What exactly does the Sifang Kaguya want to express, and why does she, as the daughter of the head of the Sifang family, want to convey a message to the outsider of Kitagawa Temple...?

The only thing that Kitagawa Temple can be sure of now is that the news that Kaguya is going to pass on must be the news that threatens herself, otherwise she would not have thought of telling herself what her family was hiding.

But what is it exactly?

Could it be that there is some great threat to go to the Altar of the Four Directions? Or does it mean that the Sifang Kazuya itself has to be sacrificed in order to restart the Sifang Altar?

If you think about the past carefully, there are too many doubts in it.

If you really want to go in the direction of conspiracy theories, maybe even Kitagawa Temple, Haneda, and Onodera have already been classified as living sacrifices.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that mind reading required too many skill points, Kitagawa Temple would definitely have highlighted this practical skill.

But no matter what, this time the trip to the Shifang Family Shrine will definitely be risky.

With these questions in mind, Kitagawa Temple rode in a vehicle with Shifang Kaguya beside him and headed towards the Tozawa Mountains in Tenkawa Village, Nara Prefecture.

......

If you want to talk about what Nara Prefecture is most famous for, basically anyone with common sense will tell you an easy-to-understand answer.

That's the deer.

In Nara, deer are famous as messengers of the gods, and there are many legends and anecdotes, but there is no need to go into detail here.

At Beichuan Temple, they took about seven hours to settle down at a guesthouse near Tianchuan Village.

The people of the Sifang family booked the room and asked for food.

As the daughter of the head of the Quartet family, Kazuya Quartet also said apologetically at the dinner table:

"Because the Sifang family is hidden deep in the mountains, cars can't go to that kind of place... So from now on, you have to walk to your destination. Guys, I'm sorry. ”

Master Haneda took a sip of tea and asked, "I wonder how far we are from our destination?" ”

"In terms of time, you can get to the ruins of the family shrine in about an hour, and you should be able to arrive before the time of the demon."

Kaguya replied.

The reason why they chose to go to their family shrine at dusk is because at the time of the demon, the distance between the present world and the hidden world is the closest, that is, at dusk, this world is closest to that world.

At that time, using the Lunar Mirror can also save some of these good thoughts and save them for emergencies.

After a simple meal, everyone naturally set off.

Haneda and Onodera counted their props, packed them in small cloth bags, and tied them to their bodies.

And Beichuan Temple looked thoughtfully at the vast mountains and rivers in front of him.

Tozawa Mountains, which simply cannot be compared to the prosperity of Tokyo.

A sea of green trees cascades on top of each other.

From Kitagawa Temple, there is no way to find a road that can go deep into the mountains.

Everything has been blocked by the sea of trees, and the deep sea of trees is silently in front of you, making people feel a chill in their hearts just by looking at it.

"Let's go." Quartet Kaguya gave the order.

Under her guidance, the bodyguards and drivers who had been considered useless by Master Haneda and others stood up.

These bodyguards and drivers silently walked in front to explore the way for Beichuan Temple.

After all, the mountain road is steep, and in some places it looks like the ground is solid, but if you step on it, you will fall into the Naraku Abyss, and this is where they are needed.

What Beichuan Temple didn't expect was that these bodyguards and drivers all responded to it with a degree, as if they were very familiar with the situation in the vicinity.

"These people are all members of the Sifang family, and they were specially sent by the family to protect me, although they are not as strong as your good thoughts, but they are also the right-hand men of the Sifang family, but they can still do it by looking at the spirits."

Sifang Kaguya explained in a whisper, and the Moon Mirror that she had been holding in both hands was now hanging on her chest, which was also conducive to action.

The crowd continued to walk forward.

While walking, the Sifang Kaguya did not forget to give them the current situation of the Sifang Family Shrine.

"This time, your main task is to restart the Altar of the Four Directions. But before restarting the Quadripartite Altar, there is one more thing that must be done. ”

"As I said before, the Shifang clan closed the Shifang Shrine before leaving the Shizawa Mountains, and used the last moonlight that overflowed to form an enchantment, completely isolating the Shifang Family Shrine from the present world. Therefore, the four altars of Shuo, Shangxian, Wang, and Xiaxian have actually sunk to the bottom. ”

Shifang Kaguya further explained:

"The reason why these four altars were sunk into the ground was because they were protected by the fear that they would be destroyed by the evil spirits and unspeakable things that roamed outside."

"Let the altar that has sunk into the ground rise again, and then activate the altar. That's the general process. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Master Onodera asked, "So how do you make the altar rise?" ”

Listening to Master Onodera's question, Shifang Kaguya also calmly gave an explanation: "This is to mention another spiritual tool handed down by the Sifang family, the Moon Mirror. ”

Sifang Kazuya stroked the moon mirror in his hand and carefully added:

"If the Moonlight Mirror is a response to the spirit tools that have been handed down during the 'Obscure Moon Hour', then the Moonlight Mirror is a spirit tool that has been left behind to rekindle the family's hope. Both of these spirit tools can only be used by us shrine maidens..."

As she spoke, she sighed, "It's just that the last 'Obscure Moon Hour' came too quickly, and the momentum was fierce, so the Moon Mirror was left in the family shrine. Until now, it has not been recovered. ”

The Quartet Kaguya pleaded with a solemn expression:

"Therefore, before restarting the Altar of the Four Directions, we must first find the Lunar Scope."

Through her explanation, Beichuan Temple quickly cleared its mind.

First of all, the altar has sunk to the ground, and in order for the altar to rise from the ground, it is necessary to use the moon mirror left in the shrine.

"Time is too short. It's basically impossible to accomplish these things in one night. And we also need to rest, and it's impossible to do it all in one night. ”

After thinking about it, Kitagawa Temple spoke bluntly.

Yes, the time was too short. The location of the Moonsight Mirror is unknown, and I heard that the shrine of the Sifang family is definitely not small.

In this case, it would be thankful to find the Lunar Mirror in one night, not to mention that the Quartet Kaguya would use the Lunar Mirror to restart the altar later.

You can't get it without two or three days of exploring.

"Hmm. I also know Gen Kitagawa's concerns. ”

Sifang Kaguya nodded, and then explained, "It's basically impossible to complete these requirements in one night, which is why I want to save the good thoughts in the Moonlight Mirror and free up more time for you to find the Moonsight Mirror. If it doesn't work in one night, then two nights, and two nights, then three nights. ”

Her words also reassured Master Haneda and Master Onodera.

In fact, the two of them were also going to euphemistically put forward the opinion that 'there may not be enough time' to Kaguya Sifang just now, but what they didn't expect was that Kitagawa Temple was even faster than them, and seeing him like that, he didn't hesitate to speak after just thinking about it.

Beichuan Temple didn't care about the gaze of the two of them, and after receiving the assurance of the four directions, he nodded briefly and said:

"Then I don't have any problems."

"In that case, let's move on—" Shifang Kaguya nodded, just about to continue speaking.

But soon her face changed, she stumbled under her feet, and a trace of cold sweat oozed from her forehead.

But Shifang Kaguya quickly stabilized her figure, and she reached out to stop Master Onodera and Master Haneda who wanted to come over to support her: "I have no problem... Let's move on. Everybody. ”

“......”

Sifang Kaguya's expression didn't look like he was fine, his face turned pale in an instant, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and the movements under his feet became extremely vague, looking at her like this, it was as if she had suffered some kind of invisible heavy blow.

But since it was the Quartet Kaguya's own request, everyone continued to move forward.

Of course, due to the situation in the four directions, no one in the entire team had the heart to continue talking.

After walking in silence for more than thirty minutes, the crowd stopped in front of an area.

"There it is... Quartet Family...? Master Haneda paused and looked at the gentle valley hidden in the twilight forest.

What is displayed in front of everyone is clearly a dilapidated small village.

Some houses were burned down, while others were washed away by landslides.

In some places, only the frame of the pillars remains, and it is impossible to distinguish the former appearance of the house.

The creek that winds around the village has dried up, and everything looks barren and dilapidated.

"According to the family records, this area is where the Sifang family mainly lives... But our destination is not here. ”

Kaguya reached out and pointed to the mountain behind the small village.

The crowd looked away.

Bypass the pond that has dried up and go up...

The long stone steps of the approach continue to the mountain step by step. Continuing these stone steps, there are a thousand-story torii gate that is erected and stacked on top of each other.

The shrine at the end of the torii gate looms in the twilight, as if you are in the present world, and as if you are in the hidden world...

"Shikata Shrine."

Kaguya muttered to himself, a ray of sadness flashing in his eyes.

.....

The people descended the mountain and came to the dilapidated and barren village of Sifang.

Xia Cicada snorted at the grassy roofs of houses and broken wooden doors.

Some of the well-preserved houses can still be seen with furniture, and even some rotting linen clothes.

This can also see how quickly the people of the Sifang family evacuated at the beginning.

Kaguya lowered his head at the dilapidated houses, and was silent for two or three seconds before saying, "Let's rest around here for ten minutes temporarily." ”

Her proposal was approved by everyone, and even Beichuan Temple nodded.

Indeed, I have been walking for an hour now, and I will go to climb the long approach that does not talk like words, and it would be good to take a break.

"I wonder how you're feeling right now? Master Kitagawa? Sifang Kaguya replenished his water and glanced sideways at Kitagawa Temple.

For her excessive concern, Beichuan Temple pinched the kettle and took a sip before calmly replying, "I don't feel anything." If you really want to worry, I think you should care about your current body. ”

"Are you talking about what just happened?" Sifang Huiye waved his hand: "It's just the first time I've walked such a long mountain road, and my breathing rhythm has not been adjusted, and I have some heat stroke." ”

"Yes." Kitagawa Temple responded casually, disapproving of the words of the four directions Kaguya.

At the moment when the Sifang Kaguya was out of the situation just now, Beichuan Temple had already mobilized the death qi to check her state.

Something happened that made Kitagawa Temple care.

The four directions of Kaguya, who originally had no good thoughts, slowly appeared on his body. And the center of this good thought is emanating from the moonlight mirror on her chest.

It's just that now that fluctuation of good thoughts has been completely suppressed by the Quartet Kaguya.

That's why she can speak so naturally.

But... The most incomprehensible thing to Kitagawa Temple is... Why did the good thoughts that lingered in Kaguya's body cause damage to her?

If you want to say that it was the good thoughts of the Moon Mirror itself that had an impact on the Quartet Kaguya, it would be unlikely, after all, she had always carried the Moon Mirror close to her, and this kind of family spirit tool should generally not hurt the people of her own family.

Thinking about it, Kitagawa Temple looked sideways at the mountains around him.

The name of this mountain is Yueyou Mountain, and it is precisely because this mountain is close to the Yellow Spring that the people of the Quartet family spend a lot of money to suppress it every year.

But... Why did the people of the Sifang family insist on suppressing the Yellow Spring under this mountain?

It is irresponsible to say that the people of the Sifang family can leave this land and live in other habitable places. There is no need to take such a big risk.

After all, they are not like the villagers of the gods, who are haunted by the curse of calamity, nor are they like the people of Ihi, who will die if they stay away from Ihi Island.

There's no reason for them to stay here.

And this... It's also something that Kaguya Sifang hasn't told the group of Kitagawa Temple.

What is the reason for this?

Intuition told Beichuan Temple that this had the most direct connection with the fact that the Sifang family hired them to come here to restart the Sifang Shrine. And this connection is what they seek.

But—

It's useless to think so much about it now.

Kitagawa Temple shook his head.

Yes. Now I haven't officially entered the Sifang Shrine to think so much.,It's just looking for something to do for yourself.。

After entering the shrine, Beichuan Temple believed that there must be some of the main reasons for the Sifang family's suppression of Huangquan.

And before the investigation comes out...

Let's find out the necessary props first.

Kitagawa Temple looked thoughtfully at the four directions Kaguya and determined his goal.
