"So the temple is a huge cemetery?"

Walking on the long approach road between the towering ancient trees, it is no more than two meters wide, and it is surrounded by giant sequoias, many of which already require four or five people to surround them.

The stone-paved approach winds like a sheep's intestine between the giant sequoias, and there are two stone lanterns every 10 meters above the approach, and the slight swaying of the fire makes this path deep in the mountains a little more popular.

Giant sequoias, stone paths, strange rocks, and moss make up the scene in front of you, but these are not the main ones.

The most eye-catching thing on the stone path of Okunoin is the tombstones densely arranged on both sides of the stone path, between the vines, and under the moss.

These stone tablets of various shapes are inscribed with names, and they are closely arranged and uneven, and they continue to the depths of the cedar forest, only to be obscured by the fog and cannot be seen.

There are as many as 260,000 graves on both sides of this stone road that is about two kilometers long, and there are more than 10,000 cemeteries in the average length range of 100 meters.

"It's the largest cemetery in Japan and the world, and it's arguably the best part of Koyasan and the source of people's faith. There was a kind of reverence in Izumi Sakurai's voice, and she was introducing the religious spirit of the Japanese people to the sacred master in front of her, who did not know where to go.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi family, Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kennobu, Oda Nobunaga, Akechi Mitsuhide, Ishida Mitsunari, Satsuma Shimazu family, Date Masamune, Maeda Toshinaga, Tokugawa Chihime... Generations of emperors, pro-luan saints, and the Venerable Master... This is not only a so-called half of Japanese history, but also almost all the Japanese historical celebrities that Lu Xihua has heard of, of course, limited to the Sengoku characters in the two games "Nobunaga's Ambition" and "Taiko Rishiden".

As Lu Xihua walked step by step, he felt more and more that this place had a deep meaning, and he could almost conclude that this was most likely the handiwork of Kong Xuan, not the power of the man from the empty sea.

So what does this great venerable want to do? He actually wiped out almost all the bones of famous people in Japan for thousands of years, and in such a blatant way, in the end, he was actually loved by the whole Japanese people instead of being suspicious, and Japan is indeed a strange country.

In addition, what is more interesting than the stele itself is the large number of inscriptions and epitaphs on the stele.

For example, there are the Ming Dynasty Shimazu family for the Korean War of the Ming army erected the offering tablet, the British in the 19th century copy of the Chang'an stele forest of the Great Qin Jingjiao (Christian) popular Chinese tablet, the ancient Japanese poet Basho sentence tablet and a large number of modern companies and individuals of the tomb and family offering tower, the style is full of patterns, the inscription is rich and colorful, if you look at one by one carefully, I am afraid that how long the time is not enough.

It's a little interesting, the corners of Lu Xihua's mouth can't help but curl, this great venerable figure is not small, "Are they all cemeteries of celebrities and big enterprises? Are there any cemeteries of ordinary people or anonymous people?"

Izumi Sakurai nodded, "Yes, that's called Wuyuanzuka, it should be a little bit ahead, I remember it was introduced on the TV show." ”

The two of them walked to a meandering place, and sure enough, a huge purpose appeared on the left, which was very eye-catching.

"This is the Rim Tsuka, it's the first time I've seen it, it's really shocking~" Sakurai Izumi said in a low voice, and the two stopped here.

As the name suggests, the mound is a mound. Of course, the mounds are large and small, and the imperial mound is the largest, and some of them directly hollow out a mountain and bury themselves in it. The mound in front of Lu Xihua is not small, with a radius of hundreds of square meters, and a nine-meter-high stone mountain is piled up by large and small Jizo stone statues of different shapes.

If a Jizo statue represents an anonymous person, then at least 50,000 or 60,000 nameless people are buried here and enshrined in Koyasan.

"In Japan, there is a way to die without a cause, and no one asks about it before you die, and no one worships you after you die, and this is death without a cause. What is displayed here are some barren bones that have died nearby, so it is called Wuyuanzuka. Izumi Sakurai explained.

"The so-called relationship is the relationship. Blood relations, friendship relationships, employment relationships, homeland relations... These 'ties' that once sustained interpersonal relationships are slowly being lost due to the rapid development of Japanese society. Everyone, especially the elderly, is beginning to become an island society, and such a society is called a 'no-chance society', in which someone dies and no one cares about it. ”

"In Japan, unidentified deceased persons are treated as 'travel deaths'. Their messages would be published in state-run newspapers, and if no one picked them up, their ashes would be buried in a cemetery, leaving him with a few lines of life's recount. ”

Lu Xihua nodded, he had the experience of later generations, so he naturally understood what kind of situation this was, and later generations of Huaxia also had this kind of problem, and said, "Due to the development of society, the form of a small family composed of husband and wife or a family of three or four has rapidly replaced the big family and become the mainstream of society. There are more and more cases of parents living separately from adult children, and the scene of four generations living together is almost extinct in society. After retirement, many elderly people have no relatives or friends, and can only live in a socially thin environment for a long time, and finally die alone at home, no one cares. ”

Sakurai Izumi was a little surprised, surprised that Master Lu could quickly understand the truth of social problems, but she had watched the documentary in Huaxia, where there were still generations of young and old people living together in a compound, getting along day and night, and there was no such isolated island phenomenon of Japanese old people.

Now this phenomenon is developing very rapidly, due to the increase in the divorce rate, the scope has expanded from the elderly to the middle-aged, and even a few young people do not work, do not marry, and stay at home all day long.

The lifetime unmarried rate of the Japanese population has risen to 6% this year, but she did not know that in 30 years the number will reach a terrifying 20%, that is, one in five Japanese people will never marry.

Lu Xihua knew such details because he had also encountered similar things. During the trial, he grew up in an orphanage, and a canteen helper who had been taking good care of himself didn't come to work for a week, and no one in the hospital cared, but he found a new person to take his place.

Lu Xihua clearly remembered that the uncle, who looked very kind, always quietly scooped an extra spoonful of meat for himself, then covered it with vegetarian vegetables, and said with a smile, "The young man can eat more to grow stronger, and only then can he have the strength to read." Only by going to a good school can you change your destiny, no one wants to adopt, and men have to rely on themselves. ”

Out of concern for the uncle, after trying to get the uncle's address, Lu Xihua finally climbed over the wall and walked out of the orphanage on a rainy night a few days later to find the uncle.

The uncle died, alone in the rental house, sitting on the sofa in front of the TV, closing his eyes, and the body had already stinked. The police came and concluded that it was a concurrent emergency caused by diabetes.

The police's later investigation made Lu Xihua even more heartbroken, the uncle's parents had already passed away, the house in his hometown had disappeared because of urban renovation, and his classmates were listed as 'unknown news', no one knew that he had died, and no one cared, at most he mentioned it casually during the chat, "That one is gone." ”

His parents died, his household registration was cancelled, no one knew any news about his uncle's relatives, and none of his classmates were willing to claim the ashes.

The consequence of the information society is that it is more convenient for strangers who do not know each other on the surface, but in fact, the distance between people is even greater. This is not normal, people are busy with work and neglect communication, and spend their whole lives on education, medical care, housing, and now they have added the issue of pension.

People are ignorant all day long, repeating the same rhythm and pressure of life over and over again, with no hope, no passion, like a pool of stagnant water, lacking vitality, and it is time to solve it.

When Lu Xihua thought of this, he felt a little sad, and couldn't help but recite the Jizo Sutra in his mouth in front of the undestined mound.

Every time Lu Xihua read a word, a mysterious inscription appeared in the air, and as soon as the inscription appeared, it moved with the sound, and a shock suddenly stimulated, and for a while, the entire Aozhiyuan immediately shook.
