Behind the Scenes: From Pirates to Tokyo

Chapter 48 This Is Our Interpretation
Hearing the trembling questions from the police, the abbot of Gaodeyuan showed a mysterious smile.

Although he was the one who was so frightened by the Buddha's appearance just now, it didn't prevent the old abbot who came back to his senses from smiling like a real eminent monk.

Put it in "Tai Ge Li Zhi Biography 5", this dress can at least teach top-level etiquette.

"The poor monk still doesn't know exactly why the Buddha appeared, but he has some guesses about why the weapons of several people were confiscated."

After confirming that this is the manifestation of the Buddha, the abbot of Gaodeyuan explained the idea that the Buddha could not bear the common people to fall into war, so he confiscated the weapons.

Although this is the explanation put forward by the young monks in the temple just now, since it was put forward in the temple of the poor monk, it is naturally the result of the poor monk.

The abbot of Gaodeyuan's explanation stunned several police officers. So this kind of explanation is also possible?

Although they still had some doubts in their hearts, several people kept nodding their heads and said: "That's it" / "I completely understand" / "You are indeed a Buddha".

Behind you is the Buddha who looks like Gundam, and everything you say is right.

The plan to persuade Hirahachiro Murokura to surrender completely failed, and such a big incident happened in Kotoku-in. The only lucky thing is that the Kamakura Buddha is really just standing there, not looking threatening at all.

This is one of the few good news.

A policeman looked up at the Giant Buddha and said in a deep voice, "The higher-ups have been notified of the changes to the Buddha. They told us to stay put and we will have a solution soon."

…………

Kasumigaseki's solution was straightforward, simple and rude.

The streets around Kotokuin were all cordoned off by the Kanagawa prefectural police. Only internal personnel were allowed to leave and no external vehicles were allowed to enter.

If it weren't for the fact that the Shinkansen is really important, once it stops, the traffic in Japan will be paralyzed. I wish I could stop this line of Tokaido as well.

"Quick, quickly install this piece of scaffolding."

"The green cloth is here."

"Three! Two! One! Pull!"

And in Gaodeyuan... At this moment, Gaodeyuan has become a large construction site, and the dispatched construction workers are quickly building a building frame around the standing Buddha statue.

With layers of brackets being erected, the Buddha statue was also covered with dust-proof nets. A dust-proof net alone was not enough. In order not to be directly observed by the outside world, another thick layer was installed outside the dust-proof net. Thick green cloth.

If you don't tell others that there is the Great Buddha of Kamakura here, you may think that this is a construction site for some high-rise residential buildings.

Although... it is a bit strange to have such a tall building and residence in the temple.

"Isn't this... deception?"

The National Police, who had been guarding Gaodeyuan all day, had a cigarette in his mouth, looked at the construction site in front of him and didn't know what to say: "In this way, not everyone knows that something big happened in Gaodeyuan."

"What can I do if I hide my ears and steal my bell? Is it enough to put such a standing up Buddha in the outside world for others to see?"

"How about finding some construction vehicles to tow the Buddha away?"

"The big Buddha is right in front of you. If you say such disrespectful words, be careful to be punished by Lord Buddha."

Whether to worry about being punished by the Buddha is another matter, but the construction workers who were sent to cover the Buddha with a 'cloak' were at a loss.

Although few of them are from Kanagawa, the fact that the Kamakura Buddha is in a sitting position is a national-level knowledge they have learned from textbooks since they were young.

"In the short video I watched in the afternoon, it turned out that the Buddha stood up for real..."

"Amitabha, Amitabha, the Lord Buddha has appeared, the Lord Buddha has appeared."

"We want to cover Lord Buddha, such a disrespectful behavior will not make Lord Buddha angry!"

Seeing that the fear of belief made several workers dare not start work at all, a policeman said in a hurry: "Is it disrespectful to put the manifested Buddha outside in the wind and sun? Have you seen any temples?" Isn’t the Buddha and Avalokitesvara in the hall placed in the main hall?”

While talking, the policeman put his palms together and prostrated: "It's a great credit for us to do this, and Lord Buddha will definitely protect us in the eyes of us."

To deal with superstitious discourse among workers, it is natural to interpret it in the same superstitious way.

Hearing the operator's words, several trembling workers immediately relieved their psychological burden—indeed, no matter whether it is a large national treasure temple or a small temple in the wilderness, the Buddha statues are all placed in the Buddhist temple .

Thinking about it this way, the one who was disrespectful was obviously the monk Tulu from Gaodeyuan.

"Oh, your explanation is very good, are you interested in being transferred to the new department?"

A few middle-aged men with high police ranks walked in from outside Gaode Courtyard.

"Chief Inspector Makito!"

"Inspector."

The people who came were all big figures from the Public Security Investigation Department—but I had never seen that stinking old man who looked very proud.

Accompanied by several senior police officers was the abbot of Gaodeyuan. The abbot is now radiant, and he is not as flustered as before by the big Buddha.

"Abbot of Shangwu, Gaodeyuan really deserves to be a sacred place for Buddhism, so that the Buddha can appear here."

"There is no holy place for Buddhism, but all the monks in our courtyard devote themselves to the Buddha and worship the Buddha all day long." As he spoke, the old abbot folded his hands together and bowed to the Buddha. an honor."

Regardless of whether or not they felt that Gaodeyuan was a holy place for Buddhism, several senior police officers clasped their hands together and prostrated in a very respectful way.

Even if the abbot Shangwu didn't say anything, several police officers were ready to bow and salute when they arrived. The Buddha appeared, so you have to believe a little bit.

If it weren't for seeing too many colleagues around him, I'm afraid he would have lit incense sticks taller than human beings for Lord Buddha by this time.

"Chairman Shangwu, my department very much agrees with the speculation of the monks in your monastery about the Buddha's manifestation. The Lord Buddha must not bear to see the disaster of swords and weapons in the world, so he confiscated all the weapons."

The old abbot nodded in agreement and then began to drop the book bag: "Amitabha. All living beings have desires and desires, and desires are the basis. Mothers and sons fight together, and sons and mothers fight together. Fathers and sons, brothers, sisters, and relatives go back and forth and fight together. What's the trouble."

Although they couldn't understand the Buddhist scriptures mixed with Chinese terminology, they still put on an expression of "I fully understand" and "Isn't that the case?" and nodded.

"That's what it means, abbot, so we decided to help Lord Buddha."

The head of the supernatural department nodded sympathetically, and then nodded to the following operators.

From just now, these operators have followed Gaodeyuan together, but they are holding a big box in their arms in two groups, and they don't know what is inside.

"Help? You mean..."

The old abbot looked at the police officers in a daze. Could it be that he wanted to invite some eminent monks from other temples?

Several policemen carrying boxes answered the old abbot's confusion with practical actions.

They put the box on the ground and opened the flap.

"Whoa!!"

"Whoa!!"

Guns poured out of the box one by one.

The yellow bullet belt hit the ground with a crisp sound.

"That's our interpretation."
