Kitagawa Temple stuffed the large notebook into his outdoor bag outside the shrine and continued to grope inward.

The shrine has not been repaired for a long time, and there are many places in it that are leaking, plus it was already built on the water, and the moisture on the ground is very heavy, and some wooden floors have been eroded and rotted by the moisture, and the foot of Kitagawa Temple is a big hole when you step on it.

The main hall has three quaint wooden doors, each of which seems to have a place to lead.

So where should you go?

Kitagawa Temple thought so and looked at Nishikujo on his shoulder.

Poor as a good spirit, of course, inspiration is much higher than his, and it is not wrong to listen to her.

Nishikujo crawled to his feet under the gaze of Kitagawa Temple, his round hand pointing to the quaint gate on the left.

"Let's go."

Nishikujo also made a choice, and Kitagawa Temple no longer hesitated to open the wooden door.

As soon as the wooden door was opened, a cold and damp air rushed towards him.

Originally, the wooden gate on the left was connected to the long bridge with a roof outside the shrine, and the long bridge ran forward, about 50 meters away from here, there was a large hall that shimmered with fire, and the long bridge was divided into three avenues to the center, left, and right, and the long bridge on the left and right sides surrounded the firelight hall in a square shape, arching it in the middle of the pond surface, and the middle long bridge facing the Beichuan Temple connected to the entrance and exit of the firelight hall.

On both sides of the handrail of the long bridge are black and dirty pond water, black and bottomless.

Beichuan Temple didn't care about this, and stepped directly on the bridge as soon as he lifted his footsteps.

Click!

Kitagawa Temple fell under the bridge deck with half a foot.

As mentioned earlier, the shrine built on the water has not been repaired for a long time, and some of the wood has rotted, and it just so happened that Kitagawa Temple stepped on this rotten wood.

Beichuan Temple couldn't help but shake his head, put his hands on the bridge deck, and braced himself up-

"Huh?"

He sensed that something seemed to be tugging at his ankle with great force under the bridge!

The sheer force almost pulled his ankles

Beichuan Temple decisively took out the conjunction, and the flickering air directly cut a large hole in the bridge deck.

Although he lost the support point for a while, but because of this, Beichuan Temple got more vision, he held it with one hand, and the dead air lingered in his eyes, and then he saw something under the dirty water-

It was a pair of strange blue and white twisted palms.

Dozens of them clinged to Kitagawa Temple's ankles, as if to drag him to the bottom of the pool.

A cold light flashed in Beichuan Temple's eyes, his wrist shook, and he entered his palm unhurriedly.

Spirit Dagger!

It shines under the infusion of dead air.

Kanada shot out of his hand and shot directly into the water, and the sharp blade easily tore the ghost hand apart.

Only then was Beichuan Temple able to pull out his foot, and under the traction of his dead air connection, Kanji returned to his hand again.

He lifted his trouser legs, and above his ankles, he could clearly see the black finger marks that had been pulled.

"There's a dead body under the water? Could it be..."

Kitagawa Temple thought about the fate of the man after the failure of the wedding ceremony just now.

Buried at the bottom of the pool...

Is there anything special about this?

After simply treating it with death qi, Beichuan Temple picked it up and groped forward with a flashlight.

Not only why, but the further you go, the hotter Beichuan Temple feels.

It's not a physical fever, it's a deeper level... It's as if the soul is heating up.

With a distance of fifty meters, it was as if he had experienced the same feeling from winter to summer, and Kitagawa Temple raised the flashlight in his hand and looked at the forehead.

But it's a pity that the forehead bundle is empty, and nothing is written.

Since there is no information on the forehead, then go in directly to check the situation.

Kitagawa Temple put his hand on the sliding door, his body tensed, and he was always ready to deal with various unknown situations.

This time the door was opened easily, and it wasn't as troublesome as entering the shrine hall.

As soon as the door of Beichuan Temple was opened, a wave of heat came to the face.

He stared intently.

The height of the dome of the entire hall is no more than five meters, and there are countless red silk strips hanging from the top of the hall.

The four directions of the main hall are neatly erected in the great red columns, which are connected by a rope, and in the four directions there is a huge brazier that is burning and burning.

The brazier was at least half a meter above the ground, and in the midst of it was a mysterious blue flame.

The strange flame burned, and it looked a little demonic.

The body of Kitagawa Temple does not feel the burning sensation, but the soul has a burning sensation.

He took two steps forward, and was just about to get close to the dark blue flames when he heard what seemed to be the sound of something behind him.

Kitagawa Temple looked back.

I saw four people wearing hunting clothes and strange masks walking in from outside.

This is an afterimage.

There is neither resentment nor good thoughts in each person, but only an image constructed by the thoughts of simple people.

They moved solemnly, each carrying a small brazier in his hand.

After whispering to each other like a prayer, they threw the small brazier into the dark blue flame, which was pulled out by the knotted rope in their hands, and in the brazier they pulled out, there was also a small dark blue flame burning.

They remained silent and withdrew from the main hall again, slowly dissipating.

Where the priests disappeared, they left behind broken and ancient documents.

Beichuan Temple picked it up and looked at it:

'The shrine of the gods, the ritual of fire. ’

Legend has it that the soul of the living is attracted to the fire, so when making the fire, it is necessary to wear a mask engraved with a spell and make a fire with a knotted brazier. ’

'The fire is the fire of the soul, the spiritual fire offered by the soul of a young man who has failed the wedding ceremony at the bottom of the pool. ’

'Any ritual about Kaotsu must be accompanied by a fire that will ward off evil spirits and suppress them. ’

'The standing fire cannot be extinguished. ’

'The standing fire cannot be extinguished. ’

'The standing fire cannot be extinguished. ’

It is emphasized three times in a row, which also reflects the importance of the fire to the shrine.

"The fire cannot be extinguished," Beichuan Temple muttered, savoring the ancient tradition.

At this time, the system prompt also sounded crisply.

System Hint: You have discovered a new weird 'Static Fire'.

Resident Fire: The flame that has been worshiped at the shrine for generations, fueled by the soul of the living, has the effect of driving away evil spirits and warms the soul.

And immediately after, a crisp sound sounded in the ears of Beichuan Temple.

System prompt: The host's dead gas has a high degree of compatibility with the standing fire, do you choose to absorb the fire?

Absorbing the standing fire?

Kitagawa Temple looked back at the dark blue flames burning behind him.

Even standing here, he could feel the burning heat of the flames on his soul.

If only I could absorb this...

Even Beichuan Temple can't resist such temptation.

Yes, if such a powerful garrison can absorb and be used by him, then the next trip to the shrine will undoubtedly be much easier!
