Chapter 297: Keep Going
In fact, in addition to the breathing method used by the dynasty just now, which seemed to be taking advantage, there are several other methods that can be used.
For example, the altar method that needs to be placed on the altar.
It requires a combination of great mana and secret methods.
A universal resurrection method that requires the support of specific items.
and some special resurrection methods that need to be determined according to different circumstances.
But either way, it's very out of place for the current dynasty. As for the reason? Without him, there is nothing. What's more, he doesn't know some soul restoration methods at all, so combined with the current situation, the dynasty can only choose this easiest way.
"Miss Mihua! Miss Mihua ...... "Immediately, Fang Xili, who was not coming to the side, leaned over, and violently hugged Kurosawa Mihua, who hadn't reacted much, and cried bitterly.
"Xili......" Mihua raised her hand and hugged Xili, who was lying on top of her and crying in a low voice.
Until a moment later. Fang Xili's mood calmed down a little, and she helped Kurosawa Mihua to stand up from the ground.
"What the hell is going on? Why are you in the box? Or a resentful spirit? Wang Chao frowned, looked at Kurosawa Mihua in front of him and asked in a deep voice.
“…… Probably, it's because I've become a human pillar......" Kurosawa Mika was silent for a moment, turned her head, and looked at the box containing the black liquid inside, and whispered meaningfully.
"Human pillars?" Wang Dynasty's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
He understood the meaning of the human pillar, which was the human being used to bear the core in certain rituals.
For example, the human pillar force in Naruto, its professional name is human pillar! It's just that the situation is a little better, except for the worse living environment - the fear and resentment of the people around them, at least the people are still alive.
But in reality, the human column is different. Whatever the purpose for which people were made into human pillars, very few people survived! Even those who survived were in terrible condition.
Not to mention freedom or anything - it is common for a small black house to be imprisoned all his life, and whether his body can be preserved and healthy is two things. The most likely thing is that the limbs are damaged, the eyes are blind, the ears cannot hear, the mouth cannot speak, and the most cruel things can be done. In order to increase the strength of the human pillar.
Wang couldn't help but think of the female corpses that he had seen in the cave in the womb when he went up the mountain last time, and their limbs were crushed and locked in black boxes, and their situation was very consistent with the characteristics of human pillars.
Later, Kurosawa Mika, who was the person concerned, explained, "This is a legend that has been passed down in Mt. Hikami. According to legend, there is a black spring in Mt. Hijo, which is seen as the boundary between the present and the hidden, and every once in a while, a black spring overflows from the black spring there, which is both the night spring and the yellow spring itself. ”
"The mixing of the night fountain with the water that is considered to be a spirit spirit blurs the line between the present and the hidden, thus posing a danger to the inhabitants of the mountain and below. Therefore, in order to suppress 'Kurosawa', the shrine maidens on the mountain will choose powerful shrine maidens to become human pillars, put them in a box filled with night spring water, and sink into the water to protect this boundary between life and death. ”
"In this process, the shrine maidens who are between life and death will use their power to see the memories of the deceased, share the feelings of the deceased, and bear their memories, emotions and secrets, so that these will not be leaked out, so that the deceased can die peacefully, and then merge into the water and return to the Yellow Spring."
"But there is no limit to manpower. Even the shrine maidens who have been given a ritual to approach the body of immortality. After a long time of seeing and sharing the feelings and memories of the deceased's death, the shrine maidens will gradually close to collapse, and finally push open the lid of the 'bandit' and let themselves melt into the water to complete the return. ”
"Bandits?" Wang Chao's eyes flashed, and he grabbed one of the key words and asked.
"It's the black box we saw in the inner hole of the underground womb of the Shoyo Shrine.,It's called a bandit.,It's used to carry the shrine maidens whose abilities aren't particularly powerful." Kurosawa explained.
"And what's going on with those men? Are there other female limbs? Why is it that way? Wang Chao frowned and asked.
"Those men are the losers of the marriage. As for the female limbs...... That's to increase the power of the shrine maiden, so every shrine maiden who enters the 'bandits' will have their limbs broken and sink into the box. ”
"Ghosts?" Wang Dynasty nodded, and found that the woman's situation was no different from the answer he had guessed, so he turned to ask new questions.
"Well, let's start with Kurosawa." After a pause, Kurosawa Mika said again, "In order to suppress it, the shrine maidens will be placed in a box containing the Night Fountain and sunk into the water, and then the power of painful viewing will purify the minds of the deceased, so that they can return to the Yellow Spring in peace. But as mentioned before, there is an end to manpower, and the same is true for shrine maidens, the difference is only the length of time that can be held. ”
Therefore, in order to prolong the time for the shrine maidens to maintain their vitality, the shrine maidens will also leave white-clothed emas (pictures with the powers and thoughts of the shrine maidens) for the men who come to the mountains to choose from before they become human pillars and sink into the water. If the match is matched, the shrine maidens will help the man and the chosen shrine maiden to hold a secret marriage ceremony. ”
"If the ritual is successful, the man will be placed in a coffin by the shrine maidens, along with the woman he has chosen to breed, and will be immortalized surrounded by the Night Spring. But if it fails, the man's soul will be sent by the shrine maidens to the unenquited mound in the valley of the taboo to be worshipped. At the same time, the body left behind will be stored in a separate 'bandit' and sent to the inner hole under the Nawashiro Shrine for preservation. ”
"That's where the male corpses in the hole in the womb come from." Kurosawa concluded.
"What is it?" Hinsaki Fukaha, who was fascinated by the hearing, wondered.
"This is the coffin." Kurosawa Mika didn't hide it, and looked at the big box that was wide open beside him. Then without anyone asking, he explained it on his own.
"The role of the coffin is the same as that of the bandits, and it is used to carry the witch to suppress Kurosawa. It's just that the identity of the shrine maiden it carries is more important, and the power of the shrine maiden is also stronger. Therefore, compared to the witches in the 'bandits', even if they don't have to break their limbs, they can withstand the impact of the deceased's thoughts for a long time. ”
Therefore, the shrine maiden who is encased in the coffin has a special name - the big pillar. According to the records I found, since the activities of the shrine maidens on Hikami Mountain, a total of five large pillars have been placed in the coffin to suppress Kurosawa. ”
"That still doesn't explain why you became a wraith." Wang Chao looked at the coffin next to him, then at Kurosawa Mihua in front of him and at the deep feather next to him who was also rescued from the coffin, and frowned.
"Then I don't know. After all, I don't know much about it. Kurosawa Mika smiled wryly.
"Okay, that's all there is to it, let's go back." Wang Chao shook his head and sighed.
"Okay." Kurosawa nodded her head, but Fang Xili responded softly.
"That...... Can you please help me find my mother? However, the next moment, the actions of the three of them were interrupted by Shen Yu's words, and they couldn't help but look at her with a puzzled face.
"My mother should be in this mountain, can you please help me find it? Please! Regardless of the outcome, I will give you a lot of thanks afterwards! Hinasaki Fukaha knelt down and bowed.
"What do you mean?" Wang Dynasty didn't agree immediately, but turned his head to look at Mihua and Xili beside him.
"It's up to you." Mihua shook her head slightly.
Although Xi Li did not speak, the same meaning was fully expressed in her expression.
“…… Well, it's not a bit of time anyway. Wang looked at Hinsaki Fukaha, who was standing in front of him, and replied with a sigh.
"Thank you! Thank you! Hinsaki Fukaha thanked emotionally.
"So, let's start here." The dynasty didn't say anything, turned his head and looked at the closed doorway on the wall opposite the box in the center of the room.
In this regard, Kurosawa Mihua, Xili and Fukayu naturally had no opinions, and watched as Wang Dynasty walked to the heavy solid wood gate, raised his sword in his hand, and slashed the door lock of the gate with the katana conjured by the golden talisman.
Then the dynasty dispersed the katana, put his palms against the door of the gate, and slowly pushed the gate open with the strength of his arms.
Immediately, a long, shallow passage came into view of the dynasty and the three behind him. It's just that in addition, the figure of the black-robed and rotten woman that Wang Chao and Xi Li and Shen Yu had seen once before also appeared in the eyes of the three of them again, and with a slight change, they disappeared into the air as unpleasantly as a phantom.
"Looks like there's a big guy in there." Wang Chao lowered his arms and muttered in a low voice.
Then without hesitation, he led the three of them into the corridor.
"There, there's something there." At this time, Hinasaki Fukaha suddenly pointed to the water near the wall not far away.
Wang Chao raised his eyebrows and led the three of them to the place where Shen Yu pointed out.
Sure enough, something like a souvenir came into the sight of the four of them. No, Fang Xili stepped forward and squatted and grabbed it...... The familiar shadow was once again present in her mind.
It was a picture of a beautiful woman dressed in white, looking at the sunset and the box underneath, and her eyes were sad as she walked forward.
"See it again?" Dynasty asked.
"Yes." Shiri nodded, and handed the pamphlet to the dynasty.
Wang Chao took it, opened it, and showed the contents in the eyes of everyone.
"I was hesitant to go, but I finally decided. Although it was originally decided that one day it would have to be made, in order to become a strong human pillar, it had to be decided by itself. I will become a human pillar and enter the cage. In eternal loneliness, continue to embrace the deaths that are taken. I will be an immortal eternal flower, forever in the night spring, this is my mission.
I have seen the deaths of many people, and the secrets. However, who will come to see the secret of the shrine maiden, the secret of mine? (To be continued.) )
