Started from practicing sword in the countryside of the second dimension

However, after checking several books that might record evil spirits in the warehouse of his grandfather's house, the generals wanted to complain.

Let’s not discuss whether the records in these ancient books are true or false, and just talk about the records in the books.

The birth of the evil god of Hoori was due to the fighting at the end of the Warring States Period, which produced many monsters. These monsters attacked ancient Hoori, causing heavy casualties to the local residents.

In the midst of danger, the ancestor of the Asambu family stood up and used his powerful strength to destroy all the monsters and protect Hoori at that time.

But after that.

The unwilling resentment of those dead monsters gathered together and turned into a bigger, stronger and more powerful monster, or in other words, a new individual of the gathering of resentment, which is now the evil spirit.

Unfortunately, most of the records end here, and what follows are some rather vague paragraphs.

There is no record of what happened to the evil spirit or the ancestors of the Chaowu family. There is also no mention of why the descendants of the Chaowu family are still in the shrine today, which highlights the incompleteness of the records.

"Tsk... Ancient records are just like this. The important things are not mentioned at all."

I looked through several old local documents and they were basically the same, so I probably couldn't find any more clues.

Considering that the evil spirit is still active today, it is obvious that the ancestor of the Chao Wu family failed to defeat the other party in the end.

But not necessarily.

After all, the other party is a demon, an existence that all the gods and ministers cannot understand at the moment.

Considering that the exorcism ritual of the shrine maiden needs to be performed regularly.

Maybe killing the evil spirit won't really kill it, but it may gather some resentment, fear or something like that and make it come back.

Jie Shenjiangchen thinks this probability is higher, because this is how this kind of thing is set up in most works.

Unless you seal him away.

However, sealing it will only make the other party gradually stronger inside the seal, and there is a high probability that it will be unsealed inexplicably by someone after several years, thus starting the other party's magnificent life.

"Hey, Mr. Jiang Chen, are you back? I have already heard about the matter from the master. You are still injured, so please make sure to rest more..."

At this time, a middle-aged woman with her hair tied up and dressed very simply passed by and said in surprise when she saw the generals of the gods holding ancient books in the warehouse.

The other person's name is Zhugu Xinzi, and she is the proprietress who was invited by the grandfather of the God General Chen to manage the inn.

In fact, the place where Kaishenjiangchen currently lives is a spare room in the backyard of his grandfather's inn.

Because his grandfather is old and can no longer do the work, the management of the hotel has gradually been handed over to this lady.

"It's not a serious injury. Just wipe it with saliva and it will be healed in two days."

"But Mr. Rentaro said..."

Zhu Gu Xinzi originally wanted to say something, but after taking a closer look at the generals and ministers, he felt that the situation did not seem that serious, so he swallowed his words back.

"Wait, did that Rentaro guy say anything?"

This made Jie Shenjiangchen feel something was wrong. He was sure that his cousin must have said something very exaggerated to describe it, otherwise the other party would not have had this expression.

"Nothing, it would be best if Mr. Jiangchen was not injured... Oh, by the way, the master is in the living room now. If you have nothing to do, you should go see him and let him feel at ease."

"…………Then I'll go after I tidy up this place."

"Leave these chores to me. Sir Jiang Chen should go see the master first. Although he didn't say it, the master has been worried about you since last night."

"That grandfather is worried about me? Hmm... maybe. I'll go over first then."

The general first thought about his grandfather's serious expression and felt that he was not the type to worry about others.

But on second thought, these characters who are usually serious but actually weak at heart are everywhere in the two-dimensional world, so it is not difficult to understand.

"what?"

Just as General Jieshen walked out of the warehouse and was about to walk to the living room, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

So I followed my feeling and took a quick look.

In an instant, at the end of his sight, in the depths of the mountains, he met a pair of malicious eyes.

But this only lasted a moment.

Under the gaze of all the gods and generals, the owner of those eyes slowly stepped back and disappeared in the shade of trees and weeds in an instant.

But this was enough, all the gods and generals recognized the owner of those eyes.

"Interesting. Are you so eager to bare your fangs at me?"

All the generals and ministers chuckled and stared at the place where the other party had just disappeared.

"If you treat me as prey, then it's normal for me to be eaten by the prey, right?"

Chapter 13 Preparations for Going into the Mountains Again

When Kaishin Shōomi arrived at the living room, his grandfather, Kurama Genjuro, was sitting there.

At first glance, the other party seems no different from usual.

But if you look closely, you will find.

Kurama Genjurō's brows were furrowed much deeper than usual.

The tea on the table was no longer steaming, but it had hardly been drunk.

Remove these less obvious points.

The other party's action of tapping the table was quite rare in the memory of all the gods and generals.

After all, his old-fashioned grandfather thought this action was not very elegant.

“…………Is the injury serious?”

Seeing Kaishin Shōcho approaching from the front, and seeing that the other party seemed to be fine, Kurama Genjuro's originally frowned brows suddenly relaxed.

Then he took a sip of tea and asked casually.

"It's just some minor injuries. Doctor Komagawa has checked it out. I just need to rest for a few days and it will heal."

"Even if it's just a minor injury, don't take it lightly."

"I know."

"Well...if you have nothing else to do, go and rest."

His grandfather and all the generals and ministers really had nothing to talk about.

All the generals and ministers could see that the other party was trying his best to think about what to say.

Unfortunately, in the end, it ended with a very casual conversation.

"Although you, as the person involved, don't need my reminder, but it's better to say it. Don't go to the mountain recently. Lord An Qing has already asked the hunters. Let's talk about it after the results are out."

Although he felt it was unnecessary, Kurama Genjuro still mentioned it before Kaishin Shōomi left.

It seems that the so-called wild beast attacking people has become an established fact.

All the generals and ministers did not say anything else, but just nodded to reassure the other party.

"Ah, Brother Jiangchen, is it true that a wild wolf ate half of your butt?"

After walking out of the living room and taking a few steps in the corridor, a female voice behind me asked in surprise.

"Xiaochun, did you hear this from Rentaro?"

After hearing this outrageous statement, all the generals were silent for a moment.

Then he faced the woman behind him, his cousin Kurama Koharu, with an unusually bright smile.

"Don't talk nonsense, I never said such a thing!"

Immediately, Kurama Rentaro, who was not far behind Kurama Koharu, came over and took off the pot that was thrown on his head.

"But Brother Lian, you did say that Brother Jiang Chen was bitten by a wolf, and it was super tragic or something."

"Jiang Chen's clothes are all torn, I didn't lie at all!"

"Ren Taro......"

"General, General, I am your cousin, don't you trust me so much?!"

“…………Ah, forget it. In the end, it’s still because I didn’t win. Next time, I will let you taste the flavor of a roasted whole wolf.”

Kaishin Shōomi stared at Kurama Rentaro for a while, then shook his head.

After all, the main reason for this rumor was that his clothes were torn by that bastard "wolf".

It is common for rumors to be exaggerated in rural areas.

Ultimately the main reason was that he was not strong enough, so it was not his cousin's fault.

If he could defeat the opponent without getting hurt, there wouldn't be such rumors.

"But as for the wolves... Although we can still joke about the problem of Masahiro, it is really disturbing to see wolves roaming the forests in Hoori."

Joking aside, after chatting for a while, Kurama Rentaro became serious for a rare time.

After all, it is an indisputable fact that all the gods and their ministers were injured.

Although he was able to make jokes when things didn't seem very real at first.

But in fact, apart from chatting with his sister when Kaishin Shōomi first left last night, Kurama Rentaro really didn't say anything afterwards.

Mainly when he lies in bed at night, thinking about the day's events.

The reality that all the gods and generals were injured suddenly came to my mind.

After all, the place where the other party was injured was the forest where townspeople like them usually went to play.

The route chosen by all the gods and generals was not a remote one, but the one that was most frequently visited.

The thought came to my mind: Isn't this extremely dangerous?

"Indeed, this dangerous problem still needs to be dealt with as soon as possible..."

Kaishin Shōomi agreed with Kurama Rentaro's statement.

Could that kind of wild beast that was staring at him hungrily stay so peacefully in the forest?

No! Of course not!

Thinking of this, all the gods and generals wanted a weapon that was handy.

After all, humans are able to defeat wild beasts by using tools.

The longsword his grandfather gave him was okay, but an unsharpened sword was just a piece of iron after all.

In terms of the amount of material used, it is not as solid as an iron rod.

But this kind of thing cannot be discussed with these two people.

Thinking in this way, all the generals and ministers felt that it didn't matter if they didn't have weapons.

After all, he had already suppressed his opponent in the last duel.

Several more points were added afterwards, and it will only be easier than the last time.

If you want a weapon, you might as well see if you can pull out your spine and use it as a sword after your life points are high.

Judging from the comprehensiveness of his point-adding system, it may be possible to do it after reaching a certain level.

But that is a matter for the future.

"By the way, will tomorrow's Spring Festival be held normally?"

After what happened yesterday, Kurama Koharu was a little worried that tomorrow's activities would be cancelled.

"It should go on as scheduled. This is not an event that can be easily interrupted."

If this Spring Festival was just an ordinary festive celebration, it would not be surprising to be cancelled at this time.

However, the generals of the gods knew that this spring festival was the key to suppressing filth.

If the number of incidents of evil spirits attacking people is to be reduced, holding the Kasuga Festival without any surprises must be the primary goal of Kenzane Shrine.
