On the road, the convoy drove at a moderate pace.
In the car, Sakako introduced the situation of the Rimi Gakuin to Pei Zi Yun.
The Rimi Gakuin was not in Tokyo, but in Hakone.
Hakone was located in the southwest of Kanagawa Prefecture, 90 kilometers away from Tokyo. It was surrounded by green peaks and streams. From afar, one could see the snow-capped peak of Mount Fuji. Up close, one could see the cherry blossoms on the trees. There was an endless stream of tourists. It was a hot spring town in Japan and a health resort. Many aristocratic families built their gakuin there.
Sakako said in a serious tone, "Yamada Shoto! The Rimi Gakuin is located at Lushan Lake. It is 45 meters deep and is surrounded by white smoke all day long. In the past, the Shinagawa shogunate set up a checkpoint here. The sake inside is very special and is quite famous in this area. If you are interested, you can try it! "
This kind of sake was made with exquisite craftsmanship. It was made from the famous Shoto Palace water. The color was clear, soft and refreshing, and it had a unique aroma. The alcohol content was about 16%. People who were nostalgic would want to taste it.
"Although the Rimi Gakuin is built in a very good place, it is not a good place. You must be careful!" Sakako said very seriously. She was a responsible person. Since she had become Yamada Shinji's assistant, she would complete it seriously and fulfill her duties.
Sakako saw that Pei Zi Yun was serious but not nervous. She was slightly disappointed and a little impressed. She had put in a lot of effort to collect information, but she felt that she was not very valued. She was a little disappointed.
But her keen intuition detected Pei Zi Yun's indescribable confidence. She thought again, wasn't this what she had been dreaming of?
She had been groomed since young to serve the samurai in the future. In the past, she did not know how many times she had imagined what a samurai would be like. The man in front of her, although young, had the soul of a samurai.
What was there to be dissatisfied with now?
Thus, she continued, "The Rimi Club. Back then, the Rimi family was originally granted a bounty of thirty-three thousand stones. In order to secure the family business, the son of the first wife married the daughter of an important minister, Tanagawa Daichi. However, things were unpredictable. Tanagawa Daichi lost power, and the Rimi family was implicated. Their bounty was reduced to four thousand stones for the crime of altering the city without permission."
"Tanagawa Yamato's daughter, Tanagawa Kaori, also known as Rimi Kaori, was forced to commit suicide. Her henchmen died with her, and the Rimi Dojo became the Evil Dojo."
Sakako Sanako recalled the information she had read in the Makawa Shrine's information room.
"According to the information obtained by our Makawa Shrine, in recent years, there have been more than a dozen vicious incidents related to the Rimi-dojo, the most serious of which was the murder of Ihara Masahiro."
The Three Thousand Sons of Sakakami were still a little frightened as they recalled the contents.
A welfare home for the disabled was attacked by a knife-wielding man. The incident resulted in the deaths of 19 people. The Japanese National Police Agency claimed that this was the largest murder case in Japan in the past 100 years. What was even more shocking was that the cause of death was that all the victims had their throats and hearts slit. Their deaths were extremely tragic. At that time, the entire society was shocked! "
"According to the information provided by the Metropolitan Police Department, the course of events was as follows: Ihara Masako first wrote a letter to announce the battle plan, then broke into the orphanage with a weapon in hand, and tied up the orphanage staff who came to stop him. Then, he went from room to room with a knife. After that, he turned himself in to the Metropolitan Police Department. "
"But according to the information from our Makawa Shrine, this vicious incident has a very close relationship with the Rimi-dojo."
"Ihara Masako would usually greet his neighbors, and his personality was relatively cheerful. He would often invite some friends to his house for gatherings. In the eyes of others, he was a good young man. But ever since Ihara Masako went to work in the Rimi-dojo, his personality changed drastically. He became moody and aggressive. Therefore, the Makawa Shrine suspected that he was possessed by the evil spirits of the Rimi-dojo, similar to the previous Ishiro Ferryman. "
"In addition, there are other incidents that all show that the Rimi-dojo has a deep relationship with the evil spirits. Even the Makawa Shrine has reason to believe that the Rimi-dojo has the ability to control the evil spirits." Sakako Sanako said, "Unfortunately, we haven't found out who is related to the Rimi-dojo."
Pei Zi Yun frowned and asked, "Can't the Rimi-dojo be closed down?"
"They wanted to close it down and demolish it, but it happened again and again, and the impact was great. Most importantly, the Rimi-dojo sent out Rimi-dojo posters, and many officials and rich people joined. It is said that they all benefited from it. Their power cannot be underestimated."
"In addition, it is said that the Rimi-dojo is connected to the depths of the Yellow Springs. Although the Rimi-dojo is a dojo of evil spirits, it is also a dojo of suppression. Therefore, it has been preserved."
"Now, it has become a duel ground."
Tokyo to Hakone, if it was a sedan, could be reached in slightly more than an hour. As Sakako Sanako explained the situation of the Rimi-dojo to Pei Zi Yun, the convoy was gradually approaching their destination.
At this moment, Pei Zi Yun suddenly felt his body shake. He looked into the distance, as if some kind of force was attracting him.
What was going on?
Could it be related to the Rimi-dojo?
Pei Zi Yun was very surprised and asked, "Are we already at the Rimi-dojo?"
Sakako Sanako paused and said, "Let me take a look. Hmm, we haven't arrived yet, but we are not far away. What's wrong? Yamada Chi, why are you suddenly asking this question? What's the matter? "
Sakako Sanako asked curiously.
"Nothing much, I'm just a little curious about where the Rimi-dojo is." Pei Zi Yun smiled and explained casually.
But as the convoy drove, the force of attraction became stronger and stronger, and the resonance seemed to gradually strengthen.
"The duel stick in my bosom is heating up." Pei Zi Yun understood a little. This force was indeed related to the Rimi-dojo. Could this attraction be the so-called cause and effect?
Very soon, the convoy turned into a mountain road and arrived at a place. Sakako Sanako quickly came out and opened the door for Pei Zi Yun. She crossed her hands over her abdomen and bowed deeply to Pei Zi Yun, "Yamada Chi, you must do your best. You must come back alive!"
Pei Zi Yun looked at Sakako Sanako's nervous expression and said, "Didn't you ask me not to kill?"
"Ah! Yamada Chi, this is different. The Rimi-dojo is a place for duels. Whoever enters will fight to the death. " Sakako Sanako lowered her face, "You can only come out after killing the enemy. Please don't be lenient, please."
"Don't worry, Sakako, no problem! I will definitely come back alive. You will be able to see me tomorrow! "As he finished, Pei Zi Yun patted Sakako Sanako's hand.
Sakako Sanako looked at Pei Zi Yun suddenly placing his hand on hers and was stunned for a moment. She wanted to use her hand to pull it away, but she resisted and bowed even more deeply.
Pei Zi Yun got out of the carriage and waved to Sakako Sanako before turning around and walking up.
The Rimi-dojo looked like an apartment from the outside. It was mostly grey and white, and the surrounding environment was a little strange. The trees were very lush, and the color was dark green. There was only a small path from the front of the Rimi-dojo to the side of the road. There was no grass on it, and it was surrounded by dense shrubs and weeds.
If it was night time, walking on it would make one shudder. Even if it was daytime, ordinary people would feel a chill when they walked on it.
Pei Zi Yun walked over and knocked on the door of the Rimi-dojo, but there was no response. It seemed like there was no one here.
After a while, a maid came out. Her face was snow-white, and she was dressed in a light-colored maid uniform. She respectfully asked Pei Zi Yun, "This is Rimi-dojo. May I know who you are? What can I do for you? "
When Pei Zi Yun heard this, he felt that she did not know anything.
Pei Zi Yun took out the invitation from his bosom. This invitation was given to him by Tomoshi Ohka of the Uchiyama Group.
The maid looked at the invitation and hurriedly bowed and said, "So it's a guest. Please come in, please follow me."
She politely invited Pei Zi Yun in. They passed through the courtyard, passed a few slopes, and came to a high place. Looking around, he could see hills, forests, shrubs, clear springs, and ancient pavilions.
He continued along the quiet stone path. On the west side of the garden was a guest room. Along the way, he passed by a pond and an ancient tower. It looked very big, but did not seem to have many people. Finally, he arrived at an elegant room.
"Hello, please come in!" The maid bowed. Pei Zi Yun took off his shoes and entered the room. The maid immediately bent down to tidy up his shoes and asked, "What would you like to order?"
"I'd like some sushi, Amaterasu, and roasted meat. I don't need alcohol as a beverage, just some tea!" Pei Zi Yun said naturally as he looked around. The decorations were very elegant. The walls were covered with paintings, and there was a table in the middle of the room, with lantern-shaped lights.
The painting was very strange. It was of a woman, a child, a young girl, a married woman, a middle-aged man, and an old man.
'This painting depicts the horror and sorrow of aging. When they were young, they were very beautiful. However, as they aged, they lost their youthfulness, especially in old age. Their faces were full of wrinkles, and their skin was sagging, losing its elasticity and luster.'
'Hanging it here, it really does look like a haunted house.' Pei Zi Yun thought to himself, but did not make a sound as he sat down.
"Hai, I'll get it done now." The maid bowed again and left. Walking along the corridor, it was strange. It was almost dusk, but after walking a few steps, the surroundings turned dark, as though the sun had set. The furnishings in the room seemed very new, but the style was very old. A thick fog seeped in.
The maid was stunned, like a wooden doll. After a long time, she turned around and walked along the corridor. She saw a faint light coming from the gaps of the paper door.
As soon as the maid approached, the door opened. The light coming from the door was from a candle.
The room was about twenty tatami mats wide. There was an altar in the wall, on which there were coins and scrolls with incantations. The candles flickered, and there was a musty and fragrant smell in the air. A woman was kneeling in the middle of the room.
"Ji Zhuo … the guest is here." The maid said in a daze.
Hearing the maid's voice, the woman slowly raised her head. The faint red light from the candle shone on her face. It was an extremely old face, full of age spots. She said slowly, "Ah, there's a guest? You have to take good care of them! "
"Every guest is important to us."
"Hai, I understand." The maid bowed deeply. Just as she bowed, the last ray of sunlight disappeared. Following which, the face on the mirror changed rapidly.
The old woman's height shrank, and her skin became smooth and tender. She looked like a seven or eight year old Luo Li.
