According to the saying of Asamiya Eternal, Beichuan Temple came to the second vermilion dwarf pillar inside.

"It's the column in front of you. That's the tenth. Asamiya reminded again.

"Hmm." Kitagawa Temple plucked the tenth ema with one hand and swept his eyes away.

Marriage Ema, most of which are recorded in the other party's hope to have a good marriage with whom, pray for the blessing of the gods.

The content on this ema is no exception, but unlike those that leave lengthy content, the content on this ema is surprisingly simple.

'Prayer,I hope to marry the four directions of Mochizuki.。 Invoker: Quartet Bunji. ’

Quartet...

This should be the real name of the male resentful spirit that Kitagawa Temple saw in the wooden cage prison just now.

And the Sifang Mochizuki here should be the person that Shifang Bunji likes, and the 'she' recorded in the blood-stained documents.

And...

"There's another piece of Ema attached to this Eima..."Beichuan Temple pulled the red rope of the Eima and took off the Ema attached to it.

The content of this piece of ema is basically the same as that of the piece of Edma of Shifang Bunji.

'Prayer,Hope to marry the four square bunji.。 Supplicant: Looking at the moon in all directions. ’

Juanxiu's fine words remain on the surface of Ema.

This is exactly the ema left behind by the aforementioned Shifang Mochizuki.

The content is the same. It seems that this Quartet Mochizuki also likes Quartet Bunji very much, and the two of them are in love with each other.

So why did the Quartet family forcibly tear the two apart? Just falling in love won't end up in a wooden cage, right?

Kitagawa Temple repeatedly played with the two pieces of Ema wood in his hand, and then, as if sensing something, the flashlight in his hand turned inward, and his eyes turned to it.

There is also a small round table in the innermost part of the wedding hall.

On the innermost small round table was a vermilion notebook.

Behind the notebook sat an elderly woman with a withered face and atrophied arm muscles.

This elderly woman was dressed in a black kimono and looked like a middleman who introduced the wedding.

Beichuan Temple subconsciously opened the vision of dead air, and then groaned.

There is no resentment in the old woman in front of her, just a simple, shadow caused by human thoughts.

A person who can write a vermilion notebook in this kind of wedding hall... I think she should be the one in charge of the marriage affairs of the Sifang family.

Just as Kitagawa Temple was thinking, the remnant image of the old woman raised her head as if she was aware of it and looked at Kitagawa Temple.

No... No, it shouldn't be looking at Beichuan Temple.

Instead, he looked at the doorway behind Kitagawa Temple.

A hint of sadness flashed in her dark and cloudy eyes. A faint sigh was also heard: "Mochizuki... Poor man... If your affairs are discovered... Alas, why are you doing this? ”

Plenilune?

Kitagawa Temple looked behind him with a moving expression.

Empty gates.

The shimmering waves of the lake are reflected by the gate.

Other than that, there is nothing.

By the time Beichuan Temple turned her head again, the old woman had completely turned into resentment and disappeared.

Why bother...?

What did Quartet Mochizuki do to make the old woman sigh like this?

From the point of 'your business', it can be seen that the old woman should be referring to the love affair between the four directions of Mochizuki and the four directions of Bunji.

Could it be that it is because the Quartet Mochizuki has a noble status, and the Quartet Wenzhi is from a humble background, so he is not allowed to fall in love?

Beichuan Temple couldn't figure it out for the time being, he stretched out his hand to pick up the vermilion record book on the desk, held the flashlight with one hand, pinched the footer of the record book with the other, and opened it.

In the old, dusty wedding book it is written:

'The Legend of the Moonlit Night Painted Horse and the Quartet Magatama in the Book of Moonlight Weddings:'

'The moon connects the world, and the moon is the final destination of the human soul. Therefore, there is also a legend of ema on a moonlit night. As long as you come to the Moonlight Wedding Hall in the night when the moon is high, and connect the Ema wood chips with the beloved Eima wood chips with red ropes, the souls of the two will be connected with the red rope by the moonlight. ’

It turns out that Ema is connected to such a thing.

Kitagawa Temple nodded secretly and continued to look down.

'The legend of the Quarta Magatama. ’

'Moon Mountain has always believed in the moon and worshiped the moon. The square magatama is round and represents the shape of the moon and also symbolizes the 'intact soul'. ’

The man gave it to the woman with a full moon that he had painstakingly polished, and his representative entrusted his soul to the other party. After the woman accepts the male magatama, it means that the woman agrees to accept the man's love, even if she is the daughter of the head of the family, she cannot repent. ’

Seeing this, Beichuan Temple can be regarded as understanding.

He took out the very coarsely polished square magatama from his pocket.

It turns out that in the system notes, 'I want to find my other half' means to find my other half's soul.

So the other half of Magatama should be left on the body of the four directions, right?

And...

'Let not even the daughter of the head of the house repent'.

This sentence is somewhat intriguing.

The idea of Kitagawa Temple just now was also self-defeating.

Maybe the status of Quartet Mochizuki is noble, but since she has accepted the Magatama of Quartet Bunji, her family should have no room to break the contract.

After all, the traditional customs recorded in the "Moon Ghost Wedding Book"... Even the head of the family would not dare to disobey it.

Even if he breaches the contract strongly, it is impossible to forcibly put the Quartet in a wooden cage prison, after all, this matter is the fault of the other party.

But then there is a contradiction.

Quartet Mochizuki and Quartet Bunji are in love, and the two of them each hold Magatama, so no one should be able to interfere with their relationship anymore.

But the reality is that the four directions don't know where to be locked up, and the four directions are escorted to the wooden cage prison, and finally the body is torn apart by the desolate things gushing out of the moon lake.

Thinking of this, Kitagawa Temple turned to look at Kagura Bell and called out, "Eternity." ”

"What's the matter? Temple-kun? Asamiya Eisei came out of Kagura Bell with a somewhat puzzled expression.

"There's a question I want to ask you."

Beichuan Temple put down the vermilion paperwork, and there was some seriousness in his expression.

As soon as she saw Beichuan Temple's expression, Asamiya Yongshi's originally puzzled expression disappeared, she straightened up and looked at the other party seriously: "Please speak." ”

The more realistic appearance of the two made the god-resident Makie who had been shrunk in the Kagura bell float out with some curiosity.

On the other side, Nishikujo, who was lying on the shoulder of Beichuan Temple, also quietly pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Under their behavior, Beichuan Temple's face did not hesitate, and he simply spoke neatly.

The content is very simple.

It was so simple that Asamiya Yongshi didn't think about it at all, and subconsciously answered.

"Is your chastity still there?"

"It's still there."

Quiet –

The air fell silent abruptly.

Kitagawa Temple asked decisively.

Asamiya replied attentively and seriously.

But...

Well...?

Well?????

Belch...

Asamiya Yongshi's face trembled rapidly, and even if her face as a good spirit could not be flushed, she could see that she was now shaken to the extreme.

What did Si-kun just ask me?

Is chastity still there?

Asamiya Eternal only felt that his brain was a mess, and his mouth opened and closed.

According to the easy-to-understand translation of Beichuan Temple's question, it is actually equivalent to asking Asamiya Yongshi, 'Are you still a virgin?' ’。

What about your own answer?

How could I be so reasonable... Saying such a rude thing in front of the temple king?!

She 'ahhh I'm really sorry! I actually said such a rude thing in front of the temple... No... It's such a vulgar, such an unpalatable word... Ahhh Please forgive me! ”

Asamiya Yongshi's face was full of shame, and she hurriedly lowered her head and bowed again and again to Beichuan Temple.

The way she looked looked at the god on the other side, Maki-e was stunned.

Makie opened his mouth, and it took a long time for him to react and mutter, "Isn't this what Kitagawa asked you himself?" Shouldn't the problem be Kitagawa's problem? ”

"How is that possible!" Asamiya Yongshi turned his head sideways and asked as a matter of course: "How can there be a problem with Sijun?" ”

“... I—" Kamiju Makie's eyes widened in shock.

Asamiya Yongshi's words were so unreasonable that she couldn't think of any words to refute the other party for a while.

Then she heard the words that Ma Gong Yongshi should have said: "Since there is no problem with Sijun, then the problem must be with me." ”

"......" the god resident Makie twitched.

Ma Gong Yongshi spoke one by one, and she was almost dizzy.

What is the name of the temple, there is no problem, it is my problem?

You have this idea to call it really problematic, right?

Ma Gong Yongshi didn't care about the confused god resident Maki-e, and instead looked at the pensive Kitagawa Temple: "I don't know why the temple suddenly asked this question?" ”

"I just thought about something. I remember... The shrine maiden is supposed to keep her body pure, right? ”

Kitagawa Temple asked.

“... Not bad. The shrine maiden must be pure and must be an unmarried woman. This should be a prerequisite for any kind of sacrifice. ”

Asamiya Yongshi thought for a moment and replied after adding a sentence.

Is that really the case?

Kitagawa Temple picked up the vermilion book.

Since the daughter of the head of the family can't go against the legend of the Quartet... So if you serve the moon yourself... That is, the moon witch of the moon?

If she accepts someone else's Quarta Magatama, will she be able to marry the other party?

Just a little thought will give you the answer.

These legends of the Moon Mountain are all based on the belief in the moon, and when it comes to the taboo of 'moon', what is the matter of a mere wedding?

From here, it can also be roughly inferred that this Sifang Mochizuki should be the last moon witch of the Sifang family.

It's just that no key evidence has been found to prove that the four directions are the witches of the moon, so Kitagawa Temple is roughly speculated.

But the only thing that is certain is that all the previous clues are connected.

Is it because the Sifang family imprisoned the Shifang Bunji that the Shifang family caused the ritual to fail?

There are still doubts in this.

Kitagawa Temple took out the blood-stained documents in his backpack.

This is a document written by the Four Directions, and the top handwriting is clearly visible.

'Why did you do that to her?' Yes... Yes... Quartet Family... Why treat her like this? ’

'I must get out of here, out of the cage. She's still waiting for me... Yes, I can feel it... She's still waiting for me...'

As the witch of the moon, the status of the four directions should be very noble.

For such an important person, what did the Sifang family do to her?

And why do those things to her?

Kitagawa Temple is indeed a little curious.

It's just that it's useless to think about these things now.

Beichuan Temple re-swept the wedding hall and found no trace of the moon mirror.

"It's time to leave, too." Kitagawa Temple moved and walked towards the door.

He had been investigating for more than four hours, and from eight o'clock to now, it was already more than twelve o'clock in the morning.

The meeting time agreed with the four directions was at one o'clock in the morning.

Beichuan Temple can also go to the stomping spot on the left-hand side of the sprawling building complex in advance.

But that's just a matter of stepping on the spot, after all, they're also going to gather.

If he goes back late and is suspected by the Quartet Kaguya, it will be a little inappropriate.

Kitagawa Temple took a rough inventory of what he had gotten.

I don't know the purpose of the map, two pieces of wood chips of the painted horse, "The Wedding Book of the Moon Shadow", "The Shadow of the Moon Document" one, and the blood-stained document...

Aside from things like Magatama and Ema, Kitagawa Temple is more concerned about the next content of the "Moon Shadow Document".

Since the Moon Shadow Document in his hand is the first volume, there must also be a second and third volumes... There should also be a few more so-called sacrificial halls.

I don't know what the contents of the documents in those sacrificial halls are.

Thinking of this, Beichuan Temple took a bite of the compressed biscuit at hand, picked up the kettle and drank water, and then changed the battery for the flashlight, and then raised his foot and planned to continue walking.

And just as Kitagawa Temple was moving forward, the ground under his feet suddenly trembled one after another.

It was as if the entire spiritual realm trembled with this tremor.

"Earthquake?" Kitagawa Temple frowned.

This is a spiritual realm, how can there be an earthquake?

He stood firm, and it took a long time for the inexplicable jolt to dissipate.

Everything was smooth again, as if nothing had happened.

"......" Kitagawa Temple.

Odd...

Kitagawa Temple raised its head.

This is a phenomenon that happens so often... Or is it something else?

He was secretly concerned, and then took a step and continued to walk forward.

It's just that... Before Kitagawa Temple could reach the place, the sound of signal flares soaring into the air sounded from behind him.

The fiery brilliance forced Kitagawa Temple to stop.

This is the gathering signal sent by the four directions.

After receiving this signal, you must exit the shrine in time.

But...

Kitagawa Temple took out his phone and took a look.

It's only half past twelve, why is the Quartet Kaguya sending a signal to ask for a gathering?

Kitagawa Temple shook his head expressionlessly.

The spirit dagger shot out and directly pierced the head of a resentful spirit hiding in the shadows, and then returned the same way without hurrying.
