Thirty-Four Nights: The Source of Blood
"Huh? Go on and let me see how much you can learn. β
"From the very beginning, when I switched to the legend of the tattooed girl, I started to wonder?" He scratched his head helplessly, "You say, right?" What kind of guy would give the snake to his own believers? Especially that snake can still live forever? β
He cushioned the earrings in his hand, "The devouring snake, which can also be understood as an Ouroboros, like a ring of Mebius, devours itself forever, unable to get rid of and unable to die, can only endure the pain of devouring its own body, and keeps living." β
"At first, I was still wondering if it would be an earthly python or another snake, but I found out that this is Japan, and those two things will not come all the way here to die, after all, the old man's lethality to snakes is still very strong, out of helpless speculation, I have to think of the guy with eight heads."
"So the question is? Why that guy? He put the earrings back on and sighed, "Because of the blood of the dead." β
"It's as if the tattoo of a snake is said to devour its own inscriber......
"It can devour itself, and then repeat the inscription, this should not be the effect of the blood of the dead at all, isn't it the same as the devouring snake? Of course, that's not all the reason, and secondly......" He suddenly pointed to the pile of tattooed shrine maidens, the body of the failed product in his mouth, "no matter how superb the tattoo skills are, there is absolutely no human being who can inscribe all tattoos exactly the same, not even the slightest difference." β
That's right, when he came in and saw the corpses of those tattooed witches, Ling Yan found a very serious problem: the tattoos on their bodies were exactly the same, and there was not even the slightest deviation in the lines.
This is definitely not what those blind stabbing girls could have done at the beginning!
However, this reason also explains why the assassin girl ended up having her wrists cut off and exiled!
"The only reason is that the tattoo is just the so-called ink injected into the flesh and blood of the tattooed witch, and all the lines are formed by the blood itself? Am I wrong? β
"That's right, and how do you explain the blood of the living?" She asked again.
"That's right, this has made me think about it for a long time, and I have to admit that you are worthy of being an expert at hiding things." Ling Yan nodded seriously: "I once thought about it carefully, why was the Xue Dai clan inexplicably wiped out?" But why was Linghua the only one left in that situation? The most troublesome thing is: why can the long-lived night boat conclude that Linghua has the potential to become a tattooed shrine maiden? It's just a few times you've met? β
"It all starts with the first actions of the Kushi clan." He looked at the corpses of the tattooed witches and shook his head:
"There has never been a success, the ritual of sealing the Gate of Yellow Springs. Or rather...... That ritual was simply breaking the seal. β
"Huh!?"
"How so?"
"Because, except for Linghua, none of her predecessors in front of her survived the level of sleep, but they all died with resentment, and then this is nothing."
"Why are all their skins stripped away and kept in a room?"
"It's as if the used sacrifice is ready to be reused. Is it really just for the sake of sacrifice? No, because it also contains the concept of someone's divine power. β
"But who gave this concept of divine power? Especially the pure solar power that competes with the dead? He raised his eyebrows, "If I hadn't finally advanced to a demigod and could barely feel a little divine power, I guess I would have been deceived by you a long time ago, right?" β
"But where did that power come from? The only possible source is the blood of the living, right? No, it should be called Amaterasu's blood now, right? β
"Using two divine powers to choose your own props, your determination is really admirable~tsk~" He looked at Amaterasu sarcastically.
"Go on, that's not all you have to say that I did everything."
"Nonsense, do you think I don't know the distorted meaning of the soul song you left behind? Anyway, you really can't get tired of playing this trick? β
He raised the corners of his eyes with a disdainful expression: "But it's also strange that the guys of the Jiushi clan are stupid, and the song with more than 80% similarity adapted from the medium song "The Path of the Heavenly Gods" as a medium song for sΓ©ance rituals can actually be regarded as a lullaby...... What the hell is it that makes you sleep listening to this thing? β
"The Path of the Gods" is a nursery rhyme that is very well-known in Japan, telling the story of the mother who deceived the child into taking him or her to a wilderness to kill him or her in order to prevent the child from starving because the family was too poor at that time.
In the process of returning, the child's spirit will cling to the mother and will never leave......
It's a very ghostly story, but according to Reimu, this story has another meaning:
After killing the child, the mother sang this song and prayed that her child would be happy in the other side of the world.
The innocent child no longer hates the mother, but will be elevated to the god of mourning, attached to the mother's body, so as to protect the mother from suffering, and finally when the mother and her family are happy, they will return to the world of the deceased safely......
Although it feels more ghostly to look at the explanation, but the essence of another meaning is: this song can make people meet the people who have died, but the people who have died do not want the people who miss him to suffer, but choose to protect them all the time, telling them: This world is happy, we only want you to be happy.
However, this also proves that the tattoo sound ceremony has been distorted again......
What was originally just a ceremony where the deceased could say goodbye and blessing to the living who missed him became a ritual that required pain and resentment to break the seal because of Amaterasu's slanderous interpretation......
"Song of the Soul Town", which was completely changed by Amaterasu from "Path of the Gods", completely distorts the meaning!
However, judging from this legend and interpretation, the status of the tattoo witch in it is equivalent to the existence of guarding the gate of the Yellow Spring, and there is no concept of jurisdiction and pain, but only needs to apply some tattoo liquid to the skin like makeup, and only belongs to the one in hell!
"So. The so-called inscription tattoo is just a transformation ceremony, at first it was to choose a conceptual ritual such as the god son who guarded the gate of the Yellow Spring, and to select the suppressor in order not to let the deceased act too excitedly, because Japanese mythology is called "lost myth", and the eight-headed guy is also a guy who once could rival your parents, and the god son transformed by its blood is probably not weaker than the ordinary land god, right? β
"Originally, it was just a matter of applying blood like makeup, but then you distorted the hidden condition, resulting in a cruel curse of skinning."
"At first, I thought that besides you, there are many people who have the power of the sun that can neutralize the power of filth, but you are the only one who does such a ghostly thing for the sake of the Gate of Yellow Springs, right? It can be seen from the time of the village of the gods. β
As he spoke, he threw a small fire with his fingers and threw it towards the pile of tattooed witches' corpses.
After a while, the corpse, which had been sleeping for an unknown amount of time, began to be incinerated by the flames.
Looking at the constantly burning corpses, Ling Yan stretched out a palm and put his five fingers together: "You are also afraid that if Linghua suddenly does not appear, so you will harm so many people in advance to become test subjects, and by the way, it will be used to prevent the divine power from being recycled, right?" β
"Use your own blood to transform the witch who was originally used to guard the gate into your own medium, but I didn't expect that ordinary humans couldn't withstand the transformation of two divine powers, so you chose your own bloodline offspring."
Standing up from the ground, the flames behind him were constantly burning, he looked at Amaterasu and asked:
"You...... How many more people will be killed? β
