Chapter 759 Golden Torii
Eternal life.

Aokihara Mine.

This is the most important spiritual metal material production point under the control of the Takama-ga-hara forces.

Clang, clang, clang.

The sound of metal hitting rock continued to echo in the long and deep mine tunnel.

Shikijiro and his men were working hard in the mine.

Among the Takama-ga-hara forces, Shikijiro and his ilk are among the best paid grassroots workers due to the special nature of their work.

After all, in the mine, only this kind of weird talk can be engaged in mining production.

Moreover, Shikijiro and his men are very skilled in mining.

The mine tunnel they dug is not at risk of landslide even though it leads deep underground.

Therefore, the leader Kamiya Gawa never hesitates to invest in the salaries of Shikijiro and others for the soul-restoring candles.

Those newly "recruited" into the force were originally ragged, skinny, and dull-looking, just like a bunch of emaciated mummies.

But through exchanging labor for remuneration and with the continuous nourishment of the soul-soothing candles, as their strength increased, they became stronger and stronger, and even worked more enthusiastically.

As for the 24-member Shikijiro team that was the first to be "directly hired by the Boss" by Kamiyagawa, there is no need to say more.

As old employees, not only have each of them grown into a big, sturdy and eye-catching guy, but they also have spiritual awareness.

There are quite a few who have had their limbs reattached through the "Flesh and Blood Project", and most of them have become small leaders in the miners' team. In addition to earning the Requiem Candles, they can also get a lot of Soul Crystals and currency if they work hard, which is enough to support the consumption of luxury goods such as food and drinks in the Paradise Market.

Today, thanks to the efforts of Shikijiro and others, the Aokihara mine has been mined to a deep depth.

The long and deep tunnels extend in all directions. There is a wall-mounted oil lamp hanging on the rock wall every few steps, but even so, the light underground is still dim.

Shikijiro and his colleagues didn't have many complaints about this working environment.

As ghosts who have lived underground for a long time, their vision can adapt to the darkness.

However, Kamiyagawa and Isohime have been planning how to improve the working environment at the Aokigahara Mine.

For example, installing electric lights in the mine tunnels.

Kamiya had previously captured a considerable number of electronic ghosts, and with some territorial areas equipped with modern facilities, it was basically feasible to build a power plant driven by ghosts.

The laying of electricity and the access to Aokigahara are huge projects that cannot be completed in one go.

At the deepest part of the Aokihara Mine.

Shikijiro Niju, the leader of the miners and a model worker at Takamagahara, is mining ore with his usual enthusiasm.

There was a lantern at his feet, and his four strong arms each held a handful of mining drafts, smashing the rock wall in front of him that was slightly gleaming with silver luster, causing sparks to fly.

"Keep digging, keep digging... until you find more shiny stones..."

As the mine continues to go deeper underground, the quality of the ore that can be mined gradually increases.

Tin, iron and copper among the spiritual hardware are no longer rare. Even the output of these two materials, heavenly silver and ebony gold, in the Qingmu original mine has increased a lot.

What Shikijiro Twenty is digging now is a newly discovered vein of sky silver.

The ability to find this mineral vein deep underground in Aokigahara with relatively little effort was thanks to a magical tool:

【Dowsing Needle】

This was the reward Kamiyagawa received from the Omashiki mission after Koro and Tsurumi defeated the Omashiki and defeated the "Glass in the Painting".

In appearance, it looks like an ancient compass.

The specific effect is that it can assist in finding mineral veins.

Kamiya did not keep this thing in his own hands, but handed it over to Shikijiro Twenty.

The current situation is that the ownership of the [Dowsing Needle] belongs to Takama-ga-hara, but Shikijiro has the right to use it freely.

The loyal and simple-minded captain of the mining team never thinks too much. He only believes from the bottom of his heart that being able to use the convenient magical prop [Dowsing Needle] is a manifestation of Lord Kamiya's respect for him.

In fact, this idea is correct.

Dangdang! Dangdang!
Thinking of the venerable Lord Kamiya, Shikijiro swung his pickaxe a little more vigorously.

As he moved, several more pieces of skysilver ore fell onto the slightly damp ground in the mine, making dull impact sounds.

Shikijiro collected the silver ore and loaded it onto the mine cart, then paused for a moment.

An arm reached to his waist and took out the [Dowsing Needle] from a small cloth bag.

The ancient compass glowed faintly under the light of the oil lamp.

The pointer deflected extremely quickly.

Shikijiro has been using the [Dowsing Needle] for quite some time and has already mastered how to use the item.

This compass does not point the way.

The direction the pointer points to only indicates where the mineral deposit is.

The greater the deflection of the pointer, the higher the quality of the found mineral deposit, and the closer the current location is to the found mineral deposit.

"It seems... it's spinning very violently..."

Shikijiro 20 muttered to himself, and a hint of joy appeared on his face, which was as dark as steel.

Looks like I found something good.

The Qingmu Mine can currently produce four types of "spiritual metals" including Tianyin Mine, but the highest-grade gold mine has never been found underground.

Now the [Dowsing Needle] is reacting violently, maybe we have found "Gen Gold"?
Shikijiro held the ancient compass in one hand and the pickaxes in the other three arms, carefully identifying the location in the long tunnel.

After finding the indicated direction, he swung the pickaxe in his hand vigorously again.

Dangdang! Dangdang!
The solid rock was chiseled away effortlessly.

This went on for about half an hour.

Shikijiro Twenty, who had extensive experience in mining, noticed that the feel of the pickaxe in his hand was vaguely wrong.

clang!
Another pickaxe was swung down.

Several rocks collapsed into the rock wall.

A narrow gap appeared on the rock wall in front of Shikijiro Twenty.

And the pointer of the [Dowsing Needle] is pointing here.

After intuitively assessing that the structure of the mine would not collapse, Shikijiro tried to chisel open the gap.

After a few pickaxes, he smelled an extremely old and ancient scent coming towards him.

The smell seemed to have been frozen for hundreds of years, and as the rocks fell, the dust slowly floated away, and it was indescribably stale, sharp, and pungent.

squeak-

Shikijiro raised the lantern that was at his feet.

Before him was an endless abyss of darkness that suddenly opened up. The light from the lantern was not enough to dispel the thick darkness and could only powerlessly lick its surface.

"That is……"

But with his eyesight adapted to underground work, after a while of relaxation, Shikijiro Twenty still vaguely saw what was under the black abyss he had found -

It was a pre-existing cave passage.

It is not known whether it was artificially mined or formed naturally.

At the end of the mine, Shikijiro Twenty saw the outline of a heavy golden building.

That is, Torii.

A huge golden torii gate is blocking the end of the tunnel below.

The Torii gate, which represents the power of the gods, is deeply embedded in the ground of the Aokihara Mine, reflecting a strange golden light. As for what is in the darkness after passing through the Torii gate, it is completely invisible.

Shikijiro stood there in a daze.

He didn't know what he had dug up, but he felt that deep underground, there seemed to be some terrifying power that made his soul tremble.

Looking at the [Dowsing Needle] in his hand, it first pointed to the golden Torii.

Then it began to spin in an almost crazy and disorderly manner.

The compass vibrated violently and was almost about to slip out of my hand.

"Brother... did you find the gold...?"

Another big miner who worked with him, Shikijiro Jujuba, saw the big brother standing still, raised his three strong arms and came closer curiously.

But before he could get close to the newly dug hole, "Shikijiro Twenty" grabbed him by the back of his clothes with great force, and he could not move.

Although the leader of the miners was simple-minded, he was the first one among Takamahara Shikijiro to become wise. He always kept in mind the most important safety rules for going down to the mines -

Once any abnormality is discovered, report it to your superiors immediately.

Shikijiro clenched his [Dowsing Needle] tightly and pulled his little brother back:
"Something's not right... Let's get everyone out of the mine... Let's go find Isohime-sama... Find Kamiya-sama..."

……

Eternal life.

Tzu Chi Hospital.

Kamiyagawa took some time out today to come here and visit Takiyashahime who is still rebuilding her body.

There are quite a few opposite sexes in various places in Changshi who are trapped in specific places for various reasons and require him to flip through the signs from time to time to visit them and keep in touch with them.

This is also an important part of the work of the young leader of ghosts and gods.

squeak-

In the abandoned operating room in the center of the hospital, the door covered with thick scarlet flesh was pushed open by Kamiyagawa from the outside.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the princess who was staying in the operating room shuddered subconsciously.

But when she saw who it was, her expression relaxed a little.

"Really? Could you at least knock on the door and say hello? I thought it was the old lady selling feet again." Taki said with some anger.

The foot-selling old lady didn't stay in Ciji Guixiao School all the time.

Her position in the Takama-ga-hara forces is equivalent to that of a flesh and blood doctor.

Compared with Prajna who has mastered the properties of "medicine", the foot-selling old woman's "I'm thinking" method of healing flesh and blood seems unique.

Prajna usually does not operate within the faction.

Therefore, the foot-selling grandmother occasionally has to do some treatment work for the various strange stories within the faction.

For her, it is also another kind of clinical trial.

Kamiya looked at Takihime and spread his hands: "Are you so afraid of her?"

Compared to the original state where only a beautiful head was left, her physical condition has improved.

It should be considered... improving.

The number of black curse lines extending from her neck had obviously increased a lot, like a small shrub with lush branches and leaves.

And within the black lines of the “bush branches”, you can see a healthy beating bright red heart.

Takiji bit her neat silver teeth and said, "I have disliked doctors since I was very young!"

"It's not good to avoid seeing a doctor."

Kamiya just laughed.

It’s quite interesting that this princess also has something she is afraid of.

"Hmph...Okay, I admit that the old lady who sells her feet is really powerful. It would be better if she stopped asking me to cooperate with those weird experiments."

"But you grow so slowly. It took so long and you only grew another heart."

"It's good enough to be like this now. I'm not Qingliu possessed by the Dragon God."

"Once Prajna has taken in the divine skeleton of An Yujiamei and accepted the power of the Dragon God, combined with the flesh and blood skills of the old lady selling feet, it should be helpful for you to reshape your body, right?"

"Maybe."

Kamiya walked up to Takihime, took out a small wine cup and shook it in front of her: "I brought you some wine. Seaweed wine, it's a specialty, would you like to try it? By the way, can you drink now?"

"My tongue is not broken, and it's too boring to stay rooted here and unable to move. Please feed me, ah——"

As Takijime spoke, she faced Kamiyagawa and slightly opened her small lips. One could see the soft tongue in her mouth gently rising up as she opened her mouth.

With only her head and heart, she really could only wait to be fed.

Kamiya cooperated by tilting the wine cup and pouring the seaweed wine along Takihime's lips and teeth.

But the princess, who only had her head, struggled violently, trying to throw herself back to break free. The sweet wine dripped down her mouth and hair: "Ahem...be gentle, it's flowing into my nose!"

"Ah, sorry."

He readjusted his movements and fed Takiji two more sips of wine.

Kamiya saw a moist stream of water flowing along the black line at his neck and into the flesh and blood where he was rooted.

"Hey, Kamiya." After tasting the wine, Takiji breathed a sigh of relief, and her face became slightly rosy. "How is loving her?"

"I went to the countermeasures room to see her a few days ago. Miss Saotome is doing well and seems to be getting along well with my two apprentices. Oh, she is very worried about you."

Takiji shook her long hair: "Then tell her that I am also good."

"Ah."

"By the way, I just wanted to see you these past two days."

"what happened?"

“…I can’t explain it. I feel a little uneasy.”

"Looking for comfort?"

"No! It's just... I feel like something is going to happen soon."

After hearing this, Kamiya became more serious: "About what? Qingliu, or Fengmoshi?"

"I've already said it, I can't say it anymore." Takiji first looked at Kamiya with contempt, but then lowered her head and thought, "Maybe it was during the Demonic Time."

This Yashahime "died" once in a battle with Anyu Kami.

Logically speaking, the connection with Omatoki has ended.

but……

Maybe she could still feel something.

"So far, I have fought against most of the Demonic Hours, except for the Hour of Zi, the Hour of Yin, and the Hour of Hai. Among these three Demonic Hours that I have never seen, the Hour of Zi and the Hour of Yin should be considered more special..."

"Haoshi is also very special. He manages the Omashiki organization, and no one knows his identity."

"Let's assume for the moment that you have a premonition that the demon will cause chaos again. Will it be one of these three, or some other new addition?"

“I don’t know. My premonitions are not always accurate. I’m just a little uneasy. I don’t know if my inspiration has been strengthened by my death under the influence of Amurakami. But come to think of it, even if there are new additions to the Omaji, those minions will not be your opponents. I’m just afraid that - Hey, Kamiya, give me another sip of wine.”
