The shrine is located in the easternmost position of Asakawa's house. Unexpectedly, there is no enchantment around the shrine.

"There is no enchantment. There is no dangerous atmosphere. Could it be that this place is safe?" Fang Shaoyan stayed on the steps in front of the shrine, hesitating.

"The absence of a dangerous smell does not mean there is no danger here!" Qi Mu walked in front of Fang Shaoyan, gently pushed open the ancient door, and a large cloud of dust fell down, and Qi Mu, who loves cleanliness, turned dark on the spot.

Seeing Qi Mu stop suddenly, Fang Shaoyan asked, "Qi Mu, what's wrong? Did you find something?"

With a stiff face, Qi Mu said, "Dirty..."

"Huh?" Fang Shaoyan followed his gaze and looked inside the shrine. Due to the night, it was dark inside and he couldn't see anything clearly. He took out the flashlight he had prepared in advance and took a photo inside. A group of black mice panicked fled on the ground.A large cloud of dust splashed up, causing Fang Shaoyan to hold his nose and cough.

"I'm going, how long has it been since this place has been cleaned? The dust here..." Fang Shaoyan took a flashlight to take a picture of the room, "It's so thick! It's definitely not something that hasn't been cleaned for several months, it must have been cleaned for decades No! Didn’t it mean that the people of country r respect the shrine? I dare say that the shrine is just a decoration!”

Fang Shaoyan walked in cautiously, and as soon as he raised his head, he touched the spider web, which made him shake off the spider silk immediately. The last time the spider demon left him so deeply that now he saw the spider silk. Feeling fuzzy.

Qi Mu also walked in, looked inside, and said, "Let's go, I don't think there is any mystery here." Fang Shaoyan was looking down under the table, and when he heard Qi Mu's words, he asked, "Are you sure?" ?”

"Hmm." Qi Mu glanced at the tablets enshrined in front of him, and said, "Rather than a shrine, I think this place is more like a mourning hall for the memorial tablets of the dead!"

Fang Shaoyan took a flashlight and looked straight ahead, and sure enough, he saw many tablets with names engraved on them neatly displayed on the table.

"It's really strange. Since it's a mourning hall, why do you want to pretend to be a shrine? There must be some secrets in it!" Fang Shaoyan took a closer look, and was pulled back by Qi Mu, "Don't look, these The tablets should be the names of the previous heads of the Asakawa family, and the one in the middle of the top should be the name of the first head of the Asakawa family!"

Fang Shaoyan followed what Qi Mu said and saw that the name Asakawa Hideyuki was engraved on the top middle tablet.

Fang Shaoyan thought of the corpses in the dry well, and asked: "You said... Could this Asakawa Hideyuki be from the Warring States Period? Could there be his corpse in that dry well?"

"This...is possible!" Qi Mu thought for a while, and said, "Let's go! Go to the library and have a look! Maybe we can find records about their family!"

Qi Mu and Fang Shaoyan left the shrine in a hurry.

Seeing that the people had left, the mice hiding in the dark came out of the darkness again and gnawed on the wood inside.

"Qi Mu, is this the last place? I have already been to the former site of the second wife of the Asakawa family..." Fang Shaoyan was talking, and seemed to remember something, frowned, and did not continue.

"What did you find there?"

"I have no idea!"

"Don't know?" Qi Mu felt strange, "Since you went, why don't you know?"

"Because that night, I was attacked by a group of monsters inexplicably, and then I was hit by a ghost, and then suddenly appeared in Hitomi Asakawa's room. At that time, Hitomi Asakawa was dead, and I was imprisoned as a murderer. Get up..." When Fang Shaoyan said this, he suddenly remembered the conversation he heard in a trance when he was locked up in that dark ghost place. Now that he thinks about it carefully, those two voices are clearly...

"What's wrong? Shaoyan?" Seeing Fang Shaoyan's face suddenly changed, Qi Mu asked with concern.

"No... just remembered something..."

"whats the matter?"

"I'm not sure... I was locked in a dark place, where there seemed to be an enchantment, which exhausted my spiritual power little by little, and when I was only half alive, two people Bury me under the cherry tree..."

Qi Mu's face suddenly turned cold, with a faint killing intent in his eyes, he asked, "Who are those two people!?" I'm weak, and I'm not sure whether my judgment is correct, the voices of those two people are very similar to the voices of Master Asakawa and Young Master Asakawa!" When he was buried in the soil, his mind was sober for a moment , he saw the back of the leaving man, it was indeed the young master of Asakawa—— Hiroshi Asakawa "No matter if it is or not, I don't think they can get away from it!" It cannot be done by outsiders!"

"You mean...these are all man-made? But, what's the purpose?" Fang Shaoyan's thoughts were once again stuck.Every time I just made a little progress, I fell into a deeper vortex again.

"People don't do things that are not good for themselves... At that time, did you hear what they said?"

"What did you say..." Fang Shaoyan fell into memory, then patted his head suddenly, and said, "By the way, I seem to have heard them talking about eternal life... Ha, is there really a technique of immortality in this world? "

"Hmph! It's ridiculous! Even gods, ghosts and demons dare not say that they are immortal and immortal!"

"You can't say that. Didn't Qin Shihuang send Xu Fu to Penglai to find the elixir of life? Xu Fu can be regarded as the ancestor of the people of R. It's not surprising that they would have such thoughts!"

The two talked, and slowly came to the destination.

The library of Asakawa's house is quite large, covering an area almost as large as that of ordinary people's houses. After confirming that there was no one here, Qi Mu went inside and turned on the lights.The library immediately became bright.

Fang Shaoyan looked around and asked, "Won't turning on the light attract others?"

Qi Mu gave him a blank look, "You are stupid, since you say this is a forbidden area, even if something strange happens, no one else dares to come! Unless it's..."

"It's true..." Fang Shaoyan looked at his phone, "It's already past three o'clock in the morning, we must leave before dawn! We are running out of time..."

"This is easy to handle..." Fang Shaoyan hooked his fingers towards a row of bookshelves, and saw the books inside flew out one after another, floating in mid-air in an orderly manner, with the cover facing forward, flying to Qi Mu one by one.

Fang Shaoyan was dumbfounded, "Qi Mu, I really have you!"

"That's natural!" Qi Mu raised the corners of his mouth triumphantly after being praised by Fang Shaoyan himself.

Qi Mu can confirm whether these are the things he is looking for just by looking at the cover of the book. Unfortunately, after browsing all the books in this row of bookshelves, there is nothing he is looking for.

Qi Mu waved his hand, and those books flew back to the bookshelf neatly.

And Qi Mu began to search the second row of bookshelves.

Fang Shaoyan also helped to find it, but many books in the library were about economics, law, foreign languages, and some novels and comics, but there were no books about the history of the Asakawa family that they wanted.

"Maybe... not at all..." Fang Shaoyan asked a little discouraged.

Qi Mu also frowned, waved his hand again, and the books flew back to the bookshelf again.

The two walked into the innermost place, and the person inside was surprised that the last row of bookshelves was tightly attached to the wall, but it was empty, without a single book!

"Huh? There are no books on this bookshelf?" Fang Shaoyan knocked on the bookshelf, and suddenly a book fell from the top of the bookshelf, hitting Fang Shaoyan's head just in time!

"Ouch! Why is this book not on the shelf, but on the top floor!" Fang Shaoyan squatted down and picked up the book, but to his surprise, there was nothing on the cover of the book , and it seems to have been aged for a long time, yellow and wrinkled.

Opening the book, it was full of strange symbols and characters, and there were some traditional characters mixed in.

"This...what are all the paintings..." Fang Shaoyan turned a few pages, some characters he knew, some characters he didn't, and there were strange symbols on it, which looked a bit like magic circles, but , but it is not the same as the magic circle diagram he practiced.

Qi Mu reached out and snatched the book in his hand, opened it and glanced at it, his expression changed drastically.

"This……"

"Qi Mu, what's wrong? Do you recognize this book?"

Qi Mu closed his eyes, flames burst out from his fingertips, and burned the book in his hand.

Fang Shaoyan was taken aback, "Qi Mu! Why did you burn it? This may be an important clue!"

Qi Mu opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of coldness, "This kind of harmful thing! Can't stay in this world! Besides, I probably already know what's going on..."

Fang Shaoyan was puzzled, "Harmful things? Then what is this book about?"

"Reincarnation!"
