(Additional update for _Mengnai_ tipping leader)
The next morning.
The birds outside the window were chirping non-stop, looking for delicious food.
Uchiha Tunan woke up from the bed in the hotel and left the Fire Street to go to the Fire Temple.
The clear sky in late autumn is like an endless calm blue sea, and the white light on the horizon is jumping in the air, like microwaves rising on the sea surface.
The yellowing leaves floating in the sky embellished the blue sea with the colors of human fireworks.
The stairs going up the mountain were covered with many leaves, and an old monk was cleaning them hard with a big broom.
"Dang, Dang, Dang..."
At the beginning of the sunrise, the clouds and mist over the Temple of Fire seemed to be suddenly lifted away by a giant hand.
Thousands of golden lights gushed out, reflecting the red glow of the sky.
Among the unpredictable clouds, a blood-red sun disk appeared, illuminating the mountains and valleys with a golden glow, full of autumn mood.
As the morning bell rang, two novice monks opened the door.
Pilgrims who had been waiting for a long time poured into the temple.
These people are all here to compete for today's top spot.
The temple reflected in the green trees, with apricot-yellow walls, blue-gray ridges, and pale green towering ancient trees, are all bathed in the refreshing autumn air, looking particularly solemn and mysterious.
Thousand-year-old camphors cover the open space in front of the temple. The lotus flowers are green in the large lotus pond surrounded by white stone fences. A finely carved stone arch bridge crosses the pond and street.
Uchiha Tunan was walking leisurely on the stone bridge.
I can hear the sounds of prayers and chanting in the temple...
"Buddha, please help my father get better soon."
"Compassionate Bodhisattva, please bless my granddaughter to have a safe life.
She must have found someone she likes recently. If that person is good, please bless them to be together. "
"Buddha, I paid my respects to you last time. I won at first, but then I lost my money.
This time I sold the house, please be sure to bless me to make a profit.
If we lose again, our family will not be able to survive.
You can't just ignore it.
Please, please. "
...
Uchiha Tunan walked into the main hall, stood behind the believers, and looked up at the huge Buddha statue inside.
The Buddha statue here is somewhat similar to the one Uchiha Tunan saw in the temple in his previous life.
The Buddha statue is extremely tall, sitting upright in the main hall. It is golden in color but has some bronze texture.
A piece of the roof above the Buddha statue seems to be covered with glass, as if a skylight has been opened for the main hall.
The light from outside spills in and shines directly on the Buddha statue, which is a bit dazzling and gives people a sense of majesty.
It's just that the Buddha statue here does not hold flowers in his hands, but sits cross-legged, with his hands on his knees, and his eyes seem to be looking down at the believers below.
Uchiha Tunan's eyes slowly moved to the eyes of the Buddha statue.
At this moment, the sounds of prayer and chanting around me seemed to be fading away, and the whole world became quiet.
Uchiha Tunan seemed to be looking at the existence in the dark across time and space.
"Donor, please don't block people passing by."
After an unknown amount of time, a monk's voice sounded from beside Uchiha Tunan.
Uchiha Tunan looked directly into the eyes of the Buddha statue, slightly twitching the corners of his mouth, turned around and went to the merit box, took out a thick stack of banknotes and stuffed it in.
The monk's eyes lit up, and he immediately clasped his hands and bowed to Uchiha Tunan: "Donor, your merits are immeasurable, and the Buddha will bless you."
Uchiha Tunan continued to look directly into the eyes of the Buddha statue and said calmly: "I hope so."
Then he put his hands together and bowed before the Buddha statue, stood up and said to the monk:
"My name is Uchiha Tunan. I am a ninja from the Leaf Village. I would like to meet Master Jigo."
The monk suddenly realized: "It turns out to be Ninja-sama, please come with me."
The two walked through several courtyard corridors and came to a stone table in a small courtyard.
The yard is simple and elegant, clean and simple, making people feel comfortable just looking at it.
"Ninja-sama, please sit here for a while. I'll go and make the announcement first."
Uchiha Tunan nodded and sat down on the stone bench.
After a while, the monk hurried over with a teacup and teapot, placed the teacup and teapot on the stone table, and filled Uchiha Tunan with tea.
"Sorry, the host is seeing guests, please wait a moment."
"It doesn't matter."
Uchiha Tunan took a sip from the teacup and began to listen carefully to the sounds in the wind.
"Master Diwu, my lord is very satisfied with what happened last time."
"Although we are monks, we are also citizens of the Kingdom of Fire. This is what we should do."
“My lord’s promise will be fulfilled soon.
It's just that Daming Mansion is short of manpower now, so the Lord entrusted me to bring you all the money to build the temple. "
"Lord Oku is interested."
"Then I'll take my leave."
Soon, Uchiha Tunan heard footsteps approaching from far away.
I saw a middle-aged man with white hair appearing at the corner of the corridor. His steps were a little hurried, as if he was very busy.
When the middle-aged man passed by Uchiha Tunan, the two looked at each other quietly.
Uchiha Tunan clearly saw a hint of surprise flashing in the middle-aged man's eyes.
Uchiha Tunan also recognized that this man was his former immediate boss in the City of Fire, the leader of the Wei Mansion, Kamigawa Daikora.
It's just that when I secretly observed him before, he didn't look so old.
How long has it passed and you are already so haggard?
At this time, the monk also rushed over, clasped his hands towards Uchiha Tunan and said:
"Ninja-sama, please come with me."
Uchiha Tunan stood up and returned the greeting: "Sorry to trouble you."
The two of them had just reached the corner of the corridor.
suddenly.
Uchiha Tunan's steps slowed down slightly, and he glanced back intentionally or unintentionally.
Just a moment ago, Uchiha Tunan discovered Kamikawa Okora after leaving the Fire Temple.
A sudden burst of chakra fluctuations comparable to those of elite Jonin disappeared without a trace in a few breaths.
This speed, even in Konoha, is considered very good.
Logically speaking, Kamikawa Okora possesses the strength of an elite jounin, and Uchiha Tunan wouldn't think it was too outrageous.
The key is that his chakra gives Uchiha Tunan a very strange feeling.
But Uchiha Tunan only kept this conjecture and waited until afterwards to find an opportunity to investigate.
Soon, the two came to the door of Jiwu's room.
The monk opened the door for Uchiha Tunan and said, "Donor, here we are."
Uchiha Tunan stepped into the room.
Jiwu, who was meditating inside, opened his eyes, a smile appeared on his face and said:
"Tunan, why are you here?"
Uchiha Tunan smiled slightly, took out a rough small gift box from his ninja bag and handed it to Jiwu:
“I recently took leave to travel to the village to relax.
This is my gift to you, Master. "
Di Wu quickly waved his hand and said: "Tu Nan, I am a monk and I do not accept gifts."
Uchiha Tunan immediately opened the gift box, pointed at the items inside and explained:
“This is not a valuable item, but a health product I brought to you in Konoha.
It has the effect of relieving worries, relieving fatigue, calming the nerves and promoting sleep. "
Di Wu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, looked at the medicine bags inside, and asked doubtfully: "Health products? Is this medicine?"
Uchiha Tunan nodded and said:
“Health products can also be considered a type of medicine, and they basically have no side effects.
Of course, don’t take too much at one time.
Mix one sachet every day before going to bed, and you will sleep well at night. "
Jiwu thought for a moment, this kind of thing didn't look expensive.
Although he doesn't need it, he can't chill the other person's heart.
He immediately took the gift box, put it aside and said:
“Then I’ll accept it, you’re interested.
What's the matter with you coming to see me this time? "
Uchiha Tunan shook his head slightly and said: "Nothing, just passing by here and taking a look."
Seeing that Uchiha Tunan didn't have anything to do with him, Jiwu immediately stood up and said:
"Well, I'm going to give a lecture to the monks later, and you can come and listen.
I'll take you around the Fire Temple in the afternoon. "
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Uchiha Tunan's face and he said: "This is too troublesome for you. I will just take a look at it myself."
Diwu smiled kindly and said, "No need to mention anything. It's no trouble. I'm a guest from afar, as I should."
