Chapter 249 Compassionate Monk or Violent Monk?
After destroying Rinnoji Temple twice, Pinggong Qianye didn't want to take action again tonight. He believed that they would be more anxious than himself.
He was waiting for two days of rest. At that time, he should find time to visit the Chakravartin Temple and catch the false Chakravartin who coveted the Buddhist girl.
Due to the recent occurrence of monk killing cases, fewer monks have come to observe the vicinity of Weilian Ancient Temple.
The police investigation did not yield any results, but the great monk Feng Lei secretly passed on a new message.
It is said that there were several masterminds behind the killing of the monk, and the murderer who killed the monk on the banks of the Arakawa River that day was one of the masterminds.
It is also said that one of the masterminds may be the abbot of a temple.
Pinggong Qianye asked Ruyi to handle the news.
He was busy with classes on weekdays, so when he returned to the temple, he would reduce his personal practice time and specifically come to guide the practice of Takeda Saburo and others.
Monk Mingbai was recalled to Shitennoji Temple because of the incidents of killing monks and Buddhist girls.
As a Buddhist, he is basically the next abbot of Shitennoji Temple, and it is not suitable for him to always be in public.
On Friday, after finishing his classes, Chiye Hiramiya ate the bread he had not finished at lunch and headed to the meeting room of the Spiritual Society, thinking about going to Rinnoji tonight.
He walked slowly today, and when he arrived at the meeting room, there were four other members present besides Horii Suzune and Kazama Yumeko.
"A supernatural incident has occurred recently. To be more precise, it is a campus ghost story."
Seeing Chiya Hiramiya coming, Horii Suzune asked the member who discovered this campus ghost story to tell it to Chiya Hiramiya again.
This strange story is very simple. At midnight, the sound of piano can occasionally be heard from the music classroom. It is Beethoven's "To Elise".
When the night patrolman went to check, he looked inside through the window illuminated by the moonlight, but did not see the person playing the piano.
But in the music classroom, there was an open piano, the keys on it were turned automatically, and melodious piano sounds came out from it.
The night patrol security guard was so frightened that he left the corridor outside the music classroom. After he went back, he told other night patrol guards about this incident, and a total of four night patrol guards went there together.
But in the end, no piano sound was heard, the door of the music classroom was tightly locked, and looking in from the window, the open piano could not be seen.
Not to mention hearing the sound of an unplayed piano.
Originally they thought that the night patrol security guard was just trying to scare people.
But just last night, a night patrol security guard passed by the corridor outside the music classroom and actually heard the sound of a piano.
He moved closer out of curiosity and looked into the music classroom through the window.
The lid of a piano in the southwest was opened, and the keys on it seemed to be played rhythmically by an invisible giant hand, up and down.
However, no matter how he looked, he could not see any human figure.
Faintly, he also heard a sigh mixed in with the sound of the piano.
The night patrol security guard was so frightened that he left in a hurry and reported his discovery to the higher authorities.
"The reason I know this campus legend is because the second night patrol security guard who discovered the piano sound at midnight was one of my uncles."
"He came home early last night and was very scared. He drank a little wine with my father and took advantage of the alcohol to tell this campus weird talk."
"I heard about it from my father this morning. He told me that I must return home before sunset after school."
Midnight piano music?
Just by listening to the narration of this member of the supernatural club, Chiya Hiramiya roughly understood the degree of danger of this campus ghost story.
He looked at Horii Suzune, "Suzune-san, are you interested in solving this campus legend?"
"I?"
Horii Suzune blinked, a little surprised by Hiramiya Chiya's suggestion.
"Well, just consider it as gaining some experience."
“Can I fix that?”
"can."
Hiramiya Chiye nodded, then looked at Kazama Yumeko and said, "You can accompany Suzune-san to deal with it together."
"Okay."
Yumeko Kazama smiled and nodded.
"You have something to go out tonight?"
Horii Suzune understood Hiramiya Chiya's personality. She knew that although he wanted to let her exercise, he was more likely to let Yumeko accompany him because he was unable to spare the time.
Yumeko is a shrine maiden, and exorcising demons is one of her jobs.
"Well, there are some things that need to be taken care of."
"Is it troublesome?" "A little."
After hearing this, Horii Suzune stopped asking questions and nodded to investigate this campus ghost story.
Hiramiya Chiye stayed in the conference room for a while, during which time he heard Horii Suzune say that she was going to ask the principal for a sum of funds to buy magical instruments to exorcise demons and spirits.
This was obviously an attempt to use this midnight piano music campus ghost story to strike a blow against the principal.
Maybe, Principal, you don't want this campus legend to continue to expand its influence, right?
……
After returning to the temple, Hiramiya Chiye first called Iori Fubuki, who was still visiting Tokyo, and asked her to bring the Manjusri Sword.
The call was made at 5:32, and Iori Fubuki arrived at Weilian Ancient Temple at 6:10.
In order to save time, Iori Fubuki immediately ended her trip after receiving the call, took a taxi, and rushed over.
“Is the big move finally coming?”
Iori Fubuki, carrying the sword case of the Manjusri sword on her back, was full of excitement, with a light blush on both sides of her cheeks.
"I want to go somewhere and do something."
Hiramiya Chiye did not hide anything and said frankly that he was going to Rinno-ji Temple in Nikko City tonight.
"Rinnoji is really not a good temple. It changes its attitude according to the situation faster than anyone else." Iori Fubuki said with disdain.
This is not a slander, but a fact.
Rinno-ji Temple, also known as Nikkoyama, was founded by Shodo in the Nara period.
After Master Kukai climbed the mountain, they changed Mt. Futara to Mt. Nikko and became a member of the Shingon sect.
After Master Ennin climbed the mountain, they immediately converted to the Tiantai Sect.
Although they are all Buddhist temples and have corresponding historical reasons, the speed of changing the mountain tops has indeed been criticized.
"I'll be in charge of driving." Ping Gu Shuichi raised his hand to indicate that he could be of use.
"As the sword-bearing girl, I must be there as well."
When it comes to watching the fun, Iori Fubuki is not to be outdone.
"Can you take me to see it too?" Akechi Mitsuhide asked weakly.
Ruyi and Takeda Saburo, who were standing aside, were also tempted, but they knew very well that someone was needed to guard the Weilian Ancient Temple tonight.
At around 8 o'clock in the evening, Hideichi Hiratani drove a black Mercedes-Benz, carrying Chiya Hiramiya, Mitsuhide Akechi, and Fubuki Iori to Rinnoji Temple in Nikko City.
In the car, Iori Fubuki and Akechi Mitsuhide were chatting idly about what interesting attractions there are in Tokyo.
Pinggong Qianye reached out and gently stroked the sword case lying across his thigh, closing his eyes to rest.
At the same time, he was also thinking about how to deal with the Silver Wheel King.
As for what impact it will have, it depends on the choice made by the abbot of Rinno-ji Temple.
Violence is not a complete solution after all.
If possible, he would only want to be a compassionate monk rather than a violent monk.
In the Rinno-ji Temple, another bright moon hangs high in the sky.
Prince Chengxi had already had a stress response to the bright moon in the sky and the dark and deep night sky.
He didn't dare look up at the sky, for fear that another huge moonlight sword would come across him, or a golden Buddha's palm would fall from the sky.
He was afraid that he was not strong enough and was frightened to the point of fainting.
After another day of repair, the hall was barely restored to its original appearance.
It's watchable, but that's all.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the statue of Chakravartin was never affected directly.
Although this is not something to be happy about...
"Uncle Chengxi, Master Chenghai has returned to the mountain!"
Just as Prince Chengxi was thinking and sighing, a monk came to report.
Senior brother finally returned to the mountain!
It’s good to be back!
With the senior brother here, even if that Master Liansheng comes to fight again from a distance, the Chakravartin Temple will not be afraid at all!
Prince Chengxi felt relieved of his burden and went to greet him as fast as he could.
