"This is Bianliang, Tokyo! This is Kaifeng Mansion? It is indeed a prosperous place."
After entering the land of Bianliang, the road became lively. There were villages and towns along the road. It didn't feel like it was so remote before.
"That's natural. There are four capitals in the world: Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo, Henan Prefecture in Xijing, Daming Prefecture in Beijing, and Yingtian Prefecture in Nanjing. Kaifeng Prefecture is where the capital Bianliang is located, also known as Bianjing. All the prosperity and wealth in the world gather here. , naturally the eight streets and nine roads are flowing continuously, and the prosperity is like a grand scene of the capital."
Lu Zhishen said, the prosperity of Tokyo is far beyond what Kansai Fifth Road can match.
"I finally arrived in Tokyo. I heard it's a lot of fun. I have to take a walk!"
Sun Lei couldn't wait any longer and followed the endless flow of people towards Kaifeng Mansion.
"First go to the Daxiangguo Temple with the Sa family! There are many people in Tokyo City, so don't get lost."
Seeing that Sun Lei was about to run away, Lu Zhishen quickly grabbed Sun Lei's shoulder.
"How can you get lost in such a big place? Don't look down on others."
Sun Lei wanted to break free. He could come and go freely in a big city with a population of tens of millions. What was a small Tokyo? Compared with the super metropolises of later generations, this kind of ancient city is really only the size of a palm.
"No, go to the Daxiangguo Temple first, and I'll ask the master to ordain you. The Daxiangguo Temple is the largest temple in Tokyo, so you should be able to buy ordination certificates."
Lu Zhishen ignored Sun Lei at all and asked about the location of the Daxiangguo Temple. He clamped Sun Lei with his vise-like hands and headed towards the Daxiangguo Temple.
After entering Kaifeng Mansion, after walking for a short time, I saw the Bianhe River. When I walked on the huge stone arch bridge, my field of vision suddenly became wider.
"That place is nice, the flowers are so beautiful!"
Sun Lei saw a street full of red lanterns by the river. Because it was already afternoon, many ladies in fancy clothes were leaning out their charming bodies from the attic of the shops, waving various handkerchiefs to attract customers. Yingying Yanyan couldn't let them go. People are fascinated, there are also many flower boats along the river, and it is even more lively above.
"Flower Street and Liumo, many beautiful and famous concubines, Chu Palace Brothel, infinite romantic singers! The book is not deceiving me!"
Sun Lei struggled and wanted to see the flower streets, Liuxiang and brothels in Tokyo.
It's a pity that Lu Zhishen's big, pliers-like hands didn't let go for a moment, grabbing Sun Lei and insisting on going to Daxiangguo Temple.
After walking for a short time, a magnificent temple appeared in front of us. The main hall of the monk tower and the pagoda and bell tower were so spectacular.
"Okay, okay, we're all on the ground, let go!"
Sun Lei saw the place and finally broke away, rubbing his shoulders and said.
"This Daxiangguo Temple is much more impressive than Wenshu Monastery."
Sun Lei looked at the majestic Daxiangguo Temple. This is not as good as not knowing, but there is no comparison.
"Of course, the Daxiangguo Temple is the most precious temple in the world, and it is located in the capital of Tokyo, so it is naturally very popular. It is getting late. Let's go to the temple first and place an order to see Elder Zhiqing."
Lu Zhishen raised his feet and prepared to go in.
"Why are you so anxious? Who cares about you looking so slovenly? Quickly put on the monk's robes that you have prepared. This man relies on clothes, and Buddha relies on gold. Who cares about you if you are like this? That's it. The little novice monks at the temple gate are all better dressed than you, and you are like a beggar among monks."
Sun Lei pointed at Lu Zhishen's rumpled monk's clothes. It would be strange if he didn't get kicked away if he went like this.
"It's just that the Sa family was careless. The elder gave me a monk's robe as a gift, but I haven't worn it yet. Now it's time to change into it."
Lu Zhishen reacted immediately. He had also been around the Guanfu and knew that dressing up was very important when he first arrived.
"Then go in by yourself, I'll leave first."
Sun Lei waved his hand and said, he had to take a walk in the lively street just now.
"No, you have to enter the temple with the Sa family!"
Lu Zhishen immediately went to catch Sun Lei.
"What am I going to do? You have a letter of recommendation from Elder Zhizhen and you are a monk. You can definitely stay at Daxianggong Temple. What am I going to do with you?"
Sun Lei jumped away quickly. There was no wine or meat in the monk's temple. All he could do was chant sutras and ring the bells all day long. He couldn't stand this kind of life.
"Also, put away your sword and Zen staff. You don't look like a monk at all. You are clearly a strongman who robs families and homes. Look at the monks in Daxiangguo Temple. They all have thin skin, tender flesh, kind eyebrows, kind eyes, big shoulders and big waists. They are all I'm used to being pampered, so I'm afraid I won't let you in when I see you like this."
Sun Lei pointed at Lu Zhishen's sword and Zen staff and said, "This dress is not good."
"Then you wait outside for Sajia!"
Seeing that he couldn't catch Sun Lei, Lu Zhishen didn't dare to let go of his hands and feet. There were pilgrims coming and going around him. It didn't look good for a monk like him to cause trouble at the entrance of Daxiangguo Temple.
After putting on his monk's robes and hanging his Buddhist beads, Lu Zhishen took the ultimatum and the letter from Elder Zhizhen and walked towards the Daxiangguo Temple. The monk who was waiting at the door saw Lu Zhishen's well-dressed appearance and went up to him, performed a Buddhist salute and called "Senior Brother" , Lu Zhishen explained his purpose of coming and showed the Dudu and the letter from Elder Zhizhen. The welcoming monk quickly invited Lu Zhishen into the temple.
Sun Lei was not interested in the Daxiangguo Temple and had no intention of going in. Since he agreed to Lu Zhishen waiting for him, he simply found a place to sit at the door and looked at the pilgrims coming and going. To Sun Lei's surprise, he offered incense and prayed. Most of them are older girls and younger wives, but there are relatively few men.
After waiting for a long time, Lu Zhishen didn't come out. Sun Lei was tired from sitting, so he simply found a big blue stone and lay down on it to sleep.
I don't know how long he had been sleeping, but Sun Lei suddenly felt someone approaching. He narrowed his eyes and saw a few sneaky figures approaching, reaching out to touch the bundle on his pillow.
"Where can a bird dare to take advantage of grandpa? Give me a stick!"
Sun Lei didn't even get up, and swung the whistle stick at his side, knocking the nearby people off the bluestone.
After a few muffled sounds, the rogues fell to the ground and screamed.
"You guys dare to come to grandpa's place to beat the autumn wind. Don't you know how to write the word "death"?"
Sun Lei stood up and sat on the bluestone and looked at the guys below. It was obvious at a glance that these guys were rogues on the street, and they were all scheming.
"You dare to hurt my brother. If you don't pay for the soup and medicine today, you won't be able to leave!"
A few gangsters helped up those who fell to the ground, pointed at Sun Lei and threatened, "They are outnumbered and Sun Lei is the only one, so he will definitely be defeated now."
"Okay, today grandpa will do justice for heaven and eliminate harm for the people!"
After hearing this, Sun Lei suddenly shouted "Hello", swung his whistle stick and jumped off the bluestone, hitting a gangster with the whistle stick.
"ah!"
With a scream, the gangster didn't expect that Sun Lei would suddenly attack and hurt someone. He couldn't avoid it and was hit on the arm with a stick. The arm was broken.
The gangsters who wanted to blackmail some money retreated in fear. The gangsters on the street are actually paper tigers. They bully the weak and fear the strong. What they are best at is rolling around and bullying ordinary people with their gangster energy, because ordinary people dare not fight with these gangsters. A scoundrel is entangled, but it's different when meeting a ruthless person. It's like a fox not daring to breathe when it sees a tiger.
Sun Lei swung the whistle stick again, pretending to fight, and the scoundrels screamed and got into the crowd and fled for their lives.
"Unlucky, what a bunch of losers!"
Sun Lei cursed his bad luck, took the baggage on the bluestone and prepared to leave. Lu Zhishen probably fell in love with the old monk from Daxiangguo Temple, and he would not be coming out today, so he had to find an inn to stay.
