??It can be said that if you don’t check, you won’t know. If you check, you will be shocked.
The island-wide investigation started after Oniichi was killed and dismembered, and the initial results shocked the island country's officials.
Strange and evil spirits disappeared suddenly, and monsters began to appear in the corners of the countryside. The mountain temple began to become efficacious. The most terrifying thing is that it was used to protect the safety of the emperor, one of the three artifacts.
The Yata Mirror was suddenly lost.
In the past two days, the entire island nation has been extremely busy. As a high-level priest, Makoto Hirakawa is qualified to not be on constant alert with the lower-level priests at Ise Shrine during non-special times.
After a hard night and being driven back to Inari Taisha Shrine, as usual, he went to the side hall to worship the Inari God who had been wronged and moved from the main hall. He raised his legs and stepped over the door railing. The scene in front of him made Makoto Hirakawa curl up in the sleeves of his hunting clothes.
Zhong's hands clenched tightly.
The girl wearing a blue miko uniform was sitting with her back to him in her usual place of worship. There were several fluffy pink tails lying on the floor, as well as pink animal ears in the hair on her head. The strange behavior made people unable to understand at all.
Ignoring their existence. But it was so obvious that he was in a daze for a moment when he entered the door, as if he saw his first love in his eyes.
It was like a young boy wanting to take out his heart and lungs when he saw the goddess in his dream. Fortunately, he was able to wake up from the intoxication with the blessing of the Dragon God.
"I am almost 80 years old, and I still experience the impulse of a little boy. It's really..."
This feeling is not bad, but for an elderly person, too intense mental activities put a bit of serious pressure on the body. He took a long breath, and slowly waited for the intense heart rate to return to normal, while looking at him from behind.
Look at this strange girl.
Different from the orthodox miko costume, the blue miko costume worn by the figure in front of me is made of sparse and thin fabric, more like the cosplay that young people love nowadays. The color of the pink tail is a bit weird, but the fluffy fluff style and the number nine
, in the bottom of his heart, Hirakawa Makoto was sure that the other party was a fox demon.
After all, there are only two types of animals that are widely known to have many tails, the nine-tailed fox and the nine-tailed cat.
Nine-tailed fox, I thought back to what Shenzi had said before, that Lord Dragon God notified some ghosts and gods of the cooperation with Shinto. Hirakawa Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, walked into the side hall and sat down slowly: "My old eyes are dim and I don't have the first time."
It’s really rude to recognize Tamamozen-sama’s true identity, so please forgive me!”
"Yes." The petite figure turned his head and glanced at Hirakawa Makoto, and the clear and clear voice of a girl echoed in his ears: "I have been observing you at Inari Taisha Shrine for some time, Hirakawa Makoto."
"Yes." Makoto Hirakawa showed slight surprise in his eyes, and then lowered his head respectfully. He repeatedly told himself not to be deceived by the young appearance in front of him. This guy came from the east across the ocean and survived for thousands of years.
The great demon Tamamo Mae was discovered thousands of years ago by the Abe family's onmyoji, and he killed nearly 300,000 soldiers, onmyojis, priests and monks in the pursuit. With the power of a demon, he almost overturned the original mystery.
boundary.
It was also later that the commander-in-chief Miurasuke ordered that the pursuing army sacrifice 200,000 people. All the demon subduers spent their whole life training and launched Master Jianzhen's magic arrows to kill Tamamo Mae. But after that, the corpse turned into
The killing stones were still poisonous. It was not until the first-generation abbot of Aizu Gengenji Temple, the monk Genou, that the killing stones were successfully destroyed. The destroyed killing stones were scattered throughout the island country, and the harm of Tamamo-mae was finally gradually erased.
It can be said that among the eight million gods, except for the fictional and exaggerated parts and the little demons that ordinary people can catch and beat up, among the remaining demons and ghosts, Tamamo-mae can definitely be ranked first.
Even some of the great gods who receive worship may not be able to compare with her.
Such a great demon, even if he is faced with Saori Godson, if he does not use the power bestowed by the Dragon God, he will probably be bullied. A bad old man like him is being taken care of... Hirakawa Makoto is kidding
He twitched his lips and revealed a bitter smile.
"Why do you look so sad? Don't be misled by the legend! I'm not a man-eating fox demon!" Covering her mouth lightly, the nine-tailed girl laughed sweetly.
"Well, seeing that you are so scared, I won't tease you anymore." There was a bored and disgusted expression on his palm-sized face, and he grabbed his tail with one hand and said softly: "The one who will lead me and some heroic spirits, the big demon
, the gods and demons awaken from their slumber. As a price, we are restrained from taking any action except under special circumstances, and we have to help mankind during the upcoming Bon Festival. - For you fickle guys, who
How merciful!"
"However, although there are two conditions stipulated, the person only asked us to achieve it without any more detailed regulations. I say this, little old man, you should be able to understand this, right?"
It's just a secret operation within the scope of the rules. He doesn't know how many times he has seen this kind of thing. The first thought that came to his mind was to refuse, but then he thought about it. It's impossible that Lord Dragon God didn't think of such a loophole. He must have thought about it.
But there won't be too bad consequences, and loopholes will be left for these ghosts and gods to take advantage of.
This is the advantage of having a big boss behind you. When things happen, you don’t need to panic like other kingdoms. You will not suffer any loss if you follow the command.
"Isn't it customary for your Shinto people to consecrate ghosts and gods? I need an identity, and... this shrine is very good now. Anyway, there's no telling whether that guy Inari wakes up. Even if he wakes up, he can't beat me -
—When the time comes, as the god enshrined in the shrine, I will naturally protect you. What do you think?"
"Also, you have to think carefully before you speak! After all, the ones who were resurrected were not just good-wife-like monsters like me, but also Kiyohime, Shuten, Ibaraki, and especially Oda Nobunaga!"
"Yeah...."
Makoto Hirakawa was not as relaxed about Tamamo Mae's playful and cute remarks, and even his joking remarks. Forget about the big youkai, the demon kings on the sixth day were all resurrected by the Dragon God, although there was a rule that they were not allowed to take action unless under special circumstances.
There are restrictions, but people know that there are opportunities to exploit loopholes in any rules. Isn’t the upcoming Bon Festival a good special situation?
In particular, Hirakawa Makoto guessed that in addition to the ones mentioned by Tamamo-mae, there were also a large number of gods and demons who had not distinguished between good and evil resurrected.
