Chapter 626 Tsurumi Aoi

Hanruo's research on the cursed items in the box has finally ended.

According to her analysis, this part of the material is not complete, but only part of the original box.

Although the material itself is quite evil, it is not enough to directly attract the attention of Anyu Kami.

If Kamiya and others want to face the cursed god of the ugly time, they may have to collect the other materials in the box first.

In addition, Hanruo was also a personal participant in the previous Taira Masakado incident. Based on the experience of that time, Hanruo reasonably speculated that if Anyu Kami, who is currently in an abnormal state, wants to escape and descend, he may have to find a suitable "container".

Container for the descent of the gods.

The body of Taira Masakado last time was suitable, but now the body of the ghost emperor, except for the head, no longer exists.

At present, there are probably only two people who can be regarded as "containers" by Anyu Kami-

The legendary Taki Yashahime and Aoyagi of Kobinze.

Now it is known that there are only two people who have performed the Ugly Time worship and succeeded.

However, whether it is Taki Yashahime thousands of years ago or Aoyagi nearly a hundred years ago, whether they are still alive in this world in some form is still unknown.

The clues related to Anyu Jiamei are interrupted here.

If Kamiya Kawa wants to continue, he must either find the remaining sub-box materials or find two possible containers.

However, after confirming that he does not have to face Anyu Jiamei at this stage, Kamiya is still somewhat fortunate.

Next, we should seize the opportunity to strengthen our own strength.

Development is the hard truth!

The stronger our side is, the greater the chance of winning when we confront the righteous gods in Huangquan in the future.

In addition to Anyu Jiamei, who already has a lot of hatred, Kamiya Kawa is now quite concerned about another god, that is, Enmusubi.

Yausikup said that she felt the breath of the sun on the two relics of Enmusubi.

The Spider Mother Goddess is now replacing the Old God of the Root Earth to control the sun authority of this land, so her feeling should not be wrong.

As for Enmusubi, this god should be a god from the traditional Japanese Shintoism.

If he is related to the sun in Shintoism, then he is related to Amaterasu.

And Amaterasu is the previous owner of Takamagahara and the old leader who stands on the opposite side of the underworld. Assuming that Enmusubi and Amaterasu have a close relationship, it is very likely that this god of marriage is a friend rather than an enemy.

Among the gods that are currently known and have not completely fallen,

Anyu Kami is a complete enemy.

The whereabouts of the craftsman ancestor god Jinshan God are unknown, his state is abnormal, and he is madly persecuting the ghost story craftsmen who believe in him.

There is also an Eastward voyager whose name cannot be called directly. Kamiya and his apprentice are good friends, but the old man himself seems to be developing in an indescribable direction.

Looking at the new Takamagahara forces, there is no one to rely on directly.

If Enmusubi has not fallen yet, and is sober and friendly, then it is worth contacting and winning over.

But think about it carefully, even if the optimistic assumptions about the God of Enmusubi are correct, he is still a part of the old Takama-ga-hara power.

It is hard to say how much the old people of the previous dynasty can identify with the new Takama-ga-hara regime led by Kamiya Kawa.

After all, the iron must be strong. The thriving new Takama-ga-hara power may seek opportunities for support from the old gods, but the first priority is to ensure its own development and strength.

Thinking of this, Kamiya Kawa knows that he still has a long way to go.

…

A high-end apartment in Chiyoda District, Japan.

Tsurumi Aoi carried the sword bag and pushed open the door of her house. Too many things happened today, making her exhausted.

Clang.

The girl put the sword bag casually at the entrance and turned on the lights at home.

The bright light leaked everywhere and fell on the modern and neat furniture, but even so the whole house still looked very deserted.

Tsurumi Aoi has gotten used to it.

She originally lived alone in Tokyo to study and studied at Edogawa High School in Edogawa District, and has been promoted to the third year of high school.

Her family only has her father and uncle, both in Ibaraki Prefecture.

Ibaraki is not particularly far from Tokyo, and it takes about an hour to get back.

However, Tsurumi Aoi rarely goes to her father's place on weekends. She usually goes to her uncle's Kuromiya Kendo Hall to practice Jiken-ryu Kendo for a day.

The girl took off her coat and put her hands into her sweatshirt.

Click.

The buckle on her chest was unfastened, and Tsurumi Aoi took out a white underwear with a small bow decoration through the sweatshirt. She immediately felt her breath was free, and she sat down on the sofa with a long sigh.

She began to recall what happened at the Otemachi platform in the evening.

The girl who committed suicide had a very ominous aura on her body.

And after saving that girl, she seemed to be entangled by something, Tsurumi Aoi felt this way.

On the way home, passers-by who met her avoided her.

However, Tsurumi Aoi was used to being alone and didn't like to deal with others. She was indeed a somewhat gloomy person as she looked. So when the eight-point curse first manifested itself on her, she didn't feel overly uncomfortable.

Of course, with Tsurumi Aoi's current perception, she couldn't realize that "the thing that was entangled with her" was a curse.

She also didn't know the severity of the eight-point curse.

"Will Lord Mahakala's power of protection dispel the bad luck on me? Or do I need to contact my father..."

The girl sitting on the sofa frowned and thought so.

After thinking for a while, Tsurumi Aoi suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere at home.

The temperature in the room where the air conditioner was already turned on seemed to drop a few degrees.

The chandelier in the living room, which had been shining steadily and brightly, began to flicker as if it had poor contact.

Zizi, Zizi--

The noisy sound of electricity came from the top of the head, and the light flickered.

In addition, Tsurumi Aoi also heard the sound of dripping water.

The sound of the faucet was not closed tightly, and it came clearly from the direction of the bathroom.

Soon, the dripping sound turned into the sound of rushing water.

The turbid sewage flowed out along the crack of the bathroom door, reflecting the faint light under the overlapping light and dark lights.

Following.

Snap, snap, snap.

The subtle footsteps seemed to be someone stepping on the sewage step by step.

The bathroom door slammed open.

Tsurumi Aoi saw a hunched and thin figure standing in the dark bathroom. Then the light flickered, and the outline of the other person could be roughly seen. It seemed to be an old lady, only about 1.5 meters tall, with gray and messy hair, and the blue cloth on her body was wrinkled into a mess.

Snap, snap.

There was the sound of wet footsteps stepping on water stains again.

The old lady always had her back to Tsurumi Aoi, and walked out of the bathroom backwards in a posture that could not be described as natural or weird.

She seemed to be holding something in her hand, but she could not see it clearly because she could only see her back.

Snap, snap.

When the old lady walked backwards, she was on tiptoe.

So that her hunched figure would rise and fall, and move up and down with her footsteps in the room where light and dark intertwined.

Tsurumi Aoi, who was still sitting on the sofa, didn't know whether she was frightened by the sudden horror scene or what, and she didn't move.

The old lady followed the water stains on the floor and moved backwards until she stopped at the corner of the sofa.

She squatted down slowly.

Tsurumi Aoi could see what the other person was holding in his hand. It was a big wooden basin.

But he didn't know what was in it.

Swish, swish.

The rustling sound of washing came out, and the old lady was washing something in the wooden basin vigorously.

While washing, she opened her mouth hoarsely and sang in a strange tone: "Washing red beans, catching people to eat, swish, swish..."

Swish, swish.

The lights in the room dimmed.

The scouring sound suddenly stopped.

The old lady squatting at the corner of the sofa turned her head suddenly and looked at the girl on the sofa.

She had a big nose and her face was full of pits and pimples. The cracked lips opened wide, revealing a mouthful of irregular yellow teeth, and the turbid old eyes flashed with greed: "Catch people to eat, catch people..."

The next second, the old woman who met Tsurumi Aoi's eyes stopped talking.

The ferocious expression on her face also turned into horror. She saw that the girl on the sofa had a flowing golden breath overflowing!

Zizi.

The lighting in the room suddenly stabilized, and the hunchbacked and terrifying old woman disappeared.

This strange story ran away.

Only Tsurumi Aoi still sat on the sofa in her original posture. The expression on the girl's face became more gloomy. She gritted her teeth and looked at the dirty water on the ground. The voice was almost squeezed out from her teeth: "It will be difficult to clean up."

...

After Tsurumi Aoi cleaned up the house, it was already very late.

She was exhausted physically and mentally.

The strange story that appeared at home just now was also the first time Tsurumi saw it, but he could roughly guess what it was-

Azuki Washi.

And the type of old woman like the one just now is generally called Granny Washi.

It is a monster that makes a rustling sound like washing red beans. It usually appears by the water and sometimes sings while washing beans.

If someone is curious and approaches the sound, she will drag them into the water and drown.

"This is the third time a monster has appeared in my home in Tokyo."

Tsurumi Aoi is already accustomed to this.

She has often encountered such strange stories since she was a child.

Monsters seem to be easily attracted by the blessing of the god of fortune on her, but if they get too close to her, they will be forced back by the protective power of the blessing.

It has always been like this.

Tsurumi Aoi's family is a family of monks of the Nichiren sect, and they run Yoshikoji Temple in Ibaraki.

The temple enshrines Daikokuten, one of the Seven Lucky Gods, and the Tsurumi family has been blessed by the power of this god for generations.

Her family had produced several very powerful exorcists. With the power of the god of fortune, Daikokuten, the descendants of the Tsurumi family were originally very good at fortune-telling and assisting other exorcists in exorcism battles.

But that was a long time ago.

Like now, the Tsurumi family has been declining in the exorcism world.

When Tsurumi Aoi's mother was still alive, she was just a second-rate exorcist in the countermeasures room.

Although it is true that it is difficult for ordinary ghost stories to directly harm the people of the Tsurumi family because of the protection of Daikokuten's power, the descendants of the Tsurumi family have less and less mastery of the family's skills in modern times.

As for Tsurumi Aoi...

Even though she has the blessing of the god of fortune like her mother, she has no talent for learning skills.

The blessing of the god of fortune is more like a passive protection, which can protect Tsurumi Aoi from harm, but it cannot be used to actively fight ghost stories.

Like the Doushiro Granny just now, although Tsurumi is not afraid of her, the subsequent ghost story chooses to run away, and Tsurumi can't actually do anything to her.

In addition, only Tsurumi's mother is mentioned about the Tsurumi family, not her father who is still alive.

That's because her mother is the heir of the Tsurumi family.

Tsurumi's mother is an only daughter. According to the rules of her family's temple generations, when there are no male descendants in the family, the only daughter cannot marry out and change her husband's surname, and must inherit the family's property.

The way of inheritance is through recruiting a son-in-law.

The son-in-law must marry into Tsurumi's family and become a monk, becoming the nominal host of the temple of the woman.

Tsurumi's parents are in free love, but his father is willing to marry into the temple as a monk for his lover.

This is why Tsurumi Aoi's surname is "Tsurumi", while her uncle who runs the kendo hall has the surname "Kuromiya".

Kuromiya is her original father's surname.

After tidying up the house, Tsurumi Aoi no longer has the heart to think about the Otemachi platform.

It's too late now, let's talk about it tomorrow.

It would be best if Lord Mahakala could handle the things brought from the platform. It should be possible. After all, every time she encountered something strange, Tsurumi Aoi would dream of the strange and furious statue of the god worshipped by her family.

If there is still something abnormal tomorrow, then contact her father.

Although Yoshikoji Temple has declined, there are still connections in the official countermeasures room.

Tsurumi Aoi took a simple shower and lay down on the soft big bed. Because she was too tired, she fell asleep soon.

I don’t know how long it took.

She had a dream and was able to clearly realize that she was sleeping.

Tsurumi Aoi is very familiar with this situation.

After that, she will see the statue of Mahakala at home in her dream, which is different from that of other temples, and the god of fortune will protect her.

In this way, the abnormality on her body should not be a problem.

The dream was chaotic and dark.

Soon some silhouettes appeared.

But then, for some reason, Tsurumi Aoi did not see the familiar angry statue in the temple at home.

Instead, she saw the wind and snow all over the sky.

She saw several figures standing in the snow and wind ahead.

She could see black haori with gold patterns, purple and white futon, and red and black dress swaying in the snow and wind, but she couldn't see the specific appearance of the people wearing these clothes.

The red and black dress especially attracted Tsurumi Aoi's attention.

She wanted to get closer in her dream to see the figure in front of her clearly. But then, the floating purple and white futon shook twice, and the slender and white palm in the wide cuffs waved down.

Tsurumi Aoi's body suddenly relaxed, and several black threads broke from her body.

"Ugh!"

Tsurumi Aoi suddenly woke up from her sleep, and her back was soaked with thin sweat without knowing when.
