Chapter 9: Asama's Questions and Answers
After saying hello to Kamishirasawa Huiyin in the morning, I came to the foot of the Yokai Mountain, where the miracle of the adult was here, and I might be looking forward to meeting her.
Yokai Mountain, as the name suggests, is a place where youkai gather, and this was a gathering place for tengu and kappa a a long time ago, both of which are quite xenophobic races, and when you go to the places marked on the map, you will pass by the foot of the mountain, hoping not to run into them.
Walking up the mountain road, I followed the map to a deep valley covered in dense forests, where people are inaccessible, and you can see the footprints of monsters on the rocks, and on the way I chased away a little monster who wanted to steal my things, and its expression was indeed a little hideous.
The mountain gathers and wants to be with a lot of monsters.,From this point of view,The mountain of monsters is not a place for ordinary people to come.,I heard a month ago that someone went to the underworld to catch ghosts.,The local residents of the world are really not ordinary rough nerves for monsters.。
After passing through the covered forest, the scenery suddenly opened up before me, and an ancient torii gate appeared in front of me, its scale was simpler than the poor Hakurei Shrine, this torii gate occupies only one square meter of area on the hill high in the valley, symbolically demarcating the realm of the gods, surrounded by towering forests, and the rest of the buildings are devoid.
Walk through the bushes to the entrance below the shrine, where the pond is not yet covered by tree branches, and the mountain spring that leads it to the pond keeps it fresh and alive.
Scooping a ladle of water to wash away the filth from your hands and using the flame of an immortal bird to wash away the remaining droplets of water are the processes to show respect before visiting the shrine so that you don't bring impurities to the shrine.
Although purification is not a mandatory requirement, many large shrines will have such a pool, called the Sailor House, only the Yokai Shrine of Hakurei Shrine does not have this kind of exquisiteness, and the shrine maiden has completely given up on this, and the shrine maiden who retreats from the yokai is forced to this step by the monsters, which is very ridiculous.
Standing in front of the torii, I didn't throw a cash box because there was no one in front of the shrine, but I had already seen the rope around the torii, and the area around the rope had formed a non-knowing god, and the prayers here could already be heard by the gods.
I clapped my hands twice, bowed, and prayed to her.
After a long time, there was no figure of her in the shrine, and not even a little miracle power appeared, I was a little disappointed, it seems that she is indeed not here, and it is normal that the gods are not in the shrine.
Since Kihana Saki wasn't here, I wasn't going to linger, but when I turned around, the tree behind me spoke.
"Why are you here? ”
"You're Sakiyahime?"
I turned around and looked at the tree in amazement, and although I had asked, I had actually guessed her identity. Although I've been in Gensokyo for so many years, there aren't many people who can recognize me, especially in this barren mountain range.
"Didn't you expect me to show up?"
"Then why don't you show your true colors?"
"I'm so embarrassed by what you're asking, I'm thinking about whether or not to see you. ”
"I do want to know about this matter, another human has encountered it, and the resentful person will not be so lightly entangled with ordinary people. ”
"Is he an ordinary person?"
"You know something. ”
"Okay, okay, I know about it, but why should I sue you?" said Sakiyahime's voice from the ancient tree.
"Because you owe me. ”
Sakiyehime was silent, and the Asama branch hidden in the mountains was so quiet that there was no sound.
"What do you want to ask?" Kihana Saki's illusory figure appeared in front of the torii gate and gradually solidified.
Her appearance has not changed from a thousand years ago, and her divine posture is still high and high.
"I want to ask if this resentful monster appeared there by accident, and if it has anything to do with you. ”
"It's not an accident, but it's not my business, I can only say that it has something to do with me. ”
"I would like to know the specifics. ”
Kihanasaki sat in front of the torii, regardless of whether her luxurious clothes would get dusty.
"The origin of that human being is not trivial. ”
Instead of answering Mei Hong's question, Saki Yaki brought the topic to Fujiwara Ki.
"He, he's Fujiwara, his surname is the single word vine, if he has any great identity, he only belongs to the Xixing Temple family of the underworld, and is called the gardener of the underworld, is this counted?"
"The Xixing Temple family, is it the murderer who caused the continuous heavy snow?"
"Yes. ”
"No wonder there are so many causes and effects, before being sealed, those who had a relationship with that demon tree did not end well, so it makes sense. ”
"Can you not talk to yourself? I want to get an answer from you. ”
"Well, well, it's karma, if it hadn't been for those things, I wouldn't be here. ”
"It is true that the resentful monster was once controlled by me, but after that incident with you, I have destroyed its wisdom, but its concept still exists. ”
"Is it a tool again?
"It's a must, and I'm not doing it purely for myself. ”
I looked at her with a mocking gaze, and the other party faced me without guilt.
"She's a god?"
"Hizu Ayajin. ”
"It's her!"
The truth finally came out, and committing such evil deeds in the world made people panic in the world.
"Are all those monster corpses her conspiracy lately?"
Kihanasaki Yahime stood up: "No, it's me. ”
The answer was the exact opposite, I couldn't believe that this noble god would surrender himself to do such a thing, and the contrast was so great that I wanted to say it in my throat.
Finally I asked, "Why are you doing this?"
"Didn't you ask about the whereabouts of that resentful monster, it was borrowed by my friend many years ago to get rid of the evil grudge and gain faith, and she had tried so hard for her own survival, but even then it disappeared, which I could not accept. ”
"Horror stories that have been circulating in the world lately. ”
Saki Yaji sneered and said, "Just because it's not an orthodox desolate soul, is it a god of calamity?"
"But didn't you do something to keep that god blind?"
"No, I'm saving her, and since it's for the sake of humanity, but can't be accepted by Grateful Dade, let them remember her existence in fear. ”
"You're challenging Gensokyo's rules!"
The idea of this god is so extreme, because the gathering of beliefs will also have a certain impact on the character of the god, and impure and disrespectful faith will only create a god with a distorted personality, especially at the beginning of the birth of the god.
Kihana Saki's plan is to use this fear to resurrect Hizu Ayajin, but this will only resurrect the remnant god who inherited her negative feelings, and then it will be a disaster in the world.
