koe 声 a strange voice
A plasterer from 内金 Uchigane hamlet walked over ノツコシ峠 the pass Notsukoshi,
when he heard a voice asking him to carry him over the pass.
He felt something heavy on his back.
The plasterer was quite afraid and started to run along.
When he saw 長篠の医王寺 the temple Yakuo-Ji at Nagashina,
the load on his back suddenly vanished.

hi 火 a flame
Once upon a time, the head priest from 医王寺 the temple Yakuo-Ji was a beautiful man.
But the young woman who worked as a helper in the temple was very ugly.
She tried to attract the attention of the priest.
She poured ritual oil for Yakushi Nyorai over her hair and dressed up.
When she appeared in front of the priest, he got angry and threw her out.
The woman became very sad and killed herself.
Soon after, a white light appeared near her grave. and the sound of an oil flame could be heared.
It sounded like mettai kuyashii メッタイクヤシイ "I am really frustrated now!".
This phenomen could be seen until the early Meiji period (1868).

The statue of 薬師如来 Yakushi Nyorai at 医王寺 the temple Yakuo-Ji was carved by 行基菩薩 Gyoki Bosatsu.
Once upon a time, a group of thieves came to the temple and wanted to steal the statue and other temple treasures.
At that moment, a priest suddenly stood in front of the thieves and drove them away.
It was in fact the statue of Yakushi, which had transformed into a human.
The statue now had a cut at the arm, where a thief had hit the priest.
