83. Mount Tamba
The weather is cloudy.
Qin Ming threw the salt from Longma to exorcism into the fire. After hearing the crackling sound, he was quite helpless.
"It's rainy day... there's nothing I can do."
When he called Nagakura Shinhata to go to Abe's house together in the morning, he found that the weather was not right and it was too dark.
Unexpectedly, after a test, it was indeed rainy.
But there is nothing we can do. It turns out that there are more and more mysteries in the original owner, so it is better to solve them as soon as possible.
"This...is this Yin-Yang Technique?"
Nagakura Shinhara said, "Spraying salt can judge the sun and rain."
Qin Ming said lightly: "The weather is wet before the rain, and there must be crackling sounds when the salt is damp and roasted in the fire. You can do it as well."
"Oh..." Shinhara Nagakura pushed his glasses and sprinkled a handful of salt at the fire, and it made a sound.
“So amazing….”
The famous swordsman was as happy as a child.
"Go and go back quickly. When the rain starts, it will be troublesome."
The overgrown courtyard of Abe's house can be seen at a glance by stopping in front of the door.
Qin Ming has never come back and no one takes care of him. It is better to say that it is a ready-made wasteland than a home.
Nagakura Shinba looked inside and outside the wall and sighed: "This carved Tang-style wall with mountain-eaves decorative tile roof is exactly the same as the Toojimen family in Kyoto."
"Have you been to the Tuyumen family?"
This is the first person around Qin Ming to have an intersection with the Tu Yumen family.
"I visited him while traveling in Kyoto." Nagakura Shinhata pinched the corner of his clothes: "But I didn't even go in the gate."
Qin Ming repositioned the Tuyumen family's style. Why is the Eight-Division Shinba of Yongkang also free from Xu Ji's story? One of the rare great swordsman in the world could not even enter the door.
"Let's go."
Qin Ming pushed open the door and walked straight towards the central bedroom. He didn't dare to approach other rooms.
The grass is lush and fluctuates with the wind. The wind on the rainy day blows on your body, bringing a little coolness and making it look a bit weird.
"Psychological effect...Psychological effect..."
The path along the way is not so deliberately built, but rather a person stepping out of it, as if it is a path where wild animals appear.
“Luckily, I came during the day….”
Qin Ming is lucky.
"Swish--"
hiss...
Qin Mingqiang looked around calmly, his eyes stopped at the hem of Shinhara Nagakura's clothes.
Why are you wearing such a long clothes when you go out? It sounds very loud when you rub the tips of wild grass leaves!
"Do you want to take off your shoes?"
When he arrived at the gate, Shinba suddenly asked.
"No, I'll find something and leave."
Qin Ming shook his head and suddenly heard another voice.
I saw a little Xuan mouse standing on its hind legs, with its black eyes rolling, looking up at itself.
Just as he met Qin Ming's sight, Xuan Moe ran away with a "squeak".
"Every little beast has lived in it. It's been a bit long these days..."
Qin Ming suddenly realized something was wrong. Why was this old house Abe's mansion?
Edo became the center of the world after the establishment of the Tokugawa Shogunate, which was 1603.
The Abe family was changed to the Tumumen family in the generation of Abe's Taichung. It was around 1200. At that time, Heian Kyo, which is now Kyoto, was the core of the military and political affairs, and the main activity area of the Onmyoji.
So how did this Abe mansion come from?
If it was the family business of the Tokugawa Shogunate after the establishment of the Tokugawa Shogunate, the door sign should be Tokugun.
If it was the Abe family who had not changed his surname, the business should have been in Kyoto.
After the establishment of the Edo Shogunate, the Onmyoji of the Tujimen family rushed to Edo, but the old lair Kyo could not give up, and the Onmyoji has always been close to the Emperor.
The Abe family is a lineage of the Tuji family and stayed in Kyoto.
In other words, there is Onmyoji in Edo, but the surname should not be Abe.
Qin Ming did not have any memories of changing the door sign in his mind.
"Get in."
There are still two-faced Buddha statues in the entrance hall. The dust on the ground shows that no one has ever come in during Qin Ming's absence, and it is unknown as to ghosts or something.
"Let's wait at the door."
Nagakura Shinhara stopped. In his opinion, Qin Ming was holding him as a bodyguard. After all, Ii Naohime was dead. Edo was so chaotic. Who knew if a thief suddenly jumped out of the grass, roaring and ruling with the king and expelling the barbarians, rushing up to the sword.
"Get in with me." Qin Ming's words were elegant and decent: "Just treat it as my own family, we are friends, not masters and servants."
Nagakura Shinhara felt warm. He had to know that he was still guilty and could only leave the prison with Qin Ming's guarantee.
He silently tightened the knife around his waist. No matter what, he must protect Lord Abe.
“Main room…Main room…”
Qin Ming looked for the main room he had been to before, and found it in a short while.
The pictures on the door of the jail are as good as before, with large clouds and mists that have come to an abrupt end.
"Yangcang, have you seen this landscape?"
"I haven't seen it before." Nagakura Shinhata thought for a while: "I haven't gone much to the coastal areas and Kyushu places, but this kind of mountain is only available inland. With this cloud and mist, I'm afraid it's still a mountain."
"There are no mountains of this height inland, but it is somewhat similar to the great country where the legendary ghost kings gather, but there is no such place in the world that only appears in strange stories."
Nagakura Shinhara shook his head: "What you have to say is somewhat like Mount Tanbo, but Mount Tanbo is not as high as this kind of clouds. However, it is said that when the red sun rises, you will see a different view on Mount Tanbo, and a sea of clouds will appear in the peaks. If everything is true, it will be in line with this painting."
Qin Ming's heart trembled suddenly.
A great country?
Mount Tanbo?
Didn’t the original owner just go to “the great country of Tampo”?
So, the country of Tanbo has mountains, but it is called Tanbo Mountain, not the great country.
Judging from the words of Nagakura Shinba, the legendary Dajiangshan and the real Danbo Mountain have certain similarities.
The difference is that the height is not enough and there is no cloud or fog.
But in legend, Mount Danbo may see a sea of clouds.
So....
Qin Ming had a bold idea.
Will the sea of clouds appear when the continuous peaks of Danbo Mountain appear?
He carefully recorded the description of Shinhara Nagakura, and investigated the matters of the great country later.
The main thing now is to find clues to the original owner's identity.
"Small table, green running lights, candles, mirrors..."
"That's right, this main room is the bright room used to display props in the Hundred Story game. What I'm looking for is the dark room where people tell stories."
"Did the original body play the Story of Hundred Things before? One person or multiple people?"
Qin Ming searched one by one room, but he didn't see a single room, which was larger than the main room and more suitable as a dark room that tells the story of hundreds of things.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on the door.
"Door...."
"By the way!"
When Qin Ming first came to Abe's house, he felt that these paper-paste barrier doors were a bit special and unpredictable, as if they could be transformed into open channels at any time.
"Nakura, join me and open all the doors!"
