Vol 2 Chapter 10: Singing in Myogan Temple

  Heizo naturally wanted to help Tademon Gate to cheer. Not only did he prepare to go with him, he also asked his brother to borrow two husbands who worked at the temple to carry tiger skins. As for the eyesight of the two men, there are quite a few who are willing to sell well in front of the new boss, and follow them to the temple to show off their power.

   Bringing a dozen or so helpers, Chuemon is also "returning to the hometown"? Or is it that the three-year period of son-in-law has come, and the dragon king returns to his throne and worships in all directions?

  Hahahahahaha, it’s a good flower...

  The full name of the temple is Myoganji Toyokawa Inari Shrine (Imumura). It has a Japanese-style name. It is a combination of gods and Buddhas. The temple enshrines Fengchuan Inari God and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. No need to say more about Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. Basically everyone knows it. Toyokawa Inari is one of the three major inari in Japan and belongs to the **** of agriculture.

The main mountain is near Toyokawa, which is the part of the Mikawa country where Tokugawa Ieyasu’s hometown is. For this reason, Toyokawa Inari, as a **** who prays for prosperity, good fortune, and a good harvest, has received a certain degree of attention from the Tokugawa family. . This Myogan Temple Toyokawa Inari Shrine (hereinafter referred to as Myogan Temple) is also a good incense and has many followers. It is also a Bodhi Temple for many samurai from Mikawa.

   The most famous benefactor of the entire temple, by coincidence, is an old acquaintance of Tademon and Heishi-Ooka Echizen Mamoru Tadao. Who said that Ooka Tadashi was the lord of the Nishi-Ohei clan of Mikawa Kingdom? He himself was one of the believers of Toyokawa Inari. Since this Myogan Temple is dedicated to Toyokawa Inari, he is simply a member of the Ooka family Bodhi Temple got it.

   Most of the life of the daimyo of the Edo shogunate, or from birth to death, almost lived in Edo. The strict attendance accountability system made it impossible for most princes to return to their roots and die in their own feudal clan. It is normal to have Bodhi Temple in Edo, but the Bodhi Temple of the Shogun’s Oroi Ishi is located in Gotokuji Temple in Edo Castle.

   If history is not changed, the future Oro Ii Naobi will be buried in Gotokuji Temple after he was killed. If you are interested, you can go and take a look at it. The entire burial place is very small, and you have to look for it carefully. It is almost lost in the cemetery.

   Myoyan Temple is neither small nor large. After walking through Omotesando, the wise guest monk inside saw an official visit and immediately greeted him. When Shi Chungemon and Heizo were discovered, his mouth almost couldn't close.

   The two novice monks who left the temple a year ago have returned to Miaoyan Temple in fresh clothes and angry horses. In particular, Heizo was still riding a horse, with a servant of the temple shrine behind him, while Chuemon did not have the qualifications to ride a horse, but he also sat on a sedan chair.

I heard that it was Lord Edogawa Chuemon who was going to take a sedan chair. Originally, it cost 150 yuan, but now I don’t take a cent. They also said they would wait for the adult to finish the incense at the entrance of Myogan Temple and send the adult back. .

   How did Tademon Tademon take advantage of this kind of coolie bearer, and took out a small one-cent gold coin, saying that he had wrapped them up today. The two people knelt on the ground thankfully and kowtowed to Chuemon, praised Chuemon as a good official like Ooka Echizen, clear as water and bright as a mirror.

   We're not really good officials, just don't want to be that greedy person!

   One of the Zhike monks ran back to report the letter, and the other two led Chungemon and Hei San into the temple. Naturally, they were quick to tell them that this is the famous Edo thieves and Rikanmaru Kuniyoshi who are famous in Edo recently, and the Edo thieves and Edogawa Chuemon-sama.

   Looking at the astonished monk, Ping San slapped his shoulders when he went up. Do you still remember the fact that you kid sent me to hold firewood in the big winter? I am now developed, Xiaoye. Tell me how to apologize and scare the confidant monk to a shameless face.

   Don’t look at Yuli and the reforms are not in charge, and they are not high officials, but the real power is not small. It may be difficult to break a monastery, but it is not a word to make a monk half dead! Not to mention our Pingsan father, that is the current management practiced by the temple.

   Frightened the Zhike Monk for a while, Ping San was in a good mood and laughed!

   But today, it seems that more than a group of people like Chuemon came to the temple. After the two entered, many merchants and townspeople entered the temple one after another. Chuemon asked and realized that besides the 300-day festival of the loving monk who has passed away, it is also the day when the spring and summer auctions of Myoganji Temple will be held.

   Of course, this meeting is not called an auction, it is called a "singing and selling meeting."

   After all, a monk who does things, if he can't sing, he still plays a hammer ritual. This singing and selling is not unusual. Just like an auction, the temple will take out some items, while singing and introducing what it is, and at the same time asking the customers below to make a price, the higher price will get.

The things sold by    are generally the relics of the dead monks. The proceeds from the sale ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ are generally used to support the elderly and poor monks in the monastery, or to help the poor people. According to the truth, monks should be brought to life or not. Therefore, auctioning the relics to raise money to help those in need is the most appropriate way to dispose of them.

   "Please don't worry, my lord, this time I sing and sell the foreign objects of the archmage who lived first." Seeing Chuemon, a monk frowned slightly, knowing what Chuemon was suspicious.

   The Three Hundred Days Ceremony of the Loved Monk, you will sell the remains of the dead monk here, who knows which monk you are selling. After listening to what the wise guest monk said, Chungemon understood it.

   Japanese monks, although it seems that Hongan Temple has become a complete temple for descendants, but some sects are still passed on from the mantle, not between father and son. So a resident, when he was a resident, he was the administrator of the monastery, but not the owner. The owner is the monks of the entire monastery.

   Therefore, this kind of residence monk has his own personal property, and also uses the public property of the temple to purchase utensils for daily life and Buddhist rituals. These things are the monk’s foreign objects. After his death, they belonged to the monastery again and were disposed of by the monastery. Or keep it and continue to use it, or just like today, take it out and sell it for real.

   It’s not wrong at all, this group of people still did not dare to break the door and unlock, and took away the legacy of the loving old monk!

   "Has the great festival started?" Chuemon nodded and continued to ask.

"Brothers are ready." The deceased kind monk was the master of Chuemon and many other monks. Even if Chuemon does not come, they will still hold the 300-day festival. This is theirs. Duty.

   "Okay!" For the time being, Tadaemon, letting go of other things for the time being, it is still necessary to read a scripture to the loving monk like our original owner and half dad.
