Chapter 519. The Last Approach (4000 words)
Mu Chi Hotaruzuka looked at Beichuan Temple with complicated eyes, and Beichuan Temple did not retreat at all.
It was a long time before her voice rang out:
"Mijin-sama's thoughts... I really didn't expect that. ”
Mu Chi Hotaru looked at Beichuan Temple: "At least no one in the declining Mu Chi family has ever thought of it like this..."
She put her hands on her chest and said in a light tone:
"I seem to understand the purpose of the ritual of sacrifice and sacrifice. Maybe you're right..."
Thundered!!!!
Good thoughts gush out like a tidal wave! The good thoughts in the stone cave exploded instantly!
At the same time, it was the voice of Mu Chi Hotaruzuka who had already made up his mind:
"And that's the most important reason why I'm here to survive!"
Good thoughts gathered, and the wind pressure shook the surrounding Zhulian rope wildly.
Mu Chi Hotaruzuka's eyes were already covered with pale gold brilliance.
"After I received the ritual of the Daughter of Fertility, I used a special technique to remove the spirit from the body, and at the same time the body was sealed and nourished with good thoughts—until now."
This is also an important reason why Mu Chi Hotaruzuka was unable to directly help Beichuan Temple.
Because there is a seal, she can't leave this place, and she can only remind Beichuan Temple through her wandering good thoughts.
And now...
"It's time to break the seal."
Mu Chi Hotaruzuka clasped his hands together, and then the shape of his hands changed, and the good thoughts in the air also trembled violently!
Communicate with the present world, and be nurtured by various spiritual tools... Her strength must be almost the same as that of a coffin pillar.
The good thoughts that have been raised to the apex will vibrate down the ropes nailed to the surrounding rock walls!
The intense light of kindness illuminated the entire stone cave!
And then—
In the next moment, all the good thoughts that were violently trembling calmly calmed down.
All blinding glow was withdrawn.
From the depths of the cave, a woman dressed in a black carved kimono slowly stepped out.
Her appearance is not much different from Kamiya Mira, but her temperament is much more mature than Kamiya Miku. Her eyes sparkled with light, and her satin-like hair flowed softly.
This is the daughter of the birth...?
Kitagawa Temple subconsciously used dead air.
Under the vision of death, he could see the good thoughts that stirred up from time to time.
The complete opposite of the coffin pillar.
If it is said that the coffin pillar is the embodiment of calamity, then the daughter of the birth is the existence of good thoughts.
It is no wonder that the Mu Chi family left a statement in the document that only the daughter of the living can check and balance each other with the coffin pillar.
"I'll help Mijin-sama, because my family has saved my life... That's why. ”
When Mu Chi Hotaruza said this, his words were light.
"And... I don't want to see my brother continue to be tormented. ”
After the coffin pillar is sealed in the coffin, it will be eroded and washed by calamity at all times, which is an extremely painful thing for the spirit.
After a long period of time, its spirit body will naturally be corrupted by calamity.
"Yes." Looking at Mu Chi Hotaruzuka, Beichuan Temple nodded and was about to say something-
Thundered!!!!
The whole dungeon was trembling.
No... Not only the dungeon, but the entire ground trembled.
Dust fell.
"It looks like it's already started..."
Mu Chi Hotaru said in a low voice.
"It's already started?"
The god resident Makie hugged Nishikujo in his arms tightly, his eyes full of astonishment.
"Not bad." Mu Chi Hotaru raised his head as if he was aware of it: "Because I broke the seal and left, my brother who lost the balance will also break the seal." ”
"The Forest of Thousand Sakura, where he is, can't suppress him anymore. The coffin is about to collapse... The Coffin Pillar—"
Her eyes froze.
"It's coming out!"
As if in response to Mu Chi Hotaruzuka, a shrill roar that seemed to be inhuman passed through the worship hall, penetrated the ground, and directly reached this place.
This rumbling roar, as well as the endless resentment in it, made Asamiya Eiyo and the god next to him unable to help but move.
Mu Chi's family... What kind of monster is this?
"Please don't panic, although the coffin pillar has now broken the seal of the coffin, there are other backhand seals in the Forest of Thousand Sakura. It wasn't enough to put him back in the coffin, but it was okay to delay for a while. ”
Mu Chi Hotaruza spoke: "The most important thing for us now is to go to the Yellow Spring, take down the part of the Blue Stone that makes up the seal of Zhu in Zhu Saki's array, and then use the Imperial Spirit Pendant instead. In this way, the collapse time of Zhu Saki's array can be slowed down. ”
Her method is very good, at least Kitagawa Temple agrees with it.
The most important thing now is to solve the problem of Zhu Saki's array, not to clash head-on with the coffin man.
Since there is a way to avoid him for the time being, it must be done.
It's just—
"Where is the place to go to Yellow Springs?" Beichuan Temple asked as he moved with Mu Chi Hotaruzuka.
Mu Chi Hotaruzuka led the way in front, and as he stepped up the steps, he recalled, "From the worship hall, take the ancient approach on the right, and in about ten minutes, you will reach the foot of the Humanoid Imperial Sacred Tree. Those human forms were used as sacrifices... In order to defend Mu Chi's family. ”
Then pass through the humanoid Mikami Tree and continue walking. Once you get to that place... You can see a lake. ”
"And that's the Great Spirit Lake, which is directly connected to the Yellow Spring."
Listening to Mu Chi Hotaruzuka's explanation, Kitagawa Temple thought of Kamiya's future dream.
In the early morning, the sky is slightly dark, and the ancient Sando... Humanoid generation of Mikamiki... Further ahead is a silent lake.
Gray-white yellow spring miasma floats on the surface of the lake.
There is an old wooden road that goes straight ahead.
and a huge torii gate.
"That torii gate is a torii gate that separates the present from the hidden."
Mu Chi Hotaruzuka pushed the door of the worship hall open, and while keeping moving, he continued to explain:
"That's what we call the Tenno torii. Whenever it is time to make sacrifices, the head of the house will preside over the chanting of the purification. ”
The voice of a low chant sounded.
"The torii of the sky, communicate with the body of emptiness."
"The blue fires accompany you."
"The other side of the vermilion chanting, the other side of the sacred wood. The other side of the Vermilion Torii Gate..."
"It's for the soul, it's for the Yellow Spring.."
Mu Chi Hotaruza said little by little.
The main function of this set of words is to improve people's attention and make the following rituals more 'ritual', and the words themselves have no meaning.
"But... Generations of Mu Chi Witch... They all stepped on this whispered and sung words, and calmly stepped into the yellow spring to die. ”
Listening to Mu Chi Hotaruzuka's slightly sad voice, Beichuan Temple did not talk.
Young shrine maidens dressed in red and white shrine maiden costumes walk step by step behind the torii gate to the sound of shamisen, taiko drums, and kagura bells, accompanied by the sounds of shamisen, taiko drums, and kagura bells.
What kind of fate awaits them behind that?
No one knows about this.
As the 'pillars', they will suppress the Yellow Springs and balance the present and the hidden world.
The feelings in this are only clear to people like Ma Gong Yongshi who have made sacrifices.
For a while, the atmosphere was a little dreary.
But soon, the dull atmosphere was broken.
Mu Chi Hotaruzuka stood in front of an antique path that kept winding towards the dense forest: "This is the ancient approach, and if you enter from here, you can go directly to the place where the Imperial Sacred Tree is located. ”
Then she pointed behind Kitagawa Temple and Asamiya Eternal.
"In the opposite direction of this ancient path, there is a staircase that leads upwards, and there is the Forest of Thousand Sakura, which is called the Forbidden Forest. Brother... No, the coffin pillar should have already begun to break through the seal of the Thousand Sakura Forest. ”
Beichuan Temple nodded, squinted at the redundant road behind him and said:
"Time is pressing, let's talk about the rest on the road."
Beichuan Temple's reasonable proposal was naturally approved by Mu Chi Hotaruza, and she took the lead.
Along the way, Kitagawa Temple also asked Mu Chi Hotaruzuka a lot of questions.
These include how to enter the Yellow Spring, how to find Zhu Saki's array after entering the Yellow Spring, and how to leave the Yellow Spring after solving Zhu Saki's array.
"The gate of the Yellow Spring needs to be opened by the pure blood of the witch of Mu Chi, and only those who have the blood of the empty pure can open the gate of the Yellow Spring."
As he walked forward, Mu Chi Hotaruzuka took out three small and delicate bamboo bottles from the bottom of his sleeve.
Each bamboo bottle is no more than the length and width of an adult's finger, and is mainly sealed with stone stoppers.
"These are the blood of emptiness, with these, even if there is no blood of the witch of Mu Chi, the gate of the Yellow Spring can be opened."
Mu Chi Hotaruza said and handed over the three bamboo bottles to Beichuan Temple.
"As long as you pass through the Tenno torii, there is a yellow spring behind it. And after entering the Yellow Spring, use a bottle of Empty Pure Blood... The bloodline of the Mu Chi family and the Zhu Saki array itself have a special sense, which can guide you to the place where the Zhu Saki array is located. As for the last vial of Pure Blood... That's the way to get out of Yellow Springs. ”
"But in fact, it doesn't matter if you don't use the empty blood in this bamboo bottle, as the daughter of life, I also have the ability to communicate with the gate of Huangquan. The reason why they are left is only a backup. ”
Seeing Beichuan Temple expressionlessly collecting the empty blood into his backpack, Mu Chi Hotaruza glanced at the surrounding environment, and then exhaled.
"Please come over here, from here is where the Humanoid Imperial Sacred Tree is located."
"So, if you just keep walking a little further ahead, you can get to the Tennotorii?"
"Hmm."
Mu Chi Hotaruza answered the question of the god resident Maki-e and continued to walk inside.
There are no guardrails on either side of this ancient approach, but a bluestone path continues to move forward.
Along the way, just as Mu Chi Hotaruza said, basically there are no resentful spirits and monsters.
But—
Everyone paused.
"How so?"
This time, even Mu Chi Hotaruzuka didn't expect it.
The road in front of us still exists, but it has been completely eroded by the foggy calamity.
"How is that possible?
It stands to reason that with the suppression of the Imperial Divine Wood and the Humanoid Generation, all the calamities here should return to the leylines, but the scene in front of them completely subverted Mu Chi Hotaruza's imagination.
With such a strong calamity, it is basically impossible to move forward.
"Is that the tree you're talking about?"
Kitagawa Temple points to the right-hand side.
If you look in the direction of his finger, you will see a tree that has fallen to the ground.
Underneath it, there are all sorts of human generations.
"It seems that this year's Zhu Saki array has fluctuated too violently, causing the calamity in the leylines to gush out, eroding the Imperial Divine Tree."
Mu Chi Hotaruzuka frowned tightly.
The scarlet calamity stood in front of him, like a moat.
"Can't you use the Kindness Barrier to find a way?" Asamiya thought for a moment and then came up with his own idea.
"You can't take that risk."
Mu Chi Hotaruzuka shook his head.
"As you can see now, the Kasatsu here is mainly airflow, but if you continue to enter it, maybe the Katsu will gradually become more terrifying, and then it will become liquid, and then it will become solid... That's not something that ordinary barriers of good thought can resist. ”
But you can't go home like this...
Just as the others were thinking, Kitagawa Temple, which had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"There must be another way besides this one, right?"
He didn't believe that the Mu Chi family had opened up any other roads other than this ancient road.
"Uh... Yes, yes, but—"
Mu Chi Yingzuka was stunned for a moment and came back to his senses, his face a little embarrassed.
"Take us there."
Beichuan Temple didn't care about the other party's embarrassed face, and said bluntly.
“... The road is to pass through the Forbidden Forest. ”
Seeing that Beichuan Temple was going to go no matter what, Mu Chi Hotaruzuka sighed and said.
Yes.
The path needed to pass through the Forest of Thousand Sakura, where her brother existed.
"As mentioned earlier, the coffin pillar is trying to break through the seal. If we enter the Forest of a Thousand Sakura, we will definitely be entangled by the other party. ”
This is also the reason why Mu Chi Hotaruzuka hesitated.
Although she is not afraid of the coffin pillar, it is not a good thing to be entangled by the other party.
"Do you have any other way than this?" Kitagawa Temple asked rhetorically.
"It's... Without. ”
The two roads that Mu Chi's family secretly passed down, the former is the ancient Sando of the Imperial Sacred Tree, and the latter is the ancient Sando in the Forest of a Thousand Sakura.
As for the other paths?
Even the Ancient Shrine Road, which has the protection of the Sacred Tree, has been eroded by Katsu and cannot be passed, and the other roads are certainly not much different from the situation here.
"Then take us there." Beichuan Temple looked at Mu Chi Hotaru Mosa: "There is no point in continuing to wait, rather than waiting for the coffin pillar to break out of the seal... It's better for us to take the initiative. ”
"Because the moment the other party breaks out of the seal, maybe even the last way to the heavenly torii gate will be polluted by Katsu. At that point, there will really be nothing to be done. ”
"......" Mou Chi Hotaruzuka.
Silent.
There was a long silence.
"Even if I don't bring Mijin-sama along, you'll try it yourself, right?"
"Hmm."
Kitagawa Temple nodded.
"This is really..."Mou Chi Hotaruzuka looked a little helpless.
But everything is still as Beichuan Temple said, and when the coffin pillar breaks out of the seal, the final result is still the same.
Maybe even the calamity on the coffin pillar will pollute another ancient path.
Instead of waiting for the crisis to take the initiative, it is better to take the initiative to meet the crisis.
This is also a way to deal with it.
