Chapter 91: The Firm Doesn't Think (Seeking Income, Seeking Push)

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the result is still the same, not to mention seeing a ghost, even if no one has seen one, and I don't know how it has become a suicide bridge that is widely circulated in a certain circle?

Is it because the place is remote and no one pays attention?

"Alright, don't stay on guard, let's go to the next place." Seeing this, Qin Heqing also lost his interest in eating the north wind with Kasumigaoka Shiyu and listening to the clanging of the tram, walked to Kasumigaoka's side and greeted.

"Damn!" Kasumigaoka is not a person who admits death, curses hatefully, turns around, and walks towards the subway station with the steps of six relatives who do not recognize him.

Since this can't be done here, naturally I can only run to the next place.

There was nothing to say about the process, but after about ten minutes, the two of them arrived at the main office in Sumida Ward.

"Zhiyukibori needed fishing gear, and I didn't prepare it, so I gave up. The body of the foot washing house is unknown, and I continue to give up. Tanuki can only be encountered on a full moon night, and both the deciduous bald spine and the tsu taiko drum require specific conditions to trigger...... It seems that we can only start with the reeds of the leaves. After a pause, Xia Zhiqiu beckoned to Qin and Qing, "Let's go, let's go to the Tibetan front bridge." ”

"What is a leafy reed?" Qin Heqing followed and asked.

For urban legends, Qin Heqing really doesn't know much.

At least not much is known about the city of Shinza and the urban legends outside of the Toshima district where he lives.

After all, his scope of activity is mainly in Shinza City and Toshima Ward. Coupled with the unreliability and antiquity of urban legends, as well as the impact of several actions according to urban legends without harvest, Qin Heqing gradually extinguished the idea of collecting urban legends and then following the clues of urban legends to find prey, just as it was some kind of folk knowledge, it was probably known, and there was no need to take it too seriously.

What's more, she still has Yue'er. When it comes to understanding the canonical nature of this kind of urban legend, it is estimated that no folklore expert can know better than Yue'er, who has awakened more than 400 years of age.

"Aren't you a priest? How could it not be known. Xia Zhiqiu glanced at Qin Heqing very unexpectedly, and said in surprise as if you were joking.

"I'm not omniscient, why should I know?" Qin Heqing asked helplessly.

He is a priest, but who said that the main duty of a priest is to subdue demons and exorcise demons? That's the work of the lower-level priests, that is, the onmyoji and the shrine maidens! The main task of the priest is to take care of the shrine, manage the logistics, and maintain the faith community, so as to achieve good communication with the believers, and ensure that the believers do not deviate from the faith, do not convert, and everything else is extra work!

So as a priest, it is completely understandable that he does not know these things.

I'm not a folklore scholar, so why do you know so much? When you encounter a situation, it is over.

"Because these are the foundation of your business, and I don't even know this, I really can't imagine how you passed the priesthood examination and became a full-fledged priest. Is it difficult to rely on relationships? Speaking of this, Kasumigaoka's eyes also became strange, as if looking at some kind of practitioner, full of scrutiny and strangeness.

"Uh...... Even so, it doesn't mean I have to know about them, does it? Qin Heqing was embarrassed and retorted with a strong face.

"Oh, I see, you're half-, no wonder you don't know these ancient legends." Xia Zhiqiu observed Qin Heqing for a moment with a smile, and then suddenly smiled, full of smugness that grabbed someone's pigtail.

The tone, of course, was contemptuous, to show her sudden rise in superiority.

"Say whatever you want." Qin Heqing was speechless, too lazy to talk to Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu, and responded casually, focusing on other places.

"Nothing more to say?" Kasumigaoka chuckled, "But forget it, who called me a beautiful person and so talented, I will be merciful to give you, a half-hung priest, a good explanation, the so-called leaf reed, does not refer to the reed or the leaf of the reed, but like the leaf of the reed, it is cut into flake flesh and blood!" ”

This legend originated in the Edo period, when the Honsho area was still an independent town office, and a beautiful woman named Akoma and a man named Ruzo lived in it. Ruzang loves Ah Ju very much, and wants to promote good things with Ah Ju once, but he is rejected by Ah Ju, and his attitude towards him is also very indifferent, so Ruzang holds a grudge, and finally one night, Ruzang attacked Ah Ju......"

The two chased and fled until they reached the Komashi Bridge at the entrance to the Sumida River, near the current Kuramae Bridge, where Ruzo killed Akoma and threw her hands and feet into slices of meat and threw them into the river...... This is where the leaf reed comes from. ”

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with ghosts or something, does it?" After hearing this, Qin Heqing couldn't help but hesitate.

Anyway, he didn't hear anything about ghosts.

"As far as the story itself is concerned, it really has nothing to do with ghosts, but which one of them can become an urban legend that is simple? So whether the story is related to the ghost or not, it doesn't prevent me from going there to witness the legend itself. Kasumigaoka replied without looking back.

In this regard, Qin and Qing could only say anything, and they could only follow the back of Kasumigaoka and move towards the Kuramae Bridge near the Sumida River.

Fortunately, the distance was not far, and in just ten minutes, the two arrived at the Tibetan front bridge-

Unlike the overpass that I saw before, which is rumored to be the bridge of suicide, although there are few people on this side of the bridge, it is not like the bridge of suicide, and there is not even a ghost shadow after half a day, but people pass by from time to time, so on the surface, it is difficult to associate it with supernatural events.

But as the saying goes, people can't be disguised, and even in the bustling Shinjuku area, there can be ghosts, and near the border area, why can't there be ghosts on the Kuramae Bridge in the river?

In addition, in terms of the environment, the Kuramae Bridge, which is crossed by a waterway, is easier to store ghosts than in the bustling urban area.

Cause?

Because according to ancient legends, the water leads to the Yellow Spring, which is the passage of the soul to the underworld or the spiritual world! Therefore, it may be difficult to see ghosts in other places, but near waterways, ghosts are really not particularly rare.

This is also the reason why whether it is ancient China or modern island countries, the lantern boat must be released in the river.

It's not just about fire prevention.

Then the two walked up to the Tibetan front bridge and came to the water-facing side of the bridge. Kasumigaoka took out his phone, turned on the video function, and took a picture of the reed-covered river in front of him.

"Ahh In an instant, Kasumigaoka screamed, and his body involuntarily fell backwards, and then his left foot mixed with the root of his right foot, and his body immediately lost its balance and fell down towards the bridge deck.

"Be careful!" Seeing this, Qin Heqing stretched out his hand and took Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu into his arms.

"Whew, I'm scared to death." Kasumigaoka gasped and whispered with a palpitating look.
