443 Mystery Man
At half past ten o'clock in the evening, Reina Honda and I drove to the vicinity of Ueno Park, and I didn't let the stone follow, preparing to meet the owner of the red bird alone.
"Mr. Lin, have you really thought about it?" Reina Honda looked at me, "The park is going to close when you enter the park, and the time chosen by the other party is very strange, so I think it's better to take some precautions." ”
"No," I said, "that would be not honest." ”
"But we don't know where each other comes from, so it's very risky," she worries.
"Don't worry," I smiled, "this is not an enemy, and it will be fine." ”
Seeing that I was so sure, she didn't want to say anything, "Okay then, I'll park the car nearby, and you can contact me at any time if there is a situation." ”
I nodded, opened the door, got out of the car, and headed towards the park.
Using Shikigami to control small animals and make a voice for her is something that only a particularly powerful onmyoji can do. I asked Reina Honda, and she said that her cultivation was not up to this level. So no matter what this person comes from, I must meet her today and find out her details.
After walking a few dozen meters away, the red bird appeared again, it flew over and landed on my shoulder, and the woman's voice suddenly came to my ears again, "Mr. go forward and right, and turn left at the intersection, where we will meet." ”
"Okay," I said lightly.
Following her instructions, I walked a few hundred meters to the right and there was a junction in front of me, then I turned left and continued on my way. The little bird was always on my shoulder, quietly looking around, without making a single call.
After walking more than ten meters, a car came up and stopped not far in front of me. I walked up to see that the windows had been rolled down and a dignified Japanese girl was smiling at me.
"Please get in the car", a woman's voice came from her ear again, but the girl in the car did not speak.
I opened the door and got into the car, fastened my seatbelt, and it was only then that the bird made a crisp cry and flew out of the car and disappeared.
The car moved on.
"Miss asked me to come here, what advice do you have?" I'll look at the girl.
"You're from the Nine Star Society?" She asked softly.
"Yes, you should have known it for a long time," I said, "didn't it mean that something important was told to me?" Can you say it now? ”
"You're really anxious, after you meet, you don't even ask who I am, just cut straight to the topic", she said, "This is really not like the style of Little Seventh Master." ”
I was stunned, "Do you know Little Seventh Master?" ”
"Yes", she paused, "I guess I haven't seen each other for nearly three years, is he okay?" ”
"Uh...... It's good", I looked at her hesitantly, "Miss, may I ask who you are?" ”
"My name is Haruko Abe," she smiled faintly.
"It turned out to be Miss Abe, my name is Lin Zhuo!" I paused, "Can you say that now?" ”
"Yes," she nodded, "I asked my husband to meet to talk to you about the Four Killings." ”
I was calm, "Okay, listen up." ”
She pulled the car into an underground parking lot, unbuckled her seatbelt, and set her mind, "The predecessor of the Four Killing Sacrifices is called the Three Gods Soul Exterminator, which came from China and is said to come from an ancient Chinese witchcraft sect. ”
"Tritheistic Cult!" , I was shocked, but on the surface I didn't leak my word, and motioned for her to continue.
"All witchcraft must have a god, and the legend of this sect is that the god was killed by the gods, so this magic lost its original power," she said, "After it was introduced to Japan, the ancient onmyoji transformed it and replaced the original god of this art with the sun and moon gods in Shinto, and developed it into a four-god festival." They experimented for hundreds of years, and after success, they found that the technique was so powerful that the Four Gods Sacrifice was also called the Four Killing Sacrifices. ”
"I don't quite understand, the sun god and the moon god are obviously two, why are they called the four god sacrifices?" I asked.
She glanced at me, "In Japanese Shintoism, the sun god is the great god of Amaterasu, and the moon god is the moon reading son, in order to transform the three gods of soul destroying, the earliest generations of onmyoji reached a contract with the two gods with the method of blood sacrifice, and the two gods respectively conjured up a doppelganger as the god master of this technique, they represent the dark power of the sun and the moon respectively, so they are called the four gods together with their bodies. For this reason, this kind of witchcraft can be good or evil, and its power has greatly surpassed that of the three gods of the year. ”
"......I see," I nodded.
"After the birth of the Four Killing Festivals, it caused great chaos in the world, and for this reason, the then great generals Gen Shitomo and Hojo sent troops to kill all the onmyoji in the Onmyo-ryo, and this kind of witchcraft was lost," she paused, "However, although it has been lost, the contract with the gods is still there, so as long as the conditions are right, this kind of magic can be returned to the human world." ”
"Then why hasn't anyone succeeded in hundreds of years?" I asked.
She glanced at me, "If you want to refine the Four Killing Sacrifices, you need two necessary conditions, one is that you need someone with the highest talent, and the other is that you need a place where your aura is clear. This first point may be easy to satisfy, but this second point ...... It's too hard. ”
"Is it difficult?" I frowned.
"Naturally, it's difficult," she said, "There are many places in Japan where the aura is high-quality, but there are none of them that meet the needs of cultivating the Four Killing Sacrifices." The situation in Japan a thousand years ago is completely different from that of Japan today, and the aura underground is not the same. Don't say it's Japan, it's your country, isn't it the same? ”
"That's right," I don't deny, "the underground qi veins have been disturbed and destroyed so much that they can't be compared with the past. ”
"During World War II, a group of Onmyoji were commissioned by the military department to follow the footsteps of the Japanese army and look for suitable places for qi veins everywhere. After the defeat of Japan, the army was gone, but this action of the Onmyoji has been secretly persisted until it officially ended thirty years ago", she slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "The three generations of Onmyoji before and after have searched almost all over Asia, and they have not found a suitable place. ”
"Why do you know so well?" I looked at her.
"Well, you don't need to ask," she said, glancing at me, "I hope what I've said will help you." ”
"Thank you, it's really helpful," I paused, "Miss Abe and I don't know each other, so there must be a reason why she did me such a big favor for no reason, so please just say it." ”
"I don't have anything else to ask for," she said, "I just hope that when my husband meets my boyfriend in the future, he will be able to raise his noble hand and let him live." ”
"Your boyfriend?" I frowned, "Who is he?" ”
"His name is Seiji Seida", she smiled lightly, "Mr. Hayashi, can you promise me?" ”
"Chengtian Eiji......" I thought about it, and suddenly my heart was shocked, "It can't be the Mr. Chengtian who has a grudge against the Ziwei Li family, right?" ”
She was noncommittal.
"Miss Abe, do you mean that I will have a conflict with your boyfriend in the future?"
"He won't provoke him, but......" she paused, "please sir, promise me, I love him very much, and I don't want him to die at his hands." ”
I pondered for a moment, "Okay, I promise you!" ”
She breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you! I've told you all about the Four Killings Sacrifice, and the rest of the story is very dangerous, so I hope you should be more careful. ”
"If you're not from the Nine Star Society, why do you know so much?" I looked at her, "You have to tell me the truth." ”
"It's true that I'm not from the Nine Star Society," she said, "and one of my distant uncles is now the star master of your Society, but the gap between our two families is deep. The reason why I know this has nothing to do with the Nine Star Society, it was all told to me by my father. My grandfather and great-grandfather both tried to revive the Four Killings, but they failed, and according to the prophecy left by the ancient Onmyoji, it was estimated that a vengeful woman would revive the Four Killings this year. If that were the case, it could be a huge disaster. ”
"And how did you find me?"
"We are both onmyoji, I know you are here, find you, this is not strange, right?" She smiled faintly, "It's a certainty, if it weren't for Mr.'s protector who couldn't follow you for some special reasons, I'm afraid it wouldn't be easy to find you with my cultivation." If you go to stop that woman, you must first learn about the Four Killing Rites, and there are not many people who know these secrets these days, so I must find you, both for the mission and for my boyfriend. ”
"Understood, thank you, Miss Abe," I nodded, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of guessing, your ancestor won't be Abe, right?" ”
"Yes," she said calmly, "my ancestor was the son of Saya Abe." ”
I opened my mouth and didn't say anything more, she smiled faintly, "The matter is over, I'll send you back." ”
Saya Abe is the daughter of Akira Abe, and her mother is Sara Abe, the daughter of Tadayuki Kamo. Legend has it that Sara died in childbirth at the age of 14 and gave birth to a daughter, Saya Abe, who later grew up and married Abe Akira for her mother.
History records that among Abe's sons, there seems to be no one born to Abe Saya, so in this sense, Abe Haruko's ancestor should be a "mysterious son".
Don't say it's ancient Japan, even in ancient China, this kind of thing is not uncommon, and the reason why I don't say anything anymore is because I am worried that I will ask too much and touch Abe Haruko's privacy, which will not be appropriate.
She sent me back to the place where I got on the bus, and shook my hand as she got out of the car, "Please remember my words, sir, the key to the Four Killings Sacrifice lies in the aura underground." ”
"Thank you, I'll remember," I said, "and what I promised you, I'll do it." ”
She smiled, "Okay, thank you!" ”
After getting out of the car, I slowly walked back, and there was a sound of footsteps in front of me, and I looked up and saw that it was Reina Honda.
"Mr. Lin, are you okay?" She asked with concern.
"Oh, it's okay," I smiled, "I'm just a little hungry, Reina, come with me for something to eat." ”
She watched me for a while to make sure I was okay, and then she breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, what would you like to eat?" ”
I thought about it for a while, "Let's just ramen, I think Japanese ramen is very good, I've never eaten too authentic before, it's rare to come once, I have to try it." ”
"Well, then I'll take you to a great ramen restaurant", she smiled.
I smiled faintly, "There is one more thing, I don't want to see those two important people, you can arrange it, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, let's go directly to France." ”
