There is one thing to say.

Although the Asano shrine maiden has been screaming Asano shrine maiden.

However, it was the first time that Qiao Qiao had seen Ariko Asano in a shrine maiden suit.

Her hair was tied back with sandalwood paper, and her white clothes were spotless.

The scarlet hakama is bright, which brings out my beauty.

At this moment, Asano Airo's contemplative appearance with her eyes closed is quite a bit sacred and solemn.

It is a perfect match for this hall.

She is worthy of being a trainee shrine maiden of Atsuta Jingu.

Qiao Qiao sighed in his heart.

Then I saw Asako Asano open her eyes.

from the pocket.

Took out the phone.

Took out the phone.

Crackling and slapping.

Qiao Qiao picked up his phone.

In the group of the [Tokyo Soul Removal Association], a message popped up.

[Ariko☆Kira]: I'm so bored, I want to go back to sleep, I'm sleepy.

[Wishing Bow Road once]: Ya Lizi-chan, look to the left.

Qiao Qiao also raised his head when he saw this news.

Ariko Asano looked slightly confused at the Soul Killer who came over from Tokyo.

And beside Qiao Qiao, across Kotokui Masato, Fujiwara Ayano waved his hand lightly.

Ariko Asano smiled when she saw Fujiwara Ayano.

Skip Masato Kotokui.

When I saw Qiao Qiao again, I smiled even happier.

“？”

Wait a minute.

Qiao Qiao looked at the chat log, and then at Fujiwara Ayano.

It turns out that she is also in the group?

Qiao Qiao only knew that Hoshikawa Yuyan was in the group at first.

Later, it was discovered that Ii Masaharu was also in the group.

Now I didn't expect that Fujiwara Ayano was also in the group.

In this way, the Tuyumen Qingming of Yinyangliao is probably also in the group?

Qiao Qiao suddenly had palpitations.

Fortunately, he was cautious in his words and deeds, and did not offend people in the group.

This group is unfathomable.

As he pondered, a priest hurried in from outside.

He whispered a few words in the ear of Ren Saburo before returning to the priesthood.

"Everyone."

Ren Saburo of Asagami spoke, and his voice made the entire hall quiet.

"I think everyone has already learned about this incident through the Soul Destroyer Association."

He looked around.

"Originally, on the 5th of this month, the shrine would hold the Sangbu Festival, which is the biggest festival of the year at Atsuta Shrine."

For ordinary people, the Shangwu Festival is a lively festival with the purpose of offering to the Heavenly Cong Cloud Sword.

With lanterns, performances, festivals, fireworks displays, etc., both couples and families can enjoy the festival.

But for the priests and shrine maidens of Atsuta Shrine, it is an annual ritual to check the state of the Tencong Cloud Sword and draw power.

For example, the sword bells that are enshrined as the body of the gods in each branch of Atsuta Jingu Shrine were brought to the main shrine during this festival and were infiltrated by the spiritual power of the Heavenly Cloud Sword.

It is arguably the most important festival of Atsuta Jingu.

This year's Sangbu Festival was held as scheduled, and Atsuta Jingu Shrine welcomed a large number of visitors.

However, Ren Saburo, who was in charge of the ceremony, found that he couldn't sense the Heavenly Cloud Sword.

Therefore, after consulting the Ise Jingu and the Imperial Palace.

Ren Saburo Asagami passed through the curtain and came to the back of the worship hall.

Yes.

Although the Tiancong Cloud Sword is enshrined every year, in fact, the Asagami Ren Saburo has never seen the Tiancong Cloud Sword.

Even the emperor of the Imperial Palace can only look at the artifact when he succeeds to the throne.

Ordinary priests can't look at each other directly.

In the Edo period book "Jade Signature Collection", there is a record of a priest spying on the Heavenly Cloud Sword.

However, later, all of these priests died in misfortune, and only one person remained, and the text about the Heavenly Cloud Sword was recorded.

Of course, the real Tiancong Cloud Sword does not have the danger of killing people at a glance.

The reason for this should be that the spiritual power contained in the Tiancong Cloud Sword itself is excessive.

Even just a glance at it will carry too much spiritual power.

If you can't control it yourself, then it can easily lead to disaster.

Whether it's attracting other weirdness, or being targeted by someone with a heart.

Asagami Ren Saburo naturally doesn't have to worry about this.

He passed through the uninhabited temple and came to the throne.

In the light veil, according to the description, it should be a thick cloud and mist covering the sword body of the Tiancong Cloud Sword, making it difficult to see the specific appearance.

At the moment, however, it is empty.

The Heavenly Cloud Sword is nowhere to be found.

At first, Asakami Renzaburo only informed Ise Jingu and the Imperial Palace that he wanted to rely on the power of Atsuta Jingu to retrieve the Tencong Cloud Sword.

This is not the blind confidence of Ren Saburo of Asagami.

In history, the Heavenly Cloud Sword has been stolen once.

It was more than 1,300 years ago, the Tiancong Cloud Sword was stolen by a monk, who knew that after a day and a night, the Tiancong Cloud Sword actually disappeared, and when it reappeared, it had already returned to the worship hall of Atsuta Shrine.

The monk did not believe in evil and stole it again.

This time, he was caught in a storm and couldn't leave Nagoya.

At this time, the search net of the Atsuta Shrine has been opened, and the monk wants to throw away the Tiancong Cloud Sword and escape, but the Tiancong Cloud Sword never leaves his side, and in the end, the monk was arrested, and the Tiancong Cloud Sword returned to the Shrine.

After that time, the Heavenly Cloud Sword was kept in the Imperial Palace for a while.

It wasn't until later that he finally returned to Atsuta Jingu.

As for the other attempts to steal, there are countless of them, but they can't even enter the worship hall of the Heavenly Cloud Sword.

Artifacts are spiritual.

This is also the reason why the loss of the Tiancong Cloud Sword this time is unsettling.

It's been almost a month, and I haven't seen a single shadow of the Heavenly Cloud Sword.

Could it be that the Atsuta Shrine has been abandoned by the Heavenly Cloud Sword?

Although the spiritual power of the priests and witches does not come from the Tiancong Cloud Sword, many rituals, props, etc., need to rely on the power of the Tiancong Cloud Sword.

If the Heavenly Cloud Sword completely disappears, then Atsuta Shrine will definitely gradually decline and eventually die.

Without a shrine of the gods, what is the point of existence?

What's more, if this kind of artifact falls into the hands of some lawbreakers, the consequences will be unimaginable.

When Ren Saburo of Asagami spoke, his expression was unexpectedly calm.

Qiao Qiao can understand.

As a palace secretary, if even he is panicked, then how can he command the search for work.

"We have searched the downtown area of Nagoya and have not found the whereabouts of Excalibur, and we are now expanding the search area."

Asagami Ren Saburo said.

"I just got the news that an anomalous spiritual phenomenon has been detected in areas such as Nikata Town, Nishi-ku, Nagoya, Maruichi Park in Nakagawa Ward in the west, and Takemi Town, Mizuho Ward in the east."

On the side of the main hall, there is a map of the vicinity of Nagoya, many of which have been marked, presumably searched.

"In addition, there are areas such as Inazawa City and Fuso Town, where spiritual power exploration work is underway."

Listening to Ren Saburo's narration, Qiao Qiao was a little confused.

More than half a month has passed since 5 June.

If the Tiancong Cloud Sword is really stolen by someone, then half a month, let alone the territory of Heguo.

The Heavenly Cloud Sword may have been used as a tool for adult ceremonies for young people in some tribe in Africa.

Why is the search still limited to the vicinity of Nagoya?

Perhaps someone had similar doubts with Qiao Qiao, and Ren Saburo Asagami quickly explained the reason.

"Although we can't find the Heavenly Cloud Sword, the connection between the Divine Palace and the Divine Sword does exist."

"According to the revelation we have gotten, the Heavenly Cloud Sword has been in Nagoya City for more than half a month."
