Chapter 412: The Incident of the Foggy Dog's Hidden God
A random encounter on the roadside made Levi's head full of questions.
He knew that these civet cats might all be social terrorists, but what he didn't expect was that they could actually do things like setting up stalls and selling barbecue on the street.
Not only that, what was sold was none other than roasted mice, and maybe some other game they picked up on the mountains near where they were stationed...
Although no matter what kind of germs the mice carried, they were all turned into protein under the high-temperature smoke and subsequent flame roasting, but there was still something wrong with Li Mei selling the mice directly in the human market.
And these tanukis didn't care at all. They were wearing chef's uniforms and selling smoked and roasted rats. They seemed not to take it seriously at all. They mixed wasabi powder with salt and sprinkled it directly on the meat in front of others.
There is another sign next to it, "Barbecue for potatoes, one skewer for another".
Levi: "..."
He may have understood that the civet cats may have gathered together and found that there were too many mice and they could not eat them all. No matter how smoked and air-dried they were, the meat could be preserved for half a year or even a year.
They never expected that they would actually have a year where they couldn't eat all the meat. What a hellish life they lived in the wilderness before. Let alone mice, maybe they would be happy for a long time if they met a little strong.
No civet cat would have thought that one day it would be so meaty that it would make them sick. So they decided to sell it out and exchange it for other foods that could be easily preserved.
When it arrived at the door of the former Hojo Daimyo's residence, it seemed to be an action engraved in its DNA. It directly raised its leg and made a mark.
Levi also wanted to understand that this dog had probably just become a demon twenty years ago, and had been hiding there since the strange outbreak, daring not to leave. He probably didn't know a lot of common sense among demons, so it's not his fault.
Especially in the past, the policy of the Genji shogunate had a certain amount of restrictions on meat, but now the new shogunate Li Wei has lifted this restriction with a wave of his hand. People's love for meat has begun to be directly exposed.
"Woof!"
"Understood." Doumaru didn't hesitate. He first took off the sword on his back and the wind travel cloth around his neck, and then swaggered toward the station while wagging his tail.
In this way, even though he was being run over, he quickly explored the entire residence of the nobles in the divine capital and marked it with scent, and then he returned to Li Wei.
"Pfft!" Blood splashed.
And at this time, Weiyuan did not have the method of smoking meat locally. Their method also surprised many people who tried smoked meat, and the price is indeed not expensive. A piece of potato is exchanged for a skewer of meat. Basically, it is
The same weight of potatoes is replaced with meat.
"Thank you for the reminder, but even so, can she completely escape within two breaths? She is really a terrifying monster." Kamizumi Isemori Yumi put away her spiritual pressure.
Gouzi did not hesitate. This time he handed over his belongings to Li Wei, and then prepared to enter the camp again in a swaggering manner. However, he suddenly realized something and hurriedly came to a mud pit to roll around, and then became disgraced.
Come wander here.
"Can you follow the mixed smell of human and male to track down the mastermind behind it?" Levi asked again.
Originally, this residence was originally the residence of the Hojo daimyo of Kyoto and a series of his retainers and branch families. It was very large, so it could be divided among the nobles who came from the divine capital.
"Woof woof woof!" Doumaru roared immediately, the barking sound was very harsh.
This situation, which will only be seen by future generations for countless years, may have already begun here.
Levi threw Gouzi's belongings into the different space, and then his whole body twisted and entered the different space.
It stayed here like this for a long time, and until late at night, it still found nothing more.
"No, that smell is very scattered. Even I can only clearly trace the smell left within three hours at most." Gouzi said to Levi, wagging his tail.
At this time, the space behind this gray-headed dog was distorted, and a voice came over: "Mist Girl, a very rare and very strange demon. I seem to have an impression. Twenty years ago, the city of God
The foggy dog seems to have some connection with that guy."
"I don't know." Doumaru squatted there, slowly used the dog's claws and teeth to tie the wind travel cloth back to his neck, and then put the sword on his back.
And in many cultures of this era, civet cats are also one of the images of gods that often appear, so when they see a civet cat that can speak human language and is barbecued in the street, many people will come over to take a look.
At this time, a retainer suddenly felt something behind him. He suddenly drew his sword and turned around. He was shocked to see a woman who was covered in confusion. It seemed that her face could not be seen. But at this time, the warrior saw the confused woman.
The woman suddenly seemed to be hypnotized.
The hazy woman's image disappeared, and the enemy was a guy who could hypnotize and become invisible through illusions. If Doumaru wasn't a professional counterpart, even a great swordsman might not be able to catch such a being.
This was the closest she got to the person behind the scenes these days, and she even almost got caught, but even so, the enemy escaped.
"Is that so?" Levi looked at the time and saw that it was still early, but there had been a mysterious incident here during the day, so the mastermind behind the scenes could appear at any time and commit the crime.
"Dowan, can you smell the smell of demons?" Levi looked at the big yellow Shiba Inu next to him.
At this point, these Shendu aristocratic families are most vigilant. They all stare at each other vigilantly. Even when they go to the toilet, the three of them are together. It is conceivable that the recent Shenyin incident has made them...
How vigilant.
He seemed to have a dull expression, the knife in his hand dropped to the ground, and the people around him also fell into hypnosis.
The enemy may not be very strong, but she is very good at escaping. As long as she wants to escape, it will be difficult for anyone to catch her, even Kamizumi Ise Moriyu, who is the top swordsman.
Reality.
Then, a violent blast of spiritual pressure broke out not far away, and in an instant, a woman's figure appeared here, with the sword in her hand wrapped in the violent wind.
However, Li Wei frowned and slowly retreated from the crowd, and soon, he contacted the people from the Ninja Village.
"There seem to be a lot of them, and they all seem to smell like those civet cats." Doumaru's nose moved, as if he was smelling the smell in the air.
"May I ask, sir, can you tell what kind of monster that is?" Kamizumi Isemori Yumi asked, looking at Mamoru who was still holding a sword in his mouth and his face was covered in blood.
"I know the big demon who was associated with the Heping family twenty years ago." Yumi Kamizumi Ise returned.
It chose to trust its nose, completely abandoning the hazy image of the woman, and slashed hard into the air next to a withered tree trunk with the samurai sword in its mouth!
…
Doumaru immediately acted like a very professional stray dog. While rummaging through various garbage and mud puddles, he would occasionally monitor the inside of the station, and he had a good grasp of the situation. Each time, he was tolerated by a guarding retainer and samurai.
Walk through the edge of the range.
This has always been the case. In the early morning, when sleepiness is the most intense, suddenly, the fierce barking of dogs resounded throughout the station, which also made the warriors who had just dozed off suddenly become extremely vigilant and drew their swords one after another.
If you take off the wind travel cloth around its neck and replace it with a bamboo hat and a tattered cloak, it will look more like the same thing.
Then the katana directly cut through the air. Even though it had already struck the woman's body to the naked eye, it seemed to have cut through the air. In the confused expression on Doumaru's face, he passed through the taste for a moment.
Understood something.
Only this mixture of man and demon is the most noteworthy.
When this Shiba Inu returned to Kyoto, he lived with the ninja dogs in the Ninja Village. After all, the only people under Levi who were familiar with dogs were the ninjas who trained ninja dogs.
In dog form, it is a big yellow dog with a body length of only about half a meter. It also carries a short sword on its back. In dog form, it can even bite the sword and draw it to attack.
"You can just pretend to be an ordinary dog and go to the station to ask." Li Wei suggested.
"have no idea."
Amid the shouts of the civet cats, more and more people gathered in front of the stall. Some people were simply curious about the civet cats. Although they had accidentally seen the civet cats jumping up and down in the city before, they had not had time to observe them.
Today I really saw these civet cats who can speak a little human language selling meat in a big way.
"Greetings to the master." Kamizumi Isemori Yumi saw Levi. Even though he was disguised as a different person with make-up, he was recognized by this woman at a glance.
Doumaru also followed the example of ordinary dogs and quickly left with his tail between his legs. Tobiya fled except here and went to other places and started raising his legs to mark again.
Even if it weren't for Li Wei's order, they would have moved away long ago. They would rather live in a newly built civilian house than stay in a place where people disappear every day.
"No need to be polite, I am not coming out as the head of the Fujiwara family." Levi looked at the pool of blood on the ground, went up to dip some in it and smelled it, "Do you still remember the Kiriten Dog in Shendu?
?”
"The smell of the union of humans and demons?" Levi repeated this sentence. The smell of civet cats is normal. A large number of civet cats came here when they were on duty to clean up the nearby rat nests. As for the smell of foxes, Yunji also came here before.
, this is also normal.
It also felt the tornado-like spiritual pressure on this woman's body, which was stronger than its own, but now that it had a more powerful person like Li Wei behind it, it wouldn't feel too much pressure when facing the woman in front of it.
Perhaps in the near future, the tanukis will still set up stalls at the municipal level to commit crimes, and then when they see the Ashigaru team, they will push the stall cart and run away.
Because of Doumaru's special nature, even though he hung out with the ninja dogs every day, he never went out on a mission and was just guarding the gate of the ninja village until Levi brought him out today.
"Where's the snow girl?"
And more people came here to join in the fun. They came over when they saw the crowd here.
"She has escaped." Doumaru said after looking at Izumi Ise Mori Yumi on the attic.
Similarly, the complaints of these people were also heard by Doumaru, even if the voice was very small.
"It's indeed weird. In addition to the smell of civet cats, there is also a hint of fox. At the same time, there is another completely unfamiliar smell. I can't tell what it is. It's like a mixture of human beings."
The taste of monsters." Doumaru said seriously.
A sudden barking broke all the silence, and a big yellow dog suddenly jumped out and bit the retainer's hand holding the knife.
And every time it saw a samurai with a scowl on his face and ready to draw his sword, he would run away quickly.
So not long after, the Ashigaru team came over and dispersed the stalls here, and confiscated the stall. Soon, ninjas came to claim and hand over the tanukis.
The smell and figure of this monster are not in the same place!
Li Wei walked out slowly. He didn't come out just now, he just wanted to put a long line and catch big fish.
"Who is it!" This slight disturbance immediately alerted the nervous Shendu aristocratic families during this period, and then a small group of warriors rushed out, holding swords in their hands with murderous intent.
Li Wei arrived near the residence of the nobles of Shendu, but this time he was not alone. He was accompanied by a Shiba Inu with a wind travel cloth wrapped around his neck.
The dog rummaged through the garbage very skillfully, looking for something in the garbage. Even the warriors of the noble family would only drive away such a dog when they saw it from a distance, as long as it did not enter the noble courtyard.
"Where's the dog! Come on!" After seeing that it was not an enemy but just a big yellow dog that looked like an ordinary person, the warriors immediately waved their hands to disperse, and some people bent down to pick up stones.
"A bunch of meat in exchange for a potato, no matter the price, just give me the potato." The civet cats continued to shout.
"Do you know about the Mist Girl?" Levi asked.
The purpose of his trip this time was to investigate the Shenyin incident in the noble family of Shendu. Li Wei knew that he could not investigate anything by himself. At Yun Ji's reminder, he took this guy with him.
Therefore, many people who are curious will try to buy a bunch to try. I have to say that the civet cats make these mouse meats look really good. In this era where basically nothing can be stewed in a pot.
, they actually felt like a barbecue stall from later generations.
The retainer was instantly in pain and woke up. The sword in his hand also dropped due to the pain, and Doumaru bit the lost katana and slashed hard at the confused woman in his dog form.
"You disguise yourself as a stray dog, and then squat here, noticing the smell of demons at any time. If there is about to be a mysterious incident, call it immediately, and I will appear as soon as possible and hunt it down." Li Wei said.
"Shenyin Shenyin, I should have thought of the Wutian Dog in Shendu when Yun Ji proposed the Wu Nu. The Shenyin incident and the Wutian Dog are bound together." Li Wei frowned, and he seemed to have guessed something.
, if nothing unexpected happens, I am afraid that this incident is related to the great demon Kiritengu in the divine capital.
Even in the records, Kiritengu has been dead for a long time, and its feathers were made into bird feather fans by the emperor.
After all, in the myths here, Kiriten Dog is inseparable from Shenyin. In Weiyuan, especially in the capital of the gods, the Kiriten Dog Shenyin incident is a story passed down from generation to generation.
Although in this story, those people who were hidden in the gods were the experimental subjects who were disappeared by the Kiriten Dog and the Heijie, and then studied the divine blood.
So this time the disappearance of Shendu people, and only Shendu people are missing, is it still related to the divine blood?
