Chapter 276: Familiarity
The group soon arrived at the top of Genting Mountain, and as soon as they came up, they saw a dilapidated shrine.
The shrine is not large and belongs to small and medium-sized shrines.
Before entering the shrine, you must first pass by the torii gate.
However, the torii gate in front of me has long been worn out by wind and rain, and the two red pillars that fix the torii have revealed the white wood inside, and the whole is pitted. The pillar on the right has completely collapsed to the ground, and without the support of the pillar on the right, the entire torii gate falls to the ground in the shape of a large boomerang.
He Mao Sheng stepped forward, looked at the Zhulian rope that fell to the ground, checked it slightly, and then sighed and shook his head, "The Zhulian rope has been completely destroyed, and the barrier of Yundao Shrine has been broken. ”
Generally, shrines with onmyoji have enchantments. The barrier is led by a rope and is set up on top of the torii. In addition to generating enchantments, it is also to prevent calamity from passing.
The calamity refers to something that is not clean.
"Judging from the damage of the torii, it should have been half a year since the seal of the Cloud Island Shrine was broken, right?" Kazuki Kimura wondered, "For more than half a year, what if the suppressed demon god had already run away?" ”
"If you run... Then we can only explain the situation to the Divine Ghost Fuming Palace. He Maosheng smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid that a team will be set up to investigate and deal with this matter at that time." ”
Kamo Saint Japan's Great Onmyoji, the god and ghost Fumeigu asked the other party to come over, mainly to learn about the situation at the Cloud Island Shrine. But although he is powerful, he has always been a cautious person, which is why he wants to invite others to investigate with him. Of course, if you get any benefits, it will naturally be distributed according to work.
If you can't find anything, it's just a trip for nothing.
Although the Yundao Shrine is reported in the Fuming Palace, it has always been outside the circle of Japanese onmyoji. And the discovery of the destruction of the Cloud Island Shrine was only discovered by a witch from the Divine Ghost Fuming Palace when she came to visit her friends. At the beginning, after seeing it, the witch did not enter the investigation, but notified the gods and ghosts of the Fuming Palace as soon as possible.
The other party obviously knew that the Cloud Island Shrine suppressed the demon god, so he didn't go deep into the shrine to die.
"According to the Divine Ghost Fuming Palace, it should have been a year since the Cloud Island Shrine was destroyed." He Maosheng sighed, "In this case, I should have notified the Divine Ghost Fuming Palace earlier, but it's a pity..."
Now that the Cloud Island Shrine is empty, it is clear that the onmyoji and shrine maidens in the shrine have suffered accidents.
Chun Yang was on the side, looking at the tragic scene, and couldn't help but say, "Why don't the people of Sakagami Village rebuild the shrine?" According to what Grandpa Kamo just said, this Cloud Island Shrine should be guarded and suppressed by the Sakagami family for generations. ”
"Because after the onmyoji and shrine maiden of the Cloud Island Shrine were destroyed, the inheritance of the Sakagami family was broken." He Maosheng didn't speak, and when she spoke, Mei Yi, her pretty face, like a little adult, with a sighing expression, "The inheritance of Yundao Shrine is that each generation of onmyoji or witch maidens selects qualified people in Sakagami Village, and then teaches them carefully. After that, he took over the responsibility of suppressing the demon god, so now the villagers of Sakagami Village don't know what the Cloud Island Shrine does, they only know that there is a Cloud Island Shrine on Cloud Island Mountain, that's all. ”
"I see." Chunyang suddenly realized.
The ordinary villagers of Sakagami Village didn't know what the Cloud Island Shrine was for, and thought it was just an ordinary shrine. Coupled with the closure of the village, the village is extremely backward and poor, and the Yundao Shrine is now like this, and if you want to rebuild the Yundao Shrine, it is estimated that every family needs to pay for it to rebuild. But the roads built by Sakagami Village are all gravel roads, not concrete roads, and if they pay to rebuild the Cloud Island Shrine, no one will do it.
Perhaps the first generation of people in Sakagami Village knew about the duties of the Cloud Island Shrine, but now that more than a thousand years have passed, I am afraid that only the Onmyoji and shrine maidens of the Cloud Island Shrine know about it.
They also don't take the initiative to tell the people in the village, because it causes panic.
Hearing this, Kazuki Kimura looked ahead, and the entire shrine had collapsed. It's just that this scene made him feel familiar.
Thinking about it, Kazuki Kimura came to the shrine. Although the shrine in front of you has been completely damaged, you can still vaguely see what it looked like before it was destroyed.
And this scene made the familiarity in his mind a little more.
"Where is the place where the Cloud Island Shrine suppressed the seal?"
"We'll have to look for it." He Maosheng looked helpless.
"Okay, then we'll split up." Kazuki Kimura pulled Haruka and instructed, "Follow me." ”
"Hmm!" Haruka responded heavily, and Furuhashi Sakura looked at her daughter with excitement and couldn't help but pout.
He Maosheng naturally had no opinion, and he also let Asuka and Mei follow him. Although it takes a long time to find the seal in this way, it is also a little safer.
And the Yundao Shrine itself is not big, so it doesn't take much effort to explore.
In just half an hour, a white paper crane flew over, and under Haruka's curious gaze, the paper crane suddenly spoke, "Lord Kimura, I have found the sealing point." Please follow me! ”
Listen to the sound, it's a bird.
Chunyang's eyes flashed with love, and it was obvious that the thousand paper cranes could still communicate, and this ability made her yearn for it a little.
Kazuki Kimura didn't speak, and just followed.
Within a few minutes, the two came to a room. Unlike the Cloud Island Shrine, this house is a stone house, but it is intact.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw the three of He Maosheng, and the thousand paper cranes flew into the hands of the birds, turned into a yellow talisman, and were carefully put away by the birds. Seeing Chunyang's gaze, Asuka smiled, and said in a boastful tone, "This is a thousand paper crane talismans, which are used to transmit news." However, the flaw is also obvious, the distance of communication is too short, and I am still researching how to make the Thousand Paper Crane Charm communicate thousands of miles. ”
The Thousand Paper Crane Charm is obviously a bit chicken in modern times, after all, as long as you have a mobile phone, you can completely explode the Thousand Paper Crane Charm. But the Thousand Paper Crane Talisman was developed by Asuka, and he has to show it off when he's fine.
Mei Yi next to her was speechless.
"Here?" Kimura and Shuki didn't have any strange colors about the Thousand Paper Crane Talisman, he had seen a lot of talismans, and there were talismans of any effect. In front of him, the bird is completely insignificant.
"The residence of the Onmyoji of the Cloud Island Shrine in the past dynasties." He Maosheng stood at a table, he bent slightly, holding a dusty wooden lamp on the table, twisting slightly.
The next moment, Kimura and Tree saw that the whole table was sinking. In less than a moment, a passage into the ground was revealed.
The mechanism is obvious, but Kimura and Kazuki also know that I'm afraid that the Onmyoji of Cloud Island Shrine lives here just to suppress the demon god at all times. In addition, the onmyoji outside doesn't come very often, so even if the mechanism is obvious, outsiders won't know about it.
Kazuki Kimura and Kamo looked at each other, and then spoke first, "I'll go in first." ”
He Mao bowed his head and was not polite.
He is an onmyoji, and Kazuki Kimura is a sword cultivator.
According to the circle of Japanese monks, it is an unspoken rule for sword cultivation to take the lead.
