Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 80 The Curse of the Arakawa Family
"Who would do such a thing?" The old man pondered, "To open the ghost gate, not only the 'key' is needed, but also the location of the ghost gate."

"I don't know, but what is certain is that it is not a human being. I observed the torrential rain a few days ago." Wu Yifan said.

"I saw it too. I stayed on the top of the mountain, and it was thundering very hard." The old man sat in the yard, drinking and refilling tea constantly. This was his habit, but when he was still young, It is not tea that is poured into the mouth, but wine.

Wu Yifan couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart. He never thought that this old friend was so old that his body was rickety, and he dared to run to the top of the mountain in a thunderstorm... Could it be that he learned something like "crossing robbery" when he was hanging out with those Taoist priests in China... …

"However, natural lightning that can be manipulated... is it really possible?" the old man murmured silently.

"I don't know, even a magician's magic can hardly cause this kind of natural phenomenon?"

"Perhaps a demon?"

"What demon can trigger such a supernatural power? Oh, I know one, Lei Gong." The old man said.

"Isn't that a character in Chinese myths and legends? They are not demons and ghosts."

"That might be the Lightning Bird!" The old man looked stern.

"Please, that's the elf in "Pokemon"! Aren't you living in seclusion? Aren't you living a life like a hermit, and you're still hiding in this thatched hut secretly playing with your handheld?" Wu Yifan was speechless.

"You know so much about these things, you must have played a lot on weekdays..." The old man drank tea silently.

Wu Yishan was a little speechless about the old friend's thinking, "No matter who opened the ghost door and what purpose, we have to close the ghost door, and then look for traces of the mastermind behind the scenes."

The old man was silent for a while: "How many ghosts have escaped from the ghost gate?"

"There hasn't been a large influx yet, the gate of ghosts has been opened, but the passages in the other world are still very narrow, but their influx is only a matter of time."

"I can help with other things... but I can't help with breaking the blood seal." The old man lifted the teapot, but there was no more tea in it.

"Removing the seal is not a difficult task for you."

"That's right, lifting the seal is easy for me, but do you still remember our final battle decades ago? I have been cursed. From now on, whenever the descendants of the Arakawa family use their own abilities, they will enter a state of insanity and extreme bloodthirsty. Crazy state. I still remember the second year after the end of the war, when Genji Arakawa was born, when he landed safely, I thought that the curse was just a bluff, until Genji was eight years old, he inspired us The bloodline ability of the family, and then, as the curse said, he lost his mind. At that time, the servants in the family were almost killed by him, but fortunately I stopped him in time. But then Yuaner ran away, and I chased him for three days After three nights, I finally found him in the depths of a mountain forest. Do you know that he survived alone in the deep forest for three days and hunted down three grizzly bears weighing nearly [-] kilograms... When I When I found him, he was eating the internal organs of a grizzly bear, like a crazy beast. So I sealed the blood of our family. Indeed, killing is a kind of ability given to us by God, but we have been cursed. If the bloodline is opened again, the killing impulse in the body will be irresistible, in other words, we have already become devils when we are cursed, and sealing the bloodline of the Arakawa family is to lock the devil into a cage."

"You never told us about this matter." Wu Yishan whispered, "This is the reason why you quit the exorcism family."

"That's right, I've looked for a way to lift the curse, but it didn't work."

"Maybe the Wuyi family..."

"Don't make me laugh. The "Emperor's Internal Classic" says that anger hurts the liver, and joy hurts the heart. Although I am dead in the eyes of the Arakawa family, I still want to live for two more years." The old man looked disdainful, "Everything in this world They all come from Dayuan, and the 'Clean Eye' of your Wu Yi family can only be activated by transforming vitality into magic power, as I said, I have tried every method to remove the curse."

"In other words, Nozomi Arakawa can still remain normal because his blood has been sealed?"

"Exactly."

"Then if you haven't taught him and he hasn't awakened his own ability, then it doesn't make sense." Wu Yifan frowned.

"what happened?"

"It is said that Nozomi Arakawa's sword skills are very good. His parents are ordinary working-class people, and you pretended to be dead when he was a child and left the secular world. Where did he learn his sword skills?" Wu Yishan said, "Yi Weaving she found a witch who was transformed by a vampire in Sensoji Temple. Originally, she was going to deal with that vampire by herself, but at that time she met your grandson, and she noticed the connection between vampire and vampire through her "clean eyes". Both ends of the thread between the ghouls are broken, which means that the vampire is dead, and Nozomi Arakawa just rushed to Sensoji Temple at that time, and it should be to deal with the transformed witch."

"Perhaps Xiaowang went to some kendo society to learn?" The old man looked indifferent.

"Don't be kidding, you know, it's impossible for ordinary people to defeat vampires. Besides, you have another question that needs to be explained."

"I'm listening."

"According to Yizhi, your grandson is holding an ancient sword in his hand. It is a sword that should have been cast in the Heian period. According to Yizhi's description, I always feel that I have seen it in some ancient book. This knife..."

"I don't know about that." The old man shook his head. "I never taught him any sword skills, nor did I entrust him with any weapons. His life trajectory should be to grow up peacefully like a normal person and then die."

Wu Yishan was silent, he knew that the old man was not good at lying, and there was no need for him to lie on this matter.

"However, if Xiaowang's child is really useful, it's not impossible to let him join the Exorcist Association." The old man continued.

"Is that all right?"

"It's nothing good or bad. You were the one who proposed to borrow the power of the Arakawa family. Now I agree. As long as he is still useful, what's the point of making him a weapon?" The old man said, getting up and going back to the room, "Do you think Am I indifferent?"

Wu Yifan was stunned: "It's okay, you have always been like this, it's better than what I do. Exorcism is not the mission of us exorcists, but because we have this power, we go Exorcism. Just like when I was young, I saw those libertines bullying innocent girls, and I always wanted to save them, but at that time I didn’t have the strength, and I would be beaten black and blue when I went up. When those libertines are about to be killed by demons, they can't sit idly by."

"What do you want to say, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility?"

"No, in fact, what I want to express is that the greater the power, the greater the destructive power." Wu Yi stood up and shook the ashes on his buttocks. It was also resolved.”

　I'm sorry that there may not be a third update today, because I want to sort out the following thoughts. Several clues are entangled and easy to get knotted... The one that is in arrears will be made up in the next few days.
