Conan: Starting out by living with a divorced older sister

So everyone readily agreed to this travel plan, and all the people from both families went out. Murong Zhen drove the car with Youliang, Lixiang, Jinghua and grandma Kawata Sakura; on the other side, Ikenami Kazuo drove the car with Ikenami Fumiyo, Kawata Hideki, and Kawata Chiharu.

Everyone set out early in the morning. The distance was indeed very short, and they reached their destination in less than an hour. Everyone checked in at the hot spring hotel. For some reason, there were very few people checking in, but it was also good this way, as they could get a better travel experience.

Chapter 61 An unexpected encounter

Just after Murong Zhen and his group had checked in, two more groups of people arrived here.

One of the groups of people was two women dressed casually.

"Anzu, this is the hot spring hotel my traveler recommended to me, "Ikaho Onsen". It is said that you can enjoy two different hot spring sources, the brown "Golden Hot Spring" and the transparent "Silver Hot Spring", and you can also feel the retro nostalgic style of Ikaho Ishidan Street. On the mountain, there is also a statue of Mizusawa Kannon, which is said to have been founded more than 1300 years ago and belongs to the Tendai sect of Chinese Buddhism. The mountain is called Gotokuyama, and the main statue here is the Eleven-faced Thousand-armed Kannon. Mizusawa Kannon is said to be able to bless "the seven difficulties will be eliminated and the seven blessings will be born" (eliminate disasters and usher in good fortune). It is not only the center of faith for local people, but also a prayer temple for the Tokugawa family."

"Meika, I didn't expect you to know so much. It seems you have done a lot of strategies."

"Hehe, you found it. I heard that the Thousand-armed Guanyin here is particularly effective for praying for marriage and children. Also, there are many intricate routes up the mountain from the hot spring hotel at the foot of the mountain to the Guanyin Temple on the mountain. It is as complicated as a spider web, so it is named Spider Web Forest. However, because it has 16 entrances and 4 exits, many people, especially couples, will choose to go separately and then hope to meet on the road in the forest, or even go out from the same exit in the end to confirm their fate, so it was renamed the Marriage Forest. What's more interesting is that there are many pre-prepared prayers hidden in the forest. Each person can only find one at most, and then go to the monks in the temple on the mountain to interpret the prayers. After paying homage to Mizusawa Guanyin, you can also eat the "Mizusawa Udon" which is said to be delicious. It is said that the person who brought the skill of making hand-made udon noodles to the Mizusawa area was the founder of the Mizusawa Kannon, the monk Keikan Shojyo. Later, the residents used small noodles produced in Kamisawa and the famous water from Mizusawa Mountain to make udon noodles to entertain pilgrims who came to worship the Mizusawa Kannon. This delicious dish has been passed down for more than 400 years!

"Then let's quickly check in. I can't wait to get to the mountain."

As the two walked and talked, they couldn't wait to walk towards the hot spring hotel.

Not long after the two of them walked away, a Rolls-Royce arrived at the gate and a girl dressed as a student got out of the car.

A butler-like man in the car said respectfully: "Miss, we are not far away. Please feel free to contact us if you need anything. Have fun!" Then the car drove away.

Ooka Momiji walked into the hotel happily.

In this way, three groups of people, a total of 12 people, checked into the same hotel without prior agreement. After a short rest, they began to head towards the top of the mountain. They had all heard the story of the Forest of Marriage, and they were somewhat looking forward to entering it, but also somewhat afraid. The Kawada couple and the Ikenami couple both had an indifferent attitude, because they had all walked through half of their lives, and their children had grown up, so they didn't care at all, and they mainly came to relax. Murong Zhen also held an indifferent attitude, because he was a staunch atheist. Marriage might be destined by heaven, but he firmly believed that man could conquer nature! Youliang said that her fate with Murong Zhen had long been destined and verified, and there was no need to elaborate on this Forest of Marriage. Jinghua was almost the same, just treating it as a game, and only Lixiang was a little looking forward to meeting Murong Zhen.

Three groups of people set out one after another, and they did not meet each other. Coincidentally, except for Murong Zhen and Kawata Ying, each of them took a different entrance. Because everyone was worried about grandma going alone, Murong Zhen volunteered to go with grandma, even though grandma said she could do it by herself.

The air in the mountains is naturally very fresh. I took a deep breath and felt comfortable. The mountain is not very high, but it is very large, so the steps and paths are not very steep.

Murong Zhen looked at Kawata Sakura, who was in high spirits and seemed to know everything and didn't care about anything, and asked curiously, "Grandma, what did you mean by waiting for me for a long time? Did you know that I would come?"

Facing Murong Zhen's question, Kawata Ying did not keep him in suspense and replied: "When I was young, my family also encountered difficulties. I was once blessed by an old man with a fairy-like appearance. She said that it was all fate, and that the fate between us would continue to the grandchildren, and even to marriage. He did not say his name, but only said that his surname was Murong. As for the words of this old immortal, I, who had seen how powerful he was, naturally regarded his words as the criterion. At that time, my husband died suddenly of illness, my son also had an accident, and my daughter-in-law was also ill from overwork. It can be said that it was the most difficult time for our family at that time. But Youliang and Lixiang have reached the age of marriage, especially Youliang, who is as beautiful as a fairy, so I know that the day I expect is not far away. Finally, you came a few days ago, and solved all the illnesses and difficulties in our family, and saved Youliang and Lixiang. Isn't all this in line with what the old immortal said? And Youliang and Lixiang's feelings for you are almost engraved on their faces. This is your fate with our family."

"Oh, so that's how it is! Then we are indeed destined to be together."

"As for the girl from the Ikenami family, I see that although you haven't made it clear, you both have feelings for each other. Although she's been married and has children, she's a good woman. I can see that you really like her, so cherish her!"

Murong Zhen looked at Kawata Sakura in disbelief, how come you know everything?

"Okay, go ahead and I'll be alone for a while. Don't worry about me. I'm just old, but I'm not confused and I'm still pretty strong. Let's meet at the top of the mountain. You can also go and find your soulmate in this mountain."

Murong Zhen no longer insisted, chose a fork in the road and walked over.

As they were walking, suddenly a breeze blew, and a white rectangular piece of paper slowly floated down from the air. Murong Zhen raised his hand, and the piece of paper fell into his hand obediently. Before he could check what it was, he heard the sound of running. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw Youliang running towards him in a white dress, just like the first time they met, but the dress was not the same one, and their identities were no longer the same as before.

The two looked at each other, and could see each other's joy of meeting in the forest. They naturally hugged each other gently without any words, just feeling the warmth and tranquility of this moment.

"By the way, husband, did you see a note flying over here? No, to be precise, it's half a note, because the other half is in my hand." It turned out that Youliang had finally found a note, but before she could open it, it was blown onto a branch by the wind. When she went to take it, the note was broken by the wind. She only got half of it, and saw the other half blown over here by the wind, so she ran over to look for it, and then she met Murong Zhen.

Murong Zhen, who knew what happened, held up the half of the note in his hand. The two smiled at each other tacitly, and then opened the note together. It read:

"I don't have the wings of a colorful phoenix, but I have a clear mind."

After a passionate kiss, Youyou asked, "Whose message is this then?"

"Of course it's ours!"

"Okay, then we'll meet at the top of the mountain!"

Chapter 62 Continuous Encounters

After parting with Youliang, Murong Zhen continued to walk and search, and found a prayer on an inconspicuous tree. It was also a poem, but it seemed to be written wrong, which he found a bit strange. But he didn't think much about it.

As he was walking, he met Mika Yabuki, who was sitting on the ground. She was rubbing her foot in pain. It was obvious that she had sprained her ankle accidentally. Murong Zhen walked up to her and said, "Ms. Yabuki, what a coincidence that I met you here. Do you need any help?"

Yabuki Mika looked up as if she heard a fairy voice. She needed help so badly that her feet hurt so much that she couldn't stand up. She cried, "Mr. Murong, what a coincidence! I really need your help now." Then she briefly explained what happened.

Murong Zhen didn't say much. He lifted up his injured foot and started to treat it. This sprain was a piece of cake for Murong Zhen who possessed the [Advanced Bone-setting Massage Technique], coupled with the [Dragon and Tiger Brand Traumatology Wine] that had recently become popular.

"Okay, Miss Yabuki, it's okay. This medicinal wine will take effect in about 5 minutes. I see you must have been sitting on the ground for a long time, and the ground is a little cold. Do you want me to carry you for a while? When your foot injury is healed, I will put you down."

Yabuki Mika was a little shy, knowing that this was the best way at the moment, "Then thank you very much, just call me Mika, I'm 27 years old, I should be a little older than you."

"Okay, Sister Mika, then you can just call me by my name." As he said this, he squatted in front of Mika Yabuki, and Mika also lay on his back.

I don’t know if it’s because she’s a beauty, or because the two of them were having a great time chatting, but Murong Zhen didn’t feel tired at all. Instead, he felt as relaxed as if he were walking on flat ground.

Yabuki Mika didn't feel that Murong Zhen had done anything inappropriate and was very grateful for his gentlemanly behavior and thoughtful care. The two of them had a great time chatting.

It was not until they came to a fork in the road that Meixiang reluctantly said, "Ah Zhen, let's stop here. My foot is completely healed now. Thank you for your help!"

After hearing this, Murong Zhen also gently put her down and said, "Okay, you're welcome, Sister Meixiang. I'm honored to meet and help you, and even to chat with you behind your back!"

Yabuki Mika blushed, and kissed Murong Zhen on the face like lightning, then ran to a fork in the road: "Ah Zhen, don't think too much, this is a thank you gift for you!"

Murong Zhen smiled, looked at Yabuki Mika's back, and shouted, "Sister Mika, you kissed me too far, aim closer next time!"

Yabuki Mika staggered, turned around and looked at Murong Zhen angrily, saying in her heart: You wish, that was my sister's first kiss.

With the departure of Yabuki Mika, Murong Zhen became alone again. Perhaps he was destined not to be a lonely person, and he soon met Jinghua.

Murong Zhen's expression was naturally a little happy, while Jinghua's expression was a little unnatural besides being happy. She seemed to be very afraid of meeting him, but deep down she was afraid of not meeting him. It was very complicated! This time it seemed that she didn't need the monk to interpret her words, she could interpret them herself. The words she got were:

As soon as Jinfeng Yulu met, they won but countless on earth.

At the same time, my inner thoughts became more firm, and I decided to do it when I go back tomorrow!

Today, Jinghua wore a dark blue sportswear because she knew she was going to climb a mountain. It's rare to see Jinghua wearing pants, usually she wears a skirt. Today, I saw that she really has a good figure and looks good in anything she wears, with a straight top and a straight bottom. I won't say too much, otherwise it will easily fail to pass the review.

Murong Zhen naturally held Jinghua's hand, and Jinghua let her do as she walked and talked.

"When you see me, you don't seem as happy as I imagined. Don't you want to meet me?" Jinghua was the first to attack.

Sure enough, no matter how beautiful a woman is, there are times when she doesn't make sense. Murong Zhen quickly explained, "No, I'm very happy. As for you saying that you're not that happy, it's because meeting you was something I expected, so it's not that surprising!"

"Now that we've met, you can say whatever you want!" Jinghua continued to attack.

"Since the last time we met, our fate has been destined. You are destined to be mine in this life!" Murong Zhen's words were domineering and firm.

"Tsk! Who is your person? I'm not single yet!"

"It's okay, I can wait!" Murong Zhen's deep affection made Jinghua a little unable to control herself.

After a deep kiss, the two separated at the next intersection.

After watching Jinghua leave, before she could even walk to another road, she heard a voice behind her: "You rascal! You have no shame!"

The voice was familiar. Murong Zhen turned around and saw Ooka Hongye standing there in a sailor suit, pinching her waist and glaring at him. He didn't know how he had offended her. Could it be...

Murong Zhen felt a little guilty and looked at her with a smile: "What a coincidence, Hongye, to meet you here. What did you just say?"

"I said you're a scoundrel! You have no shame! Is that wrong?"

"Of course it's wrong. That woman is my woman. We acted out of love and ended with courtesy. What's wrong with that?"

"As far as I know, she is not. She is still a married woman!"

"It's a matter of sooner or later. There's no need to worry about whether it's one day earlier or one day later," Murong Zhen vowed.

Ooka Hongye knew that she couldn't win the argument with her on this issue, so she said, "What about taking advantage of someone's misfortune?" and then she glared at Murong Zhen.

Hearing these four words, Murong Zhen naturally knew that she already knew it.

Murong Zhen had no way to refute, and could only say sincerely: "I'm sorry!"

Ooka Hongye still couldn't accept it and was about to cry. She asked, "As far as I know, you are a doctor, and the sister just now had the same situation, but you didn't. Why did you treat me like that?" After saying that, she couldn't hold back her grievances any more and burst into tears.

Looking at the fragile and helpless Ooka Hongye, Murong Zhen gave her a comforting hug, trying to calm her down, and whispered in her ear: "Whether you believe it or not, I didn't know any medical skills at the time, so I could only use that method to save you!"

Ooka Hongye saw that Murong Zhen did not seem to be lying, but how could such superb medical skills be acquired in such a short time? Ooka Hongye was in a dilemma, but she did not dwell on it anymore, after all, something had already happened.

"Then why didn't you say anything, instead of running away?"

"I don't know how to tell you, and I don't want to run away. I know we are in the same school, so I thought I would tell you in other ways to make it up to you after school starts."

"School starts? Aren't you going to study in the United States for a year?"

“That was just decided.”

"Then you have time to get married, find a girlfriend, and start a company, so why don't you have time to come to me?"

"Finding a girlfriend is destiny. I got married to go abroad to study, but the feelings are real. I started a company to make progress. As for finding you, I really don't know how to face you."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I don't know. Just listen to me. Tell me what you want me to do."

"I... I haven't made up my mind yet! So, if you agree to my three conditions, I will choose to forgive you temporarily, but I won't forgive you completely yet!"

"Okay, I agree, but there is a prerequisite. The prerequisite is that you cannot violate the chivalrous code. That is, you cannot violate morality." Why does this sentence in the middle sound so familiar?

This matter was temporarily over. Ooka Momiji slowly stopped crying and said, "I'm tired..."

Murong Zhen naturally understood what she meant, so he said, "Okay, then I'll carry you!"

Hongye was still not satisfied and said, "No! I want it to be higher!"

Murong Zhen was speechless, but knowing he was in the wrong, he could only follow her wishes and let her ride on his shoulders.

Ooka Hongye gazed into the distance and said with pride, "As expected, the higher you stand, the farther you can see! Xiao Zhenzi, let's go!"

"Okay, Your Highness!" After saying that, he ran forward!

Chapter 63 Master's Interpretation

Later, Murong Zhen met Omiya Anko and Kawata Rika successively.

At the top of Guanyin Mountain, Exit 1, beside the flowerbed under the shade of trees, five beautiful women with different styles were sitting in a row. They introduced themselves to each other, namely Murong Youliang, Ikeba Shizuka, Yabuki Mika, Omiya Kyoko, and Ooka Momiji. As for why Shizuka used her original surname, it was because she had already made up her mind and was about to put it into action.

Everyone was chatting away, seemingly waiting for something. Not long after, Murong Zhen came in from Exit 1 carrying Kawata Rika on his back.

As for why she was carrying him on her back, it was because naughty Li Xiang almost fell down the mountain, but fortunately Murong Zhen pulled her down in time. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous. Fortunately, she only sprained her foot, but it had been healed by Murong Zhen long ago. With the help of [Dragon and Tiger Traumatology Wine], she has recovered as before. The reason why she was unwilling to come down was to punish Murong Zhen who bullied her, and Murong Zhen gladly accepted it.

Seeing Murong Zhen coming, the person everyone was waiting for arrived and gathered around. Then they introduced themselves to each other again. It was also a kind of fate that they got to know each other through this marriage. Maybe they could become good friends or even good sisters in the future!

Everyone was lucky enough to receive the oracles, and after paying homage to Guanyin Bodhisattva, several people went to the master to interpret the oracles. At this time, the five people from the Kawada family and the Ikenami family had all finished their work and were ready to go down the mountain to rest. Seeing these young people having fun together, they told them to have fun and that they, the elders, did not need them to care.

In order to protect personal privacy, everyone went in one by one. The master inside looked profound and compassionate.

The first one is Murong Zhen, whose speech is: On the night of the bright moon over the thirty-six bridges, where can the beautiful lady teach me how to play the flute? When the master explained his speech, Murong Zhen raised his doubts, shouldn't it be on the night of the bright moon over the twenty-four bridges?

The master also gave an explanation: "Twenty-four bridges on a moonlit night is written in the poem. As for why it is thirty-six for you, judging from your face, this is a typical case of having too many romantic partners, so this number should be the number of your confidantes. You are so lucky, the donor!"

Murong Zhen was stunned. Doesn't this really match the number of the thirty-six heaven-repairing fairies? Is there really a destiny in the dark? Murong Zhen thanked the master and prepared to leave. Before leaving, the master said, "Your benefactor has a deep fortune, but you will also encounter some crises. However, there will naturally be noble people to help you and turn danger into safety. Remember! Just do good things, don't ask about the future, just ask for a clear conscience!"
