Chapter 137: Asakusa Kaminarimon Kannonji Temple
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Principal Haruo Nishihara gave Wu Liang an extra week off, nominally to let Wu Liang rest at home for a while after being frightened, but in fact he wanted Wu Liang not to appear in school during this time, so as not to encounter reporters or paparazzi who always like to play word games and be tricked out of words, worried about affecting the reputation of the school.
Who can guess this little bit of caution, but for the sake of the free additional week's rest, Wu Liang said that he has a large number of adults and does not care too much about the old fox who has been half buried.
When I came out of the principal's office, I found that even though Principal Haruo Nishihara tried his best to hide the news, there were still many news people with a keen sense of smell who got the first-hand news and tried to enter the school for interviews, but they were blocked outside the school gate by the security guards and the male teachers who were urgently dispatched. Not being able to get in the door is not a problem, a few guys who don't give up catch the students passing by and start indiscriminate interviews, the news has not yet spread, most of the students are asked confused, and there are few one or two well-informed roadside club members who can't say a general charter, which makes the reporters disappointed.
Wu Liang, who walked out of the school gate, did not escape the fate of being surrounded and intercepted, and had to pretend that he didn't know anything, and the reporter couldn't distinguish the truth from the fake, so Wu Liang easily mixed up.
Wu Liang, who had been interrogated all night and wasted a morning and only mixed a small piece of cake in the principal's office, said that he couldn't walk anymore, so he followed the fragrance to find a roadside stall that had just started the fire, and ate 20 red bean stuffed taiyaki in one go.
Wu Liang wiped off the red bean paste on the corner of his mouth, not that he didn't want to eat more, but he could make ten in one pot of the stall, and he would have to wait a little longer if he wanted to eat the next pot! After settling the account, I got into the taxi in the admiring eyes of the boss and went back to my nest with a smoke.
Without saying hello to anyone, Wu Liang went directly into his bedroom, and fell asleep on the bed without taking off his clothes for less than two minutes.
As soon as he slept until the sunset, Wu Liang was woken up by the sudden ringing of the phone, and still grabbed the receiver from the bedside with sleepy eyes: "Moxi!" Moses! Who is it? ”
"Wu, it's me, Yanzi. Haven't you woken up yet? ”
"Oh! Already awakened. Tsuiko, what's the matter? ”
"Didn't you say in the morning that I would recommend a way to ward off bad luck for you? If you have time, you might as well go to Meiji Jingu and Sensoji Temple, both of which have a very long history, and the signature is said to be very accurate. ”
"Huh? Are you serious? How can it work to pray to God and worship Buddha, if everyone can make their wishes come true, then what kind of learning! Let's all go and be monks! ”
"Bastard, you asked me to recommend it, be careful that I draw circles and curse you."
"Ahaha! Don't be angry, I just have nothing to do these days, I'll go and see, thank you for your concern! ”
Hung up the phone in a joke, Wu Liang lay on the bed and pondered, and was said by Nogami Tsuneko as if it had been bad luck in recent times, and the result of catching the joke caused a murder case, and as soon as he returned to his own store in Japan, he was made a mess, and on the way back, he also encountered pirates disguised as regular soldiers. One by one, there have been no good things since the first day of summer vacation.
Ask yourself, Wu Liang doesn't feel like he has done anything bad to hurt nature and reason? Isn't it because he took the treasure from the temple and was cursed by some Indian master to draw a circle???
Meow, anyway, there will be plenty of time for a week off tomorrow, so it's okay to go to the temple and spend a little money for peace of mind!
Meiji Jingu Shrine is forgotten, the eight million gods of Shinto belief still don't care about us, let's go to Asakusa Kannonji Temple tomorrow to have a look!
Grabbed the alarm clock and saw that it was almost eight o'clock in the grandmother's bear, and it was already past the meal, and Ah Xiang upstairs must have cleaned it up, and there was no food to eat. There is no way to find two bags of biscuits, a box of canned beef, and after eating a bite, I go to sleep, and when I fall asleep, I am not hungry!
-------------------------------zzzzzzzzz--------------------------------------
I slept until dawn the next day before I got up, like a decent freshening and dressing up, since I decided to go to the temple to worship then the process must be walked a little, after burning incense and bathing (incense is not, smoked two cigarettes and went through the motions, bathing is real, I washed for ten minutes in the morning!) After changing into clean clothes, Wu Liang set off from his home and rushed to Asakusa Kaminarimon Kannonji Temple in Tokyo's Taito Ward, which is also the oldest temple in Tokyo.
Take a taxi and head straight to the main entrance of Sensoji Temple.
I don't know what kind of activity is there today, but the number of tourists who come and go early in the morning is very large, and follow the flow of people to walk under the Wind and Thunder Gate with a huge lantern printed with "Kaminarimon", it is said that this large lantern is very promising, it is the legendary Japanese industrialist ---- Konosuke Matsushita sent it in order to repay the wish, and the wind god and the thunder god stand at the door as the left and right protectors, which looks very magnificent.
There is a path of about three to four hundred meters between the Wind and Thunder God Gate and the Treasure Gate and the main hall, and on both sides there are small shops selling souvenirs and sacrificial supplies, and there are about 100 of them, and the open space between the buildings is filled with lanterns with different contents.
Wu Liang, who didn't have time to eat breakfast, bought a small box of Qingtuan from a small shop on the side of the road, and inquired by the way, it turned out that today, July 10, is one of the strange (basically every month) fate day created by Japanese Buddhism---- 46,000 days, as the literal meaning, as long as the merit of visiting the shrine once today and tomorrow is equivalent to the merit of visiting the shrine for 46,000 days. The origin is also very interesting, because the Japanese word for "life" is homonymous for "one liter", and one liter of rice has about 46,000 grains of rice, so the merit of visiting the shrine on July 10 is "life" 46,000. The logic is this: the most effective Bodhisattva can obtain a lifetime of peace by "worshipping once in a lifetime", and get the maximum output with the minimum input, faintly revealing a strange smell of "talking about business with Guanyin Bodhisattva".
Eating a very chewy and not too sweet Qingtuan in his mouth, looking at the various businessmen doing business in the temple, the first impression of the entire Sensoji Temple to Wu Liang in addition to the grand scale is that the monks in the temple have recited the good scriptures crookedly, and this momentum of doing business is much more lively than the domestic temples in later generations. However, it is relieved to think that Japanese monks can get married and have children, and they have to find a long-term business for their children and grandchildren to make ends meet!
Walking through the shopping street with an attitude of watching the flowers, Wu Liang bought all kinds of snacks along the way, not to mention anything else, the taste was really good except for the sweetness.
