Conan: The Mechanic

In the end, Conan and his party gave up their plans to go to the edge of the cliff and chose to walk along the path of the shrine together. After everyone walked half the distance, Yuan Tai, who looked exhausted, suddenly found an artificial fountain next to it, gushing into a pool.

"Ah!" Yuan Tai exclaimed excitedly, rushing up to Conan and the others in amazement. "I'm dying of thirst!"

"Hey! Stop it!" Conan said urgently. "The water in that spring is for washing hands and gargling, not for quenching thirst!"

"This spring is an exception," Kubo Sayyuki held Conan back. "This spring is drinkable."

"Why?" Conan asked in surprise as he watched Yuan Tai buried his head in the pool and drank happily. "Is there no such rule here?"

"This spring is not the spring of the shrine itself," Kubo Sayuki smiled. "According to records, the spring water was specially prepared for those who came to the shrine to quench their thirst. The real source of water for worship is outside the gate of the main hall."

"That is to say," Mitsuhiko said excitedly. "Can we drink water too?"

"Let's come together!" Tadao smiled and greeted everyone to have a drink together.

I don't know where the spring water here came from, but the taste of the water is really delicious, so Conan couldn't help showing a surprised expression after drinking it. "It's really delicious... Where did you get it from?"

"I don't know," Tadao gave a somewhat surprising answer to Conan. "Someone has put a certain amount of blood in several nearby water systems before, and then performed the Luminol test at the spring here, but found nothing."

"If the blood is not enough, even Lumino can't do anything..." After thinking about it, Conan didn't say anything. Just when he was about to take a sip of water, he saw a string of words at the bottom of the pool. "?"

"In order to quell the undead sleeping in the ground, please come to Yutian Besun." After Tadao saw Conan's gaze, he immediately understood what he was looking at.

"Yutian Biezun?" The little guys obviously didn't understand the meaning of the word. "what is that?"

Of course, the pronoun of the little guys automatically eliminates Conan.

"Don't respect Yutian..." Conan sighed. "This is indeed something that should appear in Takeda Shingen's control area..."

"What do you mean?" Mitsuhiko asked in confusion. "What exactly is this Yutian Biezun?"

"This is the name of Emperor Yingjin," Conan replied. "Born in 200, inherited the position of emperor from the late Empress Jingu in 270, and then the fifteenth emperor who ruled for 40 years."

"Then why do they worship the fifteenth emperor?" Ayumi asked inexplicably.

"In Shintoism," Kubo Sayuki replied lightly. "Emperor Yingshen is the **** of war, Hachiman God."

"And Hachiman Bodhisattva is the symbol on Takeda Shingen's flag!" This time, the little guys knew the answer and shouted in unison.

"Yes," Tadao nodded approvingly. "This shrine is said to be a shrine dedicated to Hachiman God and Bishamonten."

"Bishamonten?" Both Conan and Mitsuhiko were slightly stunned, but Conan then showed a clear look, but Mitsuhiko didn't.

"But..." Mitsuhiko hesitantly said. "If I remember correctly, Bishamonten is not... isn't it a sign of Kenshin Uesugi?"

"Bishamoten is the **** of war in Buddhism, so there's nothing wrong with this." Tadao shrugged. "After all, Takeda Shingen is not a non-believer in Buddhism."

"Uh..." Conan frowned, hesitating to say anything.

"Little brother," Kubo Sayuki asked, seeing Conan's hesitation. "What's wrong?"

"Brother Tadao, aren't you a Hindu?" Conan asked after thinking about it.

"I'm only slightly interested in Shintoism, I don't understand Hinduism at all, what's wrong?" Tadao raised his eyebrows.

"Bishamonten is indeed the martial **** of Buddhism," Conan explained. "But Bishamonten is actually not an original product, but a replica transplanted from Hinduism. The body of Bishamonten is Kubera, the Hindu **** of wealth."

"God of Wealth?" Before Tadao could react, the little guys had already shouted. "Treasure?"

"This is also the best reason to enshrine Bishamonten here," Conan spread his hands. "There is a high possibility that there is something in this shrine!"

"You know a lot of things..." Saxue said half in admiration and half in disbelief. "It's so erudite!"

"That's it..." Conan's expression felt a little buoyant. "The teacher we teach Japanese history is a fan of the Warring States Period and likes these kinds of topics..."

"A teacher who teaches Japanese history!?" Sayuki was dumbfounded. (Japanese history is a subject that only high school can learn, and neither middle school nor elementary school has this course)

"Ah!" Conan explained in a panic. "It's "The Great Incident in Japanese History" broadcast on TV! I just said it wrong!"

"However. UU reading www.uukanshu.com." Conan's words suddenly turned in another direction. "I think the main hall of this shrine is weird."

"Ah-ah-" A group of crows chirped from afar—as expected there are still some animals here? However, as animals that seek benefits and avoid harm, they prefer to play their own home games in the jungle.

—————Crows naturally don’t make calls for no reason. They scream because something disturbs their lurking.

"Squeak-" Kimura and Tanaka's off-road vehicle stopped after the originally wide dirt road in the mountains turned into a sheep's intestine trail.

"Cut!" Kimura Ichiro put the notebook that he had not read a few pages on on the seat, and got out of the car—he was taking one step at a time, so he only read the first part—observing the terrain ahead. "In this case, I'm afraid there is no way to continue driving forward, we can only walk."

"Thanks for listening to you, eldest brother," Tanaka said with a wry smile. "We brought a full set of mountaineering gear... But what about those two little devils? If they were taken hostage up the mountain, it would be difficult to make sure they were under control. In case they escaped in the jungle..."

"Then leave the car here, and then lock it—" Before Kimura finished speaking, he heard Tanaka's exclamation from behind.

"what!"

"What?" Kimura was shocked and turned around quickly, only to see Kimura leaning against the left window of the driver's seat with a painful face (this is an imported off-road vehicle, so it is different from a Japanese car), his whole body curled up.

what happened?

Before Kimura could react, the two figures escaped from the passenger seat that Kimura himself opened.

"Damn!"
