Chapter 214: Snow Passes Away

"Done!" Nakagen Hiyaka cheered, held up the Buddhist scriptures he had copied, and after carefully checking them, he nodded with satisfaction, stood up with the Buddhist scriptures he copied, and walked towards Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi on the side.

"Nanamin! I've finished copying this one! Nakamoto Hiyaka handed the copied Buddhist scripture in her hand to Nanami Hashimoto and said to her excitedly.

Taking the Buddhist scripture handed over by Nakamoto Hika, Nana Hashimoto showed a gentle smile to her: "Hard work, Blackberry Candy!" In this way, all the copied sutras are complete. Saying that, Nana Hashimoto put the Buddhist scriptures copied by Hikaka Nakamoto and the Buddhist scriptures copied by other members neatly together, looking at these Buddhist scriptures copied by the members, Nanami Hashimoto couldn't help but show a satisfied expression.

"Nanamin, how many sutras are there here?" Nakamoto Hiyaka looked at the Buddhist scriptures that had not been put away by Nana Hashimoto, and asked her curiously.

Nana Hashimoto didn't hear Nakamoto Hika's question, so after counting the number, he said to her, "If you add blackberry candy, there are twenty copies in total." After counting the numbers, Nana Hashimoto carefully put these Buddhist scriptures away, and prepared to hand them over to Shiramine Sagami tomorrow. If the Hakumine Sagami Workshop confirms that the sutras are in good condition, the members of Nogizaka 46 will take the sutras to Kyoto and enshrine them in different temples.

"Huh? How can there be twenty copies? Isn't there only 18 people in total? Nakagen Riya Xiang was very puzzled as to why there were two more copies of the Buddhist scriptures: "Nanamin, did anyone copy two copies?" ”

"Yes, both Yoshiko and Hori-chan copied two copies!" Nana Hashimoto explained to Hiyaka Nakamoto: "Because Yoshiko is a princess and the chief priest of this sacrifice ceremony, she copied two Buddhist scriptures. Hori-chan's case,It seems that she wants to make more contributions because she's a new single center.,So I copied two copies too.。 ”

Hearing Nanami Hashimoto's explanation, Nakamoto Hiyaka's eyes suddenly widened, and her tone was a little surprised: "Kako and Hori-chan?" They actually copied two copies, so does it matter if they are healthy? To make blood ink, they need to draw blood, are they okay? Remembering that she had gone to draw blood in order to copy Buddhist scriptures and make blood ink, Nakamoto Hiya Xiang was concerned about Yoshiko and Hori Weiyangna, who had copied one more Buddhist scripture.

"Although Yoshiko and Hori-chan may feel a little tired because of the extra blood draw, they drank some milk after copying the Buddhist scriptures, and now they are resting, so there is no major problem." Nana Hashimoto carefully explained to Hiyaka Nakamoto: "Thank you Blackberry Candy for your concern, everyone has gone to the lounge, do you want to go over to Blackberry Candy?" The people at the Imperial Household Agency have prepared delicious snacks and condolences! ”

"Hey, hey! I'm going! Hearing that there was something delicious, Nakamoto Hiyaka became excited, but looking at the room where only she and Nanami Hashimoto were left, she asked Nanami Hashimoto with concern: "What about Nanami Min, you?" Won't you go over? ”

"I'm going to sort out these Buddhist scriptures, and Blackberry Candy will go over first!" Nana Hashimoto smiled at Hiyaka Nakamoto, saying that she still had something to do.

"That's it, then I'll go over first, Nanamin, you should come over quickly, otherwise the delicious food will definitely be eaten by them!" Nakamoto Hiya showed a cute smile towards Nana Hashimoto and said seriously.

"I know, Blackberry Candy!" Just as Nanami Hashimoto responded with a smile to Nakamoto Hika, Mai Shiraishi pushed the door and walked in, still holding a plate with two cakes and a carton of milk on the plate. Seeing Mai Shiraishi walking in, Nana Hashimoto greeted her: "Mai, why are you here?" What about the other members? ”

"I'll see if you're done here, and I'll bring you something to eat by the way." Mai Shiraishi handed the plate in her hand to Nanami Hashimoto, and at the same time said to Nakamoto Hika: "Blackberry Candy, hurry up and go over after copying the Buddhist scriptures, if you don't go over, the cake will be eaten by Ichikuta and Sha Yuri." ”

"Ahh Nanamin, Mai, I'll go over first, goodbye! Nakamoto Hiya heard Mai Shiraishi say this, and after hurriedly saying goodbye to the two, she quickly ran towards the lounge, for fear that Ikuta Erika and Matsumura Sayuri would finish the cake. Looking at Hiyaka Nakamoto, who was running towards the lounge, Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi both laughed.

"Nanamin, are you done here?" When Nakamoto Hiyaka walked away, Mai Shiraishi asked Nanami Hashimoto.

"It's almost finished, this blackberry candy is already the last one, all twenty Buddhist scriptures have been sorted out, just take it to His Excellency Baifeng Sagami Fang tomorrow." Nana Hashimoto nodded, gently patted the Buddhist scriptures that had been arranged, and said with a smile to Mai Shiraishi.

"Hmm, do these sutras really work? Although everyone is very serious about copying, can these Buddhist scriptures really replace the five Buddhist scriptures in the blood book of Emperor Chongde back then, so that his resentment can be dispelled? Looking at the Buddhist scriptures copied by these members using their own blood to make blood ink, Mai Shiraishi still had worry in her eyes that could not be concealed.

Nana Hashimoto didn't pick up a piece of cake, and while biting into the cake, she comforted Mai Shiraishi while drinking milk: "Don't worry so much, Mai." The members of these sutras can't feel the strong will, don't you feel it? Believe me, these sutras will definitely do the trick. And even if the Buddhist scriptures we recopied can't work, haven't they already found three Buddhist scriptures that Emperor Chongde sank into the sea back then? Maybe they can find all five sutras? ”

"Of course I can feel the power of the wishes on these Buddhist scriptures we copied, but I'm still worried!" Mai Shiraishi pursed her lips, and said to Nanami Hashimoto a little coquettishly: "In the afternoon, the three resentments that appeared were so powerful, how do you see the gap between the two of these Buddhist scriptures that we copied are elephants and ants, right?" So far, I can only hope that Jiu Jing and Demon Dao Ji will be able to find the remaining two Buddhist scriptures. ”

"You can't say that, Mai." Nana Hashimoto swallowed the cake in her mouth, pulled a napkin and carefully wiped her lips, while refuting Mai Shiraishi's opinion: "In the Buddha's view, a beggar donating his only one yen is compared with the 10,000 yen donated by a wealthy businessman, although the latter's wealth is 10,000 times that of the former, but the good thoughts condensed in it, the former is 10,000 times that of the latter. The same is true of these Buddhist scriptures that we copied, although the aspirations condensed on them are not strong, but these are the most pious hearts and good thoughts of the members, and I believe that they will definitely play a role! ”

Hearing Nana Hashimoto say this, Mai Shiraishi could only nod helplessly, agreeing with Nanami Hashimoto's statement.

————————————————————

After Jiu Jing took over the Buddhist scriptures that he and Demon Dao Ji had sealed before from the master of the sea fang, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's three-fifths of the way through." After checking the Buddhist scriptures in his hand, Jiu Jing raised his head and said to the demon sword Ji.

"We can't relax yet, there are still two Buddhist scriptures that have not been found." Demon Dao Ji's expression was still indifferent, looking at the Buddhist scriptures in Jiu Jing's hand, her eyes turned to the squid again: "Squid, what are the places where your grandmother said that it is possible?" Seeing that the demon sword Ji asked, Jiu Jing also turned his gaze to the squid.

Seeing that the eyes of the demon sword Ji and Jiujing turned to him, the squid hurriedly thought about it for a while and said, "We have basically been to several places that my grandmother said in the afternoon, and now only the Naruto Strait is left. But at the mention of the Naruto Strait, the squid's face looked a little worried and afraid.

"Sister Squid, didn't the old lady tell you not to go to the Naruto Strait?" A little monster who was called by the squid to help suddenly pulled the corner of the squid's clothes and whispered to her.

The squid hurriedly waved his hand to signal the little monster not to interject, and whispered a warning to him: "When the big monster speaks, don't interject!" It will make others think that our Shikoku monsters have no rules! ”

Seeing the squid's small movements, the owner of the sea shop on the side frowned and asked her, "Squid, what's the matter?" Is there anything wrong with the Naruto Strait? "Although the voice of the little monster just now was very small, for the big monster, it was no different from yelling.

"I'm sorry, Lord Haifang, the little ones are not sensible!" When the squid saw the owner of the sea asking, she hurriedly bowed her head and apologized to him, and the little monster beside her also hurriedly bowed to the owner of the sea with a fearful face, and even her body trembled a little. For these little monsters, a big monster like the owner of the sea can make them tremble with their momentum alone.

The owner waved his hand absently, not caring about the little monster's faux pas, and asked the squid, "He just said that there was anything wrong with the Naruto Strait?" Hearing the Haifang master's question, Jiu Jing and Demon Dao Ji also paid attention to the squid's answer.

After squid hesitated for a while, he still told the owner of the sea and Kujin and Demon Daohime the truth: "The only suspicious place related to the resentment that Grandma told us is now the Naruto Strait, but the Naruto Strait is a legendary forbidden place for the local yokai living in the Seto Inland Sea. ”

"Forbidden land? What's going on? Hearing the squid say this, both the Haifang Master and Jiu Jing became curious, and even the Demon Sword Ji's eyes were a little more probing, obviously they were all interested in the forbidden place in the squid's mouth.

"Yes, my lords." After nodding his head, the squid explained in detail to several big monsters: "The Naruto Strait has been an important gateway to the Seto Inland Sea since ancient times, and the Naruto whirlpool is also an important scenic spot here. But 500 years ago, a large youkai suddenly appeared in the Naruto Strait for some reason and took over. Not only that, but she is entrenched in the Naruto Strait, prohibiting all other yokai from approaching the bottom of the Naruto Strait, and any small youkai that approaches there will not be killed by this big youkai, but will be severely repaired and thrown out of the Naruto whirlpool. It was so uncomfortable that over time, no yokai would approach the Naruto Strait casually, only in recent years some little youkai who wanted to find excitement would occasionally go there and be thrown out. ”

"Wait, you're saying that the big youkai came to the Seto Inland Sea five hundred years ago and has been living in the Naruto Strait all along?" Jiu Jing seemed to hear something different from the squid's words, and hurriedly confirmed to her, "Then do you know the name of this big monster?" Is her body a yellow dragon? ”

"Huh? Lord Jiujing, how do you know that the big monster is Huanglong's? Do you know this big monster? The squid looked at Jiujing with a surprised expression, wondering why she knew the true body of this great youkai entrenched in the Naruto Strait: "We really don't know her name, it seems that every time a little youkai harasses her and wants to ask her name, he will say, 'The name that the Lord gave me is not something that you incompetent people can know!'" So even those of us who live in the Seto Inland Sea don't know what her name is. ”

"Autumn Rain Pill! It must be the Autumn Rain Pill! Her name was given to him by an adult, and it was something she was most proud of! Jiu Jing suddenly became excited, but the words he said were a little incomprehensible: "Five hundred years, I know!" Now that the adults have returned, how can the Snow Death Team of 500 years ago be absent! No wonder the Lord asked us to pass the word to Qiuyu Pill five hundred years later, it turned out that this was the case! ”

"What are you talking about? Do you know the great youkai that entrenches in the Naruto Strait? The owner of the sea square looked at Jiujing, who was inexplicably excited, and asked her. And the demon sword Ji on the side also looked at Jiu Jing with a somewhat curious look.

Jiu Jing nodded excitedly, and explained to the Sea Fang Master and the Demon Sword Princess: "Qiu Yumaru is the same as me, they are both members of the Snow Death Group five hundred years ago, but the Snow Death Group was scattered five hundred years ago due to the departure of the General General, and our subordinates have not been in contact with each other for a long time. The Autumn Rain Pill is supposed to have been the Seto Inland Sea that only came at that time, so it's no wonder that when the Lord left, he asked us to send a message to the Autumn Rain Pill five hundred years later, because the Lord had already expected that we would meet again one day! ”

Looking at the excited Jiu Jing, whether it was the Demon Sword Ji or the Sea Fang Master, or several other martial arts cadres of the Nine-Tails Group, they all felt the excitement of meeting their companions again five hundred years later.

Early the next morning, the members of Nogizaka 46, who had rested for the night, came to the Hakumine Imperial Tomb again. This time, they also brought with them the Buddhist scriptures that they had copied with their own hands in blood and ink, hoping to use these Buddhist scriptures to dispel Emperor Shotoku's resentment.
