Uncle Yuan Zhaoen smiled a little lonely.
"When I was young, I didn't want to be the abbot. I wanted to go to the big city for a while. Now that I think about it, I'm a little naive."
"Is that so..."
Fang Jing could only speak in a leisurely manner. He could see that the uncle's mood was a little gloomy when he heard the news of his friend's death.
"Speaking of Yuasa, when I met him for the first time, that guy was a lively young man, I really didn't expect to go so soon..."
Uncle Yuanzhaoen put his hands together slightly, and recited a Buddha.
"By the way, how was his life before he was alive? The environment in Jiling City is much more prosperous than our poor place. If I had known this, I should find a chance to go there to drink with him again and catch up on the old days."
"Uncle Yuasa is a nice person, and he looked good before. Every day I go out, he will greet me."
Fang Jing and Tang Qian are actually not familiar with each other, so at this time, they just talk about people and talk nonsense when they see people.
"He died of myocardial infarction, because it came too fast, and the doctor couldn't save him, but he shouldn't be in pain!"
Hearing what Fang Jing said, Uncle Yuan Zhaoen sighed and said nothing, he lowered his head and muttered "that's good", "this is not bad".
Fang Jing didn't bother him either, one can imagine how he felt when he heard that his old friend passed away.
He tilted his head, was silent for a while, raised his eyes again, and said to the square mirror with a straight face: "I know the reason for your visit, I am afraid it was ordered by Mr. Yuasa and Mr. Kanno, but the unclean temple in Sagiri Mountain It's not good for me to directly intervene; according to the agreement between my ancestors and Mr. Kanno, I will not go up the mountain to fetch things for you, but to be honest... I don't know much about the details."
"No! You're being serious...don't bother, actually, I just need a guide."
"There's nothing wrong with that."
Uncle Yuanzhaoen smiled wryly and said: "I don't want to lie to you, but I really don't know much about that mountain and Yuasa, and what I know is only scratches and halves, maybe you don't know it well... In the past he When I came to my place, I just entertained him for two days and asked someone to take him into the mountain. As for the situation in the mountain, I didn’t ask a word as agreed, and Yuasa didn’t disclose it to me. He told me...it’s best If you don’t know anything, you’ll be safe and sound.”
"Uncle Yuasa said that, I'm afraid he really has his intentions."
Fang Jing also sighed, he guessed that Yuasa did this to protect the Yuan family of Kanazawa Temple.
"By the way, what is the so-called agreement with Mr. Kanno?"
"Hehe... Mr. Kanno's situation is even more mysterious than Yuasa's. I only know that he is a friend of my grandfather. Before his death, my grandfather told me that as long as Mr. Kanno sends someone over, he must treat him well."
Uncle Yuan Zhao'en paused: "Besides, he also told me not to ask too many questions about other things."
"I understand."
Fang Jing thought for a while, then nodded, and continued, "Then can I go to Sawu Mountain now?"
"Don't go today, it's at this point in time, you may miss the opportunity to go up the mountain."
The uncle shook his head: "That mountain is very special... The mountain people in the past were very awed by the mountain of Sawu, thinking that the owner of the mountain doesn't like outsiders entering the mountain at night. Temple, and it is easy to get out of danger."
"Danger?"
"Yes! There may be disasters in the mountains, and there may be 'hidden gods'."
Uncle Yuan Zhaoen showed a serious look, and said righteously: "I believe you know some things, so I won't say more here. It is impossible for Yuasa not to tell you the key things."
"Well! I understand that."
He said that with his mouth, but he had another thought in his heart.
Mr. Kanno, Uncle Yuasa, and this Uncle Yuan Teruen, they all really maintain this sense of mystery, and they are all tight-lipped about important clues.
"It's just... I'm running out of time, and there are still some things I don't understand, so I hope you can explain it to me, uncle."
Fang Jing also said frankly: "If it's not convenient for you, uncle, you don't have to answer, but these things are mostly confusing to me."
"Hehe, I'm about the same as you."
The two looked at each other with a tacit understanding, and smiled at the same time.
"Uncle Yuanzhaoen, let me ask one thing first, what is the so-called 'filthy temple'?"
"The Dirty Temple?!"
Uncle Yuanzhaoen touched the beard on his chin, thought for a while, and then responded slowly.
"This is actually a derogatory name. In fact, the dirty temple is a temple built by the tribesmen. It is a small practice site. You should have heard of the tribesmen. In the past, there were a few people who were discriminated against here. They believe that the sect should belong to the line of Honganji Temple, and they don’t know if there is a deity, but in fact, after such a long time, it was built in Sawu Mountain, and in modern times, that place has long been abandoned.”
Fang Jing finally understood. To put it simply, it was a practice site where the ancient tribal people gathered. It should belong to the lineage of the Pure Land Shinzong of Buddhism in this country, but because it is not a formal Buddhist temple, it has been discriminated against by people. , was demoted as "dirty temple".
As for the "burakumin", they are actually the untouchables of old Japan, that is, the untouchable class and the discriminated against.The so-called tribal people - there are Heyuan people (those who slaughter animals and clean up pollution), Sushi (wandering entertainers who do not engage in production), and villages where untouchables called "Zuduo" gather...
Chapter 30
Hearing what Uncle Yuan Zhaoen said, Fang Jing also roughly understood what the so-called "filthy temple" refers to...
"It's not too early. Kanazawa Temple is actually a place of practice, so we don't stay here. However, our temple also has a 'shukubo', which is open on the street below. Xizuka, you can stay here today." , tomorrow I will ask someone to take you up the mountain."
"Thank you very much then."
Fang Jing didn't expect that Uncle Yuan Zhaoen would be so polite, he directly invited himself to live in the Shufang run by the temple.
The so-called Shubo refers to the lodging places in Buddhist monasteries specially prepared for monks who travel around and worship congregants. During the Edo period, many temples with official backgrounds gradually began to accept ordinary people.
In modern times, the tourism industry is booming, and the temple's Sufang has become a cultural hotel that is promoted to the public.
This unique cultural hotel can provide guests with more diverse services, such as experiencing various cultures through temples, organizing meditation, and transcribing scriptures.
