Kexue Magician

Chapter 199 The Legend of the Five-Storied Pagoda

"What does hosting mean?"

"Why did you suddenly run out to scare people?"

Seeing the disappearance of Danhai host, without the existence of strong resentment emanating body, Mori Kogoro turned from frightened to angry.

I am a famous detective Mori Kogoro. I have seen the bloody scenes of armed fights in the street organized by the Jidao, various murders and strange corpses, but today I was frightened by an old monk's few words. Shame on me!

Moreover, I am a tourist, and I follow the advice not to smoke, and follow the rules, so why should I be angry?
Mori Kogoro stared at Okabe Shigekichi very dissatisfied, and wanted to explain.

Mao Lilan and Conan were also very puzzled.

Shigekichi Okabe, the servant of Huankuan Temple, sighed, and the frown on his forehead deepened. He said with a sad face, "Actually, it's also my fault."

"Seven years ago, I, Shigekichi Okabe, was hired by Danhai. My job was to be responsible for the sanitation of Huankuan Temple. The host said that only pilgrims or tourists who came to burn incense and make wishes should be kept clean. Only then will we be in awe of the sacred Magic Block Temple!"

"I still remember that the Huankuan Temple was full of incense and visitors seven years ago. Although the work at that time was very hard and tiring, I was both honored and happy in my heart, and I was very motivated to clean up... ·”

"But I don't know when, there are fewer and fewer pilgrims and tourists in the Magic Block Temple."

"The host and the monks tried many ways to change, but nothing worked. They also became impatient, and the monks left one after another. I see all kinds of situations, and I am anxious in my heart!"

"Half a year ago, Mr. Hideaki Oda, the president of ODA Tourist Company, came here. At that time, I gave President Oda a detailed introduction to the history and culture of Huankuai Temple as if I were taking you to visit the temple's landscape."

"After the visit, President Oda said that the situation of Huankuai Temple could be improved through the development of tourism. At that time, I thought that if there were more tourists, the temple would become prosperous, so I introduced President Oda to Tanhai as the host. "

"Who knew that President Oda had bad intentions from the very beginning, and even bullied the director of Danhai who didn't understand business operations, and deceived all the rights of the Huankuan Temple. The Magic Block Temple has been transformed into a more popular theme park.”

"Look over there, the good washbasin has been bulldozed!"

"So, the host of Danhai blamed me, thinking that I deceived him, brought in the evil wolf, President Oda, and said that I was one of the chief culprits that led to the destruction of the Magic Block Temple... "

At the end, Shigekichi Okabe, who had a deep affection for the Phantom Block Temple, had red eyes and a face full of despair.

That's it, I get it!

Danmi hated Shigekichi Okabe very much, so he also hated us tourists who were brought in by him.

Therefore, we have suffered this kind of hatred for no reason...
Mori Kogoro, with his hands in his trouser pockets, drooped his eyes, and wanted to complain, but seeing Shigekichi Okabe's miserable appearance, he had to hold his words in his throat for a while, feeling depressed and terrible.

Mao Lilan clenched her fists and said angrily, "There is such a bad person!"

"Don't you think the mayor of Izu City and the governor of Shizuoka Prefecture don't care? This magic block temple has a history of 400 years. It witnessed the rise and fall of the last era of the feudal system. It is a cultural heritage of great historical and cultural value!"

Ran Mori, a second-year high school student, stared at his father, Kogoro Mori.

Mori Kogoro frowned, but said nothing.

Feng Chu calmly said: "City construction and development, and historical and cultural protection are sometimes difficult to coordinate and balance."

"Even the mayor or governor must exercise power in accordance with laws and regulations, and cannot arbitrarily interfere with economic operations such as commercial operations or market development, otherwise the impact may seriously affect all aspects of society."

"The best way now is to hire a lawyer who is familiar with business knowledge to sue Hideaki Oda. As for whether he can win, it depends on how the judge judges."

Feng Chu raised his eyebrows and looked at Mao Lilan.

His meaning is self-evident-what lawyer is more suitable than the undefeated queen of the legal world, Eri?

Mori Kogoro seems to have thought of the same place as Fengchu.

But when he thought that he had been separated from his wife for so many years, Kogoro Mori, who wanted to save face, was not easy to speak, so he also set his sights on Mao Lilan.

Morilan turned to look at Okabe Shigekichi, and said, "Mr. Okabe, does Danhai have any thoughts of suing?"

Shigekichi Okabe shook his head, sighed and said, "Chairman Tankai doesn't understand, but the successor of the Huankuan Temple, Master Haruhai, the son of Chairperson Dankai, has already started preparations, and I heard that he is collecting information and evidence now."

Oh okay······
Mao Lilan immediately felt relieved.

She was also going to say that if she couldn't find a good lawyer, she could ask her mother Fei Yingli to help.

"In the final analysis, it depends on the law!"

"If the old monk said that the gods sent down punishment, then Hideaki Oda would have died long ago..."

Mori Kogoro folded his hands in front of his chest, and his disdainful tone seemed to be still concerned about Dan Hai's scary host.

Okabe Shigekichi looked solemnly, slowly shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily the case!"

"In the early Edo period, after a monk took over the presiding job, he fell in love with a girl at the foot of the mountain. He eloped with the girl in spite of the precepts, and the god sent an eagle to capture him and hang him on the tip of the five-storied pagoda in front of him."

"In the middle of the Edo period, there was an abbot who was addicted to drinking and sex, and did not abide by the rules. He even sold sacred Buddha statues for drinking. Not long after, his body was also found at the top of the five-storied pagoda."

"At the end of the Edo period, a devout monk gradually lost his faith, talking nonsense all day long, saying that gods and Buddhas are fake things to deceive the world, and even threatened to set fire to the magic block temple. In the end, his consequences were the same as before. Two dishonest people alike."

At the end, Okabe Shigeyoshi raised his head high and stared at the tower with awe.

I seemed to be questioning the power of the gods just now, right?
Is it an insult to the gods?
Mori Kogoro's face turned pale, and cold sweat began to break out on his back. It wasn't long before he said what he said just now, and it can be said that he has a deep memory.

Mao Lilan, who kept a respectful distance from non-scientific existences such as gods and ghosts, looked up at the top of the five-storied pagoda, then quickly lowered her head, as if she saw three characters in the story still hanging on it, and couldn't help shaking violently.

Although the sun was shining brightly, the atmosphere became inexplicably dark.

Conan, an atheist, squinted at Mori Kogoro with his eyes squinted. He ran his right hand down his throat, coughed, and was about to say: Everyone must believe in science.

Mao Lilan quickly covered Conan's mouth, she didn't want Conan to try his own way to see if the gods were working.

Do you want to go inside the five-storied pagoda?
Feng Chu frowned. After using the lucky card, he didn't see the magic of the five-storied pagoda for the time being.

Afterwards, Mori Kogoro suggested that he should leave the Magic Block Temple when it was getting late, so Feng Chu had no choice but to suppress the idea of ​​action for the time being.
