I’m a Witch In Dongying

In that case, it might be more appropriate to describe it as ‘the inner world’. "

"The present world is the surface, and the yellow spring is the inside. The two are separated by the'gate of the yellow spring', which divides the yin and yang.

This invisible gate of the Yellow Spring not only blocked human beings’ attempts to discover the truth about life and death, but it also protected mankind on another level.

If this door is pushed open by someone with ulterior motives, then everything behind it will reappear in the human world overnight, bringing an unprecedented impact on the order of the human world. "

"..."

There was a long silence.

In the study, there were only two steady breathing sounds.

Asakura Rie's remarks are quite informative.

Even for Bai Shuiqiu, who knows a lot about spiritual aspects, it has subverted her original worldview a bit.

Bai Shuiqiu's eyes drooped slightly, and after a few minutes of silence, he considered his words and slowly said: "However, I also heard about Tomi Gate Shouichi...that is, a'friend' I met at the banquet a few days ago. Hearing that he mentioned that Prince Akine had the special physique that opened the gate of Huangquan. What does that mean?

Could it be that His Royal Highness Akui possesses the ability to open Huangquan Biliangsaka, and the ghosts of Dajiangshan want to enter the country of Huangquan through her, in order to achieve subversion of the world?

Can……

Sister Rie, didn't you just say that those seniors didn't explore Hirasaka's secret? "

"It's not that I didn't find out, but because the information left is small, messy, and vague, so it's hard to tell exactly what the truth looks like.

From the point of view of the situation after removing the cocoon of these materials, removing the false and keeping the truth.

Hirazaka in Shimane Prefecture is more like a one-way street that has long since been blocked.

The one-way street means that there is only the possibility to go in, and once you step in, there is no turning back. Because the prohibition there was probably placed by the father God Izanaki himself, and the purpose was probably to prevent things from escaping from the Yellow Springs, which would result in the charcoal of human society.

The supporting evidence for this speculation is that in the past thousands of years, there have indeed been a few incidents of Shenyin near Qianyinshi, and after those people disappeared, they never appeared in the human world.

Of course……

It is also possible that they were discovered and killed by nearby monsters, but those people are very powerful practitioners. Even if they encounter monsters, they are unlikely to disappear silently.

Or maybe someone once came back from the world over there, and then remained anonymous, and never revealed his identity to anyone until his death.

Or, some mysterious power erased their spiritual power and memory, making them completely forget their original identity, and they can only be like ordinary mountain people in an unknown small mountain village. Spent the rest of my life in a muddle-headed manner...

In short, they are speculations that cannot be falsified.

But there is only one inference that is proven...

That is the channel leading to the country of the Yellow Springs, not only Hiragaka, but also some humans who have the ability to open this channel.

Moreover, this door to the Yellow Spring has indeed been opened by someone, more than once. "

Asakura Rie paused for a while, seeming to give Shirakawa some time to think, and then went on to say:

"Let's not mention the ancient period with a blank history.

Such records have appeared in the early records of Shintoism.

It is said that among human beings, there is an extremely small probability that a special spiritual media quality will appear. People with this physique will be able to see and open the ‘door’ to Huangquan.

In the Yayoi era, when the concept of the country had not yet formed, some people used this power to introduce the evil spirits of the Yellow Spring into the world, and slaughtered all the villages and tribes that were hostile to them, thus plundering large tracts of territory and wealth.

But this kind of practice, which is only for self-interest, has been very effective in a short time, but it has brought extremely serious consequences to later generations.

Because these monsters themselves are not controllable, and there is not much reason to speak of, the desire for killing trumps everything,

Among them, it includes the [Killing Ghosts] who have killed nearly 10,000 people.

The killing ghost itself is also a member of the ghost tribe, so the ghosts of the ghost tribe have the deepest connection with the gate of Huangquan. The first batch of ghost tribes are likely to come to this world from the kingdom of Huangquan. .

This is also an important reason why the Jiutun Boys from Dajiangshan and his party are keen to open the door of Huangquan again.

After the initial adaptation stage, they began to unscrupulously vent their power and desires in the world, and involved generations of human beings in a **** whirlpool, even using human flesh and blood as bait. During that time, it can be said that the fate of mankind was the most miserable era.

Fortunately, generations of practitioners have stepped forward, allowing mankind to survive tenaciously in this troubled time and establish a country and political power.

Among them, the strongest spiritual power is the Emmatai Queen Himihu, and there is also a maiden named Cuizi.

During this period, there have also been many legends of monsters in China, such as the Three Demons of Xuanyuan Tomb, which was beheaded by Jiang Ziya three thousand years ago. Among them, the nine-tailed fox demon who escaped by chance, later arrived here, under a pseudonym. Before Yuzao. However, compared to the things that escaped from Huangquan, a monster like Tamazouqian who can communicate in human language is already quite kind...

This situation of demons rampant continued until the Heian period.

Until Qing Ming Gong appeared.

According to legend, because he has half of the white fox blood, Abe is born with the ability to freely shuttle between Yin and Yang, so he can practice the Yin and Yang technique to an unprecedented level when he is only twenty years old.

After gaining a glimpse of the truth of the land of the Yellow Springs, Haruaki Abe used his powerful spiritual power to close the gates of the Yellow Springs hanging over Kyoto. In the following decades, he traveled throughout Dongying and brought the surviving Yellow Springs to the world. The doors are stamped one by one.

Of course, because there are not many people with that special physique, there are actually only a few doors of the Yellow Springs that have been opened.

Coupled with the birth of a large number of geniuses such as Yuan Laiguang, and the hundred-year battle with those monsters and sprites, it completely ended the era of Hyakki Yakou. "

"Over the sky?"

and……

"How did the ghost race know that Akui has such a physique?"

——Others may not know the details of the gate of Huangquan, but the royal family in charge of the highest authority of Shintoism must be able to access these records. It stands to reason that since these lessons have been learned, this kind of thing should not be promoted everywhere. That's right.

When asked these two sentences, Bai Shuiqiu's speech speed gradually accelerated, and his spirit became highly concentrated.

The rustle of footsteps continued to ring.

Asakura Rie seemed to consider the words and sentences before slowly responding:

"The Gate of Huangquan is just a concept similar to'door', but it is not the kind of door we see in daily life. It has no fixed position. It can exist in any form or attached to any medium. Above. Such as mirrors, lakes, or even nothing in the void.

If understood with modern scientific thinking, the country of Huangquan is probably not an independent world, but a special space in a superposition state with the present world in which humans live.

In the eyes of most people, it is impossible to see its existence, and only when encountering a person with that physique, this superposition will collapse into an existence called the "Yellow Spring Gate", and it can be opened by the former . "

"..."

The corner of Bai Shuiqiu's mouth twitched slightly.

She also went to college in her previous life. She is not unfamiliar with the term "superposition state" and "collapsed state". Using it to explain the existence of "Huangquan" seems to make sense.

but……

Dare to love this is the so-called "undecided, quantum mechanics"?

However, when he heard Asakura Rie's words, Bai Shuiqiu unconsciously recalled a picture.

——The scene that once appeared in the depths of her sea of ​​consciousness and was sealed by the Rain Girl.

Even at the post-sacrifice a few days ago, Bai Shuiqiu once saw that picture, the empty city in the picture, and the countless ghosts hidden in the dark night where he can't see his fingers... It made her shudder. If it hadn't been for a mysterious voice to wake her up in time, it would be hard to guess what would happen next.

Could it be...

That memory is related to the so-called "Yellow Spring Gate"?

Mime private 563

This thought flashed through Bai Shuiqiu's heart.

But there was no expression on his face, and he just glanced at the other side of the bookshelf from the corner of the book, secretly contemplating the thoughts of Asakura Rie.

She was a little uncertain, the girl told her intentions of the information.

Especially in the few sentences just now, "Perhaps someone has been to the country of Huangquan, but was erased by some mysterious force." Although Rie Asakura's tone cannot hear any emotional fluctuations, the speaker Unintentional, the listener intentionally, at least Bai Shuiqiu's heart is not very peaceful.

after all……

Asakura Rie is proficient in the arithmetic of divination.

This girl could even figure out that the man behind the Mantis Mountain incident was the remnant of Dajiangshan's ghost tribe with just a chessboard without any reliance. Then use a similar method to speculate on the experience she encountered in her childhood... theoretically, it is not completely impossible.

And if this is the case, then these few conversations just now don't have any deep meaning.

Bai Shuiqiu's thoughts are still floating here.

the other side.

Asakura Rie has already responded to her second question:

"As for His Royal Highness Akui, there are rumors that she heard the voice of Amaterasu when she was a child, so she was selected as his successor when the predecessor of Ise Jingu, Saiwang, retired.

Although this news was only circulated in the imperial house and a few spiritual families at that time, it was not publicized in the spiritual world, but the ancestor of the Hojo family was serving as the royal onmyoji at that time. It is very unlikely that the Yin-Yang Dao clans of the Mao family would be unaware of this.

Therefore, it is likely that this incident was revealed when they conspired with the ghost clan.

Furthermore……

The relationship between the ghost tribe and the gate of the Yellow Springs is far deeper than ordinary people think, and maybe a monster like Jiu Tun Boy, there may be any special way to distinguish that physique. "

After a pause, Asakura Rie said again:

"In fact, when Haruaki Abe discovered the truth about the'Yellow Spring Gate' by himself, there was speculation that the'Yellow Spring Gate' hanging over Kyoto might be related to His Royal Highness Akui.

For example, the ghost tribe found the reincarnation or substitute of His Royal Highness Akui through some means, and then took her flesh and blood as a sacrifice. Decades after Akui died, he successfully opened the door...

But this conjecture is impossible.

Because the circumstances at the time of Her Highness Akui's death were quite special, according to common sense, she should not have the possibility of reincarnation at all...In addition, His Highness died as King Zhai and had no experience of marriage, even less. There may be heirs that have survived.

In addition, during the investigation by Ching Ming Gong, it was discovered that the opening of the gate of the yellow spring was closely related to the famous evil sect Onmyoji Ashiya Dao at the time.

This one was also a well-known onmyoji from the Heian period. Although he was a cultist, he possessed a superb magical attainments. He is one of the few people in the entire history of Toyo that can be compared with Abe Haruaki. The reason why Ashiya Michiman did this is no longer known. Maybe it has something to do with the ghost clan, or maybe just to prove his strength and ambition...

To this day, the truth has long been submerged in the long river of history, and I am afraid that only the person involved knows what is going on. "

"party……"

It is related to this incident, and has survived smoothly to the present...

I'm afraid that there are only Washmine Shion and Ibaraki Doko, right?

In retrospect, when Jiufeng Shion mentioned Abe Haruaki's deeds before, he did not mention anything about the "Yellow Spring Gate".

With the knowledge and experience of this old monster, there is little possibility of not knowing it. I’m afraid I just don’t want her and Keiko to know. On the contrary, I can live happier...

Bai Shuiqiu took a deep breath, temporarily suppressed the mixed thoughts, and asked in a soft tone as smoothly as possible: "Then, do these things have anything to do with our Tenmoku Shrine?"

There was a short silence.

Asakura Rie seemed to hesitate for a while, then reopened his mouth after a while:

"...According to the letter sent by Sena-san that year, and the Asakura family in Tokyo sent people to Lantern Mountain near Narita City several times. There may be an unknown space.

And the black mud that has never appeared in the ancient records of the Kanto region is likely to be a monster that escaped from that space.

Sena Sana might also have this suspicion, so he deliberately mentioned the word "Yellow Spring Country" in the letter. It was just that before the Asakura family arrived, Sena Sana had only been on the mountain and died there. In the Blackpool, so we have no way of knowing what she found and what she encountered on Lantern Mountain.

And according to the results of investigations on that mountain by several seniors in the clan at that time, it should be the incident that year that caused a large amount of yin in the black pool to overflow, covering the entire Lantern Mountain, forming There was an extremely huge'yin realm'.

Ordinary ‘yin domain’, whether it is formed naturally or artificially created by wicked monks, is difficult to form on such a scale, and can even cover a whole mountain. To be able to achieve this scale of feat, except for the legendary "Yellow Spring Country", he hardly does what he wants.

However, the Bailianzong and the Jiuju faction have been operating at the foot of Lantern Mountain for many years, and even regarded Hei Ni as a god, and they might have caught this secret long ago.

Therefore, no matter whether the black pool is the entrance to the "Yellow Spring Country" or not, in order to avoid greater disasters, their attempts must be stifled in the cradle.

This is also the reason why Tokyo's countermeasures team sent Mami. "

Bai Shuiqiu took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled it. After several repetitions, he calmed down his slightly faster heartbeat.

"I see……"

No, it should be said that it is so!

So it seems...

When Asakura Asami and Mr. Ito visited Tenme Shrine, they used the body of a puppet doll and saw that Chiyo was reading the letter, which should have been written by Shirami Sana to Tokyo Asakura.

Tokyo Asakura and Kyoto Asakura are originally in the same family. They exchanged information in private. Asami knows things, Rie will naturally not know.

"In other words..."

Bai Shuiqiu thought for a while, and looked up at the girl opposite: "Sister Mami's purpose in going to Chiba Prefecture is to seal the black mud, and second... to trace the whereabouts of the Bailianzong and the Jiuju faction, and kill them all in one go. , So as to avoid the possibility that the'Gate of Yellow Spring' in Lantern Mountain will be opened by others at the root?"

Asakura Rie nodded: "Yes, to be precise, these two purposes are actually the same. Both are to seal the gate of the Yellow Spring on Lantern Mountain."

"..."

silence.

Neither of them spoke again.
