Becoming A Monk In Tokyo

Chapter 42: There used to be a temple

   A long time ago, there was a temple named Lingming, inherited from the Zen Buddhism.

   Similar to some temples in Japan, Reiming Temple is a family heritage temple. The surname is passed down from a Tang monk named Shiraishi in the Nara period.

   It's the Showa era.

   Reiming Temple has become Tokyo's premier Buddhist temple!

  The Meiji Shrine, which has become larger and larger soon after its construction, complements each other, each occupying half of the Yoyogi Forest.

   At that time, the Lingming Temple was extremely strong, and there were countless great monks in the temple.

  The old abbot...

   To be precise, Shiraishi Tetsu was born in this environment.

   When he was young, as the youngest son of the abbot of the temple, he was very much loved since birth.

   His three elder brothers are all monks, and they take care of him a lot.

   The eldest brother's dharma name can reach the sky, and has the power to reach the sky. At only twenty years old, his magic power is no less than that of some forty or fifty-year-old monks in the temple, and he will inherit his father's mantle in the future.

   The second elder brother is psychic, and he is born with the eyes of yin and yang, which can be seen as spiritual things. At only twenty years old, he showed no less than his eldest brother's talent, in addition to spirits and demons.

   The name of the third brother is through Zen, and he is born with Zen mind. I quickly understood the interpretation of the scriptures. I read the scriptures and classics at a young age, and I created a multi-modal Zen method...

   Therefore, the newborn Shiraishi Tetsu has attracted much attention from the moment he was born.

   He also lived up to expectations.

   was only four years old and showed the potential of a child prodigy, Zen mind far surpasses the three brothers...

   was only eight years old, and he finished his secondary school curriculum by himself and started to learn Buddhist classics.

  If this goes on...

   must be Long Aotian's template.

   It's a pity that everything changed overnight.

   The second brother, for some reason, fell into the demon way and became a monster.

  He killed his father, Master Puzhi, the abbot of Lingming Temple, and removed his life and soul, making it into a soul wash.

   put it into the body of the third brother who was occupied by anger and hatred.

   Two strong monsters are born.

   They are incompatible with each other at the same time.

   slaughtered and burned Lingming Temple.

   makes the life of Tokyo become charcoal.

   Shiraishi Tetsu was rescued by his elder brother and placed in Meiji Shrine, where he entrusted the priests to protect him.

   Then, the eldest brother went to stop the two brothers who had entered the demon alone.

   never came back.

   decades later.

   Lingming Temple was once flourishing.

   There is only one hut, a small temple, and an old monk.

   Those pasts also fade away as people age, and are buried in the dust of history.

   Xinlingming Temple.

  The old monk sat in front of the Buddha and told stories to the little monk.

   "Abbot, your second brother who fell into the demon way...My second uncle, is still alive now?"

   After listening to the old abbot, Shiraishi Xiu couldn't help but ask.

   Bai Shixiu did not ask, the Sanshishu who was transformed by the Soul Washing Orb.

   Since the old abbot’s father’s soul washing bead is now in this jade box.

   Obviously, San Shishu has been relieved.

   As for the second master...

   Soul Washing Pearl is back out of the arena!

   Obviously, this story has to be drawn by myself!

   The only surviving fourth brother is already old, and the young monk he adopted has returned to the world and will supersede the second brother who fell into the demon way...

   Is this story not classic enough?

"died."

   The old abbot calmly said.

  "His sins are so monstrous that he has caused such a storm in Tokyo, how could he be alive.

   "The two ghosts and gods of Meiji Jingu have taken action. I watched them suppress psychic and meditation, and liberated the two brothers who fell into the demon way.

   "Father's soul washing beads were returned to me by them.

  "In order to thank the two ghosts and gods for their help, and for sheltering the last trace of blood in Lingming Temple-that is, my kindness.

  "Half of the land belonging to Reiming Temple, I only left these small land, all of which were dedicated to Meiji Shrine.

   "In addition, the sins committed by the two brothers back then and the losses caused were all borne by me, the only survivor...In terms of money, it would be about 100 billion yen.

   "Too much, I made a whole life, only barely paid off.

   "However, what happened back then is finally over.

"Now it is your turn."

This……

   The old abbot revealed too much information.

   Incarnate into a demon, slaughter the Lingming Temple, pull away the human soul, and create the evil spirit of the soul washing pearl...

   died so easily.

   This result is quite reasonable.

   psychic and meditation are just monsters degenerated by young monks, no matter how strong they are, they are only at the level of a monster king.

   The two ghosts of Meiji Jingu come out!

  Naturally, they can't even have a chance to escape.

   Besides...

  The question that has plagued Shiraishihide for a long time has finally been answered.

   Why is Lingming Temple, which was so awkward in the past, only a square inch of land, so dilapidated?

   One is that the temple was burned down, the monks were wiped out, and the land was enshrined in Meiji Shrine.

  Second is the only remaining old abbot, who was still very young.

  It is impossible to rebuild the temple and attract believers...

   also shoulders a huge debt of 100 billion yen!

   He can only study hard, practice, enrich himself, try his best to repay this debt, and spend some free time to rebuild the temple little by little.

   In the end, just repaying the debt, it took the old abbot's life.

   He has been unable to restore the former glory of Lingming Temple.

   can only put this expectation on Shiraishixiu.

   For a while, Shiraishixiu felt that his shoulders were heavy.

   Compared to the great old abbot!

   I am really a little monk who is useless.

   has nothing to do with the spirit.

  100 billion yen!

   Shiraishihide has only earned more than 50 million yen so far.

   If this 100 billion yen debt falls on him...

   I’m afraid I may not be able to repay half in a lifetime.

   However, the problem came back.

   "Abbot, since the second uncle is dead, where did the soul wash beads I saw come from?" Bai Shixiu was a little confused.

"do not know."

   The old abbot said calmly.

   "I was only eight years old, how can I know this?"

  Aren’t you a child prodigy...

   Bai Shixiu spit out and asked again.

   "Then, why did Uncle Second Master degenerate into a monster? It takes more and more negative emotions to transform into a monster. In normal life, it should be manifested. I don't know."

  The old abbot continued.

   "I was only eight years old, how can I understand this?"

   "……"

   Okay, Shiraishi Xiu really thinks too much.

   The old abbot was only eight years old and was treated like a child prodigy...

  What is a child prodigy?

   From morning till night, apart from studying, studying is a child who has high hopes.

   No child prodigy can escape this fate.

   I’m afraid, the most puzzled and most perplexed about what happened back then.

   is the old abbot himself.

   Estimate when everything happened.

   He was still studying in the room, and he was dragged by his eldest brother to Meiji Shrine...

   In a blink of an eye again, Lingming Temple was gone.

   The old abbot told Bai Shixiu this, just to let Bai Shixiu understand the cause and effect of the soul washing beads.

   let him understand that this is the sin made by the previous generation of Lingming Temple.

  Since Bai Shixiu is the successor of Lingming Temple, then obviously-this thing belongs to him.

   At the same time, it is also to answer Shiraishixiu's perennial doubts.

   Although...

   After answering the questions, Shiraishixiu has more questions.

  The time to study is up.

   Shiraishixiu temporarily resisted her doubts.

   There are some problems that I can't figure out through hard thinking.

   Instead of wasting time on unnecessary thinking.

   It is better to study hard and practice hard.

   First study out the physical exercises.

   Let's study the principle and structure of the Soul Washing Orb, why humans are transformed into monsters, and whether this transformation is reversible.

   step by step walked over.

   Sooner or later, I will see the Tathagata.
