"The main shrine of the Izumo Taisha Shrine is not something left over from ancient times, in fact, according to the spring rain, it has been destroyed several times along the way, and even the foundation has been rebuilt more than three times."

"Well, it's mainly because the way the witches of our vein fight are a bit destructive, and you've seen that."

"Well, one more!"

Shi Yu pushed the ice cream bowl that had been licked clean to Qiao Qiao.

"This time I want cantaloupe and blueberry flavors!"

She said expectantly.

This guy is similar to Suzuka in a way.

Qiao Qiao called the waiter and ordered two more ice creams.

After placing one of them in front of Shi Yu, he handed the remaining one to Sayoko.

"Eat as much as you want."

He said.

Sayoko picked up the spoon and took a small bite, narrowing her eyes.

"I remember that the Izumo Taisha Shrine worships the god of the great powers, and the lord of the great powers should be the farming gods in charge of agriculture and civilization, right?

Qiao Qiao still has some understanding of mythology.

Especially after seeing Natsume's poetry of the spirit-removing technique, he was a little curious about the different spirit-removing techniques of each shrine and learned it.

For example, Atsuta Shrine, according to Auriko, is to use spiritual power to manifest the Heavenly Cloud Sword to fight.

The sword shrine maiden of Yasaka Shrine is dressed in red and white armor, and she embodies weapons such as the Ten Fists Sword to remove spirits.

The main priest of the Tenmangu Palace, where Fujiwara Ayano is located, Sugawara Michizane, Sugawara Michizane is the god of knowledge of the country, and he also has the attributes of the god of thunder, so in addition to the complex formation, the spiritual art of the Tenmangu Palace is thunder and lightning.

There are eight million gods in Wakuni, and the determinism of different shrines has changed depending on the god of the main priest.

That's a good understand.

Different gods are different types of weirdness, and they have different powers, but after becoming a god, because the faith of the masses gains power, their abilities will be more inclined to the direction of the people's beliefs, and so on, and finally become what they are now.

"That's true, the lord of the kingdom is a descendant of Suzhan Mingzun, who established a state in Izumo and governed well, so he became a god."

Shi Yu dug a spoonful of ice cream, put it in his mouth, felt the coldness and sweetness, and then continued.

"But in the later circulation, the image of the main god of the great country and the image of the foreign god has merged, this situation is very common, such as the weirdness of Yuzao, isn't it the image of the legend of the nine-tailed fox from China after the transformation of the country."

She gave a simple example.

"And the fusion with the main god of the great country is one of the seven gods of good fortune, the god of wealth, probably because in that era, agriculture and commerce will be related to money, and the main god of the great country who blesses these will naturally become the god of wealth."

"The words of the Seven Lucky Gods are all foreign gods themselves."

Qiao Qiao answered.

The concept of the Seven Lucky Gods of Heguo comes from the legend of the Eight Immortals in China, among the seven gods of good fortune, only Ebisu is the local god of Heguo, and the other six come from other beliefs such as Taoism and Buddhism.

"Well, the name of the god of Daikokuten is Mokogaro, which is the god that spread from India to Huaxia and then from Huaxia to Heguo, although it has always been believed to be the god of wealth, but in fact, in the original mythology, Daikokuten is just the incarnation of another god."

Shi Yu said with his mouth, and the action of eating in his hand did not mean to stop at all.

"The Great Black Heaven is the name of Buddhism, and the Great Black Heaven is the Great Freedom Heaven of Brahmanism, which is the incarnation of Shiva."

Shiva.

Qiao Qiao had heard a saying before.

The essence of each mythological system is that everyone sits together and brags to see who bragged badly.

and small countries, the scope of cognition is limited, and the lord of a country can be revered as a god.

Europe is mountainous, and the gods live on the top of the mountain, and the living beings are giants who can call the wind and rain.

Huaxia is to live in seclusion in the mountains, and those who live long are immortals, at ease.

And India, due to the development of mathematics in ancient times, is also very powerful.

Peng Zu lived for 800 years to live a long life, but for Indians, 800 is a small number.

From 84,000 years of life, every 100 years of life is reduced by one year to 10 years old, and then in turn increases to the original 84,000 years old, which is a small eon, 20 small eons are medium eons, and 80 medium eons are a great eon, and the gods live in this great eon.

Another example is that the eight million gods of Heguo seem to be a lot, but Shiva is in charge of 333 million gods in legend.

"Listening to Chunyu, our vein was originally a branch of the Great Black Sky Godhead in the worship of the main god of the great powers, and because of its strong combat power but difficult to control, it was assigned to the work of managing the paradise, and after so many years, it has not fallen to this extent."

Shi Yu has eaten sweets, his mood is a little better, and he talks more.

The three of them are now in a dessert shop in Okuizumo Town.

The time was four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was not yet dark, and the students who had left school could be seen on the street, showing a youthful and lively meaning.

Shi Yu probably didn't return to the park until after high school.

After destroying the three monsters, Shi Yu found that "something" was missing, and searched the entire paradise, but could not find it.

So, she could only leave with Qiao Qiao and Sayoko for the time being, closing the entrance and exit of the paradise, preparing to seek help from the Soul Killer Association.

Okuizumo Town does not have a branch of the Soul Destroyer Association, so she can only follow Qiao Qiao back to Matsue City.

As for why don't you go directly to Izumo and find the head office.

“...... Well, we don't really have much contact with our company, and we only meet at the time of the god sacrifice once a year, so I'm not familiar with it, so I'll be shy. ”

Here's how she explained.

However, Qiao Qiao felt that she might just be similar to a child who made a mistake and was afraid to tell his parents.

"Then again, Shi Yu, what you said is gone, what is missing."

Qiao Qiao asked.

"Well...... Although you can't usually tell anyone, but since you've lost it, I guess you'll know sooner or later. ”

Shi Yu picked up the spoon and put the last bite of ice cream into his mouth.

"It's the soul jade of the Yaki Orochi."

Poof-

Qiao Qiao almost squirted out the water that was halfway drunk.

Little girl, do you know what you're talking about?

"Don't worry, the Yaki Orochi is dead, and even the last faith has disappeared because of so many years of legends."

Seeing this, Shi Yu explained.

"Paradise is built on the remains of the Yaqi Giant Serpent, relying on the Soul Jade to maintain the existence of the enchantment, so to speak, the Soul Jade is the core of the Paradise."

"If this one is lost, won't Paradise fall apart?"

On the side, Sayoko, who had heard it in the fog before, could only interject at this time.

"That's ......"

Shi Yu was a little gloomy at this time.

"Moreover, the soul jade of the Yaqi Great Snake also contains a wealth of spiritual power, so maybe it has other uses, such as unlocking the seal of something strange......

"Strange seals?"

Qiao Qiao seemed to sense something very serious.
