"The wood floating on the sea, could it be... Ebisu?!"
Ebisu is one of the Seven Gods of Good Luck in Japan, and he is also the only Japanese native god among the Seven Gods of Good Luck.
And the origin of the rumors about Ebisu can be considered a household name.
Fishermen who live by the sea like to enshrine things floating in the sea and believe that they are Ebisu, the Seven Gods of Good Luck.
The specific image could be a piece of wood floating in the water, an unseen fish carcass, or something else.
There is a legend that Ebisu is a deity who left Takamagahara, the kingdom of God ruled by Amaterasu Omikami.
"I also remembered it. I heard my grandpa say it before." Another person mentioned it, and the memory in his mind instantly surged. He said: "A person who lived in this place a long time ago picked up a piece of wood on the beach and thought it was a legend. Ebisu, who thought it could bring wealth and luck, thought it was very auspicious, so he enshrined the wood..."
One person's memory inspired the memories of a group of people, so someone else said: "I heard that three monks passed by here before and chanted the Lotus Sutra. They happened to see the piece of wood and said that it was something that would bring disaster. So I decided to He was brought to a big temple to be saved, but the locals were unwilling to part with the treasure and killed three monks."
"Maybe he was manipulated by Ebisu, so he committed the murderous act," Hosei said thoughtfully.
Assuming that Ebisu exists, a monster with considerable power is very likely to control ordinary people to do things that are beneficial to them.
No one responded to Hosei's words. Everyone had their own ideas in their minds, but they all had an absurd and certain idea, that is... Ebisu, it is probably true. The source of the curse of the Yoshimi family for many years is here. this place.
Kiryu Yiichi asked: "Can you help me show the way to the location below the headland?"
"I'll take you there right now!"
Everyone arrived at the headland and looked down. It was dozens of meters high and there were no guardrails. The strength would be taken away from the legs just by glancing at it.
The waves crashed below and the water splashed.
The sound of splashing surrounded the headland.
On one side of the headland are stone steps carved along the mountain wall.
Walking down the stone stairs, a familiar feeling hit me.
"It's a god!" Kiryu made a judgment instantly.
There are eight million gods in Japan. Although he has never seen that many gods, he has dealt with quite a few, not to mention that he is inexplicably followed by a water god girl.
After making this judgment, he was slightly stunned.
In the past, I would be frightened when I heard the name of God, but now, I can face it calmly... I am even ready to draw a sword and chop the opponent.
All fear comes from lack of firepower. This is indeed a wise saying.
"I'll go in and take a look, you guys wait outside," Kiryu Yiichi ordered: "If I don't come out within half an hour, you leave here immediately... It's best to find a professional team and demolish it directly, or blow it up."
After that, he stepped into the cave.
Going deeper, the natural light from the outside gradually weakened, and after he entered the cave for about ten meters, it stopped following him.
Baimeng book
All that was left was darkness.
Kiryu Yiyi can only rely on intuition to move forward.
The fingers holding the knife unclenched and then tightened.
The ghost keeps coming, but before it gets close, it is suffocated by the aura emanating from the scabbard on Kiryu's waist and runs away.
His scabbard is also forged by gathering the power of many monsters. The weaker so-called big monsters will have a headache when facing this scabbard.
There were ghosts approaching from time to time along the way, but they failed to get close and were forced back by the aura emanating from Kiryu's first-class scabbard.
After walking about a few hundred meters, there was a faint light coming from ahead.
The light was the candlelight in front of the shrine. In the narrow space with no airflow, the candlelight kept swaying, and the flames dragged Kiryu's shadow rolling on the ground.
"little trick"
Kiryu first pursed his lips, disdainful of the other party's tricks.
Hanako was cleaning the toilet at home, and Sadako often played with her hanging on a swing around her neck. Who could be scared by this shadow trick?
He looked closer at the shrine.
There is a piece of wood enshrined inside, but this piece of wood has a human-shaped outline, and if you look closely, you can easily see that the human-shaped outline is formed naturally rather than carved the next day.
"It has grown into a human form. No wonder he is so bold and dares to kill people."
Kiryu Yiyi immediately raised his Zanpakutō, and the handle of the knife hit the wood, and a yellow light was immediately shot out of the wood.
Bang bang~
Huang Guang flicked his tail in the air, shook his scales, and transformed into a yellow snapper.
Kiryu's quick eyesight and quick hands caught the snapper quickly.
The snapper kept swaying, finally collapsed, turned into fragments of yellow light, and burrowed back into the wood.
"Don't say I won't give you a chance."
Kiryu Yiichi raised his hand, put his Zanpakutō into the shrine with a "chi" sound, pressed it against the wood, and then took out the "Book of Friends" signed with his name from his body. He opened the "Book of Friends", And he confronted Ebisu Mumu: "Hey, sign your name, you should be able to write... By the way, look, there is already Nue, the fox clan here, just write according to their format."
A ray of yellow light overflowed and turned into an energy hand. His palm gently pressed on Kiryu's first-class "Book of Friends". He took the "Book of Friends" back. There was only a golden handprint on this page.
But in the blink of an eye, the golden handprint disappeared and turned into the name "Ebisu".
After accepting Ebisu, Kiryu Yishi was in a good mood. Everyone knew that Ebisu was the god of wealth, but Kiryu Yishi... was most lacking in wealth.
With Ebisu being subdued, the deaths of the Yoshimi family were finally resolved.
Kiryu Yiyi left the cave.
"So fast?" Fa Sheng said in surprise.
"It has been solved," Kiryu Yiyi said, "There will definitely be no more accidental deaths in the future."
Hearing that the matter had been resolved, everyone in the Yoshimi family was doubtful. It wasn't until someone checked Yoshimi Hazuki and found that the scars on her body and the writing on her back had disappeared, that they really breathed a sigh of relief.
After dealing with Shi Jian, it was naturally time to leave.
Hosei, who was sitting in the driver's seat, and Matsuzaki Ayako, who was in the passenger seat, looked at Kiryu Ichizu who was pushing and pulling with Yoshimiya through the rearview mirror with speechless expressions on their faces.
"This...how is this so embarrassing?"
Kiryu Yishi pushed it away with his mouth, but opened his hand to accept the handed bag.
"Thank you very much for your help!" Everyone in the Yoshimi family shook their heads: "If it weren't for your help, we would still have these children, I'm afraid..."
"Oh, it's not easy for everyone."
Kiryu Yiyi sighed and said: "If you have any trouble in the future, you can contact me... I can give you a discount."
"must!"
Waving his hand, Kiryu sat in the back row and closed the door.
Matsuzaki Ayako looked into Kiryu's first-rate eyes through the rearview mirror and said, "Your slick look... doesn't look like a high school student at all, it's exactly like my dad."
"Humanity is so sophisticated. Besides, since I've given you such a big gift, you still have to talk about the occasion."
With that said, Kiryu opened the bag that the Yoshimi family member finally stuffed into him.
"This...what the hell is this!"
There were actually some souvenirs in the bag.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Seeing this, Fousheng and Matsuzaki Ayako laughed in unison: "You are such a greedy guy that you actually suffer losses sometimes."
"I take back what I said before." Kiryu Yiyi put the souvenirs next to him and gritted his teeth: "The Yoshimi family are too thieves! I will never agree to help unless you give them enough money!"
Back in Tokyo, Kiryu got off the bus in front of the pachinko shop.
He waved and watched Hosei and Matsuzaki Ayako leave, and then entered the store with a bag in one hand and Ebisu in the other.
Ebisu is the first of the Seven Gods of Fortune, the God of Wealth, and his effectiveness is much stronger than that of the Golden Monk, Fire Man, and Zashiki Doji.
"Let me make a lot of money," said Kiryu Ichizu, holding a basket of marbles and sitting in front of the pachinko machine.
As soon as he sat down, the middle-aged Japanese man next to him cast a curious look. There were many people who came to play Pachinko, believing in God, Buddha, and Amaterasu.
But it was the first time I saw him holding a piece of wood.
However, the entire Japanese nation is introverted, and most people will not take the initiative to strike up conversations with others, that is, they "don't want to cause trouble to others." However, Kiryu Yiyi has been in Japan for so long, and apart from feeling that the neighborhood is unfamiliar, he does not He really didn't feel that it was causing trouble.
In the pachinko shop, many people are just playing with their pachinko, deciding whether to have chicken drumsticks or noodles for their next meal.
"rely on you"
Kiryu Ichiru patted Ebisu lightly and then dropped the marble.
Ten minutes later.
With two baskets of prizes in his arms, Kiryu Ichizu left the store under the gaze of everyone in the store.
"Huh? Closed?"
At the door of the shop next door that was recycling pachinko gifts, Kiryu Ichichi bent down and just put down the gifts, but found that the clerk opposite put up a "rest" sign at the speed of light and closed the door.
"So that's what happened."
People came from both sides and surrounded him.
He is a strong adult man and is equipped with very discordant weapons such as finger tigers and bats.
"Do you know the owner of this store?" Kiryu pointed to the gift recycling store in front and said, "I have a lot of stuff here, but it's closed."
However, the leading strong man just waved his hand, and a group of people rushed towards Kiryu Yiyi.
"boom!"
The steel pipe hit, and Kiryu raised his fist to fight. After the fist collided with the iron, Kiryu remained motionless, but the man holding the steel pipe took a few steps back, and the steel pipe in his hand even broke away from his hand.
The powerful countershock made his hands numb.
The steel pipe that fell to the ground was even completely bent and deformed.
This also caused the gang members who were rushing towards Kiryu to stop subconsciously.
When a person's fist collides with a steel pipe, it can actually bend the steel pipe? !
But if they stop, Kiryu will not stop. If someone takes action, he should defend himself decisively.
He stepped back on tiptoe with his right foot and exerted force on his toes. With his physical figure of 1289, he instantly disappeared from the eyes of the gang members. When he reappeared, a group of people had fallen on the ground, holding their bellies. Young, oh, young screamed.
Kiryu Yiyi squatted in front of one of them and asked: "Can you help and let the store open for recycling?"
"Yes, yes, I'll call right away!"
On the other side is the office of the owner behind the pachinko shop.
The short and fat figure jumped down from the chair. He received a call just now. He was so angry that his scalp was numb: "They are all trash. A dozen people beat one and he was beaten half to death!"
He raised his foot and wanted to kick the table in front of him, but he ignored the fact that his legs were short and his belly was big. As a result, he almost fell to the ground with his kick.
Just now, he received a call that his pachinko shop was raided for 30 million yuan worth of gifts. If he hadn't reacted quickly and called the gift recycling shop, he would have had to pay a large sum of money today.
What made him even more angry was that the gangster he invested in to look after the store was beaten up by one of them and even called him for help.
"Hey!" The pudgy boss picked up the phone and dialed a number: "2 million, help me get rid of this bastard!"
"Photo" The voice on the phone was cold.
"...Wait!" He immediately turned around and shouted to the door: "Where's the surveillance camera in the store? Send me the photo of that bastard!"
The female secretary's panicked voice immediately came from outside the door: "Yes!"
A few seconds later, the photo was sent to the other party by the pudgy boss.
"The sooner the better," he urged.
But what the pudgy boss didn't expect was that the cold voice over there changed and became frightened: "Why...we can't take this job!"
"What?!" The pudgy boss's voice was a few pitches higher.
This group of greedy monsters would kill their own brothers without blinking an eye as long as they were given money, but now they directly refused to take the job.
"Xiao Quan! Considering the relationship between you and our dark world, which has been cooperated many times, I would like to advise you... no matter what grudges you have, apologize to that adult. That's it. I still have something to do."
The phone was hung up, but the pudgy boss puppy still maintained a stiff posture holding the phone.
"really!"
He trembled the fat at the corners of his mouth in displeasure, and his cheeks began to twitch unnaturally: "This lowest-level monster is weak in strength and cowardly."
As a successful businessman, Xiaoquan has other connections at his disposal.
Called again and was given a number.
"I want you to help me deal with someone."
"Twenty million."
The price has increased tenfold, but when he thinks of what the other party has done for him, Xiaoquan comforts himself in his heart. If he solves the other party, he will definitely save more than 20 million.
"Okay! I'll give you the photo and address."
When Xiao Quan confidently sent the message to the other party, beyond his expectation, he once again got the same reply as before.
"...You can find someone else for this job. However, I feel that in the entire dark world, you probably won't be able to find anyone willing to help you. I still have something to do..."
"Wait!" Xiao Quan immediately shouted and asked, "Who is this person?"
He was wondering why these monsters, no matter how strong or weak they were, didn't dare to accept the mission just after seeing a photo. Aren't monsters not afraid of death?
"That lord... is known as the great yokai who lives in seclusion in Tokyo. He killed the four holy beasts of the yokai street by himself, and also defeated the random boy. He is a detective in the spiritual world and is very powerful... In short, Xiao Inu, Don't mess with him."
On the other side, the door of the gift recycling shop finally opened.
Kiryu Yiyi moved the gifts inside with the help of several gang members.
"One hundred million?" Kiryu scratched his head and looked at the fat man who hurriedly claimed to be the boss: "Did you calculate it wrong?"
"No, there is no miscalculation. Just a few minutes ago, the recycling market price of these gifts increased three times!"
"All three times improved?"
The fat man nodded: "Yes, everything has been improved three times!"
