Chapter 132. Shrine (2nd Shift)

Kinoshita Kyu was overtaken by Kitagawa Temple.

Of course, Kitagawa Temple doesn't know if it's overdue.

He just plunged a knife into the opponent's head, flipped his wrist and turned it around several times in the opponent's head.

It shouldn't be a lot of pain, right?

After all, the other party didn't even let out a cry of pain.

Kitagawa Temple shook his head.

These things were not on his radar.

All he needs to do is keep a record of everything as it is.

Accompanied by the crisp prompt sound of the system, 1.5 skill points are started.

"It seems that the Shenzhu Mountain does have the effect of confusing the minds of ordinary people."

More than once in the notes of the victims, statements such as 'the mountain is calling to me' and 'the mountain will become one with me' have appeared more than once.

It can also be seen from here that the mountain is indeed extraordinary.

"The Spiritual Field... Luckily, it's not too famous. ”

Kitagawa Temple muttered.

If there are really young people who know about the anomalies here, it is estimated that there will be no more corpses in the mountain.

After all, there are many young people who like adventure activities in this world, and many young people also make a special trip to ask where the spiritual attraction of Beichuan Temple is on the website.

"Let's keep going inside."

Shenmusen has already reached the halfway point of the journey, and there is no reason for Beichuan Temple to stop.

He rubbed Nishikujo's poor little head and walked deeper into the forest.

But before he could take two steps, a huge rock rose in front of him to block the way.

Perhaps it is the product of the landslides in the past nine years.

This boulder is just in front of you, blocking all the roads on the left, and on the right is a cliff, and it is a jungle of thorns, and if you can't see your feet, you can easily fall into the mountain stream.

If it were an ordinary person, it was estimated that he would have to go home now, but Beichuan Temple was obviously not an ordinary person.

His dead aura has been raised to medium, and he has a certain shaping ability, coupled with his sharp balance and excellent physical fitness, it is not much of a problem to overcome the obstacles in front of him.

Kitagawa Temple greeted Nishikujo pitifully: "Poor, hold on." ”

After Nishikujo nodded pitifully and signaled that it was ready, Kitagawa Temple stepped on it, and the whole person jumped high.

He stepped on the smooth surface of the stone and rose up a certain height, and then threw it with a sharp and steady sound into the top stone face.

The dead qi contracted suddenly, and with the help of the power of the seizure that was submerged in the stone, Kitagawa Temple stood firm on the smooth stone face, and the strength that had been accumulated under his feet exploded, and the whole person directly crossed the boulder and fell from a high place.

At the moment of landing, Beichuan Temple crouched down accurately, and unloaded a lot of strength with his back.

After doing this, he looked ahead.

When you walk out of the path of the Kamiki Forest, you will naturally see the shrine in front of you.

At a cursory glance, there should have been more than 40 steps on the approach, and the torii gate, which had faded from vermilion to a miserable red, was paved in units of 10 steps, like a giant beak of a resentful spirit.

Note: The ropes are connected together, overlapping and topping—

To be honest, this approach height is not too high.

At the bottom of the approach are stone lamps erected on both sides, and from a distance, the deep dark light hole looks like a spiral vortex.

Kitagawa Temple doesn't care about any of this.

He moved under his feet, crossed the stone lamp path, and came to the bottom of the approach.

At this time, he realized that there were not only ropes on both sides of the approach, but also small paper lamps hanging.

After years of baptism, it is basically in tatters.

The approach is paved with sand and gravel.

This is closer to the standard of Japanese shrine approach.

Legend has it that walking over these sand and rocks in the 'realm of the gods' cleanses the soul of the human heart.

But—

"The torii gate is different."

The attentive Kitagawa Temple soon noticed the difference.

The red torii is roughly the same as the Inari torii, but if you look closely, it is not a wooden torii but a stone torii.

Not only that, but there is no Kasagi that is common to torii gates, and there is only a single island wood, which seems lonely.

The platform stone that supports the bottom of the torii stone pillar is also different from the general table stone.

If Kitagawa Temple is not mistaken, it should be in the shape of a flower.

A bewitching flower full of poignant beauty.

Flowers wrap around the stone pillars, as if giving the torii a soul.

Only simple characters were left on the forehead of the torii.

'Divine residence'.

This torii gate is so deviant that Kitagawa Temple can't tell for a moment what form of torii is closer to the shrine.

But with flowers as the bedstone -

"This flower... Could it be a soul-attracting flower? ”

Kitagawa Temple stroked it carefully.

This stone flower seems to have its own pulse, which is very strange and strange.

Beichuan Temple stood up again after touching it for a while, looking at the Sando that was not very long, but his senses were inexplicably long, and his mood did not fluctuate at all.

If you are scared because of this, then don't talk about completing tasks and commissions.

He took a deep breath and took the first step on the approach.

And at what moment he stepped on the approach—

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Flames suddenly rose from the empty paper lamps on both sides, and the flames rose upwards like a line.

The stone lamp behind him was already flickering at some point.

This flame did not bring the slightest warmth to Beichuan Temple, but there was an indescribable sense of coldness that swept over the upper body.

Anyway... Beichuan Temple couldn't feel the slightest sense of welcome from this malicious flame.

Beichuan Temple did not hesitate, and there was no reason to turn back when he took the first step.

He took one step at a time, step by step.

From now on, he will officially step into the spiritual realm of the Divine Residence Mountain.

......

The approach of more than 40 steps is actually not too long, but Kitagawa Temple always feels uncomfortable.

The closer you get to the shrine, the stronger this discomfort becomes, and it can only be alleviated when the dead air is running.

"It's... Shinto shrine. ”

Kitagawa Temple glanced over.

The shrine covers a large area.

There is no such thing as a hand water bowl at a shrine, which is a place to wash your hands for purifying your soul and calming your mind.

In its place is the entire shrine complex built on the water.

Originally, the shrine was not located on the land, but on a pond of water.

The height of the roof of the shrine is about six meters, and the layout is rigorous.

A quaint wooden path stretches from the foot of Kitagawa Temple, paved above the water as a path.

It's just that some parts of the trail have been flooded with black pond water.

Of course, Kitagawa Temple chose to walk on the wooden path.

And just when Beichuan Temple was looking around, a feeling of coldness suddenly rushed towards him!

I saw that in the pool water, there were more than a dozen corpses floating!

Shrine maidens, priests... The Great Priest...

They stared at Kitagawa Temple with round eyes.

That kind of dead and blind look makes people feel chills in their hearts just by looking at it.
