Chapter 747: Ten Thousand Year Bamboo Forest and Moon Palace

The ruins of Matsuyama Castle in Iyo.

It has been almost a week since the incident caused by the Killing Pillar ended. It is not a very long time, but the changes in the ruins of Matsuyama Castle are very great.

First, the Live Fish Hotel absorbed all the energy of the Demon King's Hammer remaining here, and the vague outlines of the buildings in the ruins disappeared, turning this place into a bare wasteland.

Then about three days ago, there was a new situation at the ruins -

A bamboo forest grows with the suspended big bright moon as the center.

The growth rate of bamboo is very fast, and the bamboo forest in the ruins of Iyo grows even faster than normal.

In just three days, the bamboo here grew wildly and densely, with branches and leaves intertwined like a canopy, covering the sky.

Moreover, these bamboos are also special in appearance.

The whole body is dark green with the texture of jade, and it makes a crisp jade sound when knocked. It looks more like a carefully carved jade sculpture than a naturally grown plant.

Under the reflection of the huge moon hanging on the horizon, the entire bamboo forest is crystal clear, reflecting the emerald green light. And it is still growing at a very fast speed, intertwining with each other and extending to the sky.

"How is it, can you feel anything?"

Walking into the depths of the bamboo forest and arriving in front of the bright moon, Kamiyakawa asked Yaobali this question.

"Master Kamiya... that huge moon in the sky should be the Moon Palace."

After staying in Iyo for a while, the old raccoon cat's breathing became heavier.

Although Kamiya didn't have any special feelings about this, the air soaked in the pale moonlight seemed to be covered with thick mist to Yaobali.

In addition, there are two areas of lighter hair on the round belly of the raccoon. The hair in these two areas is roughly in the shape of "magatama", which seems to be a symbol of the Songshan raccoon tribe's worship of the Moon Palace, similar to a totem.

After entering the bamboo forest, the totem pattern on its abdomen began to glow slightly.

Yaobaibatanuki could feel that this was the call from the Moon Palace.

When he was being plotted against by the Killing Pillar before, he was attacked by the Killing Stone and had no time to care about too much.

But now that he has returned to Iyo, Yaoharikui can confirm that—

The huge moon in the sky must be the Moon Palace worshipped by the Songshan raccoon tribe.

"The Moon Palace you mentioned is the divine residence of Tsukuyomi, right?"

"Yes."

Yaobali gave an affirmative answer.

That seems about right.

The huge moon in the sky is the abode of Tsukuyomi, where the "Night Food Source" is located.

Previously, the Killing Pillar probably wanted to use the faith of the Moon Palace to be promoted to the Sky Fox God.

The big bright moon was activated by him, and the "Night Food Field" was inspired, appearing in Iyo and spreading the power of moonlight.

This power is then utilized by the Killing Pillar in combination with the Killing Stone.

And now, the fox failed in his attempt to become a god and died, but the Night Food Root still remains in the sky of Iyo.

It is not known whether his ritual was bound to lead to such consequences, or whether Kamiyagawa interrupted his ritual, causing this to happen.

Shen Gu thought for a moment, then asked: "What about the bamboo forest that suddenly appeared here?"

"Master Kamiya, these seem to be... ten thousand year old bamboos. Long ago, there was a legend among the raccoons in Songshan that the ten thousand year old bamboos would grow wildly towards the Moon Palace until they formed a bridge to the Moon Palace. These bamboos would carry the believers of the Moon Palace to the God's residence."

Yaobatanuki replied, not sounding entirely convinced.

After all, the story about "Ten Thousand Year Bamboo" is just a belief legend within the raccoon fox tribe.

The eight hundred and eight raccoons had never been seen before.

Even the Moon Palace appearing in the sky was seen for the first time.

I have absolutely no idea how the Killing Pillar made the Moon Palace appear in Iyo.

It's a bit embarrassing to say that although Yaobali has long regarded himself as the real leader of the "Moon Palace Faith", in terms of the current actual situation, the foreign fox of the Killing Pillar is much better at using the sacred object, the Great Bright Moon.

"You mean the ten thousand year old bamboo..."

Kamiya had heard of a monster called "Ten Thousand Year Bamboo".

It is said that this monster will make people who come to the bamboo forest lost.

When someone stays in a bamboo forest controlled by the thousand-year-old bamboo, this monster will use bamboo branches to cast spells and absorb the person's essence.

But this doesn't seem to be the same as what Yaobali said.

Also, there is a saying in Japan: "When an earthquake strikes, escape to the bamboo forest."

People say that the underground stems of bamboo are very strong, and if an earthquake occurs, you will be safe as long as you hide in a bamboo forest.

The thousand-year-old bamboo forest before us must have strong underground rhizomes, otherwise it would not be able to support the Polygonatum odoratum roots that reach straight into the sky.

Anyway, the current situation in Iyo is—

Although the Night Food Field in the sky is clearly visible visually, it is full of oppression.

But its actual location seems illusory.

Kamiya had previously asked Karasu Tengu to get as close as possible to the huge moon in the sky.

But no matter how high the god Tengu flew, he could not really reach the Moon Palace that seemed to be within reach.

This jade-carved thousand-year-old bamboo forest growing wildly on the ground is very special.

The crystal-clear, smooth dark green bamboos grew towards the sky, intertwining with each other. It felt to Kamiya Kawa that it was just like the legend Yaoba Tanuki had told him. With time, these bamboos would form a road connecting Iyo and Yono-no-Gourmet Plain.

Considering that both Takamagahara and Umi-no-Kuni are divine residences, they are "hidden" and cannot be reached by ordinary methods.

For the Night Food Plain, which is also the abode of gods, it would not be surprising if there really was a specific passage.

Yaohashi was unable to provide any more information about the situation in Iyo.

What will happen next may only be known after the Ten Thousand Year Bamboo Forest is truly connected to the Night Food Source.

In addition, the old raccoon cat did not seem to be very excited about the possibility that Tsukimiya would be connected to Iyo.

After all, the mere presence of the Moon Palace hanging over Iyo would drive these moon-worshipping raccoons and foxes crazy, and now they have no way to return home.

If the Night Food Source really comes, who knows what kind of trouble will happen again.

Xingbu Tanuki, who had long lost his fighting spirit, just wanted to live a peaceful and stable life in the future.

Everything that needed to be confirmed had been confirmed. Kamiyagawa instructed the little old man's body to keep a close eye on the situation in Iyo, and then returned with Yaobarikuni.

When walking out of the thousand-year-old bamboo forest, Shen Gu focused his eyes and looked back.

The pale moonlight penetrated the gaps between the bamboo leaves like a thin thread, falling to the ground to form a silver sea of ​​light, and reflecting the jade-carved bamboo forest above into a flowing green shadow.

"The moon... the bamboo forest... Kaguya-sama?"

Such a scene naturally made Kamiya, who had a comprehensive knowledge of mythology, think of the legend of Princess Kaguya.

It is said that Princess Kaguya was originally a goddess on the moon. She was exiled to the mortal world for an unknown crime and was born in a bamboo forest.

Then he was found by a kind bamboo cutter, who took him home and raised him to adulthood.

After experiencing a series of events in the human world, Princess Kaguya was eventually forcibly taken back to the abode of God by the messengers of God who descended from the moon.

"If I can enter the Night Food Field, will I see Kaguya-hime there? I don't know what the situation is like in the third divine abode now..."

Kamiya has no idea of ​​the answer to this question for now.

We can only wait until the thousand-year-old bamboo forest is truly connected to the Moon Palace and then see what happens.

……

As the thousand-year bamboo grows, the Moon Palace will be connected to Yiyo.

By then, Kamiyagawa will most likely go explore the last of the three noble gods’ residences, “Yoga no Gourmet Plain”.

Before this incident actually happened, all Kamiya did was to keep a close eye on Iyo's situation and continue to do what he had been doing all along -

Continuously enhance its own strength and that of the Kamiya Group.

He had previously defeated the Dark God Gami, and thanks to the assistance of the Eastern Crossers, he obtained the skeleton of the Cursed Dragon God.

The curse power carried by the Dark Yujiamei Skeleton is top-level among gods.

Kamiyagawa intends to use this good thing on Prajna.

In addition, when the Dragon God's skeleton appeared between the green willow's flesh and blood, a large amount of golden flesh and blood belonging to the Dragon God surged into the real battlefield.

None of the dragon god's flesh and blood was wasted; in the end it all went into the dog god's stomach.

And now, Anyu Jiamei's supplies have finally been digested by the dog.

The flower bell of the ordinary world is strange.

"dog God."

Following Kamiya's order, the temperature in the originally cold and eerie school suddenly rose, invisible heat waves rolled, burning the air and evaporating misty white smoke.

A pair of bright red eyes flickered out from the swirling smoke.

The dog god appears in response to his master's call.

The outline of the black monster gradually became clear in the smoke. It was huge, ferocious, and majestic.

When facing the Inugami who revealed his true identity, Kamiyagawa was not even as tall as its head, but the dog was still as docile as a real family dog.

"Woo——"

It crouched down, barking softly and nudging its owner with its soft nose.

Kamiya also touched the dog's nose and gently patted its chin and cheeks.

But as soon as I started, I felt something was wrong.

Maybe it had been a while since he had touched a dog, so although the difference in the feel was not too big, Kamiya Kawa could feel it.

He took a half step back and looked at the dog carefully again.

The long black fur was blown by the heat wave, and hot sparks jumped out of it. It was no different from before, still very handsome, but it seemed...

A little smoother than before?
This change is relatively subtle, so it doesn't seem to be caused by digesting the dragon god's flesh and blood. It's probably just some hair care.

After making this judgment, Kamiya quickly understood what was going on.

By the way, Gou Zi has been getting closer and closer to Song Lang recently.

The white fur of the little female wolf was very soft...

So maybe it takes care of it for the dog.

It seems that when Inugami and Solang are together, they are not just doing combat training.

"Good."

Kamiya smiled lovingly and patted Inugami's chin again with satisfaction.

However, the latter was somewhat confused and just tilted his head in confusion.

Kamiyakawa did not explain further and returned to the main topic: "Dog, are you ready?"

Upon hearing this, the Inugami excitedly wagged his tail and nodded.

So, Kamiya took out a section of winding spine from the [Mirage Bag]. On the pale skeleton, one could clearly feel the aura of dragons and snakes.

This is the bone that belonged to Ibuki Daimyojin.

It was obtained by Shuten-doji from his parents, but it was used as a trophy of the conquest of Mount Oe and is now used by Kamiya.

If you think about it this way, Kamiyagawa took away a lot of things from Oeyama.

In addition to Ibuki's skeleton, Kamiya also used one of Ibaraki Douji's arms very skillfully.

Even under the long-term essential oil training of the foot-selling old lady, the ghost hand has completely taken on the shape of Kamiya.

Uh, how should I put it...

Takama-ga-hara will remember Oeyama's dedication!
Today, the demon clan has become a reliable backbone of the Takama-ga-hara forces and is also one of our own.

Rational use of the ghost clan’s resources is internal resource optimization.

Of course, Kamiyagawa wouldn't just take from them.

When the power of the gods of the force becomes stronger, we can consider allocating some resources to Kinkuma, Hoshiguma, even Ibaraki, and Shuten who is still in snake form.

If Takama-ga-hara is revived in the future, the demons will definitely have a place in the divine residence.

Oeyama has contributed a lot to Kamiya's development, either actively or passively, and they will have to make up for it slowly later.

As for the current Ibuki divine bone, it will of course be used by Inugami first.

The Inugami has devoured and plundered the power of several dragon and snake gods, especially after it completely devoured Anyu Kami, the skeleton of the snake god Ibuki must be able to fit in with it.

Having plundered Anyu Jiamei's power and faith, Gou Zi is now in prime condition, just as Kamiya had planned. Now is the right time for him to be promoted.

According to the information we have learned before, Ibuki Daimyojin is a descendant of the Yamata no Orochi.

In Japan, Yamata no Orochi is a well-known god of disaster and evil.

Before he was killed by Susanoo, he fed on gods.

At the beginning, Susanoo was exiled from Takama-ga-hara and came to the underworld where he met Kitaida-hime, who later became Susanoo's wife.

At that time, Princess Kidada had a total of seven sisters, and except Princess Kidada, all the other sisters were eaten by the Yamata-no-Orochi.

But Kitadahime's family are not ordinary people, they are all Kunitsu gods walking in the underworld.

Originally, Princess Kiinada would also be offered as a sacrifice to the Yamata-no-Orochi, and Susanoo decided to defeat the serpent in order to save his future wife.

Let’s look at Inugami again, although he had a very humble origin.

At first, it was just a canine ghost with insignificant strength. It was only after Kamiya used the [Inugami Skull] that it completed its evolution and became a true "Inugami".

But it has followed Kamiya all the way to today, and relying on its innate characteristics, it can eat up not only the Kunitsu God, but also the Tianjin God.

The amount of flesh and blood that he ate should be no less than that of the Yamata no Orochi.

Absorbing the skeleton of the offspring of the great snake is not considered to be climbing high.
