Chapter 102: Mr. Xu's Study
This discovery lifted my spirits and made me read it carefully.
"Yin-Yang is not the right way, the ghost way, the Shinto way, and the method of the gods are all different. It is rumored that hundreds of years ago, a family in Japan was a yin-yang family dedicated to daimyos. They cast spells marked by cherry blossoms, which often play a role in controlling ghosts and manipulating the dead. The daimyo relied on the clan's yin-yang art to achieve great successes for a time, but eventually the floods washed out the ditches, causing a shortage of food and the army could not be fed, and they were finally defeated by the other daimyos. ”
There's no mention of the origin of this family that uses the cherry blossom mark, but it's obviously not easy. But when it comes to the Japanese, yin and yang techniques and the like, Bao Buqi was left by the little devils during the War of Resistance Against Japan. Use the dead to fight, and they will come up with what they think.
After a few more pages, I found no other valuable information, but this red ribbon caught my eye, the booklet looked old, but this red ribbon looked quite new. Who deliberately tied it up to remind me? Could it be Mr. Xu?
But with this direction, I changed the method of searching and began to look up about the use of yin-yang in Japan during World War II.
Just as Hitler was looking for supernatural powers during World War II, Japan was not idle, according to some information, the Onmyoji were also conscripted into the army, and some of them entered the territory of China and participated in the War of Resistance against Japan!
Of course, you can't find this kind of thing in orthodox history, how can Japan blow its own onmyoji invincible in the sky and on the earth, how can it be that it has not made a move in the war of resistance for eight years?
According to the information I found, the most Onmyoji joined the Japanese special high class, that is, the intelligence department established by the Japanese fascists. Onmyoji uses spells, especially the so-called Shikijin and other onmyoji, to gather intelligence, assassinate, and lurk. There are many times in the information that such a sentence appears: on the surface it is a war of firearms, but secretly it is also a strange confrontation.
Of course, the final result is obvious to all, and the Japanese devils went home.
Of course, some Japanese Onmyoji families are also mentioned in the source, including the famous Abe Harumi and Michiman families, but what I am looking for is not such famous big names, but some low-key and even insignificant Onmyoji families.
After reading for most of the day, some records about the Battle of Songhu in Shanghai came into my eyes.
"We received an order from above and decided to assassinate the front-line commander in China. There were five Onmyoji involved, and I was given the order to assassinate a major general at the front. However, when we secretly infiltrated Shanghai, the order changed, and they asked me to assassinate Luo Zhuoying, the admiral opposite at the time. I am going to do it in three days, and use the clan's yin-yang technique to control a few dead Chinese soldiers, and let them rush into the headquarters to attack Luo Zhuoying......"
This record is estimated to be a diary, which should have been translated from earlier years, and it should read that a Japanese onmyoji was ordered to assassinate General Luo Zhuoying, a high-ranking Kuomintang official in China at the time, but from the ending, it seems that this onmyoji did not succeed. However, he mentions the use of yin-yang to control the dead, which reminds me of the bones I saw in a cave in the ground.
I sat down in my chair and imagined that if it was certain that the Japanese Onmyoji had done it, then they had controlled the dead and wanted to attack the Chinese soldiers, but they didn't succeed. He died, so the controlled corpse also died, but the spell on the top of the head was still there, so these corpses and souls restrained each other, and the souls could not be reincarnated, so they could only wander around.
But according to common sense, if the caster dies, then the object of the spell should also be liberated, that is to say, if the onmyoji who left the cherry blossom pattern dies, the spell should be invalid, and then the dead Japanese devil should also go to the underworld.
Scratching his head, many places still don't make sense, and it feels like the whole thing is getting more and more complicated.
"Knock Knock ......"
At this moment, the butler knocked lightly on the door, I was stunned, looked at it strangely, and said with a smile: "Excuse me, but it's already seven o'clock in the evening, and the lord has come back and wants to invite you out for dinner." ”
It was only then that I noticed that I had been sitting in the study for a whole day. I was also a little hungry, closed the book and stood up and said, "Sorry for the mess, I'll clean it up when I go back." ”
In the dining room, today is really lively, not only Luo Qiong and the fat man are here, but also Shen Mengtian is here. She is obviously very familiar with Mr. Xu, and the two of them have been chatting and chatting happily. After seeing me enter the dining room, Mr. Xu smiled and said, "Sit down, we are waiting for you to eat." ”
I have to say here that I was happy to live in Mr. Xu Congshu's house, and I was very comfortable, and some people enjoyed it even more with tea and water, but it was really not a happy thing to eat at their house.
Because it's too restrained!
I'm the kind of person who likes to eat without rules, and it's best to put my legs on the table, hold the wine bottle in one hand, and grab the chicken leg in the other, and eat the enjoyment of the sea. But at Mr. Xu's house, if you dare not sit upright, the housekeeper next to you will naturally remind you.
"You should put your legs down. ”
"Your rice has dropped. ”
"You should have had the soup first, and the sauce from the beef fell on the table. ”
I really don't eat well, eating food is a great enjoyment of my life, but after moving in, I often sneak in the room to eat steamed buns and mustard.
After sitting down, the fat man said with a smile: "Today, I ran with Teacher Shen to three or four families, and we gained a lot, how are you doing there?"
"Luo Qiong and I found a hole in the bunker near the school, which contained a skeleton with a spell suspected to have been left by a Japanese onmyoji, but the details are still being investigated. What about you? What about the specifics?"
I'll briefly explain it.
"The first one we ran today had a problem, this family, the father is a factory worker, the mother is unemployed, and she is an only child. But it seems that the old man is more patriarchal, so this little girl is not welcomed at home. It seemed that the old man didn't like her, and we looked in her room, which was a dark little cubicle, basically opaque, and it was difficult to walk in and turn around. Then, we found it in the girl's drawer......"
As he spoke, the fat man took out a piece of paper and handed it to me, and my face changed slightly, because there was a strange pattern drawn on the paper, which was somewhat similar to the pattern on the skull I had seen.
"It's a lot like the spell I found, it could have been done by one person. But there are still some deviations in the details. ”
I was concentrating on thinking about things, but the housekeeper next to me reminded me with a smile: "Mr. Ba, if you don't eat again, it may be cold." ”
I just came to my senses, and now it's time to eat, and smiled awkwardly as I put away the paper.
"I don't know how Mr. Shen and Mr. Xu met?
The fat man has always been very open at the dinner table, and asked with a smile.
"Uncle Xu and my dad are old acquaintances, and I heard that they did business together in Shanghai back then. In fact, if it weren't for Uncle Xu's care over the years, our family would probably be unsustainable. ”
Hearing that Shen Mengtian's words seemed to have other meanings, Mr. Xu Congyu took a sip of water, shook his head and said, "I have a deep friendship with your father, and it is not a surprise to take care of his daughter." What's more, you are my daughter who I watched grow up. ”
Under the mediation of the fat man, the dinner became very lively. Luo Qiong and I couldn't interject, so naturally we didn't say much. In addition, I wanted to finish eating quickly and go to check the information, so I kept my head covered.
"Mr. Ba, I heard that your mother is back?"
Mr. Xu suddenly asked this question.
I was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, but I should have returned to Hong Kong today, what's wrong? Where did you know about my mother?"
"Coincidentally, I still have business dealings with your mother. I'm curious why you didn't go back to Hong Kong with her, after all, your life can be very good after you go there. ”
Mr. Xu looked at me suspiciously.
I lowered my head, wiped my mouth after a while, stood up and said, "You guys use it slowly, I'm done, go check the information first." ”“
