Truth is everywhere within range

and country.

Awaji Island.

This is the largest island in the Seto Inland Sea of ​​Japan.

In the creation myth of Japan, after Izanagi and Izanami, who were both brother and sister, were married, the first island they gave birth to was Awaji Island.

From a geographical point of view, Awaji Island was originally connected to Shikoku Island and was an island. However, due to geological changes, the surrounding land sank and it became an independent island.

Speaking of Awaji Island, the most famous one is probably the daffodils here.

After all, in an ancient game, the terminally ill heroine drove hundreds of kilometers to get a glimpse of the daffodils on Awaji Island, and ultimately committed suicide on Awaji Island.

Although it is March now, a month has passed since the January and February flowering periods of daffodils, but large swaths of daffodils are still blooming on Awaji Island.

All over the mountains and plains, yellow and pure white flowers bloom in the wind, reflecting in the emerald sea, which is refreshing and refreshing.

In this flower field, a torii gate stands quietly.

The bright red paint of the torii has long since faded, leaving only a dull wooden structure.

No one knows which shrine nearby this torii belongs to. Due to the Japanese people's respect for gods, no one has questioned this torii for many years.

Behind the torii, between the peaks, there is a cave.

The cave is surrounded by weeds and is inaccessible. There is only a rope tied to the entrance of the cave, but it has also been polished and faded by years of wind and frost.

The man wearing a gold and red kimono stood in front of the cave entrance, feeling quite emotional.

"Have I been here for twenty-five years?"

He raised his hand slightly, trying to break the rope, but was stopped by Tamamo Mae who held back his tail.

"If you break this, the spiritual masters will notice it."

Tamamozen smiled and continued.

"Let me do it."

She took a leisurely stroll, bypassed the rope, and walked into the cave.

The man raised his eyebrows.

This cave is not as ordinary as it seems. It is surrounded by Shinto, Buddhist, Onmyoji and related spells, and there is even a church incantation, which is layered and densely packed to seal the cave.

In addition to internal ones, there are also external ones, driving away strangers, ignoring vision, and blocking information, creating a complete cage here.

For the past twenty-five years, the man's soul jade has been quietly placed here.

"Tamamo Mae originally had the status of a shrine maiden under Amaterasu, and could freely travel through such a large formation."

Shuten Doji explained, glanced at Abe Seimei who was alone in the distance, and then became a little curious.

"Speaking of which, how did you meet Tamamo-mae?"

Gossip is not only human nature, but also the nature of ghosts.

The man glanced at Shuten Doji and saw that Tamamo Mae would still have some time to come out, so he said softly.

"When I was commissioning the project, I accidentally rescued an injured fox that was about to die. After the little guy was cured, he stayed with me."

When he said these words, he acted much gentler than before, which surprised Shuten Doji.

Didn't expect this guy to show such an expression?

"The fox is Tamamo-mae?"

Shuten Doji asked curiously.

"Yes, then one night, the little fox disappeared, and a woman suddenly appeared in my house, talking about repaying a favor, and kept saying who knows this."

The man smiled, seeming to remember the scene at that time.

"So, you were not beguiled by Tamamo-mae to choose this path?"

Shuten Doji thought about it for a while and decided to be more straightforward.

"My goals are different from yours."

The man's smile disappeared.

"I just want to take back what's mine."

something that belongs to you

Shuten Doji looked at the man's figure thoughtfully.

According to his understanding, this man, even twenty-five years ago, was not just a spiritual exterminator.

Just like the remains of Tsukuyomi, this man is also the existence of a certain god who transformed into his own form.

He has the memories of his time as a god, and because of this, he is able to master the art of exorcism in the shortest possible time and develop it to a whole new level.

Because that is his domain.

Shuten Doji was a little curious as to which deity this spirit slayer was incarnate.

However, the other party kept silent, and Shuten Doji stopped asking further.

Judging from what Hell saw, this guy was much stronger than him. Shuten Doji even felt that the power he showed was just the tip of the iceberg.

What's more important is that currently, Shuten Doji only knows that there are gods who change their status and fall from a high position to a high status to maintain their existence, but they have never heard of a similar existence that can be promoted from a low status to a high status.

Such a way of sublimation should have been out of the question after the emergence of human beings and the path of faith was occupied.

Shuten Doji was a little curious as to what he was going to do.

At this time, Tamamo Mae had come out of the cave, holding a simple spear in his hand.

The spear was as long as a naginata and had a long wooden shaft, exuding a simple atmosphere. The spear body was not rusty, but was like a brand new mirror, reflecting everyone's faces.

Tamamo Mae raised the spear with both hands and presented it to the man.

He picked up the spear with one hand.

After looking at it carefully for a while, he looked away.

"This is.?"

Shuten Doji felt the power in the spear, and he had a vague guess.

"Izanagi and Izanami were responsible for creating the world. They picked up a spear and stirred up the chaos in the world. When they pulled out the spear, a drop of water dripped from the tip of the spear, forming the symbol of the Republic of China. Honshu Island.”

In the distance, Abe Seimei explained loudly.

"This spear must be the spear that opened up the Republic of China."

Spear of Heaven.

Compared with the eight-foot magatama, the eight-foot mirror, and the Tiancongyun sword, they are more ancient and high-ranking.

It is an artifact among artifacts.

Of course, in the mythology of the Republic of China, the Spear of Heaven only appeared once in the creation myth, and then disappeared without any trace.

Even the shrines that worship eight million gods in Japan are not related, and there is no impostor.

"I didn't expect that it would be sealed here?"

Shuten Doji suddenly had some clues about the identity of this spiritual master.

"The Spear of Heaven has been stored on Awaji Island for a long time. I discovered this at the time. Unfortunately, I discovered it too late. I could only suppress it reluctantly and let the spiritual exterminators ignore its existence."

The man said with emotion.

"This spear controls the authority of creation and rebirth, and is the power to turn the ambiguous and chaotic sea into an island."

"But at the same time, this is also the spear of rebirth that can turn land into sea water and restore order to chaos."

In the man's hand, the Spear of Heaven spun in a circle.

"Reverse the water and the sky, the spear of heaven."

Some kind of vibration burst out from Awaji Island.
