High Priest in Japan

v1 Chapter 91: We don't want to

   I waited for more than ten minutes, but the result is still the same, let alone seeing the ghost, even if no one has seen one, I don't know how it became a suicide bridge that has spread so widely in a certain circle?

   Is it because the place is remote and no one pays attention?

"Okay, don't guard, go to the next place." Seeing this, Qin Heqing was gone and Xiazhiqiu Shiyu had a meal with the north wind, listened to the tram and walked to Xiazhiqiu's interest, and greeted him. .

   "Damn it!" Xia Zhiqiu was not a confessor of death, so he cursed bitterly, turned around, and walked towards the subway station at the same pace that his six relatives did not recognize him.

   Since this is not good, I can only go to the next place.

   There is nothing to say during the process. After ten minutes, the two arrived at the office in Sumida District.

"Ichigobori needs fishing gear, I didn't prepare it, so I gave up. The foot washing mansion is unclear, so I continue to give up. The raccoon can only be encountered on the night of the full moon. Both the fallen leaves and the tsuga taiko need certain conditions to trigger... It seems that we can only start with a leaf of reeds." After a pause, Xia Zhiqiu greeted Qin Heqing, "Go, let's go to the Tibetan front bridge."

   "What is the leaf of the reed?" Qin Heqing followed and asked.

  Qin Heqing really didn't know much about urban legends.

   At least I don’t know much about Niiza City and the urban legends outside of the Toshima district where he lives.

   After all, his activities are mainly in Niiza City and Toshima District. Coupled with the unreliability and ancientness of urban legends, as well as the influence of several actions in accordance with urban legends without gain, Qin Heqing gradually extinguished the idea of ​​collecting urban legends and then looking for prey according to the clues of urban legends. It is a kind of folklore knowledge, and you probably know it. There is no need to take it too seriously.

   Besides, she still has a month. Speaking of the true understanding of such urban legends, it is estimated that no folklore expert can know better than Yue'er who has been awakened more than 400 years old.

   "Aren't you a priest? How could you not know." Xia Zhiqiu glanced at Qin Heqing very unexpectedly, astonished as if you were making a joke.

   "I'm not omniscient and omnipotent, why should I know?" Qin Heqing asked helplessly.

  He is a priest, but who said that the main duty of a priest is to cast demons and exorcise demons? That is the work of the lower-level priests, that is, the onmyojis and witches! The main task of the priest is to take care of the shrine, manage the logistics, and maintain the faith community, to achieve good communication with the believers, and to ensure that the believers will not break their faith or convert their faith. Everything else is extra work!

   So, as a priest, he doesn't know these are completely understandable things.

   is not a folklorist, why do you know so much? It's over when you encounter a situation.

"Because these are the basis of your business. I don't even know this. I really can't imagine how you passed the priest examination and became an official priest. Is it possible that it depends on your relationship?" Speaking of which, Xia Zhiqiu's eyes also became weird, as if looking at a certain kind of practitioner, full of scrutiny and strangeness.

   "Um... Even so, doesn't it mean that I have to know them?" Qin Heqing retorted in embarrassment, keeping face.

"Oh, I see, you are half-hearted, no wonder you don't know these ancient legends." Xia Zhiqiu observed Qin Heqing for a moment with a smile but a smile, then suddenly smiled, full of pride in catching someone's pigtails Tao.

   Of course, the tone is contemptuous to show her sudden rise in superiority.

   "Whatever you say." Qin Heqing was speechless, too lazy to talk to Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu, and responded casually, focusing his attention elsewhere.

"I have nothing to say?" Xia Zhiqiu chuckled. "Forget it, who told me that I am a good-hearted and talented person, so I will be merciful to you this half-hanging priest to explain it, the so-called The leafy reed does not refer to the reed or the leaves of the reed, but the flesh and blood that is cut into pieces like the leaves of the reed!"

"This legend originated in the Edo period. At that time, the Honsuo area was still an independent township, in which there lived a beautiful woman named Aju and a man named Ruzang. Ruzang loved Aju very much, and only once. He wanted to make a good deed with Ah Ju, but he was rejected by Ah Ju, and his attitude towards him was very indifferent, so Liu Zang held a grudge, and finally one day and night, Liu Zang attacked Ah Ju..."

"The two chased and fled, and ran to the Koji Bridge at the entrance of the Sumida River, which is near the current Kuramae Bridge. They stayed and killed Aju, and afterwards cut her hands and feet into pieces of meat and threw them into the river... It is the origin of the Reed of Leaf."

   "This seems to have nothing to do with ghosts, right?" Qin Heqing couldn't help but hesitate after hearing this.

   Anyway, he didn't hear anything related to ghosts.

"As far as the story itself is concerned, it really has nothing to do with ghosts, but if it can become an urban legend, which one will be simple? So no matter whether the story is related to the ghosts or not, it does not prevent me from going there to witness the legend. Ontology." Shiyu Xiazhiqiu replied without turning his head~lightnovelpub.net~ What Qin Heqing can say about this, can only move towards the Kuramae Bridge near the Sumida River with the back of Xiazhiqiu.

   Fortunately, the distance is not far, and within ten minutes, the two arrived at Kuramae Bridge——

Unlike the cross-street bridge that was rumored to be a bridge of suicide, the Kuramae bridge is also very crowded, but unlike the bridge of suicide, it is not like the bridge of suicide that even a ghost cannot be seen in a long time. People will pass by from time to time, so on the surface, it is very difficult to associate it with a supernatural event.

   But as the saying goes, people shouldn’t look good. Even the bustling Shinjuku area can have ghosts. Close to the border area, why can’t there be ghosts in the Kuramae Bridge of the river?

   Besides, in terms of the environment, the Kuramae Bridge with waterways is easier to breed ghosts than the bustling urban areas.

the reason?

   Because according to the ancient legend, water flows through the yellow spring, which is the passage of the soul to the underworld or the spiritual world! Therefore, it may be difficult to see ghosts in other places, but ghosts are not particularly rare near waterways.

   This is also the reason why both the ancient Chinese and modern island nations’ Lantern Festival light boats must be released in the river.

  The purpose is not just for fire prevention.

   Then the two walked up to the Tibetan front bridge and came to the side of the bridge facing the water. Xia Zhiqiu took out his mobile phone, activated the video recording function, and took photos of the reed-filled river in front of him.

   "Ah!" Instantly Xia Zhiqiu screamed, his body involuntarily moved backwards, and then his left foot mixed with the root of his right foot, his body immediately lost his balance and fell down towards the bridge.

   "Be careful!" Upon seeing this, Qin Heqing stretched out his hand and took Xiazhiqiu Shiyu into his arms.

   "Huh, I'm scared to death." Xia Zhiqiu gasped and whispered with a lingering fear.
