"Why?" Tomi Jiang looked at the temple with disbelief in his eyes. Why is there such a temple in the deep sea? The architectural style is the style of the Asuka era.

"Why don't you go in and take a look?" Qianji swam behind him again, her voice was very soft but full of charm.

Fu Jiang glanced at her.

Qianji understood the look in his eyes and said with a smile: "I won't tell you, and you won't believe what I say now, right?"

Before Fu Jiang could speak, she stretched out her finger and gently pressed Fu Jiang's lips to stop him from speaking, "A good boy can't wait for others to tell you the answer. Try to find the answer yourself."

Although Qianji seemed to be very talkative after Tomie came in, she obviously has a bottom line. Is her purpose just to walk in by herself?

Fujiang looked up at the dark temple again and walked towards it.

"You are the Son of God, you should know the rules very well!" Qianji reminded him loudly while looking at his back.

Fu Jiang raised his hand and waved.

A shrine refers to a place in a shrine where statues of gods and gods are enshrined. Not all shrines will have shrines. The objects of worship in Shintoism are not necessarily tangible objects. Shintoism believes that all things have animism. There have always been eight million gods, so there are In the case of enshrining nature, at Neonkai you will see a small torii gate and a small shrine at the foot of a huge tree that has grown for a long time, or simply a shrine. This is a shrine without a shrine.

To put it simply, the gods enshrined in shrines with shrines are the main gods with names and surnames, and the shrines with shrines and no shrines are dedicated to the last gods. There are also shrines without shrines that only exist for wild gods passed down by mouth, or even those who were once known. The God of Fukutsu who once had a shrine but was demolished and abandoned by humans.

In a situation like this, there should have been a very grand shrine here, but now only the temple remains.

When I first arrived, Tomie didn't pay attention to see if there was a torii gate because it was too dark, but now that I have seen the temple, I must have crossed that boundary. I just don't know which god this temple is dedicated to, or whether this god is still there. In the divine realm, gods who lose human faith can only end up disappearing or...

The inside of the temple was also dark and visibility was very low, so he drove the divine fire to surround himself, not only as a form of protection, but also to ensure that something terrible would suddenly appear in front of him.

From this remaining shrine, we can also deduce the scale of the entire shrine.

Neon shrines are usually built on mountains, so it is normal for there to be stairs before going to the shrine, but the temple does not. Because Shintoism believes in nature, the shrine prefers a design that is in line with nature rather than a cultural landscape. , such as there are stairs in front of the temple, but there are rarely long and ceremonial stairs like those in foreign countries.

But the temple in front of him adopted this design. Tomie counted nineteen levels in total, a very unlucky number for the shrine.

As soon as he stepped through the gate of the temple, Tomie saw the wooden boards that had been soaked in water and already rotten begin to change.

He stood there and stopped moving, watching everything change very calmly.

The wooden planks were just the beginning. It was visible to the naked eye that the entire building, which had been severely corroded by seawater, was rapidly turning back time. First it was completely repaired, and then the darkness that filled the entire temple began to retreat. The temple rose and finally broke out of the sea.

Brilliant light entered the temple, and the last piece of broken wood filled the hole in the ceiling of the temple. Tomie turned around and saw at a glance the huge vermilion torii gate standing in the center of the sea.

Seabirds screamed and flew over the torii gate, and under the nineteen steps was the blue water.

Tomie retreated to the stairs, and now you can see the complete scale of the shrine. The entire shrine is built on the sea level. This scenery is really shocking to the human eye.

"The first time I saw this shrine, you had the same reaction." A very cold male voice sounded in my ears.

Fujiang looked back, and his first reaction was that he was very tall. From a visual inspection, the man should be about 1.8 meters tall, almost 1.9 meters tall. His dark blue hair was very long and tied into a thick braid, all of which reached his right chest. forward.

She also wears a pair of crescent moon earrings, a sapphire blue outfit with sporadic white dots, and a pearl white haori. The hem of the haori is carefully embroidered with smoke and cloud patterns. If you look closely at her outfit, it looks like the night sky is the theme.

Tomi Jiang looked at him and couldn't help but frowned. What should I say? He has also worn this kind of dress. It is also very common in modern times, but the contemporary clothing style is not like this.

"What do you want to say to me?" The man squinted at him with his dark blue eyes like the night sky.

Fujiang struggled for a while but what he finally said was: "Your hairstyle seems a bit dangerous."

The man turned to look at him expressionlessly.

Tomie suddenly felt like he was being stared at by the teachers at the shrine, and he immediately became serious and did not dare to be presumptuous at all.

After seeing Tomie calm down, he stopped looking at him and turned his gaze in the direction of the torii.

Seeing that he didn't seem to have difficulty communicating, Fu Jiang asked in a low voice: "What do you call him?"

"Huang." The man didn't look at him, he was still facing the sea over there.

Tomie looked at him carefully. From the moment he saw him, he felt that the aura of this man was very similar to his own. The only way to describe him would be: "There is the aura of Takamagahara."

"Well, I am a son of God just like you." The man turned back to look at him, and after seeing the true expression on Fujiang's face, he added: "Strictly speaking, I should be, I was also a son of God."

Fu Jiang nodded. It was not difficult to guess. He had already felt other breaths on his body, a feeling similar to dust that had accumulated for a long time.

This former Son of God might be able to answer all the questions he had now.

Araya knew what he wanted to ask and why he came, but he did not answer directly. He just turned around and climbed up to the temple.

Fu Jiang hurriedly followed.

As soon as he arrived at the temple, he stood in front of the statue and stopped moving.

Seeing that he ignored him, Tomie began to walk around the walls of the temple, minding his own business. Because the temple was now rising to the sea, with the light, he could naturally see all the murals and statues.

The mural depicts the life of Izanami, from her birth to her death, and finally to her swearing in front of the Underworld Thousand Stones. In the end, only her resentful and angry eyes and boundless darkness were left.

The statue enshrined in the center is also a statue of Izanami, but she was chosen to look like her body was burnt black and her face was ferocious.

"Are you the priest here?" Tomi Jiang looked at all the murals and stood next to Huang who was standing in front of the statue.

Huang shook his head.

"Not all sons of gods can be priests."

Tomie didn't say anything. Although he was the Son of God, he actually didn't understand the specific situation. There were too few Sons of God in history. The only senior godson beside him is Shuten Doji, and as everyone knows, he has become a ghost.

However, Shuten-dōji’s god is Yamata-no-Orochi, the god of misfortune, so it cannot be used as a reference.

"The Sons of God who were descended from Gao Tianyuan all have missions. Most of the Sons of God will work hard to travel and return to Gao Tianyuan after paying their lives for the mission." As a senior, Aang began to educate him about his own position.

Fu Jiang nodded, and then subconsciously asked, "If you can't finish it, can't you go back?"

Huang Hui said: "Well, I can't go back."

"Then you..." Fu Jiang looked at him and suddenly understood what the faint dusty feeling on his body was.

"I didn't fulfill my duties, and I also had doubts." Huang admitted calmly.

"Your..." Fujiang didn't know whether he should ask now.

He did not come directly from Takamagahara to the human world. He has no memory of it, but comparing it with his own, modern times are Takamagahara in Tomie. There is his mother, Kusuo, Kousuke, and father there.

Even if I have a bond with someone I care about in the Heian Era, and I feel reluctant to let go, I still want to go back. That is the way home that I will always cherish.

The Huang in front of him must also really hope to return to Gao Tianyuan, but now he is standing here and saying to himself that he has doubts.

"What do I have..." Fu Jiang wanted to ask if there was anything he could do to help him, but he felt that it would be too arrogant to just say it out loud.

Moreover, the man in front of him looked majestic. Even though he was dressed casually, he looked very handsome, but Tomie felt that he might have a personality like the great priest Hasegawa. Somewhat old-fashioned.

So he didn't dare to ask him about something so leisurely.

Tomie's words were not spoken, and Ara did not continue to communicate with him, but just looked at the statue of Izanami quietly.

Tomie looked at him, then looked at the statue, and suddenly remembered the Pu Xianweng he met five years ago, and had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, so he said: "I once heard a fairy mention a story about Izana After the beauty goddess gave birth to Kagome, the god of fire, she actually had a child that she didn't have time to give birth to, and she was taken to the underworld to bear his resentment..."

Tomie looked at Huang's eyes seriously, and finally asked tentatively: "Who is your god?"

Perhaps because he was too nervous, Tomi Jiang unconsciously used honorifics.

Aara didn't look at him, but answered the question: "Don't worry, my god is Tsukuyomi-san."

"Sanguizi?" Tomie breathed a sigh of relief. He was an absolutely orthodox god, but the next moment he looked at Ara in shock. He just didn't deny that Izanami still had a son.

Tomie asked tentatively: "So this temple... was built by the child who carried the goddess' resentment?"

This time Huang finally turned to look at him, and with his trembling pupils, he nodded slowly.

Fu Jiang covered his mouth in disbelief. Could it be that the enemy they faced was a god?

Normally, without faith, one cannot become a god.

However, there is an exception for one category of gods, and that is the gods that existed before the birth of humans, such as Izanagi and Izanami. Therefore, their children may have different strengths depending on whether they have human faith, but It will not disappear just because there is no human faith.

If there really is such a person, how can humans fight him, and what position does Tomie have to stand on.

"Weiyuan China once had no distinction between the sun and the moon, food was scarce, wind and rain were irregular, and the creatures there were so stupid..." Huang suddenly began to tell a story.

Although Fu Jiang was puzzled, he listened quietly to what he said.

His story is that a long time ago, there was no difference between night and day in the world. At that time, there was very little food, natural disasters were still severe, and primitive people were stupid. Then one day, Amaterasu found the body of her twin brother or sister. Tsukuyomi respected the god and asked him to come to the human world to entertain a god who could protect the growth of grains and protect food.

After Tsukuyomi arrived, he expressed his identity to the god, and because of his identity as the child of Izanagi, he received the highest level of hospitality from the god of food.

The food-preserving god first spit out the grains with a "vomit" sound toward the earth, and spit out piles of fresh fish of all sizes in his mouth with a "wow" sound toward the ocean. Finally, facing the direction of the mountains, he spit out a "ah" sound. , spitting out fat beasts from his mouth.

The Food God gathered these things, prepared a banquet, and happily invited Tsukiyomi to dine. After reading Tsukuyomi, he felt that he was humiliating him and became furious, so he killed him.

After returning to Takamagahara, Tsukuyomi told the story to Amaterasu. Amaterasu cursed Tsukuyomi how dare he kill the God of Food. The siblings turned against each other, but they were not willing to sacrifice their twin gods for their own lives, so they could only send him to guard the night forever. , never appear in front of him again.

That's why the sun and moon are separated.

"This is the story of "The Sun and the Moon Never Meet" in the history of mythology." As a son of God, Tomie also learned this when he was raised in a shrine. The priests gave this to him as history, and he listened to it as a storybook.

Huang nodded and continued: "The death of the God of Food has led to serious consequences. From now on, the land will no longer be able to grow grains, the sea will be violently stormy, and the animals will grow wings or fangs and claws... It will be difficult for humans to survive."

Tomie nodded, "That's why later on there were the Inari God for the harvest, Fang God for farming and hunting, and Suzhan Mingzun for controlling the sea."

From this point of view, Suzhan Mingzun's lineage was completely assigned to help Tsukuyomi Zun clean up the mess.

Aara nodded and continued: "Even if there are replaceable gods, there are still humans facing hunger and disaster. In order to deal with this fact, Tsukuyomi-san sent me to Weiyuan China."

Tomie nodded. Gods are arrogant and will not admit that they have done something wrong. They only respond because the consequences have already happened.

"I have the ability to predict the future."

Fu Jiang stared at him with wide eyes. This ability must be too great.

"I have predicted for human beings what may happen in the future to help them avoid disaster or gain." At this point, Huang suddenly turned and looked in the direction of the sea, "But the future is not unchanged. From what you know There are already variables in the future.”

Tomi Jiang nodded, this is the famous theory of fate.

"Although I can see the most accurate future, it is not accurate for humans. I am useless to them."
