Chapter 3644 Specimens
"What?" Ukai Manakuru's words made everyone stunned. A specimen of a dragon? Sister, are you sure you are not joking? Of course they would accept it if there were legends related to dragons. What would happen if a specimen suddenly appeared? Why does this combination of fantasy and science feel so strange?
"A dragon specimen? Are you sure?" Hasegawa Horihei couldn't help but ask.
"Really, it's quite famous. Haven't you heard of it?" Ukai Manazuru said. At least from her words, it seems that this matter is really famous in Osaka.
"Zuiryuji Temple? Why do I remember that Zuiryuji Temple is not in Osaka? It should be in Toyama Prefecture." Nakiri Erina said. Ruiryu Temple is a very famous temple. It is called a national treasure temple. Not only has she heard of it, but she even visited it with her family when she was a child.
"Oh, we also have Zuiryuji Temple here in Osaka. It seems to have been called Tetsugan Temple in the past. There are indeed dragon specimens enshrined in it. Not only dragon specimens, but also mermaid specimens." Ukai Manazuru said.
"Huh? Is there such a place?" Ukai Manazuru's words made everyone present confused. There were not only dragon specimens, but also mermaid specimens. Not the eldest sister, there is such a mysterious place in Riben, why didn't they know about it before.
"Of course, not many of us in Osaka think it's real, at least... before this, everyone thought that neither dragons nor mermaids were real. But now that I think about it, it's still It’s really hard to say,” Ukai Manazuru said.
Indeed, it seems that it is no longer strange for strange things to appear in this world now. After all, monsters like Godzilla, monsters like Otakemaru, and ancient people from thousands of years ago like Tamura Maro Sakaue have all appeared.
"Then...where is the Zuiryuji Temple you mentioned?" Hasegawa Horihei asked.
Ukai Manazuru looked around, as if confirming the direction. Then she suddenly pointed to a road and said to several people, "That's it."
Everyone was stunned and looked in the direction Ukai Manakuru pointed, but they didn't see any temple.
"On this road, at the end is Zuiryuji Temple." Ukai Manazuru said.
"At the end of this road?" Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts skipped a beat. I didn’t expect that the so-called Ruiryu Temple was so close. Yes, one of the roads in Nakanoshima Park reaches Zuiryuji Temple at the end. You can get there in about 5 minutes by car.
Apparently after hearing this, everything seems to be connected.
You see why the meeting place was at Nakanoshima. Now it seems that it is because Zuiryuji Temple is nearby.
Several people looked at each other, and Benkei here was also the first to start, and rushed directly along the road in the direction of Zuiryu Temple.
Hasegawa Horihei and others naturally followed immediately. Although the previous patrol car was cut down by Benkei, they can only run to their destination now, but several of them are practitioners, their physiques are much stronger than ordinary people, and their movement speed is also quite fast. Pointing the way is obviously nothing.
Within a few minutes, everyone arrived in front of Ruilong Temple. This bright red temple door is really quite conspicuous. Although the plaque says Ciyun Mountain, it is the name of the sect.
For some reason, I felt a strange atmosphere even before I entered the door. I don’t know if it’s because there is a cemetery next to the temple. Of course, in Japan, it's not surprising for a cemetery to be next to a residential area. It's just that the cemetery next to the temple occupies a large area and is quite conspicuous. The entire temple can only be said to be quite quiet, and it does not look like a busy tourist area. According to Ukai Manazuru, this place is quite famous as a tourist check-in place in Osaka, but now there is really no buzz at all.
Of course, the good news is that I didn't see any corpses of passers-by. It was probably the same situation as before that they were driven away by crows or something like that.
Now that I think about it, the Osaka JING Bureau probably received a lot of alarm calls, and they probably all have something to do with this. But with the current chaotic situation in Osaka JING Bureau, it is estimated that no one can control it.
The area of this temple is obviously not large. Although the red temple gate is very beautiful, the landscape has always been closed and no one is allowed to pass. The real entrance is a side door off to the side. After entering, the first thing you see is the stone steps in front, and the main hall above the stone steps, which is also red. This time, the top of the main hall has Ruiryuji Temple written on it.
"This temple... is a bit new." Linton couldn't help but said when he saw the bright red hall.
"It was just renovated not long ago. The original temple was bombed during the war. It was built after the war and then renovated recently." Ukai Manazuru obviously knew the situation, so he also introduced it.
"Where did the dragon specimen inside come from? Was it dug out?" Linton asked strangely.
"Oh, I know this too." Ukai Manazuru said, "It is said that during the Meiji period, a businessman from a chamber of commerce purchased it from a Chinese farmer and donated it to the temple."
"Bought it from China?" Linton was stunned for a moment when he heard this. In the Meiji period, it was the Qing Dynasty. Good guy, I've been looking at this dragon specimen for a long time. It came from China.
Just say where did the dragon specimen come from in Japan? It sounds strange. Is it still produced in China?
Before then, Linton had doubted whether this thing was real, but now that he heard that it came from China, it might actually be possible. Of course, it was difficult to say before, but now, it is indeed possible.
So what Aizen arranged this time is really the plot of resurrecting the dragon?
Just as he was thinking about it, everyone had already stepped onto the stone steps and arrived at the gate of the main hall of the temple. This temple is really not that big. As soon as you enter the door, you can basically see everything in the hall.
Apparently they found the right target, because as soon as they entered, they saw several figures in the main hall.
The most obvious one stood in the center of the hall, wearing a bamboo hat and facing away from everyone. Of course, the other party's appearance is not the important point. The important point is that this guy actually has a pair of black wings on his back.
At the first sight, everyone knew that this was the legendary Tengu, and even Linton could recognize it.
Among the others, there was a young man hanging in the air by a ball of glowing chains. He was probably Minamoto Yoshitsune, but he had his eyes closed at the moment, as if he had lost consciousness.
In addition, there were two people standing next to him. Before Linton had time to take a look, Hasegawa Horihei shouted to one of them: "Dongju! It's really you!"
