I subvert Hokage with Onmyoji

Chapter 48 Start to investigate

Strange thing?

Genyoushi's spirit froze, and even Kenmaru, who was not afraid of the life of abuse, showed this appearance, one can imagine how weird it was.

"What strange thing?" Yuan Youzhi asked.

Jianwan took a deep breath to calm himself down, took another mouthful of noodles and swallowed them. As he swallowed the noodles, he felt that his heart was finally stable again.

Kenmaru said slowly: "Once the children in the village reach the age of 12, they will be taken by adults to a shrine outside the village to pray for blessings."

Yuan Youzhi nodded, this is normal and nothing strange.

Kenmaru continued: "There is nothing wrong with praying for blessings, but the problem comes after praying for blessings comes back."

"After the blessing came back, all the children seemed to have changed, they were no longer our companions, but became... adults!"

"They will no longer play with us in private and scold the adults, but like the adults, they will start to fight and boss us around, and even the adults will stop abusing them."

"It seems that only when we are 12 years old do we really become children of adults. Children under the age of 12 are not children, but slaves!"

Kenmaru gritted his teeth as he spoke, with some fear in his eyes.

Yuan Youzhi also frowned, this matter is really strange.

But on the bright side, this at least verified his previous guess—there was definitely something hidden behind Taijie Village.

Shrines, blessings... There are many things that can be hidden behind these words.

Time to visit that shrine.

Yuan Youzhi was making plans in his heart, but he heard Sakura whispered worriedly: "Brother Kenmaru, you... your 12th birthday is coming soon, right?"

Jianwan's complexion changed, the fear in his eyes became a little thicker, the arms resting on the table tensed suddenly, and his dark face turned pale.

Yuan Youzhi looked at him, and finally understood why the fearless boy was so panic-stricken when he talked about this strange thing.

"Still, there is still one week." Kenmaru said with difficulty, and then he raised his head and looked at Genyouzhi with burning eyes, "I, I don't want to be like that, I can't imagine that I will be with Sakura and Momoko in the future. When they do that kind of thing, I don’t want it, I don’t want it!!!”

"If that's the case, I'd rather die directly!"

Yeah, if one day I'm not me and I do unforgivable things to the people I love and hold dear, then I'd rather die.

"I understand." Yuan Youzhi felt the mood of the young man. The shikigami in the system were agitated slightly. The shikigami also cherished each other's existence. Although there were opposites in the plot of Onmyoji, the same Alignment never harms companions.

"Understood? So you will help us?" Kenmaru suddenly raised his head, "What do we need to pay? I have the money, and I can earn more!"

"Is it stealing more?" Yuan Youzhi said indifferently.

Kenmaru was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Yuan Youzhi to know this already, but he didn't feel embarrassed, rubbed his nose and said, "So what about stealing? Young master was born in such an environment, can he still rely on normal means?" To make money? Stealing, I also stole it with my ability."

"It is indeed as you said before, in an unconventional environment, of course it cannot be measured by routine." Yuan Youzhi looked at him and said, "But after I solve this matter, you can no longer steal, the money you stole before , I don’t care about it either.”

"Without these unfair things, why should I steal, my lord? Even this kind of village lord can do well, what else can't he do?" Jianwan's eyes regained their brilliance, full of confidence.

"Okay, I'll settle this before your 12th birthday."

Yuan Youzhi didn't say anything more, got up and left.

Kenmaru and Sakurami looked at each other, Kenmaru's eyes were full of hope, he took Sakura's hand and said, "Sakurami, we will live a normal life, right?"

"Yeah!" Sakura nodded her head.

In the following afternoon, the boy took Sakura back to the tree to sleep for a while, and then Kenmaru wandered around the evening market again, "earning" a bag of money.

Two bags of money, one bag he hid himself, and the other bag went back to work.

……

In the afternoon, when Kenmaru was resting with Sakurami, Genyouzhi had already returned to Taisuke Village.

This time he didn't use the blinding charm, so the people in the village saw him from afar.

Many people were a little surprised, because they didn't see Yuan Youzhi leaving, but now they saw the other party coming back from outside the village, and wondered if this is the power of a ninja?
No, this is the power of the Onmyoji spell.

Before Yuan Youzhi reached the village entrance, Miyoshi and Tashiro Miwa and his wife rushed over.

Sanji looked anxious, and the short man's face was huddled together. He leaned in front of Yuan Youzhi and said, "My lord, you're finally back. I, I'm going to die of anxiety!"

"What happened?"

Sanji smiled sheepishly, nodded and bowed his head and said, "No, it's nothing serious, it's just that until now... Taozi hasn't been found yet, I, I'm worried!"

"If it's convenient for your lord, can you help our couple? It must be you, your lord, who will definitely find a way." Tashiro Miwa bowed and said.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, if it is convenient for you..." Sanji lowered his eyebrows, and kept glancing at Yuan Youzhi's expression from the corner of his eye.

"Okay." Yuan Youzhi did not refuse, of course he would not refuse, he was afraid that Sanji and others would not come to him.

Since he came to look for it, he had a reason to investigate in the village.

A while later, Sanji brought Yuan Youzhi to the cellar of his home. The blood-stained hemp rope had been taken away, and the blood on the ground had been cleaned up. It looked like an ordinary cellar.

"The cellar? Why did the peaches come here in the middle of the night?" Yuan Youzhi asked knowingly while pretending to lean over to check.

"Well, it's a bit embarrassing to say that Tao Zi's temper tantrum annoyed me yesterday, and I thought about locking her in the cellar for the night in a fit of anger. I didn't think too much about it at the time, who knew that Tao Zi would be gone in the morning! , It was my fault, I regret it..." Sanji beat his feet and chest with a sad expression.

You are really good at acting... I owe you a statuette... Yuan Youzhi rolled his eyes inwardly.

After observing for a while, Yuan Youzhi and others left the cellar.

"Does your lord have any clues?" Sanji followed behind, his face covered in sweat.

Yuan Youzhi didn't speak, just jumped up to the eaves, closed his eyes, stretched out his hand and drew a spell in front of him.

The bright blue light converged into a mysterious charm, shining brightly in midair.

"This..." Sanji and the villagers on the road were slightly taken aback, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"what is this?"

"I don't know, but we should be able to find peaches now, right?"

"Hmph, that little girl dared to run away. If I were Sanji, I would definitely hit her hard when I get back!" Someone said in a low voice.

No one knew that the spell drawn by Genyouzhi was just a special effect and had no effect, and he didn't even release any chakra, it was just a show for the villagers to see.

A moment later, the spell flew towards the south of the village.

Yuan Youzhi landed and said to Sanji: "There is a reaction from the south, I'll go and see, you don't follow, you will die."

The shrine mentioned by Kenmaru is just south of the village.
