The Great River and Mountain were fought down, and Kamiyagawa gained a lot.

Got the fragment of the tail feather of the sky, as well as the bones of the god of Ibuki Damyojin, and the legendary famous sword boy Che Angang, who slashed ghosts, which can also be regarded as obtained in the great rivers and mountains.

As for the Shikigami under his hands, the one who benefited the most here was the dog god.

The dog swallowed a lot of the flesh and blood of the Ibuki serpent, absorbing and plundering a large amount of divine sustenance and faith power.

So far, the highest part of the flesh eaten by the dog god has come from Acheng Thunder God and Ibuki Orochi.

Coincidentally, these two pillars of gods are the dragon god and the snake god.

In Japanese mythology, dragons and snakes have a similar origin.

After swallowing the flesh and blood of the dragon god and the snake god, the dog god seems to have changed a little, although it is still a dog, but in the center of the skull worn on the head, a single horn has been faintly born, and there is also an obvious dragon snake breath on the body.

Kamiyagawa was very interested in the changes in the inugami, and did a detailed physical examination for it directly in the mountains.

He was already quite skilled at examining the bodies of Shikigami individually.

Without him, only the hand is familiar.

"In what direction is the dog transforming? Dragon dogs? ”

Dragon Dog.

Not to mention, in Kamiyagawa's now erudite knowledge of folklore and strange tales, you can really find an existence similar to this.

But it's a totemic beast in the mythology of the Chinese region-

Pan Gu King.

The legendary pan gourd is a dragon dog, seven points like a dog, three points like a dragon, with a sharp horn on its head.

In addition, it seems that the unicorn also has another name such as dragon dog.

"If you can eat the flesh and blood of a dragon and snake god again, will the change in the dog be a little more obvious?"

Kamiya speculated in his heart.

Moreover, if the dog god can really transform into a dragon dog in the true sense of the word, will it fit into the bones of Ibuki Damyojin?

"If the dog can hold Ibuki's bones...... Then he really became the nominal owner of the great country. ”

Kamiyagawa uses the name of the dog god to operate in the mountains and rivers, and if it ends up, the dog god can really become the lord of this monster city, it will really be a bit of a prophecy.

However, for the dog, there is no hurry to accept the bones of the gods.

At least we'll have to wait until it's promoted to A.

If the loyal and brave dog really has such an opportunity at that time, then Kamiya will also help it without hesitation.

Anyway, he is the "Emperor Taishang" on the Haiguo side, there is not much more, and he is not worse than the big country.

……

Because there are still various affairs to be dealt with in the big rivers and mountains.

After Kamiyagawa won the battle, he simply stayed here.

During this period, the Golden Bear Boy was quite peaceful.

The star bear boy who has already surrendered to Cheng went directly to assist Isohime, and was busy with the post-disaster reconstruction of Dajiangshan.

There are still some monsters in the mountains and rivers who have followed the stone bear boy to master the construction technology of human beings, and it is not difficult to mobilize these strange stories and cooperate with the manpower and material resources of the Takamagahara forces to rebuild and restore the Great River Mountain Castle.

Later, this small group of "architects" was still useful, and they could be directly assigned to various parts of the Haiguo and Ainu roots to participate in the local construction.

In addition, because of the assistance of Mary and the eight-foot girl, Crab Hime's incorporation of the Great Jiangshan Army has also come to an end.

Speaking of assistance, the eight-foot girl in it may be able to help, but Mary is not interested in this kind of thing that can't stay with Kamiyagawa, and she doesn't know what to do. Anyway, in fact, the two Aragami went to that station, and it was enough to give a deterrent.

The real management matters still have to be done in small cans.

Most of the scattered armies in the mountains and rivers were filled into the "Standing Army of the Sea Kingdom" led by Crab Hime.

The remaining small part, according to Kamiyagawa's instructions, is handed over to the Golden Bear Boy to manage.

I hope this king can perform well in his new position.

It's been a busy day.

In the afternoon of the next day, the little old man appeared beside Kamiyagawa and reported the situation on the north side of the palace that was being watched by one of his clones.

To put it simply, the aura on the side of the collapsed palace seems to be stabilizing.

Presumably the Ibaraki boy who entered the depths of the palace with the dying Ibuki Orochi has already had a result.

After receiving this information, Kamiyagawa immediately set off for the palace.

Inside the palace, which had been reduced to ruins, the fog had lifted. As far as the eye can see, it is all barren and messy.

After traveling inward for a while, Kamiyagawa came to the familiar Ibuki Daimeijin Shrine.

Naturally, the barrier at the shrine is long gone, and you can finally see the exterior of the building.

Compared to the exterior walls of the palace, which were almost completely destroyed into ruins, the Ibuki Daimyojin Shrine inside is still in good condition, although there are signs of damage.

The shrine is built of rough stone and wood, with vermilion lines outlining the white walls, and the roof of the main hall is covered with heavy golden straw.

Walk through the torii gate.

A huge python-like rope is wrapped around the eaves, and rows of zigzag-shaped white coins hang on it. In the windless environment, this row of imperial coins swayed, but the atmosphere was a little more solemn.

Kamiyagawa went straight into the main hall, and when he saw the Ibaraki boy, he knelt quietly in the center of the main hall.

It was still the same blood-stained white coat, with a bright red silk strip wrapped around his waist, and a beautiful big bow tied at the front of his abdomen.

The hood of the big man had been redraped over the Ibaraki boy's head, revealing the bulge of two ghost horns, from which the soft white hair hung loosely and loosely from the gap in the hood.

Not only that, but the ghost of Rashomon also re-tied his hands and feet with shackles and anklets.

The right hand, which did not actually exist, was completely wrapped in a bandage.

She can no longer see the fierce appearance before, and it seems that she has changed back to the delicate and weak "Tribulus Princess".

"You're here, Inujiro?" Ibaraki Boy was not surprised by Kamiya's arrival, "Maybe I shouldn't have called you that, because you're not a dog demon at all." ”

"Aren't you also a tribulus? Call me Kamiyagawa. ”

"Good. Outside, how is Dajiangshan? Star Bears and Golden Bears, are they still alive now? ”

"Both Star Bear and Golden Bear are doing well right now. According to our agreement, I will manage this place on my behalf in the future, so Dajiangshan will also be very good. ”

The Ibaraki boy looked directly at Kamiya with her soft eyes: "You'd better fulfill your promise, otherwise I won't let you go." ”

In the agreement between Ibaraki and Kamiya, if the latter really takes over everything in the Great River. That is to ensure that the ghost clan is treated well, and to ensure that the great rivers and mountains can continue to exist.

This is the last insistence of the ghost of Rashomon when he was trapped in the live fish hotel.

"You're a ghost." Kamiyagawa sat down lightly across from Ibaraki, "Don't worry, I've always done what I say." Why don't you tell me about your situation here, Ibuki, or how is the wine swallowing? ”

He ...... survived. ”

There seemed to be some emotion in Ibaraki's eyes, and he couldn't say it, as if he was happy with melancholy in it.

As her words fell.

From behind the ghost of Rashomon, there was a subtle sound of rustling.

It was like the sound of smooth scales rubbing against fabric, mixed with the "hiss" of a snake spitting out a letter.

A slender black snake, about a meter long, coiled out from behind Ibaraki and wrapped around the left hand of the Rashomon Oni.

"Hiss."

The slender black snake put the snake's head on the knuckle of Ibaraki's left hand, raised it slightly, spit out scarlet letters from its mouth, and stared at Kamiyagawa with a pair of red eyes.

Kamiyagawa: "Is this a sake swallow?" ”

Ibaraki Boy: "Hmm...... It was the last consciousness he retained. ”

Transformed into a black snake's wine swallow, there is no longer any divinity on his body, and even the aura of ghosts is very weak.

At first glance, it's just a weak weird talk that is not worth mentioning.

However, Kamiyagawa still saw a clue when he stared at it.

The current sake swallow seems to be connected to the breath of the Ibaraki boy, relying on the power of Ibaraki's ghosts and gods to support his existence.

No, not only that.

If you look closely, it seems that there is also a connection between Ibaraki itself and the shrine of Ibuki Daimyo that I am currently in.

"You think of yourself as the hub, connecting the sake swallow to this shrine, don't you?"

"You're really sharp." The Ibaraki boy smiled dismally, not denying it, "As you can see, I should have been in the shrine for a long time. Until the consciousness of Jiu Tun further awakens, at least he has to wait for him to transform into a ghost form again and establish a connection with the shrine independently. ”

"Is that so? My people will repair the palace and look after the shrine. Once in a while, I'll come over to see you. ”

"Want to woo me?" Ibaraki's eyes changed, and this time it was a clear teasing color.

"No, according to the agreement, you are already my person now, and you don't need to be wooed."

"Just vassals!" Ibaraki argued.

"Is there a difference?"

“…… Say whatever you want, in short, I can refuse your unreasonable request. ”

"I know, I know. So reasonable requests can be granted, right? Don't be bitter, no matter how I say it, I am also the life-saving benefactor of the ghost clan and even the entire country. Now that you are saved, you should be happier with your benefactor, right? ”

"Hmph."

The Ibaraki boy snorted coldly and grinned at Kamiya.

But it wasn't smiling, and beneath her bright red lips was a warning of the ghost's sharp teeth.

Kamiyagawa didn't care about this either.

I can see this kind of personality a lot.

The sister-in-law at home has such a bad temperament, isn't she still managed by me to be obedient?

"Speaking of which, why are you able to establish a connection with the shrine of Ibuki Daimyojin?" Kamiyagawa changed the subject, and at the same time looked around, through careful observation, he could feel the solemn atmosphere of the shrine more clearly, and slowly lingered around Ibaraki like a stream, "What is the relationship between you and Sakuto?" ”

"He's my brother, half-brother."

"Huh?"

This answer was completely unexpected by Kamiyagawa.

"Why are you so surprised? What do you think we're in a relationship? ”

"Uh...... It's hard to say. ”

What is the relationship between Shutun and Ibaraki?

According to folklore known to Kamiyagawa, if Ibaraki was a woman, it was rumored to be husband and wife.

If Ibaraki is a man, then he is a subordinate, and of course, there are more wild sayings that Ibaraki, who is feminine and feminine, is the "little surname" of Jiutun.

But in various folklore, only it is not said that they may be a pair of brothers and sisters!

However, there seems to be a brother's statement......

No, it's not!

Wary.

It's still impossible to say whether Ibaraki is a man or a woman, maybe in fact Ibaraki and Jiutun are still a pair of brothers?

Kamiyagawa: "Wait a minute, if the wine swallowing boy is your brother, then you are all descendants of the Yaki Orochi?" ”

"Or else? If that's not the case, how can I connect with the shrine of Ibuki Daimyojin? Ibaraki asked rhetorically, "However, Jiu Swallow's mother is also a snake god, but my mother is not, and the snake god blood in my body is very weak." So, I left Mt. Ibuki a long time ago and came to the vicinity of Rashomon. Later, Jiu Tun came to Dajiangshan, so I went to follow my brother. ”

"Wait, your mother can't be a white boar, right?" Kamiyagawa finally thought of something.

"How do you know?"

“……”

Regarding the relationship between Sakutsu and Ibaraki, as well as the connection between Yaki Orochi and Ibuki Damyojin, Kamiya has finally sorted out the eyebrows.

Whether it's the folk legends or the information provided by the shrine, it's hard to tell the truth from the fake because of the age.

To understand the real situation, it is still necessary to listen to the parties.

Now that I understand it, Jiutun and Ibaraki belong to the grandson of Yaki Orochi.

There is also an Ibuki Damyojin in the middle.

And the drunken boy can be seen as Ibuki, but not exactly.

After Sakuto's father, the original Ibuki Damyojin, was killed by Ujimei, the Sakutsu boy inherited his father's divine bones and became the second generation of Ibuki. And after that, he also killed Wu Jianming and completed revenge for his father.

In addition, the Ibaraki boy was born from the original Ibuki Daimyojin and a female mountain god in the form of a white boar in the Ibuki Mountains.

Kamiyagawa once looked at the materials provided by both the Ifuki Shrine in Shiga Prefecture and the Ifuki Shrine in Gifu Prefecture.

It is mentioned at Ifuki Shrine that Ibuki Okami is a huge white boar. This is in conflict with the statement provided by the Ifuki Shrine that Ibuki Damyojin is a giant snake god.

And because Kamiyagawa had already seen Ibuki Orochi at that time, he thought that there was a mistake in the record of Ifuki Shrine.

But now it seems that the records of Ifuki Shrine are not entirely groundless.

There really was a pig god in Mt. Ibuki.

It can only be said that the deeds of these gods thousands of years ago are inevitably biased because the time is too long and the records are not very detailed. But there is a little bit of evidence of the past facts.

"Ibaraki is not a survivor."

After listening to the Ibaraki boy's story, Kamiyagawa thought so.

The black snake entrenched in Ibaraki's left arm seemed to notice the strange change in his expression, and was "hissing" out the letter, looking at him with a puzzled look.

"Wait, there's one more question." Now Kamiyagawa still has one last doubt, "Are you and the wine swallowing boy brothers or sisters?" ”

"Huh?" Ibaraki's delicate and charming face flashed with obvious confusion, as if she was very surprised by the question, but then her expression changed to playfulness again, "Am I male or female, is this question important to you?" ”

"Just curious."

"If you don't want to have something to do with me, it doesn't matter if I'm a man or a woman, right? God, Valley, River, Great, Man? The Ibaraki boy seemed to have completely changed back to the previous appearance of Tribulus Terrestris, "Well, I'll let you verify it for yourself, and then our previous agreement will be abolished, how about it?" ”

Delicate, docile, and seductive.

The Ibaraki boy, who was originally kneeling, leaned forward towards Kamiya, his feet under his hips stretched back a little, and his bare toes in the front of the white footsocks were slightly bent.

Kamiyagawa raised his hand and pressed the shoulder of the other party, who was constantly close: "Ahem, remind me, your brother is showing his fangs at us." ”

Although I really want to give Ibaraki a physical check-up.

But the big rivers and mountains that have already arrived want me to let go, that's impossible! (End of chapter)
