Chapter 444: A shrine that shouldn't exist
The torii gate, which has peeled off a little bit of vermilion paint, is messy and luxuriant weeds growing wantonly, and the moss on the hand water house seems to have not been cleaned for a long time, making the entire pool look green. That kind of green oil not only gives people a feeling of life, but also a kind of dirty, after people glimpse it, they will feel a strong unhappiness, and with the water scoop that is also spreading with moss on the side, it is even more difficult for people to rise up the urge to pray at this shrine, and even want to avoid it!
Because,The shrine in this environment is not so much a shrine as a haunted house!
Let's ask, there is such a deep and strange place where the person who asks God and worships the Buddha comes back, there is no solemnity and sacredness of the shrine at all, and it is more of a haunted house and a frightening place to pray?
However, the reality is the opposite of what should have been taken for granted!
This shrine is very lively now, so lively that the words "shoulder to shoulder" and "crowd" can describe the grand occasion of the shrine now!
Why?
Because there is a real God here!
"You're playing all these tricks again, puppet." In the main hall of the shrine, Yi Daoren, who was holding a pipe, smiled and looked at the puppet that was lying on his body and rolling in the place where the god should have stayed.
"Pretending to be a ghost? Gollum ...... stopped his bone-rolling body, and the puppet's hands propped up his upper body: "Do I need to pretend?" I was God! ”
"Yes, yes, you are God...... It was originally a god. Shrugged his shoulders indifferently, Yi Daoren looked around, and then came to the puppet's side without minding at all, and sat on the altar that should have belonged to her alone under the puppet's wide-eyed glare: "The transformation is good, the things that the Holy Domain should have are here." ”
Sanctuary is a general term for places that are different from the mundane, representing places that are naturally different from the mundane world. It is indisputable that most religious sites have the name of sanctuary, but not every place can be called sanctuary...... In other words, in the eyes of a true monk, a place that does not meet certain conditions cannot really be called a holy area!
What are the certain conditions?
First of all, nature is pregnant with divine power, which can drive away evil and protect the safety of the holy area from foreign enemies!
In fact, most religious places have this, after all, the people praying in religious places will bring positive power to resist evil, but there is a difference in ability. If you want to reach the level of the Holy Domain, it is naturally not just as simple as exorcising evil, but you can take the religious place as the center and protect the party!
Just like the puppet is now in this shrine, although it looks extremely simple, but a radius of ten miles will be guarded by the power exuded by the shrine, any demons and monsters, as long as they do not surpass the puppet, they will not dare to step further!
It's just that...... What are the demons and monsters in this world?
Secondly, the most important point of the Sanctuary is that it has the power to soothe the soul, which is also the most important power of the Sanctuary!
Any life is always inevitable. After death, where should the soul go?
Heaven, hell, reincarnation, all these statements are people's speculation about the fate of the soul, and at the same time, it is also people's affirmation of the soul's destination!
But the existence of the soul, let alone seeing it by ordinary people, even if it is a monk, there are few things that can really touch it.
And the reason why the Sanctuary is a Sanctuary is because the Sanctuary can truly soothe the soul and provide the soul with a direction to return!
Hearing Yi Daoren's admiration, the puppet immediately put the unhappiness of Yi Daoren daring to sit in his place behind, and kowtowed and smiled: "Click...... You don't want to know whose territory this is! ”
"Uh-huh...... It's amazing. After a very perfunctory, but very useful reply, Yi Daoren asked, "What about the big barrel wood and Aresta?" Where have they gone? Not to mention, I also got a shrine like you. ”
"How can they have such a sense of responsibility, now they should be running all over the world, looking for good food." There was a slight complaint in the puppet's tone, as if they were blaming the big barrel of wood Kaguya for not taking her with them.
It's just that if she didn't insist on making a shrine to play with, who in this world could tie her up in one place?
"That's right......" Suddenly, as if remembering something, the puppet hooked the corners of her mouth, revealing a charming smile that did not match her body shape and appearance rather than cuteness: "Do you want to try what it feels like to be a god?" ”
Yi Daoren raised his eyebrows, looked at the puppet with a suspicious expression, and said, "What the hell do you want to do?" ”
"Gollum...... Let you try what it's like to be a god? With an abnormal expression of anger when his kindness was let down by Yi Daoren, the puppet opened its teeth and claws, like an enraged little animal, and kept roaring threateningly from under its throat...... Don't think it's an adjective, the puppet's roar doesn't seem to be anything to Yi Daoren or Otsuki Kaguya, but even if the girl Aresta hears it, she will feel like she is weak!
Everything in God is true and right, so if she shows anger, it means that she is really angry, and others should react to her anger!
If a mortal hears such a roar, he is afraid that he will already fall to his knees with weak legs, right?
In fact, the people at the shrine or the approach outside the main hall are all shaking their heads in horror with their legs weakened and looking around!
It was obviously a cloudless and beautiful weather, but they felt a sense of depression that a storm was about to fall for no reason, and their hearts were ...... No, it's that all the structures of the body seem to be held by some kind of force, and there is a great horror that can be pinched to death at any moment!
Feeling the abnormal situation reflected by the dragon veins of the people around him, Yi Daoren shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, it's not that you want to make a ghost. But you're going to tell me why. ”
Blinking, the puppet put away the anger on his face and smiled, "There's no big reason I just want you to know how long you've been doing useless work." ”
Raising his eyebrows, Yi Dao said, "How to be a god?" ”
Although he doesn't have much interest in being a god, Yi Dao people really want to know what kind of useless work they do.
"This ......" the puppet stood up and pointed his finger at the center of Yi Daoren's eyebrows.
"God-sama, please save my mother......
"Gods, please bless me with a speedy fortune......
"Kami-sama, if that person dies, I will definitely give you a lot of offerings......
"Kami-sama......"
Endless thoughts, whether malicious or kind, curses or blessings, all came into the minds of Yi Dao people one by one, and at the same time, he also sensed all the conditions of those people through these connections!
"The things you have pursued all these years are all leftovers that I have long played!" The puppet's proud voice resounded in the depths of Yi Daoren's consciousness.
It's just that Yi Daoren was not moved at all, just shook his head, and then continued to listen to the prayers of those people, until the puppet changed from interest to impatience, and then he said: "It may seem useless to you, but I think it is very meaningful." ”
After saying that, he got up and walked towards the outside of the shrine.
"Woo woo woo ......"
At that moment, a piercing siren sounded, heralding another attack by the Apostles!
In an instant, all the prayers that the puppet could hear were all about the apostles.
It's just that these don't mean anything to her, she just blinks and stares at Yi Daoren's back.
"You, how are you going to make up for yourself?"
