Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1313 The inevitability of the curse

   "Can this all go missing?! Then this might really be the Shenyin incident." Yin En said in surprise.

   Uncle Eight sighed and said a little depressedly: "Yeah, we all think this is a mysterious incident, because we really can't find any clues about Meizi's disappearance."

  Plum?

   Liu Xing raised his brows. He didn't expect Taichi Hiramoto's sister to be called Meizi.

   However, the name plum is very common in island countries, so it is normal to have the same name. . . wrong!

   If there are people with the same name in normal times, Liu Xing will only think it is a coincidence, but now, there have actually been three people with the same name - Sakai Meizi, Yamashita Meizi and Ben Meizi.

   Of course, more importantly, Sakai plum and Yamashita plum can be said to be exactly the same, and although this Hiramoto plum has not shown her true colors, Liu Xing estimates that she may be somewhat similar to Sakai plum. . . etc!

  Thinking of this, a bold idea suddenly appeared in Liu Xing's mind, that is, will Hiramoto plums be Yamashita plums?

   Probably not, right?

Liu Xing thought about it for a while, but still rejected the idea, because Yamashita Umezi and Ben Meizi's age are not the same, and Kujing Village has very little communication with the outside world, but from the previous statement of Hiramoto Taichi, since Yamashita Umezi and Ben Meizi are not the same age, and Kujing Village has very little communication with the outside world To be called the first beauty in this area, it means that the appearance of Yamashita plum is still well known by many people, so if Yamashita plum is really Hiramoto plum, then the people of Jinyu Village would have already called Kujing Village. .

   Besides, why did Yamashita Tatsumi find someone else's daughter as his own? It didn't do him any good.

   But then again, what is so special about that fish pond that it is worth the secret church to hold a ceremony at the original site of the fish pond in the future, and send his group to this world?

Regarding the answer to this question, Liu Xing felt that he must not be able to come up with it, so he asked directly: "By the way, Uncle Ba, your fish pond seems to be a little far from the village, so you didn't have anything to keep the fish pond away at that time. What about near the village?"

   "Isn't that afraid of accidents?"

Uncle Ba said with a wry smile: "Although our fish pond is less than one meter deep, if someone accidentally falls into the pond, it is very easy to cause an accident, because if he can fall into the fish pond, it means that the state of the person at that time is abnormal. Yes, it's either drinking or lack of concentration, and people are very easy to panic when drowning. At this time, this person is likely to lose the ability to perceive the surrounding situation, and he will walk away in all likelihood. I'm afraid he just needs to stand up and save himself."

"And what's the reason for those fish? These fish were swimming well in the water, but suddenly they fell down and a person scared them all. At that time, the fish would also swim around, and the drowning people were finding these fishes. When the fish hits you, you will definitely be startled again; but as far as I know, some adults will even drown in half a meter deep water, so you don't set the fish pond in the village. The neighborhood is correct, not to mention that when there is no other place to play, those children will definitely choose to come to the fish pond to catch fish." Yin En continued.

Eighth Uncle nodded and said with a wry smile: "In the end, we did all the calculations, and we really didn't calculate that this mysterious incident would actually happen. Fortunately, the Hiramoto family are all reasonable people, so they didn't think about it. Embarrassing us... Although I also think that our fish pond is not wrong at all; for, the reason why we built the fish pond next to that intersection is mainly because there was an eminent monk chanting sutras at that intersection."

   High monks chanting sutras?

   What is this operation?

Liu Xing and Yin En both looked at Uncle Ba with a puzzled look, while Uncle Ba continued with a smile: "This story can be traced back to the Warring States Period for hundreds of years, when we in Nagoya were the site of the Oda family. , and Oda Nobunaga you all know, and the local temple has always been very difficult to deal with, and later even the fire of Mount Hiei happened, which made Oda Nobunaga a great devil in the eyes of Buddhism. "

"So, some monks in Nagoya began to leave one after another, lest they be set on fire by Oda Nobunaga that day, so monks often pass by us to the seaside, and then take boats to other places, After all, the island country at that time was in a state of turmoil, and the daimyo from all over the country were fighting hard, so it was very easy to suffer the disaster of swords and soldiers by land, so the waterway should be safer, of course, if you encounter black ships, it is another matter."

"So one day, a monk passed by our Goldfish Village and stayed for a meal, because this monk was an old friend of the then head of Goldfish Village, and this monk was also from a well-known temple near Nagoya. The host was also a staunch opponent of Oda Nobunaga, so Oda Nobunaga directly expelled him; after the meal, the village chief at the time was worried that there would be pursuers from the Oda family, so he brought a few young men with him. The villagers escorted the monks away."

"At that time, there was a tree at the intersection next to the fish pond, and that tree may have been hundreds of years old, but this tree was hit by a thunderstorm a month before the monk passed by, that is, during a thunderstorm. It was split into two halves, but because the tree was a few years old, the villagers did not dare to put it upside down and put firewood; and the eminent monk stopped and recited a paragraph after seeing the tree. The scriptures then said that this big tree can be cut down, but it must also be burned on the spot, and then the charcoal and ash will be buried directly."

"So the village chief at that time cut down the tree according to the advice of the eminent monk, then burned it and buried it directly. In the next few years, the grain harvest in our Jinyu Village was half as fast as before, so the villagers felt that This is because the monks recited the scriptures. After that, although the harvest of our Goldfish Village returned to normal, our Goldfish Village and the nearby villages have never been short of water, even in the driest years... But speaking of this The drought, I thought of another story."

   Drought? story?

   Drought?

When Liu Xing thought about the drought, Yin En had already said, "Drought? That shouldn't be the case. Nagoya is not far from the sea, so from a scientific point of view, it is impossible for Nagoya to lack water, because in the ocean Water will evaporate to form water vapor, and then the water vapor will be blown to Nagoya with the sea breeze. At that time, as long as the conditions are met, it will start to rain. Besides, the groundwater resources at the seaside are also very rich, so as long as a few wells are drilled, there is no need to worry. Water is coming."

"It's true, but in more than 100 years, there was a major drought, and it was accompanied by several earthquakes. In short, there were not a few rains that year, and the groundwater was also destroyed by the earthquake. Diversion, the surrounding villages are full of sorrow, because there is no water to use, but the fields and wells on our side are all normal; but it is precisely because of this reason that our Goldfish Village has become a village in the eyes of other villages. Fragrant pastry."

"If you want to come to Jinyu Village to fetch water, then you have to have a statement, so the surrounding villages came to marry our Jinyu Village. As a result, there was no single person in Jinyu Village at that time, and there would be a wedding banquet in three or five days. This was originally a very happy thing, but it didn't take long for a tragedy to occur. To put it simply, a pair of lovers separated because of their parents' words, so the woman who was married to Jinyu Village took poison and committed suicide. , and her lover died because of it."

"Everyone doesn't want to see this kind of thing happen, so we didn't say much, and sent the remains of the pair of desperate mandarin ducks back. As a result, who would have thought that these two corpses would disappear in a few days. They flew away, so everyone thought that the two were feigning death to facilitate their elopement; by the way, the unlucky man was the ancestor of the Hiramoto family. It is said that he used to be a samurai, and he was a guard at the beginning. Join our Goldfish Village."

"Huh? It's interesting. Although the warriors from more than 100 years ago are already worthless, many warriors still maintain their last pride as nobles, and generally do not come to look after others' homes, especially in It's a small village, so the ancestor of the Hiramoto family is a bit informal." Yin En couldn't help but said.

The eighth uncle smiled again, and said, "That's true, but the old ancestor of the Hiramoto family seems to have offended someone in the city, so he can't stay in the city anymore, so he can only aggrieved himself. But when it comes to the Hiramoto family, I remember that the Hiramoto family seems to have a samurai sword, and someone came up with a high price to buy this samurai sword, but it was rejected by the Hiramoto family on the first floor."

"How can the things of the ancestors be sold casually? But a samurai sword can be preserved for so many years, which means that the background of this samurai sword is not small, and the materials used for forging should also be good." Liu Xing ate the fish, He said, "I also like to collect this kind of samurai sword, because it looks very cool, so is the Hiramoto family interested in selling this samurai sword now?"

"Then I don't know, because I haven't seen the eldest son of the Hiramoto family for a long time, and I think if he is willing to sell it, he will only sell it to the big bosses in the city. After all, the samurai sword is quite a thing. Popular; but I don't have a katana sword in my house, but I have an old antique in my house."

Eighth Uncle got up and went back to his room, and walked out of the room after a while, "This is it, it is also a good treasure passed down by my ancestors, unless it is my family's last resort, otherwise my family will not sell it. out."

   Liu Xing looked at the big pearl in front of him and nodded and said, "This pearl is indeed a good treasure. If you take it out for auction now, Uncle Ba, you can become a millionaire at any time."

   The "million" in Liu Xing's mouth naturally refers to a beautiful knife.

   "Hey, I also know that this pearl can make me rich, but I dare not sell this pearl casually, because this pearl has its own curse."

The eighth uncle put the pearl in front of Liu Xing and Yin En, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, this wealth must not be revealed, otherwise it is very likely that the money will be ruined, but this pearl will not. It's the same, because after my ancestors fished out this pearl from the sea, it caused a sensation around that time, and also attracted a group of people with ulterior motives. As a result, this pearl was stolen and robbed more than ten times. It’s still back in our hands, as for those thieves, robbers, or merchants and nobles, they all carried this pearl and ruined their families, and their wives were separated.”

   "I'll go, is this pearl so mysterious?" Yoon En said in surprise.

Uncle Eight shrugged and said in a pretentious manner: "Then little brother, you can come and try it? If you were holding this pearl when you were going down the mountain, I am afraid that the clip will directly open your aorta. And then the rust on this clip will give you tetanus."

  Yoon En also shook his head very cooperatively, pretending to be afraid.

"Haha, this pearl is not really that mysterious, because the people who took this pearl through abnormal means are definitely not good people, so they often walk by the roadside, and there is no one who does not wet their shoes, so These guys will have an accident in a few days. Of course, the accident here is inevitable. For example, the thief is caught by the government or blackmailed. The more and more the matter spread, the more mysterious it became, and this pearl was crowned with the name of a curse."

Eighth Uncle put away the pearl and said with a smile: "But this is a good thing for my family, because then there will be no villains to come to trouble us, but this pearl also becomes a bit difficult to sell, because buying The family is also worried that the curse will attack indiscriminately, and it will be bad if they are also attacked by that time."

   When Uncle Eight went back to put the pearl, Liu Xing looked at Yin En and said, "Do you think this pearl will be a prop?"

"I think Xuan, or this pearl may be a prop in this world, but when we leave this world, it will become an ordinary pearl, because according to our previous speculation, this world is in the eyes of a child The world, so if he has heard the story of this pearl, then this pearl may really have its own curse, and the effect is very powerful, but this is all based on the imagination of the child."

  Yoon En said with certainty: "But I think there may be a real problem with that fish pond, so let's go back to the fish pond and take a look? Maybe that tree back then was the reason why we appeared here."

   As soon as Yin En finished speaking, the eighth uncle came out, so Liu Xing and the two hurriedly ate dinner.

  After eating and drinking, Liu Xing and the two returned to the empty house.
