Kamiyagawa's investigation of the Tsuchigomon family soon yielded certain results.

There are a lot of files and materials about this family in the countermeasure room.

According to the understanding, from the fifth generation of Abe Haruaki's descendants, it is difficult to have offspring.

Later, Abe Harumi's descendants thought that it might be some kind of curse that caused this to happen because of Harumaki's bloodline, so they changed their surname to Tuyumen.

After changing his surname, Abe Harumi's descendants can indeed reproduce normally.

Around the sixties of the last century, the Tsuchigomon family's Tsuchigomon Taifu officially established the dominance of Tsuchigomon Shinto in Japan at that time, and the Tsuchigomon family at that time was still a large family in Shintoism.

However, the good times did not last long, and according to the development of the world's modern history, the Western world opened the door of Japan with strong ships and artillery, and with it, Western trends of thought poured in.

As a result, the Meiji Restoration began, and the new government deprived the Tsugomon family of their monopoly on making "calendars" and abolished the Onmyodo. However, at that time, there were many side branches led by the Tugomon family, and secretly formed the "Tugomon Shinto Association".

According to the data, Juqiong Shrine, which now has a pivotal position in the countermeasure room, was also one of the side forces that supported the Tugomon family at that time.

It's just that Juqiong Shrine is not a relative of the Tuyumen family, and it was not conspicuous at the time.

As time progressed to the present, with the restoration of Shintoism, the dormant onmyoji in various places were reorganized and activated, and together with other transcendents with extraordinary powers, they were collectively called "soul slayers", and the current countermeasure room was established.

The police system is subordinate to the government, but it acts relatively independently.

The identities of the spirit masters have also changed from the front of the stage in the feudal period to the back of the scenes, and they continue to carry out the work of retreating from strange stories in modern society.

However, after decades of reshuffling and changes, the Tuyumen family is no longer majestic.

In today's soul slayer industry, it seems that there are no descendants of this family anymore.

The small number of Tsuchigomon clans that exist in Japan today are not the current power of soul slayers, and most of them live the lives of ordinary people.

This family, which originated from Abe Harumi, seems to have been completely separated from the Yin-Yang Dao.

"The complete decline of the Tsuchigomon family seems to have occurred during the period when Shinto was abolished after the Meiji Restoration. The specific situation is not mentioned in the information in the countermeasure room, and there is no detailed account of the Juqiong Shrine that was the same sect of the Tugomon Shinto at the time. ”

"Is it because the Tugomon family disappeared in the spiritual realm because they bore the brunt of the persecution after the Meiji Restoration, or is there something else hidden?"

Kamiyagawa, who has carefully looked through the information, understands more and the more confusion arises.

However, during the abolition of Shintoism, there were too few documents related to the Tsuchigomon family, and it is still unknown whether there were any hidden secrets that actually happened among them.

In addition, Kamiyagawa also found information related to the Tsuchigomon Mansion.

The location of the so-called Tsuchiomon House should be in Kyoto.

To the southeast of the current Onimon Gate in Kyoto, there is the former site of the Tsuchiomon Gate called the Sento Imperial Palace, which has been destroyed and rebuilt several times throughout history.

But the place Kamiya is looking for should not be there.

It is also southeast of Kyoto, about 20 kilometers from Kyoto Castle, where the former Tsuchigomon Taifu and his people lived and practiced there.

This is the so-called "Tsuchigomon Mansion".

The Sento Imperial Palace in Kyoto Castle was only a place where the Tugomon people carried out their secular activities at that time.

The Tsuchiomon Mansion, which is far away from the city, is said to be a mansion, but it is actually a village of a certain size that was built around the Tsuchigomon Mansion. However, after the Meiji Restoration, it seems that it has been completely destroyed.

It has not been rebuilt now, and the former site of the mansion has been hidden deep in the barren mountains.

"Twenty kilometers southeast of Kyoto, deep in the mountains, it seems that this is where the god of fate wants me to go."

After determining the location of the Tsuchigomon Mansion, Kamiyagawa did not rush to explore.

The things over there are related to the Tuyumen family, which is a little strange and in decline, and it is likely that there is also the fate of the god and the life of the Tiandian woman behind it.

Especially the life of Tiandian women.

This god has something to do with Granny Blind and Onizuka.

Although he is a little worried about the situation at Juqiong Shrine, Kamiya still understands the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it.

Mary was about to transform from an Aragami to a true god.

Be patient, wait for another twenty days or so, and wait for Mary to successfully complete the promotion before going to the Tuyumen Mansion to find out. At that time, even against the gods, they may not be without the strength to fight.

……

Kamiyagawa patiently passed for two weeks.

During this period, the development of Changshi was orderly.

At present, in the territory under the rule of Gao Tianyuan, the two regions that have attracted the most attention are Dajiangshan and Santuchuan.

The mermaid princess is in charge of the management and reconstruction of the big rivers and mountains.

Using the Kigetsu Train, Isohime planned to relocate some of the surviving aborigines of the Great River and Mountains, arranging for them to go to the Sea Country, the Ainu Root Land, and the Santu River. From the strange rumors in other regions under his rule, he selected some people who supported the rule of Dajiangshan and moved into Dajiangshan to participate in the reconstruction work.

This migration further peacefully divided the internal structure of the Great River.

In addition, there is also Crab Ji who is responsible for managing the security of Dajiangshan, and uses her big hammer to solve a small part of the friction problem.

In this way, Takamagahara's system reform in this monster city has also been carried out relatively smoothly and slowly.

In addition, Isohime has recently collected a few good weird talents from the big river and mountain side for co-ordination.

Like an abacus monk and a dice ghost, suitable for clerical work such as calculations, he has begun to act as a clerk under the mermaid princess, and initially formed an internal affairs team.

There is also the Santu River.

Kazuki is now the lord there, and the re-establishment of order in the Styx region is important for JK Enma.

To put it simply, the Santugawa River as a whole is the equivalent of the shrine of Kazuki, where the restoration of order is closely related to the absorption of her faith.

At first, there weren't many people available.

The first Yama Lord was poor and white, and his subordinates were the discordant Genji brothers, as well as a group of mizunko who were undergoing labor reform.

The territory is also in ruins.

Fortunately, Isohime dispatched a lot of strange people to her, and Sister Jue's side also provided advice and help for the construction of the Santu River, and Minamoto Yoritomo himself also has good management experience, and with this series of help, the current Kazuki has also officially launched the construction of the territory.

There's no need for Kamiyagawa to worry too much.

The affairs of the world can be handled by his subordinates, and Kamiya's activities during this time mainly revolve around reality.

He went to Juqiong Shrine twice more, and after seeing Granny Blind and Onizuka Kirita.

And I also took the time to visit Jiguang Temple.

Mr. Tsurumi from Yoshikoji Temple has already enshrined the newly made statue of Mary as agreed.

Of course, the Tsurumi family's current worship of Mary is not worldly, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is not known to outsiders.

For Kamiya, it was enough for Shinchi Tsurumi to get to this point.

He has never treated those who are oriented towards him badly.

So, rest assured, Mr. Tsurumi!

Your daughter, I raise her!

……

Kamiya's home.

The grounds are spacious and brightly lit in the basement.

Uproar——!

The bamboo sword in Tsurumi Aoi's hand slashed through a sharp and graceful half-arc, piercing the air and sending a slight tremor.

Very beautiful blow.

However, it was Kamiyagawa who fought against her, and such a swift attack was easily blocked by him.

Syllable!

The clashing of weapons was fierce and short.

After the blade exchange, even the bamboo sword in Tsurumi's hand was shocked and flew away.

If the swordsman's weapon is taken off, it means defeat.

"The breathing and swinging of the sword are not smooth enough, and your final swing is too impetuous. The heart is confused, and the sword is slow. ”

Kamiyagawa lowered the bamboo sword in his hand and pointed out the shortcomings of the apprentice's practice just now.

"I see, teacher."

Tsurumi Aoi will lower his head, his gaze falling on his bare toes, and the ponytail tied high behind his head swaying listlessly, like a puppy who has only been reprimanded by his master for making a mistake.

"Don't be so frustrated, you've made a lot of progress lately."

Seeing the pitiful appearance of the apprentice, Kamiyagawa comforted him.

In fact, it's not a consolation, after learning the breath of Ayu, Tsurumi Aoi's kendo skills have indeed improved significantly.

However, maybe she doesn't have much of a real sense of it.

After all, her sparring with Kamiyagawa still couldn't last a few rounds.

Perhaps, she has to find some suitable opponent for the little apprentice to consolidate her self-confidence.

Thinking like this, Kamiyagawa spoke, "Tsurumi, that's all for today's practice. You go take a shower, and then come to the living room to find me. ”

"Okay."

Tsurumi Aoi silently packed up the bamboo sword, and then went to the bathroom on the first floor with a change of clothes with ease.

After about twenty minutes, Tsurumi changed into dry clothes, his hair was slightly wet, and he walked into the living room with the smell of heat.

Although she brought her own clothes, there were also bath towels for the little apprentices in the bathroom on the first floor.

However, the toiletries used by Tsurumi are still the ones that are commonly used by the deer.

Maybe Xiaolu's dog nose can still tell the smell on her and her junior sister is different, but for Kamiyagawa, as long as they take a bath, the two apprentices smell the same.

Seeing the apprentice come in, Kamiyagawa, who was sitting in the living room and took time to read the documents of the Tuyumen family, stood up: "Tsurumi, go out with me, and add a special training tonight." ”

Of course, Tsurumi Aoi has no objections to Kamiya-sensei's arrangement.

The master and apprentice went to Hualing High School together.

It was already night, and they arrived at the school's unoccupied playground in a ghost car.

"Tsurumi, come down, I asked Satoru to control the camera here in advance."

Kamiya got out of the car and greeted the apprentice like this.

Tsurumi Aoi got off the ghost car with Takayama Mao of the hearse group, and then Toshima Oishi on the car kicked the accelerator and crashed into a wave of spatial ripples and turmoil, disappearing.

"Kamiya-sensei, we ......"

Tsurumi looked around, and the empty playground was silent.

She noticed that Kamiya-sensei seemed to have a soft spot for Hanasuzu High School, and had already brought herself here more than once.

And the little apprentice also learned that this is the teacher's alma mater.

Thinking that Kamiyagawa had spent three years of high school here, Tsurumi Aoi inexplicably felt a little involved in his past, and then thought of the secrets and hearts of each other that she had shared with her teacher before, and her heartbeat unconsciously accelerated a little.

Obviously, the momentum for self-confession is still there.

And it's not small.

Kamiyagawa could keenly feel the little apprentice's breathing being slightly disturbed, but he didn't know what was going on in the head of the silent "little dog" who had already initially shown loyalty.

According to his original thoughts, he groped out the text of Nanquan from the [Mirage Cloth Bag] and handed it to the apprentice: "Take this, Tsurumi." ”

Tsurumi Aoi raised his hand, and took the knife a little dazed.

And the moment she touched a word, the blade of a word, which was originally indigo and as clear as spring water, actually bloomed with a crimson shimmer.

"Oh?"

This change was unexpected by Kamiyagawa.

"Wait a minute." He retouched a text.

Buzz –

The phone vibrates.

[Item Name: Nanquan Ichi Text Change]

[Quality: Legendary]

[Effect: Red Oni, a sword-wielder with the bloodline of the left guard of the Kuromiya activates this effect.] Use the heroic bloodline to increase the strength and mobility of the sword-wielding flesh to a certain extent. ]

[Description: One word for one day, one blade for one morning and dusk.] Cast in Nanquan Temple, a famous knife, and by the craftsman to transform and upgrade, the blade is clear, sharpened iron like clay. The saber held by the left guard of the Black Palace, the blade is in the direction of the blade, and the shadow protects the descendants. ]

Kamiyagawa glanced at the phone screen directly in front of Tsurumi Aoi, but naturally did not let the apprentice see the content of the phone.

Tsurumi's attention at this time was also completely on the text: "Teacher, this sword?" ”

She felt an indescribable intimacy in this strange sword.

"It's perfect for you."

Originally, it was something from the Black Palace family, and Kamiya had long planned to find a time to transfer it to the little apprentice.

Now that Yoshikoji Temple has begun to worship Mary, taking this opportunity to change hands can be seen as a reward for Tsurumi Shinchi's willingness to cooperate.

I just didn't expect that there was a hidden effect on this knife, which could only be stimulated when the descendants of the Black Palace family held it.

Holding a knife increases the strength of flesh...... What an exoskeleton.

The unique effect of the descendants of the Black Palace bloodline that was activated in Nanquan Yi's text, Kamiyagawa probably can't use it, and with his flesh and blood strength now approaching Aragami, this level of enhancement is not very practical.

Although they all have legendary ratings, there are also high and low legendary blades, and the strength of the ghost cut and the boy cut must be above the same word.

According to the previous actual combat experience, Yiwen still looked a little fragile in front of these two famous ghost swords.

But it's just right for Tsurumi.

It's still a martial artist.

"Grab it, and—" Kamiyagawa glanced at Mao Takayama, who was standing quietly waiting for orders, "Get ready for the actual battle." ”

"Actual combat?"

Tsurumi hasn't reacted yet.

Only the roar of the engine was heard, and the ghost car, which had disappeared, slammed out from the side of the playground, and the headlights pierced the darkness brightly.

"Wuhu!"

Toshima Oishi on the cab let out a roar of excitement, and the door in the back of the ghost car slammed open.

The reins of the hanged man were thrown out of the car, and the knots on the hemp rope creaked and unfolded, and they rolled down to the car with the rough ropes, and there were two happy boys.

"Woo."

"Hee-hee."

The headless low-level stranger cried and laughed, writhing his body in a strange posture, almost tendon-clamping, and stood up from the ground.

This is the actual opponent that Kamiyagawa found for his little apprentice.

It's really not that the ghosts and gods are small-minded.

Two years ago, I was beaten all over the ground by Xiqi Boy in the novice village, and I didn't care about it for a long time!

The main thing is that this kind of monster is too suitable for sparring.

Weak at the same time, it is also very violent, has no head and cannot communicate, and will only attack non-species with its killing instinct.

It's vegetable and fierce, and it's generated quickly.

It's the sandbag of choice. (End of chapter)
