I accidentally died yesterday [comprehensive]

Heichuan didn't need Xu's help, he waved goodbye to the other party, and then stepped on the edge of the water tank and jumped down.

He found the head of the household and said, "There are monsters, but don't worry."

"Just a harmless little monster."

This thing is called Mingwu, also called Jiaming, and it likes to beating in the house in the dead of night.

The head of the household asked what to do, and Heichuan asked him to bring a handful of rice, which he sprinkled on the road like feeding chickens, and stepped back while spreading. Walking up the street like this, I met a passerby on the road, and the passerby asked, "Zen Master, what are you doing?"

Kurokawa said, "Feeding the invisible."

Passers-by looked puzzled after hearing this, and didn't know where they were thinking. If they met a woman, they would smile and say after hearing this answer: "The Zen master sprinkled rice on my heart, and my heart gave birth to something for no reason. joy."

He walked all the way to a deserted temple, Heichuan threw the remaining rice into the desolate courtyard, but when he was about to leave, he heard "Master" and "Master".

This is fresh.

I don't know where these Naruya learned the words, and I barely talked with these wrinkled little old men incoherently for 10 minutes. Kurokawa heard a news that the "adults" of the monster world asked these Naruya to wait where they were. Someday he will come and fetch them.

When you hear this kind of words, you think it's the beginning of some kind of conspiracy.

Kurokawa asked a few more questions, and left until Jiaming couldn't say anything. He found Monk Tianhai with doubts, and told him about it. First, the onmyoji and warlocks in Osaka City were expelled, and then the monsters Fewer, but Kurokawa thinks that the monsters hid in an organized and purposeful way.

Tianhai seems to have known about this change for a long time. He said that they met Asakura Yechun on the road a few days ago, and talked about the ritual of Yumonin.

He said one thing: "Do you still remember that many years ago, Yumenyuan said at the meeting of Onmyoji that there will be great changes in the world, and there will be people who will emerge as the times require?"

This matter has gone through many years, and many versions have evolved. The first version is that "Heaven" exists above the gods of Gaotianyuan, and "Heaven" is more and more favoring human beings instead of gods in the sky, so There will be a "come into being" to overthrow everything.

The second version is that the birth of those who came into being was not to overthrow the gods in the sky, but to ascend to the throne as a human being and rule the world at the same time.

The third version comes from monsters, to the effect that a thousand-year-old monster is about to be born, who is about to overthrow the tyranny of human beings and realize the self-government of monsters...

Did the third one get mixed in on purpose...

Tianhai said that because it is written in the two books "Ancient Matters" and "Nihon Shoki" that the emperor is the descendant of Amaterasu, so he has undisputed right to rule this land, so anyone who wants to replace the emperor The regime must set another benchmark.

A long time ago, Oda Nobunaga seemed to want to try, but now, in order to consolidate his rule, Toyotomi Hideyoshi wants to become a human god, the ancestor god of Toyotomi's lineage.

Once Toyotomi Hideyoshi is a god, his descendants also have the right to rule the mainland.

"So Ma Cang Yechun is referring to here instead?"

A long time ago, Gomonin helped the Muromachi shogunate to offer sacrifices to "Ten", but now they also offer sacrifices to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, making him a god.

"Do not."

Tianhai shook his head.

"Before the sacrifice, they have to do an experiment first."

The following news was discovered by Xu. Hearing what Tianhai said, Kurokawa knew what Xu was doing these days. Because of Xu's own characteristics, Tokugawa Ieyasu wanted him to carry out assassinations, spying, and espionage in Osaka Castle. Wait for action.

Because of a coincidence, Xu found a message from the target, to the effect that, before offering sacrifices to Toyotomi, Abe Seimei was first sacrificed.

Abe Seimei was a person hundreds of years ago. I don't know why the current things suddenly involve him.

Then the news found out showed that because Oda Nobunaga died like a joke of fate, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was full of doubts about this, so Yumonin took this opportunity to recommend him to worship his ancestor Abe Seimei to see if he could become a god.

Then the strange phenomena such as the sudden decrease of monsters in Osaka City seem to be related to a series of actions of Yumonin.

After Tianhai finished telling these secrets, he ordered Kurokawa to keep it secret, and then said that Tokugawa was the same, and wanted to follow Toyotomi's footsteps and establish a god belonging to their lineage for future generations.

Having said these words, Kurokawa just felt that these people could become gods if they wanted to become gods, and kill gods if they wanted to kill gods, which seemed a little too casual.

But at the end of the curtain, since the scientific truth that the sun in the sky is a star and the bright moon is a satellite, the belief in the gods seems to have really begun to collapse, and the gods have also become born from human desires. A forgotten existence.

The wrestling between Tokugawa and Toyotomi is still going on, and the undercurrent under the water surface is also making waves frequently.

I originally thought that this kind of thing would be very long and exhausting, but I didn't expect Toyotomi Hideyoshi to die of illness like this.

After the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the youngest son Toyotomi Hideyoshi came to power, and the god "Toyotomi Daimyojin" belonging to Toyotomi's line was also established according to the emperor's will.

Kurokawa left Osaka Castle at this time, and went to Kyushu Island with Xu to inquire about the "immortal mermaid meat".

It is said that a non-human non-fish corpse suddenly appeared on the beach of Kyushu Island. It was rotten all over, but the original shape can still be seen by identifying the appearance of the bones.

When the mermaid floated onto the beach, local rumors about mermaid meat were also rife.

This kind of matter related to longevity should be handled by Tianhai, but at this time it was the battle of Sekihara, and he stayed in Osaka City to lobby the rich and powerful, so he asked Kurokawa to come here. After receiving Tokugawa's order, he went to this place, accompanied by many members of Amaterasu Institute.

These members are Xu's subordinates in name, but they are actually guarding Xu to prevent him from escaping. After all, Xu has the cloud of the incarnation of the elixir.

A group of people came to the beach of Kyushu Island.

Heichuan dismounted first and contacted the local fisherman's chief, who flattered him and said he would take them to see the mermaid.

The mermaid was placed on the edge of the beach, in a straw hut, before Heichuan approached, he smelled a rotten stench. He approached with his mouth half covered, opened the straw mat with his Zen stick, and saw the legendary A mermaid that can live forever if eaten.

Pooh.

What a beautiful and affectionate mermaid this thing is.

It was clearly a murloc with a fish head and a human body.

The upper body is a fish head with sharp beak and thin gills, with huge fish scales, and two legs grow out of the lower body. Although the toes are webbed, it can be seen that they are two human legs.

And because the death time is too long, the smell of fish, salt, and rotting corpses are mixed together, which is as uncomfortable as it is.

The fisherman chief beside him saw Heichuan's wrinkled face, and smiled embarrassedly: "We all said that this thing can't be a mermaid, it's clearly a monster, but who knew that the news would spread, and it would change into a mermaid again and again, except you In addition, there were daimyos who came to see it before."

The chief fisherman chuckled twice, "You really look exactly the same."

What are you kidding about here.

Heichuan glanced at him, and then asked who discovered the mermaid. The fisherman chief nodded and called the fishermen who were out at sea at that time.

The fisherman was all dark, and he slowly talked about his thrilling journey outside. He cleared his throat, as if he was about to speak in a big drama.

Heichuan quickly reached out to stop him, he made a small notebook on the way, "No, no, I just want to ask you something."

"Where did you see the mermaid... the murloc?"

"It's... a bit southerly than going fishing, and it's a little closer to Nanyi." He was referring to the islands above the equator.

"When you met it, was it alive?"

The fisherman shook his head: "I don't know if it is dead or alive."

The fisherman said that he only saw a bunch of bright and delicate flowers floating on the sea.

He swore that he had never seen such a beautiful flower.

3.

Kurokawa sorted out the fishermen's words, and concluded that the weather was fine that day, and the fishermen went out to fish. Because of the good weather, they left the area they were familiar with and headed south.

Since some onmyoji spread the news here decades ago, saying that there are sea monsters eating people in the southern waters, and in the past few decades, fishermen have also been attacked, so they seldom approach south side.

The fisherman was courageous and not afraid of anything. He rowed down the boat and saw a pile of extremely beautiful flowers on the way. The beautiful ones were expensive. The fisherman wanted to sell these flowers to the local lady, so he threw down his fishing net. The fishhook dragged the flower over.

At first they thought it was light and light, but they didn't expect it to be very heavy. The fishermen thought that there was something precious growing under it, but they didn't expect to pick up the flowers to have a look. ,

The fisherman shuddered when he said this: "It grows on people."

"Mouth, eyes, back, palms, thighs, flowers are planted all over the body."

The chief fisherman spoke for him, "Although there are flowers, it's not a surprise. Green grass has grown in the sea since ancient times. It may be the first time we have seen this red flower because of our ignorance."

"Some people found it strange, so they cut off the flowers, some planted them in the ground, and some..." The fisherman's chief hesitated, "Eat..."

"The next day, we were going to go out to sea. We waited and waited but still didn't see the man. Thinking that something happened to him, we went to the door together to look for him. We opened the door and took a look... the man was clearly dead."

The fisherman chief shook his head: "No, no, that man has flowers all over his body. We think he is obviously dead, but let's try to breathe closer."

"Still, still alive."

"What about the murloc?"

Heichuan asked: "Has anyone touched the murloc's meat?"

"There is no such thing." The fisherman's chief replied, "This thing is a monster, and no one dares to eat it."

"However, some people cut off a piece with a knife and fed it to the rabbit."

"Bam—"

The fisherman's chief uttered the onomatopoeia once, "Bang bang bang—"

"The rabbit's skin was split open, and the flesh and blood seemed to be inflated, and the blood vessels could be seen clearly, and then, within a few minutes, it also exploded."

The fisherman's chief finished speaking.

Heichuan heard rustling voices from Tianzhaoyuan, and they said, "This must be the elixir."

"It's the flesh and blood of..."
