Chapter 2042 2050 [Sniper's Gratitude]
“Hahaha, did I scare you?” The temple manager saw the change in Xun Zhengwan’s expression and said happily:
“This ancient well has been in use since the temple was built four hundred years ago, until the middle of the Edo period, when the bottom of the well suddenly dried up and it was abandoned.
"Actually, what I just told you is just one of the legends. Another more popular legend is that a girl cried beside a well for three days and three nights after she broke up with her lover. The water at the bottom of the well turned into her tears and flowed out, so the well dried up. In short, the meaning is similar."
Xun Zhengwan: "..." It's quite different! One is a tragic love story, the other is a horror movie... What's wrong with these Tokyo people!
Anyway, it is indeed a story that can be used to kill time.
While chatting, they followed the path to the bottom of the five-story pagoda and looked at the old tower.
The temple administrator looked up at the five-story pagoda with a serious expression: "In fact, there is also a very scary legend about this pagoda."
Xun Zhengwan thought of the story just now: "The woman committed suicide in the well, and the man committed suicide in the building?"
The administrator shook his head. "This is a legend from the early Edo period. It is said that after the old abbot of this temple passed away, a young monk was appreciated by the abbot and took over his job, but later he fell in love with a girl down the mountain.
"The young monk broke his vows and eloped with the girl. However, perhaps this blasphemous act angered the gods, and during his escape, a huge eagle captured the monk. When the young woman saw him again, the monk had been hanged on the top of the five-story pagoda, on the protruding eaves."
Jiang Xia: “…” It matches the dry well very well. Could it be that they were not made up by the same person?
Seeing him intently looking at the top of the pagoda, as if attracted by the history of the temple, the sweeping monk continued with more devotion: "Later, in the middle of the Edo period, another abbot who did not abide by the rules appeared here.
"This abbot sold the temple's property and spent his days hiring prostitutes and drinking. The monks under him dared not speak out. However, one day, his figure suddenly disappeared. A few days later, when people saw him again, they found that he had also been hanged on the corner eaves of the pagoda."
The administrator often acts as a tour guide and speaks with great vigor.
Two eavesdropping snipers on the roof: "..."
Although they knew it might be a fabrication, the two of them still subconsciously turned their heads and looked at the corner eaves that were sticking out only a few meters away from them.
…It’s a bit scary to listen to live ghost stories in a place like this.
Cohen whispered: "It's better to be a little scary."
This way tourists might not go upstairs.
Chianti: "..." Uzzo is afraid of ghosts and gods? Why does she not believe it? That guy treats people as toys every day, and he is just short of becoming a ghost himself.
The temple administrator continued his story, and his expression became extremely gloomy as he continued his story: "From then on, whenever someone broke the temple's precepts, this five-story pagoda would start to cause trouble."
Jiang Xia thought thoughtfully: "It's really magical. It would be great if I could go into the tower and take a look."
Chianti: “?!”
Cohen: “!”
Xun Zhengwan got goosebumps after listening to the story just now, and he didn't want to step onto this platform at all.
He snorted coldly: "After more than four hundred years, this tower might have already become a dangerous building. Only a fool would think of wandering in there."
Jiang Xia felt that the murderous aura on the rooftop had become a little stronger.
His eyes lit up slightly, and he was about to ask Xun Zhengwan to keep trying, but at this moment, he turned around and saw a figure in the bushes.
Xun Zhengwan was startled and turned his head to look behind him following Jiang Xia's line of sight. He saw a man in an ancient monk's robe standing there quietly less than a meter away from him. He had a thin, dry, and scary face like a ghost.
"ah--!!"
He was shocked and his first reaction was: the two unlucky monks who were hanged are back!
Xun Zhengwan grabbed Mrs. Xun and hid behind the temple administrator: After all, this guy has been in the temple all year round, maybe he can exorcise evil spirits.
When passing by Jiangxia, he pushed someone back calmly: Sending a teammate as a sacrifice can delay for a while!
The series of movements are as smooth as flowing water.
It was not until he shrank behind him that the temple administrator came to his senses and looked at the monk who suddenly appeared: "Master Tanhai?"
He looked at the old monk's gloomy face, vaguely understood something, and explained to Jiang Xia and the others with an awkward smile: "Don't worry, this person is not a ghost. He is the abbot of our Huankua Temple."
Abbot Danhai snorted coldly. His eyes fell on the elegantly dressed Mrs. Xun, and then looked at Curacao who looked like a social animal behind her. He said in a bad tone: "What are you here to inspect again? Give up. I can't let you continue to reform!"
The temple administrator was startled: "What a misunderstanding, Master! They are just tourists who came here to visit, not members of that company."
Abbot Danhai glared at him as if he were a fool and said, "You believe what he said? I told you not to let anyone in, but you ignored my words?"
The temple manager had just found the joy of being a tour guide after a long time. When he heard him say this, he couldn't help but say, "But suspending business just to prevent President Oda from doing so is putting the cart before the horse. We are doing this for the sake of our guests..."
Abbot Danhai: "What guests! It's because we invited guests without permission that we attracted that guy's covetousness!"
After his rage, he suddenly calmed down and said gloomily, "But don't worry too much. Sooner or later, the gods will punish the despicable people. There will be bad consequences for doing evil. Just wait and see. The gods are on our side."
After saying that, he didn't bother any more and left on his own with his hands behind his back.
The temple administrator looked at his back and sighed helplessly.
Jiang Xia looked around the two of them and began to pry into the secret: "Is the business situation here not good?"
The temple administrator nodded and said, "Strictly speaking, our temple is now owned by a tourist company. President Oda plans to connect this place with the amusement park to build a theme park.
“The abbot is old and doesn’t understand these things very well. I heard that he was deceived by sweet words, and the temple fell into the hands of President Oda.
"So when the renovation plan came down, the abbot was strongly opposed to it and was very hostile to outsiders. He always felt that everyone was trying to deceive him - just like what happened just now."
Xun Zhengwan felt completely humiliated when he remembered how he had just been frightened by a human.
Coupled with the old abbot's attitude, he was even more dissatisfied and glared at Jiang Xia: "What does it have to do with us if he was cheated! Look at what kind of place you are looking for. Instead of sightseeing here, you might as well go shopping. Let's go!"
...Finally he found a reason to leave here with a clear conscience.
On the rooftop, two pairs of eyes looked at Xun Zhengwan with complicated expressions.
After a long while, Cohen whispered, "He is such a selfless and kind person."
Chianti: “…”
really.
