Chapter 191 Treasure Sword Da Shitian and Treasure Sword Great Freedom
"Is there really no way to kill the cannibal?" Ating asked tentatively.
"It's a pity..." Zong Hai smiled bitterly and shook his head, "As far as I know - not yet."
"Maybe there is a way to kill the cannibal ghost, but the monk has not found it yet."
"The above is all the information that the monk knows about cannibals."
When Zong Hai and Xian Hai finished telling all the information they knew about cannibals, the pot of vegetable porridge had just been eaten completely by four people.
While the four of them were talking, they had finished their dinner without knowing it.
"Okay..." Zong Hai stood up with a smile, "We've finished eating, and we've finished chatting about serious matters. Are you two donors interested in taking a good tour of this temple?"
"Since the two donors arrived at the small temple today, they rushed directly to drink water and take a bath. They didn't even have time to take a good look at the small temple."
"If the two donors are willing, the young monk will be very happy to show you around."
"The two donors have just heard so many serious things. Now it's great to do something that can relax your mind."
After listening to Sokai's suggestion, Ogata and Atachi looked at each other.
Then they nodded together.
"Then..." Ogata said softly, "I'll help you."
…
…
Xianhai went to wash the dishes.
Sokai led Ogata and Atachi to visit the Tenmanji Temple.
The first place Zonghai took Ogata and the two to visit was the Buddhist hall of Tenmanji Temple.
The Buddhist hall of Tenmanji Temple is not big, and it will feel crowded if about twenty people are crammed into it.
There is only one Buddha statue enshrined in the Buddhist hall.
Zong Hai and Xian Hai should have cleaned the Buddhist hall very diligently on weekdays, so whether it was the Buddha statue or the floor of the Buddhist hall, everything was spotless.
Ogata and Atachi do not believe in Buddhism and have little research on Buddhism, so they do not know what kind of Buddha is the Buddha enshrined in the Tenmanji Temple.
"Sokai." Ogata asked Sokai, "What kind of Buddha is this Buddha you worship?"
"Fudo Mingwang." Zong Hai said without thinking.
Ogata has heard of the name Fudo Myōō, although he has only heard of this name. He has no idea what kind of Buddha Fudo Myōō is.
As for Omachi, who was standing next to Ogata, when he learned that the Buddha in front of him was Fudo Myooh, his handsome eyebrows slightly raised, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
…
…
There was nothing interesting to see in the Buddhist hall. After Zonghai took Ogata and Omachi around the Buddhist hall, he led them towards the vegetable garden located to the east of the Buddhist hall.
"This is the vegetable garden that the monk is proud of." Zonghai introduced to Ogata and the others with a smile.
"The area is so big... In addition to cabbage, there is also rice..." Ah Ting sighed in a low voice, "Did you and Xianhai plant these together?"
"That's right. After Xianhai took refuge in my Buddha, I slightly expanded the vegetable garden and planted some rice and cabbage."
"Thanks to this vegetable garden and the well, Xiaoseng and Xianhai are barely able to be self-sufficient in their daily food and drink."
After taking the two of them to take a brief look at the vegetable garden, Zonghai led Ogata and the others towards the back hall.
While leading Ogata and the two towards the back hall, Amachi asked Munekai doubtfully:
"Zonghai." A-Machi pointed to the west, "Isn't there a small ancestral hall to the west of the Buddhist hall? Won't you take us to see that small ancestral hall?"
"Oh, that..." Zong Hai, who was walking in front, said softly, "There is nothing in that ancestral hall, nothing good to see."
"If the two donors are interested in that ancestral hall, then the young monk will take you to see it."
After saying that, Zong Hai turned and walked toward the west of the Buddhist hall.
To the west of the Buddhist hall stands a small ancestral hall.
The door of the small ancestral hall was unlocked, so Zong Hai pulled the door open and opened it.
This ancestral hall can really be described with the idiom "small and exquisite", and it is enough to feel crowded when 3 people are crammed inside.
There should have been a Buddha statue on the altar in the ancestral hall.
However, there is no Buddha statue on the altar of this ancestral hall. Instead, there is an empty knife rest.
"Knife rest?" Ogata raised his eyebrows.
"Originally, there were two precious swords enshrined in this ancestral hall." Zong Hai said softly.
Looking at the empty knife holder, Zong Hai had a look of reminiscence on his face.
"I have a mentor who led me into Buddhism."
"Two years ago, after witnessing the villagers on the island turning into cannibals one after another, my mentor felt extremely sad for the suffering of the islanders and decided to find a way to kill the cannibals."
"My mentor, he tried many methods."
"Including--forging knives."
"My mentor, he plans to forge a knife that can kill cannibals."
"My mentor believes that if you inject Buddhist power into the knife, you might be able to kill the cannibal."
"So when we were making the sword, my mentor and I kept reciting Buddhist scriptures to the sword."
A faint bitter smile appeared on Zong Hai's face.
"Just thinking back to those days makes my scalp numb... The young monk has recited Buddhist scriptures to many people in his life, but this is the first time he has recited Buddhist scriptures to a sword that has not yet been formed and is still in the casting stage."
"Anyway, in the end - the knife was successfully cast."
"My mentor made a total of 2 swords, a dagger and a wakashi."
"According to my mentor, he poured all his lifelong learning into these two swords, and these two swords are also the highest masterpieces of his life."
"My mentor named that fighting knife - Da Shi Tian."
"Name that wakizashi - Great Freedom."
"What a pity..."
Zong Hai let out a long sigh.
"These two swords, on which my mentor devoted his whole life, still failed to cause any damage to the cannibals."
"Seeing that the two knives that I had worked so hard to build were not put to use, my mentor also felt depressed for a while."
"After enshrining the Great Buddha and the Great Freedom in this ancestral hall for a period of time, they were given to his friends by their mentor."
"Friend?" Ogao looked regretful, "Who were these two knives given to?"
"The village chief of Fenghe Village, Kinnosuke, the one I just told you about, issued a call to gather villagers from all the villages on the island in Fenghe Village, and built wooden walls to isolate the cannibals.
That outstanding person."
"Kinnosuke has a deep friendship with his mentor."
"Chinosuke also values these two swords given by his mentor very much."
"These two swords should be well kept by Konosuke now."
"Have you already given it to someone else..." Ogata sighed softly, "I originally wanted to see what the sword made by your mentor looks like..."
As soon as Ogata finished his sigh, Atachi said softly "Ah" beside him.
Then Chao Zonghai asked anxiously:
"I worship the Fudo Myogo, and I know how to forge swords...Are you from the Tianxiang Sect?"
