Nikko National Park covers a wide area, not just Tochigi Prefecture and Gunma and Fukushima, but when it comes to Nikko, it is Toshogu Shrine, Futarayama Shrine, Rinnoji Temple, Nikko Mountain, Oku-Nikko area, Nantai Mountain, Chuzenji Lake, and Battlefield Hara, not to mention the same.

Nishitengu Shrine is a shrine built on a corner of Mt. Nikko, and it is a quiet sanctuary that is separated from the area where people enter and exit as a tourist spot, compared to the gorgeous Toshogu Shrine and the Futarasan Shrine near the west side.

In this territory, Kugatsuka Mikihiko, who is dressed as a priest, is making a phone call with his mobile phone.

"So Kusanagi-sama is here too? Of course, you are very welcome, mmmm, mmmm, please say hello to Miss Xiaoguang for me......" The young girl on the side was listening, it was Lu Yinghua and Anxiera.

"It's really amazing, the tone of that speech, I can't see that my sister is manipulating it at all."

"Of course, I'm the one at the top of all witches."

The boy shrugged his shoulders, and the girl replied boringly, looking at Kuhatsuka Mikihiko like a doll tired of playing.

"It's just that the trouble is that not only the shrine maiden who is the key, but also the Kusanagi Godo, the [king] of this country, has also come, which is a little inappropriate, but fortunately, the most troublesome king did not come to this country."

Lu Yinghua's ears could not only hear the voice of Kugatsuka Mikihiko, but even the voice on the other side of the phone, it was really a beautiful voice, higher than that of men and lower than that of women......

"Hmph, come on, I dare to compete with John Pluto Smith, I have only been a god-killer for less than a year, and I can easily defeat him."

"I see, I finally understand the reason for my sister's failure in Los Angeles." Facing the evil eye and the witch with sharp fighting spirit, Lu Yinghua sneered.

“…… You guy. ”

"My sister didn't understand how troublesome [Wang] was, those people had nothing to do with experience, they were already terrible existences when they killed gods and took away power, although my sister and I are masters, but the weakest [Wang] is also stronger than us." Lu Yinghua said darkly to the god killer, "Techniques and spells, strategies and traps, this kind of thing is ineffective against them, I am probably stronger than five of the eight [kings], the level of martial arts, but I don't dare to compete head-on, those people, no matter who the opponent is, are definitely [victors], no matter how talented they are, or they have a hundred years of cultivation, they can't match them at all, so they are called kings." ”

The young man, who was fourteen years old and had spent ten years with Master during this period, said very heavily.

"The king and the king are relatively the best, we just need to do our job."

“…… Are you going to be called, your Master? ”

The most fierce, extremely martial, undefeated and in a situation of defeat.

Anshera asked, and Lu Yinghua nodded.

"To call, tell her that there will be a mistake in the plan, the persuasion of death, and respectfully welcome her coming, anyway, she will come over when she meets with the Divine Monarch, what's wrong with coming sooner...... That's what I think. Thinking of Master's arrogance and unreasonableness, the young and vigorous young man sighed, "Otherwise, if we fail, we don't know what kind of torture we will be subjected to—we can't even think about it, and we will be dragged out by Master again, and we will be hit with a few heavy blows......"

In the palace of the Sanctuary at the end of the east, the actors began to gather, and there were still a few days before they were gathered, and the smell of the storm was gradually rising.

————————————————————————————————

In preparation for meeting the Divine Monarch, Hikaru puts on a shrine maiden costume.

Under the guidance of the young man of Kugatsuka, he came to the social affairs office, and his sister Yuri also followed him.

Although he said that he wanted to prepare a waiting room for himself, he refused, and for his own sake, there was no need to be so troublesome, so he waited with Ganji near the social affairs office.

After that, the two of them, who stayed outside, began to talk about some things related to the ape god monarch in this ancestral temple.

Among them, what worries him the most is to hear Gan Ji say that 100 years ago, after the liberation of the last Divine Monarch, all the people related to the West Heavenly Palace were blown away, and the shrine where they were located was also rebuilt later, because he was worried about whether Wanli Guyu's sister Wanli Guguang was really okay?

"Let the [God of Disobedience], who was finally sealed, come out? Moreover, will the released gods really come back on their own? ”

"Speaking of which, I will tell the story of the god that Mr. Godo hates the most."

"The reason for coming back, didn't I say that I had a lifetime of great spells, and the mana gathered from the sacred areas of all over Japan has become the divine power of Tosho Daishi, binding the Ape God Monarch, even if I go out to riot, I will eventually return here to accept the seal."

“…… Is this kind of thing possible? "Godo was surprised, even the magicians who gathered humans could not defeat the powerful [God of Disobedience], this should be the principle of this world.

"It shouldn't be possible, but somehow it has been done, Xin and I are very sure that this mechanism is a collection of the wisdom of the ancients."

Ancient—that is, the living heirs of the people who live in the world.

As she spoke, Yuri returned, and Xiaoguang and the young man of the Nine Laws were gone, and she was wearing the costume of a shrine maiden.

"What's wrong with this dress? Isn't my sister with you? ”

"Xiaoguang is talking to Mr. Gan Yan right now, Hutang-san, can you please take me to Lord Ape Shenjun as well." After talking to Godo, Yuri said with a resolute expression.

"Wanli Valley is also going? No, no, I want to meet the gods. It's too dangerous. ”

"It's because of the danger, in case of an accident, the guards will definitely protect Xiaoguang, right? Well, I'll go with you. "Aware of Godo's intentions, Yuri can see the knowledge of the gods through spiritual vision, and if there is a situation in which the gods fight, it will make a world of difference between her and her absence.

"It's not okay to let the go-sango take risks for the sake of your sister, but hide in a safe place by yourself, please." Yuri sincerely told that she was very grateful for her care, but if she was to be allowed to impart the knowledge of the gods to the beautiful witch maiden, she would have to go through that act—

Looking at Yuri's pitiful lips, Godo suddenly realized.

Probably thinking about the same thing, Yuri is also very shy.

“…… Such as, if...... When that happens, I'm completely irrelevant......"

"—It's true that it comes with a lot of danger, so isn't it just right to take Miss Yuri with you? For the sake of purpose, there is no need for the two of you to act separately. ”

The calm voice disturbed the world of the two, and the hall looked at the sky. Probably Yuri is like that, by the way, he's here now!

The two turned back at the same time, and the rustic-looking young man grinned.

"It's a little sad to forget that I exist, but the two of us get along very well, what do you think about this? Can you accept my proposal? ”

"That's it, just do it! Please take care of it, Wanli Valley! ”

"Well, well, this is the case, the little girl is not talented, please take care of me."

"You've been waiting a long time! …… Huh? Did something happen? ”

It was Xiaoguang and the young man of the Nine Laws Tsuka who finally came back to save this embarrassing atmosphere, at this time Gan Ji gave a salute and left without a word, although he was a member of the official history compilation committee, he was also an outsider to the West Heavenly Palace, so he should pay attention to the occasion.

The additional companion, the Kugatsuka boy, agreed very easily and unexpectedly.

In this way, Hutang and Xiaoguang have been taken to the depths of the territory of the Western Heavenly Palace.

"-Huh? What's up with this knife? ”

Xiaoguang was holding a small knife. The scabbard and hilt are made of white wood, and it looks like it has a long history.

"Ah, this one is called the Dragon Slayer. If you want to meet with Lord Kami-chan, this is a must. ”

"Like the Divine Monarch, it is the treasure sword that guards the Western Heavenly Palace."

This is an addition to the Kugatsuka boy.

"In this way, there are shrines where the sword is a godbody."

It was brought to an ancient ancestral temple, neither very big nor very gorgeous, just like the roadside in the countryside, a very rustic ancestral temple, surrounded by low trees, this should be a peach tree, the ancestral temple and the peach wood are surrounded by four directions, opening the note rope, releasing a strong spell, this rope is probably the enchantment.

"This is the ancestral temple of the Ape God Monarch, so Miss Xiaoguang, just follow what I taught directly." The young man of the Nine Laws Tsuka stepped back, and there was only the note rope in front of him.

There was nothing to see inside the temple, and although only the tattered lattice windows blocked it, the interior was completely dark.

"The ancestral hall and ancestral temple must have a witch maiden in order to weaken the seal of [Bi Ma Wen] and then open it." Xiaoguang said tremblingly.

The bold apprentice maiden is also nervous, and the next thing to do is to meet with the [God of Disobedience], of course, it is indeed a matter of course, so what is [Bi Ma Wen]?

Hutang and his sister guarded, Xiaoguang put his hand on the Zhulian rope, and the thick rope made of grass fell to the ground, and the magic power spread everywhere disappeared.

"It's amazing, is the ancestral temple open?"

"This probably won't work, this is an enchantment that seals the gods, it can't be completely eliminated, and it will be restored naturally after the statute of limitations passes." Yuri explains that it can only weaken powerful mana for a short time, and the effect on the power of Campione and the gods is very shallow.

"That's, then, it's ......!" Xiaoguang trembled and declared, and the lattice door of the ancestral temple was opened.

The interior is still very dark, and although I say so, I have already arrived here, and I can only go inside.

"I'll go in first, Wanli Gu and Xiaoguang will follow me - Mr. Jiu Hozuka, I'm sorry for your trouble, I listened to many of my wayward proposals."

"No, I'm honored to help you, please go slowly." There was no suppressed voice, and the young man of the Nine Laws Tsuka responded.

Walking in the dark for a while. The touch under your feet is as hard as concrete, and it is surprisingly easy to walk but the vision is extremely poor. Left and right, nothing can be seen, it is completely dark, and the only thing that can be determined is the breath of the two sisters in the back.

"Everyone, hold hands in order not to fall behind, and hold my hand."

"Okay, okay, got it!" Yuri, the call of the Godo, replied, reaching back and holding the soft hand.

"Xiaoguang held my hand, uh-huh, that's it, it's okay." The soft voice of the older sister who instructed the younger sister.

It was like this for a few minutes. Maybe it's tens of minutes, and the feeling of time disappears.

"Hutang-san...... Noticed? Suddenly, Yuri said seriously, "We have now come to the Netherworld, the world we have entered before...... The road in the ancestral temple of the West Heavenly Palace is probably the corridor of the present world and the secluded world! ”

"Sister, the secluded world, is it the secluded world?"

"Well, the realm of life and immortality, the land of nothingness between the human world and the divine realm, is called the world in the gap between the Yellow Spring Biliang Slope."

Hearing the sisters' questions and answers, Godo looked to the sky.

"The barrier that seals the gods...... If you think about it, this is possible, but you don't feel sad that you guys don't seem to be doing anything in the Valley? Thinking of the previous incident caused by the Heavenly Cloud Sword, Erica was suffering because she followed the Guardian into the Netherworld, and the Guardian said.

Let's not mention Campione's own, ordinary humans shouldn't be used to the world, right?

"I think this corridor has the power that ordinary people can adapt to the world, thanks to this, I think so." Using the power of psionic vision, Yuri said with conviction.

It seems that it also makes sense to walk slowly in the dark.

“…… Wait a minute, I've finally come to the Netherworld, can I use the transfer from last time? ”

"No, it doesn't seem to work, I want to remember the secluded scenery I saw before...... But it always doesn't work well, and it seems that it can't be transferred elsewhere. ”

"What's going on?"

"The secluded world is isolated from other places, this is the cage where the Divine Monarch is kept." Through the power of spiritual vision, the convinced Yuri reported.

"Understand...... Well, it's true that this isn't a place you want to stay for a long time. ”

The three of them held hands and walked briskly towards there.

Arrived safely, and crossed the hole in the four corners, where it was a dilapidated hut, uninhabited, probably a horse hut, like the stable house I had just seen at Toshogu Shrine, the sun was shining outside, and it was a very comfortable blue sky.

In the distance, you can see very spectacular buildings, big houses...... No, the city may be called a palace, which, by the way, doesn't look like a Japanese-style building, a Chinese-style palace like the Forbidden City, and here are stables in that territory.

Looking at the scenery outside, suddenly Hutang felt the luxurious touch in his hand, still holding the hand of the witch maiden, the Wanli Valley sisters let go of their hands early in the morning, and met Yuri's eyes, and at the same time blushed, with their backs to each other, and immediately let go.

“…… Ah, there's a monkey there. Xiaoguang, who didn't pay attention to the actions of his sister and the guard, pointed to the corner of the stable.

On the hay, there was a monkey lying there.

It's not like a Japanese monkey, the face is not red, the coat color is very bright, almost orange golden body hair, and the body length is about 80 centimeters.

"It's really come to my palace, it's been a long time, and there are godkillers in it."

The monkey that does not get up and replies with a bright voice should be said to be similar to a human, and the light child jumps out of bed.

The monkey was no longer surprised that the monkey could speak, and asked calmly, "That, you are the Ape God Monarch?" ”

"That's what the guy who locked me up here called me, there should have been a better name, but it's been sealed."

"Actually, it's that little girl who is worrying about whether she should be your witch, so come and have a look today."

"Ahh

"Come play?"

"That's right, the witch who plays with me, sometimes chatting, sometimes playing hide and seek or playing double six, I like it very much, and if I can sing and dance, the evaluation will be improved." The shrine maiden of the West Heavenly Palace is like a shepherd's lyrics, but she is not raising sheep, but monkeys.

No, I guess I was playing with monkeys.

"Well, is it just playing with the Divine Monarch? I thought it was very important and thought I had to do it, so I was very confused......"

Unexpectedly, Xiaoguang had a direct conversation.

There is no fear of life, well, and the opponent does not have the majesty of God.

"It's rude to just play, and tidying up...... Well, that's all I'm asking for, instead, you're always asking me for help. ”

"We ...... Yuan witch? ”

"Well, let me chase that snake, go down to that dragon, and sometimes cry and beg me? So every time I go out from here, get back my original power and riot outside. ”

"The dragon's retreat? Aren't you the one who shelters the dragon? ”

Suddenly, the guardian stopped his mouth and said the time when he was three monkeys before.

"It's sheltered, but after beating it up and becoming my little brother, don't look at me like this, I'm also a part of "Steel", and it's common to deal with dragons and snakes...... So far, there have been one, two, or three riots, and the last time was when I quarreled with you. ”

After asking the Ape Divine Monarch, Godo tilted his head, it was obvious that he couldn't imagine when he had quarreled with the Ape Divine Monarch.

"I killed the earth dragon who rioted in a certain capital, and then had a dispute with you, but before the winner was decided, it was already time to return here, and at that time, weren't you going to destroy the door of the ancestral temple?"

"Uh-huh, I thought you wouldn't be able to go back here if you did that."

This time, Godo was surprised, and the woman's voice suddenly sounded, and the beauty of the music was staying, the cool bel canto.

As a result, the temple and the surrounding shrines were blown up all the time, but they did not rush into the cloister...... According to our calendar, it must have been a hundred years ago, but I still remember your method of suppressing the mess of the dragon god in Tokyo. ”

Godo looked in front of the ape god's line of sight, and in the stable, I don't know when a lizard was mixed in, it was obviously a lizard, but it had a dignified posture, full of majesty, just looking at it, it would leak out a sound of admiration.

"You, do you say ——!? How so, why is it in such a place!? ”

Suddenly, Yuri covered his mouth and gasped, Yamato Nadeshiko, who had been perfectly cultivated, was so excited.

"What's wrong, Wanli Valley!?"

His face is pale, his lips tremble, and Yuri has seen through the lizard?

Trembling constantly, probably out of fear, Godo approached the witch and wanted to comfort her.

"Protector, Guardian, the one there...... That is—"

Did the vision see anything? Her body trembled, she stammered, and she was terrified, and in order to calm her down, Godo put his hand on her shoulder.

"Yo, it seems to be a witch girl, so it sees, this is worthy of being a distant relative of the gods, who can see my temperament and have a pair of good eyes." White smoke came out of the lizard's body, and in the next moment, the small reptile transformed into a beautiful girl.

A peerless beauty, a black-haired girl, wrapping her body is an ancient Chinese costume - Hanfu, with a long hem, a long-sleeved and feather-like top, and a long skirt-like flowing bottom, which looks very similar to a kimono.

"What are you called? I'll ask your name, fellow godkiller. ”

"It's a pity that my name wasn't engraved in your memory, so I'll give my name again, and then punish you with death for the sin of forgetting." Towards the Ape God Monarch, her beautiful lips swore coldly, "My surname is Luo, my name is Cuilian, the word Hao, the leader of the Holy Sect, and the apex of the Monarch Martial Arts. ”

The terrifying Demon Sect Leader, Luo Hao, or Luo Cuilian.

Then Sarubatore Tony, Dejansdal Woban, and the fourth Campione after Naraku. The new Campione who met Kusanagi Godo is a fiery girl.
