The Hundred Stories of Miss Ghost

"Where did the other end of the invisible line go...?"

Granny Chun sighed deeply, "Yes, I can clearly see a line protruding from the little finger of my left hand, but...the other end of the line is gradually coming out Disappeared in the air, the other end of the line must be connected to someone, but I can't see the whereabouts of the line through the glasses. The only consolation is that the line still exists, which means that person also exists.

"I finally appeared on the streets of Tokyo, so I thought, maybe that person is still wandering on a certain street in Tokyo. I have seen such a thing on the streets of Shinjuku Well, a boy and a girl looked at each other across the street, and then two lines connected their little fingers. If I just waited on this street, maybe one day, I would accidentally If I meet that person, at that time, I must be able to clearly see who my line is connected to. So I set up a table and chair on the street and sat down. In the end, it turned out that Someone actually thought I was setting up a fortune telling booth. Hehe, unexpectedly, I have been divination here for 40 years, and I have almost become an urban legend in Tokyo, but I have never seen that person in the end .”

Although I was a little touched by my mother-in-law's persistence and persistence, I still felt that this matter sounded unrealistic, so I couldn't help but reply to my mother-in-law: [Grandma, you are really persistent, but... 40 years , There are too many things that can happen in 40 years, maybe the person my mother-in-law likes has become a bad old man with the smell of an old man, so would you still like my mother-in-law?And let me see, if the person on the other side likes her mother-in-law, even if her mother-in-law loses her memory, she should take the initiative to come to her mother-in-law.There is no movement for 40 years, which can only mean that the other party may have forgotten about you, mother-in-law...]

My merciless words seem to be quite damaging to Granny Chun. She sat on the chair dumbly for a long time, and finally said in a low voice: "There is no way, there is nothing to do." Up to now, finding that person has become an obsession of mine. What can I do after I find that person? I understand this too. It’s just that things that have lasted for 40 years are not so easy to stop, otherwise What is the meaning of my 40 years?"

I really can't say any more, otherwise it will make an old man overly sad.However, I do understand a little bit about the selection criteria for that traitor shop manager.These people seem to be some guys with strong desires and stubbornness beyond imagination.Indeed, only such a person can create urban legends.The story of waiting and watching the person I love for 40 years must have added a lot of color to that strange object. It turns out that this is the so-called "maintenance" of the strange object, and I seem to understand it a little bit.

At this time, Xiaotong frowned slightly, but asked another question, "Mother-in-law, you said that the other end of your red line is hidden in the air. Are you the only one like this?"

"Yeah, the vast majority of people have ordinary and clear red threads, and there are a few people who don't have red threads wrapped around them, but I haven't seen anything like me..." Granny Tsubaki said, slowly casting her eyes on On Xiaotong's body, to be precise, on Xiaotong's fingers.

At this time, she suddenly stopped, her eyes suddenly became sharp, and then she grabbed Xiaotong's left hand suddenly.

Xiaotong was taken aback by her mother-in-law's sudden movement, and said in surprise, "What... what's wrong?!"

The mother-in-law's tone became extremely anxious and anxious, and she said very fast: "You have seen him recently, right? You have seen him?!! Where is he?! How did you know him?! !"

"What?" Xiaotong was confused, "wait a minute... calm down, I don't understand what you mean. How do you know that I have met that person? I have met a lot of people recently, and I don't know which one……"

Granny Chun stared deeply at Xiao Tong, and then suddenly asked a strange question: "Then I will ask directly, now... who is the person you like the most?!"

"Huh?" Xiaotong now had question marks all over her forehead, her eyebrows at both ends were almost huddled together, after a moment of silence, Xiaotong replied, "I don't understand why you ask such a question? "

Granny Chun looked at Xiaotong's eyes at this moment, and she felt a little guarded for no reason, only heard her say in a strange and disturbed tone: "Although the red line on your hand is very short, it has just passed from fingertips to It popped out a little bit, but like mine, it gradually faded and disappeared into the air at the end! The person you like... No, your ideal lover, wouldn't it be that person?!"

Chapter 19 Travel Plan

Facing her mother-in-law's questioning, Xiaotong was stunned for a while.

"The... red thread in my hand? Mother-in-law, are you kidding me? I don't think I have someone like that..."

However, Granny Chun was a little bit reluctant, she grabbed Xiaotong and said: "The appearance of a red line does not necessarily mean that there is someone you like, it is also fine if you have a good impression unconsciously, the red line will be drawn to the person who is closest to your ideal type ! What type of guy do you like!"

"This..." Under the eager gazes of my mother-in-law and me, Xiao Tong looked away and said a little embarrassedly, "It's probably the kind of... steady, mature, especially intellectual and elegant, who can bring people Those who come to feel at ease, preferably especially rich people?"

"Isn't that what I'm talking about!" I suddenly felt a little ashamed. It turned out that I, who was intellectual and elegant, had unknowingly attracted Xiaotong, but I didn't notice her intentions. It was really a sin.

"Nonsense!" After hearing what I said, Xiaotong said with a dark face, "Sister, you are the guy who is the least likely to have anything to do with the word 'stable'!"

"I'm not stable enough... Then, could it be said, Xiaotong, you like someone else? Unforgivable, who is that?!"

"I don't like anyone! I like money, okay? Maybe it's because the rich aura of Uncle Huashanyuan I saw recently just matches the ideal type that I don't even know?"

I haven't said anything yet, but Youxiang's pupil was shaken. She looked at Xiaotong in shock, covered her mouth and said, "Hitomi...I've always regarded you as a friend, but I didn't know...you want to be my friend?" My stepmother?!"

"Go to hell." Xiaotong couldn't bear it anymore and slashed Youxiang's forehead with a knife.

Youxiang started to hold her forehead and cried out the pain, while Xiaotong bit her lip and turned to Grandma Chun, and said to her: "Grandma, I don't know what I've seen recently who might be your 'destined person' , I don't think I have any potential favorite object. The person you are looking for should have nothing to do with me. In short, we will help you find your "destined person", but we can only say that we will try our best to Do, even if you can't find it, the pair of glasses you are wearing now will be returned to us, you should agree to this, right?"

Grandma Chun didn't answer for a while, finally she nodded her head, and sighed, "Okay. I've been looking for it for so many years, and it's rare that someone will come to help me find it now. Let me try again for the last time. If If you can't find it again, it's fate, you've been living in a shadow with only outlines for most of your life... It's time to look away."

That's how the agreement was reached.

However, based on what the mother-in-law said, the only information we have is that the mother-in-law disappeared on the way to a festival in the countryside of Kyoto, and then appeared on the streets of Tokyo out of thin air, but the glasses that see through love cannot observe the whereabouts of the red line.I feel that I really can't find any entry point to carry out investigations and find people.

At this time, Youxiang suddenly had a brainstorm and made a suggestion——

"Otherwise, let's take advantage of the last week or so of the summer vacation and let's actually go to Kyoto? How about not actually going to see the scene when the mother-in-law disappeared! I think there may be clues in the field!"

Xiaotong squinted at her, "You don't think you just want to play, do you?"

"You can play while investigating! I didn't go out to play well this summer because of various things! Seeing that the holiday is coming to an end! The investigation of the truth of the mysterious local mysterious incident in Kyoto can also be used as our Social practice of folklore research!"

Xiaotong turned to Granny Chun, asked her opinion, "What do you think? Do you think you will find clues about that person in your hometown?"

"This...maybe, after all, there have always been legends of the hidden gods in our area. I also wanted to investigate the local history of the legends of the hidden gods, but it seems to be just a folk tale passed down by word of mouth..." The mother-in-law is also a little undecided.

"Legends also contain power." I said to Grandma Tsubaki, "Perhaps the real name of the person you are looking for is lost in these rural legends and strange tales, so...maybe. I In fact, you might as well give it a go.”

My mother-in-law looked at me a little strangely, "I always feel... your ghost's speech suddenly becomes a little more elegant, and it's a bit like the god you bragged about before."

"I have always been elegant! Also, I am a god!"

"Tsk, it seemed like an illusion just now."

"Bah." While expressing sneer at my mother-in-law's disgust, I was still communicating with Ning Meng in my head. I actually read the sentence just now according to what Ning Meng said to me.

"Ning Meng, what did you mean by that just now? That person's real name may be lost in folk legends and ghost stories. Do you think that person is not human?"

"Well, that's my guess."

"Why?"

"Well, a secret. Think for yourself."

"Shocked! I have a secret from myself!"

"........."

In short, in the end, we happily decided to go to Kyoto for field investigation. Youxiang generously said that she could provide a luxury car to facilitate travel.So, I made a plan to set off early tomorrow morning. Tonight, I will go home and pack my luggage.

On the way back, Xiaotong had a thoughtful expression on her face as if she was thinking about something, even if she asked her if she really fell in love with the old man and wanted to be Youxiang's stepmother, she just got her extremely contemptuous and disgusting eyes .

Humph, wait, if you let me know that Xiaotong has a crush on some goddamn bastard now, I'll beat him until his mother doesn't even know him!

I got off the tram and came to the foot of Mt. Takao. When I was about to walk up the mountain, I suddenly noticed two familiar guys coming out of the mountain climbing cable car station.

If I remember correctly, those two guys should be called Tuyumen and Tuyumen, the onmyoji who sent Engels, the cat spirit shikigami, to Xiaotong.

The two of them seemed to have seen us too. The elder brother who was dressed like a dog walking in front, remembered that the name on the business card seemed to be Tsuchimikado Akagi, and raised his hand to greet us.

At this time, I suddenly felt a sense of crisis. After a closer look, this guy named Tsuchimikado Akagi seemed mature and stable, and the Onmyoji should not be short of money, and he was Hitomi who had just met recently. Could it be that... the one who perfectly fits the image of Xiaotong's ideal lover is this guy? !

My vigilance rose to the peak in an instant.

When the two of them approached, Tsuchiyamon Akagi greeted Xiaotong, "Miss Tong, what a coincidence, we meet again."

Xiaotong looked at the way they came in doubt. The cable car does not lead to the direction of the Tsukiyomi Shrine, but to the top of the mountain.She then asked strangely: "Hello, both of you, why are you here today? You shouldn't be looking for my shrine, right?"

"Hmph, what does it have to do with your small shrine? We are here..." The younger brother behind Tsuchimikado Akagi, Tsuchimikado Bito said with a bit of disdain, but his words were caught by his brother's extremely sharp slap His eyes were broken.

After staring at his younger brother with terrifying eyes, Tsuchimikado Akagi turned his face away with a polite face, and he gently replied to Xiaotong: "We are here to find an old friend."

"Old man? Then... have you found it?"

"Unfortunately, no, that person probably doesn't want to see us. There's nothing we can do about it. We've been delayed for quite a while in Tokyo, so we're going back to our home in Kyoto soon."

"Hey, is that so? That's just right..."

When I heard Xiaotong say "that's just right", I felt that something was wrong, and immediately covered Xiaotong's mouth with the power of telekinetics.

The onmyoji on the opposite side could see me 100% of the time, but he seemed to be watching the scene and didn't let it go. Instead, he asked with interest: "'That's just right'? Just what?"

Xiaotong turned her head and gave me a look, but she seemed to understand what I didn't want her to say that we were going to Kyoto too, so she changed her words: "It just so happens that I have two 'Traveling Peace' royal tokens from our shrine on me. Shou, this is just a return gift from the previous Shikigami, please accept it~"

"Tsk~" Tsuchimikado Bidou saw the two guards that Xiaotong took out, and obviously showed a disgusted expression. On the contrary, Tsuchimikado Akagi took them with great interest after seeing them, then nodded and said, " Okay, then we will accept it, thank you for your gift."

After accepting the guard, the two said goodbye and left down the mountain.Xiaotong stared back at me and said, "Why did you interrupt me just now?"

I tried my best to persuade Xiaotong: "Tong, have you ever heard a saying, 'Knowing people, knowing the face, but not the heart'?"

"...What the hell?"

"Don't look at the man just now who looks very mature and stable. In fact, his heart is far away. He might be a dark guy in private. You must be vigilant! If I don't stop you, Are you going to say something like, 'That's right, we're going to Kyoto too, let's go together'!! I won't allow such a thing to happen, senpai!"

"...Sister, do you think I might like someone like that?"

"Isn't it?"

"Of course it's impossible, senior sister, what are you thinking..."

"Hmph, I heard that onmyojis are very rich, what if he gives you a big house plus tens of millions of yen plus a hundred shikigami?!"

"...seemed to suddenly become very attractive."

"Look! Let me tell you! It's so sad! Hitomi, you need to be punished by God for thinking like this!!"

"Ah, I'm joking, senior sister...don't scratch me...hey, stop! Where are you scratching!!!"

Chapter 20 Where the Cat Goes

We walked all the way up the stairs and on the way back to the shrine. After we got back to the shrine, we immediately prepared our luggage for the trip to Kyoto, which is about to start tomorrow.

However, just as we stepped into the courtyard in front of the shrine, we saw a man standing there, wearing a large dark gray men's yukata, with wooden clogs on his feet, staring at him ecstatically. Staring in a daze at the shrine of the White Snake God that had just been erected in the yard.

Seeing the figure of this person, it took me a while to realize that this is Xiaotong's father, Miriyue Daoman.I almost didn't recognize the man without the mask on his face.

There was a slight displeasure on Xiaotong's face, and she came up and asked, "Why are you back?"

"Heh, that's an interesting question. This is my home, why can't I come back? I still want to ask, the good daughter who left the old father who was seriously ill in the hospital for half a month without visiting , where should I find one?" Tong's father asked in his standard greasy tone.

After Sanriyue Daoman finished speaking, he also thought that Xiaotong would answer, so he raised his hand, pointed to the shrine carved with snake patterns and said, "What's the matter with this shrine? Although I heard you said that you chopped down the sacred tree, I But you are not allowed to set up such a shrine of different gods in the shrine?!"

"That...it's a long story..." Xiaotong recalled that he really hadn't explained these things to his father properly.

"How should I put it... This White Snake God is a god that my mother brought back from afar. I hope to use his power to fight against the Shenmu and remove the curse of the Sanriyue family. In fact, I also use the power of this god to get rid of the Shenmu. Yes. That... There are still videos of that time on the Internet, you may have seen it..."

Xiao Tong patiently explained to Mikayue Daoman for a long time, but my existence was hidden during the whole explanation process.As promised with Hitomi back then, I don't want to become an idol just to save the dilapidated shrine.

After listening to Xiaotong's explanation, Sanriyue Daoman stared at the small shrine for a long time without saying a word, and then heaved a long sigh.

"Okay, in fact, there are indeed many shrines that enshrine more than one god. Tsukuyomi should understand."

Then, he walked to the shrine without saying anything, but bowed three times slowly and respectfully.

Uncle Daoman should not be able to see the little white snake coiled in front of the altar and spitting out snake letters. As a bystander, I don't know his inner thoughts at the moment.I also only saw a glint of light in his eyes at the moment when he turned around after worshiping the white snake, but it was only fleeting, making it impossible to be sure whether it was an illusion or not.

Xiaotong followed Daoman back to the shrine. Uncle Daoman seemed to have adjusted his mood quickly, and then began to scold Xiaotong: "Well, Hitomi, whether it is to clear the curse in this shrine, or to put The White Snake welcomes you into the shrine, and I admit that you did a good job. But Hitomi, why didn’t you grasp such a good opportunity for the shrine?!”

"……What?"

"The reputation of running the shrine!" Sankai Yuedao said full of hatred, "The festival is hot, and there are online videos that arouse heated discussions. Build momentum! Take this opportunity to bind the visit to the shrine as part of the local characteristic history and culture. Ah! How do you think our neighbor Yakuo-in became popular? Isn’t it bound to the Tengu culture? We can engage in the white snake culture? Because of that video, the huge white snake is very popular on the Internet. Someone comes to pay homage to the White Snake? Send out leaflets or publicize the origin and vocation of the god on the Internet! Customize the souvenirs of the White Snake! Isn't "Yuanqie" also a good gimmick that can cause hot spots? It can be aimed at those who have a crush on it but already The guy who has a lover sells white snake-shaped chocolate that will break up as soon as he eats it? This thing may be a hit! Also, I don’t know if this god agrees to be given a human image. It’s also good to have a virtual idol of the white snake girl Ah?? Tsk, you have such a good opportunity to promote the shrine, but you didn’t do anything, you are really a rotten head.”

Xiaotong's face turned darker and darker, and he started rubbing his temples with both hands.I was also secretly glad that my uncle didn't know of my existence.

As the uncle talked, he had already started to think seriously about whether she was the virtual idol of the entire White Snake Lady, and asked Xiao Tong to be one of them.Xiaotong instinctively made an excuse: "Don't ask me for this kind of thing, if you want to be an idol, go yourself. I'm going to Kyoto Yitang tomorrow, and it's almost time to go back to school when I come back!"

"Kyoto? What are you doing in Kyoto?"

"I promised someone else to help her find someone. There may be some clues about that person in Kyoto."

"You really have a leisurely heart."

Uncle Sankaiyue didn't bother to ask any more, he seemed to be concentrating on working out a "Draft for the Revival of Yueyue Shrine".

Before going back to her room, Xiao Tong suddenly thought of something, turned her head and asked Uncle Daoman: "By the way, Dad, have you noticed any other weird things in the shrine for so many years? "

"It's normal for historic buildings to be a little quirky. What's up, why are you asking?"

Xiaotong hesitated to tell Uncle Daoman about the strange things that happened to him the night before.

Daoman frowned and said, "Strange spiritual body? Do you suspect it's a cat spirit?"

Xiaotong nodded, and then seriously questioned Daoman: "When I was young, didn't there be several cats in the shrine? I even fed them. Later, the family said that they would throw those cats outside. You Tell me honestly, did the family really throw the cat out? Could it be that they killed the cat?"

"Tsk...why did we kill the cat?" Dao Man flattened his mouth and said, "Everything has spirits, and if you kill a cat, you may get revenge. Isn't that what many ghost stories in the past said? But... we really did not throw the cat out in an ordinary way. You know, cats are territorial, and they might be able to find them by themselves after throwing them out. And... that cat is indeed a little evil..."

"Huh? Where is the evil door?"

Daoman smiled slightly, and said mysteriously: "You know what? That old cat, its tail is a bit forked. And there is something wrong with the way it looks at us. So, we put those few A cat was sold."

"Sold it? To whom??"

"Onmyoji, only they need this kind of thing."

Chapter 21 GO

Early the next morning, Youxiang's car came to pick us up.We will first go to the airport to take a small private jet to Kyoto, and then take a luxury car prepared by Youxiang to start the investigation when we arrive in Kyoto. .

In the ten-seat small plane, apart from Xiaotong, Youxiang, and Granny Chun who was going to investigate together, Xiaotong unexpectedly found the two tattooed strong men whom he had seen before——Fengjiang and Lian The figure of the sauce.

"Why did these two people come here together?" Xiaotong pulled Youxiang and asked her in a very small voice.

Youxiang spread her hands in a little embarrassment and said, "No way... Uncle Fang He must let me bring two bodyguards, so I called the two I am familiar with. These two are Uncle Fang He's old subordinates Yes, they are trustworthy, and it is said that they are also from Kyoto, so they are familiar with the local area, and they can also be our tour guides by the way."

"Are they still from Kyoto?" Xiaotong was quite surprised, and her voice became louder involuntarily, but was heard by those two people.

"Yes, we are also natives of Kyoto. If you want to go somewhere, miss, just tell me, and we can take you around!" Among the two should be "Maple Sauce" That person answered aloud.
