This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

Beichuan Temple continued to move forward.

And every time I saw him take down an earth spirit, Yihui Naluo's heart skipped a beat.

Something whispered in her ear:

This cannot go on.

He cannot be allowed to go on.

If this continues, the God's Tree will fall into his hands...

The tree of the gods...the glory of the Ihui family...the great ambitions of the previous great gods cannot be abandoned.

In this thought, Iginaru raised his eyes.

Calm, calm, and then——

She suddenly stretched out her hand and pulled up Yi Huiguang, who was following Beichuan Temple. The light golden air blast exploded and at the same time forced Beichuan Temple, who was dealing with the earth spirit, to retreat several steps.

It works!

Yi Huinaluo's eyes shrank, and madness gathered in his eyes.

And just as she was thinking like this——

She felt severe pain in her right foot.

It turned out that Beichuan Temple had already prepared a death trap at her feet.

Kitagawa Temple has always been paying attention to Iguri Naraku, and now that the other party suddenly moves, of course he will not show mercy!

The dark chain of death energy extending from Kitagawa Temple's hand completely pulled her right leg.

He actually formed an explosion-proof shield with one hand to block the Earth Spirit's attacks, and kept pulling her back with the other hand? !

Under this situation, Yihui Naraku gritted his teeth!

A sad wail came from her mouth.

In the surprised eyes of Beichuan Temple, she actually reached out and cut her spirit body into two pieces starting from the waist.

The remains of the pale gold body fell heavily to the ground.

This woman——

He actually gave up half of his spiritual body?

Seeing the figure of the other party flying completely into the darkness under the Foot Corridor with Yi Huiguang, Beichuanji clearly felt an emotion that was so crazy that he looked forward to death.

"Guang Juxu!" Yihui Juxu looked panicked and subconsciously stretched out his hand to his sister.

But Iginaru's speed was so fast that people had no time to react.

Under this situation, Beichuan Temple could only temporarily focus on dealing with the earth spirit in front of him.

After about ten seconds, the earth spirit was eliminated. Beichuan Temple looked at Yihui Juxu.

This time he asked without hesitation: "Does your Yihui family still have a secret passage in this place?"

This is already obvious.

Ihui Nara cannot survive in the Foot Corridor, let alone the one she brings with her.

Then the answer will be clear.

There is some kind of secret passage hidden under the Foot Corridor.

Through a certain secret passage, Yihui Naraku can escape from here directly.

"...Indeed...there is a secret passage under the Foot Corridor of Ihui Shrine. As long as you pass through that secret passage, you can go to a safer place without having to fight with the earth spirits like now."

Yihui Juxu said hurriedly.

His sister was taken away in front of him.

Thinking of the treatment she might receive next, Yi Huijuxu felt her hands and feet go cold.

There is only one reason why Yihui Naluo took Yihuiguang away to live there.

Yi Huiguang was used as a living sacrifice to awaken the tree of the gods.

She wished she could set out to search for the two of them now, but under the Corridor of the Foot, her personal abilities were of no use at all.

Yihuijuxu just wanted to continue talking——

"Wait a moment." Beichuan Temple stopped him.

Then under Yi Huijuxu's gaze, Beichuan Temple raised his hand.

The dark aura of death that lingered around completely wiped out the kind thoughts hidden in her body.

"That's good. She shouldn't be able to hear our conversation."

After destroying the other party's monitoring spell, Beichuan Temple signaled Yi Huijuxu to speak.

After receiving permission, Yi Huijuxu continued:

"Actually, the straight-line distance between our five trial rooms is much shorter than the straight-line distance from the secret passage to the God's Wood."

"Yeah?"

"Um."

Yihui Juxu responded, thinking about the contents of the family books he had read, and continued: "Because the five trial rooms actually lead directly to the God Controlling Wood. After all, the spiritual bodies of those who have passed the trial are extremely weak. Only by passing through the tree of gods for the first time can one become a heavenly being."

"But the secret passage is different. This is something that simply serves the five major trials. Therefore, after walking out of the secret passage, you have to go some distance to reach the place where the God's Tree is."

This explanation is quite reasonable.

After all, the secret passage under the Corridor of the Foot only serves the five major trials, so it is understandable that it cannot lead directly to the God's Tree.

So the question now is whether Kitagawa Temple's side is faster or Iginaru's side is faster.

Although the straight-line distance is shorter, there are still obstacles like earth spirits on this side, so it is difficult to reach the God's Tree before Iginaru, no matter how hard you think about it.

Yihui Juxu's feet felt weak.

She looked at Beichuan Temple, hoping that the other party would say a few words of comfort to her.

Under this look, Beichuan Temple spoke.

What he said was also very simple.

"Continue to go."

After he finished speaking, he carried his backpack and continued walking forward.

The back is straight and the steps are steady.

This unfazed attitude seemed to have infected Yihui Juxu.

She nodded vigorously and followed Beichuanji again.

Deliberately speeding up their pace, Beichuan Temple and Yi Huijuxu quickly left the Foot Corridor and came to the next scene, Waist Gate.

Torture tools, black bloodstained, damaged doors...

If it were normal times, Beichuan Temple would definitely check it carefully.

But it's different now.

Beichuan Temple quickly walked into the waist gate with Yihui Juxu. As he pushed forward, he did not forget to ask about Yihui Naraku.

He was actually quite curious, why was Iginaru so obsessed with mastering the God-controlling Tree? He even did not hesitate to cut off his own spirit body.

"Perhaps... it has something to do with the previous Great Heavenly Being." Yi Huijuxu sighed quietly and continued to answer: "The previous Great Heavenly Being wanted to transform all the islanders into Heavenly Beings. In this way, The islanders no longer have to worry about food, shelter, and clothing..."

With Yi Huijuxu's explanation, Beichuan Temple learned the whole story.

The previous great celestial being wanted to transform all the islanders into celestial beings by mastering the method of controlling the tree of gods, but this great celestial being failed in the end. All the spirit bodies were devoured by the wild and evil things that emerged from the ground, and the heavenly beings suffered heavy losses.

"And under this situation, Naraku-sama was sacrificed to the God Tree as a living sacrifice to the shrine maiden, and successfully became a heavenly being... But this was just the beginning of sadness and terror, because Naraku-sama's teacher was the Lord. The great heavenly being of Yi Ren..."

The glory of Igumi Shrine, the transformation of gods and humans, the mastery of the tree of the gods, the departure of the teacher... These made Igumi Naraku's pure good thoughts become tainted with obsession.

She became paranoid, always thinking about how to master the God's Wood.

But the tree of control of the gods has been passed down for so many years, and there are not a few people who have the same thoughts as Ihui Naraku.

And the fate of those people is also failure——

Iginaru was not spared either.

She wants to use the witch's blood as a channel to let her spiritual body enter the God's Tree, completely control it, and make all the islanders become heavenly beings.

But Ihui Naraku completely failed.

This led to the tragedy of Yihui Day twenty years ago.

"And the cause of the tragedy was pushed by Lord Naraku to the miko who escaped from Ihui Island at that time..."

Yi Huijuxu's voice paused, and when he was about to continue speaking, he was interrupted by Beichuan Temple.

"Son of Yihui?"

"That's right... Master Kitagawa, you asked your heavenly being to go to Kyoto to see the situation of the Son of God, right? The punishment of the water cage box made her spiritual body confused, and she couldn't even remember who she was."

Iginaru blamed his failure on the miko Igiri Kamiko who left the island, saying that it was because of her departure that the ceremony failed.

In this way, she maintained her prestige among the heavenly beings on the island, and at the same time, she was able to punish the son of Yihui who interfered with her plans.

Until now, Yihui Shenzi is still suffering cruel punishment.

Kitagawa Temple subconsciously touched his Kagura bell with a deep look.

The current Iginaru is just an undead being bound by the afterimage of the previous Great Celestial being.

Paranoid and crazy, although she wants all the islanders to become heavenly beings and make everyone happy, these ideas come from her own goodwill, but that goodwill has completely deteriorated.

Because the goodwill imposed on others is no longer goodwill, but naked malice.

Not every islander wants to become a celestial being or abandon his or her body.

But Iginaru didn't think so.

Life or death is not a choice for the islanders themselves. And in her own paranoid and crazy thoughts.

Thinking of this, Beichuan Temple raised his head.

In front not far from here, there are earth spirits.

...

The door of the waist and the room of the eyes need no elaboration on the process.

In fact, it is just a continuous process of encountering and solving earth spirits.

After absorbing the spirits of these earth spirits, Kanesada under Kitagawa Temple became more and more restless.

The dark blood on the surface has almost completely fallen off.

"We are very fast. Maybe we can reach the God's Tree before Lord Naraku!"

Yihui Juxu's face was full of hope as he walked in the narrow corridor.

She really didn't expect that Beichuan Temple would be so efficient. It only took an hour to take her out of the Waist Gate and Eye Room.

Now there is only the final space between the skulls. As long as you pass there, it will be smooth sailing.

"According to records, the Skull Center is at the right corner ahead. As long as you can pass through smoothly, you can go directly to the God's Tree."

Yihui Juxu explained the direction to Beichuan Temple.

And just as she explained this, Beichuanji took a step forward.

Almost a minute later, Yihui Juxu and Beichuan Temple stopped in front of the door between heads.

Here...is between the skulls.

I don't know what is hidden in it.

Beichuan Temple and Yihui Juxu looked at each other, and then stepped into it together.

There was no imaginary scene of heads hanging from the ceiling, nor were there any earth spirits attacking from everywhere.

In the empty room, there were only figures with faint radiance.

This familiar translucent figure made Beichuan Temple's expression change.

"What is this...?" Yihui Juxu was about to take two steps, but was stopped by Beichuan Temple.

Kitagawa Temple signaled her not to act arbitrarily.

Under this situation, Yi Huijuxu naturally obeyed.

Seeing that she no longer acted rashly, Beichuan Temple took the initiative to walk up and reach out to touch the figure that exuded a faint light.

A dizzy feeling came, and the surrounding scenery was lengthening.

The figure just now was an afterimage.

Man longs intensely for the things he has formed.

So here it is...

"Between the skulls of Yihui Shrine?"

There are lamp holders placed on both sides between the heads, with faint lights hanging from them.

And beside this dim light, sat an old man wearing white hunting clothes.

It seems that the other party is waiting for people who have passed the five trials to come over.

The waiting process didn't take long. Beichuan Temple only stood there for about ten seconds before the door behind it opened.

A translucent spirit body of a young man floated out from behind the door.

Under the gaze of Beichuan Temple, Old Man Kari walked over.

He looked at the spirit body that had finally passed the five trials, lowered his body and spoke to him in detail.

But these words could not be heard no matter how close Beichuan Temple was, as if they were blocked by something.

But after listening to what the old man said, the young man's spirit body couldn't help but murmur to himself:

"...So it turns out that...the gods...the gods...for the islanders?...Everything is a scam. It turns out that everything is a scam!"

The young man's spirit body let out a wild and pitiful cry.

Heavenly being? For the islanders? scam?

Beichuan Temple's brows widened when he heard these nonsense words.

It turned out to be true.

After he had almost thought things through, the surrounding scenery turned around again, and everything returned to its original state.

"Master Beichuan, are you okay?" Yi Huijuxu looked worriedly at Beichuan Temple who had come back to his senses.

Kitagawaji is now the only straw that he has to save his sister. If something happens to him, leaving him to face Iginaru will be just a waste of time.

"It's okay." Kitagawaji glanced at his Kagura Bell again, and when he found that the Kagura Bell was still plugged into the water bag in his backpack, he breathed a small sigh of relief: "Let's get out of here."

"good."

Yihui Juxu wished he could leave the space between his heads as soon as possible.

She didn't want to know what happened to Beichuan Temple.

She just wanted to see her sister as soon as possible, and Yi Huiguang lived there.

The two of them quickly walked out of the side door between the skulls.

This side door is connected to a long corridor, and the cold atmosphere around it has been completely dispelled. It seems that no earth spirits will attack again.

In this case, the two of them didn't have to worry about the speed and simply started running.

After about fifteen minutes, the two finally left the long corridor and arrived at the main hall of the shrine.

The old, boxy shrine buildings form a neat grid

In the middle, there is a giant tree that makes people look up at——

The tree of the gods.

If you look closely, you can see that there are layers of humanoid figures placed under the God's Tree.

Behind this Ningyodai, there is a shrine gate.

That should be Iginaru's only entrance into the main hall.

The surroundings were very quiet, and not a single ghost could be seen under the God's Tree.

It seems that Beichuan Temple and Igumi Juxu really arrived at the God's Tree before Igumi Naraku.

Thinking of this, Beichuan Temple took Yihui Juxu and hid in the dark.

Then the next thing to do is very simple——

Sit back and wait.
