Chapter 256: Thousand Paper Cranes, Praying for Good Luck and Disaster Relief
In the afternoon, Pinggong Qianye and Ruyi were folding a thousand paper cranes in a side hall.
Oh, this is because a certain beautiful country is experiencing a super hurricane that rarely occurs in a century.
Politicians called on major temples to donate a batch of paper cranes, which would be sent to the disaster area in the name of the country to pray for blessings and eliminate disasters.
Weilian Ancient Temple is also a registered temple and was allocated a quota of 200 paper cranes.
This number is not too large for a single temple.
But for temples throughout Japan, if there are 200 paper cranes in one temple, at least tens of thousands of paper cranes can be collected.
So many paper cranes can be used to build a house.
When the people in the disaster-stricken areas of the United States see so many paper cranes, maybe they will burn them?
Thousands of paper cranes danced as a hurricane passed by. This scene...
Despite all the complaints, Pinggong Chiye still patiently spent an entire afternoon folding paper cranes with Ruyi.
Pinggong Qianye spent both days of the weekend in Weilian Ancient Temple.
When major temples such as Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Sensō-ji Temple spoke out, the lively accusations and statements on the Internet gradually came to an end.
On the Pudu APP, Pinggong Qianye realized for the first time that he had a considerable number of fans without realizing it.
With the release of his article “The Truth Behind Rinno-ji Temple”, many fans reposted it and spontaneously clarified the facts for him.
He also debated with many monks in the many posts that slandered him, and finally the truth came to light.
Abbot Chenghai of Lunwang Temple was involved in the killing of monks, violated the rules of gods and Buddhas, used Dharma images to send Buddha statues, stole incense and faith, and secretly plotted to seize the Buddhist girl.
Any of them is a serious sin, and death at the hands of Master Liansheng is the will of Buddha and Bodhisattva. Master Liansheng’s action is to eliminate the scum for Buddhism.
There were more and more such remarks, and many monks who had previously slandered the temple deleted their posts and turned around to join the army that attacked the Rinno-ji Temple.
On the media side, Shuichi Hiratani held a press conference in the name of Weilian Ancient Temple to make public what happened in Rinnoji Temple that night.
The much-questioned Rinnoji Temple did not speak out at this time, neither making excuses nor admitting anything.
In response to such reactions, most of the onlookers assumed that there was something wrong with Rinno-ji Temple itself, so they did not dare to confront it.
An insider revealed that the Chakravartin temple is almost deserted with all the monks.
Only a few old monks are still staying in the temple, while the younger monks are switching to other temples.
The Dharma Prince Chengxi, who was highly expected by the outside world, disappeared the day after Chenghai presided over the death, and his whereabouts are unknown.
Once such an online incident had a clear cause and effect, the heat quickly subsided.
When you eat melons, you are eating the truth of the event before it is revealed.
"What a great joy!"
Akechi Mitsuhide was grumbling about celebrating, so Hiratani Shuichi bought a lot of ingredients. Ruyi started cooking an hour in advance, and Takeda Saburo was responsible for helping him.
As for Pinggong Qianye, he had some free time and stayed in the backyard to preach to Xiaoqing, Shantu and the three monsters in the lotus pond.
He mainly expounded on the "Sutra of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva", which contains great aspirations and great compassion.
It can save humans and also save demons.
Among them, Xiaoqing listened most attentively, Yamausagi dozed off, Haifangzhu swam around with his tail wagging, Shiju had a confused look on his face, the magic frog was lost in thought, and Nethragi hid in a dark corner.
"Master, why do you choose to tolerate the provocations of those Buddhist disciples?"
After the lecture, Pinggong Qianye allowed them to communicate freely or ask questions, and Xiaoqing couldn't wait to express her doubts.
"Humans are neither Buddhas nor saints, and have many shortcomings, and so do monks. I can't resort to the extreme of killing them just because they question and speak ill of me, can I?"
"But you can teach them a lesson and let them know that there is a price to pay for slandering others without reason."
Xiaoqing was very upset about what happened in the past few days. It was obviously those monks who came to provoke and make trouble, but Master Liansheng had to put up with them. It was a bit aggrieved. If it were the monsters, they would rather fight and get hurt than be humiliated!
“When you don’t care about what they say or do, you won’t get mad about it.”
"But if that's the case, they'll come back even more aggressively next time. Won't that be troublesome?"
Pinggong Qianye smiled and touched Xiaoqing's head without saying anything else.
Recently he has also been thinking about how to deal with these things.
After a while, Ruyi prepared the meal and Pinggong Qianye ended his lecture for the day.
After dinner, Ping Gu Shuichi said shyly: "I have to leave for a while recently to hold a concert in Osaka, and then another one in Hokkaido."
Akechi Mitsuhide patted his shoulder and said, "Go ahead and don't worry. Remember to leave a few tickets for me so I can use them as a favor."
"Only one."
"How stingy!"
……
A few days later, a new piece of news replaced the hot searches about Pinggong Chiye.
It's more like an urban legend than news.
Hiramiya Chiye didn't care about it, but Akechi Mitsuhide and Hiratani Shuichi were discussing it excitedly.
Some male cattle disappeared inexplicably.
When Pinggong Qianye arrived at school for class, he heard the male classmates in the class discussing this topic.
The scope of the discussion became more and more exaggerated, and many of the female students who were watching wanted to listen but felt shy. They could only cover their cheeks with books, move their ears slightly, and listen quietly to the discussions of the male students.
Niu Zi disappeared, which was indeed a very terrifying thing.
Hiramiya Chiya could even feel the curious and teasing glances that Horii Suzune and Kazama Yumeko occasionally cast at her, gradually moving downwards.
While having lunch, Pinggong Qianye could hear people around him discussing this matter, and some male teachers also joined in the discussion.
For Japan, which already has a declining birthrate, the disappearance of male calves is indeed extremely terrifying.
Some people say that this is a horrific supernatural event, done by a perverted evil spirit!
Others said that this was done by aliens, who secretly captured human men, removed their sperm and studied the human reproductive system.
They even speculated that the aliens were preparing to create a group of bionic humans to integrate into the human world, and then quietly unify the world in secret.
Others say that this is because some wealthy people are in poor health and have severe impotence, and they need a young and energetic male to help them regain their virility.
There are all kinds of weird statements, and the speculations on the Internet are even more bizarre. Almost everyone is involved in the discussion of this topic.
After school in the afternoon, Pinggong Chiye came to the meeting room of the Supernatural Society. All the members of the Supernatural Society were already there, but he was the last one.
"Mr. Hiramiya, you came so late, we thought you had an accident." Yumeko Kazama said with a meaningful smile.
The female members who understood the meaning of the words blushed slightly and looked down along the strong arm muscles of Hiramiya Chiye.
The recent incident of men's penis disappearing has caused a lot of controversy. It is said that many men feel a chill under their crotch when they go out.
Some men who are used to sleeping naked are so scared that they put on more underwear.
Even incidents of molesters on the subway have become rare because of this incident.
Many underwear salesmen told reporters that the number of men purchasing underwear has increased several times recently.
There is also a master blacksmith who said that many men come to him to customize a few sets of iron crotches for self-defense.
