Chapter 958: Three more days, and we're getting married!!

~14 min read 2,630 words

Entering the end of November, at the filming base in Ota Ward, Naoki Nagayama was directing the crew in filming today's scenes.

He looked at the set decorated as the Police Headquarters and was slightly dissatisfied:

"If only we could really go to Sakurada-mon to film......"

"Sakurada-mon?" Tomokazu Miura next to him laughed out loud. "That would probably require getting arrested to get in..."

Sakurada-mon was the center of the Japanese police system. Almost any police officer inside was at the rank of inspector or above...... Wanting to film a movie in such a critical place?

Unless one had some connection with the Commissioner General or someone higher up, otherwise it was a film project with political significance.....

"Yes, Naoki~" Cousin Feng Yongshan also added from the side, "Maybe if we get Grandfather arrested, we can go in to visit..."

"You two!" Naoki Nagayama shook his head. "Actually, wanting to get in isn't that difficult...... At worst, donate a billion to Sakurada-mon..... But for a few shots, half the movie's revenue isn't worth it...."

"......."

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but nod. This method still had a high probability of success~

In a capitalist society, money is indeed omnipotent!

Today's scene was nearing the end. After Hayato Nagayama, played by Feng Yongshan, was assassinated, he hid away. After finally surviving, he was finally going to start his revenge!

He handed the evidence of the corruption of the upper echelons to Nan Nan Jun Xiong Sato, the police officer played by Tomokazu Miura, allowing him to capture the scum of the police system with irresistible force and gain great merit again....

He had already had the opportunity to be promoted to Assistant Inspector due to his merits, and now he would have the opportunity to be promoted again for cracking a major case. His police rank would be promoted again, and he was about to become the section chief of the Fourth Investigation Division, officially stepping into the management layer of the police system.....

He was receiving congratulations for his promotion at Sakurada-mon!

At the same time, Hayato Nagayama, who had survived, gathered his subordinates, aimed at the backbone of other groups that participated in the assassination, and set off a bloody storm.....

One was being awarded in the light, with a bright future; one was fighting in the dark, with blood splashing five steps....... These two people were like two kinds of lives going in opposite directions, entangled with each other at the beginning, and parting ways in the end!

After the shots in this set were finished, the crew of *The Legend of Hayato* quickly transferred to the next set...... The first and last station.

After everything was calm, the two returned to the Tokyo Station where they started. Behind the pervasive water vapor, it was still the lively atmosphere of people coming and going, rubbing shoulders.

Inspector Nan Nan Jun Xiong Sato, wearing casual clothes, was smoking, his tone a bit strange:

"Really not staying in Tokyo?"

"Ha...... I've offended all the groups in Tokyo...... and dragged a batch of police and government people down with me~"

Hayato Nagayama was wearing a loose kimono, open like a ronin of the old era, showing his figure that had lost a circle, and the bandages wrapped around his body. He was light and airy, quite having an uninhibited style,

"Tokyo..... can't hold me anymore~"

Yakuza figures like Hayato Nagayama were originally supposed to be gray gloves for some upper-class people, and now that he had bitten back at his master, even if it wasn't him, other people standing in the same position would feel the same way.

No matter who filled the vacant position, they would no longer give Hayato Nagayama corresponding support!

Added to that, in order to take revenge, Hayato Nagayama had killed quite a few backbones and even bosses of the groups. If the remaining group members wanted to move up, according to the rules of the yakuza, they also needed to take revenge for their predecessors..... Therefore, they wouldn't let Hayato Nagayama go either!

There was almost no place for him in the black and white worlds of Tokyo, so he could only choose to leave.....

"Isn't there still me!" Nan Nan Jun Xiong Sato said this sentence, "As long as I explain to the higher-ups that you are my informant...."

"Impossible~" Hayato Nagayama patted his friend's shoulder. "I am now, thoroughly and completely, a yakuza!"

"......."

Nan Nan Jun Xiong Sato was silent for a long time, recalling that it was he who pulled him into this muddy water of Tokyo...... Finally, all kinds of emotions converged into one sentence,

"Sumimasen....."

"Hahaha, baka AIBO...... don't say such things!" Hayato Nagayama stubbed out the cigarette and flicked the butt away dashingly. "This kind of life is what I, Hayato Nagayama, chose myself!"

Hayato Nagayama, who stood up, walked towards the train feeling relaxed all over, without even bringing luggage, just like when he came.

"I came, I left!

Haha~ Tokyo is still quite fun~"

His figure gradually hid in the water mist, but one could still vaguely see his back waving his hand......

"....."

"Hai~~ Cut!" Naoki Nagayama roared, drawing a period to this shot, and then said to everyone in the crew, "Alright, today's scenes are all finished! Everyone can rest!"

"Oh!! Oh!!" "Great!" "Finally!" "....."

The crew members celebrated, finally they could rest!

During this period, Naoki Nagayama was like he had been injected with chicken blood, tossing the crew from morning to night, and would absolutely not get off work until after midnight..... The workload of this week was simply more than the previous half month!

When everyone started to pack up tools, preparing to get off work and rest, Naoki Nagayama called over Munao Matsuo and Tomoyuki Nishimoto, and gave them instructions:

"Currently, the main storyline of *The Legend of Hayato* is almost finished! It's almost time to wrap up....."

"Next, you take the materials back to Tree Friends' editing room, and start editing after I come back...... However, this movie may still have many places that need reshooting, let everyone stand by at any time before the end of the year...."

"Hai!" X2

The two assistant directors agreed together, and then said with a smile,

"Congratulations Naoki-san..... Happy wedding....."

"Haha, thank you~" Naoki Nagayama responded with a smile. "Wait until I come back to bring you souvenirs....."

Everyone in the crew already knew that he was going back to his hometown to get married. Someone had come to congratulate him in the morning. Now that the work was finished, the two also came to congratulate him.

After the two of them, quite a few people in the crew came to Naoki Nagayama's side and said some congratulatory blessings. Naoki Nagayama also responded one by one. After dismissing the crew, Feng Yongshan walked over:

"Naoki.... when are you going back?"

It was already November 28th, tomorrow was almost the last two days of preparation...... Naoki Nagayama should be returning to Shizuoka.

"Pack luggage at night, arrive in Shizuoka tomorrow, but it should be in the afternoon..... I still have to arrange Akina's family...."

"Haha, I'm going back tonight......" Feng Yongshan said. "I will stay at the ancestral house then. If there's anything that needs help, call me anytime!"

"Then thank you~"

Naoki Nagayama patted his enthusiastic cousin's shoulder. When the time came, he would have to rely on him to lead the younger brothers to hold up the scene!

Returning to Shanying Yuan at night, Naoki Nagayama found the large living room brightly lit.

The large living room of Shanying Yuan after expansion was generally just for display. If there were no friends invited to gather, the lights wouldn't even be turned on often, because for two people, the small living room next to it was enough.

After opening the door and walking in, he found that a large empty space had been pulled open in the middle of the living room, and then several kimono racks were placed side by side in the middle. Akina, Maki Ueda, and Norinori Mingxing were all there.

"Maki-chan, Mingxing-san..... thank you for your hard work~"

Naoki Nagayama nodded to the two agents. They must have helped carry them in!

"Where, where~" "It's nothing~"

"Naoki-san~"

Akina was very happy to see Naoki Nagayama return, and hurriedly pulled him to the side of the wedding kimono,

"The dress is back! You come and see too.... It's really very beautiful!"

The peacock and peony embroidered wedding kimono had gorgeous colors and was exceptionally luxurious, occupying everyone's attention just by hanging on the rack......

"It's really..... gorgeous~"

Naoki Nagayama reached out and gently touched the exquisite embroidery patterns, and couldn't help but sigh. No wonder a set of high-quality kimono could be passed down from generation to generation.....

Maki Ueda next to him looked at this wedding kimono, the stars in her eyes were constantly flashing. If she could wear such a kimono when she got married, she would be satisfied for a lifetime!

Norinori Mingxing also looked blankly, sighing in his heart. Fortunately, he was already married. Now that prices were so high, if he were to get married now, could his wallet afford such a set of kimono~

Naoki Nagayama appreciated it for a while, then turned to look at Akina:

"Really want to see what it looks like when worn on Akina....."

Although she had tried it on at the kimono hall during the production process, for some reason she was a bit shy now, probably wanting to let Naoki Nagayama see the most beautiful moment at the wedding:

"Naoki-san.... wait until the reception to wear it~"

Naoki Nagayama sighed, but didn't urge her..... Anyway, there would be plenty of opportunities for Akina to wear it in the future!

"Three more days.... No one will be able to look away by then!"

"Mm!" Akina nodded happily!

In the living room, besides this bright wedding kimono, there were two other sets, one was a white pure kimono and one was a dark blue furisode, both to be worn at the wedding banquet~

Besides that, Naoki Nagayama's formal wear was also sent over, but there was nothing to say about the solid-colored kimono for men, just wear it when the time comes~

"Tomorrow, I will charter a car to send all these sets of formal wear to Shizuoka."

Akina Nakamori said to Naoki Nagayama after sending off Maki Ueda and Norinori Mingxing,

"And Father, Mother, Grandmother, and brothers and sisters..... send them to the hotel together......"

"Mm~" Naoki Nagayama nodded. Chartering the resort hotel was to accommodate Akina's and his own relatives. "At that time, Otomo-san, Xiuyi-san, and the others will also stay in the hotel...."

Naoki Nagayama heated a glass of milk for Akina, and the two leaned on the sofa to communicate about the arrangements for tomorrow and beyond.

"As for Grandfather's side, he will definitely come on the day.... Uncle should also show up, but he probably won't go to the reception..... If those two are at the reception, everyone will be nervous~"

Father Ken Nagayama's branch had long been away from the yakuza, and the Nakamori family was even more of an ordinary family. The reception for the marriage of these two families was all ordinary relatives.

And Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori's own friends were also so-called "white-path" people. If yakuza big shots appeared at the banquet, it would make people feel at a loss.

"A bit rude...."

"Then go to visit as a granddaughter-in-law later....." Naoki Nagayama comforted. "Grandfather has experienced so much, he won't care~"

"Good~"

Naoki Nagayama gave the crew a holiday himself, and Akina naturally asked for leave too. These few days, or rather this week, were all set aside by the two for wedding-related matters.

Although they hired a professional wedding company, this newlywed couple was still striving for perfection in all aspects of the wedding, after all, it was a major event that only happens once in a lifetime......

"Three more days....."

"Mm, three more days...."

Naoki Nagayama touched the head of Miaotaro lying on the sofa, and patted Ying Taro who was very well-behaved at his feet..... looking forward to the situation three days later.

"Miaotaro and Ying Taro also have to attend the ceremony!" Akina said with a smile.

"Mm, the two of them are the witnesses of our love!"

"Yes~"

Akina leaned affectionately against Naoki Nagayama, the happiness on her face seemed to have materialized~

Ying Taro looked up at the two masters, ate another meal of dog food, and then lay down satisfied~

At this very moment, in the suburbs of Shimizu City, Shizuoka, in a small family temple.

Kotaro Obara, whose hair had been shaved off, was sitting upright in front of the Buddha statue, performing his practice in the family temple.....

Seeing the temple abbot holding a huge wooden fish mallet wrapped in burlap, he walked in front of Kotaro Obara under the gaze of several monks:

"The lay Buddhist has been in this temple for quite a while..... Previously, the poor monk thought the lay Buddhist's words about becoming a monk were just a joke, but now seeing you have a firm heart towards Buddha, I am willing to accept you into the temple to practice....."

"What is practiced in this temple is the way of bitter practice, green lamps and ancient Buddhas, one thought of persistence, not disturbed by the red dust, the heart is clear by itself.

Accepting you into the door requires a head-on blow to retreat the distractions of the secular world..... Do you understand?"

"The little monk understands!" Kotaro Obara's face was solemn. He had already paid such a painful price, so naturally, he wouldn't give up halfway here. "Please, Abbot, give me your instruction!"

"Good! I recite one sentence, you respond with one sentence!"

The abbot, whose beard was already gray, still had great strength. He lightly raised the mallet and knocked it on Kotaro Obara's bald head not too lightly or too heavily, making a crisp sound, but he shouted in his mouth:

"Green lamps and ancient Buddhas, the red dust is not disturbed!"

The newly shaved bald head was like a ripe watermelon, knocking it was really crisp and loud!

The solid wooden mallet the size of a fist, even if wrapped in burlap, was very painful when knocked on the head!

Kotaro Obara's eyes turned red instantly, and he could only grit his teeth and follow along:

"Green lamps and ancient Buddhas, the red dust is not disturbed!"

"Bang!" Another mallet, the old monk said again, "The heart is clear, able to cut off troubles!"

"The heart is clear, able to cut off troubles!!"

"Bang".....

"One thought of persistence, no thought and no persistence!"

"One thought of persistence, no thought and no persistence!!!"

A tear flowed from the corner of Kotaro Obara's eye, not knowing if it was a great enlightenment or because it was too painful!

However, the abbot was not there to hit people. After a few Buddhist verses, he put down the mallet, and then said very gently to the newly entered Kotaro Obara:

"Alright, from now on you enter my temple...... practice well!"

"Thank you, Abbot!"

Kotaro Obara put his hands together, devout and grateful, really having some appearance of a monk.

"Mm..... by the way, you don't have a dharma name yet, right?"

"Yes...."

"Mm, then I will give you one....." The abbot thought for a while and continued, "According to the seniority in the temple, you should be of the 'Guang' generation...... Your dharma name..... why not call it 'Guangzhi'! Broadly open wisdom, as wished to achieve!"

"Yes....."

Kotaro Obara, ah no, Monk Guangzhi bowed in thanks. ===== CHAPTER 959 =====
