"When Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva practiced the deep Prajna Paramita, he saw that the five aggregates were empty and he could overcome all sufferings. Sariya! The form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form, color is emptiness, emptiness is form. Feeling, thinking, action and consciousness are also like this. Sariya! This is the empty appearance of all dharmas..."

Kyoto, Horikawa High School hollowed-out.

The monks from Kinkaku Temple sat together, and the sky cover above their heads covered most of the monk's faces. The monk sitting in the front beating the wooden fish and chanted the Heart Sutra in a low voice.

The ups and downs of chanting scriptures lingered in the school, and it seemed particularly out of place with everything around the campus.

...

"... Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, Minister Aso, was the Minister of Finance, and was not involved in today's cabinet meeting due to physical discomfort today. According to the situation disclosed by relevant persons from the Prime Minister's residence, Minister Aso's physical condition has been a little uncomfortable since this morning, and he feels dizzy in the morning, so he has to ask for leave to rest."

Starting this morning, news about the physical complaints of Deputy Prime Minister, Finance Minister Aso, the financial director, began to spread on the Internet.

At the same time, major relevant media also quoted this news report.

The specific situation of Aso's illness was described in faithfully.

However, political news reports on the Internet have always been low. Even if the target of this time is Aso, who is the vice premier, it has not caused much trouble.

Although, in a very small number of evaluations, speculations about Aso's physical condition were mixed, and some people even thought about the videos and articles posted by Takayama before.

He thought that Aso was probably already on Keiko's phone call.

However, the relevant speculation was immediately denied by the cabinet chief at a routine press conference.

At the same time, more discussion topics on the Internet are about the scandal of super popular idols that Wen Chun revealed not long ago.

"Hmph, what physical discomfort..."

In the official residence, the Minister of Defense looked at the contents of the news newspaper and couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"Asoo clearly died because he received that damn call."

As an important member of the cabinet, the Defense Minister naturally knew the reports in the newspapers, which were just an excuse to cover up Aso's death.

In order to avoid causing greater panic, Deputy Prime Minister Aso's death is destined not to be known to the public.

The cabinet's approach is to make Aso gradually fade out of the public's vision through subtle ways, and finally find a reason to make him "retirement" reasonably.

Close the newspaper in his hand, the expression on the face of the Defense Minister was a little ugly.

Unlike those ignorant people, he saw Ma Sheng and Death in front of him with his own eyes at yesterday's cabinet meeting.

That strange way of death, a shriveled body in an instant.

Whenever the Defense Minister closes his eyes, it seems as if Aso appears in front of him, with a mouth and a look of pain.

"Master, the priest from Meiji Temple has arrived."

Just when the defense minister was feeling uneasy, a servant's reminder came from the official residence.

"Hurry up and invite the priest in."

Hearing this voice, the Minister of Defense immediately stood up and said.

As the most fundamental religion in Japan, Shintoism is still above Buddhism.

Not to mention, Meiji Shrine, as a representative shrine of Shintoism, has a close relationship with the royal family. Its influence and status in the hearts of the people are far beyond what he, a cabinet minister, can compare.

With the order of the Minister of Defense, a clergy in ceremonial clothes came to the Minister of Defense's residence.

Seeing the Meiji Shrine priest who was coming, a smile finally appeared on the face of the defense minister who had been gloomy.

If it weren't for his identity as a cabinet minister, he might have come forward to ask for help long ago.

Of course, although the Defense Minister has not spoken, this is the reason why he invited the other party to the official residence.

Facing the threat of ghosts and gods, the defense minister naturally thought of the power to seek help from gods and Buddhas.

In fact, it's not just the Minister of Defense.

Since yesterday, most temples and temples in Tokyo have received calls from cabinet ministers.

The main priest of Meiji Temple has even entered the Prime Minister's residence.

He nodded slightly to the defense minister in front of him, and the clergy from Meiji Shrine had a calm expression on his face.

"Please keep the guards alive. With its existence, you will bless you from being hurt by the power of evil spirits."

The priests were handed over the prepared Yushou to the defense minister in front of him. The calm appearance of the priest obviously affected the defense minister in front of him.

He reached out to take the Yushou, and the Minister of Defense looked at Yushou in his palm, and seemed to be comforted.

It seemed as if the Shinto power from the Meiji Shrine was protecting him.

Dingling--

However, the next second, the ringtone sounded from the residence reminded the Minister of Defense that the peace he felt was just an illusion.

"Who is the phone number!"

Hearing the rapid ringtone, the expression on the face of the Defense Minister suddenly changed color.

He shouted with panic and angry look on his face.

With Aso's past lessons, as soon as he returned to the official residence, he had ordered his subordinates to expose all the phones in the room.

In theory, without a phone call, it is impossible for him to hear the ringtone of his cell phone.

In the terrified gaze of the Defense Minister, the owner of the mobile phone was quickly found.

I saw that the priest from Meiji Temple looked down at his arms, and the rapid cell phone ringtones from his body kept ringing in the official residence of the Defense Minister.

"Guru——"

The priest swallowed a saliva as the ringtone continued.

He reached out and grabbed the imperial coins behind him, waved the cloth strip on it to aim at the mobile phone on his body.

Immediately afterwards, under the eyes of everyone in the room, he carefully stretched out his palm and took out the phone that kept ringing in his arms.

Dingling, Dinglingling—

As the phone was taken out, the ringtone became more rapid.

The rapid cell phone ringtones were like the sound of death, constantly echoing in the official residence.

Under normal circumstances, after not answering the phone for such a long time, the other side should have given up long ago.

However, the phone ringing sound in the priest's hand seemed to have no end, and he kept urging him to connect the phone.

Feel the phone ringing in my hand that is getting more and more urgent.

The expression on the face of the priest in Meiji Shrine also became a little pale, although he was the priest in the Great Shrine.

But usually I just pray for blessings and participate in sacrifices, and never actually contact ghosts and gods.

Even though Japan is known as eight million gods, Shinto is the easiest sect to contact gods.
