Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1480 1152. Traceability

"It's just to clean up the [residue]." Among the old people who should be of the parents' generation, the old man raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat with his shiny black cuffs, and then subconsciously retorted, "It's such a trouble. ”

He and his son are both urban farmers and have long been accustomed to bargaining before negotiating.

They still think that ignorance is just here to increase the price of the task.

But the demon hunter had already raised his hand impatiently: "I told you earlier, it's not a matter of adding more money, it's just that the [filth] in your house is very troublesome, and it's not an ordinary thing!"

The old man choked and turned away.

But Lan En watched carefully. When he turned his face, he curled his lips and rolled his eyes. He still didn't seem to believe it.

But whether he believed it or not, the person in charge in a farming family would only be the strong laborer, that is, the strong male owner of the house.

"Your family often hears babies crying under the non-existent floor, right?" Wu Ming asked him first. "You told me before that there was a miscarriage in your family. So you suspected that it was [Zihu]'s entanglement."

The man nodded dully, while the woman beside him looked miserable.

"But we have already paid for a wandering monk who is often at the temple to perform rituals." The man continued, "But, I just don't know why the [dirty] still appears. It's been three years! "

The woman beside him didn't speak, she just hugged the little boy in her arms tightly.

The boy looked to be five years old and must be the brother of the aborted child.

"Ren Zi No. 20." Lan En suddenly interrupted and announced the house number, "Do you know this family? Or have you been in contact with them recently?"

"No. 20, Renzi?" The man of the house thought for a while, with a confused look on his face, "Where is it two streets away from here? No, I don't pass by there when I work, I haven't even been to that street."

"Where is the rest of the family?"

Under Lan En's follow-up questioning, everyone looked at each other in confusion, then shook their heads.

"Have you never had any contact?" Wu Ming frowned and sighed in distress.

She supported her knees and stood up from the sitting position of Da Ma Jin Dao, ready to find another direction to investigate.

None of this family had complicated backgrounds, so she didn't think there was any possibility of them deceiving her.

[Zanhui] When this kind of thing really needs to be dealt with by someone, few fools will choose to ignore him. Such people should have become extinct in ancient times.

The family looked uneasy. It seemed that they had become anxious after hearing Wu Ming say that this matter was not simple.

But just when Wuming wanted to pull Lan En and walk out from the door, the demon hunter held her shoulders instead.

Lan En seemed to inadvertently pat the thin wooden wall of this room with his palm, but it could at least block the wind.

"Your house and the house at Renzi No. 20 are not next to each other, and they are not even in the same line horizontally and vertically."

"But let me tell you the truth, that family was found dead yesterday."

Lan En looked at the family. Except for the children who didn't quite understand, their expressions were first shocked, and then full of fear.

Looking at their expressions, Lan En added another fire at the right time.

"That person was not killed by the summoned monsters and demons, but directly committed suicide due to the influence of [Remnant]."

"Since you are sure that you have nothing to do with that family and have never had any contact. I can only guess whether it is your land."

Lan En didn't finish his words, and as if he was ignorant just now, he tapped his toes lightly on the ground.

But the same action refers to completely different things.

Generally speaking, it is extremely bad to be able to leave "filth" in a room that can infect other people and cause death.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

And the influence that can be spread is not limited to one room, but to the [residue] of an entire land.

"How, how is it possible?!"

The employer's whole body seemed to be weak, and he collapsed on the ground, his eyes empty.

Even he, a farmer, subconsciously couldn't believe that there was such [filth]!

As for his father, he bluntly expressed his resistance to this statement.

"The whole land is contaminated?" He showed the common behavior of Japanese people when faced with emergencies, that is, they began to shout and refuse to accept reality.

It seemed that as long as he shouted, the cruel reality would be driven away by his shouts.

"This is in Iwamura City! There are sacrificial vessels here from Kashima Shrine! Every few months, the Lord of the City will invite sacrificial vessels to parade around the city!"

"This is also an important traffic thoroughfare in Meinong Country. Who wouldn't stop here for traveling monks, priests, and Shugendo practitioners? Whenever they come, the city lord will ask them to patrol the city to ensure safety! "

The Shugendo mentioned by the old man is the Japanese "ascetic". They combine the characteristics of Chinese Buddhism and local Shintoism, and use ascetic practices to improve themselves. The people also call them "Shanbushi".

Meaning: A person who lives in seclusion in the mountains.

If it is truly a true Shugendao, then whether it is martial arts or the mastery and understanding of religious rituals and classics. There is no doubt that his ability is stronger than that of ordinary priests or monks.

Detecting and dealing with [Remnant] is simply a matter of ease.

"Yelling can't change the reality." Lan En spread his hands calmly, "You have filth in your house, don't you? Otherwise, why would you hire a demon hunter?"

"But how could [the dirt] be left behind for such a long time?" The old woman, who had been obediently bowing her head in silence just now, raised her head and said.

"It's been ten years since our family moved here. Not to mention the castle town, there haven't been any tragedies in this city. What kind of "disgrace" can stay on the land for more than ten years?" It's still the same sentence: If [disgrace] can be left on the land for more than ten years? "Filthy" will not dissipate with the passage of time, so which place in this world has not seen people die? Never died in life?

This is completely contrary to common sense and logic.

"I've already said that this [Filth] itself is not normal." Lan En repeated helplessly. Then he seemed to remember something and narrowed his eyes slightly to look at his employer and his family.

"You just said that you moved here ten years ago?"

"Yes, yes."

"Then this area, or the castle town of Iwamura City," Lan En pointed in a circle with his hand, "are there many people like you who have moved here?"

"You don't know at all?" The employer looked at his family and asked tentatively.

"What do you know?" Wu Ming complained and complained, "We are all demon hunters from outside who travel around. Who knows what happened in your city?"

The employer quickly got up from the ground, approached the two of them and whispered.

"That's it, Saito Toshimasa-sama, who forced the Toki clan into exile! At that time, many people were killed in many cities in Mino! If it weren't for these vacancies, we would still be living in the wild villages. !”

Saito Toshimasa is Saito Dozo, the current leader of Mino Country.

Dao San is based on his dharma title after he became a monk, "Dao San Enters the Tao".

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Saito Michizan ascended to the position of the country's leader by defeating his superiors several times. Before him, the Mino Kingdom was officially canonized by the court and recognized as the "Mino Guardian" by the Toki clan.

It is a coup to defeat the superior. Saito Douzan's success shows that he is indeed very capable.

But no matter how capable it is, it is inevitable to clear out the entangled forces during the coup.

Obviously, a lot of wealthy people were killed in this Yancun city.

But with such a big move, it’s even more impossible to underestimate the handling of [Remnant].

In Japan, even if you want to become an evil spirit because of grievances and resentments, you still have to think about your identity.

The grievances of the common people are irrelevant. Only a wealthy family like the Taira family and a noble bloodline like the Emperor Chongtoku are worthy of leaving behind grievances that cannot be dispelled but can only be appeased.

And those wealthy families are obviously not noble enough.

After the killing, use Buddhism and mantras to dispel the resentment and that's it.

Lan En's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt as if he had already grasped an idea.

"In other words, you are not completely local."

"If you say so," the employer whispered, "then in this castle town, few people who have come and gone over the years are actually locals."

"Then there are still a few aboriginal families left, right?" Lan En asked neatly, "The longer you live in this city, the better. Tell me all the families you know."

The employer and his family looked at each other, and finally the four adults, especially the old man and the old woman, pieced together several households and told Lan En and Lan En their addresses.

Then the two people, who were already very agile, immediately started visiting each family.

Although ignorance is simple, his brain is not stupid.

When Lan En asked the next question, she basically knew what the focus of his question was.

—If this [Defilement] really has far-reaching influence and is something that was deposited a long time ago, then if you want to find out the truth, you must go back in time.

However, as the two of them continued to visit and inquire about each house, Wu Ming did not feel as happy as clearing the clouds and seeing the sun.

On the contrary, the demon hunter, who originally just felt a little troublesome, now feels that his heart is starting to get cold!

"Ah Ju's family? Oh, they are no longer here. I heard that they moved to a village outside the city, but it is strange. Obviously their house was handed over to very close relatives, but they have not been here for seven or eight years. No news has been received.”

"The Sanchuan family? Does anyone remember their family? Let me tell you, they were in bad luck. I heard that they hit something dirty when they went out to cut firewood. Sanchuan hanged himself after he came back! Later, the family was orphaned and widowed. My mother also remarried. About five years ago, there was a monk who prayed in front of this house. "

In a castle town, there is no neighborly relationship. Everyone is busy making a living. If it weren’t for the intersection of life trajectories, people we don’t know would never know each other in their lifetime.

People who have met before may not see each other again for more than ten years.

So after visiting all the 'aboriginals of Iwamura City' extracted from the memories of the employer's family, they found that 80% of them had been wiped out!

Despite the coup, the number of indigenous people is not large. But if the number of people who had been wiped out was counted, it would definitely be a big event that would alarm Ando Mamoru and even Saito Dozo!

The first is the bad nature of the whole family's death, and the second is that their methods of death are more or less "dirty" in mysticism.

But it was such a huge number of sects that were completely contaminated with filth. Because the population was scattered throughout the city, the time was also spread out to more than ten years.

Therefore, the huge number of victims is scattered, and no one is alert!

Until I asked about the last aboriginal family, it was a family that had moved out of the city and settled in a house to take care of their farmland.

From their mouths, Lan En and Wu Ming learned that five years ago, the land from Chengxia Town Bingzi to Renzi District was actually owned by a wealthy family.

When that wealthy family held a family wedding five years ago, the bride loosened her kimono belt that night and hanged herself.

I heard people said that he had a corrupt style of work and was discovered that night, so he couldn't live without a face.
