The world is restarting

Chapter 194 The Crossing of the Maze

What is Osamu Dazai going to do again? This is a great question to ask.

When he heard the name "Osamu Dazai" from Sawada Yakou, Edogawa Conan had a feeling of tiredness.Now that the premonition had come true, proving that his detective radar was working as accurately as ever—he wasn't happy at all.

After reviewing the known information so far, the detective silently turned his head and poked a piece of radish into his mouth. After eating it slowly, he asked with empty eyes, "What does he want to do? Fishing?"

Ze Tianya asked the stall owner to pour himself a drink, and nodded.

"Why did you come here?"

"Because there is only one clue."

Seimei can only be sure that Ping Jiangmen will be resurrected and returned a thousand years later, which is the time she is in.According to the future inferred from Mr. Tulong, it should not be far away, but so far there is still no sign of King Xingshi surfacing.She didn't know if he had been awakened, let alone where he was now, the only thing she could be sure of was that King Xingshi knew that she was his enemy.

So Dazai deliberately put her news on the dark net, and threw a stone into the seemingly calm water, letting the splashing waves find the way for him.

Of course, this is just Osamu Dazai's own statement. She herself is very skeptical, thinking that this is just a cover for this person on the surface, and there are actually other plans in the dark—because when she told Dazai about the general, he There was no surprise in the expression on his face.

It's like reading the script in advance.She wouldn't be surprised if someone told her that Dazai had hooked up with the forces who wanted to revive Heira Shomon at this time!

Dazai was heartbroken, saw the first floor, guessed the second floor, and it turned out to be on the third floor, his real intention might be on the fifth floor.

It's hard, it's really hard.She is just a nine-year-old loli, why should she force herself like this.

She only briefly said that someone might come to her and then turned around, "Why are you here, Conan?"

A detective gave a briefer answer than her, "Uncle Maori was entrusted to investigate the theft of the Medicine Buddha of Sanneng Temple, and someone gave him a puzzle."

Hattori Heiji put his hands on his shoulders from behind, and leaned over with a handsome face with a hearty smile, "And I happened to meet him in the case of the killing of members of Chagenji Hotaru, and by the way, the Buddha statue of Sannoji Temple It is very likely that the bandit Genji Hotaru stole it eight years ago."

Sawada Ya bit the bamboo stick, "The Medicine Buddha of Sannoji Temple?"

Conan was taking a bite of the meatball, when he heard this, he glanced at her and asked casually, "Is that what you're looking for?"

Sawada Ya: "?"

"We talked about a lot of information, but you only focused on the Medicine Buddha. In addition to the sandalwood fragrance on your body and the hem of your clothes, you have been to several Buddhist temples today, right? You don't have to rush to worship Buddha, so you are looking for something? Buddha statue?"

Sawada Ya: "..."

What is it like to have a detective friend?

Thank you for the invitation, as if there is a monitor by his side, he already knows what happened without even mentioning the summary of the previous situation.

Oda Sakunosuke was still surprised by the side, "Little brother, you are so amazing."

His next line was, "Kind of like a friend of mine."

Conan: "...I probably know who that friend of yours is. Although he is praising me, I don't know why I don't feel happy at all."

After eating the last ball, the oden in the bowl was empty. She put the bowl back on the table, picked up the juice next to it, and asked very naturally, "Conan, are you going to come with me later?"

"Well, Hattori, please go back later and tell Ran and Uncle Mori that I won't be going back to Sannoji tonight."

Conan turned his head while talking, and saw Hattori Heiji looking down at him with a carrot in his mouth, with that subtle expression on his face that hesitated to speak.

Conan: "...Although I don't know what you are thinking, but things are definitely not what you think."

A certain silver-haired loli who was drinking juice also followed curiously after hearing the words.

Meeting her clear eyes, Hattori Heiji put his expression back, swallowed the radish in two or three mouthfuls, laughed dryly and patted the shoulders of the people around him vigorously, "Hahaha, I didn't think much about Kudo."

Conan who was almost knocked down: Hehe, you think so much that it overflows from your face ==

Mount Hiei Enryaku-ji Temple is located in the northeast of Kyoto City. It is a Buddhist sanctuary in the hearts of ordinary people and a scenic spot with a thousand-year history.

In the eyes of Yin Yang Dao, this thousand-year-old temple has another meaning. It is one of the eyes of the Heian capital formation, guarding the ghost gate outside the capital city.

Saying goodbye to Hattori Heiji, Sawada Ya and Conan were carried by Oda Sakunosuke to Enryakuji Temple overnight.The fireworks festival is approaching, and there are many tourists who come to visit Mt. Hiei.When the car stopped in front of the mountain gate, it happened to meet a group of tourists who were going up the mountain at night.

This group of people seems to be a tourist group, none of them are natives of Kyoto. There is a younger brother who has a very obvious Kyushu accent, and his personality is quite lively and outgoing.He seemed to be very interested in Oda Sakunosuke, who was alone with two children, and he ran over to strike up a conversation on the way up the mountain.

Conan held Sawada Ya with one hand, and followed behind them with blank eyes.

He was a little wary of Oda Sakunosuke at the beginning. Although the red-haired young man's performance was natural at the Kanto cooking stall, he wasn't sure if it was a show, so he tensed his nerves out of habit and thought about it a bit.In the end, he finally found out that he was thinking too much. Oda Sakunosuke is really natural, so approachable that he can chat with a passerby about raising children.

Such a person is actually a friend of that Dazai Osamu.

Turning his head to glance at the little loli beside him who is also naturally cute when he is very dumb, the detective suddenly realized, so the guy with more eyes than the sand in the hourglass actually likes this type that complements him ?

The road up the mountain was not too long. When we arrived at Enli Temple, Conan looked at Odasaku and the Kyushu-accent brother exchanging contact information at the gate of the temple with a delicate expression. The two actually chatted happily. .

Then they separated from the tour group, and Enryakuji Temple sent a master to pick them up, and took them along another path where tourists stopped at the gate.

The voice of tourists curiously asking "Can't we go there?" was gradually left behind, and the further they walked in, they could hear the faint sound of chanting sutras coming from the night.

The moonlight was thin, and the stone cages on both sides of the road gave off a hazy light to illuminate the road ahead. I don’t know if it was affected by the quiet atmosphere in the Buddhist temple, and even the chirping of cicadas disappeared in the grass on both sides.

Ze Tianya walked forward behind the master, and suddenly heard a soft murmur from the people around him.

"...Fudo Mingwang Curse?"

She turned her head, and in the dim light, the eyebrows of the detective beside her twitched inconspicuously.

"I remember that the Fudo Mingwang Curse is to suppress demons and exorcise evil... Is there something sealed in the depths of Enli Temple?"

His gaze seemed to sweep across the darkness not far away, and his clear voice became a little deeper, "There are onmyoji patrolling the periphery, and something big is going to happen in the capital?"

"It has happened."

A group of people passed through layers of defenses in the dark, and came to a brightly lit hall, and the person who brought them stopped outside the hall.

The light sandalwood fragrance and the light diffused together, and Conan stood in front of the hall door and looked around thoughtfully.According to his observations along the way, this Buddhist hall seems to be in the very center of a square, and eight monk rooms were built around the Buddhist hall in the direction of the eight trigrams. through.

The rhythmic knocking sound of the wooden fish and the sound of chanting scriptures surrounded the whole hall. Even people without spiritual power standing here can feel a kind of indescribable holiness and solemnity, as if there is an invisible Buddha Dharma. suppressed here.

"Let's go." Sawada Ya reached out and pushed the door.

"It seems to be very important here," Oda Saku looked up at the Buddha statue under the eaves, "I haven't resigned from the gangsters yet, so let's stay outside first."

Sawada Ya nodded without forcing him.After saluting to the master who was guarding the door, she led Conan across the threshold and walked in.

The entrance is a long narrow road, and on both sides of the road are statues of arhats in different postures.

She seemed to be very familiar with this place, and walked ahead to lead the way.Conan followed her, glanced at the statues of Arhats on both sides, and counted casually, while listening to the little loli explaining the real purpose of the trip to him, "Conan, do you know Ping Jiangmen?"

"The 'new emperor' who started the rebellion during the Heian-kyo period? I remember that he seems to be one of the four great wraiths."

"Well, I went to Heianjing some time ago..."

As Sawada Ya walked forward, he told his friends what happened in Heian-kyo.When she finished speaking, she finally noticed that the footsteps behind her had stopped at some point. She looked back suspiciously and saw the black-haired boy standing there looking at her.

I don't know if the story is too fantastical, but his expression is a bit complicated and subtle.

Ze Tianya tilted her head in a daze, saw him sigh, and walked over with a feeling of helplessness and headache, "Don't tell others about this kind of thing casually."

"?"

"If someone with ulterior motives finds out about you, it will be very dangerous." He seemed to frown deeper than when he knew that something happened in Kyoto just now, and then he was silent for a few seconds under the ignorant eyes of little loli.

"Conan?" Zetian Ya stretched out his hand and pinched his face in a daze.

Feeling powerless and giving up, the detective said in a step-back tone, "Forget it, it's nothing, I'll pay attention."

"Oh." The silver-haired little loli nodded half-understanding.

At this time, they had already turned a corner and reached the intersection in the center of the hall.The lights in front of the Buddha statue caught her eyes, she was reminded to turn her attention back to the business, and motioned Conan to look at the Buddha statue in front of her.

The limbs and head of Ping Jiangmen were separated and suppressed in five special places with the Tibetan statue, while the internal organs of the body were taken out separately and sealed in the Buddha statue, and placed in the five famous temples where monks chanted scriptures day and night to guard them.

"But because so much time has passed, many of the guardians of the Buddha statue have lost their inheritance, so the Buddha statue that sealed the five internal organs of the general gate has gradually disappeared, and it is no longer in its original position."

"So that's why you found so many Buddhist temples today?"

With his hands in his pockets, Conan stood thoughtfully in front of the statue of Dainichi Tathagata in the center, looking up.The Buddha's benevolent face is hidden in the dim light of the roof, and after a long time of looking at it, there is actually a kind of gloomy illusion.

He turned around and glanced at the Arhat statues around him again, "The reason why the swastika was built in this Arhat Hall is to suppress the Buddha statues inside?"

Sawada Ya nodded first, then looked at him suspiciously.

A detective explained casually, "I counted it. The two sides of the Arhat hall with the swastika sign add up to sixteen walls of the same length. There are 31 Arhat statues on one side of the road we just walked in, plus four more. The ones placed in the corner happened to be five hundred Arhats, so I guessed that this Arhat hall was built in the shape of a swastika.”

Little Lolita silently did the multiplication and division in her mind, feeling a little dizzy, then silently threw it aside, nodding solemnly with an expression of understanding.

"Buddha statues are placed according to the five elements?" Conan seemed to be interested in this, and continued to ask.

She is more familiar with this question, "Yes."

The five internal organs of Ping Jiangmen are sealed in the Buddha statue, but in the theory of yin and yang, the five internal organs of the human body have corresponding attributes.The lungs belong to metal, the liver to wood, the heart to fire, the spleen to earth, and the kidneys to water. The five elements restrain each other and have corresponding directions.

After Conan listened to her explanation and walked around, he found that there were only four Buddha statues standing inside, and the position directly south was empty.He quickly calculated in his mind, the south belongs to water, water overcomes fire, so the seal that has not been found yet is - the heart.

He let out a long breath, "So the missing Medicine Buddha from Shanneng Temple is likely to be one of the sealed objects?"

"Yuan Ye has searched all the Buddhist temples in Kyoto." Sawada Ya said.

She wasn't alone in this matter, the whole Tuyumen's house was in motion.Thousands of years have changed a lot, with long periods of time, wars, and Oda Nobunaga who burned temples and Buddhas.

However, Saburo is worthy of being her "father", he burned Yanli Temple, and unexpectedly kept all five key Buddha statues for her.It is a miracle to be able to find the four now. The only missing one is probably the Medicine Buddha enshrined in Sanneng Temple that was stolen by Genji Hotaru eight years ago.

"I see." Conan nodded slightly. Although he didn't say it clearly, his tone was calm and calm, "Leave this to me", "So you are going to act with me next?"

"Yes, it's fine if there are other people guarding here..."

The two of them were halfway through their conversation when they were interrupted by Conan's cell phone ringing suddenly.He connected in doubt, but before he could speak, Hattori Heiji's hurried voice came out of the speaker, "Kudou, a murder case happened at the izakaya, and the deceased seems to be a member of Genji Hotaru."
