Chapter 153. Maki-e (23rd Update)
Kitagawa Temple didn't care about the fallen bookshelves.
He walked straight to the body of the head of the Divine Residence first.
Nine years had passed, and the corpse had shriveled up, like air-dried jerky, and it felt like it could be torn open with a single tear.
There were still many scar marks on the shriveled corpse.
It seems that at that time, the Knife Witch did abuse the corpse of the other party after the death of the head of the divine house.
This brutal and sadistic attitude...
Kitagawa Temple was silent for a while.
But he also got a piece of information.
The Knife Maiden is a product born through Kazu.
Although it is still unclear about the identity information of the other party, seeing the actions of the head of the god before his death, he can also know that the soul-attracting flower must have a suppressive or even exorcist effect on the knife witch.
Kitagawa Temple stretched out his hand and groped up and down the shriveled corpse.
A paperwork-like scroll fell into his hands.
"Sure enough, there's something hidden."
Kitagawa Temple's eyes flashed.
The importance of this document being carried by the head of the house before his death is evident.
Most of the paperwork was stained with black blood, but there was no problem at all when it was opened.
Kitagawa Temple stuck the flashlight under his armpit and flipped through it with both hands.
This document is actually about the ritual of the divine flower welcome!
Rao is Beichuan Temple also flashed a trace of excitement in his heart.
After such a long investigation, he finally caught the clue!
I saw that the ancient texts wrote:
'The god is stationed at the shrine, and the god flowers welcome the ceremony. β
'The Divine Flower Greeting Ceremony is a ritual created through the Soul Suppression Twins. β
'Every forty-five years, there must be a ceremony to welcome the flowers. β
'The Divine Flower, that is, the Guiding Soul Flower, uses the Soul Attracting Flower as a passage to open the way to the Hidden Spring and the Underworld, and the Woe Jin will also enter the Yellow Spring. β
And during these forty-five years, there will inevitably be twin births in the Miyakimoto family. β
'The eldest and second daughters should immediately perform a ritual of soul attraction to enhance their inspiration, and use this as a soul twin. β
The eldest daughter was raised by the Shin family, and the second daughter was raised by the Ma Gong family. β
'The Soul Calming Twins who have performed the ritual of soul attraction are highly inspired, and their pure blood can make soul attraction blossom. β
'Merge the two master keys to open the Gate. β
'Inject the soul-calming twin pure blood into the dark gate with a quiet lady. β
Remember, the twin blood must be pure. β
Otherwise, it will not be able to suppress the calamity, but it will make the calamity rampant." β
Those who are plagued by violent calamities will be turned into calamities. β
'Charms, prayers, kagura, and purifications are useless. β
If you want to send the 'calamity' back into the Yellow Spring, you need to start the ritual again. β
The record is gone here.
Beichuan Temple, who had received so much information at once, couldn't help but take a breath.
He quickly began to gather his thoughts.
First of all, the important information recorded in the document is the period of forty-five years, the key to the head of the house of the god and the family of the Ma Palace, the blood of the twins, and the calamity.
"Let's reminisce first." Kitagawa Temple muttered to himself.
The first is the forty-five years.
Fuyuko Asamiya's diary states that her ceremony was held in the 40th year of Showa.
Showa 40, that is, in 1965.
And the village of God was destroyed nine years ago, in 2010.
The failure of the ceremony led to the arrival of Katsu, and at the same time as the arrival of Katsu, the villagers who held the Yamano-Shape ceremony at the foot of the mountain were buried by a mudslide.
The village of God was destroyed.
Regardless of whether it is the Ma Gong family or the Shen Zhu family, no one survives.
Then there is the key to the head of the house of the god resident house and the Ma Gong family.
If you guessed correctly, the key to the Shinju's house should be paired with the key to the Asamiya family.
This is also the main reason why the keys to the Asamiya family are only half.
"It turns out that the reason why the key that Asamiya Fuyuko gave me is only half because to open the door of the secluded realm, it is necessary to merge the two keys of the god residence and the assuma palace."
Kitagawa Temple muttered to himself.
The keys to the Asamiya family are in his waist bag.
He didn't have to go back the way he came to get the keys.
Next is the blood of the Soul Suppressor Twins.
According to the records, if the blood of the twins is not pure, the ritual will fail.
And the failure of the ritual will produce 'woe'.
That should be the body of the knife witch seen in Kitagawa Temple.
"That is to say... The god is indeed one of the Soul Suppression Twins..."
Kitagawa Temple thought of the memories he saw.
In his memory, Kamiju Hiiragi met a young man and fell in love with that young man.
It was precisely because of this that her blood was no longer pure, and eventually led to ritual riotsβ
After that, it's the most important thing.
The identity of the 'woe'.
If Kitagawa Temple is not mistaken, the 'woe', that is, the knife witch, should be the maiden.
The lady was caught up in the calamity, turned into a 'calamity', and slaughtered the people who were separated from the family and the family where the god was stationed.
"There should be nothing wrong with this reasoning."
With the current clues, this can only be the idea.
But Kitagawa Temple always felt as if he was missing something.
Is there a fatal flaw in your own reasoning?
"Those things... It must be investigated. β
Until then, this inference has been used as a reference.
Kitagawa Temple gently pinched the ebony hairpin.
God Reside Hiiragi...
The ritual of direct failure ...
The most important thing is the inexplicable sense of disobedience...
The eerie cold feeling still lingered around his neck, making him uncomfortable all over.
Kitagawa Temple shook his head with a deep groan and walked into the room.
The last place where the head of the house came was the study.
This can be seen by looking at the toppled bookshelves outside.
Kitagawa Temple slammed the flashlight at the desk on the other side.
On top of the desk are many books.
Before his death, the head of the god's resident family seems to have consulted a lot of information here.
In the middle is a diary with a pale yellow cover.
The diary had already been spread out, and the words on it could be seen at a glance at Kitagawa Temple.
The words that were densely packed together, unwilling and crazy.
'Why failed, why failed, why failed, why failed, why failed, why failed, why failed, why failed? ...β
Obviously, there was a lot of information piled up here that didn't answer his confusion.
Beichuan Temple couldn't help but flip the notepad forward.
"Huh?"
The above record made him a little strange, and the sense of disobedience in his heart became heavier and heavier.
I saw that the note page on this page reads:
I'm a little concerned about what Eternal said, but the ritual has to be started again anyway. β
'Maki-e... Will they be able to take on their own mission? β
But no matter what, there's no turning back for that kid... That's her fate. β
Let's hope the ceremony goes smoothly." β
She's also a wonderful shrine maiden. β
Further down, the head of the god-resident family doesn't seem to be in the mood to continue writing a diary.
But his words made Beichuan Temple have huge doubts.
Maki-e?
Maki-e again?
