Museum of Demons

At noon, Wei Yuan cooked the meal himself.

This is the place where a lay disciple of Tianshi Mansion lives. Tianshi Mansion is on Longhu Mountain. From the classification of Wumen, it is also related to Qingcheng Mountain and Wudang Mountain. They have boxing and sword skills, but they are not as good as the former two. It's difficult, there are lay disciples who don't go out, but also come to the mountain to practice swordsmanship. After a few years, after learning something, they will choose to go down the mountain.

It was originally where such a disciple lived.

It's just that this time is given to Wei Yuan and Ah Xuan.

That disciple came to Sakurajima to create some careers, and there was no shortage of cooking and seasoning at home. According to him, at the beginning of coming here, he was very interested in those Sakurajima delicacies, such as sushi, I often eat ramen, but after a week, a bird fades out of my mouth.

Tossing and turning is just such a pattern.

At that time, it was not easy to buy seasonings from China.

He managed to get it with great difficulty, and fried himself a portion of ground three delicacies and a portion of tomato scrambled eggs overnight.

After eating three bowls in one go, I felt like I had come back to life.

People's tastes and habits are formed when they are young and adjusted by their parents and hometown.

So no matter how far you are from your hometown, and no matter how long it has passed, the taste your stomach is most accustomed to is still the one, some are egg fried rice, some are roasted naan with chili meat, Wei Yuan watched the white and clean little Taoist go A layer of diced green and red peppers was poured into the rice, and the corners of his eyes twitched as he pulled the spoon into his mouth.

He suddenly knew why there was no fish head with chopped peppers left that day.

The little Taoist Axuan ate a bowl of rice contentedly, noticed Wei Yuan's gaze, and said a little embarrassedly: We at Longhu Mountain are more able to eat spicy food, and I have been used to it since I was a child, Master Wei, what are you used to? vegetable?

What are you used to?

Fish and rice? still……

Wei Yuan's saliva secreted from the back of his tongue when he thought of those crude and delicious dishes.

Thinking of the injuries caused by the forcible use of Taoist supernatural powers and the back-shock of close combat this time, Wei Yuan had an idea in his heart that after a while after the back-shock, he would worship me like the people from Chaoge City. Shan, or go there to get some meat and spend a lot of energy to send it over.

There are many strange beasts that can strengthen their bodies and improve their blood.

He gradually confirmed this idea, noticed Ah Xuan's inquiring gaze, and said with a smile:

... Let's have a barbecue.

The kind of barbecue with a bit of firewood and a bit of black skin.

That's what I used to eat at the beginning.

Ah Xuan nodded, thinking that this kind of diet, in the present era of rich products, is still simple. After eating and drinking enough, Wei Yuan went back to the bedroom to rest. Yesterday, the magic power of Tiangang and the righteous method of earth evil can be used without money. , The power of the mountain god seal has long been exhausted.

Now, after one day and one night, it has only been filled to more than half.

For the next thing, this force is still needed.

Wei Yuan put away the seal of the mountain god.

He took out the red embroidered shoes again.

After the incident at the shrine, the spirituality of the red embroidered shoes could be turned into a girl with drooping hair for a short time. Wei Yuan wondered if the environment in his own home was very suitable for all kinds of things to become spirits. Looking at her, she seemed exhausted, Wei Yuan Yuan drew a few soul nourishing talismans and pasted them on the box, telling her to go back and rest.

And let Qi's army soldiers guard her.

This is the only way to breathe out and nourish your energy, to maintain your practice

……………………

Overnight.

The young Taoist got up with two dark circles under his eyes.

Because of his senior brother's reaction, he was worried and worried for a whole night last night, and he dared not fall asleep.

I was afraid that when I fell asleep in the middle of the night, the seemingly gentle and injured guard would get up and go out to make trouble.

Maybe when I wake up the next day, the head guard will make headlines again.

If that was the case, he might feel like crying.

However, this should just be my own overthinking.

No matter what, the owner of the guard also said that he would not do that kind of thing in the past few days, such a senior, he will not just say nothing...

Ah Xuan, who had washed up with dark circles under his eyes, yawned, opened the door, and saw Wei Yuan in simple sportswear, ready to go, and the eight-faced Han sword with sheath on his back. The young Taoist stared wide. His eyes were trembling all over, he immediately woke up, took a few steps forward, grabbed Wei Yuan, and almost cried out:

Wait a minute, Master Wei.

You clearly said that you won't go out to make trouble these days.

It's only been two days.

It's only been two days!

Wei Yuan turned his head, looked at the young Taoist priest who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and said helplessly: I just said at the time that I don't plan to do similar things again in the next five days, but you don't need to ground me, right? , I'm not the big girl with yellow flowers in the past, I finally came here, I also want to take a look around.

That's what you said back then!

This time is different.

Wei Yuan said, I just want to visit my old friend.

Old friend?

Ah Xuan was stunned, and asked suspiciously: Master Wei, do you know anyone in Sakurajima?

Wei Yuan smiled and said, Yes, he came a long time ago, and I haven't seen him for a long time.

The little Taoist A Xuan pondered for a long time, and asked earnestly:

Master Wei, what old man still needs you to carry a sword?

Wei Yuan: ...

……………………

Finally Wei Yuan went out.

Of course, Ah Xuan also set off with him.

The destination is Shiga Prefecture in Sakurajima. To be precise, it is the place where Gifu County and Shiga Prefecture meet. Ah Xuan was originally full of vigilance, but when he arrived at the destination, he was stunned. It was a special place like last time.

It's just a mountain here.

Although it is also a famous mountain in Sakurajima, it is obviously not a place for revenge or trouble. Even in the worst case, the disturbance in this place will not be too big. Ah Xuan felt a little relieved. I didn't even notice that I had already made the most pessimistic plan.

Wei Yuan smiled and said, I said I just came here to see old friends.

The two walked up the mountain. The scenery here is pretty good. There is a mountain god shrine on the mountain, but it is just a mountain god shrine. In fact, there are Buddhist temples on this mountain, which is a mixture of mountain god worship and Buddhist temples.

Because it is one of the top 100 famous mountains in Sakurajima, there are actually quite a few people coming and going.

Wei Yuan looked around at the shrine, at least it looked clean and elegant.

Some people prayed to the gods and rang the bell with a sincere look, and some people went to offer incense in a temple on the same mountain. A shrine attendant saw Wei Yuan and Ah Xuan with a smile and asked, Would the two of you ask the gods? Pray? Ibuki-san Daimyojin is quite effective.

Ah Xuan quickly waved his hand to decline.

He is a Taoist priest, and he is a Taoist priest of the orthodox school of teaching.

Worshiping the gods of Shintoism in this place, I am afraid that the patriarch will not be hit by a thunderbolt.

At first he wanted to pull Wei Yuan to go together, but he couldn't. When he turned around, he found Wei Yuan smiled and said:

It's all here, and it's nothing to pay homage to.

Ah Xuan: ??!

Wei Yuan took out a Sakurajima coin.

Throwing it with a flick of the fingers, the so-called sesame oil money was supposed to fall, but it landed in the gap strangely and stopped moving. Wei Yuan took out the second one and threw it again. The sesame oil money was still stuck in the Between the gaps, it failed to fall into the box, or the god attendant threw the money in

Wei Yuan followed Sakurajima's way of worshiping God and clapped his hands, making a gesture of bowing slightly.

It's kind of like a greeting.

The action hasn't started yet.

Accompanied by the sound of crackling, a crack suddenly appeared on the ground of the worship hall of the shrine in front of him, and the bricks and stones in front of Ziwei Yuan began to crack, spreading to the main body of the shrine, and then continued to go up, the cracks were ferocious, and finally stopped , the beams of the house shook, shaking off a lot of smoke and dust.

The shrine attendant was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

Wei Yuan put down his hands, stared at the shrine for a while, and said politely: It seems that I don't have this fate anymore.

Ah Xuan translated this sentence to the servant, and Wei Yuan didn't seem interested in staying in front of the worship hall. After the two left, the servant was still at a loss. This shrine has to be repaired every 20 years. It has not been ten years since the last repair was completed. If it is broken, it will be broken soon.

He dazedly walked to the position where Wei Yuan was standing just now, and subconsciously raised his hand to pray for the blessing of the gods.

The movement froze slightly.

His eyes widened.

It was only when he raised his hand that he noticed that the crack in the worship hall of the shrine was exactly where the young man raised his palm just now. When his eyes crossed the palm, the crack would be blocked, as if this shrine was not affected at all. This prayer.

Or, I can't bear this worship.

………………

Wei Yuan asked Ah Xuan to walk around here by himself, while he himself leaned against the tree trunk behind the shrine. The tree planted here is a red maple tree. It is already late autumn, and the speed of the maple leaves falling slowly freezes, giving off a divine breath. The overflow spread out, covering the entire scope of the shrine.

Wei Yuan raised his eyes slightly.

Lifting his fingers, he picked up the solidified maple leaf in the air.

Behind them, two young men in white were half kneeling on the ground, their faces pale.

On the hilt of the Eight-Faced Han Sword behind Wei Yuan, an iron eagle fluttered its wings, and the low howling sound of the eagle emerged in the ears of the two divine mountain gods, making them unable to stop recalling the past. More than 2,000 years have passed, and the evil god from back then has returned.

They can't wait to jump off the mountain on the spot.

But I had to come again.

Wei Yuan turned his head, looked at the two mountain gods, and said calmly, I don't intend to kill you.

However, you have to pass a word to me.

His voice paused, and said:

There should be another god on this Mount Ibuki, right?

……………………

The god attendant just now, as well as the god master of the Ibuki Mountain God Shrine, brought Wei Yuan, who was wearing simple clothes, to the quiet room of the highest standard in the entire shrine with awe, served fragrant tea, and then retreated respectfully .

They have just received instructions from the gods to receive this distinguished guest.

Having not received the oracle for a long time, they almost completely obeyed the instructions.

Wei Yuan picked up the tea and took a sip slowly.

He had asked Ah Xuan to wait outside just now, the next thing is not suitable for this child to know, the taste of the tea is not bad, not as good as that of Longhushan. Slowly peel the orange.

There was no light in the quiet room, only the light of two candles.

After a while, the candlelight flickered suddenly, as if something ominous appeared, on the wall opposite Wei Yuan, there was an extra shadow standing outside the door, and then the door was slowly pushed open, and the whole room The temperature dropped suddenly, Wei Yuan opened his eyes and said calmly:

Long time no see.

I should call you Ibuki Daimyojin.

It's still Yamata no Orochi.

Or—

Wei Yuan's voice paused, and he said flatly, Xiang Liu.

PS: Today's second update... Thanks for grabbing your lollipop 20,000 starting coins

The appearance of the Ibuki mountain god in Kojiki is a big white pig, and the Nihon Shoki is a big white snake. This part tells the story that the Japanese Takeru wanted to go to Ibuki Mountain to compete with the mountain god, but he was killed.

In Heike Monogatari Sword Scroll, Ibuki Daimyojin and Yamata no Orochi are equated.
