[Leaving the dilapidated shrine, you embarked on a journey back to the Spirit Court non-stop. Without the darkness and fog of night, you are no longer disoriented, and you have found your way to the nearest village. It was a dense forest path to the south, and after about two hours of walking, you finally saw the smoke rising not far away. 】

[Descendant of the Sword Bearer's bloodline talent effect triggers!] 】

[At this moment, an extremely burly man came from the opposite side, his face was full of scars, and his hands were wrapped in heavy and lengthy white chains, and when he saw you, his eyes lit up and he stopped. 】

Kitahara Xiu's heart tightened, shouldn't he have encountered any powerful ghosts and gods again?

It's just been resurrected not long ago, and after waiting for twelve hours, he won't be sent away directly by the ghosts and gods, right?

[The burly man came up to talk to you, it turned out that he was a descendant of the craftsman clan, and after leaving the clan land, he traveled around, forged weapons and equipment for various forces, and looked for traces of psychics. 】

[In the Nara period, after the Spirit King established the Spirit Court, the psychics walked in the country of the reeds, hunted demons and slashed ghosts, helped many people, and made many like-minded friends. The Artisans are skilled in forging weapons and equipment, and are one of the important companions of the psychics in the Land of the Reeds. 】

[After the Spirit King was divided, the once powerful Spirit Court gradually declined, divided into various small and medium-sized forces, and the psychics also hid in the world one after another, and disappeared. The artisans were labeled as 'filthy' and forced to serve the aristocracy, with only a handful of descendants in exile, giving the occasional psychic some help in casting. 】

[Would you like to exchange sigils with the foundry, Madoki Shisaro?] 】

[Hint: Exchanging sigils is the only way to create a solid connection with other people, both parties can transmit information over long distances through imprints, and as intimacy increases, imprints can also teleport items and even teleport themselves to each other's side.] However, every time you use a Mark, you will consume a certain amount of Ghost Resistance, and the consumption is positively correlated with the degree of use. 】

[At the same time, the intimacy with other characters continues to increase, and you can also unlock various social relationships, trigger special plots, and obtain exclusive rewards.] 】

Is this the social system inside the game?

Kitahara Shu suddenly, isn't this so-called exchange mark just adding the other party's friends?

But this game is really picky.,Even the use of the social system has to consume ghost resistance.,In this way,Ghost resistance is not only physical action.,It also has skill points、Currency and other attributes.,It's the most important resource in the game.,You must find a way to improve your ghost resistance in the future.。

[You have successfully exchanged sigils with Madoki Shishang, and you can now access his basic information through the Book of Imprints.] 】

Kitahara Shu saw that there was an extra book printed with a diamond symbol next to the ghost book below, and when he clicked on it, he saw the exclusive page of Matsuki Shishiro.

His seal is a round shield.

[Name: Matsuki Shishiro]

【Occupation: Foundry】

[Affiliation: Round Wood Family]

[Casting grade: white chain (from low to high: white, blue, purple, red, gold)]

[Intimacy: 1 (acquaintance)]

[Matsuki Shishiro is surprised to see a newly awakened psychic in such a remote area, he is happy to talk to you, this is the era of war and demons, information is extremely important, if you can provide valuable information, he will also give you a certain reward, and vice versa. 】

Three new options pop up in the game interface.

[1.Tell Madoki Jushiro about the Iwatoryu swordsmanship]

[2.Inquire about nearby areas]

[3. Ask him to help forge a weapon and equipment]

Kitahara looked at the three options, and his first reaction was whether talking to other characters would consume the ghost resistance.

Ghost Resistance is a very valuable action power, which directly determines the progress of his game progress, and cannot be consumed at will.

The first option is ruled out first.,Kitahara Show doesn't know whether this round wood Shishiro is an NPC or a gamer like himself.,Although it's a comrade-in-arms from the same camp from the background story.,But it's not an ordinary game.,It's a weird game that reduces the life of a single death.,You can't gamble with your life.。

Both the second and third options can be chosen, but if this is a one-time choice, if you choose the second consultation, you will miss the most important weapon forging.

Kitahara Shu held his mobile phone and suddenly found that because the reward of [Hundred Ghosts Night Walking] could be embodied into reality, it had brought significant help to his life, and when playing the game, unconsciously, he became cautious and thoughtful, and was no longer so casual.

And calm thinking has always been his strength.

Or focus on core needs.

Shu Kitahara chose the third option.

The plot text emerges directly, without deducting the ghost resistance.

[You took out the skin of the ghost god relic, the raccoon dog, and Matsuki Shishiro was quite surprised by this, but he didn't expect that a newly awakened psychic had already killed the ghost god. He had heard from his grandfather that novice psychics would usually choose to go back to the Spirit Court first to find a partner, and it was safer and more likely to win by teaming up to kill ghosts and gods, and you obviously completed a hunt for ghosts and gods alone. He was curious about your bloodline talent, but didn't ask, because that would be very rude. 】

[In view of the fact that you already have quite a lot of combat power, Maruki Shishiro recommends that you make the skin of the raccoon dog into a piece of armor, and he can help you forge it into a decanter-level armor for free, and if you are willing to pay some compensation, the power of the armor will be increased.] 】

Kitahara Shu gave the skin of the raccoon dog to Matsuki Shishiro and asked him to help make it into a decanter-class armor.

Ghost relics can also be broken down into ghost remnants to directly improve the proficiency of spiritual arts and increase the power of skills, while forging into weapons and equipment requires the help of a caster of the craftsman clan.

The former can do it directly, the latter needs help, and in general, the benefits should be greater for the latter.

Kitahara still doesn't know most of the game's mechanics and gameplay, which is also the charm of word games, everything has to be explored slowly as you play.

This is where thinking becomes even more important.

Decomposing the skin of the raccoon dog can directly increase the power of the Rock Tiger Flow swordsmanship, and it is certainly not bad to feed back into reality, and hand it over to Matsuki Shishiro, he can get a decanter-level prop, the value is generally not lower than that of decomposing into ghosts and gods, and it can also verify one of his guesses-

Can the weapons and equipment obtained in the game be embodied in the real world?

If you can, once the game is popularized, the world will definitely set off a bloody storm.

[Matsuki Shiro took your raccoon dog skin and promised that the casting would be completed in 12 hours, do you choose to leave now and go to the village ahead, or continue to talk to Madoki Shishang.] 】

It doesn't look like a one-time option anymore. Kitahara let out a long breath.

[You decide to talk to him first.] 】

[You asked Madoki Shishiro for information about the surrounding area.] Originally, this was the top prefecture under the jurisdiction of Aomori County, Awa Province, Nankai Province, and the village in front of it was called Onimu Town, which covered a large area with hundreds of households, and was the only village within a few dozen miles in the vicinity. 】

[Walk sixty miles to the east, cross the Ghost Mother River through the ferry to the other side, and you can see the main city of the supreme lord, Okuno Castle. There, there are bustling bazaars, thousands of people, and more information and supplies. Maruki Shiro tells you that he has seen a shrine dedicated to the statue of the Spirit King in Oku-no-Castle, and if you want to meet other psychics, you might be able to try your luck there. But now start rushing to Okuno Castle, and you'll probably get lost in the vast forest by nightfall. 】

[He suggested that you can stay overnight in Onimucho and wait 12 hours before coming here to find him and take away the armor, but Onimucho looks a little strange, and he doesn't recommend that you communicate too much with the locals in the town.] 】

This conversation also didn't deplete Kitahara Shu's ghost resistance.

The good brother of Maruki Shiro gave him a lot of useful information.

It seems that in order to complete the main quest of returning to the Spirit Court, it is necessary to go to the city of Oku, and it is easy for big cities to inquire about news and buy supplies.

It was also mentioned in the information that this place was in Aomori County, and it was the top leader.

Kitahara Shu's grades in ancient history class were among the best, and the knowledge stored in his mind was immediately rummaged through.

In the Heian period, the administrative divisions were as follows: country, county, prefecture, and town (village), and compared to the administrative division of the country, the national level was equivalent to the provincial level, the county level was the city level, the county level was the county level (district level), and the town was the village town.

If it corresponds to modern Japan, this Aomori Prefecture is equivalent to Tokyo City, the administrative level of the most senior is similar to that of Shibuya Ward, and the core area of Okunojo Castle is almost the same as the most prosperous area of Shibuya Ward.

Awa Province is in Tokushima Prefecture, and there are a total of 16 cities and counties under Tokushima Prefecture, and if Mogami also compares it with the real area, maybe there is a prototype of it on the map, and so on, and some clues can be found in Onimu Town.

Judging from the information given by Matsuki Shishiro, Onimucho is the only place where he can spend the night to avoid the fog and ghosts, so he has to go, but this strange town name is related to ghosts and gods as soon as he hears it.

It should be a small copy.

Let's go and experience it first, and then check the information to find Onimu Town after getting new information.

[You said goodbye to Matsuki Shishiro and came to Onimu Town.] 】

[Next to the stone monument outside the town, you found a broken shrine dedicated to the spirit king, after the spirit king was divided, it is said that the essence in the body escaped to all corners of the country of reeds, and became a broken shrine that only psychics can see, and after lighting the shrine, psychics can teleport at each shrine at any time, but due to the loss of spirituality of the spirit king shrine, every time you use it, you will consume a certain amount of ghost resistance. 】

[You lit up the shrine of the Spirit King in Onimu Town, and the next time you die, you will be resurrected here.] 】

This is the respawn point and teleportation array? Kitahara Shu complained in his heart about this door-slamming game, and even teleportation consumes ghost resistance!

Then continue to tap on the screen to see the plot behind.

[You walked into the rather lively Onimu Town, and were stunned to find that unlike its eerie name, this village is peaceful and quiet, and the villagers who come and go are simple and innocent, and they often have smiles on their faces, and they have no rejection of you, a foreigner. 】

The folk customs are simple? Keep open doors?

The Heian period in Kitahara Shu's memory was impoverished, and the upper class frantically enslaved the lower class people, and did not treat people as human beings.

[You wander around in the town of Onimu, and find that there are small decorations of different shapes hanging in front of the eaves of every house, which are extremely beautiful. 】

Akihara Shu held his mobile phone and soaked a bowl of cup noodles, ready to serve it for lunch.

Knowledgeable?

The talent of the descendants of the sword bearer is not there, is it a hidden advantage?

But no matter how you look at it, the descendants of the sword-wielder are all psychics who are biased towards martial arts, and it is reasonable to put the attribute of erudition and strong knowledge on the reader of ancient books.

Or is it a property of its own?

A shocking thought flashed through Kitahara's mind.

Could it be that [Hundred Ghosts Night Walking] can not only read their own thoughts, but also read the knowledge contained in their heads?

[Weather vane (吹き流し), a decoration that hopes to improve the ability to weave and sew; Waste paper cage, which can be used to fill and cut the remaining waste paper; fishing nets, which are used to pray for catching big fish; I hope that the whole family will live a long and safe life; a small purse, praying for better fortune and savings; Pakito, a doll made of origami or something in the shape of a kimono. In addition to the hope that sewing technology will advance, there is also the meaning of making it a substitute for diseases and disasters; Five-colored poems on which people would write their wishes and hang them high, and it was said that the closer you got to the sky, the easier it was to fulfill your wishes. 】

Isn't this a decoration that would be hung during the Tangram festival in ancient Japan?

Shu Kitahara had seen similar images in ancient history textbooks.

Because you have these memories in your mind, can the game character recognize them in [Hyakki Night Walk]?

He thinks so, but unfortunately he can't verify the authenticity.

The allusion of the Japanese Tangram Festival originated from the Chinese country, and during the Heian period, the Tang Dynasty brought local culture, materials and other things to the relatively barren Japan, which had a significant impact on Japan at that time.

Under the cultural export, many legends and myths in ancient Japan have the shadow of Chinese mythology.

The so-called Tangram Festival is the same as the Chinese Qixi Festival, but here, the protagonists of the story are Zhiji and Yanxing, and the content is also different from the Cowherd and Weaver Girl of Qixi Festival.

Orihime is the goddess who was in charge of weaving kimonos for the gods, also known as Tenkio Orime, and was the favored daughter of the god king Amaterasu. Amaterasu found a handsome and well-known male god Yanxing to be her husband.

Hikoxing was in charge of herding the sacred cow in Takamagahara, but after marrying the Tenyi Weaver Girl, the two hid at home every day to have fun, slacking off their own work and angering Amaterasu.

Amaterasu was furious, separated the two at opposite ends of the galaxy, and ordered them to work endlessly throughout the year, and only saw each other once on the seventh day of the seventh month, in order to meet smoothly, the two worked hard, and did not dare to slack off for a moment.

In Kitahara Xiu's view, this adaptation is quite funny, but it is also quite in line with the local environment of Japan, otaku and otaku are punished by the highest will at home, in the current society where the class is solidified and Buddhism lives, it makes people feel quite immersive.

[The town of Onimu covers a small area, hundreds of families live in the center of the town, and the strange thing is that the row of houses in the center is simple and dilapidated, full of villagers, while the houses in the outer circle are gorgeously decorated and well-made, but the doors and windows are closed and no one lives in. As you walk around, you get to find it stranger and stranger, and although the villagers are kind, the smiles on their faces remain the same, like machines, and even the angle of the rise is very consistent. 】

[And when they look at you, there will always be a trace of inexplicable eagerness and excitement in their eyes, which is definitely not the expression that a normal person would show to a human being. Do you realize that staying in Onitamachi for a long time is not a good option, do you want to continue to wander around the town, or do you just leave and find a new place to live? 】

Sure enough, it's a problematic village.

If the real body enters the [Hundred Ghosts Night Walk], Kitahara Shu will not risk his life 100%, and definitely takes the Gou Zi Jue as the core survival rule, but now it is a word game, and there will be no progress if you don't explore, Madoki Shishiro also said that there is only such a village nearby, and after dark, he will face countless wandering ghosts and gods, and Onimu Town is the best choice for spending the night at the moment.

[You still choose to stay and continue to hang out.] So where are you going to go next? 】

[1. A gorgeous house with closed doors and windows outside the village]

[2.Dilapidated houses where villagers live]

[3. The only place of worship for the gods in Onimu Town, Orihime Temple]
