Chapter 280: Curse

"Cloud Island Shrine?" Otome Sakagami also joked, "Didn't the demon god break the seal and then destroy the Cloud Island Shrine?" ”

Get...

Kimura and Kiki were silent, apparently the whole village knew about it. And it's all a joke about feudal superstition.

Seeing that Kazuki Kimura and Grandpa Kamo were speechless, Otome Sakagami thought he had said the wrong thing, so he couldn't help but stick out his tongue, he put the food on the table, wiped his apron with his hand, and said carefully, "Actually, there is a legend at Yundao Shrine, do you want to hear it?" ”

"What legend?" Kimura and Kiki opened his mouth and asked, since Sakagami Village knows about this matter and treats it as a joke, then maybe Sakagami Village knows other things, and now that Sakagami Otome speaks, he can't help but be curious.

While eating, He Maosheng also looked at it curiously. He hadn't eaten since noon and was already hungry.

"I heard that the thing that seals the demon god seems to be called the Jade of the Four Souls."

Hearing the jade of the four souls, He Maosheng's hand holding the chopsticks couldn't help but pause, and then continued to eat. It's just that he doesn't turn on the light to eat, and he's really a little unused to it.

And Kimura and Kiki squinted, he looked at Sakagami Otome, saw the other party thinking, and then thought of something, Sakagami Otome continued to speak, "This is what my grandfather told me, but grandpa passed away a few years ago, and grandma should know a little about this." ”

"The Jade of the Four Souls, there is indeed this legend." Grandma Sakagami pondered for a while and said, "According to legend, the so-called four souls of the Jade of the Four Souls are the Lucky Soul, the Harmony Soul, the Desolate Soul and the Strange Soul, which represent love, kinship, courage and wisdom. If the Jade of the Four Souls falls into the hands of bad people, it will become an evil spirit and a resentful spirit. If it is in the hands of a good person, both the body and the spirit will be purified. ”

Lucky souls, harmonious souls, desolate souls and strange souls?

When Kazuki Kimura heard these words, he thought about it for a while, and knew that this was another name for the Three Souls and Seven Spirits in ancient Japan. In other words, this is the name of the witch who turned into the jade of the four souls for the soul.

And the three souls and seven spirits are the saying of Chinese Taoism, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is normal that Japan did not know in ancient times.

"The Jade of the Four Souls is a legendary thing, and we haven't seen it either. However, our ancestors got this thing at the beginning, and used the jade of the four souls to suppress the demon god. I heard that if you get the Jade of the Four Souls, all the ghosts and spirits will not be able to get close, and if you wear it for a long time, you can purify the soul and improve your physique. Grandma Sakagami said, and couldn't help laughing, "Of course, these are legends, and they can't be true." ”

"I can't take it seriously." Otome Sakagami smiled, "The reason why this legend is spread is actually because the people in the village don't want to rebuild the shrine. ”

Hearing this, Kamo Sheng and Kazuki Kimura suddenly became stunned.

No wonder the Cloud Island Shrine was destroyed and not rebuilt for a year, it turned out that someone from Sakagami Village didn't want to pay, so he took this legend to warn the people of Sakagami Village. If the shrine is rebuilt, disaster may befall you. In addition, many people don't want to rebuild the Cloud Island Shrine at all, so they simply follow this legend.

It is impossible to pay money, and you can only rely on horror legends to intimidate everyone and maintain the status quo. After a long time, those who want to repair the Cloud Island Shrine will probably lose this kind of thought.

After all, the Cloud Island Shrine did not contribute anything to Sakagami Village, and each generation had to select some people from the village to act as onmyoji and shrine maidens, which made many parents who expected their children to be successful resentful. It's just that because of the ancestral teachings, they have not violated them.

"Are there any other legends?" Kazuki Kimura smiled, and when he saw Grandma Sakagami and Otome, he smiled, "I'm interested in this kind of story." ”

Otome Sakagami racked her brains and meditated, and finally said in disappointment, "No." I only know that the jade of the four souls is used to suppress the demon god, and the Yundao Shrine is in charge of the jade of the four souls, but many people in the village have been to the Yundao Shrine before, and they have not found any jade of the four souls, so it is estimated that someone made up this story. ”

No wonder there are signs of turning inside the Cloud Island Shrine.

"It must be a lie." Grandma Sakagami glanced at her granddaughter, "How can there be a jade of the four souls in this world." ”

Otome Sakagami stuck out her tongue, and she looked at Kimura and Shumichi, "Kimura-kun, I'll give you a bag, and you can bring the food to Haruo." ”

"I'm tired." Kazuki Kimura smiled slightly, "We'll pay." ”

"What kind of money do you want?" Grandma Sakagami waved her hand, "If you want to give money, I'll drive people out." ”

"This..."

"Yes, it's just some ordinary dishes, if you give money, you look down on us." Otome Sakagami also feigned anger.

In the end, Kazuki Kimura and Kamo Sei wanted to pay the money to the unpaid, and after saying goodbye to Grandma Sakagami and Otome, they rushed to the Unjima Shrine.

When Otome Sakagami couldn't see the backs of the two, she turned her head to look at her grandmother, "Grandma, do you think they can find the Jade of the Four Souls?" ”

"I don't know," Grandma Sakagami mused, "but these two people came to investigate the Cloud Island Shrine, and they are definitely not ordinary people. We have all revealed this, these people will stop if they don't find the Jade of the Four Souls? ”

"We should reveal more information, I remember that the Jade of the Four Souls is in the waterhole in the tunnel... If they don't look into the waterholes, won't they get nothing? ”

Grandma Sakagami was speechless, "Do you think they are idiots?" If we say more, we may be suspected, after all, in their eyes, we are just ordinary people. That boy didn't seem to believe us very much. ”

"Do ordinary people have evening activities?" Otome Sakagami muttered, "We're active at night again, and we're sucking blood for a living, isn't that exactly the same as the vampire in the movie?" ”

"I wish we were vampires and lived longer." Grandma Sakagami sighed and said, "Your grandfather died of old age, and I don't think I have a few years left." ”

Speaking of this, Grandma Sakagami continued to speak, "Otome, you continue to go to the village chief's house and ask the village chief if he is ready." ”

"Okay." Otome Sakagami responded, she was just about to go to the village chief's house, but she met Kimura and Shu on the way, and took the two home.

Grandma Sakagami looked at Otome Sakagami with relief, but she didn't notice that a red light flashed in the depths of Sakagami Otome's eyes with her back to her.

After Otome Sakagami left, Grandma Sakagami looked at the starry sky outside the door, sighed, and was silent in her heart.

Although the starry sky is beautiful, the light is what ordinary people yearn for. The curse of Sakagami Village, it's time to unravel. Otherwise, Sakagami Village will be found to be strange sooner or later, and then it will be the time to destroy the village.

I hope those two can take the jade of the four souls away.
