This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

Mou Chi Yingzhong looked at Beichuan Temple with complex eyes, and Beichuan Temple looked back without retreating at all.

After a while, her voice sounded:

"Master Goshen's thoughts...I really didn't expect it."

Mou Chi Yingzhong looked at Beichuan Temple: "At least no one in Mou Chi's family has thought this way..."

She put her hands on her chest and said softly:

"I seem to understand the purpose of the ritual of sacrifice and marriage. Maybe what you said is right..."

Boom! ! ! !

Kind thoughts gush out like a tide! The kindness in the cave exploded instantly!

At the same time, Mouchi Yingzuka’s voice had already made up its mind:

"And this is the most important reason why I live here in vain!"

Good thoughts gathered together, and the wind pressure shook the surrounding ropes wildly.

Mou Chi Yingzhong's eyes were already covered with light golden light.

"After I accepted the ritual of giving birth to a new daughter, I used special techniques to separate the spirit body from the physical body. At the same time, the physical body was sealed and nourished with good thoughts - until now."

This is also an important reason why Mou Chi Yingzuka could not directly help Beichuan Temple.

Because of the existence of the seal, she could not leave this place and could only remind Beichuan Temple through her wandering good thoughts.

And now...

"It's time to break the seal."

Mou Chi Yingzhong clasped his hands together, then the shape of his hands changed, and the kind thoughts in the air also trembled violently!

The daughter who communicates with the present world and is nourished by various spiritual tools... Her strength must be almost the same as the human pillar of the coffin.

The kind thoughts raised to the top will shake the ropes nailed to the surrounding rock walls and fall down!

The intense light of good thoughts illuminated the entire cave!

Then--

The next moment, all the violently trembling good thoughts calmed down.

All the dazzling light was withdrawn.

From the depths of the cave, a woman wearing a black carved kimono slowly walked out.

Her appearance is almost the same as Mirai Kamiya's, but her temperament is much more mature than Mirai Kamiya's. Her eyes sparkled with agility, and her satin-like hair fell down smoothly.

Is this the daughter of the newborn baby...?

Beichuan Temple subconsciously used his death energy.

Under the vision of death, he could see the kind thoughts that surged out from time to time.

Completely opposite to the coffin pillar.

If the human pillar of the coffin is the incarnation of disaster, then the daughter of the pregnant woman is the condensed existence of good thoughts.

It is no wonder that the Mou Chi family left a statement in the document that only the daughter of the child can check and balance the coffin pillar.

"I will assist Mikami-sama because my family has saved my life... and it is precisely because of this."

When Mou Chi Yingzhong said this, he paused softly.

"And...I don't want to see my brother continue to suffer from misfortune."

After the human pillar of the coffin is sealed in the coffin, it will be eroded and washed away by Fujin every moment, which is extremely painful for the spirit body.

After a long period of time, its spiritual body will naturally be eroded by Fujin.

"Really?" Looking at Mou Chi Yingzuka, Beichuanji nodded and was about to say something——

Boom! ! ! !

The entire underground palace was shaking.

No...not just the underground palace, the entire ground is shaking.

Dust fell rustlingly.

"It seems it has already begun..."

Mou Chi Yingzhong's voice was low.

"Already started?"

Maki, the god, hugged Nishikujo pitifully in his arms, his eyes full of astonishment.

"That's right." Mou Chi Yingzhong raised his head as if aware of something: "Because I broke the seal and left, my brother who lost his balance will also break the seal."

"The Thousand Sakura Forest where he is can no longer suppress him. The coffin is about to collapse... the coffin human pillar——"

Her eyes narrowed.

"It's coming out!"

As if in response to Mou Chi Ying's Tomb, a sharp roar that seemed inhuman and inhuman passed through the enshrinement hall, penetrated the ground, and was directly transmitted to this place.

This rumbling roar and the endless resentment in it made Asamiya Eisei and the god Makie next to him unable to help but feel moved.

The Mou Chi family... what kind of monsters did they raise?

"Please don't panic. Although the coffin pillar has now broken the seal of the coffin, there are other back-up seals in the Forest of Thousand Sakuras. Although it won't be possible to re-seal him in the coffin, it can still be delayed for a while."

Mou Chi Yingzhong said: "The most important thing for us now is to go to Huangquan, remove the part of the troubled green stone that constitutes Zhu Zhi's seal in Zhu Saki's formation, and then replace it with the Royal Spirit Pendant. This can slow down Zhu Saki's It’s time for the formation to collapse.”

Her method is very good, at least Beichuan Temple agrees with it.

The most important thing now is to solve the problem of Zhu Saki's formation, rather than to have a head-on conflict with the coffin pillar.

If there is a way to avoid him temporarily, then we must do it.

only--

"Where is the place to go to Huangquan?" Beichuan Temple asked as he followed Mou Chiying's tomb.

Mouchi Yingzhong led the way and recalled as he stepped up the steps: "Starting from the enshrinement hall, take the ancient shrine on the right, and in about ten minutes you will arrive under the Ningyoyo Sacred Tree. Those Ningyoyo are used for sacrifices. The function of class... is to defend Mou Chi’s family.”

"Then pass through the Ningyo Daimikan tree and continue walking forward. When you get to that place... you can see a lake."

"And that is Daling Lake, which is directly connected to Huangquan."

Listening to Mouchi Yingzuka's explanation, Beichuan Temple thought of Kamiya's future dream.

In the early morning, the sky is slightly dark, and there are ancient shrines... human-shaped sacred trees... and further ahead, there is a quiet lake.

Gray miasma floats on the surface of the lake.

There is an ancient wooden path going straight forward.

and a huge torii gate.

"That torii is the torii that separates the real world from the hidden world."

Mouchi Yingzhong pushed open the door of the enshrinement hall and continued to explain while keeping moving:

"That's what we call the Torii Gate of the Sky. Whenever a sacrifice is needed, the head of the family will preside over it and sing the rituals."

The sound of low singing sounded.

"The torii of the sky communicates with the empty body."

"The blue fire will accompany you as you move forward."

"Beyond the vermilion chanting, beyond the sacred tree. Beyond the vermilion torii gate..."

"This is the place where souls are bound, this is the underworld..."

Mou Chi Yingzuka spoke bit by bit.

The function of this set of ecstasy words is mainly to increase people's attention and make the following ceremony more "ritualistic". The words themselves have no meaning.

"But... generations of Michi witches... have followed this low-pitched ecstasy and calmly stepped into the underworld to die."

Listening to Mou Chi Yingzhong's slightly sad voice, Beichuan Temple did not say anything.

Young shrine maidens wearing red and white shrine maiden uniforms walked step by step behind the torii gate, following the traditional Japanese style of shamisen, taiko drums and kagura bells.

What kind of fate awaits them behind that?

No one knows this.

As ‘pillars’, they will suppress the underworld and balance the world and the hidden world.

Only people like Asamiya Nagase and others who have made sacrifices know the feeling of this.

For a while, the atmosphere was a little dull.

But soon, the dull atmosphere was broken.

Mou Chiying's Tomb stood in front of an ancient path that continued to wind into the dense forest: "This is the ancient shrine. If you enter from here, you can go directly to where the sacred tree is."

Then she pointed behind Kitagawaji and Asamiya Eisei.

"In the opposite direction to this ancient road, there is a path of steps that continues upwards. There is the Forest of Thousand Sakuras, which is called the Forbidden Forest. Brother... No, the coffin pillar should have already begun to break through the Forest of Thousands of Sakura. It’s sealed.”

Beichuan Temple nodded, glanced sideways at the man behind him and said:

"Time is of the essence, let's talk about the rest on the way."

Beichuan Temple's reasonable proposal was naturally recognized by Mou Chi Yingzuka, and she took the lead.

Along the way, Beichuan Temple also asked Mou Chiyingzhong many questions.

These include how to enter Underworld, how to find Zhu Saki's Formation after entering Underworld, and how to leave Underworld after solving Zhu Saki's Formation.

"The gate of the underworld needs the blood of Kongjing of the Witch Mouchi to open. Only those with the blood of Kongjing can open the gate of the underworld."

Mou Chi Yingzuka took out three small and exquisite bamboo bottles from the bottom of his sleeves as he walked forward.

Each bamboo bottle is no more than the length and width of an adult's finger, and is mainly sealed with stone plugs.

"These are the blood of Kongjing. With these, you can open the gate to the underworld even without the bloodline of Miko Mouchi."

Mou Chi Yingzuka said and handed these three bamboo bottles to Beichuan Temple.

"As long as you pass through the Torii of Heaven, there is the underworld behind it. After entering the underworld, use a bottle of Kongjing's blood... The bloodline of the Mou Chi family and Zhu Saki's formation itself have a special induction. It can I will guide you to where Zhu Saki's formation is. As for the last bottle of Kongjing's blood...that is the way to leave Huangquan."

"But actually, it doesn't matter if you don't use the pure blood in this bamboo bottle. As the daughter of a child, I also have the ability to communicate with the Gate of Underworld. The reason why I keep them is just as a backup method."

Seeing Beichuanji put the blood of Kongjing into his backpack with an expressionless face, Mouchi Yingzuka took a look at the surrounding environment and then let out a breath.

"Please come this way. From here, you will find the Ningyo Daimiki."

"Does that mean you can reach the Sky Torii Gate just by walking a little further ahead?"

"Um."

Mouchi Yingzuka answered the question raised by the god Makie and continued walking inside.

There are no guardrails on both sides of this ancient shrine, it is just a bluestone path that continues forward.

Along the way, as Mou Chi Yingzuka said, basically no ghosts or monsters could be seen.

but--

Everyone paused.

"how so?"

This time even Mou Chiyingzhong didn't expect it.

Although the road in front of him still existed, it had been completely eroded by the foggy Fujin.

"How can it be?

Logically speaking, with the suppression of the Godly Tree and the Ningyo Dai, all the disasters here should return to the earth's veins, but the scene in front of him completely overturned Mou Chi Yingzuka's imagination.

Under such a strong obstacle, it is basically impossible to move forward.

"Is that the sacred tree you're talking about?"

Kitagawa Temple points to the right.

If you follow the direction of his finger, you will find a tree that has fallen to the ground.

Under it, there are all kinds of humanoid generations.

"It seems that Zhu Saki's formation fluctuated too violently this year, causing the calamity in the earth's veins to flow out and erode the sacred tree."

Mou Chiyingzhong frowned tightly.

The scarlet misfortune stood in front of him like a chasm.

"Can't we use the barrier of good thoughts to think of a way?" Asamiya Yongse thought for a moment and put forward his own idea.

"Can't take such a risk."

Mou Chi Yingzhong shook his head.

"As you can see now, the fujin here is mainly air flow, but if you continue to enter it, maybe the fujin will gradually become more terrifying, and then turn into a liquid, and then into a solid... Then It is simply not something that ordinary good thoughts can withstand."

But we can't go home like this...

While others were thinking, Kitagawa Temple, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke.

"There should be other ways besides this one, right?"

He did not believe that the Mou Chi family had not opened any other roads besides this ancient shrine.

"Uh... yes, yes, but -"

Mou Chi Yingzhong came to his senses for a moment, with a troubled expression on his face.

"Take us there."

Beichuanji didn't care about the other party's embarrassed expression and said straightforwardly.

"...The road leads through the Forbidden Forest."

Seeing that Beichuan Temple had to go to Beichuan Temple no matter what, Mou Chi Yingzuka sighed and said.

Yes.

That road needs to pass through the Forest of Thousand Sakuras, where her brother lives.

"As I said before, the coffin pillar is trying to break through the seal. If we enter the Forest of Thousand Sakuras, we will definitely be entangled by the opponent."

This was also the reason why Mou Chi Yingzuka hesitated.

Although she is not afraid of coffin pillars, it is not a good thing to be entangled by them.

"Besides this method, do you have any other methods?" Beichuan Temple asked.

"This... is gone."

The two secret roads of the Mou Chi family, the former is the ancient shrine of the Goddess Tree, and the latter is the ancient shrine in the Forest of Thousand Sakuras.

As for other ways?

Even the ancient shrine protected by the sacred tree has been eroded by Fujin and cannot be passed through. The situation on other roads must be similar to that here.

"Then take us there." Beichuan Temple looked at Mou Chiying's Tomb: "There is no point in continuing to wait. Instead of waiting for the coffin to break out of the seal... it is better for us to take the initiative."

"Because the moment the opponent breaks out of the seal, even the last shrine to the Amanori Torii may be contaminated by Fujin. By then, there will really be nothing we can do."

"..." Mou Chi Yingzhong.

silence.

A long silence.

"Even if I don't take Mikami-sama there, you should still try it yourself, right?"

"Um."

Beichuanji nodded.

"This is really..." Mou Chi Yingzhong seemed a little helpless.

But everything was just as Beichuan Temple said. When the coffin pillar broke out of the seal, the final result was still the same.

There is even a possibility that the poison on the coffin pillar will contaminate another ancient shrine.

Rather than waiting for a crisis to strike, it is better to take the initiative to meet the crisis.

This is also a way to deal with it.
