The dragon's voice echoed in the underground palace, creating a heavy echo: "I think the monk can only choose this method. If he delays any further, he will die.
So, do you want to kill me? If so, I will tell you how to kill me."
Shihe shook his head and said, "Great God, how can we kill you?"
"In that case, please help me do something."
The golden pupils moved away from Shihe, making this middle-aged uncle feel relieved.
As for what to do? That's actually a simple thing.
That means he won't kill himself, right?
Chapter 713: The Beginning of the Special Training Session
Cutting flesh to feed an eagle, sacrificing one's body to feed a tiger. These are both Buddhist stories. The former tells that before Sakyamuni became enlightened, he cut off his own flesh and blood and fed it to an eagle. The latter is also about a monk sacrificing his life.
To sum up, both stories guide people to be good and illustrate the preciousness of life. From the perspective of interests, it is about sacrificing oneself for others.
This is what good people do.
This is also what Buddhists should do.
Now Hachiman Bodhisattva is ready to sacrifice himself for others.
"Sacrificing one's own destiny just to turn the Okuninushi God into a good person. Such an action... is really something that only a high-ranking Buddhist monk would do."
Facing the others, Xiantai said this.
It is safe inside the storm barrier. The binding storm is a safety measure to protect the node. Except for Hachiman Great Bodhisattva who can enter freely, other beings cannot enter without permission.
Huameimaru doesn't care about sacrifice. In the eyes of a ninja, life is a very fragile existence. The loss of life in an accident will not easily affect his emotions - unless his wife dies in front of him, he doesn't care.
"Mr. Xiantai, did the Great Bodhisattva Hachiman tell you when to unlock the seal and sacrifice himself to feed the tiger?" Huameimaru asked.
He looked around and found that the great bodhisattva who had told him everything had left the place. No one knew where he had gone, because he could not be seen by the naked eye.
The surroundings were so empty, with only the green grass and leaves emitting a fresh fragrance. The trees in the distance that connected the sky and the earth could hide people, but Huameiwan didn't have time to go there.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he looked at Xian Tai, who knew the whole story.
He was the first person to see Hachiman Great Bodhisattva and the most knowledgeable person in the team.
"Senior Shiyuan."
"Xiantai, you take charge."
The chubby Xiantai looked at Shiyuan. He clenched his hands and looked very nervous. It seemed that he realized that he had taken the leadership of the team.
Shi Yuan comforted him. At this time, someone like him who knew a lot would be more suitable to be a leader.
Yes, leaders...
Xiantai took a deep breath and said, "Let me translate what Hachiman Great Bodhisattva said. In simple terms, it means to unlock the seal of the Okuninushi God. At that time, the Bodhisattva will sacrifice himself and feed the tiger. By influencing the Okuninushi God's body, the flower will bloom. At that time, the other party will lose the idea of destroying the whole of Japan.
The tentative date is tomorrow."
"Will he kill us for this?" Suddenly, the invisible Kirima said, "We helped that Bodhisattva and interfered with his behavior. Won't he get angry and kill us?"
The handsome boy with long hair who looked like a girl leaned forward and said, "What does the life and death of Japan have to do with me? Even if it is really destroyed, I can go to other countries with my brother. But if my brother and I die, it will be over."
Kirima is the younger brother of a thief. The reason he joined Yamada Asaemon was very simple, which was to save his brother who was captured by the shogunate.
Everyone from the Yamada Asaemon family present knew Kirima's personal resume. He had joined the family only a short time ago, but his status in the family had risen very quickly.
Shiyuan felt that the other party had strange ideas, but he just thought that the other party wanted to become the next Shihe, that is, to rely on the power of the Yamada Asaemon family to obtain enough money and status.
Unexpectedly, the other party's purpose was to save his brother.
"But even if we don't do this, won't we be killed by the great god?" Gang appeared beside Kirima silently: "Have you forgotten that your brother is still missing?"
Kiruma closed his mouth.
Gang smiled at everyone and immediately answered his own question.
Neither Xiantai nor Shiyuan opened their mouths to accuse him. Xiantai's character was soft and he couldn't stand up to the tough side of a leader. It would be fine with his assistance.
The behavior of arguing is correct. When facing a selfish person, it is useless to tell him about the interests of the country and the nation. You can only tell him that not doing this will infringe on his core interests. This will convince him.
"No one objects to this operation, right?"
Shi Yuan looked around and found that indeed no one stood up to oppose him like Tong Ma did. Whether it was for the sake of the country or for personal interests, it was meaningless to stand up.
——If you want to leave this island, you have to leave Penglai. But would the great god be willing to let people leave this island?
The answer is no. Before everyone set out from Japan, the shogun pushed out the only survivor. The survivor was unconscious and beautiful flowers grew out of his body. The whereabouts of all the other pioneers are unknown.
At this destination, the pioneers were nowhere to be seen. Combined with the extremely aggressive monsters on the island... the result was naturally presented to everyone.
--die!
Even if you do nothing, you will face death if you stay on the island.
"As for your safety, he wouldn't care at that time."
Just as Shi Yuan looked at Xian Tai and nodded slightly, encouraging him to speak, the familiar voice of Bodhisattva appeared here. Following the voice, he happened to see Bodhisattva standing there, holding a lot of fruits in his hands, which seemed to be found in the woods in Yingzhou area.
Ever since he revealed himself in front of Huameimaru, everyone could see the existence of Hachiman Bodhisattva.
Kirima was the first to act. He cared more about his own safety than anyone else. Having a bandit brother, he would naturally cherish his life above all else. Therefore, he cared more about how to survive than anyone else.
"Okuninushi is not a bloodthirsty person. He destroyed Japan only to gain power. Most of those who came to the island in the past were killed in Yingzhou. A few went to Penglai and were killed by celestial beings and Taoists after they came into contact with me. If you meet Okuninushi himself, he will not die given his character."
"After the flower blooms, the symbol of doom on his body will be washed away, and he will become a true god. At that time, he will probably seek revenge on the Emperor's family. And you, perhaps, will become his pawns."
Kirima sat respectfully beside him, and after listening to the words, he immediately spoke: "In the end, it's still a gamble on the possibility."
"The future is something that only the Buddha knows." Hachiman Bodhisattva placed the fruits on the grass and said, "The fruits placed here are all free of toxins. I will come back to collect some firewood later."
"Why do we have to set off tomorrow?" Huameiwan said.
The Great Bodhisattva Hachiman said: "You are not yet able to help me, so I need to improve your strength during this period of time. Specifically, I want you to master Qi."
"I don't have a complete theoretical system for Qi. I can only tell you the knowledge that Xu Fu once sorted out, so that you can grow."
Ah, the classic special training session is here.
Beneath the appearance of a bodhisattva, a man named Hikigaya Hachiman commented on this scene that was full of a sense of déjà vu.
Chapter 714: The End of Playing House
Hikigaya Hachiman, an ordinary high school student.
His grades are above average, not the best in the grade; he is neither handsome nor ugly, just average looking; he is not popular in the class, and is a nobody.
Ah, people like me are just passers-by in the story. They are the kind of passers-by who are mentioned in passing, but after joining the club, this situation has changed.
Maybe she went from being a passerby character to a supporting character with one or two lines in the unit story. Who made Yukinoshita so eye-catching? Plus, Li Mo, a foreign student, is also very eye-catching...
But, since the time travel, everything has changed.
"Lunjia, have you finished your mission for today?"
"Next, Li Mo will do it alone. I need to take a break. I'm so tired. Playing a monk with a bald head..." No matter if it's girls or boys, they all have an inexplicable fear of being bald. They may not mind if others have bald heads, but when it comes to being bald themselves, they are absolutely unwilling to do so.
Girls can be said to love beauty. But what about boys?
Hikigaya Hachiman didn't know the answer to this question, not even after being a monk for a while.
"Li Mo, why did you create a bald head? Monks in Japan are allowed to keep their hair." Hikigaya Hachiman said.
"Because in my impression, monks all have bald heads."
Japanese monks are very special. In this country, many temples are not passed on to apprentices, but to their sons.
Yes, son! Mainland monks are not allowed to marry and have children, but Japanese monks have no such concerns. They can marry and have children. Of course... not all Japanese monks can do so. There are also different sects among them.
Some of these religions adhere to the same principles as in the mainland. But which sects allow marriage and childbirth, and which ones do not? This is what Li Mo knows.
Hikigaya Hachiman nodded and did not refute.
This is a very strong reason. If there is such a cognition that the mastermind behind the scenes is the one who creates the reality, it is completely reasonable.
After chatting for a while, Hikigaya Hachiman said he had something to do and pulled Li Mo into another room.
Looking at the familiar room, Li Mo said innocently and calmly: "Is there anything that you need to talk to me about alone, Hachiman? Can't Yuigahama and the Minister hear it? Do you like another girl? Sorry, I can't hide this kind of thing for you."
The tone was serious, but the nature of the joke was so obvious... Maybe he was too familiar with Li Mo. What was not important was that he was a funny person.
So he said, "Li Mo, I want to ask, the ending of the story is definitely not the ending where good prevails over evil, right?"
In a story, there must be both good characters and bad characters. In the story described by Li Mo, Okuninushi is undoubtedly the bad character.
But judging from the current storyline, it seems that Okuninushi will win everything?
"do not know."
"what?"
"I haven't written the ending yet. Well, anyway, Okuninushi will win, but what if I do something terrible? Believe me, Hachiman, even the best manga may have a jaw-dropping ending before the dust settles."
In the main world's timeline, the comics of Attack on Titan have not yet been completed.
All I can say is that Mr. Li didn’t read the Attack on Titan comics much for various reasons, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to help but rush into the author’s house, right?
Hikigaya Hachiman said, "You mean, it's going to end badly. What about the arrangements for Huameimaru and the others?"
"Don't worry, they will definitely have a happy ending. At the very least, it will be the same as the original novel."
Li Mo asked, "Is this why you met me alone?"
Hikigaya Hachiman: "I just feel like I have become an alien in the process of acting. What determines human will? Is it innate? Is it caused by childhood education and experiences? When the power you control changes, will your attitude towards people and things change?"
After a pause, he continued, "Li Mo, why do you want me to play it?"
Li Mo shrugged, opened his hands and said easily: "Of course it's because it's interesting."
Undoubtedly bad taste.
Then, he dropped his hands and said, "This matter troubles you, right?"
"I can't say I was troubled, but I suddenly felt fear. When I play other people, I feel that my personality is affected by the character I play."
"Are you into the role? Then, how about your journey of playing Hachiman Bodhisattva ends here. In fact, Yuigahama quite likes the role of Hachiman Bodhisattva played by you. In my opinion, if you go back and change into a set of clothes like that, you might be able to win Yuigahama over." Li Mo joked.
