Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 119 "Open the Door" (recommendation ticket requested)

About half an hour later, the meeting officially started.

"This time, I came here for one thing, and that is the opening of the gate of ghosts." Wu Yishan said, "And also to reveal a secret to the young Patriarch of the Qianyue family. This secret has been strictly guarded by us. Now you You are entitled to know it, and this is also related to the truth of your grandfather's death."

"My grandpa's...truth?" Qiu Xue said softly.

"That's right, according to your father and others, your grandfather Qian Yuefeng was unfortunately killed by a demon in the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk that year, but the truth is not the case." Wu Yifan stared at Qiu Xue's face. Eyes, "Do you know why the logo of the Exorcist Association is a key?"

"Because it represents two concepts, 'opening' and 'closing', every door must have a key, which is similar to the theory of magic."

"That's right, when the ghosts walked at night, it was your grandfather who paid the price of his life and used the 'key' to close the ghost gate and prevent the demons from flooding into the world. This is the truth, and it is the truth we have worked so hard to keep. Qian Yuefeng is not Killed by a demon. Even your father, Qianyue Tokiomi, we never mentioned this to him." Wu Yishan said.

"But why hide this matter?" Qiu Xue was confused.There is no need to hide it at all.

"Because the key...is special." Arakawa Hideyoshi said lightly, "When we were fighting against the demons, the magicians were watching everything, and only a few local Japanese magicians were willing to help us. At that time, Japanese magic Most of the teachers are Westerners, and they just watched with a cold attitude of watching the excitement. But it was their watching that made us have to create lies."

Asano Monk also spoke: "The key that can close the gate of ghosts is actually an ancient sword with the inscription 'opening the door'. It originated from a small country called Ashina in ancient Japan. Of course, it is no longer found. This is a small country, and there is no trace of it on the map. It is said that after the Warring States period, that country was captured by the inner government and disappeared. Only a few records can be found in some ancient books. Therefore, we cannot find out the origin of this knife. It is exquisite, but "opening the door" is a knife of the underworld. The knife and the seal pattern of the ghost gate are exactly the same, which proves that it is the key to open and close the ghost gate, but this knife is also a cursed knife, and the karma is extremely heavy. Those who do not have the power to bring the dead back to life will undoubtedly die when they draw their swords."

"But who in the world has the miracle of bringing the dead back to life?" Wu Yishan said slowly, "As long as the knife is out of the sheath, the person who draws the knife dies instantly... At that time, demons poured out from the gate of ghosts continuously, and the exorcist suffered heavy casualties. , when it was about to be defeated, it was Qian Yuefeng who stood up. He used some kind of magic to forcibly increase his vitality, and then drew his sword. A miracle happened, and he did not die immediately like the previous one who drew the sword. It was after closing the gate of ghosts that his life passed quickly. The knife contained extremely powerful magic power, or the power of curse. If the magicians knew about it, then they were very likely to steal it by chance. A Taidao, if it’s just a magical Taidao, it’s fine, but this sword is the key to closing the ghost gate. In order to prevent the ghost gate from opening again one day, we must not hand it over easily. The magicians are very curious about us. How did we survive from a desperate situation, and at that time we suffered heavy casualties, and our strength was far inferior to before, so we had no choice but to fabricate this lie to deceive the world."

"Then that knife is the key to closing the gate of hell." Qiu Xue frowned slightly, feeling bad in her heart.

If it is true, as the old people said, whoever draws the sword will surely die, then who else can draw the sword nowadays?

"That is to say, the problem we are facing now is to find a person who can bring the dead back to life, or who has strong vitality, and let him use the key to close the ghost gate." Qiuxue said.

"Although this is also a problem...but the biggest problem right now is not here." Wu Yishan sighed slightly, "The ghost gate was opened artificially, and the 'open door' was stolen."

"What?" Qiu Xue was taken aback, the key was stolen, so how to close the ghost door?

In this way, isn't it just a matter of time before demons flood into the world?

"That Taidao is too weird, you can feel life passing just by putting it around, so in order to prevent magicians from detecting it, and at the same time suppress the evil power in the Taidao, we put the Taidao in a barrier, but But it was stolen by someone." Arakawa Hideyoshi said, "That's why we say that the opening of the ghost gate this time is by no means a coincidence, but someone opened it on purpose."

"As long as we find the real culprit who opened the door to hell, we can take back the sword. As for how to pull out the sword, that is a matter for later." Wu Yishan said.

"Any clues about the thief?" Qiu Xue asked.

"Compared to this... I want to know why he opened the ghost gate, there is a reason for everything, right?" Arakawa Hideyoshi said, "If it is in the person's interest to open the ghost gate, then he is with the demons , maybe we can pry something out of the monster's mouth."

"Prying words from the mouth of a monster?" Qiu Xue was taken aback, "Those monsters..."

"Of course I can speak human language." Arakawa Hideyoshi said flatly, "A certain person was possessed by a demon back then. I beat that person for three days and three nights. Finally, the demon couldn't bear it and ran out begging for mercy. He spoke human language. Understood."

The face of Asano Monk beside him turned green.

"I will do my best." Qiu Xue said.

"Although there are many monsters, be careful, the monsters who have recently escaped from the ghost gate have more information." Wu Yishan reminded.

"Do you need to ask the Exorcist Association to shift its focus to this?"

"No, I'm afraid it will scare the snake, just do it as usual." Wu Yifan said, "As for the three of us, don't intervene for the time being, we are not as vigorous as we were when we were young, and when we are needed When these old bones step into the battlefield, there is a high probability that they will never come back."

"No, you were joking."

"This is not a joke, children of Qianyue's family, one has to obey one's old age." Wu Yi slapped a helpless smile on her face.

"Then this is the end of the meeting."

... * ...

The rain became smaller than before, and Qiu Xue was about to enter the rain curtain, but a withered hand patted her shoulder lightly.

"Master Hideyoshi?" Qiu Xue turned around in surprise.

"It's me, Nozomi Arakawa, are you doing well?" Hideyoshi Arakawa looked at the rain curtain.

"I haven't seen him for a long time." Qiu Xue said.

This is the second time Arakawa Hideyoshi asked.

"It was indeed the child's fault that you fell into the cliff back then, but..."

"I know, the blood is cursed, I don't blame him." Qiu Xue was very calm.

"Master Arakawa, the car is ready." Wu Yi Yizhi stood beside the car and smiled.

"If you want to blame it, blame me. I sincerely wish you happiness, thank you for your hard work." Hideyoshi Arakawa finished speaking softly, and walked into the rain screen.

Qiu Xue gently touched her abdomen, which was once pierced by vampires, but her wound didn't even have a scab, and her skin was still as silky as a baby's.
