"Such a trophy, even if you give it to me, Master, I may not dare to ask for it!" Luyeya waved his hand again and again, "And if you can help Master Pranya, Master, you just need to use it." ”

Just like the red envelopes that were "kept" by the parents, the sub-box kept by Kamiya for Xiaolu, the final right to use it naturally fell into the hands of him, who was the master.

With this set of boxes, the direction of authority of the Pranya Shrine can also be preliminarily finalized.

Yes, it is related to curses.

However, the shrines that Sister Satoru built for other Shikami before started with two powers.

Prajna naturally can't be left behind.

And after Jue identified this set of pick-up boxes and reserved it as one of the core materials of the Pranya Shrine, she said that she also had some ideas about the other core materials of the shrine and other basic materials.

Maybe it was inspired by this set of pick-up boxes.

"Since there's nothing to do with me here, I'm going to give you the souvenirs I brought, right? I've brought a lot of them back. After "gifting" the trophy that nominally belonged to him to Master for disposal, Kanoya stood up from the ground, "I told you Master, I also brought back a whole Massuba crab!" Now the matsuba crab paste is fatty and tender, but it is delicious. That's right, that's right! I've got to put it in the kitchen quickly. ”

The girl pulled on her slippers and trotted away.

Kamiya smiled and looked at the lively figure of his apprentice and ran away.

Therefore, Xiaolu went home for a holiday, and he really gained a lot, and he got the strange relics of the strengthened hearse group, and he also directly helped Prajna break the bottleneck in building the shrine.

Thinking about it carefully, the time when the fawn fell into Matsuzawa, the result of the incident seemed to have brought benefits to Mary, allowing Mary to grasp a kind of emotional core.

So, this girl ...... Unexpectedly prosperous her teachers?

"But ......"

Kamiyagawa turned his head and looked at the sub-pick-up box on the floor of the utility room.

Although this box is very useful to you, Sister Jue's side has also identified it, and there is no mess left on the box, and it will not have any side effects when used to build a shrine.

But so far, there are still several questions that have not been clarified -

Who made this set of boxes?

The curse master who made the box, why did he curse and kill the entire Xiao Binze more than a hundred years ago?

Is it a sacrifice to kill all the creatures in the entire region, or is there some kind of hatred?

When Kamiya was in Hakkoda , he also went to the area that was originally Kobinzawa to check it out.

There was still a slight remnant of the curse's power, but after a long time of washing, the remaining curse could no longer directly curse living creatures.

At most, it will cause some physical and mental adverse effects on ordinary human beings who go deep into it.

The whole Xiaobinze is barren, and the vegetation has grown tenaciously, but there are no large animals to be seen.

"Although Xiao Binze was erased more than a hundred years ago, the curse master who made the sub-box should have died at that time. But this kind of thing, I can't say for sure......"

Even a thousand-year-old antique like King Xingshi can be revived and troubled.

If the Cursed Master who made the sub-pickup box was still alive now, Kamiyagawa wouldn't be surprised at all.

……

"Hey."

The fawn first sealed the foam box, and put the snow leaf crab that was still vigorous in the seawater and put it in the kitchen.

Then he began to send gifts to the various weirdos in the family that he brought back from this trip back to Aomori.

Everyone has a share.

Even the crab in the perennial world, Isohime, Rabbit Pill, and Xiaolu have prepared gifts, although these things that don't have an extraordinary atmosphere can't be sent directly into the inner world, but the heart is passed on.

After a while, Shikanoya returned to his room.

The Jizo statue of the eight-foot woman is standing in the corner of the wall.

"Lord Eight Feet, I've brought you a gift too!"

As the words fell, the red silk scarf of the Jizo statue became a little brighter, and the ghost of the tall and plump white dress floated out.

Shikanoya leaned in affectionately, and mysteriously handed a stack of hand-drawn drawings to Lord Eight Feet: "This is a special chapter that I have taken the time to draw when I am home." ”

Then she ran out of the room and headed for the second floor.

I guess I went to Satoru and Ayakori to give them gifts.

The eight-foot woman lowered her head and looked at the sketch in her hand, only to see that the cover read- [Qu Qiang Young Soul Killer VS Train Cat Demon]

In the book drawn by Xiaolu, the last one with the title of "Young Soul Eliminator" is still an eight-foot girl herself.

Look through the drawings.

Sure enough, the image of the protagonist boy Soul Remover is the same as last time, with ten or even nine points like Kamiyagawa.

"Is this going to make a series?"

Keep scrolling back.

The image of the heroine of the special can also be seen-

It's a train cat demon wearing a somewhat ragged kimono and a monster girl shape, stepping on two huge burning wheels.

Majestic, full of oppression, but with an indescribable charm, especially the lights of the train, which are thrilling.

However, it's a little less interesting than the eight-foot woman.

In terms of figure, the eight-foot woman is still very confident in herself.

"Xue Nai, this kid, don't talk about the train...... Why did you still draw her in the book? ”

Weird, go ahead and taste it.

The eight-foot woman raised her hand, and the door of the bedroom on the first floor slammed shut.

……

Takamagahara.

On the edge of the crimson torii gate in the center of the shrine hall, heavy yellow-green fluorescence dances.

Kamiyagawa's figure emerges from it.

He came to find Sister Jue with the set of boxes this time.

However, after coming up to the God Hall, he found that the three craftsmen under his command, plus his allies who sold medicine, were all here.

Jue, the foot-selling mother-in-law, and the medicine seller are talking about something in a corner of the god hall.

The candle-making monk sat cross-legged next to them, not participating in the conversation, just listening, while at the same time busy rubbing the candles.

As a boss, Kamiyagawa likes such hard-working employees who don't want to waste a minute.

"Ahh~ The co-master of ghosts and gods has arrived."

Satoru turned his head and waved his hand at Kamiya.

The medicine seller nodded at him with a smile, while the foot-selling mother-in-law and the green-skinned little monk bowed respectfully to their protectors.

"Why are you all here?"

The scene of craftsmen gathering together is still relatively rare.

Especially the medicine seller who saw Shenlong without seeing the end, Kamiya didn't ring the bell to find him in the past two days, which means that he came back to Takamagahara by himself.

This trip is free of charge, and there is no low cost.

"I found some useful clues, so I came back to Takamagahara." The medicine seller's face painted with oil paint is still smiling, with an unpredictable expression.

"Does it have anything to do with your master?" Kamiya walked over to the craftsmen.

"Not really." The medicine seller shook his head, "It has something to do with the strange craftsmen." ”

"Could it be ......?"

"Well, we're finding the source of that power, and I seem to know what it is."

In Kamiya's impression, there is only one important matter related to the craftsmen at present-

It is the invisible existence in the eternal world, the power of persecution and strange craftsmen.

The master of the candle-making monk, as well as the master of Jue, have all disappeared because of this force, and it is very likely that they have even been killed.

It is also because of this that the little monk and Sister Jue choose to stay in Takamagahara all the time.

The Craftsman Monsters are an indispensable special group under the Kamiya River, and after blessing the craftsmen, Kamiya has been looking for the source of this strange power in the perennial world.

Unfortunately, nothing came of it.

At the same time, the medicine seller, who walks freely in the world, has been paying attention to the affairs of the craftsmen in addition to worrying about the master's affairs.

Clearly, there has been some progress in his investigation.

Kamiyagawa: "So, why? ”

The medicine seller did not continue to sell Guanzi, and gave the answer directly: "Because of the ancient god of Jinshan." ”

"Huh?"

Kamiya, who has been learning about folklore and mythology, is not too late to keep up with the topic.

The ancient god of Jinshan, he knows the situation of this god.

This is the second generation of gods under Izanagi and Izanami, and in mythology, Izanami was burned because he gave birth to the fire god Kaguto, and his body was overwhelmed.

At this time, the god Kanayama was born from Izanami's vomit.

In Japanese mythology, many gods are born from the filth of the Father and Mother Gods, and even the Three Noble Sons are no exception.

Judging from the generations of the gods alone, the god of Jinshan and the three nobles are the same generation.

The name of "Jinshan Bigu God" means "a great male god who guards the metal produced in the mine and makes people feel awe", so this is a craftsman god.

And it is the first craftsman god to be born.

Later, other gods related to craftsmen were born, such as the son of the god of the gold mountain, the god of forging, "the god of the golden house"; Another example is the "jade ancestral life" related to jade and gemstone processing; The "Eighty Fierce Gods" of the timber construction industry, and so on.

But these craftsmen gods who were born later are all lower than the ancient gods of Jinshan Bi.

The god of Jinshan can be understood as the "ancestral god of craftsmen".

Even in the modern world, the influence of Jinshan God as the ancestor of craftsmen is still not to be underestimated. For example, Japan's automobile giant Toyota Group has also been paying tribute to the ancient god of Jinshan Bigu since its establishment.

Selling medicine Lang: "The ancient god of Jinshan Bi is the ancestral god of craftsmen, you should know that once you choose to become a craftsman, it is different from other strange stories. One of the manifestations is to sacrifice one's own combat effectiveness in exchange for artisan skills. In addition, the craftsmen are all believers in the god of the gold mountain by default, and their various skills can also be understood to be obtained from this god. ”

"So, this has to do with the power that persecuted the craftsmen......"

"According to my investigation, the Golden Mountain God probably hasn't fallen yet...... But it is likely that He has gotten out of control for some reason. The craftsmen all serve this god by default, and when they grow to a certain stage, they will naturally become his subordinate gods. Once the craftsman becomes a subordinate god of the golden mountain, he will be counterattacked by the power derived from the golden mountain god. ”

Hearing the medicine seller's explanation, Kamiya thought of the previous thing-

The little green-skinned monk and his master, the candle-making monk, are missing and his whereabouts are unknown.

The little monk was left alone in the deserted temple of Inuming Pass until he was picked up by Kamiya.

As for Sister Jue, her master seems to have died in front of her.

Later, he felt that he was invaded by unknown forces, and he scrapped several props on his body before he was able to get out and fled to Fu Fu's hometown.

"So, the candle-making monk may have realized that something was wrong with his body, so he chose to leave suddenly? As for Sister Jue's master, he probably didn't have time to react, so he died on the spot? These two craftsmen, before they disappear and die, will probably become the slaves of the god of Jinshan. ”

Following the information given by the medicine seller, Kamiya made such a guess in his heart.

Then he looked at the medicine seller a little confused.

"Well, I'm a little special." The medicine seller understood the meaning of this inquiry, and spontaneously gave an explanation, "I had my own shrine a long time ago, and later I also accepted the divine bones sold by Clam Beibi, and I happened to get rid of the affiliation of the Jinshan God. ”

Well, that sounds like it does, right.

"Fortunately, the medicine seller brought important information in time." Jue sighed, "Before that, I didn't know that I belonged to the believers of the Golden Mountain God. I thought it was ...... The extra skills and knowledge in my mind from time to time come from the inheritance of divine craftsmen. And with so many soul crystals from Kamiya and so many candles, my skills have risen very quickly. It is estimated that it will not be too long to cross the threshold of God. Now, I don't dare to move up the ladder anymore. ”

Sister Jue's skills have improved rapidly, and it is estimated that she will soon touch the threshold of the Jinshan God.

The candle-making monk is still a lot worse.

But for the sake of safety, the two of them probably won't continue to improve their skills in the future.

Kamiyagawa: "So, if you want to solve this problem, you either have to find out where the runaway craftsman ancestral god is, or you have to build their own shrine for Sister Satoru and the little monk like the medicine seller?" ”

"It should be."

"Hmmm......"

Kamiya looked at the foot-selling mother-in-law on the side again.

The latter understood and said: "The old body does not have the experience of having more knowledge out of thin air in his brain, and probably does not belong to the believers of the Jinshan God. ”

It seems like this.

The foot-selling mother-in-law from the wild road has never belonged to the formal weird craftsman.

Relying on the power of my own "thinking", as well as exchange and learning, it has developed so far. The research on the flesh and blood that is being carried out now is also completely on its own.

It should be much safer than the little monk and Sister Jue.

But to be on the safe side, Kamiya will also have to consider restricting the candles that are given to her.

It's not me, the boss, who wants to owe you your salary, it's really because of the situation.

"So, the matter of the Golden Mountain God must be resolved, but where is He?" Kamiya was a little distressed.

"I don't know yet, but I'll pay attention to it next." The medicine seller said.

In the activities of the ordinary world, Kamiya has to rely on the gods to carry out, so the collection of information is not as good as the medicine seller who acts freely.

Now I can only ask him.

However, with the establishment of power in the eternal world, there is no shortage of strange stories under Kamiyagawa.

"After that, let's discuss it with Isohime again and see if we can draw some suitable people and set up a scout team, led by one of the little old man's outer bodies, to help me collect useful clues from all over the world."
