As told in thousands of stories, Shiraishi is a time traveler.

Shiraishi Xiu is just his name in this life.

In his previous life, his name was Bai Tian.

He is not a monk, but he has a connection with Buddhism.

My family suffered an accident in my early years. Later, my parents and elders gradually became Buddhists, and they inevitably accepted some Buddhist ideas and theories during the day.

As a young man of the new century who grew up under the red flag, he is considered an atheist during the day and does not believe in such unscientific things as gods, Buddhas, and supernatural beings in the world.

Therefore, under the influence of the family environment in my previous life, during the day I had a favorable impression of the Buddhist theories that persuade people to do good, believed in the theory of karma and retribution, and was willing to do good deeds.

But they don’t believe in the existence of Buddha, and they don’t believe in the so-called Western Paradise.

However, no matter how determined an atheist is.

Encounter time travel first

Later, on the way to school, I witnessed a pedestrian being pushed by a "child" while walking, and the next moment he was hit by a car.

At the scene of the car accident, passers-by turned a blind eye to the "child" and just hurriedly called the police for an ambulance.

Only the pale child was left, standing among the crowd, smiling like a devil...

I’m afraid that the idea of ​​​​atheism will also be shaken!

This is a parallel world, not the earth anymore!

Obviously, there are supernatural ghosts and ghosts here, so it is not impossible that there are gods and Buddhas.

And it doesn’t matter even if there are no gods or Buddhas.

In this life, Shiraishi Xiu is an orphan picked up and adopted by the abbot of the temple, and has been trained as a candidate monk since he was a child.

Although the temple is in ruins, the old abbot is a capable person. The Buddhist scriptures he taught Bai Shixiu since he was a child contain otherworldly power.

At that time, Shiraishi was furious.

The warmth and power I felt for the first time in my two lives surged through my body, and I saved that kid on the spot.

Hell is empty, evil spirits are in the world.

So what if there are no gods or Buddhas?

As long as you believe in your own "Buddha in your heart" and do your best to save the world from suffering, this will be regarded as immeasurable merit.

Perhaps, this is the reason why I traveled through time!

Shiraishi Hide realized it.

recognized one's identity

Use your mortal body to save people!

Anyway, Japanese monks don’t abstain from eating meat and fish, they don’t abstain from sexual intercourse with women, they don’t have strict rules and precepts, and they don’t even need to be tonsured…

As long as you believe in the Buddha, even if you drink alcohol and eat meat, marry a wife and have children, even play rock music, learn bartending, smoke, drink and perm your hair, you will still be a serious monk.

From this point of view, it is also an acceptance of imported "Buddhism", and Japanese Buddhism has its own characteristics.

For example, there was a famous saying from a Japanese monk who played music in his previous life.

"The Buddha doesn't want you to take refuge, the Buddha only wants you to be happy."

Quite Zen-like.

Therefore, the Japanese monk is just a profession.

Not only is it no different from other professions, you can also work part-time...

This is also the reason why Shiraishi Xiu is willing to accept the status of a monk, instead of planning to return to secular life and find a job after graduation.

But, what about the promised system?

Doesn’t it mean that all time travelers will have a system?

Especially those who travel to some special professions.

In order for the time traveler to accept a certain identity, a mysterious organization will specially allocate a system, and will obliterate anyone who dares to leave...

Shiraishi is looking forward to the system.

No matter what the strongest monk system, the strongest temple system, the invincible abbot system, the god-level abbot system...

Let’s use one first.

Unfortunately, there are none!

It has been two years since Shiraishi Xiu came to this world.

In the first year, study and practice.

In the second year, study, practice, and accept some commissions in your spare time to make money...

Nowadays, Shiraishi Xiu has become somewhat famous as a spirit-removing monk.

But the system still didn't appear.

Give up.

As expected, it is better to seek God and Buddha than to seek oneself.

Study hard, make progress every day, practice hard, practice hard...

It is right not to think about pie-in-the-sky things.

Sighing.

Shiraishi took the last night subway and returned to the temple, which is also his home in this life.

Tokyo, Shibuya-ku.

This is the most prosperous administrative district in the center of Tokyo, known as the 24-hour sleepless street.

It was already past twelve o'clock at night, and the lights were still brightly lit.

Pedestrians were still noisy, and only after walking a few blocks did the surrounding air suddenly become quiet.

What comes into view is a huge forest shrouded in darkness that contrasts with the city that never sleeps.

It is unimaginable that in the center of Tokyo, where land is so valuable, there is a lush forest covering an area of ​​70 hectares.

Located in this lush forest

Meiji Jingu Shrine is the largest and most visited shrine in Tokyo.

Shiraishi Xiu walked onto Jingu Bridge. The stone lanterns at the bridge's head had been lit. Under the dim light, the long and solemn stone bridge looked like a dream.

Touching the shrine stone bridge with envy, Shiraishixiu walked down again.

From a very remote location, I walked onto a small road.

The path is paved with cobblestones, covered with late autumn leaves, which make a crunching sound when stepped on.

There were no lights on the roadside, and the moonlight and starlight were blocked by the shade of trees, making it almost impossible to see.

Faintly, you can only hear the chirping of insects and birds

These sounds will gradually fade away in late autumn.

When this winding trail reaches the end, you can vaguely see some lights.

Shiraishixiu moved forward facing the light.

I saw a small, dilapidated temple located among the lush woods.

The stone lamp at the door lit up, illuminating the surrounding area with a faint light.

At night, the red and white style wooden temple has a plaque with the name "Lingming Temple" hanging on it and the lights are always bright.

The temple only enshrines one Buddha statue, Sakyamuni Buddha, the Buddha.

The Buddha's golden body looked slightly dim under the candlelight, the golden body of the cassock was even mottled and peeled off, and the red paint on the wooden pillars was also somewhat discolored.

Apart from this, the overall appearance of this small temple is clean and tidy, with almost no dust.

Behind the temple, along the path, there is a simple wooden house among the trees.

The wooden house is divided into two rooms, one is used for the monks' accommodation and living, and next door is the Sutra Pavilion, which is full of scriptures.

Unimaginable.

Such a dilapidated little temple actually has scriptures that require an entire room to store.

It’s just as unimaginable as Shiraishi Hide.

Why is there such a small temple that has almost lost its incense next to the Meiji Jingu Shrine, the largest shrine in Tokyo?

Counting the abbot and Shiraishi Hide, who is currently a candidate monk, there are only two monks in total!

Bai Shixiu asked the abbot more than once about this question.

They were all prevaricated.
