After brushing up the heroine's hatred, I crossed

Chapter 136 136. Negotiating Maniacs (Two in One)

On the outskirts of Kyoto, Uji.

A small town adjacent to Kyoto, only half an hour's drive from Nara.

The Uji River, which originates from Lake Biwa and joins the Yodo River on the way, flows through this place.

Ujigawa has been a popular resort for Kyoto nobles since ancient times.

In summer, they will come here to relieve boredom and cool off.

In fact, Uji was also the stage of ancient wars.

The Genpei battle that took place here was an important battle in which the samurai regime officially entered the historical stage.

In 1184, on both sides of the Uji River, Minamoto Yoshitsune defeated Rising Sun General Minamoto Yoshinaka. Since then, Kanto Kamakura has officially established its dominant position over Kansai.

Standing in front of Minamoto Yoshitomo was nothing but the remnants of the Heike family who fled to Tannoura while lingering on their last legs.

The next year, the Heike family collapsed, and Minamoto Yoritomo, who was scornfully called the Kanto barbarian, established the first samurai regime in history - the Kamakura Shogunate.

Utsunomiya Renhua chose this place to meet Fujiwara Sakuraya.

In addition to being deceptive, its symbolic meaning is self-evident.

The meeting place is called Byodoin Phoenix Hall.

It is a temple garden in the style of pond spring boat tour in the Heian period, facing the Uji River in front and Mount Asahi in the distance.

Mr. Guanbai, Fujiwara Michizhang rebuilt the garden here, and later his son Fujiwara Yorimichi rebuilt it into the Amitabha Hall.Because the roof is decorated with phoenixes, the building itself has left and right wing corridors, resembling a phoenix spreading its wings and ready to fly. Later generations called it Phoenix Hall.

Byodoin means that the Buddha's relief to all living beings is equal.It is said that the Phoenix Hall was built according to the scenes in the Dunhuang murals of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, the most important thing is that this is the villa of the Fujiwara family.

It is the house of Fujiwara Sakuraya.

"Is it too targeted?"

After meeting.

Osamu Aizawa looked at the expressionless Fujiwara Sakuraya, and muttered to himself.

Not only did Ujigawa meet, but he also blatantly robbed her family of world heritage, and in turn treated her like a host?

"what?"

Utsunomiya Renhua walked in front, turned around and asked.

"It's nothing. The scenery of the Uji River is really nice." Osamu Aizawa replied.

Perhaps, people in the capital are in a state of panic, and every family is inquiring about the situation, and there are many people with mixed eyes.

It is indeed more reasonable to choose the suburbs.

"Yes, the last ten posts of "The Tale of Genji" took place in Uji, which is also the hometown of Murasaki Shikibu. There is also a museum of "The Tale of Genji" by the river. It's still early, do you want to go and see it?"

Utsunomiya Renhua, standing by the Nakajima Bridge, looked at the endless river and invited.

"Let's get down to business."

Fujiwara Sakura glanced at her and said indifferently.

It was her task as a local aborigine to lead Osamu Aizawa to visit Uji. She originally planned to come here again after the two got married.

But she was robbed by Utsunomiya Renhua out of thin air, she was very unhappy.

"I'm asking Xiu." Utsunomiya Lianhua replied.

The sharp eyes of the two looked at Osamu Aizawa, and it was a bit difficult for him to be caught in the middle.

"Where are you going, Xiu?"

"this."

The seemingly simple question is actually a confrontation between two women. If one side is favored, the other side is bound to be sad.

Shiori Shimizu opened the folding fan and let out a giggle: "Anyway, it's not too late, let's go shopping again. I remember the wagashi here, which is quite delicious."

"I think so too." Now that someone came forward, Osamu Aizawa took the opportunity to nod, "Ujigawa, I haven't visited yet."

"Humph."

Fujiwara Sakuraya flicked his sleeves, which was a default.

So Osamu Aizawa followed them and went to the shrines on both sides of the Uji River.

In Ito Kyuemon, a century-old tea shop, I drank Suntory. No, it is authentic Uji matcha.

Matcha is a kind of green tea that is ground into powder with a natural stone mill, and Uji tea is the most famous.

"so cute."

Ujigami Shrine, the oldest national treasure shrine.

Shiori Shimizu held the white rabbit-shaped lottery unique to the shrine and played with it in her hand.

The guardian of Ujigami Shrine is a cute little rabbit, who comes from the son of Emperor Ojin, Todojiroko.

It is said that when he was young, he was intelligent and enlightened, and he was favored by his father and king, and he was made the crown prince.After the death of Emperor Yingshen, he decided to abdicate his elder brother, the Great Wren Prince, and the Great Wren Prince respected his father's will and refused to accept it.

The brothers were modest, so that the seat was vacant for three years. In the end, Tudao Zhilangzi jumped into the Uji River and committed suicide in order to make way for his elder brother, Prince Wren. It is a good story.

There is a sign in the belly of the little rabbit. If the lottery is lucky, you can take it away as a souvenir. If the sign is not good, you can leave the rabbit in the shrine.

"Want to try?"

Shiori Shimizu handed the rabbit to Fujiwara Sakura: "Try your luck."

"What luck?"

"Will the capital be recovered successfully or something." Shiori Shimizu laughed.

"Stupid."

Even though she has seen so many gods, she has always believed that it is man-made, and asking for a lottery is just a psychological comfort for herself.

Moreover, Kyoto ruled on this matter.

Success or failure is between Utsunomiya Lianhua's thought, so what does it have to do with the gods?
And at this time, after Utsunomiya Renka paid homage to the gods, she picked up a rabbit, drew out the signature, and handed it to Osamu Aizawa with a smile.

"Good luck."

Osamu Aizawa looked at the letter signed by Zhu Hong, and thought to himself, what good luck is this about?
Fujiwara Sakuraya's face was ugly, thinking of the same thing, she grabbed the rabbit from Shiori Shimizu's hand and roughly opened it.

After seeing the signature, his face became more and more gloomy.

Shiori Shimizu leaned over, looked at the black text and read: "Big fierce."

With a cold face, Fujiwara Sakuraya handed the rabbit to Shiori Shimizu, went to the donation box and swung the rope to stuff the money, and then got the rabbit's signature in person.

However, this time, it was still black unknown text.

"real or fake."

Lucky and unlucky, as rare signatures, the winning rate is not high.

Even some shrines, in order to avoid bad mood of tourists, make a lot of good luck and directly eliminate the bad luck.

However, Utsunomiya Renhua and Fujiwara Yingye happened to have a good luck for one person and a bad luck for the other person, or twice.

Does this mean that the subsequent negotiations will not go smoothly?
"It's just a thing to pass the time, no one really believes it, right?"

Utsunomiya Renka squeezed the rabbit and looked at Fujiwara Sakura playfully.

"Tsk."

Fujiwara Sakura clucked her tongue openly and walked outside the shrine.

"Hey, Lianhua, what wish did you just make?" Shiori Shiori asked.

"hope everything is fine."

Utsunomiya Renka glanced at Osamu Aizawa, the corners of her mouth curled up.

Then, I lost my mood because of the lottery.

Fujiwara Sakura stopped talking after that, and let Utsunomiya Renka lead Aizawa Osamu to wander around Uji.

However, the area of ​​Uji is not big, except for drinking a few bowls of Uji matcha and eating a bowl of matcha buckwheat noodle soup.

Osamu Aizawa finally returned to Uji Kami Shrine, and the opposite Uji River is the Phoenix Hall of Byodoin Temple.

After the war, only the "Phoenix Hall", "Guanyin Hall" and "Bell Tower" remained, the most important of which was the "Phoenix Hall".

The Phoenix Hall is built on a small island, and the surface of the small island is paved with pebbles the size of a fist, extending into the water.

On the front is a pool, called Aji Pond, which symbolizes belief in Amitabha Buddha.

The water in Azichi is crystal clear and exudes a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.Under the sunlight, the water in the pool shimmers like a mirror reflecting the reflection of the sky and Phoenix Hall.

The two sides of the Phoenix Hall are connected by small bridges, and no one is currently staying.According to Utsunomiya Renka, in order to guard the Buddhist hall, the general public has been expelled under martial law, making the area around the Phoenix Hall safe and sound.

Osamu Aizawa stepped on the small bridge and looked at the Phoenix Hall from a distance, and he could see a building made of vermilion lacquered wood.The exterior wall of Phoenix Hall is made of vermilion, giving people a sense of solemnity.The whole building is like a phoenix about to fly on the island, reflecting the reflection in the water, creating a dreamlike beauty.

The architecture of the Phoenix Hall is integrated with the garden, forming a scene like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water.The red walls, carved beams and painted buildings in the building blend with the surrounding natural environment, forming a charming and quiet Buddhist Zen garden.

Compared with the simple 33 halls, the Phoenix hall is made of vermilion lacquered wood, which is generous and elegant, and Osamu Aizawa can't help but stand and pay attention.

Perhaps this is the power of architecture, just standing there quietly can shock people.

"It's so beautiful."

Shiori Shimizu clasped her hands together and bowed to Phoenix Hall.

"."

Fujiwara Sakuraya walked down the bridge first and entered the nave.

The main statue in the hall is the sitting statue of Amitabha Buddha, with the seal of meditation. Above the door frame and below the buttresses on the surrounding walls, there are 52 woodcarved statues of Bodhisattvas offering offerings in the clouds, or holding sacred objects, or playing music and dancing.

Several low tables with cushions are placed under the Buddha statue.

Fujiwara Sakura glanced at the Buddha statue, sat down with a flick of his sleeves, and after waiting for a while, Aizawa Osamu and the three entered the hall.

"Okay, what are we going to do? Is it time to talk?"

Fujiwara Sakuraya looked at Utsunomiya Renhua, and felt more and more that the smile on her mouth was a bit unbearable.

"What do you want to talk about?"

After sitting down, Utsunomiya Renhua asked.

"Of course it's Kyoto. How can you retreat?"

"Why should I retreat?" Utsunomiya Renhua took a sip from her teacup, "If you occupied Tokyo, would you retreat obediently just based on my words?"

"No." Fujiwara Sakura raised her neck and replied.

"Look, this is her attitude, Xiu, why are you helping her?" Utsunomiya Renhua said to Aizawa Ou.

"Uh"

Osamu Aizawa winked at Sakuraya Fujiwara, you were stolen from your house, why are you still so stubborn?

"Hmph, even if I beg you in a low voice, will you quit the capital?"

"How do you know if you don't try?"

"After trying it, will I be humiliated by you again?"

"That's right, I really want to see you bow your head."

"."

As he spoke, he became angry.

Inside the Phoenix Hall, the tense atmosphere between the two filled the entire space with a sense of oppression.The coercion they exuded was like invisible waves, gradually covering the Buddhist hall, making the atmosphere low and heavy.

The red lacquered wood veneer on the wall seemed to be bent at any time under the pressure.Every piece of wood texture seems to be in a tense state, trembling slightly, like a quiet musical instrument in a Buddhist hall trembling rapidly.

"Speak well," Osamu Aizawa said helplessly.

Is this the aura of the Great Ming God?

If he really lets go, Uji will be beaten to death by them.

Shiori Shimizu sat on the side, clenched her fists with a smile, and said, "Fight, fight."

At this time, the sunlight poured in through the tall windows, reflecting on the floor to form mottled light spots.The light that was supposed to be warm and bright looked dim under the influence of coercion.

The Buddha statue in the room also seemed to feel this coercion. The golden body shone slightly, and the smoke rose from the incense burner and permeated the air. It seemed warm, but it couldn't completely dispel the heaviness and tension.

Fujiwara Sakuraya and Utsunomiya Renka looked at each other for a long time.

In the end, Fujiwara Sakuraya turned her face away and asked coldly, "Where is Asagiri Egret? Where did that woman go?"

"."

Yes.

According to the information leaked by Kawasumi, Asagiri Egret seems to be in Kyoto at the moment, and she was the one who accompanied Utsunomiya Renka on a tour of the mountains and waters, visiting all the places of interest in Kyoto.

Seems to be looking for something.

How could she not be here?

In terms of emotion and reason, you have to show your face.

"Oh, do you really want to see her?" Utsunomiya Renhua smiled.

"Where is she?"

"Do you really want to ask her why she, who was originally an ally, turned her gun around and caused chaos in Kyoto instead?"

".What's the meaning?"

Osamu Aizawa asked, "Alliance?"

Fujiwara Sakura didn't answer, Utsunomiya Renka glanced at her, and explained: "Before Asagiri Shirato, he was entrusted by Fujiwara Sakura to wreak havoc in Tokyo.

I myself have faced several assassinations by her. "

"."

Osamu Aizawa remembered that Matsudaira Motoji said that she had been assassinated several times.

It turned out that the culprit was Fujiwara Sakuraya?

"I just asked her to cause trouble for the Union." Fujiwara Sakuraya said, "As for the method, that is her own choice."

"But isn't the biggest trouble caused by my death?" Utsunomiya Lianhua replied.

"."

No wonder, she didn't want to quit Kyoto.

It turned out that there was still this layer of grievances in it.

"Xiu, do you think I still want to be a good person?" Utsunomiya Lianhua asked.

Before Osamu Aizawa could speak, Fujiwara Sakuraya rushed to say:
"Even if you don't want to leave, I have plenty of ways to drive you out."

"Oh, how?"

"There are hundreds of shrines in Kyoto. As long as I give an order, the sealed gods will wake up immediately." Fujiwara Sakura looked up at her and said, "How long do you think the unification will be able to resist?"

Utsunomiya Renhua put down her teacup, applauded and mocked:
"It's amazing. In order to expel us, even the lives of millions of people in Kyoto are not wanted."

Summoning gods is the prerogative of Fujiwara Sakuraya. After all, Kyoto is the palace of Amaterasu. The ancient history and beliefs allow a large group of gods to come to the world at any time.

However, this is a way of hurting a thousand enemies and self-damaging the entire capital.

Of course, Utsunomiya Lianhua can't beat so many gods, but gods are not existences that you can call and go when you call them.

If they are not controlled, they will inevitably affect ordinary people.

At that time, even if the Confederation is expelled, Kyoto will be about the same, and will disappear from the islands.

"The congregation is on my side, even the gods are just his food." Fujiwara Yingye said.

"As expected, you are crazy." Utsunomiya Lianhua said lightly.

"This is a negotiation."

Fujiwara Sakura frowned.

Negotiations are naturally about putting as much pressure as possible.

Of course she will not abandon the people of Kyoto.

"Just right, I'm crazy too, you can wake up the gods now."

".What's the meaning?"

"I said, you can destroy Kyoto, I really want to see it."

"You are the madman."
