233. The Terrifying Legend About The Five-Story Pagoda
233. The Terrifying Legend About The Five-Story Pagoda
Shizuoka Prefecture, Izu. The gate of Huankuai Temple.
Wu Fan and his party came here to travel.
Ran Mouri looked at the scenery in the distance and sighed: "It's so beautiful. It's really pleasant to travel from time to time, don't you think so, Wu Fan."
Wu Fan replied: "Yes, the scenery here is indeed very good. In fact, it is quite good to come to the mountains occasionally."
Conan said: "I have to thank Sister Xiao Ran this time for answering the questions in the magazine before I can come out and play."
Wu Fan sighed inwardly: "Do you understand the value of liberal arts students?"
Ran Mouri asked curiously: "By the way, Wu Fan, you haven't said anything about your past yet? Have you remembered anything?"
Conan's half-moon eyes: "I think his concussion hasn't healed yet."
Wu Fan rubbed Conan's head fiercely and said with a smile: "I just thought of it a little bit. I was a liberal arts student like you in high school [I can't remember anything else C"
It's not that Wu Fan has lost his memory, it's just that it's too easy to expose him if he talks too much. After all, the school he's in can't be found here, and his lies can be easily exposed, especially with the clever Conan here.
"Actually, the person I really want to thank is Wu Fan. After all, he was the one who solved the mystery. He turned out to be a liberal arts student. No wonder he knows so much." Ran Mouri said with a smile.
Conan complained: "It's not difficult at all for 543 to have problems like that with children, right?"
After some fun, Fan and others found Mouri Kogoro breathing heavily.
Ran Mouri urged: "Let's go!"
Mouri Kogoro complained: "This kind of place is so boring! Let me just say, there is nothing interesting about a trip hosted by others.
"I know it's embarrassing to say that I was so happy when I first said I wanted to travel." Ran Mouri complained.
Mouri Kogoro waved and said: "You three can go alone. I want to go to the hotel now and take a good bath."
Just then, a man came over.
"Sorry sir, smoking is prohibited in our temple."
Ran Mouri said apologetically: "That's it, I'm really sorry."
"No, but for tourists, this place may be a bit boring."
"That's absolutely not the case. It's hard for people who live in cities to see such beautiful scenery. I feel much more comfortable after coming here, right, Wu Fan.
Wu Fan nodded and said: "Yes." (agfi) "This is... why does it look familiar?" The man looked at Wu Fan.
Before Wu Fan could speak, Ran Mouri took his arm and introduced: "He is my boyfriend, his name is Wu Fan, and he is currently a detective.
"Wu Fan, you are the famous detective who has become popular all over the country recently? It is said that he has solved dozens of unsolved cases that even the police have been unable to solve. I am your fan." The man said excitedly.
Wu Fan's half-moon eyes looked like: "Am I already so famous? My legends and fans are everywhere."
"But since you like the scenery here, that's great. You have such feelings at such a young age. If you don't mind, let me show you around. By the way, I want to hear about the cases solved by Mr. Wu Fan."
Ran Mouri is looking forward to it: "Is it really possible?"
Mouri Kogoro said disapprovingly: "Humph, you actually don't take me as a famous detective in your eyes. I won't go."
Ran Mouri took Mouri Kogoro's arm: "This is so rude, leave quickly."
Afterwards, Wu Fan and four others followed the man.
"I see, you are indeed a famous detective." After listening to Wu Fan's case, the man couldn't help but praise.
"By the way, let me introduce this temple to you. This temple was built four hundred years ago."
Ran Mouri sighed: "It's been four hundred years, so long."
"Although it has a long history, there are relics left from every era. For example, in the grass next to the five-storied pagoda, there is an ancient well that was still used by people until the middle of the Edo period.
Conan asked: "Then why was it no longer used?"
"That's because the water in the well suddenly dried up. It is said that it was because a lovelorn girl cried in front of the well for three days and three nights. Later, she couldn't cry enough, so she left the well. All the water in the well has been used up.”
Wu Fan complained in his heart: "It feels a bit like Meng Jiangnu crying at the Great Wall and Kuafu Zhuri."
Unconsciously, everyone came to the five-story pagoda.
"There is a very scary legend about this five-story pagoda.
Ran Mouri asked curiously: "What kind of legend is that?"
"In the early Edo period, after the original abbot passed away, a young monk took over his job at the abbot's wish, but later he fell in love with a girl at the foot of the mountain and broke the precepts. He ran away from the temple and ran away with this girl. I don’t know if it was due to ghosts or gods, but he was captured by a big eagle, and his body was later hung on the top of the five-story pagoda."
Ran Mouri held Wu Fan's arm tightly and said with some fear: "It's so scary."
Wu Fan complained in his heart: "Where there are temples, there are legends. The same was true for the last dog incident in the open air."
"Later, in the middle of the Edo period, there was an unruly abbot who sold the daily necessities in the temple and indulged in wine and sex every day. But one day he suddenly disappeared. After a few days, He was found hanging by the neck from the tip of the five-story pagoda and expired."
"Since then, whenever someone breaks the rules of the temple, it is said that the five-story pagoda will start to cause trouble."
Wu Fan comforted the frightened Ran Mouri: "Okay, this is just a legend, there is nothing to be afraid of. Wasn't the evil foggy dog incident last time not man-made?"
"That's right." Ran Mouri's expression softened a lot after hearing this.
At this time, an abbot appeared behind Mouri Kogoro and others.
Mouri Kogoro was frightened: "Wow, there is a ghost!"
The man explained: "Don't worry, he is the abbot Danhai in the temple.
Danhai looked at the man fiercely: "You pretended to be here with a child this time, what else do you want to investigate?"
"Don't be angry, they are just here for sightseeing."
Danhai snorted coldly and said, "Humph, you can't trust these suspicious guys at all. You'd better not let outsiders in casually."
"But, sightseeing is in the temple..."
Danhai cursed loudly: "Nonsense! Have you forgotten that the temple was about to be in trouble because of this? Sooner or later, the gods will give the most severe punishment to the unfaithful people, and you will suffer the consequences of any wrongdoing."
