To resign from the agency’s office, Maitreya didn’t think about this matter a day or two, but from before the agency’s office was established, he started to think about it. No matter how beautiful it was, there is only suffering in the end. Buddhism says that all living beings suffer. This is the case.
Maitreya didn’t feel bitter or not, but he felt that the wind cave in his hand would eventually be resolved. The Four Soul Fragments only brought him into this world without Nay Luo, and did not really solve him. He is very clear about this curse.
Because of his identity, he had to use the power of the police station to join the agency. During this period, Maitreya also did a lot of things. Now he meets a Japanese warlock and Jinzhu Mami is sitting here. He feels It's time to leave.
At the moment, Maitreya didn’t tell everyone. First, Feng Si was familiar with the situation in the agency office, introduced him to his colleagues, and talked about the tomb under the agency office and the three zombies inside, before resigning to Superintendent Ashin. .
Before resigning, Maitreya first applied for his own salary. After more than two years, he lived and ate at the agency office. Except for making magic weapons, he had no additional expenses. He had a savings of 30,000 yuan, and the travel expenses to Japan were enough.
Excluding the travel expenses, Maitreya sorted out the swords and instruments he used in the past. Except for two specially ordered ones at a high price, the others were left to Zhong Fabai, Jin McGee and Meng Chao to get to know them all.
After taking care of the matter, Superintendent Ashin did not approve Maitreya’s resignation. Instead, he called him and asked him for a while, hoping to persuade him to change his mind. Maitreya said that he had to go to Japan if he had something to do, and he might be busy. For several years, it is really not good.
In the face of Maitreya who resigned, Superintendent Ashin had no choice but to let him go in the end, but when he left, remember to contact him after he got there. If there is something you can't handle, you will find him.
Maitreya could not refuse, so naturally he agreed and asked for his contact information. Then he did not bother the two masters at all, so he asked Superintendent Ashin to help him get visa tickets.
There are official staff to handle things, and all procedures are naturally relaxed and happy. After Maitreya said goodbye to everyone the next day, he took his belongings, including two strings of Buddhist beads and two magic weapons, four soul fragments and exchanged Japanese currency, and then sat on the road. Airplane in Tokyo, Japan.
Carrying a long wooden box through the customs, after leaving the Tokyo airport, Maitreya sighed a little while looking at the noise of the people and the tumultuous Tokyo city. Then he found a taxi and asked if there were people called Higurashi in Tokyo city. The shrine, there is a sacred tree in the shrine.
Maitreya knows Japanese, but the driver is a little awkward, and he took him around Tokyo for a long time, and finally took him to a ruined shrine in the countryside. He planned to throw it down and press The meter asks for a large amount of travel expenses.
For the driver who cheated himself, Maitreya naturally didn’t have a good face. He took out two Japanese yen, then pulled him off the car, beat him into a pig head, forced him to admit his mistake, and vowed not to cheat people again. Up him.
After letting go of the driver who turned into a pig head, Maitreya stopped riding in his car and stayed directly in the dilapidated shrine. After spending the night, he would look for someone to inquire about the Higurashi Shrine.
At night, in the dilapidated shrine deep in the woods, there was dust and fallen leaves. Maitreya picked up a place casually. It was not too dirty. He meditated on the spot, but did not want to. When the moon was in the middle of the sky, in the dense forest outside the shrine, it was passed on. There was a strange rustle, and there were wisps of Yin Qi coming out.
"Buddha Amitabha!" Maitreya was in a state of tranquility, and felt unusually inspired by the surrounding qi. He noticed that the yin qi came from under a fallen leaf, so he chanted the Buddha's name to inform him.
"Oh, here is a guest!" Under the sound of the Buddha's horn, among the fallen leaves on the ground, an old man with sparse hair and dusty hair emerged, and then he got out of his shriveled upper body, crawled out of the ground, and looked down at the darkness with amazement. White, with broken hair, a young man with a long box leaning on his back.
"It's really rude, coming from Middle-Earth, passing here, and I'm sorry for bothering you." Maitreya opened his eyes and looked at the old ghost under the fallen leaves.
"It turns out to be a monk, it's okay, it's okay, I'm Bai Baiye, and it's been a long time since I saw anyone." The old ghost crawled out from under the dead leaves and waved his hands again and again when he saw Maitreya's politeness.
"When is Lao Zhang? How can he live here? How to become a hundred masters?" Maitreya smiled. This modern city is not the same as the Warring States period, and even ghosts have become friendly.
"While I was alive, I was a farmer in the Kanyong period. Later, when I died in this mountain forest, I became confused and became a Baibaiye." The old ghost Baibaiye scratched his sparse hair, his face a little embarrassed. , It's not clear to be a person, nor is it clear to be a ghost.
"When I was young, I wandered in the mountains and forests, ate some wild animals to satisfy my hunger, and occasionally saw children and gave them directions. They called me Baibaiye. Later, there were more people here, and slowly, There are fewer beasts, and people are not coming. Maybe you have forgotten me!" The old ghost may have not seen people for a long time, chattering for a while, and then fell silent.
"Do you know how many years you have lived?" Maitreya saw the old ghost chattering, and didn't say much. After he didn't say anything, he didn't speak.
"I don't know, don't care about him!" Baibaiye shook his head.
"That's all, because I don't know. I am from the Astronomy Year." Maitreya smiled and didn't say much. He really didn't read the history of Japan very much, and he didn't have many chances. It should be five hundred years after the Warring States period, and this Hundred Master is still a born person of the Tokugawa Shogunate a hundred years later.
"Oh, you are also a ghost? A monster? Or a god?" Baibaiye was a little surprised. In the Astronomy Year, he lived longer than himself, probably more than a hundred years, but why is this guy tasteless
"I am a human." Maitreya shook his head.
"How is it possible, how can people live longer than me, impossible, impossible." Baibaiye also shook his head, expressing his unbelief.
"Really, but I'm looking for a Higurashi Shrine now. In that shrine, there is a miracle tree. Oh, yes, during the Astronomy Year, there was Musashi country, called the Bone Eater Forest." Maitreya thought maybe I can find out something from this ghost and god, so I find out the old place names in the memory that are no longer used in modern times.
"Bone Eating Forest, I have heard that there is indeed a famous shrine there, I know how to go, come, follow me!" Baibaiye heard the words, could not help but suddenly realized, then stood up and led Maitreya to leave.
"Bone Eating Forest, there is still a lot of roads away from me. It used to be a few days to get there. Our place was formerly called Inariqian Village, but now I don’t know what its name is. Gods are already there. Forgotten!"
Maitreya picked up the long box leaning on his back, followed the chattering Baibaiye, left the shrine, walked through the trees, and came to a ditch beside a deserted grassland.
"Wait a while, I'll call you a cat bus, soon." Bai Baiye stood by the ditch, opened his mouth to the sky, let out a howl that ordinary people could not hear, and reminded Maitreya at the same time.
