The Blood Of God's

WE ARE UNITY #36

Haanish stared at the scroll of black cloth that lay on his work desk.before him sat down with the reverence of a great teacher of the Fuke school of Rinzai sect, Mugen. the priest was wearing a black montsuki with a rakushi that brushed against his chest.a large juzu tasbih necklace was tucked from his right shoulder.

"Master Teacher." Haanish called the title for Mugen who served as abbot of Rinzai. "What is this thing? as far as I know, a devout Buddhist will not carry a weapon." said the man.

Haanish himself, had abandoned his usual appearance.now the man had changed his clothes to yukata and hakama, which were combined with a long haori dangling down to the ankles. her long hair is now dressed in mizura style and pigtailed up. her appearance is very appropriate as a katoku as well as a toryo.

"Please my Master see what this parcel I brought. may be pleased with my Master's heart" Mugen said as he re-close his hands to the chest.

Haanish sighed and reached out to unroll it. His face immediately sparkled to see a flute made of light metal, about 90 centimeters long, shiny.

"Shakuhachi.." murmured Haanish.

the priest again bowed while clutching his hands together in the chest. "May my Master always be enlightened."

"Aamiin, God willing." replied Haanish.

the priest smiled. he had not previously thought that from all the toryo he knew spread across Japan, Yoshiaki Hasegawa (Haanish) is the only toryo who is Islamic, even at a young age, 25 years old.

"Is there anything I can do for Master?" asked Haanish politely.

Mugen issued leaflets containing promotions from the Rinzai monastery in Kyoto, and notes from donors. Haanish smiled and nodded.

"Wait a minute, Master Teacher." Haanish said then pressed one of the buttons on his desk.before long a sound was heard from his bodyguard, Aoki Fujita.

🎙"Yes my lord." replied Aoki.

🎙"Send data about Rinzai Monastery in Kyoto." pinta Haanish.

🎙"Soon, my lord." replied Aoki.

the intercom was shut down again. Haanish looked at Mugen. "Master Master need not worry. God willing I will be a regular donor of the Rinzai monastery.However, the wealth is nothing but the scum of the world.that is what my religion teaches."

Haanish then touched on the 254th verse of Surah Al-Baqarah and translated it before Mugen making the chief priest nodding in reverence.

"Anyone who comes. as long as I can, I will take it with a big air." Haanish said with a smile.

"Hamba thanks the Buddha for meeting a servant with someone like you. The servant used to think that the servant would only go home empty-handed. That is why, the servant made this shakuhachi with hope, and, My master can accept the servant." Mugen said honestly while bowing.

Haanish laughed for a moment. "Master Teacher, even without giving a gift, I will still help Master Teacher." replied Haanish, "Master Master has already thought negatively of me." he rebuked. "After all in my religious teachings, one's beliefs have nothing to do with alms, as long as they are not used for the purpose of treason."

Haanish back to QS. Al-Kafirun and translated it before Mugen. The priest is now aware, knowing toryo before him is a very pious man in his religion, also understand other religions, as well as an expert in comparative religion.

"I'm sorry for this poor servant, my lord." said Mugen, bowing in prostration, but was immediately rebuked by Haanish.

"Don't bow down before me, Master Teacher.I am not a god.I am a human being, just like you." - Haanish. "Actually without this gift, I will still do the donation.don't worry.come without burden."

"Again, I give my thanks to my Master." said Mugen and this time he did not bow in accordance with Haanish's reprimand not to bow and bow before him.

"Please let me accompany Master Teacher" Haanish said as he got up and grabbed the shakuhachi flute and then escorted Mugen out of the outer fortress Pavilion and stepped together towards the south. Aoki Fujita, the personal bodyguard of the head of the family, stepped in and watched the surroundings from behind.

throughout the journey Haanish explained many things from the point of view of several religions that he knew. Mugen was increasingly amazed by the young toryo who was so pious. Nagato clan was not in vain raised Haanish as their leader.

the two arrived at the southern Copper Gate. Mugen was then escorted by a line of Odawara palace warriors across the Sumiyoshi bridge to arrive at the public road. the abbot of Rinzai had been given an overcharge by Haanish and was given a three-man escort facility that would take him to Kyoto as part of Odawara's palace security attache.

with a relaxed pace, Haanish who escorted Aoki back down the streets of the palace complex twisted until arriving back at the main park Honmaru. there, there, the man met again with his wife Marissa who was enjoying a view of the wildlife in the form of menjangan and peacocks that roam a lot in the park.

the park maintenance staff and animals need not worry, the animals fled along the garden boundary until the gate was installed electromagnetic fence invisible to humans, he said, but it can be seen by the animals. instinctively, they will not dare to violate the trajectory.

Marissa was preoccupied with feeding the fawns when Haanish approached her.

"Assalamualaikum, my little wife." haanish gently said.

"Wa alaikum salam, my handsome sir." reply Marissa no less friendly.

Aoki and Saori seemed to already know etiquette. both of them immediately drifted away and broke away watching their two masters from the porch of the Honmaru Pavilion. Haanish momentarily threw a glance towards the empty Warrior Barracks and looked at his wife.

"Happy to feed the Deer boy?" haanish Fishing.

Marissa got up and turned to look at her husband. "Denai was happy to feed the living creatures." the 19-year-old madam looked up at Kanagawa's skyline. "Now, the number of animals has been very rare.as a creature given the mandate by God, as khalifatul fil ardh, he said, we must by all means balance the ecosystem so that the harmony of the universe is maintained."

"Forwardly, I'm glad to hear your words." pinta Haanish then stepped closer to a boulder and sat there. Marissa continued her story.

"The concept of In and Yo, not only are in the teachings of other religions.In the teachings of Islam there is also, even more perfect" said Marissa. "And it is not the animals on earth and the birds that fly with their wings, but the people (as well) like you...."

Haanish smiled and closed his eyes for a moment then reopened them. "Verse 38, Surah Al-An'am." guess what.

"It is He who made you rulers on earth and He exalted some of you to some degree (other), to test you on what He gave you." Marissa said.

Haanish smiled, "Verse 165 of Surah Al-An'am." guess again.

"And do not do any harm to the earth, after (God) has fixed it and pray to Him with fear (rejected) and hope (accepted)....." marissa said again this time with a big smile and stepped closer to her husband.

"Hmmm.. verse 56 of Surah Al-A'raf." guess Haanish. "Is this a tausyia or a threat to me?"

"Both" said Marissa widened her eyes with a big smile.

the two walked down the Honmaru park with long-distance escorts from Aoki and Saori. Both of them were dressed in official black suit suits with weapons hidden in a holster behind the suit.

"It's been a semester, we're staying here" Haanish said. "I plan to return to Gorontalo to take care of the munaqasyah and graduation session, then visit Papa, Mama, Bibi Yuki and Papa Akram...." Haanish turned his face into space. "How are you doing Mahreen now? is he still chasing Chouji?" muttered the man.

"Don't forget Denada." said Marissa.

"I won't visit him." Haanish replied, smiling. "For me... Denada is the past."

"Denai didn't tell Uda to visit him as an ex, but to visit him as a relative" Marissa replied.

"I won't visit her again, Marissa. if she comes to visit me, you or the two of us, it's her right. But, I've decided, whatever it is to do with the Wie family, whatever it is, it is no longer my business." Haanish said then started blowing shakuhachi flute with melodious groove.for a moment he then stopped it and then looked at his wife again. "I have revealed enough of the truth after that, they are not my business anymore.My business now is to dwell with you, to accompany you forever.even until we are reunited by God in the Hereafter."

Haanish again blew the shakuhachi flute, chanting the melody that Marissa felt as a form of affirmation of the life choices she lived. Marissa finally followed her husband from behind with a hidden smile.

...*************...

Park near Hotoku Ninomiya temple, Odawara palace complex, at 21:21 Nihon Hyojunji.

Danjo Sakamoto hugged the Hope Breaker as his left hand occasionally stirred the incendiary charcoal from the rather dimly lit campfire. in front of him sat Haanish who sat cross-legged while blowing shakuhachi flute to listen to melodious harmony.

Aoki Fujita stood some distance watching the two. In the middle of the small bonfire, Danjo attacked the fish.The activities he did follow the styles of the previous Ronin who did adventure in the musho-shugyo ritual.

"Have you heard of Prince Asahiko's plan?" ungkit Danjo opened the conversation.

Haanish still plays the harmonious notes of his shakuhachi flute. Danjo again stirred the charcoal-wood burning waste.

"His Highness Prince Asahiko intends to appoint you as one of the candidates in Sangi-in (Advisory Council) representing the Nagato Clan that was originally held by Ryuzou Hasegawa" said Danjo.

the sentence succeeded in making Haanish stop his activities blowing the flute. The man looked at Danjo.

"What do you think?" danjo Fishing.

"I disagree." replied Haanish.

"Why? give me a reasonable reason." demanded Danjo.

"Don't want to accept the position of sangi (minister), I just intend to release the position of katoku from the Hasegawa family and toryo Buke-Nagashi (samurai clan Nagato)." said Haanish. "I'm planning on going to Shiga."

"Having Koga shimoyashiki?" guess Danjo.

"You already know." said Haanish again blowing the flute.

Danjo smiled. "The prince had already discussed it before Naikaku Sori Daijin and all of Sangi in the Imperial Advisory Council with the exception of the right-wing, the prince said, all independent factions and left-wingers in Shugi-in (DPR) support you sitting in Sangi-in. They judge you as neutral to all groups, even your own religious groups.usually, they judge you as neutral to all groups, a candidate will always lean towards his religion, but, you are not so. that is why, after hearing the poll of the legislators, Prince Asahiko then held a special meeting with Naikaku Sori Daijin, who was not a candidate, regarding your appointment as one of his subordinates." said Danjo.

Haanish again stopped his activities blowing flutes. "It's up to His Highness the Prince to set it up, but, in conscience, I'm not willing."

"Don't go against his decision." Danjo reprimanded. "Thank you for that gift."

"Look, if you're willing to deliver." Haanish said provoking Danjo's attention.The man looked at Haanish. "Just put me in Homu-sho (Ministry of Justice) as the Managing Director of Koan Chosa-Cho (Public Security Intelligence Agency). That seems to fit my skills." Haanish suggested.

Danjo stared at him for a long time, then nodded. "Well, your proposal will be conveyed to His Highness Prince Asahiko."

"Good." said Haanish then continued blowing on shakuhachi's flute.

Danjo chuckled to see Haanish immersed in his activities blowing flutes.

"You're better suited to be a Komusho." Danjo joked.

"I am a wanderer, Danjo" said Haanish.

"What do you mean?" sue Danjo.

"Wanderers are not only physically, but we humans are also travelers from a spiritual angle" Haanish replied again playing his flute.

"Ruhani's journey? it was through meditation at Kashima's temple." said Danjo.

"That's great." praises Haanish.

"Then what do you think adventure is like?" danjo Fishing.

Haanish again stopped blowing the flute. he looked at Danjo. "I don't know what the concept of adventure is in Shinto and other religions, but let me explain the adventure in the perspective of my own religious teachings" Haanish suggested.

"Please." said Danjo.

Haanish fixed his seat and began to speak. "The adventure in the perspective of my religious teachings consists of four parts" Haanish said, brandishing the flute and twirling it. "The first basis is an adventure from the realm of creatures to the Yang Haq. can also be interpreted as an adventure from the plural to the singular. going from the compound to the singular."

"How is it?" sue Danjo while observing one of the fish that has matured on the attack in the roasting.

"Consider His creations" replied Haanish.

"Try to explain in more detail." pinta Danjo then peeled the skin of the fish and thrust it to Haanish, but the man refused it. told Danjo to consume it himself. Meanwhile Haanish again explained.

"The first dimension of the first adventure is the soul or tribe which has a double side as a reflection of good and evil.The next dimension is conscience.then the third dimension is reason.and the fourth dimension is spirit." haanish.

"Why does the human soul have to go through the spirit dimension?" asked Danjo with an interested look. []
