Chapter 158 The return of the soul
The bright sun shines directly on the Daigamiyama Shrine.
In the courtyard outside the Feilai Stone, a large group of members of the Daigamiyama Shrine gathered, eagerly waiting for the soul-calling ceremony to end.
"Do you think Iori Miyaji's daughter can be rescued?"
"I think it's difficult. The monk is too young."
"But I have heard Iori-kun talk about that monk. He seems to be very famous. His name is Master Liansheng."
"Hey, Master Liansheng, this Dharma name is not simple."
"The Master Liansheng who appeared at Mount Koya some time ago?"
When Master Rensheng of Mount Koya was mentioned, everyone present immediately showed an expression different from their previous doubts. They all felt that Iori Miyaji had really waited for the true Buddha this time.
The events of Mount Koya originally had nothing to do with their Shintoism, but since the arrival of Master Rensheng, the wind direction of Mount Koya changed and it no longer sheltered any demons or monsters.
And he cracked down severely on monsters that harmed people, which frightened countless monsters.
They had nowhere to go and were afraid of being liquidated, so they had no choice but to join the Shinto religion and become a guardian mountain god.
Most shrines took this opportunity to absorb many demons and monsters and worship them as gods.
The name of Master Rensheng also began to spread within their Shintoism.
"If it is really that Master Liansheng, and he is indeed capable of rescuing the witch, I am afraid..."
"I'm also worried that we'll get stuck at the soul-calling stage. After all, the relationship between the miko and Iori Miyaji isn't harmonious."
“I hope Master Liansheng can stop this tragedy from continuing.”
Some elderly priests looked worried at this moment.
In front of the flying stone.
Hiramiya Chiya was looking at the ashamed Iori Miyaji with suspicion.
Is Miyaji Iori really a relative of this girl?
Why is it that the more I call her, the more she refuses to wake up?
Even her soul showed signs of dissipating.
How much does he dislike Iori Miyaji? Even hearing his voice makes him feel annoyed.
"Just wait a moment."
Hiramiya Chiya called out to Iori Miyaji who was about to cry in time.
It’s not a big deal if an old man loses his pearl, but it’s a big deal if the young girl can’t wake up.
We have been busy for so long, and we have even asked the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva to come and rescue the person no matter what.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"..."
Iori Miyaji glanced at the girl who showed no sign of waking up, lowered his head in shame, and remained silent.
"Let me tell you."
The dog god sighed and transformed into a human body with a dog's head.
"In short, it's a story about Iori abandoning the girl's mother and then getting his comeuppance."
When Miyaji Iori was young, he was also a handsome young man in the area. When he was in college, he got together with his junior schoolmate.
After graduating from university, Iori Miyaji resolutely cut off his relationship with his junior and chose the shrine.
At that time, Iori Miyaji didn't know that his schoolmate was pregnant.
In addition, the school girl was a very hot-tempered person and deliberately kept the secret from him.
It was not until his junior schoolmate passed away that Iori Miyaji knew he had such a daughter.
The girl was already 12 years old at that time.
The girl inherited Iori Miyaji's powerful talent for cultivation, and by chance, she came to Ogamiyama Shrine.
Under the guidance of Iori Miyaji and Inugami, she chose to join the Ogamiyama Shrine and became a shrine maiden with her outstanding talent.
A few years later, the girl was 16 years old.
Just as Iori Miyaji was still hesitating whether to tell the girl the truth about his life.
Members of the Aum Shinrikyo cult came to the door and told the girl the truth first.
After a big quarrel with Miyaji Iori, the girl left the mountain in anger and was framed by the members of Aum Shinrikyo, who took away her soul.
Iori Miyaji and Inugami, who followed closely behind the girl, only had time to save the girl's body.
In order to preserve the girl's only chance of survival, Iori Miyaji placed the girl in the belly of the Flying Stone and set up a barrier to protect her.
After hearing this story, Hiramiya Chiye felt that what happened to Iori Miyaji today was entirely his own fault.
The only thing that deserves pity and regret is the girl who is still in a coma.
Coming from such a father's call, it's no wonder that the girl doesn't want to wake up.
No matter who it is, it is impossible for them to acknowledge this father without any hesitation.
"You're so useless, not like a man at all." Inugami was very disdainful of this.
On this issue, it has always despised what Iori Miyaji did.
Iori Miyaji is worse than a dog.
Pinggong Qianye sighed inwardly.
"..."
Iori Miyaji stood silently by the side, looking at the girl worriedly, allowing Heimiya Chiya and Inugami to cast contemptuous glances at him.
"I'll do it."
Hiramiya Chiye did not criticize Iori Miyaji for what he had done, but stood up, walked into the sealed barrier, and came in front of the girl.
Things like calling back souls are indeed more suitable for relatives to do.
But there are alternatives.
"Namo the Great Compassionate Vairocana Buddha."
Pinggong Qianye chanted the Buddha's name, and a statue of Vairocana Tathagata slowly appeared behind him.
The sunlight in the sky seemed to gather together at this moment, and the dazzling light made it difficult to tell whether it was the Buddha's light or the sunlight.
The Inugami just stared for a while, then spontaneously transformed from a dog-headed human body into an Akita dog, and huddled behind Iori Miyaji's heels.
"What a great Vairocana Buddha!" Iori Miyaji looked up and exclaimed with emotion.
He had seen many Buddhist monks manifest the Dharmakaya of Buddha, Bodhisattva and Vajra, but they had never given him the feeling that the Vairocana Tathagata before his eyes brought him.
Endless light is enough to dispel all darkness!
"The soul is back!"
Pinggong Qianye shouted in a deep voice, as if a Buddha himself was calling the soul.
The light of the universe flowed along the girl's ears and eyebrows and entered the depths of her dark and dark soul.
In a dark soul cage, the girl's limbs were tightly entangled by hair like poisonous snakes.
There are many young women in the same situation as her. They are also trapped in the dark soul cage and find it difficult to break free.
His gaze followed those snake-like hairs and spread out. In the depths where there was no end in sight, there seemed to be a terrifying figure that was difficult to describe and gaze at.
He sat quietly in the dark void, as if it was the end of all this.
His hair was like black poisonous snakes, spreading along the dark void and entwining the girls one by one.
Death is never the end here, that figure is.
I will die here eventually.
The sad thing is that from beginning to end, it is not your turn to make a decision about your life and death.
Even if it’s just a small decision.
The girl has almost given up all hope of survival. If she stays in this place, her soul will be devoured sooner or later.
She knew that there was a faint white light covering her body, which temporarily saved her from the fate of being eaten.
He was even able to maintain a certain level of clarity, not being in a daze or not knowing how he would die.
Being able to witness her own death consciously may be the greatest blessing from the gods in her life.
"The soul is back!"
A call came from nowhere.
The girl subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound, but did not see any figure. Instead, she saw golden rays of light descending along with the sound.
It was as if a Buddha had descended with endless light.
All darkness disappears, and the light shines brightly.
The entire dark world seemed to tremble as well.
The long hair of poisonous snakes wrapped around the girl's body broke apart and turned into flying ashes.
The dark cage shattered, and the figure hovering in the void in the distance gradually faded away, never to be seen again.
The Buddha who descended here gathered endless light and flames.
Just by looking at it from a distance, warmth slowly flows through my body and my heart is filled with infinite joy.
Then, the girl felt herself free again.
Her eyelashes fluttered and her eyes slightly opened.
What caught my eye was a handsome young monk.
He is just like the Buddha who radiates endless light, making people feel infinitely beautiful.
The girl's brows slowly relaxed and her consciousness gradually returned to normal.
Her eyes turned and moved towards the world around the young monk.
There is no darkness here anymore.
But when that annoying figure appeared in her field of vision, her brows furrowed deeply again.
This feeling is like being hungry for a few days and suddenly a delicious dish appears in front of you. When you are about to eat it, you find disgusting bugs crawling on it.
You will feel nauseous whether you eat or not.
The girl glanced at it indifferently, and when she saw the Akita dog, her expression first showed some tenderness, and then was tinged with disgust.
Soon, the girl's gaze moved around and returned to the young monk in front of her.
It was this young monk who made her feel happy, just like the joy she felt when she met the Buddha.
"you're awake?"
"woke up."
The girl nodded and asked softly, "You saved me?"
"It was the compassion of the Buddha and the Bodhisattva that saved you."
"Well, I am sincerely grateful to them for saving me from the dark cage and allowing me to regain my freedom."
Pinggong Qianye had a brief conversation with the girl and only walked out of the barrier after confirming that she was safe.
"My daughter..."
With red eyes, Iori Miyaji came to the position where Hiramiya Chiye had just stood, facing the girl.
The girl snorted lightly, her expression cold and she closed her eyes, not wanting to talk to him at all.
The scene was a little awkward for a while.
"Wang Wang Wang!"
The Inugami shouted a few times, as if celebrating the girl's awakening.
After the dog barking, there was another long silence.
Iori Miyaji spoke many times, but was ignored by the girl. She was even unwilling to open her eyes and look at him.
"Ugh……"
Iori Miyaji sighed and left. He didn't want to stimulate the girl who had just woken up at this time, so as to avoid another accident.
"You deserve it."
The Inugami taunted, trotted over, jumped onto the flying stone, and tried to rub the girl's knees.
But he was kicked down.
"Get lost, you're not a good dog either!"
The girl opened her eyes and cursed.
