Star Dome Railway: My pioneers were abducted

The enshrinement of the perch is not a difficult task for people with strong elemental perception such as Ye Xiao. After completing the search for the last "feather", the preparations for the festival have been completed.

Aru still asked Yexiao and others to go back to the Mochi Sacrifice first. Although she knew there might be something wrong with it, when she arrived at the sacrificial site, Ying was still shocked by the sight in front of her - there were originally a lot of "people" "There is no trace of the sacrificial site at this time.

But in the center of the altar, several people found an object, which seemed to be a device that could make sounds.

"Is this... the wooden reed flute?" Paimon's attention was first attracted by the wooden reed flute, "Great, Aru really didn't lie to us!"

"But what about the people here? Isn't it said that there is a festival?" Mengshi asked doubtfully, "Even if it was suspected to be a phantom before, it just disappeared. It feels so strange."

"Yes, I have done so much for them, but I also want to see the difference between the festival here and the fireworks festival on Narukami Island." Paimon also agreed with Dream Sense's statement.

Ye Xiao smiled and said silently in her heart, believe me, you don't want to see this festival with your own eyes.

"I'm also a little concerned about Heguan..." Ying looked at the mission target in his hand and suddenly had an intuition that "this matter is far from over."

"In short, the commission target has been obtained. Let's go find Acai first." Paimon thought for a while and felt that he could complete the commission first.

"Well, actually I think you don't need to go back." Ye Xiao touched her chin to interrupt Ying's statement.

"Huh?" Paimon and Ying both made confused sounds.

"Anyway, as Paimon said, let's go to the camp at the Seven Heavens Statue and talk about it. A lot of information won't be clear for a while."

……

In the tents of the camp, including Ah Ke who was waiting at the Seven-Sky God Statue, several people replenished their energy and sat down around the fire, holding hot drinks made by Ye Xiao in their hands to start the discussion.

"Ye Xiao, what did you mean when you just said that we don't have to go back to deliver the mission?" Paimon asked impatiently.

"Well, you'll know after you take out the wooden flute and take a look."

"Wooden reed flute? What's wrong? Do you have any questions - eh!!!" Paimon followed the instructions a little confused, but immediately she made a surprised sound, "The wooden reed flute is gone. I obviously have it." It’s put away!”

"It's not your problem." Ye Xiao comforted Paimeng, and he turned to look at Ah Fu, "This shouldn't be the first time this has happened, right?"

"Well, the previous adventurers and detectives who took on the mission all said that they found the wooden flute, but when they arrived at Mr. Sumida's place, the wooden flute disappeared." Akama did not hide anything.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Paimon said with his hands on his hips, "This is obviously very important information..."

"...because you didn't ask..." A'Kao said calmly, and at the same time, he killed Paimon's question.

"So, what we just got is actually an illusion?" Ying reacted, "This Crane Temple is really strange. I don't know how this strange earth vein phenomenon was formed."

"Well, I have a guess." Ye Xiao withdrew his gaze from Ah Fu and continued, "Before coming here again, I checked many ancient books, and the records of Heguan civilization in the books have been It has been destroyed for thousands of years, so the "local people of Heguan" cannot really exist in today's time and space. "

"On the other side of the record, it was a Thunder Demon Owl that destroyed Heguan Civilization, and was eventually wiped out by the God of Thunder at Tianyun Pass on Qinglai Island. Qianlai Shrine was also established to suppress the power left by the giant owl."

Speaking of this, Ye Xiao paused, while Ying and Paimeng remembered the commission they had given to Qinglai Island not long ago.

"So do you think that the abnormality in Heguan is caused by the Thunder Demon Owl? In that case, it seems possible..." Mengshi thought for a while, and had seen the purple sky in the distance before when sailing on the sea.

If he can cause such a huge phenomenon even after death, there should be no problem in causing these things in Heguan.

"No, this is not the key. Have you forgotten who Aru and those Heguan people think of as the object of the festival?" Ye Xiao reminded.

"Whether it's 'Kapachiri' or 'Thunderbird-sama', I think it's the Demon Owl of Thunder that finally destroyed Tsurukan. "

"Why? Isn't it the belief of the Heguan people? According to the Heguan people, the thunderbirds have been protecting Heguan." Paimon was a little hard to understand.

"Thunderbird is not a demon after all, and the faith of mortals may not be that important in his eyes." Ye Xiao gave his own understanding, "Also, do you still remember the murals we saw when we worshiped the perch?"

"Remember, some children at the festival also talked about it." Mengshi nodded and agreed, and the others continued to listen to Ye Xiao's analysis.

"Although I can't understand the words on the murals, judging from the patterns alone, in more distant ancient times, the belief of the Heguan civilization would not be Kapaqili."

"Because the gate we saw, the huge stone statues at the altar, and the thunder stones all imitate the thunderbirds, and there are even special statues of the thunderbirds. If the faith of Heguan has never changed, then the murals should also have reflect."

"And from the previous conversations between Heguan people at the festival, we can know that they believed that the ancient world was swallowed up by darkness, and it was the thunderbirds that brought the fog to protect them from being eroded by darkness."

"But did the thunderbirds really bring the fog? Or did the fog really protect them?"

The two little guys were a little confused when they heard this question, but Ying lowered her head and her eyes flashed, and she already understood what Ye Xiao wanted to explain.

Regardless of whether the thunderbird has the ability to bring fog or disperse fog, perhaps the Heguan people's belief in the thunderbird is essentially their own behavior. Holding festivals and making offerings are all what the Heguan people think they express for themselves. Thunderbird respected approach.

Perhaps this was also influenced by the murals, because there are also records of sacrifices in the murals, but in any case, the Thunderbird never paid attention to these, and may not even have responded.

"So, is this the reason why "Grandpa Mata" would say something like, "I hope Lord Thunderbird will be satisfied with this festival?" "

Ying had some bad guesses in her heart. She raised her head and said, "Tomorrow, let's go to the festival again!"
