My Weird Life

Su Wu stared at the thread of cause and effect in his hand that was drifting away like fishy smoke to the distant village. As his thoughts turned, the spinning cause and effect talisman instantly showed its divine light, trying to reflect the witch's thread that he had forcibly taken away. More causes and effects lingering on the arm—

  Under the rotation of the divine light of the Karma Talisman, the cause and effect winding on the witch's arms were densely packed and scattered in Su Wu's field of vision!

So many entanglements of cause and effect, it is impossible to cut them off and the reasoning remains chaotic!

Su Wu’s idea of ​​using the talisman of cause and effect to reveal more useful clues naturally came to nothing.

 He saw the swollen arm in his hand suddenly rotting away, then he dropped it and looked around in a blink of an eye.

Tao Zu and Hong Renkun were already standing at the edge of the forest with Xiao He.

 On the ground in front of you.

The corpse that he cut open with a short knife only had a highly decomposed skull inside the chest and abdomen, without the swollen woman's head.

Su Wu raised his eyes and glanced at the distant village that was causally connected with the 'Witch Arm', then stepped out of the forest and walked towards Tao Zu, Jianzhen and a group of local Dongliu Islanders who were surrounding them.

The raging fire spontaneously ignited behind him without fire, burning all the swollen corpses on the ground to prevent the strange charm contained in the corpses from hurting innocent people again.

"Did you find anything?" Tao Zu asked Su Wu with great interest, "Just when there was a strange charm coming out of the corpse you opened just now, your figure also disappeared without a trace. .

I thought you had wandered into some underworld, so I used the 'Breath of the Underworld' to trace your traces, but I didn't find your traces in the underworld ravine. Juiyun seems to have entered an unknown world. "

"It should be that we have entered another level of Dongliu Island that is involved in cause and effect." Su Wu nodded and responded to Tao Zu's words, "I did make some discoveries."

 He then passed on some of his previous discoveries to his companions through his mind.

Then he asked Jianzhen: "This witch should be the 'Woodmaid of the Candlelight'? She seems to have mastered the 'Ten Destruction Swords'."

 Why did she turn into the face of "Haruko", and what is her connection with Haruko? "

"Haruko Inoue built the 'Zhuzhao Shrine'. After the completion of the shrine, she disappeared." Jianzhen clasped his hands and replied to Su Wu, "She also searched everywhere to find the 'Ten Destruction Swords' clues."

Su Wu frowned when he heard this.

Jianzhen had previously claimed that 'Haruko Inoue' existed in 'Rashomon', but now it was also claimed that Haruko had disappeared, and Su Wu saw the 'Witch Shine Maid' transformed into Haruko's face... The mystery now becomes more and more complex. The more he read, the more Su Wu felt that if he wanted to solve the final mystery, 'Haruko' was also one of the key factors.

“You said before that Qingzi was in Rashomon.” Su Wu stared at Jianzhen and said.

Jianzhen lowered his head and said, "Qingzi is in Rashomon."

Su Wu frowned even more tightly: "Now it is said that Qingzi disappeared after the Zhuzhao Shrine was built. Don't try to play riddles with me. What happened to Qingzi in the end?

If you don’t know, just say you don’t know. Don’t use your words to deceive me and raise doubts! "

As he spoke, Su Wu's eyebrows opened quietly, and a fire hole appeared behind his head. The 'Nagarjuna Great Sun God' was coiled around a brain-shaped existence that seemed to be nothingness but not nothingness, and stretched out its branches. , the dense branches shrouded Jianzhen's head, and the rays of the sun poured down, judging every word Jianzhen said at the moment!

"Qingzi is missing." Jianzhen replied to Su Wu. He felt the branches of the soul above his head trembling suddenly, so he lowered his eyes and said a few more words, "Qingzi is also in Rashomon. Rashomon." The 'Beauty's Creepy' in the door was released by me into the human world and has disappeared without a trace.

 Haruko’s ‘thoughts’ placed on various utensils were collected by me and gathered in Rashomon, turning into a new ‘beauty’ inside.

 But the real Haruko had already lost her trace at this time.

The reason why the poor monk collected the "thoughts" she left on various beloved things is to save them for later and use them to lure you to the Tang Dynasty.

 —The Haruko you saw in that temple before was the memory of Haruko.

 After seeing you, she disappeared. "

After hearing what Jian Zhen said, Su Wu's expression softened slightly. The branches of the soul that enveloped Jian Zhen's head slowly closed up and disappeared behind his head. He then asked: "Since you knew these things earlier, why didn't you do it earlier? speak out?"

“Earlier, the poor monk didn’t know the real situation.” Jianzhen said, “But now, back on Dongliu Island, the poor monk collected the charm scattered on the corpse and gradually recovered part of his memory.”

Su Wu is no longer entangled with Jianzhen.

He looked at the anxious and bewildered Dongliu Islanders and said, "I have discovered some clues related to the mass death of your fellow villagers.

Now I need you to come with me and go to that village to have a look. "

As he spoke, Su Wu pointed to the distant village where the cause and effect of the witch was implicated.

Many islanders nodded. They didn't know what clues Su Wu had found, but since Su Wu said so, they believed it - and they didn't dare to ask Su Wu for details.

The leading white-haired old man stepped forward, saluted Su Wu and said, "Sir, there is only one village in the direction you are pointing, called 'Haijin Village'.

 There is the only surviving woman in Haijin Village.

 We sent people to take care of the woman at her house.

 You said earlier that you wanted to take a look at the surviving woman, and now is the right time—it’s getting late. Do you want to eat some food first? We prepared venison…”

"No need." Su Wu shook his head, "I don't have the heart to eat now.

 Let’s go over and see the situation first before we talk! "

"yes…"

Su Wu heard what the white-haired old man said, and he had a feeling in his heart that the only surviving woman in Haijin Village might have some involvement in the cause and effect of the "Takelight Witch Maid".

Even more, she might be the person pointed by the cause and effect that Su Wu forcibly pulled over.

 After he responded to the white-haired old man, he glanced at Hong Renkun.

Hong Renkun’s eyes suddenly understood Su Wu. He faced the many islanders and nodded: "Go to sleep!"

When the islanders heard Hong Renkun's words, they all became drowsy, staggered around, and fell asleep on the spot.

And when they fell asleep, Tao Zu had already activated the 'breath of the underworld', absorbing everyone present into it, and disappeared in an instant!

The fishy smell in the air was greatly reduced because several swollen corpses were burned to ashes in the forest. As the breeze blew, the fishy smell became lighter and weaker.

On the **** beside the forest, there was the sound of hurried footsteps.

The sound of footsteps got closer and closer, and then stopped suddenly at a certain moment. With a cry of surprise, a young man wearing ragged clothes rolled down the slope. He lay down in the mud and screamed "ouch, ouch" several times before slowly getting up from the mud.

The young man did not bother to clean up the mud on his body, and limped toward Haijin Village in the distance.

 The young man seemed to have been running for a long time to get here.

He kept panting, and his breath did not calm down for a long time.

This young man is "Yujiro", the groom of the house of "Samurai Koichiro", and his home is in Kaijin Village. Previously, he left here with the samurai Koichiro, found an opportunity halfway, and escaped on his own - a tragic mass death occurred in his hometown village. Even if he could not see his parents and brothers for the last time, he should at least collect their bodies for them. Send them on their last journey.

Furthermore, he heard that there was a woman in the village who was lucky enough to survive.

Although it is unlikely that the woman who survived was his mother, what if?

 …

 The light in the simple thatched house was dim.

 The floor of the house, which is not paved with bricks and stones, is full of mud puddles.

 The smell of feces and the smell of rotting sea fish flowed together in this small room, making it extremely uncomfortable.

On the only 'bed' in the hut, which was supported by stones and made up of several wooden boards, a woman with a dirty face lay on it. The woman hummed hoarsely: "Water...water..."

Someone who was looking after her brought a water bowl in front of her, but she shook her head and shook it away. She shouted again: "I want fish soup, I want fish soup..."

"This is fish soup..." The young man holding the water bowl felt a little aggrieved.

He was ordered by the village chief to take care of the only survivor in Haijin Village. However, it was too difficult to take care of him. The other party kept shouting "water" and "fish soup", but he sent them both water and fish soup. But the other party refused to drink and knocked over the water.

"water…"

 The woman closed her eyes and her voice became much hoarse.

The young man smelled the stench in this room that was many times stronger than elsewhere, and hurried out of the house with the bowl of fish soup.

As soon as he walked out of the house, the woman inside shouted even louder: "Fish soup, fish soup!"

He listened to the shouts in the room and sighed helplessly. When he was at a loss, he saw a group of people approaching in a hurry. Those people were surrounded by several 'giants' that the young man had never seen before. The young man's His eyes fell on those 'giants', and he couldn't look away for a while.

The voices of the people around him fell into his ears one after another at this time: "This is the residence of 'Mrs. Tsuichiro'.

 There were originally four people in their family.

 Besides her, there are her husband and two sons.

When the accident happened last night, her husband and eldest son went fishing in the sea despite heavy rain - but they died on the boat, exactly like the other deceased people..."

 “Where is her second son?”

“The second son... seems to be working as a slave in the house of a certain Numata lord.

 We saw him before..."

"Huh?" Su Wu heard the answers from the people around him. He stopped, looked at the man with small eyes who was talking, and asked him, "Have you seen the second son of Tsuichiro's family before?"

"...Yes..." The small-eyed man suddenly became frightened under Su Wu's gaze, but he did not dare to lie, so he told Su Wu the situation at that time, "Yongjiro came here with you. There was a samurai-sama behind him, but we didn’t dare to talk to him at that time for fear of being scolded by the adults - we had heard Mrs. Tsuichiro mention earlier that her son worked as a domestic servant at the samurai-sama’s house in Numata and had enough to eat every day. very full…"

"The only servant among the people traveling with us is the groom." Hong Renkun said at this time, "No wonder I saw that he looked uneasy at the time. I guess he knew something was going on at home. Things are happening, so I can’t sit still.”

“Let’s find him here too.” Su Wu nodded and said.

Hong Renkun said ‘hmm’: “I’ll just go find him.”

After speaking, the square-faced middle-aged man disappeared directly on the spot. Many islanders present were not surprised when they saw this scene - when Hong Renkun disappeared, the memory of 'Hong Renkun's disappearance' also disappeared from their minds. impression.

Su Wu then raised his eyes and looked at the thatched house in front of him.

Outside the house, a wooden wall was woven with sticks and vines. There was a young man standing inside the fence holding a coarse pottery bowl, looking up at Su Wu.

Not far from the fence, there is a well.

 The villagers should get their daily drinking water from this well.

Surrounded by everyone, Su Wu stepped into the fence, and an even stronger rotting stench lingered in the muddy courtyard.

Su Wu saw that the ray of cause and effect that he intercepted was traveling to the only thatched house in the courtyard.

He followed the thread of cause and effect into the thatched house. When he passed by the young man, he glanced at the water bowl he was holding.

 The water bowl was filled with turbid fish soup, still steaming out.

In the room, a woman with a dirty face was lying on a wooden bed. She was shouting towards the door: "Water - water -"

At this time, Su Wu stepped into the house, his body blocking the sunlight coming in from outside.

 When the old woman on the bed saw his figure, she suddenly stopped shouting and slowly turned her head to face the wall.

 The stench of feces and putrefaction mixed together and flowed here.

The thread of cause and effect from the witch is now wrapped around the old woman on the bed.

The rest of the people followed him into the house, and they all frowned under the impact of the filthy stench in the house.

 “Fish soup…fish soup…”

Mrs. Tsuichiro was facing the wall on the bed, and her shouts became very soft.
