Conan's Almighty Extraction

Chapter 228 The Legend of the Five Towers (5)

Several days have passed since the case where Mr. Dongtian was cleared of suspicion, and before he knew it, it was another weekend.

A few days ago, Xiaolan guessed a puzzle in a magazine correctly and got a free travel opportunity, so everyone went to Shizuoka County to play together.

Outside the gate of Huankuan Temple, Xiaolan stretched her waist and exclaimed: "The air here is so fresh, it seems that it's good to go to the mountains once in a while."

Conan nodded, and echoed, "Yes, thanks to sister Xiaolan, you answered the puzzles in the magazine correctly, so we can come out to play."

"Tch, if I had known it was such a place, I wouldn't have come here. I'm so bored to death."

Kogoro Mori looked at the slightly dilapidated temple and couldn't help yawning. Just as he was about to smoke a cigarette to refresh himself, an uncle with a broom and dustpan came over and reminded: "I'm sorry sir, our temple Smoking is prohibited.”

"That's right, that's really embarrassing." Mori Kogoro was taken aback for a moment, and then put away the cigarettes.

The uncle chuckled, and said with a hint of disappointment: "You are right, for tourists who come to travel, this place may be really boring."

"There is absolutely no such thing," Xiaolan waved her hand, and praised sincerely: "It is difficult for people who usually live in the city to see such a beautiful scenery. I think that after coming here, I feel a lot more comfortable in my heart. Woolen cloth."

"Oh? If it helps you, that would be great."

The uncle seemed a little surprised, and then introduced himself: "By the way, my name is Shigekichi Okabe, and I am a staff member of the temple. If you don't mind, let me show you around."

"Okay, then please."

Xiaolan happily agreed, and then everyone, led by Uncle Okabe, visited this ancient temple.

"This temple was built 400 years ago. Because of its long history, there are relics from each era. For example, in the grass on the side of the five-storied pagoda, there is a mouth that was still used by people until the middle of the Edo period. the ancient well."

While admiring the simple and unsophisticated buildings in the temple, Bai Yanzhenyu asked casually: "Then why didn't it be used later?"

"Because the well suddenly dried up. It is said that a girl who lost her love cried for three days and three nights in front of the well. Later, her tears were not enough to flow, so she used up all the water in the well. .”

Uncle Okabe laughed, and answered Shiraiwa Maha's question with a story that has been circulating all the time. Obviously, he didn't know the real reason.

Not long after, Uncle Okabe led everyone to a five-story tower with a red main body, and introduced: "This is the five-story tower I just mentioned. There is a very scary legend about it."

Xiaolan looked at this simple and elegant tower, and asked curiously: "Mr. Okabe, what kind of legend is it?"

"At the beginning of the Edo period, after the original abbot of the temple passed away, a young monk took his place, but later he fell in love with a woman at the foot of the mountain, broke the precepts, and eloped with that woman. "

"I don't know if it was because of ghosts and gods. He was captured by a big eagle. Later, his body was hung on the tip of the five-storied pagoda."

"Later, in the middle of the Edo period, there was also an abbot who did not abide by the rules. He sold all the daily necessities in the temple and indulged in wine and sex every day. However, one day he suddenly disappeared. After a few days Afterwards, he was found hanging on the top of the protrusion, and died of exhaustion."

"Since then, as long as someone breaks the precepts in the temple, this five-storied pagoda will start to cause trouble."

Uncle Okabe told these stories in a low tone on purpose, making Xiaolan, who was afraid of ghosts, turn pale with fright, and looked around, as if afraid of ghosts suddenly coming out to haunt her.

At this moment, in the waist-deep grass behind everyone, there was a sudden sound of branches breaking.

Mori Kogoro and Xiaolan looked back and saw an old monk with a wrinkled face. They were startled and shouted in panic: "There is a ghost!"

Hearing the shouts of Mori Kogoro and Xiaolan, the old monk's cheeks twitched slightly, but he didn't accuse them of being rude, but looked at the restrained Uncle Okabe, and reprimanded dissatisfiedly: "Okabe, What do you want to investigate when you bring your child here this time?"

Uncle Okabe smiled awkwardly, and quickly explained: "Abbot Danhai, don't get me wrong, they are just here for sightseeing."

Danhai host glanced at Bai Yanzhenyu and others, then snorted coldly: "Hmph, these suspicious guys can't believe it at all, you'd better not let outsiders in casually."

"But, sightseeing temple temple."

Before Uncle Okabe could finish his words, the host Danhai changed his face and said angrily: "Nonsense, have you forgotten that the temple was turned upside down because of this? Sooner or later, the gods will give the most to the unfaithful Severe punishment, wrongdoing and evil will have bad consequences."

After leaving these words, Danhai host left here, leaving Shiraiwa Maha and others looking at each other in blank dismay.

Baiyan Maha's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "Mr. Okabe, from the abbot's reaction, did something happen in the temple?"

"Oh, that's it."

Uncle Okabe sighed and explained: "Actually, this temple is now owned by the sightseeing company. They are planning to build this area into a theme park. The abbot said he was cheated and insisted on opposing it, so now That’s what it looks like when you see tourists.”

"Stop joking, even if this is the case, you can't just scare people casually, Xiaolan, Maha, let's go!"

Mori Kogoro was not interested in going to the temple, but he was scared by Danhai's host and humiliated in front of the crowd, so he had an excuse to leave here, and walked out of the temple pretending to be angry.

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Okabe, my father's temper is not very good." Seeing Mori Kogoro leave impolitely, Xiao Lan immediately apologized to Uncle Okabe.

"Where, if we really want to say it, we are wrong."

Uncle Okabe didn't care, but asked with some expectation: "By the way, is your father the famous detective Mori Kogoro?"

Xiaolan nodded and replied, "That's right, my father is indeed a detective."

After hearing this, Uncle Okabe was very happy, and said with a smile: "Haha, he is that famous detective. Great, now I have something to tell my grandson."

Shiraiwa Maha and the others glanced at each other. They didn't expect Kogoro Mori's fame to spread to such a remote place. After chatting with Uncle Okabe for a few words, they left and followed Kogoro Mori back to the hotel.
