Chapter 31: Queen of Water
"Kora-chan, I feel like there's something different about you."
After changing her clothes, Miyoko completed the final purification ceremony with the help of Kong Huan.
Today, she is in the best condition, both physically and mentally.
"Has it been discovered?"
Kong Huan returned to her stable fox fairy state. She did not talk about the picture scrolls, but instead focused her improvement on the art of controlling gods.
No matter how good her relationship with Miyoko is, she is still Gu Yun's fox.
Kong Huan has a clear grasp of his own position.
She wanted to protect Gu Yun, so she could not reveal the master's information under any circumstances without his permission.
Miyoko was not dissatisfied with this, but felt relieved.
"Oh? Don't say anything?"
Miyoko covered her mouth and chuckled: "Kora-chan has done a good job of protecting her seriously, so from now on Kotani Yun, I will have to rely on you."
"Um."
Kong Huan and Miyako arrived at the dojo of the Mizui family. Gu Yun, his grandfather, and Mizui's mother-in-law were already waiting here.
I saw grandpa wearing Shinto hunting clothes, like a respected elderly priest, just sitting there, which gave people an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.
"Sister Miyoko."
Gu Yun also put on new clothes, a small white fasting suit, which was worn by priests during ceremonies.
"Um."
Miyoko stepped forward and sat in the center of the dojo.
The candlelight flickered, and a complex magic circle was engraved on the floor, surrounded by ropes tied with imperial coins.
"Are you ready?"
In front of Miyoko was Tianhu Konghuan. At this time, Miss Tianhu was also standing in the magic circle. She held the Kagura bell in her hand and slowly assumed a dancing posture.
"let's start."
"Dingling~"
Grandpa and Grandma Sanchui sat on their knees at the edge of the magic circle. Following Miss Tianhu's bell, Grandma Sanchui began to chant the incantation.
This mantra is like an ancient Japanese song. The voice of Granny Mitsui is timeless and melodious. Along with the rhythm of Kagura bells and Miss Tianhu's dancing, the entire dojo feels like being in a strange illusion.
"The gods living in Takamagahara, due to the order of the Emperor God, eight million gods gathered together and discussed several times. As a result of the deliberations, the Emperor Sun ordered to rule the Mizuho Kingdom of Toyoweihara and establish a peaceful and stable country, but the commission
In the country ruled by Emperor Sun Ming, there are disobedient gods..."
Grandpa took out a piece of paper filled with congratulations from his arms, and then began to recite it quickly.
Time, space, even candlelight and shadows are getting brighter and brighter.
"Um?"
Gu Yun noticed something was wrong: "It's not that the candlelight has become brighter, but that the sky has become darker!"
It was dark. It was daytime one second ago, but suddenly it became pitch black, just like the darkest moment in Japanese legend, when you encounter a demon.
"what happened?"
"Why is it so dark?"
At this moment, the residents of the Mizugawa area raised their heads blankly and looked at the dim sky.
I saw the mist of air covering the dusk, like a piece of white paper splashed with oil paint, turning it into the world-famous painting "Starry Moon Night".
The eyes of the residents gradually became blank, as if they were frozen in the gap between the real world and the hidden world as the moment of encountering evil approached.
"Ding bell~~"
"jingle!"
Theoretically speaking, if you want to have a direct conversation with the gods, you must first perform a ritual to invite the gods.
But asking God is never easy.
Even if the official warlocks and mages want to do this, they need dozens or hundreds of people to sing together for a whole day to make it possible for the sun and moon to change and light and darkness to reverse.
However, here, just a few people have accomplished great things that others cannot imagine.
"coming."
Almost at the same time, Grandpa and Granny Sanchui opened their eyes and stared solemnly ahead.
"Dingling~"
Miss Tianhu stopped moving, and Grandpa immediately said in a deep voice: "Gu Yun, open the realm of spiritual vision and pull us in!"
Spiritual vision not only allows one to transcend realms, but also creates an independent barrier, like a domain, covering a certain range.
"Snapped!"
Gu Yun clasped his hands together and activated the spiritual power in his body. The special 'vision' brought by the spiritual vision technique connected everyone present.
Kong Huan doesn't need it, not only because of her connection with Gu Yun, but also because she has become the Inari God and is qualified to look directly at her own kind.
"Boom!"
"Hmm~"
Cold sweat broke out on Miyoko's forehead. She covered her heart, as if something was about to burst out of her body, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
"This is?"
Moving her gaze upward, Miyoko felt that the wall in front of her disappeared and was replaced by an endless blue sea.
On the sea, a light blue figure slowly appeared from the virtual to the real.
This is a female god. She wears a nine-dragon golden crown on her head, holds a snake in her left hand, and a flower in her right hand. She sits on a vast and boundless giant whale.
"It doesn't look like this..."
Grandpa seemed to recognize the identity of this female god, but he was not sure, so he said to Gu Yun: "Don't use spiritual vision to change the body and soul. Focus it on your eyes and see where she comes from."

【Suzuka Gozen】
Awakening mission: contact five dragon-shaped demons and gods (3/5)
The sudden picture scroll reminder, but Gu Yun had no time to pay attention to it now. He wanted to focus on the god in front of him.
"she is…"
Gu Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, and his dark eyes turned silver in an instant. At the same time, the honorific title of this god came to mind: "Queen of Water? Grandpa, her name is Queen of Water."
"It's a bit troublesome."
Obviously, Miss Tianhu also knows the origin of this goddess: "Those idiots from the Sanchui family dare to make a deal with Twelve Heavens. They are crazy!"
"You guys, why are you calling my name?"
At this time, Shui Tianhou opened her eyes. She was first attracted by a silvery shimmer.
But before she could look over, Kong Huan had already stood between her and Gu Yun, blocking her sight.
"Oh, are you a god? A real god."
Queen Shui Tian saw the golden light radiating from Miss Tianhu, and at some point, Kong Huan was covered in a pale golden feather, like a goddess from the divine world, holy and pure.
"Unknown Inari God, why did you summon me?"
"My name is Tianhu Konghuan."
Miss Tianhu bowed to Queen Shui and said, "I want to make a deal with you."
"Please say."
Both parties are gods and equal beings.
If an ordinary mortal dared to talk to a god like this, Queen Water would definitely be angry.
"I want to protect this child from your hands. Please lift the curse on her."
Looking at Miyako in the illusion, Shui Tianhou pondered for a while and said, "Okay, what are you willing to exchange for it?"
"What do you want?"
Kong Huan breathed a sigh of relief, she was not afraid of anything else, she was just afraid that Queen Shui would not eat anything.
As long as she is willing to talk to him, then yes.
"he!"
Shui Tianhou pointed at Miss Tianhu, but Kong Huan knew that what she wanted was not herself, but...
"Please, don't joke."
As gods, Kong Huan is not afraid of Queen Shui. They are of the same level. If they really fight, neither side will have an easy time.
"The young man is like a diamond, what a beautiful treasure, so enviable."
"This is impossible!"
Kong Huan immediately refused. If it wasn't for Miyoko, she might have rushed over and hit him.
She is Gu Yun's patron saint, and coveting him is a taboo for Miss Tianhu.
"Boom~~"
The blue sea is rolling, and the Queen of Waters will stop talking nonsense.
"It doesn't matter, I can just get it myself!"
In an instant, several blue water dragons condensed in the air and pounced on everyone with the force of a stormy wave.
"Has this guy been targeting him from the beginning?"
Obviously, the negotiation failed. The other party is not an easy person to talk to, and is quite self-righteous and an extremely willful god.
If that's the case, then there's no need for them to be polite.
I respect you as a god, so I invite you here, but if you are a bad visitor, treat me like a monster over there!
"Iijima, Pillar Girl, raise the barrier."
After Miss Tianhu finished speaking, Grandpa and Grandma Sanchui immediately reached out and drew in front of them. The powerful spiritual power was like a sharp blade, separating this different space.
"Boom~~"
Pure white rays of light rose into the sky, and they quickly condensed into a translucent barrier.
This line is the line of boundary.
Ahead is the realm of Queen Shui, and this realm ends with the two old men. Their bodies are used as walls, doors, and barriers to separate and seal off the realm.
"Ding bell~~"
The Kagura bell rang again, Kong Huan exerted his magical power, and the golden wheat ears turned into farmland, and the vermilion torii rose out of thin air: "Inari·Fox Hunting World!"
"Boom!"
The water dragon hit the barrier, but was counteracted by the illusory divine power. Queen Shui frowned slightly, obviously not expecting that an unknown Inari God would have the power to stop her.
"You are too presumptuous!"
Kong Huan's expression was ugly. She originally wanted to resolve the matter peacefully.
But now it seems that this matter cannot be settled without a fight.
"That's fine!"
Konghuan's eyes turned into beast eyes: "Then I'll use brute force to defeat you!"
"Miss Hongye, little Prajna, please protect my little master."
"Wow~~"
The red leaves rotated like a hurricane and fell from the sky. In the dark fire, two ghost faces made a terrifying laugh.
"Please feel free to leave it to us, Miss Tianhu."
Around Gu Yun, the ghost girls Hongye and Hannya protect their master under their own power.
Their power cannot directly touch Queen Water.
Beings like gods don't have strong attack power, but their immunity and resistance are amazing.
If they focus on avoiding monsters, even big monsters will be unable to do anything to them.
"demon?"
On the other side, Shuitianhou noticed Hongye and Prajna immediately.
Although Empress Shui Tian was not afraid of the two superior monsters, she felt disgust from the bottom of her heart: "Associating with monsters, Inari God, have you fallen?"
"Shut up, you idiot water god!"
"What?"
Shui Tianhou has never seen such a vulgar god. For a moment, she was a little stunned: "Rude guy, can you be considered a god?"
"Haha? What kind of bullshit gods, I don't even bother to associate with you!"
Kong Huan said that he was originally a false god, and in the eyes of those high gods in Gao Tianyuan, he was no different from a country girl.
But this village girl has a bad temper and big fists.
