Chapter Forty-Eight: The Little Horn

"Now, do you still think I'm a good person?" Li Yang looked down at Sadako in his arms and asked.

By this time, he was already under the covers.

"Yes." Sadako said firmly, holding Li Yang's hands tightly.

Then he apologized, "I have no experience, so I ...... last night It's not very good, don't dislike me. ”

Li Yang kissed Sadako's forehead, "Believe me, last night was the most comfortable night I ever had, especially your healing technique, it was really ...... Superb. ”

Hearing this, Sadako's face suddenly turned red.

She never dreamed that she would one day use the healing technique in that place, but who made herself inexperienced, she could only "cut corners".

Thinking of her lack of experience, Sadako suddenly thought of another person, "How is her experience?" ”

"She? Who? Li Yang didn't react for a while.

"That is, the person who said you were ruthless, I still can't understand it, how can she say that you are ruthless? It's really a blessing in the midst of blessings, and I don't know how to be blessed As soon as Sadako talked about this, she seemed to be fighting for Li Yang.

"Maybe she's too affectionate." Li Yang sighed.

If there is no love, how can there be such good acting skills?

Hearing Li Yang's sigh, Sadako couldn't help but feel a sense of jealousy in her heart.

What did that woman do that would make Li Yang never forget it to this day?

Maybe one day, Li Yang will forget himself, and he will not forget that woman.

Thinking of this, Sadako was jealous in her heart, but she was also afraid, and quickly changed the topic, "You haven't told me if her experience is good?" ”

This topic made her feel that she had a chance to win.

After all

She has healing.

"Oh no, every time she kisses me on the neck, I can't stop worrying that she'll bite my throat."

Li Yang's answer made Sadako's heart even happier.

She leaned closer to Li Yang and kissed him softly on the neck, "I will never bite your throat." ”

Indeed, compared to that Sadako, the one in front of him was really too gentle, so that Li Yang didn't feel a trace of threat.

"What do you want to eat today, I'll make it for you?" Sadako asked.

"Whatever, as long as you do it, I like it." Li Yang has never been stingy with sweet words to women.

Sadako's heart was as sweet as honey, and she happily went to cook.

She didn't mind that Li Yang was still lying in bed, and even wished that Li Yang could always lie on her bed.

This is of course impossible.

Li Yang lifted the quilt, sat up, and inadvertently swept his gaze over the mattress under him.

A pool of dried blood was very conspicuous.

"It's ...... the first time"

I don't know why, but what Li Yang remembered at this time was another Sadako.

Li Yang shook his head, forgot the figure in the white dress in his mind, got up and dressed, and folded the futon and put it in the cabinet.

But as soon as the cabinet door opened, Li Yang was stunned.

Because he saw something strange.

A stone statue.

A stone statue placed in the wardrobe in the bedroom, not clothes and bedding?

This is, of course, strange.

Li Yang couldn't help but get closer and look more closely.

The stone statue is about 20 centimeters in size, and it is a statue of an old man holding a Zen stick.

Who is this old man?

Sadako's ancestors?

The strangest thing is that this stone statue gives Li Yang a strong sense of familiarity, he always feels that he has seen it somewhere, and the time interval is not very long, otherwise the familiarity will not be so strong.

"I must have seen it somewhere during this time, but I didn't pay attention to it at the time......"

Looking at the stone statue, Li Yang worked hard to search for his memory, and subconsciously touched the stone statue.

Touched the ashes of one hand.

Apparently, this statue has been here for some years.

It's nothing, this house was originally Yamamura Shizuko's home, and since Yamamura Shizuko took Sadako to join Ikuma Heihachiro, this house has been uninhabited, only Yamamura Shizuko's cousin Yamamura Kei occasionally comes to visit.

And Yamamura Jing is obviously too lazy to clean, when Li Yang and Sadako came back yesterday, the house was full of dust, and the two of them roughly cleaned it before they could live in it, and some of the corners, such as this cabinet, were not cleaned.

Wait a minute.

Yamamura Kei!

When he thought of Yamamura Jing, Li Yang finally remembered where he had seen this stone statue.

The warehouse of Keika Yamamura!

At that time, whether Li Yang went to investigate Sadako, or in the name of superpower research, Yamamura Kei took it seriously, not only told him about Sadako, but also gave him the key to the warehouse, allowing him to check the research materials left in the warehouse Heihachiro Ikuma.

The warehouse was very messy, all kinds of messy things were piled together, and among them was this stone statue, that is, in that warehouse, Li Yang was also attacked by Sadako for the second time, so he was even more impressed.

That's right, that's it.

Li Yang was sure that he was not mistaken, and compared the stone statue in front of him with the stone statue in his memory, and determined that the two were the same stone statue.

"This stone statue ......," Li Yang had a strong premonition.

This stone statue, which he ignored at the beginning, must have some kind of great significance.

"Stepping on the ......" resounded the sound of hurried footsteps behind him.

Sadako ran into the house and nervously blocked the cabinet, "Don't look." ”

"Okay." Li Yang turned around and really didn't look at it.

Sadako then looked back at the closet, and then looked at Li Yang, but she didn't know what to say.

For a moment, the atmosphere became stiff.

Li Yangqing coughed and took the initiative to find a topic to ease the atmosphere, "Is breakfast ready?" ”

"Not yet."

"I'll help you."

"Hmm."

Despite the words, Sadako still had a worried expression on her face.

She suddenly hugged Li Yang, "You believe me, I'm definitely not a demon girl monster who believes in a cult or anything, it's just ...... Just, please give me a little time, and I'll tell you everything later, okay? ”

"Okay." Li Yang pinched Sadako's face with a solemn expression.

Seeing that he was still very close to him, and did not look disgusted or disgusted at all, Sadako finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Two months later.

Sadako opened the cabinet again and finally told the origin of the stone statue, "This is the stone statue of Kokokaku." ”

Li Yang immediately asked a very humble question, "Who is the servant Xiaojiao?" ”

"You don't know the little horn?" Sadako was surprised.

Li Yang stroked his face, "It seems that he is a very famous person." ”

"It's not just famous!"

Sadako talked about the little horn, and her face was full of awe, "He is a famous spell artist in ancient times, the original immortal, and the ancestor of Kamo Tadayuki, the master of Onmyoji Abe Harumi, and the ancestor of Shugendo......"

At first, Li Yang thought that Gong Xiaojiao was a god in some Japanese mythology, but after listening to Sadako's words, he realized that this was a folk legend.

Unlike mythological figures.

Mythological characters are imaginary, and although such legendary characters also have conjecture and exaggeration, they are real people.

"But what does that have to do with you?" Li Yang couldn't help but ask.

"My mother was a believer in the Enlightenment."

Sadako said: "After World War II, the American soldiers left Oshima, but when they left, they retaliated and threw the stone statue of the small horn enshrined in the cultivator's cave into the sea. ”

"Fishing out such a small stone statue from the vast sea?" Li Yang couldn't help but say.

He couldn't help but question it.

Although the stone statue is not small, it is too small compared to the whole sea.

It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"It's incredible."

Sadako sighed, "I once asked my mother this question, but she said that it was not she who found the statue, but the statue who found her.

It was also from then on that my mother had so-called superpowers.

In 1946, she left Oshima and went to Tokyo alone, where she met Heihachiro Ikuma, a superpower researcher, who was my father...... My mother was not surprised by the fact that she gave birth to me the next year, and it was not until I grew up that she told me the secret of the stone statue.

It turned out that she had known all this for a long time.

The source has to start with this little horn.

During his lifetime, he once subdued two powerful ghosts, one called the former ghost and the other called the rear ghost, one kind and the other tyrannical.

Before he died, he was worried that the two ghosts would be in trouble if they lost his restraint, so he sealed the two ghosts on his stone statue.

For countless years, the two goblins have wanted to break free from the seal.

Time has worn out their self-will, and they are only left with the obsession of wanting to escape from the seal, and finally, they set their sights on my mother, and their power was reincarnated as two children through my mother.

One is me.

The other is Sadako, who has the same face as me but has a diametrically opposite personality, sorry, but my parents didn't name her, so I don't know what to call her, even if it's me...... Sister. ”

Sadako's tone was reluctant, obviously, she never regarded the other party as a sister.

"My mother never told me this secret, not even my father, because she was afraid that my father would think of her as a demon who served ghosts.

And my father still used his supernatural knowledge to reluctantly accept us, and he asked me to go and live the life of a normal girl and ...... me My sister was locked up in the house.

Because of this, she was full of resentment, she constantly tortured me, my family, and even the people around me, and she even killed my brother.

My mother couldn't bear the blow, her willpower was depressed, and she was forcibly taken by my father to do a superpower experiment, but the experiment failed, and my mother was hit even harder, and finally she was overwhelmed and committed suicide by jumping into the sea......"

Talking about her mother's sad past, tears can't stop flowing from Sadako's eyes.

Li Yang gently hugged Sadako comfortingly, "If you don't want to say it, don't say it." ”

"No, I'm going to say."

Sadako's tone was firm, as if she had made some kind of decision, "I thought it was over, but I found that her resentment was still not gone, she was still taking revenge on me in her way, and the previous tragic death of the Flying Troupe personnel was just the beginning, she had already integrated into my body, and I was tightly entangled with me, constantly influencing me, many times even suppressed my will, occupied the dominance of the body, and what scared me even more was that her soul actually showed signs of merging with me."

I wouldn't allow that to happen!

I'd rather die than become a monster.

Now, I'm going to tell you this secret, and I hope you'll help me. ”

Speaking of this, Sadako hugged Li Yang tightly and said in a trembling voice: "I don't want you to get involved in this matter, but there is no way, there is no way, except for you, I don't know who to ask for help at all, you ...... Can you help me? ”

Li Yang didn't say yes, nor did he say no, but said very simply: "What should I do?" ”

"It's simple......"
