Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 109 Yuanjing Temple

However, it was raining heavily outside, and Nozomi Arakawa was not sure if he should start now.

Even if you want to leave, you have to find a reasonable reason, otherwise it will be troublesome when the maids find him missing later.

"But it's really not suitable to go out in such heavy rain."

Arakawa flicked his mobile phone. It was reported that areas near Tokyo, such as Chiba, Saitama, Yamanashi, and Yokohama, had landslides due to the heavy rain. Reporters from various media were also interviewing the Meteorological Bureau about the two Unusual weather phenomena of the day...

Nozomi Arakawa thought about it, and decided to postpone the time until after twelve noon, that is, after lunch.

The three girls Qiu Xue, Qiu Yue and Qiu Ye all have the habit of taking a nap, and Nozomi Arakawa has figured out their "habits" long ago.

The maid twins usually sleep for about an hour. When they wake up and do not need to clean, they usually make tea in the living room and play there all afternoon.Qiu Xue's sleep time is relatively long, roughly between one hour and two hours.He was not sure whether Qiu Xue also followed this standard in school, but at least Qiu Xue strictly followed this schedule at Qianyue's house.On rest days, after waking up, she usually reads a book, plays the piano and violin, and sometimes goes to the studio to paint. If she has an appointment, she will go shopping with her classmates. In the eyes of outsiders, she is completely An elegant young lady.

There were more than two hours before lunch, Nozomi Arakawa completely gave up the idea of ​​reading manga, took out the wedge pill and began to practice sword skills.

The sword skills he practiced were very simple, not various powerful skills, but the two most basic movements of chopping and slashing.

Although there are only two basic movements, basically all moves are derived from them.

If you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach a thousand miles. If you don't accumulate small currents, you can't make a sea.

A solid foundation is the most important thing. If a tall building has an unstable foundation, how can it be expected to be safe when an earthquake strikes?
This time it's not a workout, but a warm-up.The body must be kept in a hyperactive state so that the strength can be fully exerted.Just like a car in winter, the engine must be warmed up before starting.

Although it is to investigate the cause, who can guarantee that there will be no sudden situation?
It's always good to be cautious.

Arakawa sweated profusely.

In the forest in the west of Tokyo, Asano and Ya were standing under the eaves of the temple, watching the torrential rain.

Pieces of raindrops flowed down from the roof like a waterfall. The old wood was slightly rotten. Walking in the aisle, the wooden floor would make creaking sounds. The walls and fences from the outer palace to the inner palace seemed to be Aging, the air is filled with the fragrance of sandalwood.

This temple has been around for a long time, but it was very famous before the Edo period, and its name is Yuanjing Temple.

But although it is not as popular as it used to be, as a "historical site"-level temple that has been handed down from the Edo period or even longer, the popularity here is quite good, and people come to worship Buddha almost every day.

The old abbot is very shrewd. Even if the government pays for the maintenance of the temple, he will deliberately "make it old" when maintaining the temple. It looks more aged.

In fact, many things in the temple have been renovated, including the squeaky floor and the outer walls and fences.Although they look very old, but this is the effect deliberately created by the host, what they want is old!Ancient for tourists to see!
"Ancient" has always given people a sense of awe since ancient times.

When tourists come to the mountains, push aside the green leaves and bushes in the dense forest, and see the ancient temples hidden in the mountains covered with leaves and vines, awe will arise spontaneously, as if sincerely to the Buddha, It also seems that the state of mind is as calm as still water, as if I have heard the enlightenment of the real Buddha.

This is like the meditation and asceticism that Sakyamuni learned could not solve the problem. He left home to seek the solution, and when he walked to the ancient river—Niran Chan River, he saw this river that bred countless lives and wisdom. The heart spontaneously arises.

The real Buddha told him at this time, "My life is over, the holy life has been established, what I have done has been done, and there will be no future." Shakyamuni suddenly realized that he founded Buddhism, corrected the deviation of the civilization of the times, and maintained the Buddha Li's class interests made him a saint of the Sakya clan.

Besides, many tourists come here for the words "long history" of Yuanjing Temple, and what they want is the old but sacred atmosphere.When people came to the temple, they found that the neon lights outside your place were brightly lit, the walls that should have been old were painted pure white, the glass of the windows was bright, the two large wooden stakes at the door were painted bright red, and an anti-theft door was installed by the way... Impressive mood immediately It's gone, this will make the tourist think that he has come to a villa in the suburbs.

Therefore, the practice of hosting has allowed Yuanjing Temple to have a steady stream of income. People who have visited Yuanjing Temple say that their souls have been cleansed in front of the Buddha's statue.

Of course, this is not the role that "ancient" can play, but a barrier, a barrier that can make people calm down.

"Kazumi, it's raining very hard. Don't go out at this time, right?" The old monk is the abbot of this temple. He walked up to behind Kazumi holding a tea cup and said, "O, fruit milk, would you like a sip?"

"Forget it, grandpa, if it wasn't for the daughter of Wu Yi's family, you would definitely not have come back last night, right?" He Mi didn't look back, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, with the corners of his eyes drooping slightly, looking like a melancholy young man.

"Alas~" the old monk sighed, "I really just wandered outside, who knew that the bunny girl was too strong, I couldn't beat her when I was too old, and I was forcibly dragged into the shop by her... He also wanted to persuade me to buy champagne. I wanted to leave immediately, but unexpectedly it rained heavily outside. If the daughter of Wu Yi's family hadn't come to pick me up, I might not be able to go back..."

"Grandpa, can you please clear up the smell of alcohol on your body when you say this?" He Mi was speechless, "And you are old, can you sit a bunny girl on each leg? You are not afraid of being crushed ... What are people doing?"

"Ahem, grandson, don't talk nonsense!" The old monk looked embarrassed.

"Miss Wuyi has already told me. According to her, she has been observing you for a long time and saw you taking away a group of gangsters with the Bobosha submachine gun I gave you."

The old monk blushed, and then became angry, with a look of grief and indifference: "That old Wu Yi fan, he didn't teach Yizhi all day long, Yizhi is a girl, and later developed the habit of peeping But what to do!!"

"So... Grandpa doesn't deny Miss Wu Yi's statement, right?" He Mi squinted at the old monk.
