"Come here."

Jinguji Dongyu stepped on the sea and said softly.

Haruhiko and Yukihime jumped to their feet and stood next to her.

They looked down and saw the mystery.

Scallops have emerged from the former mineral forests at the tops of the trees, arranged in a special way to form a starry sky at the bottom of the sea.

"Circle."

Haruhiko said subconsciously.

This is the real circle.

Although they guessed that the Ore Forest was a magic circle, they had never seen the true face, so they could not solve it.

"Is there a way?"

Haruhiko asked.

With Yukihime and Jinguji Dongyu here, he didn't bother to use his brain.

Of course, the main thing is that he doesn't understand the magic circle.

Jinguji Dongyu did not answer, but raised his hand.

Under her control, the psionic energy sank into the sea, turned into a stream of water, and attacked the scallops.

But the moment it touched, it was blown around.

Just when Haruhiko thought he had failed, a new change appeared.

In the center position, the scallops swirl, forming a tornado.

Looking down from above, the passage is at the eye of the wind.

"Be careful."

Jinguji Dongyu reminded him of a bland sentence and jumped into the sea.

Haruhiko did the same.

A few seconds later, the three of them stood in the eye of the storm.

The originally hard ground has a stone staircase going down.

Jinguji Fuyugo walked in the front, Yukihime walked in the back, and Haruhiko was in the safest middle position.

It reminded him of the night he had played cards with them before, and the position was a bit similar.

The material of the stone staircase is the same as that of the forest outside.

And when they came in, there was a light on both sides, pearls.

Neatly arranged, all the way to the depths of the passage.

In a sense, it's quite extravagant.

Selling it to ordinary people, it is estimated that it will sell for a high price, but for psykers, it will be greatly discounted.

At the end, Haruhiko couldn't help but be stunned, he suspected that when he arrived at the Dragon Palace, the water was shining, and there were all kinds of fish.

It's not as big as the legend suggests, but it's amazing enough.

"It's an illusion."

With a wave of his hand, the originally beautiful picture suddenly disappeared and became a ruined wall.

The carcasses of scallops and fish were piled up everywhere, and because of the time that had passed, there was no flesh and blood, only empty shells and bones remained.

Haruhiko frowned, not knowing what had happened here, but to his confusion, he didn't see any signs of the battle.

It stands to reason that in the ruins of Takamagahara, you will either fight against alien demons or fight against Yaki Orochi.

It seems strange to die for no reason.

Haruhiko thought for a moment and stopped dwelling. His purpose was to find the Nine Swords of the Gods, not to explore the secrets.

His perception widened, and suddenly his eyes narrowed, and he turned his head to look north.

There was a hint of coldness there, giving him an extremely cold feeling.

It's kind of like when Yukihime uses a demon body.

But it's definitely not the Snow Maidens.

"Let's take a look."

Yukihime and Jinguji Furumo are also aware of it.

Haruhiko nodded.

The three of them stepped forward slowly, all vigilant.

This is the ruins of Takamagahara, and there is a greater chance of encountering enemies.

A moment later, a low palace appeared in front of them, but with a peculiar shape, like a scallop.

And the aura they perceive is what this palace emits.

"That's not right."

Yukihime raised her eyebrows and said, "This is the pepper map." ”

"Pepper Chart?"

Haruhiko's mind immediately conjured up a mermaid sitting on a scallop.

"Hmm."

Yukihime explained, "This palace is not a palace, but the demon body of Jiaotu. ”

"Dead?"

Haruhiko looked at the traces everywhere, someone had made Jiaotu's demon body into a palace.

"There's no life left."

Xue Ji shook her head and said, "The aura we sensed before was mostly something sealed in the palace, but I don't know if it was the Nine Swords of the Gods." ”

"Just go in and see."

Haruhiko took out the immortal and said, "You attack, I will protect you." ”

Yukihime and Jinguji Dongyu had seen him use immortality in their previous battles, and they had a lot of trust in the absolute defense of their skills.

Unless it's a god, it's hard to break, and it's a sense of security.

"I'll do it."

Xue Ji raised her hand with a serious expression, the spiritual energy rolled, the temperature around her dropped suddenly, and in the blink of an eye, there was an ice sword condensation.

In the next second, it was right at the gate of the palace. With violent psionic energy fluctuations, the door was slammed open, revealing the situation inside.

It was full of dead scallops, densely piled up in the main hall, and when it was attacked by Yukihime, it exploded outward.

As soon as Yukihime's mind moved, a faint barrier floated.

The scallops smashed on it and shattered instantly.

It didn't take long for the scallops to stop.

Colorful light, emanating from the inside of the palace, sets off the place like a fairyland.

When Haruhiko looked at it, he saw a huge scallop.

It was white and tightly closed, and the light was coming out of its body.

"What's the situation?"

Haruhiko didn't understand, so he asked.

"I don't know."

Yukihime looked at the scallops and said, "This is the first time I've encountered this situation. ”

Haruhiko looked at Jinguji Fuyugo again, but she also shook her head.

"In that case, then turn on violence."

Xue Ji said this, and with a flick of it, the spiritual energy turned into several pairs of giant hands, trying to open the scallops.

She frowned, no matter how hard she tried, she didn't move.

Seeing this, Dongyu raised his hand, and a huge amount of spiritual energy poured out.

All of a sudden, the entire palace was surrounded by surging spiritual energy, as if there was sea water again.

But even if they gathered the power of the two fifth-order psionics, the scallops were still as stable as Mount Tai.

"It doesn't look like brute force can be used."

Yukihime and Jinguji Fuyugo put away their psionic energy.

"I'll try."

Haruhiko slashed out directly with a sword, and the dim sword qi slammed into the scallops, but it was unscathed.

Immortal is a sixth-order spirit tool, and its sharpness is second only to the ten-fist sword.

The only thing that can withstand its attacks is the spirit equipment of the same rank.

In other words, this scallop was already equivalent to a sixth-order spirit tool.

Haruhiko was thoughtful.

He slowly walked over to the scallop and held out his hand.

"Haruhiko?"

Yukihime hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?" Beware of danger. ”

"It's fine."

Haruhiko shook the immortal in his hand and said, "I'm sure." ”

As he spoke, he pressed on top of the scallops.

In the next second, the game prompt sounds.

[Name: Throne of the Goddess.] 】

[Status: Seal.] 】

[Rank: Sixth Order.] 】

[Note: The treasure of the Gu Wei clan seals the secret of immortality. 】

Haruhiko said secretly.

This is indeed a spirit tool, because it is an ownerless spirit tool, so after contact, the game gives the relevant panel.

It's not a lot of information, but it's explosive enough.

What are the Bone Clan?

What is the secret of immortality?

Haruhiko didn't have any impression, he withdrew his hand and simply asked directly, "Do you know about the Guwei clan?" ”

According to the myth and legend of Toei, Izanagi and Izanami gave birth to the eight islands that are now available, but this does not include Hokkaido. The Guwei clan is an ancient race that lived in Hokkaido. ”

Jinguji Dongyu said expressionlessly.

"You mean this scallop has something to do with the Bone Clan?"

Yukihime couldn't help but ask.

"Not bad."

Haruhiko admitted, "I just got information, but that's all I have. ”

Yukihime glanced at him and didn't ask any more questions.

She actually realized early on that Haruhiko was hiding a secret.

But if he doesn't say it, Yukihime won't ask, so as not to embarrass everyone.

"Aunt Dongyu, do you know the clues related to the Gu Wei clan and scallops?"

Haruhiko immediately changed the topic, and he was not afraid of Yukihime's inquiry, and it would be difficult to explain when the time came.

"The Guwei people live by the sea and often come into contact with scallops. Judging by the scallops outside, their belief is the three goddesses of the sea. ”

Jinguji Dongyu said thoughtfully, "Maybe the way to open it is related to the three goddesses of the sea. ”

Haruhiko rubbed his eyebrows.

He didn't know much about the three goddesses of the sea, except for the scepter.

But the scepter of the three goddesses is the treasure of the merman clan, and it has nothing to do with the Guwei clan.

The only thing they have in common is that they all worship the three goddesses of the sea.

However, there are quite a lot of youkai and humans who believe in the three goddesses of the sea.

"Ten Fist Sword."

Haruhiko's eyes suddenly lit up, and he used Shikigami to summon.

As the psionic energy flashed, Izumi appeared.

This time there were no enemies, and her performance was a little calmer.

"Master, it's early."

Izumi glanced at Yukihime and greeted him in a proper manner.

"Ten Fist Sword."

Haruhiko stretched out his hand, and Izumi opened his mouth and spat out the ten-fist sword.

He looked at the scallops, hesitated for a moment, and then cut them off.

A dull voice rang out.

The scallop shuddered twice.

Haruhiko blinked, it seemed to work, but it didn't seem to work.

He hesitated for a few seconds, and was about to strike again when suddenly a golden light lit up.

Haruhiko subconsciously stepped back and looked at the scallops.

The golden light is like the newborn sun, revealing warmth.

The light gradually changed, and it turned into two huge lotus leaves.

The gold turns green, and the lifelike lotus leaves surround the scallops, as if giving birth to a new lotus flower.

Haruhiko subconsciously looked at Yukihime and Jinguji Dongyu.

The former looked confused, and the latter, although he didn't have much expression, still looked clueless.

Haruhiko really doesn't know whether to make a move or not.

Chop down the lotus leaves? I always feel like I'm going to destroy something.

According to the game's prompts, it was a secret related to immortality.

If it is destroyed, Haruhiko will definitely regret it.

Under normal circumstances, humans cannot live forever unless they reach the sixth order.

Haruhiko is sure that he will reach the sixth order, but the rest of the people are hard to say.

Jinguji Fuyugo, Tsuchigomon Mari and Yukihime and others are youkai, so don't worry too much.

What about Mashiro Tsuchigomon, Rin Hoshino, and Mina Utsunomiya?

If there is a secret to immortality, it must be obtained.

"If I remember correctly, the Guwei clan will be defeated by the Lilliputies."

Jinguji Dongyu suddenly said, "The little human race, which is said to be the size of a marmot, lives in the lotus leaf house. ”

"What a sloppy name."

Haruhiko couldn't help but complain, but the complaint was complaining, and the Jingu Temple Dongyu provided a lot of clues.

Since the Guwei clan has been defeated, it is understandable that their treasure fell among the villains.

The most important thing is that the Lilliputians live in the Lotus Leaf House.

It's all lotus leaves, does it have anything to do with the lotus leaves in front of you?

If it's a house, then whose residence is the scallop?

Wait, since it's a residence, there should be a door or a key to open.

Thinking of this, Haruhiko raised his ten-fist sword and inserted it into the gap between the scallops.

In the next second, there was a click like a lock.

The scallops slowly open and a tantalizing scent fills the air.

Haruhiko subconsciously held his breath.

No matter what the smell is, in the ruins of Takamagahara, it is possible that it contains highly poisonous.

In short, caution is the best.

The cyan light suddenly dispersed, and a delicate lotus flower appeared among the scallops.

The buds of the lotus flowers are tightly closed, and the fragrance emanates from the lotus seeds.

"...... this?"

There was a rare look of surprise on the face of Jinguji Dongyu.

"What is it?"

Haruhiko couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Wagtail Lotus Terrace."

Jinguji Fuyugo explains, "Legend has it that it was the wagtail who taught Izanagi and Izanami the rites of husband and wife, and thus gave birth to Toei and the gods. ”

Haruhiko was stunned.

Wagtail Lotus Terrace is the place where the two big guys are?

Is the story getting weirder?

"In the traditional wedding of Dongying, there is an ornament called the wagtail platform, which means a happy marriage and a full house of children and grandchildren."

Dongyu of Jinguji Temple paused and said, "The lotus seeds in there are the most treasures. ”

"What's the effect?"

Haruhiko had already guessed, but it was almost certain.

"I don't know."

Jinguji Dongyu shook his head, "I've only heard of this kind of mythical thing, but I've never really seen it. ”

"Are you waiting for it to open naturally? Or take it out by force? ”

Haruhiko frowned, looked at the closed lotus, and asked.

"My suggestion is to wait for it to open naturally."

Jinguji Dongyu explained, "It would be a pity if such a sacred object was unfortunately destroyed. ”

Seeing this, Haruhiko didn't make any more moves.

With the character of Jingu Temple Dongyu, there will be gaffes, which shows that this kind of thing is really amazing.

The prompt sound linked to the game, most likely is that you can live forever after eating.

Thinking of this, Haruhiko couldn't help but be excited.

Immortality has always been the dream of human beings.

He also encountered great demons such as Jinguji Dongyu and Yukihime, and that immortality was a must.

Otherwise, what will they do when he dies?

"How long will it take?"

Haruhiko looked at the jade-like lotus flower and asked.

"There's something underneath it that's nourishing it."

Dongyu of Jingu Temple stepped forward and said, "If my expectations are correct, it should be the Nine Swords of the Gods." ”

Haruhiko leaned sideways slightly, trying to see the Nine Swords of the Divine Punishment under the lotus, but was blocked by the light and could not see clearly.

He took out the Moon Venerable Monogatari again, and its red dot was here.

"If it's the Nine Swords of the Gods, then we can help it."

Haruhiko said in a deep voice, "As long as you activate it thoroughly, you can greatly improve the output efficiency." ”

As he spoke, he took a deep breath and slowly manipulated the psionic energy to penetrate downward.

Fortunately, his psionic abilities did not cause adverse reactions from lotus flowers or lotus seeds.

In the next second, the shape of a sword appeared in his mind.

A straight knife, or rather a sword.

Because it's not a hands-on contact, you can't check the relevant information, but it's relatively easy to excite, and you can just pour spiritual energy.
