Many years ago, a few people from Kyoto came to a small village in Kobe, bought a house in the village, gave the village chief an extra sum of money, and asked the village chief to send someone to clean the house every once in a while, and then they left.The villagers were very curious about why these old men from the capital came to this poor country to buy a house, and they did not go in to live for a day after the purchase, and they stayed in the inn for several days in the village.Later, a few of the village's do-gooders snuck into the room to investigate, and they found that there was not even a lot of furniture in the house, only a table and some boxes.Of course, they didn't open the box to confirm what was inside, because they knew that the box was full of ashes without opening it.At that time, Japan's Warring States Period had not yet arrived, and the places were relatively peaceful, so those rich and powerful people were more particular about funerals: for example, the level of the shogun daimyo, basically had their own family temples, and after their families died, they usually enshrined the ashes at home for 7749 days according to the old rites, and then sent them to the family temple to "accept the bones", and those family temples are also guarded and cleaned all year round.Worse than the daimyo, such as the samurai class and local tyrants, the ashes of the deceased would be sent to a cemetery near a temple or shrine for burial; This type of cemetery is considered to be blessed by nearby gods, so it is not bad to be able to store it there, and temples and shrines are cleaned by the people.As for the ordinary people at the bottom, it is naturally ......
Bury where you like, it's not surprising that someone will dig it up one day.However, there is another group that does not fall into any of the above categories.This group includes small business owners, skilled craftsmen, capable street performers, capable hooligan leaders, etc., in our modern concept, that is, "petty bourgeoisie".The common characteristic of these people is that although their economic situation is much better than that of the lower class of the common people, and some have even surpassed the lower class samurai, their social status is still very low, and many people who are much poorer than them look down on them.At that time, there were not a few petty bourgeois people like this in Kyoto, and they were no different from ordinary people in the funeral area - to put it simply, even if you were willing to spend money, you might not be qualified to be a neighbor of those samurai lords.So, at that time, some people came up with the idea of going to the vicinity of Kyoto, finding a relatively remote village, and then buying a house in the village, and quietly storing the ashes of their family members in it.Anyway, the housing prices in that kind of small village are very cheap compared to Kyoto, and these petty bourgeoisie can afford it completely, and then make some money for the villagers to take care of it, isn't it better than being buried in a barren mountain or a wilderness?
Over time, there are more people doing this, and there are not enough villages near Kyoto to take over this transaction, mainly because the villagers in some villages will make trouble, and they think that many houses in the village have become "yin houses", which is unlucky—why is the house next door to me used to worship the dead, but it is my neighbor who sold the house to take the money?
I am a neighbor of the dead every day, but I have nothing?
There are a lot of such troubles, and many places around Kyoto have banned this kind of thing, after all, this is also a gray industry, and it doesn't matter if you really make trouble with the government.But the market is gone, the demand is not gone, then there will be a new supply model to be born.Northwest of Osaka, northeast of Kobe, northeast of Nara......
These places a little further away from Kyoto are just a day or two more walk to the mountain road, where there are more villages and housing prices are cheaper.In this way, another village soon started to do this business, and this small village in Kobe, because it was very poor, later basically every household developed into a "professional box watchman", and this village was also named "Gray Memory Village" by outsiders.Time flies, decades have passed, and Japan's Warring States period has come, and this dozen is hundreds of years.At this time, the whole country is full of battlefields full of corpses, and even those daimyo are living a precarious life, who cares how you die and how you bury it at this time?
The village of Gray Memory, located in a place like Kobe, has naturally become a deserted village like many other villages.However, after decades of abandonment, another group of people came here; The group took a fancy to this village and decided to build it into a secret stronghold.This stronghold is the main altar of the current Sakagata Sect, and the group of people back then were the original members of the Jonggata Sect.In a blink of an eye, it is the winter of this year of Yuanhe, and it is about to be the day of the annual gathering of the Tsukasatsu again.As we said in the previous document, in ancient times, when it came to the cold winter wax moon, even the time for working people to go out was reduced, which was the same for both Dahui and Japan.It was not easy to buy and sell in this season, so they set the rules for all returning to the main altar at the end of each year; You say that they report on their work, reward and punish their performance, and that's it anyway.Since communications were not developed at that time, it was necessary to meet once a year for the purpose of "checking whether there were any missing or casualties in the organization during the year, and exchanging information by the way."
Seeing this, it is estimated that many people will understand why Shuanghe has already met people from the Sanpai Formation Sect on the way from the west to the east of Honshu Island......
To put it bluntly, the route they took and the time they caught up with were exactly the same as those monks of the Sakagata sect who were going back to the main altar for a meeting.Of course, the above information, Sun Yihui and Huang Donglai have already been tried from Xuan Geng.In fact, they now not only know the origin of the Formation Sect and the annual gathering, but also the organizational structure, staffing, and the setting of the unique secret techniques such as corpse puppets, as well as the fighting styles and abilities of those high-level leaders......
I got a rough idea.Don't think it's too long to talk about these things, in fact, it took less than ten minutes to talk about it, Xuan Geng also focused on Yong Geng's ability and what he thought was his weaknesses at that time, and it seemed that he was calculating......
One day, if Shuang Harmonic really comes to the door, he can kill Yong Gen with a knife.It's a pity that he didn't expect that he couldn't change his life after saying so much.After solving Xuan Qian and saving Ah Zhi, Sun Huang and Hayato, after only a little discussion, they decided to put their task on hold for the time being, and first set aside two or three days to destroy this Formation Sect.On the one hand, they all think that the people of this organization are really damned.On the other hand, even if they ignore the Sakatatsu, the Sakagata sect's rally may also interfere with their relationship with people in Kobe.Moreover, after seeing the ability of Shuangyun, Ah Zhi suddenly had hope for saving her son, so she immediately burst into tears after Xuan Qian's death, and very sincerely asked several of them "young heroes" to help save Xiao Zhu, and everyone really couldn't bear to refuse.In this way, the four of them rushed to the vicinity of the Gray Memory Village in the evening of the next day."
This village is so yin."
When they were still a few hundred meters away from the village, Huang Donglai and Hayato looked into the distance almost at the same time and muttered such a sentence.Hearing this, Sun Yihuan's face suddenly felt a little faintly painful, he touched the old wound on his cheek, and continued: "I said......
In addition to the gang of human traffickers and monks and the corpse puppets they refined, there won't be any other demons and monsters in this village, right?
”"Not necessarily."
Huang Donglai took the lead in replying at this time, "There are not necessarily ghosts in places with heavy yin qi, otherwise there are so many basements and cellars in the world, almost all of them will be haunted." ”"Not bad."
Hayato also said, "Even if there are a lot of unjust souls who have died here, since this Zhuangxing Sect is still entrenched here, it means that either there are no ghosts here, or these evil monks have some way not to be afraid of trouble." ”"That's it......"
Sun Yihuan listened to the answers of these two "professionals", and his heart was a little settled, "Then it seems that only a few of us living people are going to make trouble." ”"Huh......
Indeed, if you want to say 'trouble', your Sun family still has something. ”Huang Donglai didn't know what he remembered, and said with a smile."
What do you want to say?"
Sun Yihuan didn't know what he remembered, squinted at Huang Donglai, and said crookedly, "I'll declare first......
I didn't make trouble back then, I just threatened the other party and said that I wanted to make trouble, and in the end the other party sent the money owed to those players, and I forgot it, what 'take advantage of the leaders to pull the banner' is all talk, I haven't done it. ”What Brother Sun said about this is an old thing that happened in his original universe, Huang Donglai knows about it, but Huang Donglai is not actually talking about this at this moment, but Brother Sun is a little sensitive, and there are no three hundred taels of silver here."
Brother Sun, I just want to talk about another member of your Sun family......
The East China Sea Dragon Palace, the Netherworld Mansion, and the Lingxiao Treasure Hall all dared to make trouble, and they didn't say anything about your past, don't be nervous. ”Huang Donglai answered."
Mao~ Who is nervous?"
Sun Yihuan pursed his lips, "Even if you say what happened to me in the past, Lao Tzu is also helping others, at most, the means are a little despicable, what is there to panic about?"
”"Yes, yes......
Can I still not know who you are?
”Huang Donglai said this, you have to let a passer-by listen to it, at first glance there is nothing wrong with it......
But people who know them a little bit, such as Hayato, who has been with them for some time, fully understand that this is a yin and yang weirdness."
Hmph......
Doggy. ”Sun Yihuan didn't defend anything, just snorted coldly and scolded directly.Huang Donglai didn't return the scolding when he was scolded by such a straight ball, but smiled even more.Ah Zhi, who was watching the interaction between the two people, was stupid, she didn't understand, these two were good brothers......
Or is there any hatred?
I always feel that the conversation between the two is inexplicable, moody, and the one surnamed Huang seems to have a bit of a tendency to shake M?
By the way, I mention it here, because Ah Zhi already knew the identity of their Central Plains people, and he also made it clear when he walked with them, so Sun Huang and the others did not continue to use the fake names Kameda and Edo in front of her."
I said, it's going to be dark now, it's the perfect time to investigate, let's stop wasting any more time, why don't I be a ninja and go first......"
Eda tried to get the conversation back on track.But before she finished speaking, Huang Donglai interrupted: "Okay, okay~ Stop, okay......"
He paused, looked at Ah Zhi and said, "Although you have taken my pill, you can sit and lie down normally, but my medicine is not an elixir, your rib fracture will not be better at all for a month, and you want to run or even use force......
You'd better save it. ”"But......
I ......
"Ah Zhi, who is eager to save his son, undoubtedly wants to do a part.""
You don't have to 'but'."
Huang Donglai said, "My light skills, ear skills, and eye skills are better than yours, and I will go if I want to go." ”"Good~ worthy of Brother Huang, tough!"
Sun Yihuan saw that Huang Donglai wanted to pretend to be this force, and the voice of the arch fire immediately became louder, "Then it's up to you next, we are waiting for your good news here." ”"Hmph......
Don't arch the fire. ”Can Huang Donglai not know what Sun Yihuan is doing, he immediately continued, "I'll go in first, if you haven't come out for half an hour, you have to follow." ”"Huh?"

Sun Yi said humorously, "Then why can't Hayato keep up." ”"Hayato wants to stay behind to protect A-E."
Huang Donglai said."
Then can't I stay to protect Ah Zhi?"
Sun Yixiang said again."
Hayato has stealth skills to protect in case of emergency, what do you have?"
Huang Donglai asked."
I ......"
Sun Yihui thought about it, there was nothing wrong with self-preservation, he had all kinds of insidious means, but protecting others didn't seem to be his specialty, "Forget it, just keep up." ”When Huang Donglai heard this, he didn't need to say anything more, he turned around and left, he flashed into the woods in a blink of an eye, and slowly approached the Gray Memory Village in front of him from the forest.
