Chapter 14: The Murder Knife
"The ink dye family, in this ink cherry mountain, has taken root for more than ten generations, hundreds of years before and after, I can't say when it has been laid out, but the ancestor is said to be a mage who traveled here."
"However, ordinary traveling mages don't have such ability, and they can arrange such a formation at least three hundred years ago."
"Generous, use the largest spiritual veins within a radius of a hundred miles to raise a tree...... It's like making it holy! ”
In the past two days, Lin Zhengyang, under the alias Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan, walked around the key feng shui places in the vicinity as an onmyoji, and found obvious nodes.
Some are pavilions, some are land temples, and some are stone pillars buried in the ground......
In short, they were all deliberately transformed, and the surplus spiritual power of the spiritual veins was directed to this Moying Mountain, and it was no accident that they were finally fed to the sacred tree.
"Even the most ordinary tree, cultivated by such a massive amount of leyline spiritual power, should have become a spirit by now, and an elf was born."
In the island culture, monsters, elves, funeral gods, and demons are collectively referred to as monsters, but there are actually big differences.
The sources of monsters are the most mixed.,There are monsters born from people's hearts.,Ghosts.,There are also monsters from the story.,For example, the slippery ghost.,Snow girl.,Hashihime......
There are also existing creatures that have changed into demons, just like the demon clan in Huaxia.
Even a certain monster sage who is eternally seventeen years old, one person is a realm demon of a clan, and that is also a monster.
Fu Fushen, many of them are furniture, the so-called "old things become demons", pots and pans, etc., may give birth to Fu Fushen, which is said to be born of abandoned resentment.
Demons, creatures derived from various miasma, or polluted, usually have no sapience.
Elves are born from spiritual power, mostly flowers and plants, not only do they have no demonic energy, but they have strong spiritual power.
This kind of elf, in a sense, is actually a reserve of the gods, and in this place where even youkai are worshipped as gods, the elves of the cherry blossom trees are naturally the cherry blossom gods.
"That tree, it clearly didn't give me the feeling of coming to life, it stands to reason that there should have been an elf a long time ago."
Lin Zhengyang had also seen monsters in his early years, even the elves of flowers and plants.
That kind of firefly monster, it's useless, he's seen a living one.
Even the mysterious decline of the earth, where science and technology are dominant, can give birth to this kind of elf, and it doesn't make sense that this era can't work.
"Sure enough, it was still manipulated, so that it was easier to gain power...... Deliberately not allowing the spirit of the sacred tree to be born, but offering it with pious belief, this is really about to create a god. ”
"It's just a controlled ......"
Maybe he will sign a contract in his sleep, and wait until he is born to directly receive a real goddess as a god...... It's a big deal to think about!
Why are you sure it's a goddess?
Because the cherry blossom god enshrined in the shrine is a woman!
Lin Zhengyang heard from the mouths of others that the name of the god of the ink-dyed shrine is "Wood Blossom Blossom Yahime", as he guessed, it is the god who is in charge of cherry blossoms and love and brings happiness.
"There are enchantments on the mountain, and there are several enchantments under the mountain, which are already in a state of rising, and you can't see what is hidden inside, but if nothing else, the goddess who was created should be controlled."
"Specifically, we still need to go further, at least on the spot. The sacred tree that is the object of belief should have condensed quite a lot of faith on it, as well as hundreds of years of accumulation, which can be called a huge amount of spiritual power. ”
Thinking of this, Lin Zhengyang's heart was hot.
Whether it was the kind of divine power condensed by faith, or the pure spiritual power that the Divine Tree had accumulated for a long time, it was something that was very useful to him.
The former is used to open the way back, and maybe it can also be used as a material to customize high-level Shikikami.
The latter, pure spiritual power, can be used to transform into internal force.
Although the foundation of internal force and spiritual power is different, internal force is biased towards qi, and spiritual power is biased towards god, but even if the efficiency is low, it is in vain.
"Refining the free Great Source Spiritual Power with mortal exhalation, the transformation of internal power is too slow, if I can absorb a part of the pure spiritual power, a little transformation is enough for me to ascend to the sky in one step."
It's not that Lin Zhengyang doesn't have a more advanced martial arts method, but he mainly suffers from shallow internal strength and has never been able to use it.
As for the use of heaven and earth treasures, take the flow of drugs...... If there is such a thing, it has already been eaten.
After a sumptuous lunch, Lin Zhengyang left a few brand-new copper coins and left in style.
The wind in early spring is a little cool, but fortunately, the uniform of the onmyoji is embroidered with mantras, and simple protection from the cold can still be done.
There is only one way up the mountain to visit the shrine.
Before, Lin Zhengyang fell directly into the back mountain, which belonged to the shrine's own reserve, perhaps because he touched the enchantment, which was noticed by the patrolling Shikami Sparrow.
"Ah, count the time, my stand-in should be gone......"
Ink-dyed shrine.
In a guest room, under the service of the shrine maidens, the Shikijin "Lin Zhengyang", who was slowly using rice and vegetable soup, sketched a bright and sunny smile on his face, put down the dishes and chopsticks, wiped the corners of his mouth with an embroidered handkerchief, and said unhurriedly:
"Thanks to my care, this day and night were quite comfortable, but unfortunately, the contemptible people still have important things to do, and they can't stay longer...... It's time to say goodbye! ”
Several shrine maidens looked at each other.
"What is he talking about?"
"Stupid, he said he was leaving......"
"No, my lord said that he would be kept, and he would be sacrificed when the time comes."
Hearing these words, Shikigami smiled even brighter, and asked:
"What kind of god needs a living person as a sacrifice?"
Gods are not needed, unless they are youkai.
Naturally, these witches refused to admit it.
He immediately retorted:
"Muhua Kai Yaji is not a monster!"
The puffing little witch almost rushed over.
Seeing this scene, Lin Zhengyang continued to tease:
"Ahh It's so cruel, so terrible, Lord God......"
Covering with wide sleeves, Lin Zhengyang lowered his head slightly...... The incantation was already beginning to appear on his cheeks.
This Shishen stand-in is about to show its original form.
"The gods are naturally good gods, and those who are not subject to living sacrifices are certainly not gods who need to be sacrificed by living people......
"Not a god? So who else is there to sacrifice? Is there any other god enshrined in Caspian at this shrine? ”
Taking advantage of the fact that there was still a little room to spare, Lin Zhengyang tried to get more information.
"It's impossible to think about it!"
Several shrine maidens could not bear to slander the gods they served to their faces.
"It's just a murderous knife, a ghost slashing knife that has killed thousands of monsters, quick words."
"I see......"
In the sigh, pieces of rune paper flew like butterflies, but it was this Shishijin who finally ran out of spiritual power......
