Chapter 372: Yoshiwara Islands
Quiet nights.
Everyone had a good night's sleep, and when they woke up the next day, Sister Hopping was still asleep, with this shallow smile on the corner of her mouth.
Hopping sister is dangerous.
However, in most cases, this is not the case.
After all, Sister Hopping herself didn't want to attack humans, she didn't want to do this, but her body would be like this.
In a word.
When Sister Hopping is normal, she is still a very cute little zombie.
"Wake up, everyone, let's continue on our way."
Chen Beibei looked at the Shi Gods who were still asleep and said to them.
It is not yet dawn, and Chen Beibei is already planning to leave Moyun Village, one is to be able to reach Jiyuan Island as soon as possible, and the second is because although there are few people in Moyun Village, there are still some people. Chen Beibei was worried that his sister would not be able to control herself.
"Master, it's so early......"
Yingcao rubbed her eyes and woke up, and said sleepily.
The remaining stars can still be seen in the sky, of course, it is more darkness, so it is difficult for everyone to wake up directly after waking up.
"Well, it's a little early, but we still have to get to Yoshiwara Island as soon as possible, because there is the most beautiful singer there."
Chen Beibei looked at Yingcao and said slowly.
For Ah Li.
Chen Beibei and the gods have discussed it a few times, of course, it is just a small talk on the way, Ah Li is a singer who sings and dances.
And.
Every time she performs, countless people will go.
A high platform on the outlying island is the stage for Ah Li, and the entire surrounding sea area is an audience seat, and everyone will park their boats on the sea.
Stand on your own boat and watch Ah Li's song and dance.
……
The Shikigami soon got up and walked out of the room, a thin mist scattered in the air outside, a moist cold, and everyone was completely awake.
"Let's go."
Chen Beibei looked at the gods and said to them.
"Hmm."
The Shikigami replied in unison.
The bluestone slabs on the ground, through the soles of the shoes, spread the chill. In the mist, some trees can be seen in the distance.
Although there is only starlight.
You can't see your surroundings clearly.
However, this hazy feeling is still very good, and a few dog barks can be heard from time to time in the alley, which makes people feel peaceful and distant.
"Master, is Ah Li still performing on Yoshiwara Island?"
Zashiki looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.
"I guess it's gone."
Chen Beibei looked at the Zashiki boy and replied to her.
At this time, Chen Beibei did not tell the Zashiki boy about Ah Li is ignorant fire, after all, such a thing seems to be a little cruel.
Ah Li is a beautiful singer who makes people yearn for it.
Shiranui, on the other hand, is a youkai that burns in the sea and devours humans who travel to the outlying islands for various purposes.
"But...... We might even be able to meet Ah Li......"
Chen Beibei smiled slightly, and then said.
Ah Li's dancing at that time attracted a lot of people, and the boat lights lit up on the sea illuminated the entire sea.
People say.
That's the scene when Shiranui appears.
It is precisely because of this that the name Ah Li, for the first time, has established a bond with Shiranui, and if it were Lord Abe Harumi, he would probably call this bond a "curse".
Regarding Ah Li's dancing, of course Chen Beibei also wanted to see the last time, of course...... This kind of thinking is the same type as buying a lottery ticket to win the jackpot.
Unattainable......
I can only say that it is a kind of thinking, but I also know that it is almost impossible.
"What a pity."
Zashiki boy sighed and said with some regret.
"Hmm."
Chen Beibei replied.
The grand scene at the time of Ah Li's performance was nearly a thousand years ago, and at that time, it belonged to the Heian period.
The great onmyoji Abe Harumi is still alive.
Now that Lord Abe Harumi is dead, and Ah Li has become ignorant of fire, of course, there must be many, many people in that story, and other stories.
……
Again, already on the sea.
This section of the sea route will be very long, and it will take about half a month to sail, after all, the next landing will already be on another land.
That place, called Fuso, is the hometown of Haruaki-sama Abe, and there are more legends about youkai there.
Yoshiwara Islands.
Hundreds of years ago, during the reign of the Tokugawa shogunate, it was established as an official place for people to have fun.
It can be regarded as the most prosperous one of the three places of wind and moon.
Of course.
At its busiest, when the new Oiran makes its debut, the streets are often lined with people, waiting to see the Oiran's face.
I don't know what has become of the current Yoshiwara Island.
But probably, there are no more scenes like the original.
……
Half a month has passed.
The voyage on the sea was smooth sailing, and I finally arrived at Fuso in the expected time, and I felt like I was back on land.
It gives people a sense of vertigo that is unreal.
"Master, we're finally here."
Yingcao looked at Chen Beibei and said happily.
"Hmm."
Chen Beibei looked at Yingcao and replied to her.
At this time, Chen Beibei was undoubtedly a little excited, after all, the land under his feet was already the land full of ghost legends.
Haruaki Abe, Michimitsu Ashiya, Yorimitsu Minamoto, Tadayuki Kashige, Hoken Kashige, Kokaku, Monk Kukai......
Qingxing lantern.
Flower and bird rolls.
Great Tengu.
Mitsu.
Kaguya-hime.
Thinking that these characters and these monsters once lived together in this place, there will still be some little excitement in my heart.
Chen Beibei took the Shishen to find a random place, ate something, and continued on his way.
Now in a completely unfamiliar place, Chen Beibei and the Shishen are also very cautious, and the three brothers and sisters have also returned to the courtyard again.
"Where is Yoshihara?"
Chen Beibei casually found a passer-by and asked him about the general direction of Jiyuan, and the passer-by was also very enthusiastic to tell Chen Beibei the route to Jiyuan.
But.
When Chen Beibei and the others had already walked a distance, the passer-by stopped Chen Beibei again.
"Hey."
Because passers-by didn't know Chen Beibei's name, they just shouted like this in order to attract Chen Beibei's attention.
Chen Beibei turned around.
"What are you doing in Yoshiwara?"
Passers-by looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.
"It's just because there are some things to do that I need to go to Yoshiwara."
Chen Beibei looked at the passerby and replied.
"In three days, there will be a reincarnation. You'd better not go to Yoshiwara. ”
Passers-by said.
Transmigration......
What passers-by said made Chen Beibei a little interested.
At least.
This passer-by must have known something about Yoshihara, maybe just some legends, but Chen Beibei still decided to inquire clearly.
"Can you tell me more about that?"
Chen Beibei looked at the passer-by and asked him.
The passer-by was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy with a weak bookish anger on his body, which felt a little soft, but it still felt good.
"On a crescent moon night, don't you know the rumors of ignorant fire?"
The boy seemed confused.
"I'm from out of town, my name is Chen Beibei, please advise."
Chen Beibei looked at the boy and said to him.
"I see."
The boy scratched his head and said.
Although Chen Beibei knew the rumors of Shiranhuo, after all, every ten years, many people would disappear on the outlying islands of Jiyuan.
This thing.
Even outsiders already know it.
Everyone said that the big monster didn't know the fire and burned those people to death, and many people have avoided Yoshiwara Island.
Even before the ten-year period of reincarnation.
People don't approach Yoshiwara Islands casually, and even in the surrounding waters, there are few fishermen who go fishing.
"My name is Unichiro Taketori, and I live in Sanuki."
The young man saw Chen Beibei say his name, so he also reported his name.
For the surname Taketori, Chen Beibei has still heard of it, after all, a long time ago, Chen Beibei was also a fat house that waited for the Hokage to update every Friday.
The Taketori clan is a clan within the Hokage that can manipulate bones.
Gives the feeling.
There are some brainless people who like to kill, and then they are exterminated. There is only one Junmaro left......
However, Chen Beibei's main thought was not the Taketori clan in the Hokage, but an ancient one called "The Tale of Taketori".
Among them, it mainly tells the story of the little princess Kaguya-hime.
However, these are all stories in legends, and seeing people with the surname Taketori in reality still makes Chen Beibei a little interested.
"Sanuki?"
Chen Beibei looked at the young man in front of him and asked with some doubts.
"Well, if you have time, you can go and have some fun."
The boy replied.
Sanuki should be a very poor place, but the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and then a lot of bamboo is grown.
After all.
It was the hometown of Princess Kaguya-hime.
Sanuki Zao and his wife took out the little princess Kaguya from the bamboo, and then raised her carefully, and at that time Kaguya was just a three-inch villain.
No one would have thought that this three-inch villain would become a slim girl.
No one will know.
From the cut bamboo, there will be a steady stream of gold, and of course, all the rest of the family, Sanuki Zao and his wife don't know.
It's just a reward for kindness.
And in the end, some uncomfortable endings were only caused by Sanuki Zao and his wife, who loved Kaguya so much that they made that love a bondage.
"But for now, tell me about what happened to Yoshiwara Island."
Chen Beibei looked at Taketori Meiichiro and said to him.
Although he was very curious about the hometown of the little princess Kaguya, Chen Beibei came this time for the mission of not knowing the fire.
So, it's still important to get down to business.
"Every 10 years, a nameless fire rises on the surface of Yoshiwara's remote islands, and everyone says that it is a sight of the great yokai Shiranui.
Now.
Yoshiwara Islands has been peaceful for ten years.
Reincarnation has begun.
In three days, it will be time for the Great Youkai Shiranui to descend on Yoshiwara Island, so now the road to Yoshiwara Island has been blocked. ”
Umeiichiro Taketori looked at Chen Beibei and said slowly.
"The road is blocked?"
Chen Beibei asked suspiciously.
"Well, it's just to keep you people from getting close to Yoshiwara Island, after all, once you go, it's very likely that you'll never come back."
Umeichiro Taketori replied.
The road to Jiyuan Island was blocked, which was something Chen Beibei did not expect, after all, the matter about Shiranui had lasted so long and never stopped.
Before that, I had never heard of such a road closure.
"Okay. Thank you for telling me this. ”
Chen Beibei looked at Taketori Meiichiro and said to him.
At this time, Chen Beibei had already come here thousands of miles away, even though the road to Jiyuan Island had been blocked.
You must also find a way to go to Yoshiwara Island.
Taketori Meiichiro's kind persuasion, for the time being, I can only say thank you.
"You're still going?"
The corners of Taketori Meiichiro's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, although he looked weak, but the smile carried a hint of rebelliousness.
Chen Beibei, who was already planning to leave, heard Taketori Meiichiro's words, and was a little flustered, after all, his inner thoughts had been guessed by Taketori Meiichiro.
"Hmm."
Chen Beibei told the truth.
Chen Beibei's feeling for Taketori Meiichiro is still good, he seems to be a relatively weak boy, and when he speaks, his voice is also very soft.
But.
But you can feel that Umeiichiro Taketori has a strong self-confidence.
"If you don't mind, then take me one."
Umeiichiro Taketori looked at Chen Beibei and said slowly.
"What are you going to do?"
Chen Beibei asked.
At this time, when Taketori Meiichiro proposed to go with him, Chen Beibei was still reluctant, after all, Taketori Meiichiro seemed to be just an ordinary person.
And the fire on Yoshiwara Island.
In the past ten years, the crescent moon nights have swallowed up many, many people who went to Yoshiwara Island.
"I heard that Yoshiwara Islands was once the best place to wind and moon, and there were more than a dozen famous Oiran, and the most beautiful one was called Ali.
This time, I went.
Of course, it's to see Ah Li's prosperous beauty. ”
Umeiichiro Taketori seems to have been immersed in some kind of beautiful fantasy, and the smile on the corner of his mouth has gradually become obvious.
Ah Li is not knowing the fire.
Umeiichiro Taketori probably knows this, so he said something like "I want to see the beauty of Ah Li's prosperous age".
After all.
If in the eyes of Unichiro Taketori, Ah Li was just an ordinary Oiran, then after so many years, he would have died a long time ago.
It's impossible to see her.
Chen Beibei carefully looked at the young man in front of him, wearing the simple clothes of an ordinary peasant family, and the color was also the most bland hemp.
It's a very ordinary appearance, but it seems that I know a lot of things...... 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.
