Chapter 418: Havoc in Tokyo (11)
slept until eleven o'clock, and the mobile phone that Luo Han bought in this scene rang. Luo Han opened his eyes, reached out and took out his mobile phone from under the pillow, and glanced at it, it was Misuke Dogomon's phone.
"Wind, I'm going to the birthday banquet of the predecessor of the Wind Demon Torataro, don't you want to go together? Hurry up. ”
Luo Han shook his head, sobered up for a moment, and said, "Okay, I'll go over right away." ”
Hanging up the phone, Xingtong opened his eyes and asked, "Dad, where are you going?" ”
Luo Han said while changing his shoes: "I'm going to attend an old onmyoji's birthday banquet, which has something to do with this mission. ”
"Can Star Pupils go with us?"
Luo Han hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm not going to take you with me, but you can quietly follow me with Uncle Shadow." I'll come to you when I'm done. ”
Xingtong nodded: "Understood." ”
Luo Han changed his shoes, put on his coat and went out, passed by the door of Qi Tao's room, and knocked on the door. After a while, Qi Tao opened the door in his pajamas, Luo Han explained a few words, and left the hotel.
Take a taxi to the place where Misuke Tugomon stayed, Misuke Tugomon gave the driver a place name, the driver was a little surprised, but he didn't say much, and drove directly.
As the car drove past the tall buildings, a low, old-fashioned building suddenly appeared in front of it, looking a bit like a shrine, but without incense. A large number of luxury cars were parked on the street next to them, and people wearing loose onmyoji clothes got out of the cars and walked towards a courtyard door in twos and threes.
The taxi stopped on the side of the road, and Misuke Tsuchigomon handed the driver a banknote and led Luo Han to the courtyard gate.
"Misuke Tsuchimon, Wind, what's going on with that fox demon?" Within a few steps, someone called the two men by name in the back. Looking back, it was Ashiya Chika and Obo Shizuna. Obo Shizuna's injuries have healed, and he has regained his previous majesty.
Misuke Tsuchimonto raised his neck and said, "Ashiya Chika, Obo Shizuna, why are you still thinking about that fox demon?" Isn't it ugly enough? ”
Da Bao Jingming's face was a little ugly, and he said viciously: "This damn fox demon almost caused me to kill civilians by mistake, if I catch it, I will definitely eat its flesh, drink its blood, and then make its bones into chopsticks, and refine its soul into a permanent slave of the gods." ”
Ashiya Chika asked, "You didn't catch it either, did you?" ”
Luo Han smiled and said, "Mr. Dabao, don't be so angry, that little guy has been subdued by me." ”
Da Bao Jingming frowned: "Liar, right?" That guy is so cunning. If it's true, you let me take a look. ”
Luo Han shook his head: "It's a pity that its temper is too bad, and it blew itself up when I caught it, and it didn't even have time to collect its soul, so it can be regarded as avenging you." ”
Obo thought for a moment and nodded. This result is acceptable, otherwise he almost made the fox demon who didn't succeed in his life cheaper Luo Han, which would be very heart-wrenching.
Although Ashiya Chika and Misuke Tsuchimondo were born in two families that did not like each other, they are now both onmyoji families on the surface, and they are not incompatible. In the past few days, Luo Han investigated the characters on the list given to him by Kawasawori, and by the way, he checked the history of the onmyoji in this scene, and found that although Abe Harumi and Ashiya Michiman have different ideas and often work against each other, they have never actually been killed, and the worst thing is that Ashiya Michiman was exiled. The two are more like evenly matched rivals than mortal enemies, and between the two families now, the two sides are more competitive.
At this time, Ashiya Chika thought that she and Misuke Tsuchimon were in sympathy, so she said: "Since we both lost to this fox demon this time, let's find time to compare again." ”
Misuke Tuyumen didn't understand why Luo Han wanted to hide it, but it was not easy to expose it, so he could only nod: "Whoever is afraid of whom, compare it." ”
While speaking, the four of them had already walked to the door, and a middle-aged onmyoji stood at the door to greet the guests. Misuke Tsuchigomon took out a small box and handed it to the middle-aged man and said, "Misuke Tsuchiomon of the Tugomon family, on behalf of the family, congratulates the predecessor of the Wind Demon, Shoubi Kamematsu, and presents a deep-sea coral. ”
The middle-aged man took the box, and someone next to him immediately wrote it down. The middle-aged man said respectfully: "Miss Tuyumen, please." ”
Luo Han followed Misuke Doomon into the courtyard, and after a while, Ashiya Chika and the two followed. The four of them walked to a corner and stopped. Obo Shizuna suddenly said, "Uehara Tsuru is also here. ”
Luo Han followed Da Bao Jingming's gaze, and a silver-haired onmyoji walked by with two young men, and the guests next to him saluted respectfully.
Uehara Tsuru is one of the three top onmyoji in Tokyo, and together with the wind demon Torotaro and Heijo Yukame, he is known as the "Torano Tora and Turtle Three Heroes", and is a highly respected predecessor among all Tokyo onmyoji.
Soon after the appearance of the Uehara crane, the Heijo Yuki also appeared. Heijo Yuki is short and stout, and looks to be only in his forties, but he is actually over sixty years old, and he also walks a melee path, and is the idol and emulator of Oho Shizuna. It's a pity that Heijo Yonggui only showed up in a hurry, and went into a separate VIP room to rest.
Although the Tsuchigomon family and the Ashiya family are well-known onmyoji families in Japan, their sphere of influence is not in Tokyo, and it can be seen from the candidates they sent to congratulate the Wind Demon Tiger Taro on his birthday that they don't attach much importance to this matter, at most they just make a show out of etiquette. The onmyoji in Tokyo didn't take the initiative to deal with them, but it was Shizuna Obo who was a little famous in Tokyo, and people came to greet them from time to time.
At noon, guests began to be seated. Luo Han and the four of them consciously found a remote position, and the same table was also a young man sent by a force outside Tokyo, and everyone chatted without saying a word until the main one appeared.
A tall old man walked up to the rostrum with two middle-aged people. Obo Shizuna introduced: "This is Wind Demon Tiger Taro, next to him on the left hand is his eldest son Wind Demon Katsu, and on the right hand is the second son Wind Demon Turtle Hero." Wind Demon Katsu is considered the top among the Tokyo Mesozoic Onmyoji, and Wind Demon Kameo is a little worse, but it is also very powerful. ”
Wind Demon Torotaro walked up to the microphone, coughed, cleared his throat, and said, "Thank you friends for coming to my Wind Demon Torotaro's birthday party." In addition to my birthday banquet today, there is actually an important thing to announce. Because it was decided on an ad hoc basis, I didn't notify everyone in advance, so please don't blame it. ”
Sitting near the rostrum were the leading figures in Tokyo's Onmyoji world, and one of them shouted, "Torotaro, what else do you have to announce?" You can't be planning to retire, right? Hahaha......"
Luo Han noticed that the Wind Demon Turtle Male's face suddenly became unsightly, but only for a moment, he regained his calm.
Wind Demon Tiger Taro smiled heartily: "Inoue-kun is worthy of being an onmyoji who is famous for his intelligence, and he can guess it." That's right, I'm going to take this opportunity to announce my official retirement today, and the affairs of the Wind Demon Family will be taken over by Xiao Sheng in the future. I hope you can help a lot. ”
Wind Demon Sheng took a step forward, bowed ninety degrees, and said, "Please rest assured, I will definitely work hard to fight the demons, subdue the evil ghosts, and carry forward the Wind Demon family." ”
There was warm applause from the audience, and the guests gave the wind demon Torotaro enough face. Although the Wind Demon Family is not as powerful as the Tsuchigomon Family and the Ashiya Family, they are also the main talkers in Tokyo.
At this time, Yamamoto Tamagawa suddenly stood up and asked an inappropriate question: "Senior Wind Demon, since the eldest young master has inherited the Wind Demon family, what should the second young master do?" Do you want to stay in the Stormlord or do you want to establish a side branch? ”
As soon as these words came out, there was silence. Now although the Wind Demon Turtle Male is dazzling, the Wind Demon Turtle Male does not lose too much, if the Wind Demon Turtle Male is willing to assist the Wind Demon Victory, the Wind Demon Family's direct line is naturally as strong as yesterday, but if the Wind Demon Turtle Male wants to stand on his own, it is not impossible.
Da Bao Jingming explained in a low voice: "It is rumored that Yamamoto Tamagawa and Wind Demon Victory have a very poor relationship, and the two had a big fight over private matters many years ago, and Yamamoto Tamagawa almost beat Wind Demon Katsu to death. It seems that Yamamoto Tamagawa came to dismantle the stage on purpose this time. ”
On the stage, the Wind Demon Turtle Male stood up and said, "Big brother's strength and strategy are above me, I am naturally willing to assist Big Brother and carry forward the Wind Demon Family." ”
Yamamoto Tamagawa chuckled and said, "Oh? Is that so? After speaking, he said no more, but had an inexplicable smile on his face.
Luo Han felt that Yamamoto Tamagawa must know some inside information, but the other party would definitely not tell him.
On the stage, Wind Demon Tiger Taro carefully handed over a simple cane to Wind Demon Sheng, representing the inheritance of the status of the head of the family. Then Wind Demon and Wind Demon Turtle Male turned to leave.
Luo Han's pupils suddenly shrank, and he saw a piece of jade hanging on the body of the Wind Demon Turtle Xiong, with the word "turtle" engraved in the center, which was exactly the same as the word on the badge pattern he found behind the mirror in Gao Tang Xiujun's room, and the surrounding patterns seemed to be extremely similar.
"Could it be that the mastermind behind the scenes is the Wind Demon Turtle Male?" A thought flashed through Luo Han's mind, but he didn't dare to believe that the strength of the Wind Demon Turtle Xiong didn't seem to be enough to become the boss of Mission Three, unless he hid a very powerful means. Thinking of this, Luo Han quietly took out the piece of paper and compared it with the pattern he had just seen. The shape is very similar, and the characters in the middle are almost identical, but the patterns around it are a little different.
The birthday banquet continued, everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, chatted about the experience of subduing demons and eliminating demons, or the change of society, the change of people's concepts, and gradually everyone began to be dissatisfied with the communication between the same table, and began to gather in groups of three or five, introducing familiar friends to each other, and taking this birthday banquet as a rare social meeting between onmyoji.
Luo Han also boasted to his fellow tablemates about his fictional story of subjugating demons and demons in Huaxia, but his eyes kept looking around, paying attention to some suspicious objects.
Suddenly, Luo Han saw Pingcheng Yonggui stand up, said a few words to several old men at the same table, and said goodbye and went to the toilet.
Luo Han deliberately reminded Da Bao Jingming: "Pingcheng Yonggui has gone to the toilet, do you want to go together, maybe you can pee with your idol." ”
Everyone at the table laughed, but Da Bao Jingming didn't mind, stood up and said, "Then I really want to go and see, and wait for me to come back." With that, he walked towards the toilet.
After a few minutes, Da Bao Jingming came back, frowned and said, "It's really strange, I didn't see Heijo-senpai in the toilet." ”
A male onmyoji said casually: "Maybe he's unraveling, look, isn't that coming back?" ”
Luo Han followed the guide and looked over, and sure enough, he saw Pingcheng Yonggui coming back from the direction of the toilet, but because there was a turning point in the middle, I don't know if he really went to the toilet.
After another ten minutes or so, a scream came from a room: "Oh no! Something is wrong! The eldest young master is dead! ”
This call stunned everyone, in the house of Wind Demon Torotaro, at his birthday banquet, the eldest son Wind Demon Katsu, who had just taken over the position of head of the family, actually died!
"Check it out!" Uehara Tsuru took the lead, and Heijo Yugui and Yamamoto Tamagawa and a few veteran Onmyoji immediately ran in the direction where the voice came from. The guests were a little slower and rushed over.
Ashiya Chika said: "There is such a big event in the Tokyo Onmyoji world, and our major families can't miss it. ”
Misuke Tugomon nodded: "I'll take a look too, I really want to know, who is so bold as to dare to kill the Wind Demon Grand Young Master at the birthday banquet of the Wind Demon's predecessor." ”
When the few of them arrived, the room was already full of people, and there was no way to see the situation inside, only to hear the angry voice of the Wind Demon Torotaro: "Who is it!" Who killed Xiao Sheng! I, the Wind Demon Family, will not let you go! I want you to pay it back with your blood! ”
Da Bao Jingming looked left and right, his eyes lit up, he stretched out his hand and patted the person in front of him, and asked, "Yamaguchi-kun, what's the situation inside?" ”
The man turned around and saw that it was Da Bao Jingming, so he said: "Wind Demon Sheng was killed in the main hall, his limbs were broken, and his neck was full of blood, which looked particularly miserable. The senior of the Wind Demon Torotaro is holding the corpse and is angry, the Wind Demon Kamei Ao and the younger sister Wind Demon Chiyo are standing next to them, and the Uehara Tsuru senior, the Heijo Yugui senior, and the Yamamoto Tamagawa Master are inspecting the scene. ”
Da Bao Jingming turned around and repeated, and asked, "Who do you think did it?" ”
Everyone shook their heads, and Ashiya Chika said, "We are all outsiders, and we don't know much about Tokyo Onmyoji. ”
Luo Han thought in his heart that just now Pingcheng Yonggui suddenly left the table to go to the toilet, Dabao Jingming followed him to the toilet but didn't see him, and then Feng Demon Sheng died, could it be that Pingcheng Yonggui did it? But Heijo Yonggui and Wind Demon Katsu don't have any grudges.
"You say......" Obo Shizuna quietly lowered her voice: "Could it be Yamamoto Tamagawa?" They have long had a grudge, Yamamoto Tamagawa has been traveling in other places for a long time, and this time he suddenly came back to participate in the birthday banquet of the predecessor of the Wind Demon Torotaro, and the Wind Demon Katsu died, which is too much of a coincidence. ”
Misuke Tsuchigomon immediately objected: "Impossible, Yamamoto Tamagawa doesn't bother to do such a thing." He is the 'No. 1 Onmyoji in Japan', and he can kill Wind Demon Victory at any time, is it necessary to suddenly come back and kill him after so many years? ”
Ashiya Chika also said, "It's impossible for Yamamoto-kun to do such a thing. ”。
Da Bao Jingming helplessly spread his hands: "Then who do you think it will be?" There aren't many people in Tokyo who can kill the Wind Demon Victory, and they can be counted on two hands. ”
Everyone shook their heads together, these people are indeed capable, but who will have the motive?
