Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 310 The Ice Coffin Below Deck
The big ship is still moving forward slowly, on the vast and boundless sea.

The nightmare-eating tapir called Umibozu and Yingcao to the boat, and a group of people were sitting around the deck, with food and wine taken from the cabin in the middle.

It is now close to sunrise, and it is better to sit on the deck and watch the sunrise.

Moreover, the space inside the cabin is a bit cramped. If there are so many people staying in it, it will be somewhat crowded.

"Did you buy all these monsters?"

Tanaka Yuki looked at the group of monsters around him, his face was full of surprise, and when he asked Chen Beibei, he couldn't help showing a hint of admiration.

After all, the nightmare-eating tapir and Hai Fangzhu were both called Master Chen Beibei just now.

"Well, it's just some ordinary little monsters..."

Chen Beibei said perfunctorily.

Ordinary people have always felt very mysterious about monsters, and they also have a sense of fear.

Chen Beibei didn't want to chat with them too much on this topic.

After all, ordinary people and monsters don't have any intersections in the first place.

"I'm so envious..."

Ah Yi looked at Guan Hu and Xue Nu behind Chen Beibei, and said obsessively.

"Where are you planning to go now?"

Chen Beibei looked at Tanaka Muyu and asked him.

At this time, Gu Huo Niao was still following the sky above the big ship, which also meant that Gu Huo Niao had not yet discovered the location of He Maozu Temple.

"We have been looking for Banruo all the time? Before, we heard that Banruo killed several women in Luoying City, so we went to Luoying City. But after all, we still didn't meet Banruo. Now The place we are going to is a place called Suzaku Forest..."

Ah Yi looked at Chen Beibei and hurriedly replied.

"Suzaku Forest?"

Chen Beibei asked.

"You may not know this name, but if you talk about the famous Heian-kyo and Rashomon, you must be familiar with it, right?"

Hajime continued.

"Well, but is there any relationship between the two?"

Chen Beibei asked.

Heian-kyo is actually a metropolis that combines Fusang and Chinese architectural styles, and it was also the most prosperous capital at that time.

Basically, many people have heard of the name Heian-kyo, and Rashomon's reputation is basically comparable to that of Heian-kyo.

At least after Akira Kurosawa adapted Ryunosuke Akutagawa's short story "Rashomon" into a film, the name has spread almost throughout the entire country.

However, Suzaku Forest is a name that has never been heard before, and it is not even certain whether it really exists.Chen Beibei really had no way to connect this name with Heianjing and Rashomon.

"Heian-kyo is divided into two halves by Suzaku Avenue, and Rashomon is a city gate at the end of Suzaku Avenue, also called Luocheng Gate. The legend of ghosts and ghosts that often appear near Rashomon, the famous Ibaraki boy. Known as the ghost of Rashomon..."

Hajime seems to like these things about ghosts and legends very much, so when talking about these things, he basically shows a look of yearning.

"Ibaraki-douji? But Ibaraki-douji should have completely disappeared during the retreat of Mt. Oe."

Chen Beibei said with some doubts.

Ibaraki Doji was a subordinate of Oeyama Oni King Shutendouji, and the legend about him only happened before Oeyama was retired.

After that, it seems to have disappeared.

The end of the legend of Ibaraki Doji does not end with his death, but like a butterfly flying in the air, but suddenly disappears from people's sight out of thin air.

"Although Ibaraki-douji has disappeared, recently a fortune teller has calculated that Ibaraki-douji will appear in Suzaku Forest. And it is said that Hannya and Shuten-douji will also appear there..."

Hajime said mysteriously, keeping his voice down as much as possible, but Tanaka Muyu at the side seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied with this, and the expression on his face was not very happy.

"Cough, Yi!"

Tanaka Muyu interrupted Hajime's words, obviously, he didn't want them to continue talking.

"Ah, boss, I'm sorry... I said too much at once..."

Hajime scratched his head and quickly apologized.

"These monsters are not something you ordinary people can get close to. If what you say is true, then... you should give up looking for Prajna. Even if you are obsessed, it is just obsessed with what you imagined... "

Chen Beibei looked at Tanaka Muyu and Ah Yi, and said seriously.

Since Tanaka Muyu and the others can go to the Charm Auction, it is entirely possible to meet fortune tellers and the like.This cannot completely deny the truth of what they said.

"Well, we got it, thanks for the reminder."

Tanaka Muyu looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.

"However, it seems that you still haven't told me the origin of Suzaku Forest..."

Chen Beibei looked at Tanaka Muyu and said slowly.

At this time, Chen Beibei naturally wanted to know where that place was.

"It's just because a huge, ancient stone gate appeared in an ordinary forest. People called that stone gate Rashomon, and that forest was named Suzaku Forest... It's just a few people's It's just a rumor..."

Seeing that Chen Beibei had already asked this question, Tanaka Muyu had no choice but to answer.

"So this is ah."

Chen Beibei nodded, and didn't pursue this topic too deeply. After all, Tanaka Muyu probably didn't want to continue talking about it. Probably, if he wanted to get such information from a fortuneteller, the reward he paid should be very expensive.

……

"Cuckoo..."

The sun slowly rises from the sea level, and the sunlight exudes a golden dazzling light.

There were several eager calls from the big bird, as if it wanted to convey some meaning.

Chen Beibei and the others quickly ran to the side of the boat, while Shantu stood on top of the magic frog, and everyone looked into the distance together.

"land!"

The mountain rabbit's voice was a little excited.

At this moment, at the place where the sun was just rising, a turquoise continent appeared faintly.

To be precise, it should be more accurate to say that it is an island.

Because the edge of this piece of continent looks a bit narrow from such a long distance.

At this time, Gu Huo Niao accelerated its flight speed and flew towards the island first, which also means that the island may be the location of He Maozu Temple.

"Mr. Tanaka Muyu, there is an island over there, we plan to disembark there, I don't know...can you dock the boat there for a while?"

Chen Beibei pointed to the edge of the land that appeared faintly over there, and said to Tanaka Muyu.

"Well, of course you can."

After Tanaka Muyu finished speaking, Hajime ran to the cockpit to give instructions.

Apparently, Ah and Chen Beibei still had some good feelings, or a sense of awe, after all, human beings are often like this when they are not familiar with things.

Under the sunlight, Tanaka Muyu's body was still as pale as when they first met, with no trace of blood visible at all.

In addition, Tanaka Muyu was wearing a thin white dress, which made people feel that Tanaka Muyu seemed to be an extremely weak patient.

"Your body rarely touches the sun, right?"

Chen Beibei looked at Tanaka Muyu and asked him.

When the sun was rising, Tanaka Muyu had been deliberately sitting in a dark place. Even when Chen Beibei pointed out the location of the island to him just now, Tanaka Muyu just covered the not very strong sun with his arms, Take a hasty glance.

Chen Beibei came to this conclusion not just because of this.

But...

Last night, Chen Beibei couldn't let it go because the magic frog said that there was something under the deck.

So I asked the nightmare-eating tapir to sneak down and take a look.

The bottom of the deck is actually a compartment, and under the top deck, there is another deck with good watertightness.So even if there are obvious gaps on the uppermost deck, the ship can still sail at sea safely.

This repeated practice resulted in an extra compartment under the deck.

And the nightmare-eating tapir found in this compartment, an ice coffin with a female corpse lying on it, as well as the woman's clothes and shoes...

"Well, because my skin is special, I can't stay in the sun for a long time. So I rarely walk outside."

Tanaka Muyu looked at Chen Beibei and replied to him.

In fact, until now, Chen Beibei's impression of Tanaka Muyu was still good.A man who is obsessed with finding Wisdom, and paid a huge amount of money for it.As a result, my original life of worry-free food and clothing has become so desolate as it is now.

And there is another point, that is, this man seems to have no pity for his own life.

"It's about one or two ten minutes away from that island, and then we will be completely separated. Before that, I still want to know something."

Chen Beibei looked at Tanaka Muyu and said with a serious expression.

There is an ice coffin with a female corpse lying under the deck, which must have been designed in advance.In other words, this strange black ship was deliberately designed in this way because of the female corpse.

Otherwise, no one would do such unnecessary things. If there are gaps deliberately left on the deck, it will undoubtedly pose a safety hazard to the navigation of the ship.

Seeing Chen Beibei's serious look, Tanaka Muyu was slightly taken aback, but he quickly returned to a calm look: "What do you want to know?"

"Under the deck...that female corpse, the story about her should be very complicated, right?"

Chen Beibei looked at Tanaka Muyu, looked directly at him, and said slowly.

……

Clouds drifted leisurely, covering the rising sun, and the light suddenly dimmed, only the sound of the surging waves could be heard.

There was silence for a while.

However, this moment seemed very long to Chen Beibei, and it should be the same for Tanaka Muyu and his subordinates.

"Wei Ling..."

Tanaka Muyu leaned against the hull of the boat, and his originally weak body seemed to become weaker. When he uttered these two words, a trace of sadness appeared on his face.

"Mr. Tanaka,..."

"Boss,..."

Several subordinates walked towards Tanaka Muyu, their faces were full of concern and worry.

"It's okay, get me a bottle of wine."

Tanaka Muyu slid slowly along the hull of the ship and sat on the deck, then took the wine that Ha Yi handed over, and began to tell the story about the female corpse in the ice coffin.

"Wei Ling was born in a relatively wealthy family, which allowed her to have an extremely happy childhood, and her mother's kindness and gentleness also made Wei Ling gradually grow into a caring girl.

Wei Ling, who is sixteen or seventeen years old, yearns for love just like every girl. Even if she doesn't have the urge to immediately find the one she loves, fantasies about love will still appear in her mind from time to time.

If the time is good, Wei Ling will naturally meet the man who belongs to her, and then get married and lead an ordinary life.

Just, if after all, just if.

in one night.

When Wei Ling went downstairs to take out the trash alone, a drunken gangster happened to pass by Wei Ling's side. Maybe it was because Wei Ling had just finished taking a shower, and the fragrance of the toiletries on her body attracted the drunken gangster's attention.

Wei Ling was forcibly dragged to a deserted place..."

When Tanaka Muyu said this, he took a sip of wine, with complex expressions on his face, including anger and remorse.

"Mr. Tanaka,..."

The subordinates at the side had a look of unbearable expression on their faces. Obviously, they still respect Tanaka Muyu very much.

"fine."

Tanaka Muyu waved his hand, put the wine bottle aside, and continued talking.

"Wei Ling is just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, and she has no strength to break free from the shackles of a grown man.

Mixed with humiliation and tears, everything is like a dream.

After the drunken bastard finished venting his anger, he left alone, leaving Wei Ling alone..."

The big ship was driving slowly, and the islands in the distance became more and more clear, but there should be more than ten minutes' voyage from the shore.

that sort of thing.

It happened everywhere, and it was very common. Chen Beibei didn't know the relationship between Tanaka Muyu and Wei Ling at the moment, so he didn't intervene.

"If it's just like this, Wei Ling may still be able to live a tolerable life, and even bury this matter deeply in her heart.

Let time quietly lick the wounds you have suffered.

Maybe I will cry alone when I think about it in the future, but as long as I become numb, I should be able to live peacefully.

Wei Ling did indeed do so.

She chose silence.

After all, if this matter is revealed, her parents will also be shrouded in darkness, and the drunk may pay the price.

But so what? "

The rising sun changed the angle of the sunlight, and a ray of light shone on Tanaka Muyu's face.

Tanaka Muyu briefly stopped talking.

After coughing a few times, he supported himself with both hands, moved his body, and changed to a place where the sun could not directly shine...

　This is a relatively heavy story, and Wei Ling represents everything returning to zero and starting all over again. (In terms of meaning, it is close to the sound of computer zeroing)

　　Wei Ling is a girl's screen name, and this short story also belongs to her.
