Shingo Narumi has been working as a teacher in a kenjutsu dojo for five or six years now.

The dojo where he works is connected by Ueno Sanshi, and it is definitely not the kind of for-profit dojo that teaches flowers.

That's where the real thing is taught.

In today's society, the two professions that use kendo the most are gangsters and policemen.

Although Narumi Shingo has a cold temperament, his swordsmanship is first-class strong, and although he has few words, he also does his best to teach his disciples, and over time, he naturally knows a lot of acquaintances.

There are police, and more of them are extreme thugs.

Most of the righteous are dog slaughterers, these extreme people, although they are not worthy of respect, but they worship the strong, and they still have great respect for Narumi Shingo, who has the status of master and apprentice.

So, with just a few phone calls, Shingo Narumi contacted a few trusted gangsters and asked them to do a little favor.

Go stir up the situation of the so-called "Arakawa Sect".

Evil people still have to be grinded by evil people, and it is common for gangsters to come to collect protection money, and it is very easy to take the opportunity to make trouble.

These people in the extreme path did not look down on unscrupulous churches that deceive money with rhetoric, but under the commission of Shingo Narumi, they hit it off and immediately agreed to find trouble with the Arakawa sect.

Of course, Shingo Narumi didn't expect a few Yakuza to disperse the sect, and that wasn't his purpose.

He wanted to see what the reaction of the Arakawa sect would be after being approached by trouble.

If it's just an ordinary sect of liars, the purpose is to collect money, then it's nothing, this kind of thing is willing to fight and suffer, even if he forcibly intervenes, some victims will hate him to the core, thinking that he is blocking the path of believing in the gods.

If this is the case, Narumi Shingo didn't plan to continue to take care of this matter, and his reputation was ruined, and there was no way to do it, and now it was not as good as it was then, and he didn't have the spare time to take care of this kind of idle business.

But... If this sect weren't that simple...

He is about to get involved and steal the name of a god, but the plan is far away.

They... What do you want to do in the name of the Lord of Arakawa?

This is something that Narumi Shingo wants to figure out, and now, he plans to touch the bottom of this sect first, and then deal with it.

If you have to...

The sea country in his hand is not incapable of killing!

On the other side, the car driven by Mitsushi Ueno stopped at the entrance of the Baiwenkan.

Uesugi Kiyoshi pushed the door and entered, and saw Li Fuyao curled up in a chair and dozing off.

In her sleep, she seemed to have taken off her guard and everything that was often hung on her face with indifference, and became more like an ordinary sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, with a gently wrinkled brow that looked cute, like a resting kitten.

However, after hearing the footsteps, the kitten opened its eyes alertly, and after seeing Uesugi Kiyoshi's face, there was a little sleepiness in his eyes.

She said lazily, "Why is it so early today?" ”

Without waiting for Uesugi Kiyoshi to answer, she quickly nodded and asked herself.

"Oh yes, you're going to do something today, investigate this rain, what? Having trouble? ”

Uesugi Kiyoshi shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, "It's okay, the agents of the Collectibles Association are quite capable, the information is very useful, there are a lot of suspicious points, just check them one by one." ”

"I'm not here for this - Fuyao, do you have any research on the [gods]?"

For this question, Li Fuyao does not seem to be surprised.

"Qing, you have to understand one thing, all the [transcendental] in this world is based on the strength of the spiritual level, or more thoroughly, whether it is extraordinary or not, it is the difference in the soul, even if it is a martial arts practitioner who is good at physical strength, he must also drive extraordinary power with faith and feed back the strength of the body."

"So it is with the gods."

"There were no gods in this world, but when the awe and worship of a transcendent person reached a limit, their dream mirror world underwent a mutation, breaking through the barrier of [humans], and their vision became very high, and many people's dream mirrors, in their eyes, turned into stars, encompassing the entire dream mirror world of all living beings, and became the sea of stars in his heart."

"And through faith, many star-like dream mirrors are connected to a person, and the mixed supernatural power is gathered, refined and purified by him, and turned into a power with a higher level than the ordinary supernatural power - that power is called [divine power]."

"This is the origin of the original gods, especially in Japan, everything can be gods, there is also a certain reason, as long as there are people who believe in it, then the gods will last forever, the famous daimyo in history, emperors, military generals, ghosts in the mountains and wilderness, and even unique weather phenomena, after being sacrificed and worshiped by humans, can also give birth to the rudiments of gods."

Li Fuyao lightly covered his lips, yawned, his eyes were leisurely, and his words meant something.

"Gods, not necessarily how strong they are, but they basically have difficult means."

"The Tozhao Shenjun who was beheaded by you and the sword that day, after all, he became a god in the body of a human being, before he was enshrined as the great power of Tozhao, his strength was average, his level was limited, but he existed as a leader, his means were shallow, and he couldn't even understand the body of a god, and he was killed by you with one sword, and it was also his fate."

"But not all gods are weak like that."

"Oh... By the way, the linkers among the transcendentals, in fact, even if they are the prototypes of the gods, the source of their abilities is similar to faith and the like, so I don't recommend that you link the heroic soul, even if it will temporarily improve your strength. ”

"Qing, only its own strength... It's really powerful. ”

If Uesugi Kiyoshi is not mistaken, this is the second time Li Fuyao has said this.

He nodded thoughtfully, this trip was not in vain, now the concept of gods had taken shape in his mind.

Gathering faith and turning it into strength is not necessarily the strong, but they all have difficult means.

That sounds like nothing.

The indifferent reverence for the gods in Uesugi Kiyoshi's heart has completely vanished.

He glanced at the clock on the wall, and Uesugi Kiyoshi's heart moved, and he suddenly said, "I'm going to go shopping around Arakawa District, do you want to go along?" ”

Li Fuyao's eyebrows immediately bent, with a somewhat ambiguous smile on his face, and said softly: "Ah, is this a date invitation?" It's so sudden~"

Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled bitterly and wanted to say something, but unfortunately he was blocked back again.

"I'd love to say yes, but not today."

"My mom came to Tokyo from Kyoto to see me, I haven't been with her for a few days, he is going back to Kyoto this afternoon, I have to have a meal with her at noon, I don't have time today."

After giving an understated reason, Li Fuyao flipped through the desk a few times, took out a simple and old thread-bound manuscript, and handed it to Uesugi Kiyoshi.

"No, this is compensation."

"You're not looking for some Genji Sanjie?"

"This book should help you."

On the cover of the book, you can faintly see a few faint handwriting.

The Tale of Edo Genji.
