Chapter 174: The Theory of Shinto

The mirage-like picture stopped flickering, and the black army in the corridor of time went from movement to stillness, with an abrupt and calm stop.

So Kiyowa also stopped, and his mind turned to the picture, and this time the picture was finally connected: it was a wide and somewhat excessive climbing staircase, spreading out to the halfway up the mountain... The main road of the four gates in the Jingling Court is less than half of this.

The staircase is surrounded by ancient books, green trees, and clouds and mist.

The black army moved at this time, and the small black hands that swarmed out came towards this "painting".

The ripples of the water appeared, and the black began to disappear... Qinghe, who was located in the very center, was a little dazed: This is going in?

Yes... Soon Seiwa also went in.

Jingle bells... Jingle bells... A pleasant bell rang and brought him downward.

The red torii gate that I saw once appeared... It's just that it's a bit too big: about 5 times as big as the original one?

What is the purpose of a torii? Distinguish between the divine realm where the gods inhabit and the secular realm inhabited by humans.

It's just that Kiyowa can't see what's behind the torii... Only the crisp sound of a bell was heard.

There must be a shrine behind this, as for why there is a bell ringing... Someone must have been sacrificing to the gods, and it was a kagura dance.

He'd ever seen the crane jump, about 3 or 4 hours? Qinghe doesn't know, but the picture is really beautiful.

The black army descended from the night, obscuring the stars and the moon, as if it were endless... The target, of course, is the shrine below where there is no view.

Is there a sound for the propagation of light? No... So neither do these darknesses.

Quietly, the little black hands scattered... Surrounded the shrine that could not be seen clearly.

The attack began, with amazing unanimity... Except for a small black hand that didn't move, the others touched the invisible barrier.

In an instant, the light bloomed, and the energy fluctuated brilliantly... But it only lasted for a moment, and the darkness triumphed over the light.

Qinghe, who was told to look at it, honestly didn't move... Just watching.

After the barrier was broken, the pavilions, palaces and temples below appeared, and of course there were many people... But they, and they all stopped this sacrifice, because darkness had come.

All the lights went out at once, as did the candles in the shrine... There is no moon and no starlight, and the world is plunged into darkness.

Qinghe can see it clearly... The Little Black Hands are aiming for it: the central hall.

Although the Black Legion encountered the same light as when they broke through, it only lasted for 1 second.

Panic, exclamations, sadness, pain began to appear below... Because no one can see exactly what is going on.

Fortunately, this despair did not last long, and the little black hands quickly pulled out a round mirror from the main hall that exuded that milky white light... But it wasn't enough to dispel the darkness, not even to light up below.

The little black hands were stacked layer after layer, and the last light was gone... So the blackness began to fade towards the top of the world.

Until the darkness is completely gone, the people in the shrine have not understood... There's no doubt about what happened: something very important is missing here, but no one has noticed it yet.

Kiyowa thought that was the end of the matter... As long as the Black Army leaves this world, he can get this "Shinto" thing.

Seiwa is no stranger to this... Because in the Jingling Court, there is such a family: the Ise family, the Shinto family, each generation has a successor, the family must be a woman, and the marriage must be a man.

It is said that this is to enshrine the only sword that has been passed down from generation to generation in his family: the Eight Mirror Sword!

This sword is the bladeless sword of the ceremonies, which is ineffective against people, and against gods... The Shiba family's book "The Nobles of the Jingling Court" did not continue to record, and it seems that the writer was also puzzled about this issue.

This kind of thing, Qinghe used to look at it with skepticism... After all, in the corpse soul world, only the god of death, and he must be the god of death, can be called the only "god".

But when he saw that mirror just now, Qinghe no longer doubted... Shinto exists not only in this world, but also in the world of the Shinigami, and it is a very powerful kind.

This time the box is a brilliant diamond... The system helped him pick out a "Shinto" item, which is enough to explain a lot.

Qinghe thought of Jingle Spring Water again... His adjutant, though not seen twice.

Ke Kiyowa knows what her name is: Ise Nanachi, a contemporary Shinto, the only female descendant of the Ise family.

Of course, that's all there is to it, and all that is there is the memory of Qinghe... This female god of death seems to have never carried a slasher, and usually only holds a book.

So here's the question... Where did that Shinto sword, called the "Eight Mirror Sword", go?

Without waiting for Qinghe to continue thinking about it, an accident appeared... A middle-aged man in a white sacrificial robe appeared.

Qinghe was in a trance... Because this uncle is very handsome, so handsome that he is afraid to walk down the street, as long as it is a creature like "female", I am afraid that he will call him "Oba", and I want to kill him - if the eyes can give people real harm.

"This is the priest." Xiao Hei's words became rare and solemn.

Qinghe suddenly realized... It turns out that this guy is the most powerful one in this shrine.

The two sides did not talk ... If the priest is not stupid, he can understand that the darkness that is fading cannot be communicated.

So he chose to shoot... It was a white brush with a little ink on it.

When the sacrifice is active, the darkness will not be restrained... The other party is obviously here to snatch back the Divine Mirror.

The little black hands parted and came out at great speed... Hopefully, you can interrupt the other person's progress.

But the priest moved faster, and a black circle soon appeared... Then his outstretched right hand touched the center of the circle: blood appeared.

The blood-red magatama pattern was generated before black... So the circular pattern shines brightly, and the black melts.

Qinghe's heart tightened... The little black hand was defeated.

The circle continued to advance, and the Black Legion still didn't stop... With the thing in hand, there is no reason to continue fighting.

The handsome uncle who saw this scene raised his eyebrows lightly, and finally spoke up: "This is not good, at least you have to return the stolen things." ”

So he used his pen and ink again, still drawing circles in the air... Only this time it's not Magatama, but a "swastika" character.

Kiyowa suddenly felt... The Black Legion retreated much slower, and he was left behind in the night, including as he was leaving.

"Look for death!" Little Black jumped like thunder and rushed out of the black... Endless darkness poured out, and Qinghe was pulled out of this world by the system.

"Let's not kill..."

Qinghe is a little weak-hearted... After all, it's a disgraceful thing to do.

Soon, Qinghe got a direct answer: no, it will cost a lot.

So he was relieved... Qinghe never doubted whether this darkness could kill people.

But then he became worried... In case Xiao Hei is injured, it is the foundation of his life.

As a result, the next moment, Xiao Hei appeared in the starry sky... It's just that the darkness that followed him back was obviously much less.

Seeing this scene, Qinghe understood something: doing this kind of thing is not completely without danger.
