I'm Really a God

"Although I can't see you, I know that you are right in front of me. Is this strange ability the power of the Holy Grail of Heaven?"

Kou Ziqing was very depressed. Although he practiced this invisibility technique on the spot, how could this miraculous Taoism continue to suffer?At the beginning, the signal of technology was forgotten, but now the flame induced by the arrangement has been seen through again.

Depression is depression, but Kou Ziqing still looked at the person in front of him. From the perspective of luck, his status is indescribable, almost the apex of a country, and most of his luck comes from himself. It can strengthen one's own luck. In this world with different blades and blade controllers, if one has a powerful different blade and strength, it will be a bit like owning one's own mighty power.

Kou Ziqing withdrew the spell, and said directly:

"You are the first blade master in the empire, the master of Kagutsuchi?"

"Yes, the color of that crystal is indeed the holy grail of heaven."

The man who claims to be the strongest in the empire glanced at the crystal on Yan's chest, and then said solemnly:

"I didn't expect that the Holy Grail of Heaven would be awakened again after 500 years, and the blade master is still such a young boy."

"I'm also surprised that the strongest blade master in the Speibia Empire is a woman."

Chapter 22 祓禊

Kikyo walked out of the shrine in white clothes with a wooden bucket in hand, and Kou Ziqing greeted him:

"Kikyo! Please let me help you if you are dying!"

Kikyo slightly looked at him who was in a hurry and couldn't help being surprised and said:

"Didn't you go to Tianshen Mountain City to eliminate demons? Why did you come back so soon?"

"It's just a one-eyed giant. Three swords will kill it. And it's not like you don't know how fast my shikigami rune horse is."

Kikyo shook her head and was about to walk towards the river without talking. Kou Ziqing hurriedly followed behind her, but Kikyo didn't chase him away and let him walk behind her. After reaching the river, she walked upstream along the river bank. It is a stretch of rolling hills, reflecting the gleaming golden light under the setting sun, which looks extraordinarily magnificent, like a beautiful picture.

After Kikyo led Kou Ziqing through a forest, he vaguely heard a roar and turned a few turns. A waterfall appeared. Looking from afar, it looked like a shining silver ribbon. When it hit the surrounding rocks, tiny water droplets formed like flying flowers and broken jade.

"arrive."

Kikyo looked at the waterfall and said:

"I'm going to set up an enchantment, if you want to leave, you can leave now."

Kou Ziqing said cheekily:

"I've never seen a priestess 祓禊. Even if you don't want me to help you let me watch it, it's okay. After all, it's a purification ceremony that has been passed down for a long time."

Kikyo glanced at him beautifully and there was a hint of spiritual pressure in his indifferent attitude. Kou Ziqing was under pressure to help her with the bucket. Kikyo sighed helplessly and gave him the bucket, then made seals with both hands, forming a circle centered on her Covering the enchantment with a radius of hundreds of meters, this enchantment has the triple function of purification, driving and blocking. Kou Ziqing felt that the enchantment did not exclude him, and he couldn't help but feel happy. At this time, Kikyo had taken the barrel back from him:

"Just help me guard it, so as not to disturb any monsters."

"Don't worry, I promise I won't let anything in, no matter if it's a human or a demon."

Kikyo gave him a blank look, but went to the shore not far from the waterfall, and began to exorcise.祓禊, the name of the ancient sacrifice, originated from the ancient Chinese sacrifice for eliminating evil.[祓] and [禊] are two different ceremonies. [祓] is a ceremony held in ancient times to eliminate disasters and seek blessings; Sacrifice.

"祓" and "禊" are combined into one, which refers to the method of washing with water to get rid of bad luck.In ancient China, every spring, witches would hold rituals to eliminate disasters and diseases for people by the river, which is called "祓禊".

It belongs to the category of auspicious rituals in the five rituals [auspicious rituals, fierce rituals, military rituals, guest rituals, and commendation rituals].This custom flourished in the Western Zhou Dynasty, flourished in the Han and Tang Dynasties, and was quite influential in history. "Zhou Li Chun Guan" contains:

"Witches bathe in exorcism,"

This is the earliest record about 祓禊.

Because of the fading of Chinese witch culture, this ceremony gradually disappeared, but it was handed down in Japan and became an important ceremony in Japanese Shinto.

Kikyo uses a bucket to fill water from the flowing river, and then splashes it on himself. The weather is actually a bit cool at the moment, and the river in the mountains is even more shady, but Kikyo doesn't care. The process of flushing with cold water is not painful, after all This is an important ritual for witches, and it is also a bridge to communicate with the gods. It not only cleans the body, but also purifies and sublimates the spiritual power.

Water plays an extraordinary role in Japanese Shinto, where it is seen as a manifestation of the gods.The ancient Japanese regarded water as having the divine power to purify, wash away sins and remove filth.If the spiritual power is running all the time, it will also generate some load, just like the computer needs to clean up the garbage memory, and the evil spirit is to eliminate these loads and the darker resentment and curse after killing the demon.

Ten minutes later, Kikyo finished the ceremony and stood up. The white hakama cloak stuck to her skin, clearly outlining her body curves. Originally, Kikyo didn't care much about such things.After all, there was no one else in this mountain except her when she was in the past.

No.

Now that there is one more person, Kou Ziqing watched this long-awaited scene intently. He only felt that Kikyo had both the sacred side of a witch and the seductive side of a woman. He wanted to take out the camera to take pictures of Kikyo, but in the end it was It's too advanced and it's really too much to do so, so I have to use my brain to engrave this beautiful scene in my heart as much as possible.

"You have killed demons continuously recently, and you have somewhat cursed energy in your spiritual power. You should also perform exorcism."

Although Kikyo's tone was calm, the rosy glow on her cheeks showed the shame in her heart. Kou Ziqing came back to his senses and said:

"Me too? It's good."

Kou Ziqing nodded and promised to go to the bucket, but saw Kikyo took a step back and said:

"I think you have too much evil spirit, and you need a further ritual. I will teach you the scriptures, and you can go under the waterfall and persist for half an hour."

"what?!"

Kou Ziqing looked at the waterfall that flew straight down. Although it was just a waterfall on a small mountain, it was not as spectacular as the rushing horses like Huangguoshu Lushan Waterfall.

"It's too exaggerated, just use a bucket."

Kou Ziqing hastily waved his hand and stared at her coldly. She was dressed so close to her skin and even transparent, she was so beautiful even if she was angry that people couldn't take her eyes off her, but the unshakable will in Kikyo's eyes made Kou Ziqing understand that there was no room for relaxation and had to laugh dryly. , Samsam walked towards the waterfall.

A few minutes later, Kou Ziqing stood on a rock and let the waterfall wash his body. The rock was smooth and untenable, but it couldn't help Kou Ziqing's balance. It was so cold that he soon felt chills all over his body.

"Recite the scriptures silently and let go of your brain. You usually have too many strange ideas."

Supervisor Kikyo on the shore said that Japan does use waterfalls to cultivate, mainly to expel distracting thoughts and let the mind empty. To experience it myself, I feel that this is more like punishment than practice.

"Wuuuu, it turns out that good things come at a price. I had the cheek to watch Kikyo take a bath, and even though I got my wish, it made her angry. Alas, women are so stingy."

Half an hour later, Kikyo finally let Kou Ziqing go, and a certain Taoist priest who returned to the shore was shivering with cold and his face was blue, which was completely different from the freshness of Kikyo after the exorcism. Ji Geng snorted subtly, road:
