Chapter 292 Kyoto
Inside the Osaka City Hotel is Harry's presidential suite. Li Jie lay on the big bed in his room, and adjusted the air conditioner to a comfortable temperature.
At the same time, he turned on the bluetooth speaker system in the room and played the music of Queen in his mobile phone. He was arranging his things while listening to music.
The trip to hell is over, and Jin Bin's mission is complete. And he also got a B-level reward randomly given by the system.
[Thousand-year building block pendant, B-level evaluation item. It can create a powerful spiritual labyrinth for the wearer, and anyone who invades the wearer's mind in a spiritual way will be trapped in this labyrinth. 】
Li Jie played with the small pendant in his hand. This small pendant is in the shape of a small pyramid and is also golden in color. But the material can't be touched, I don't know if it is metal or other materials.
The introduction given by the system seems to be very powerful, and it is a fine defense item. But judging from the shape and function of the given item, this thing looks like the thousand-year-old building block in "Yu-Gi-Oh!"
It's just that it's not as exaggeratedly big as the big building block pendant that Muto Yuki carried.
"Another difference is probably that there is no Egyptian pharaoh living in the building block." Li Jie muttered to himself, played with the pendant, and finally decided to bring it for himself.
There are quite a lot of masters who play with people's hearts and spirits in the Marvel world. And not everyone with mind control skills is as nice as Professor X.
Charles Xavier was a man of principle and the bottom line, but that didn't ensure that others could do the same. Among the people that Li Jie knew, there was Qin Grei, whose degree of danger was uncertain, and who would explode at any time due to the power of the Phoenix.
If I remember correctly, the son of General Stryker, who has a lot of hatred for mutants, is also a mutant with mental changes, and he seems to be training him to be a weapon in the end? I don't know if that unlucky child still ends up in this universe.
And there is another thing in Li Jie's battle belt, a gift from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
That day, Li Jie followed the instructions of Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha and used all his strength to use the Great Sun Tathagata Seal to attack Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha. Li Jie dared to swear that this was the time he had pushed this exercise to the limit since he learned it.
The handprints exuding white Buddha's light cover the sky and the sun, which is a bit like Wuzhi Mountain pressing down on the monkey. However, this kind of attack, which seemed very powerful to Li Jie, was broken by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva lightly with one finger.
It seemed that the previous attack was like a mirror image, everything was as unreal as a dream.
The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva smiled at Li Jie and nodded, then shook his head with a smile. It made Li Jie completely confused about what this Bodhisattva was doing.
Just before Li Jie left, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva gave him a small Buddha statue. A very small doll, only about thirteen centimeters high, and the carved work is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
He also didn't tell Li Jie what the Buddha statue was for. Hello! Please Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, you are already so worldly, so I will trouble you if the world is good or not. Don't play charades like other Bodhisattvas and Buddhas.
Li Jie carefully observed the small Buddha statue in his hand, but he still didn't find anything special about it. The material used for carving is the most common black stone in hell.
The carving technique is not so delicate, but it is not rough either. To use an inappropriate analogy, this is very similar to buying a good quality Buddha statue for more than 1,000 yuan in a craft store, but it is not considered a high-quality Buddha statue art.
The only special place is that many small characters are engraved on the back of the Buddha statue with micro-carving techniques. If you look carefully, you will find that it is the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Fundamental Vow Sutra".
Li Jie decided to buy a copy of "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Fundamental Vows Sutra" for comparison. See if there's anything special about it.
While Li Jie was thinking about these things, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
"We're ready, Jason is leaving." It was Peter who knocked on the door.
Harry didn't start working right away after returning to Osaka. According to him, he has just returned from hell, and now he is about to put in high-intensity work, which is very stressful.
Although Harry made an excuse to relax in Dongyang in the past few days when he left, he never really went on a trip to relax.
So this time he was self-willed for a while, and planned to take a day off and take a walk around Osaka. As the chairman and largest shareholder of this large group. Naturally, what Mr. Harry said was what, and no one could raise an objection.
On the contrary, Yasuda, the chairman of the Eastern Branch, was very enthusiastic in recommending travel strategies in the Kyoto area for Harry, and even helped to book a very high-end restaurant.
This is a very private tour with no bodyguards. After all, with the skills of Harry, Li Jie, and Peter, it doesn't matter whether they have bodyguards or not.
If something goes wrong, I don't know who will protect whom.
Taking the shinkansen from Osaka to Kyoto is actually quite fast, taking just fifteen minutes. It is not an exaggeration to call Kyoto the back garden of Osaka.
"I think Kyoto is much better than Osaka. It's more like an oriental city. Osaka is a bit of a messy city, and Kyoto has more of a traditional oriental flavor." Strolling in the garden near the Kinkaku-ji Temple, Harry put forward his own opinion.
"Actually, big cities look similar now. If you go to the business district of Tokyo, you will feel that it is similar to Manhattan." Li Jie also said the same. The faces between cities are indeed too similar now.
"Oh, okay. Actually, I'm more concerned about what we have for lunch. Jason, I've been looking forward to your coming back to cook me a big meal. I'm not very used to Japanese food. Well, except fried food, that It's called tempura?" Peter Parker still couldn't forget the food.
Apart from raw and cold food, Japanese cuisine tends to be light in taste. In a way the seasoning is just right. But this seasoning was destined not to please both Harry and Peter.
As American youths who grew up eating cheeseburgers and bacon pizza, they can use five packs of ketchup when eating French fries, which is quite heavy.
However, Li Jie can still accept lightly seasoned Japanese food, so he said. "At least we have to respect their food culture? At least finish the kaiseki meal that has been ordered at noon. I heard that this is a Michelin restaurant."
"Okay." Peter could only sigh, with a helpless expression on his face. "Actually, I think the McDonald's we just passed by is not bad."
The kiosk that Chairman Yasuda helped book is not far from Kinkaku-ji Temple, and it is a kiosk named Sakura. This cooking kiosk is the place where Chairman Yasuda and his party gathered before.
Push open the traditional Japanese-style sliding door, and use tatami mats and traditional Japanese-style washi paper as the decoration is the main tone of the entire cooking pavilion.
The dining room for Li Jie and others has already been prepared. The portion of each dish of kaiseki cuisine is not large, but there are many types of dishes.
And it tastes more particular. Generally speaking, it is sorted by the taste of clear, heavy and clear. Therefore, in the dining place, there is also a female general who is responsible for delivering food and tea (this is what Dongyang calls the female operators in the cooking kiosk).
This female general looks like a kind of gentle and elegant beauty of traditional Japanese women. Wearing a traditional Japanese kimono, her long hair is pulled into a bun at the back of her head so that it doesn't look messy.
The appearance has the unique softness of East Asian women, especially the tenderness between the eyebrows and eyes. It's hard to guess the age of this woman, she has the prettyness of a woman in her twenties, but she also has the charm of a woman in her thirties.
If you want to describe this woman, the most appropriate word is probably: Yamato Nadeko.
Although it was the first time we met, Li Jie always felt weird, as if he had seen this woman somewhere before.
