Chapter 142. The Legend of Kagura Ring (10th)
Kitakawaji finally gave up collecting the fire.
At least it's not about making fire now.
The reason is very simple.
It is recorded in the documents of the Fire Order that the fire cannot be extinguished.
This sentence was repeatedly emphasized on the note three times, and even a fool could smell the unusual smell.
If the fire is set up and the suppressed Fujin suddenly breaks out, wouldn’t it be worth the loss?
As long as this mission is finished, Kitagawa Temple can still come back and take the fire into his pocket. He doesn't need to take such a big risk for something that will be his own.
Kitakawa Temple calmly suppressed the restlessness in her heart, searched everywhere but failed and then left the side hall where the fire was stored.
Looking from Changqiao, there were no other rooms around except the rooms that stored the fire.
But if you look from here to the direction of the shrine hall, you can see the building complex spreading backwards.
This entire shrine is like a water palace like Itsujima Shrine.
That should be the scene behind the other two wooden doors that he did not investigate.
After understanding this, Kitagawaji returned to the shrine hall and walked towards the second wooden door to the left.
After spending some effort to open it, the familiar Changqiao sewage view appeared in front of Kitakawa Temple.
Not far ahead of him was a standard shrine building, but it was much smaller than the storage hall where the fire was just now.
Kitakawaji walked forward without saying a word and opened the door.
The walls with red and black marks, the red columns, and the crunching wooden boards.
This room looks like the room where witches usually celebrate, filled with musical instruments such as shakuhachi and Taiko.
Next to another door, a Kagura bell wrapped in a red knot is also enshrined with a huge offering wall.
The red knotted rope is so weird that it makes people feel chilling.
Candlesticks are placed on both sides of the offering wall, and the candlelight is swaying slightly.
The whole room was unexpectedly clean. If the walls were not damaged and black everywhere, Kitagawaji would have thought this was an ordinary shrine room.
Kitagawa Temple held a flashlight and glanced around, finally staying on the Kagura bell who was dedicated to the main seat.
There was a black resentment on it that was emitting.
There are many Kagura bells in this room, but this one is specially dedicated to this place.
Kitagawaji stretched his hand towards Kagura Ling.
At that moment, some memory seemed to flow into his mind.
Kitakawaji stood in a strange scene.
This scene is a certain underground palace with a low ceiling, giving people a sense of depression. A long blood-stained table is placed in the center of the underground palace. A young man wearing a kimono with a hideous face and round eyes is tied to the long table with chains.
Under him, the blood had solidified for a long time, and mosquitoes lingered in his blue-white skin.
Judging from this, the young man has been dead for a long time.
At this time, a crisp sound of unlocking sounded in the quiet underground palace.
A woman wearing a red and white witch costume holding a Kagura bell pushed open the door and ran in quickly.
The witch has long hair and a gentle face.
But this gentleness turned into horror and sadness when I saw the young man who had lost his voice on the long table.
She covered her mouth tightly, and tears slid from her eyes.
But even so, she still didn't dare to make a sound.
It seems that as long as there is a big movement, someone will know it.
The witch pounced on the young man, and the stinking corpse was passed through Maiyi, but she held the young man's sleeve tightly and refused to let go.
She was in pain and sobbing in a low voice.
After a while, the painful witch whispered in a low voice:
"Shenzhu Mountain is the closest place to Huangquan."
"Death is also another kind of survival."
"Waiting for me, Zhi."
Kitagawaji stood quietly behind her, watching her next move.
The witch took out a short knife from her arms tremblingly.
Looking at the smooth blade face, and then looking at the young man who was dying on the table, the witch's trembling movement stopped. She put down the Kagura bell with a devout look, and put the short knife on the smooth neck like a ceremony.
Use force on your wrist!
The entire blade face was penetrated into the neck and was cut into half.
Puff
The blood instantly poured out.
The witch's white palm dragged the knife and hung down weakly. She half lay beside the table and her mouth moved.
"Ahhhhhh"
But the broken vocal cords were not enough to support her to speak.
The blood dyed the witch's robe red, and the knot that symbolized purity was dyed red.
From the perspective of Kitagawaji Temple, the dead witch's eyes were staring at him without blinking.
Watching him deeply.
Kitagawa Temple turned his life and pulled back his consciousness from his memory.
He looked at the Kagura Ring in his hand thoughtfully.
That was probably the memory of the witch before her death.
All the strong resentment was hosted on this Kagura bell, causing those who touch it to be pulled into that illusion.
Kitakawa Temple subconsciously swept to the offering wall again.
There is also a wooden box with charming flowers under the Kagura bell.
Kitakawaji took the wooden box over and opened it.
There are documents wrapped in thin ropes.
‘Wedding ceremony, legend about Kagura Ling.’
‘A young man who passed the wedding ceremony fell in love with the witch who was the gods who stayed in his family.’
‘In order to maintain my bloodline, I caught the young man and brought him into the underground palace and killed him, but the witches who were inhabited by my gods all had certain inspirational abilities.’
‘The witch of the God-Resident discovered this through her inspirational ability. In an important ceremony, she secretly got the key to the underground palace while everyone was not there, and then committed suicide with a short knife in the underground palace.’
‘When they arrived, there were only Kagura Ring, dyed with blood, and the eyes of the witches who were watching the family.’
‘The few people who found the body soon died of crazy due to various reasons. It is said that as long as they touched this Kagura bell, they would be tempted by the witch and commit suicide in the same way.’
‘Therefore it is placed in the ritual vessel for enshrining it, and purifying it for the witches, and at the same time, any witches are forbidden to touch it.’
"The Legend of Kagura Ring."
Kitagawaji held the Kagura bell and murmured to himself.
No wonder the knot of this Kagura bell is so red.
How can one not have such a suffocating beauty when dyed red with human blood?
Just as Kitagawaji was thinking, the Kagura bell in his hand suddenly rang in a hurry!
This is a very strange thing.
Because Kitagawa Temple did not shake the Kagura bell at all!
Kitagawaji moved his hand, attached a layer of death energy to the Kagura Ling, and simply threw it behind him.
With a bang, Kagura Ling hit the woman holding a short knife and wearing a black witch robe.
