Chapter 309: Two Lantern Ghosts

The big ship is still moving slowly, on the vast and boundless sea.

The Dream Eater Tapir had summoned the owner of the sea and Yingcao to the ship, and a group of people were sitting around the deck, with food and wine taken out of the cabin in the middle.

Now that it's close to sunrise, it's better to sit on the deck and watch the sunrise.

Moreover, the space in the cabin is a little cramped, and if so many people stay inside, it is somewhat crowded.

"Did you buy all these monsters?"

Tanaka Yuzuki looked at the bunch of monsters around him, his face was full of surprise, and when he asked Chen Beibei, he couldn't help but show a trace of admiration.

After all, just now, the Dream Eater Tapir and the Haifang Master were both called Chen Beibei's masters.

"Well, it's just some ordinary little monsters......"

Chen Beibei said perfunctorily.

Ordinary people have always had a very mysterious feeling about youkai, and there is also a sense of fear.

Chen Beibei didn't want to talk too much with them on this topic.

After all, ordinary people and youkai would not have had much to do with each other in the first place.

"I'm so envious......"

Ah Yi looked at Guan Hu and Xue Nu behind Chen Beibei, and said with an obsessive expression.

"Where are you going now?"

Chen Beibei looked at Tanaka Muyu and asked him.

At this time, the Guhou Bird was still following the big ship, which also means that the Gu Bird had not yet discovered the location of the He Mao Ancestral Temple.

"We, O we, have been looking for Prajna? Before, we heard that Pranya had killed a few women in Sakura Castle, so we went to Sakura Castle. But after all, we still haven't encountered Prajna, and now we are going to a place called Suzaku Forest......"

Ah Yi looked at Chen Beibei and hurriedly replied.

"Suzaku Forest?"

Chen Beibei asked.

"You may not know the name, but if you talk about the famous Heiankyo and Rashomon, you must be familiar with it, right?"

Ah Yi continued.

"Well, but is there anything between the two?"

Chen Beibei asked.

Heiankyo was actually a capital city that fused Fuso and Chinese architectural styles, and it was also the most prosperous capital city at that time.

Basically, many people have heard of the name Heiankyo, and Rashomon's fame is basically on par with Heiankyo.

At least after Kurosawa adapted Ryunosuke Akutagawa's short story Rashomon into a movie, the name has spread to almost every country.

However, Suzaku Forest is a name that I have never heard of at all, and it is not even certain whether it is real. Chen Beibei really has no way to associate this name with Heianjing and Rashomon.

"Heiankyo is divided into two halves by Suzaku Avenue, and Rashomon is a castle gate at the end of Suzaku Avenue, also known as Rajomon. There are legends about ghosts and monsters that often appear in the vicinity of Rashomon, and the famous Ibaraki boy is known as the oni of Rashomon......"

Ah Yi seems to like these things about ghost legends and the like, so when he talks about these things, he basically shows a very yearning for them.

"Ibaraki Boy? But the Ibaraki boy should have disappeared completely in the retreat of the great rivers and mountains. ”

Chen Beibei said with some doubts.

Ibaraki Boy is a subordinate of the ghost king of the Great River and Mountain, and the legend about him is only before the Great River Mountain retreats.

After that, it seems to have disappeared.

The end of the legend of the Ibaraki boy did not end with his death, but like a butterfly flying in the air, it suddenly disappeared from people's sight.

"Ibaraki Boy has disappeared, but a fortune teller has recently calculated that Ibaraki Boy will appear in the Suzaku Forest. And it is said that Prajna and the Wine-Swallowing Boy will also appear there......"

Ah Yi said mysteriously, and his voice was as low as possible, but Tanaka Muyu on the side seemed to be a little dissatisfied with this, and the expression on his face was not very happy.

"Ahem, Ah Yi!"

Tanaka Muyu interrupted Aichi's words, obviously, not wanting them to continue.

"Ah, Boss, I'm sorry...... It's too much to say at once......"

Ah Yi scratched his head and quickly apologized.

"These monsters aren't something you ordinary people can get close to. If what you say is true, then ...... You should give up looking for Prajna. Even if you are obsessed, you are just obsessed with what you imagine to be......"

Chen Beibei looked at Tanaka Muyu and Ah Yi and said seriously.

Since Tanaka Muyu and the others can go to the Charm Auction, it is entirely possible to meet someone like a fortune teller. This does not completely negate the truth of what they say.

"Well, we got it, thanks for the reminder."

Tanaka Muyu looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.

"However, you still haven't told me about the origin of the Suzaku Forest......

Chen Beibei looked at Tanaka Muyu and said slowly.

At this time, Chen Beibei naturally wanted to know where that place was.

"It's just that in an ordinary forest, a huge, ancient stone gate has appeared. People called that stone gate Rashomon, and the forest was named Suzaku Forest...... It's just a rumor from a few people......"

Tanaka Muyu saw that Chen Beibei had already asked here, so he had no choice but to answer.

"I see."

Chen Beibei nodded, and did not pursue this topic deeply, after all, Tanaka Muyu probably didn't want to continue to talk about this, probably wanting to get such information from the hands of the soothsayer, and the payment should be very expensive.

……

"Goo-goo-goo......"

The sun slowly rises over the sea level, and the sunlight glows with a dazzling golden light.

There were a few eager calls from the big bird, as if trying to convey some meaning.

Chen Beibei and the others hurriedly ran to the side of the boat, while the mountain hare stood on top of the head of the demon frog, and everyone looked into the distance together.

"Land!"

There was some excitement in the hare's voice.

At this moment, in the place where the sun is rising, a turquoise continent faintly appears.

To be precise, it should be said that it is more accurate to say that it is an island.

Because the edge of this continent seems to be a little narrow at such a distance.

At this time, Gu Huoniao accelerated his flight speed and flew towards the island first, which also means that that island may be the location of the ancestral shrine of He Mao.

"Mr. Tanaka Kiyu, there is an island over there, we plan to disembark there, I don't know...... Can you dock the boat there for a moment? ”

Chen Beibei pointed to the faintly appearing edge of the land over there and said to Tanaka Muyu.

"Well, of course."

After Tanaka Muyu finished speaking, Ah Yi ran to the cockpit to convey the instructions.

Obviously, Ah Yi still has some good feelings for Chen Beibei, or a sense of awe, after all, human beings are often like this when it comes to things they are not familiar with.

Under the sun, Tanaka Muyu's body was still the same pale as when they first met, and there was no trace of blood at all.

In addition, Tanaka Muyu is wearing a thin white dress, which makes people feel that Tanaka Muyu seems to be an extremely weak patient.

"Your body rarely touches the sun, right?"

Chen Beibei looked at Tanaka Muyu and asked him.

When the sun rose, Tanaka Muyu had been deliberately sitting in a dark place, even when Chen Beibei pointed out to him the location of the island just now, Tanaka Muyu only used his arm to cover the not very strong sun, and hurriedly glanced at it.

Chen Beibei came to this conclusion, in fact, it is not just because of this.

But......

Last night, Chen Beibei couldn't let go of the fact that the magic frog said something under the deck.

So let the Dream Eater Tapir sneak down and take a look.

Under the deck, there is actually a compartment, and below the top deck, there is another deck that is very watertight. So even if there are obvious gaps in the top deck, the ship can still sail the sea unharmed.

This multi-faceted approach resulted in an extra compartment below deck.

The dream-eating tapir found in this compartment, an ice coffin with a woman's corpse lying down, as well as a woman's clothes and shoes......

"Well, because I have special skin, I can't stay in the sun for a long time. So I just don't walk around much outside. ”

Tanaka Muyu looked at Chen Beibei and replied to him.

In fact, until now, Chen Beibei's impression of Tanaka Muyu is still good. A man who is obsessed with finding Prajna and has paid a huge amount of money for it. So much so that his original life of worry-free food and clothing has become so depressed now.

And there is another point, that is, this man does not seem to have the slightest pity for his life.

"It's about a minute or two away from that island now, and then we'll be completely separated, and before that, I want to know something."

Chen Beibei looked at Tanaka Muyu and said with a serious expression.

Below the deck was an ice coffin with a female corpse lying down, which must have been designed in advance. In other words, this strange black ship was deliberately designed to look like this because of the female corpse.

Otherwise, no one would do such an extra thing, and if there is a deliberately gap in the deck, it will undoubtedly leave a safety hazard for the ship's navigation.

Tanaka Muyu looked at Chen Beibei's serious appearance and froze slightly, but he quickly recovered to a calm and breezy appearance: "What do you want to know?" ”

"Below deck...... That female corpse, the story about her should be complicated, right? ”

Chen Beibei looked at Tanaka Muyu, looked directly at him, and said slowly.

……

The clouds floated leisurely, blocking the rising sun, and the light suddenly dimmed, and there was only the sound of the waves in my ears.

There was silence for a while.

However, at this moment, in Chen Beibei's feelings, it seemed very long, and it should be the same for Tanaka Muyu and his subordinates.

"Wei Aya......

Tanaka Muyu leaned against the hull of the boat, and his body, which originally looked sick and weak, seemed to have become even weaker, and when he pronounced these two words, a touch of sadness appeared on his face.

"Mr. Tanaka,......"

"Boss ,......"

Several of his subordinates walked towards Tanaka Muyu, their faces full of concern and worry.

"It's okay, get me a bottle of bar."

Tanaka Muyu slowly slid down the deck along the hull of the boat, then took the wine handed over by Ah Yi, and began to tell the story about the female corpse in the ice coffin.

Wei Aya was born in a relatively wealthy family, which allowed her to have an extremely happy childhood, and her mother's kindness and gentleness also made Wei Aya gradually grow into a loving girl.

Sixteen or seventeen-year-old Wei Aya, like every girl, longs for love, even if she doesn't have the urge to find her beloved immediately, but the fantasy of love will still appear in her mind from time to time.

If the time is quiet, Wei Aya will naturally meet the man who belongs to her, and then enter into marriage and live an ordinary life.

It's just, if after all, it's just if.

In one night.

When Wei Aya went downstairs to take out the garbage alone, a drunk gangster happened to pass by Wei Aya, perhaps Wei Aya had just finished taking a shower, and the scent of toiletries emanating from her body attracted the attention of the drunken gangster.

Wei Aya was forcibly pulled to a no-man's land......"

When Tanaka Muyu said this, he took a sip of wine fiercely, and the expression on his face was very complicated, with anger and remorse.

"Mr. Tanaka,......"

The subordinates on the side had unbearable expressions on their faces, obviously, they still respected Tanaka Muyu.

"It's fine."

Tanaka Muyu waved his hand, put the wine bottle aside, and continued.

"Wei Aya is just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, and there is no way to break free from the shackles of an adult man.

Mixed with humiliation and tears, everything is like a dream.

After the drunken gangster finished venting, he left alone, leaving Wei Aya alone......"

The big ship was moving slowly, and the islands in the distance were becoming clearer and clearer, but there should still be more than ten minutes to sail from the shore.

This kind of thing.

It happens everywhere, and it's very common, Chen Beibei still doesn't know what the relationship between Tanaka Muyu and Wei Aya is at the moment, so he didn't interject.

If it's just like this, Wei Aya may still be able to live a bearable life, and even bury this matter deep in her heart.

The trauma that has been experienced makes time lick quietly.

I may cry alone when I think about it later, but as long as I am numb, I should still be able to live a peaceful life.

Wei Aya did exactly that.

She chose to remain silent.

After all, if she said this, her parents would also be shrouded in darkness, and that drunken gangster might pay the price.

But so what? ”

As the sun gradually rose, the angle of sunlight changed, and a ray of light shone on Tanaka Muyu's face.

Tanaka stopped talking briefly.

After coughing a few times, he then supported himself with his hands, moved his body, and changed to a place where the sun could not shine directly...... Baidu take a look at the latest chapter of "Onmyoji's Style God Don't Cry Jiezhong Literature" for free reading for the first time.
