Chapter 11: The Eight Mirrors
"What four items? I'll send them right away. ”
Akira Nagaozaki immediately said that in order to save Heijokyo and his own life, not to mention four items, even forty items, he would send them in the shortest possible time.
Reiko looked at him and spoke slowly. "Imperial Sacred Wood, Yellow Spring Jade Branch, Eight Mirrors and Grand Sacrifices. ”
"Eight...... Yaga Mirror?Reiko-sama, are you talking about the Yaga Mirror, which is one of the three artifacts alongside the Kusanagi Sword and the Eight-Foot Qiong Hook Jade?" Akira Nagaozaki, who was taking out his mobile phone and preparing to make a call, put down the phone and asked with a stammer.
Reiko nodded.
Suddenly, Akira Nagaozaki showed a loveless expression.
That's the Eight Mirrors, the legendary national treasure, where can he, the deputy director of the Public Security Investigation Department, take it.
What's more, others don't know, he doesn't know yet, the Yaga Mirror has long been lost, and the Yaya Mirror placed in the Ise Jingu is a fake at all.
The Emperor is still offering a bounty for the search for the Eight Mirrors.
This seems to be the summoning of heaven recorded in the Book of the Empress of Divine Skill...... The ritual of the great god. ”
Tomioka Yoshimasa originally wanted to talk about the Amaterasu Imperial Palace, but he immediately realized that Reiko was serving the main god of the Heavenly Palace, so he changed his words.
"Is it true that what is written in that book? It is not a mythical book invented by someone else in the name of Queen Himiko, but a book written by Queen Himiko that records all her rituals and practices?"
"The Book of the Empress of Divine Skills"?
Shigenaga Tanaka took this book to heart.
This was the second time he had heard the name of the book.
The first time I watched a video of the blessing of the gods on the Internet, and the book was mentioned in the commentary subtitles.
The second time was here.
He decided to buy a copy of the "Book of the Empress of Divine Skills" to study after he went back, maybe he could also cultivate spiritual power, become a guest of honor for the big figures in high society, and become a great onmyoji from then on.
The strange scene representing the Yellow Spring descends slowly but firmly, and the high-rise buildings rising from the ground are swallowed up by the Yellow Spring, dyed with a layer of dusk color.
When the people hiding in the dwelling saw this, they either rushed out or let out an apocalyptic scream inside.
Reiko slashed her palm with the tip of the Demon Breaker Arrow.
Crimson blood gushed out, and she dipped her fingers in the blood and wrote one strange incantation after another on the ground.
After writing, Reiko ignored the wound in the palm of her hand and made a seal on her hands.
"Enchantment!"
Boom!
The incantation lit up.
The invisible barrier was propped up, covering the entire Heijo Kyo.
The strange sight of the falling and the enchantment collided together, stopping the downward trend, and the dim light representing the Yellow Spring was plated on the enchantment layer after layer, but it was never able to break through the enchantment.
Reiko explained slowly, "I can hold on for six hours, and after six hours, my spiritual power will drop to the point where I can't support the enchantment. ”
"Six hours...... It's too late to retreat at this time. Nagaozaki gritted his teeth, picked up his mobile phone and called the prime minister, telling him what was going on here.
......
In Nagata Town, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, a group of people gathered at the Prime Minister's Office.
Among these people, there are priests, onmyoji, mages, and heads of various departments, and their identities are different, but the same thing is that the complexions on their faces are very bad.
They had already had a meeting for a day and a night, and they hadn't slept for a day and a night, and it was foreseeable that they would have to hold meetings here until the matter of Heijokyo was resolved.
Prime Minister Masamune Tagawa answered the phone, and his brows were about to become the word Sichuan, "Nagaozaki Shoji has sent a message that the great priest of Reiko wants the Imperial Sacred Tree, the Yellow Spring Jade Branch, the Eight Mirrors, and a grand sacrifice to summon the main god of the Heavenly Imperial Middle School and cut off the connection between the Yellow Springs and the Peace Castle Castle. ”
It is easy to say that the former is everywhere, and the latter can be solved with an executive order, and I believe that at such a time, no one will make trouble.
But Huangquan Yuzhi and Bajia Mirror are not easy to say, the former has never heard of it, and the latter has long been lost.
"The jade branch of the Yellow Spring?"
One of the mages muttered, "It is recorded in the Toei Shoki that Izanami was burned to death by the fire after giving birth to the fire god Kagoku, and Izanagi chased him to the Yellow Springs Death Country because he missed Izanami. ”
"Before entering the Yellow Springs Dead Country, Izanagi plucked a jade branch flower from the present world and brought it to the Yellow Springs Dead Kingdom, intending to give it to Izanami as a utensil to please the Divine Mother. ”
However, after her death, Izanami was covered with maggots, and when Izanagi accidentally saw such an ugly goddess mother, she was so frightened that she fled from the Yellow Springs Dead Country. ”
In the process of escaping, Izanagi accidentally left the jade branch flower in the Yellow Spring, and the jade branch flower has since taken root in the Yellow Spring and is known as the Yellow Spring Jade Branch. ”
A jade branch flower born in the Yellow Spring?
It's a real name.
Prime Minister Masamune Tagawa muttered in his heart and asked, "Where is the Huangquan Jade Branch?"
"In the Yellow Springs. The mage spoke.
Prime Minister Tagawa Masamune nodded, "Gentlemen, which of you is willing to go to the Yellow Spring and bring out the Yellow Spring Jade Branch?"
There was a sudden silence in the Prime Minister's residence, and the mage who had spoken at the beginning stopped speaking at this time.
Go to the Yellow Spring to bring out the Yellow Spring Jade Branch?
Do you think we have spiritual powers, or do you think we are Izanagi?
It's quite easy to get in Huangquan, as long as you commit suicide, but the question is how to get out?
"Gentlemen, don't you want to share your worries about the country?" Prime Minister Masamune Tagawa felt his eyelids jump suddenly.
If you can't solve the matter of Heijo Jing, you don't have to wait a few days, and he can announce his resignation and leave class as soon as it dawns tomorrow.
"Prime Minister, it's not that we don't want to help, it's that we don't have the strength to enter the Yellow Springs, but we can't get out of the Yellow Springs ....... ”
An old priest moved, "The only one in the entire Dongying who can enter the Yellow Spring to obtain the Yellow Spring Jade Branch and bring it out is the Great Priest of the Mercy Son. ”
As far as he knew, the people present, whether they were onmyoji, priests, or mages, one was counted as one, and all of them were ordinary people like himself.
I usually fool ordinary people, and I really have to move the real thing, to ensure that one is more embarrassing than the other.
If it weren't for the existence of the Great Priest of the Mercy to refresh his three views, he really wanted to say that there was no spiritual power at all, and all of them were lies.
He proposed, "Your Excellency, why don't you ask the Grand Priest of Reoko to help." ”
Prime Minister Tagawa Masamune nodded, he called and communicated with Akira Nagaozaki, hung up the phone and said, "Grand Priest Reiko agreed to go to the Yellow Spring to pick the Yellow Spring jade branches, but there is still the last one of the four items - the Eight Mirrors. ”
Some people in the Prime Minister's Mansion who didn't know the truth looked at the priest of Ise Jingu in unison when they heard this.
The priest of Ise Jingu, the lord of the Ise Shrine, the old minister, was dripping with cold sweat on his forehead.
