This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

No matter how much you don't like to hide your head and show your tail, what disappears will never appear again.

Beichuan Temple stood up, and then looked at the low tree stump.

He saw it in the characters and scenery that had just materialized.

The tree stump in front of me is that of a cherry blossom tree.

But before the cherry blossom tree could fully grow, Mouchi Yashiki cut it down.

When Kitagawaji talked about the cherry blossom tree, he thought of the banner he found outside, The Legend of the Nursery Rhyme of the Falling Cherry Blossoms.

This legend mentioned a very key word - the Forest of Thousand Sakuras.

So does this speculation make sense?

Thousand Sakura Forest is the Forbidden Forest.

The brother of Mouchi Yingzuka, who was sent into the black coffin as a sacrifice, still has nostalgia for his sister, so his spirit body calls out the name of Mouchi Yingzuka every day through the medium of the Sakura Tree.

The reason why the cherry blossom tree was chosen as the medium is because Mouchi Hotazuka's brother was suppressed by the cherry blossom tree in the Forest of Thousand Sakuras. Under this long-term suppression, Mouchi Hotazuka's brother was able to begin to influence the cherry blossom tree located at the Mouchi family's residence.

So every night Mouchiyashiki could hear the call coming from the cherry blossom tree in the atrium, and that's why he took the thallium knife and chopped down the cherry blossom tree.

Now that things have progressed to this point, the general context has been sorted out.

Although most of them are Beichuan Temple's guesses, as long as he finds evidence... there will be no problem at all.

to this end--

Beichuanji's next target has also been officially decided.

Mou Chi's library or the head of the family's room.

Basically, it can be determined that the living rooms are on the second or even third floor. Most of the rooms on the first floor are either large lecture halls for studying or places for dining and meeting guests.

If you explore according to this standard, you will save most of Beichuan Temple's time.

But at the same time...if there are any clues on the first floor, then Beichuan Temple will have to miss it in vain.

And what kind of room is it if you go deeper into Mou Chi's house?

Beichuan Temple glanced at the road leading deeper into the atrium, and then looked at the surrounding environment. After finding nothing missing, he turned around, followed the direction of yesterday's exploration, and walked back to the furnace. Second floor.

The space environment on the second floor was as dark and dark as last night. Only the vertical light of Beichuan Temple's flashlight swept through it from time to time.

Snap, snap, snap...

Beichuan Temple moved inward step by step.

Since I had already been here once yesterday, I was already familiar with it this time.

He quickly skimmed past the first few rooms and around a small bend.

The road ahead suddenly widened. The road is divided into left and right... two parts.

Going up from the right are the steps to the third floor.

On the left is the second-floor corridor extending forward.

The corridor steps did not make Beichuan Temple hesitate. He had not finished exploring the second floor, so it was naturally impossible for him to go to the third floor.

Without thinking, Beichuanji bypassed the steps and continued walking forward, exploring the second floor.

I don't know what happened here. The walls here are dark and full of cracks.

If placed in the outside world, this kind of building would be considered a dangerous building and would never be preserved to this day.

This area of ​​cracked walls stretches straight forward with three rooms.

Kitagawa Temple thought and raised his hand to pull away the room closest to him.

Then...

Then he just came face to face with a spiteful grimace.

then--

Bang! ! ! !

A large hole was broken into the wooden floor.

Because he took a step back in time, the vicious grimace survived.

But this spiteful face looked at the scattered sawdust with a clearly dazed expression.

This... doesn't seem right?

Just when it was about to look fierce again——

Smashed crookedly?

A dark and cold voice came from the darkness.

It doesn't matter, I will hit it more accurately next time and won't make you feel painful.

Well...

Grimace was stunned again.

Then--

Bang! ! ! !

Everything became quiet again, except for the sound of the spirit falling heavily to the ground.

Beichuan Temple expressionlessly dispersed the death-qi sledgehammer in his hand, then picked up the flashlight on the ground and walked inside.

At the same time, he also didn't quite understand.

Beichuan Temple has actually eliminated many of these resentful spirits that suddenly appeared behind, at the door, above the head, and outside the window.

Such a strategy of 'suddenly appearing and surprising you'... To be honest, Kitagawa Temple has no feeling at all.

Every time he saw something like this appear, his heart was basically unmoved.

The resentful spirit that fell to the ground was not wearing a priest's uniform like Mouchi Yashiki. It should be an ordinary person who had nothing to do with the sacrifice.

The reason why he died here... I guess it was simply because he was too late to evacuate.

But... I would rather be more careful and serious, and Kitagawa Temple is not willing to give up any room that may contain clues.

There are sleeping quilts at the end of this room, and a low bookcase is placed by the window not far from the door. Next to the bookcase is a completely oxidized bamboo ruler.

Ruler?

Beichuan Temple thought of what Mou Chi Zhenshi had said before.

The large lecture hall below near the atrium is where children receive education. Since there is a ruler placed here...this also means that this was once the room where the teacher who educated the children was located.

...I wonder what useful stuff I can find here.

Beichuan Temple shook his head and walked to the desk.

To be honest, he didn't have much hope of finding any clues here.

After all, teachers have nothing to do with the aspect of sacrifice.

But you still have to see what you should see...

There were two stacks of vertical paper on the table, with dense words written on them. Kitagawaji just picked up one and took a rough look at it, and found that it was something similar to children's dictation.

Most of the main contents above are some ancient Japanese poems and prose, which are very difficult. Basically, few children can write them all correctly.

Among these assignments, Beichuan Temple even saw the name of Mou Chi Zhenshi.

This current head of the Mou Chi family can basically find more than a dozen mistakes in an ancient essay.

... Beichuan Temple.

Adhering to the principle of 'at least not returning empty-handed', Beichuan Temple silently stuffed this dark history of Mou Chi into his backpack.

That's pretty much it.

After packing his things, Kitagawaji scanned the desk again and found nothing worth looking for, so he wanted to stand up and go to the next room.

And the moment he stood up, he felt something sucking at the side of his face.

Beichuanji looked sideways.

Nishikujo was seen using her chubby arms to suck the side of his face.

The other hand waved a parchment letter in his hand.

Obviously, she made this move because she wanted to hand over the sheepskin letter in her hand to Beichuan Temple.

Kitagawaji took off the sheepskin letterhead and placed Nishikujo pitifully on his shoulder.

Where did you get this?

Beichuan Temple asked while opening the letter.

This little guy is becoming more and more elusive. Even Asamiya Nagase and Kamizumi Maki didn't notice when she disappeared.

Nishikujo puffed up his chest with a pitiful groan, then pointed his round palm at the male Wufu hanging on the wall of the room.

Beichuan Temple watched her gestures for a long time, and then asked:

You mean the letter you found in the compartment of the male Wu suit?

Nishikujo nodded pitifully and vigorously.

But at the moment when Nishikujo nodded pitifully, Kamizumi Makie, who had been silent until now, spoke.

There was a hint of disbelief in his tone.

No... Beichuan, can you understand what my poor sister was gesturing just now?

From Nishikujo's erratic, jumping and jumping movements...Can Kitagawa Temple understand so much information?

You can probably understand. Is there any problem?

Kitagawa Temple spread the letter on the desk and made a questioning sound.

...No, how on earth did you understand it?

Kamizaki Maki is completely incomprehensible.

It's my sister, isn't it natural that I can understand what she means?

Kitagawaji replied matter-of-factly.

Uh... Kamizaki Maki was speechless.

There's nothing wrong with saying that.

But Nishikujo is just your godmother, right?

Of course, the god Makie naturally did not dare to say this in front of Kitagawa Temple. She only dared to whisper a few words in her heart.

There was no longer any doubt about the presence of the god in Makie, and Beichuan Temple no longer paid attention to this salty good spirit. Instead, he began to read the letter in his hand seriously.

This letter was carried closely by the teacher. Judging from this cautious behavior, we can also know its importance.

Under the illumination of the flashlight, the contents of the letter came into view of Beichuan Temple.

‘This is the head of the family. I'm sorry to bother you by writing this letter when you are busy recently, but there is one thing I want to tell you anyway. ’

‘That young woman of unknown origin named Mouchi Yingzuka has seriously disturbed the children’s class. There were always a few children who would look at her standing in the atrium from time to time, and would come to her to ask questions after class. ’

‘The results of the silent writing of ancient prose this time are not ideal. If things continue like this, the quality of the next generation of Mou Chi’s family will be worrying. ’

‘So I beg the head of the family, can you please ask Miss Hotazuka not to stay in the atrium during school hours? ’

‘Isn’t that ceremony going to be performed soon? Although it has nothing to do with me, I still think it is best for Hotazuka-san to stay in the room and rest. ’

‘Yours sincerely, Mouchi Choichiro. ’

You can roughly understand the content of the letter at a glance. It is probably because he wants Mouchi Yingzuka to stop lingering in the atrium and disturbing the children's classes.

No wonder these naughty kids have such poor performance in dictation writing.

How can I listen carefully when my attention has been attracted by Mou Chi Yingzuka?

But before the letter could be sent out, Mouchi Changichiro died here and turned into a resentful spirit.

Other than that, there isn't much extra information.

Beichuan Temple dusted himself off and was about to get up——

His whole body suddenly rolled backwards.

At the same time, dozens of pale and twisted palms composed of resentment slammed hard on the place where he had just stood.

A big hole was opened in the wall and floor in an instant!

Bang! ! ! !

The cold wind in the forest came through the hole in the wall. Beichuan Temple's heart tightened and he turned to look at the figure standing at the door.

It was a figure with scarlet trouble wrapped around his body.

Fujin, as thick as blood, dripped onto the ground, burning through a big hole in the ground in just a blink of an eye.

It’s different from the Knife Miko and ‘Shitaka Kaguya’ who swallowed the elixir of immortality before.

The fujin on this figure has actually condensed into a liquid state!

The flesh and blood of the spirit body is covered with scarlet Fujin. It is not only the Fujin liquid that keeps sliding down, but also pieces of its flesh.

The other party's soaring resentment made Beichuan Temple frowning.

Connect...dissolve...fall...come...fall with me...

It opens an organ similar to a mouth, but there are dripping black eyes all over it, making people shudder at a glance.

The squirming palms in the shadows attacked again. Beichuanji moved his feet and avoided these palms with a few bounces.

While dodging these palms, Kitagawa Temple shook his hands, Kanesada and the Death Energy Sledgehammer appeared in his hands, and he jumped up high.

Death lingers! The blue and charming standing fire also wrapped around it!

Poof! ! ! !

Kanesada flipped and tore the opponent's body apart.

The death-qi sledgehammer also hit the head of the suddenly appearing figure heavily.

But...

It doesn't have much effect?

Beichuanji turned around and looked at the figures that were gradually squirming together, and then glanced at the death-qi sledgehammer in his hand.

The edge of the death-qi sledgehammer has been stained with scarlet fujin.

This scarlet misfortune is like a parasite, attached to the dead air sledgehammer, constantly squirming and expanding.

Seeing this situation, Beichuan Temple did not hesitate and threw the death-qi sledgehammer in his hand without hesitation at the figure whose body was filled with scarlet calamity.

The death-qi sledgehammer accurately hit the opponent's head!

But it still has no effect.

Under a disgusting squirming sound, the Death Qi Sledgehammer was swallowed up bit by bit.

Even death energy can be infected...

Beichuan Temple looked at the scarlet figure and took a deep breath.

If his Kansada hadn't been strengthened by the 'Fujin Stone', he would probably be completely infected by Fujin now like a death-qi sledgehammer, right?

Tera-kun, there is something wrong with this guy, so be careful.

Asamiya Eisei and Kamizaki Maki floated out, their pretty faces full of solemnity.

They obviously wanted to fight alongside Kitagawaji.

but--

You two go back.

Kitagawaji held Kanesada in his hands and said in a calm voice.

ah?

Asamiya Eisei and Kamizu Makie who had just come out were both stunned.

You two go back.

Beichuan Temple emphasized it again and added the reason:

The curse of this resentful spirit can erode even my death energy, so if you think about it... it won't be a problem to erode the good intentions of both of you. You two are not in a state of physical existence. If you are infected by the curse, What will happen...you don’t need to tell me, right?”

Yes!

The scarlet evil spirit in front of me... is definitely not something that can be dealt with easily!

It's definitely not worth it to deal with Asamiya Eisei and Kamizaki Makie for this.
