The Strange Tales of Tokyo Monk

As for the saying of loving the moon, there are probably few monks throughout history who hate the moon, right?

"Master Liansheng, so mighty and majestic!!"

Su Tian Wubian, who was still surfing the Internet, came over to reply and followed it with an emoticon of waving flags and cheering.

Pinggong Qianye ignored him, read the comments for a while, and then closed the Pudu APP.

I lay in bed for a while and found that it was only a little after 11 o'clock, so I got up, sat at the desk, and read the scriptures.

If young people don’t stay up late, can they still be called young people?

……

Late at night, a wet and salty sea breeze blew in from the surface of Tokyo Bay.

It was the hottest time of July, and many outdoor tents were set up in the nearby seaside park, where young men and women were dating and playing.

In the dense woods or grass in the middle of the night, one or two disgusting moan sounds would always be heard from time to time.

Only when the lights of the patrolling security guards pass by do the waves of seductive moans stop briefly.

When the lights faded away, the disgusting moaning sounds re-emerged.

Sometimes, the sound would even sound on one side and then fall on the other side, one after another, as if they were engaging in some kind of tacit competition.

In the shade of a jungle, a young girl dressed fashionably and beautifully, held the tree trunk in front of her with both hands, her waist and hips straightened, her hair loose and stuck to her forehead with sweat, her eyes hazy and absent-minded, and her lips painted with bright lipstick, uttering a series of light or heavy moans.

Suddenly, a dim yellow light slowly floated over from the grass in front.

Getting closer.

Gradually illuminate the already dim environment.

The man behind the girl was standing taller and had a wider field of vision. Occasionally he looked up and the ball of yellow light hidden in a red lantern clearly entered his field of vision.

The man was so frightened that he trembled and felt weak all over.

"Brother, are you done so soon tonight?"

"I'm not there yet..."

The girl murmured softly, pushed her hips back, waited for a moment, and found that the man behind her did not move at all.

It's becoming more useless every day.

The girl sighed in disappointment, raised her head, and prepared to ridicule the man behind her.

Suddenly, the yellow flame hidden in the lantern appeared clearly in front of her.

The flickering flames looked like curious stars blinking.

The girl was frightened and let out a scream. She pushed the man behind her back, then quickly stood up and put down her rolled up black skirt.

The man, who had reacted at this time, shuddered again. He hurriedly grabbed the girl's hand and rushed out of the grove, not daring to stay here any longer.

A dazzling white light swept over, it was the security guard on night patrol.

When the white light from the flashlight fell on the man, his lower body was still completely naked, revealing his second brother who had already become listless.

Finally, the girl and the man were taken away by patrolling security personnel.

After everyone left, the yellow flame hidden in the lantern in the bushes tilted its upper body forward and blinked as if in confusion.

After a while, another slightly larger yellow flame hidden inside the lantern floated over.

As if by force, the first lantern that was still peeping in the dark was dragged away.

Two balls of yellow flames seemed to be using the hidden red lanterns as sedan chairs, floating through the grass and coming to the bank of a nearby river.

At this time, above the gurgling river, red lanterns were lined up, one in between, flowing along the water, towards the river outlet and towards the sea.

Later, one of the two yellow flames was hit and reluctantly returned to the river surface, lined up behind a lantern, and floated towards the sea along the river.

Another ball of yellow flame stood quietly by the river. It waited until all the red lanterns flowed out from the depths of the river before it slowly floated on the river, allowing the water to carry it to the sea.

A bright moon was shining in the sky, and the sea was surging with waves as usual, pushing away the currents and sending the red lanterns to deeper parts of the sea.

……

"Officer, we really didn't lie. We really saw a ball of yellow flame floating from deep in the grass at the Seaside Park!"

"Yes, I clearly saw the yellow flame hidden inside a red lantern!"

"Yes, its flames flicker, just like the eyes of stars blinking!"

"Officer, they must be monsters!"

"Officer, you must believe us! We definitely did not lie about this issue!"

Inside the security room of the Seaside Park, two police officers who received the call looked at the man and woman in front of them helplessly.

He went to the seaside park late at night to have sex and was caught on the spot by patrolling security personnel.

This is not a big deal and can be solved with verbal education or a small fine.

However, after the man and woman were taken to the security room, they kept insisting that they had just seen a monster.

This is a seaside park with a large flow of visitors every day, especially now that the Spark Conference is approaching, the visitor flow has doubled.

If rumors of monsters lurking here were to spread, it would have a serious impact on the income of the entire park.

And even if there are monsters, it is not something that can be solved by a few patrolling security personnel.

So they chose to call the police, and the police officers nearby had to rush here to deal with it.

"Since you both refuse to change your statements, then both of you should come with us to the police station to make a statement."

Seeing that the couple insisted that there was a monster in the seaside park, a police officer had no choice but to use his trump card.

According to the conversation and understanding just now, this man and woman are not a couple, but each has a family and is in a superior-subordinate relationship in the company.

Tonight, they each lied that they were on a business trip and couldn't get home in time, and then they agreed to go to the seaside park to seek fun and excitement.

After hearing this, the man and woman who originally wanted to argue with the police officer suddenly fell silent and dared not say anything.

Going to the police station to take a statement is not suitable for them now.

Soon, the man and woman received some criticism and education and left the security room.

"Officers, could there really be some monster lingering in the park?"

There were no outsiders present, and the patrolling security guard couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

The adulterous couple were not the first to see the so-called yellow flame.

The first people to notice this scene were their security personnel who were patrolling late at night.

It happened about 3 days ago.

But at that time they only caught a glimpse of a yellow flame from afar, passing through the grass and disappearing, and did not encounter it head-on.

In Japan, there are so many legends about various monsters.

It is not unacceptable for a ball of fire to become a spirit.

"We try not to disturb them when they have no intention of hurting anyone."

The two police officers left the security room after saying these last words, leaving a few security personnel who still had to continue patrolling looking at each other in bewilderment.

"The locations where they appeared twice seem to be concentrated in that area. When we patrol in the future, we will try to avoid that area."

The patrol captain spoke with a serious expression, solemnly admonishing the other patrol members to be careful and not to disturb any possible ghosts or monsters just because of their curiosity.

As for such ghost rumors, he had encountered them several times in his life, but he only needed to stay away from them. There were not so many ghosts that would actually hurt people.

More often they just pass by by chance.

After all, this kind of place should have been their home, and humans are latecomers and invaders.

In the countryside, people always leave a piece of pure land for these spirits to live in mountains, rivers, wild rivers, swamps and other places, and try not to disturb their lives.

These are villages that have inherited ancient wisdom that has been passed down through the long river of history.

Unfortunately, most people nowadays live in cities full of steel and concrete, and have forgotten the wisdom that is still being passed down in places like the countryside.

If he had not encountered such an incident recently, he would probably have forgotten his childhood life in the countryside long ago.

Chapter 101 Master Liansheng is the most beautiful person in the world

On July 7, the sky was clear, reflecting everything like a blue mirror.

Chiye Heimiya woke up at around 6 o'clock in the morning, sat on the balcony, basked in the sunshine, and practiced the "Mahavairocana Sutra".

The sun is often the hottest in summer. The early morning sun is different from the fierce sun at noon. It is more like a gentle breeze that wakes up all things.

Now is the best time to practice the Great Sun Sutra.

Because the methods in the "Mahavairocana Sutra" not only include the brilliant sun that subdues demons and ghosts, but also the compassion and wisdom that lead all living beings towards light.

Many practitioners who practice the "Mahavairocana Sutra" always only see the scorching and tyrannical nature of the sun, but fail to see the compassion hidden within it.

The original purpose of Buddhist scriptures was not to be used to kill enemies; these were just incidental things.

However, there are always practitioners who are obsessed with superficial power and ignore the profound Buddhist principles within.

If you deviate by one step, you will go astray and the Buddhist teachings will be turned upside down.

As for his "Vajra Sutra", it has reached a threshold that is difficult to cross easily. When he makes progress in practicing the "Buddha Nirvana Picture", perhaps that will be the time for him to completely become a Vajra in the world.

Around nine o'clock, Pinggong Qianye finished his training, took a bath, had breakfast, and when he arrived at the temple, Ruyi had already arranged everything.

Pinggong Qianye watched from the side for a while and made a decision in his heart.

He is going to travel during the summer vacation, so he can ask Ruyi to help look after the temple.

Generally speaking, nothing big happens in the temple, and most of the time people just chat with the believers.

As for funeral matters, Ruyi has been practicing in Kichijoji for many years and can handle these issues calmly by himself.

When Pinggong Qianye told Ruyi about this decision, the fiery gaze in his eyes almost made Pinggong Qianye unable to bear it.

"Master Liansheng, please leave the temple to me!"

Ruyi nodded solemnly and answered with certainty and confidence.

Does such entrustment and trust mean that he is one step closer to becoming a monk of this temple?

Habit is a terrible force. Hase Hideichi and Akechi Mitsuhide used this sentence to admonish him many times.

He said that as long as he could keep persisting, even if Master Liansheng did not accept him as a disciple in the end, he would definitely guide his practice.

It was also at this time that he realized that Master Liansheng was actually quite short of money.

Unfortunately, he didn't have much money, otherwise he would be willing to use all his money to offer to the Three Jewels.

Senior brother has money, but his money is also the temple’s money... It’s a bit confusing.

There is usually nothing important happening in the morning at Weilian Ancient Temple. Pinggong Qianye is responsible for preaching the scriptures, and Ruyi is responsible for chatting with the elderly believers to relieve their boredom. It can be said that they each have their own responsibilities.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, when Pinggong Qianye was drawing amulets, a group of girls who looked young came outside the temple.

There were six people in their group. When they arrived at the main hall of the temple, the chattering sounded a bit noisy, forcing Pinggong Qianye, who was in a side hall, to come out to take a look.

There are 6 girls in front of him, but he only knows one, Lianghua.

"Hiramiya-san... No, this is a temple, you can't be so rude..."

Suzuka Haruhi took small steps forward, wanting to interact with Hiramiya Chiya, but she was at a loss as to what to do, "Hiramiya-san, how should we address you in the temple?"

"Master Liansheng."

Ruyi, who was standing aside, gave the answer on behalf of Pinggong Qianye.

He was very familiar with this situation. In the past, when he went out with his master, whenever someone asked about his master's Dharma name and how to address him, he was the one who answered the questions.

Every time this happened, his master would be in a good mood and smile.

"Wow, this is the Master Liansheng from the promotional video. He looks so young and handsome!"

"Yes, the judges of the "Beauty Book" really have no vision. How could a monk as beautiful as Master Liansheng not be included in the book so that more people can appreciate him?"

"It's a good thing we saw that promotional video, otherwise the sisters would have missed such a luxurious meal."

Before Suzuka Haruhi could say anything, the girls around her started talking.
