Chapter 666 [Chapter 4] 89
Let her emotions change with the words he uttered—it is best to make her mess up with a few words, which gives him a sense of leisure and peace of mind that he can control her within his grasp, just like Just holding her in the palm of his hand can prevent her from turning to others again and again, and leaving from his eyes again and again——
So now, has he recovered a little bit to the level of the past?
No matter when he was practicing with the team of other god judges, or when Honmaru was trying to combine with other swords, although he always liked to say "Although I can lose", but when it comes to what he thinks must be mastered. In terms of people or things, he really doesn't want to behave like a mediocre person, and the other party robs him of the initiative in the end.
Such is the practice, such is the battle, such is the trial——
The so-called "get along" is even more so.
He has always felt that the true face of a person is like the waxing and waning of the moon, and when viewed from different angles, one will see a completely different appearance.
However, although she has so many different appearances, he is very interested in learning about her overall appearance.
Thinking with such a leisurely mood, Fu Sangshen, one of the five swords in the world, stepped up the last step, looking up at the well-repaired wooden building in front of him.
Just as she said to Foxnosuke, the female judge came to Chuzun Temple today, and she really came here just to offer incense.
Showcasing the magnificence of the "Pure Land on Earth" in the Heian Dynasty, the golden hall is all inlaid with gold and mother-of-pearl. It is so dazzling that even the Genji army who captured Hiraizumi couldn't help but rush into the golden hall. Frightened by the magnificent and indescribable sight in front of him, he is completely unable to destroy the projection of this pure land of bliss in the world.
But such an almost invincible, miracle-like building born in the hands of the ancients, seems unable to shake the female God-examiner.
Unlike those tourists who were intoxicated and overwhelmed by such a splendid scene, unable to speak or respond, the female appraiser stood quietly in front of this miraculous building, staring at the four walls covered with mother-of-pearl in the golden hall, Finally, he turned his attention to the Buddha statue enshrined in the hall—and the Sumeru altar in the middle.
The remains of the four generations of the Oshu Fujiwara clan who flourished for a time are all in this Sumeru altar.
Before coming here, the female examiner had also read introductory travel notes.Among them, in the section about the Golden Hall of Chuson-ji Temple, it is clearly recorded that the head of Fujiwara Yasuhira is placed in the altar on the right-because it is contained in the coffin, it is also called the "first coffin"-and his The remains of his father, Fujiwara Hidehira.
Therefore, after standing for a while facing the front of Sumeru Altar and symbolically visiting the Buddha statues that are called "appearing in the unique combination of the Golden Hall", the female examiner turned to the right. Take two steps, and stand in front of the Buddha statues on the right side of the Sumeru Altar—the Guanyin Bodhisattva, Chiguotian, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Her gaze slowly descended from the solemn face of the Bodhisattva Dharma, and finally fell on the Sumeru altar with exquisite peacock patterns.
The whole hall is filled with the solemn and quiet smell of agarwood, lingering around Liang Panhuan.
Then, she clasped her hands together and closed her eyes.Just stood there for a while.
If you look at it from the side, the face of the Goddess is quite quiet, her expression remains motionless, and she doesn't seem to be silently reciting Buddhist scriptures or praying for the dead in her heart, but when she opened her eyes again, that There seemed to be a different look on his face suddenly.
Like relief, but also like determination.
After that, from the beginning to the end, the female interrogator and Fu Sangshen, who had not said a word, simply left the Golden Hall.
As soon as they left the atmosphere of the magnificent and magnificent pure land on earth, it seemed that the atmosphere between the two people became a little more active again, and it was not as solemn as before.
Sanri Yuezong followed slowly behind the female God-inspector, and only then did he make a sound, suggesting like a tourist who has just arrived here: "Go back without buying some souvenirs, Mr. Xueye?"
The female Goddess paused slightly at the small souvenir shop, and turned her head to take a look.
The old man who looked after the store greeted her warmly, so the female judge also showed a slight smile of greeting, and chatted with him for a few words.
After learning that they had just visited the Golden Hall, the old man said enthusiastically: "Since I bought additional tickets, how about going to see Zanheng Tibetan together? The purchased tickets can enter these two places at the same time!"
The female examiner showed an embarrassed smile, and was about to decline when she heard a voice behind her.
"Ah, what is that place?"
It was probably the first time in his life that he bought a ticket to enter a scenic spot as an "ordinary person", so Fusangshen, who felt very novel, asked with a smile.
The old man also nodded at him, and introduced enthusiastically: "It is the treasure hall of our temple. It has collected more than 3000 treasures of our temple, including the relics of the Fujiwara family in the past, such as amber rosary beads and knives decorated with mother-of-pearl. ...Ah! And the head coffin that once decorated the heads of the Taiheng Hall—"
The smile on Sanri Yuezong's face remained unchanged, and he quickly turned his head to glance at the female examiner.
... Sure enough, the polite smile on her face froze slightly.
Sanri Yuezong turned back to look at the old man watching the store, and smiled.
"Thank you. But let's watch something else?...Oh~ there should be Buddhist scriptures here? After all, the 'Zhongzun Temple Sutra' was very famous back then...Oh, by the way, it doesn't mean that there are nine buried on the top of Jinji Mountain Is it the 'Sutra Tomb' where the Buddhist scriptures are written?"
He cleverly steered the topic in another direction, and the talkative old man didn't seem to be suspicious.
"Speaking of Buddhist scriptures... If you make an appointment a week in advance, there will be an experience activity of copying the gold-lettered scriptures on blue paper! Well, you must know the gold-lettered scriptures on blue paper, right? It was the first patriarch of the Fujiwara family, Lord Kiyohira, to commemorate the war. The souls of the dead who have unfortunately passed away, and the Buddhist scriptures copied on blue paper with gold and silver ink—”
Sanri Yuezong smiled, and when he was about to speak, he heard the female interrogator beside him suddenly speak.
"Ah, so the lotus pond of the famous 'Chuson-ji Ancient Lotus' should also be near here?"
The female Goddess smiled, with a slight curiosity in her expression, she looked like a real, ignorant young girl who was just visiting this place for the first time.
The old man in charge of the shop knew nothing about what she had experienced, so he just nodded with a smile and said, "Ah, girls like you, many people who visit this place will ask about the planting place of the ancient lotus... It is said that I came here specially to see the magnificent golden hall and the beautiful ancient lotus..."
As he spoke, he leaned halfway from behind the counter, stretched out his arms, pointed out the path and direction for her, and told her the approximate location.
An appropriate and grateful smile appeared on the face of the female appraiser at the right time, and she handed the few things she had selected in her hand—golden incense, bells, and a brochure about the Fujiwara family of Oshu—to the shopkeeper. elder.
"Really..." She smiled, and after paying the money, she seemingly casually picked up the landscape brochure on the top of the pile of souvenirs, and flipped through them casually.
Suddenly, her fingertips froze.
The old man glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Ah, is it the part that introduces the fourth generation of the Fujiwara family... Coincidentally, the seeds of the ancient lotus mentioned just now were found in his first coffin. And It took 50 years of hard work to finally plant it successfully, and it produced very beautiful flowers..."
The female judge simply nodded and did not speak.
Perhaps it is because there are not many tourists visiting today, and the old man is particularly interested in chatting; maybe it is because the attitude of the two young people is very calm, which is just convenient for him to have a conversation with Hiraizumibuki; in short, the old man continued talking happily go down.
"This Mr. Taiheng may have different opinions in other places. Some people say that he is a weak son who ruined the century-old foundation of the Ouha Fujiwara family." But here, everyone almost thinks he is The hero of his hometown... After all, what he has to face is not an ordinary opponent, and it's not like he hasn't tried hard..."
The female interrogator seemed to be listening to the old man's speech very seriously, and she nodded when she heard this, and replied: "...that's true. Taiheng... Gong, he must have worked very hard at the last moment..."
Perhaps it was rare to hear such a positive affirmation from a foreign tourist, the old man's face lit up.
"That's right! That's to say...!" His expression became lighter, and he had a cheerful expression of "Ah, I met an honest and kind girl today", as if he burst out with more enthusiasm for the conversation.
"Oh, what you are looking at is the introduction of Mr. Tai Heng." He stretched his head to look at the page opened by the female interrogator. When he saw the position where her fingertip landed on the page, he could not help He laughed, and said in a gossip tone of chatting about historical celebrities anecdotes:
"Speaking of which, people in ancient times also liked to call themselves many names... like 'Kiso crowned' Yoshinaka, and 'ape-faced crown' Hideyoshi, right?"
He didn't wait for the female interrogator's affirmative answer, so he continued: "Well, so, look, although Lord Taiheng has many aliases, one of them is related to the 'Crown'—"
He pointed to the location where the fingertips of the female interrogator fell.
"An alias of Duke Taiheng is called 'The Crown of the Spring'. ... How about it? My old man thinks it's a pretty name!"
Before he finished speaking, the young woman in front of him seemed to suddenly stiffen for a moment.
However, before he had any reasonable doubts, the young woman in front of him curled up her lips again and smiled, and replied like muddy mud: "Ah...he will be called this alias, probably because he is the Lord of Hiraizumi Bar?"
The old man nodded approvingly, and glanced at the opened page of the booklet again.
"This book is really good, look, look, all the historical sites related to each of the Fujiwara clan leaders are marked in the introduction about them!" He said in a tone that seemed to be selling Amway .
"It's not just here in Hiraizumi. If you are really interested in Lord Taiheng, you see, in Odate City in Akita Prefecture—ah, that is, his final destination—there is a 'Nishiki Shrine' dedicated to him. ’, the location of the shrine is said to be his real final destination. Well, about three kilometers away from Nishiki Shrine is Nishikido Shrine, where Taiheng’s wife Kitanogata is enshrined—”
With a snap, the young girl who had been listening to him talk about ancient times with a smile on her face suddenly closed the booklet.
"Excuse me, I think I should visit the ancient lotus." The young woman had a smile on her face that always struck him as a bit strange.
"Thank you very much for today. Goodbye, then." She nodded slightly towards him, put the booklet into her handbag, and turned to leave.
Leaving behind the old man who hadn't been able to talk about the ancients to his heart's content, along the path pointed out by him, the female judge quickly found the lotus pond planted with ancient lotus.
This time also happens to be summer, the season when lotus flowers are in full bloom.This ancient lotus has large flowers, bright and beautiful colors and slender flower stems, and the whole lotus pond looks really beautiful against the emerald green lotus leaves.
Standing in front of the lotus pond, I don’t know how long it has been, just now on the road with a strange reason of “Since I took the position of the first-stage king and went out with the main hall, I have to complete the same work as him and carry things for the main hall” Mikazuki Zongjin, who insisted on bringing over the handbag containing the souvenirs, spoke suddenly.
"Hmm...here, that's what it says."
He began to read in a recitative tone, lacking in cadence:
"Kawada Jiro considered various reasons such as 'the crime of harboring Taiheng, and the reward that Yoritomo will give after defeating Taiheng'. He put aside the crime of killing his master and decided to attack Taiheng."
"On the night of September 9rd in the old calendar, Kawada Jiro successfully induced Taiheng to make up his mind to commit seppuku by reasoning that 'many retainers have dispersed, Yoritomo is about to attack Hiraizumi, and Ou's power is over'. On September 3th of the same year, Taiheng’s wife Beizhifang, who was chasing after her husband, learned of her husband’s death, and committed suicide in despair and lamentation. At the place where she committed suicide, later people established Nishikido Shrine as a sacrifice..."
Female examiner:? !
She froze for a moment, only to realize that it was Sanri Yuezong who was reading the content introduced in the booklet.
After you are mentally prepared, you will not feel so shocked when you hear these things again.She smiled wryly, and murmured as if talking to herself: "It's seppuku..."
Sanri Yuezong hummed in the affirmative as an affirmative answer.
The female judge nodded slightly, and then looked at the lotus pond in full bloom.
"Although it may not be accurate to say that..." She said suddenly after a long silence.
Sanri Yuezong closed the booklet in his hand and turned to her with a questioning look in his eyes.
"...However, it's nice to know that there are people in history who deeply mourned his death and considered him irreplaceable in the world..."
The female examiner continued to speak calmly.
"Ms. Beizhifang...is a courageous person."
Sanri Yue Zongjin: "Ahahahaha."
The female Goddess didn't seem to care whether she could get comforting words from him, and continued to say calmly to the point of indifference:
"Although... the one buried there is not the Taiheng I know—"
"However, when I came here, I sincerely prayed for him, and heard others mention the historical and real 'Fujiwara Taiheng'..."
"It reminds me of the last day."
"At that time, I was thinking, I saved him today just to make him die a month later."
She suddenly laughed a little self-deprecatingly.
"Looking at his touched face, I feel so despicable..."
Suddenly, rustling sounds came from beside him.
It sounded like a paper bag being placed on the ground.
Immediately, someone stretched out an arm, wrapped it around her shoulders, and hugged her tightly.
Female examiner:? !
She raised her head in surprise, but saw Sanri Yuezong's expression as if nothing had happened.
He didn't look at her, but at the lotus pond. His beautiful side face had indescribably delicate lines, and his eyes were deep.
"Actually, Mr. Xueye is also a very courageous person." He said.
"...not everyone has the courage to sacrifice to preserve the world."
"Whether it's sacrificing your own life, or sacrificing the chance to be with someone you love—"
"it's the same."
