Kamiyagawa's investigation into the Tsuchimikado family soon came to a certain conclusion.
There are a lot of files and information about this family in the countermeasures room.
According to our understanding, starting from the fifth generation of Abe Seimei's descendants, it has been difficult to have offspring.
Later, Abe Seimei's descendants thought that Seimei's bloodline might have been subject to some kind of curse that led to such a situation, so they all changed their surname to Tsuchimikado.
After changing their surname, Abe Seimei's descendants can indeed reproduce normally.
Around the 1960s, Tsuchimikado Yasifuku of the Tsuchimikado family officially established the dominance of Tsuchimikado Shinto in Japan at that time. At that time, the Tsuchimikado family was still a big family in Shintoism.
.
But the good times did not last long. According to the development of modern world history, the Western world used strong ships and cannons to open Japan's door, and Western thoughts poured in along with it.
So the Meiji Restoration began, and the new government deprived the Tsuchimikado family of its monopoly on making "calendars" and abolished Onmyodo. However, at that time, there were many branches headed by the Tsuchimikado family, who secretly formed the "Tsuchimikado Shinto"
Fellow disciples meeting”.
According to the data, Juqiong Shrine, which now plays an important role in the countermeasures room, was also one of the side forces supporting the Tsuchimikado family at that time.
It's just that Juqiong Shrine is not a direct relative of the Tsuchimikado family, and it was still inconspicuous at the time.
Time has advanced to the present, and with the restoration of Shintoism, the dormant onmyojis from various places have been reorganized and active, and together with other extraordinary beings with extraordinary powers, they are collectively known as "spiritual exterminators", and the current countermeasure room organization has been established.
It is affiliated with the government's police system, but operates relatively independently.
The identity of the spiritual masters has also changed from the front stage in the feudal period to behind the scenes, and they continue to carry out the work of exterminating ghost stories in modern society.
However, after decades of reshuffles and changes, the Tsuchimikado family has lost its prestige.
There seems to be no direct descendants of this family in the current spiritual exterminator industry.
The few Tsuchimikado clans that exist in modern Japan are not spiritual slayers, and most of them live ordinary lives.
This family, which originated from Abe Seimei, seems to have been completely separated from Onmyodo.
"The complete decline of the Tsuchimikado family seems to have occurred during the period after the Meiji Restoration when Shintoism was abolished. The information in the countermeasures room did not mention what exactly happened. Even Ju Qiong, who was a member of the Tsuchimikado Shinto sect at the time,
There are no detailed descriptions at the shrine.”
"The Tsuchimikado family has disappeared from the spirit world. Is it because they were the first to be persecuted after the Meiji Restoration, or is there another hidden reason?"
Kamiyagawa looked through the information carefully, and the more he understood, the more confusion he had.
However, during the period when Shintoism was abolished, very few documents and materials related to the Tsuchimikado family were preserved. It is still unknown whether any unknown secrets really happened.
In addition, Kamiyagawa also found information related to Tsuchimikado's residence.
The location of the so-called Tsuchimikado House should be in Kyoto.
Southeast of the present Kyoto Onimon Gate, there is the former site of Tsuchimikado called "Sendō Imperial Palace". This old site has been destroyed and rebuilt several times in history.
But the place Kamiya is looking for shouldn't be there.
It is also in the southeast of Kyoto, about 20 kilometers away from Kyoto City, where Tsuchimikado Yasifuku once lived and practiced with his tribe.
That is the so-called "Tsuchimikado Residence".
The Sento Imperial Palace in Kyoto was only a place where the Tsuchimikado clan members conducted secular activities at that time.
The Tsuchimikado Residence, which is far away from the city, is said to be a mansion, but it is actually a village of a certain size built around the Tsuchimikado Residence. However, after the Meiji Restoration, it seems that everything there was destroyed.
It has not been rebuilt now, and the old site of the mansion has been hidden deep in the desolate mountains.
"Twenty kilometers southeast of Kyoto, deep in the mountains, it seems that this is where the God of Enyu wants me to go."
After confirming the location of Tsuchimikado's mansion, Kamiyagawa was not in a hurry to set off to explore.
The things there are related to the Tsuchimikado family, which has declined under some strange circumstances, and it is possible that the fate of the God of Enkei and Tenden is also involved behind it.
Especially the Tiantian female destiny.
This god is related to Granny Gu and Onizhong.
Although he was a little worried about the situation at Juqiong Shrine, Kamiya still understood the principle that haste makes waste.
Mary is about to transform from a wild god into a true god.
It would be safer to be patient and wait another twenty days or so for Mary to successfully complete her promotion before going to the Tsuchimikado Residence to find out. By then, even if she faces the gods, she may not be incapable of fighting.
…
Kamiyagawa spent two weeks patiently.
During this period, Changshili developed in an orderly manner.
Currently, the two areas that receive the most attention in the territory under Gao Tianyuan's rule are Dajiangshan and Santuchuan.
The smart and studious mermaid princess is responsible for the management and reconstruction of Dajiangshan.
Using the Kisaragi train, Isohime relocated some of the surviving aboriginal people from Oeyama in a planned manner, and arranged for them to go to the Sea Country, the Ainu Root Land, and the Santo River. He also selected ghost stories from other areas under his rule.
Some people who supported Dajiangshan's rule moved to Dajiangshan to participate in the reconstruction work.
This population migration measure further peacefully divided the internal structure of the country.
In addition, Crab Girl is responsible for managing the security of Dajiangshan and uses her big hammer to solve small friction problems.
As a result, Gao Tianyuan's institutional reforms in this city of monsters were slowly and smoothly implemented.
In addition, Isohime has recently recruited several good ghost story talents from Dajiangshan for inclusion.
Like an abacus monk or a dice ghost, he is suitable for clerical work such as calculations. He has already begun to serve as a clerk under the Mermaid Princess and has initially formed a small internal affairs team.
There is also the Santu River.
Xiangyue Xun is now the lord there, and the reconstruction of order in the Styx area is very important to JK Yama.
To put it simply, Santukawa as a whole is equivalent to Xiangyue's shrine, and the restoration of order there is closely related to her absorption of faith.
Xiangyuexun didn't have many manpower available at the beginning.
The first Prince Enma was very poor, with only the Genji brothers who didn't get along with him, and a group of Mizuko who were undergoing labor reform.
The territory is also in need of development.
Fortunately, Isohime arranged a lot of Kaidan manpower for her. Sister Kaku also provided advice and help on the construction of Santukawa. Minamoto Yoritomo himself also has good management experience. With this series of help
, Xiangyue Xun has now officially launched territory construction.
Kamiyagawa doesn't need to worry too much.
The subordinates can handle the affairs of the ordinary world, and Kamiya's activities during this period mainly revolve around reality.
He went to Juqiong Shrine twice more and watched Granny Gu and Onizuka Kirihotari.
And I also took the time to visit Yoshikoji Temple.
Mr. Tsurumi at Yoshikoji Temple has enshrined the newly made statue of Mary as agreed.
Of course, the Tsurumi family's current worship of Mary is not for the secular world, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is not known to outsiders.
For Kamiya, it is enough for Tsurumi Shinchi to reach this level.
He never treats those who treat him badly.
So, don't worry, Mr. Tsurumi!
Your daughter, I will raise her!
…
In Kamiya's home.
The venue is spacious and brightly lit in the basement.
Wow——!
The bamboo sword in Tsurumi Aoi's hand drew a sharp and elegant half-arc, piercing the air and causing a slight earthquake sound.
A very nice shot.
However, it was Kamiyagawa who was fighting against her, and he easily blocked such a swift and violent attack.
Snapped!
The sound of weapons clashing was intense and short.
After the sword exchange, even the bamboo sword in Tsurumi's hand was sent flying far away.
If the swordsman loses his weapon, it means failure.
"The coordination between your breathing and the movements of swinging the sword was not smooth enough. Your last swing of the sword was too impetuous. Your mind was confused and the sword was too slow."
Kamitani lowered the bamboo sword in his hand and pointed out the shortcomings of his apprentice's practice just now.
"I understand, teacher."
Tsurumi Aoi lowered her head, her gaze falling on her bare toes. The ponytail tied high behind her head swayed listlessly, like a puppy being scolded by its owner for making a mistake.
"Don't be so depressed. You have made great progress recently."
Seeing the pitiful appearance of his apprentice, Kamiyagawa comforted him like this.
In fact, it is not a consolation. After learning Ah Hum's Breath, Tsurumi Aoi's kendo skills have indeed improved significantly.
However, maybe she doesn't have much real feelings about it.
After all, she and Kamiyagawa still couldn't last more than a few rounds of sparring.
Perhaps, we need to find some suitable opponents for our little apprentice to strengthen her self-confidence.
With this thought in mind, Kamiyagawa said: "Tsurumi, that's it for today's practice. You go take a shower, and then come to the living room to find me."
"good."
Tsurumi Aoi silently packed away her bamboo sword, and then went to the bathroom on the first floor with a change of clothes in a familiar manner.
About twenty minutes later, Tsurumi put on dry clothes, his hair was slightly damp, and he walked into the living room with a hot scent.
Although she brought her own clothes, there was also a bath towel for the little apprentice in the bathroom on the first floor.
However, the toiletries Tsurumi uses are the ones commonly used by Xiaolu.
Maybe Xiaolu's dog nose can still tell the difference in the smells of her body and that of her junior sister, but to Kamiyagawa, as long as they take a bath, both apprentices will smell the same.
Seeing his apprentice come in, Kamiyagawa, who was sitting in the living room and taking some time to read the Tsuchimikado family documents, stood up and said, "Tsurumi, come out with me and have a special training tonight."
Of course, Tsurumi Aoi had no objections to Teacher Kamiya’s arrangement.
The master and apprentice went to Hualing High School together.
It was already evening, and they took the ghost car to the deserted playground of the school.
"Tsurumi, come down, I asked Satoru to control the cameras here in advance."
Kamiya got out of the car and greeted his apprentice like this.
Aoi Tsurumi got off the ghost car together with Mai Takayama of the hearse group. Then Shunma Oishi in the car kicked the accelerator, causing ripples in space and disappearing.
"Teacher Kamiya, we..."
Tsurumi looked around and saw that the empty playground was silent.
She found that Teacher Kamiya seemed to have a special liking for Hualing High School and had brought her here more than once.
Moreover, the young apprentice also learned that this is the teacher’s alma mater.
When she thought about Kamiyagawa spending three years of high school here, Tsurumi Aoi felt inexplicably involved in his past. When she thought about the secrets and worries she had shared with her teacher before, her heart beat faster unconsciously.
Clearly, the power of self-confession is still there.
And it's not too small.
Kamiyagawa could keenly feel that his little apprentice's breathing was slightly disordered, but he didn't know what was going on in the head of the taciturn "puppy" who had already shown initial signs of loyalty.
According to his original idea, he fumbled out the word Nanquan from the [Mirage Bag] and handed it to his apprentice: "Take this, Tsurumi."
Tsurumi Aoi raised his hand and took the sword with some confusion.
And the moment she touched Ichimonji, the original indigo-colored Ichimonji blade, which was as clear as spring water, actually glowed with a crimson light.
"oh?"
This change was unexpected by Kamiyagawa.
"Wait a minute." He touched the word again.
Buzz——
Mobile phone vibration.
[Item name: Nansen Ichimonji·Changed]
[Quality: Legend]
[Effect: Scarlet Ghost, the sword holder with the bloodline of Kuromiya Sahei can activate this effect. The blood strength and mobility of the sword holder will be increased to a certain extent with the heroic bloodline.]
[Explanation: One word for heaven and earth, one blade for morning and dusk. The famous Ichimonji sword forged in Nansenji Temple has been transformed and upgraded by skilled craftsmen. The blade is clear and cuts iron like clay. The sword held by Kuromiya Sahei's blade points in the direction.
To protect future generations.]
Kamiyagawa glanced at the phone screen directly in front of Tsurumi Aoi, but naturally he did not let his apprentice see the content on the phone.
Tsurumi's attention at this time was completely focused on one word: "Teacher, this sword?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! She felt an indescribable sense of intimacy on this strange sword.
"It fits you well."
It originally belonged to the Kuromiya family, and Kamiya had long planned to find a time to give it to his young apprentice.
Now that Yoshikoji Temple has begun to enshrine Mary, taking this opportunity to change hands can be regarded as a reward for Tsurumi Shinto's willingness to cooperate.
I just didn't expect that there is a hidden effect on this sword, which can only be activated when a descendant of the Kuromiya family holds it.
Holding a knife can enhance the strength of flesh and blood...what kind of external skeleton.
The effect unique to the descendants of the Kuromiya bloodline activated by Nansen is probably not available to Kamiyagawa. With his flesh and blood strength now approaching the Aragami, this level of enhancement is not practical.
Although they all have legendary ratings, there are also differences between legendary weapons. The strength of Onikiri and Dojiri are definitely higher than one letter.
Based on previous actual combat experience, Ichimonji still seemed a bit fragile in front of these two famous demon-slaying swords.
But it’s just right for Tsurumi.
Still a professional martial artist.
"Take it, and then -" Kamiyagawa winked at Takayama Makoto, who was standing quietly waiting for instructions, "Get ready for actual combat."
"Actual combat?"
Tsurumi hasn't reacted yet.
Only the roar of the engine was heard, and the ghost car that had disappeared suddenly crashed out from the other side of the playground, its headlights piercing the darkness brightly.
"Wuhu!"
The handsome man on the cab roared excitedly, and the rear door of the ghost car suddenly opened.
[The Hanged Man's Rope Reins] was thrown out of the car, and the knots on the hemp rope creaked and unfolded. Rolling down to the bottom of the car with the rough rope, there were two Xiqi boys.
"Woo."
"whee."
The low-level monster without a head cried and laughed, twisting its body in weird postures and almost spastic movements, and stood up from the ground.
This is the actual combat opponent Kamiyagawa has found for his young apprentice.
It’s really not that the co-owners of ghosts and gods are small-minded.
I no longer care about the fact that I was beaten all over the floor by Xiqi Boy in Novice Village two years ago!
Mainly because this kind of monster is really suitable for sparring.
While weak, he is also extremely violent. He has no brain and cannot communicate. He only relies on his killing instinct to attack non-kind people.
