Chapter 11 うぶけや
"If you want to buy souvenirs, why don't you go now? I think the task that sister gave you is more important. ”
It's a knife and a souvenir, and Hakuba Shino begins to wonder if the address on this business card is a place that sells samurai swords, right?
Speaking of which, I heard Shiratori Ling say on the plane that among the five major families of the Juhe Society, there is a spirit sword flowing Shiratori, could it be the same? But the Juai Association is based on Genji, if Shiratori Ling is really a member of the Shiratori family, one of the five major families, Genase Jing will not be so respectful to her, right?
"I'm here to find out Xiaoling's life experience, and everything has to be sidelined. Besides, isn't it just going to Sensoji Temple to donate a ring, why is there such a hurry?"
As for the purpose of donating the ring, Ji Keyan couldn't say what the purpose was, so it was difficult to continue arguing with him, but she believed that the purpose was never to pray to God and worship Buddha, and it was likely that it had some special meaning for the Kimura family and even the entire Juhe Association.
"Is your fiancée Japanese?" Speaking of which, Ji Keyan still doesn't know Shiratori Ling's full name, "What is her full name?"
"White Bird Feather. ”
"White Bird Ling?!" Ji Keyan suddenly shouted excitedly, and the driver didn't know if he was frightened, he suddenly slammed the direction, the car shook violently, and everyone was thrown aside, only to be hit right again in an instant, and almost had an accident.
The driver quickly apologized in Japanese, but they didn't bother to think about it at the time, and Hakuma Shino complained, "Why are you so nervous? You know her, and you weren't born when she disappeared, right?"
"Nonsense, of course I don't know. Ji Keyan sorted out her gaffe and continued, "She used to be a member of the Fengwang Society, but she disappeared more than thirty years ago, and she ...... with the entire Fengwang Society."
"Fengwang Society, what is that?" This was the first time he had heard of this organization, and he had a further understanding of Shiraiya Ling.
"Fengwang Club was established in 1985 by Bai Makui, the president of Phoenix University at that time, and gathered the most elite spirits of Phoenix University at that time. And Shiratori Ling is one of them, and she is also the daughter of Shiratori childish. In fact, when I first saw her red school uniform jacket, I felt familiar, this is the exclusive school uniform of Fengwang Society. Ji Keyan's voice was slightly excited, as if he was very interested in this organization back then.
Bai Ma Xiao and Bai Bird Ling glanced at each other and confirmed their eyes, she really didn't think of anything, so she continued to ask, "It looks like a very powerful organization, so why did it disappear later?"
"This ...... No one knows the specific situation, and there are almost no students who know about the Fengwang Club now, and the teachers are also secretive about it, and I still heard the seniors of Fez mention it. In fact, the lifespan of the Fengwang Society was only one year, if it weren't for the fact that it had gathered almost half of the elite power in the spirit world at that time, such a short lifespan might have been forgotten long ago. ”
One year ...... 1985 plus one, 1986 again......?" Bai Makui's death has something to do with this?"
"That's right, at that time, almost all the members, including Hakumakui, were wiped out, to be precise, all of them were missing, and none of them came back, except for Kimura Masao. ”
"Wait a minute!Kimura Masao?!" Qiuxue's father, that boss?!, Hakuma Xiao was speechless in shock, no wonder that boss's spiritual power was so strong, he was actually a member of the Fengwang Society, that is to say, the operation that Iori said in 1986 when Kimura Masao and Shiratori Ling disappeared together was an operation of the Fengwang Society, and in that operation, the Fengwang Society was completely wiped out, including the headmaster at the time, Bai Makui. "What the hell is that action?"
"This ...... It is classified as a top-secret file in Fez, and even the Banner Master cannot read it without the consent of UG. Moreover, only Masao Kimura survived that operation, but he quickly broke away from the spirit world, and according to the "World Spirit Pact" formulated by UG, a spirit can retire after paying for all his sins, and at that time, nothing in the spirit world has anything to do with him, and no spirit can disturb him. Basically, the retiring spirit is a member of the living world, so what happened in that operation, maybe even UG doesn't know. ”
Bai Maxiao now just wants to rush back to Wuxi, grab the neck of the boss of Kimura, and force him to tell all the things that happened back then, which is like a situation when reading a novel and encountering a pit that cannot be filled, and he can't help his inner curiosity.
Maybe Hakuma Xiao is not the only spirit with this idea, and it is estimated that the mood of the whole UG is the same as his.
Thinking about it this way, Bai Makui's disrepute may also be because of that incident, after all, he led the entire Fengwang Society to play missing, and the loss was too great for the spirit world.
"By the way, you white bird feathers ......"
"If there are no accidents, it's the one you know. She also lost her memory 34 years ago in 1986, and I don't believe it could be a coincidence in terms of year. "Moreover, Shiratori Ling was also recommended by the boss of Kimura, these two must know each other, and both of them are members of the Fengwang Society, which is certainly not a coincidence. "Anyway, when you get to this place, you should know the answer. ”
Ji Keyan didn't speak again, she was even a little glad that he chose to explore Bai Bird Ling's life story first, because she also wanted to know the answer to this unsolved mystery for more than thirty years.
Now, all three of them are waiting for the arrival of their destination with great anticipation.
After driving for a while, the taxi came to the bustling downtown area of Tokyo, and even at noon, the streets were full of people, and I heard that Tokyo was very densely populated, and you could see from the flow of people on the streets.
The car drove on a bridge that looked very ancient, and there was a bronze sculpture on the bridge, and when driving over the bridge, Bai Maxiao saw a bronze beast sculpture with wings open at the head of the bridge, which was very exquisite.
He involuntarily began to ask questions, looking at his appearance, the driver was very enthusiastic to introduce, Ji Keyan on the side didn't want to talk to Hakuma Shino more, but listening to the driver so enthusiastic, if you don't help him translate, it would be too embarrassing, so he explained, "This is 'Nihonbashi', is a very famous bridge in Japan, was built in 1603, during which it has been renovated and repaired more than a dozen times, and now this is the 19th generation of Nihonbashi, completed at the end of the last century." ”
Bai Ma Xiao listened with interest, and looked at Bai Bird Ling from time to time, but found that she was not interested, and couldn't help but feel a sense of loss: it seemed that she was not impressed at all. He was now a little worried that even if he reached his destination later, it would be in vain.
After crossing Nihonbashi, you will soon come to Ningyomachi, a bustling pedestrian street lined with old shops, including the "うぶけや".
After getting out of the car, Bai Ma Xiao realized that he needed to pay yen, fortunately, Fez is a very professional organization, since he came to Japan on a business trip, Ji Keyan of course prepared yen in advance, Bai Ma Xiao was very glad to have her with him, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to pay the fare.
Perhaps it should be said that Mo Ran was thoughtful and thought of sending someone to use as his wallet - although this was definitely not Mo Ran's original intention.
This is really a shop that sells knives, but it's not the kind of place that sells knives as Bai Maxiao thinks, the window outside the store displays some scissors, knives, kitchen knives and other life knives, the store is not big, but it can be seen that it is a very old shop, of course, it does not mean that it is shabby, but the shape is very antique, there is a plaque hanging on the door of the store, which reads "うぶけや", although I can't understand it, but Bai Maxiao carefully checked what was written on the business card, and walked in after confirming that it was completely consistent.
This shop looks very small from the outside, and when you go in, you find that it is even smaller, with only two counters, and the counters are full of open, very exquisite knife boxes, and there are delicate knives lying inside, although they are all common knives in some small stalls in China, but they always give people a very formal sense of ceremony, as if this is a knife used by the aristocracy.
There was only one gray-haired old man in the shop, and a poker face typical of Japanese samurai made Hakuba Shino feel a sense of non-anger and self-authority, which made him feel that this old man must have been a samurai or something when he was young.
"Welcome. The old man said lightly.
Bai Maxiao understood this sentence and responded with a sentence of "Aligado." ”
Ji Keyan sneered, "It's too embarrassing for you to use Japanese, although this word means thank you, but it's too formal, and Japanese people in daily life basically don't use it like this." It's almost like someone using the word 'gratitude' to express gratitude to you in your daily life, don't you feel twisted?
k you’。 ”
Bai Maxiao's face blushed into a big apple, he thought that this often heard word could be used casually as long as it meant this, but he didn't expect the meaning to be right, but it sounded very embarrassing.
Who knew that the old man actually smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, for us Japanese, although we can see that we are foreigners, we can understand and understand." ”
This old grandfather's Mandarin Chinese is so standard that Bai Maxiao has to wonder, "Are you Chinese?"
"Haha, I'm a native Japanese, just learned Chinese. I love Chinese culture. The old man's tense face suddenly relaxed, completely different from the poker face when he first entered the door, which made Bai Maxiao believe that what he said about liking Chinese culture was absolutely from the heart, and it was hard to imagine that if it was a Japanese who came in, he would have kept a straight face.
"So, what knives would you like to buy? You will choose a small shop like mine, probably because you know the history of this shop, the knives here are poured into the ancient Japanese knife casting technique, so to speak, you can also deal with the enemy called 'ryui' like a samurai in the kitchen. ”
I didn't see that this old man was still very talkative, Bai Maxiao unconsciously felt very kind, maybe businessmen are like this.
But he's not here to buy souvenirs. He took out the business card and handed it to the old man.
The shopkeeper looked at this very ordinary business card, "It seems that you were also introduced by a friend, so what knives do you want to buy?
This was different from what Bai Maxiao imagined, he thought that this business card was like an admission ticket, as soon as it appeared, he would immediately take him into a secret room, and then open a conversation between spirits.
I didn't expect this seemingly ordinary business card to be an ordinary business card.
"Boss, we want to buy that kind of knife. It's the kind that says on the back. Ji Keyan said suddenly, at this time, the shopkeeper held the business card, and from her point of view, she could clearly see the words written on the back of the business card, and instantly understood something.
The shopkeeper was slightly stunned, turned over the business card, and saw the "垪文のblade" written on the back, his face suddenly changed, and he unconsciously looked out a few times, and asked, "You guys...... Want to buy a curse blade?"
