Kitagawa Temple continues to move forward.

And every time he saw him solve an earth spirit, Yi Yan Naluo's heart jumped.

Something whispered in her ear:

It can't go on like this.

He can't be let go.

If this continues, the Wood of the Gods will fall into his hands...

The Wood of the Gods... The glory of the Ihan family... The ambitions of the previous great celestial people cannot be abandoned.

In this thought, Ihanaroku raised her eyes.

Calm, no waves, and—

She suddenly stretched out her hand and pulled Yi Huiguang, who was following behind Beichuan Temple, up, and at the same time, the light gold air flow exploded and forced Beichuan Temple, which was dealing with the earth spirit, to retreat several steps.

It works!

Ihana's eyes shrank, and madness converged in his eyes.

And just under her thoughts-

There was a sharp pain in her right foot.

It turned out that at some point, Beichuan Temple had already reserved a death trap under her feet.

Kitagawa Temple has always been paying attention to Yi Yan Naraku, and now that the other party is suddenly moving, of course he will not show mercy!

The chain of pitch-black death, which extended from Kitagawaji's hand, completely tugged at her right leg.

He actually condensed an explosion-proof shield with one hand to block the Earth Spirit's attack, and with the other hand he kept pulling her back?!

In this case, Ihana gritted her teeth!

A desolate wail came from her mouth.

In the somewhat surprised gaze of Beichuan Temple, she actually reached out and cut her spirit body into two pieces starting from her waist.

The remains of pale gold were thrown heavily to the ground.

This woman—

Actually gave up half of his spirit body?

Looking at the back of the other party who completely flew into the dark place under the corridor of the foot with Yi Huiguang, Beichuan Temple clearly felt a crazy emotion that looked at death as if it were home.

"Light dwells!" Yi Hui's face was panicked, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand to his sister.

But Ihana's speed was so fast that people didn't have time to react.

In this case, Beichuan Temple could only focus on dealing with the earth spirits in front of him for the time being.

After about ten seconds, the spirit was resolved. Beichuan Temple looked at Yi Hui Juxu.

This time, he did not shy away from asking, "Do you Yi Hui family still have a secret passage in this place?" ”

This is already obvious.

Ihanaroku couldn't survive under the Foot Corridor, not to mention that she also carried an oil bottle to live in Ihanko.

Then the answer is clear.

There is some kind of secret passage hidden under the corridor of the feet.

Through a certain secret passage, Ihan Naraku can break away directly from here.

“... Truly... There is a secret passage under the Foot Corridor of Ihan Shrine. As long as you pass through that secret passage, you can go to a safer place, and you don't have to be like now... Fight the spirits of the earth. ”

Yi Huiju said hurriedly.

His sister was taken away in front of him.

Thinking of the treatment she might suffer next, Yi Hui felt a chill in his hands and feet.

There is only one reason why Ihannaluo took Ihanguang to live.

The Ihanko dwells as a living sacrifice to awaken the Wood of the Imperial God.

She longed to set out to find the traces of the two now, but under the corridor of feet, her personal ability had no effect at all.

Yi Hui wanted to continue talking-

"You wait a minute." Kitagawa Temple opened his mouth to stop.

Then, under Yi Hui's empty gaze, Beichuan Temple raised his hand.

The dark death aura lingered and completely eliminated the hidden good thoughts of Yi Yan Naluo on her body.

"That's fine. She shouldn't be able to hear the conversation between us. ”

After destroying the spell that the other party was listening to, Beichuan Temple signaled Yi Hui to speak.

After receiving permission, Yi Hui Juxu opened his mouth and continued:

"Actually, the straight-line distance of our five trial rooms is much shorter than the straight-line distance from the dark passage to the Sacred Tree."

"Really?"

"Hmm."

Yi Hanju replied in vain, thinking about the contents of the family classics he had read and continued: "Because the five trial rooms are actually directly connected to the Wood of the Imperial God, after all, the spirit body of a person who has passed the trial is extremely weak, and only by passing through the Wood of the Imperial God can he become a celestial person for the first time. ”

"But the Secret Passage is different, it's just something that simply serves the Five Great Trials, so after walking out of the Dark Passage, you have to make some detours to reach the place where the Imperial Tree of God is."

This explanation makes sense.

After all, the secret passage under the Foot Corridor is only for the purpose of serving the five major trials, so it is understandable that it cannot go directly to the Wood of the Gods.

So the question now is whether the speed is faster on the side of Kitagawa Temple, or the speed is faster on the side of Ihanaraku.

Although the distance in a straight line is shorter, there is still an obstacle such as the earth spirit here, and it is difficult to reach the Sacred Tree before Ihana Raku.

Yi Hui's feet were weak.

She looked at Beichuan Temple, hoping that the other party would say a few words of comfort to her.

Under this gaze, Kitagawa Temple spoke.

It's also very simple.

"Keep walking."

With that, he took his backpack and continued walking.

The back is straight and the steps are steady.

This unflustered attitude also seems to have infected Yi Hui.

She nodded vigorously and followed behind Beichuan Temple again.

In the case of deliberately speeding up the pace, Beichuan Temple and Yi Hui Juxu quickly came out of the foot corridor and came to the next scene, the waist gate.

Torture instruments, bloodstained black, broken gates...

If it were a normal day, Kitagawa Temple would definitely take a closer look.

But now it's different.

Kitagawa Temple quickly walked into the waist with Ihan Juxu, and did not forget to ask about Ihan Naraku while advancing.

He's actually quite curious, why is Ihan Naraku so obsessed with mastering the Wood of the Gods? He even did not hesitate to cut off his own spirits.

"Perhaps... It has something to do with the previous great celestial. Yi Yanju sighed faintly and continued to reply: "The last Great Celestial wanted to convert all the islanders into Celestials, so that the islanders would not have to worry about food, shelter, and clothing..."

Under the explanation of Yi Hui Juxu, Beichuan Temple learned the whole story.

The previous Great Celestial wanted to convert all the islanders into Celestial Beings by mastering the Wood of the Gods method, but this Great Celestial failed in the end. The spirits were devoured by the desolate things that emerged from the ground, and the heavenly beings suffered heavy losses.

"In this case, Naraku-sama was sacrificed to the Wood of the Gods as a shrine maiden of the living sacrifice, and succeeded in becoming a celestial... But this is only the beginning of sorrow and terror, because Naraku-sama's teacher is the previous great celestial..."

The glory of Ihan Shrine, the transformation of celestial beings, the mastery of the Wood of God, the departure of the teacher... These made Ihan Naraku's pure good thoughts stained with obsession.

She has become paranoid and insane, and at all times she is thinking about how to master the Wood of the Gods.

But the Wood of the Gods has been passed down for so many years, and there are no longer a few people who have the idea of having the same idea as Ihanaraku.

And those people ended up with failure.

Ihanaroku was not spared.

She wanted to use the blood of the shrine maiden as a passage to enter the Wood of the Gods through her spirit body, and completely control it, so that all the islanders could become celestials.

But Ihanaroku failed completely.

This led to the tragedy of the day of Ihan twenty years ago.

"And the source of that tragedy was pushed by Naraku-sama to the shrine maiden who fled from Ihan Island at that time..."

Yi Hui's voice paused, and he just wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Beichuan Temple.

"Ihan Miko?"

"Yes... Master Kitagawa, you have let your celestials and men go to the generation to see the situation of Miko-sama, right? The punishment of the water cage left her so mentally deranged that she couldn't even remember who she was. ”

Ihanaroku blames her defeat on the shrine maiden Ihan Miko, who left the island, saying that it was because of her departure that the ritual did not succeed.

In this way, she maintained her prestige as a great celestial on the island, and at the same time was able to punish Ihan Miko for getting in the way of her plans.

Until now, Ihan Miko is still suffering from cruel punishment.

Kitagawa Temple subconsciously touched his Kagura bell, his eyes were deep.

The current Ihanaroku is nothing more than an undead spirit bound by the remnants of the previous Great Celestial.

Paranoia, madness, and although she wants all the islanders to become heavenly beings and make everyone happy, these thoughts come from her own kindness, but that kindness has completely deteriorated.

Because the kindness imposed on others is no longer goodwill, but naked malice.

Not every islander wants to be a celestial and wants to abandon his body.

But Ihanaroku doesn't think so.

To live or die is not up to the islanders themselves. And in her own paranoid and crazy thoughts.

Thinking of this, Beichuan Temple raised its head.

Not far from here, in the foreground, there are earth spirits.

......

The door of the waist and the room of the eyes, the process of this march does not need to be repeated.

In fact, it is just a process of constantly encountering and solving the earth spirits.

After absorbing the spirits of these earth spirits, the Kanji under the hands of Beichuan Temple became more and more restless.

The black blood was about to fall off completely.

"We're fast. Maybe we'll be able to reach the Okami Tree before Naraku-sama! ”

Walking in the narrow aisle, Yi Huiju was empty and full of hope.

She really didn't expect that the efficiency of Beichuan Temple would be so high, and it only took an hour to take her out of the waist and the eye room.

Now all that's left is the final skull, and as long as you get through there, you'll have a good trip.

"According to the records, the skull is just around the corner of the right turn in front of you, and if you can pass it smoothly, you will be able to go straight to the Okami no Ki."

Yi Hui Juxu explained the direction for Beichuan Temple.

And just as she explained this, Beichuan Temple took a step.

Almost a minute later, Ihui Juxu and Kitagawa Temple stopped in front of the door between the skulls.

Over here... It's between the craniums.

I don't know what is hidden in it.

Beichuan Temple and Yi Hui Juxu glanced at each other, and then stepped into it together.

There was no imaginary sight of heads hanging from the ceiling, and there were no earth spirits attacking everywhere.

In the empty room, there were only figures that exuded a faint glow.

This familiar translucent figure made Beichuan Temple's expression move.

"What is this...?" Yi Yan Juxu was about to take two steps, but was stopped by Beichuan Temple.

Kitagawa Temple motioned for her not to act arbitrarily.

In this case, Yi Hui Juxu was naturally obedient.

Seeing that she was no longer acting rashly, Beichuan Temple took the initiative to walk up and reach out to touch the figure that exuded a faint brilliance.

The dizziness of the world spinning was coming, and the surrounding scenery was stretching.

The figure just now is an afterimage.

Man strongly longs for what is formed.

So here it is...

"Between the skulls of Iki Shrine?"

Lampholders are placed on either side of the skull, and a faint light hangs from them.

And next to this faint lamp, there sat an old man in a white hunting robe.

It seems that the other party is waiting for the person who has passed the five trials to come.

This waiting process did not take long, and Beichuan Temple only stood for about ten seconds before the gate behind it opened.

A translucent young spirit floated out from behind the gate.

Under the gaze of Kitagawa Temple, the old man walked over.

He looked at the spirit that had finally passed the five trials, lowered his body, and said something to him.

But even if Beichuan Temple was closer, he couldn't hear these words, as if he was hindered by something.

But after listening to what the old man said, the young spirit could not help muttering to himself:

“... So that's how it was... Heaven... Heaven... For the sake of the islanders? ... Everything is a scam. It turns out that everything is a scam! ”

The young spirit let out a frenzied and miserable whisper.

Heaven? For the sake of the islanders? Swindle?

Hearing these brainless words, Beichuan Temple frowned.

I see.

After he had almost figured things out, the scenery around him turned over again, and everything was back to the way it was.

"Master Kitagawa, are you alright?" Yi Hui looked at Beichuan Temple who came back to his senses worriedly.

Kitagawa Temple is now the only straw for himself to save his sister, and if something happens to him, then leaving himself to face Ihan Naraku is just a waste of death.

"It's fine." Kitagawa Temple glanced at his Kagura bell again, and when he found that the Kagura bell was still properly inserted in the water bag of his backpack, he breathed a small sigh of relief: "Let's get out of here." ”

"Okay."

Yi Hui was desperate to get out of the skull as soon as possible.

She didn't want to know what happened to Kitagawa Temple.

She just wanted to hurry up and see her sister, and Yi Huiguang lived.

The two of them quickly exited through the side door between their skulls.

This side door is connected to a long corridor, and the cold aura around it has been completely dispelled, and it seems that there will be no more earth spirits to attack again.

In this case, the two of them did not have to worry about the speed of travel, and simply ran.

After about fifteen minutes, the two of them finally left the long corridor and arrived at the main hall of the shrine.

The old, boxy shrine buildings are enclosed in a neat square

In the middle, there is a giant tree that people look up to—

Wood of the Gods.

If you look closely, there are layers of humanoids under the Sacred Tree.

Behind this anthropomorphic generation, there is also a gate to the approach.

That was supposed to be the only entrance to the main hall.

It was quiet, and there was not a single ghost under the Tree of the Gods.

It seems that Kitagawa Temple and Iki Juxu really came to the side of the Okami Tree before Ikura Naraku.

Thinking of this, Beichuan Temple took Yi Hui to hide in the shadows.

Then the next thing to do is very simple -

Wait for the rabbit.
