Chapter 57: The Famous Tragedy of Ma Cang Ye Wang
The daily interactions between Suzuki Sonoko, Rokudo Mukuro, and Chrom Skull all started when they shared a bed.
When facing Chlorom, she felt as if she had a cat. By analogy, her daily life was not much different from petting a cat. Moreover, although Chlorom looked timid and shy, she seemed to be a little cold in nature. She basically didn't talk to others unless necessary.
If no one takes the initiative to look for her, Yuanzi may not see this person all day.
And once Chrom appears in front of Sonoko on his own initiative, it can only mean one thing.
——She is going to become Rokudo Mukuro.
Speaking of Rokudo Mukuro...
In fact, Rokudo Mukuro hardly ever talks to Sonoko.
Rather than getting along with others, he felt a kind of detached and frightening state when facing Yuanzi. The look in his eyes was more like he was watching a movie or some random documentary rather than looking at a person. And the plots that appeared in this documentary were all the ones he really wanted to see, so when he was watching the show, the expression on his face was completely one of satisfaction and pleasure.
According to Chrom, Rokudo Mukuro's spirit had suffered some damage and restrictions, but it would slowly recover when he was with Sonoko, so the frequency of Mukuro's appearances would be slightly higher.
In response to this, Miss Suzuki Sonoko just had an indifferent expression.
"Oh, eight hours a day online frequency, so it's only a little bit higher?"
Because he logged in alternately with his big and small accounts, for an average of eight hours a day, Yuanzi gradually got used to the sudden change of person. He also got used to the fact that when he was talking to a soft girl, the person in front of him would suddenly change.
After three days, she was able to remain calm when the smoke of the girl turning into a man appeared. She would naturally take a new cup and pour another cup of tea for Mr. Rokudo Mukuro who was online.
Although Suzuki Sonoko felt that it seemed useless to accept this Shikigami, she did not hate Chrom. As for the girl's abnormal growing environment, Sonoko only thought that the Suzuki family was sponsoring an extra out-of-school child.
However, in Lord Yato's ghost class, capturing Shikigami is a very serious matter.
"First of all," the household god, dressed in sportswear, sat cross-legged on the sofa and raised a finger seriously. "You should know, Sonoko, that in the history of Onmyoji over the years, many Onmyoji have been harmed by their own Shikigami."
"The shikigami's rebellion is based on the blood bestowed upon them by the Onmyoji when they formed their pact."
The representative figure of this wave of tragic Onmyoji is the once famous Asakura Ye Wang.
Yato was born in the Heian period a thousand years ago, and happened to live in the same period as this brilliant man. His father, who created him, was originally a monk, and was one of the practitioners who was suppressed by the aura of this genius.
However, compared to King Asakura Ye, who blindly wanted to break through the boundary between humans and gods on his own, Yato's father was obviously much more shrewd.
The reason why the Asakura family was able to ignore the huge gap in strength and easily kill Asakura Ye Wang in his prime was that the one who took the lead was Asakura Ye Wang's own Shikigami: Nekomata Gumune.
——The closest Shikigami suddenly turned against him and used the blood contract to directly devour the master's spirit.
At that time, King Ma Cang Ye was basically seriously injured, with only a thin layer of blood left in his blue bar.
The Asakura family took advantage of the time difference before he recovered, and in the end, they successfully defeated the strongest Onmyoji in the world without paying any price.
According to Yato, it is still okay to kill the master by relying on the blood contract - after all, Asakura Ye Wang is strong enough to suppress an era by himself. Even if he loses his body, he still has a powerful soul. After his death, he will recover his spiritual power for a period of time, and he will be reincarnated directly.
He reincarnated without going through Soul Society or Yomizu Country. He could just find a suitable fetus and be born directly into someone else's mother's womb. Although it sounds unlucky, he can start over at any time.
But in addition to the unlucky method of Makura Yewang, there are also those who are controlled by their own Shikigami; those who, at the end of their practice, are designed by the Shikigami to exchange the master-servant authority; and those who use the worship ceremony to directly erode the soul of the Onmyoji and occupy his body.
If the situation gets more serious, the Onmyoji will eventually become a puppet raised by demons, unable to live or die.
Suzuki Sonoko listened to Mr. Asakura Yewang's bloody history with an expressionless face, and then listened to a long list of ghost stories that seemed to be created to scare her, and thought about it with her lips pursed.
Whether it was simply to refute Yato or to comfort herself, she said firmly: "The person who hurt me will be punished!"
"That's what I said."
Yato scratched his cheek uncertainly. "The point is, Sonoko, the procedure you used to summon that guy as a shikigami was wrong. It's supposed to be the Onmyoji's bloodletting, but you used the shikigami's blood. From the perspective of forming a pact with demons and spirits, this could very well be considered as you willingly submitting to him!"
In other words, the law that favors you may generously decide not to punish that guy because it thinks you did it voluntarily.
Suzuki Sonoko was stunned by what he said, and was extremely sad and angry: "...Can this favor be returned?"
Answer: Of course not.
So, when Sonoko looked at Rokudo Mukuro again under this premise, the sense of intimate connection made her feel creepy.
The most creepy thing is that, because the Onmyoji and the Shikigami are in telepathic communication, she can vaguely sense the person's emotional changes: when Rokudo Mukuro is quiet, he is really quiet, but when he looks at her, he feels a mysterious sense of relaxed excitement.
——He just sat peacefully in the darkness, looking at a pure and brilliant life.
After some careful consideration, Sonoko felt that her interaction with Shikigami X2 was indeed very similar to petting a cat.
However, when petting Chrom, she might be a poop scooper who needs respect, but when petting Rokudo Mukuro, the way the big cat looks at her is clearly closer to catnip than a poop scooper!
The longer you are together, the more obvious this feeling becomes.
One day, Suzuki Sonoko was watching TV and happened to see a documentary on the science and education channel.
The eldest leopard was lying on the ground like a boneless person. Because of his large body, he could crush the catnip bushes that the kittens were scratching at with just his front legs.
Suzuki Sonoko looked at the scene of the big cat taking drugs and shuddered for no apparent reason.
Driven by a mysterious sense of crisis, Sonoko began to try hard to recall Asari Ugetsu's talisman class. She thought about it day and night, but in the end she could not remember the teaching content, but instead missed the teacher himself with sadness.
I don’t know if it’s because the filter effect of [We’ll never see each other again in this life] is too thick, but later on, when she recalled Chao Li Yuyue’s dark cuisine, she inexplicably felt that it was delicious!
=====
The days passed slowly like this for a few days. Although it was still terrible, I still had to do my work.
Ever since Sonoko was praised for being handsome, Yato didn't hide it anymore. He was now learning the necessary common sense of gods from the god of poverty, Kofuku. However, due to the special functions of Kofuku, he hadn't blessed anyone in these many years, and there were limited things he could teach by words and deeds. Most of the time, Yato relied on eliminating filth to slowly get closer to the god of war.
He not only killed the demons that transformed into time, but also killed ghosts and monsters. He often ran home covered in blood, and naturally took out snacks from the refrigerator while shaking his clothes.
Yato now knew that Sonoko would never be afraid of him, so he didn't mind being seen in such a bloody state.
However, Yuanzi actually minded it.
——"Rather than being scary or anything... Yato, don't you realize that this is dirty?"
As he gradually developed a sense of fortune and misfortune, Yato began to do his job as a guardian god with loyalty.
First, he went through all the lands that the Suzuki family had the deeds to to make sure there was no dirt, and then he carefully inspected the several pieces of land that Yuanzi had recently taken a fancy to.
After returning, Yato held a small notebook and said, "The family business is safe, but regarding the recent expansion plan of the seasoning factory, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"
Yuanzi thought for a moment and said, "Listen carefully first."
"Okay!"
Yato quickly flipped the notebook to the middle, shoved his nonexistent eyes, and, imitating the tone of the experts on TV, spoke seriously, "During my investigation, I stumbled upon a great place. It's barely a port city, but there are very few ships coming and going. The Yanbian waters are almost completely empty, making it perfect for oyster farming!"
Miss Suzuki didn't want to dampen her patron saint's enthusiasm for work, but she said seriously, "Imported species need a process of adaptation to the environment. We need to find experts to slowly cultivate them. When the time comes, we will see which water area they choose, and then we can decide where to buy land."
However, Yato shook his head and said seriously, "This is a question that has nothing to do with science."
"well?"
Yato flipped through his little notebook and explained, "The spiritual veins beneath that land are incredibly strong and active. If someone lived there long enough, they might just live longer. Plus, there's a ton of aquatic products!"
"With such a large amount of spiritual power to support the garden, you don't even need to find any experts. It won't matter if you just throw the oyster seedlings directly into the sea nearby."
"As long as they have spiritual veins to support them, not only will they not die, but if they are kept for a long time, they may even develop some health-enhancing effects!"
Miss Suzuki's eyes suddenly became deep.
She exclaimed in amazement, and without saying anything, she took out a map: "Where is the place you are talking about?"
Yato also leaned over to look.
This map shows the distribution of real estate across the country. All the land that can be bought and sold is marked. However, Ye Dou gestured for a long time, and it seemed that the city he saw was not even drawn on the map, let alone the apprentice who could be bought and sold.
He rubbed his chin and pondered for a long time, then began to mutter, "That place called Fuyuki is clearly a standard city. I've passed by it several times, so why isn't it on the map?"
"Fuyuki..."
Sonoko thought for a moment, then poked a finger at a small, unmarked gray area. "This is quite a small place."
Yato followed her finger with his eyes. "Huh, so Fuyuki City isn't big enough to be marked on a map? But I always thought it was pretty big!"
Yuanzi shook his head and said nothing.
She judged the size and consumption capacity of a region not by looking at how big the city was on the map. In fact, the area of Fuyuki City was not small. As far as Sonoko knew, there was even an airport there.
——Her main basis for determining the size of a city is the number of properties owned by the Suzuki family in the area.
Judging from Sonoko's recent tutoring, the Suzuki family only has one hotel in the city of Fuyuki.
Although the hotel is a high-end property under the Suzuki Zaibatsu, the mere number of "one" clearly shows how weak the consumption potential of this city is in the eyes of the senior executives of the marketing strategy department.
Hearing this, Yato suddenly became completely depressed. He hugged a large pillow, puffed up his cheeks and asked depressedly: "So... is my discovery still good news?"
Suzuki Sonoko nodded readily.
"Of course we do. Since Urahara-sama doesn't want to help me research oysters without shells, why not try using spiritual energy to fatten them? Since it's a small place with little consumer potential, the rent must be very cheap. Who knows, I could even buy up all the coastal areas of Fuyuki!"
Then comes the second bad news.
Yato said that the mushroom growing area that Sonoko liked must have some evil spirits.
"Demon energy?"
This was a serious question. Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but sit up straight. "I thought demonic energy was something that would kill flowers immediately if it came into contact with them, and it could even corrode the soil, leaving nothing alive."
But the reason why Yuan chose that mountain was that there was a village at the foot of the mountain. The villagers there would go up the mountain to pick mushrooms when the season was right. The mushrooms they picked were of very high quality and were basically bought privately by chefs from well-known restaurants without waiting for a second sale.
——After Soma Yukihira entered Totsuki Academy, Suzuki Sonoko studied the current situation of the domestic culinary industry for a while. It took her a lot of effort to find out this purchasing channel.
After discovering that the mushrooms here are very good, Ms. Suzuki's way of thinking is simpler and more straightforward than those villagers who are inexplicably cautious and unwilling to go up the mountain often, and the chefs who insist on cooking with seasonal wild mushrooms.
She could just buy the mountain, find a team of experts to build a cultivation base, and grow the crops herself.
Yato waved his hand and explained to her, "The kind where not a blade of grass grows is called miasma. When it's thick enough, even monsters will be afraid of it."
"oh?"
"Demon power is actually just a type of power," the guardian angel, who had learned a lot of common sense, assured him confidently. "All things can develop consciousness under the catalysis of spiritual power, and demon power is just the power they radiate after they become conscious. So, demon energy is actually quite attractive to plants and animals. Mushrooms, in particular, are feminine creatures. They actually grow better under the nourishment of demon energy."
Hearing this, Suzuki Sonoko immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's great!"
She patted her chest with lingering fear: "I have already bought the mountain. If I only now find out that there is no grass growing in the depths of the mountain, I will be at a huge loss!"
etc.
Sonoko narrowed her eyes and thought for a moment, then turned to Yato and asked seriously, "You said that spiritual energy can give rise to all things that have consciousness and become monsters. If we set up a farm in Fuyuki...will we create a lot of oyster spirits?"
"How is this possible?"
Yato waved his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Great monsters are born. It's rare for ordinary things to develop consciousness and become tsukumogami. It's even rarer for them to directly become monsters. Although Fuyuki's spiritual vein is strong, the overall power has a kind of gentleness that is just right. It's perfect for nourishing oysters!"
Yuanzi nodded thoughtfully at the map and said that this was good.
Immediately afterwards, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but complain to her guardian angel: When she was planning to buy mountain mushrooms, she negotiated with the owner of the mountain, and the price he gave was absolutely reasonable.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the project, the Suzuki family even prepared the relocation fees for the small town at the foot of the mountain, and the townspeople especially welcomed them.
As a result, the owner of the mountain land refused to sell it and had an extremely negative attitude. He even refused to meet to discuss such a face-saving matter.
Finally, the people from the marketing department went to the relevant office to check and found out that the ownership of the mountain had actually been returned to the government long ago!
Then, the Development Bureau of Tono took the lead and readily sold the mountain land to their family - after all, for the government, only with capital investment can there be jobs, and then there will be tax revenue and political achievements.
Thinking of the time he had wasted buying the land, Yuanzi sighed and shook his head. "All the workers were recruited locally. The mountain had never been properly renovated because of the stubborn tenants. The villagers at the foot of the mountain didn't want to go up because there were wild animals roaming around. So before we could build the breeding base, we had to build a road first."
"You make it sound so serious, but this mountain is actually a great place to grow mushrooms," Suzuki Sonoko sighed, sitting upright and looking at Yato curiously. "So, what's the bad news you're talking about?"
Yato was hugging a big pillow and drinking tea in silence the whole time. When he heard her question, his breath got stuck in his throat.
He forcibly suppressed the urge to cough, covered his face with an expressionless face, and put down the water cup.
There is an abundance of demonic energy on that mountain, so it is suitable for growing mushrooms - but the reason for the demonic energy is, of course, because there are quite a few monsters living in that mountain!
Otherwise, why do the villagers only dare to go up the mountain for a few days every year? Why have the mountains been like uncivilized for so many years?
But the garden even cost money...
Thinking of this, Yato, who was used to being poor, frowned: the money to buy a mountain, the money to build a road, the money to build a base, the money to find experts...
So much money!
However, Sonoko understood Yato better than he thought. Seeing his expression, she immediately frowned: "Yato..."
She patted her chest righteously and said, "If you have any problems, just tell me directly. I can handle it. If you are okay, go and beg my mom for some money to stop the loss."
But she might be nagged, and Yuanzi felt a little depressed: it was her first time doing something serious, why did she encounter so many setbacks!
A long time ago, Sonoko once sighed that Suou Tamaki was a person who looked very bright. It was precisely because he looked too bright that once he showed a lonely expression, that feeling would be superimposed due to the contrast, and the lonely part would appear unexpectedly profound and distressing.
Suzuki Sonoko also possesses this trait.
Almost the second after seeing her unconsciously curl her lips, Yato made up his mind quickly and decisively. He gritted his teeth and waved his hand fiercely.
"fine!"
——He is the one who takes care of the garden. If those monsters dare to cause trouble, he, the guardian god, will not be there to help him.
Anyway, his transformation route to becoming a martial god is to protect humanity by killing demons (▔,▔)ㄏ
The next day at noon, thousands of miles away, in the deep mountains of Tono, the place where the monsters hid.
Nura Rikuo, the third generation head of the Nura Clan, came here to pay homage to the leader of Tono and train under the instruction of Nura Nura, the first lord of demons and monsters. Finally, after being beaten several times, he realized Nura's fear of mirror flowers and water moon.
However, just as he finished his training and was taking a bath with Kamaitachi Zhuduo, a little monster suddenly ran into the mountain without any reason, shouting, "Something bad has happened!"
Want to ask what happened?
——The Suzuki Group's construction production team drove excavators and carried industrial explosives. Teams of them were parked at the foot of the mountain, preparing to blast the mountain pass to build a road :-D
The author has something to say: #Mr. Ma Cang Ye Wang, a hero who is included in the tragedy textbook#
#Suzuki brand oyster essence nurtured by the spiritual vein together with the Holy Grail#
#Suzuki Demolition Team VS the Third Generation Nura in Training#
Tono is the place where Rikuo was beaten in the Tohoku training arc of Nura: Ryokan. It is one of the gathering places for big monsters, and young monsters are trained there to learn to master their own power.
Most people should know what Fuyuki is saying, right?
If you haven't watched the anime and don't get the memes, the fun may be reduced, but "Fate" and "Nura" should not be unpopular...
When Rokudo Mukuro was implanted with the Six Paths of Samsara Eye, he experienced the memories of six reincarnations, which is about 60x6=360 years. Since there is a slight difference between inherited memories and direct experiences, we will discount it by 50% and call it 180 years. The official height of Rokudo Mukuroro is 177.5cm, so don't think you will be distracted by him because he is in the 9th grade of junior high school. He is an Italian man who is 180 years old and 1.8 meters tall. I feel guilty calling him a teenager :-D
Sonoko's lucky halo is because the Great God of Fortune keeps bestowing blessings upon her, and she is favored by the law. However, according to the setting, the protagonists of other works are also people who are favored by the law. Unless Sonoko only comes into contact with cannon fodder from other works throughout her life, otherwise, when she meets the protagonist of the supernatural side, although the halo will not disappear, it will definitely fluctuate after they come into contact. I have not forgotten this setting.
According to the timeline in the article, it was only twenty-four days since Kiryu Zero said goodbye, just over three weeks. He even left a letter asking Sonoko not to look for him recently. Three weeks is really not a long time, and I haven't forgotten him.
Also, let me explain, [Tsukusangjin] is actually a spirit, like old utensils such as pickle jars, inkstones, and vases. Because of the emergence of consciousness, the spirit is born. According to the classification in my country, it is probably something similar to the little ghost carried by the five ghosts, and it is not a god.
The men in Sword Man should all be sword spirits, and definitely not gods.
Finally, as usual, I’ll leave a message. Good night, everyone. Mua (づ￣ 3￣)づ
