Until the next morning, Tsurumi Aoi didn't understand what she had seen in her dream last night.

But she felt it wasn't just a dream.

After dawn, Tsurumi Aoi packed up and left the house.

At the elevator entrance of the apartment, she met the grandfather next door with a pet dog in his arms.

"Little girl, get up so early." The old man preached to Tsurumi in a kind way.

"Good morning." The latter also responded politely.

Familiar neighbors greeted each other normally.

After getting off the elevator and watching the neighbor's grandfather take his pet dog for a walk, Tsurumi was almost sure that the "thing" that followed him from the Otemachi platform yesterday should have disappeared.

"Is it because of the blessing of Daikokuten-sama? Or ......"

Or is it because of the figures I saw in my dream last night?

Tsurumi Aoi is not clear.

Leaving the apartment, she had planned to take the train to school in Edogawa Ward.

But before I got to the station, I received a call from my father.

The father on the other end of the phone said in a somewhat anxious tone: "Xiaokui, did you save a girl who was looking for a short time at the Otemachi platform yesterday?" ”

"Hmm."

Tsurumi Aoi was not surprised that her father was able to learn the news.

After all, after she dropped the passerby's mobile phone at that time, the business card she left behind was from Jiguang Temple at home.

"Do you sense something is wrong?"

But it doesn't sound like my father made the call because of a cell phone claim.

"It seemed like there was last night, but it was normal to wake up this morning."

"You need to come back to the temple, now."

After the father and daughter ended the call, Tsurumi Aoi changed the destination of the trip, asked for leave from the school, and went directly to Ibaraki Prefecture.

Ibaraki Prefecture.

The Yoshikoji Temple, which is run by the Tsurumi family, is located in a secluded place near Kaiwei.

Tsurumi Aoi took a taxi straight from the train station and returned home.

Her father was in the reception room talking to two strangers, a man and a woman, both in their thirties.

Tuk tuk.

Tsurumi knocked lightly on the open door of the reception room.

"Aoi-chan, you're back, these two are Mr. Momose and Ms. Yamano from the countermeasure room."

Tsurumi Aoi's father, who should now be called Tsurumi Chishin.

After all, he inherited the temple of the Tsurumi family, so he naturally wanted to change the woman's surname.

"Gui'an."

After Tsurumi Aoi bowed seriously, he knelt down and sat down beside his father.

"Mr. Momose, ...... Aoi-chan?" Chishin Tsurumi asked the man in the suit.

This Mr. Momose is an expert in the field of curses in the countermeasure room.

He first looked at Tsurumi Aoi carefully, and then directly lit a pillar of incense in the reception room.

A few minutes passed, and Mr. Momose nodded: "Ling Qianjin does have traces of the remnants of the eight-point curse on her body, but it is no longer in the way. ”

This is normal.

In fact, since last night, the victims of the eight-point curse have all been free from the effects of the curse at the same time.

Among them is Harumi Tsuruda, who was rescued from the Otemachi platform.

It's the same with Tsurumi Aoi's side.

And because she is the daughter of Jiguang Temple after all, when the countermeasures room knew that Tsurumi Aoi was also likely to be affected by the eight-point curse, it was natural to symbolically send someone over to care for it.

That's why Momase and Yamano, who represent the countermeasure room, come to visit Yoshikoji instead of going directly to Tsurumi Aoi himself.

In addition, all the victims of the eight-point curse, although now back to normal. But the subsequent effects of the curse on their psychology and interpersonal relationships may still exist for a long time.

However, the time of Tsurumi Aoi's mantra is very short, only one night, and the "sequelae" in this regard is almost zero.

"That's good." Tsurumi Chinobu breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Mr. Momose and Ms. Yamano, for your hard work." ”

"You don't have to thank us, we're just running errands. It was the ghost disciple who solved this curse incident. ”

Momose said.

The credit of the ghost god disciple Kamiyagawa, no one in the countermeasures room dared to be greedy.

"Ah, do you mean that Kamiyagawa? It's really a hero out of a teenager. "I heard that he is not yet twenty years old. ”

Then, the conversation in the reception room turned to praise for the ghost disciple.

This kind of thing is also quite common in the soul slayer industry.

"Ghost God Disciple, Kamiyagawa?"

Tsurumi Aoi sat beside her father and listened quietly to the conversation of the adults.

She is not a soul eliminator, because her affinity for magic is too low to learn the family spirit removal technique, and it is difficult to say whether she can inherit the family's mantle in the future.

Therefore, in addition to the things in the spirit industry, Tsurumi Aoi knows relatively little because he has never been involved, but the name of "ghost and god disciple" seems to have been vaguely heard.

It is said that he suddenly appeared in Tokyo in recent years and was a genius boy who studied under the ghost gods.

He has participated in many major events in the spirit removal industry, and his strength is obvious to all in the industry.

Mr. Momose: "Speaking of which, that ghost disciple is also proficient in the Tai Sword Technique of Self-Manifestation Flow, and you are considered to be from the same school as Mr. Tsurumi." ”

Tsurumi Chishin: "Me? To tell you the truth, I've been too unfamiliar with the practice of self-manifestation. Even when I was young, I couldn't touch the threshold of silk fighting skills, and it was too shameful for me to say that I was a fellow disciple of the ghost god. ”

The atmosphere in the reception room was a little chilly.

The adults then greeted each other for a while, and the purpose of Momotse and Yamano's trip had been achieved, so they said goodbye and left.

The father and daughter of the Tsurumi family sent them to the gate of the temple.

After the guests left, Tsurumi Chinobu's originally smiling expression changed a little, and he became a little lonely.

As I said in the casual conversation just now, the Black Palace family where Tsurumi knew that he was stretched out was actually a family that had been passed down from the house.

The self-manifesting swordsmanship inherited by the Black Palace family, after practicing to the realm of mastering "silk fighting", it can be regarded as a preliminary sword entry into the extraordinary.

A swordsman who can use silk fighting, with a fairly good soul-removing weapon, has the possibility of retreating in the face of strange talks.

However, unlike the Tsurumi family that was wide in the ancestors, the Black Palace family has always been a third-rate level.

There have never been any famous soul slayers.

After all, it is too difficult to train one's own combat skills, and then rely only on the physical mortal body to fight hand-to-hand and fight with strange abilities.

And the realm of "silk fighting" is not so easy to cross.

Take Tsurumi Chishin as an example, in fact, he is still a bit talented in kendo. If it weren't for the fact that he joined the Tsurumi family when he was young and became a mage, he would have been practicing kendo, and he might not have had the opportunity to comprehend the art of silk fighting until now.

The value for money and return is simply too low.

How to say it, the mage may really be nobler than the warrior.

After Tsurumi Zhishen entered the Tsurumi family, he also learned some blessing magic techniques, but because he was a monk halfway, he only learned a fur.

And now that his wife has passed away, it is already difficult for him to support the operation of Jiguang Temple on his own.

He felt very sorry for his deceased wife.

After him, his wife's inheritance may be completely declining.

Jiguang Temple really can't see the future.

Unless...... Recruit a son-in-law with a higher talent for magic to his daughter Aoi.

However, Tsurumi Chishin felt that he was already sorry for his wife and couldn't be sorry for his daughter anymore. He himself is also free to love, and there is really no reason to tie his daughter's marriage to the future of Jiguang Temple.

Thinking about it this way, Tsurumi's brow furrowed even tighter.

Later, he heard Aoi call him, "Daddy." ”

"Huh?" Tsurumi came back to his senses.

"That ghost and god disciple, is he a descendant of the self-manifesting stream?"

It's the first time I've heard of this statement.

Because she has no talent for learning magic, she has been following her uncle to learn the Taidao technique of self-manifestation.

Tsurumi Aoi has been prone to collisions since he was a child, and although he has been blessed by the blessed gods and has never encountered real danger, he has worked hard to practice the Self-Manifestation Stream Tai Sword, so as to increase the possibility of taking the initiative to protect himself.

Tsurumi Aoi can't learn the magic handed down by the family, who knows if the blessing of the Great Black Sky will suddenly not work one day?

"Hmm." Facing his daughter's question, the father in the monk's robe nodded, "It is said that he can freely perform 'Yunyao'. ”

Yunyao.

It only exists in legends, and the ultimate meaning of the self-revealing Liutai Sword.

Those who can perform this kind of Taidao technique are already out of the realm of normal human beings, no matter how they think about it.

But if that famous ghost god disciple, considering that he studied under the ghost god, combined with his deeds in recent years...... That's probably true.

"Oh."

Tsurumi Aoi replied in a muffled voice.

Curses, disciples of ghosts and gods, and the mysteries of Yun Yao's swordsmanship......

She suddenly thought that the scene she had seen in her dream last night would have something to do with that genius soul slayer?

But there is no way to prove this.

Tsurumi Aoi felt that it was impossible for him to be related to such a big man in the future.

The father and daughter stood at the door of Jiguang Temple, and both fell into a brief silence.

The relationship between their father and daughter is not discordant, but after the death of Tsurumi's mother, there are few topics that father and daughter can talk about.

Half ringing.

"Aoi, now that you're back, let's go and pay a visit to Daikokuten-sama. Then, worship your mother again. ”

"Okay."

The statue of the god Daikokuten, which is enshrined at the Tsurumi family temple, is different from the image of other temples.

In Japan, the image of Daikokuten is generally holding a mallet, carrying a huge treasure bag on his shoulders, with a wide and fat body, gentle and honest, and always happy.

The main thing is to embody the side of the god of good fortune and the god of wealth.

But the Daikokuten, which is enshrined by the Tsurumi family, is closer to the image of Hinduism and Tantra.

The statue of Daikoku in Jiguang Temple is a six-armed consummate Daikotian, the statue of the god is transparent and blue, standing posture, the right leg is bent, the left leg is extended, and there is a flame backlight behind the main figure. It is hung with a large rosary of human skulls and wears a crown of five skulls. The top of the head is tied with a snake, and there is a large flower snake hanging down from the neck, and the wrists and ankle bones are also wrapped around the yellow and white snakes.

The middle two hands are placed in front of the chest, the left human bone bowl, and the right moon-shaped knife.

The other four hands are separated, and the upper pair holds a human bone rosary in his right hand and a trident in his left hand, indicating that he wants to pierce the heavens and the earth. These two hands also open an elephant skin at the same time, indicating the expulsion of ignorance.

The lower pair holds a tambourine in his right hand to summon the banshee and subdue it; Holding a rope in the left hand, with a vajra at one end and a hook at the other, it means to hook all demons.

In short, it is fierce and vicious.

This is another side of Daikokuten in addition to the image of the god of good fortune-

He is the fierce god of war, the god of wrath.

Although it is only the position of the protector of the Dharma is not high. But as the embodiment of Shiva, Daikokuten is also a very capable god in Hinduism.

Tsurumi Aoi put incense on the six-armed Daikokuten statue at home, and clapped his hands three times in front of the statue. Then she went to the cemetery, where her mother was buried......

……

A few days later, permanently.

Kamiyagawa returned to the Hanazu School from the Fu mourning village where the craftsmen worked.

He went to see what was going on with the Craftsman Monsters right now.

Overall very good -

The candle-making monk already has a few apprentices to help with it.

At the beginning, the tofu monk in his own territory, and later after the great rivers and mountains were included in the territory, he joined the lantern monk and the sleeve-pulling monk over there.

The apprentices of candle-making monks are all small monks, and they are also more clever, and they are handy in learning candle-making skills.

At present, these apprentices can already share some small tasks in the process of making requiem candles for the candle-making monks.

I believe that in the future, under the leadership of the "workshop director" of the candle-making monk, Gao Tianyuan will have a "small bald assembly line" with a clear division of labor.

The efficiency of making candles is bound to be greatly improved!

As for Sister Jue, she is more picky about her apprentices.

Although there are some ghost clans who have mastered the construction skills of the stone bear boy on the other side of the river, Jue only selected a few of them with strong talent to stay by his side.

Others were assigned to various places to participate in guiding the construction of the territory.

Also, the apprentice who was most favored by Sister Jue was the forging lady who had just joined the High Heaven Yuan forces some time ago.

Jue regarded this silent wolf demon Furui as his own disciple.

After cultivating the disciples of the family, it will probably be necessary for the forging to tour around to guide various craft skills, and Jue himself is still mainly serving the Kamiya River, and the commissions of the ghost and god co-masters are more troublesome than one by one, and they still have to be completed by Jue himself, and there will be no mistakes.

Finally, there is the mother-in-law who sells her feet, she is not very active in Fu Funeral Township, and Kamiya did not see her on this trip.

The mother-in-law who sells her feet who specializes in flesh and blood skills walks the "inspiration school", focusing on a "I can do this by thinking", so I can't sum up the systematic experience to accept apprentices for the time being.

Moreover, I heard that she has been busy picking up the arm of Captain Shikijiro of Aokihara for the past two days, and it seems that she has entrusted the Golden Bear Boy to help through Isohime, and she will go to various territories around to find arms with a stronger degree of flesh and blood and no rational hostile monsters......

Kamiya doesn't care much about these behaviors that are not harmful to the interests of the forces spontaneously initiated by the strange talkers, anyway, as long as everyone can work well.

This trip out of Fu Fu's hometown, Kamiya also brought back two things from Jue-

The first is the shrine of the Utengu.

The shrine of Tengu is a fusion of the Ainu hero gods and the authority of the martial gods.

The direction of the shrine is combat, weapon skills, and heroes, which are a good match for the Utengu.

And the same has two positions from God.

Relatively speaking, the general-purpose type of Tengu Shrine is not bad, and the strange stories that are good at melee can basically enter and divide beliefs. Although it is not as good as the shrine of the little tapir, the shrine of the dream-eating tapir with fear and terrifying authority is a versatile panacea, and it is suitable for whatever strange talk should be from the gods.

In addition, because of the inheritance of the Ainu hero gods, the rate at which Utengu Shrine acquires the root earth faith is significantly higher than that of other Shintoshiki shrines.

The Ainu side is his hometown, after all.

Although the Uttengu Shrine does not need to worry about the source of faith for the time being, Kamiya has always been fair.

In the future, Genie Animation Studio will also run for him.

Mary's success has shown that the whole world can be seen as an extremely rich source of faith. If you can use cultural output to win a large number of beliefs in reality, it means that you are not far from breaking through the A-level.

Of course, you'll have to queue up for this......

There are so many gods waiting.

Moreover, to tailor a popular and popular drama or animated movie, it is not an overnight thing.

The writer Mr. Miyake is busy, and the keyboard has to type out the sparks.

In addition to the Uttengu Shrine, another thing that I got back from Satoru was Nanquan Ichimon.

After getting the boy Che Angang as the main weapon, the text that has accompanied Kamiya for a long time can be regarded as having completed its historical mission.

Tong Ziche's attributes are far stronger than a word, and this old guy is almost ready to retire, so Kamiyagawa asked Sister Jue to extract the battle ashes above.

As for the text itself, you may want to consider taking it to the Kuronomiya Kendo Hall in Mito to see if you can complete the task given by the red ghost teacher two years ago. (End of chapter)
