This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

The air all around became silent. There was silence around the God's Tree, and no movement could be heard.

Beichuan Temple and Yihui Juxu hid behind the God's Tree without saying a word.

Ihui Naraku is somewhere, and he hasn't appeared yet.

"Why so slow?" Yihui Juxu muttered quietly.

She and Kitagawaji are indeed progressing a little faster, but Iginaru is not so slow.

As if he heard her muttering, Beichuan Temple turned around and glanced sideways at Yihui Juxu.

"Sorry, Master Beichuan."

Although he didn't understand what he had done wrong, he felt Beichuanji's gaze and wanted to apologize.

"I don't mean to blame you." Beichuan Temple replied casually, and then asked: "How long until twelve o'clock?"

Yi Huijuxu glanced subconsciously at the small and delicate hourglass held in his hand.

There is only the last quarter of the sand left in the hourglass.

"It looks like there are only the last two or three hours left." She replied thoughtfully.

After receiving the answer, Beichuan Temple also nodded and had no intention of talking more.

Rather than paying attention to time, Kitagawa Temple gently stroked the thick tree body and narrowed his eyes slightly.

From this sacred tree, Beichuan Temple felt that there was an indescribable vitality in it.

But underneath this exuberant vitality... there is a completely different feeling.

The cold, rancid, lifeless breath was stirring beneath the ground.

Maybe this is the effect of the Godly Tree suppressing the Gate of the Underworld. Those putrid, lifeless auras flow very slowly.

But this is only calm on the surface. According to Iginaru, if the God's Wood is not awakened today, everything will end.

Seeing that Beichuan Temple was fascinated, Yi Huijuxu on the other side also asked appropriately: "Is Master Beichuan thinking about how to suppress the Gate of Underworld?"

After hearing Yi Huijuxu's question, Beichuan Temple shook his head, and then stretched out his hand to pat the God's Tree.

After a while, he said slowly:

"I was wondering what would happen if the tree of control was cut down."

Yi Huijuxu stood next to Beichuan Temple, tilting his head with a smile on his face: "Huh?"

Kitagawa Temple glanced at her and said again: "I want to try to chop down the God's Tree."

"Ah?" Yi Huijuxu blinked his eyes as if he didn't react, and tilted his head again.

She looked at Beichuan Temple, and Beichuan Temple also looked at her seriously.

After about three minutes, Yi Huijuxu's voice trembled: "Are you kidding me? Master Beichuan."

This joke is not very funny.

Cut down the tree that has been passed down from generation to generation and protects the gods of Yigu Island? This is too...

"Do you think I'm joking?" Beichuanji asked back.

Gudu.

Yi Huijuxu swallowed his saliva and shook his head silently.

Kitagawaji's expression did not look like he was joking.

"But cutting down the God-controlling Tree has no meaning at all. Instead, it will make us lose the means to resist the Gate of Underworld."

Yi Huijuxu replied with the corner of his mouth twitching.

Beichuan Temple asked indifferently:

"Do you really feel that way?"

Is that really what you think...?

This sentence seemed to confuse Yihui Juxuwen.

If the Godly Tree, the most important 'pillar' that suppresses the Underworld Gate, is chopped down by Beichuan Temple, there is no doubt that evil things will sweep across the entire Yihui Island.

Just when Yi Huijuxu was about to say a few more words, he saw Beichuan Temple suddenly raise a finger and whisper: "Quiet, someone is coming."

somebody is coming? !

Yi Huijuxu's expression tightened and he turned to look at the shrine gate.

The surroundings were quiet again.

About two minutes later, Iginaru finally appeared at the door.

Only half of her body was left, and her spirit body glowed faintly.

Even Yihui Juxu could tell at a glance that the other party's spiritual body was in extremely poor condition.

Abandoning half of her spiritual body seemed to have severely damaged her vitality.

Behind Iginaru was a short figure.

Yi Huiguang lives there.

As soon as he saw his sister, Yi Huijuxu's eyes narrowed.

She didn't make a sound, just looked up and down at Yi Huiguang's residence.

fine.

Yihui Naluo seemed to know how to treat Yihuiguangju's sacrifice well, so there were basically no scars on Yihuiguangju's body.

As soon as he arrived at the God's Tree, Iguri glanced at the surrounding environment. He couldn't help laughing loudly after not discovering Beichuan Temple:

"I'm one step faster than Beichuan! Hahahaha!"

She laughed wildly, a twisted smile covering her otherwise relatively good face.

Everything was as she expected, Beichuan Temple had not arrived here yet, she was one step ahead of Beichuan Temple after all.

That's right.

It must be the earth spirits in the five trials that temporarily held Beichuan Temple back, right?

"Beichuan, your ability is indeed much stronger than I imagined, but even you have no chance to make a comeback now, right? The long-cherished wish of my Igumi family! Now it is all up to me, Igumi Naraku. "

Yihui Naraku's expression was half satisfied, but also half enthusiastic.

She pulled Yi Huiguang up and looked at the terrified expression on his face, with a rare hint of unbearable flash in her eyes.

Yihui Guang lives there, Yihui lives in emptiness.

These two girls are Yihui witches who she raised and raised.

In other words, her relationship with Yi Hui Guang Ju and Yi Hui Ju Xu was both a teacher and a parent.

And now, she is about to sacrifice a daughter with her own hands...

Yihuinaluo's palms trembled.

Is this... really worth it?

"..." Yihui Naluo turned his head wordlessly and looked at the tree of the gods.

If the delay continues, Beichuan Temple will probably be here soon.

We can't drag it out any longer.

Then there is only one thing to do.

Iginaru stretched out his hand.

Reaching for Yi Huiguang’s neck——

Bang! ! ! !

Iginaru's half-broken body was pushed back.

"Beichuan?" Iginairo, who finally stabilized himself in mid-air, widened his eyes in shock.

Beichuan Temple has always been there?

"Impossible, how could you be so fast...? And I should be in Juxu's body..." Yihui Naluo's complexion fluctuated violently, and the brilliance of his spiritual body became even darker.

"The imprint of surveillance has been removed." Kitagawaji answered Iginaru's question.

After hearing Beichuanji's words, Iginaru's violently fluctuating expression gradually calmed down:

"...Really? The mark has been removed."

she muttered.

This is indeed the style of Kitagawa Temple...

No...that's not right.

Yihuijuxu and Yihuiguangjuju have already communicated with Beichuan Temple from the beginning... They did not intend to become living sacrifices obediently from the beginning.

but--

"I know it all!"

A twisted smile flashed across Iginaru's face.

She simply stretched out her hand and pointed it at Yihuijuxu and Yihuiguangju!

"Beichuan, do you think I don't know about your secret communication? I actually know everything!"

As these words fell, the eyes of Yi Huiguang Zuju and Yi Hui Juxu gradually lost their luster.

At the same time, the two of them had turbid thoughts of the same nature as Iginaru's.

This is Ihu Naraku’s back-up plan!

Twenty years ago, she had completely learned her lesson after experiencing the betrayal of Yihui Shenzi.

Yi Huiguangju and Yihui Juxu, who were trained by her, had actually been left with more than one mark of her kindness.

Monitoring is one type, and the other type is action control!

This is an ability that she has hidden and never shown once during the more than ten years of training these two miko.

Therefore, it is impossible for Yi Huiguang Juju and Yi Hui Juxu to know about this matter.

Since Sister Yihui doesn't know, it's impossible for Beichuan Temple to know.

Iginaru finally felt like he was about to win back a victory over Kitagawaji.

But the next moment——

Good thoughts are extinguished.

A strong sense of death rose.

Yi Huiguang Ju and Yi Hui Juxu gradually regained their sanity.

"I have guessed it a long time ago...but in fact it is not the case." Beichuanji said calmly.

The death energy left behind by Beichuan Temple this time was purely for insurance purposes.

In fact, he had always been wary of Yi Hui Juxu and Yi Hui Guang Juju, and had imagined that these two people might be deceiving him.

Therefore, he left a death aura on these two people to guard against betrayal by these two people.

But who would have thought?

Kitagawa Temple just made a casual move, but it disintegrated the biggest back-up left by Iguri Naraku.

I can only say that timing, luck, and ability are all not on Iginaru's side.

After listening to all the explanations from Kitagawa Temple, Iginaru completely collapsed to the ground.

Her eyes were empty, her mouth was open, and she couldn't even make a sound.

This is too disappointing.

That was her last retreat just now.

But even this hand...

This is too unreasonable.

"Beichuan..."

Iginaru murmured this name, feeling only regret in her heart.

Taking Beichuanji with her was the biggest wrong decision she had ever made.

Iginaru gave up struggling completely.

There is no way.

Even if she turns into a resentful spirit due to her obsession, she still can't defeat Beichuan Temple.

Not to mention...as a resentful spirit, it is impossible to enter the God's Tree and turn all the islanders into heavenly beings.

But...

"No matter what...even if the transformation of the islanders into gods and humans cannot be achieved, the tree of the gods still needs a living sacrifice."

Iginaru said with despair.

The awakening of the God's Wood requires the pure blood of the miko and the spirit of the miko herself to enter the God's Wood.

Igiri Naraku's original plan was to use the blood of the Igiri miko to build a bridge between her and the God's Wood, and then replace the spirit body of the miko who was supposed to enter the God's Wood, and enter the God's Wood herself, in order to master the God's Wood.

But now that her spirit body is so weak, it is actually impossible to master the God's Tree.

She looked weakly at Yi Hui Guang Ju Ju and Yi Hui Ju Xu: "In other words, you will eventually have to choose one of Guang Ju Ju or Ju Xu as a living sacrifice... But with this method The sacrificial method... the chosen shrine maiden will also become a celestial being, and she won't even have a place to rest her spirit body."

This can be regarded as a win-win ending in a different sense.

One of Yihuiguangjuju and Yihuijuxu only lost his body, but he could still survive as a heavenly being on Yihui Island.

"...Let me do it." Yihui Juxu stood up.

She looked at Kitagawaji and Iginaru, then looked back at her sister:

"It is undoubtedly the safest thing for me to do it. Just because she is still young, she cannot bear the weight of the God-controlling tree."

What Yihui Juxu said is undoubtedly justified.

As she said.

Compared with Yi Huiguangju, she is older and has been a miko for a longer period of time. There is absolutely no problem in entrusting her with the task of awakening the God's Tree.

She walked towards the God's Tree step by step.

The weight of the Godly Tree...it's the weight of long-standing folk rituals that have been handed down...the weight that has been passed down from generation to generation on Ihui Island.

Yihui Juxu slowly walked among the many humanoids.

Then she took out a shiny dagger from her arms.

The dagger looked at her face.

above--

With a smile! ?

Under the eyes of Yihui Naluo and Yihui Guangju.

Yihui Juxu raised the dagger high and stabbed himself in the abdomen.

The ritual to awaken the God's Wood... is almost complete!

But the next moment——

The fierce death aura knocked away the dagger in her hand.

Even her body fell to the ground in disgrace.

This sudden change made everyone stunned.

Yi Huijuxu was also completely stunned.

The death aura was so powerful that her palms were sore and trembling.

"Master Beichuan?!"

She turned her head in confusion and looked at Beichuan Temple.

At this moment, Yi Huiguang was severely knocked to the ground by Beichuan Temple.

Beichuan Temple did not answer Yi Huijuxu's question, but took out the same dagger from Yihuiguangjuju's arms who fell on the ground with a calm expression.

As soon as he saw Beichuan Temple taking out another dagger from his sister's arms, Yi Huijuxu's face turned pale.

She stood up in a hurry, aiming her head at the huge God's Tree and trying to hit it!

The thread of death was pulled up again.

Her body was completely pulled by Beichuan Temple.

"when?!"

Yi Huijuxu's face was full of disbelief, and then he turned to look at Yihui Guangju.

The other party was the same as her. His body had long been wrapped in the death energy and he could not move.

Have you even considered where Guang lives?

She was horrified.

And just when her face was full of surprise, Beichuan Temple's cold tone sounded in Yihui Juxu's ears:

"I've said it before. To be wary of you two, I left a death aura on you."

Beichuanji pulled the death energy that had transformed between his fingers and asked with a particularly calm expression:

"When did you two have the idea of ​​'I have completely trusted you two'?"

Yes.

From the beginning, Beichuan Temple did not trust the people on Yihui Island.

Yi Hui Nai Luo... or Yi Hui Guang Zu Ju, Yi Hui Ju Xu, were just tools who brought him here... no, just guides.

The person who is truly worthy of trust should be——

Kitagawaji patted his collar and then the Kagura bell.

The little puppet jumped up and stood on Kitagawaji's head.

The radiance of the Kagura bell circulated, and the Kamizumi Makie wearing the costume of the twin shrine maidens who held the soul of the Kamizumi village also floated out.

They were the only ones he believed in.
