Ito's face was gloomy and he said: "Mr. Wang Huan, I have always respected you very much, and I also respect your feelings about the country and history, but what you do is really unacceptable to me. Insulting the corpse of an opponent is shameful for a true samurai. ”

I looked at Ito Mako, "I have to correct a few of your mistakes." I asked you to behead your body out of consideration for your samurai feelings. First, what you are killing is not a corpse in the ordinary sense, have you ever seen a dried corpse that can kill people? You are killing the enemy, not desecrating the corpse. ”

"This ......" Ito was dumbfounded by my question, after all, it is an indisputable fact that we almost died at the hands of the Japanese soldiers last night.

I continued: "Second, in Japan, beheading an opponent is also a form of respect, isn't it? Didn't you just wrap a white cloth around the hilt of your sword?"

The second sentence is purely nonsense, Ito is not one of those people who committed suicide by cutting his abdomen, how can there be a respectful statement.

However, I spoke unusually seriously. In my opinion, even if you talk nonsense, you have to give people a feeling of "I'm not educated, don't be picky", right?

Ito really looked at the * in his hand, he didn't say anything for a long time, but one of his subordinates said something, Lu Xinyao translated with a strange face: "He said: What did you mean by pinching the time just now?"

I replied lightly: "Appreciation among warriors." ”

The man wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Yin Tengzhen waving his hand.

When Ito really didn't know what to say, one of his other subordinates said, "Mr. Wang Huan, although you have already explained your practice of urinating on the deceased's head, I don't think that is a suitable reason. ”

I reached out and pointed at Ito: "Ask him, can the child's urine ward off evil spirits?"

Ito said: "Black dog blood, children's urine is indeed a sharp weapon for Chinese folk to drive away evil spirits, this point has long been decided. So I didn't stop it. ”

The man could only stand to the side with his eyes open, and Ito was silent for a moment before bowing deeply to me: "Mr. Wang Huan, I'm sorry. It's my fault. ”

I waved my hand and said, "It's all partners, just talk about it." ”

When Lu Xinyao looked at me with a strange face, Ye Xun couldn't help but roll his eyes, the people present, I'm afraid only the two of them know that I am a serious.

I quickly changed the topic and said, "Ito, you haven't answered the question I asked you just now. ”

Mamichi Ito: "My ancestor has been studying shamans since he returned to Japan. I think Mr. Wang Huan should know something about shamans, right?"

Ito was clearly testing me, and he was willing to cooperate with me because he regarded me as a disciple of the "Divine Gate", but he didn't know why he doubted my identity, so he would make a tentative statement.

Fortunately, I haven't forgotten the "Vientiane Sutra", and it is more than enough to deal with him.

I replied calmly, "Shamanic traditions began in prehistoric times and spread all over the world. The place where shamanism is most worshipped is in the Volga River valley, where the Finnish race lives. ”

"What we often call shamanism is a type of witch religion distributed in North Asia, including Manchu shamanism, Mongolian shamanism, Central Asian shamanism, and Siberian shamanism. Legend has it that shamans have the ability to control the weather, prophecy, dream interpretation, astrology, and travel between heaven and hell. ”

"There is also a theory that the Chinese shaman originated from Dongyi, Jiuli, and to be more accurate, it is the Chiyou tribe. After the Hanquan War opened by Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, the southward migrants were barbarians, and the northerners were Hu, and the customs of ethnic minorities in the north and south of China have shamanic cultural remains. ”

I paused at this point and looked directly at Ito Makoto: "Speaking of shamanism, you seem to be more familiar with shamanism than me, right? Although there are still shamanic cultural relics in the land of China today, they have long been lost. Not even as complete as Japan. ”

I'm not saying this, I'm not talking about it. At present, the country with the most complete shamanic lineage is South Korea, followed by Japan. Shintoism in Japan is actually a variant of a branch of shamanism.

Mamichi Ito: "Although Shinto combines the lineage of shamanism, it cannot be a shaman in the true sense of the word. There are some things that I still need to verify. ”

Ito asked very seriously, "How does Mr. Wang explain the relationship between the great god of dancing and the shaman?"

I said sarcastically, "Mr. Ito, if Mr. Ito were not a samurai, he would have become an excellent scholar." ”

Ito said sincerely: "This matter is very important, and I ask Mr. Wang Huan to solve my doubts." ”

I was silent for a while and said, "Some people think that dancing gods and shamans are the same thing, and some people think that there is a clear distinction between the two, and the great fairy will not admit that he is a shaman, and shamans will not go to dance gods." ”

"It seems to me that the relationship between the great god and the shaman has long been intangible, at least the person who dances the great god can't deny that they are dancing the shaman. Therefore, I have always felt that dancing the great god is a continuation of shamanism. ”

Ito Zhen nodded and said, "Mr. Wang Huan's opinion is completely consistent with the original inference of the family ancestor. According to the research of the ancestors, although the god of jumping has integrated some elements of Chinese Taoism, orthodox Taoists have never recognized the god of jumping. So he is more inclined to dance the great god from the shaman. This is why the ancestor of the family chose to buy the great immortal Sun Chengtao. ”

"The ancestor secretly visited many so-called immortals at that time, only Sun Chengtao was the closest to the ancient shaman, the ancestor had communicated with Sun Chengtao for a long time, and finally determined that Sun Chengtao should be the descendant of the ancient shaman, so he did not hesitate to buy Sun Chengtao, hoping to unlock the secret of the Daliao ruins of Pingtianhai through Sun Chengtao. ”

"Although the ancestor of the family had repeatedly overestimated the strength of the ancient shaman, it was not until he went deep into the Pingtian Sea that he realized that the ancient shaman was far more powerful than he imagined. The shamanic curse hidden in the sea of flat heavens has become almost mythical. ”

I couldn't help but ask, "Can you make it clearer?"

"I'm sorry. Ito shook his head and said, "Since the ancestor was cursed by the shaman, he can't mention the core secret of Ping Tianhai, otherwise he will die." Every time, he just gave me clues and asked me to find the answers on my own. ”

"I've looked up information about shamans. In shamanism, there is a worship of the sun, moon, stars, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and it is said that a high-level shaman can control the weather, which is what you often call for wind and rain. The top shaman, however, can control time and rotate the sun and the moon. ”

Ito really called himself a samurai, but I saw fear in his eyes: "We have experienced one time after another in just one hour, isn't it because of the shaman's forbidden place that we broke in......to?"

I said in a deep voice, "You don't have to think anything, I don't believe that there is anyone in this world who can make the sun and the moon rotate, unless he is a god." If you don't even have the ability to bear it, you might as well commit suicide by seppuku! I don't mind cutting off your head when your hands and feet are shaking and you can't cut your belly. ”

"Yaga!"

As soon as I finished speaking, Ito's men surrounded me with a roar of rage.

Yin Tengzhen waved his hand and slapped the person who walked in front of him and staggered: "Mr. Wang Huan is right, if you can't even face this fear, you will call yourself a samurai." ”

Ito gave me a deep bow, "Thank you." ”

I calmly accepted the other party's salute, and Ito Zhen was a little interesting.

I looked at Yin Tengzhen and said, "You just said that we have experienced the rotation of the sun and the moon within an hour, and you just pinched the time?"

Yin Tengzhen pointed to his watch: "I have a habit of looking at my watch before doing important events. We entered the cottage at 10:30 a.m., and now it's 12 o'clock. According to the date on my watch, we did not experience a day and night in the hall, but only a few hours. ”

I grabbed Yin Tengjin's palm and glanced at his wrist a few times, and the latter wanted to withdraw his hand at first, but then simply lowered his head and didn't move. I let go of Yin Tengzhen's hand and said, "What about the timing equipment on your body?

"Yes!" everyone nodded.

This answer is actually in my expectation, I just looked at the date on the phone and it was indeed within a day.

I paced around the spot twice with my hands behind my back before stopping: "I'll have to reorganize my thoughts." Ito Shin, tell me, from what direction did you enter the flat heavenly sea, did you pass by Shilitun due north, and after you came, did you look for Ito Akikawa to leave his men?"

Ito shook his head and said, "I didn't want to alarm anyone this time, so I chose to enter the mountain at midnight, and I didn't go through Shilitun, but went around the mountain from a distance, and it took us several hours to reorient ourselves." As for ......"

Ito paused for a moment and said, "As for the second question you said, I never thought about it. The ancestor didn't say it, he also arranged for people to lurk in the northeast. If anything, I think those people are no longer alive, after all, even the ancestors have been dead for ten years, let alone those who worked with him at the same time. ”

Ito's words are very credible, and judging from the photos, the youngest Ito Akikawa is also in his thirties. According to the way of normal thinking, even the youngest Ito Akikawa has been dead for more than ten years, can Takeo Takahashi and Old Man Sun, who are older than him, still survive? It is normal not to waste that time.

As for those spies lurking in the Northeast, most of them have quietly disappeared into the years, some of them have died without receiving any more orders, and no one knows their true identities except themselves, so there is no point in looking for those people.

But it was such a meaningless thing that made Ito lose a chance to get close to the truth, and also involved us in a fatal crisis.
