This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

The reason why Kitagawa Temple felt that Onodera was not very powerful was because he compared the kindness in the other person with the death energy in his own body.

The result is also obvious. The kind thoughts lingering in Onodera's body are at most similar to Master Haneda's. Beichuan Temple can basically extinguish the good intentions in the other party as soon as he spreads his lifeless energy.

However, considering that Onodera and Master Haneda also have spiritual tools and spells on them, combat power cannot only be based on the total amount of good thoughts.

While thinking at Beichuan Temple, Master Haneda's tone on the side barely calmed down:

"Master Onodera actually doesn't need to worry about it. Although Master Beichuan is surrounded by horrific signs of death, he can survive to this day without incident. This also illustrates Master Beichuan's ability."

What Master Haneda said is indeed reasonable.

Master Onodera nodded, and his shocked expression calmed down.

If Beichuan Temple didn't have any special means, how could it survive this intense and extreme death aspect?

"Sorry, Master Beichuan, I lost my temper just now."

Master Onodera stepped forward, stretched out his hand and shook Beichuanji's hand.

He simply shook his hand, and immediately let go after holding it, as if he was afraid that the evil spirit of death on Kitagawaji's body would be transmitted to himself.

Faced with Onodera's reaction, Kitagawadera acted calmly. He simply said: "Nice to meet you."

Then he sat down next to Master Haneda and poured a cup of tea by himself.

To be honest, Beichuan Temple was quite disappointed in his heart.

After all, Master Onoji seemed like an ordinary monk, but he would show such a shocked expression just when he saw him, and he couldn't control his emotions at all.

Such an uncool person would be a little unsafe no matter how he thinks about exorcising evil spirits.

Taking into account the psychological factors, Kitagawa Temple also naturally concluded that "he is indeed stronger than the opponent".

However, he also felt that he should not overestimate his abilities.

So he added a paragraph after the conclusion that "I am better than Master Onodera"——

The final conclusion reached is also very simple.

‘I am a little better than Master Onodera. ’

A little bit of this is variable and depends on how Master Onodera performs afterward.

We waited until we were seated at Beichuan Temple and finished our tea. Master Onodera on the side also turned his head and looked directly at Master Haneda:

"Now that Master Beichuan has arrived, the only one left is the witch invited by the Sifang family, right?"

"Yes." Master Haneda groaned, and then said thoughtfully: "It seems the time is almost up."

It is already six o'clock in the afternoon. Master Haneda notified the gathering news an hour ago. There is a full hour of preparation time, which should be enough no matter how you think about it.

But it is not a problem to continue sitting like this. After all, Master Haneda and Master Onodera in front of him are not acquaintances, and Kitagawaji on the other side does not like to talk.

Thinking of this, Master Haneda also took out his mobile phone:

"Let me call and ask."

And just as Master Haneda finished speaking, Beichuanji, who was sitting quietly, also looked at the paper door next to him with awareness.

There was the sound of human footsteps outside.

With the crisp sound of the door opening, a tall young woman wearing a witch costume appeared in front of Kitagawa Temple and Master Haneda.

"Is this...?" Master Haneda opened his eyes wide, and his expression changed a lot.

This was not because the miko who walked in through the door was so beautiful, but because the miko uniform she wore was a bit deviant compared to the usual red and white miko uniforms.

Her upper body was wearing a white dress with long sleeves, which was the same as an ordinary miko's uniform, and there was not much difference.

If you insist on finding a difference, then it is probably that the white clothes the other party is wearing have a light yellow full moon pattern on the left and right shoulders.

Then look down.

From now on, there will be a clear difference.

The hakama skirt worn by young women is not the scarlet scarlet hakama skirt worn by traditional miko.

Her lower skirt has five colors from left to right: green, yellow, white, vermilion, and blue.

Among them, the moon-white hakama skirt is located in the middle, which is also dotted with light yellow and shining moon phases.

New moon, first quarter moon, full moon, last quarter moon, new moon.

Black, half yellow, full yellow, half yellow, black.

This miko costume is constructed based on the five phases of the moon.

The witch's hands are respectfully holding a magical mirror.

There was a colorful halo of light flashing on the mirror surface, and it was impossible to see what kind of content was reflected inside.

Beichuan Temple's expression moved slightly, and he asked in a calm tone:

"Tsukiyomi fate...?"

Kitagawaji's question drew the attention of Onodera and Master Haneda again, and also attracted the attention of the shrine maiden who opened the Japanese paper door.

If anything, it was actually not the miko lady who opened the paper door.

After all, the opponent's hands were all used to hold the magic mirror, and there were no extra hands to open the paper door.

The miko was followed by two bodyguards, and it was the two bodyguards who opened the paper door of the private room.

"I wonder who this gentleman is...?" The witch raised her head curiously and asked in an unusually ethereal tone.

Before Beichuanji could answer, Master Haneda on the other side hurriedly stood up to help and replied: "This is Beichuanji, Master Beichuan."

His anxious reply made Beichuan Temple raise his eyebrows.

It always felt like Master Haneda was afraid that he would offend the miko in front of him by speaking.

"...Oh?" The witch holding the magic mirror's eyes flickered, and after a while she felt surprised and said: "A person with such a terrible sign of death can actually escape from death many times... This is really... .Sorry, I was a little rude."

She slowly walked to the tea table in the elegant room, then took two steps back, knelt down, and introduced herself: "My name is Shifang Kaguya. As the Master Beichuan said, the god I worship is It’s Tsukiyomi Mingzun...but it’s slightly different from the Tsukiyomi Mingzun that everyone here is familiar with.”

When Shifang Kaguya said these words, her tone was calm, and her expression showed a hint of calmness.

The so-called Tsukiyomi no Ming is actually one of the three major gods enshrined in Japanese Shintoism. It is a god related to the moon and night.

In fact, Master Haneda and Master Onodera also knew this common sense issue, but they just didn't react as quickly as Kitagawa Temple did.

After coming back to their senses at this time, Master Haneda and Master Onodera also returned to their usual shrewdness. Their expressions moved slightly, and then they asked:

"Kaguya Shigata...wait a moment...Miko Kaguya, are you from the Shigata family?"

"Yes. I am the daughter of the current head of the Sifang family." Sifang Kaguya replied friendly.

The daughter of the Sifang Patriarch?

Master Onodera discovered the importance of the matter.

He looked at Kaguya Shigata and asked in an uncertain tone: "Is it possible that Miss Kaguya... you are one of the people who went to the Shigata Family Shrine with us?"

"That's right." Kaguya Sifang nodded, confirming Master Onodera's guess.

This time, Master Haneda and Master Onodera's hearts exploded.

The daughter of the head of the Sifang family... wants to go with them to restart the shrine?

This is too...

"Don't worry, everyone. Although this explanation may be inappropriate, my ability as a miko is quite outstanding. I can deal with ordinary ghosts and I will never hold you back."

Shifang Kaguya seemed to understand the concerns of Master Haneda and Master Onodera, and spoke to comfort them.

While Shifang Kaguya comforted Master Haneda and Master Onodera, Kitagawa Temple was silent and thinking.

Kaguya Sifang...

The name Kaguya also comes from Japanese legends. And this story and legend is very famous even in China.

Its name is "The Tale of Bamboo".

And the name "Kaguya" is exactly the name of the protagonist "Kaguya of the Young Bamboo".

The whole Monogatari story actually has no telling, and many people know this story.

If I insist on writing it all, I will undoubtedly be suspicious of the word count. Here I will point out the point that Kitagawaji is most concerned about——

In "The Tale of Bamboo", Princess Kaguya is actually the goddess in the Moon Palace.

The god Shifang Kaguya believes in is Tsukiyomi Mingzun, who is related to the moon, and her name is taken from the goddess Kaguya...

Is there any secret hidden in it?

Kitagawa Temple thought of this, but he did not explain it directly. Instead, he calmly observed Shifang Kaguya, hoping to see something from this miko.

"Excuse me, does Master Beichuan have any questions?"

After Kaguya Shifang comforted Master Haneda and Master Onodera, she turned to look at Beichuan Temple with a smile and asked.

Her complexion is fair and pink, her eyes are calm and soft, and although her tone is a bit ethereal and inhumane, overall she is still a beautiful girl.

Coupled with the fact that she is wearing a simple and elegant miko costume, she really seems to have the feeling of looking at the moon and feeling sad for Princess Kaguya.

but--

It's not as good as Kamiya Mirai.

But I don't know if it was an illusion, but Kitagawa Temple always felt that Kaguya Shifang looked at him with a somewhat eager look.

But when Kitagawa Temple looked carefully, he found that Kaguya Shifang's expression had not changed much, it was still the same.

illusion?

Beichuan Temple temporarily put these thoughts in his mind back and replied: "I don't have many questions about you traveling with us, but I have something to ask about the Sifang Altar."

Yes.

Now Beichuan Temple and the others don't even know the specific location of the Sifang Shrine of the Sifang family, let alone the conditions inside.

In this situation where you don’t know anything about anything, talking about ‘comrades’... these are just simple jokes.

After Shifang Kaguya turned her head to listen to Beichuanji's words, she then put the magic mirror back between her legs where she was sitting: "What Master Beichuan wants to ask about is probably the specific condition of the Shifang Shrine."

Her expression became a little serious, and the smile at the corner of her mouth faded quietly.

"I have told you all these things originally. Now that Master Beichuan has asked about it, I will share the information with you."

Shifang Kaguya sat upright, with her back straight and began to explain:

"The Sifang Shrine, those are four different shrines that belong to our Sifang family shrine and have been passed down from generation to generation."

She stretched out her finger and looked slightly condensed: "The Four Directions Altar is mainly divided into the New Moon Altar, the Upper Xian Altar, the Moon Watching Altar, and the Lower Xian Altar. They are distinguished according to several standard moon phases, which correspond to the names of our families. 'Four Squares'."

Having said this, Sifang Kaguya took a breath and continued to explain:

"You are already very outstanding mages in the industry. You must know that some long-standing families that have been passed down from generation to generation will adopt various 'means' to deal with the 'threats' hidden in the dark, right?"

She emphasized the words 'threat' and 'means'.

But to be honest, Master Haneda and Master Onodera have basically never seen the kind of large family she mentioned. They only found a few pieces of information in some ancient books in their own temple.

It was originally half-toned, so Master Haneda and Master Onodera wisely did not speak.

After all, it would be embarrassing if he made a random guess about something he had never seen before, and it would be embarrassing in the end.

While they were silent, Beichuanji, who was silent next to him, raised his eyebrows and said curiously: "You mean...'Yellow Spring'?"

Yes.

Using ancient rituals, cruel methods such as life sacrifice, blood injection, and human pillars to suppress the threats hidden in the dark is exactly the way to deal with the "Yellow Spring".

Shenzhu Village is located in Quanyuan. This village is undoubtedly the closest place to Huangquan. The method used by the gods in the village is to cultivate soul-suppressing twins and soul-attracting flowers to suppress the "Quanyuan" and stop the "ghost of trouble".

Yihui Island is located at the 'Gate of Underworld', and the soul nature of the islanders on the entire island has been infected by the aura of underworld. For this reason, they thought of using 'sacred trees' and 'earth spirits' to resist the gate of underworld. monster.

These are some specific ways for some ancient families to deal with the 'threats' in the dark.

And this time... Kaguya Shifang mentioned this familiar concept again, which surprised Kitagawaji.

Is it possible that this mission... involves 'Underworld' again?

Shifang Kaguya obviously didn't expect Beichuan Temple to be able to answer.

Her rhetoric was just social rhetoric from the beginning.

After all, in modern society, those who have seen the "underworld" and are involved with it will not end up too decently.

Missing arms and legs is quite normal.

But the Beichuan Temple in front of me...

Kaguya Shifang glanced at each other one more time.

Delicate and cold facial features, silent character, cold speech...

And just looking at his age, he should be no more than twenty years old.

It was already a very rare thing for such a person to appear on such an occasion, and being able to answer his own question made Kaguya Sifang's heart skip a beat.

He... maybe he really can?
