This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

Beichuan Temple exhaled, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

He flipped his wrist and Kanesada slipped into his hand. Then he stepped forward and rushed forward!

Poof! ! ! !

Silver light flashed through the air, and black liquid poured out from the neck of the resentful spirit. Then the entire spirit body stumbled back two steps, and the broken spirit body also fell heavily to the ground.

This is a matter of course. After all, the resentful spirit in front of you is an ordinary resentful spirit. There is nothing special about it. Naturally, such a resentful spirit is no match for Beichuan Temple.

but...

Beichuan Temple raised his eyebrows, picked up the flashlight he had left on the ground, and shined a vertical light towards the broken wraith lying on the ground.

In sight, the resentful spirit had dispersed into black resentment and scattered, leaving something wrapped in white cloth where it fell.

It looked like something was wrapped in the white cloth.

What was left in the body of the resentful spirit just now?

Kitagawaji picked it up from the ground. He handed the flashlight to Nishikujo who was lying on his shoulder and held it pitifully. He held the cloth with one hand and opened it with the other.

The cloth was opened, and a piece of magatama, which was polished very roughly, lay quietly in Beichuanji's hands.

At the same time, there was a cold prompt from the system.

The system prompts that you have discovered a new strange 'magatama'.

‘Magnatama: This is an ordinary piece of magatama, with strong resentment attached to it. It seems to want to escape from your hands and find its other half. ’

Beichuan Temple glanced at the commentary, and there was a look of death in his eyes.

Under the sight of death, one can indeed see the resentment entwined on this piece of magatama.

But want to escape from yourself...?

Beichuanji held the piece of magatama and looked it up and down, and finally shook his head.

Is it possible that this magatama can grow legs and run away?

Besides, in the hands of Beichuan Temple, can this piece of Magatama escape even if it has legs?

and...

The other half Magatama?

Kitagawaji patted Nishikujo pitifully, and asked her to hold the flashlight steady and look at it carefully.

Finally, he discovered a hidden inlay on the side of the magatama.

Kitagawaji couldn't help but rub his chin.

If another piece of magatama has the same shape as this piece of magatama, then the combined shape should be exactly the shape of a full moon.

In Japan, magatama is considered to be a worship of the moon because of its shape... This should be directly related to the Tsukiyomi fortune-telling worshiped by the Sifang family.

But apart from this... what does this half piece of magatama symbolize?

To be honest, the polishing technique of this magatama is very rough, and the whole body is dark, and it feels different from ordinary stones.

Beichuanji shook his head.

There is so little information now that even he cannot imagine the cause and effect behind magatama out of thin air.

He gave the magatama to Nishikujou, who was watching in rapt attention, and after telling her not to lose it, he got out of the wooden cage.

It seems that the only things in this row of wooden cage prisons that can bring him any harvest are this magatama and the blood-stained text.

Beichuan Temple moved his feet, bypassed the wooden cage prison, and continued to move forward.

As Beichuan Temple continues to advance, the horizon becomes narrower and narrower.

Shadows lingered in the abandoned corners, as if someone was peeking in the dark.

The wooden pillars stood on both sides, and they were arranged neatly forward in a sinister manner.

If you look at it like this, you feel like your whole body will be swallowed up by these overlapping wooden pillars without even realizing it.

Especially now that the sky has completely darkened, and you can't see anything at all, whether it's the road ahead or behind you, it's even more depressing.

During this journey, Beichuan Temple checked all the rooms he passed along the way, but did not get any useful information.

These rooms are basically furnished and should be where the people who guard the sinners live.

Beichuanji stopped and raised his head.

He had completely bypassed the wooden cage prison just now, and the scenery in front of him changed from a dark corridor to a long corridor extending forward.

There are no walls on both sides of the corridor, and the columns are neatly arranged leading to the shrine hall in front.

Therefore, Beichuan Temple can see things outside.

In the distance to his left was the shrine building spreading past.

These shrine buildings and the place where Kitagawa Temple stands at the foot are floating on the swaying lake. Just a cursory look at the past, you will find that this "mountain back sacrifice" area is all floating on a lake.

This may be the ‘Yueyou Lake’ that Kaguya Sifang mentioned.

And under this moonlit lake is the underworld that the Sifang family has always wanted to suppress.

According to legend, every time the 'dark moon hour' comes, terrifying desolate and evil things and the rich aura of the underworld will emerge from this lake.

However, this time is not the "dark moon time" once a year, so the lake has no fluctuations. The rippled lake surface reflects the first quarter moon phase, giving it a sense of beauty that time has frozen.

The pale moonlight fell from the sky, giving the temple building in front of Beichuan Temple a ferocious outline.

Beichuan Temple leaned against the miserable red fences on both sides of the corridor. After thinking for a while, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, intending to take pictures of the scenery here and send the pictures to Mirai Kamiya when he went out.

But just when Kitagawaji held his phone steady and planned to take a photo——

Snapped! ! !

Qingbai's slender arm stretched out from the side and violently whipped Beichuanji's cell phone away.

Fortunately, Nishikujo moved quickly, and she jumped out from Kitagawaji's shoulders. A chain of kindness was connected between the puppet's little body and Kitagawaji.

She dexterously caught the mobile phone flying in the air, and then the entire puppet body was suspended one centimeter away from the lake.

She flapped her two small round legs in mid-air. Seeing that the phone did not fall, the puppet holding the phone also breathed a sigh of relief.

And as soon as he relaxed, Nishikujo's poor round face, which had been holding his breath, became deflated...

"Well done, poor man."

Kitagawaji praised Nishikujo for being pitiful, and then turned his head to look at the resentful spirit that came out of the darkness.

This resentful spirit was wearing a priest's robe, and its mouth was as wide as Beichuanji's head. It looked very ferocious and terrifying.

At this time, it was opening its huge mouth and making a terrifying howling sound at Beichuan Temple.

This look is so scary that just looking at it makes people feel numb.

Then--

Bang! ! ! !

Beichuanji didn't hesitate, jumped up and hit the resentful spirit on the head.

Its head exploded like a watermelon run over by a truck, and all its rich contents exploded onto Kitagawaji's body and face.

Under this situation, Beichuan Temple just stretched out his hand and wiped the dark plasma on his face expressionlessly, and swung the sledgehammer in his hand again——

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The ground was trembling, wood chips were flying, and the resentful spirit on the ground started with its limbs twitching, and finally turned into a puddle of blood. It was no longer possible to see the human form just now.

In this case, Kitagawaji's palm stretches forward.

The blue flame floated up in his hand.

This is exactly the fire that Congshen resides in the village.

Beichuan Temple threw down the standing fire in his hand without hesitation.

boom! ! !

When Zhuhuo encountered the remaining resentment, it burned brightly.

Seeing the dark resentment gradually evaporating, Kitagawaji also turned around, pulled Nishikujo up pitifully, and at the same time took the mobile phone she handed over.

Nothing seems to be wrong with the phone.

After getting this result, Kitagawa Temple nodded with satisfaction, reached out and touched Nishikujo's poor head, then turned around and spread a handful of fire again at the remains of the resentful spirit, and then walked towards the temple in front.

‘Yueyou Ceremony Hall’.

The short name remains above the bundle of plaques.

Kitagawa Temple held Kanesada tightly, stretched out his hand to push open the door, and stepped into the main hall with gentle steps.

In his hands, Kansada's soul-charging effect has been activated. No matter what comes out of the darkness, Kitagawa Temple can cut it in two.

But under the sight of death, no resentful spirit could be seen in this ritual hall.

There were strings hanging above his head, layer upon layer, and pale white zigzag imperial coins were connected to these strings, hanging densely in the air.

Right in front of Beichuan Temple is a simple and old sacrificial square table, with an intact document enshrined on it, and a sense of solemnity comes over you.

"That is...?"

Beichuan Temple's eyes flashed, and he stepped forward without hesitation, reaching out to pick up the enshrined scroll-shaped document.

But before his palm touched the document, a cry came from behind Beichuan Temple.

"Non-people from the four directions are not allowed to touch Yue You's documents."

Beichuan Temple subconsciously looked back.

I saw a few damaged and pale shadows of priests wearing evil ghost masks rushing towards Beichuan Temple.

but--

It's just a pounce.

Beichuanji stood there without dodging, and these damaged shadows passed through his body and disappeared.

These are the afterimages left by the priests, and they simply contain the shadow of the thought of "protecting the documents".

Therefore they cannot harm humans.

Beichuan Temple turned around and picked up the round scroll.

After casually untiing the rope, he also cast his gaze on it.

‘Yueyou Document (Part 1)’

‘The human soul comes from the moon, and the destination of human beings after death is also the moon. ’

‘The moon is the closest place to the underworld, and the moon is connected to the underworld, so Yueyou Lake, which reflects the moon phase, is also the closest place to the underworld. ’

‘When the dark moon comes, we need to use the Sifang Altar to suppress the underworld that is about to move in Yueyue Lake. ’

‘The Four Directions Altar must not be touched rashly. ’

‘The Four Directions Altar must not be touched rashly. ’

‘The Four Directions Altar must not be touched rashly. ’

‘If necessary, the four-sided altar should be sunk to isolate the present world from the hidden world. ’

‘After sinking into the Sifang Altar, you should take away the Yue Hui Mirror and the Moon Observation Mirror and leave the site quickly. Leave hope to the Sifang family. ’

These words are clearly recorded on the document.

Beichuanji also flicked his fingers after reading this short document.

It seems that in the Sifang family's understanding, human souls come from the moon, and the destination of human beings after death is also the moon.

In other words, the moon above our head is the bridge between this world and that world.

Only by using the power of Yuehua can Huangquan in Yueyou Lake be suppressed.

And the three rows of words 'Don't touch the Four Directions Altar' also emphasize the importance of the Four Directions Altar.

Kitagawaji stroked his chin.

The following words are also easy to understand.

According to Shifang Kaguya's previous explanation, the Moonlight Mirror is an important spiritual tool used to open the barrier of the Shifang Shrine, and the Moon Observing Mirror is an important spiritual tool used to restart the Sifang Shrine.

The two are inseparable.

But...is it really like Kaguya Shifang said?

The Yue Hui Mirror and the Moon Observation Mirror...are they really just spiritual tools that simply open the enchantment of the Sifang Shrine and restart the Sifang Shrine?

Beichuan Temple instinctively felt that something was wrong here.

In addition, there are too few things recorded in the first volume of the 'Yue You Document', and the content inside gives people a feeling of being secretive.

It seems that further investigation is needed to find out the secrets inside.

Beichuan Temple put the first volume of Yueyou Documents into his backpack, and then he made sure that there was nothing valuable except this thing in the Yueyou Sacrifice Hall, and then he simply left.

After leaving the Yueyou Sacrifice Hall, Beichuan Temple stood at the door again.

He faced a choice.

The wooden path is divided into left and right sides. The wooden path on the left leads to the stretch of shrine buildings on the left, and the wooden path on the right leads to a short, lonely, single temple floating on the water.

Where to investigate first...that's the question.

Just as Kitagawaji was thinking, Asamiya Eisei, who was hidden in the Kagura bell, spoke:

"Tera-kun, I feel like there is something hidden in the temple on the right... It is the same wave of resentment as the letter you just picked up in the wooden cage prison."

"The same wave of resentment?"

Beichuan Temple's expression moved slightly.

He originally thought that there would be no follow-up to the blood-stained document he picked up just now, but now it seems...that doesn't seem to be the case.

Beichuan Temple pondered and made a choice: "...let's go."

Anyway, there is just a side hall on the right, so it shouldn't take long to just walk over and investigate.

Beichuan Temple thinks so.

This is also done.

He arrived in front of the temple in three steps and two steps at a time, then stretched out his hand and gently pushed the door open.

Like the previous one, this small side hall had no protection, so Beichuan Temple simply pushed the door open.

He raised the flashlight in his hand.

Under the illumination of the vertical light, the things in the side hall also came into view of Beichuan Temple.

"Is this... Ema?" Kitagawaji narrowed his eyes.

Yes, there are four low red pillars erected in this temple, and densely packed Ema wood pieces are hung on these low pillars.

The so-called ema is actually a Japanese way of praying. Write your own prayers on the small pieces of wood and pray for God's protection.

But Beichuan Temple did not expect that there would be such a prayer place next to the ritual hall.

And look at the shapes and colors of the ema hanging on the large vermilion pillars... these should all be ema related to marriage.

Looking at the number of these painted horses, Kitagawaji couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

It would undoubtedly take a lot of time to find the ema left by the wooden cage prison man among such a terrifying number.

He turned to look at Kagura Suzu. Before he could speak, Asamiya Nagai had already given a hint in a gentle tone:

"The second pillar on the right, tenth block from top to bottom...that should be it."
