After tidying up, Fujiwara No Chiko rushed downstairs.
"Master, let's go." She couldn't wait.
"Wait a minute," Ito Fumio took out a veil and handed it to Fujiwara No Chiko, "Put it on."
Fujiwara No Chiko took the veil and looked at her master suspiciously.
"There are too many people, wearing a veil can avoid a lot of trouble." Ito Fumio said.
"En." Fujiwara No Chiko put on the veil and understood what her master meant. She noticed that her master didn't bring a sword this time, but he wore a bamboo hat on his head.
"Put this on as well." Ito Fumio said as he took out a bamboo hat and handed it to Fujiwara No Chiko. Fujiwara No Chiko took it and put it on her head.
"Okay, let's go." Ito Fumio took Fujiwara No Chiko out of the courtyard.
After leaving the hospital, Ito Fumio stopped in his tracks and turned around to face the courtyard. He made a mysterious hand seal with one hand. With a bang, the courtyard was instantly surrounded by white fog, enveloping the entire courtyard.
"Master," Fujiwara No Chiko asked in surprise, "You are …"
"This is the Mist Concealment Technique, I will teach you in the future." Ito Fumio said, "The swords in the wooden building are all magical weapons, your Chihō and my Kurohime are even more powerful, if they fall into the enemy's hands, it will be troublesome."
At this time, the white fog began to dissipate, but the scene after it dissipated surprised Fujiwara No Chiko. The wooden building in front of her disappeared! It was replaced by a pine forest!
Fujiwara No Chiko rubbed her eyes and looked again, but she still couldn't see any flaws. It seemed that her master was not only proficient in swordsmanship, but also in Qimen Dun Jia.
"Let's go." Ito Fumio said and took Fujiwara No Chiko down the mountain.
After three years of training, Fujiwara No Chiko's leg strength had reached an astonishing level. She could run as fast as flying. However, Ito Fumio did not use his movement technique. Instead, he maintained the same speed as Fujiwara No Chiko and took Fujiwara No Chiko down Mount Fuji. Along the way, Fujiwara No Chiko was chattering non-stop. Ito Fumio was also in a good mood. The master and disciple were talking and laughing like father and daughter. Fujiwara No Chiko felt that her master was no different from her father.
Two hours later, the master and disciple arrived at the foot of the mountain. At this time, the foot of Mount Fuji was already bustling with noise and excitement. It was April, the day when cherry blossoms were in full bloom. People would bring their families to have picnics under the cherry blossom trees and have fun. Fujiwara No Chiko was in a good mood and strolled around with Ito Fumio. Ito Fumio first took her to a clothing store to pick out some clothes for her. Then, he took her to a famous sushi restaurant to eat sushi. After eating the sushi, he went to the gift shop to pick out a gift for Master Kong Wen. Fujiwara No Chiko picked out a good set of Go and followed Ito Fumio to Master Kong Wen's residence – Kiyomizu Temple.
Kiyomizu Temple, Japan's oldest temple in Kyoto. Its name is Yinyu Mountain and it mainly enshrines the Thousand-Armed and Thousand-eyed Guan Yin Bodhisattva. It is said that it was founded by Tang Xuanzang's first disciple in Japan, Master Ci 'en. Kiyomizu Temple got its name from the clear water in the temple. There is a waterfall in the temple, named Yinyu Waterfall. The clear spring water is divided into three parts, representing longevity, health and wisdom. This clear spring water is regarded as having magical powers by the people. Many people would come and drink the water to prevent diseases and dispel disasters.
After the master and disciple arrived at the temple to offer incense, they went to visit Master Kong Wen. After reporting their names, the attendant brought them to the backyard of Kiyomizu Temple, Master Kong Wen's residence.
"Hahaha, this morning I saw the magpies chirping non-stop on my roof, I knew there would be a happy occasion." Master Kong Wen said as he quickly walked out of his room.
"Master Kong Wen!" Fujiwara No Chiko removed her veil and bamboo hat, dashing in front of Master Kong Wen. Master Kong Wen smiled as he mercifully stroked Fujiwara No Chiko's head. "Chiko, I haven't seen you in three years and you've already grown so big."
Ito Fumio also walked in front of Master Kong Wen, the two nodded their heads in greeting.
"This isn't the place to talk, follow me." Master Kong Wen brought the master and disciple into the room, instructing the attendant not to disturb them before closing the door.
"Master, this is the Go set for you." After the three people sat down, Fujiwara No Chiko handed the Go set to Master Kong Wen. Master Kong Wen took the Go set and said with a smile. "Chiko has really grown up, you still remember this old man likes to play Go. However," Master Kong Wen let out a long sigh. "Ever since your father was born, I no longer play Go with others."
At the mention of her father Fujiwara Kaga, Fujiwara No Chiko's heart once again hurt.
"Forget it, let's not talk about those sad things." Master Kong Wen said to Fujiwara No Chiko, "What have you learned from Master Ito Fumio in these three years?"
Fujiwara No Chiko told Master Kong Wen everything she had learned in these three years. After listening, Master Kong Wen couldn't help but nod. "Good child, you've done very well. This time when you go down the mountain, you master and disciple should stay in the temple for a few more days. While you're at it, you can walk around the temple. I'll have someone arrange accommodation for you in a while. "
"No need." Ito Fumio said. "Master Ito Fumio is busy, we won't disturb you anymore. Chiko," Ito Fumio said to Fujiwara No Chiko, "You go out first, I have something to say to Master Ito Fumio. Without my permission and Master Ito Fumio's permission, no one can come in."
"Yes, Master." Looking at her Master's serious face, Fujiwara No Chiko agreed and walked out of the door. She sat on the steps by the door. Although she and her Master were like father and daughter, her Master was still her Master. She didn't dare to disobey Ito Fumio's words.
Half an hour later, the door opened. Master Ito Fumio and Master Kong Wen came out. Fujiwara No Chiko noticed that Master Kong Wen was frowning, and Ito Fumio was expressionless.
"Chiko, let's go." Ito Fumio said.
"Are we leaving?" Leaving just like that? "Fujiwara Chiko did not know what had happened in the room.
"Yes." Ito Fumio walked down the steps.
Fujiwara No Chiko looked at Master Kong Wen, lowered her head and muttered, "Master Kong Wen, I'm leaving." She turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment." Master Kong Wen said.
Fujiwara No Chiko turned around. Ito Fumio also stopped, but he didn't look back.
Master Kong Wen walked in front of Fujiwara No Chiko, took out a book wrapped in yellow cloth and handed it to Fujiwara No Chiko. "This scripture is for you. Remember to read it when you have nothing to do." Master Kong Wen waved his hand. "Go!" He turned around and went back into the room.
"Let's go." Ito Fumio said coldly and walked towards the door. Fujiwara No Chiko followed behind, her head full of questions. What happened to Master and Master Kong Wen? They were fine just now, why now …
"Master, where are we going?" Fujiwara No Chiko asked Ito Fumio.
"Back." Ito Fumio replied.
"Oh." Fujiwara No Chiko replied reluctantly. She had been cooped up in Mount Fuji for three years. Now that she finally came out to play, she had to go back in less than half a day.
"If you don't want to go back, you can stay here." Ito Fumio stopped and turned around to face Fujiwara No Chiko. "However, you must go back before dawn tomorrow. Do you understand?"
"En." Fujiwara No Chiko said happily. "Thank you, Master."
"En." Ito Fumio said and turned around to leave.
"Qianzi, are you happy now?" Master Kong Wen had appeared behind her at some point in time.
"Master Kong Wen, what happened between you and my master?" Fujiwara No Chiko asked.
"You don't understand adult matters. You are still young. When you grow up in the future, you will understand. " Master Kong Wen said. "Today, you only need to play in the temple. You don't need to think about anything else. You are still safe in this temple. Tomorrow, I will personally send you back. How about it? "
"En." Fujiwara No Chiko happily agreed.
On this day, Master Kong Wen postponed all temple affairs and took Fujiwara No Chiko to visit Kiyomizu Temple. Under Master Kong Wen's explanation, she understood the process of Shakyamuni Buddha becoming a Buddha. She also understood the compassion of Guanyin Bodhisattva. She also understood the principle of impermanence. She also understood the reason of good karma.
After dinner, Master Kong Wen took Fujiwara No Chiko to walk on a small path in the temple. The night was as cool as water. The bright moon was high in the sky. In this quiet environment of Kiyomizu Temple, Fujiwara No Chiko felt incomparably relaxed.
"Chiko," Master Kong Wen said to Fujiwara No Chiko. "Everything in the world is impermanent. Everything happens for a reason. You must know that there is always a cause and an effect. Now that you have grown up, you must think carefully about what you should do and what you shouldn't do. Do you understand? "
"En." Fujiwara No Chiko agreed.
"It's already late. You should go and rest. I will send you back tomorrow morning. " After Master Kong Wen finished speaking, he sent Fujiwara No Chiko to the guest room. He also arranged for someone to secretly protect Fujiwara No Chiko in order to prevent a sneak attack in the middle of the night.
That night, Fujiwara No Chiko tossed and turned in bed. She understood Master Kong Wen's words very well. The meaning was very obvious. He wanted her to give up the idea of avenging her father. However, her father, Fujiwara Kaga, was framed and killed. As the saying goes, the hatred of one's father is irreconcilable. She could not let go of her father's murderer, Matsumoto Takeyoshi. Then again, even if she could do it, those people who wanted to kill her would still follow her like a ghost, looking for an opportunity to kill her.
"Master Kong Wen, I am sorry." She put the yellow cloth wrapped "Lotus Sutra" under her pillow.
