I loaded the ghost talk game

Click - click -

The hemp rope extended for a section down the deep valley.

Kamiyagawa jumped off the cliff with a leap of faith, turned around in the air with the help of the pull of the hemp rope, and stepped on the steep and slippery rock wall with his feet.

Just this level of pulling would not put any burden on his body at all.

Using his feet to push off the cliff, Kamiya swung away from the edge of the cliff and controlled the hemp rope to extend again.

After jumping like this a few times, he could successfully reach the valley below.

It only took about three minutes for Kamiya to reach the middle of the cliff with steady movements.

"It's pretty easy."

He looked toward the valley below and could clearly see the dark, solid ground.

Just as Kamiya was about to continue heading down, he suddenly felt a different kind of breath and heard a voice coming from high above his head.

Click, click.

It was like a sharp metallic sound made by two sharp blades rubbing against each other.

Kamiyakawa raised his head suddenly.

About ten meters above him, a huge red scissor was crouching on the steep cliff!

The red scissors clung to the damp, untenable cliff like a gecko.

Under the scissors, is... the palm of your hand?

Or it can't be called a palm.

Pale flesh and blood were pieced together to form the shape of a huge hand, with several swollen fingers firmly clamping the ends of the scissor handle. At the same time, there are more pale palms of a smaller size, pieced together under the main body's big hand.

Countless fingers, like the abdominal legs of a multi-legged creature, are densely clinging to the cliff.

The black rock wall, the red scissors, and the pale flesh are all distinct and eye-catching among the clouds and mist in the valley.

Click, click!

The two rusty blades opened and closed, but they kept making extremely sharp sounds.

"What is this?"

When did it appear there?

At the moment of Kamiya's surprise, the giant stitching hand lying on the rock wall, holding the scissors, crawled darkly and quickly, "click-click-click" towards the "Hanged Man's Rope Reins"!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Kamiya grabbed the "hanged man's rope reins" and jerked his wrist.

The rough hemp rope above loosened the black boulder that bound it, making a "creep" sound and quickly shrinking downwards.

Click!

The two blades of the rusty giant scissors intertwined, but they were barely dodged by the [Rope Reins of the Hanged Man] that shrank towards the Divine Valley.

In this way, the props were barely saved.

However, Kamiya was still hanging in mid-air at this time.

Without the protection of the safety rope, his body became heavy and fell rapidly towards the valley.

The strong wind whistled in the ears, and in the foggy vision, the monster figure composed of scissors and palms lying high on the cliff was quickly pulled away.

Gala Gala——

The sound of the skeletal fascia stretching came from the right side of Kamiya's weightless body.

The ghost face tattoo pattern on his shoulder blades became distorted. Although the red face and fangs were ferocious and domineering, it was also a bit coquettish, becoming more vivid and ready to come out.

Ibaraki's hand roared out of thin air, and the dark ghost scales wrapped in black light and red halo buzzed, arranged closely, and wrapped in black light and red halo, reflecting the violent glimmer.

Under the appearance of Ghost Hands Tyrant Kong Wu, there are invisible muscle textures, but the smooth lines seem to be made up of fine meandering rivers. While strong and full of power, there is also a bit of strange femininity.

This strange external arm opened its claws and grabbed at the dark cliff.

The cliffs are steep and slippery, making it impossible to gain strength.

But the claws of the ghost hand were firmly embedded in the depth of the solid rock, and the sharp friction sound that made the teeth chatter was heard, and at the same time, it also slowed down the speed of the fall of the divine valley.

It fell a few more meters.

The ghost hand that had been embedded in the rock wall exerted force again, and the violent claws pinched the rock fragments and flew away.

Although Kamiyagawa and Onishou were only connected through the tattoos on their shoulder blades, they were integrated. This time, he finally stopped his downward trend.

Let him hover in mid-air.

Looking down again, it was only five or six meters away from the ground.

This height might be enough to kill a demon hunter, but it was nothing to the current Kamiyagawa.

Letting go of the ghost hand, he landed lightly on the valley floor.

Compared with swinging down step by step with the help of a safety rope, the process of grabbing the cliff with ghost hands and playing the "jumping machine" is obviously a bit too exciting.

However, Kamiyagawa has played similar extreme sports with Sister Ohara in the Hearse Group many times.

Psychologically I can bear it.

After landing, he was not injured.

so close!

Fortunately, I saved a hand.

In a physical sense.

"Ah-hum-"

After one round of Ah Hum breath.

With two "clang" sounds, the sword buzzed.

Kamiyakawa raised his head and pulled out the Onikiri and Dojiri at the same time, with a fierce light shining in his shrunken pupils.

I have to ask for an explanation from that ugly thing lying on the cliff!

Click - click!

The red scissor blades, which were still high up on the cliff, opened and closed again and again with a hint of probing.

Its palm body, which was made of pale flesh and blood, was slightly raised. In the palm of the hand that grasped the huge body of the scissors, a single eye suddenly opened.

The red eyeballs swirled erratically in their sockets. Finally, they glanced down and landed on the Kamiya River below the deep valley.

Then, the countless swollen fingers under its body swung, and as if walking on flat ground, it raised its giant scissors and rushed toward the valley below!

Reluctant to give up, this thing obviously has no intention of letting Kamiya go.

"Its breath is exactly the same as the breath of this space. No wonder I noticed it when I was so close." Kamiya held two famous demon-slaying swords and bent down slightly, getting into a fighting posture, ready to go like a taut bowstring. Condensed pupils lock onto the enemy.

Snap, snap, snap!

The violent Aragami monster rushed down quickly, its countless fingers clasped against the rock wall, and it actually made the sound of dense footsteps.

From a distance, this thing looks like a shadowy reptile, but when you get closer, it looks like a roaring chariot.

The smelly wind poured down from above, blowing Kamiya's clothes and hair. At this moment, he had almost judged the enemy's level:

"This thing is actually an Aragami?"

Perhaps not as strong as the Aragami under Kamiyagawa.

But he is indeed an Aragami.

At this point, I can no longer think anymore, the enemy has already rushed in front of me.

Bang!

Onikiri quickly lifted up, cutting out a sharp semicircle, and then violently collided with the red scissors strangled from above. The sound of fighting was fierce and short, and the strong energy turbulence erupted disturbed the fog at the bottom of the valley.

Kamiyagawa once again fell into an encounter that broke out unclearly...

…

The entrance to Tsuchimikado Village.

After communicating with Kamiyagawa in the Shimen Cave, Onizuka Kiri Hotaru returned here again.

In order to find other Amado bronze mirror fragments, she will start a second exploration.

At the entrance, the little witch felt something.

She held the black-and-white photos and manuscripts she received from Sakai Yuri a little tighter, and the information obtained from the psychic appeared in her mind again——

It's a sunny day and the wind is gentle.

Tsuchimikado Village is surrounded by forests, dotted with scattered old-fashioned wooden buildings, and shrouded in warm sunlight, immersed in a peaceful and quiet atmosphere.

You can see villagers dressed up, young and old, active in the streets of the village, enjoying themselves.

It's like a paradise here.

Two male figures appeared next to the stone monument at the entrance of the village.

The older man is calm and gentle, while the young man is delicate and has some of the high-spiritedness that a young man should have.

The little-known folklorist at that time, Toshiya Sakai, and his student Shizuji Kanemaru.

"The road into the mountains is really difficult. I really don't understand why the onmyojis of the Tsuchimikado family live in such a place." Kanemaru Shizuji looked at the situation in the village and complained softly.

"As a descendant of the Great Onmyoji Abe Seimei, the Tsuchimikado family will always have some persistence that is different from ordinary people." Sakai Eri also adjusted his glasses, and then showed a little excitement of a scholar seeking knowledge, " Jingji, we have the opportunity to visit here this time and we will get a lot of precious folklore information. Respect the customs here and don’t offend anyone in the village."

"I know, Mr. Sakai." Kanemaru Shizuji nodded.

At the same time, the Meiji Restoration had begun, and Western thoughts entered Japan.

At this special time, young people like Kanemaru Shizuji began to accept Western ideas. On the one hand, he respects his teacher and has a deep interest in folklore research. But on the other hand, Shintoism does not occupy an absolutely sacred and inviolable position in his heart.

In fact, in about a year, the Japanese government will carry out major reforms to Shintoism.

Onmyodo will be completely abolished in the name of "Yin Yang Cult", and Onmyojis will also disappear and disappear for a long time.

If Kanemaru Shizuji could live until that time, relying on the folklore knowledge accumulated by following Sakai Eriya, he would definitely actively participate in that massive religious reform.

"Shizuji, let's go and visit Mr. Tsuchimikado Yasifuku."

"Okay, teacher."

The teacher and student began to walk towards Tsuchimikado Village.

…

Onizuka's psychic vision at the entrance to the village ended here.

"The person channeling this time is Toshiya Sakai."

The little witch began to sort out the information.

It can be confirmed from the brief channeling scene just now that when Sakai Eriya and Kanemaru Shizuji entered the Tsuchimikado Village, the place still seemed to be in a normal state.

"There are many dead souls of villagers in the village. It is speculated that they died in pain at a similar time. Therefore, some huge disaster must have occurred in Tsuchimikado Village and many people died. Maybe after the disaster, this area It disappeared from reality and became what it is now. It requires some special ways to have a chance to enter. Like Yuri Sakai and Taito Toshima thirty years ago, and Agawa and I now."

"And Sakai Etoshi entered the village before the disaster. Through his experience, I may be able to know what happened here, and I hope to find clues to other Amado bronze mirror fragments."

Because there was an important breakthrough in the investigation, Onizuka became slightly more excited.

Collecting the fragments of events in such detail and piecing together the complete truth gives me the feeling of being a super detective.

Applying spiritual power to the black and white photo in his hand again, traces of psychic energy belonging to Toshiya Sakai appeared in front of him.

The blurry white figure was moving towards the center of the dilapidated village.

Onizuka twisted the talisman and came out, then quickly followed. Along the way, we encountered several undead souls from Tsuchimikado villagers, but their strength was still not impressive enough. With the little miko's ability to remove spirits, of course, they were all able to get rid of them without any danger.

After marching like this for a while, another larger house appeared in front of them.

The surname on the sign at the door is "Hehe".

According to previous information collection, the Kawai family, like the Tachibana family I had seen before, was a family in Tsuchimikado Village, a branch of the Tsuchimikado family, and had a blood connection with the clan leader.

"It's not Tsuchimikado Residence. However, Sakai E Toshiya's psychic traces have entered here. He should have had some very profound experiences here during his lifetime."

Onizuka waited and watched at the door for a while, then pushed open the rotten half-open door and entered Kawai's home with ease.

Continuing to follow the psychic traces of Toshiya Sakai, the little miko walked through the messy and dark courtyard and explored a room on the west side of Kawai's house.

"This looks like a study."

The fairly large room was filled with collapsed bookshelves and old books scattered on the floor.

The little witch picked up a book and flipped through it. The text could still be barely read on the damp pages.

It is an ancient book that records the Yin and Yang Tao.

There are actually many such ancient books in Juqiong Shrine.

There are too many books here, and it will take a lot of time to find useful clues in these books.

"Achuan is still waiting for me."

The little witch was slightly troubled.

She held the black-and-white photos and Toshiya Sakai's manuscript in her hands a little tighter, and now she felt something again.

"there……"

Following the guidance of his perception, Onizuka found several crumpled manuscript papers in the corner of the study room, under a collapsed bookshelf.

Spreading out the paper, inside was Sakai Toshiya's handwriting——

[It has been a few days since I came to Tsuchimikado Village. Both the big families here and the ordinary villagers are very friendly to Shizuji and me. The people here seem to be simple and hospitable. ]

[In the village, except for a few members of the Tsuchimikado family, other villagers basically do not interact with the outside world. Their lifestyle seems to be stuck in the past. This place is of great research value. ]

[The legend of "Amado Rock" seems to have been circulating in Tsuchimikado Village, but it seems different from the story I am familiar with. When people talk about it, their words and expressions are a mixture of awe and disgust. In the village, there has been a kind of sacrifice related to "Amado Rock" since ancient times, which seems to be to commemorate the life of Tian Tian. But the content of the sacrifice cannot be discussed, and it is not allowed for us outsiders to watch. Everyone keeps it secret. ]

[My fellow student Jingji is not used to this place. He told me in the morning that he felt there was something wrong with the isolated village treating outsiders so kindly. Jingji's idea is not unreasonable. Intuitively speaking, there is indeed something weird here. ](End of this chapter)
