This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

Four and a half hours of free time is nothing.

After Beichuanji finished what he needed to do, he returned to Ihimoto's house.

It seems that Ihui Naraku told the Ihui Islanders outside in advance that whatever Beichuan Temple wants, these islanders will give it to him for free.

Most of what Beichuan Temple got was some dried meat or small skewers of small fish.

He wrapped these things in dry cloth and put them in his backpack as dry food.

After all, this trip is one day today and one day tomorrow, so you still need to bring some dry food and water.

"Are you fully prepared? Master Beichuan?" Iginaru, who was sitting on the main seat, opened his eyes and asked softly.

Beichuanji didn't answer, just nodded.

"Then let's set off now." Yihui Naluo stood up, and at the same time turned her head to sister Yihui who was kneeling next to her and said, "It's time for us to go. The light is here, home."

It is worth mentioning that the Yihui sisters have taken off their plain white kimonos and put on white witch robes.

The sleeves of the robe are very short, and it seems that the size has been modified to some extent.

After all, the place we are going to next is deep in a dense forest. If the long sleeves are really fat, it will definitely affect the movement.

Iginaru was not a pedantic person, so he allowed some changes to be made on the witch's robe.

Yi Huijuxu followed Yihui Naluo obediently, while the other Yihui Guangjuju stood obediently behind Beichuan Temple.

After the two of them stood up, Iguri Naraku also said to Beichuan Temple: "Although Hikaru has a certain ability to resist wild and evil things, I still hope that Master Beichuan can give her a little help when the time comes."

"I understand." Beichuan Temple agreed to this request, which was not particularly excessive.

Just protecting Yi Huiguang's home is not a big deal.

After the few people decided on their next strategy, they walked directly out of Yihui's house and walked towards the Goshen Forest Shrine.

During the walk, the number of islanders increased. When we arrived at the Goshen Forest Shrine, both sides were already densely packed with islanders.

They were silent for a while, and after a while, they heard bursts of low singing coming from the end of the Goshen Forest shrine.

At some point, there were already three shrine maidens wearing sacrificial utensils standing at the end of the road, offering blessings to Kitagawa Temple and Iginaru below.

Accompanying this low chanting sound are the sounds of taiko drums and kagura bells.

This ecstasy was sung by the witches of the ancient Ihui Shrine. Following the slow drumbeats and the crisp sound of the kagura bells, it sounded faintly:

"People have the Tao, good destiny is rewarded, they are named parents and children, their moral origin is the reason, and their hearts are refined." ’

‘This is the sincerity of the Lord. ’

‘Hui Yi Dao, Yu Muyou, Torii Realm, Tianxian Lian. ’

‘It is for the waist, eyes, head, feet and hands. ’

‘…’

This primordial poem was so familiar that Beichuanji couldn't help but look at Iguri Naraku next to him.

Yihui Naraku also gave an explanation in a timely manner: "This is the ancestral saying handed down from our Yihui Island from a long time ago. The first part is to wish us a smooth trip, and the second part is what I explained to you last time. The content of the exorcisms passed."

After all, the Day of Yihui is also a major event on Yihui Island. It is impossible for Yihui Naraku to take Beichuanji and the others to the depths of Yushen Forest without making a sound. Especially in the eyes of some islanders, Ihui Naraku went to the depths of the Goddess Forest to restart the Ihui Shrine and awaken the sacred tree to find a way out for them. Therefore, it is understandable that the islanders spontaneously organize this ceremony.

Amid these various gazes, Kitagawaji followed behind Iginaru and walked towards the end of the shrine——

It wasn't until the figure completely disappeared in the Yushen Forest that these villagers completely dispersed.

...

Under the leadership of Iguri Naraku, Kitagawaji and others quickly arrived at the correct entrance to the God Forest Spiritual Realm.

It can also be seen from here that it is not the first time for Iginaru to come to this place.

Perhaps after the sacred tree withered, she tried several times to restart the shrine alone, but in the end she failed.

This time, it was only after seeing Kitagawa Temple's ability that she came up with the idea of ​​restarting the shrine and awakening the sacred tree, right?

Bang! ! ! !

Yihui Naraku shook out a light golden air current from his spirit body.

This airflow directly smashed the resentful spirits of the islanders that rushed towards them into pieces.

The black liquid also scattered in all directions.

After getting rid of the sudden appearance of the resentful spirit, Yihui Naluo's expression moved slightly and he looked towards Beichuan Temple.

Under her sight, Beichuan Temple held a heavy death-energy sledgehammer in his hand, and suddenly hit the face of the resentful spirit that rushed towards him.

Along with the crisp sound of bone crushing, the whole head of the resentful spirit was completely blown away, and then exploded like a watermelon in the air.

The contents were spilled all over the floor.

"..." Yi Hui Nai Luo.

On the surface, she had no emotional fluctuations, but in her heart, she was so shocked that she had nothing to attach to.

Is there such a way to get rid of resentful spirits in the world? !

This is the first time I've seen it.

This unique method of removing spirits made her feel that all her years of study had been in vain.

Just when she was about to praise Kitagawa Temple's operational efficiency, a resentful spirit suddenly emerged from the ground in front of her——

With a bluish-white complexion, a rotten face, outward-turned nails, and twisted arms... he is a very standard ordinary wraith.

And just when Iguri Naraku was about to use his kind thoughts to directly smash it into pieces...

Bang! ! ! ! !

The head exploded.

Yes, the wraith's head exploded.

Igina blinked in confusion, then subconsciously reached out and touched her face.

Her face was covered with a mixture of the resentful yellow and black smelly liquid, and a few pieces of meat even flew into her mouth with the liquid.

A feeling of extreme nausea and vomiting made Iginaru's face almost turn blue.

But now she is a spirit body and will neither vomit nor turn blue, but her face looks particularly ugly.

The tragic situation of this spirit body can only be caused by Beichuanji, the only one among them who uses heavy weapons.

"No need to thank me." Beichuan Temple took back the death energy hammer and said calmly.

Do I still thank you? !

Yihui Naluo's fingers trembled slightly.

But it happened that at this time, Ihui Naraku still had to put on a good face to thank Beichuan Temple.

After all, it seemed that Kitagawa Temple had rescued her.

She thanked Beichuanji with a smile, then turned around and suggested, "Let's take a break for now?"

Iginaru's spirit body was full of filth, and she wanted to wait until all the filth disappeared before continuing to explore.

"That's fine. We've been here for almost four or five hours."

Kitagawa Temple agreed to Iginaru's proposal.

Although Beichuan Temple is not too tired, in this kind of spiritual realm full of resentment, Yi Huiguangju and Yihui Juxu behind them have spent a lot of energy to protect themselves. If this continues, the two of them will not be able to keep up. Their.

Therefore, it is safer to take a short rest here.

Beichuan Temple found a cleaner place, took out the bacon jerky from his backpack, and ate it with water.

On the other side, Yi Huiguang Juju and Yi Hui Juxu also took out the noodles they had brought out without saying a word.

Seeing that several people had taken a break, Iginaru also spoke appropriately: "We have been walking for more than four hours, and there are still two hours to go before we can officially reach the outskirts of our abandoned village. You should also have noticed. Well, the further we explore inside, the more wild and evil things we encounter."

"Under the influence of the water of the underworld, the islanders who did not receive the support of the sacred tree have all turned into resentful spirits. This number will only become more terrifying when the gate of the underworld is disturbed later. Therefore, it is better to go directly into the village to spend the night outside. Take a break. Then move on when daylight comes."

Under Iginaru's explanation, Beichuan Temple also learned the secrets of this spiritual realm.

This vast spiritual realm forms the concepts of ‘day’ and ‘night’.

This does not simply refer to something as simple as the sky getting darker or lighter.

Rather, it simply means that during a certain period of time, the irritability of the resentful spirit will increase by one level, and that period of time is called night.

Beichuan Temple and the others entered the Mikami Forest during the day, and were about to enter the night.

Under the influence of the leakage of the underworld gate at night and on the day of Yihui, these evil spirits will only become more terrifying.

Fortunately, Kitagawa Temple rescued Kamiya Mirai's parents a few days ago. If it had been delayed until today, the two of them would have died in this place long ago.

Igumi Naraku suggested finding an empty room to rest near Igumi Shrine. It seems that because the resentful spirits are afraid of the breath of the sacred tree in Ihui Shrine, it is considered a relatively safe place.

After spending the night, go directly to Ihui Shrine and finish everything before midnight.

Restart the shrine and awaken the sacred tree.

After what Iginaru said, no one would stand up to object.

Even Beichuan Temple just glanced at her and agreed with her proposal.

Whether it is to awaken the sacred tree or restart the Ihui Shrine, his power is needed. Ihui Nara cannot make any troubles when he is already staring at her.

After solving the problem of the night, Iguri Naraku set his sights on Kitagawa Temple.

To be precise...it fell on Nishikujo's poor body on his shoulder.

The little puppet seemed to be aware of Igina's gaze, and took out a hammer from behind its buttocks, grinning at her.

It seems that the little guy still hasn't forgotten what happened a few days ago when Iguri Nara suddenly jumped out to suppress her.

Iginaru didn't care about Nishikujo's pitiful actions. She looked away and asked: "Speaking of Master Kitagawa, in addition to this little puppet god, don't you also have a Kagura Suzu miko god? Why did I only see one person today? Why didn’t I see the other one?”

"I'll let her come out when I need her help. I won't bother you."

Beichuanji didn't even bother to find an excuse and said directly.

"...Yeah?"

Igina narrowed her eyes and said after a while: "Then I'll look forward to it."

"Then you should really look forward to it." Kitagawa Temple touched the Kagura bell on his back, and followed the other person's words and said with a little meaning.

Iginaru turned his head.

Everyone has almost rested, and now they have to continue setting off.

They stood up again and pushed deeper into the jungle.

During this period another two hours passed.

This made Kitagawaji couldn't help but admire Kamiya Haru and Kamiya Chihiro. He didn't know how the two of them explored the surrounding area. They could discover ancient abandoned villages so far away.

Even with Iginaru leading the way, this process took a lot of time.

It’s hard to imagine how Kamiya Haru and Kamiya Chihiro found this abandoned village hidden in the dense forest in just three or four days without anyone to guide them.

"We're here." Iginaru, who had been leading the way, suddenly stopped.

This made Beichuan Temple, Yihuiguangju, and Yihuijuxu behind them stop in their tracks.

They came to a high cliff.

About four hundred meters away from this high cliff, a wide open flat land came into view.

The first thing my eyes came into contact with was a field bank.

Field ridges divide the barren fields, and dry streams connect them.

Looking back, we can see a peaceful, quaint, dilapidated and deserted village.

With white walls and wooden beams, a considerable number of houses collapsed without repairs. These houses are scattered scattered around, giving them an indescribable sense of desolation and grandeur.

civilization.

human civilization.

From this village, which has completely declined, we can feel the pulse of civilization as the people of Yihui Island work hard on Yihui Island, inherit their civilization, and continue to survive.

Why is folklore and archeology so fascinating?

Seeing this stunning scenery, it’s no wonder that Chihiro Kamiya and Osamu Kamiya were willing to set foot in such a dangerous place.

"That's our village...the forgotten village..."

Yihui Naraku's voice came faintly:

"That far away place that is out of reach."

"My hometown..."

Iginaru murmured to herself.

Now I want you to regain your former prosperity...

There was a hint of madness in his eyes that made people tremble.

...

There is a road from this high cliff to the bottom.

Walking to the far right of the high cliff, a road already overgrown with weeds comes into view.

Beichuan Temple, Yi Huiguangju, Yihui Juxu and the others pulled branches on the ground as tools to explore the path.

After all, there are too many weeds in the mountains. If your vision is obscured by these weeds, if you step on the ground and hit something, your whole life may be at risk here.

After slowly groping for half an hour, they finally reached the bottom of the cliff.

The walk from here to the other side is all flat, so it won't take much time at all.

"Thanks to the help of Master Beichuan this time. It usually takes me at least nine to ten hours to get to this place by myself. And even when I get to the bottom of the cliff, I have almost exhausted all my light and kindness, and I dare not move forward. Explored.”

Igina stood beside him and thanked him in time.

To this, Beichuanji just waved his hand: "Let's enter the village quickly."

According to Yihui Naluo, it should be the 'night' stage now, and it would be dangerous for Yihui Guang to stay outside with them.

"Okay." Iginaru didn't care about Kitagawa Temple's attitude. After agreeing to his proposal, he went to explore the village with a nostalgic look.
