Chapter 271: Takigawa

Seeing that the figure of the bone girl on the opposite side was frozen, Yanai Katsuto took out the bowl from the cloth bag on his waist again, and then raised his hand to throw it at the bone girl, and the bowl immediately flew forward quickly out of his hand, and then stayed firmly on the top of the bone girl's head, emitting a faint golden light to cover it.

"Ah......h

After being covered by the golden light, Pear felt like the bones of her whole body were on fire, although she seemed to resist, but her whole body did not have a trace of strength, and she could only silently bear the pain of this burn.

Seeing that the bone girl who was shrouded in the golden light of the bowl had slowly stopped struggling, Yanai Katsuto quickly pinched the nine seals with both hands, and then pointed at the bowl hovering in mid-air.

"Receive"

As Yanai Katsuto's words fell, the figure of the bone girl who was illuminated by the golden light began to slowly become smaller, and then floated towards the bowl hovering in mid-air, until it was absorbed into the bowl and the entire golden light slowly dissipated.

Li Yan Tourmaline, who was standing at the back of the alley and had been watching the situation inside, his eyes flashed when he saw Yanai Katsuto take out the bowl and take the bone girl in, obviously he didn't expect that such an inconspicuous begging bowl was actually a magic weapon to subdue demons.

"Little monk Liujing, I didn't expect that there are some good things in your small temple, in my opinion, this bowl is at least a high-grade magic weapon, such good things will not be available in ordinary big temples, I didn't expect your small temple to have it in your hands, it is really a treasure hidden in the mountains." ”

Liu Jing Katsuto, who had just put away the bowl, heard the slight sourness in Li Yan's words behind him, and said with a rare smile on his face: "Amitabha, Li Yan's donor has won the award, although the temple where the little monk is located is smaller, but the inheritance is not short, it has been more than three hundred years. ”

"Compared to ordinary temples. It's also a temple with a long heritage, isn't it normal for such an ancient temple to have one or two magic artifacts?"

"If you are a donor of Li Yan, you can come to our temple to become a monk, Li Yan donor does not have to worry about the relationship of family inheritance, our temple belongs to the Pure Land Sect, and as a monk, it is not forbidden to marry a wife. As long as you are willing to marry several wives. ”

"And as long as you come to our temple to become a monk, the little monk promises to ask for a companion magic weapon from the master for the Li Yan donor, what do you think of such a generous condition?"

Of course it's not good, don't say anything else, just say that as the young master of the Li Yan family, if you let your family know that you have the idea of escaping into the empty door, your father will abolish himself, let alone marry a wife at that time. Even if you give birth to a son directly, it's useless.

Regarding the temptation of this little monk Liujing, Li Yan Tourmaline replied angrily: "Although I am more enthusiastic about the magic weapon, I will not sell myself into it, so even if I become a monk, I still don't want to pay attention to it anymore." ”

Hearing Li Yan Tourmaline's direct refusal, Yanai Katsuto recited 'Amitabha' with a little pity, and then stopped mentioning this matter, because he knew that it was enough to point something. He still understands this truth.

"Master Li Yan, what do you think this bone girl should do?"

Asked about the topic that shifted just now. Yanai Katsuto took the bowl containing the bone girl in his hand and asked Li Yan Tourmaline.

Glancing at the bowl held in Yanai Katsuto's left hand, Li Yan Tourmaline said coldly: "Such a weak ghost thing is of no use to me at all, so it's better to leave it to you, a little monk, to take back and slowly cross." ”

"Amitabha, since this is the case, the little monk will have full power to make the decision, and strive to transform this poor woman in her life. ”

Since the two passers-by went out. Horita Bozo has been fidgeting in the house, walking back and forth in the house from time to time.

Horita was a little worried about the safety of the two guests, for fear that the corpses of the two would be found in an alley in the village the next morning, if that would be the case, he would be guilty of sin, and most importantly, if he would get into some trouble because of it. That's not good.

"It's really my fault, why did I let the two guests go out......?

"Knock Knock"

Just when Horita Fangsan was secretly complaining, a knock on the door came into his ears, and he suddenly woke up, and then quickly ran out of the door and ran towards the courtyard door, but he stopped again just before coming to the courtyard gate, and asked uncertainly in a somewhat trembling voice: "Are the two guests back?"

"Yes, Horita-san, please open the door. ”

Hearing this familiar voice, Horitabo Sancai put aside the scruples in his heart, and hurriedly pulled the latch on the gate open, and then let Li Yan Tourmaline and Yanai Katsuto in.

Seeing that the two passers-by were safe and sound, Horita Fangsan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and after closing the courtyard door, he couldn't wait to return to the house, so he hurriedly asked the two in the courtyard: "The two guests haven't met the harmful ghost? If they haven't met, don't go out again, after all, this ghost is not so easy to surrender, and it would be bad if you lose your life." ”

Looking at the worried Horita Fangsan, Yanai Katsuto replied with a smile: "Amitabha, thank you Horita donor for worrying about it, but the two little monks have already subdued the ghost thing, and there will be no more ghost harm incidents in this soup village in the future, and the villagers don't have to hide at home anymore and dare not go out, everyone can come out with confidence." ”

The murderous ghost has been subdued by the two in front of him, this little monk's words made Horita Fangzo muttered a little in his heart, he didn't believe that such a powerful ghost thing could be subdued so easily, and the people who were subdued were still two young people, which made him a little suspicious.

Seeing the suspicion on Horita's face, Yanai Katsuto smiled slightly and didn't explain, because he believed that the other party would see that what he said was true or false in the future, and it was useless to say more now, and everything was to speak with facts.

And Horita Fangzo on the side saw the expression on Yanai Katsuto's face and didn't continue to ask, after all, in his heart, as long as these two passers-by returned safely, the rest didn't matter.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Yanai Katsu and Li Yan Tourmaline said goodbye to Horita Fangzo and soon left Tang Village.

For Li Yan Tourmaline and Yanai Katsuto, this soup village is just a point in the journey. It doesn't mean anything important to the two of them, so they don't stay too long.

Because there is no fixed destination, Yanai Katsu and Li Yan Tourmaline are where they go, plus both of them are a little road blind, so the two often sleep in the wild, this time the two came out of the soup village. Just slept in the wild for two nights.

However, fortunately, the population of Japan is still very dense, and on the third day, Yanai Katsu and Li Yan Tourmaline met passers-by, and asked each other about the nearest village to find a new way forward.

The sun on the horizon gradually disappeared into the horizon, and the moon, which dominated the night, slowly revealed.

Yanai Katsuto held a bowl in one hand and pointed to the big river in the distance with the other, and then asked Li Yan Tourmaline beside him, "The river in front should be Takigawa." ”

Faced with Yanai Katsuto's question, the response was only a cold nasal voice.

"Hmm"

For Li Yan Tourmaline's short answer, Yanai Katsuto was very accustomed to it along the way, so he didn't care too much. He continued: "According to the words of the two of us who met that fellow during the day, the only bridge in the vicinity is the 'Jiusheng Bridge'. ”

"If we want to cross this Takigawa River to reach Yoshino Village on the other side, we can only walk here as the nearest one, but this Kusho Bridge doesn't seem to be very peaceful, and I heard that fellow said that people often die here, should we go and make preparations?"

After finishing speaking, Yanai Katsuto looked at Li Yan Tourmaline, waiting for the other party to give an answer.

"It's just a bridge, what a powerful ghost can be. I guess there's just some azuki bean washing here at most, Hashihime. This kind of ghost and spirit is haunting, and the sky is just a big shrimp toad, is it possible that in this freshwater river, there can still be a difficult sea ghost like Wushou?"

"Now it's rare for the two of us to meet a bridge ghost here, such a good whetstone must be used well, and you won't do it for a while. Let me do it. ”

(Azuki washi, also known as "shodo-tao", is a type of yokai that appears by the river and makes a sound like washing azuki beans in Japanese legend.) According to legend. This kind of youkai can usually be found in valleys such as by streams and under bridges, and usually hides in dark places, pushing and pulling passers-by into the water when they are not looking, and then eating people, which is considered a kind of water spirit. )

(The Japanese word for "Hashihime" is used to refer to prostitutes standing by bridges and teahouses near the bridges, in addition to referring specifically to the goddess of the bridges.) )

(Because Hashihime is very famous among the people, so there are many legends about Hashihime in Japan, depending on the region, the content of the legend is also different, among which there are three versions that are more legendary, the first is also a widely spread saying, that is, once upon a time, there was a couple living on the shore of the Uji River, one day, the husband suddenly said that he was going to the Dragon Palace, left home and never came back, the wife died of grief excessively, turned into a ghost and appeared on the bridge, and waited for her husband to return every day on the bridge, after a long time, some passers-by knew about the woman, and gradually became.) 'Ujibashi Hime')

(The second type of legend about Hashihime is that Hashihime was a monster after her death because she couldn't get the love of the man she loved because of her ugly face, or a woman who committed suicide by throwing herself into a river on the bridge because she was forcibly robbed of her love by others.) Because of the resentment before her death, when a man, especially the type of man she liked in front of her, passed by here at night, she would appear on the bridge, use all kinds of charming methods to seduce the man, and then lure him into the water to drown; )

(The third story is that Hashihime was an extremely jealous woman before her death, and every time there was a woman who was more beautiful than herself, she would be jealous, and she wanted to curse the other party to death for the object of her jealousy, so she would make the object of her jealousy into a straw man every night, soak it in water and perform a curse ritual, and finally become a demon after death because of excessive jealousy, and whenever she sees a beautiful woman, she will bring misfortune to the other party.) )

(The prawn toad, according to legend, lived in the mountains of Iwakuni [now Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi Prefecture] of Zhou Fangguo, as well as some turbulent rivers and waterfalls, its body length is about two meters and four, and it can constantly spit out red gas in its mouth, and birds and insects that come into contact with red gas will be sucked into its mouth, and it will even devour snakes in summer.) In some Japanese illustrations, the prawn toad is depicted by the Japanese as a spirit with a spear in its hand, representing the theory that it will attack humans with a spear, and because it is the largest in the Zhou Defense Kingdom, the Japanese also call it the 'Zhou Fang Prawn Toad'. )

(Maishou, whose main body is said to be a youkai that has been cut off by three samurai themselves, is a very fierce spirit that can spit fire and stir up turbulent waves at sea, and attack passing ships, destroying them and devouring the living.) )

As for Li Yan Tourmaline's words, Yanai Katsuto thought for a while It is really like this, in their Japan, as long as they scrape the edge of the bridge to get ghosts, there is nothing too powerful, these ghosts can only harm ordinary passers-by, and there is not much threat to cultivators like them at all.

Moreover, Li Yan Tourmaline also knew that for a long time, the cultivator world had always used these bridge ghosts and spirits as a whetstone to increase the experience of future generations, because this kind of water ghost spirits were usually inseparable from the scope of the bridge.

It is precisely because of this that these types of bridge ghosts and spirits like earthbound spirits have become whetstones that are very suitable for those who have just gone out to practice.

Because of the habit of using bridge ghosts to sharpen future generations in the cultivator world, for a long time, water ghosts such as Nihonbashi Hime, water ghosts, and Shodou Wash were almost killed and touched.

Thinking of this, Yanai Katsuto no longer bothered about whether to prepare, but just said to Li Yan Tourmaline with words of advice: "Master Li Yan, if the ghost on the other side is not too vicious, please let it live, after all, it is difficult for ghosts to survive in such an environment now." ”

Listening to the words of Liu Jing Shengren beside him, Li Yan Tourmaline slowed down for a while and replied: "It depends on the strength of the ghost thing, if the strength of the ghost thing is not bad, then I will accept it, if it is a waste, then leave it to the little monk to take it back to the temple and slowly cross it."
