"Ah~ the one who descended is actually daddy, I just got the glory of daddy." Katsushika Yingwei put on new clothes, looked in high spirits, and replied with a smile.
"Now that dad is missing, I am just an immature servant at best. I can't even act alone."
Katsushika should be so self-deprecating.
Musashi blinked, retracted his admiring gaze, and asked curiously: "Miss Arong, who is the father you are talking about?"
Katsushika Yingwei smiled and said: "You must listen carefully, my father is Katsushika Hokusai, an ukiyo-e painter."
"Hokusai Katsushika..."
Musashi repeated the name, looking surprised.
"Could it be the painter Qu Ting and Ma Qin said she had a bad relationship with?"
Katsushika was shocked when he heard this and exclaimed: "Do you know Mr. Ma Qin? But why is it 'her'?"
"Well, because she appeared in the form of her daughter-in-law." Musashi thought for a moment and added, "In addition, the daughter-in-law is also here, but she rarely appears."
"Oh! Is even Xiaomi here?" Katsushika responded with a smile, seeming to miss his old friend.
Yang Yuhuan blinked and said: "Hokusai Katsushika, and Miss Arong, I feel they are similar to Li Bai, they are the type of people who do not hesitate to pay for art..."
When Yang Yuhuan's words came to his ears, Katsushika seemed to have cunning eyes, and smiled: "I didn't expect to see the famous Yang Yuhuan, she is like a fairy, can you let me draw a picture in your likeness? "
"Fairy, what you said is too exaggerated." Yang Yuhuan looked shy and unconfident.
Like other beauties in the world, Yang Yuhuan is also beautiful without knowing it.
Musashi smiled and said: "Sister Yuyu is so humble. You know, that guy is very impressed by your appearance!"
"Didn't Mr. Yu Zhe say something, um..." the general manager thought for a while, "Yun Xiang's clothes and flowers Xiang's face, he said that before reading this poem, I felt that people in the world were superficial."
"Such a beautiful poem will only describe the beauty of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, not a woman."
"No matter how beautiful a woman is, she cannot afford such a poem, but after seeing Sister Yuyu, Mr. Yu felt that he was wrong."
The chief executive leaned forward, got close to Yang Yuhuan's shy face, and said softly.
"That's right, Miss Okita has been jealous for a long time~"
The director teased Yang Yuhuan like this, which made her pretty face blush.
Seeing the beauty's shy look, Katsushika showed admiration. She felt that Yang Yuhuan was really the best model. Just by painting her in, it was a beautiful painting.
The girls joked for a while before talking about the topic in a leisurely manner.
"Anyway, my father and I came to this village together, and we met another descendant, the famous Lord Van Gogh!"
Katsushika Yingwei spoke loudly, with an obvious vulgarity in her words.
"Well, it should be Van Gogh, although she seems a bit strange..."
Yang Yuhuan asked in surprise: "Is there another servant similar to Yuyu?"
"Obviously it's a rare job agency, but I feel like I keep seeing it lately." Souji raised his head feebly, "By the way, Miss Okita also wants to have a very special job agency like this."
Musashi pondered for a while after hearing the words, and barely understood the weirdness of this place. They were probably in a painting.
"So, what happened to you later?"
Hearing Musashi's inquiry, Katsushika nodded slightly and said, "Dad and Van Gogh were eroded by the dragon veins here and completely fell into madness."
"Dad keeps drawing various pictures and telling various stories, using Xiaojiangshan Village as the stage to interpret the contents of the paintings."
When Musashi heard this, he noticed a word and said, "When you talk about dragon veins, do you mean things like spiritual veins?"
In Musashi's understanding, spiritual veins are magical currents flowing underground, which can give magical power to followers and can also be used by witches and priests to cast spells.
"Actually, I don't know..." Katsushika Yingwei scratched his head, "I heard it from Dai Yuan's soldiers. It is said that it can be used to raise real dragons and seize destiny."
"Well, I don't quite understand it. It should be a spell from the Tang Dynasty."
"Anyway, probably thanks to some destiny, everyone who enters the canvas (village) of Father and Master Van Gogh will be trapped in the story of the picture book."
"It will also affect memory and thinking. Follow the description in the picture book."
"In the end, most of them were the result of death, including soldiers and mages of Dayuan, as well as followers. But they all died in the end."
Katsushika couldn't help but curse because he looked sad.
"Damn dad, he always causes trouble to others!"
Souji thought for a while, the cherry hair on his head swaying, and then he seemed to think of something.
"Speaking of which, Ranmaru-san said that she suddenly saw a girl painting and was able to escape."
"Which one does Ranmaru mean?"
Katsushika probably couldn't remember it for the moment.
So Souji briefly described Ranmaru X’s appearance.
"It turned out to be her." Katsushika recalled, "That, um, Miss Ranmaru, is a bit strange. She seems to have a strange attraction."
"Being caught by the earth dragon hidden in the village caused a conflict with dad's picture book. It was also because of this that I was able to help her leave."
"And she's also very lucky. She just happened to find a way out recently."
Afterwards, the four of them talked for a while.
It can basically be confirmed that everything that happened in the village was the result of Katsushika Hokusai and Van Gogh being corrupted by outside gods. Katsushika should be able to use a little bit of the power to draw picture books to give outsiders because of his bond with his father. Someone a little help.
There is also an unidentified earth dragon in the village, which seems to be the result of the so-called dragon vein cultivation.
Earth Dragon doesn't have much sense, and its behavior is just to maintain the progress of the [story].
If we really want to use metaphors, Xiao Jiangshan Village is the canvas, Katsushika Hokusai is the painter, and Van Gogh is more like a paint mixer. Together they depict the story.
Forcing those who enter this place to perform according to the content in the drawing, the result will naturally be the same as the ending depicted in the drawing.
Villagers are necessary, but they are too weak.
If they are mentally manipulated and eroded, they will probably go crazy directly, so there are earth dragons to force them to act according to the content of the drawing.
"And we are the characters in the picture book?"
Musashi murmured in a low voice, looking a little unhappy.
She suddenly remembered the proposal made by Yu Zhe before coming in: destroy the yellow house directly.
Now that I think about it, that turned out to be the easiest way.
After calming down a little, Musashi asked: "So, where are Mr. Hokusai, Mr. Van Gogh, and that Earth Dragon?"
"I don't know." Katsushika spread his hands helplessly, "Even if I knew, I couldn't go. No matter what, I would be drowned in the fog and return to the starting point."
"Can I meet you directly like this, or rely on the underground transfer technique."
It's a mechanism similar to a secret passage under the stage.
After finishing speaking, Yang Yuhuan asked curiously: "Since Miss Arong can't go out, how does she know what's going on outside?"
"You said this."
Katsushika took out a scroll and slowly unfolded it on the table.
"The picture books drawn by dad will be displayed on it, and it can also reflect some realistic developments."
Musashi, Souji, and Yang Yuhuan looked curiously.
What came into view was the scene of the groom marrying three beauties.
Because you look lonely: Chapter 2 Three Rakshasa Ghosts
A village by the river.
Amid the joyful sounds of playing and playing, the wedding team slowly returned to the village.
Although there was no procession to see off the bride, everyone present looked as if they had received the bride.
"Something did appear in the sedan, but there was neither the breath of life nor any feeling of soul. Could it be a corpse?"
"In this case, Miss Aguo's jealousy will probably weaken a little."
Thinking of this, Yu Zhe's lips curled up, without a trace of fear in his heart, just because he was acting with him now, and the reason was just to prevent accidents.
Prevent accidents for these poor villagers.
Although this is a bit restrictive, it adds a little challenge and the rest feels good.
"Just like when playing a game, you will deliberately complete challenges outside the main storyline and obtain trophies."
The rest of them murmured to themselves, looking at the float with the curtains tightly closed, with a trace of expectation in their eyes.
He was a little curious about what kind of monsters and monsters were inside?
"The bride and groom are a match made by nature, a match created by the earth..."
"A match made in heaven, a match made in earth!"
"congratulations!"
Amidst the noise, the wedding team returned to the door of the mansion. At this time, the door was already open. Shidunai and Izumo Akun stood at the door, waiting quietly surrounded by everyone.
A villager who had been waiting for a long time stepped forward and grabbed the reins, signaling the others to dismount.
After the rest of the people dismounted, someone immediately handed over a wedding pole with gold, jade and auspicious cloud patterns, and seemed to ask him to pick up the sedan curtain.
The wedding pole with gold, jade, and cloud patterns was so gorgeous and exquisite that even a vulgar person like me couldn't help but light up when he saw it, but he no longer cared about it the next moment.
Just because of the blessings given by Sita, the rest will gain all kinds of "wealth" while standing.
And this wedding rod was probably given by Izumo Aguo to the villagers for the wedding ceremony.
In short, I have seen so many things like this that the rest have become numb.
"------!"
The rest looked at the villager who was holding the other end of the wedding pole in surprise. There was a trace of intoxication in his eyes, and he was unwilling to let go of the treasure for a moment.
"Let go!" The rest just whispered softly, "You should understand better than me the price of doing something unexpected."
The villager came back to his senses at this time, shuddered, and let go of his hand.
The people watching could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, the eyes of everyone present looked at the remaining man, full of gratitude and a hint of sadness. All they thought about was that this friendly young master might not be around for long.
The rest raised Ruyi and calmly opened the curtain of the sedan chair. In the originally empty interior of the Japanese-style sedan chair from the Heian period, three beautiful figures were sitting.
They were three extremely petite girls. They looked to be no more than twelve years old, probably ten years old.
However, the rest are sure that they are no ordinary girls.
Whether it is their beautiful appearance or the horns on their heads, they all show that they are extraordinary.
"Huh?" Zhidunei in the distance said in surprise, "Isn't this a ghost?"
"ghost……"
The rest repeated it, confirming that the other person was talking about "ghost" in Japanese, and then searched the memories in his mind, and information about Japanese "ghosts" emerged.
Oni in modern Japan usually refers to a very powerful and ferocious monster like a savage or beastman, which is very different from the Chinese "ghost".
The meaning of "鬼" in Chinese tends to be "ghost", while in Japan, ghosts are often called "ghosts".
In short, the so-called ghost in Japan is actually a kind of monster.
But it's not just monsters.
————Rakshasa ghost.
It was in the Tang Dynasty when Buddhist culture was gradually prospering. The ghosts recorded in the countryside were originally demons in Indian mythology and were first seen in the Rig Veda.
When Buddhism and Taoism competed for folk beliefs, it was widely spread by various spirits and monsters.
And it has become a big category in the Six Dynasties Legends, that is, the Rakshasa ghost type story.
The story of the Rakshasa ghost in the Indian story pretending to be a woman and marrying a man to absorb life also became a survival story among Chinese folk at that time.
In the Tang Dynasty, stories about female ghosts doing evil things and sucking people's energy began to lead to Rakshasa ghosts.
Later, with the popularization of concepts inherited from Indian mythology in Buddhism, the general concept of Rakshasa ghosts (demons) was replaced by specific categories such as Yaksha (female ghosts) and Nagas (subdued snakes).
It is good propaganda for Buddhism. Monks mix evil spirits and Rakshasa ghosts and spread stories about monks destroying Rakshasa ghosts. Taoism is not to be outdone and has made up many stories about Taoist priests destroying Rakshasa ghosts.
