Looking at Yuzao, the divine master suddenly appeared in a flash of light: "Jingongji! When I heard this surname before, I thought it was the Jingongji that sells high-end suits. Could it be that it was actually the Jingongji that sells wagashi? "
Wait, Kazuma is surprised to think, there is another Jinguji that sells high-end suits?
Tamamo nodded: "It's the one that sells wagashi."
"Disrespect, disrespect, that... the qualifications of our shrine should have been evaluated by the Ministry of Education the year before last..."
"You misunderstood, I came on vacation with Kazuma."
Lord Ota: "Oh, that's it, I understand!"
Kazuma looked at the expression of the god, always felt that he had a deeper misunderstanding.
Yuzao smiled and said, "God Lord Sang, you should talk about this mountain god."
The **** nodded: "Okay, okay. As you said, we didn’t originally believe in this mountain god, so you can’t see anything related to the mountain **** in our shrine. Our shrine has always worshipped The stone on the mountain can go up through the stone steps behind the main hall."
Qingliu whispered: "There are stone steps..."
It seems that she also has some remarks about the long stone steps of this shrine.
Qingluo’s voice can only be heard in Kazuma, and the **** Lord continued without interruption: "But at the end of the shogunate, some people among the people began to say that they saw the mountain god. According to the local records kept in our house, the black ship is coming. Soon after the attack, some people said that they saw Take Chiyo missing from the neighboring village in the mountains."
Kazuma: "This Takechiyo sounds like the name of a little boy?"
"Yes. At the end of the shogunate, the neighborhood was very poor. It would throw children who couldn't support it in the mountains. Occasionally there would be wolves attacking, and children would be taken away. The specific situation was not written very clearly in the local chronicles, I just knew that He witnessed the missing child in the neighboring village."
Kazuma is speechless: "Rashomon...?"
Akutagawa Ryunosuke’s masterpiece "Rashomon", uses a mere three thousand characters to write a personal purgatory. Kazuma is not too cold for this article, but you have to admit that it is awesome.
The gods continue: "Such rumors have become frequent since the end of the scene. The basic content is very similar. They are all mountain gods like huge wolves and missing children who stay with them. The names of the children often change. It can be seen from the side that there were often children lost in this nearby human village at that time."
"It has appeared frequently since the end of the shogunate? Doesn't it mean that after the restoration, the situation in the village has improved, and gradually no one throws children into the mountains?" Kazuma asked.
The God Lord nodded: "Yes, after the Meiji Restoration, the land was inspected, and the lower-ranking samurai who had been prestigious around here were abolished. The police team also wiped out the bandits. Everyone's life has changed a lot. , Never can't afford to raise a child again.
"But there will still be wolves taking the kids away. Soon after the Meiji Restoration, the village organized a team to fight wolves. The landlord of the town made a fortune in Tokyo and bought back 20 Winchesters and armed a small team. The Yang Gun team, together with the local Orion, went into the mountains to fight wolves mightily.
"But the result of the wolf fight is not very optimistic. Several people were injured, and the rest were silent about what happened on the mountain, only saying that they were angry with the mountain god."
Kazuma is astounding: "Twenty Winchester? This firepower will not be able to defeat tens of thousands in the Warring States period."
During the Warring States Period, Zuqing was all recruited farmers with bamboo spears. The morale was very poor. There were many cases where dozens of warriors killed and scattered thousands of Zuqing.
Twenty gunners with Winchester ran into the Warring States period, afraid that the team's morale would be exhausted and disintegrated before the bullets in the barrel were finished.
By the way, the plot that the **** said is more and more like "Princess Mononoke."
Could it be that Hayao Miyazaki got his inspiration from the legend of this place?
The God Lord only shook his head for Kazuma and continued: "There are so many records in the local chronicles, and then the legend of the mountain gods naturally exists in the local chronicles. Every few years, someone will claim that they have seen it. Mountain god."
Kazuma: "I guess every time I witness, I will see the missing child at the same time."
"Yes, incidents of missing children also occur from time to time, but no one organizes wolf hunts anymore. Later, when the Japanese-Qing war broke out, many people in the village also joined the army. It seems that the sightings of the mountain **** have changed suddenly since then. not enough."
Kazuma felt a little bit in my heart. The Sino-Japanese War was called the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War. After Kazuma passed through Japan, it deliberately or unintentionally avoided the beginning of this period of modern Chinese history of being slaughtered by Japan.
He feels all kinds of uncomfortable thinking that the body he now occupies is the descendant of the people who have brought such deep suffering to China.
Fortunately, the God Lord did not mention the Japanese-Qing war too much, but as a time node, it passed by immediately.
"When the war with Russia is over, there will be no more records about the mountain gods in the local chronicles."
Kazuma frowned: "Isn't it said that after the Great Kanto Earthquake in the Taisho era, the village began to dump children in the mountains because they couldn't afford them? No one saw the mountain gods?"
"No. But instead, the legend of the demon fox that eats the heart and liver began to circulate among the villagers."
The God Lord stopped and looked at Kazuma, obviously waiting for Kazuma to ask questions.
So Kazuma asked: "That's what Watanabe-kun came to ask that day, what did you say to him? Why did he look solemn when he returned to the hotel?"
There was obvious hesitation on the face of Lord Ota.
Kazuma asked, "What did you tell them? Tell me! Don't you want to find out the truth about Watanabe-kun's death? If you hide something from me, how can I find out the truth?"
The **** master asked, "Teacher Kiryu, you learned from Miss Akani that Watanabe-kun's expression is abnormal, right?"
"So what?"
"I think this is Miss Akani's confusion."
"Do you think Miss Akani is lying?" Kazuma asked, his voice suddenly raised.
The **** shook his head: "No, you misunderstood. Miss Akani said that it should not be a lie that Watanabe-kun looked dignified when he returned to the hotel from the shrine. But no one stipulated that the truth should not be used to confuse the audience.
"What I talked to Watanabe-kun was just speculations, which are similar to the urban legends of rural legends that are often seen in ghost magazines.
"Most people hear me say that they are only used as'ammunition' for drunk talks or pick-up girls. Watanabe-kun is very simple. He is the kind of kid who will cry because of the plot when watching movies. His expression is dignified and normal. He is normal. I look solemn here.
"But it has nothing to do with his death. Let me just say it. I think it was Akani-san who killed Watanabe-kun. She was motivated, but I guess she didn't tell Kiryu-sensei at all."
Kazuma: "Whether Miss Akani is telling the truth or not. I just want to listen to the strange country you told Watanabe-kun. By the way, I really chased someone who ran fast last night. The white-haired man was more than ten miles away, and you said at the beginning that this was the son of the mountain god, but now you want to tell me that this is the strange Tan of the countryside?"
Don’t look at Yuzao intently and say, “I’m talking about ordinary human beings. Since you have such a deep relationship with the daughter of the Jingongji family, then you will definitely not regard it as a strange story in the countryside. ."
"Give me a minute!" Qingliu, who had been sitting by her side obediently listening, shouted, "What do you mean? Are you trying to tell me that that ghost-like thing yesterday is real? Are you trying to tell me? Do ghosts really exist? Stop kidding!"
Qingliu's voice was trembling, Kazuma did not expect that this guy was actually afraid of ghosts.
As soon as the **** master was about to speak, Yuzao rushed to say: "The ghost does not exist, even if there are some things that cannot be explained by science for the time being, it is only temporarily inexplicable.
"For example, in some places, there will be voices when there is a thunderstorm. Later, scientists discovered that there are natural magnets nearby. Once there is a thunderstorm, there is a probability that the voice will be recorded and then played on another thunderstorm. The principle is similar to that of a tape recorder."
Qingliu said suspiciously, "This explanation sounds very ridiculous!"
Qingliu continued to give an example: "Another example is the Mirage. Humans originally thought it was the Penglai Wonderland or the Jade Emperor's Manifestation of the Holy Land, but now they have discovered that it is just a reflection of light."
Qing Liu was obviously persuaded by this second example. Although she still had an unhappy expression on her face, she did not refute it.
Lord Ota murmured: "It turns out that this is how it is said now."
"This is not a rhetoric, it is a fact." Jingushi Temple said with confidence, "The legend of the mountain **** and the descendants of the mountain **** you just mentioned, and the legend of the demon fox eating the heart and liver of children, there must be scientific and logical explanations. Mystery. Does not exist, the world is scientific."
Kazuma murmured in my heart: Then you would explain your four-channel ears, don't you want to say that the pair of ears above your head are just the hair that slept and turned up?
Kazuma has a virtual video called Neomiya Hyuga that I liked in my last life. Her set of ears on the top of her head is her hair that slept and curled up.
The God Lord looked at Yuzao with a very complicated expression. He bit his lip and pondered, and finally made up his mind to speak, "It might be that way. Actually, my grandfather’s generation, they would still go into the mountain to collect medicine, but suddenly there was something. One day, my grandfather stopped going into the mountain, and told my father to collect the medicine at the back of the shrine.
"My father didn't understand at the time. Although there were medicinal materials planted by our family for generations in Houshan, there were not many types and quantities. We must know that at that time, Western medicine was not popularized in rural areas like ours. The nearest clinic was in ten. More than a kilometer away, the people in the village are sick and depend on us.
"Unlike now, there are quite large clinics on Hot Spring Street.
"So my father asked Grandpa why. Under my father's constant questioning, Grandpa finally told the truth."
The God Lord stopped, his eyes still staring at Yuzao.
Yuzao tilted his head in doubt, as if he didn't understand why the divine lord stared at him like this.
The Lord Ota asked every word: "I said it's okay? Don't the Jingongji family know?"
Tamamo: "I really don't know. I won't lie in front of Kazuma, never."
From the expression of Lord Ota, he was caught off guard by this bite of dog food.
"It may be that the adults of the Jingong Temple family are hiding from you." said the divine lord.
Kazuma frowned, and it seemed that the **** Lord didn't know that Tamamo was the biggest "person" in the Jinguji family.
He turned his head and looked at Yuzao, confirming through his eyes that Mao didn't even know the latter.
The God Lord said: "My grandfather told my father that he ran into the military police in the mountains. The big cap and cloak with red stripes, he would never admit his mistake."
Kazuma chanted with Qingliu: "Gendarmerie?"
Kazuma chanted naturally because in his impression the gendarmes were all executioners who slaughtered the Chinese people, Qingliu, probably because the rock spirit is inherently incompatible with gendarmes and other dog-legged characters?
After all, people who play rock and roll are thinking about what to burn to ashes all day long.
Tamamo looks very calm: "Old Japanese Army...?"
The God Lord continued: "Yes, the military police seems to be supervising a group of Chinese-speaking people to build a railway. I have never heard of a plan to build a railway nearby.
"Several military police officers chatted in a loud voice, saying that these people would be shot when the railway was completed. My grandpa felt bad and ran back before he was found."
Kazuma instinctively felt disgust, and wanted to travel back to that era to kill all the turtles and grandchildren and save the compatriots.
However, he did not have the ability to travel through time and space at will.
He once again had the idea of "Why don't you travel through decades, let me go back to fight the Japanese War".
Tamamo: "It's worthy of the old Japanese army, it's all a bunch of offal."
The God Lord glanced at Yuzao: "Miss, you are actually a leftist?"
"I'm a student of Dongda University." Yuzao said.
Even the **** head of the rural shrine, after hearing the four words of a student of East University, felt that Tamamo was a left wing and it was a matter of course.
Lord Ota no longer entangled with this issue. He continued: "I told Watanabe-kun about this that day, and also expressed my speculation: The old Japanese army might have some secret facilities in the nearby mountains, which might be doing it. Unspeakable research. Grandma Noda might just see them coming to the mountain village to grab the test product."
Qingliu: "Are you saying that they arrested their own citizens as guinea pigs?"
"Nothing is impossible. After all, that is a group of beasts inferior to the guy." Kazuma said.
Yuzao added: "These guys are planning to break 100 million jade at the last moment of the war. If the Americans hadn't dropped the nuclear bomb, they might have done it just like that."
Kazuma: "It's a pity that the Americans did not send all these people to the gallows. If the Americans completely liquidated these people at that time, Japan should be better now."
Yuzao: "Yes, MacArthur is very sinful."
Lord Ota interrupted the conversation between the two of them: "In short, as Miss Jinguji said, weirdness may not exist at all. Everything is done by the evil old Japanese army. I told this that day. Watanabe-kun. He is a kind-hearted child and a college student. He is likely to be a left-wing youth just like you."
Kazuma took the stubborn sentence: "That's why he has that expression...Do you mean that?"
"Yeah, so this has nothing to do with his murder. Miss Akani must have said this deliberately to interfere with her vision."
——No, I always feel more than that.
"Ota-san," Kazuma looked up at the **** master, "you have been collecting medicine near the place where Watanabe-kun happened all these days, haven't you found anything strange?"
"What are you referring to? The strange things I found should have been given to you yesterday."
Kazuma is staggering.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"What's the matter?" The Lord of God looked towards the door of the office and asked loudly.
The voice of the part-time maiden Bozi came from outside: "The people from the Tourism Promotion Association and the village office are here."
"Got it."
Kazuma asked: "What's wrong? They came..."
"Preparation for the festival. Starting today, we will set up a festival stall in the square in front of the main hall of the shrine. There will also be a rehearsal and parade, which will get busy." The **** master stood up, "I have said everything I can say~ www.readwn.com~ You have to find the remaining clues by yourself. Of course, you can call me at any time if you have any questions. But I don’t expect to entertain Mr. Kiryu in such a large amount of time. According to previous years It’s time for a large number of tourists to arrive on the hot spring street today, and the God Society has become very busy."
Kazuma: "Will it become very busy?"
"Yes, starting today, girls from neighboring villages will come over to work. Bozi alone can't handle it. In a few days there will be maidens from Tokyo from the Tourism Promotion Association who will be responsible for the performance of the gods."
Tamamo: "Oh? Is it from Tokyo? Maybe I know it."
God Lord: "Anyway, let's stop here today. The wolf problem, and the white-haired man last night, maybe you can talk to the people from the Tourism Promotion Association. For the safety of the tourist season, they should immediately go into the mountains to fight the wolves. ."
Kazuma also stood up: "Okay, let me ask the Tourism Promotion Association, I won't bother you."
