my life in japan

Chapter 319
Half a month later, Kyoto.

A father and daughter appeared outside the Arashiyama subway station, looking at one of the prosperous and traditional national towns in front of them.

"I haven't been back for a long time." Li Wuqu just got out of the car, his eyes still a little sleepy.

"This isn't home yet, is it? There's still a ways to go." Liwu Ge complained about his daughter.

The two were walking on this street, a strange combination in kimono, which caused frequent glances from passers-by.

After all, both of them are equipped with swords and wearing kimonos, giving them the feeling of traditional samurai.

Say it's father and daughter, why doesn't this father hold his daughter's hand?Say no, and feel that they are very familiar with each other.

"Dad, there seem to be many older sisters looking at you..." Li Wuqu complained about her father.

"Hehe, don't look at me like this, I used to be very handsome." Li Wuge smiled.

Kyoto, located in western Japan, belongs to one of Japan's three major metropolitan areas and is an important city in the Osaka metropolitan area.

As the seat of the Kyoto Prefectural Government Office, it is also one of the designated cities by government decree, and it is the eighth most populous metropolis.

The goal of the two is not in the city, but the vast mountains on the northwest side of the metropolitan area.

Among them, Kyoto is the most famous, and the most beautiful Arashiyama is also in this place.

But in this stretch of mountains, Lanshan is just one of them. The goal of Li Wuge and the others is to the north of Lanshan...

First took a bus, then called a taxi, and appeared near the mountain pass an hour later.

This is still a long way from their destination.

Li Wuge walked into a small restaurant, said something to the staff inside, and was then taken to the garage in the yard...

"I haven't ridden it for a year...is this bike still useful..." Li Wuqu's eyes twitched, looking at the dusty motorcycle, his big eyes were full of disgust.

"Hmm... that's not clear, at least I have to try." Li Wuge took out his motorcycle in the garage, and patted the front of the car for fear of responding.

This car was ridden outside when they set off from their home a year ago, and then they rented a place to park in this small restaurant at the foot of the mountain.

It has been released for more than a year, and only now is it allowed to see the sun again.

Li Wuge asked the restaurant staff for two towels, and started wiping the car with his daughter.

At the same time, open the accelerator to see if it can still be used.

From the results, the engine is fine, but the oil in it seems to be expired.

Maybe it was not very busy, and the people in the small restaurant also came out to ask if they wanted to help.

The foot of the mountain is generally some distance away from the town, and sometimes emergencies arise, which can be very troublesome to solve.

Therefore, restaurants and hotels at the foot of the mountain will have enough tools, consumables and gasoline in case of emergency.

Repairing a car or something, of course, is not a problem.

After some repairs, this broken motorcycle can be regarded as able to move.

While thanking Li Wuge, he took out cash as a gift in return, but the other party accepted it unceremoniously.

Not long after, Li Wuqu was hugging her father and riding a motorcycle on the way back to her hometown.

Two weeks ago, the attack of the wild beast wraith that Li Wuqu encountered frightened both father and daughter.

Li Wuge didn't hesitate, and ran back to the camp with her daughter for repairs.

After that, he embarked on the journey of eliminating spirits again, still the kind with his daughter.

It’s not that lessons haven’t been learned.

It's because the danger of the dance music in the previous episode was because the girl didn't run back to her father in time, and she wasn't vigilant enough, so the accident happened.

Although Li Wuge, an old father, is still worried, he has to get up if his child falls.

I believe that with the first lesson learned, the two of them will be more vigilant in the future.

However, when I went there for the second time, I found that...there was no Wraith...

This made the father and daughter who were mentally prepared scold their father a little bit.

After receiving millions in remuneration, Liwu Ge took his daughter and left the experimental island.

The first thing he did after leaving the island, Li Wuge wanted to find Mizukawao and the others.

I want to thank them for saving my daughter's life.

He had already deduced from his daughter's guard that the previous crisis was blocked by the talisman in the guard.

There are several talismans with spiritual power, and one talisman that has been used...it's easy to see.

After that, Li Wuge returned to the previous hot spring hotel, which I remember was called Shimagiri Hotel.

Li Wuge wanted to start with clues, to see where the group of young people had gone.

But it is a pity that no matter whether it is the hotel proprietress, or the train station and airport near the area, no information about them can be found everywhere.

In the end, I had to come back, and I wanted to ask my acquaintances to find these benefactors.

It took two weeks to come and go.

"So, why didn't you come back from the beginning!?" Li Wuqu felt a little depressed, feeling like he had been working in vain for the past two weeks.

"Ahem, don't complain so much." Li Wuge quickly rode through a small town to the foot of a mountain.

Although it is in the mountains and forests, it is some distance away from the city, but there are still small towns and residents.

"When the time comes, you will be responsible for telling your Aunt Zhixue, and I won't care about it." Li Wuge told her daughter.

"Eh? Why am I going, Dad, can't you go?"

"This... Didn't you say that you want to be in the same class as those girls? You must be the one to ask." Li Wuge paused, as if he couldn't convince himself.

"Tch, I'm obviously afraid of Aunt Zhixue, so I still make excuses." The dance music in Li did not give any face to expose the reason that the father made up in a hurry, with disdain on his face.

At the foot of the mountain, the concrete floor is well paved, and there is a ditch beside it, but no one manages it, and a lot of sediment has accumulated in it.

Looking up the mountain, what catches the eye is the long stairs that extend directly to the mountainside.

Most people would be intimidated when they see it, wondering if they can still stand on their legs after climbing up.

But for Li Wu and his daughter... that's it?
The mountain does not have a name on the map, but in the small towns nearby, it is known as Mount Pingjiang.

It is said that in ancient times, there was a disaster god who spread disasters everywhere in this country, and spread it to the nearby villages...

His name is Ping Jiangmen, a well-known Wraith Spirit.

Facing drought, mud floods, and hunger, people suffered unspeakably, and finally had no other way out, and they listened to the proposal of the unknown god—surrender and sacrifice.

People began to sacrifice to him.

Sacrifice is basically offering sacrifices, in order to appease their grievances...

And the shrine that was born during this period is located on this mountain-Heirasho Shrine.

As for whether these rumors are true, probably only the direct line of the shrine can know.

Li Wu's father and daughter walked on the steps, chatting when they were idle.

Since two weeks ago, the relationship between the two has become very close, not as rigid as before.

"Dad, what was your name for the move you used to kill that resentful spirit instantly? He was so handsome!"

If it was some time ago, Li Wuqu didn't dare to mention that life-threatening situation, which made her terrified.

But I don't know if it was because of the relaxed mood after returning to her hometown, the girl took the initiative to mention that scene.

"Ha, I haven't named it yet." Li Wuge responded with a smile. He was called handsome by his daughter. How can there be an unhappy father? After thinking about it, he said:
"If you want to name it... At that time, I thought about Xiaoqu before I cast it, or should I call it Xiaoqu Zhan?"

"No, no! Xiaoqu is the name of the move I will use in the future, you are not allowed to use it!" The girl hammered her father's ass with a small fist, and resisted:

"Besides, you don't agree with it at all, no!"

"I know, I know, I'll think of a name." Li Wuge smiled and shook his head.

"I can learn these moves anytime... Grandpa's Wuye style is so powerful..." When it comes to moves, Li Wuqu couldn't help but fantasize.

Remembering that she can only use the knife dancing style at present, the little girl looks forward to the future scene.

"Will I be more handsome than my dad in the future~"

The Liwu technique that the supernatural world admires is not just a single sword skill or a set of sword moves, its biggest feature is inheritance.

Wuye style is the move of the girl's grandfather, Riwugo's father.

The knife dance style is the move of the girl's grandpa Zeng and Li Wuge.

Whichever generation Liwu techniques are passed on to, that generation will incorporate the sword moves they learned by chance into Liwu techniques, bringing fresh blood to the techniques.

This is an ancient sword technique that will become more powerful as it is passed on, and it is precisely because of this that the talents of Lidanjia will be famous in the supernatural world.

It is precisely because of this that this set of techniques has become a technique inheritance that ordinary geniuses cannot touch.

"Sooner or later, of course, if you practice hard."

"Got it, got it, and urged me to practice hard from the side, hum." Li Wuqu puffed his face.

Although the Li Wu technique is a fusion of the sword moves of many generations, in fact, the moves are all evolved based on the most fundamental Li Wu sword technique.

Successors of successive generations have learned the same set of techniques, the same set of basic Liwu swordsmanship.

As long as you learn to a certain extent, you can integrate them in the end.

Even if you can't use some sword moves in the dance music for the time being, you will be able to use them naturally when you improve your swordsmanship and study the sword moves written in the books by the inheritors of the past generations.

After walking for a long time, they finally passed a few torii gates, and the two of them finally stepped on the flat stone floor.

The dance music is a bit out of breath.

"It seems that your practice is not enough." Li Wuge laughed.

"Whispering! Tell Aunt Zhixue yourself later!" Li dance threatened the old father.

"Don't! It's okay if I admit defeat!"

"Cut, coward."

On the mountainside, at the top of the steps, is a large piece of flat land.

Directly opposite is the most famous shrine in the vicinity, Heisho Shrine.

The Japanese are very respectful of ghosts and gods. Generally, the incense in some well-known shrines will not be broken, and this is especially true for Heisho Shrine.

There is no other reason, because this shrine does have some skills.

I don't know if it's an inheritance, but the townspeople in the nearby towns will come to this shrine whenever they encounter evil spirits.

As of today, Heisho Shrine is still very famous nearby, and it is a very convincing shrine.

But even if it is very famous, there are still very few people visiting the mountain. Generally, people will visit the mountain only on a certain day.

After all... Who would like to climb such high steps when they have nothing to do!

In the contemptuous eyes of his daughter, Li Wuge entered the torii gate in front of the shrine, one body behind his daughter.

Inside was a gentle woman in a shrine maiden costume, cleaning the yard.

"Brother Saito, good afternoon!" Li Wuqu greeted him.

"Ah, it's Xiaoqu, and Uncle Liwu, you are back."

The gentle "woman" known as "Brother Saito" also spotted Rimai and his daughter and greeted them.

It seems that this person wearing a priestess costume...is a young man...

"Minfu, is your sister at home?" Li Wuge said to the young man.

"Yes, she doesn't usually go out, she is in the main pavilion, and you can see it when you go in." The boy in the maiden costume called Minfu responded.

Li Wuge nodded, and after saying hello, he took his daughter and walked forward first.

…………

"Dad, why does Saito-san need to wear a miko costume?" Rima asked her father not long after he left.

"Hmm...but... maybe it's some kind of hobby..." Li Wuge replied uncertainly.

"Will Aunt Zhixue help us...or...Dad, why don't you marry her?"

"What are you talking about, silly boy..."

As they spoke, the two had already approached the main pavilion, so they stopped talking so as not to be overheard.

Saito Shibayuki is an acquaintance of Riwuge.

When Li Wuge's wife passed away, he asked her to help take care of his daughter.

Li Wuge was brought here by his father to settle down when he was a child. The two have been playmates since they were young, and they have a very close relationship.

But unlike Saito's magical arts, Liwuge's swordsmanship needs more experience in real combat.

So we were separated for a long time... and when I came back, I brought my sister-in-law home with me.

This made Saito Zhixue very angry. Since then, the little girl's aunt Zhixue has never given the girl's father a good face...

This is also the reason why Li Wuge did not dare to face "Aunt Zhixue", he only dared to let his daughter go...

Li Wuge walked to the door, raised his right hand and knocked on the door without hesitation.

It was said before that the daughter should take the lead in negotiating with Saito Zhiyuki, so of course it was just talking.

He is still a man, even if he is beaten and scolded, he will not be too cowardly to face it.

The dance music is not taken seriously at all.

"Come in." A soft voice came from inside.

Li Wuge swallowed, bravely pushed the door open and entered.

As soon as he stepped into the door, he saw a mature and beautiful woman in a priestess costume, sitting in meditation and facing the door...that is, the direction of Liwuge.

When Li Wuge first entered, the woman was stunned for a moment, then frowned and shouted:
"Who let you in?! Get out!"

There was no tenderness like before.

"Forehead……"

'Didn't you let me in...'

Li Wuge broke out in a cold sweat, not daring to refute.

I have just entered with one foot, and the other foot has not yet entered... Is it time to get out?

"Aunt Zhixue." At this moment, Li Wuqu poked her head out of the door and greeted the woman inside.

"It's a little song, come in quickly."

Seeing the little girl, the woman inside instantly changed her expression and attitude. Her gentle appearance made it impossible to imagine the scene just now.

Li Wuqu bounced into the room, Li Wuge patted his head in embarrassment, and followed his daughter into the room.

Saito Zhixue snorted, and didn't chase people away anymore.

It's okay to scold someone once out of anger, but if you continue to scold, it's really targeting people.

The dance music in Li is also smart, knowing when to run out to smooth things over.

If the little girl entered the room first, her father would probably be kicked out.

She can imagine the scene:
"Ah, it's a ditty, come in quickly."

"Back! Who are you? Get out!"

At that time, her father will really be driven away.

Li Wuqu found a futon to sit on, feeling happy.

"Hey... Dad is so weak..."

"Sure enough, without me, I can't do it~"
