56. Bingwu
Qin Ming cared about the reason for the formation of Feiyuan Demon.
I don’t know how long it will last when I see the monster’s state. Although I can protect myself by turning a blind eye, I also need to have more trump cards.
Finding a way to figure out the causes of monsters and the relationship between monsters and legends can make you feel more at ease.
"You assassinate John three times and four times, which indirectly led to his death. There are thieves like you under the shogunate rule!"
Matsuhira Yoshiba looked at Nagakura Shinba and the four thieves who respected the king and expelled the barbarians, even if they were arrested, they still dared to say beautiful and magnificent words.
Nagakura Shinhata remained silent, Ichikawa and the other two were dizzy, John was dead? How did he die?
We came yesterday and were stopped by Onmyoji and his younger brothers. Today, we were pointed at the gun as soon as we got close, and did nothing. Why did the person die?
"Sir Songping, execute them." Harris said in disgust.
"Execution..." Matsuhei Rongbao had no choice for a moment. The samurai who left the vassal state was also a samurai. Even if he captured it or even participated in the valor of the king and expelled the barbarians, he could only temporarily be imprisoned and wait for the handling of the vassal state.
Assassination of the British, the shogunate could cross the vassal states and deal with them directly.
But now this matter cannot be exposed. Whether it is the shogunate or the embassy, it must be covered up to avoid damaging the relations between the two countries.
Qin Ming originally thought it didn't matter, but now everyone has accepted the facts he made up. Whatever he dealt with in the future has nothing to do with him.
But the unjust souls floating on these people look a little terrifying.
"Sir Songping, what major cases have been there recently?" Qin Ming asked.
"Uh..." Matsuhira Tomosaki was stunned and replied subconsciously: "Mitsubishi House was robbed and two guys died."
Qin Ming was also stunned. It was Mitsubishiya again? Iwasaki Yataro's unlucky misfortune, was there something involved?
Immediately, he returned to his usual semen: "Check them, under the name of honoring the king and expelling the barbarians, they were not doing anything to burn, kill, and looting, but they were not done by warriors."
"Okay." Matsuhei Rongbao had no doubts at all. Qin Ming said that there was, then these people would definitely not be able to escape. Now, there is also the name of being punished.
On the contrary, Nagakura Shinhachi and Ichikawa looked at the other two in disbelief.
The two of them simply said: "Where do you think the activity funding comes from?"
"But there is no need to ask about the assassination of the minister. If you ask this kind of serious crime, you won't tell it. Instead, it will be easy for more people to know the truth. If you miss it, it will be a bad thing."
Qin Ming applied a patch to himself, and the matter outside was solved, and now he has to go back to the house.
Afu and Feiyuan Demon.
Qin Ming spoke slowly: "Ms. Afu, I heard that you were born in Bingwu, are you?"
"Ah..." Ah Fu was a little panicked: "Yes..."
"Bingwu Nian?" Matsuhira Rongbao, who had just walked into the house, took a step outside the house.
Qin Ming said: "It is said that women born in the year of Bingwu are evil people who eat men."
"John..." Harris also distantly.
The further away these people are, the closer Feiyuan Demon is to Qin Ming.
I have to say that Feiyuan Mo is indeed the most beautiful monster he has seen recently. Apart from walking, he is a completely beautiful woman.
Unlike the young girl like Izuma Masato, she is mature and charming, and she is extremely attractive, and she has no bird's beak.
After all, it is a monster that seduces men to absorb blood and is naturally very beautiful in the legend.
Qin Ming discovered some clues. From a distance, Feiyuan Mo and Afu looked similar, but at close range, you can find the details differently. For example, Feiyuan Mo had an extra beauty mole on his face than Afu, and his nose bridge was also higher and higher.
There are more doubts.
Qin Ming took two steps in front and was close to Feiyuan Mo. In fact, if he didn't look at his lower body, he could hardly find that he was a monster. He would not take advantage of this.
Of course, he still looked at Afu without seeing it: "It's a pity that this superstitious legend has been widely circulated."
Afu nodded: "In the village where I was born, everyone says so..."
"It's not completely unfounded." Qin Ming felt a suffocation and speeded up his speech: "If the ten heavenly stems and the twelve earthly branches are combined, sixty combinations can be combined. Using sixty combinations as a cycle, it is a calendar."
"Whether it is a formal or shoddy calendar, this combination of stems and branches can be seen on it."
"Generally speaking, this is the job of Onmyoji. Onmyoji is responsible for the calculation of calendars. Often, there are serious predictions on the books of astrology and divination. What kind of stems and branches will be like this year? Will there be a bumper harvest or many disasters."
"The theory of the Five Elements: Heaven and Earth are divided into metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Among the heavenly stems, Bing is the brother of fire, and among the earthly branches, Wu is the south, and the south is the position of fire."
"Fire and fire overlap, and the year of Bingwu is a year of frequent fires."
"According to this, the year of the Mingli fire should be Bingwu, but unfortunately it was not."
"There are many fires this year, and a while ago there were fires covering a small scale of half of Edo, but unfortunately this year is not the year of Bingwu."
Qin Ming smiled and said, "But it seems that women born in Bingwu will be born into a woman who will eat the man and kill her husband, and it will become nonsense."
Feiyuanmo no longer approached him, and everyone no longer looked at Afu with strange eyes.
Qin Ming continued: "As for why Bingwu is related to this legend, it should be the pronunciation."
"Pronunciation?" Harris asked, and he suddenly became interested in these legends in Japan.
Qin Ming explained: "In Japanese, Bingwu is pronounced as Fire Horse. If a horse encounters fire, it will be crazy, and if a horse is crazy, it will hurt people. Therefore, some people infer that women born in the year of Bingwu have strong personalities and may have a decisive act of killing their husbands."
"this..."
Even the dragon horse, who had always believed in the world, was stunned.
Isn’t such inference nonsense?
If we infer from the yin and yang and the five elements, like Qin Ming, Bingwu year is a year of frequent fires, it is still somewhat credible. If we follow the pronunciation, we can make the inference that the woman is unknown and the husband is cured, which is too outrageous.
Qin Ming suddenly looked solemn, and the preparation was laid. Next, he wanted to verify something: "I dare to ask Ms. Afu, when was she born?"
"Year of Bingwu..." Afu subconsciously answered the year that cursed her whole life.
Qin Ming shook his head: "Ms. Afu should have been born during the Tianbao period, right?"
"That should be Tianbao...seven years."
Afu recalled a little. When it comes to the date of birth, he would definitely answer the year number of that year, but she was different. As soon as she was born, she was named as an unknown person born in the year of Bingwu.
Qin Ming calculated silently in his heart and said a fact without expression:
"The seventh year of Tianbao is 1836."
"I'm sorry, the most recent year of Bingwu was in 1846, that is, the third year of Honghua."
"It's a full ten years apart."
Qin Ming secretly observed Feiyuanmo and Afu.
This is interesting. Feiyuan Demon comes from a woman born in the "Bingwu Year", but Afu was not born in the real Bingwu Year.
