The sun shines through the thick clouds onto the dark red ocean.
In the sea at this moment, the tsunami wave has calmed down, and the whale controls more than a dozen skeleton whales, cruising in formation on the sea.
Hua Hua——
The water is rippling.
The remaining wave-waving monsters waved their huge tail fins and approached fearlessly.
The huge barb bone spurs glowing with cold light were hooked to the bottom of the blue-gray fish tail, and they were like anchors and were heading towards the queue of whales.
Because most of the Wave Wave demons were wiped out in the Kamiya River's fish bombing operation, the remaining ones no longer pose much of a threat to Kamiya's side.
It can be dealt with head on.
The skeleton whales are connected to each other, forming a "bone land" floating on the water.
Kamiya and the Aragami worked together to defend themselves against the Wave Wave Demons that were attacking from all directions. Even Inugami and Mari, whose combat effectiveness was greatly reduced after entering the water, would have no problem standing on the land of bones to carry out a defensive counterattack.
boom!
Pulling the trigger of [Banshee·Change], the cold metal fit tightly against the fingertips.
The iron pellets pierced the humid air and made a sharp whistle. The fire light erupted from the muzzle of the gun, drawing a fiery and frightening arc, and then quickly burst into a vortex of purple lightning and white light, directly hitting a wave-loving demon.
sink.
While killing one of them, another wave-waking demon swung its tail hook and rushed up to the phalanx of the whales. The shark-like elite monster had its mouth wide open, its body was huge, its muscles were brimming with wildness and wildness in its eyes.
Brutal.
Kamiyakawa did not dodge or evade, put away the banshee, and his body was stable and flexible.
When the Fulang Demon pounced, he quickly bent down and waved Yiwen with all his strength. In an instant, the blade of Minghuang Yanglei flew up from below, cutting out an elegant yet ferocious arc.
The sword came into contact with the Fulang Demon's abdomen, making a dull and violent tearing sound. The sharp blade easily penetrated the hard flesh.
Blood spurted out, and the wave-waving demon let out a painful howl. Its body stagnated for a moment, and then Kamiya knocked it down heavily on the back of the whale.
Buzzing.
The sword was withdrawn from Fulang Yao's abdomen.
Kamiya Xuezhen swung the knife, and drew Ichimonji on the haori fabric of his left hand, wiping away the remaining blood and seawater.
The gorgeous Jinhaori was stained with blood, stained with the smell of blood and a touch of red, making it even more magical.
Although it will be hard to clean the feathers when you go home later, it is very convenient to wipe the blood and the action is very cool!
There were only a dozen or so Wave Wave Demons on the sea. The first wave of attacks on the skeleton whales was blocked, and the second wave of attacks was even more disastrous.
Kamiyagawa's side successfully dealt with these remaining defeated generals with zero battle losses.
"There may be one or two fish that slipped through the water, but they should be out of the way."
Kamiya called the shikigami back to him and observed the situation of the ocean for a while.
The demonic aura of the Wave-Flowing Demon is no longer obvious here, but the strange and extraordinary aura permeating the ocean is still there.
He put away the weapon and took out the [Kabuki Puppet] from the [Mirage Bag].
Hold the puppet in your hand slightly.
Transparent threads began to form on the puppet's head, limbs, and torso.
Six items in total.
The six filaments stretched longer and longer, extending to the back of the whale.
Where the threads touched, a human figure slowly formed and stood up.
This human figure was very blurry at first, then gradually began to grow larger and clearer, and finally became as high as the Kamiya River.
With white powder on his face, sword-shaped eyebrows and star-shaped eyes, he looks like a samurai in a kabuki performance, resembling a Kusamaro.
The moment the kabuki puppet takes shape, Kamiyagawa shares its "sensory consciousness", which is in parallel with his own consciousness, as if there is an operating picture of a "drone" or other prop in his mind.
"After delaying for so many days, I finally have a chance to go down and have a look. What's down there?"
Kamiyagawa sat down on the back of the whale and controlled the "Crazy Death Man" to jump into the sea.
Golems are inherently dead and have no need for breathing, so it is just right for them to explore in the sea.
…
The puppet, pulled by the invisible silk thread, was wrapped in the salty and cold sea water, diving deeper and deeper. The sound of waves on the water gradually faded away, and the light passed through the water through the ripples, reflecting a dark and pale light.
.
The water is desolate, with only silent and solemn rocks and gravel covering the bottom of the sea, washed away by the long years and becoming lifeless and dark.
The puppets in the deep sea were exploring around and the whales on the sea were moving and diving together. It took about forty minutes for Kamiyagawa to find the goal of this trip——
It was an island sunk under the water.
In fact, it has been integrated with the rocks on the seabed and is difficult to distinguish.
But there are the remains of a building here, and you can vaguely see the underwater ruins of what was once a shrine.
Scattered with broken stone pillars and collapsed walls, this shrine should have been glorious and noble. But now the remaining architectural structure is pale and fragile, with broken statues and some decayed decorations half-buried in the surrounding sand and stone.
, being washed by the undercurrent of the deep sea, and will disappear in the ruthless waves at any time.
"The mermaid said that there used to be a shrine on Taqito Island, and it was probably here."
Kamiya used the puppet's body perception to observe the surroundings, wandered around the ruins of the shrine for a while, and found a narrow cave formed by the collapse of the building.
An adult's body cannot fit through this passage.
However, kabuki puppets can change their body shape, and the smallest shape can become about the same size as a seven or eight-year-old child.
Taking advantage of his changed body shape, Kamiya successfully squeezed into the passage.
After groping for dozens of meters in the dark passage, the water level around him dropped, and the kabuki puppet emerged from the water.
It seems that an air cavity area on the sea floor has been formed here, and there is air in the sealed environment. Of course, this is the case, or it may be because of the influence of other residual forces in the palace.
The puppet climbed out of the water and stood on the damp slate tiles of the shrine.
We should now have reached the depths of the collapsed shrine building.
"The internal structure of this shrine does not seem to be too seriously damaged. The area inside is surprisingly large, and it seems to be of great value for exploration. Moreover, the extraordinary aura that I have always felt is much stronger here.
Maybe this shrine is the source of that strange aura."
Kamiya didn't hesitate, controlled the puppet and shook off the water stains on his gorgeous clothes, and walked forward.
There are many murals carved on the surrounding walls, but the colors have long faded and become mottled. After observing for a while, the pictures are incomplete and obscure, and I don't know what they point to.
However, we can see that the ocean and the moon appear frequently in the murals.
The moon in it is particularly eye-catching.
Even in many murals, the image of the moon clearly covers the ocean, and is depicted so realistically and otherworldly.
The moon hangs in the center of the mural, a round and bright ball of light, emitting a soft and warm light, illuminating the entire scene. The surface of the moon is painted lifelike, as if you can feel the soft texture and cool breath. Delicate
The smooth lines outline the mountains and tear-like textures on the moon, which are three-dimensional and realistic.
When you carefully observe the moon on the mural, you will feel a mysterious and peaceful atmosphere permeating it.
[...Sugumu Zun neglected to manage Canghai Plains. During this period, Haiyuan was long-term managed by his sister Yoshihara Tsukiyomi Zun... The three goddesses of Zongxiang were born to take over the authority of Canghai Plains and were protected by Tsukiyomi Zun...
…]
Kamiya stood in front of a certain mural for a long time and vaguely made out these words.
Sumamon is also the nickname of Susano-o.
Of course Canghaiyuan refers to the country of the sea.
According to Kamiyagawa's understanding, after Susano'o was assigned to govern the Sea Kingdom by his father Izanagi, he missed his late mother and was heartbroken, so he delayed taking up the post. This was indeed "negligence in management".
The "Food of the Night" mentioned in the mural's inscription refers to another divine kingdom, the "Land of Night."
If the information on this mural is correct, during the period when Susano-o was not managing the sea, his second sister, the Tsukiyomi no Mikoto on the Yonoshugahara, that is, the "Tsukiyomi Lord" should be managing it on his behalf.
.
In addition, in the foundation of the myth, the gender of Tsukuyomi has never been specifically described.
There are various folk opinions about whether Tsukuyomi is a male god, a goddess, or simply a sexless god.
But according to the mural, the second among the three noble sons should be a goddess.
"Tsukiyomi has governed the country of the sea for a long time, so it's no wonder that the sea and the moon are often drawn together."
"According to mythology and the information about the God War that I have, Susanoo has never taken office in the Kingdom of the Sea. After leaving Takamagahara, he first walked on earth, and then went to hell... In other words, the Kingdom of the Sea should also later
It is indirectly controlled by Tsukuyomi, and the actual boss of the three Munakata goddesses who appear later may still be their aunt Tsukuyomi... It seems that Susanoo has brought a lot of trouble to his eldest and second sisters."
"Could the strange atmosphere in this area be related to Tsukiyomi's fate?"
Kamiya refined the key information and continued walking along the collapsed stone walls and pillars.
In front is a huge courtyard, supported by four stone pillars carved with intricate and exquisite patterns. The surrounding walls are shimmering with light, making the view here much brighter.
Under one of the stone pillars, Kamiyagawa saw a corpse.
The figure has a human body and a fish tail, leaning on a stone pillar in a sitting position. It should be a woman.
The surface of the mermaid corpse has been severely dehydrated and dried up into a mummy. The skin looks like the upturned scales of a dead fish, rough and dull.
But even so, this corpse still retains a touch of luxury and majesty, and there are no deformed parts on its body.
Kamiya has a feeling that this mermaid must have been beautiful and noble when she was still alive.
"Is this the Queen of the Mermaids? Is this the mother of the Mermaids?"
Kamiya controlled the puppet and squatted down in front of the dead mermaid.
Perhaps, before they were polluted and turned into evil sirens, Izhime and the others were also noble and beautiful mermaids.
The kabuki puppet raised his hand and gently touched the mermaid's body.
Lifeless and stiff to the touch.
But at the moment of contact, Kamiya saw that there was a sudden flash of dark fire in the two empty eye holes of the dead mermaid.
Kaka.
The shriveled skull's jaw opened and closed, shaking endlessly.
The fire in its eye holes became a little stronger, jumping and burning. The fire in the eyes spread to the Kabuki puppet's eyes, burning more and more intensely.
Some messy picture information poured into the puppet's mind through the link of firelight.
Well, the puppet has no brain.
Therefore, those pieces of information simply appeared on the surface of the sea, in Kamiya's mind as the controller.
good.
This feeling is not too uncomfortable.
Compared with the indescribable whispers that summoned fellow travelers to the East and the overwhelming knowledge that penetrated the brain, it was nothing at all——
…
An island with lush vegetation and beautiful scenery.
This island is not the sunken Taqito Island, but the unpolluted Ichisuma Island more than two hundred years ago.
I don’t know why, but Kamiya knows this.
The gentle sea breeze caresses Shicun Island.
A bright and beautiful mermaid figure is sitting on the rocks on the coast.
There is a pair of jade-like white, crystal clear horns on the top of the head, and the body is fish-tailed.
No, maybe it's not just a fish tail.
The tail is thinner and more flexible, and the scales are bright and shining like glass. The end of the tail is covered with soft and natural white hair, which flutters gently in the wind.
Perhaps it is more appropriate to say that it is similar to the tail of a dragon.
Seeing this figure appear in his mind like a scene from a movie, Kamiyagawa naturally "associated" information related to her.
The previous Zongxiang among the mermaid clan was a childlike dragon girl.
She is now Ishime's mother.
The childish Jiaoji sits on the rocks and sings a tune without lyrics. Her singing voice is clear and ethereal. The sea is swaying in her chants, as docile as a tamed domestic animal.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Little sister."
After singing for a while, Zhijiaoji paused.
Someone called her from behind.
Turning around, there was a half-fish, half-human figure standing behind him.
Different from the beautiful Jiaoji, the new figure has a fish upper body and a humanoid lower body.
It is similar to the current rock fish boss from the mermaid side, but not as ugly as those rock fish.
The figure was tall and mighty, wearing blue armor. He was calm and powerful, and had the demeanor of a general.
"Brother, you're back? Did the battle against the hand-washing ghost go well?"
The young dragon girl responded happily to the visitor.
Just like the situation with Zhijiao Ji, seeing the half-fish, half-human figure appeared, information related to it naturally emerged in Kamiya's mind——
His name is "Big Fish Climbing the Tower".
Nominally, he is the elder brother of Zhijiao Ji, the eldest son of the mermaid clan who is good at conquering and fighting.
But in fact, he has no blood relationship with Jiao Ji. He is the adopted son of the leader of the mermaid clan.
She is an indigenous siren in the Sea Kingdom and does not have any divine bloodline.
"Well, that stupid big monster has calmed down, and he probably won't have the guts to interfere with the enthronement ceremony of the leader of the Sea Kingdom." Denglou nodded.
At the time when the new and old sea kingdoms are changing over, the monsters on the sea are ready to move.
Not only the old enemy Crab clan, but also some powerful monsters on the sea have their own evil intentions.
A leader like the Handwash Demon who lives on the strait and recruits a group of monsters to become the leader of a force wants to interfere with the succession of the country's leader without knowing what he can do.
The stupid big demon obviously didn't even have a Munakata statue and was vulnerable to a blow, but he just listened to the absurd statement recently spread in the sea - "As long as you get the third Munakata statue, you will be qualified to enter Munakata Taisha Shrine and ascend to the throne of the country."
rumor.
As we climbed up the stairs, it became clear that the hands-washed ghosts had the blood of low-grade monsters flowing through them.
Just like myself.
There is absolutely no way that a lowly siren can compete with his sister who is a god-descendant for the throne of the country.
