Volume 4: The Undead Chapter 188: Tenmanji Temple (Part 1)
"Donor." Zong Hai, who was walking in front, turned around and asked Ogata, "Is the female donor on your back injured?"
"No." Ogata shook his head and lifted Atachi up again. "She's just tired."
"I'm glad you're not hurt." After saying that, Zong Hai, who was still wearing the evil ghost mask, turned his head back and continued to lead the way with concentration.
After Soumi turned his head back, Atachi, who was lying on Ogata's back, thanked Ogata again in a low voice that only she and Ogata could hear:
"Thanks……"
"It's just a small matter." Ogata responded softly.
Ogata, who was still carrying Ating on his back, did not follow closely behind Zonghai, but kept a long distance between them.
The reason why Ogata stayed so far away from Soumi was to prevent Soumi from smelling the scent on Ating's body.
The real reason why he still carried Atachi on his back was not because Atachi was tired as Ogata had just said, but to prevent Sokai from seeing that Atachi's hakama was wet.
Recalling the shameful act she had just done, Atachi's cheeks turned red again.
"I really want to die..."
While muttering this, Atachi buried her face in Ogata's back again.
I finally got rid of those monsters and thought I was free, but at the last moment I was scared by the mask on Zong Hai's face.
This moment of relaxation caused the originally tense muscles in his lower abdomen to relax all at once.
And this moment of relaxation directly... collapsed a thousand miles away...
Peeing on someone's back made both him and that person take a unique "hot bath" - this kind of embarrassing thing, every time Ah Ting recalled it, he would have the idea of committing suicide...
"It was just an accident..." Ogata sighed softly, "Just treat it as a nightmare and forget about it."
"How can I forget something like this?" Ating said aggrievedly, "Don't tell anyone else that I peed on you..."
Hearing A-Machi's request, Ogata sighed softly.
Then, he said seriously:
"I, Ogata Issei, swear before all the gods and Buddhas that today's accident is a secret between me and Ating. I will never let a third person know about it."
At this point, in order to strengthen his persuasiveness, Ogata paused for a moment and added:
"Till death do us part."
"…If I find out that you dare to tell others about my embarrassing incident today, I will not forgive you. " Ating said in a bad tone.
"There's nothing much to say about this kind of thing that has also brought disaster upon myself..."
After saying that, Ogata turned his gaze back and looked at Zong Hai who was walking in front.
"Hey! Zong Hai! How far is it to your temple? It seems we have been walking for half an hour?"
"Almost there!" Zong Hai said without turning his head, "We will reach my temple after walking a little further up the mountain road."
Sokai - the Buddhist name of the monk who just helped Ogata and Atachi escape the monsters' pursuit.
After introducing themselves to each other, Xu Fang asked Zong Hai many questions and learned a lot about Zong Hai.
Zong Hai is an islander of Die Island. He lives a quiet life in a remote place on Die Island, practicing Buddhism silently.
Today, when I went out to pick wild vegetables, I accidentally met Ogata and the other two who were being chased by monsters, so I helped them get rid of those monsters.
After finally meeting the inhabitants of Butterfly Island, neither Ogata nor Atachi wanted to miss this great opportunity to obtain information about the island, and they threw questions to Zong Hai one after another.
In response to the numerous questions thrown by Ogata and the other man, Zong Hai sighed helplessly and said, "This is not the place to talk. If you two really want to know the answers to these questions, then please follow me to my temple. After we return to my temple, I will answer your questions one by one."
Although Zong Hai helped them once, he was still a stranger to Ogata and the others.
Coming to a stranger's territory - this made Ogata and Atachi hesitate.
After hesitating for a while, they both made the same choice - to go to Zong Hai's temple!
The two men finally met an islander, and neither of them was willing to give up this great opportunity to obtain a lot of information.
Therefore, the current scene appears where Soumi is leading the way in front, while Ogata and Atachi are following behind, heading towards Soumi's temple.
At first, when Ogata heard Sokai say that his temple was located in a remote area, he thought it was just Sokai's humble words.
It was not until he followed Soumi and set out for his temple that Ogata realized that Soumi was not being humble at all.
Ogata followed Zong Hai for nearly half an hour , but did not see any trace of the temple.
After Ogata finished complaining about the location of the Zonghai temple, Zonghai chuckled a few times:
"It is precisely because my temple is so remote that I have been able to survive until now on this island filled with Rakshasas."
"Rakshasa..." Ogata asked in confusion, "Are you referring to those purple-eyed monsters that couldn't be killed no matter how hard you tried?"
"That's right." Zong Hai nodded, "I call those monsters 'Rakshasa', and I remember you outsiders call them 'Man-Eating Ghosts', right?"
"How do you know we all call them cannibals?" Ogata narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Because I took in a stranger who was driven to this Butterfly Island just like you guys."
"According to him, he was one of the second batch of prisoners sent to this island. Due to various coincidences, he has converted to Buddhism and is practicing Buddhism here with me."
"May I ask you two, are you new prisoners sent to this island?"
"We are the fourth batch of prisoners sent to this island," A-Ming replied.
"The fourth batch?" Zong Hai murmured, "Have so many foreigners already landed on this island?"
"You knew that we were prisoners forced to this island, and you still dared to take us to your temple?" Ogata asked.
"What is there to be afraid of?" However, Zong Hai asked back.
Still wearing the devil mask, Zong Hai turned around and glanced at Ogata and Atachi.
Although Ogata couldn't see Soumi's expression because of the mask, he could vaguely feel that Soumi was smiling warmly at them.
Ogata could only see Sokai's eyes that were not covered by the mask.
Munemi's eyes made Ogata think of the sea involuntarily - calm and deep.
"I saw it at a glance."
Zong Hai spoke softly in a calm and gentle voice.
"You two are not evil people. Even if I let you into the temple, I can still rest assured."
"It is precisely because I saw that you two are not evildoers that I helped you when you were attacked by the Rakshasa just now."
