Wakayama Prefecture is located southwest of Japan's largest peninsula, the Kii Peninsula, facing the Pacific Ocean, bordering Mie Prefecture, Nara Prefecture, and Osaka Prefecture to the east and northeast, respectively, with Wakayama City as its capital.

(Note: The administrative division of Japan is different from that of Japan, and the city < prefecture.) For example, the administrative level of Fuyuki City in Japan has been replaced in China, and it is Fuyuki Prefecture. ）

Here in Wakayama Prefecture, there is a very famous scenic spot called Koyasan.

Koyasan is the home of the Japanese Shingon Tantra (also known as Tomi), which has survived centuries of war and is now a sacred place for studying Tohyun Buddhism from all over the world.

In Japan, although all the monks claim to have come from Mt. Hiei, after they passed away, they were all buried in Koyasan, and they were all buried in the innermost part of Koyasan.

This place is full of towering trees, and even in broad daylight, there is not a single ray of light that can penetrate it, and it is dark all day long, and the atmosphere is gloomy.

These centuries-old cedar forests are littered with tombstones, and each ancient pagoda tomb represents almost one of Japan's most famous celebrities. For example, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Uesugi Kennobu, Takeda Shingen, Akechi Mitsuhide, and almost all of Japan's eminent monks are buried here.

It is safe to say that Kongangbong-ji Temple in Koyasan is the center of the entire Buddhist religion in Japan, and its status is rivaled only by Mt. Hiei, another Buddhist holy site.

It is only in the past six months that Koyasan, which once attracted much attention, has gradually faded out of the field of vision of Japan's top management.

While on the surface the temple remains a sacred place in the Buddhist realm and the centerpiece of Shingon Tantra, a small shrine has sprung up in another part of Wakayama Prefecture that has taken its place as the top priority of the entire Japanese government.

Hakurei Shrine, a shrine that has been newly built for less than half a year, is located on a small lonely mountain in the northwest corner of Wakayama Prefecture.

There are no historical monuments in the vicinity. There is no bustling metropolis, and there are no good scenery worth mentioning.

Here, there are only a few dense forests and a few ordinary towns, as well as a vast sea that can be seen from the top of the mountain.

The daily sea breeze blows in your face, and occasionally white seagulls even land on the shrine's mountain gates.

Compared to Koyasan, a religious shrine in Wakayama Prefecture, this newly renovated shrine can be said to be unremarkable. There was not the slightest hint of divine majesty, and even in the town not far away, there were many people who did not know anything about this newly built shrine.

However, the people who live here are enough to attract the attention of the entire Japanese government, and even use the resources of the Japanese government to a certain extent to influence the direction of the election.

The detachment of his identity almost faintly stood alongside that of the emperor.

It's just that the townspeople who live in the town at the foot of the mountain would never have imagined that the girl who lived here, who would be depressed for a long time by the rise in vegetable prices, and who cheered happily for the price of food, would be the kind of person with a transcendent status.

At this time, when the midday sun shines in front of the mountain gate of Hakurei Shrine. Dressed in a red and white witch costume and carrying a large plastic bag, the shrine maiden was angrily climbing up the stone steps down the mountain.

When she reached the end of the stone steps, she was greeted by a fairly large platform.

Surrounded by lush trees, several wooden attics are scattered in a patchwork manner. Among them, the central attic is the tallest, and the wooden plaque engraved with the four large characters of "Hakurei Shrine" on the top shines in the sun.

Walking directly to the gate of the shrine, looking at the young man in front of him who was lying on the corridor outside the door taking a nap, the witch frowned and threw the pocket in her hand directly.

Moment. The sleeping young man screamed and sat up with his nose covered.

"Wow! It hurts! It hurts! Master, you're going to murder your apprentice?! ”

A hard watermelon was pulled out of the plastic bag. The corners of the young man's mouth twitched.

This is what hit him directly in the face just now......

Rubbing his nose with a depressed face, the young man seemed to be checking whether the bridge of his nose had been broken, and complained about the witch beside him like an angry little daughter-in-law.

"Master, you're too ruthless, aren't you? Is there anyone like you do to your apprentices? ”

The witch on the side glared at him and said angrily, "You're embarrassed to say it." My lovely apprentice. I have been wandering the rivers and lakes for so many years, and it is the first time that I have seen Master need to take care of his apprentices. ”

"Aren't you going to eat watermelon? Hey, I bought it for you, why don't you hurry up and kneel down and thank you? ”

The young man suddenly laughed and rubbed the bridge of his red nose. "What's that...... Master, don't be angry, I'm not injured and can't move? Otherwise, how could you bother you, Master? If you are injured, Master, whatever you want, I will not say a word, even if I fly to the end of the world, I will buy it for you. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the master cautiously and asked, "But Master, have you encountered anything?" When I first went out, I was fine, but when I came back, I was like a different person...... Has anyone you off? ”

The witch snorted coldly, her expression impatient, "Who can I be angry with?" Who else can I be angry with in this world? One or two of you are so powerful that you are about to fly into the sky, who else can I be angry with? ”

"Even the owner of Moyu Black Steel dares to provoke, why didn't you get hacked to death by that little girl? That saves me the annoyance of seeing you like this. ”

The young man's expression was suffocated, and he said embarrassedly, "What's that...... Didn't I explain it? I didn't provoke that Miss Du Xiyue at all. I just happened to meet her, and I couldn't help it if she wanted to cut me......"

"And ......"

Glancing cautiously at the witch in front of him, the young man hesitated for a while, and asked cautiously, "...... Master, are you so angry all of a sudden? Is it because of Mr. Li Yunfei? ”

Reimu's eyes snapped and he slapped him on the head, knocking the young man on the spot.

"Call you nonsense! Can you guess your master's thoughts? Lie down for half an hour and reflect on it. ”

was slapped to the ground by the shrine maiden, and the wound that was already injured almost collapsed again. The young man couldn't help but scream and wailed, "Master, you can't do this! ”

"I have made meritorious contributions to the country, I have shed blood for the government, and I want to see the emperor! I want to see the Emperor! ”

He lay there and wailed for a long time, and before Hakuri Reimu could go over to teach him a lesson, the young man suddenly stopped.

"Uh...... Anyway, that big brother over there, are you okay? ”

Looking at the person who suddenly appeared at the mountain gate with a confused expression, the young man tilted his head, a little confused, "Why do I see your face is so familiar?" Have we met? (To be continued.) )
