I’m Really Unnerved In Tokyo

Chapter 494 Curse of the Tokugawa Family

"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. The 'Yin-Yang Tai Chi Formation' has suppressed the luck of the Tokugawa family, and there is naturally a price that must be paid."

"For this place, both the Yin Yang Liao and the Spirit Eliminators Association are doing routine 'cleaning'. However, due to the continuous accumulation of resentment, the spirits here have a very high probability of becoming resentful spirits. This is the same as natural climate change. It cannot be changed from the root.”

While talking, the two of them came to a wooden sign that read "Picture in the case of Hushan Park".

"So, this is still the place where we have the best chance of encountering spirit bodies. Probably because of this reason, Sister Hanyu suggested that we start our investigation from here..."

On the wooden sign, the terrain of the entire Toshan Park is very strange, like a huge deformed frog.

"Toyama Park is divided into east and west areas. The 'West Toyama Park' we are currently in is actually a relatively 'clean' place because of its flat terrain and proximity to many popular universities and business circles."

Yuma Yuma's onion-like slender fingers rested on the "frog"'s back, a round area like a tumor.

"The area with the most resentment is the man-made rockery and garden built by the Owari Tokugawa family who spent a lot of money and property to imitate the hot spring resort Hakone Mountain in Kanagawa Prefecture. It is also named 'Hakone Mountain'. The former site of the army facility mentioned before, Almost all on that mountain…”

Starting from the wooden sign with the map printed on it, the two passed several roads and walked along a small road for about ten minutes before arriving at the entrance of "Higashitoyama Park".

"Man-made Mt. Hakone... The Tokugawa family is rich. How can such a big mountain be man-made?"

Standing at the foot of the mountain, looking at the "Hakone Mountain" in front of him, Sosuke Araki couldn't help sighing that "the wine and meat of the Zhumen stink, and the road is frozen to death".

Hakone Mountain has lush vegetation and covers a vast area, and the end cannot be seen at a glance in the dark night.

Although for modern people who are used to seeing high-rise buildings, Hakone Mountain in Toyama Park can only be regarded as a small slope from the height.

However, if one understands that it is just an artificial rockery rising from the ground in the backyard of the Tokugawa family’s mansion, one can’t help but be dumbfounded at the financial resources of the Tokugawa family during the heyday.

You know, today, this small hill with an altitude of less than 50 meters is still the highest mountain within the range surrounded by the Yamanote Line in Tokyo...

If we go back to the past, there are no tall buildings around, and standing on the top of the mountain must have the courage to overlook the entire Edo.

This made Sousuke Araki feel how small and pitiful the "rockery, fish pond and sex pool" he had planned in the backyard but had no funds and time to complete.

"Let me see, is this mysterious and mysterious place really so fierce?"

Out of curiosity in his heart, Sousuke Araki lifted a corner of his blindfold and looked at the Hakone Mountains under the night again.

"Oh... The information of the Spirit Eliminators Association is indeed correct, the grievances of the whole Tokyo are surging towards this place..."

In the line of sight of the left eye, between the pitch-black Mount Hakone and a thick "black cloud" on the sky, there is a chain-like slender resentment.

However, for the two people who have experienced the "Gate of Hell" incident, this concentration of resentment can only be regarded as "smog", far from the "sarin hallucinogenic gas" flowing down the Gate of Hell that night. It's still a hundred and eight thousand miles away.

"Sure enough, there are many traces of spiritual body activity. However, I haven't seen anything suspicious for the time being..."

Human, animal, unknown existence...

Dark red, black, gray, white...

Hands, feet, face, buttocks, chest, lower body somewhere...

Starting from the entrance at the foot of the mountain, you can see the colorful and messy traces left by the spirit bodies in the past with various parts of the body.

"The Owari Tokugawa family, the Owari clan that was in charge of governance in the Edo period, that is, the Nagoya area today, has very strong financial resources. However, like the Tokugawa family, they have not been able to escape the 'curse of the Tokugawa family'... "

The two walked up the slope cautiously all the way up the mountain. Kotori Mayumi seemed to be in a good mood, and began to make up for someone with a "history lesson on exorcism" with great interest.

"The curse of the Tokugawa clan? What is that..."

The temperature at night in Tokyo is already extremely low, let alone Mount Hakone, where the most grievances are condensed, but just after entering the foot of the mountain, the two of them felt like they had entered early winter.

Suddenly talking about the topic of "curse" in this environment will only make the chill in the forest even more biting.

"As the ruler, the Tokugawa shogunate set up the 'Three Houses' and even the subsequent 'Three Ministers' because it is said that they were cursed to have their blood cut off."

It seemed that she was very adaptable to this environment, and the girl didn't feel that the "atmosphere was wrong" at all, and she narrated what she knew.

After Oda Nobunaga's death, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who took over his position and unified Japan, gave up before his wish to capture Korea was realized.

On the contrary, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had been dormant for decades and had been a horseman for Nobunaga and Hideyoshi all his life, became Japan's overlord and opened the era of Tokugawa shogunate ruling Japan.

However, during the rule of the fifteen generations of shoguns before and after the Tokugawa shogunate, it is said that they were cursed by the iron blood of Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Within three to four generations, the Tokugawa clan would "cut off their sons and grandchildren", and had to adopt an adopted son from one of the three royal families to inherit the position of general.

When it comes to the curse of the Tokugawa family, there is another rumor among the folks, that is "Yaotou Muramasa".

"Muramasa" is actually not a knife, but a "sword inscription" printed on the body of the knife similar to a trademark.

In Ise Sangna, the Muramasa swordsmith family has been passed down for hundreds of years. The long knives, short knives, and spears produced will all be engraved with the "Murassa" sword inscription.

Due to the high quality and unstoppable weapons produced by the "Muramasa" clan, both daimyo and samurai rushed to collect them.

However, these weapons with "Muramasa" engraved on them have trouble with the Tokugawa clan.

First, Tokugawa Ieyasu's grandfather was stabbed in the back by his retainers when he was fighting with the Oda family, and he used "Muramasa" to pierce through from the right shoulder to the left abdomen.

Then Tokugawa Ieyasu's father was stabbed in the back by one of his own people and chopped off his thigh with "Muramasa".

Then Tokugawa Ieyasu's children committed suicide by cutting open their stomachs with "Muramasa" because of political struggles.

In the end, when Tokugawa Ieyasu was fighting by himself, his finger was cut off by "Muramasa" in his hand.

Tokugawa Ieyasu was convinced that the Muramasa was cursed to kill the Tokugawa family, so he issued an order to abolish the sword, announcing that the wearing of the "demon sword Muramasa" would be banned nationwide from now on, otherwise he would be killed without mercy.

Since then, there have been many rumors in the folk tales that the person who got the village official suddenly went crazy and stabbed people with a knife, so that the "monster knife village official" became famous far and wide.

However, out of hatred for the shogunate, many people with lofty ideals who fell from the curtain and fought against the barbarians competed to be proud of collecting "Cunzheng", which caused prices to drive up and it was hard to find a knife.
