Truth is everywhere within range

One thing to say.

Although Asano Miko Asano Miko kept shouting.

But this was the first time Qiao Qiao saw Ariko Asano wearing a formal miko attire.

Her hair was tied back with sandalwood paper, and her white clothes were spotless.

The scarlet hakama is bright, which brings out her own beauty.

At this moment, Asano Ariko's eyes were closed and she was meditating, which looked a bit sacred and solemn.

It goes very well with this hall.

As expected of the apprentice shrine maiden of Atsuta Shrine.

Qiao Qiao sighed in his heart.

Then I saw Asano Ariko opening her eyes.

From pocket.

took out the mobile phone.

took out the mobile phone.

A series of crackling beats.

Qiao Qiao picked up his mobile phone.

A message popped up in the [Tokyo Ghost Exorcist Association] group.

[Ariko☆Kira]: I’m so bored. I really want to go back to sleep. I’m so sleepy.

[Wish for a one-shot bow]: Ariko-chan, look to the left.

Qiao Qiao also raised his head when he saw the news.

Ariko Asano looked at the exorcist coming from Tokyo with a slightly confused look.

Next to Qiao Qiao, across from Masato Kotokui, Fujiwara Ayano waved her hand gently.

Ariko Asano smiled when she saw Ayano Fujiwara.

Skip Masato Kotokui.

Seeing Qiao Qiao again, she smiled even more happily.

"?"

Wait a moment.

Qiao Qiao looked at the chat history and then at Fujiwara Ayano.

It turns out that she is also in the group?

Qiao Qiao only knew that Xingchuan Yuyan was in the group at first.

Later, I discovered that Masaharu Ii was also in the group.

Unexpectedly, Fujiwara Ayano was also in the group.

If that's the case, then probably Tsuchimikado Qingming from Yin Yang Liao is also in the group?

Qiao Qiao suddenly felt lingering fear.

Fortunately, I was careful with my words and actions and didn't offend anyone in the group.

This group is unfathomable.

While thinking, a priest hurriedly came from outside.

He said a few words in Asagami Rensaburo's ear before returning to the priests.

"Everyone."

Rensaburo Asagami spoke, and his powerful voice silenced the entire hall.

"I believe everyone has learned about this incident through the Soul Exorcist Association."

He looked around.

"Originally, on the fifth day of this month, the shrine will hold the Shangwu Festival, which is the grandest festival of the year at Atsuta Shrine."

For ordinary people, the Shangwu Festival is a lively festival, the purpose of which is to worship Tiancong Yunjian.

With lanterns, performances, temple fairs, fireworks displays, etc., both couples and families can enjoy the festival.

But for the priests and shrine maidens of Atsuta Shrine, this is an annual ritual to check the status of the Amancongyun Sword and draw strength from it.

For example, the sword bells enshrined as the gods in each branch of Atsuta Shrine were brought to the main shrine during this festival to be infiltrated by the spiritual power of the Amancongyun Sword.

It can be said that this is the most important festival at Atsuta Shrine.

This year's Shomu Festival was held as scheduled, and Atsuta Shrine welcomed a large number of tourists.

However, Asagami Rensaburo, who was in charge of the ceremony, discovered that he could no longer sense the Amancongyun Sword.

Therefore, after consulting Ise Jingu Shrine and the Imperial Palace.

Asagami Rensaburo passed through the curtain and came to the back of the enshrinement hall.

Yes.

Although the Amancongyun Sword is enshrined every year, in fact, Rensaburo Asagami has never seen the Amancongyun Sword.

Even the Emperor in the Imperial Palace can only take a look at the artifact when he succeeds to the throne.

Ordinary priests cannot look directly at it.

There is a record of a priest spying on the Amanso Unsword in the Edo Period book "Jade Lotus Collection".

However, later on, all of these priests met with misfortune and passed away, leaving only the last one who recorded the text about the Tiancongyun Sword.

Of course, the real Tiancong Yun Sword does not have the danger of killing someone at a glance.

The reason should be that the spiritual power contained in the Tiancongyun Sword itself is too strong.

Even just a glance would carry too much spiritual power.

If you cannot control it, it can easily lead to disaster.

Whether it's attracting other weirdos or being targeted by someone with intentions.

Asagami Rensaburo naturally doesn't have to worry about this.

He walked through the deserted hall and came to the throne.

Within the gauze, according to the description, there should be thick clouds covering the blade of the Tiancong Yunjian, making it difficult to see its specific appearance.

But at this moment, it was empty.

Tiancong Yunjian disappeared.

At first, Rensaburo Asagami only notified Ise Shrine and the Imperial Palace, hoping to rely on the power of Atsuta Shrine to recover the Amansun Sword.

This is not blind confidence from Asagami Rensaburo.

In history, the Tiancongyun Sword was stolen once.

It was more than 1,300 years ago, and the Tiancongyun Sword was stolen by a monk. Who would have expected that after a day and night, the Tiancongyun Sword disappeared, and when it reappeared, it had returned to the worship hall of Atsuta Shrine.

The monk did not believe in evil and stole it again.

This time he encountered a storm on the way and was unable to leave Nagoya.

At this time, the search net of Atsuta Shrine has been opened. The monk wanted to throw away the Tencongyun Sword and escape, but the Tencongyun Sword never left his side. In the end, the monk was arrested and the Tencongyun Sword returned to the shrine.

After that time, Tiancongyun Sword was kept in the imperial palace for a while.

It was not until other events happened later that I finally returned to Atsuta Shrine.

As for other attempted thefts, there were countless others, but they couldn't even get into the enshrinement hall of Tian Congyun Sword.

Artifacts are spiritual.

This is why the loss of the Tian Cong Yun Sword this time is disturbing.

Almost a month has passed, and not a single shadow of Tiancong Yunjian has been seen.

Could it be said that Atsuta Shrine has been abandoned by Tiancong Yunjian?

Although the spiritual power of the priests and witches does not come from the Tiancongyun Sword, many rituals, props, etc. need to rely on the power of the Tiancongyun Sword.

If the Amancongyun Sword disappears completely, then Atsuta Shrine will definitely gradually decline and eventually die.

Without the gods, what’s the point of a shrine?

What's more, if this kind of artifact falls into the hands of some criminals, the consequences will be unimaginable.

When Rensaburo Asagami told the story, his expression was unexpectedly calm.

Qiao Qiao can understand.

As a palace minister, how can he direct the search work if he himself is panicked.

"We have searched the urban area of ​​Nagoya and have not found the whereabouts of the Excalibur. We are now expanding the search scope."

Asagami Rensaburo said.

"I just received news that abnormal psychic phenomena have been detected in Futakata Town, Nishi Ward, Nagoya, Maruike Park, Nakagawa Ward, in the west, and Takemi Town, Mizuho Ward, in the east."

On the side of the main hall, there is a map of the vicinity of Nagoya. Many areas have been marked, and they must have been searched.

"In addition, spiritual power exploration work is underway in Inazawa City, Fuso Town and other areas."

Listening to Asagami Rensaburo's narration, Qiao Qiao was a little confused.

More than half a month has passed since June 5th.

If the Tian Congyun Sword is really stolen, then within half a month, let alone the territory of the country.

The Tiancong Yun Sword may have been used as a tool for young people in a tribe in Africa as a rite of passage.

Why is the search limited to the vicinity of Nagoya?

Perhaps someone had similar doubts to Qiao Qiao, Asagami Rensaburo quickly explained the reason.

"Although Tiancongyun Sword cannot be found, the connection between the Divine Palace and the Divine Sword does exist."

"According to the revelation we received, the Amancong Cloud Sword has been in Nagoya City for more than half a month."
