Chapter 5-144: Bright Sword, Great Wisdom Society (2)
Chapter 5-144 Bright Sword, Great Wisdom Society (2)
Yamakawa Town, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan.
Just after nightfall, a large convoy drove along the Kyushu Expressway from Kumamoto Prefecture.
This fleet consists of about a dozen large semi-trailers, as well as nearly 30 minibuses and commercial vehicles. These cars have a uniform paintwork, the main color is blue stripes on a white background, and there is a very eye-catching logo painted in front of the front of the car, the door, the compartment and other positions: a round blue background, an abstract white rotating Milky Way.
At this time, in a room in a high-rise apartment on the side of the road, several people were observing the convoy with binoculars.
“...... Hmph, the blue background spins the galaxy, it's the guy from the Celestial Church......"
One of them lowered his binoculars and said to his companion, "...... It has been confirmed that the convoy of the Priest Church has entered Fukuoka Prefecture, and it will be reported to Vice President Chiba immediately......"
“...... Got it, Captain, I'll report right away."
While these people were busy, what they didn't notice was that on the ceiling, there was a strange beetle, quietly watching their every move.
This beetle, about the size of a coin, looks like a beetle. However, it has the same camouflage ability as a chameleon, as well as the ability to climb. It stood upside down on the ceiling, as steady as standing on flat ground. Moreover, its current exterior color has completely coincided with the background, and if it does not move, it will not be easy to spot even if it is close.
At this moment, an invisible message emanated from its body.
In the middle of the convoy of the Missionary Church, there was a Honda commercial vehicle, which was the car of Kujo, the head of the Church's intelligence department.
Suddenly, Kujo, who was recuperating in the back seat with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Colleagues, pay attention, the enemy has confirmed our ......" He immediately used the agent template to send out the information he had just received.
Suddenly, all the priests in the entire team received it.
"Hehe, this kind of magic pet given by my lord is really convenient to use......" He sighed in his heart, closed his eyes again, and began to accept the messages from other demon pets.

Great Mandala Temple.
Located in the eastern suburbs of Fukuoka City, this temple is the largest base of the Daichi Society in Kitakyushu and the seat of the Kyushu branch. It has a great influence in the local area.
The founding ancestor of the Great Wisdom Society is called "Nyolai Yuan Zhongzheng", and he used to be a disciple of the Shingon sect of Buddhism, so it is generally believed that this sect is a branch of the Shingon sect, of course, they themselves think so.
However, this sect is too deeply involved in the secular and has developed some more Westernized rituals. This made many Shingon monks very unhappy, but they also had no choice but to use the article "not recognizing their inheritance qualifications" to restrict this sect.
Shingon Buddhism is a kind of Tantra, which is different from the most clear Tai Mi (i.e., Tiantai Zong) and Tibetan Tantra, and is also known as Eastern Tantra. It was founded by the monk Kukai in the 7th year of Hirohito (816) in Koyasan.
However, its origin is also China. Their founding patriarch, the monk Kukai, was an apprentice of the famous Tantric monk Huiguo in the Tang Dynasty. Hui Guo founded the tantric theory of "the golden fetus". He also gave the concept of "Golden Fetus Fuji" to Kukai, who brought it back to Japan and founded the Shingon sect of Japan.
The Shingon sect was then gradually divided into Ono and Hirosawa two streams, and since then the two streams have been divided into a large number of schools, which can be roughly divided into two schools: Shinyoshi and Koyoshi. However, this Great Wisdom Society is an outlier, and neither the New Righteous School nor the Ancient Yi Sect will admit it.
Tantra is the most important sect in Buddhism to pass on rituals, and without the empowerment of the Master, it is not considered a formal monk.
However, this restriction may be useful for traditional monks, but it is obviously very weak for a new religion such as the Great Wisdom Society. You don't admit it's a fart, Lao Tzu just plays by himself. The Great Wisdom Society has started a set of so-called "new tantric" inheritance ceremonies on its own.
This is like the "Three-Self Church" on the mainland, and the "Anglican Church" in Britain is not at all like the Vatican.
But this Great Wisdom Society does have some doorways, and they combine some things from Catholicism, Taoism, and other Buddhist sects into the original content of Shingon Buddhism, and really form a set of their own.
At present, the development speed of this Great Wisdom Society, as well as its international influence, are incomparable to the genuine Shingon Sect. They have 5 million believers in Japan alone, and millions more in other countries. It has surpassed many of the legitimate Shingon sects. Its financial advantage is even more leading.
Of course, this is also the reason for their effective leadership. Since the establishment of this sect, there have been several very powerful presidents in a row, and they can be regarded as amazing figures.
..............................................................................
The Great Wisdom Society has a very clear hierarchy, and the official members among them are divided into sixteen levels.
From low to high, they are: monks, lawyers, lawyers, barristers, young monks, small monks, middle monks, middle monks, big monks, big monks, young monks, young monks, young monks, middle monks, big monks, and great monks.
Appropriate qualifications are required for rank promotion. However, there is another way to promote from the young monk to the senior monk, and it is not only based on seniority to be promoted.
The person in charge of the Great Wisdom Society here is a middle monk and one of their vice presidents, called Ono Daiki.
The level of the great monk is almost imaginary, it is only the level before the senior monk is officially taking office, so the middle monk is the second highest existence.
Among the tens of thousands of monks in the Great Wisdom Society, that is, there are only 8 middle monks, which can definitely be regarded as a high authority.
In fact, with Ono Daiki's thoughts, he didn't want to fight to the death with the newly rising Si Ming Church.
As long as a commander like him who is on the "front line" is not an idiot, how can he not know the details of his opponent? Ono Daiki can climb to his current position, naturally he cannot be an idiot. In the past six months, he doesn't know how many spies he has sent to southern Kyushu, so his current understanding of the Siming Church can be regarded as an expert.
He also knew a lot about the miracles that the church had shown. At first, he thought it was just a magic trick. Later, he also spent a lot of money to hire a few professional magicians to investigate those miracles. However, when these magicians returned, they said that although the same or similar effects could be achieved by using magic, the ones played by the Commanding Church were not magic at all.
So he always thought that it was a manifestation of superpowers.
However, what made him taboo was that the Church of Orders should have a very magical technology, and they could make ordinary people have superpowers as well. Because after their vigorous investigation, the vast majority of priests in the Reverse Priesthood Church definitely did not have superpowers before becoming priests. But after they joined the Celestial Church, they showed superpowers one by one.
This can only mean that the other party has some kind of way to activate human superpowers.
As for the other party's propaganda, "This is the ability given by the great god of the order" and other similar statements, Ono Daiki didn't care about it at all. He didn't believe it. Everyone is a peer, how can this kind of deception to the layman make him believe it.
If the people of the Celestial Church knew about his thoughts, they would definitely cry and laugh.
However, Ono Daiki also understands very well that even if the words given by the gods to this kind of deception are not worth believing, the fact that the other party can make ordinary people awaken superpowers is shocking enough.
It's not a good idea to fight this kind of opponent.
Therefore, he has always opposed a public flip with the Celestial Church. According to his idea, he should have a good relationship with the Celestial Church and try to get this method from them that can mass-produce superpowers. If you don't get this method, don't turn your face with the other person.
Unfortunately, he is not the chairman, and among the several vice presidents, there is a majority who disagree with this opinion. These bald donkeys believe that they should take advantage of the current situation to fish in troubled waters and strive to beat the Si Ming Church to the point that it cannot turn over.
As for the method of "mass-producing superpowers", these people don't believe so much, there is still such a thing in the world. They believe that even if there is such a method, it can be snatched by force.
It was under the influence of this current of thought that the attacks of the previous days took place. This incident was actually directly ordered by Chairman Kameto Ikeda, and he could not interfere at all.
........................................................................
Ono Daiki was calling his men for a meeting at this time.
The room was filled with a herd of bald donkeys, with bright bald heads, and it looked quite spectacular.
"Guys, now the Celestial Sect guy is here again, what do you think?" he asked, looking around.
Although he himself is unwilling to die, but the current situation has reached this point, and he can't help but be unwilling. The Church has once again sent a larger convoy north, which is a demonstration and a gesture.
If he still objects, the position of vice president may not be secure.
You must know that the interior of this Great Wisdom Society is not monolithic. In this kind of church organization without the suppression of the true God, it is the same as any other secular organization. As long as the scale reaches a certain level, it is not normal for factions not to appear. This is called "no faction in the party, all kinds of strange"
There are not a few people who covet his position as vice president. If he is a little more passive in this operation, he will be giving someone a handle.
So, he had to brace himself to preside over the operation.
A sturdy monk said, "...... Ono Satomasa, according to the report of the Okada Group just now, the Priest Church dispatched nearly 1,000 people this time, but this is not a ...... for us at all."
“...... If they send a thousand, we will send three thousand," he said, with a proud face.
Unbeknownst to them, there was also a strange beetle parked on their ceiling, listening to their meeting with relish.
