Chapter 111: 'Immortal Underground Palace'
"Death?"
Zixing and Mo Xiaofei were still discussing the details of entering the underground prison of the Nagato family, and naturally they inevitably discussed the true identity of the crazy woman trapped in the dungeon. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It claims to be so, but it's not. Mo Xiaofei frowned, as if he was recalling those chaotic memories, "But as for what the reason is, no matter how much I try this year, there is no way to inquire about it." But there is only one thing that can be confirmed, that is, the fact that this crazy woman is hidden in the dungeon of the Nagato family is known only to Lord Nagato, Shinji Nagato and Saburo Nagato. β
Zixing was curious: "How can Master Mo be so sure?"
Mo Xiaofei smiled bitterly: "This year's reincarnation, up and down the Nagato family, including the lowest subordinates, I just asked directly in person." β
Anyway, he has been reading the file all over again, and after countless deaths, Mo Xiaofei thinks that he has a lot of information - but he still can't break the current deadlock.
"Master Nagato and Shinji Nagato won't talk about it for the time being...... but Zixing frowned and said, "That Nagato Saburo can actually tolerate his wife being locked up in a dungeon and not seeing the light of day?"
Mo Xiaofei said: "There is one thing that is strange...... About Nagato Tsuruko. β
"Pen Fairy?" Zixing raised his eyebrows, "...... in the movie"
"I'm afraid that the world we live in now has seriously deviated from the plot of the movie. Mo Xiaofei shook his head: "So if you keep using the storyline as a reference, I'm afraid that what you face is just a dead end." β
"And what do you mean by the thing about Nagato Tsuruko?"
"Nagato Tsuruko was born in November. Mo Xiaofei said: "But as far as I know, the time when Saburo Nagato went to the battlefield was around the New Year of the same year!"
"Are you trying to say that Nagato Tsuruko is not born to Saburo Nagato?" Zixing shook his head: "There is not much difference in the world, if Saburo Nagato had sex with his wife before he went on the expedition, it is not impossible...... In other words, since he is going to go on an expedition, it is more reasonable to stay warm with his wife before leaving. β
"That being said...... Mo Xiaofei nodded, "There is a subordinate who is specifically responsible for the vigil." I used to quietly tie him up and ask him. After Saburo Nagato left, Lord Nagato once quietly came to the place where Saburo Nagato lived late at night. And, as far as I can see, Saburo Nagato is not good to Nagato Tsuruko...... Even nasty!"
Mo Xiaofei shook his head: "As a parent, where do you hate your own children? You should have seen Nagato Tsuruko, right? This little girl is beautiful, and she still likes it from the bottom of my heart! It's a pity that I can't get close to Nagato Saburo at all, although he is often drunk, I have also tried to knock on the side when he is drunk, but unfortunately I can't ask anything." Originally, if I hadn't met you this time, I was going to capture Saburo Nagato......"
Mo Xiaofei didn't say what he would do after he caught it...... Zixing also wisely didn't ask.
Reincarnated for a year, without going crazy...... If there is not even the slightest change, it is naturally not normal.
Zixing could vaguely feel a trace of indifferent anger on Mo Xiaofei's body, but she didn't point it out immediately, but just said, "So, what's the deal with the curse of the village?
"That's what I'm trying to say...... Those shameless deeds behind the back of the Nagato family. Mo Xiaofei took a deep breath, and a terrifying murderous intent flashed in his eyes!
"Hook ......"
Mo Xiaofei shook his head: "I'm afraid it's hard to say clearly, it's better for you to take a look directly, you will have a more intuitive understanding - but first, you have to help me open the Nagato master." Because the entrance to the organ was in the courtyard where he lived, or even next to his bedroom. On weekdays, Lord Nagato will not leave this place, and even if he leaves, he will order his subordinates to watch, and no one will be allowed to approach. Many times, I was able to sneak into that place after Master Nagato left and knocked the guards unconscious!"
Zixing nodded, then looked at the time, and then tied Mo Xiaofei with a rope again...... It just looks like it's tightened, but it's actually just a rope.
And after the two discussed, the best time to sneak in was at night. When the daughter of the Kondo family arrived, the Nagato family naturally had to ceremoniously pick up the wind and wash the dust for her.
Mr. Nagato was already preparing a sumptuous dinner.
Soon after, the samurai of the Kondo family, who had been separated by the Purple Star, came back from a round of inspection, and originally planned to torture 'Kojiro Sasaki', but Miss Tsukihime summoned her back, saying that she would prepare and accompany her to the dinner party of the Nagato family, and that she would not be in a hurry after the dinner - how could she not be in a hurry?
Under the powerful gaze of 'Kondo Tsukihime', the two samurai finally agreed--but it was okay to accompany the young lady to attend, one left and one right, with their powerful force, no matter what the danger could be resisted.
Although Lord Nagato was also a samurai, he was now old, how could he be their opponent...... Not caring about what the Kondo samurai was thinking, Purple Star waved back directly, and then called a maidservant in front of him.
"Bring a veil and put on my clothes. Tonight, you are here in my place. Zixing said indifferently: "Remember not to speak, just nod or shake your head." β
"Miss, I'...... I don't dare!" How dare she pretend to be Tsukihime!
"You just have to do what I tell you to do. Zixing said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, you will be removed from Kondo's house." β
"That'...... All right. β
Seeing the maid trembling and starting to try on clothes, Zixing sighed secretly...... If it weren't for the loss of demonic power, where would there be such trouble?
"Sit up straight! Don't keep your head down! You're Kondo Tsukihime now!"
"Good...... Ok ......"
......
......
This is far more than when the Nagato family eats. Because, not only the people of the Nagato family, but also some of the people in Waseda Village who are relatively high.
Of course, under the strict class system, Lord Nagato also had to give up the top position, and his own position was slightly moved away and placed below.
"Father, the next person said that Miss Tsukihime has already left the room. Shinji Nagato whispered in Master Nagato's ear.
Master Nagato nodded, "Wait a minute, remember to behave well." If we can become Miss Tsukihime's husband, then our Nagato family will never need to ...... anymore In short, you are good for yourself. β
"I see, father. Shinji Nagato nodded cautiously.
Master Nagato suddenly said: "There is another thing, Tsuruko is also your uncle's daughter and your sister, even if there is anything, you shouldn't hurt her, understand?"
The subordinate Ah Xiu, who took care of Miss Hezi improperly, was locked up and suffered a lot of family laws, and I am afraid that in the process of suffering, I will not be able to stand up and say what I really think. It wasn't hard for Shinji Nagato to think of this...... But in the face of his father's reminder at this moment, Shinji Nagato clenched his fists.
He took another deep breath and regained his composure, "I'll pay attention next time, father." β
"Do you plan to have a next time?" said Master Nagato snorted coldly.
Shinji Nagato's eyes panicked, "No, no." β
At this time, the gate was pushed open, and accompanied by two Kondo samurai, 'Kondo Tsukihime' slowly walked in. Master Nagato hurriedly stood upβand with him, everyone present also stood up.
"Miss Tsukihime, you...... What's wrong with you?"
"Miss Tsukihime is not feeling well!" The samurai on the left said indifferently: "So I can only cover it with a veil!Nagato, Miss Tsukihime is still attending your dinner party even if she is ill, this is your honor, you know!"
Lord Nagato immediately thanked Dade, and as for Shinji Nagato, he also began to look for opportunities so that he could make a deep impression on the princess of the Kondo family.
At the dinner, 'Kondo Tsukihime' sat down and didn't say a word...... The little hands are cold.
......
The wooden door creaked and creaked, and it was the place where the Nagato family used to shut down the disobedient subordinates - and at the same time the place where the firewood was stacked.
The maidservant Ah Xiu was locked up here at this moment.
She wasn't tied, but there were a lot of bruises on her arms, and there were no signs of injury on her face.
The door is actually unlocked...... There was no one to guard even the outside. It's just that Ah Xiu didn't dare to leave - if he didn't have the master's order and left here without permission, the end would be even more miserable.
The moment the door opened, Ah Xiu hurriedly knelt on the ground, lowered her head and said in horror: "Ah Xiu won't dare next time, don't dare! I will definitely take care of Miss Hezi and not let her get hurt...... Ah Xiu really doesn't dare, master, can you forgive me......"
"Ah Xiu, what are you doing?" ...... But it was the voice of Nagato Tsuruko.
"Miss Tsuruko......" Ah Xiu looked up in amazement.
I saw Nagato Tsuruko carrying a lantern that seemed particularly big to her, and holding a leaf of rice balls in her hand, and came to Ah Xiu's face, "Ah Xiu, are you hungry?"
"Miss Hezi, go quickly, don't be here! Otherwise, if the master sees it, he will scold you!" Ah Xiu hurriedly looked out of the door, and saw that it was quiet and empty outside, so he was a little relaxed.
"They're all eating, not coming here. Nagato Tsuruko shook his head and opened the leaves at random and slowly, "Ah Xiu, eat! I brought it from the kitchen." β
"Oh...... Is the lord having a banquet for the princess of the Kondo family?" Ah Xiu nodded: "But, Miss Tsuruko, don't they let you attend?"
Nagato Tsuruko touched his forehead, which was still bandaged, "Don't let it, it's not good-looking." β
Ah Xiu cared for Nagato Crane lovingly, and carefully touched Nagato Crane's forehead, "Does it still hurt?"
Nagato Tsuruko shook his head and once again held the rice ball in front of Ah Xiu. Ah Xiu was moved and sad, but she also took it.
Nagato Tsuruko took out a book from the small kimono at this time, and showed a smiling face, "Ah Xiu, when you're full, read to me." β
"Okay, Ah Xiu will read to Miss. β
......
Mo Xiaofei, who was waiting quietly, suddenly heard the sound of breaking something outside the door, and he immediately let go of the rope and opened the door to take a look.
At a glance, he found that a ashigaru guarding outside had fallen to the ground at this time, and the ground was full of fragments of flower pots - Mo Xiaofei looked at the girl standing next to him, and couldn't help but be stunned: "This ...... You don't have to be so ruthless, right? β
"It's Kondo's Tsukihime's people, not my people. Zixing said indifferently: "Without further ado, let's go immediately, the dinner time should not be long." β
Mo Xiaofei nodded and said quickly, "Follow me." β
He directly led Zixing to the courtyard where Master Nagato lived, and walked in with a swagger, and at this time, an angry voice came from inside, "Stop!
"Big brother, will you change your lines next time......" I only heard Mo Xiaofei complain, so he rushed forward directly.
In the next second, a dull voice was heard, and the guard's man had already fallen to the ground, but he saw Mo Xiaofei clapping his palms, and then beckoned to the place where Zixing was hiding, "You can come out." β
"It's worthy of Master Mo. Zixing nodded.
Mo Xiaofei shook his head and said, "This guy, I've brushed it back and forth dozens of times, and I know where his weaknesses are." Although I can't use my original strength now, this Sasaki Kojiro's body is still very strong. β
Zixing didn't say anything, and followed Mo Xiaofei into the room in the courtyard.
"Be careful, the first time I fell from the mechanism that was activated by Master Nagato...... This place. The rope that activates is hidden under the screen. Mo Xiaofei pointed to a tatami mat somewhere.
"Do you want to go down from here?"
Mo Xiaofei shook his head and said, "It's not okay to go down from here, there is a stone gate below, and I can't open it now." But there are other entrances...... It's where Master Nagato sleeps, I found out later, come with me. β
I saw Mo Xiaofei quickly touch the bedroom of Master Nagato, and then twisted a vase placed in the corner of the wall, and saw that the wall on the opposite wall loosened.
Before Mo Xiaofei left, he pushed hard, and the wall had already been pushed open. Zixing glanced at it, picked up an oil lamp and lit it, and followed behind Mo Xiaofei.
Behind the wall is a staircase that leads down.
"What the hell did the Nagato family build this underground prison for?" Zixing couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It doesn't look like this dungeon was built by the Nagato family. Mo Xiaofei said slowly: "A long time ago, Waseda Village was occupied by a monster. The monster built a dungeon here, and locked up the people he captured as food for himself. Later, the monster was taken, and then the ancestors of the Nagato family made a merit and were rewarded with Waseda Village as their own territory. I think it was discovered during the construction of the Nagato family's mansion, and then it was remodeled by the Nagato family, and it became what it is now. β
Purple Star nodded.
Mo Xiaofei suddenly said at this time: "Speaking of which, the women born in Wasa Village are all very beautiful. Even if you're a little older, you can describe it as charming, right?"
"Master Mo, I don't know what you want to say?" Zixing didn't understand the meaning of Mo Xiaofei's words at this time...... It's not like a prodigal son who will silence women.
"Have you seen an old man on the way here?" Mo Xiaofei suddenly asked again: "It's not an old man, but an old woman or something." β
Zixing frowned, but recalled what he saw on the road, "Not really, why is this?"
"On the one hand, because in ancient times, medical technology was not better, and people were short-lived. Mo Xiaofei said indifferently: "On the other hand, nature is artificial. Remember the curse I said?"
Purple Star nodded.
Mo Xiaofei's face turned gloomy, "The young and beautiful can stay, but the old and decrepit can only be discarded...... But since it's the women of the village who are cursing, not everyone is willing to help the old people. β
"The cell over there. Speaking of this, Mo Xiaofei's face became even more ugly, "At the end is the crazy woman I told you about." But the other cells were used to keep the old women. Do you know why they're locked up? to cover up the fact that the curse doesn't exist...... Plus, they're also used to feed something that the Nagato family raises!"
Zixing frowned, but he looked at the passage on the other side, still analyzing Mo Xiaofei's words.
"And here, it's the real source of the Nagato family's income......" Mo Xiaofei gritted his teeth, "A lewd nest! Because of the curse, the young girls in Wasai Village have to accept the fact that they have to have sex with men to save their lives...... When the women of the village have become accustomed to having sex with different men, they no longer have any scruples about this. But in fact, Waseda still needs a final fig leaf! Hence the place and the ironic name 'Eternal Underground Palace'!"
Leading Zixing towards this passage, Mo Xiaofei sneered: "The Nagato family told the women in the village that in order to protect the village, they are willing to spend their family wealth, and they will hire some men from other villages every month to renew the lives of the women in the village, so that the women in the village can be grateful to Dade...... But it's not, the men who came were all paid for it!"
"Ah......h
Not because of what Mo Xiaofei said, but because Mo Xiaofei quietly opened a door at this time, allowing her to see everything inside the door.
It can be described as magnificent.
Men and women...... But it's so unsightly!
