Altar of the Four Directions. Each corresponds to four different phases of the moon.

At this time, the four shrines had been re-drilled out of the ground, and the tops of their altars were lit up by moonlight, and the entire Shifang shrine was shrouded in a thin layer of moonlight.

Under this moonlight, the spirits and desolate things melted painfully like wax.

This also cleared the way forward for Kitagawa Temple and 'Shikata Kaguya'.

They walked towards the Altar of the Lower Quarter Moon in the east.

During this period, the 'Four Directions Kaguya' did not forget to explain the reason: "As you can see, the first New Moon Altar is in the extreme west direction, so the fifth New Moon Altar also corresponds to the direction of the extreme east, it is hidden in the corner behind the Lower Quarter Moon Altar, so it is not known to the clan. This is likewise related to the law of the moon's phase motion. ”

"Probably how long it will take." Kitagawa Temple asked in an unchanged voice.

"It's coming. It's only a fifteen-minute walk from here. "'Sifang Kaguya' responded simply.

Fifteen minutes...?

Beichuan Temple groaned, glanced thoughtfully at the calm Moon Lake on the left, and without saying a word, followed behind the Sifang Kaguya.

Not long after, a towering altar appeared in front of Kitagawa Temple and Shifang Kaguya.

The top of the altar had been lit up, and a soft white light radiated in all directions.

At the bottom of the altar there is also the moon mark of the last quarter moon.

"This is the Altar of the Lower Quarter Moon, and if you continue to walk back, you will see the fifth altar."

'Quartet Kaguya' explained, and continued to go deeper without looking back.

And Beichuan Temple is also following step by step, basically maintaining the rhythm of a few steps in the night of the four directions, and he will walk a few steps.

If you look closely, you will find that Kitagawa Temple not only has the same number of steps as Shikaya Kaguya, but it is almost the place where 'Shikata Kaguya' stepped on one second, and Kitagawa Temple will follow in the next second.

Tsk –

'Sifang Kaguya' smacked his lips.

How shrewd is this young man behind him?

She originally wanted to use the mechanism set up by the Sifang family near the altar to kill the Beichuan Temple, but the other party followed behind her, and only if she stepped on it, confirm the safe place, and the Beichuan Temple would step on it.

'Sifang Kaguya' took a deep breath, too lazy to continue to bother with these places.

She still has to save some energy to snatch the elixir of immortality.

In her thoughts, the two of them finally came to the entrance of the fifth altar.

Unlike the four open-air altars in front of them, this one is located in a mountain cave.

The vertical light of the flashlight shines into it, and you can't see the bottom at all.

The light seemed to be absorbed by something.

"This is the fifth shrine that has been hidden by the Sifang family for generations..."'Sifang Kaguya''s eyes were deep.

She had already fallen twice in a row in front of the elixir of immortality.

The first time was as the fall of the four directions Kaguya.

The second time he seized the body of the four directions of Mochizuki, he tried again, but the result was still a failure.

This time is the third time.

I've got the moon goggles, the moon obscurity mirror... No matter how you think about it, you can't fail.

The Quartet family did their best.

The secret elixir of immortality that has been left behind for hundreds of years...

'Kaguya' body trembled.

She suppressed the excitement in her voice, tried to keep her mind calm, and said, "Let's go." ”

Sifang Kazuya stepped into the mountain cave, and Beichuan Temple also followed step by step.

The interior of this mountain cave is unexpectedly large.

The yin wind whistling from nowhere blew from his face, as sharp as a knife.

Kitagawa Temple held a flashlight in his hand and observed the surroundings.

There were corpses in the cave.

But rather than a corpse, it is better to describe it as a human remains.

The remains of rags and sackcloth, the bones of Mori Mori, lay on the ground in various tragic forms.

They were all killed by an ancient, unknown institution.

"Waist slashes, poison gases, wooden cones piercing, bows and arrows... There are always people in the world who are interested in the law of immortality, and for this, they are also willing to give their lives. ”

The sound of 'Kaguya in the Four Directions' came from ahead.

Again, that's the same sentence.

Man's greed is endless.

They are willing to give their lives for an illusory 'immortal'.

Even if the possibility of being able to achieve immortality is close to zero.

"I'm the same at this point." The Quartet Kazuya in front of him stopped, turned his face sideways and looked at Beichuan Temple: "Even Master Beichuan... If an opportunity to immortalize was presented to you, would you give it up? ”

Kitagawa Temple was silent.

All he did was turn off his flashlight and look up at the scene in front of him.

Lake.

The secluded waters of the lake.

These lakes are water from the Moon Lake.

Beichuan Temple can feel the rich atmosphere of yellow springs.

And floating on the water of this moon lake is the five-layer concentric circle altar that rises one after another.

"It's... The fifth altar. ”

The staircase leading to the very top of the altar is erected with stone lanterns.

A white halo was shining in the lamp base.

Endless moonlight sloping down from the big hole at the top of the mountain.

These moonlights were absorbed by the crystal clear things on the stone pedestal at the apex of the altar.

This crystal clear thing rises and falls, and the white halo is full of vitality.

"That's the elixir of immortality." 'Quartet Kaguya' looked up, his tone full of obsession and fanaticism.

But Beichuan Temple, who was on the side, did not act recklessly because of the elixir of immortality in her words, and he looked downward.

There was a corpse on the altar stairs.

It was a female corpse wearing a white kimono with a half-moon hair ornament on her head.

She was fair-skinned and slender, and looked as if she had just died.

It should be the corpse of the four directions Mochizuki.

Due to the fact that the four sides of Kaguya occupied the body and failed to take the medicine, he stayed here.

Sifang Kaguya glanced sideways at Beichuan Temple, and after finding that the other party did not act rashly, he could only sigh quietly.

Her idea of using the powerful enchantment arranged around the altar to greatly damage the vitality of Beichuan Temple was frustrated.

But that's okay too.

Sifang Kaguya held up the round mirror hanging on his chest:

"This altar is surrounded by a powerful barrier, which can only be lifted by combining the Lunar Mirror and the Lunar Mirror as a key... Back then, I only relied on the spirit tool of the Moon Mirror to forcibly climb the fifth staircase, and I was only one step away from the elixir of immortality... But in the end, it still failed. My spirit was severely damaged by the barrier, and I finally returned to the Moonlight Mirror, barely breathing. ”

But now it's different.

'Sifang Kaguya' flipped the round mirror twice in a special way, and then the white fingers pulled out a rich moonlight and shot towards the apex of the altar.

It was like a key inserted into a keyhole, and a crisp and audible sound came from mid-air.

Click!

The entire barrier vanished.

The next moment, a gray geist suddenly sprang out from the body of the four directions.

And her target, without exception, is the elixir of immortality suspended in mid-air.

This time, the other party not only abandoned his body, but even ignored the combination of the Moon Mirror and the Moon Mirror suspended in mid-air.

As long as you can get the elixir of immortality!

She didn't want to think about anything!

Without hesitation, Kitagawa Temple aimed the kanji in his hand at the spirit that flew away in mid-air!

But—

The geist in the air ignored it, ate the blow of the contemporary, snorted, and continued to fly towards the elixir of immortality.

About a third of her spirit body was cut off by Kitagawa Temple's Kaneda, but at the same time, she also came to the side of the elixir of immortality.

Wild laughter rang out from above the altar again.

Kitagawa Temple held the fallen Quartet Kazuya with one hand and looked up.

The crystal clear elixir of immortality has been pinched into the other party's hand.

"Master Beichuan..."The main body of the Quartet Kaguya woke up, she looked at the Beichuan Temple holding her, her fair face was full of apologies: "Why for people like me... Give up the elixir of immortality..."

When her body is controlled by another Sifang Kaguya, she can also know what is going on in the outside world.

To be honest, when she heard that Kitagawa Temple was willing to give the elixir of immortality to another Kaguya, she couldn't stop the emotions in her heart.

For the sake of my own mayfly-like existence... Kitagawa Temple was willing to make such a sacrifice.

She wanted to reach out and touch Kitagawaji's face, but he flashed expressionlessly.

Under her gaze, Beichuan Temple still had the same frowning expression, and it was still the same familiar sentence.

"I have a girlfriend."

Listening to the words of Kitagawa Temple, the Quartet Kaguya was stunned at first.

Subsequently... I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It's already time like this, what the hell is this person talking about...? What the hell does he care about?

He doesn't care about the elixir of immortality, but he is willing to lend a helping hand to him.

Turning a blind eye to the impending crisis, and being able to seriously say things like 'I have a girlfriend'...

I really don't know if he lacks a sense of crisis or something...

Kaguya couldn't help but think.

But... Maybe that's enough.

She gently stroked the Nara deer hairpin above her hair.

Being able to die with someone who cares so much about herself, maybe it is also the last bit of comfort that God sees that she is so pitiful.

"First of all, I don't plan to die here." Kitagawa Temple suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, the Quartet Kazuya was stunned.

In this case, is there a way to break the game in Beichuan Temple?

Although I don't know the specific effect of the elixir of immortality, it is a secret medicine that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Sifang family, and its effect must be very amazing.

Now that it's a certain death situation, why does Beichuan Temple still look calm?

"Look at it." Kitagawa Temple raised his head and looked into the air.

There, another four-way Kaguya had completely swallowed the elixir of immortality into his own spirit.

She could feel it.

The dark wounds in the perennial spirit body were soothed and repaired by the immortal medicine, and even the spirit body that had just been cut off by the Beichuan Temple was gradually recovering.

The vigorous power poured in in an instant, and she was completely reborn.

She looked at the Beichuan Temple who was hugging the Sifang Kaguya, and grinned, "Beichuan! Looks like this time I won! No matter what conspiracy you have next, it's useless! ”

Beichuan Temple ignored what she said, but took out a few volumes of old documents bound with knotted ropes from his backpack, and said to himself:

"Actually, when I was investigating the past of the Sifang family, I found something that I was very concerned about. As a moon shrine maiden, you've probably heard of the place 'Obscure Hall'. ”

"Obscure time?" The four directions in the air were stunned.

She pointed to Beichuan Temple with some astonishment, and couldn't help but be surprised in her tone: "You mean... You went to the Hall of Obscurity, which is guarded by the spirits of the four directions? ”

"Not bad." Kitagawa Temple nodded in response.

The four directions in the air Kaguya could no longer keep calm when he heard this:

"How is that possible! Spirit of the Quartet... It was the human pillar spirit body that had guarded the Hall of Obscure Time for generations, and it had been eaten by the people of the Quartet with blood all year round... I couldn't have solved it even back then... How can you possibly break through it ... Belch. ”

She thought about it.

Beichuan Temple is a person who can even beat himself who has obtained the Moon Mirror and the Moon Mirror, and a Quartet Spirit is indeed completely unable to stop him.

But so what?

Now that she has swallowed the elixir of immortality, Beichuan Temple has no way to take her.

Just as she was thinking like this, the Beichuan Temple below spoke thoughtfully: "It's almost time." ”

"It's almost time... Hmm-"

The face of the Quartet Kazuya in mid-air changed drastically.

The screams were heard in the next moment!

Her originally gray geist spirit body was stained with jet-black resentment!

This sudden change made the four directions Kaguya lying in the arms of Beichuan Temple stunned.

This... What's going on?

The surface of the spirit body squirmed like a blister, and the 'Sifang Kaguya' in mid-air looked at Beichuan Temple with difficulty: "You... What was done to me? ”

"It's not like I've done anything to you." Beichuan Temple shook his head: "It's that the immortal medicine you took was originally a defective and defective product." ”

He spread out a scroll of notebooks and glanced away:

'The elixir of immortality. This is what the Sifang family has pursued for generations, and it is infinitely alive from the bright moonlight, and then it is contaminated with the air of yellow springs through the water of the moonlit lake. ’

In this way, the nature of the elixir of immortality is more inclined to the hidden world. ’

'The ancestors believed that only by combining the breath of the Yellow Spring with the moonlight to balance the elixir of immortality could the spirit and physical body truly transform and become a truly immortal existence... The people of Penglai in the Moon Palace. ’

But we failed. The elixir of immortality and the contamination of the Yellow Spring's Qi can indeed maintain balance, but we missed a little. It's hidden in the Moonlit Lake... The resentment passed by Huang Quan. As mentioned earlier, the Yellow Spring's Qi can change the nature of the elixir of immortality, and the resentment that stacks up day after day, year after year, can also change the elixir of immortality. ’

'The Sifang family has suppressed Huangquan for many years, just to obtain the medicine of immortality, and now that such a mistake occurs, if it is known by some people, the prestige of the Sifang Shrine and the Sifang family will be dealt an unprecedented blow. Therefore, it is necessary to conceal the information that the elixir of immortality is a defective product. ’

'The medicine of immortality is not yet finished, so it must not be tampered with. It needs to be sealed with an enchantment and guarded by the clansmen. Until a solution is found, do not move without permission. ’

'The Spirit Tool Moon Mirror serves as the key to open the enchantment, and you can only open the enchantment if you are sure enough. ’

Remember, only the chiefs of the four directions should have access to the contents of the documents, and the rest of those who knew the contents of the documents should be divided by the penalty of beheading. ’

Yes.

"From the very beginning, the purpose of the enchantment was not to protect the elixir of immortality, but to suppress the resentment within."

Beichuan Temple closed the paperwork, looked at the terrifying resentful spirit that was already approaching madness in mid-air, and said in a calm tone:

"It's just that because the previous head of the family died in the calamity of the Dark Moon, this information was not transmitted, so no one in the current Sifang family knows about it."

Yes. All the faults stemmed from the fact that Kaguya in mid-air gave up her mission as the witch of the moon, leading to the arrival of the moon and the death of the head of the house.

And now, she has also eaten the bitter fruits of the year.

Kitagawa Temple knew all this from the beginning.

From beginning to end, he just watched the other party dig a hole by himself and jump into it by himself.
