I loaded the ghost talk game

Crunch——

The lantern in front of the shrine is shaking.

The dim yellow light was hazy, slightly dizzy in the air, and the thick mist particles were reflected through the light, and each one could be seen clearly.

But the light was still weak after all, and the places where the light couldn't reach were still gray.

Suddenly a cold wind blew through the courtyard.

The dead branches of the giant tree swayed violently, and the damaged human-shaped dolls on the ground, their hair and kimono clothes were floating, and they were tangled together in the dark, like a dead tomb.

"Giggle~"

Onizuka suddenly heard children's laughter mixed with the sobbing wind.

The outlines of some of the human figures standing around the shrine suddenly became weird, but also a little more vivid.

They are those dolls that look like children.

On their mottled faces, their eyeballs rotated and their bodies twisted accordingly.

In the blink of an eye, the movements of these child dolls changed from stiff and stiff to flexible, laughing and running. They pulled at the red thread surrounding the shrine, and footsteps and laughter resounded in the wooden shrine.

"These...are the dead spirits of children?"

Onizuka first made a fighting stance, and then realized that the dead spirits of the children had no obvious intention to attack her.

"Kekeke~"

They were still laughing and running, pulling down the thin red strings, tearing down many humanoid dolls, and finally entered the wooden shrine without looking back.

"Are they trying to lead me?"

Onizuka Kiriho twisted the talisman in her hand tightly and quickly chased into the shrine.

But when she came in, those children were no longer visible in the shrine hall, which was not too big.

The interior of the shrine was dark, and the lantern hanging at the door barely illuminated some things here.

Onizuka saw that this place was full of red thin lines.

Countless red threads are entangled with each other, winding around the shrine, and hanging from the beams, decorating the place like a red spider's nest.

On the front of the altar, there are also dense red ropes.

Under the red color, two human-shaped objects can be vaguely seen. The red ropes are entangled together like two giant cocoons, so that their original appearance is completely invisible.

"Are these red ropes... also the threads of the God of Fate?"

The little witch had noticed it before when she was outside.

These thin red threads seemed familiar, as if they were exactly the same as the thin threads wrapped around her wrists.

With this thought, Onizuka tentatively stretched out his left hand and touched the red ropes wrapped around the hall.

As soon as she touched it, the red rope on her wrist quickly floated out, and the dense red in the shrine also surged at the same time, floating into an endless sea of ​​red.

The red thread stretches extremely thin and long in the air, flowing, twisting and twisting freely. Each one seems to carry endless energy, constantly surging and extending, intertwined and entangled with each other.

Under the guidance of the red rope on Onizuka's wrist, they quickly gathered together and formed a regular outline.

Like... a bow?

A red longbow made of countless red threads, almost as tall as a person.

After the huge red bow condensed into shape, it slowly fell to the ground.

"This is?"

Onitsuka suddenly thought of what the folklorist Eri Sakai mentioned in his manuscript -

[According to book records. In the Tsuchimikado Village, in addition to the Amado Bronze Mirror, there is another treasure originating from the Child Goddess, which has been kept by a family in the village for generations. ]

Could it be this?

Is this the bow of the Childlike Lady?

In fact, it is not entirely correct to say that the object entangled with red threads on the ground is a bow, because it only has a bow handle, a bow arm and a bow tip made of red threads, but there are no bow strings connected to the two ends of the bow tip.

"Is it because of the red rope on my hand? I feel like this bow is... calling me?"

Onizuka Kirihot hesitated for a moment and picked up the long bow with red rope on the ground.

Although this red bow is huge, it does not feel bulky in the hand.

And you can feel an extremely surging force from above. This force is definitely not something ordinary people can bear.

Like belief in incense, albeit in pure, "good" power. But if it acts on the weak flesh and blood of ordinary people, this power of faith, which is of great benefit to ghosts and gods, will only kill people.

But the strange thing is that Onizuka was not counterattacked by the power of the red bow.

Only a tiny bit of the majestic power of ghosts and gods flowed through her body, and the rest was pulled away by the red rope on her left wrist.

The moment he raised the bow, the red rope wrapped around Onizuka's wrist began to float again. The thin thread floated leisurely, connecting the two ends of the red bow's tip to form a tight bowstring.

"Looks like I could use it."

The little witch thought this, and her thoughts moved.

The longbow string in her hand quickly disintegrated, swirled around her, and quickly dissipated.

And when she pulled the red rope at her wrist again, countless thin red threads rubbed her clothes and wound out again, entangled and meandered and converged into her hands, turning into the shape of a long bow.

Onizuka felt that the reason why this strange long bow was so compliant must be related to the special red rope wrapped around his and Kamiyagawa's wrists.

"Achuan said that this red rope comes from the God of Yuanjie... He and I may have been chosen by the God of Yuanjie to come to this place."

According to the available information, the God of Yuanjie should be the goddess of the sun.

So, can this long bow be understood as a gift from the gods?

"It's just that I don't know what special function this long bow has."

The little witch is already good at using bows and arrows, and can even condense her own spiritual power into magic-breaking arrows.

It's just that she can't identify extraordinary items as easily as Kamiyagawa.

This long bow, which is suspected to be a divine weapon, has no special usage yet.

But Onizuka thought that he should be able to use it like his own bow -

Pull the bowstring and use spiritual power as arrows to shoot at the enemy.

In this way, at least one more weapon can be used.

Therefore, the little witch planned to keep this red string bow with her.

Now Tsuchimikado Village has become more dangerous and weird to the naked eye. Onizuka Kirihotaru came here without bringing too many useful tools to remove ghosts.

Having a weapon that may come from the gods is not going to make things worse.

As the red lines throughout the shrine dispersed, the parts of the main hall that were originally covered in red were finally exposed.

On the central throne, Onizuka saw two tall statues standing condescendingly.

The statue of the god is old and mottled, and has a strange sense of compassion.

But standing like this in the dilapidated main hall of the shrine, it is strange, desolate and abrupt, which is inexplicably heart-stopping.

The statues on the altar are a goddess and a male god.

Considering that the two statues of gods were connected by dense red ropes, it seems to imply that there is an extremely close relationship between them.

The goddess statue among them is very familiar to the little witch.

Her facial features are soft, her clothes are somewhat like a witch's clothes, and her clothes are smart.

"The image of Tian Tian Nu Ming?"

Looking at the male god statue again, its most striking feature is the wings folded behind its back. The majestic red face and the protruding long nose are particularly eye-catching.

Like a tengu.

Onizuka immediately understood who this male statue was——

Sarutabi Kokami, also known as Sarutahiko no Mikoto, or Sarutobihiko.

Onizuka looked at the statue of Saruta Hikomei, trying to recall the mythological information related to this god in his mind, and was sluggish for a while.

"The child of the child, the goddess of heaven, and the life of Sarutahiko... So, this is really related to the third pillar of gods."

Tendenome no Ming and Saruta Hiko Ming.

There is also the childish goddess who is in charge of marriage.

Onitsuka Kirihot seemed to vaguely want to understand why these three pillars of gods were related to each other.

I also roughly understood why Tiantian Nu Ming committed suicide.

"Tian Tian no Ming committed suicide on Amado Rock, even breaking her own body into pieces... did she want to break the connection with Saruta Hiko Ming? And that connection may have been bestowed by the childish goddess?"

Onizuka was in a daze for a few seconds, and then heard the sound of children playing next to him.

They laughed, shouted, clapped their hands and sang nursery rhymes everywhere in the dilapidated and desolate shrine:

"The childish goddess on Takamagahara, the great god Sarutobihiko who walks on the earth, and what I didn't mention just now, the torn-up Tenden female life..."

…

Amado Rock, Grotto.

He rested for a while relying on the Breath of Ah Hum, until the medicinal power of Purple Gold Frost was fully applied to his body.

The previous feeling of weakness in the body has been completely gone.

Kamitani River set off again, trying to find the last fragment of the bronze mirror that might have been left at Amado Rock.

But just walked to the entrance of the cave.

Kamiyagawa suddenly felt a strange power emerge from the red rope on his left wrist, and slowly flowed to his body.

This breath is as warm as the lazy afternoon sunlight.

"Is this...the power of ghosts and gods?"

After feeling this power, Kamiyakawa suddenly felt that the connection between himself and Onizuka had deepened.

This feeling is a bit like the connection between him and the shikigami.

Moreover, the surge of power fed back from the red rope is indeed somewhat similar to the power fed back to him by shikigami shrines.

It was as if his men had created a strange shikigami shrine out of thin air.

"firefly?"

Kamitani didn't understand what happened for a while.

Is it possible that a living person can still become his own shikigami?

But soon, this idea was rejected by Kamiyagawa.

After feeling it carefully, he realized that the connection with Onizuka was different from the connection with the Shikigami Contract.

But I really don’t understand why this is happening.

"Is it because of this red line?"

Kamiyagawa looked at his wrist.

The next second, a thin red thread floated out and pulled slightly.

After waiting for a response, Onizuka sent a message:

[The third god, the husband of Tenden no Ming, Saruta Hiko no Ming. ]

"Saruta Hiko no Mikoto?"

Kamiyagawa knows the mythological information of this god——

Sarutahiko no Mikoto is a god recorded in the myth "The Arrival of Heaven".

The so-called Tiansun is the descendant Qiongqiongchuzun sent to the human world by Amaterasu.

When Qiongqiongshu came, Sarutahiko no Mikoto was still the Kunatsu god who was born on the earth.

In Japanese mythology, the concept of Kunatsu God is distinguished from Tenjin God.

The so-called Tianjin Gods are the gods born on Gaotianyuan, such as Sanguizi, Zhiri Nuzun, and Tiantian Numing all belong to this class.

He is considered a naturally noble species among Japanese gods.

The Kunijin Gods are some gods who were exiled to the human world, or simply a collective name for the gods who were born in the wilderness of the human world.

In comparison, the status of such gods is much lower.

After Saruta Yanming met Qiongqiong Chuzun in the human world, he took the initiative to serve as Tiansun's guide in the world. He once protected Qiongqiong Chunzun and guided him on the way forward.

Therefore, the authority of this god is also related to protection and guidance.

Moreover, just by looking at the image of Saruta Hikomei’s statue, we know that he is inseparable from the Tengu.

In some legends, the god Saruta Biko is considered the leader or guardian of the tengu. Together with the tengu, he protects the mountains, forests and nature. At the same time, Tengu is also regarded as the messenger or attendant of Saruta Viko, helping God Saruta Viko convey the divine will and execute the divine order.

To put it simply, Saruta Hiiko no Mikoto should be regarded as the ancestor god of Tengu.

Some myths even directly describe it as the first Crow Tengu born on earth.

In addition, Saruta Hiko no Mikoto also has a very special identity. In mythology, he is recorded as the husband of Tenden no Mikoto.

It is said that when the grandson arrived, Tenden's daughter was also in the escort team sent by Takamagahara, and she met Saruta Hikomoto and eventually got married.

The combination of Tianjin God and Guojin God.

"Are the gods here still a couple? So the one who fell into hell was probably Saruta Hiko no Mikoto. And as his wife, Adeno no Mikoto, may have an inseparable connection with him. In the end, in order to cut off and transform into the underworld god's husband The impact it will bring, you will not hesitate to kill yourself?"

"So...that's why those fate-breaking gods exist?"

"What exists in Amado Iwa is the resentment of this couple's gods?"

Based on the information provided by Onizuka, Kamiyagawa Lenovo guessed what happened on Amado Rock.

But before he could think about it, he suddenly felt the ground shaking, and the layers of fog in front of the cave in front became more and more turbulent.

Snap, snap, snap!

Then, the dark crawling sound of fingers on the ground came from the fog, and it was difficult to tell how many there were.

"The God of Broken Fate is here again."

The origami bird on his shoulder started to fly, and nine red spirits appeared around him.

Because the Amado Bronze Mirror was pieced together into five pieces, the red mist controlled by Mary poured out from inside the cave with the force of swallowing up the heaven and earth.

Red and black collide violently, at each other's throat.

And in the depths of the red mist, Kamiyakawa finally saw the familiar red and black dress swaying.

"Mary?"

But Mary is not perfect now. Her figure in the mist is very illusory, as if she has no entity.

There should be one final step before she finally appears here.

But Kamiyagawa pulled out the Doji Kiri and quickly reached the entrance of the cave.

At the intersection blocked by the red mist, you can see the silhouettes of many giant hands crawling up and down, waving red scissors, and they are restless.

No fewer than ten Destiny Gods are trying to break through the barrier of Mary's red mist!

But that's not all.

"that is……"

He narrowed his eyes and looked further into the mist. Kamiyagawa saw that at the blurred intersection of heaven and earth, the dark mountain range extending to unknown directions was rumbling and rolling.

The tallest peak among the mountains slowly stood up at the junction of heaven and earth, shaking off a mass of black creeping things like a flood.

That is, a god, a corrupt god. (End of chapter)
