40 – Rumors and Ghost Stories

A ghost story circulated.

A very small, insignificant ghost story.

Like a typhoon in a teacup, an urban ghost story that will become a hot topic for a very short time and then disappear.

But the story continues to spread and those who know will know it.

Someone said, damned if you don’t spread this story.

『It is said that Kudan was born from a cow raised by a certain rich man. 』

As soon as Kudan was born, he gasped for breath and spoke a prophecy, saying that a great disaster would soon befall Kagoshima Prefecture. 』

Someone said, this story is true.

『I live in Kyushu, but we also heard rumors that Kudan was born. As soon as I was born, there was nothing else to say, just that everyone had to work together to prevent a disaster, but I think he was paired with Kudan, who was born in Kagoshima Prefecture. 』

Someone said that this story was just to cover up a scandal in the political world.

『 These days, scandals are constantly erupting in politics. It’s normal to be caught hanging out with a lady in a kyabakura every day, and there are rumors that they had an orgy party at the villa. 』

The story of celebrity s*xual entertainment is also circulating secretly. I heard they called AV actors to hotels and invited announcers to orgies? 』

『I heard that famous talents get together as a social gathering and enjoy a crazy party? 』

Someone said that strange things seem to be happening lately.

『When I was young, I went to Fushimi Inari Shrine and saw a fox and got spiritual powers. After that, I was able to see Byakko-san from time to time. Byakko-san is a fox with white fur, and his fur is as soft and shiny as if it had been shampooed and rinsed. And sometimes it shows up, then turns transparent and then disappears. It’s so cute. 』

『So, even in the midst of my hard work life, it was my daily routine to stop by the shrine and see Byakko-san. Byakko-san is cute, and seeing cute things gives me strength. 』

『But these days, Byakko statues are different from usual. It seems to move as if something is being chased, and it moves busily as if it is searching for something. Even if I talk to them because they want to know what’s going on, they don’t answer and ignore me. Could it be that Inari-god had an urgent errand? 』

Let someone say

『What the hell is going to happen to Japan? 』

Every country has famous prophets.

In France, the prophet called Michel de Nostredame, whose Latin name is Nostradamus, is famous. It is said that Nostradamus knew the secrets of the world by making a contract with a transcendental species that had not been recorded, and that he obtained a magical tool that allowed him to glimpse into the future.

In Korea, a prophet called Doseon (道詵) was famous. This prophet was talented at reading the earth’s energy and was said to have seen the geography of feng shui amazingly well. Say It is said that Doseon gained this power through repeated training and seeking, and this power was so great that he was able to predict the rise and fall of the country and even the existence of a new king.

So, who is Japan’s most famous prophet? <Br>

Prince Shotoku, famous for his magical powers?

Houichi without ears who hid prophecies in songs?

Of course, both are famous.

But what was really famous was the nameless monk.

It is said that an anonymous high priest in the Heian period obtained magical powers by undergoing asceticism over and over again. This high priest, who is said to have been able to read the reason of the sky and the spirit of the sky as a dream through his supernatural power, wrote down his dream in detail and made it into a book. Then, fearing that it would be destroyed for the reason of the people of the world, he hid it in a temple so that it could be found only after a long time.

In the book written by this high priest, Future Poems in Dreams (夢中未来視), there are many dreams recorded, the most famous of which is the story of the sun.

“I had a dream that we would get together. In the dream, there were all sorts of grief and cries, the world was covered with darkness, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was sighing in pity. It was a truly terrible sight. At that time, a bright light like the sun spread from the sky and illuminated the whole world, and the hot streams of fire from that light spread in all directions and were very splendid. 」

“In this splendor, all the evils disappeared, the world was purified, and everyone smiled, so even the Jijang was satisfied. The light spread and spread, finally becoming a white light and erasing everything, truly like a long dream. 」

People who saw the phrase “Brilliant Gilmong” Made a flag based on it, which later became the rising sun flag symbolizing the Japanese Empire. The people of the Japanese Empire raised this flag, invaded many countries, and enjoyed prosperity, so the monk’s prophecy came true.

And at the end of it, the United States dragged bombers and dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to make the sun on the ground, which was also true to the priest’s prophecy.

Not only this.

“I had a dream that we would get together. According to the dream, a golden wind blew from across the sea and enveloped the world, and its light shone all over the land, making houses grow taller. Its appearance was like a bamboo made of stone, and it grew in a square shape as if it were going to pierce the sky. However, as it grew and the wind died down, the gold scattered like dust and settled to the floor, and people bent over and grew old in an instant. 」

Japan’s bubble economy was also predicted.

“I had a dream that we would get together. There was a white mirage floating in the sky, and the shape was so terrible and ugly that I couldn’t bear to forget it. Shaped like a hungry ghost screaming out loud, they roamed the whole world as if white cotton fabric were flying on the wind, and their appearance was like a flock of birds. The cotton cloth landed on the ground along with a lightning bolt and was covered with all sorts of things. When it was put on an animal, the animal walked on two legs and bit people, and when it was put on an object, it became a tsukumogami (付喪神) and became a monster that harmed people. 」

“It is so terrifying and wicked that it is so strange to see that it has been riotous and riotous all night. When they counted, the number reached one hundred, and the group scattered and grew in size, and there were three gigantic monsters. 」

He also predicted the phenomenon of the Hundred Ghost Nights (百鬼夜行), which terrified all of Japan. In addition, it predicted the appearance of the three great evil spirits that appeared after the first Hundred Ghost Night Trips, so it can’t be said that it was truly magical.

However, this supernatural power came as a curse.

It was a prophecy of doom.

“I had a dream that we would get together. The dream was so bizarre that it shook my mind, so I vomited as soon as I woke up from the horror. 」

“Large in the countryAn altar was built and all kinds of offerings were raised and smoked. The smoke was like a snake, shining in various colors and wriggling as it flew through the sky, and at first glance it looked like a dragon. However, instead of being auspicious, its body was made of hideous and repulsive creatures forming a group, so it seemed clear that if it landed, it would be a great disaster. 」

“The flames that burned on the altar took the form of all kinds of tails, spread all over the country, and permeated the ground. It looked like a fox digging a hole and hiding, like a fox tearing off its tail and driving a stake into the ground. 」

“Smoke flew through the sky, pulled out its tail, cut it into pieces with embers and scattered them all over the world, and all the people clinging to the embers and burning them slowly lit up the world, and it was truly grotesque. 」

“Darkness descended upon the world, and the fires that people embraced were like embers that hadn’t been extinguished. Their bodies were rich and wealthy, and when they looked at the world through the eyes of the stars, their appearance was like burnt charcoal. This is a sure nightmare. Am. 」

A dream that prophesies that an altar will be built and something terrible will happen.

If someone else had said it, it could have been passed off as just a dream, but it was a dream of a nameless high priest who fulfilled all prophecies, so it was a premonition of destruction that could not be ignored.

In order to escape from this terrible ruin, Japan’s talented people have come up with a number of countermeasures.

I received the help of the transcendental species, the help of the contractor, and the help of all kinds of geniuses.

The country invested its wealth and did not miss the eyes of the watchers.

The fence was built through successive generations and through the years.

It was tightly and thoroughly woven so that cruel wolves could not enter the land of Japan.

The huge fence made like that seemed perfect.

Perfect.

It is complete in itself, nothing more or less.

Nothing more.

There is nothing less.

“It’s so good!”

Jinseong smiled as he looked at the two men who came to him.

The two men had sunken eyes and slender faces, but unlike their faces that seemed to have been drained of energy, they had strong muscles that were not suitable for their age.

“Somehow, it seems like you liked the energy you got instead of the medicinal effect.”

The two of them were paying utmost respect to Jinseong, just like those paying respect to an ancient shaman.

Happiness was on the faces of the two, and satisfaction was on Jinseong’s face as well.

The look was really good.
