My shikigami is number one in the world

This time, Li Jingdu, which is displayed in front of my eyes, is not as grand and treacherous as last time.

When Xia Youjie opened his eyes, he felt the cold wetness on his skin, the sky was raining lightly, and they were in a cross street that could be seen everywhere, surrounded by residents' houses and trees, and the walls surrounding the houses were mottled , There are also many leaflets posted on the telephone poles.

It is a quiet and light rainy night, and the modern buildings, roll-type rain doors and metal mailboxes are covered with rust.Xia Youjie asked, "Where is this place?"

The young man raised his hand to support his head, looked at the poster on the telephone pole, and vaguely recognized a few words, "It's a period of the Showa era."

The Showa era is only a few decades away from modern times, no wonder there is almost no sense of the times, Xia Youjie is inexplicable: "Will the fox in feather clothes be in such a place?"

99 looked at him strangely, "Who said we are going to meet a fox in feather clothes?"

He thought for a while, and then said, "But it's not bad, I also met her through Yu Yihu, I don't know if they are girlfriends?"

Xia Youjie vaguely remembered that Yuyihu was a monster in the Heian period, and also reincarnated in the Qingchang period, which means that the woman he will meet in the 99th Dynasty should also be a very "old" monster.

A thousand-year-old girlfriend, um...

In particular, 99 Chao secretly told him not to read the name of Yuyihu too much, it was easy to be heard by the deity in Lijingdu, but Xia Youjie felt that this time it was basically the same as seeing Yuyihu.

"But what big monster would be in such a place?" Xia Youjie asked.

"She's not a big monster, she was a famous beauty in the late Heian period," 99 Chao explained, "but you know that our former beauties are more... don't care about it."

It means that few famous women in history actually cared about the comments of later generations on their appearance. In ancient times, Empress Tanlin of Ono Komachi let wolves, leopards and wild birds eat her own corpse, warning others that there was nothing but bones under the skin .Up to now, Xia Youjie followed the boy for a stroll and finally saw a mobile Tsukudani shop on this unknown street of Showa, the lights were especially bright in the dark night.

99 ran towards him, and the shadow on the ground was reflected as a little fox lifted the curtain on the shop and got in.

This kind of mobile shop that requires strength to push away has always been run by men. Xia Youjie lifted the cloth and sat down, and found that the boss was actually a woman, a middle-aged woman, with an ordinary appearance, a big heart, and a fat body. The black landline is talking on the phone.

When she saw 99 Chao, she smiled in surprise, not at all reserved like the people in Kyoto, "It's coming!"

99 Chao grinned, "Two bowls of rice with soup, I want to add some plums."

Ten minutes later, Xia Youjie looked at the soup and rice in front of him, and wanted to know what kind of monster this proprietress was.

It's so lifelike, isn't it true that humans accidentally pushed carts here for business?

The "old" and the young next to him had already chatted. It was probably 99 Chao who asked in the tone and tone of "the most understanding of older women's psychology" if he could not tell Yu Yihu that he was a guest. Just like a child who goes out for a walk late at night with his parents on his back.The proprietress also understood very well, she glanced at Xia Youjie with a smile, nodded and said yes, and then praised the fox's eyes as expected, he hadn't seen him in half a year, and there was a man who came out for a walk with him, that's fine.

99 Chao: ...

I'm still a child, what are you talking about, I don't understand.

Forget it, who told him that he came here to ask for help, so he kept smiling, nodded and accepted the compliment, "Yeah!"

While eating, 99 Chao told about the old knife maker.

After hearing this, the proprietress gave a strange smile, she was not filled with righteous indignation or ambiguity, she just sighed, "Sure enough, there are still people like this."

The strangeness of this smile in Xia Youjie's eyes was that it was so dusty, the corners of the wrinkled eyes could reveal an aura that did not belong to this age, and then the landlady's skin turned pale, and a little crack appeared on the edge.She pressed her face in panic, "Hey, this is a newly collected skin. I can't help but drop it when I hear a story similar to the master's."

While the proprietress was touching up her makeup, 99 Chao told Xia Youjie: "The proprietress is a painted skin. Her real name was Kaosha Yuqian, and she likes to collect the skins of women killed by men."

Xia Youjie was even more surprised by the name Kasaya Yuqian than the name of Painted Skin. Yuqian means a respectable wife. It happened that in the recent reading class of 99 Chaos, it was said that Kassa Yuqian was one of the famous beauties in ancient times. , Dignified and beautiful, because a famous military general fell in love at first sight and asked her to leave her husband and put her in his arms, but Kasao Yuqian refused, and was threatened by the military general that if he could not be with her, he would kill her mother and then commit suicide.

Later, Kasaya had no choice but to ask, "If you really want to be with me, please kill my husband, so that we can be together."

The general agreed without thinking, and followed her instructions to sneak into her husband's bedroom at night, and chopped off the husband's head.The general was ecstatic after he got it, and he lifted the quilt and put it into the moonlight, but was stunned. What he cut off was not the man's head, but the head of Kasaya Yuqian. She received the knife instead of her husband.

The general was shocked, and later wept while cleaning his sword in a nearby pond.

The water in the pool was stained red with blood, and it became the entrance of Li Kyoto that Xia Youjie and 99 Chao had just entered, the place of red pond in Kyoto.

In the Buddhist temple on the east bank of the Kamo River that the two passed by together, there is the head mound in front of the cassock emperor.

So why is the deity here! ?

The proprietress sighed regretfully when she saw the fine marks on her face that couldn't be repaired, and didn't plan to save them.

The woman's pale and swollen face was completely cracked, revealing the high bridge of the nose and the flawless nasal bone. The old skin was sluggish and peeled off spontaneously. Wooden spoons, clouds of purple smoke billowed like clouds, and even the bright little lights on the roof of the shop dimmed and turned a creepy red.

The side face of a woman as beautiful as a ghost was faintly visible in the smoke under the lamp. She saw the surprise in Xia Youjie's eyes, and she walked out gracefully from the mist. A few minutes ago, her fat body and aging skin had all changed. The kimono with a long neckline dragged a long tail, and the corner of his mouth was raised and he blew into the young man's eyes.

99 Chao: Auntie, please don't make fun of our Shikigami.

"Your shikigami is indeed a newcomer," Kasaya Yuqian stood up with a smile, "Why don't you give me a good training?"

99 towards: ?

A while ago, this shikigami friend said that I was well trained, why don't you guys quarrel?

The boy didn't know what expression to put on, and so did Xia Youjie.Kasaya Yuqian straightened up with a sweet smile, and slowly answered the question in the latter's heart, "Since I am here, of course it is because I was born as a monster. Those two men who only know how to indulge in beauty have been thrown away by me long ago." Go to hell."

The proprietress who made chazuke suddenly turned into a peerless beauty.Xia Youjie was a little confused, he remembered that "birth" is the process of a person directly turning into a monster, but what did Kao Sha Yuqian do to become a monster?

Who are those two men? Are they her husband and the military general who fell in love with her? This kind of cloudy lines will only make people make up a love-hate entanglement and finally the beauty of the old lady. Xia Youjie doesn't Dare to judge.

"Come on, Xia You, let me tell you, women are terrifying... Aww!" 99 Chao leaned over to secretly tell him the truth, but was patted on the head by Kasao Yuqian, and the bright red nails poked his face lightly, Don't dare to talk nonsense.

Kasaya Yuqian said, "But I remembered it. 50 years ago, I heard that there seemed to be a ghost from the countryside, but no monster has ever seen him."

"Heavenly evil ghost?"

"I wanted to compete with him at first, but no one could find him, a monster like Tianxiegui who likes to attract people to do evil and never dares to show his face. You said that this man heard a voice from outside the wall, maybe that The one who stood outside the wall at that time was Tianxiegui. Maybe he came to Kyoto with him 50 years ago, trying to instigate him to do bad things again."

Human beings sometimes have a kind of sudden malice. In fact, you can find omens by scratching the cocoon. Tian Xiegui is a monster who magnifies this omen. He is treacherous and cunning. He likes to see people doing evil and seeing people feel guilty.

As for what the old swordsmith was instigated to do behind the scenes, that would require further investigation.

99 Chao was not very satisfied with this new task, but the next day after returning, he still tried to ask Xin Taisen.

If there is really a ghost behind the old knife maker, and he is an ordinary person, it is easy to find out if there are any abnormalities in his daily behavior and work.

Xin Taisen: "Uncle's work and the people he has been in contact with recently...?"

Xin Taisen didn't ask how the 99 Dynasty investigation was going, but he thought for a while and answered truthfully, "Uncle has never been a person who cares about money. When he got old, he only took on some public welfare projects and helped collectors who love swords to do repairs. and maintenance, and many museums invite him for a long time..."

99 Chaodu's eyes slowly fell on Xia Youjie's must-see local news station every day.

[On December 12, the Heisei Zhixin Building of the National Museum was vandalized again. This is the fifth case after Halloween. The glass curtain wall of the Zhixin Building has been demolished temporarily. This time, the exhibition hall was damaged A wall. It is said that behind the wall is one of the national treasures that came to the museum a month ago and will be displayed during the spring vacation. The Tokyo National Museum has also sent an inquiry. 】

[The local police station has not caught the suspect so far... The general public is asking the museum official to give a reasonable explanation. After the shareholders' collections are included in the collection, the museum without protection capabilities will fall into an unprecedented crisis of trust! 】

A video on the TV is from a candid shot, shaking violently, it is likely that a reporter broke into the scene and was chased out by the security.

The so-called destroyed wall on the shaking screen is actually nothing serious, but it was splashed with a large amount of red liquid, like blood.

On the vertical wall, there is a paw print, like a ghost climbing over the wall, leaving dirty scratches.

Xin Taisen: "The National Museum is closed recently, and the museum took advantage of this time to ask my uncle to take care of the collection of swords in the museum."

"..."

"what happened?"

"No, nothing, I was just thinking..."

The boy's tone was unclear, "Sure enough, it's connected."

The author has something to say:

Cases have also appeared near my place. Alas, I wanted to go to fes, everyone should pay attention to epidemic prevention!
