I loaded the ghost talk game

The ruins of Matsuyama Castle in Iyo.

The incident caused by the killing pillar ended almost a week ago, which was not too long, but the changes in the ruins of Songshan City were very big.

First, the Living Fish Hotel absorbed all the energy of the Demon King's Mallet that remained here. As a result, the vague outlines of the buildings in the ruins disappeared, and the place turned into a bare wasteland.

Then about three days ago, something new happened here at the ruins——

With the suspended bright moon as the center, a bamboo forest grows here.

The growth rate of bamboo is very fast, and the bamboo forest in the Iyo ruins is even faster than normal.

In just three days, the bamboo here grew so densely that the branches and leaves intertwined like a canopy, blocking the sky.

Moreover, these bamboos are also very special in appearance.

The whole body is dark green, with the texture of jade, and it will make a crisp jade sound when struck. It looks more like a carefully carved jade sculpture than a naturally growing plant.

Under the reflection of the giant moon hanging on the skyline, the entire bamboo forest is crystal clear, reflecting the emerald green dark light. And they are still growing at an extremely fast speed, intertwining with each other and extending towards the sky.

"How's it going? Can you feel anything?"

Walking into the deep hinterland of the bamboo forest and coming to the front of the bright moon, Kamiyagawa asked the eight hundred and eight raccoons like this.

"Master Kamiya...that huge moon in the sky should be the Moon Palace."

After staying in Iyo for a while, the old tanuki's breathing became heavier and heavier.

Although Kamiya didn't have any special feelings about this, the air soaked in pale moonlight seemed to be covered with thick mist to Yabaichi.

Also, there are two places on the round belly of the eight hundred and eight raccoon dogs with lighter fur. These two hairs are roughly in the shape of "magatama", which seems to be a symbol of the Matsuyama Tanuki tribe's worship of the Moon Palace, similar to a totem.

After entering the bamboo forest, the totem pattern on its abdomen began to glow slightly.

Babaiqi could feel that this was the call from the Moon Palace.

When he was plotting against the Killing Pillar before, he had no time to think too much because he was attacked by the Killing Stone.

But now returning to Iyo, Yabaibari can confirm——

The huge moon in the sky must be the moon palace worshiped by the Songshan raccoon tribe.

"The Moon Palace you are talking about refers to the divine residence of Tsukiyomi, right?"

"That's right."

Eight Hundred and Eight Rhinoceros gave an affirmative answer.

That seems about right.

The huge moon in the sky is the divine residence of Tsukiyomi, where the "Night Food Plain" is located.

Before, Shashengzhu probably mainly wanted to use Yuegong's belief to be promoted to the Sky Fox God.

The Great Bright Moon was activated by him, and the "Night Food Plain" was inspired, appeared in Iyo, and poured out the power of the moonlight.

This power is harnessed by the Killing Pillar combined with the Killing Stone.

But now, the fox failed to become a god and died, but the food of the night still remains in Iyo's sky.

I don’t know if his ritual would have caused such consequences in the first place; or if Kamiyagawa interrupted the process of his ritual, which caused such a thing to happen.

Kamiya thought for a moment and then asked: "What about the bamboo forest that suddenly appeared here?"

"Lord Kamiya, these seem to be... ten thousand year bamboos. A long time ago, there was a legend among the foxes in Songshan that the ten thousand year bamboos would grow towards the Moon Palace until a path leading to the Moon Palace was formed. The bridge will bring the believers of the Moon Palace to the abode of the gods."

The eight hundred and eighty raccoon dog replied, his tone not entirely convinced.

After all, the matter about the "Ten Thousand Years Bamboo" is just a belief legend within the raccoon fox tribe.

Eight hundred and eighty raccoon dogs have never been seen before.

Even the Moon Palace appearing in the sky was the first time it saw it.

I have no idea how the Sesshō Hashira made Tsukimiya appear in Iyo's place.

It's a bit embarrassing to say that, although the Eight Hundred and Eight Rhinoceros has long regarded itself as the true leader of the "Moon Palace Faith". But as far as the current actual situation is concerned, the foreign fox of the Killing Pillar is far better at using the sacred object, the Great Bright Moon.

"You said Wannian Bamboo..."

Kamiya had heard of a monster called "Wannian Bamboo".

It is said that this kind of monster will make people who come to the bamboo forest get lost.

When someone stays in the bamboo forest controlled by Wannian Bamboo, this monster will use the bamboo branches to perform spells and absorb the person's essence.

But this doesn't seem to be the same thing as what Babaibali said.

Also, there is a saying in Japan: "When an earthquake strikes, flee to the bamboo forest."

Folks say that the underground stems of bamboo are very strong. If you encounter an earthquake, you will be safe if you hide in the bamboo forest.

As for the thousand-year-old bamboo forest in front of us, it is certain that the underground rhizomes are strong, otherwise it would not be able to support the Polygonatum japonicus piercing the sky.

In short, the current situation here in Iyo is——

Although the night food in the sky is clearly visible visually, it feels very oppressive.

But its true location seems elusive.

Kamiya had previously brought Karasu Tengu as close to the huge moon in the sky as possible.

But no matter how high the god Tengu flies, he can't really reach the moon palace that seems to be within reach.

And this jade-carved ten thousand-year-old bamboo forest that has grown like crazy on the ground is very special.

The crystal-clear and smooth dark green bamboos grow toward the sky and intersect with each other. The feeling given to Kamiya River is the same as the legend told by Yabaiba Raccoon. As long as time is given, these bamboos should be able to connect a road connecting Iyo and Yin Noshugahara.

Considering that the two sacred residences of Takamagahara and Umi no Kuni have "hidden" characteristics, they cannot be reached by ordinary methods.

It wouldn't be too strange if there really is a specific path for Yin Noshugahara, who is also a god.

As for the situation on Iyo's side, Yabairi could not give any more information.

What exactly will happen next may not be known until the Ten Thousand Years Bamboo Forest is truly connected to the Night Food Plain.

In addition, the old tanuki doesn't seem to be very excited about the possibility that Yuegong will be connected to Iyo.

After all, if the light of the Moon Palace hangs over Iyo, it will cause these moon-worshiping foxes to go crazy, causing them to have a home and be unable to return.

If the Food of the Night really comes, there might be another trouble.

Xing Buli, who had long since lost his energy, just wanted to be safe and sound in the future.

Everything that needs to be confirmed has been confirmed. Kamiyagawa ordered the little old man's body to keep an eye on the situation in Iyo, and then returned with the eight hundred and eight raccoon dogs.

When he walked out of the Ten Thousand Years Bamboo Forest, Kamiya narrowed his eyes and looked back.

The pale moonlight passed through the gaps in the bamboo leaves like filaments, falling to the ground to form a sea of ​​silver light, and reflected the jade-carved bamboo forest high up into a flowing green shadow.

"The moon...the bamboo forest...Kaguya?"

Such a scene made Kamiya, who had quite complete knowledge of mythology, naturally think of the legend of Princess Kaguya.

It is said that Kaguya was originally a goddess on the moon. She was exiled to the mortal world for unknown crimes and was born in a bamboo forest.

Then he was discovered by a kind-hearted bamboo cutter and took him home to raise him.

After experiencing a series of things in the human world, Kaguya was finally forcefully led by the divine messengers who descended from the moon and returned to the divine residence.

"If you can enter the Night Food Plain, will you see Princess Kaguya there? I don't know what the third divine residence is like now..."

Kamiya has no way of knowing the answer to this question yet.

We can only wait until the Ten Thousand Years Bamboo Forest is really connected to the Moon Palace, and then we will see the situation.

…

As the Ten Thousand Years Bamboo grows, the Moon Palace will be connected to Iyo.

By then, Kamiyagawa is likely to explore the last Mikiko shrine, "Yonoshihara".

Before this incident actually happened, all Kamiya did was to keep an eye on Iyo's situation, and then continue to do what he had been doing all along——

Continuously enhance the strength of itself and the Kamiya Group.

He had previously defeated the Dark Silt God Jia Mei, and thanks to the assistance of the East Crosser, he obtained the divine bones that cursed the Dragon God.

The curse authority carried by the Anyu Jiamei skeleton is also a top-notch existence among gods.

Kamiyakawa planned to use such a good thing on Hannya.

In addition, when the Dragon God's skeleton appeared among the flesh and blood of Qingliu, a large amount of golden flesh and blood belonging to the Dragon God poured into the real battlefield.

None of the Dragon God's flesh and blood was wasted, and in the end it all ended up in the Inugami's belly.

But now, Anyu Jiamei's supplies have finally been digested by the dog.

The eternal flower bell school.

"dog God."

Following Kamiya's order, the temperature of the originally cold school suddenly rose, invisible heat waves rolled, burning the air, and evaporating misty white smoke.

In the swirling smoke, a pair of bright red eyes swayed out.

Inugami appears in response to his master's call.

The outline of the black giant beast gradually became clear in the smoke. It was huge, ferocious, and majestic.

When facing the Inugami who revealed his true form, Kamiyagawa was not even as tall as its head, but the dog was still as docile as a real domestic dog.

"Woo——"

It knelt down and barked softly, while gently nudging its owner with the tip of its soft nose.

Kamiya also took the opportunity to touch the bridge of the dog's nose, and gently patted its chin and cheek twice.

But as soon as I started using it, I felt something was wrong.

Maybe it was because he hadn't touched a dog for a while. Although the difference in feel wasn't too big, Kamiyagawa could feel it.

He took half a step back and looked at the dog carefully.

The long black hair was stirred and fluttered by the heat wave, and blazing sparks leaped out of it. It's no different from before, he's still handsome, but it just seems like...

A little smoother than before?

This change is relatively subtle, so it's not like it's caused by digesting Dragon God's flesh and blood. It's probably just some hair care.

After making this judgment, Kamiya quickly understood what was going on.

By the way, Gouzi and Shuanglang have been getting closer and closer recently.

The white fur of that little female wolf is very soft...

So probably it helped the dog take care of it.

It seems that when Inugami and Shulang stay together, they are not just doing combat training.

"Good."

Kamiya smiled lovingly and patted Inugami's chin again happily.

However, the latter was a little confused about this and just tilted his head in confusion.

Kamiyagawa did not explain anything further and returned to the topic: "Gouzi, are you ready?"

Inugami heard this and swung his tail excitedly and nodded.

So, Kamiya took out a piece of winding spine from the [Mirage Bag]. On the pale bones, one could feel the distinct aura of a dragon and a snake.

This is the bone belonging to Ibuki Daimyojin.

It was Shutendouji who obtained it from his fathers, but it was now used by Kamiya as a trophy from the great country.

Thinking about it this way, Kamiya River took away a lot of things from Oeyama.

In addition to Ibuki's skeleton, Kamiya also used one of Ibaraki Douji's arms very smoothly.

Even under the long-term essential oil training of the foot-selling old woman, that ghost hand has completely taken on the shape of Kamiya.

Well, how should I put it...

Takama-ga-hara will remember Oeyama's dedication!

Nowadays, the ghost tribe has become a reliable backbone of the Takama-ga-hara forces, and they are also their own people.

Reasonable use of the resources of the ghost tribe belongs to internal resource optimization.

Of course, Kamiya River will not only take from them.

When the power of the gods of the forces becomes stronger, you can consider allocating some resources to Kinkuma, Hoshiguma, even Ibaraki, and Shuten who is still in the form of a snake.

If Takama-ga-hara can be revived in the future, there will definitely be a place for the ghost tribe in the God's Residence.

Oeyama actively or passively sold a lot of blood for Kamiya's development, and they have to make up for it slowly later.

As for the current Ibuki divine bones, of course, they are used by Inugami first.

The dog god has devoured the power of several dragon and snake gods, especially after he completely devoured Anyu Kami, the skeleton of the snake god Ibuki must be suitable for it.

After plundering Anyu Kami's power and faith, the dog is now in a prosperous state, and the state is the same as Kamiya had planned before. Now is the right time for promotion.

According to the information learned before, Ibuki Daimyojin is a descendant of Yamata no Orochi.

In Japan, Yamata no Orochi is a well-known god of disaster and evil.

Before he was killed by Susanoo, he was feeding on gods.

At the beginning, Susanoo was exiled from Takamagahara and came to the lower world to meet Kiinadahime, who was Susanoo's later wife.

At that time, Kiinadahime had a total of seven sisters, and except for Kiinadahime, all the other sisters had been eaten by Yamata no Orochi.

And Kiinadahime's family is not ordinary people, they are all Kunitsu gods walking in the lower world.

Originally, Princess Kiinada would also be offered as a sacrifice to the Yamata no Orochi. Susanoo was determined to defeat the Orochi in order to save his future wife.

Let's look at the Inugami again. Although he started from a very low point.

At first, it was just a canine spirit whose strength was not worth mentioning. It was only after Kamiya used the [Inugami Skull] that it completed its evolution and became a "Inugami" in the true sense.

But it has followed Kamiya all the way to today. Relying on its innate characteristics, it can eat not only Kunitsu God, but also Tenjin God.

The flesh and blood it eats should be no less than that of the Yamata no Orochi.

Absorbing the skeleton of the offspring of the Orochi is not considered to be a high-end.
