Chapter 40: The Cave Changes
A secret passage underneath the "Shrine Maiden Mechanism". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Walking on the passage paved with ancient trees, the faint woody fragrance and a smell called 'decay' hit everyone's face with the cool breeze, looking at the bottomless passage, the secluded cave mouth is like a giant beast's open mouth makes people uneasy, although the rock wall is inserted with oilwood torches for lighting, everyone does not feel a little warmth but a chill in their hearts under the light of the fire.
Walking in the forefront, leading the shrine maidens, Natori was silent.
In the face of this familiar place, even if she has been here countless times, she is still not used to this kind of hellish cold breath, in the deepest part of the cave is to be 'sacrificed' of the 'god', is to support the existence of this continent with his body, and it is also the existence of constantly burying everyone, his own master, the previous witch was also devoured by it after passing the sacrificial position to herself.
I don't feel unacceptable to this name, although I feel compassion but I take it for granted, this is everyone's fate, isn't it just for this moment that everyone has worked hard until now?
endured the disgusting intimacy with the man he didn't know, trained the skills of pleasing day after day, and completely left his life behind, in order to use his life to protect this continent at this moment.
Natori doesn't regret this, if it weren't for the peculiarity of his body, I'm afraid he would have followed his predecessors by now......
The firelight is swaying, and there is constantly a cool air coming from the depths of the passage, and the shadows of everyone are printed upside down on the stone wall, reflecting each other like ghosts, as the sleeping place of the Yaki Orochi, although it is only the breath, it is not an ordinary ghost that dares to approach, so there is no one else here except Natori and their group.
"Pap-"
The crisp sound of the clogs stepping on the passage continued to echo in the hole, and the shrine maiden who was the 'sacrifice' followed closely behind Natori without saying a word, and her appearance was not outstanding, and if you want to summarize it, it looks like there is a feeling of a small jasper, which makes people can't help but want to love her, if she is placed in a peaceful era, she will definitely be able to become a virtuous and wise wife, and spend an ordinary but fulfilling life with the person she loves, but in this era her fate is just as a 'sacrifice'......
What should have been known has been told in advance, and everyone who joins the 'Shrine Maiden Agency' has been informed of their mission and mission from the beginning, and now it's just a matter of letting it be.
"Pap-pa-pa-squeak-"
This tunnel was born with it since the appearance of the organization of the 'witch agency', and it has a history of three hundred years, and under the passage of time, even the fire needle wood that is known as a thousand years of immortality is a little damaged, and you can clearly feel some unnatural cocking when you walk on it, and now it is more than a step worse than it was when it was corroded by evil energy.
"It seems that it is time to repair it again, and the corrosion of the evil qi will be accelerated again......
Taking all this into his eyes, Natori frowned slightly, it wasn't like this when he came with his master, but he didn't expect it to become like this in just thirty years.
Staring at the ground in front of him, he could see that the mahogany used to fix it had turned into a strange dark red, the spiritual power attached to it was already undetectable, and the rune paper used to eliminate demons and purify spirits had lost its original color, and even spontaneously turned into ashes in order to ensure that it was not eroded by evil energy.
Feeling the changes in the air, sure enough, the evil aura has more than doubled compared to before, if it used to be a pond, then now it is a big playground, even with the protection of spiritual power, the exposed skin still feels bursts of tingling.
Natori is still like this, let alone her.
"Ha-a-ha-!"
Less than halfway through, the witches who followed were already gasping for breath and showing pain on their faces, their meager spiritual power could not resist the erosion of this strange evil qi.
"Here" gradually worsens as the bad feeling progresses, and the intuition of the shrine maiden Natori, who is comparable to the great onmyoji, has always been accurate, "What the hell is going on?" Looking at the deep and dim entrance of the cave, he bowed his hand but stopped.
"Thank you for your hard work, you should go back first today."
"But Natori-sama ......"
He waved his hand again, interrupting them but not saying anything.
"That...... Am I going back too? Natori-sama"
Looking at Yumeko Natori asked timidly, as the protagonist of today, unlike those who accompanied her, it stands to reason that she must not move around at will until she reaches her destination.
With doubts in her eyes and a hint of joy hidden deep in her heart, Yumeko waits for Natori's answer.
No one wants to die, although she has been enlightened, but if she can, she still doesn't want to die, although this world is very cruel, but as long as she can live, she will continue to work hard, and the ants are still stealing life, not to mention people.
Glancing at her, Natori looked thoughtful, although today is the day of the 'sacrifice', but today's appearance is too weird, and the high-grade rune paper that can support for decades is close to failure, coupled with this unusual evil spirit, it can be said that all this movement makes Natori feel deeply uneasy, and he can't help but prepare for the worst, if it is really what he thinks, then there will undoubtedly be a big war here later, leaving them here and sending them to death.
"Well, including you, it's been so hard today, wait for the next notice"
"And what about you, Natori-sama?"
"Me? If I have anything to do, I'll go to Tamachi Fenghua and Himiko if I have anything to do when I'm away."
Sending away Yumeko and them, Natori's face became serious, because of the spiritual power, although she is more than forty, but she still looks the same as twenty years old, she looks so graceful and charming, but it has a different taste under recognition.
The loose white sacrificial robe could not hide the graceful figure, the long light blue hair was scattered to the hips, and a few unused blank spirit talismans were taken out from the sleeve hands.
"Those who are fighting in the army, they are all lined up in front, the heavens and the world are subdued, and the ghosts and ghosts are revealed!"
Scatter it in front of you at will, the spirit runes are automatically arranged in mid-air, and the hands are constantly playing prosperous handprints, and the pure white spiritual power is engraved on it with wonderful runes, and the rune paper you want will be made after a while.
As the leader of the 'Shrine Maiden Agency', she has the same strength as the leader of the 'Tianzhi Sect', and if it is according to the rating of the reincarnation world, the current serious state of Natori has a strength close to the sixth order, and the power of the spirit runes produced is naturally not small.
