I loaded the ghost talk game

In this world, at Kamiyakawa's home.

Kamiya woke up from the big bed in the master bedroom, quickly got up and went downstairs.

He had to go see what happened to his little apprentice.

Quickly walking to the door of the living room, Kamiyakawa saw that the Kaitan Yougui, Xiaolu and her shikigami from home were all gathered here.

Additionally, the Dream-Eating Tapir is in the living room.

Because Kamiya needs to go to Takamagahara to "log out" when leaving the ordinary world, but as Kamiya's shikigami, the little tapir can use Kamiya's body left in the real world as a basis to appear directly and move freely within a certain range. .

So she got there faster than Kamiya.

In the living room——

The little tapir, which has transformed into an adult form, is sitting sideways with its slender legs together.

The little apprentice Tsurumi Aoi rested his head on the little tapir's thigh. He seemed to be in a deep sleep, but his breathing was very stable.

Beside the two of them were Kanoya and Kosodetsu, who had taken on a human form.

The fawn was holding the little pink-furred weasel in its arms, and was stretching its neck to look at the peaceful sleeping face of its junior sister.

Xiaoxiu Shou sat quietly and dignifiedly, lowering his eyes to quietly observe his master's condition.

Observing the emotional changes of the two of them, it can be seen that their emotions have changed from the original nervousness and anxiety to stability and curiosity.

In the corner of the living room, Ayori, Hayao Obara, and the little kappa Miyako were gathering together.

Caizhi held a roughly carved wooden dragonfly in her hands, and colorful and gorgeous oil paint flowed down from her hands and the hem of her princess dress.

The three girls all tilted their heads and looked at the wooden dragonfly seriously.

"How is Aoi?"

Kamiyagawa walked into the living room.

"It's okay, owner, look, Aoi is sleeping soundly."

The little tapir was the first to reply. As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to help Tsurumi smooth some soft black strands of hair around his ears.

"Is this a question of whether you sleep soundly or not..." In fact, just looking at the state of everyone in the living room at this time and the atmosphere that has become less tense, Kamiya can know that nothing serious has happened to Tsurumi. , "What happened?"

"Master, let me tell you! Well..."

Xiaolu hurriedly spoke.

As someone who had been staying with Tsurumi just now and saw the whole incident, she did have the right to speak.

However, he paused just as he spoke.

Xiaolu hurriedly gathered up the drawings spread out on the small table in front of him and stuffed them into his handbag.

Her expression looked slightly guilty, but she tried to straighten her expression:

"Xiao Kui was sitting here just now, reading notes related to the art of controlling spirits. I was also reviewing that with her! Then suddenly, the wooden dragonfly on the TV cabinet flipped over, and I smelled a metal The smell rolled around the two of us, and before I could react, Xiaokui fell down with a thud! "

Probably because he had learned from Little Tapir that his junior sister was fine, Kanoya relaxed and used his body movements to describe the incident vividly.

Kamiya glanced helplessly at the handbag at Xiaolu's feet, then turned to look at the wooden dragonfly that was being held by Little Crayon Aori.

Is it really the influence of that thing?

Honda Tadakatsu’s wood dragonfly.

This old handicraft was a trophy obtained by Kamiyagawa when he took his two apprentices out on a mission to remove ghosts earlier.

It was obtained by the young disciples after defeating two ferocious red basin monsters.

Later, after identification, it was found that the wood dragonfly itself was not a particularly valuable prop, and could at most be used as a support for weak wandering spirits.

However, considering that the wood carving was made by the famous Japanese Warring States general Honda Tadakatsu, it can be considered to have certain humanistic value and collection significance. So after getting it, Kamiyagawa casually placed the wooden dragonfly on the TV cabinet in the living room as a decoration.

"Just now in Santu River..."

Kamiyakawa thought of what happened in Santuchuan just now.

Xiang Yuexun said that some souls of human heroes who were about to decay but were powerful during their lifetime were guided by the power of Yama's bones and passed away first.

Are Honda Tadakatsu among the souls of human heroes who have passed away?

Think about it this way, what happens on both sides of the ordinary world and reality is not a coincidence, but a chain.

"So, maybe Honda Tadakatsu's soul left Santukawa and was about to die, but it came back and attached itself to this wooden sculpture carved by him during his lifetime?" Kamiyakawa thought.

So, why did Honda Tadakatsu drag Tsurumi, who was beside the wooden sculpture, into a dream?

Do you have some unfulfilled wish?

"Little Tapir, Tsurumi, what did she dream about?"

"I can take everyone to see Puff."

The little tapir gently touched Tsurumi's head with his hand, and immediately a complex and confusing rainbow light overflowed from both of their bodies. The dreamy colored light spreads throughout the living room, flickering on and off, making everything around it look dreamy and unrealistic.

Then, those arc lights were extinguished one by one, and the surroundings of Kamiya and others suddenly became empty.

Looking at the surrounding environment, it is no longer the living room at home.

Instead, it is a dry landscape style courtyard made of finely raked sand, overlapping stone lanterns, evergreen trees, moss and other scenery, without any modern elements.

Although the little tapir usually likes to sleep and is not active, he is particularly attentive to the instructions of his owner Kamiyagawa.

Because of the owner's words, she brought everyone in the living room directly into Tsurumi's dream, or rather, she moved the scene in Tsurumi's dream directly into reality.

After becoming a god, Xiao Mo has become more and more adept at controlling these real and imaginary powers.

...

"Where is this?"

Tsurumi Aoi looked around with her eyes fixed, and found that she was in a completely unfamiliar environment.

A spacious courtyard with an antique flavor.

The ground was covered with white sand, and a unique stone group stood in a corner of the courtyard. The dry landscape garden style with Zen meaning was somewhat similar to the courtyard of Yoshikoji's home.

The landscape of this courtyard was clearly clear and vivid, but upon closer observation, there was a vague sense of unreality.

At this time, Tsurumi's consciousness was very clear.

She remembered what happened just now, and she remembered it very clearly-

This afternoon, she and her senior sister had a rare half-day break and did not have to do special practice.

As usual, even on his day off, Tsurumi spent his time at Kamiya's house, but the teacher went to the regular world at noon.

Kamiya's teacher is very busy.

Tsurumi was originally staying in the living room of his house with his senior sister. She was looking through the notes of the knowledge points of the past issues of the spirit control technique, while his senior sister was sitting next to him drawing.

Drawing seems to be one of the ways for his senior sister to relax on weekdays.

As for Xiaolu's paintings, Tsurumi was also lucky enough to see them. They are comics about exorcism.

The protagonist is a young exorcist, a bit like... Mr. Kamiya in his youth?

The senior sister drew the little boy protagonist very cutely.

Then, the senior sister is very talented in painting and draws comics very well.

The only flaw is that the hand-drawn comics that Xiaolu showed to Tsurumi are all incoherent. Often after the protagonist encounters a demon, turning back to the next page is the ending content of the battle, and the exorcism battle is completely skipped.

Tsurumi also asked why the exorcism battle was not drawn.

And the senior sister never gave a direct answer.

However, Tsurumi didn't dwell on this too much. Considering that drawing comics is just a way for the senior sister to pass the time, and it won't be officially published, it doesn't matter what content she likes to draw or how complete the plot is, as long as the senior sister is happy.

Anyway, back to the point, this afternoon was originally a very peaceful home rest routine.

Until that moment just now.

Tsurumi felt a cold wind coming from behind, and then like a scene in a movie, she came to this dry landscape garden "seamlessly".

"Did I leave Mr. Kamiya's house, or... am I dreaming?"

Through observation of the surrounding environment, Tsurumi's judgment of her own situation is more inclined to the latter.

She had had strange and extremely lucid dreams before, about Kamiya River and Mary on the snowy mountain.

She also had some experience with dreams affected by extraordinary powers.

In addition, she occasionally came into contact with the dream-eating tapir as the master of dreams, so she had more experience in this regard.

Since it was a dream, Tsurumi was not too worried about her situation. After all, before she entered the dream, she was staying at Kamiya's house, and the teacher's Shikigami, Dream Eater Tapir, was now the god who dominated dreams.

I don't think any illusion can trap her.

Then, Tsurumi checked her own condition again.

The three famous swords Ichimonji, Smiley Aoue, and Hotaru were not around. Because it was difficult for her to learn the spirit control technique very deeply, she could not sense the existence of the Shikigami Kosotto. However, she could still feel Mary's blessing.

In other words, even in the dream, Mary could still calmly give power to Tsurumi.

This kind of illusion trick is really not worth mentioning in front of the real god.

Just as the skilled and daring Tsurumi was considering whether to take the initiative to explore this dream, she suddenly saw a figure slowly emerging under a big pine tree in the corner of the courtyard.

It was a thin and sturdy old man, sitting cross-legged under the tree. He was wearing a jet-black domaru, which was based on black thread and dark Iyo-za, with a lot of gold decorations in key areas, and even the sleeve armor and leather cuffs looked exquisitely crafted.

The most eye-catching thing about this overall outfit was the pair of black deer horns on his star-shaped hood.

In addition, there was a square flag next to this old general in black armor.

The flag was painted with Zhong Kui.

Born in a famous family, Tsurumi had a good understanding of historical knowledge. She felt that the flag should be a horse seal, a symbol that indicated the position of a general on the battlefield.

It seemed that she had read in a book that generally only samurai who commanded more than a thousand soldiers were qualified to use horse seals.

A deer horn hood on the head... a flag with a Zhong Kui horse seal...

"Honda Tadakatsu?"

Tsurumi remembered that there was a dragonfly wood carving carved by Honda Tadakatsu in the living room of her home.

And if I think about it carefully, it seems that the cold wind that blew from behind just now was also coming from the direction of the wood carving.

So, the one who brought me into the dream was the Warring States general known as "the unparalleled in the East"?

"Little kid, you can recognize me."

Honda Tadakatsu slapped his thigh and stood up from the ground with a laugh.

This famous Warring States general was not tall, and because of his old age, he looked more than half a head shorter than the tall Tsurumi. But even so, Tadakatsu, wearing a gorgeous armor, still had a majestic aura.

His eyes were sharp, and he nodded to Tsurumi, seeming to be very satisfied: "Very good, very suitable, just like me back then, you have a warrior's heart. Little kid, I will teach you how to use a gun."

"Use a gun?"

"Yes. If you want to learn, you must hurry up, I don't have much time left here."

Hondo Tadakatsu said this, pointing to the courtyard wall on one side.

Two long spears were leaning against the white wall at some point, both typical Japanese large-bodied spears, with thick spear heads and huge sizes. They were also large Sasa-spiked spears, with spear spikes like Sasa leaves, pointed at the front end, wide in the middle, and gathered at the tail. The spear blade was sharp, reflecting the cold white light.

"Is this Tonkiri? There are two?"

When mentioning Honda Tadakatsu, Tonkiri cannot be ignored.

This is a famous spear that enjoys the same reputation as its owner.

Tonkiri is one of the three famous spears in Japan. It is said that the spear head is so sharp that it can instantly cut off a flying dragonfly even when it is standing still, hence the name.

This spear was specially made by Tokugawa Ieyasu and presented to Honda Tadakatsu. A fierce general with a sharp spear is naturally more powerful than a tiger. When Honda Tadakatsu was at his peak, he wore a deer hood armor, held a Tonkiri, and wore a Sangoku black on his crotch, and rushed into the enemy camp as if he was in an empty space.

Whenever an enemy saw Tadakatsu's Zhong Kui horse seal, they would shout: "The Tonkiri is Honda Heihachi!"

The enemy army then collapsed.

"Little kid, you also know that you are in a dream now, right? Since it is a dream, it is not strange to see two Tonkiri, right? Hehe, when I was young, I could still swing the long handle, but I can't do it when I am old."

Honda Tadakatsu said this, his body shaking, and walked to the wall to pick up the short-handled Tonkiri.

Indeed.

The handles of the two Tonkiri are not the same length.

Regarding Tonkiri, there is a saying in the world that this legendary spear is a long-handled spear with a handle of six meters. However, this length is controversial, and the real Tonkiri was lost when Honda Tadakatsu's second son Honda Tadatomo participated in the Battle of Osaka. Now there are only imitations of the Tonkiri spear head in the world.

However, the Tonkiri that Tsurumi saw in his dream now has a long handle of about four meters, and the short handle that Honda Tadakatsu picked up is more than three meters.

As for why there are two Tonkiri of different lengths in the dream, perhaps another rumor about this famous spear is true-

It is said that Honda Tadakatsu could not use Tonkiri freely in his later years due to the force majeure of physical decline, so he cut off part of the handle.

Considering that this "Eastern Peerless" pulled her into the dream for the purpose of passing on her skills, and that she was old, Tsurumi had to respect him, so she stepped forward and respectfully said "Please teach me more", and then picked up the long-handled Tonomakiri.

Tsurumi now has quite good practical experience in exorcism, even the Aragami has fought with real swords and guns, and her talent is there. Her fighting skills are second to none in Japan, except for her teacher Kamiyagawa.

But she has always been used to long swords, and it is a bit uncomfortable to suddenly get a big gun in her hands.

In addition, Tonomakiri is a spear-mounted gun in terms of structure.

Tsurumi's understanding of cold weapons is, after all, modern thinking--

Looking at the whole world, in the field of cold weapons, spears and lances, the spears and lances developed in most regions are armored as the mainstream, that is, the spear head has a barrel, which is directly fixed on the gun barrel.

Only in Japan, the trend has been against the norm. For quite a long time, the mainstream has been the collet-mounted gun, which is the inserted stem type. The stem of the gun must be inserted into the barrel at the top of the gun to fix it. A little more sloppy, like the long guns used by the lower-level foot soldiers in the Warring States period, there is not even a metal barrel sleeve, and the gun head is directly tied and fixed with hemp ropes, leather strips, etc.

If the gun head of the Tonomakiri is taken out completely, the length is nearly 60 cm, almost like a short sword with two edges.

Compared with the collet-mounted gun, the collet-mounted gun must have the defect of not being strong enough.

However, this point is not reflected at all in the famous gun Tonomakiri.

After all, it is one of the three most famous guns in Japan. Tonomakiri represents the pinnacle of the skill of collet-mounted guns.

Take a close look at this long gun. The stem of the gun head is inserted into the metal barrel sleeve, and it is fixed by the mouth metal and reverse wheel. It fits perfectly, the gun head is carved, and the position of the gun shaft is engraved with Sanskrit inscriptions. The gun handle is decorated with mother-of-pearl, which is glittering and colorful. Even the appearance is as gorgeous as a work of art.

This famous gun fully utilizes the advantages of a spear-mounted gun, which is easy to grasp the blade and is conducive to chopping. At the same time, due to the pinnacle of the stem insertion technique, the feel of the Tonkiri thrust is definitely not bad.

Tsurumi has a small hobby of collecting all kinds of weapons.

She really likes this Tonkiri in her hand!

Tsurumi is still trying to get started with Tonkiri. At this time, Honda Tadakatsu, who is standing opposite with a gun, said: "Little kid, if you like it, it's not too late to watch it slowly later. We have to hurry up and start."

Then, Honda Tadakatsu shook his body, took a stance, and his eyes were extremely excited. With the black domaru, he really looked like an old and strong black tiger.

The deer horn hat on his head is eye-catching, and the Tonkiri in his hand is even more chilling.

"Watch out - Heihachi the Devil, here I come!" (End of this chapter)
