The whole world knows that I crossed

The layout style of the reception room is completely unified with that of the entire Enma Temple, which is a very traditional Japanese style.

There is a long low table in the middle of the room, and the ruler of Huangquan, once the goddess of creation in Japan, and now the great god of Huangquanjin, Izanami, sits at the end of the short table, smiling and watching the people entering the room one by one. everyone.

This goddess has long, thick and soft brown-orange hair, which is simply pulled into two slightly curly ponytails behind her head.

Except for the bun on the head and the hair rope used to tie the ponytail, Izanami's hair has no other decorations, and it looks extremely simple.

The dress of the goddess is not very solemn and luxurious, it seems to be just everyday clothes, but there are two pink pompom-shaped earrings hanging on the earlobe of the goddess, which makes the lord of the underworld look a little less As the majesty of Huang Quanjin, it is a bit more girly and playful, and it is paired with those eyes that are absolutely not human beings, and the entire pupil is glowing with a light orange glow. Strange eyes made up of light whites...

how to say.

Yato, who saw the legendary goddess of creation for the first time, said that the gap between this and his imagination is a bit too big!

The black-haired god tried his best to suppress the twitching corners of his mouth.

"You don't have to be cautious, please take your seat."

It was still Ghost Lantern who greeted everyone.

The black-haired ghost consciously took a seat on the left hand side of the goddess, and raised his hand to invite everyone.

Qiao Wen and Bawei looked at each other, and under the sign of the demon fox's eyes, even though Qiao Wen still wanted to sit on Izanami's right hand side, in the end he obediently listened to Bawei's words and sat down a few feet lower. At one end, it was facing Izanami a short distance away.

Bawei and Yato sat on both sides of Qiao Wen.

Although there was no sound, this approach has silently conveyed the will of the two protectors.

Seeing this, the pretty orange-haired goddess raised her eyebrows slightly.

Her complexion is extremely white, her red lips are delicate, and when she speaks with a smile, she will show two small and sharp fangs from time to time—that is one of the characteristics of the hell-dwelling ghost race.

"You don't need to be so vigilant, envoy, and... oh? Is it a disaster god? This is a rare guest. With such a strong sense of killing, the ghost lamp will allow you to step into this world?"

Since Yetou dared to step into the underworld, he was naturally prepared to have his identity broken.

What's more, he has known Ba Wei for many years, and Ba Wei naturally knows his details. As for Qiao Wen...

The black-haired god couldn't help but look at the other party's reaction, but found that the other party's reaction was no response at all—as if he didn't hear what Izanami just said at all, or even though he heard it clearly, he didn't respond to it. It seems like they don't know anything.

Ye Dou calmed down slightly.

"I'm sorry, I haven't formally greeted you. My name is Yato. Although I am a god, I am actually an unknown person. I stepped into the underworld rashly today to protect my friends. I did it as a last resort. I hope you will accommodate me."

He bowed his head, and with an unprecedented gesture and tone, he paid homage to the goddess of Huangquan in front of him.

Izanami's reaction was completely unexpected by Yato.

The goddess didn't seem offended by his presence.

She is still smiling slightly, and looks completely different from the rumors, and even as Ghost Lantern said before, "It's not self-willed, in fact, it's even a very easy-going woman."

"This matter can be decided by the ghost lamp, and I have no intention of overturning his decision."

The goddess nodded.

Although it was just a few very simple words, it showed her absolute trust in the first assistant officer of King Yan Mo named Ghost Lantern.

"Besides, the guest I invited this time has such a special status. As his friend, whether it's you or the Fox God Envoy over there, it's understandable to be worried. What's there to blame?"

Izanami showed gentleness and understanding far beyond Yato's imagination.

With a faint smile on the corner of the mouth of the legendary goddess who made Izanaki's heart palpitate, she dismissed Yato with a few words, and then turned her gaze to her guest—that is, Qiao Wen:

"We finally meet, my guest. I have limitations, and I can't leave Huangquan like an ordinary prison guard. I can only invite you into the underworld to meet me. As a living person, you must have some concerns about this trip, but Don't worry, no one here will hurt you."

With a soft voice, Izanami made a promise to Qiao Wen.

"You must have heard from Ghost Lantern that I invited you to be a guest in the next world this time, but there are some things that I want to discuss with you face to face."

"—About the prophecy?"

Because the image of the beautiful goddess Izanah in front of her completely overlapped with the image Qiao Wen had seen in the ghost lamp story, Qiao Wen did not show any fear or restraint when facing the ruler of the underworld.

Even compared to Yato and Bawei who are always on guard and have no intention of relaxing even after receiving the promise from the goddess, he is a human being who seems more relaxed and generous.

In the eyes of Yato and Bawei, this is called fearlessness for those who don't know, or in layman's terms, stupid and bold (==).

But in the eyes of Izanami and Gui Deng, this means being courageous, or fearless in the face of danger, neither humble nor overbearing.

Obviously, such an attitude made Izanami appreciate it very much.

She smiled slightly:

"Yes, because of the prophecy."

"I know Ghost Lamp asked you the same question before, but now, I still have to ask it again."

Izanami looked slightly solemn.

"Human youth, Qiao Wen, what do you think of the 'prophecy'?"

Qiao Wen was slightly startled when he heard this.

"If it's this question," he thought for a while before answering, "my answer is still the same as when I answered Mr. Ghost Lamp - I believe in the existence of 'prophecy', but I can't make 'prophecy'."

This is his attitude towards prophecy, and it has never changed.

I thought Izanami would be disappointed when she heard the words, but the goddess blinked, suddenly raised her sleeves, covered her red lips lightly, and laughed softly...

Qiao Wen:? ? ?

"What are you laughing at?" he asked blankly.

The goddess rolled down her wide sleeves, still with a pleasant smile on her face.

"If so, then things will be simple."

As Izanami said, she pulled out a blank piece of paper from her sleeve, and gently folded it on the table.

"This is a 'prophecy' that I came across by chance some time ago."

As the goddess said, she waved her sleeves slightly, and the white paper immediately flew into the air and flew to Qiao Wen.

Qiao Wen looked at the goddess on the opposite side, and then at the two protectors beside her.

Bawei frowned.

He didn't expect things to develop like this at all. Now he doesn't know what kind of medicine is sold in Izanami's gourd, and he can't rashly disobey the goddess and prevent Qiao Wen from reading the prophecy, so he can only frown. Nodding, she agreed with Qiao Wen to read the prophecy according to the goddess' intention.

Yato's reaction was similar.

Now the goddess just wanted to show Qiao Wen the content of the prophecy, and it was really not his turn to object to it with Bawei.

The two looked at Qiao Wen with slightly worried eyes, reaching out to take the piece of paper on which the prophecy was written.

Qiao Wen glanced slowly across the paper, and gradually, his expression became serious...

Without the permission of the goddess, Bawei and Yato could not rush to look at the content on the paper. Seeing Qiao Wen's gradually dignified expression, the two looked at each other and reached a certain tacit understanding in an instant.

At this moment, Izanami's voice sounded again, still with a gentle smile:

"If you are undecided, you can also share the content of the prophecy with your two friends."

Qiao Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

He immediately spread out the paper on the table, while Bawei and Yato didn't care about being rude, leaning closer from left to right to read the prophecy written on the paper——

It was clearly written in black and white, but the moment the line of sight came into contact with the words, the handwriting became blurred, and slowly, it was blurred into a picture scroll like an ink painting.

On the scroll, it can be seen that somewhere in hell, on the edge of the barren wilderness, some kind of strange distortion seems to be happening.

At the same time, a huge vortex also began to flash around in the picture, involving the wilderness of hell and the sky.

In the vortex and distortion, one can vaguely see that the other side seems to be connected to some other space, where there is a scene completely different from hell, with dilapidated streets and neat houses, and some wearing white spiritual clothes, obviously The dead, but the pedestrians who are not in the state of torture are walking leisurely on the street...

Similarly, the dead, streets, and houses on the other side were also swallowed by the sudden vortex and distortion. It seemed that the worlds on both sides were merging with each other, or swallowing each other, or they were all swallowed by another unknown place with...

Even in the underworld, this completely unimaginable scene was staged one after another in the picture scroll, until finally, the picture slowly disappeared, and the previously blurred handwriting returned to the paper and gradually became clear——

【Servant of the gods

he was a wild fox

the presence of change

Friends of the Fox]

The handwriting gradually became clear, and gradually blurred again.

This time the blurred handwriting turned into a picture.

In the familiar courtyard of the Mikage Shrine, Qiao Wen was playing with the kuro cards and the ghost fire boys in the courtyard.

Not far away, Ba Wei was sitting under a tree, with the paperwork that had just been processed in his hand, holding a teacup, and watching them softly...

The demon fox's expression changed several times.

"What do you mean?" He turned his head and looked at the ghost lamp and the beautiful goddess Izanami, "'The existence of change is the friend of the fox'? Do you doubt the vortex that is devouring Huangquan in this so-called 'prophecy'? And the distortion was caused by Jowin? 'Change'?"

So what do you want to do now?Get rid of Qiao Wen and kill this "change" at the source? !

The purple fox eyes narrowed slightly, and the demon fox instantly gathered all the strength in his body, turned slightly sideways, and stood in front of Qiao Wen.

Ye Dou's mind was confused, and he didn't understand the connection between those pictures and that paragraph of text at all, but after listening to Bawei's guess, he also realized it instantly. While taking a breath, his reaction was not slower than Bawei's No matter how many times he went up, he followed Qiao Wen to protect him behind him.

A few short faces across, the orange-haired goddess chuckled as if it was very interesting.

"Oh? Are you going to challenge me?"

Although she still had that smiling, gentle and casual appearance, a certain coercion suddenly sank in the air, and it only took a moment for Ba Wei and Yato to change their expressions at the same time.

"In Huangquan, challenge me who is the ruler of Huangquan?"

The goddess stood up while speaking, her long orange hair fluttered unscientifically behind her, which seemed to represent her not very good mood at the moment.

Bawei and Yato didn't say a word, but from their tense bodies, it could be seen that they were under tremendous pressure.

Just when the atmosphere was getting stiff and almost on the verge of breaking out...

"Izanami, at this time, stop joking with them."

The sound of the ghost lamp rang out, piercing the rigid tension in the room almost instantly.

"Ba Wei-jun, even if you care about it, you will be chaotic. I also think that with your thinking, you shouldn't think things in this direction."

The black-haired ghost said, and even sighed in disappointment.

"'Change' does not mean that the change is caused by Mr. Qiao Wen, but that this chaotic situation will be changed by his appearance..."

"So, to invite him to come to Huangquan this time, we are going to give him a commission—"

As he said that, Ghost Lamp's eyes fell on the human youth who was blocked by Bawei and Yedou together——

"As the prophesied 'reformer', change this turmoil that may cause unpredictable damage to the underworld..."

"Mr. Qiao Wen, do you accept this commission?"
