Chapter 67: The Death-Calling Song in the Night
As the king of beasts, the lion can scare other beasts with its mighty roar.
In Buddhism, the lion's roar is often used to illustrate the deterrent power of the Buddha's preaching, which can subdue the evil views of heretics, eliminate ignorance and attachment, and enable all beings to see the nature and become enlightened.
"It should be more majestic and domineering, and its physique should be terrifying enough."
"Well, you can first visualize the blue lion on which Manjusri Bodhisattva sits in your mind."
"Combined with the method of circulating the mana in my body and the vocalization technique, I should be able to achieve a lion's roar."
While thinking, Pinggong Chiye outlined the shape of a lion on a blank piece of paper with minimalist lines.
Each line under his pen seemed to glow, and there seemed to be a light flowing in his abdomen, which was the flow route of the magic power in his body.
Pinggong Qianye also tried to harmonize the flow of his magic power several times. His throat felt itchy and he had the urge to roar.
Unfortunately, this is his home. If it were deep in the mountains, he wouldn't mind roaring a few times.
It is better to wait until this Lion's Roar is fully conceived, and then try it out deep in the mountains and forests to see if it really has the power to make all beasts fear and submit.
Drop drop drop.
There is new information.
Hiramiya Chiye put down his pen, picked up his cell phone and took a look. It was a letter from Takeda Saburo.
[May I ask how much money Master Liansheng needs to offer to the Three Treasures? ]
How can you ask such a sensitive question?
Can't you just learn from Hase Shuichi and gain some advice?
After all, you are still too young.
Pinggong Qianye sighed and chose not to reply. He just left it alone for a while. He probably would figure it out by himself later.
Until Heimiya Chiya completed the conception of the Lion's Roar and until Heimiya Chiya woke up the next day, Takeda Saburo had not sent the second message.
Children cannot be taught.
However, this kind of character quality is also very good.
It would not be a good thing if everyone was as smooth as Hase Shuichi.
【Pagoda First Floor】
Pinggong Qianye thought about it and sent out such an intriguing message.
What he meant was that every time Takeda Saburo came to seek advice and learn from others, a layer of the tower had to be built for the Weilian Ancient Temple.
If you really calculate it, it is still a lot cheaper than Hidekazu Hase's 1000 million yen.
Just consider it as a discount for Takeda Saburo not yet fully assimilated into the secular world.
Soon, Takeda Saburo's message came back.
[I wish to build a pagoda for the temple, and pass on the sutras once for each life]
This statement is quite neat.
Hiramiya Chiya went out with a smile on his face. While riding the train, he told Takeda Saburo the key points that he needed to pay attention to when practicing Vajra Body, as well as the problems he was facing at the moment, according to his needs.
Pinggong Qianye believed that he had made great progress in the practice of Vajra Body and was only one step away from reaching the final level of Vajra Body in the human world.
Although this step is not easy to take, he has already found the key and is ready to start practicing after a while.
School life was still very ordinary. Except for the occasional exams that would slightly distract Pinggong Qianye's thoughts, the rest of the time he was busy preparing for his lessons in advance.
I always feel like there’s not enough time.
Nothing major happened at the supernatural society, but someone mentioned an urban legend late at night.
It's not about Hachisha-sama and the Slit-mouthed Woman, but another new urban legend that has only recently appeared on the Internet.
The death-demanding song in the middle of the night.
The person who talked about this urban legend was Nami Amuro, who was in the class next to Chiya Hiramiya and was also a member of the supernatural club.
The reason why Horii Suzune recruited her into the supernatural club was because she said that she could often see spirits when she was a child, but her ability gradually disappeared when she was about 8 years old. This is a very common phenomenon. Children are simple-minded, and their souls have not yet completely merged with their bodies. Occasionally, they will have symptoms of soul separation and can peek into the affairs of ghosts and gods.
As we grow older, we are invaded by the five turbidities and evil spirits. Our body and soul become intertwined, becoming inseparable, and we gradually lose the ability to spy on the affairs of ghosts and gods.
So sometimes when children suddenly say something shocking, it doesn’t necessarily mean they are lying. Maybe they really see another world that adults cannot see.
In addition to joining the supernatural club, Nami Amuro also loves singing. She said that one day she was in a good mood and had trouble falling asleep, so she thought of finding a deserted place late at night and singing loudly.
Of course, she was not brave enough to go out alone late at night, so she invited two of her same-sex friends, and the three of them went to watch the sunrise together.
The place they chose was near the Meguro River.
They arrived at the place around 11pm and prepared tents for camping.
It was around 1 o'clock in the morning. Nami Amuro was singing her favorite song loudly, but soon she heard another voice mixing in.
The singing voice was like weeping and complaining, as if it rose from the deep sea, icy and cold, with a strange voice as moist as the sea.
It was not her voice, nor was it the harmony of her two friends.
Moreover, when the inexplicable singing voice appeared, her two friends were sitting in the tent playing with their mobile phones, laughing and joking, and did not sing at all.
At that time, she had just sung half of her song. She realized something was wrong and subconsciously wanted to stop singing.
But I remember that when the Supernatural Club discussed this kind of situation, Hiramiya Chiye once said: "If they haven't shown obvious malice towards you, then you'd better continue to concentrate on the previous things and don't stop suddenly, otherwise it will easily lead to unexpected events."
She took a few deep breaths and forced herself to sing the entire song.
At the end of the song, she vaguely saw a red figure emerging from the middle of the water. Its bleeding, empty eyes glanced at her, and then it walked along the river on its own.
In fact, she once suspected that it might be an illusion caused by her fear.
But she immediately remembered another sentence Ping Gong Qianye once said: "When you suspect that you have seen something incredible, you'd better treat it as real and take it seriously, instead of comforting yourself with excuses such as illusion or trance."
She quickly calmed down and kept the matter to herself without sharing it with her friends.
In the end, they had a peaceful night and enjoyed the beautiful sunrise before returning home.
After returning home, Nami Amuro was feeling uneasy. She took out her mobile phone and started searching for the latest news about that area.
It was discovered that two murders had occurred near that place in the past month.
The victims of both murders went camping near the Meguro River to watch the sunrise, and the cause of death was drowning.
One of the survivors, when asked by reporters if he noticed anything wrong, said that he seemed to hear some strange singing.
This answer did not attract much attention, and the reporter did not continue to ask questions along this line.
It is also possible that the reporter did ask the question, but when editing the article later, he felt that the answer was not very reliable, so he chose to delete it.
Nami Amuro tried to find other possible news, but found nothing.
Instead, she searched for a similar urban legend.
A soul-demanding song from late at night.
The person who spread this urban legend claimed that he had heard a strange singing voice late at night. The next day, he discovered that a murder had occurred where the singing voice came from.
The man did not specify the specific time and place, nor did he specify what kind of murder it was. He seemed to be worried about something.
In the answers to that post, two replies mentioned that they had also heard some strange singing late at night, and that a murder occurred nearby the next day.
With a few replies, this post became a little popular.
Those who are still active under the post call these similar stories "late-night death-seeking songs" and classify them as new urban legends.
The attention was not high, so it did not cause much discussion.
If you don't search the Internet carefully, you won't find any relevant post information.
"The stories I told you are all what I experienced last Saturday. There is absolutely no falsehood in them."
At the end, Nami Amuro looked at the members of the Supernatural Club and spoke very seriously.
