I loaded the ghost talk game

It seemed that because of the influence of the red line, all the pale palms on Saruta Hikoto's chest became motionless.

But soon, the intensive sound of flesh and blood colliding and slapping sounded once again in Saruta Hikomoto's chest.

Those pale and swollen palms resumed action, but this time they no longer tried to grab anything, but instead tried their best to tear at the fleshy gap in Saruta Hikomoto's chest.

But at this time, the already weak and embarrassed Sarutahiko Mikoto himself was still in a stiff state similar to the chanting and swaying before "activating the ultimate move".

This gave Kamiyagawa and Mary, who launched a double-team attack on him, an opportunity.

The Doji Kiri and Onikiri in Kamiyagawa's hands buzzed and twisted into Saruta Hikomei's face.

Mary's bloody machete slashed into the back of His neck.

As soon as they succeeded in the attack, there was no pause at all. The second round of more violent attacks was like a gust of wind and rain, slashing at Saruta Hikomei.

Pieces of flesh, black maggots, and dirty blood slid rapidly from his body like a waterfall, with old wounds overlapping with new ones, and it was riddled with holes. Suddenly, this Yin God suspended in the air, rotten, filthy, and as heavy as a mountain, had a tendency to collapse.

At this moment, at the entrance of Tianhu Grottoes.

Onizuka Kiriho held the red bow of the childlike goddess in her hand, looked up, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Achuan and the others are going to win."

The red line just now was of course shot by Onizuka with the red bow in his hand.

One end of the slender lines wrapped around the swollen palms on Saruta Hikomei's chest, and the other end wrapped around the intact Amado bronze mirror beside the little miko.

"Just as I thought, the red thread shot by this bow can strengthen the original connection between things through entanglement and connection."

As for how to use this red bow, which originated from the goddess of childhood, Onizuka accidentally discovered it during the process of trying to escape from the pursuit of the Onmyoji Necromancer Group of Tsuchimikado.

At that time, she was in Tsuchimikado Village and was intercepted by the onmyoji group and the dead spirit of Chikako Takehara. In desperation, she shot the witch of the Takehara family with a red bow.

Then, the red thread shot out together with the demon-breaking arrow wrapped around the Takehara family miko, and also wrapped around the photo of Kanemaru Shizuji held in her hand.

At that moment, Chigako Takehara’s behavior changed——

No longer obsessed with seeking revenge on Onizuka who injured her, but hysterically shouting the name of "Kanemaru Shizuji" and rushing towards the undead souls of Tsuchimikado Onmyoji.

Onizuka speculated that the connection of the red rope may have strengthened the connection between Chikako Takehara and Shizuji Kanemaru.

It is even possible that Chikako Takehara's obsession with Kanemaru Shizuji restored some of her fragmented memories during her lifetime.

You must know that under the erosion of the miasma in the Tsuchimikado area, the victims who died here and turned into undead were extremely violent and completely irrational.

This influence of miasma is particularly obvious on ordinary people without spiritual power.

Take the couple Yuri Sakai and Taito Toshima.

Tateto loved Yuli deeply during his lifetime and was willing to take risks for her.

But after Taito died, he turned into an evil spirit under the influence of the Tsuchimikado area. The first thing he did was to return to his lover and kill him with his own hands.

Even if Chikako Takehara is a shrine maiden selected by the Tendo Shaman Festival, she cannot be treated like an ordinary person. However, after her death, she has been trapped in the Tsuchimikado area for hundreds of years. How crazy will her undead spirit be? Just imagine.

Even if Kanemaru Shizuji himself appeared in front of her, she might kill the one she loved with her own hands like Toyoshima Taito.

After the red rope connected Chikako Takehara to the black and white photo, judging from Chikako's attack on the dead spirit of Tsuchimikado's onmyoji, it seemed that she wanted to avenge her lover Seiji Kanemaru who died at the hands of the Tsuchimikado clan. .

Although Chigako was still crazy at that time, she was far from rational.

But her obsession with Kanemaru Shizuji must have been strengthened by the red rope.

It was precisely out of this consideration that Onizuka Kirihota tried to connect those pale palms with the Amado bronze mirror.

Onizuka just got some new information about what happened on Amado Iwa.

She already knew where the palms on Saruta Hikomoto's chest, including the God of Broken Fate in the shape of the palms, came from.

Those things were made from the contaminated flesh and blood of Tiantiannu after she committed suicide and split her divine body.

They were once part of the miko ancestral deity.

In other words, they are the current Tiantian female destiny.

The story begins when Onitsuka Kirihotaru filled in the last piece of the Amado bronze mirror——

At that time, Onizuka was surrounded by Onmyoji undead souls led by Tsuchimikado Yasifuku, and was immediately rescued by Mari who arrived.

As a god, Mary, when faced with an Aragami-level Onmyouji Necromancer group, would of course wipe them all out effortlessly.

After handling everything, Mary immediately escaped into the red mist and went to Kamiya River to help fight.

Onizuka Kirihotari stayed alone in the cave.

She saw the dead souls of Tsuchimikado Onmyoji turning into ashes and slowly dissipating, and she also saw a thick and yellowed ancient book falling down where Tsuchimikado Taifuku slowly disappeared.

That book records the Onmyoji of Seimei Kikyo.

It is a technique note left by the great onmyoji Abe Seimei of the Heian period.

It was mentioned in the manuscript of Toshiya Sakai that was found before that the secret method of Onmyodo passed down by Abe Seimei in Tsuchimikado village was only preserved in the Tsuchimikado family.

This should be it.

Onizuka stepped forward to pick up the ancient book, seized the last opportunity, and channeled Tsuchimikado Yaifuku.

From this, she mastered the secrets of the gods that only the successive heads of the Tsuchimikado family knew, and also saw the end of the direct lineage of Tsuchimikan——

…

Tsuchimikado Residence.

The environment of the mansion was so messy that it was difficult to see clearly, but there was no light from the sun and the moon, and it was groggy.

It is already somewhat similar to the scene of being engulfed by the fog in the future.

Firelight flickered everywhere in Tsuchimikado's mansion, and the sounds of erratic footsteps, shrill wails, and fierce fighting echoed together.

In such a chaotic situation, the head of the Tsuchimikado family, Fukuyasu Tsuchimikado, just sat quietly in the study, numbly flipping through a handwritten book that he had read countless times——

[...Before the death of the goddess Zhiri, she handed over the Tianhu Bronze Mirror and the Zhiri Bow to Tiandian Nu, who had a good relationship with her. ]

[...Ancestor Abe Seimei was ordered to do so in the face of danger, and he lived up to everyone's expectations and ascended to the throne of "co-lord". Tenden's female destiny, who was previously selected and guided Seimei, is the most suitable candidate for a "witch"... Tenden's female destiny protects the Abe family. ]

[The gods of the underworld are coming fiercely, and the war between the gods breaks out... The battle between the gods is fierce, and the gods wither... After this battle, Seimei died, but the portal of the underworld Hirazan was also roughly sealed. At this point, the world of ghosts and gods was completely separated from the human world, turning into the permanent world and the present world... The legacy of the underworld still exists, especially in the Qingshui Mountain area near Kyoto. ]

[Although the descendants of the Abe clan do not have the power of their ancestors, they will inherit the legacy of their ancestors and guard this place for generations. ]

[Qingshui Mountain]

[In the Qingshui Mountain area, there is a gap leading to "Amado Rock", one of the battlefields of the God War. After the separation of the eternal world and the present world, Tianhu Rock is no longer between the two worlds, vast and void. ]

[Tiandian Nu Ming]

[Saruta Hikotomo, who surrendered to the underworld, fell on the battlefield of Amado Rock. After Sarutahiko Mikoto's death, Tenden's female destiny was too entangled with her former husband, and she was in danger of falling into hell... Sarutahiko Mikoto is very likely to be resurrected with the divine body of Tenden's female destiny...]

[...Before she completely degenerated into the underworld and caused irreversible disasters, Tenden no Ming committed suicide at Amado Rock and split herself apart, thereby severing her marriage connection with Saruta Hiiko and suppressing Saruta's revival... Tenden no Ming The blood of flesh and blood has been contaminated and transformed into wild gods, eating away at the faith of their temples and shrines. ]

[The grievances between Tenden's female life and Saruta Hiko's life cannot be dissipated on Amado Rock, forming a night carving. As soon as the night carving comes out, there will be hundreds of miles of wasteland. ]

[Amado Shaman Festival]

[Witch rituals are bloody and cruel, contrary to human ethics, but they can indeed prevent the resurrection of the underworld god in Tiando Rock, and block the overflow of the night...]

[If the shamanic sacrifice fails, the descendants of Tsuchimikado will need to take the last resort...remember, remember...]

"The last resort."

Tsuchimikado Futai murmured like this, raised his head, closed his eyes, and closed the book in his hand.

The Tsuchimikado family has still come this far.

By this time, the chaotic sounds throughout the mansion had stopped.

Bang——

The study door was pushed open from the outside.

A man in his forties, who looked somewhat similar to Tsuchimikado Yasifuku, strode in.

This is Taifuku's youngest son, Tsuchimikado Tai'an.

He was originally supposed to be the successor to the next head of the Tsuchimikado family.

Tsuchimikado Taian held a bloody straight sword and a torch in his right hand, and three bloody human heads in his left hand. He just walked into the dark study room. The sacrificial clothes on his body were stained with blood, and looked even more hideous under the light of the torch.

"Father."

"Um……"

"It's been taken care of. The clan members have all gone to the sacrificial building." Tai'an added.

"Um."

The old patriarch looked at his son and continued to nod numbly.

All the clan members went to the sacrificial building.

Maybe many people go there voluntarily.

But there will always be people who are unwilling, and there will always be people who don't want to die.

And the fate of "unwilling" is already very clear——

The old patriarch looked at the head in his son's hand.

The face that was familiar in the past is now pale and unfamiliar, and the outline of the facial features is covered by haze. All you can see is the unclosed eyes on the head that are wide open. It is unclear whether the last emotion left in the eyes is fear or resentment.

"Father." Tsuchimikado Tai'an called, and then he knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily, "Tai'an leaves first."

"Um."

The old head of the Tsuchimikado family fell into a trance. When his eyes focused again, his son had already left the study.

Through the open door, one could see the faint light of fire moving towards the sacrificial building in the darkness.

"The last method."

The old patriarch shook his head and stood up from the desk.

This is the fate of the Tsuchimikado clan.

He has stayed in the Qingshui Mountain area for generations, guarding the gap leading to Amado Rock. Acting as an executioner, presiding over bloody shamanic rituals, using human life to fill the cracks in the hatred, so that the God of the Underworld on the other side will not wake up, and the night will not come to the world.

And if the Amado Shaman Festival fails completely, Yakko's aura will leak out.

Then, the ancestor who developed the witch sacrificial ritual thousands of years ago also left the last remedy to future generations.

There is no other way——

The direct descendants of the Tsuchimikado family, those spiritual onmyoji, will use their lives and their blood to fill the sacrificial tower deep in the mansion.

The Tendo Shaman Festival has been going on in Tsuchimikado for nearly a thousand years.

Such a long sacrifice, the blood shed by the Tsuchimikado clan has long been associated with the Amado Shimon.

When Ye Ke is no longer able to stop it and pours out, the entire Tsuchimikado clan will be sacrificed alive. Through the last ceremony, the breath of Ye Ke can be suppressed as much as possible, and the entire village that has begun to be affected by Ye Ke will be suppressed. They were all sent to a place similar to Amado Rock.

Not in the ordinary world, nor in the void of this world.

Tsuchimikado Yasifuku performed the last rites alone outside the memorial building.

After finishing everything, he raised his hands and slowly straightened out the wrinkles on his clothes, straightened his waist as much as possible, and then walked inward towards the door of the memorial building.

"There's just one last step left."

Inside the pavilion, blood was flowing everywhere, and it seemed sticky and warm.

The old master slowly walked up to the second floor and walked into the room where the Amado Bronze Mirror was once enshrined.

The smell of blood is strong here, and the corpses of clan members have piled up in mountains.

Tsuchimikado Taifuku saw his children also lying in a pool of blood, and they were also here...

Of course.

The old head of the family couldn't keep his eyes on his children. In the end, he just cast his eyes on the blood-stained straight sword blade on the ground.

It was white and bloody.

Taifu stepped forward, knelt down in front of the piles of corpses, and sat down.

When he looked up again, his hanging white hair was stained with blood and stuck to his wrinkled face.

Taifuku Tsuchimikado tidied up his clothes one last time, then picked up the straight sword that belonged to his youngest son and put it against his neck.

Since it is a sacrifice for the entire clan.

So as the head of the family with the strongest spiritual power, how could he be exempted?

"...Taifu is incompetent."

Tsuchimikado Yaifuku raised his chin slightly.

so--

Can people be treated and used like objects?

Can a person's destiny be arranged step by step, even life and death?

Tsuchimikado Yasifuku thinks this is okay.

Whether it is the life of his tribe, the life of his children, or even his own life, it is all okay.

This is sad.

But the people of the Tsuchimikado family were born with such a fate.

"What will happen next?"

Before slitting his own throat with the sword blade, Tsuchimikado Yasifuku asked himself this.

Suppose the thing in Amado Rock is a time bomb that cannot be defused.

Then the people of the Tsuchimikado family have been guarding the bomb for generations. At a fixed time, they will hold the Tendo Shaman Festival to delay the explosion of the bomb, so as to survive.

But when there is no other way, when the last ceremony must be held...

This bomb seemed to be adjusted to a "random explosion" state, and then buried in a corner that no one knew about.

The only thing that is certain is that this bomb will explode, maybe decades later, maybe hundreds of years later.

Because no one can guard it anymore.

There is no Tsuchimikado family, and there is no witch festival. In the Amado Rock in the void, the night breath that the Tsuchimikado tribe suppressed with the lives of the entire tribe will eventually continue to accumulate, and the God of Underworld will slowly wake up.

As long as the Yin Shen revives and breaks through the void with the breath of night, it is not difficult.

It will be done sooner or later.

So, what will happen next?

Will someone come to save this place?

How to save it?

Tsuchimikado Yasifuku really doesn’t know.

And the thing in front of him was the last thing he could do.

"Maybe this is a relief?"

The blade of the straight sword passed across the neck without hesitation.

The old figure slumped down, warm blood spilled out, and merged with the blood on the ground...

The Tsuchimikado lineage is the direct descendant of the Great Onmyoji Abe Seimei.

After the Heian period, Seimei's fifth generation descendants learned the "Amado Shaman Festival" and felt ashamed of their ancestors, so they stopped using the surname "Abe" and changed the family name to "Tsuchimikado".

Thousands of years later, in the generation of Tsuchimikado Yasifuku, the whole family died in the Yokotsu disaster due to the failure of the witchcraft festival.

The direct line of Tsuchimikado was completely severed. (End of chapter)
