"The Kagura just now...should come from the mortal world." Yu Yanjin's voice was a little hesitant.

"The mortal world?! How is it possible? You have been asleep for many years. Even if you have left divine power in the mortal world, you still cannot play the kagura bell of the Inari Shrine." Huang Zai retorted after being surprised.

Yu Yanjin thought for a moment, and explained to Huang, "When my consciousness was also asleep, I heard the voice of a mortal believer. That is, he awakened my consciousness...the one who can come to the Inari God Temple with consciousness Human beings have naturally heard the kagura bells in the temple."

"Human consciousness? Can it reach the temple in Gaotianyuan?" Huang raised his brows, showing a rare expression of astonishment.

How is this possible?In the past long years, there has never been a situation where human consciousness can reach Gao Tianyuan.

"Yes..." Yu Yanjin sighed slightly, if she hadn't experienced it herself, it would be hard for her to believe this fact.

"..." After hearing Yu Yanjin's admission again, Huang told her in a very complicated mood, "Then you should have a good rest and try to recover as soon as possible. Yimulian and I left first."

"Master Huang and Lord Fengshen, go slowly." After Yu Yanjin finished speaking, Hiuya automatically followed Araki and Ichimokuren's side, and sent them away from the Inari God Temple.

After walking out of the Inari Shrine, Ara did not go back immediately, but stopped on the clouds, and looked down at the mortal world.

He hadn't looked at the mortal world so seriously for a long time. The capital of human beings has become more prosperous, the buildings have been built more exquisitely, the streets are bustling, and the bustling crowd seems to be holding some kind of grand ceremony.

The shrine floats in the middle of the crowd, and the priestesses enshrining the gods stand in it.They wear gorgeous and solemn costumes for the ceremony, and behind them are portraits of the gods they believe in.

There are also floats enshrining him in it, which looks huge and looks familiar.

The pupils as deep as the stars reflect all kinds of mortal states.The fate of those ordinary human beings is fleeting in Huang's eyes like traces of fireworks.

Human life is extremely short, and a lifetime is only a moment for a god.

Until Ara saw the "priestess" standing on the float of Inari God, the fate of the "priestess" was sometimes dim and sometimes dazzling.What surprised Huang even more was that he couldn't fail to see the fate of the "witch".

"..." Ara glanced at the portrait of Inari God Oyatsu behind the shrine maiden, and thought of what Oyatsu said before.The person who can play the Kagura of Inari Kagura is most likely that strange shrine maiden.

"This is the selection of the God Envoy Covenant being held in Mortal Kyoto." Yimulian explained.

"A covenant with a divine envoy?" Huang was a little surprised.

"It's a customary celebration for humans to pray to the gods. It was an ancient ritual once a hundred years ago, and now it is held every ten years in Kyoto."

"Ridiculous." Huang's brows darkened.

In ancient times, human beings were not so greedy, and the ancient rituals at that time were also the practice of Gao Tianyuan's gods to protect mortals.

The current covenant with the envoys is only through the number one name of the gods. How can it be as pure as the faith in the ancient rituals.

Jian Huang's expression gradually turned grim, Yi Mu Lian sighed in his heart, it seems that Master Huang's views on human beings are indeed very indifferent.So, he started another topic calmly, "Is the believer that Lord Inari said just now, the priestess on the float of Inari God?"

"I also guessed it was him." Huang looked at the mortal world again, "But there are very few human beings whose destiny I can't see."

"Master Huang can't predict his fate?" Yimulian was a little surprised.

"Yes..." Huang lowered his eyes, and after thinking for a moment, he raised his eyes and said to Yimulian, "I'm going to the underworld later, and I'll send you back to rest first."

"I can go with you."

As soon as Yimulian finished speaking, the god in charge of the fate of the stars looked a little more helpless, and his brows relaxed, "The underworld is different from Gao Tianyuan, it is a place of reincarnation, and there are countless ghosts. Your injuries have not yet Completely healed, it's not appropriate to go there."

Hearing this explanation, Yimulian no longer insisted, "Master Huang... remember to go early and return early."

-

Bai Shu complied with the wishes of the people around him and prayed for them simply.When the Kagura bell rang, it took a long time for the crowd standing around the float to recover.

"Thank you Inari-sama for your generosity—!"

"Thank you, Lord Priestess Baishu, for your blessing—!"

The shouts became louder and louder, and Bai Shu, who was surrounded in the middle, was a little at a loss listening to their excited voices.Fortunately, this time the floats can continue to pass.

Just as Bai Shu was thinking, he suddenly felt a strange gaze.He glanced left and right, but found no suspicious person.

Who would that be?

After mobilizing his consciousness, Bai Shu saw an eye above the top of the cloud, which was as deep as thousands of stars, and there was a sometimes dim and sometimes bright star trail reflected in it.

Looking closely, Bai Shu saw his own reflection.He couldn't help being startled, and came back from consciousness.Thinking in amazement, what did he just see from his consciousness?

"Mistress Bai Shu, the shrine is ahead, and the parade is coming to an end." The attendant walking ahead to open the way respectfully reminded Bai Shu.

Bai Shu breathed a sigh of relief, "Thanks for your hard work, everyone."

When the attendants heard Bai Shu's words, they were dazed and replied respectfully, "This is all the job of the subordinates."

Getting off the float, Bai Shu first saw Tamamo holding a saber standing in front of the shrine gate.

Even through the mask, Bai Shu can still read the emotions in his eyes.The mind that was a little clueless before settled down, and he slowly walked into the shrine.

Yu Zaoqian performed illusion, and others couldn't see him walking beside Baishu in a dignified manner.

Because of the delay in praying on the way, Baishu and the others were the last branch of the shrine to come back.

Bai Shu looked at the line that was already standing neatly, glanced at the end of the line, and planned to take Hua Ying and others to stand there.

"Bai Shu, your positions are here." Fujiwara Nai's voice sounded at the right time, stopping the pace of Bai Shu and others.

Bai Shu looked over following Fujiwara Nai's voice, that position was in front of Fujiwara Nai and the others, it was the first place.

"Aren't these positions arranged according to the time when they come back from the branch hall?" Bai Shu asked hesitantly.

Fujiwara shook her head and explained, "It's not arranged according to the time of return. From front to back, they are arranged according to the miracles of the branch gods and the people's beliefs."

The former Inari Shrine was indeed the last, but it is quite different now.

"Okay." Since they should stand at the top of the Inari Shrine according to the regulations, Bai Shu didn't hesitate, and they walked over with the jacaranda and stood up.

After all the candidate witches came back, it was time for voting.

The people who had been waiting outside the shrine for a long time held a thin red knot in their hands.They can put the knots in front of the priestess who supports their beliefs, and the spiritual array set in advance by the shrine is counted. Each person's knots only have one chance to count, and they cannot be faked.

Bai Shu watched the knot in front of him grow rapidly, probably because of the influence of praying, the people's enthusiasm for the Inari God Hall was high.I also have great admiration for Master Bai Shu.

Even, the number of knots tied in front of Pingzhiji in the Arakawa River God Temple, which was ranked first in the past, is not more than half of that of Baishu.

"..." Bai Shu glanced at the team at the gate of the club who couldn't see the end, the black crowd was all people who hadn't voted yet.

Now, according to this selection progress, I am afraid that he will be pushed to the first place.

Bai Shu sighed in his heart.If he couldn't avoid the outcome of his dream in the end... His eyes flickered for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal.

-

Underworld, Wangchuanhe.

This river flows quietly, from the sun to the underworld, and a long bridge spans the entire Wangchuan River.There are clusters of blue will-o'-the-wisps shining on it, illuminating the ghosts walking on it.

The bridge is called Naihe, and it is the way to cross the ghosts from the yang to the underworld.

Under the Naihe Bridge, there is a girl who is cooking soup. Her name is Meng Po. A bowl of Meng Po soup can forget all the past and let the ghosts go to reincarnation.

Beyond that, there is the extremely beautiful Bianhua that blooms beside the Wangchuan River.It is as bright as a raging fire, but it grows without seeing sunlight all year round.

Huang glanced at the appearance of the underworld. No matter how many years passed, the underworld looked the same as before.

"Ah, you are the god of Gao Tianyuan, Lord Huang, right?" Granny Meng, who was standing under the Naihe Bridge, serving soup to the ghost, saw Huang's figure and recognized the Lord God at a glance.

Back then, Lord Huang obeyed the rules of heaven and earth and came to the mortal world as a mortal, he also walked across this long bridge of Naihe.Po Meng still had a fresh memory of the scene at that time.

"It's me." Huang nodded, and then asked, "Is Yan Mo, the Lord of the Underworld, in the Underworld?"

"Lord Yan Mo has always been in the Hades Palace in the underworld. I will now inform Lord Yan Mo that Lord Huang can go directly to the Hades Hall."

After Meng Po answered, she raised her hand and drew a magic talisman in the air, and the magic talisman disappeared without a trace after being drawn.

This is a talisman specially used for communication in the underworld. There are very few ghosts on duty in the underworld. In addition to ghosts, there are other monsters in the huge underworld.

"Then I'll go to Hades Hall first." After Huang finished speaking, his figure disappeared from Granny Meng's eyes.

The Pluto Hall was not as magnificently built as Gao Tianyuan's temple, but it was more solemn.On the [-]th floor of hell, the Hall of Hades is haunted by will-o'-the-wisps.

Pluto sitting on the throne is an extremely beautiful woman. She is wearing a black and red royal attire, her eyes are closed, she is not sure if she is thinking about something or falling asleep.

When Huang stepped into Hades Hall, he saw this scene. "Long time no see, Yan Mo."

"Rare guest, Master Huang will come to my Hades Palace, is it because Gao Tianyuan has something serious?" An elegant female voice rang out.

"There is nothing wrong with Gao Tianyuan, but there are strange things in the mortal world." Huang directly explained his reason for coming, "I saw a mortal with an unknown fate in the mortal world, he can play the song of the Inari God Yujinjin Temple. Kagura. His fate is sometimes dim and sometimes bright, and I can't see the future from him."

Hearing this, Yan Mo slowly opened his eyes.Those were a pair of mysterious and majestic eyes, as if they could see into the depths of the human soul and were astounding.

"There are only two kinds of such human beings. One is the people who used to be gods and became mortals because of the rules of heaven and earth. The other is dead people, whose future is invisible."

Yan Mo's calm voice sounded in the Hall of Hades, and when Huang heard her answer like this, the light and shadow in his eyes flickered for a moment, as if he was absent-minded for a moment.

Once a god, because of the rules of heaven and earth, he became a mortal.

What a familiar story.

"I don't know which god is willing to come into the world. Judging from the fate of the mortal world, human beings will eventually suffer their own consequences and go from prosperity to decline."

"That may be the opportunity for the rules of heaven and earth to let him do this redemption." Yan Mo guessed.

"Impossible!" Huang's denial blurted out.

"..." Yan Mo's eyes were a little surprised. In the few negotiations, it was the first time that she saw the god lose his composure. "Why is it impossible? After all, didn't you come into the world because of this?"

The god in charge of the fate of the stars replied indifferently, "It is impossible for human beings to be redeemed by gods. The rules of heaven and earth should know this result."

Yan Mo looked at Huang's appearance and fell into deep thought for a while.Few people know about Lord Huang's past, and most of them choose to avoid talking about it.And she only knows part of it.

The world is suffering, the barren sea is raging, the people are in dire straits, and everywhere is desolate.So human beings prayed to God to give them the power to avoid disasters in the way of ancient sacrifices.

Therefore, the god who can predict the fate and is in charge of the fate of the stars obeyed the rules, walked across the Naihe Bridge on the Wangchuan River, and came to the world as a mortal.

Later, the disasters in the world have improved, but in the reincarnation of heaven, the disasters that should have been destined are still unavoidable, and what should come will always come.

The God of Stars, who had completed the task, was taken back to Gao Tianyuan by God Inari. So far, that noble and indifferent Master Huang has rarely cared about what happened in the mortal world.

Recovering from his memory, Yan Mo looked at Huang who was still in his Hades Palace, and said, "Then I will ask the judge to check the identity of that human being. Even if it is a god who came to the world, there will be this life in the book of life and death." Leave your name."

"Yes." Huang nodded, the only way to be sure is to be confirmed by the book of life and death.

"Judge, bring the book of life and death, and come to the Pluto Palace to meet me quickly." Yan Mo raised his hand, and a magic talisman disappeared from her hand.It's the same as Meng Po's method of interrogation.

Not long after, a man with white cloth wrapped around his eyes came in, his brows and eyes were indifferent, and he looked a little cold. "Lord Yan Mo." The words were very respectful.

"Well, open the book of life and death, and check the identity of the human being that Lord Huang said." Yan Mo signaled.

Huang then used his divine power to project the appearance of the person he saw on the cloud.

The judge took out the book of life and death that he was in charge of, and searched according to the information given by Huang.Flipping through the book of life and death, there are densely packed names of people written on it. If you look carefully with your soul consciousness, you can see that among those names are different souls one after another.

In the silent palace of Hades, only the sound of the judge flipping through the book of life and death with spiritual power remained.

After a long time, the pages in the book of life and death stopped turning, the judge withdrew his spiritual power, and replied respectfully, "I will report to Lord Yan Mo and Lord Huang, they have already found...Huh?"

Halfway through the judge's words, he suddenly looked hesitantly at the contents registered in the book of life and death.

"But. According to the book of life and death, this human being is already dead. Now he is reincarnated, and will soon enter the reincarnation of the next life."

"what?!"

"What did you say?!"

This time, besides Huang, Yan Mo was also stunned.

Even if he was watched by two pairs of divine eyes at the same time, the judge's voice remained calm, "The person Mr. Huang is looking for is already dead in this life and will be reincarnated in the next life."

"Then why can I still see him in the human world?" Huang's voice was somewhat unbelievable. "Isn't he already dead? Even a puppet controlled by puppetry has no soul."

The judge was taken aback for a moment, and replied, "This...subordinates don't know either."

"Why are there such omissions in the book of life and death?" Yan Mo frowned, "Go and find out, and send someone to the mortal world to investigate that human being."

"I'm going to inform Ghost Shihei and Ghost Shibai now." The judge said respectfully.

"No, the gate of reincarnation in the underworld is about to open now. Neither the black nor the white ghost envoys can leave, so let their disciples go." Yan Mo ordered.

The gate of reincarnation in the underworld only opens once every 100 years, and there can be no mistakes.Otherwise, it will affect the number of newborns in the world and destroy the balance.

After the judge walked out, Yan Mo looked at Huang and said, "Lord Huang, this matter should not be simple. The underworld will not be able to come up with an answer for a while, so you might as well go back to Gaotianyuan first. If it is found out, I will definitely be the first Time to send someone to notify Lord Huang."

Huang's mind flashed the advice of the gentle wind god from the underworld, without much hesitation, "Okay, then I'll go back first, and wait for your news."
