Chapter 78: Just Down the Hill
Fushimi Inari Taisha, Chimoto Tori.
Torii is an extremely common building in Yingzhou Shinto. It is the intersection between the divine realm and the secular world, representing the entrance and barrier of the divine realm.
Thousand torii stretches for several kilometers, spanning several hills, and at least tens of thousands.
After the wind, sun and rain, some of these torii have decayed and faded, while others are still bright and beautiful. They are mixed with each other, crisscrossing, and look particularly spectacular and charming under the sunlight.
Hundreds of vermilion torii form a passage to the top of Mount Inari.
The white-bearded and stumbled, walking on this passage with a crutch.
Beside him, two little girls with fox faces but wearing kimono, followed him, while walking, he gestured hard, and didn't know what they were saying.
"I know, I know!" The great priest Tsukamoto smiled and said, "I know that your senses are sensitive and you can sense the breath of Shangjing District incorrectly..."
"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" The two fox-faced babies waved their hands anxiously.
"Don't worry! Don't worry!"
The great priest Tsukamoto stroked his white beard: "Tang Zeqianjun from Gouxuan Pavilion in Shangjing District is in charge, it will be fine! Even if the filthy land is broken, the ghost gate is opened, and monsters are in chaos... it doesn't matter! What? Don't believe me? Then I'll take you to the top of Inari Mountain to see..."
"Ahhhhh! It's silly!!" Two fox-faced dolls led the Grand Priest Tsukamoto on the left and right, and quickly ran to the top of the mountain.
"Ouch! Ouch! You guys are slow! I'm so old, how can I withstand such torture? Before I reach the top of the mountain, I'll die halfway!"
...
On the pagoda of Hieiyama Temple.
"Ghost Gate Butcher" Ishida Ichiro and a middle-aged monk were looking into the direction of Kyoto. Looking at the thick ghost fog, his face became very serious.
As the great Onmyoji who has been suppressing and sealing the ghost gates in various places for many years, he is extremely sensitive to ghost fog and can almost tell at a glance that Kyoto must have opened the ghost gate!
Once the ghost gate is formed and thousands of ghost spirits are snatching the gate, I don’t know how many innocent people will die in the Kyoto urban area.
The middle-aged monk sighed and recited the Buddha's name and said, "Amitabha! Kyoto is in crisis, Mr. Ishida should set off as soon as possible to rush back. If there is a terrifying scene of hundreds of ghosts walking at night and thousands of ghosts eating souls, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the rest of my life..."
Ishida Ichiro hesitated for a moment, shook his head decisively and said, "I won't go back! Although there is a Ghost Gate in Kyoto, there is also a Ghost Gate in Hiei Mountain! Who can guarantee that the Ghost Gate in Kyoto is not the monsters who are using tricks? What if they try to lure the tiger away from the mountain and attack the east and west, what if I come to destroy the seal here after I leave Hiei Mountain?"
The middle-aged monk pondered: "Of course there is this possibility! But if I am a monk leading the monks in the temple, I can always resist those monsters for some time! Even if I can't stop it, Hiei Mountain is located in a wilderness, with few people, and the casualties will not be too heavy; but there are millions of innocent people in Kyoto. It is more important to weigh the two. Mr. Ishida should rush back as soon as possible..."
Ishida Ichiro's pupils were tightening, and his eyes were flashing cold, but he refused firmly, "No need! Kyoto is indeed important, millions of innocent people are also important, but Kyoto is Kyoto after all, and I am not the only one among Kyoto! At least four or five masters who are equal to my strength are in Kyoto to protect the people! Moreover... As far as I know, the owner of Kyoto Gougen Pavilion is a god walking on earth. With him, the only ghost gate breaks the ban, the monsters are the most chaotic, and it is not harmful at all, and it cannot be achieved in any climate!"
"The god walking on the earth?" The middle-aged monk looked at him in surprise. If he hadn't known Ishida Ichiro's character well, he would have thought this old man was crazy: since the separation of gods and Buddhas during the Meiji period, most of the gods have been deprived, and only a small number of gods are left - such as Uka's Soul-kun God, still enjoying the sacrifices of the shrine.
Where are there any gods walking on earth in this world?
...
Gouxuan Pavilion.
The leopard cat made a big fuss in the backyard, causing chaos.
"Xun" was so angry that he almost fought against it.
Fortunately, "Bai Ling" had experience feeding pet cats, and contributed all the dried deep-sea fish that he had worked hard to roast and gave it to the leopard cat.
After eating and drinking, the leopard cat felt that it had received enough respect in its territory, so it took a proud step, sticking its farts, and finding a place to lick the wound.
While people were not paying attention, it quietly penetrated into the rockery and disappeared.
"Bai Ling" also had a lot of food.
——I don’t know if it’s because the fish I roasted myself tastes very fragrant!
"Shuang" but didn't eat a bite.
Although the grilled fish smells very fragrant and seems very tempting... the ghost Yazi, but... what a joke, when has she eaten something cooked in the past nine hundred years?
Doesn’t “life” taste delicious?
She looked at the "Bai Ling" who was already overeating but still caught a dried fish in one hand, and couldn't help asking curiously: "At this moment, is what you reveal your true nature or the other personality you pretend to be?"
"Bai Ling" had a bulging gill, and she looked very cute. She swallowed some fish with some difficulty, and then said: "Obasan, why do you care about so much? You like to meddle in other people's business so much, and you can live for so long. Obasan, you are really lucky!"
——This little bitch is really good at spitting out fragrance!
"Xun" was almost so angry that he ran away all over the ground. He could hardly help summoning the Qingxing Lantern barrier, and then shouted: If there is a way in heaven, you won't go, but you won't go to the filthy land, but you will come to join...
However, at this moment, two extremely amazing broken air suddenly came from outside. One of them was even more amazing than the great Onmyoji Ishida Ichiro who captured her. He was definitely a master among the masters.
"Xun" seemed to be poured with cold water on his head, and he did not dare to be arrogant, and carefully restrained the breath on his body.
During the time in Gouxuan Pavilion, she had figured out a question: Tang Zeqian, a powerful man in the near god, may have not killed her for some special reason or a special hobby. However, this does not mean that other top experts in Kyoto will not kill her like Tang Zeqian.
Therefore, once you encounter a master who cannot win, it is better to be cautious.
"Bai Ling" took this scene seriously and showed a hint of sarcasm: "Obasan is also very good at sloppy and donkeys, changing his mind when he sees the wind, acting on the camera!!"
(PS: The new week has begun. I want to start asking for votes and comments. To be honest, although I know you are the handsomest group of readers in Qidian, if you don’t vote for me, who can know that you are so handsome?
Although I also know that you are the most talented veteran drivers, jokesters, and literary masters in Qidian... Being talent is different from being pregnant! You will become pregnant after a long time of pregnancy, but you won’t be pregnant!!
If you don’t write chapters and comments, you won’t show your silly… Bah, if you don’t show your talent, how can you see your talent?)
Chapter completed!
