"Then I dare to ask Master... how much does it cost to make a fortune sign...?" Auntie asked tentatively.
"It depends on your sincerity, but our Asakusa Temple's fortune-telling lottery..." The monk paused, and held out a finger in his sleeve, "Generally, it starts with this number."
"I understand, I understand, a thousand yen, my sincerity is definitely enough!" Auntie smiled and took out her wallet.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't expect that the price of sincerity is the same as that of Strawberry Daifuku. It doesn't seem expensive at all. The charges at Sensoji Temple are quite honest. It is really a temple of conscience, her aunt thought to herself as she paid for it.
"No, it's 10,000 yen." The monk smiled and shook his finger, "This is the uniform fee charged by our Sensoji Temple. The price is fair and the price is fair."
Then the monk immediately retracted his finger and muttered: "I am guilty of sin. It is not my intention to be contaminated with the smell of copper. Don't blame the Bodhisattva and don't blame the Buddha."
The aunt's hand holding the thousand yen suddenly stopped, and her smile froze on her face. The sincerity of one thousand yen is a good deal, but the sincerity of ten thousand yen is a bit expensive... Thinking of ten thousand days
Yuan was enough to cover the food expenses for their whole family for a week, and the meals included chicken legs and roast duck every day. Auntie hesitated.
But then she thought that things between Lu Mingze and Jiajia were about to come to fruition, and they couldn't fail at this last step. Auntie gritted her teeth and slowly pulled out a 10,000-yen bill from the zippered compartment of her wallet.
When the aunt stuffed 10,000 yen into the monk's pocket, the monk smiled and praised his aunt for her vision. He said that he was one of the most skilled people in Sensoji Temple, and his ability to make lottery tickets was second only to his own.
As a master who has passed away, the 10,000 yen visa fee is absolutely worth it. It was my aunt who took advantage of her. She was also trying hard to build up her mind and tell her that she was not cheated or deceived. The master’s visa must cost this price.
, this money is spent so that Lu Mingze and Jiajia can be blessed by Bodhisattva and achieve positive results.
The monk patted his pocket to show that he had indeed received the money, and then he began to mutter some strange spells. Anyway, the aunt couldn't understand it because the monk spoke in Japanese.
Finally, the monk breathed a long sigh of relief, made a gesture of withdrawing his efforts, and smiled slightly at his aunt: "It's done!"
"That's it?" the aunt said in surprise, "then the matter of my son and daughter-in-law is finalized?"
"It's not that simple. What I mean is that we have found a way to resolve it." The monk shook his head, "The main reason why your son and that girl are not getting married is because of your son. Your son is too unreliable."
"Not down-to-earth? How come my son is not down-to-earth?" The aunt pointed to Lu Mingze in the distance, "Master, have you seen what he looks like? Growing up, which relative or friend saw my child and didn't praise him for being a down-to-earth child?
!”
"Ahem, I said solidity, not solidity." The Japanese monk coughed twice, "Isn't the answer given in the signature? The master's intention is too illusory and has not been implemented at all. Maybe the fundamentals of what he pursues are
It’s not what you expected, it backfires, and everything comes to nothing.”
"Master, what you mean is... I have been busy, but in the end, Lu Mingze's mind is not on Jia Jia at all, right?" Auntie's eyes widened.
"That's all I've said. In short, I've informed the donor of the result of the lottery. The rest is up to the donor to figure it out on his own." The Japanese monk suddenly slapped his head, as if he remembered something, "Oh.
By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell the donor. There may be a little bit of fate between the young master and the girl named Jiajia."
"Fate?" Auntie didn't know why.
"Yes, Yuan." The Japanese monk nodded, "Yuan is a very wonderful thing. It generally refers to the invisible but inevitable connection between people or people and things. It is difficult for two people who lack Yuan to truly understand each other.
We have come together and are destined to be together. This is something that outsiders cannot force."
"Then according to what you say, won't my son and Jiajia never be able to walk together?" Auntie was so anxious that she almost jumped.
"No, no, fate is indescribable. Maybe a certain opportunity suddenly arises, but it's not necessarily true. In short, it is better to determine your son's intention first. In everything, sincerity will lead to success, and the same is true for fate." Monk
He said, "I think the donor has not visited the Guanyin Hall yet. When passing the money box in front of the Guanyin Hall, the donor can also form a good relationship with Guanyin. Remember to be more pious when visiting Guanyin Bodhisattva. Maybe Guanyin Bodhisattva will see the sincerity of the donor.
I might just go along with the flow and help the donor."
"I dare to ask Master, how much does it cost to form a good relationship with Guanyin?" My aunt felt nervous when she heard the word "money box" and couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, I am a monk. Can you stop asking monks about money all the time? It will harm my merits, you know!" The monk waved his five fingers in front of my aunt, then immediately took it back, using both hands.
Put your hands together and say silently, "Sin! Sin!"
Fifty thousand yen... My aunt suddenly felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She immediately turned around and left, staggering away. What else could she do if she didn't leave? The lottery was resolved and melted, could it be possible that she still wanted to stay?
Are you here to discuss Buddhism with the master?
As her aunt walked away quickly, she cursed in her heart that Sensoji Temple was such a fucking money trap. She had already paid 60,000 yen without even talking a few words. She had to talk for an hour and she couldn't even mortgage her house here.
?This is simply more blood-sucking than domestic tourist attractions!
"Uncle Abbot, why did that woman run away in a panic? Are you trying to frighten people by raising random prices for foreign tourists again?" The young novice holding a broom came over and complained, "What did you do last time?
I charged them 200,000 yen for a visa at one time, which made them go to the Consumers Association to sue Sensoji Temple. If you continue to charge us arbitrarily like this, we will lose all the popularity of Sensoji Temple!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What are you talking about? The guy got a very bad lottery last time, okay! I feel guilty for accepting him 200,000 yuan to change the lottery for him.
The karma has damaged my merits, so it was a loss-making business!" The Japanese monk became angry, "And this time I only received 10,000 yen for the lottery. The strange thing is that the donor was quite cool when he paid the 10,000 yen.
She was happy, and then I asked her to spend five yen to form a good relationship with the Bodhisattva, but her face suddenly changed and she seemed to refuse."
"Then this donor is indeed quite strange." The little novice monk shook his shiny little bald head, "Perhaps the abbot, uncle, you want to accept 10,000 yuan, but the Bodhisattva only accepts 5 yuan. The donor thinks this
Have you lost ten thousand dollars?"
"You are the only one who has wisdom!" The Japanese monk knocked on the young novice's bald head, then suddenly hugged him and whispered in his ear, "Uncle, I'm telling you quietly, there is a new man coming to our temple today.
People with great luck, you haven't learned the method of fortune-telling and you can't tell. Even the masters and uncles don't dare to collect money from others. The benefactor also brought an invincible and punctual girlfriend to give us the marriage certificate in our temple.
The lot has been drawn away..."
…
Genji Heavy Industries, Xingshenji Temple.
At this moment, all the family heads are gathered here. The eight Sheqi families have never held large meetings so frequently. The storm is coming, the resurrection of "god" is imminent, the moment of decisive battle is coming, and everyone can smell the coming bloody storm.
, in this case, it is reasonable to hold repeated battle preparation meetings, because the battle situation is changing rapidly.
But today's meeting was not led by the heads of the family, but jointly held by the heads of the other surnames... This meeting was not considered a battle preparation meeting, but more like a accountability meeting.
"Parents, forgive me for being stupid, but it's really hard for me to understand what you did... In other words, none of the family heads here can understand your decision last night." The head of the Feng Mo family was the first to speak up. The old man's expression at this moment was as if he was in knots.
Weathered iron stone.
The expressions of the family heads present here are not very good. Before today, they were scattered in various corners of Japan, fully engaged in the task of searching for "gods", but this vital task was suddenly interrupted last night.
The person who issued this order was naturally Yuan Zhisheng, who held the position of head of the family.
"The war against the fierce ghosts has been completely stopped. From now on, the family's focus will be entirely on the goal of finding and destroying 'gods'... These are your original words in the last meeting." Head of the Sakurai family
Said, "But why did you suddenly stop the search plan for the 'god' last night? How will the Sheqihachi family continue to carry out their work in the future? Are we going to sit back and wait and watch the 'god' revive?"
"I heard that the exploration of the Tama River has made some discoveries. The drilling and exploration work has been specially increased in depth and intensity, and it is reaching a critical juncture." The head of the Miyamoto family also frowned slightly, "According to the report sent by Sakurai Masahiko, Jindai
The ruins are likely to be hidden under that land, and the traces of the 'god' are likely to be revealed. Why stop the process at such a critical moment? Isn't this equivalent to raising a flag and surrendering at the enemy's doorstep?
?”
The heads of the families of all surnames began to question Yuan Zhisheng. Although they did not criticize him verbally, the heads of the family did not hide the accusations in their expressions and tone. Even the head of the Inuyama family, who strongly supported Minamoto Zhisheng in the last meeting, also expressed his disapproval.
He sighed deeply. If he could still stand on a united front with Yuan Zhisheng when he called off the war against the fierce ghosts last time, then he couldn't understand Yuan Zhisheng's decision to stop the search for "gods" this time.
.
"We are not waiting for death, and we will never raise the flag to surrender. Indeed, as the head of the Miyamoto family said, we may have found the forbidden door. Maybe behind the door stands the ultimate enemy of our Snake Qihachi family, but
The closer we get to this point, the more cautious we must be in our future actions." Yuan Zhisheng said, "I suddenly got a revelation and realized that if I blindly open that forbidden door, the family may suffer heavy losses.
It is very likely that we will fall into the abyss of eternal destruction.”
Yuan Zhisheng clapped his hands, and a figure walked out from the corner of Xingshen Temple.
"Masahiko?" Sakurai Nanami raised an eyebrow, "Aren't you in charge of the Tama River engineering project? How come you appear in the family?"
The visitor turned out to be Masahiko Sakurai, who had returned to his family from the Tama River.
"Master, I think you should be very clear about the level of this meeting." Fuma Kotaro frowned deeply, "This is the meeting that determines the life and death of the family. Sakurai Masahiko's level should not be qualified to attend this meeting.
"
What Fuma Kotaro said was very straightforward, but what he said was correct. With Masahiko Sakurai's level, he actually had no right to participate in this family head-level meeting. He was not even qualified to observe, but he had been present before the meeting started.
, this was personally instructed by our parents.
"Masahiko Sakurai will not express any opinions at the meeting, and he has sworn on his last name that he will never leak a word of the content of today's meeting to the outside world." Yuan Zhisheng said calmly, "Masahiko Sakurai only
I am attending this meeting as the commander and witness of the Tama River on-site project, and I think as the parent, I have the authority to authorize it."
"Tell me, Masahiko Sakurai, tell us about your team's exploration situation in the Tama River." Minamoto said to Masahiko Sakurai.
Masahiko Sakurai bowed deeply to Minamoto and the family heads and began to narrate calmly. He told the story of the scientific expedition team's encounter in the Tama River, including the iron-rich water spewed out of the drilling well.
The red-yellow mud, the ghost-toothed dragon viper that killed several members of the scientific expedition team, and Minamoto's urgent instructions last night to stop the continued excavation of the Tama River underground.
After listening to Masahiko Sakurai's narration, the expressions of the family heads changed, and Nanami Sakurai breathed a long sigh of relief. She seemed to be lucky that Masahiko Sakurai stopped the excavation, otherwise the members of the scientific expedition team at the Tama River site would
The whole army will inevitably be annihilated, and Shizuo Miyamoto can't hide his excitement. The emergence of taboo creatures such as the ghost-toothed dragon viper means that the civilization of the dragon clan is close at hand. They are about to uncover the story that has been passed down from the age of gods.
What came down was the mysterious veil buried by time and dust.
"The battle with the 'gods' is a war with no retreat. We have already made the best preparations, with the determination to be irreversible." Fuma Kotaro looked directly into Minamoto's innocent eyes, "Is it possible that we have reached this critical moment?
Go ahead, head of the family, do you still want to tell us that you haven't prepared your mind for war with 'gods' yet?"
"Unlike the war with the fierce ghosts, the war with the 'gods' is unavoidable. I know this very well." Gen Zhisheng looked at Fuma Kotaro without hesitation, "But the war should not be blind. We should not go to war blindly.
The purpose is to win this war, not to send our people to die without any rules."
"With all due respect, your kindness has gone too far. You are too young. You have not had the chance to experience several wars, so you have no idea that victory in any war is accumulated with death and corpses."
Fuma Kotaro said, "I think all the tribesmen participating in the war should have this kind of consciousness."
"Then what if we fail to win the war even though we risk the lives of all the tribesmen?" Yuan Zhisheng asked.
