"Ryoko, you go cook, go quickly." The middle-aged monk pulled up the woman next to him, and the Japanese woman's kimono was not worn at all times, and this woman was wearing a regular dress.

"Yes." The woman timidly agreed, and she said naturally not yes, but Hai.

"Qiu Muyu, you go and help." Zuo Dengfeng said it twice in Chinese and Japanese.

Datou understood that Zuo Dengfeng was asking him to spy on this woman, so he immediately nodded and agreed, and followed the middle-aged woman to the backyard, the middle-aged monk looked back nervously, although Datou was a weak dwarf, the giant axe in his hand was not small.

"I said I wouldn't hurt you, I have some questions for you, and the clearer you answer, the sooner I'll leave." Zuo Dengfeng stretched out his finger and pointed to the cherry tree on the right side of the courtyard, there was a stone bench under the cherry tree.

The middle-aged monk nodded again and again when he heard this, and moved nervously to the bench, Zuo Dengfeng stretched out his hand to signal him to sit down, he waved his hand again and again, not daring to take a seat.

"Who else is there in the temple besides the two of you?" Zuo Dengfeng put down the wooden box and took out a sip of water from it.

"This monastery was handed down to me by my elders, and only my wife and I live here, please don't hurt her." The middle-aged monk rushed to the left and bowed repeatedly.

Zuo Dengfeng nodded when he heard this, and it was only at this moment that he knew that some Japanese temples were passed down from father to son.

"How do you live?" In order to prevent the other party from fainting due to excessive nervousness, Zuo Dengfeng chose a slightly lighter topic.

"The monastery is surrounded by our land, and we make a living by selling our graveyards, and if you need money, I can give it to you." Middle-aged monk sweats dripping from his forehead.

"I don't want money, I just want to ask you a few questions, you are a Buddhist monk, as far as I know, Buddhism had a fierce conflict with Shinto in the Asuka era more than 1,500 years ago, do you know about this?" Zuo Dengfeng asked, judging from his face, this middle-aged monk is an honest man, an honest person has few distracting thoughts, and it is possible for a person with few distracting thoughts to understand history quietly.

"You know, not long after Buddhism came to Japan, Shinto was very repulsive to us." The middle-aged monk nodded repeatedly, and his waist kept bent due to extreme nervousness.

"There was a very powerful protector in Shinto during that period, this protector was not an ordinary person, and wherever it went, it would cause drought, do you know that there was such a protector?" Zuo Dengfeng asked casually. If you look directly into the other person's eyes when talking to someone, it will increase the psychological pressure of the other party, so Zuo Dengfeng just drank water slowly and did not look at him directly.

"I haven't heard from the elders, if you can wait, I'm willing to consult our history books for you, there may be records there." The middle-aged monk stretched out his hand and pointed to the main hall on the north side.

"Thank you for your hard work." Zuo Dengfeng stood up and pointed to the main hall on the north side.

Hearing this, the middle-aged monk turned around and walked towards the main hall, Zuo Dengfeng followed behind with a wooden box, the middle-aged monk was afraid that Zuo Dengfeng would start behind him, and kept moving sideways forward, Zuo Dengfeng saw this and walked a few steps quickly and walked in front of him.

The temple has two floors, the building is mainly wood, the main building is gray wood, unlike the Chinese temples with gold and paint, and the windows are also wooden with window paper. The gate is narrower, but seven feet, the interior of the main hall is also very simple, there is no carved beam painting of the Chinese temple, the north shrine is enshrined with a Bodhisattva holding a staff, its appearance should be the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth, there is a hanging curtain on the altar, there is an incense burner and other things in front of the statue, as for the tribute is no longer on the tribute table, it has long been swept into the backpack by Songlin and Yang Zhi.

"Zuo Zhenren, here you go." When Songlin saw Zuo Dengfeng enter the door, he immediately stepped forward and handed him an apple.

"Go out and see how it goes, and eat later." Zuo Dengfeng took the apple and took a bite, Taoist disciples do not believe in the Buddha, it is not disrespectful to eat tribute, in addition, apples have a strong temptation for people who have not had fresh vegetables to eat for a long time.

"Okay." When Songlin and Yang Zhi saw Zuo Dengfeng take the apple, they immediately felt a sense of affection for him, and a good leader should be like this, and he can't be separated from the masses.

The middle-aged monk kept standing sideways and bowed his head outside the door, until the two walked out before entering the house sideways, seeing that the tribute was taken away, he folded his hands and bowed to the statue, and then turned around and walked to the right.

There is a wooden staircase on the right near the wall leading to the second floor, and the middle-aged monk leads the way, and the left climbs the peak and climbs the stairs upstairs.

The second floor is divided into two parts, east and west, with two wooden pillars in the middle, a chessboard and a tea set on the east side, and a bookshelf on the west side, on which a large number of books are placed, most of which have been yellowed, which shows the age.

This is a wooden floor, the middle-aged monk took off his shoes and went up, Zuo Dengfeng naturally did not take off his shoes, and followed him to the west side.

The middle-aged monk rummaged through the bookshelf for books, Zuo Dengfeng stepped forward to help, these books are bundled books, similar to the scrolls of calligraphy and painting, there is an approximate age on the outside of the frontispiece, although Zuo Dengfeng knows Japanese, but he does not know the history of Japan, and cannot convert the AD era according to the Japanese chronology, so he can only wait for the middle-aged monk to find it.

The middle-aged monk quickly found three volumes of ancient books from the bookshelf, with the words "Remember the truth with Ming" at the frontispiece, and the small print at the bottom read: "Warring States Period." ”

The Japanese are accustomed to sitting on the ground, there are no tables and chairs here, Zuo Dengfeng felt very unaccustomed, so he raised his hand and moved the right chess table over, and the middle-aged monk ** was shocked and shocked.

Due to the urgency of time, Zuo Dengfeng read it by himself, and the middle-aged monk explained that these three ancient books record the events of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming refers to the Emperor of Japan, who is the monarch of the Asuka Era, and the Asuka Era is equivalent to the Sui and Tang dynasties of China, written in the Warring States Period, Japan's Warring States Period and China's Warring States Period are not related, and Japan's Warring States Period is equivalent to China's Ming Dynasty.

Japanese writing has also changed in different historical periods, Zuo Dengfeng is very difficult to read five or six hundred years ago Japanese ancient books, fortunately, most of the ancient books recorded are irrelevant content, mainly writing the development history of Buddhism after it was transmitted to Japan, Zuo Dengfeng quickly finished a volume, no gains. As soon as the second volume was opened, he found a problem, after the death of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, there was a large-scale infighting in the court because of the issue of succession to the throne, and the two sides of the internal strife were the two strongest families at that time, the "Dalian" Monobe clan and the "minister" Soga clan, "Dalian" was the largest court official in Japan at that time, and the prime minister "Minister" was the second minister, and the Monobe clan and the Soga clan were related to the emperor, and the Monobe clan supported the emperor's younger brother, and this branch believed in the native Shintoism, The Soga clan supported the emperor's son, a group of Buddhists, and the war ended with the victory of the "minister" Soga Mako, who was killed and succeeded by the emperor, and Buddhism gained a firm foothold in Japan from then on.

Zuo Dengfeng is not interested in the power struggle in Japan, he is interested in the record of the last battle of the posterity, when the sister of Su I Mazi was the queen of Japan, so although he was the second minister, he had more cronies in the court than the Monobe clan, the war was the Monobe clan that he united with other ministers to crusade together, the fief of the Monobe clan at that time was in Shibukawa County, Hanoi State, and the coalition army of the Soga Mazi was killed and retreated three times, the reason is that the Monobe clan has a "black-faced ghost" accompanying him, invulnerable, invincible.

In the end, the Su I clan had no choice, so they went to Goryeo to invite the Zhengde monks, subdued the ghosts, and built an eight-story pagoda in Heishi Mountain to suppress them.

This is the only clue, and the third volume of the ancient book records some of the events that followed, about how Buddhism was adopted by the Japanese ruling class and forced by the ruling class to believe in the people.

"Where is Hanoi now?" Zuo Dengfeng asked the middle-aged monk kneeling next to him, Japan's kneeling is equivalent to China's sitting, it is just a humble sitting posture, and it does not mean begging for mercy.

"Eastern Osaka." The monk replied.

"Is the eight-story pagoda in Blackstone Mountain still there?" Zuo Dengfeng asked again.

"Mt. Kuroishi is also in Osaka, but it is under the jurisdiction of Shintoism, so I haven't been there, so I don't know if there is a pagoda there." The middle-aged monk shook his head and replied.

While the two were talking, Songlin Yang Zhi and others went upstairs with a plate, which contained food, including broth, cabbage, and fried meatballs, and the staple food was rice.

Zuo Dengfeng returned the three volumes of ancient books to the middle-aged monk, vacated the table, and everyone sat around to eat, the middle-aged monk put the ancient books in their place, and the husband and wife stood beside them tremblingly, not daring to make the slightest sound.

"I said I wouldn't kill you." Zuo Dengfeng raised his hand and sent out Xuanyin True Qi to freeze the two of them, these two people know too much, the best way is to kill them, but after eating other people's food, you can't kill them anymore, and if you can't kill them, you can't leak the news.

"Mu Yu, where is Osaka?" Zuo Dengfeng quickly finished his meal and picked up the half-eaten apple.

"To the north of the east here, it's a big city." The big head took out the map and looked at it for a moment.

"There's a black rock mountain east of Osaka, and that's our destination." Zuo Dengfeng said casually.

"Zuo Zhenren, the corpse is in Blackstone Mountain?" Matsubayashi pulled the rice and asked.

"No, the Drought was sealed there." Zuo Dengfeng shook his head and said, since there is no clue about the corpse, he can only follow the vine and find the drought first.

"Do you know where Blackstone Mountain is?" Yang Zhi put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked the big head.

"I don't know, my eyes are black." The big head was interrupted from eating one after another, and simply put down the chopsticks.

"Don't look at me, I know Japanese, but I've never been to Japan." Zuo Dengfeng saw Yang Zhi looking at him, so he waved his hand at him.

"Then aren't we blind men and horses?" Yang Zhi took out a carrot from her pocket and took a bite, there were no fresh vegetables and fruits to eat for a long time, even the cultivators were all yellow, dry and heartburning.

"Blind horses are certain, blind people can't talk about it." The big head said with a smile, the four of them are all purple qi masters, even if they are alone, they are not timid, such a team can almost run rampant in Japan.

"To the east is the city, we can't hide our whereabouts anymore, once our whereabouts are exposed, there will be more and more pursuers, and the resistance will be greater and greater." Although Zuo Dengfeng is confident, he is not blindly optimistic, he never underestimates himself, but he never underestimates his opponent.

Hearing this, the three of them nodded again and again, indicating that they were mentally prepared.

The pine forest swept away the food, and the people packed up and left the monastery and flew eastward, into the densely populated city......
