Swallow Back

"Qianye Quan Gongsi committed a rebellion and attempted to seize the throne. Fortunately, Master Huizhen led the envoy sent by the Lord Shenming to suppress the rebellion. Those who have not been involved in this matter, please take their seats, so as not to be mistaken for the accomplices of the traitor And be affected!"

Although the soldiers at the Izumo Taisha Shrine lack discipline and lack of fighting spirit, the organization of the clergy is still there.

After the leader "Qianye Quan Palace Secretary" died in that very weird way, the rest of the people quickly turned against each other and reorganized the order under Huizhen's order.

It is conceivable that there will be many complicated political entanglements, new and old hatreds, public and private grievances and the like.

But Liuyun didn't care, and just let Nun Huizhen handle it as she pleased.

What he cares about is that there are finally no people blocking the eyes, and he can reach the main hall of Izumo Taisha unimpeded.

Walking along the way, in just a few hundred steps, you can clearly feel the resonance in your body getting stronger and stronger.

At first, I just vaguely felt that the place was a little familiar, but I had no specific impression.

Gradually, some fleeting images and whispering sounds appeared.

When I came to the front, specific images and human voices appeared in my mind. It was a very beautiful girl calling for help.

The girl's identity seemed to be revealed, but it seemed that a certain key had not been opened, which was unexpected.

Seems like it has to be a little closer.

Liu Yun naturally continued to move forward without hesitation.

Passed through the worship hall where sacrificial rituals were held, passed through the coin hall where coins were offered, and came to the main hall where the gods were installed.

There are statues of four masters, eight deputies and twelve "Guojin Gods".

At the same time, there was an old man lying on a temporary tatami mat, lethargic and breathless. He should be the so-called "seriously ill Omiyaji".Two young men were waiting on the side - it was strange to say, since he was seriously ill, why didn't he go to the bedroom, but stayed in the main hall of the shrine?

Just at this time, nun Huizhen hurried in after finishing the outside affairs hastily. Seeing this, she immediately asked nervously, "What happened to the poor nun's master?"

The two young waiters hesitated and explained several sentences but did not explain clearly. The general meaning was that a few days ago, when Omiya Si was daily worshiping the gods, he suddenly felt the long-lost will from the gods, but he did not listen to it. I understand too well, quickly take a bath and change clothes and open the altar to make a salute, so as to find out what the Lord God's request is.

As a result, in the process, he suddenly vomited blood and fell unconscious on the ground.

Then the second-in-command "Chiba Quangongji" immediately took over the power to eliminate dissidents, and publicized that Omiyaji was only seriously ill.

The waiter revealed that Omiyaji had been frowning tightly before he fell down, muttering something like "Would the gods ask me for help?"

After hearing the information, nun Huizhen still couldn't figure out the situation and became even more confused. She could only count on her trustworthy "Lord Envoy".

But at this moment, Liu Yun, who is the "Master Envoy", heard the words "ask for help", and felt that he could cope with the scene he had sensed just now, and if he got something.

It seems that the gods enshrined by this Izumo Taisha need help when they encounter some troubles. It just so happens that I have the same power as it, so I received the signal...

Following this line of thought, Liu Yun walked past the statues of the four masters and eight vassals one by one, and reached out his hand to knock on them disrespectfully.

The two young attendants were startled and angry, and shocked, but Nun Huizhen stopped them from reacting—even though she also had a look of hesitation on her face.

Liu Yun looked at the twelve wooden statues one by one, and found that each of them seemed to be just ordinary handicrafts, and he didn't get anything.

But after watching them all, they suddenly heard a crackling sound, and the twelve wooden statues were all shattered.

Nun Huizhen and the two young attendants were dumbstruck with fright.

However, if Liu Yun got something, he found that his telepathy became stronger.

At the same time, in the center of the main hall of the Izumo Taisha Shrine, a translucent figure emerged. It was a woman who was as ethereal and ethereal as a fairy, holding her chest in her hands like a Xizi, howling in pain, and asking for help.

In other words, the scene that Liu Yun sensed just now has come to reality!

He finally understood that this woman turned out to be the very dreaded Nine-Tailed Fox who had appeared many times before.

And the Nine-Tailed Fox was crying anxiously: "Master Liuyun, please come and save me! Nobunaga is doing something terrible, and the one who will be harmed by him is definitely not just me..."

Chapter 288 You shouldn't be disgusted with Fengyue, right?

After the four masters, eight deities and twelve wooden god statues spontaneously shattered, in the main hall of Izumo Taisha, what Liu Yun saw was the nine-tailed fox who had already fought several times.

According to the previous experience, the opponent is a big monster who has no obvious hostility, but his scheming is unpredictable, and he must be vigilant.

However, when the nun Huizhen who called herself "Miaoju" saw the phantom floating in the air, she was shocked, stunned, with an expression of disbelief on her face, and she stumbled for a while before saying, "You...you Is...is the Mother Goddess descending?"

At this moment, the phantom of the Nine-Tailed Fox seemed to be in extreme pain and weakness, and he reluctantly spoke out to Liu Yun for help, but was unable to speak again. Hearing the nun's careful inquiry, he raised his arm with difficulty and waved it twice, A fine shimmer of light was emitted.

I don't know what symbol she drew.

Anyway, when nun Huizhen saw this, she was overwhelmed with surprise and excited. She trembled with excitement, then knelt down, worshiped three times and kowtowed nine times, and at the same time shouted: "It's ushered in the descending of the Mother Goddess Temple! According to the records in the ancient books , this is a grand event that hasn't happened in 140 years! It's a great honor!"

When she thought Liu Yun was the "Master Envoy", she was already respectful enough.As for "His Highness the Mother Goddess", they are naturally much more respectful.

Then the surrounding attendants also reacted, and quickly knelt on the ground to salute, all looking overwhelmed by surprise.

At this time, Captain Hikaru, who turned into a sword and stayed in the sheath, made a calm evaluation: "I have heard for a long time that the gods and monsters in Dongying in ancient times were originally the same kind of existence, but they were just brought here by Xu Fudong." Then they took the different routes of accumulating faith and collecting fear... I always thought it was just a rumor, and it seems quite reasonable. There must be a connection between the Nine-Tailed Fox and the Kunitsu God enshrined by Izumo Taisha Shrine. Very deep roots."

Liu Yun agrees with this statement.

In fact, he has no special views on the existence of gods, Buddhas, demons, and demons. He only thinks that they are all strange and chaotic things, and it is very normal for them to be connected with each other.

After all, in the era of information explosion, people who have been influenced by the overdeveloped media and literary works, even if you say that the Buddha and the devil are good friends, Liu Yun may not be shaken in any way, but will say this setting It's too old-fashioned, and it must hit the street when written as a web article.

What he was curious about now was, did this nun Huizhen and the other attendants only care about being happy, but didn't they see that her "His Royal Highness" was obviously not in good condition?

No eyes?Or does it mean that the believer's perspective is automatically filtered?

The phantom of the nine-tailed fox did not intend to hide this, and spoke the truth in a weak tone: "There is no need to be too polite. It is a pity that this palace is in a catastrophe and cannot give blessings. Instead, I need your help. Omiya Secretary is Being implicated here... the strength he offered was far from enough to solve the problem, but put himself in danger... If I hadn't cut off the connection in time, Omiyaji would have died long ago."

Hearing this, Liu Yun felt that the Nine-Tailed Fox was pretty good, and did not pretend to coax the believers to sacrifice their lives, but bluntly stated the danger.

"Ah? This...how could it be like this? Master, he is..."

Nun Huizhen fell into even greater shock. She was stunned for a long time before she understood the situation. She raised her head and glanced at Da Gongsi who was lying unconscious on the ground. This is the duty of a believer! What an honor it is for Master to sacrifice his life for His Majesty the Mother Goddess? If you need it, please send the lives, souls and Take the body away!"

These words are so righteous and dignified that they sound like fakes.

But Liuyun might have felt that Nun Huizhen's sincerity was quite sufficient through psychic powers.

Is her loyalty to "His Royal Highness" so sincere?

What should I say...

Struggle for power, human trafficking, indulging in material desires, living a dissolute life, but keeping the bottom line of the clergy.

To this sincere loyalty, Nine-Tailed Fox responded with a feeble smile and exhausted words: "Thank you. It's a pity that there are too few true believers like Omiyaji and you in the Izumo Shrine. It doesn't help... Fortunately, you have attracted a distinguished guest. Although this person is not an envoy of the palace, he has a similar or even more important position... If Lord Liuyun presides over a ceremony, the palace may still be able to get Sufficient power to maintain existence..."

"Ceremony..." Nun Huizhen glanced over, with a bit of shyness on her face, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty the Mother Goddess, you said that the ceremony to be presided over by the envoy is one of the fifteen secret scrolls. The seventh path in..."

"Exactly..."

Nine-Tailed Fox's voice gradually became weaker, and he needed to prick his ears to hear clearly.

Her last words were: "I don't even have the power to condense into an image...I can only rely on you."

The self-proclaimed "Bengong" to the believers is "the concubine's body" here, so this sentence should be said to Liuyun.

Then the phantom in the temple disappeared.

Nun Huizhen knelt down on the ground, kowtowed again and again, kowtowed several times, and said sadly and generously: "Respectfully send off Your Majesty the Mother Goddess! The poor nun will definitely do her best to help you out of trouble, and I can offer everything for this!"

Then she stood up very quickly, her face became serious and stern in an instant, and she gave orders to the attendant next to her: "Ring the bell to inform all the witches—including those who have retired and turned into monks—to come to the main hall as soon as possible Come, there is an urgent ceremony to be held! Then all the priests are waiting outside the door of the worship hall! This matter is extremely urgent, and those who do not come or delay without reason are regarded as treason!"

The waiters didn't dare to be negligent, so they trotted to notify each other.

Then nun Huizhen knelt down towards Liuyun again, and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, please be patient, please allow this poor nun to explain to you the essence of the seventh secret ceremony..."

"and many more--"

Liu Yun shook his head and said:

"If you want me to preside over a ceremony, shouldn't you ask me if I am willing? I haven't agreed just now."

"Ah? This..." Nun Huizhen was shocked again, she was speechless for a full minute, and her expression gradually became desperate.

"My lord, you...are you unwilling to save Her Majesty the Mother Goddess?"

Nun Huizhen's words slowly filled with the kind of desolation that would arouse sympathy. 1

"Well--"

In all fairness, regardless of whether the woman in the phantom is the Nine-Tailed Fox or the Mother Goddess of the Izumo Taisha Shrine, Liu Yun really doesn't have much motivation to help.

Not a very good friend.

But...it doesn't seem like an enemy either.

Liu Yun vaguely felt that the plight of the Nine-Tailed Fox might have something to do with Oda Nobunaga's actions in Kinki.

It's about what you care about.

Besides, seeing the scene of Nine-Tailed Fox communicating with believers just now, my opinion of her has changed a bit, and I think she might be someone worthy of a good relationship.

No, not people, but monsters—or gods, in short, strange things rather than people.

After thinking about these things quickly, Liuyun's reply to nun Huizhen was: "At least I need to know what this 'seventh secret ceremony' looks like? If it is evil that will harm innocent people Techniques, then thank you for being sensitive.”

"Please don't worry about this!" Nun Huizhen immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly patted her plump breasts to make sure: "The seventh secret ceremony will never harm any innocent people. Although some people have said before This is an evil spell, but it's all because they are too old-fashioned and not enlightened enough. People like you who have a lot of wives and concubines should...cough cough...you shouldn't be disgusted with the affairs of Fengyue, right?"

As she spoke, this Nun Huizhen, who could be called the "Old Siji", unexpectedly showed a bit of shame on her face.

Listening and listening, Liu Yun felt that the atmosphere was not right.

How did it become a "love affair"?

Thinking about it again, nun Huizhen said just now that the witches should gather at the main hall, and the priests would stand by outside the door.

Could it be... is it really the kind of spell that won't harm the lives of innocent people, but will be reprimanded by the old-fashioned people? 3

Chapter 289 Should I Do It or Shouldn't It?

"A person like you who has a lot of wives and concubines should not have any distaste for Fengyue, right?"

Hearing this, Liu Yun was stunned.

Listen to this meaning, the so-called "seventh secret ceremony" of Izumo Taisha is to gather people to drive and exercise with many people?

Moreover, Nun Huizhen clearly ordered all the witches to come to the main hall to gather, and the priests were all waiting outside the door.

That is to say, when the "ceremony" is officially held later, he will be the only man left in the room?

Liuyun had already heard from Nun Huizhen that there were six to seven hundred priests in the Izumo Grand Shrine, of which about two hundred were guarding the shrine.In other words, there will be sixty to eighty shrine maidens present.

Such a disparity in the number of gaps!

It's really... too insane, too tragic!

As a decent person, Liu Yun's sense of justice surged involuntarily, and he deeply felt that this ceremony was really absurd and contrary to human relations, and needed to be deeply criticized.Even if it doesn't hurt the lives of innocent people, it fully deserves the word "evil".
