This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold - Chapter 124
Chapter 123 .Stone cave
Before Beichuan Temple stepped into the underground palace, the tide rushed towards him like waves.
He took a sip from the water bottle, turned his head and looked at Asamiya Eternally floating in the air, motioning her to open the way first.
After all, this is the secret place of the Asamiya family, and there may be some hidden mechanism in it.
Asamiya Yongshi obviously also understood the meaning of Beichuan Temple, she kept the posture of substance and fell, and the ebony clogs slammed on the floor tiles.
Seeing her walking down, Beichuan Temple also hung behind her, walking down step by step.
The two were silent for a long time without communicating. About halfway through the journey, Asamiya Yongshi suddenly stopped, a gleam of light flashed in his bright eyes:
“I can feel my memory reviving, Mr. Temple.”
“What do you remember?” Beichuan Temple asked.
“The ceremony held between the stones, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the important stones.” Asamiya Yongshi stepped forward again, and she explained as she walked:
“Every five years, Yao Shi must perform a’cleansing ceremony’.”
As he said, a self-deprecating smile appeared on Asamiya’s illusory face: “In fact, if the’cleansing ceremony’ is held or not will not affect the main stone. It’s just that the Asamiya family is purely used to improve the people’s support of Asamiya’s main family. The reverence of the ceremony and the enhancement of the family’s sense of honor for the group of “family”.”
“Well, isn’t it incredible for people in big cities like Sijun? He actually relied on the savage and **** gimmick of the victim to convince the people of this family.”
Beichuan Temple shook his head very understandingly.
“Able to understand.”
“Hey?” Asamiya Yongshi didn’t expect this, she paused for a while, and glanced at Beichuan Temple strangely.
Under her gaze, Kitagawa Temple’s face with lips pressed did not change in the slightest: “As you said, the original intention of Asamiya’s family is not to carry out a’cleansing ceremony’, but to make the ceremony sacred. They justified what they did and made Asamiya’s family more convinced.”
The voice of Beichuan Temple:
“But I still don’t quite understand, what exactly is the ‘cause Jin’ that the Asamiya family and God Zhu’s family have tried so hard to suppress?”
His eyes were so piercing that he could not help but retreat two steps back when he saw Ma Gong forever, Beichuan Temple continued: “Is Huo Jin just a literal disaster or a natural disaster? Or is it a terrible resentful spirit? I want to know all these things. Only by knowing these can we solve the problems of Asamiya-san.”
“Mamiya-san is referring to Hitomi, right?” Hearing the familiar name, Asamiya Nagai said in a tone: “I’ve vaguely seen from Hitomi before. You are her noble person, and I can vaguely feel that you should have broken the game. That point.”
Asamiya Yongshi shook his head and sighed: “I still remember your question about the concept of “Bad Jin” very clearly. Because this is something that the whole village knows, but basically it is rarely mentioned.”
“The so-called’Bad Jin’ is a calamity in more popular terms. It has been recorded since thousands of years ago.”
“According to the legend, the gods of disaster and Jin live in the gods in the mountains, and the people living in the gods villages are threatened by the’hidden world’. The villagers of the gods in the villages begin to be’hidden by the gods’ frequently, and people are quietly hidden. Pulled silently into the hidden world, even if I found it again, I was already confused and mad.”
Asamiya’s eyes narrowed, his voice lowered: “The people in the Shinto shrine regard this phenomenon as’Baojin’ which means’when disaster strikes’, and this phenomenon doesn’t happen even if you move away from the Shinju village. effect.”
“When the disaster comes silently, no matter where the villagers are, they will disappear inexplicably and lose contact with their families.”
“Fortunately, in the end, the Shinto Shrine proposed the concept of’ritual’, but in that era, the ceremony was still in the groping stage, but fortunately, the final ceremony was also useful. The phenomenon of’fortune’ was effectively alleviated. Let the gods stay in the village to this day.”
“The reason why God in the village keeps closing the village door is also for this reason. The rituals and disasters are not something that can be known to outsiders. As you can see later, the God in villagers have a high degree of discipline and organization. , Xenophobia.”
“Because that is a twisted folk custom that has been passed down from thousands of years.”
The distorted sense of xenophobia born from distorted folklore is very easy to understand.
Asamiya Yongshi’s memory of this aspect of Huojin is very clear, and there is no lag in the words he said.
The words that Asamiya Eternally said now may be the key to breaking the game in the future, and Beichuan Temple also secretly remembered these words in his heart.
One person, one ghost, one walk, one stop, and a lot of words scattered along the way.
What she said perfectly explained why the status of the Asamiya Family and the God Resident Family is so high.
A family of Asamong with financial resources and personal connections.
The home is a mysterious **** who presides over sacrifices.
It is not an exaggeration for the two families to say that they were the leaders of the gods in the village. In the Meiji and Taisho eras, they were truly similar to the leaders of the entire village.
While speaking, Asamiya Yongshi suddenly stopped and stopped leading the way.
A stone cave appeared in front of him.
“This is where the stone is located, Mr. Temple, my most extreme place is here. If I go further, I may not be able to maintain the balance of the soul and body.” Ma Gong Yongshi’s figure is even more illusory.
Just standing outside the underground palace where the important stones were stored, she couldn’t bear it.
Ma Gong Yongshi took a strong breath, flipped over his illusory and fuzzy palm, and a stone bottle appeared in his hand: “Please use this to present Shilu, Mr. Temple.”
“Good.” Beichuan Temple didn’t talk nonsense, and walked directly into it.
The more you enter the cave, the more you can feel a puff of moisture escaping from Beichuan Temple.
Poor Nishikujo suddenly crawled out of Beichuan Temple’s neckline after passing through this damp, and the golden air flow became thicker again.
It seems that Shi Lu not only has the effect of purifying the eternal life of Asamiya, but also beneficial to the pitiful Nishikujo.
It wasn’t until this time that Beichuan Temple had some belief in Ma Palace forever.
Because what is good for the good spirits can only be poison to the wraith spirits.
Regardless of any resentful spirits, in addition to the deadly spirit, good will most restrain them.
And Asamiya will always dare to drink this kind of thing that is no less than “poison” to her now
Beichuan Temple thought leaping into the underground palace.
The area inside the cave is much wider than it looks outside.
At least there is no big problem with fifty or sixty people standing in it, and it will not be crowded.
But Beichuan Temple didn’t care about such trivial matters.
He raised his head and looked at the boulder in front of him
“This is the stone?”
Beichuan Temple muttered to himself.
The height of the key stone in front of him is about the same as his height. The whole stone is spherical, the lower part is square, and the stone body is tied with a white bezel.
On the rock wall of the cave, there are still ropes hanging against the rock wall, winding around, showing an irregular circle.
This is like an altar of concentric circles, suppressing all the evil spirits below.
There are bonfire stands around the circular altar, and there are still damp charcoal inside. It can be seen that there have been acts of sacrifice before.
