Chapter Twenty-Four: All Ghosts
Who are the ghosts?
Not me anyway.
Kitahara Shu quickly poked his finger at the phone screen, recalling the two ghost stories just now.
The core of the Ronin's story is that he saw the funeral boat that should have sunk in the Ghost Mother River a long time ago, which is a "I saw the hell" story, and the Ronin himself is more like an outsider and has nothing to do with the story at all.
The story of the samurai is much more complicated, from the jailer to the accompanying samurai, and then followed the lord on the expedition, but unexpectedly angered the ghost god on the sword mountain, and finally the entire ship was wiped out, and people ate people, leaving him to return to Okuno Castle to pay tribute to those dead companions, and endure the inner torment day and night.
This story has elements of "what the hell I saw", as well as some elements of curiosity, and interestingly, after listening to this story, Kitahara Shu focused on the ending.
The samurai hung white lanterns on the ferry, and paid tribute to their dead companions day and night.
In the story of the ronin, the helpers and guests on the docks have never seen such a funeral ship.
The two of them have an intersection in the timing of the story, which is very strange.
Someone is lying, or sheer is making up a story.
After thinking about it again and again, there is no foresight of the future, and Kitahara Shu is not sure of the correct answer, [Hundred Ghosts Night Walking] This word game likes to play some "word games" with players, and the plot text is very deceptive, and it is not easy to believe the literal meaning.
Just when Kitahara Shu was struggling with who to choose, the [Descendant of the Sword Bearer's Bloodline Talent Effect was triggered!] 】
[As a highly alert psychic, you realize that the other three people on the ship seem to have problems.] Your sense of smell tells you that the "Jade Fireworks Fire" is filled with the smell of ghosts and gods, and there is definitely more than one ghost and god. 】
[Instead of answering the old boatman's question, you asked him a question.] 】
[We all told our own ghost stories, but what about you, your story?] 】
[The old boatman takes a deep look at you, and the ronin and samurai sit down next to you, hoping that he will also tell you a ghost story for you to hear.] 】
[Seventeen years ago, he was a capable fisherman in the prime of life, just turning thirty, working on the docks of Okuno Castle, loading and unloading goods, and going out to sea to fish. On a sunny morning, he met a beautiful and delicate young woman in kimono, and the two fell in love at first sight. 】
[He was fascinated by the beauty and gentleness of the young woman in kimono, and the other party was also fascinated by his strong and powerful body, and they had private meetings night and night, on the docks, in the river, at home, in the mountains, in any place where there were only the two of them. 】
[She brought him pleasure that he had never had, and he also brought her happiness that he had never had. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and a year later, the young woman in kimono panicked and told him that she was pregnant, and if her husband knew about it, she would definitely be beaten to death. 】
Tsk, telling such a story of cheating and cheating, Kitahara Shu complained in his heart, thinking that you, the boatman, are really not a good bird.
In the Heian period, the most difficult thing to cross was class.
At first glance, the young woman in kimono is a lady and lady of a large family, and her status is very different from that of a boatman.
There are a lot of stories about this kind of affair in ancient novels, and they all like to write the love story of a poor boy and a rich girl, but in real reality, once this kind of thing is discovered, it will be a catastrophe for both of them.
How can it be so beautiful as depicted in the story.
[What frightened the fisherman even more was that her husband was none other than the only lord of the highest lord, the most senior Yoshiji. 】
Kitahara Shu gave the elderly boatman a thumbs up.
Good guy, this is a big green hat for the top collar.
[In order to prevent being discovered by Lord Mogami Yoshiji, the two decisively temporarily cut off contact, and after that, the fisherman's life returned to peace, he missed his lover, but there was no chance to see each other again, a year later, I heard that the wife of Mogami Yoshiji, His Royal Highness Edako, gave birth to a lovely daughter, and for this reason, Lord Mogami Yoshiji pardoned Mogami and celebrated for seven days and seven nights. 】
[She was the first beauty who later became famous in Aomori County, and the most beautiful fireworks. 】
Kitahara Shu remembers mentioning this eldest lady when she read the introductory text of "Jade Hanabi" before, and last year, she was suddenly imprisoned by Mogami Yoshiji in the Black Prison Prison in Okuno Castle.
This has been discovered.
[A year ago, in order to make a golden sword for His Royal Highness Yakuko Fujiwara, Lord Yoshiji Mogami led an army to defeat Kurosaki, and the mansion of the Mogami family was empty, and only the servants and women remained, and the fisherman realized that this was the best opportunity to meet his loved one. 】
[But Mogami's mansion was heavily guarded, and the fisherman couldn't get close to it at all, so he struggled to get in touch with the branch who was guarding the empty house alone, and it happened that a ferry boat that had gone out on the expedition unexpectedly returned to Oku-no-jo, and no one dared to approach it, day and night, it was always hung with white lanterns, and no one dared to approach. 】
[The two had a tryst on the funeral ship, and in order to avoid being discovered, they would sneak the boat away at night, and then return to the dock near daylight.] Unexpectedly, this incident was still seen. 】
[There is a ronin on the docks who keeps asking about the origin of the ship, and the only returning samurai on board notices this, and one of their trysts is broken by him.] 】
[The samurai threatens to inform Yoshiji Mogami about this, who is about to return from the expedition, unless Lady Edeko is willing to serve him for one night.] 】
[Edako and the fisherman reluctantly agreed, but after one night, he asked for another night, night after night, night after night, and the insatiable samurai, who were so hungry, even began to secretly go to the mansion to threaten Lady Edako. Once, when he saw Miss Hanabi, who had just come of age, he began to threaten Mrs. Kodji to accompany him. 】
Wait, it was originally a touching love story, why did it suddenly change its style and become a perverted story of scum?
In this Heian period, the country of reeds, there is no normal story?
Kitahara Shu was stunned by this intricate plot!
The story doesn't end there.
[The fisherman who learned of this was furious, and he would never allow the samurai to defile his only daughter. Armed with a hook and a scythe, and with the help of a well-connected ronin, he also infiltrated Mogami's mansion and successfully teamed up with Kodko to kill the samurai, dissecting him and making him into bait. 】
[The ronin who unexpectedly witnessed all this inadvertently saw the most beautiful Hanabi, and he was deeply impressed by Miss Hanabi's beauty. Soon after, Mogami Yoshiji returned triumphantly, accompanied by His Royal Highness Yakuko Fujiwara! At the celebratory banquet, the ronin suddenly breaks in and informs Mogami Yoshiji of these things. 】
[Mogami Yoshiji lost face in front of everyone, and in a fit of rage, he drew his sword on the spot, called a branch and a firework, and broke the fisherman's body into ten thousand pieces in front of them, and fed the pieces of the corpse to the wolf dog raised by His Royal Highness Yakuko Fujiwara. After catching a glimpse of Mogami Hanabi's beautiful face, Fujiwara Yakuko also fell, and she asked to take Hanabi away, but Mogami Yoshiji, who loved her daughter deeply, refused, under the pretext that she would give Hanabi, who was sixteen years old and the best age, to Yakuko-sama. 】
[Fujiwara Yakuko is willing to wait for this year. After she left, Mogami Hanako was imprisoned by her father in the innermost layer of the Black Prison Prison, never to see the light of day again. After seeing the body of his loved one being dismembered, Zhizi went crazy directly, and one day, he disappeared into the Mogami Mansion. 】
[The informant ronin did not get the wealth he wanted, and was pierced by the angry Mogami Yoshiji, planted on the flagpole to show the public, and was still hanging at the gate of Okuno Castle. 】
[The imprisoned Mogami Hanako is waiting for someone to kill her cruel and cold-blooded father and save her, she loves to hear ghost stories, because she thinks that only the omnipotent, terrifying ghost god can kill Mogami Yoshiji.] 】
[On the "Jade Fireworks", the ghosts of the three of them have been wandering, and their resentment and hatred have been accumulating, turning into ghosts and gods to serve the most beautiful fireworks. 】
[The old boatman enslaves the samurai and ronin, buys ghost stories from every passenger who boards the ship, and looks for traces of powerful ghosts.] 】
You are the first to ask about his own story, the psychic. 】
[The ronin's body began to crack from the middle, like bacon split in two, the samurai's body was shattered inch by inch, without a complete form, and the sword on his body was tightly pinched by the meat ball, and walked towards you. 】
[The old boatman laughs.] 】
[This is my ghost story, Your Excellency the Psychic, are you still satisfied?] 】
I'm satisfied!
Kitahara Xiu's national scolding in his previous life was about to blurt out.
It is worthy of the bloodline talent of the descendant of the sword wielder, and the probability of triggering ghost and god events has been slightly increased, and three ghosts and gods have been directly arranged for him, right?
