At eleven o'clock in the morning, on the way to Nakamura's house.
On the moving Iveco, Nakamura Takuishi replaced the restless Kawaguchi Kayo and sat in the driver's seat to drive.
Shu Yunwen was sitting behind the driver's seat. Tsukamoto Sumi was sitting aside with Loli Ai in his arms. He turned his head and glanced at Kawaguchi Kayo and Kawaguchi Satoshi who were sitting in the back, and asked: "Yunwen-kun, what do you mean?
, is the Buddha insect...actually an artificial spiritual creature?"
"Yes, that's right." Shu Yunwen nodded and educated his sweet girl:
"...The so-called Buddha Worm, the full name should be Evil Buddha Worm, is a method developed by evil Buddhist monks to fool the people, increase their faith, and strengthen their faith..."
After Shu Yunwen finished speaking, Tsukamoto let out an "Ah!" and said in surprise: "Don't Buddhists advocate salvation and compassion? How can you still study such things?"
"Compassion? Haha..." Listening to Tsukamoto Shumei's words, Shu Yunwen chuckled and said disdainfully, "Sumei-chan, you are overthinking. The so-called teachings you see are all made by Buddhism for ordinary people.
You see, the actual Buddhists are not that noble. They are compassionate on the surface, but secretly do nothing. They even deliberately create disasters, chaos, etc., and then try to calm down the disasters. Their purpose is nothing more than faith..."
When Shu Yunwen said this, he paused for a moment and then continued: "The origin of Buddha insects can be told from a verse in the Buddhist book "Bini Daily Use" -"
"——The verse says, 'Buddha sees eighty-four thousand insects in a bowl of water. If he does not uphold this mantra, it will be like eating the flesh of all living beings.' The mantra says, 'Om bindsiparamanishaha.' This
The original meaning of the verse is to express that there are many microorganisms in the water. Silently reciting the water purification mantra before drinking water can filter out the larger microorganisms. It is out of compassion. However, later, some evil Buddhist cultivators wanted to promote this
The teachings created a bug that lives in water and can make people sick, which is the Buddha Bug!"
"...After the emergence of the Buddha Worm, the promotion effect of the Water Purification Mantra was very good, so these evil Buddhist cultivators began to use other crooked ideas, and even developed a method to spread the Buddha Worm with a Buddha statue as its body.
The evil Buddha statue!”
After Shu Yunwen finished speaking, Kawaguchi Kayo said "ah", hugged Kawaguchi Satoshi tightly, and asked stammering: "...the Buddha statue that spreads Buddha bugs? Is this true?"
"Of course it's true!" Shu Yunwen nodded and continued to explain: "...that kind of evil Buddha statue is made of human blood and (huo) earth into mud. After the Buddha statue is formed, the female worm is removed using special techniques.
Entrusted in the Buddha statue, the female worm will then breed larvae, and the larvae will enter the bodies of the surrounding people, making people sick, and even infect others..."
"Ah? Is this... still contagious?" Tsukamoto Sumi, Loli Ai, and the others turned to look at Kawaguchi Kayo and her son in surprise, while Shu Yunwen nodded and said:
"It is indeed contagious. There was a sect in ancient China called the White Lotus Sect. They often used this method to create evil Buddha statues of Mingwang or the Inanimate Mother, spreading Buddha insects on a large scale and creating plague-like disasters - but, Ms. Kawaguchi
The Buddha bugs on their bodies should not be widely 'infectious', and judging from their 'disease' conditions, this kind of Buddha bugs are not too strong..."
According to Shu Yunwen's observation, the Buddha bug on Kawaguchi Kayo's body has obviously been present for some time. If it is highly contagious, it is estimated that there has been a plague-like situation in the places she walked.
Since it has not appeared now, it means that it is not contagious or has a special infectious agent.
Shu Yunwen was thinking wildly in his mind, and continued: "...It's just that doctors can't cure this 'disease' at all, and will only keep getting worse, unless there is a specific insect-purifying spell to purify the Buddha insects, or a senior monk uses it to purify the Buddha insects."
The relics are forcibly exterminated. In addition, the only way to solve the problem is to smash the evil Buddha statues and kill the female insects..."
After Shu Yunwen finished speaking, Nakamura Takashi who was driving couldn't help but asked: "Then... Mr. Yunwen, can you get rid of the Buddha bugs on Kayo and Xiao Cong?"
"Well... it's okay to suppress it temporarily, but if you want to solve it completely, you still have to find the evil Buddha statue..." Shu Yunwen was slightly stunned, heard what Nakamura Takashi meant, and said with a smile: "Mr. Nakamura, you
Don't worry, you are Nami-chan's family, I will definitely not ignore this matter..."
In other words, solving this type of problem is originally the responsibility of the ghost wizard inheritor.
Even if a stranger encounters this kind of thing, Shu Yunwen will help solve it, not to mention that the one who encounters the problem is one of his own.
"That's good...Thank you so much, Lord Yunwen."
Nakamura Takuishi looked grateful, and Kawaguchi Kayo also thanked him: "...then I'll leave it to you, Master Yunwen. Xiao Cong, please quickly say thank you to Master Yunwen..."
"Easy to say, easy to say..."
Shu Yunwen smiled and nodded, and then asked curiously: "By the way, Ms. Kawaguchi, have you been to any temples in the past two or three months?"
"Well..." Kawaguchi Kayo thought for a moment before speaking, "Sir Yunwen, as for the temple, my husband and I brought Xiao Cong back from Nara to visit relatives three months ago. At that time, I took Xiao Cong with me.
I visited seven temples, including Kurama Temple, Kiyomizu Temple..."
Kawaguchi Kayo mentioned the names of the temples he had visited: "...except for this, I have never been to other temples..."
"The problem should be within these temples..." Shu Yunwen nodded, and then asked casually, "By the way, Ms. Kawaguchi, and Mr. Nakamura, have you heard of these temples? What are they?
Something weird?"
After Shu Yunwen finished speaking, Nakamura Takuishi said "uh" and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yunwen, I went to Tokyo with my parents when I was in junior high school. Later, after I got married and had children, I only came back occasionally. I don't care much about these.
Clearly... Kayo, you grew up in Kyoto, do you know anything?"

, said, "By the way! Aunt Duohui must know!"
"Aunt Tae?" Nakamura Takuishi was stunned when he heard this, and then explained to Shu Yunwen, "Aunt Tae's name is Yamakura Tae. She is a good friend of my mother. She usually likes to go to the temple to burn incense and has many pilgrims.
The group is really well-informed about this kind of information..."
After Nakamura Takuishi finished speaking, Kawaguchi Kayo immediately said: "Mom said that Aunt Tae will be here today, and we will find out directly by asking then."
After Kawaguchi Kayo finished speaking, he turned to look at Shu Yunwen and said: "By the way, Lord Yunwen, brother, regarding the Buddha bugs on Xiao Cong and I, please keep it a secret from my mother and the others. I don't want them to worry about me...
"
"Uh... okay." Shu Yunwen nodded and agreed.
…
At 11:30 in the morning, inside Sannoji Temple in Kyoto.
In the main hall of the temple, Conan, Uncle Maori, Xiaolan, and Yuanzi finished their worship. Uncle Maori said with emotion: "The Buddha statues here feel very primitive. It is indeed a temple that has been inherited for 800 years..."
After Uncle Maori finished speaking, Xiaolan and Yuanzi nodded in unison, while Conan had a look on his face——
By the way, the craftsmanship of the Buddha statues here looks very new at first glance. It is obviously from modern times, okay?
Xiaolan and the others have really bad eyesight!
Conan murmured in his heart and wandered back and forth in the hall curiously. When he saw a shrine, he stopped involuntarily——
By the way, the material of this shrine seems to be very high-grade sandalwood!
Even a shrine is made of sandalwood. Wouldn’t the Buddha statue in the shrine be...
Conan thought about it and climbed up to the table with some curiosity. He opened the door of the shrine and took a look. He saw two old but very clean Bodhisattva statues on the left and right inside, and a large space in the middle. It was obviously
for other statues.
Conan was observing when he heard Xiaolan's voice coming from behind: "Ah! Conan! What are you doing? Who told you to mess with things in the hall?"
As Xiaolan spoke, she quickly walked to the shrine and hugged Conan down. Yuanzi curled her lips and also taught him a lesson with her hands on her hips: "You brat! This is the main hall of the temple, where the gods and Buddhas live. You can cause trouble casually, so be careful.
You will be punished by God!"
"Sonoko, don't talk nonsense!" Xiaolan hugged Conan, with a worried look on her face. Uncle Maori snorted, looked at Conan's head, and muttered "Nonsense brat", and then only heard behind him
Long Yuan's voice came:
"Buddha will forgive people's unintentional offenses, let alone children, so don't worry, nothing will happen..."
Hearing Long Yuan's voice, Conan, Uncle Maori and others turned their heads and looked over, only to see Long Yuan standing at the door of the hall, looking at them.
When Uncle Maoli saw this, he laughed dryly and then scratched his head and said: "Hello, monk Longyuan. Sorry, sorry, after we packed our things, we just wanted to walk around the temple. I didn't expect this kid..."
"Haha, it's okay!" Long Yuan laughed heartily, waved his hand nonchalantly, and said with a smile, "It's lunch time. I went to the guest room to look for you. I found that you were not there, so I guessed that you should be wandering around in the temple.
Already..."
As Long Yuan spoke, he walked up to the shrine. He first put his hands together to pay homage, then turned to look at Conan and said, "...Speaking of which, little friend, you are pretty awesome. You found the 'treasure house' in our temple right away.
…”
Listening to Long Yuan's words, Uncle Maori, Xiao Lan and the others said "Ah!", not knowing why, but Long Yuan continued to smile and said: "To be honest with you, there were originally three Buddha statues enshrined in this shrine, one on the left.
The Sunlight Bodhisattva statue, the Moonlight Bodhisattva statue on the right, and the stolen Medicine Buddha statue in the middle..."
After Long Yuan finished speaking, Uncle Maori was slightly startled. He thought of the purpose of his trip and immediately asked: "Wait a minute... Practitioner Long Yuan, is the Medicine Buddha statue you mentioned the one you asked me to find?
?”
"That's right!" Long Yuan nodded, then closed the door of the shrine and said with a smile:
"Okay, Detective Maori and everyone else, lunch is ready. How about we go have lunch first and chat while we eat?"
"Okay." Conan, Uncle Maori and others responded, "I'm sorry, I really caused trouble for you."
…
At 11:30 in the morning, Higashiyama District, Kyoto.
On the flower street of Pontocho, Nakamura Takuishi and Kawaguchi Kayo led everyone to stop in front of a door. Then Nakamura Takuishi said: "Okay, Mr. Yunwen, we are here. This is the residence of my parents..."
After Nakamura Takuishi finished speaking, he knocked on the door. Kawaguchi Kayo pointed to a Japanese-style two-story building on Hana Street and introduced with a smile: "...that small building over there is our home.
The tea house is called the Sakura House. It looks like it only has two floors, but in fact there is a basement. There are three floors in total. Under the terrace on the first floor is the Tonghe River, and beyond that is the Kamogawa River——"
"——It's the cherry blossom season now, and it's very beautiful to enjoy the flowers on the terrace..."
After Kawaguchi Kayo finished speaking, Tsukamoto Sumi said "Ah": "Really? Then I must go and take a look when I have time..."
"Tsukamoto-san, if you want to see it, you can do it at any time!" Kawaguchi Kayo smiled slightly, "Mom, she is celebrating her birthday and plans to take two days off. Unless it is the business of an old regular customer, she will definitely not receive guests..."
As Kawaguchi Kayo was talking, he heard the sound of "Come on, come on" coming from the door. Then the door opened and an old lady in a kimono came out. She immediately laughed happily when she saw Nakamura Takuishi.
: "Tuo Shi, you're finally here. Mom really misses you! You said, mom has her birthday today, so you couldn't have come back yesterday. You had to step in and get there..."
As the old lady was talking, her eyes inadvertently glanced at Nami-chan next to Shu Yunwen. She felt her heart tremble, and she stared and said in silence:
"Nami-chan?"
As the old lady spoke, she squatted on the ground, pressed her hands on the shoulders of the snow girl Lolita, and looked at this little face that had appeared in her dreams countless times:
"You're Nami-chan, right?!"
The little snow girl looked at the old lady in front of her and felt a familiar feeling coming from the depths of her soul. She opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but nothing came out. Instead, an ice bead slipped from the corner of her eye.
, "Tick" fell to the ground.
In an instant, the old lady hugged Nami-chan tightly in her arms without hesitation, with a face that seemed both happy and sad, and wailed:
"That's right! You are Nami-chan! You are mom's Nami-chan! Mom misses you so much, mom misses you so much, mom really, really misses you..."
As the old lady spoke, tears dripped down like lines and fell on Nami-chan's hair. Nami-chan could feel that the person in front of her was very familiar, but she tried to remember, but she couldn't remember anything. She could only think of herself.
In the scene where she grew up alone in the mountains of Gunma County, her expression was still dazed, and the ice beads in the corners of her eyes fell to the ground with a "clack", and she stammered: "I, I'm not, I got through the egg."
Coming out, I, I, I didn’t, didn’t…”
As Nami-chan talked, her little head couldn't help but rest on the old lady's shoulder, and she murmured:
