I owe the female honor system a billion

Chapter 185 Qingshui Part Four

The objects of worship in Japanese shrines are all kinds of strange things.

Most of the shrines enshrine the famous gods such as Inari Daimyojin and Amaterasu God.

But in fact, in many shrines in remote areas, the objects of their worship are all kinds of very unpopular gods, most of which are related to local culture and stories.

There are also shrines, which directly worship some items that they think have special meaning, such as mirrors, knotted ropes, etc.
As for this shrine in Shimizu Village, under the huge shimenawa rope, there is no candle in the main hall of a small shrine. If it weren't for Zhen's excellent eyesight, Kaguya might not have found this shrine .

Under the Zhulian rope, there is a small plaque written in a calligraphy scroll in the middle of the top, with the real name on it, "Qingshui".

"Qiyomizu Shrine?" Kaguya glanced at the dark interior of the shrine, "It must have been searched by the shogunate, why is there no one there?"

Kaguya hesitated, and glanced at Shinobi behind him.

The people from the shogunate outside probably have discovered the soldiers who were really killed, and they are probably chasing them all over the mountains and plains now.
It's best for them to leave here within the evening, so as not to avoid the piles of shogunate soldiers during the day.

The most annoying thing about meeting the army is the huge number of people on the opposite side. No matter how powerful the force is, it is impossible to deal with so many soldiers with weapons at the same time, and it is the red army known for its force
"Tsk..." Kaguya, who had just stepped into the shrine, smelled a faint smell of blood. He rubbed the ground lightly with his feet to check if the ground was stained with blood.

The rough ground under his feet told him that he should still be inside
"Master Kaguya..." Zhen also noticed the bloody smell in the shrine, she slowly pulled out Sakura, walked in front of Kaguya, and gently placed an arm in front of Kaguya, sheltering Kaguya after the body.

After standing in the dark for a long time, Kaguya's eyes gradually adapted to the shadows, and he could even make out some vague shadows in the pitch blackness.

This shrine doesn't look very big. Entering from the main entrance, it seems that there are only some simple decorations around.Rather, most of the shrines in the countryside are like this, not as good as those big shrines in Kyoto or Guanzhong who like to decorate magnificently.

The sacrifices and decorations in the countryside are mainly practical, and most of the sacrifices are farmers' grain and dirty wine
Hey, is there something in there?
Kaguya's eyes swept across the darkness, as if he saw a bright white object in front of them in a blur.So he gently pushed the ninja in front of him, motioning her to move closer.

Putting Sakurami upright in front of him, he approached little by little. After less than ten steps away, Kaguya found a wooden table in the middle of the shrine. , some traditional offerings of Qingshui Village are being placed here.

But now there are only some bowls left on the table, and the sacrifices in them have gone to no one.

Kaguya looked up, and the desk was facing directly above, a white flower was hanging down slightly, even in the dark, it gave off a little gleam
The flower is behind the table, and it seems that the sacrifice on the table is prepared to worship this flower
What is this worshiping?
Kaguya frowned, touched his chin and began to think carefully.

"Squeak~"

In the darkness, Kaguya was still thinking, but suddenly there was a creaking sound of a wooden door being pushed open behind the shrine, Kaguya hurriedly looked around, but not only could he not see anything, but he felt a figure in his mind Come into the shrine
what?
Kaguya subconsciously grabbed the clothes of the ninja beside him, and pulled her to his side.

So, for a split second, Kaguya and Makoto looked at the shadow that was slowly walking into the shrine at the same time.

The moment the shadow came in, I seemed to see two people standing in the shrine. I saw that person's body froze, subconsciously shrank, hugged his head with both hands, moved his body little by little, and kept coming in. The posture is ready to walk outside the Gate Shrine.

Hui Ye's face darkened, this guy should not be from the shogunate, otherwise he wouldn't be so cowardly when he saw the two of them.

So, he yelled directly, "Stop!"

The figure stayed in place completely, and then glanced in this direction.

The three of them looked at each other for a second, the figure was silent for a moment, and then ran back.

"squeak"

The door behind him was opened again, and the figure slid out like a monkey, which made Kaguya's tooth ache.

Dare to run?
"Really!" Just as Kaguya spoke, the ninja beside him had turned into a shadow and rushed outside.The inside of the shrine was pitch black, and Kaguya felt goosebumps as soon as he left Kaguya. He hugged his shoulders all by himself, and suddenly felt all kinds of ghosts and snakes popping up around him.
He gritted his teeth, held the sword hidden in his bosom, and went out through the back door.

The shadows of the trees outside were swaying, and the long branches blocked the moonlight above the sky. In Kaguya's field of vision, it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

Where are the shadows of those two people?
Before Kaguya could recognize where his ninja was going, a woman's voice answered him first in the darkness,

"It hurts. Sister, it's really wrong."

Hearing the strange woman's voice, Kaguya breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, he didn't go too far, if he went too far, he didn't know where to find his ninja.

Although it was pitch black in front of him, except for some trees around, there was nothing particularly rough on the ground, so he came behind a few trees without falling.

There, a black-clothed ninja pressed a woman on the grass, and a knife blade that reflected silver light under the moonlight was stuck firmly on the ground, sticking to the neck of the woman next to her, as long as she moved a little bit, The blade would sink into her neck.

Of course, the woman also found the blade next to her, so she begged for mercy, but she didn't dare to move her body, for fear that the knife would accidentally get into her neck.

"Wrong. Really wrong"

Kaguya walked over, really turned his head, stepped aside slightly, but still stepped on the woman under him to prevent her from moving.

Getting closer, Kaguya could finally see the person who just broke into the shrine, and what caught his eye was a shiny bald head.

Shaved?

Hui Ye looked again, and saw that the woman who was really pressed under her body was wearing a white monk's robe, and there was a circle of rosary beads made of wood hanging on the woman's neck.

She begged for mercy and shouted, "Sister, the little monk was wrong. It wasn't intentional, it wasn't intentional."

Hui Ye turned her head to look at Xiang Zhen,
"What wasn't intentional?"

Zhen didn't answer, and turned his body a little bit sideways, so that Hui Ye could see that the monk was holding a long iron spear in his right hand, and then, Zhen put his whole body weight on the woman again, and continued, "She did it first."

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" When the woman heard that she was the one who did it first, she was so frightened that she was so frightened that she hurriedly cried and raised her reflective bald head. Really, trust me."

Turning her wrinkled and pitiful face back, she saw two people, one big and one small, staring at her expressionlessly under the moonlight, especially the handsome young man next to him, with a cruel smile on his lips.

She sighed in her heart, knowing that she was planted here today, so she didn't bother to continue to resist. Instead, she buried her bald head in the soil, as if giving up struggling,

"Hey, I've been wise all my life and you won't believe anything you say. Let it be up to you."

Kaguya was also speechless, this guy ran into the shrine and suddenly frightened himself, this guy hasn't settled with her yet, he dared to draw his weapon
He lightly kicked the guy's monk robe, and said,

"It's not as serious as you think, just answer me a few questions and let you go."

"Okay, okay!" The monk's bald head, which had already been buried in the soil, was pulled up suddenly, and the dirt on his face still couldn't stop her eyes that had begun to shine, "I must answer everything, I know. Answer everything!"
