Through the daily life of Ghost Slayer

Chapter 34
Searching for the memory of the previous life, there is no information about this mountain, and I have never heard of it.

The man smiled smugly, "Aren't you all here to go to the mountains to hunt for treasures? There will be no shadow, hahahaha."

The old man glanced at the man indistinctly, and said flatly, "Kato, don't talk nonsense."

Kato smiled and waved his hands, turned and left.

But his words aroused Zhang Xie's interest, and Zhang Xie curiously asked the old man: "What is going on in Shadowless Mountain?"

The old man looked at the mountain in the east and fell into deep thought. Just when Zhang Xie thought he would not answer, he raised his head, and the wrinkles on his face became more evident. But the people who came to look for the treasure ended up missing, and the Self-Defense Forces came to investigate before, but they didn’t give us any explanation.”

"How long ago was this?" Zhang Xie had a guess.

The old man thought for a moment and said, "About 100 years ago."

Zhang Xie was shocked. This number was far larger than he imagined. It has been more than 100 years. Why hasn't the Demon Slayer Squad solved the evil spirits inside?Zhang Xie planned to go up the mountain to investigate during the day.

Seemingly aware of Zhang Xie's intentions, the old man fixed his eyes and said seriously: "Young man, I advise you not to take risks, this place is very dangerous."

Zhang Xie thanked him and walked towards the east of the village. He planned to find a place to stay first.

The east end of the village was a little deserted, with sparse houses and a muddy path running from east to west. Zhang Xie followed the path and quickly found Murata's residence.

There are three suites, the left is the tea room, the back is the bedroom, and the middle is the front hall. There is a sign on the wooden fence with the words "Mura Tianju" written in big characters. Bright pastoral farmhouse scenery

Zhang Xie knocked on the door lightly, and the sound of getting up came from inside.

At noon, the farmers were working in the fields or taking care of things in the courtyard. This man named Cuntian was still sleeping soundly. Zhang Xie couldn't help but wonder about his identity.

The door opened with a creak, and a ball of cloth rolled out. Zhang Xie looked carefully, only to find that it was a man in rags, but he was too fat and his clothes were thick, like a ball. Murata rubbed his sleepy eyes and muttered , staggered over, opened the fence, and glanced at Zhang Xie: "Accommodation?"

Ordinary farmhouses would not have an inn, Zhang Xie thought to himself, probably because too many people came to hunt for treasures, so a separate inn was set up for the convenience of staying.

Murata said in an impatient tone: "Are you here to stay?"

Zhang Xie nodded and curiously looked at the situation in the room. The first thing he felt was that it was messy, and then he still felt messy. All kinds of inexplicable items were piled on the floor, and a corner of the bed was vaguely exposed. There was a kettle beside the bed. There were water stains on the ground. The water cup was lying quietly, and Zhang Xie could see the turbid yellow scale.

Pa, Murata closed the door with his hand, threw a key to Zhang Xie, and pointed to the side, "That room!"

Zhang Xie followed Murata's fingers and saw that it was a nice-looking hut with a relatively new color, diagonally opposite Murata's residence.

Although the house is small, it has all the furniture. There is a bed at the entrance, and there is a wooden table behind the bed. There are kettles and water cups on the table. The sheets are neat and tidy, and they are neatly folded, which is in stark contrast to the village.

Zhang Xie was very satisfied. He took off his shoes before entering the door and put on the wooden clogs prepared in front of the door. The wooden floor creaked when he stepped on it.

6 yen a night is a little expensive, but it is barely acceptable. Zhang Xie counted the money he had on his body, and it was less than 13 yen, feeling ashamed.

Zhang Xie remembers that it was the Taisho period in Japan at this time. You must know that the monthly salary of a female textile worker is only 1.7 yen, and the monthly salary of a rural employee is 3.1 yen. The daily residence here costs 6 yen. If there are too many, the villagers will sit on the ground and raise the price.

Zhang Xie has not met other treasure hunters so far. He heard from the villagers that there will be an endless stream of treasure hunters in June or August.

June or August is summer, and August is the height of summer. At this time, the frequency of evil ghosts will probably decrease, because they can't stand the burning of the earth's energy.

But now it is winter, the sun is icy and cold, and it is snowing in some places, the days are shorter and the nights are longer, which is the favorite season of evil spirits.

Zhang Xie asked Murata for a few pieces of charcoal, lit it in the stove, put the kettle on the stove, he sat by the stove, warmed up the fire, looked outside, Zhang Xie couldn't figure it out, the evil spirit was on the mountain, There are villages down the mountain. It seems that no villager has ever mentioned the incident of evil spirits going down the mountain to eat people, which is really strange.

The ghost killing team did not set this place as the focus of attention. The villagers were not eaten by the evil spirits on the mountain, and the treasure hunters frequently disappeared. Zhang Xie felt that there were too many doubts about this mountain. I also have to draw a question mark, maybe it's just encountering a ferocious beast.

According to Ganlu Temple, there are evil spirits operating nearby, but they did not specify Wuying Mountain. Zhang Xie followed the crow, and the crow only led him to the edge of the village. The people in the village were happy and harmonious. Zhang Xie just made innuendoes. I asked Murata and found that no villagers were missing.

The more I think about it, the more confusing things become, and the truth is covered up layer by layer, making it impossible for Zhang Xie to start.

After tidying up a bit, it was still early, so Zhang Xie decided to go up the mountain now. Once at night, when the sun goes down, the evil spirits will be rampant. If you go up the mountain without knowing the strength of the evil spirits, you will undoubtedly be in danger.

Although Zhang Xie is self-confident, he also understands the principle of being careful when making a ten-thousand-year boat.

Wuying Mountain is located on the bank of the village, soaring into the clouds, surrounded by dense forests, it is difficult to find the way, and the giant trees are shady, covering the sky and the sun, which makes people feel timid. Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, it looks like a giant dragon soaring into the sky. The huge body is hidden in the clouds and smoke, and it is majestic.

Zhang Xie took a deep breath, used a wooden stick to sweep away the thorns, and opened a path. On the way, he could faintly see the path opened by others, which had long been covered by weeds and eroded by soil.

Zhang Xie believes that the mountains are high and there are spirits, and the water is deep with dragons. Such a high mountain must be impressive. If you want to complete the survey, one day is not enough, but you are too shy to spend all your money.

Shaking his head, Zhang Xie abandoned these distracting thoughts and went up the mountain with one heart.

Relying on three layers of internal strength, Zhang Xie turned a blind eye to the rugged road and the jagged and strange rocks. He easily climbed up the mountainside, and looked down, surrounded by smoke and clouds, and people were like mustard seeds.

The higher you go, the thinner the vegetation becomes, which is completely different from the previous scenery. During the day, evil spirits must be hiding in caves or in lush vegetation. Zhang Xie first checks the cave.

There are so many caves in Wuying Mountain that there are almost one cave every hundred steps. It will take a lot of time to check so many caves one by one, not to mention the limited manpower. Zhang Xie alone is unable to do all the work.

Zhang Xie thought to himself, why not create a plan to lure the evil spirits out?Evil ghosts who have lived for hundreds of years are not weak in IQ and strength. It is not easy to lure them into the bait, and they must be killed with one blow. Otherwise, it will be even more difficult to catch them next time if they are allowed to escape. , he planned to use himself as bait and wait on the mountain until sunset.

Time on the mountain seemed to flow very slowly, and Zhang Xie felt like his days were like years. He hid the sun wheel knife, pretended to be a tourist, looked around, and walked around the mountainside without knowing it. Half of the top of the mountain was exposed, emitting an orange glow, rendering the nearby clouds red.
