Chapter 15 Buddha
The sky was a grey brocade, and the drizzle was caressing the earth continuously, slowly washing away the noise and restlessness of the world.
Kira Yoshimitsu was walking on the road wearing Obito's vest, his feet stepping on the delicate rain curtain. The rain slid down the black robe that wrapped his body tightly, like a trickle of time, and the sleeves of the black robe swayed gently in the breeze.
Bang! Bang!
Suddenly, a clear and powerful sound of a wooden fish penetrated the rain, like a morning bell and an evening drum, awakening a certain resonance in Kira Yoshimitsu's heart.
He couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound, and saw an ancient and solemn temple standing quietly by the roadside, with the three big characters "Feiyun Temple" shining brightly on the plaque.
Passing through the solemn mountain gate, Kira Yoshimitsu's eyes met an old monk who was meditating at the entrance.
The old monk did not stop beating the wooden fish, but greeted Kira Yoshimitsu with a deep gaze.
"Young man, it's raining so hard, why don't you come in and take shelter from the wind and rain?"
"Master, I have heard that the moment you step through the mountain gate means you have let go of worldly worries and concerns. You should be respectful and pious to the Buddha. Is that right?"
When the old monk heard this, he opened his eyes and spoke slowly.
"Don't you think that only those who respect Buddha can enter this place?"
"Isn't it?"
“Everyone has Buddha nature, everyone is a Buddha.”
"Visiting a temple is a matter of following one's heart and nature. Why shouldn't one enter?"
Hearing this, Kirara Yoshimitsu no longer hesitated, walked through the mountain gate, came to the old monk, sat down and asked.
"Master, may I ask who is enshrined in this temple?"
"Ryomen Sukuna!"
"Can you tell me more about this?"
"Liangmian Sukuna is the incarnation of Guanyin in folk legends." The old monk said slowly.
"He has two faces, four hands and four legs. According to legend, he once personally destroyed the evil and deceiving ghosts and gods, but was eventually ordered to be conquered by the Emperor..."
Hearing the story of the temple made Kira Yoshimitsu full of thoughts. Raindrops fell on the stone slabs of the temple. Kira Yoshimitsu's heart became extremely calm. He closed his eyes involuntarily and sat on the porch with the old monk, waiting quietly.
"Donor, the rain has stopped."
Kira Yoshimitsu opened his eyes, looked at the mountain gate that seemed to separate humans and gods, and asked the master.
"When we first entered, you said that everyone is a Buddha."
"What is Buddha?"
“You are the Buddha.”
“Why don’t I feel anything?”
“The Buddha is sleeping.”
“Does the Buddha sleep and wake up?”
“Do sentient beings have delusion and enlightenment?”
“How to practice to become a Buddha?”
“No method is needed.”
"Why not?"
“There is no method, that is a good method.”
"What do you mean there is no method?"
“Follow nature and everything will be at ease.”
Upon hearing this, Kira Yoshimitsu slowly stood up, slightly adjusted the Uzumaki mask on his face, and spoke to the old monk.
"Master, thank you for taking me in today,"
“But I only believe in myself.”
At the moment when Kira Yoshimitsu stood up and was about to walk out of the mountain gate, the old monk's voice came from behind.
"Then the donor just needs to believe in himself."
Kira Yoshimitsu stopped and turned around and said to the old monk.
"Master, I would like to borrow something from you."
"If the donor wants it, then take it."
Hearing the answer, Kira Yoshimitsu nodded and stepped out of the mountain gate.
Looking at the clear sky after the rain, Kira Yoshimitsu murmured.
"It seems that Amaterasu has already walked out of Ama-Iwado."
"What a willful god!"
"It really makes me envious..."
In a secret prison in Tokyo, a naked man is rising and falling on the floor. It is Tetsuya Yamagami.
He is challenging his own limits in an almost self-abuse way, with sweat falling like drizzle.
78……105……
After completing today's goal, Yamagami Toru lay on the ground, looking at the closed prison around him. The iron bars at the door locked him in, as if they were two different worlds.
Although the iron bars were completely unable to block it, he only needed to hold his hand on it and use flames to easily melt it.
But at this time, Yamagami Tetsuya was also imprisoned, and he felt an inexplicable sense of security.
"That's right, I don't know what the situation is outside now!"
At this moment, an abrupt voice broke the silence of the prison, like a whisper in the night wind, "Why don't you go and ask yourself?"
Yamagami Tetsuya suddenly heard a hoarse voice beside him. He sat up suddenly as if by reflex and looked around vigilantly. Finally, he fixed his sight on a corner of the prison and pointed his finger in the direction of the sound.
"Who's there?"
Then Yamagami Tetsuya turned his attention to the source of the sound in the prison.
I saw a man in a red cloud and black robe standing in the shadows. He had a vortex-shaped mask on his face, so his true appearance could not be seen.
"What a mysterious guy!"
Seeing the person coming, Yamagami Tetsuya experienced a temporary conditioned reflex, and a feeling of desirelessness surged into his heart. After all, at this moment, it seemed to him that no matter what happened next, it didn't matter.
Thinking of this, he lay down on the ground again.
"Really calm, on the mountain."
The masked man walked out of the shadows and looked at Yamagami Tetsuya who was standing on the ground with an indifferent look on his face.
"Aren't you curious about what people are saying about you now? And what your family situation is like now? Aren't you curious?"
Yamagami Tetsuya glanced at the masked man. At least his ability to understand was still online. Knowing that there were indeed extraordinary beings in reality, if someone could come to the prison without anyone noticing, he was most likely a character who was also extraordinary.
"Tell me, are you here to assassinate me or to win me over?"
The masked man shook his head and did not give a direct answer. He just took out a newspaper from his arms, slowly unfolded it and placed it in front of Yamagami Tetsuya.
The mountain also came over and the news headline came into its sight.
The picture taken on the homepage was a picture of the mother on the mountain kneeling down to apologize in front of the camera.
I am guilty
A complex emotion surged in Yamagami Tetsuya's heart, but then he shook his head vigorously, as if to throw those chaotic thoughts out of his mind, and slowly spoke.
"I don't want to interfere in my family's affairs anymore."
The masked man shook his head and looked at the man in front of him without saying anything. He just pointed at the newspaper to signal the other party to continue reading.
Yamagami Tetsuya followed the other person's finger and looked over, his eyes suddenly widened.
"I am guilty! It was my negligence that caused this situation. I will be more devout in my faith in the Unification Church. I will dedicate the rest of my life to the church to cleanse my sins!"
Seeing that his mother was still unwilling to quit the church and was instead stubborn, Yamagami Tetsuya slowly clenched his fists.
Why?
After something like this happened, would you still stubbornly immerse yourself in the church?
