Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 317 Master Axe Technique

After a long time, the lips parted.

GAKKI-chan blushed, looked at her watch, and said, "Ah, it's so late. It seems we can't go to 'Oshino Hakkai'."

"It's okay, it's not a pity. It's just an ancient town developed for tourism, with a few sweet water wells. If you don't have the right time, you won't have to go." Lin Yuan replied.

More than ten years later, there were also a large number of ancient towns in China that were over-commercialized, and I won’t name them specifically.

"Let's go, we should go to Kuonji Temple."

The two drove all the way towards Mount Minobu not far away.

Kuon-ji Temple is located at an altitude of more than 300 meters on Mount Minobu. It is the head temple of the Nichiren sect and the mausoleum of Nichiren Saint. It is also regarded as a sacred mountain by believers.

Nichiren Saint?

A high monk in the Kamakura period of Japan and the founder of the Nichiren sect of Buddhism, he was not a mythical figure as described in ancient literature as "all those below the saint are ants."

It can be seen that when the Japanese praise someone, they can really use all kinds of titles to praise him.

While Lin Yuan was still alive, he had already earned the title of "Sword God" in Japan.

This is really outrageous.

In China, before a person dies, don’t even think about being deified or canonized as a saint.

No one allows such an awesome person to exist. Fame is profit.

The vehicle drove all the way to the parking lot at the foot of Mount Minobu, and GAKKI stopped the car.

Lin Yuan looked around: "We're here already? Why can't I see the temple?"

"This is the mountain gate, we have to go in." said GAKKI.

Lin Yuan looked at the sky around him which was gradually getting darker. Under the dim street lights, the trail ahead passed through the woods and seemed exceptionally quiet.

This is a great place for couples to take a walk!

"How far do we need to go?" Lin Yuan asked curiously.

The environment is very good, and it is pleasant to take a walk on the forest trails.

"About 1300 meters." GAKKI replied.

"It's not too far." Lin Yuan said.

“But there are some steps to climb in the middle.”

"How many steps?"

"Level 287."

"..."

Outside the upper gate of Kuonji Temple is a 1300-meter-long pilgrimage path, with dense cedar forests on both sides.

There is a "Bodhi Staircase" with 287 steps in the forest. It is said that climbing these steps will bless you with good health and a long life.

Many tourists who have been here say that it is really effective and has magical blessing effects.

Regarding this... Lin Yuan just wants to say: This may be survivor bias.

Lin Yuan looked at the stairs in front of him. Each step was really very high. It was estimated that each step was nearly 25 centimeters!
Ordinary steps are usually only about 15 cm.

In this way, the total height of the 287 steps is about 75 meters, which is equivalent to 26 or 7 floors.

Anyone who can climb these 287 steps must have good physical fitness. Such a person will definitely not die in the short term and can live for a very long time.

Those with mobility impairments or illnesses simply cannot climb up.

Tourists who have climbed these Bodhi stairs will certainly feel healthy.

Because you are healthy!
"What's wrong? Lin Yuan-san can't climb anymore?" asked GAKKI.

How is that possible! A man can never say no!
Lin Yuan walked forward first, and GAKKI came jogging from behind him and held his hand.

"Are you okay climbing these stairs?" Lin Yuan was really worried about GAKKI-chan. After all, for a girl, this amount of exercise was quite a lot.

"It's okay, I'm in good physical condition and the shoes I'm wearing today are very convenient for exercise." GAKKI replied.

After saying that, GAKKI-chan raised her legs.

Today she accompanied Lin Yuan to meet Idei Nobuyuki. She was wearing a professional skirt and a pair of black calfskin flat shoes under her flesh-colored stockings.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yuan suddenly remembered:

Every time Taylor Swift meets up with Lin Yuan, she wears high heels, creating an excuse for intimacy. Meanwhile, GAKKI always wears flats, hoping to move more easily and take Lin Yuan out more often.

If you think about it carefully, it's really interesting. The two girls have completely different thoughts.

When the two of them climbed the Bodhi ladder and arrived at the main hall of the temple, the abbot was already waiting there with several monks.

Given Lin Yuan's current fame and status in Japan, it is normal for him to be more enthusiastic in hosting the event.

The host and the guest had a brief conversation, and the host was tactful enough not to disturb Lin Yuan too much. He asked a young monk to take the two to their residence and then left.

"Mr. Lin, please come this way." The welcoming monk invited Lin Yuan to walk towards the backyard.

"Okay, thanks for showing me the way."

It was already 7 o'clock in the evening, the sky was dark, and most of the tourists had left. The Jiuyuan Temple in the mountains seemed particularly quiet.

There were towering trees all around. When the three of them turned a corner, a huge cherry tree appeared before them.

I saw that this cherry tree was 25 meters tall, much taller than the 15-meter height of an ordinary adult cherry tree.

The lush pink cherry blossoms hang down in layers, stacked one on top of the other, and one tree becomes a sea of ​​flowers.

The temperature is low this year, and the cherry blossoms have not yet withered in May.

It is true that the beauty of April has faded and the cherry blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom.

"Wow, it's so beautiful." GAKKI, who was here for the first time, couldn't help but exclaim.

"Thank you for your love. This is the most famous weeping cherry tree in our temple. It is over 400 years old and is one of the few ancient cherry trees in Japan," said the welcoming monk.

"It's really spectacular and amazing." Lin Yuan also praised.

Growing up in North America, he had seen big trees before. After all, the giant sequoias were no joke.

But what if this weeping cherry tree could bloom!

Its flowers are so dense that they cover the trunk, like a huge pink bouquet, which is quite amazing.

"Thank you Mr. Lin for your kindness. The host has prepared a gift made of weeping cherry blossoms for you in your room. I hope you like it too." The welcoming monk continued.

Got a gift?
The host is really troublesome.

When the two arrived at a small courtyard deep inside the temple, the welcoming monk said, "Dinner will be served shortly. We won't disturb you now."

Lin Yuan nodded to show that he understood.

After the welcoming monk left, Lin Yuan wandered around the courtyard.

He looked around and saw the typical Japanese wooden courtyard, pond, and green plants all arranged very elegantly.

He will probably stay here for the next two nights.

Tomorrow three Japanese kendo masters will come here to visit. I wonder what their requests will be?

"Lin Yuan-san, there really is a gift!" GAKKI-chan, who entered the house first, shouted in surprise.

She came to Lin Yuan with two gift boxes.

The box contains: a cherry blossom bookmark, a cherry branch paperweight, and a cherry blossom sachet.

Just as the welcoming monk said, these are all exquisite gifts made from the petals and branches of the ancient weeping cherry tree in the temple.

The gift may not be expensive, but it is very thoughtful and has good meaning.

Both of them liked the gift very much.

The rest of the time is spent eating dinner, washing up, and then going to bed.

When Lin Yuan was lying on his bed, the system's golden text appeared before his eyes again:

[The host and Yui Aragaki fulfilled their agreement to visit the four major temples. ]

Please visit the last remaining temple in the autumn.

【After completion, the host will receive a mysterious reward! 】

Lin Yuan nodded. The mission was about to be completed, and he was also looking forward to what the mysterious reward would be.

Just as I was about to go to sleep, the next moment golden words continued to appear:

[During the date, the host perfectly resolved the worries of the girl he was in an intimate relationship with and helped her find herself again.]

[Host obtains skill reward: Master-level axe technique! ]
