 Chapter 3571 A Different Kind of Romance

News of Master Kongyin's passing quickly spread throughout Japan.

The Japanese people had always respected and admired this long-lived Buddhist master, so when they heard the news, countless people flocked to Kyoto's Kinkakuji Temple to pay their respects, and television stations were broadcasting live coverage of his life.

As Lin Wan'er boarded the plane, preparing to take off back to China, her phone was still receiving notifications about Kongyin.

Lin Wan'er, heartbroken, flew back to Aurous Hill.

On the plane, Sun Zhidong came to the front cabin and saw Lin Wan'er leaning against the window, lost in thought.

He walked forward carefully and asked respectfully, "Miss, are you okay?"

Lin Wan'er came back to her senses and forced a smile: "I'm fine. It's hard for you to follow me to Japan."

.

Sun Zhidong quickly bowed and said, "It's my honor to be able to serve you, young lady. During the years when you were away from China, Zhidong often talked about you with several brothers and sisters who grew up with me. Although everyone has made achievements in different countries and different fields, when they talked about it, the person everyone envied the most was actually Old Zhang. He was the only one who could stay by your side for so many years."

Lin Wan'er sighed: "It's hard for him. He has been with me for so many years and he doesn't even have a child."

Sun Zhidong sighed lightly: "In fact, for those of us who can't find our ancestral heritage, there is no need to continue our bloodline."

After speaking, he suddenly thought of this short trip to Japan, so he asked her: "Miss, is that Master Kongyin also an orphan you raised?"

"Yes." Lin Wan'er nodded and sighed, "Back in Japan, I adopted many orphans from Kyoto. Over time, I became a little famous in Kyoto, and many people left their unwanted or unable-to-raise newborn children at the door of my house. Zhengping was one of them."

At this point, Lin Wan'er couldn't help but sigh, "That period of time was so long ago. Those children have long since passed away. Zhengping was the last to pass away. With his passing, all the children I raised in Japan are gone."

Sun Zhidong asked him, " "Miss, was Master Kongyin the one you loved the most among all those children?"

Lin Wan'er shook her head: "Not that I loved him the most, but he had the hardest life."

After that, she recalled the past and said: "Zhengping's mother gave birth to him when she was seventeen years old, when Kyoto was at its coldest. After giving birth to him, she left him outside the door of my mansion and jumped into the Yodogawa River to drown. In the weather at that time, the newborn Zhengping probably wouldn't have survived half an hour. Fortunately, he cried loudly in his cradle, and the other children heard it and told me, so I took him in."

Sun Zhidong asked in surprise: "Then why did his mother commit suicide?"

Lin Wan'er said: "Zhengping's mother left a letter on Zhengping. According to the letter, his father was a son-in-law of the Ito family in Kyoto at that time, and Zhengping's mother was a maid in the Ito family. His father was suppressed by his wife all day long, so he got together with his mother in private. Later, Zhengping's mother became pregnant. His father was afraid of being exposed, so he sent her out of the house and found another house for her to live and give birth. However, the matter was eventually discovered by other servants. The Ito family wanted to wipe out the roots and killed him and his mother."

.

Sun Zhidong was puzzled: "The son-in-law Why didn't the Ito family punish him for cheating, but instead wanted to kill a maid? "

Lin Wan'er said, "The Ito family had their concerns. The reason they wanted to recruit a live-in son-in-law was because the head of the Ito family at the time had only one daughter, and he needed a live-in son-in-law to continue the Ito family's bloodline. Zhengping's father and the Ito family's daughter already had a son named Ito Keiichi. The head of the Ito family knew about this and was afraid that after his death, Zhengping's father would use his son Ito Keiichi to bring his son from outside to the Ito family, so he wanted to cut the grass and wipe out the roots.

"Ito Keiichi..." Sun Zhidong murmured, "This name is somewhat familiar."

Lin Wan'er explained, "Ito Keiichi is the founder of the Ito family, the largest family in Japan today. He single-handedly transformed the Ito family from a small wealthy family in Kyoto into a wealthy tycoon in Japan. Zhengping is his half-brother."

Sun Zhidong suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, "Mr. Wade seems to have a close relationship with the Ito family."

"Yes," Lin Wan'er nodded, sighing, "If Zhengping had accepted the rejuvenation pill, he might have met Ito Takehiko in the future. Ito Keiichi is his great-grandfather."

The plane returned to Aurous Hill at nightfall. Lin Wan'er immediately locked herself in the mountaintop villa of Zijin Villa, brooding in solitude.

This meeting with Kongyin and their farewell made her realize something: she had always adopted children, raised them, and prepared them for the world, then disappeared from their worlds. She had thought they were forgotten, but she had never imagined that these children would retain their feelings for her for over a hundred years. 

.

Kongyin was like this, and presumably some of the other surviving children were the same. 

Back then, for safety's sake and to detach from them, Lin Wan'er rarely contacted them. But in her heart, these were her children, and how could she not miss them?

So, in the courtyard, beneath the Mother of Pucha tree, she secretly resolved that if Wu Feiyan was no longer a threat, she would visit her surviving children, if it was still possible.

The youngest among them was probably seventy years old.

...

Three days later, Master Kongyin's funeral was held in Kyoto, Japan. Touchingly, the funeral was presided over by Master Jingqing, a young Buddhist master from China and a close friend of Kongyin's. 

Kongyin's body was cremated at a Kyoto funeral home. All of Japan hoped that Kongyin's remains would be found after his cremation, but sadly, Kongyin vanished in a wisp of smoke, leaving behind only a handful of ashes.

In accordance with his wishes, his ashes were not left at Kinkakuji Temple. Kinkakuji only enshrined his spirit tablet, while his chief disciple quietly buried his remains in a cemetery on the outskirts of Kyoto.

This cemetery boasts a history of over a hundred years and is one of Kyoto's oldest established cemeteries. Tens of thousands of people have been buried there.

While new plots have been sold for several years, some have already purchased empty plots that remain unused.

.

One such plot, however, was purchased years in advance by the monk Kōin.

After Kōin's burial, a tombstone was erected in front of it. However, unlike most tombstones, its inscription contained only the six characters "Tomb of Saito Shōhei" and the year of his death at the bottom. 

Without a date of birth, few know the lifespan of the occupant of this tomb, let alone Kōin's final resting place.

Near Saito Shōhei's tomb, a few scattered tombstones bear the surname Saito, including those of Saito Keiko, Saito Toyama, Saito Hide, Saito Suzu, Saito Ryo, and others.

The death years of these people span a wide range, with the earliest even dying in 1926.

Those who don’t know might think that a certain Saito family buried all their deceased relatives here, but some elderly people in Kyoto know that these Saitos are basically orphans adopted by the famous Miss Saito.

They were all very successful in their youth, and most of them have spread their families all over Japan and even around the world, but without exception, before they died, they all asked their families to bury them here.

The tomb of Saito Shohei is just one of these Saito tombs. Apart from the newer tombstone, there is nothing special about it. 

.

However, for these orphans who grew up together, who have no blood relationship but are as close as brothers and sisters, isn’t it a different kind of romance to be buried together after death?
