"Ryoko, go cook. Go quickly." The middle-aged monk pulled up the woman next to him. Japanese women don't wear kimonos at all times. At this time, this woman was wearing a checkered uniform. "Yes." The woman agreed timidly. Naturally, she didn't mean yes, but Hai. "Qiu Muyu, go and help." Zuo Dengfeng said twice in Chinese and Japanese. Datou understood that Zuo Dengfeng asked him to monitor this woman, and immediately nodded and agreed, following the middle-aged woman to the backyard. The middle-aged monk looked back nervously. Although Datou was a weak dwarf, the giant ax in his hand was Not small. "I said I won't hurt you. I have some questions to ask you. The clearer your answers are, the sooner I can leave." Zuo Dengfeng pointed to the cherry tree on the right side of the yard. There was a stone strip under the cherry tree. bench. Hearing this, the middle-aged monk nodded repeatedly and nervously moved towards the bench. Zuo Dengfeng reached out and motioned for him to sit down, but he waved his hands repeatedly and did not dare to sit down. "Who else is there besides you two in the temple?" Zuo Dengfeng put down the wooden box and took out some water and took a sip. "This temple was passed down to me by my elders. Only my wife and I live here. Please don't hurt her." The middle-aged monk rushed to Zuodengfeng and bowed repeatedly. Zuo Dengfeng nodded when he heard this. Only at this moment did he know that some Japanese temples were passed down from father to son. "How do you live?" In order to prevent the other party from fainting due to excessive tension, Zuo Dengfeng chose a slightly more relaxed topic. "The temple is surrounded by our land. We make a living by selling cemeteries. If you need money, I can give it to you." The middle-aged monk had sweat dripping from his forehead. "I don't want money, I just want to ask you a few questions. You are a Buddhist monk. As far as I know, Buddhism had a fierce conflict with Shinto in the Asuka Period more than 1,500 years ago. Do you know about this? I don't know." Zuo Dengfeng asked. Judging from his appearance, this middle-aged monk is an honest man. Honest people have fewer distracting thoughts. People with fewer distracting thoughts can calmly understand history. "I know, not long after Buddhism was introduced to Japan at that time, Shintoism was very repulsive to us." The middle-aged monk nodded repeatedly, his waist kept bent due to extreme nervousness. "Shintoism had a very powerful protector at that time. This protector was no ordinary person. Wherever he went, it would cause drought. Do you know that there was such a protector?" Zuo Dengfeng asked casually, talking to others. Looking directly into the other person's eyes would increase the other person's psychological pressure, so Zuo Dengfeng just drank water slowly without looking directly at him. "I haven't heard from the elders. If you can wait, I am willing to look up our history books for you. There may be records there." The middle-aged monk pointed to the main hall on the north side. "Thank you for your hard work." Zuo Dengfeng stood up and pointed to the north hall. After hearing this, the middle-aged monk cowardly turned around and walked towards the main hall. Zuo Dengfeng followed behind with a wooden box. The middle-aged monk was afraid that Zuo Dengfeng would attack behind him, so he kept moving forward sideways. Zuo Dengfeng saw this and walked a few steps quickly. Steps ahead of him. This temple has two floors. The building is mainly made of wood. The main building is made of gray wood. It is not like the Chinese temples that are gilded and painted. The windows are also made of wood and have window paper. The door is narrow, only seven feet. The inside of the main hall is also very narrow. It is simple and simple, without the carved beams and paintings of Chinese temples. The north altar is enshrined with a Bodhisattva holding a staff. Judging from its appearance, it should be Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. There is a hanging curtain on the altar, and there are incense burners and other objects in front of the statue. As for the tributes, they are no longer there. It was on the table and had already been swept into the backpack by Song Lin and Yang Zhi. "Zhenren Zuo, here you go." When Song Lin saw Zuo Dengfeng coming in, he immediately stepped forward and handed him an apple. "Go out and check the situation, and eat later." Zuo Dengfeng took the apple and took a bite. Taoist disciples don't believe in Buddha, so eating tribute is not disrespectful. In addition, apples have a strong temptation for people who have been without fresh vegetables for a long time. . "Okay." When Song Lin and Yang Zhi saw Zuo Dengfeng taking the apple, they immediately felt friendly towards him. This is what a good leader should be, and he cannot be separated from the masses. The middle-aged monk had been standing outside the door with his head bowed. He waited until the two of them walked out before entering the room. When he saw the tributes being taken away, he clasped his hands and bowed to the statue, then turned and walked to the right. There is a wooden staircase on the right side near the wall leading to the second floor. The middle-aged monk leads the way and climbs the stairs to the left. The second floor is divided into two parts: east and west. There are two wooden pillars in the middle. There are chessboards and tea sets on the east side. There is a bookshelf on the west side with a large number of books on it. Most of the books have turned yellow, which shows that they are old. There is a wooden floor here. The middle-aged monk took off his shoes and went up. Zuo Dengfeng naturally did not take off his shoes and followed him to the west. The middle-aged monk rummaged for books from the bookshelf, and Zuo Dengfeng stepped forward to help. These books were bundled books, which were somewhat similar to the scrolls of calligraphy and painting.There is a rough chronology on the outside of the first volume. Although Zuo Dengfeng understands Japanese, he does not know the history of Japan. He cannot convert the AD chronology according to Japanese chronology and can only wait for the middle-aged monk to find it. The middle-aged monk quickly found three volumes of ancient books from the bookshelf. The first volume was written "Yong Ming Ji Zhen", and the small print below was "Warring States Edition." Japanese people are used to sitting on the floor. There are no tables and chairs here. Zuo Dengfeng felt very uncomfortable. Out of habit, he raised his hand and moved the chess table to the right. The middle-aged monk was shocked and horrified by the move. Due to time constraints, Zuo Dengfeng read through it on his own, and the middle-aged monk explained what he didn't understand. These three volumes of ancient books record things from the Yongmei period, and Yongming refers to the Yongmei Emperor of Japan, the monarch of the Asuka Era. , the Asuka Period is equivalent to the Sui and Tang Dynasties in China, and was written in the Warring States Period. The Warring States Period in Japan is unrelated to the Warring States Period in China. The Warring States Period in Japan is equivalent to the Ming Dynasty in China. Japanese characters have also changed in different historical periods. Zuo Dengfeng had a hard time reading Japanese ancient books from five to six hundred years ago. Fortunately, most of the ancient books recorded were irrelevant content. They mainly wrote about the development history of Buddhism after it was introduced to Japan. Zuo Dengfeng quickly flipped through one volume, but found nothing. As soon as he opened the second volume, he discovered the problem. After the death of Emperor Yongming, a huge internal strife broke out in the court because of the issue of succession to the throne. Both sides of the internal strife They were the two most powerful families at the time, the "Dalian" Monobe family and the "Minister" Soga family. "Dalian" was the largest court official in Japan at that time, equivalent to the prime minister in China, and "Minister" was the second minister. , both the Monobe clan and the Soga clan are related to the emperor. The Monobe clan supports the emperor's younger brother, and this clan believes in the local Shinto religion. The Soga clan supports the emperor's son, and this clan believes in Buddhism, the war finally ended with the victory of "Minister" Soga Mago, the emperor's brother was killed, and the prince succeeded to the throne. Since then, Buddhism has gained a firm foothold in Japan. Zuo Dengfeng was not interested in Japan's power struggle. He was interested in later generations' records of the final battle. At that time, Suga Mazi's sister was the empress of Japan, so although he was the second-ranked minister, he was not as good as the emperor. The Monobe clan had more cronies in the court. In the war, he teamed up with other ministers to attack the Monobe clan. The Monobe clan's fiefdom at that time was in Shichuan County, Hanoi. The coalition forces of Suga Mazi were defeated three times when they attacked the city. The reason is that there is a "black-faced ghost" accompanying Mononobe, who is invulnerable and invincible. In the end, the Soga clan had no other choice, so they went to Goryeo to invite the eminent monks of Masanori, subdued the ghosts, and built an eight-story pagoda on Black Rock Mountain to suppress them. After the ghosts were removed, the Soga clan eradicated the Mononobe clan. This is the only clue. The third volume of ancient books records some subsequent events. It talks about how Buddhism was accepted by the Japanese ruling class and the ruling class forced people to believe in it. "Where is the Kingdom of Hanoi now?" Zuo Dengfeng asked the middle-aged monk kneeling next to him. Kneeling in Japan is equivalent to sitting in China. It is just a humble sitting posture and does not mean begging for mercy. "Eastern Osaka." The monk replied. "Is the eight-story pagoda in Blackstone Mountain still there?" Zuo Dengfeng asked again. "Black Stone Mountain is also in Osaka, but it is under the jurisdiction of Shintoism. I have never been there. I don't know if there is a pagoda there." The middle-aged monk shook his head and answered. While the two were talking, Songlin Yang Zhi and others went upstairs with plates. The plates were filled with food, including broth, cabbage, and fried meatballs. The staple food was rice. Zuo Dengfeng returned the three volumes of ancient books to the middle-aged monk, cleared the table, and everyone sat around to eat. The middle-aged monk put the ancient books in their original places, and the couple stood beside them tremblingly, not daring to make the slightest sound. "I said I won't kill you." Zuo Dengfeng raised his hand and sent out Xuanyin Qi to freeze the two of them. These two know too much. The best way is to kill them, but they will only eat their food. We can't kill them anymore. If we can't kill them, we can't let the news leak out. "Mu Yu, where is Osaka?" Zuo Dengfeng finished his meal quickly and picked up the half-eaten apple. "To the east and north of here is a very large city." Datou took out the map and looked at it for a moment. "There is Black Rock Mountain in the east of Osaka. That is our destination." Zuo Dengfeng said casually. "Zhenren Zuo, the corpse is in Black Rock Mountain." Song Lin asked while grabbing the rice. "No, Hanba was sealed there back then." Zuo Dengfeng shook his head and said, since there were no clues about the corpse, he could only follow the clues and find Hanba first. "Do you know where Black Rock Mountain is?" Yang Zhi put down her bowl and chopsticks and asked Datou. ¡°I don¡¯t know, my eyesight went dark.¡± Datou was interrupted from eating one after another, so he simply put down his chopsticks. "Don't look at me. Although I can speak Japanese, I have never been to Japan." Zuo Dengfeng saw Yang Zhi looking at him and waved his hand at her. "Then we are all blind." Yang Zhi took out a carrot from her pocket and took a bite. She had not had fresh vegetables and fruits for a long time, and even those who practiced spiritual practice had yellow complexions, dryness and heartburn. "A blind horse is a sure thing, but a blind man can't be mentioned." Datou said with a smile. The four of them are all masters of purple energy. They are not timid even if they go deep alone. Such a team can almost run amok in Japan. "To the east is the urban area. We can no longer hide our whereabouts. Once our whereabouts are exposed, more and more soldiers will pursue us and the resistance will become bigger and bigger." Although Zuo Dengfeng is confident, he is not blindly optimistic. He never takes it lightly. Look at yourself, but never underestimate your opponents. The three of them nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, indicating that they were mentally prepared. The food was swept away in the pine forest, and everyone packed up and left the temple and flew eastward, entering the densely populated urban area Winzer. 5 additional updates.
