The Strange Tales of Tokyo Monk

"Ah, it's that big tiger. It actually chased us here!"

The Mountain Rabbit was the first to react. She didn't care that the Moon Doll was still pulling her rabbit ears and refused to let go. She quickly called Xiaoqing and prepared to run away.

Xiao Qing swept his tail and looked up at Pinggong Qianye, who didn't move. The magic frog didn't move either, but croaked twice, signaling the mountain rabbit not to worry.

"Little mountain rabbit, come with me. I will give you a divine position. Then your strength will increase greatly. A mere tiger demon will not be your opponent at all."

The childish voice of Yaesakura Jingu when she was a child came out from the moon doll.

"do not want!"

Yamausagi shook his head decisively to refuse.

Roar!

The roar of the tiger is gradually approaching here.

Pinggong Qianye was just about to stand up and take his Zen stick to take a look at the so-called Tiger Vanguard when an old mountain boy came out from the dense forest, supported by two younger mountain boys.

"Master Liansheng, you don't need to do it yourself. Shanwu has already set out to drive away the Tiger Vanguard. It is the mountain god of this place, and it is its duty to protect every plant and tree here."

The old mountain boy's voice was quite proud and confident.

Shanwu, this name is well chosen. It directly uses the mountain as the surname, which is suitable for the identity of a mountain boy.

Pinggong Qianye just thought this and let the young mountain god take action.

About three minutes later, a rustling sound was heard in the dense forest.

A large cloud of white fog covered the area, and then the figure of a young mountain boy walked out from the fog, holding a small brown tiger in his right hand.

"Master Liansheng..."

The young mountain boy came straight to Pinggong Qianye and bowed his head respectfully. Although he still stuttered a little when speaking, it was much better than before.

"You don't need to be so polite in the future."

Pinggong Qianye reminded and looked at the little tiger in Shantong's hand.

Is this the so-called Tiger Vanguard?

Pinggong Qianye slightly opened his Vajra Eyes and took a glance, and found that it was not that Tiger Vanguard had not yet reached adulthood, but that its demonic power was almost dispersed by the mountain boy, which caused its body to shrunk so severely.

"Hahaha, big tiger, do you still recognize King Benshan?"

The mountain rabbit jumped down from the magic frog's head, walked up to the tiger vanguard with great confidence, stretched out its little hand and grabbed its ear.

Just like the moon doll that was lying behind her and holding on to her bunny ears.

"Roar!"

The Tiger Vanguard bared his teeth, trying to regain his power, but the next second he was slapped on the head by the Mountain Rabbit. He silently put away his edge and chose to remain silent.

"Humph, you little cat, you dare to bully the king of this mountain."

Yamausagi reached out and pulled Tiger Vanguard's ear to vent his emotions, and then continued to compete with the Moon Doll behind him.

She is the king of the mountain, how could she allow a puppet like this to lie on her back and pull her ears?

The magic frog in the mountain stream had a hint of excitement in its eyes.

It knew very well what Tiger Vanguard was capable of, and that was an opponent that even Old Mountain Boy could not necessarily defeat.

However, the young mountain boy who had just received the imperial decree was able to easily subdue the Tiger Vanguard.

This undoubtedly shows that the benefits brought by the position of mountain god just conferred are absolutely terrifying!

Soon, it thought of another key point. When Master Liansheng conferred the title of mountain god, he did not define the area in detail.

In other words, the benefits of the position of mountain god that the young mountain boy can enjoy are not limited to the nearby mountains and forests.

This is not the mountain god who guards the mountains and forests, but the real mountain god who controls all the mountains and valleys!

The magic frog's eyes widened, and for a moment it also wanted Master Liansheng to confer a divine title on him.

"Master Liansheng, I have arranged all the funeral arrangements. We can start now."

The old mountain boy asked the two young mountain boys to let him go. He gathered all the demonic power in his body, supported his body, and walked in front of Pinggong Qianye.

Just like the young mountain boy who accepted the imperial decree before, he knelt down and bowed his head.

Chapter 118: Rebirth Mantra

"Grandpa Shantong, what are you doing? Is it going to be conferred the title of mountain god as well?"

The mountain rabbit hiding on the head of the magic frog had a bad feeling when he saw this scene.

"Its life is coming to an end. It probably has more than a month to live."

The Moon Doll stopped playing with the Mountain Rabbit, and said with some emotion that life is always easy to fade away.

"More than a month? How could it be possible!"

The mountain rabbit was so frightened that it jumped off the magic frog's head and hopped in front of the old mountain boy. After getting a positive answer, it looked extremely sad.

"Little Mountain Rabbit, practice hard, even if it's just to live a little longer."

The old mountain boy stroked the mountain rabbit's head and asked her to leave first so as not to delay Master Liansheng's business.

"Grandpa Shan Tong..."

The mountain rabbit stood not far away, tears in her eyes, and the moon doll gently stroked her head.

"You have more than a month to live."

"Living a little longer is just lying there. There is no difference between being alive and being dead."

Seeing that the old mountain boy faced death calmly, Pinggong Qianye didn't say much.

He stood up, holding the Zen stick, and pointed it in front of the old mountain boy's head.

This process does not require too many steps, and the old mountain boy voluntarily offers his soul.

The soul of the old mountain boy, who was in the form of illusory light and shadow, left his body. He looked once again at the three mountain boys he had raised and smiled with satisfaction.

After thinking about it, he decided not to say anything else. He had already explained everything he needed to explain. He turned around and immersed himself in the Zen staff in Pinggong Qianye's hand.

There was nothing strange or special about it, and the Zen staff just swallowed up the soul of a mountain boy.

Pinggong Qianye sighed, chanted a Buddhist name silently in his heart, and thrust the Zen stick in his hand into the ground, injecting great magic power into it.

In an instant, the Zen stick turned gently, emitting dazzling Buddhist light, golden light that dyed the surrounding mountains and forests.

Three mountain boys knelt around the Zen stick, crying and bidding farewell to the old mountain boy who passed away.

"Namo Amitabha, Dothagata, Dodiyata, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha."

Pinggong Qianye bowed his head and chanted the "Nirvana Mantra", hoping to use the mantra to eliminate all the worries of the old mountain boy and to be reborn in the Western Paradise.

Birth and death are the greatest sufferings in this world. Being able to be reborn into the next life is already a great mercy.

As the sound of Pinggong Qianye chanting the "Nirvana Mantra" resounded throughout the mountains and forests, wisps of breeze blew in from all directions, passing through the four-pronged double-wheel twelve-rings at the head of the Zen staff, making a humming sound.

When the bright moon in the sky moved horizontally for a distance, the wind through the mountains and forests that was carrying wind to the Western Paradise stopped.

The sound of chanting the "Nirvana Mantra" stopped and the Zen stick stopped turning.

Pinggong Qianye held the Zen stick in front of him, looked up at the moonlight, and looked at the moon doll lying on the back of the mountain rabbit to comfort the mountain rabbit.

"It's time for us to set off."

Now that the matter here is over, we should naturally leave. As for when we can reunite, it depends on whether our destinies can give us the opportunity to intertwine again.

"See you next time."

The moon doll flew up from the mountain rabbit and sat on the right shoulder of Heimiya Chiye. It followed Heimiya Chiye and left the dense forest in the mountains under the moonlight.

The three mountain boys, the mountain rabbit, the magic frog and Xiaoqing watched Pinggong Qianye leave.

People come and go in a hurry, and the gathering and separation of people in the world are all like floating clouds.

"Sister Bai, I have to practice hard."

The figure went away, Xiaoqing withdrew her gaze, crawled towards the jade bed, crossed her body, looked up at the moon, and entered a state of cultivation.

The other three mountain boys also found a suitable place and began to practice.

The unattended Tiger Vanguard was being watched by the magic frog and did not dare to sneak away.

"..."

As Yamausagi watched this scene, he always felt that if he continued to think about playing, wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?

"Shall I practice for a while too?" Yamausagi whispered softly.

"Quack."

The magic frog agreed with this.

"...Mr. Frog, you are so annoying!"

Shantu was angry for a while, then sat next to Xiaoqing and started practicing. Then he lay on his side and fell asleep without knowing when.

……

Deep mountains, dense forests, and travelers.

If you travel at this time, you are most likely to encounter mountain goblins and monsters.

Unfortunately, Pinggong Qianye has not met him yet.

Perhaps it was because he was traveling too fast, and sometimes in the blink of an eye he would go from the foot of the mountain on this side to the top of the mountain on the other side.

After all, if you want to travel around in a month, it is absolutely impossible to do it by walking like an ordinary person.

"Are there really fox spirits and female ghosts in this kind of place?" Jingu Yae Sakura asked while controlling the Moon Doll.

"This is a story that is recorded in a standard book of gods and ghosts. Scholars are most likely to encounter this kind of situation when traveling late at night."

While traveling under the moonlight, Hiramiya Chiye patiently discussed the matter with Jingu Yaezakura.

Fox spirits often transform themselves into peerless beauties and appear before scholars in clothes that reveal three parts and cover seven parts. They have charming demeanors, sweet lips and soft words, and are best at captivating people.

Once the scholar can't control himself, the vixens will take out his heart and liver and eat them, and before leaving they will curse, saying that all men who covet beauty deserve to die!

As for female ghosts, they often appear in white mourning clothes. Their magical powers are generally not as strong as those of fox spirits, so they can only rely on coaxing to make scholars willingly spend a night with them.

They would not necessarily take the scholar's life. Sometimes, they would come to spend every night with the scholar and be affectionate and intimate with him.

It’s just that humans are yang and ghosts are yin. When yin and yang interact, the yang energy is lost, which can cause a serious illness at the very least, or death at the worst.

Of course, if the scholar keeps his heart righteous and does not refuse to be deceived, then the female ghosts will most likely be unable to do anything to him.

"You seem to know a lot about vixen and female ghosts?" Jingu Yae Sakura expressed her doubts through the moon doll.

“I just read it in a book.”

"These books are not serious. You'd better read less in the future."

Why does this tone give the feeling of Lin Daiyu persuading Jia Baoyu to read?

Pinggong Qianye laughed and then nodded in agreement.

Weilian Ancient Temple has never collected this kind of books. The so-called stories about fox spirits and female ghosts are memories left over from his previous life.

In such a late-night atmosphere, it is natural and customary to tell stories about gods and ghosts.

After passing through another mountain, Pinggong Qianye stopped at the top of the mountain.

His eyes glowed slightly with golden light as he glanced at the foot of the mountain below.

"So, ghosts often appear in the dead of night."

"A female ghost?"

The Moon Doll stood up from Pinggong Chiye's shoulder, looking down at the foot of the mountain below, but could not see anything.

This moon doll cannot carry too much of Jingu Yaezakura's divine power.

"probably."

Pinggong Qianye replied with a smile and walked towards the foot of the mountain at a leisurely pace.

Passing through the dense forest, we approached the foot of the mountain.
