Chapter 631 Arrives in Rikono!
Early next morning.
Koyasan is located in the northeastern part of Wakayama Prefecture in Japan!
Two figures stood on a stone peak.
Chiba Yoshiko stood respectfully beside Ye Chen, looked at the surrounding scenery and slowly introduced: "Master, this is Mount Koya!"
Ye Chen stood with his hands behind his hands. Looking far into the distance, he could see mountains surrounded by lush ancient trees, and the terrain looked like a lotus blooming.
He couldn't help but praise: "The scenery is nice, and it's a place worth visiting."
"Master, Koyasan has a history of 1,200 years. It was classified as a World Cultural Heritage by the United Nations more than ten years ago. It can be called one of the three sacred mountains in Japan!"
Yoshiko Chiba talked eloquently: "To be precise, Koyasan is equivalent to one of the two important towns of Buddhism in Japan, because it is the headquarters of Dongmi, a branch of Buddhism in Japan."
"Buddhist shrine?"
Ye Chen couldn't help but look at her.
"good!"
Chiba Yoshiko nodded and said: "Our Japanese Buddhism is divided into Eastern Buddhism and Tang Buddhism. The Eastern Buddhism is the Kongobu Temple created by our Japanese Kobo Master Kukai to ask Emperor Saga to grant the land on Mount Koya."
"The corresponding Tang secret is Mount Hiei in Kyoto City. Mount Hiei was created by the Buddhist master Saicho after he returned to China from the Tendai Sect of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Mount Hiei and Satakano are known as the two major Buddhist towns in Japan."
"And these two important towns uphold the Buddhist teachings, subjugate demons and eliminate demons, save the world and save people, and they are called as power monks!"
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but look at Ye Chen cautiously: "Why does the master want this slave to take you to Mount Koya? Is it possible that the master also believes in Buddhism?"
She was really puzzled. Ye Chen asked her to take him around early in the morning, but ended up being transferred to Li Gaoye. In her opinion, Ye Chen was a master who slaughtered all living beings, which completely conflicted with the Buddhist concept of not killing. .
"Coming to see an old friend of mine."
There was a hint of reminiscence in Ye Chen's eyes.
Rather than saying that Demon Blade Muramasa escaped, it is better to say that he let him go deliberately, because only the three major shikigami know the whereabouts of Night Demon. If they are all killed, the clues will be cut off.
But what puzzled Ye Chen was!
The mark he left on Yao Dao Muramasa disappeared, and there were only two results. One was that someone powerful helped Yao Dao Muramasa to forcibly remove the mark of consciousness left by Yao Dao Muramasa, and Yao Dao Muramasa died.
Ye Chen would rather believe it was the latter.
However, he was certain that the mark of consciousness he left on Demon Sword Muramasa disappeared in Mount Koya.
While he was thinking about it, Chiba Yoshiko became more and more curious.
Looking for an old friend?
Could it be that the owner’s friend became a monk in Mount Koya?
"Let's go!"
Ye Chen raised his feet and walked slowly towards the Jingangfeng Temple in the mountain.
…
More than half an hour later, the two successfully arrived at the temple in the mountains. It was not so much a temple as a small mountain town with countless temples. Looking around, they were densely packed with temples.
Ye Chen stood in front of the largest temple, raised his eyes to look at the two stone tablets in front of him, and wrote: "Koyasan Shingon Sect, with the main mountain Jingangfeng Temple!"
It is written in Chinese characters with sharp and powerful strokes.
"It's strange. Countless people from all over the world come to Mount Koya every day to pay homage to Buddhism. How come there is no one there today."
Chiba Yoshiko looked around and saw that the temples and major courtyards were quiet and silent: "I didn't even see a monk."
"It's simple, because someone is waiting for us!"
A playful smile flashed across Ye Chen's eyes, and then he took a step forward and said calmly: "Ye Nankuang from China passed by your temple, so I came to visit you!"
His voice contained a hint of wonderful artistic conception. When the Chinese character was spoken, Chiba Yoshiko heard it normally. But as soon as the Chinese character came out, it turned into a thunderous sound and exploded in her ears.
Every sound that follows is like thunder.
"puff!"
In the end, even though she covered her ears with both hands, she still felt the roaring in her ears. She couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood, with a look of shock on her face.
"boom!"
The fallen leaves all over the ground danced one after another amidst the sound of thunder, as if the wind was passing by extremely violently, and as if countless locusts were entrenched in the sky.
After the sound of thunder fell, a sound of footsteps slowly came from the end of the stone steps, and then two monks wearing white cassocks, bamboo hats on their heads and holding Zen staffs were seen walking down.
When the leading monk was less than five steps away from Ye Chen, he slowly stopped and saluted: "I have seen Ye Nankuang, the first person in China and the first person in East Asia. The abbot of our temple, King Ming, has been waiting for you for a long time!"
"please!"
They both signaled, then turned and walked away.
Ye Chen followed him leisurely, and the group went up the stone steps, passed through the long corridor, and finally stopped at the door of a slightly solemn hall.
The two monks said: "Your Excellency Ye Nankuang, the abbot is inside. You can go in, but this lady can't do it. It is against the temple rules."
"Just wait for me here!"
Ye Chen glanced at Qianye Yoshiko, pushed open the door of the hall and stepped out. At the same time, the door slowly closed again.
The main hall is about two hundred square meters, with a large gilded pillar standing in each of the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and various birds, beasts, insects, and fish carved on the pillars, and various sacred tables and Buddha statues are placed around it.
Right in front of the main hall stands a Buddha statue that is more than three feet tall. The Buddha statue is solemn, like a Buddha who has mercy on the world.
On the futon under the Buddha statue, there is an old monk with white eyebrows wearing white monk robes.
Almost at the moment when Ye Chen looked at the old man, the white-browed old monk also turned around and said with a smile: "Dear guest, you have come from afar, please take a seat!"
As soon as the voice fell!
A cushion moved without wind and ran straight towards Ye Chen.
After Ye Chen sat down cross-legged, another table floated over, on which was a set of tea sets, and the fragrance of tea was overflowing.
"This is my unique fragrant tea from Koyasan, you may as well try it!"
Ye Chen did not refuse, reached out to pick up the cup of tea, smelled it lightly, and drank it all, smiling: "It is bitter but not astringent, refreshing, it is a good tea!"
"My name is Mingwang, and I am currently the abbot of Jingangfeng Temple in Koyasan!"
The white-browed old monk looked calm and said in very pure Chinese: "I didn't expect that the most popular person in East Asia in recent days would come to my Koyasan!"
Seeing that he said his identity at once, Ye Chen smiled and said: "Monks like you have never lived in the mountains for a long time and have no contact with worldly fireworks. ? How can you pay attention to the current world situation? "
"No, no!"
Ming Wang shook his head slightly, his wise eyes seemed to be able to see through the whole world: "We cultivate the mind, what is the mind? In my opinion, the mind is the world. Since we cultivate the world, why don't we pay attention to the world? Get close to the world?"
"Since you pay attention to the world, you should know what Ye has done recently!"
Ye Chen raised his eyes and looked at him steadily: "Logically speaking, Ye entered your Japan and killed countless people. You should hate and hate me. Why did you invite me in and treat me so affectionately? "
