"Oh, it's really Mr. Ito. How come you have time to come to my place?" Shortly after the miko left, accompanied by a slightly cheerful voice, Mingaku in a white priest hunting suit walked toward Sei Itō with a smile, followed by a middle-aged male priest and the miko who went in to report before.
"Please forgive me for disturbing you. I have something to discuss with Mr. Mingaku," Sei Itō also showed a reserved smile on his face and nodded slightly to Mingaku.
"Oh? Then please. " Ming Taku raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. He didn't understand why the other party, who had no interaction with him, would come to him. However, despite the doubts in his heart, he still invited him politely without showing the slightest expression on his face.
"Sorry to disturb you," Sei Itō nodded and followed Mingaku's invitation into the Ise Grand Shrine.
"Palace Master, who was that man just now?" After Sei Itō and Mingaku left, the miko who was originally responsible for guarding the shrine asked the middle-aged man next to her with a surprised expression.
"An existence like Mr. Mingaku, standing at the top of the world." The middle-aged man sighed softly.
"Ah …" Miko-sama gasped in shock.
"Well, you continue to guard here. You did a good job this time." The middle-aged man turned his head to look at the miko who was still in shock and praised her, then ignored her and walked into the shrine.
On the other side. Under Mingaku's introduction and guidance, they saw part of the scenery inside the Ise Grand Shrine. After walking through a long corridor, the two finally came to an ancient Japanese-style room. Obviously, this was the place chosen by Mingaku to talk.
Just as Mingdu turned around and extended his hand to invite Sei Itō to sit down, Sei Itō, who had been maintaining a faint smile, suddenly had a serious expression on his face. At the same time, he extended his arm and grabbed Mingdu's arm. With a thought, he released powerful lightning that was very close to the power of Authority to crawl all over Mingdu's body.
"Crackle …" As he was not in time to defend himself, Mingu was immediately paralyzed by the lightning attack released by Ito Sei!
However, it was a battle between experts. What they were fighting for was that moment. Therefore, the second after Ming Qu was paralyzed, Sei Itō immediately stepped forward and slapped Ming Qu's chest.
"Eight Trigrams Seal!"
Eight slender tadpole-like lines formed entirely from ink-black energy spread out rapidly from the center of Sei Itō's palm that had hit Ming Cou's chest. In the blink of an eye, they had crawled all over Ming Cou's body. In a dark golden light, they entered Ming Cou's body.
"Ugh …" Ming Cou, who suddenly felt that the power in his body was chaotic and difficult to control, opened his mouth and let out a low groan.
"Itō Sei. What do you mean by this! "As Sei Itō's palm that was holding his arm loosened, Ming Cou took two steps back. Ming Cou, who had taken two steps back, stared at Sei Itō with an unfriendly expression and questioned.
Sei Itō didn't answer Ming Cou's question immediately. Instead, he waved his arm. A barrier was erected in the middle of the room!
Ming Cou, who felt that Sei Itō was up to no good, was on guard. He secretly tried to regain control of the power in his body to have the ability to fight back.
After setting up the isolation barrier, Sei Itō, who was looking at Ming Cou, finally moved. A unique aura quickly spread out from Sei Itō's body.
"You, you …" Although his body was sealed, Ming Cou, whose knowledge and perception were still the same, pointed at Sei Itō with a shocked expression after he felt the aura from Sei Itō's body. He couldn't say anything for a long time. Obviously, he was shocked by what Sei Itō revealed at this time.
"Tell me the purpose of your visit this time." However, Ming Cou was an experienced S-level master after all. He quickly regained his senses and asked in a low voice with a gloomy expression.
As an S-level master, no one knew the horror of the Legendary Stage better than him. Therefore, when he found that Sei Itō had advanced to the Legendary Stage, he gave up resisting.
"Make a Great Soul Oath. From now on, you will be loyal to me wholeheartedly. You will not harm my family and friends in any overt, covert, direct or indirect way," Sei Itō said calmly.
In fact, compared to forcing people to make an oath, Sei Itō preferred to completely brainwash people to control them. However, at Ming Cou's level, brainwashing was too troublesome. It was far more convenient and fast than directly making a Great Soul Oath. In addition, the current time didn't allow him to spend a few days to fundamentally change the memories of an expert, so this was the only way.
Hearing this, Ming Cou's expression kept changing like a Peking Opera mask.
Sei Itō didn't say anything. He just looked at him quietly, waiting for his choice.
"Okay, I swear." After a while, Ming Cou's expression became serious and he said firmly. Then he covered his chest with his hand and swore solemnly, "I, Ming Cou, swear on my soul that from now on, I will be loyal to the person in front of me — Sei Itō. I will not harm his family and friends in any overt, covert, direct or indirect way. If I violate this oath …"
"You will be burned by the evil of the heart's fire!" Sei Itō reminded him calmly.
"… If I violate this oath, I will be burned by the evil of the heart's fire!" Ming Cou repeated with an ugly expression.
After saying this, a strange wave instantly spread from Ming Cou's body. In the blink of an eye, it melted into the surrounding space.
"Very good." Sei Itō, who felt that the oath was established, nodded slightly and said. Then he walked in front of Ming Cou again and slapped Ming Cou's chest, who didn't resist.
In an instant, Ming Cou's body lit up slightly. The seal symbols that suddenly appeared on his body immediately turned into a cloud of smoke and drifted away from Ming Cou's body, quickly melting into the air.
"I'm leaving." Sei Itō, who helped Ming Cou remove the seal, waved his hand to remove the isolation enchantment that shrouded the room and said calmly.
After saying that, he didn't wait for Ming Cou's reaction and turned to walk out.
"Bastard!" Ming Cou, who watched Sei Itō leave, shouted fiercely, and his aura erupted violently. The entire ancient room was blown into a mess, venting the humiliation and grievance in his heart.
Sei Itō, who hadn't walked out of the Ise Grand Shrine, naturally felt the aura that erupted from Ming Cou. He smiled slightly, ignored it, and continued to walk out of the shrine with his head held high. After leaving the shrine, he flew up and rushed to the dojo headquarters of the Tiantai Sect – Birui Mountain.
Because Birui Mountain was very close to Michong County, where the Ise Grand Shrine was located, Sei Itō successfully arrived in the sky above Birui Mountain between Kyoto and Osaka in less than a minute.
Probably because it was in the mountains and forests, and it was close to Kyoto, the demons and ghosts were rampant. It was also because of the place where the legendary Kyuubi was stationed. The monsters' attacks on this place were surprisingly few, unlike Ise Grand Shrine, which had been besieged since the monsters landed. If it weren't for the fact that it was difficult to leave this place, and that it had a powerful enchantment and a large number of special devices, they wouldn't have been able to leave this place. Ise Grand Shrine might have been captured by the monsters like Michong County where it was located.
"Amitabha. Since the benefactor is here. Please come in and have a chat. " As soon as Sei Itō appeared in the sky above Birui Mountain, an old and peaceful voice echoed in the sky.
"En? He actually found me … It seems that Japan's Tiantai Sect is really mysterious. "Sei Itō secretly thought when he heard the old monk's voice.
"Then I'll have to bother you." Sei Itō gathered his voice and sent it into Tiantai Sect, causing it to explode in the courtyard. After he finished speaking, his figure flashed. He directly appeared in front of the mountain gate of Tiantai Sect.
"Benefactor, please come with me." A middle-aged monk who had been waiting at the door slightly bowed to Sei Itō and said.
"Sorry to trouble you." Sei Itō nodded and then followed the middle-aged monk, who should be the reception monk, into Tiantai Sect's monastery and walked to the abbot's room at the back of the temple.
Because of the monsters, Tiantai Sect was very deserted at this time. There was no sign of tourists and incense in the past. So soon, the two people bypassed the Great Strength Hall and the other halls and came to the outside of the abbot's room.
"Benefactor, the abbot is inside. Please make yourself at home." The reception monk bowed and said.
"Sorry to trouble you." Sei Itō nodded and walked to the front of the abbot's room. He stretched out his hands to push the door open and stepped in.
"I haven't seen you for a while. You're even more elegant than before." The old abbot, Radiant Light Master, who was sitting cross-legged under the word "Zen", said calmly.
Sei Itō, who was sitting cross-legged at the side, said with a smile, "You flatter me. It's your Buddhist doctrine that has improved a lot."
"I've been enlightened recently." Radiant Light Master smiled.
Sei Itō quietly looked at Radiant Light Master, and Radiant Light Master also calmly smiled and let Sei Itō look at him.
"As long as you give me a guarantee that you won't have any thoughts or actions against Akizuya City, I'll leave immediately and won't disturb your cultivation." Sei Itō finally looked at Radiant Light Master's eyes and said faintly with a burning gaze.
"Tiantai Sect's people practice Zen Buddhism. What we seek is Nirvana. All the external forms are greed, anger, stupidity, and madness. Benefactor, you've disturbed us," Radiant Light Master said calmly.
"Then I'm really overthinking. I'm sorry." Sei Itō bowed and apologized. Then he stood up and continued, "In that case, I won't disturb your cultivation anymore. Goodbye!"
"Amitabha." Radiant Light Master chanted Buddha's name in a low voice.
Sei Itō bowed to Radiant Light Master again, turned around and left his meditation room, walking out of the temple.
"It seems that I'm biased. Not all Japanese monks are like secular people. At least this Radiant Light Master has the essence of Tiantai Sect. His Zen Buddhism is very profound. I just don't know if the Zhenyan Sect with the title of Dongmi is as easy to talk to as the monks of Tiantai Sect. "On the way out of the temple, Sei Itō secretly sighed in his heart.
When he reached a temple door, Sei Itō flew into the sky and hurriedly flew in the direction of Hege County.
Because it was very close, Sei Itō still only took a short time to reach the territory of Hege County. He flew to the Jingang Peak of Mount Koya where the main sect of Zhenyan Sect was located!
Just like the Tiantai Sect in the Birui Mountain, the Jingang Peak of Mount Koya, which was surrounded by peaks, was surrounded by 120 temples. More than a thousand cultivators protected the main sect of the Zhenyan Sect, which was protected by more than a thousand cultivators, also survived the attack of the monsters. Of course, this was also because of the enchantment protection that had been continuously added for 1,200 years by Hongfa Master in Zhenyan Sect, as well as the huge foundation accumulated over the past 1,200 years.
"The evil spirit is a bit strong. It seems that this trip to Zhenyan Sect may not go smoothly." Sei Itō, who observed Zhenyan Sect with the Qi Observation Method, thought. However, Sei Itō still lowered his body and flew down to the gate of Zhenyan Sect.
"Who is it?!" As soon as Sei Itō appeared, five or six monks wearing black monk robes and holding Buddhist staff, Vajra awls, large bows, and even hunting spears ran out of the temple and questioned Sei Itō loudly.
"As expected, Zhenyan Sect is not a sect that is easy to follow," Sei Itō thought.
"I am Sei Itō. I have something to discuss with your Great Monk Zhengjing." Sei Itō, who landed on the ground, said loudly.
Although these monks did not seem like people who were easy to follow, they at least had good eyesight. Just from the flying hair that Sei Itō showed, they knew that the guy in front of them was not someone who could be easily fooled. Therefore, after hearing Sei Itō's words, they looked at each other and one of them ran into the temple to report to Great Monk Zhengjing. As for the others, they still held their weapons carefully and were on guard.
Sei Itō ignored the monks of Zhenyan Sect and leisurely observed the atmosphere of Vajra Peak.
"As expected of a Tantric Sect. They have learned a lot about the swaying of the sun, but judging from the performance of these monks, they have also learned some of the bad things of Tantric Sect." Sei Itō thought as he observed the surroundings.
At this time, the monk who ran into the temple to report ran out again and came to Sei Itō. He respectfully bowed and said, "Master, Great Monk Zhengjing invites you."
"Lead the way." Hearing the monk's way of addressing him that was not in line with Buddhism, Sei Itō also took the opportunity to put on airs and said lightly.
"Master, please." The monk respectfully led the way and then walked in front of Ito Sei. He led Ito Sei into the temple, bypassing the Mahavira Hall where Mahavairocana, who was worshiped more than Tiantai Sect, was. They walked along the path paved with large bluestone slabs and walked to the main room of the great monks.
Soon, the two arrived outside the so-called main room of the great monk.
"Master, please." The monk who quickly walked to the door and helped Sei Itō open the door said.
Sei Itō nodded and stepped into the room.
"Creak ~ Bang ~" Just after Sei Itō entered the room, the monk outside closed the door again.
Sei Itō walked through the main hall, stepped through the round door on the left, and came to the side room. He saw Great Monk Zhengjing sitting there with his eyes closed and practicing.
