamako.

"No, that place is not Honnoji, and Honnoji is only with my father back then...... Akechi Mitsuhide has something to do with me and Tamako. I wanted to go to the master's former residence in Kyoto. Nanase Nishino denied Nanami Hashimoto's speculation, shook his head and said his purpose: "When the master was still living in Kyoto, the Taisha was also in Kyoto. It was only later that the master moved to Tokyo, and he moved the Taisha shrine to Tokyo as well, and now it has long since become another place, so there is no point in going. ”

"Huh! A thousand nights' former residence in Tokyo? I'd like to check it out, too! Nanasai, where was the Taisha Shrine built back then? Mai Shiraishi heard that Nanase Nishino wanted to go to the former residence of Qianye, and immediately asked with great interest, and Nanami Hashimoto on the side also cast a curious gaze.

"In the past, the master's main shrine here was on the banks of the Kamogawa River, but it was not very far from the Yasaka Shrine." Speaking of Senya and the Taisha here, Nanase Nishino had a happy smile on his face, and introduced to Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi: "Master, he liked the water quality of Kiyomizuji Temple's Otowa Waterfall and the Shimizu Stage overlooking the whole of Kyoto, and seeing the scenery full of autumn leaves, so when Emperor Hanayama built this Taisha Shrine, the master placed this Taisha not far from Mt. Otowa. However, during the Edo period, the master had already moved the Taisha shrine to Tokyo, and it is no longer what it used to be. ”

"Is that so? In that case, people still want to take a look, after all, that's where Qianye once lived. Mai Shiraishi listened to Nanase Nishino's introduction, with an excited expression on her face, and proposed to Nanami Hashimoto: "Nana Min, if we stop by later, how about going to see the place where Senya lived back then?" Nanamin, you also want to know what the place where Qianye lived back then, right? ”

Hearing Mai Shiraishi say this, Nana Hashimoto was also a little moved, so he asked Nanase Nishino: "Nanasai, the former site of the Taisha here is not far from Kiyomizu-dera Temple?" If it's not far away, let's go over and have a look. ”

"It's not far away, but there are basically no traces of the master's life there now, and you may be disappointed if you go." Nanase Nishino didn't explain to Nana Hashimoto, but she was still a little hesitant to go to the former site of the Taisha here, after all, it had already become unrecognizable with the passage of time, and she wanted to go there, just to hang on to the Taisha that Wise Tamako had seen back then.

"It's okay, just take a look, even if there's nothing left there, we can imagine what the Taisha shrine in Tokyo looks like now! Besides, Nanasai should remember what the Taisha was like back then, right? You can describe it to us when the time comes! Regarding Nishino Nanase's concerns, Mai Shiraishi acted very indifferent and said to her with a smile.

"Well, in that case, we can go there after we get out of Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and then go to Yasaka Shrine." Nanase Nishino saw that Mai Shiraishi and Nanami Hashimoto both wanted to see the former site of the Taisha here, so they no longer hesitated, nodded and agreed.

"Good! Let's go to Kiyomizudera Temple now! Mai Shiraishi saw that the discussion had been decided, and immediately shouted excitedly. Seeing Mai Shiraishi's excited appearance, Nanami Hashimoto and Nanase Nishino also became more excited with her, and the three of them set off excitedly in the direction of Kiyomizu Temple.
