Chapter 142: The Secret of Nijo Castle
……
"Back then, your first Empress Himiko of the East sent envoys to the Great Wei, and Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Zihuan gave the seal and canonized it, and it arrived in the Tang and Song dynasties. He even sent many envoys to study in our country and regarded himself as a vassal state. ”
Fan Ren smiled at Oda Nobutada's stiff face and continued.
"Yes. After the First World War of the Song, Yuan, and Yashan, it began with the so-called emperor of the East. To you who are actually in power, oh. That is, the so-called big names like you are all claiming to be Little China, thinking that we are impostors and barbarians, let alone in modern times. In such a situation, why should I help a strong man with wolf ambitions? ”
Oda Nobutada shook his head lightly when he heard this, and said with a calm look.
"The Oda family did participate in the funding of the Haikou of the Ming Kingdom back then, but it was just a transaction with His Royal Highness King Hui, not to mention. Since I died in Nijo Castle, I didn't wake up until twenty years ago, and I have no idea what happened to Toyo during this time. And the reason why the Oda family, the descendants of my descendants, wanted to resurrect my father Nobunaga so urgently was because of the changes in the East. ”
"Oh?"
As soon as he heard Oda Nobutada's explanation, Fan Ren suddenly had some doubts in his heart, and said, "What happened?" ”
As a student of the Department of History, Fan Ren naturally knew that the King of Hui in Oda Nobunada's mouth was Wang Zhi, a great pirate who crisscrossed the sea during the Jiajing period of the former Ming Dynasty.
This is a figure who has been able to hover in the East for decades, and even, he occupied a piece of land in the East and established the Song Kingdom, but it is not wrong that there was also a share of Wang Zhi's part in the flood of Japanese pirates during the Jiajing period, but the Oda family may not be able to get rid of it.
"Your Excellency, do you know that I was born before King Wang Zhi of Hui was beheaded by the Ming Kingdom, and died here twenty-six years later, but although I had become a ghost at that time, it didn't take long for Matsuhime to come here and reseal my soul, and it stands to reason that my soul, as long as it takes a while, will be aggravated by the yang energy of Nijo Castle, and die with all my retainers and subordinates."
Oda Nobutada said calmly:
"Originally, the afterlife is the best destination for resentful ghosts like us in the yang world, but I don't know why. More than twenty years ago, our seal. was opened again, and even Matsuhime, who had been practicing for decades and should have been reincarnated I don't know how many times, came here inexplicably. ”
Fan Ren's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this. Lost in thought, he soon spoke:
"What do you mean. Someone behind everything? ”
Oda Nobutada nodded, shook his head again, and said with a blank expression:
"It's just speculation, I can't know for sure. But now I and my fifteen hundred dead soldiers, as well as Matsuhime, who has died after decades of practice. There is no peace in the spirits. It's a fact. ”
"So what?"
Fan Ren looked coldly at Oda Nobutada in front of him, with an indifferent look.
"Got to the point, okay?"
……
"The concubine body feels the rest of the matter. It's better to say that it's a concubine. ”
Takeda Matsuhime, dressed in a kimono, stood up from his seat next to him. Opening:
"After the death of the concubine. According to the virtue of the concubine, it should be said that she can be reborn in the Elysian World. ”
As he spoke, Takeda Matsuhime bowed his head slightly. He looked at the string of prayer beads in his hand.
"But...... On the occasion of her death, the concubine heard the voice of the Buddha......"
Fan Ren was slightly stunned when he heard this, although there was some gap between the subordination of the Eastern Netherworld and the orthodox underworld. But because Dongmi developed in the East in ancient times, those bald heads in the Western Heavenly Buddha Realm are always willing to come here to brush up on their presence.
Therefore, whoever has seen the Buddha here has the Eight Attainments to be true.
Buddha said. I need to seal the incarnation of the demon king in the human world on the sixth day, so after the death of the concubine, the soul floated to Kyoto City overnight. But at that time, the soul of Oda Nobunaga had already been sealed by the people of the Tsuchigomon family. ”
As he spoke, Takeda Matsuhime paused and continued:
"Later, according to the guidance of the monks of Honnoji Temple, my soul came to Nijo Castle again, at my own expense. Sleep with Lord Shintada and all the war dead under his command. ”
As he spoke, Takeda Matsuhime slowly took a few steps forward and continued:
"Things are still normal when they get here, as time slips away, the yang energy of Nijo Castle is getting heavier and heavier, and soon, their resentment will become less and less, as long as it takes a while, they can successfully dissolve all their resentment and pass away."
Speaking of this, Takeda Matsuhime's expression became cold, and wisps of black gas even appeared on his forehead.
"However, twenty years ago, all this was broken by a few ignorant people. Not only were all of them unable to die, but the golden body of the concubine's cultivation was also broken. They woke up, but they became necromancy. And. More than 1,500 people, since they woke up again, there is no way to leave here. ”
Takeda Matsuhime's eyes began to flow blood and tears.
"Twenty years... Twenty years of cage-like life, so that the resentment that the concubines finally helped them dissolve, began to re-condense again, how could those bastards refuse to even be dead. ”
"Matsuhime."
Seeing that Takeda Matsuhime's state was getting stranger and stranger, Oda Nobutada snorted coldly, and S Matsuhime calmed down at that time.
"Your Excellency, you have seen it too."
Oda Nobutada sighed, a sad look on his face for the first time.
"Even a person like Matsuhime, who has gone through the practice of Buddhism, has become a resentful spirit after 20 years in Nijo Castle, which is full of dead spirits. If we, the spirits, are released from Nijo Castle, at least, the entire Kansai region will never have peace until Heaven sends a punishment to kill us. ”
Fan Ren nodded, according to the current situation, the 1,500 400-year-old undead are still contaminated with countless evil spirits and resentments, if this is released, who can withstand it.
"You still have a little more to say."
Fan Ren looked at Oda Nobutuda not far away with a solemn face, and said with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth:
"Fifteen hundred undead, if all of them are controlled by those who have a heart, it will be a terrifying force. But neither you nor I want to see this kind of thing. ”
Saying that, Fan Ren slowly looked around, glanced at the eight ghosts who had been kneeling on both sides without saying a word from beginning to end, and continued:
"Because you, Oda Nobutada, like your father Oda Nobunaga, have the ambition of the world's martial arts, and the dead soldiers who can stand by your side in the end will never be allowed to be dominated by other people without your orders."
As he spoke, Fan Ren's eyebrows curled and he said in a low voice, "What I said is right."
