Seiryoji Temple is a small Buddhist temple located in the suburbs of Tokyo that does not have a lot of incense, and there is only one elderly monk in the temple who maintains the existence of the temple. The old monk's health is not as good as before, and now it takes a whole day to even clean the temple, and he is still tired and out of breath.

The old monk often misses the time when he was a little monk, when there were still masters and brothers in the temple, everyone cleaned the temple together, chanted scriptures, did homework, was nagged by the master together, and was punished for being lazy. At that time, because the old monk who was still a little monk was the youngest, the senior brothers took good care of him, and the relationship between the senior brothers was also very good because they were all orphans adopted by the master.

Originally, the old monk thought that life would go on like this day by day, until one day when the master was old and passed away, someone would become the new host, and then he would accept one or a few little apprentices, just like the master accepted himself as an apprentice, and then one day when he was old and wanted to pass away, he would pass on the mantle to his apprentice.

However, the war shattered the illusions of the old monk, and with the outbreak of the war, the old monk's brothers and sisters were all incorporated into the army to fight in the country on the other side of the sea. The old monk, who was still a little monk at the time, didn't understand why his own country wanted to invade other countries, he went to ask the master, but the master just sighed and didn't want to tell him the answer, just said that he would understand when he grew up.

The brothers went to war, and the old monk who was still a little monk and his master were left in the temple, as well as a strange bird that often flew to listen to the master's lectures. It was a strange bird, it looked a little like a crane, but its feathers were blue-black, its neck was not as long as that of a crane, and its claws were more like an eagle's claws, except for its long beak and huge wings that looked like a crane.

This strange bird not only looks strange, but also behaves strangely, always appearing in the backyard of the temple on time, listening to the master reciting scriptures, never absent, and always bringing some gifts. Sometimes it's some wild fruit wrapped in leaves, sometimes it's a fresh fish or river fresh. In the war years when materials were scarce, the old monks and masters who were still little monks relied on these gifts from strange birds to get through those difficult years.

Later, the war ended and Japan was defeated, and the old monk originally thought that his senior brother should come back after the war, but he didn't expect that what he was waiting for was not the returning senior brothers, but the bad news that they all died in a foreign land and the death of the master. The old monk clearly remembered that day, when the master was lecturing to the strange bird, a strange guest came to visit the master. The guest had a terrible feeling, and even the strange bird was so frightened by him that he flew away without listening to the master's lecture. Later, I don't know what the strange guest said to the master, but the old monk only remembered that after the guest left, the master passed away with a sad face after passing the mantle to him. And the only memory that the strange guest left for the old monk was his blue hunting robe and burning right eye.

When people are old, they always like to recall the past, and the old monk put down his broom and gently hammered his waist with his hand. Perhaps because he grew up in a temple, although Japanese monks do not prohibit marrying, the old monk is still alone, and there are no apprentices around him. The old monk now has nothing else to ask for, just hope that he can accept a little apprentice and pass on his mantle and this temple together.

But this idea has recently become a problem for the old monk. I don't know why, these days, there are always babies at the entrance of the temple, but they don't look like abandoned babies abandoned by their parents. When the first baby appeared, the old monk was happy, happy that he could finally have a disciple who inherited the mantle. But when the second, third, and even thirteenth babies appeared, the old monk couldn't laugh anymore. After learning from the news that there had been more than a dozen cases of lost babies in Tokyo, the old monk understood that he was already involved in trouble. He didn't dare to call the police because the babies were now in his temple and he couldn't get away with stealing them. Now, the old monk only hopes that the police will solve the case as soon as possible, and then he can hand over the babies to the police and return them to their parents.

Looking at the police car driving towards the temple, the old monk sighed, knowing that the police had finally come to the door, and the matter could finally be closed.

Under the guidance of Nishino Nanase, the Twilight Police took the action team of the countermeasure room and Chiya to the front of the Seiryoji Temple.

Looking at this rather ancient temple, Twilight frowned and asked Qianye, "Mr. Chiba, could this be a mistake, will such a temple also hide monsters?" ”

Qianye looked at the familiar Qingliang Temple in front of him, and answered the doubts of the Dusk Vigilante in a cold tone: "Since the feathers of those Gushu birds can emit Buddha light, it proves that this Gushu bird has listened to the lectures of senior monks in at least one temple. This Qingliang Temple doesn't seem to have anything special, but every grass and tree reveals Zen rhyme and Buddha's meaning, and there must have been a monk stationed here. If that Gu Yu bird had ever listened to the scriptures here, it was not impossible. ”

"Master, the place indicated by the paper crane is this temple." Nanase Nishino walked over to Chiya and whispered to him. Nanase Nishino, who was standing next to Qianye, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, although the weather was very hot, but standing next to Qianye, Nanase Nishino felt that no matter how hot the weather was, he could accept it.

Looking at Nanase Nishino, who was wiping her sweat, a trace of pity flowed in Qianye's heart, and she raised her hand and took out a talisman from her sleeve and put it on her shoulder. After the talisman was attached to her shoulder, Nanase Nishino suddenly felt a chill spread throughout her body, and the weather that she had originally felt hot suddenly became cooler. After touching the talisman attached to his left shoulder with some sweetness, Nanase Nishino smiled at Chiya, revealing a row of white teeth, and then lowered his head shyly.

Looking at the shy Nishino Nanase, Chiya shook his head and said to the twilight guard: "Let's go up, I think those stolen babies should be hidden here by that Gu Yu bird." ”

Officer Sato and Hauka Domimon stood behind the Twilight Officer, looked at the Seiryoji Temple in front of them, and asked Chiya with some puzzlement, "Mr. Chiba, why can you conclude that Gu Yutori would hide the baby here?" Hearing Officer Sato's question, Haruka Tsuchido also looked at Chiya curiously, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"Yes, Mr. Chiba, how can you be sure that the bird would hide the baby in the temple?" Twilight looked at Senya curiously, hoping to get an answer from him, after all, there was still no evidence that the babies were hiding in this temple.

"Because it's a Gu Bird, and a Gu Bird flies at night and hides during the day, covering ghosts and gods. The feathers of the clothes are for the birds, and the hair is for the women. A Heavenly Emperor girl, a nocturnal wandering girl, a hook star, and a hidden flyer. The bird has no children, and likes to take the son of man to raise him, and think that he is a son. Nowadays, children's clothes do not want to be exposed at night, so they love to blood their clothes, that is, to take children. Qianye explained as she walked towards the Qingliang Temple: "After Gu Yu's bird stole the baby, it was adopted by herself, but it is impossible for so many babies to hide in their own nest. Only by hiding these babies in the temple can they hide from the eyes of your police. As for why I'm sure those babies are hiding here? Don't you see the packaging of those discarded baby products in the garbage bags over there? With a strange smile on her face, Chiya pointed to the garbage bags stacked next to the bins and asked Twilight.

Looking at the clues pointed out by Qianye, Twilight Police suddenly looked embarrassed, as the head of the first section of the Metropolitan Police Department's search section specializing in criminal cases, at this time, Twilight Police couldn't help but wonder why he turned a blind eye to such obvious clues. After being annoyed, Twilight warned himself seriously that he couldn't forget his previous methods of investigating the case just because he had a spell to solve the problem.

Just when the twilight police were still annoyed, Qianye had already stepped through the open gate of Qingliang Temple and walked in.

Unlike some large temples, there are no statues on either side of the gate of Qingliang Temple, just a very ordinary wooden door. Behind the temple gate, an old monk who looked like his eyebrows were white was waiting in the courtyard with a broom, as if he had already expected the arrival of Qianye and his party.

"Amitabha, you're finally here." The old monk clasped his hands together, and after reciting a Buddha name, he looked at Qianye and his party, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and his eyes stared straight at Qianye and shouted in shock: "Why are you!" ”

Qianye looked at the frightened old monk in front of him playfully, squinting his eyes and looking at him with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "The old monk has seen you?" Saying that, Qianye stepped forward and walked into the old monk to ask carefully.

At this moment, a large black bird suddenly flew out of the backyard of the temple, rolled in the sky, and landed in the form of a woman in a feather robe. The woman took out a feather from her feather coat and turned it into a long knife in her hand, looked at Qianye vigilantly with her eyes, and stopped in front of the old monk. Although the woman's expression was firm, Qianye still saw a deep fear in her.

"Gu Won Bird, sure enough, you are hiding in this temple." Looking at the woman who suddenly appeared, a smile appeared on Chiya's face.

"Demons! I won't let you hurt Jinghai! Although the woman was extremely afraid of Qianye, she still stood firmly in front of the old monk, pointed the knife in her hand at Qianye, and shouted loudly to him.

"Sure enough, you know me." Qianye looked at the Gu Bird and the old monk in front of him, and said firmly. At this time, Twilight Police, Nishino Nanase and others heard the sound and rushed in as well.
