Chapter 226: Daocheng Temple Bell

"I don't know, there are many temples and shrines around here, who knows where he got out of his home?" The middle-aged man shook his head and walked away on his own. "Alas, the way of this world ......"

Zhang Fan thought for a while, left here, and asked some villagers along the way where the nearby temple was, which one was the biggest? The villagers all instructed Zhang Fan to go to a bird temple more than ten miles away.

Zhang Fan didn't say a word, drove to this temple, and saw that the incense in this temple was good, mainly dedicated to an ancient bird Buddha. The monks inside also look like they are all practicing, so it's unlikely that they will force them to become monks, right? It's impossible for a place like this to be infested with youkai. It also seems to be out of Kyoto.

Sure enough, after some understanding, there were indeed no villagers who came to ask for a monk. Even if you become a monk, you can't forget your family. However, an old monk saw Zhang Fan asking about this, so he pointed out that it might be a monster who was causing trouble, and he had heard about this kind of thing when he was young, but it was a legend from a long, long time ago.

Therefore, it is recommended that Zhang Fan go to the back of the mountain, a remote temple to visit. This kind of monster will generally haunt places where no one has a back to the shade, and there may be harvests in places where the yin qi is heavy.

Zhang Fan thanked him, informed Akon of the matter, and drove Willis into the mountains.

There are many temples and shrines in ancient Japan, and almost every rural town has a variety of temples and shrines of different sizes, and some of them are just like the land temples in rural China, which is a roadside shrine dedicated to a god.

Zhang Fan didn't have a way to identify monsters, so he had to ask around all the way, and every remote shrine went in to investigate, and he didn't even find a ghost shadow that day.

was discouraged, but got a message from Akon, asking Zhang Fan to give him Willis, saying that he wanted to come over to meet Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan was overjoyed when he heard this, with this ghost spirit to preside, he saved himself from bumping around. So he put Willis in the public space and walked on his own.

In a blink of an eye, it was getting late, and Zhang Fan saw that there were no hotels in the mountains, only a broken temple, so he told Aken his location and prepared to spend the night in the temple.

It was also Zhang Fan's bad luck, he came to the temple, and saw that there seemed to be a few words on the mountain gate that seemed to be called 'Daocheng Temple', and he did not doubt him. He stepped in. The temple looks dilapidated on the outside, but it is still clean inside, two monks clean the courtyard, the small main hall, and a few monks chanting Buddha. It's peaceful.

Zhang Fan was happy to see the temple, patted his clothes, straightened his helmet, and walked into the hall. The hall is not big, a sitting Buddha in front, full of antiquity, there is a big wooden fish on the big table on the right hand, but the left hand is a big bell with more than one person. Good guys, this bell will not look shabby even if it is placed in Kongobuji Temple at the Koyasan headquarters.

It's just that this big clock seems to be a little older, and maybe it has also experienced the fire, and there are traces of fire on the clock face, but it is a circle of snake-like scorch marks.

A monk next to the bell, when he saw someone coming in, pushed a horizontal log hard, hit the bell, and "Bang-" A low bell brought layers of sound waves, resounding throughout the temple. When the monks in the hall heard the bell ringing, as if they had received some reminder, they all recited the scriptures even harder.

Zhang Fan shook the bell, but he was also a little dizzy, this hall is not big, but the bell is not small! Zhang Fan only felt the sound of Buddha in his ears, and couldn't help but recite the Buddha as well. He was originally a Buddhist, and he was familiar with this Dharma, and after a few steps, he came to the empty seat in front of the Buddha, sat down cross-legged, and entered the state.

The rhythm of the Buddhist chanting voice is very hypnotic, and after a while, Zhang Fan was fascinated and drewd. I was a little tired in my heart. I just feel that it is very comfortable to recite the scriptures and meditate with everyone in this way.

This was originally the day I wanted to live, to be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day. No matter what the world is complicated, everything can be left behind. I'm hiding in this corner, and all strife has nothing to do with me! Relax, relax!

Zhang Fan called in his heart, let go, let go, this is the true meaning of Buddhism, let go of everything, chant and nap, not be entangled by the world, be idle all day long, think about nothing, this is the life that Buddhists should live.

At this time, a voice came to mind and said to himself: "Recite the scriptures today, and tomorrow the auspicious time will fall." When Zhang Fan heard this, he was overjoyed, nodded again and again, and accepted it. Then he was drowsy and chanted the Buddha.

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Fan faintly heard in his heart that someone seemed to be constantly calling him, but he didn't know him, who was Akon? Why do you keep shouting yourself? Ignore him, and tomorrow will be shaved, don't be distracted by other things.

The bell rang, and someone pulled Zhang Fan, "The auspicious time has come, and the new ones are ready to take refuge." Zhang Fan, who was napping in the corner, heard this and hurriedly got up to follow. Kneel down in front of the Buddha statue.

At this time, the big bell seemed to be struck by no one, and it vibrated and sounded, and the layers of sound waves strangely affected Zhang Fan, faintly carrying the sound of chanting and singing.

Zhang Fan's body was flooded with five-colored Buddha light, Zhang Fan's mind suddenly became a little clear, and he felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong. As the chanting voices of the monks around him sounded, the Buddha light on Zhang Fan's body seemed to dissipate hesitantly.

The monk in charge of shaving was already standing in front of Zhang Fan, reciting the scriptures of refuge, and his hair was about to fall out. Zhang Fan's heart tightened, as if there were a lot of things that he couldn't let go, but he couldn't remember them.

"Master, are you ...... How many days can you wait? The disciple doesn't seem to be ready yet! Zhang Fan muttered.

As soon as these words came out, the monk who was in charge of shaving waved his hand, and the monks immediately raised their voices and chanted the scriptures loudly. The big bell also made a constant "bang-bang-" sound. The shock made Zhang Fan dizzy, and his ears were full of Sanskrit singing.

Zhang Fan was deeply ashamed of the retreat just now! He had never seen the traces of fire in the circle of the big bell, as if it was moving, vaguely like a black snake swimming.

The monk in charge of shaving, took a step forward, pressed Zhang Fan's head, and was about to drop the knife......

At this moment, a sharp brake sound sounded outside the hall, and a figure flew in, raised his hand to hold a strange weapon, and spewed tongues of fire at the big bell, which made the big bell "clang" chaotically, and the scorched snake shadow broke away from the bell and pounced on the uninvited guest, but was met head-on by a sudden flame at the door!

"You've let this newcomer go! Our well water does not interfere with river water! You lie to your monk, we have nothing to do with it! If you provoke the uncle, you will burn down your 'Daocheng Temple'! Akon shouted at the bell!

As soon as these words came out, the big snake that had turned into scorched marks hesitated for a moment, retracted back into the big bell, and the bell also stopped abruptly!

Akon stepped forward and pulled Zhang Fan up, dragged him up and walked out. Zhang Fan also muttered: "This benefactor, you and I don't know each other, why did you interrupt the poor monk's ordination ceremony?" ”

"Bastard, you really want to become a monk!" Akon scolded and slapped Zhang Fan in the mouth. Willis also leaned over, and the on-board weapons were all ready to fire, aiming at the big bell.

Zhang Fan was beaten dizzy, but he still didn't let go: "Why did the donor beat me!" We have no grievances, so why should you be troubled by me? "This guy really thinks of himself as a monk.

A petite figure next to him jumped over and hugged Zhang Fan, "Don't hit him, Zhang Fanjun is also confused by monsters, he will get better!" "It's Lori Ninja Dark Sakura.

The little girl turned around and patted Zhang Fan's face again, "Zhang Fanjun, do you still know me?" I'm Dark Sakura! ”

Zhang Fan was confused, looked at the person in front of him in confusion, and said in his mouth: "Men and women don't kiss, you go, I still have to shave!" ”

Dark Sakura was so anxious that tears rolled in her eyes, and she grabbed one of Zhang Fan's hands tightly, for fear that he would run away again.

"It's already a mess?!" Akon rolled his eyes, thought about it, and shouted at Zhang Fan: "Green Wing was killed!" ”

"What?!" Zhang Fan 'groaned' in his heart, grabbed Akon's collar, and shouted, "How did Green Wing be killed!?" Say it! He actually reverted to his original status as a vow-bearer.

"Hehe, I'm going to say I'm dead, I'm afraid you won't wake up, right?" Akon said lazily.

Zhang Fan blushed and let go of his hand, "What's wrong with me?" Dizzy. Where is Greenwing now, and why can't she be reached? ”

When I looked down and saw the dark cherry blossoms, I couldn't help but blush a little, and said perfunctorily: "Oh, the dark cherry blossoms are here too, hehe, they've grown a little taller." Your brother is okay. ”

Seeing him wake up, Sakura snorted and ignored him. I thought it was because when I saw Zhang Fan mentioning Green Wing, he woke up in shock, and I couldn't help but feel jealous.

"You still think of her, didn't she just become a monk? Green Wing is now in Edo Castle, Tokugawa Ieyasu Fuchu, with Yagyu Muneki, very safe. I had already contacted her before I came, and she would be coming over a year ago, and Tokugawa Ieyasu would also come to Kyoto to preside over the New Year's festival. She escorted her all the way. ”

Aken pulled Zhang Fan and walked outside and said, "This is the place where the monster 'Daocheng Temple Bell', although it won't hurt people's lives and is quite gentle, but after a long time, it will affect the heart, let's leave quickly." ”

Akon came out of the temple and told Zhang Fan the origin of this monster. It turned out that when he came, he told Saori Kamo about Zhang Fan's report, and the female onmyoji told Akon that this monster was called 'Daocheng Temple Bell', and it was a monster that specialized in making people monks become monks. And it will make people forget about the past.

Legend has it that a woman named Qing Ji fell in love with a monk named An Zhen and chased after her, but later Qing Ji drowned while chasing An Jin, turned into a big snake and continued to chase.

The monk An Zhen ran to a place called 'Daocheng Temple', got into the bottom of a big bell, and the big snake that Qing Ji turned into entangled the big bell and set himself on fire to death, and the monk An Zhen was also burned to death, and he turned into this monster called 'Daocheng Temple Bell'!
