The stone steps leading up the mountain have been built for who knows how long.
The mottled moss on the stone steps looks like a special pattern, but both the boss and the maid know that these stone steps are not precious stones.
After passing through the vermilion torii gate, and then climbing up about a hundred steps, this extremely long staircase is completed.
The sun has not yet emerged from the mountains, but the sky is already slightly bright. After finally reaching the mountainside where the shrine is located, Luo Qiu looked back... The village below has become very small.
.
The appearance of the shrine is not much different from what Luo Qiu imagined. There is a box placed in front, probably used to contain the tribute money of worshipers. As for the left side, there is a wooden fence with hanging
Lots and lots of wooden signs.
New Year's prayers.
The villagers of Zaodao Village would come to worship every New Year, and then write down their prayers for the coming year and hang them here. Luo Qiu seemed to be very interested, so he walked directly to the wooden fence and watched it carefully.
It's getting daylight.
Early in the morning, it is officially the quietest time. However, some birds that live in groups in the mountains and forests suddenly rush into the sky in groups from the distant mountains and forests.
"So many crows." You Ye seemed a little unhappy as she watched them move away.
After all, the crow of a crow is not as good as an oriole's call, and in people's inherent concepts, it seems to represent something unknown. But for the owner and maid of the club, there is no such thing as an ominous thing. So...
It can only be described as not beautiful.
Luo Qiu just smiled. After reading the prayers on the signs hanging on the wooden railings, he walked directly to the front of the shrine and suddenly said interestingly: "People worship the gods in order to obtain blessings. If we also
If we go to worship, I wonder if someone can bless us."
Blessing for what? Perhaps even being brave enough to show up is a question.
You Ye shook his head slightly, and Luo Qiu stopped the topic, and then looked at the bell hanging in front. After people put down their tribute money, they would sincerely shake the bell here, and there are even requirements for the number of times. Everything has a certain
Set up a rigorous and pious process.
"who are you?"
The person who made the inquiry was the shrine maiden responsible for guarding the shrine, walking from the other side of the wooden fence where the prayer board was placed. There was also a stone paved path on the opposite side, which seemed to lead to the back of the shrine.
The miko was young, wearing a plain kimono, and holding a small wooden bucket in her hand. Her hair seemed very long, almost hanging down to her heels, but it was wet at this time.
Boss Luo's eyesight is very good, and the maid's eyesight is also good, so he can easily see the trace of moisture on the witch's body.
Maybe it just finished rinsing.
Luo Qiu looked at the witch and nodded, smiling: "Hello."
A look of confusion flashed across the witch's face, but she nodded at the same time and walked slowly over with the barrel. She was a little surprised because the clothes of the man and woman were unusually weird.
But the witch has also encountered weirder and even unbelievable things. So she was curious, but not too surprised, and asked, "Are you from other villages?"
Already getting closer, with the help of the brighter light in the sky, the witch has been able to clearly see the appearance of the man and woman. She has grown up on this land since she was a child, and has a deep memory of the people in this land, whether they are strangers or not.
Recognized at a glance.
"Just passing by." Luo Qiu nodded.
This miko is very young, even younger than she was five years ago, so her body is also very petite, as petite as a girl who cannot grow up.
But her hair was really long... black hair, which looked straight because of washing, and water was still dripping from the ends of her hair. She was even more confused, but she still said politely: "Are you going to worship?"
"No." Luo Qiu shook his head, "I want to be blessed, but the gods may not be able to give it to me."
The miko was surprised and opened her mouth slightly. In front of the shrine and the guarding miko, saying such a thing seemed to be an ungodly and disrespectful thing.
She should be angry...but she's not.
She looked at the sky and knew that it was very early, so she was puzzled by the man and woman who came up at this time. It took a long time to walk up from the bottom of the mountain. So they might have come up before dawn.
...or even earlier.
"Since you don't want to worship, then please do so." In the end, the witch didn't intend to blame the two for their disrespect for the gods, but her attitude was a little colder.
But she was really too young, so her coldness didn't look like an iceberg, but rather something like anger.
"Can I walk around?" Boss Luo thought for a while, "I won't touch anything here casually... I promise."
"Do it yourself." The witch said calmly, then glanced at Luo Qiu and suddenly said: "But you'd better leave this place as soon as possible."
"Surely it's because I didn't go to worship?" Luo Qiu asked apologetically.
But the witch shook her head, "It is very dangerous for a man to stay in this village...especially if you are from another village."
"Danger?"
"That's all." The miko picked up the bucket again and walked through the front door into the shrine.
Luo Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the door that was finally closed. If it was dangerous, the prayer signs hanging on the wooden fence next to it were probably more dangerous, right?
"I wonder how prepared Alex is." Boss Luo said abruptly.
Youye said softly: "Erics only needs us to contain one of the people he thinks is to preserve more true souls in this pseudo world. Since the requirements are not high, naturally we need to make more preparations.
"
Boss Luo smiled and looked at the position of the stone steps leading up, "The first one to come... turned out to be him."
…
A shadow ran quickly on the steep stone steps.
The bright red robe, silver-white hair...it was Zhui Feng who was carrying a half-demon in this world. But Zhui Feng was obviously not the only one. He was also carrying an unconscious woman on his back.
.
I always find injured and unconscious guys when I go out. Zhui Feng also feels quite helpless. The last time it was Zixing, because he sensed the weak monster power in Zixing. As a monster, Zhui Feng naturally cannot treat him as an ordinary person.
Treat, ignore and ignore.
As for this time... this unconscious and injured woman doesn't seem to be an ordinary person.
"Is anyone here?"
Just after reaching the end of the stone steps, Zhui Feng shouted quickly. The reason why he came to this place was because of some memories left in his body.
"Is anyone here?" Zhui Feng took a few steps closer and shouted again to the door of the shrine. At this time, the ears on his head twitched slightly.
Because he heard the sound of footsteps and sure enough, not long after, a young miko wearing a white kimono with hair that was not yet dry opened the door.
"Inuyasha..."
Zhui Feng's ears were so sensitive that he easily heard the name that the miko said in a very soft voice. However, the miko also frowned and seemed a little unhappy, "Inuyasha, why are you still here?"
Come? I have already said...who is the person behind you?"
Zhui Feng didn't know what the relationship was between Inuyasha and this miko. He only came here with the guidance of his body memory. Of course, he also had some ideas of discovering clues to this bizarre incident.
"I don't know him either." Zhui Feng shook his head and said, "I picked it up on the road. He was seriously injured and has passed out. Can you help take a look at it?"
The witch tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded, "Bring her in."
Zhui Feng hurriedly carried the person around the sacrificial box and walked into the shrine. But he just put the person down. Before he had time to take a closer look at the interior of the shrine, he heard the voice of the witch, "Just put the person down.
, you can go out."
The other party's attitude was a bit too tough, and Zhui Feng had an idea of retreat for some reason... a mentality that he himself felt incredibly scared.
strangeness.
Until the miko closed the door and Zhuifeng sat alone on the wooden ladder in front of the door, he still felt very confused... Maybe Inuyasha was originally afraid of this woman?
Zhuifeng was a little confused and looked around boredly, and saw many signs hanging on the wooden fence next to him. Because he was too bored, he walked up, rubbed his chin and tilted his head to look at it, "What are you writing about?"
Things...'The next year...a good harvest', 'I hope to be born...a son'? This word means son, right?"
Not long after, a miko's voice suddenly came from the shrine, "Inuyasha!"
Zhui Feng quickly approached, but the door still didn't open. He could only listen from a distance and asked, "Is something the matter?"
"Where did you meet this woman?"
"On the way." Zhui Feng thought for a while: "On the way to the village...by the way, is this woman hopeless?"
"She won't die for the time being, but she's seriously injured. And she seems..."
"What does it look like?" Uncle Zhuifeng, the leader of the Zhuifeng Youth League, was burning with gossip.
But there was no sound inside the door, but the sound of footsteps was heard.
Zhui Feng curiously put his ear to the door, wanting to listen more carefully. Unexpectedly, the door was opened suddenly. Zhui Feng could only take two steps back in embarrassment, "I didn't eavesdrop!"
"As expected, you are still stubborn and ungrateful." The witch's voice had a hint of sullenness.
Zhui Feng was shocked. Of course, the sullen voice didn't scare him, but what the woman was holding made him feel dangerous!
This is a long bow that the woman got from somewhere, and she even has a quiver on her back... A long arrow has already been placed on the long bow, and the sharp arrow is pointing straight!
"Wait a minute, what do you want to do!"
"I said, if you dare to step into this place again, I will kill you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the witch loosened her fingers, and the sharp arrow shot out of the air, flying past Zhui Feng's face so fast that he couldn't react.
"Hey! I have no grudges with you, what do you mean?" Zhui Feng frowned!
I know how to hit humans, no matter if they are men or women!
The witch snorted coldly, took out a long arrow again, put it on it, and shot it again in an instant. This time Zhui Feng reacted, reached out without thinking, and caught the arrow in his hand. But he didn't expect the arrow shaft.
Suddenly there was a burning feeling!
it hurts!
Zhui Feng immediately threw the arrow away and glanced at his palm... there was smoke coming out, and the flesh on his palm had even been burnt and looked bloody.
"What a stupid guy... He actually dared to catch my soul-breaking arrow with his hand!" The miko said coldly: "Inuyasha, you are indeed the stupidest monster of all time!"
"Damn woman, don't think I'm afraid of you... Look at me!" Zhui Feng was obviously irritated and jumped out in an instant!
But at this moment, the witch shot another arrow... This dead woman's arrow seemed to have shot up a lot faster.
Zhui Feng twisted his body in mid-air, narrowly escaping from the arrow...but the sharp arrow also scratched his clothes. He only heard a snap, and something came from him.
His clothes were thrown away.
a book!
After Zhui Feng woke up over there, he had already put the book on his body.
But Zhui Feng still cared about this kind of thing. He just felt that this dead woman's arrow was too dangerous, so he quickly distanced himself and looked at the other party with great vigilance.
But the witch frowned, walked out of the shrine, picked up the book on the ground, took a look at it, then looked at Zhui Feng, and asked abruptly: "What do you mean?"
"For you..." Zhui Feng had just finished speaking, and he was instantly stunned that these words came out of his mouth and were not what he wanted to say.
"You...you still remember?" The witch took another look, but her expression seemed a little complicated.
"Uh... um!" Zhui Feng nodded, seeing that the other party seemed to want to stop because of this book.
Zhui Feng was naturally not stupid, so he simply nodded generously, "Well, I've been carrying it with me, probably...no, just to bring it to you!"
The miko didn't say anything, she took the book and put down the long bow in her hand, reincarnated and walked towards the shrine.
"Wait a minute, what do you mean?"
She turned her head and looked back, and said calmly: "Go away, don't come back again...if you come again, I will kill you!"
"Wait a minute, I have something to ask you!" Zhui Feng asked quickly: "Have you ever seen someone named Zixing? She is probably about the same height as you, and by the way, she is also very beautiful!"
"roll!"
A sharp arrow was instantly nailed to Zhui Feng's feet, and the arrow even continued to exude a terrifying aura that made Zhui Feng tremble!
Zhuifeng swallowed subconsciously, but saw that the door of the shrine was closed at this time, so he quietly moved his feet... This damn woman is so scary!
Zhui Feng disturbed his head, simply backed away, and then quickly left this place. Ever since he woke up, he had had a strange thought in his mind, but after the book had been sent, this strange thought disappeared.
He immediately felt much more comfortable, and he didn't mind being forced back by this damn woman... As for the life or death of the woman he picked up, he naturally didn't care even more.
