I’m Really Unnerved In Tokyo

"Hey, Little Bird You, look, there's a shoe here!"

Walking in the dark passage, Sousuke Araki suddenly stopped and pointed to a lonely shoe on the ground.

"Wow, it's still AIRJORDAN1, unfortunately there is only one, and it's rotten, otherwise I'll take it to a second-hand shop..."

"Sure enough, those who entered this place by mistake, for some reason, were introduced into this passage by the previous "painted wall"..."

Looking at the sneaker on the ground, Yumayumi the bird, who had a talisman attached to the wall in the back passage, nodded slightly.

The two entered through the hole exposed by the "painted wall" after becoming a Buddha, and proceeded all the way along the slightly upward sloping passage.

The further you go inside, shoes, bags, and clothing begin to appear sparsely along the way, extending along the inside of the passage.

On the ground covered with fine ash, you can vaguely see messy footprints.

"Well, do those people feel very hot when they come here?"

Looking at the clothes of different ages and old and new on the ground, Sousuke Araki scratched his head curiously.

"The concentration of resentment in this tunnel can easily make people hallucinate... No, maybe there is something else hidden inside..."

Looking at the empty passage in front of him, and remembering the strong and foul-smelling resentment that gushed out before, Kotori Yumayumi couldn't help but glanced at the man in front of him gratefully.

Thanks to Mr. Araki's inhalation of those strange resentments into the body, otherwise this passage would not be so smooth.

"A hallucination? What did these guys see?"

Glancing at the few **** intimates scattered on the ground of the passage, Sousuke Araki muttered and stepped forward.

"Teacher Araki, look... the material of the wall has changed!"

The two walked side by side for a few minutes. The original stone structures on both sides of the passage had been mixed with quaint logs.

"This is Maria's Wall... Swish... Survey Corps... Please reply when you hear..."

At the same time, the muffled voice of Hanyu Mai suddenly appeared in the communication channel.

"Hey, Hanyu-san..."

Hearing this voice, the two people reacted. Since entering this channel, the communication channel has been quiet.

It turned out that since the two entered this channel, the communication was completely disconnected, and it was only restored just now.

"Is that so... the upward passage... According to the approximate inclination of the passage and the advance time..."

The communication from Mai Hanyu was still intermittent.

"If you're still inside the tunnel, you should already be at the side of the mountain..."

But her voice was much clearer than in the tunnel before.

"In other words...the graves of those Tokugawa ancestors in Senjuin...maybe not far above your heads."

"Only the Tokugawa family can build such a strategic channel under the eyes of the Kii Tokugawa family and have used the enchantment seal for many years."

Thinking of the bizarre "creation of the gods" scene he encountered in Hakone Mountain last night, Yuuma Kotori only felt that the picture scroll and the secrets behind the Mochizuki Treasure were not as simple as he and others expected.

"Why, these people surnamed Tokugawa feel like tortoises, they always like to hide in the mountains to build this kind of air-raid shelter..."

Thinking of the accidental fall from the top of the Hakone burrow last night, and today he entered the mountainside from the tunnel at the foot of the mountain.

"...Wait, this passage has come to an end?"

After an upward turning corner, what appeared in the sight of the two of them was a row of stone walls built with the "cutting and connecting" process.

This technique was very common after the Edo period. Stones were processed into rectangles and then stacked, because there were almost no gaps between the stones, similar to brick walls, which made them stronger, such as that used in Nijo Castle in Kyoto.

In the center of the stone wall blocking the passage, under the quaint Edo-style eaves, is a giant wooden door covered with talisman paper.

"Hey, is this door closed?"

Excitedly running to the door, Araki Sosuke found that the old giant door was not completely closed, and there were dense talismans flying on the crack of the door that was enough for half a person to pass through.

Judging from the appearance of the talisman paper, the sticker method and the giant gate, someone should have closed it from the outside and then purposely sealed it again with the talisman paper.

Perhaps it was in disrepair for so long that several of the shorter talisman papers were broken, and only the longer talisman papers were barely maintained. Naturally, it was impossible to completely seal the huge wooden door.

"There's a plaque on it...Wait, Xianshouyuan?!"

Yumayumi, the bird behind him, suddenly exclaimed.

Above the giant gate, on a dilapidated plaque, the three words "Xianshouyuan" were engraved in a very elegant brush font.

"That place, shouldn't it be on the top of the mountain?"

"Wait, these talismans..."

Immediately, her eyes stayed on the broken talisman paper that was densely covered with the crack of the door.

"The incantation on this talisman... is the "Five Seals Town" sealing technique of Tsuchimikado Shinto! "

"The word sealing technique sounds very 'trouble'... There shouldn't be something strange sealed in it, right?"

"I don't know, Tuyumen Shinto should actually be called Yin-Yang Dao. Their techniques are of their own, and I only know a little bit about it."

Facing Sousuke Araki's doubts, Tori Yumayumi shook his head helplessly.

Tuyumen Shinto, also known as Abe's Shinto, Anjia Shinto or Tensha Shinto, is a Shinto sect founded by the descendant of Onmyoji Abe Seimei in modern times.

As for the exact reason why Abe changed his surname~www.readwn.com~ there are many opinions among the exorcists, and there is no definite answer so far.

There is a saying that it is because the Abe family has attracted the hatred of too many ghosts and gods, and thus has been cursed to cause problems such as population decline and reproductive difficulties.

Some descendants had to take the "Tsuchimikado" where Abe Seimei lived as the surname to spread the power of the curse and continue the bloodline.

"Tuyumen Shinto is the controller of the Yin-Yang Dormitory during the Tokugawa Shogunate... Presumably this 'Xianshouyuan' and the outer spiritual barrier are their handwriting."

From the Kamakura period to the early Meiji period, Tsuchimikado ruled over the Onmyo Ryo, an important official national government agency in Japan, and often held the right to monopolize the compilation of the country's official calendar and participate in national politics, especially with the strong support of the Tokugawa shogunate. , can be said to have reached the pinnacle of power.

After the Meiji Restoration, the imperial government not only deprived the Tuyumen family of the monopoly of making "calendars", but also single-handedly guided Shinto to break with Yin-Yang and completely abolished Yin-Yang.

Many side branches headed by the Tuyumen family were forced to give up politics and go into business, and secretly formed the "Tuyumen Shinto Fellowship" to continue the inheritance of Yin-Yang Dao as a formal religious legal person.
