The Strange Tales of Tokyo Monk

The second before leaving the ward, she subconsciously looked back for some reason.

At bed number 3, Fujiwara Kaori, who was originally lying on the bed, actually sat up by herself. The white cloth on her face fell off, revealing her cheek with almost all the flesh and blood gone.

The gleaming white bones are eerie and scary.

The tightly closed eyes are now opening and looking towards him.

Those resentful eyes brought the deepest terror.

"Haunted!"

The female nurse screamed, slammed the door of the ward, and ran away holding on to the wall, her whole body weak.

In the ward, a black shadow filled with resentment and anger was beginning to leave Fujiwara Kaori's body.

revenge!

She can't die like this!

She wants revenge!

She wants to make those who have wronged her pay the price!

She must turn into a ghost to take revenge!

The strong obsession for revenge made the black shadow gradually take on the appearance of Fujiwara Kaori.

When it was completely separated from the body, strong winds howled outside the window, and the window that was originally closed was knocked open again.

The cold wind blew in in gusts, causing the curtains near the bed to flutter constantly.

A yellow lucky bag hanging on the bed frame shook gently and the bag opened.

The "Six-Syllable Mantra" in the lucky bag emitted golden light and turned into six mantras: Om, Ma, Ni, Padme Hum, and flew out.

Before Fujiwara Kaori, who had turned into a fierce ghost, could think about who her target of revenge would be, golden spells carrying an irresistible and terrifying Buddhist power pressed down on her head one by one.

As soon as the word "Ba" was pressed, the dark shadow of Fujiwara Kaori was completely transcended and purified, disappearing without a trace.

boom.

Fujiwara Kaori's body lost all its strength and fell down again.

Inside the ward, the lights returned to normal, illuminating everything except the two glass windows that were still creaking.

When the female nurse cried and called many people to the ward, the lights were bright and Fujiwara Kaori's body lay quietly on the bed.

Even the white cloth completely covered Fujiwara Kaori's face.

Did I see it wrong just now?

But someone was clearly pulling at the corner of my clothes.

Fujiwara Kaori's body did sit up.

As the female nurse was criticized, she fell into deep self-doubt.

……

In the early morning, the sun's rays shone through the window and spread onto Pinggong Chiye's bed.

"It's rare to have a good night's sleep."

When the sunlight was about to fall on his face, Pinggong Chiye jumped up from the bed.

I put on my slippers and checked the time. It was 8:35am.

For him who is used to getting up at 6 o'clock, this is considered as staying in bed too late.

There was no other way. The 200 million yen commission from Horii Suzune's grandfather stimulated him to search the Internet for a suitable plan to renovate his own temple all night.

He planned to use all his savings to expand his own temple, otherwise it would be too small.

As for the land… a large area around here belongs to his family, but they just don’t have the money to develop it.

Wash up, have breakfast and go out.

Today is the weekend and we don't have to go to school.

As for Horii Yuji's commission, he would go there again at night. All the demons were hiding during the day, so it would be a waste of time to solve the problem.

Pinggong Chiye found various surveying tools from the utility room in his home.

He was not an expert in this area, he just wanted to simply measure the land around the temple and the size of each new building.

He planned to first build three buildings around the side hall: the East Hall, the Dharma Hall, and the Bathroom.

The bathroom next to the Weilian Ancient Temple was a makeshift one, lacking privacy and was narrow. Every time he took a shower, he was worried that someone might suddenly break in.

The Dharma Hall is a necessary building.

This is a place specifically used for preaching the Dharma. The main hall is a place for worship, and many things are placed in the side halls. Once there are more believers, there will not be enough space.

As for Dongsi, the name sounds very powerful and gives people the feeling of a mysterious organization like Dongchang.

In fact, it is really amazing.

Because it is the place where people need to go to for emergency, it is commonly known as a thatch, and is now more elegantly called a bathroom.

Dongsi refers to the toilet used by monks in the Dongxu of the Zen forest. It was called Dongsi as early as the Tang Dynasty in China. Later, it was introduced to Japan and has continued there ever since.

After all, it does sound very high-end.

Chapter 29: The Nine-Character Mantra of Tantric Buddhism

[Pinggong, are you free tonight? ]

【What's up? 】

[I am returning to China today and would like to invite a group of friends in the circle to gather at the bar]

[I may not have time]

[It’s okay, I’ll send you the bar location, come when you’re free]

Hiramiya Chiya was sitting on the train on the way to the Shinjuku Police Station, replying to new messages on her phone.

As the heir to a family temple, Pinggong Chiye also knows several heirs to other family temples.

The person who sent him the message was a wealthy heir to a family temple who had made his fortune in real estate.

They are about the same age, but their living environments are very different.

He went to study abroad in junior high school and only returned to Japan two years ago to attend high school. His daily life is full of fun.

It is completely different from my own miserable and tight life.

In his words, as long as he doesn't start a business, invest, gamble, or take drugs, and just enjoys life as a rich second-generation, that would be the greatest reward he can give to his parents and family.

Of course, it would be best to have more sons.

Reincarnation is really a technical job.

No wonder people believe so much in the afterlife, because the sufferings of this world cannot be alleviated or changed, so we can only place our tiny hope on the afterlife.

Pinggong Qianye put away his cell phone, leaned back slightly against the seat, and looked at the busy scene whizzing past outside the car window.

Even on weekends, there are very few people who can really calm down and enjoy life, and people are still busy on the road.

This is the case when they have the guarantee of two days off a week. It is said that in some places, there may not even be two days off a month.

All living beings suffer, resentment arises, ghosts and monsters appear, the world is in chaos, demons proliferate, and the world is destroyed.

This is probably the future of Japan as a country.

Well, it's probably hopeless.

Shinjuku Ward, Police Station.

When Pinggong Qianye arrived here, it was just their normal working time.

Today is the weekend and Yuji Horii does not need to be on duty, but in order to resolve recent events, he stayed in the police station and waited.

Hiramiya Chiya's arrival attracted the attention of other police officers. Horii Yuji did not tell others in detail what he was going to do here.

After saying hello, Horii Yuji led Hiramiya Chiya to the prison room where the first criminal, Kojima Kunio, was.

"All betrayers must die, haha, all must die..."

Kunio Kojima faced the wall with his back to the outside, muttering to himself from time to time.

"Since being imprisoned, his mental state has become increasingly unbalanced, and he had previously attempted suicide."

"At first he would respond normally to our questions, but later he gradually became withdrawn and stopped talking to anyone except for a few mumblings."

"We also invited a psychiatrist, who diagnosed him as having suffered a major misfortune that led to mental disorder."

Horii Yuji stood beside Hiramiya Chiya and told him about the prisoner Kojima Kunio.

"Open the door, I'll go in."

"Be careful, he can sometimes get violent and hurt people."

"It's okay, he can't beat me."

"……Too."

Horii Yuji took a look at Hiramiya Chiya's tall stature and arm muscles. Not only could Kojima Kunio not beat him, even well-trained soldiers might not be his match.

The prison door opened, and Hiramiya Chiye walked in and came behind Kojima Kunio.

When Kojima Kunio turned around and was about to roar in anger due to the stress reaction, Hiramiya Chiye spread out his hand and slapped him on the head with his five fingers pointing downward, making a crisp sound.

The anger and tension in Kunio Kojima's eyes disappeared, his eyes were confused and lifeless, his raised right hand stopped in mid-air, he stood there stupidly, motionless.

Pinggong Qianye stood in front of him, looked at him carefully for a while, and sighed.

"Narajinchipagaraya, Svaha. Mahavalishengkaraya, Svaha..."

Pinggong Qianye looked solemn, chanting the "Vajrasattva Subduing Demon Mantra" with his hands in the inner lion seal.

This is the hand seal and mantra representing the "being" in the nine-character mantra of Tantric Buddhism.

It manifests itself as the power to freely control one's own body and the bodies of others.

The spiritual power of all things is at my disposal.

Possesses the ability to recover.

The nine-character mantra of Tantric Buddhism has its own hand seals and mantras, representing different aspects of abilities.

Lin: It means to remain calm when facing things, maintain an unshakable and unconfused will, make the Acalanatha seal, and recite the Vajrasattva mantra. It is a symbol of physical and mental stability.

Soldier: It represents the vitality to prolong life and return to childhood. Make the Vajra Wheel Seal and recite the Heart Mantra of Vajra King of the Three Ages.

Fighting: Integrate all difficulties, make the outer lion seal, and recite the Vajrasattva Dharmakaya Mantra.

All: When feeling a crisis, make the outer binding mudra and recite the Vajrasattva Samantabhadra Dharmakaya Mantra.

Formation: Make the inner binding mudra and recite the Six Paths Vajra Mantra of Guru Padmasambhava.

Line up: Make the wisdom fist seal and recite the Vairocana Tathagata Heart Mantra.

Then: Make the Sun Wheel Seal and recite the Vairocana Tathagata Heart Mantra.

Before: Make the vase seal and recite the mantra of Marikidhi.

All the Tantric warriors who are about to fight follow the nine-character mantra, each of which has its own magical use and strengths.

This is considered the basic mudra of Tantra.

On weekdays, Pinggong Qianye rarely uses hand seals and spells because it is rather troublesome.

In most cases, he would just slap the demons and evil spirits to death.

But when saving people, he needs to take it step by step and cannot rely solely on violence.

It is easy to get rid of the evil energy accumulated in the mind of the little island Kunio in front of him, but it is a bit troublesome to restore his damaged mind.

Hiramiya Chiya formed the inner lion seal and placed the tips of his index fingers on the center of Kojima Kunio's eyebrows. Magic power flowed and a stream of energy was injected into his eyebrows.

The evil energy dissipated and the damaged mind gradually recovered.

Well, that's it.
