Chapter Forty-Eight: Akama Shrine

Kazuyoshi Nagato and his entourage walked on the stone steps with a sense of history, and behind them there were tourists taking pictures of the red and white Tianshui Gate of Akama Shrine.

The shrine was built to commemorate Emperor Yasutoku, who died in battle at a young age.

Heimasato didn't understand what there was to commemorate a three-year-old emperor who died at the hands of a woman at the age of eight, and who had never had a trace of political achievements since taking office, but this did not affect the meaning of the existence of Akama Shrine.

Because the meaning of the existence of Akama Jingu is the Taira tomb inside it!

At that time, the royal family of the Genji clan declined, and the dragon qi was scattered, flowing into the side branch of the Genji clan, and in this case, the most powerful Ping clan in the side branch came out of a demon, Taira Kiyomori.

This is the first soldier in the history of Dongying. Thing alone. Under his extraordinary talent and courage, the Taira clan at that time could be described as covering the sky with one hand, not only defeating the Genji army, but also occupying all the high-level positions.

Therefore, the people of the Ping clan of that generation were unwilling to be lonely even after death, and when the aura was revived, they directly turned the entire Akama Shrine into a ghost.

Fortunately, the Later Genji rose up and defeated this group of rebellious ministers and thieves, sealing them under the shrine.

It is precisely because of this that Akama Shrine uses this as an excuse every year to pry away a lot of resources released by Genji to Yamaguchi Prefecture, so that the entire military and political system hates Jingu very much.

You may ask, why didn't Genji send an onmyoji to take over the shrine?

Heiya can responsibly tell you that once he steps into the confines of Akama Shrine with Genji blood, those things that are not safe to die can directly riot to you.

Even if his surname is Ping now, it is useless, when the Ping clan was defeated, the clan was scattered, and each generation of emperors will always give some relatives and important ministers the name "Ping", which has long been flooded in Dongying Ping, and those old ghosts don't recognize it at all, and even some people will change it because of the ugly name.

It's just that he was recorded on the genealogy of the Ping clan under the control of the Genji Imperial Family, which is a little higher than the status of ordinary Ping clansmen, if his child is not recorded after birth, then the status is no different from ordinary people, and the Genji Imperial Family will not pay a penny to support her.

It can be seen how ruthless that cold-blooded mother is......

Back to the topic, Nagato Kazuyoshi and his party came to the backyard, and the witch who led the way turned around and said, "Chief Nagato, inside is the residence of the Heavenly Witch, please your subordinates stay here." ”

“…… Good. ”

"Thank you for your understanding, please come with me."

Nagato Kazuyoshi stepped into the hospital door, and for a while, various detection techniques brushed his body again, bringing him an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

But remembering the minister's explanation, he endured it.

Finally, I finally met the Heavenly Witch, an elderly woman, but it was clear from her eyebrows that she didn't look very good when she was young.

The type of ...... of the director of menopause

Ignoring the tentative words of the Heavenly Witch, Nagato went straight to the point and directly told the Heavenly Witch his intention.

The Heavenly Witch frowned directly, and said coldly: "This is a frame-up, I don't think you and Zhou Fang can't see it." ”

"Yes, my lord, but we still have to live by the rules, don't we? Wherever the incident took place, its surroundings should be investigated. ”

Looking at the other party's Rumo's face, Nagato hurriedly said: "But we believe in you, the Heavenly Witch, so the investigation can be solved by the Divine Palace itself, but the Heavenly Witch, no matter who the perpetrator is, his disrespect for the Divine Palace is irrefutable, so I would like to ask you to send someone to support our Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau." ”

“…… This is the way it should be. ”

"Also, I want to meet that adult......"

“…… Okay, Keiko, take him to Yoshichichi. ”

"Yes, sir."

……

……

On the way back to Shimonoseki City, Heimasato listened to Kasuga-Li's information and asked, "You mean that the sewers of Akama Shrine are full of corpses and evil spirits?" ”

"Yes, where the concentration of evil qi is so high that it has caused the mutation of rats, and a few of our colleagues in the investigation have been accidentally injured, and your task is to be responsible for the evolution of evil qi so that we can collect corpses."

“…… Whew~, I think you should send more people over, and there is likely to be an accident in the Akama Shrine. ”

"Huh? Do you know how big the Akama Shrine is? There's ...... there."

"Is it earless?"

"You know? And you still question them? Fang Yi is a great being who has been resurrected as a god of pipa music, although he can't see, but his own perception is very sensitive, and anyone with malicious intent will be attacked by sound waves, which is an attack comparable to the power of the gods! ”

"Listen to me first, my suspicions are based on two points, first, Shinto is already at odds with your high-level leaders, and the victims this time are all second-generation soldiers, and according to your investigation, some high-level people are surrounded by evil spirits, aren't they?"

"That's impossible, even the priests and shrines of the Akama Shrine are all stupid, and they don't dare to go against the entire Genji, or even the whole world!"

"Don't worry, I have a second point."

“…… What is it? ”

"Do you remember how Earless got his name?"

“……”

"Have you ever thought about the evil aura that spreads throughout the sewers of the Akama Shrine, why hasn't anyone reported those priests and shrine maidens?"

“!!!”

Looking at Karuga-Li, whose face had changed, Ping Yaren said leisurely again:

“…… The more perceptive an existence is, the more susceptible it is to the influence of evil energy.

…… What's more, under the Akama Shrine, there is a group of evil spirits that are comparable to evil spirits.

If they take cover...... Maybe these demons have ...... Tsk, if he did, the man behind it would either be a fool or he would be a ......

Lunatic! ”

……

……

Rumble~!

When the shrine maiden named Keiko opened the door of Yoshichido, a huge evil aura broke through the door, and the entire Yoshiichido was destroyed in an instant, and a huge figure appeared in Akama Shrine.

The evil aura all over the body spreads, the upper body still has a human form, and the lower body has turned into an octopus.

The lute that was supposed to be used to play beautiful music was wielded as a hammer, and a large mouth full of fangs cracked in the head of the earless and purposeless, enough to be used as a roar of sonic attack to blast into the enchantment that had been opened.

"Whew!!"

The Heavenly Witch and the Great Priest of the Akama Shrine directly burst out! The High Priest commanded directly:

"All the witches formed a formation to carry out the purification, and the priests suppressed Fang Yiren, Lord Heavenly Witch, please lead the team to the place where the soul is suppressed, if so...... If they do run away, ask for help directly from Izumo Taisha and Genji, so be careful! ”

"Good!"

And Nagato Ichiya, who escaped by luck with his own strength, also reported directly to Minister Zhou Fang.

“…… Tool...... Specifics...... That's it, Fang Yi has been possessed by evil spirits, and I'm afraid those Ping evil ghosts have also ......"

Minister of Defense: ......
