"This "Taketori Picture Scroll" turned out to be a grievance?! No wonder it's as good as new after nearly a thousand years......"

Hearing this, Sousuke Araki couldn't help but open his blindfold and take a serious look at the picture scroll spread out on the table through the gap.

During the "retreat and training", Hanyu Mai and Kobo naturally explained to him the common sense of "resentful things".

At this moment, in his left eye, this huge green scroll obviously did not have any abnormalities, and he could not even see a trace of resentment.

"This resentment is the result of the Mochizuki clan's thousands of years of obsession with the full moon in the night sky, and it will not absorb resentment like ordinary resentment. According to the texts, the only characteristic of this thing is that it actively absorbs 'soul dust'. ”

Glancing curiously at Sosuke Araki's blindfold, Koji Mochizuki explained softly.

"Soul dust? What's that? ”

Hearing this term that had not been taught in "retreat cultivation", Sosuke Araki leaned up behind Yuma Kotori and asked softly.

"It's normal that Mr. Araki hasn't heard of it...... Yes! ”

As soon as he turned around, he almost bumped into Sosuke Araki's face, and Kotori Yumako's small face instantly flushed, and his speech became choked.

"Soul dust is extremely rare, and it is said that it appears at the moment when a pure spirit lets go of its obsession and returns to reincarnation......

Halfway through her words, she looked at Sosuke Araki's eyes, and for some reason became a little resentful.

“…… White dots of light. ”

Soul dust only appears and dissipates within a few seconds of the pure spirit dissipating, and there is no way to preserve it so far.

Among the people in the audience, if you see this thing the most, it can only be the man in front of her.

Because, in this world where resentment is everywhere, the spirit body will be contaminated with resentment and incarnate into resentment after a little stay in the world.

Pure spirits often dissipate on their own at the moment of death, and are extremely difficult to find.

There is only one way to transform a vicious spirit into a pure spirit and to liberate it from rebirth......

Crossing into a Buddha.

“…… According to the oral records of the Mochizuki clan, when the Taketori Picture Scroll obtains enough soul dust, a hint will appear about the 'Mochizuki Secret Treasure' left behind by Kaguya-hime. ”

It didn't seem to pay attention to the two people who were biting their ears, and Koji Mochizuki still spoke unhurriedly.

"Among these 'Moon Gaze Secret Treasures', there may be clues to the place where the immortal elixir is sealed."

"Mochizuki Treasure? Dean Mochizuki, you just said that this is just an ominous legend, if ......"

Kengo Yamada stopped talking, as if he couldn't bear to extinguish the hope in the old man's heart.

If this scroll only absorbs soul dust, and the so-called Mochizuki Secret Treasure does not exist......

"I won't hide it from you, during the Heiankyo period, when the Mochizuki clan was at its peak, it took hundreds of years to collect soul dust and want to open the Taketori Picture Scroll."

"In the end, according to the clues that appeared on the Taketori scroll, our clan found a secret treasure of the Mochizuki clan. It is precisely by relying on the blessing of that ancestral treasure that Ayano can survive to this day in the form of a broken soul. ”

"What?! Could it be the red ......?"

In the ward, in Mochizuki Ayano's hand, the ruby-like conch appeared in everyone's minds.

"That's right, as long as you hold that secret treasure in your hand, no matter how much your soul or body hurt, it won't continue to deteriorate."

Koji Mochizuki paced back and forth on the tatami mat with his hands behind his back.

"After moving the capital to Tokyo, Emperor Meiji borrowed the Tale of Taketori from the Imperial Family to fight against the evil spirits of Heishomon, hoping to use the power of the Imperial Family to unlock the mysteries of it, and use those secret treasures as the eyes of the Feng Shui Suppression Array, so as to build the 'Three Great Formations of Tokyo'...... I don't know if the royal family eventually found the treasure or where it was hidden, but ......"

"As long as the Taketori Picture Scroll regains enough soul dust, it will inevitably redirect the whereabouts of the secret treasure."

Speaking of this, Yasuji Mochizuki seemed to recall something from the past, and he even choked up to speak......

"The soul dust is fleeting, and my Mochizuki clan has always withered, and I am not good at Buddhism to extradite resentful spirits to become Buddhas. When Ayano's parents were still alive, they also tried to extradite many spirits to become Buddhas, but they had little success and failed to meet the requirements of the Taketori Picture Scroll. ”

His frustration, except for a certain unscrupulous young man with a blank face, the three spirit slayers present were very understanding.

Whether it is encountering a spirit body that has just dissipated, or crossing a resentful spirit to become a Buddha, it is impossible for the soul to be removed.

The conditions for the opening of this "Taketori Picture Scroll" are so harsh.

"If you have this thing, why didn't you tell me a month ago and wait until today......"

For some reason, Ichiro Tokimoto's expression was a little uncertain, and his fist-clenched hands under the table trembled slightly.

"You also know Ayano's situation, in the past month, we have tried countless methods, but we have not been able to heal the wounds of her soul and awaken her consciousness......"

Koji Mochizuki gently rolled up the Taketori Picture Scroll on the table and carefully tied it up.

“…… If it weren't for the lack of help, how could I pin my hopes on this illusory 'elixir of immortality' that countless ancestors had not been able to crack. Your Soul Slayer's Guild is large and well-connected, and you may be able to muster the strength of all of you to activate this item. ”

"However, even if you want to obtain 'soul dust' in the Soul Slayer Association, it is ......"

Hearing the other party's words, Ichiro Shimoto's face became more and more stiff.

Within the Association of Soul Removers, there have been only a handful of recorded "Buddhahood" phenomena in the past few decades.

There is only one copy of the Taketori Picture Scroll, and it is extremely unrealistic to try to bring it over to wait for a pure spirit that does not necessarily appear before someone dies.

"Grandpa Mochizuki ......"

Before Ichiro could finish speaking, an arm full of tattoos had already held down the thick scroll in front of him.

"You can rest assured, provide enough white points of light to let this dissatisfied, unwanted, coarse thing spit out secrets, and leave it to us!"

Carrying the scroll on his shoulder, Sousuke Araki's eyes were full of fiery battle intent.

After seeing Mochizuki Lingno like that, he was full of helplessness and annoyance, and finally had an outlet.

The hope that is finally seen, even if it is illusory, is worth a try as long as there is a chance.

"That's right, since the ancestors of the Mochizuki clan were able to do it back then, everyone in the Spirit Killer Association must also be able to! What's more, we still have ......"

"Yes, even if I change into a dog again, I will work with my seniors to wake up the head of the Mochizuki Division."

It seems that he is infected by his emotions, and the expressions of Yuma Bow Kotori and Kengo Yamada are also full of confidence.

If ordinary soul slayers try to obtain a large amount of "soul dust", it can be described as time-consuming, laborious, and difficult.

However, in front of them, there is a man who can be called a "ruthless Buddha machine"!

On the night of Obon, the "meteor shower" in the night is still deeply imprinted in the minds of the two of them.

The thousands of points of light that streaked through the darkness were all "soul dust" that the Mochizuki clan had painstakingly collected for hundreds of years.

"Nice eyes, it's good to be young...... In that case, then this treasure should be kept by the Soul Destroyer Association for the time being. ”

Koji Mochizuki clasped his hands in front of him and bowed sincerely to the four of them: "Ayano's matter, please leave it to everyone, if you find anything, be sure to contact me at any time." I'm also in contact with top international medical institutions, and I'm continuing to think of ways to do it......"
