588 The ghosts umbilical cord and the gods fetal blood
The matter of Jinshan God has been discussed for a while to no avail, so we can only put it aside for the time being, waiting for follow-up investigation.
Subsequently, Kamiya submitted the box set again: "Kaku, what you said last time was to combine this box set with the second core material of Prajna Shrine to adapt it. Has there been any result?"
"Yes." The craftsman sister nodded, "Because the curse once sealed in this set of curse boxes is too strong. The other core material I want is preferably a divinity with a certain degree of compassion to neutralize the murderous curse.
Meaning. And then it has to fit in with Miss Prajna’s own characteristics other than the curse..."
"That's what you said last time, and then you also said that there are very few materials that meet such conditions, and I can't think of any suitable ones at the moment."
Kamiya had brought this set to Gao Tianyuan before to pick up the box and show it to Sue. The answer she gave at that time was almost the same as now.
"I just didn't think of it at the time." Jue waved his hand, "Before you came, I discussed this matter with the medicine seller, and he gave an idea."
It sounds like the craftsmen are still very concerned about Kamiya.
I bet they had discussed the situation of Prajna Shrine before.
The combination of Sister Jue's knowledge as a master craftsman and the medicine seller's rich experience can indeed solve many problems.
Medicine Seller: "There is a god who may have materials that meet your expectations."
"God?"
"Yeah, the Mother Goddess of Devils."
The Goddess of Guizi is also called the Mother of Joy or the Mother of Love.
Originally a Buddhist deity, the Sanskrit transliteration is Kaori Emperor Mother. With the spread of Buddhism, it was first introduced to China and then to Japan, and then after a long period of localization of the belief, it is an imported god.
According to legend, the Devil Mother Goddess was originally a Yaksha evil spirit, and she was particularly fertile, giving birth to five hundred devils. She would walk at night every night, capturing human children to feed her devils.
After Shakya knew about this, he hid one of her children while she was away.
After the mother Yaksha returned, she couldn't find her child, so she finally had to seek help from Shakya. Shakya persuaded her to put herself in the perspective of a mother and compare her feelings——
You have five hundred children, and you are so worried about losing one of them. And what will be the state of mind of those parents whose children you have kidnapped?
After some persuasion to put himself in someone else's shoes, the evil ghost Yaksha received enlightenment and enlightenment, so he converted to Buddhism and transformed into a ghost child mother, becoming one of the twenty heavenly beings protecting the Dharma in Buddhism.
In Chinese folk, the authority and function of the ghost mother is similar to the goddess who gives birth to children. In Japan, she is regarded as the protector of children.
"The Ghost Mother possesses maternal divinity, and as a Ghost Mother, she is consistent with Miss Prajna's aspect of 'controlling ghosts'. She should have the materials you need." The medicine seller further stated.
illustrate.
"That's right!" Sister Jue clapped her hands, "Kamigu, you want to be the king of ghosts and gods, and the Prajna under you is the mother of ghosts and ghosts, so she will be the queen of ghosts. How about it? Isn't it a great match?"
Kamiyagawa:……
Thank you so much for not forgetting to help me in this situation.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems to make sense.
Moreover, Prajna also likes children and has a certain connection with Buddhism.
The materials provided by the Demon Goddess seem to be very suitable for her.
Kamiyagawa: "It sounds very good, so the question is, where should I find this god?"
Medicine Seller: "In the eternal world, it is unknown whether this god still exists. I suggest you try your luck in the present world first."
"In reality?"
"In the Buddhist temple or shrine of Ghost Mother, there may be a place where he is worshiped, and there will be remnants of his power."
"It's just materials, it's not like we need to get the bones of gods." Satoru took over, "As long as I get the gift of his power, I'm still confident to build a beautiful shrine for our ghost queen."
"Understood."
Kamiya nodded.
The purpose of looking for the Devil Mother Goddess is different from that of looking for the Jinshan God.
Jinshan God himself did not die, but it seemed that something went wrong and he lost control, so he began to persecute his believer craftsmen. To solve this problem, we must find the true form of Jinshan God.
But on the side of the Demon Goddess, Kamiyagawa and the others only need the power of this pillar of god. Once they have obtained the carrier that carries his power, they can take it back and build a shrine.
As the two craftsmen said, go to the corresponding shrine or temple to try your luck first.
"Oh, by the way, and-" Jue gently touched the foot seller next to her with her elbow.
The latter reacted and quickly rummaged through the flesh and fat bottles on the side of the hall to find a purple strip of air-dried meat.
That's an umbilical cord.
This thing also has a certain origin. It is a composite of "ghost's umbilical cord" and "god's fetal blood".
The umbilical cord comes from the childbirth girl, the mother of little Crayon Ayaori.
The fetal blood comes from leeches.
Kamiyagawa had placed these two materials on Takamagahara before, and then asked Fu Bao to bless these two materials that had a probability of being processed and synthesized.
However, I don’t think I’m particularly good at handling flesh and blood materials.
In the end, it was only through cooperation with the foot seller that the two materials were combined.
The successful synthesis of this thing also shows that the skills of the foot seller are really not limited to "putting together hands and feet".
"Guizi Mu is the divine mother of ghosts, containing the power of flesh and blood. This divine blood umbilical cord may be of help to you in finding His power. It is also the most suitable power carrier for Gui Zi Mu that we currently have. You can bring it with you
Be prepared for any danger." said the medicine seller.
The craftsmen consider things very carefully.
After leaving the box and taking away the divine blood umbilical cord, Kamiya discussed some recent matters with the strange craftsmen.
Mainly because Sister Jue made a request to him——
"While you, Shengu, are now beginning to develop permanent power, there is one thing that may be put on the agenda. That is to ask the mermaid princess under you to find a suitable apprentice for me and the young monk. Whether it is the work of a divine craftsman.
, it’s still the job of the young monk and the candle-making monk, and we are a little too busy at the moment.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Due to the power management of Kamiyagawa Shintaka Amahara, Sister Kaku's workload has indeed increased a lot.
Not only do we have to deal with various commissions and orders from the Ghosts and Gods Co-Master, but some commissions are also starting to appear from the Paradise Market.
For example, Crab Girl wants to prepare some weapons for her standing army; and the processing of some products also requires the guidance of craftsmen.
Although Sister Jue is already writing an encyclopedia on material processing, it is better to ask Jue to bring one or two Kaitan apprentices with craftsmanship talents than to let the Kaidans involved in production follow the script, and then put them into the production of Changshi

Not to mention the candle-making monk.
Nowadays, the demand for requiem candles is extremely high. Not only do they have to meet the daily needs of cultivating gods and monsters in Kamiya, but they also need to regularly put some candles into the market for circulation in the paradise.
The little green monk's candle-making tools were almost smoking.
Kamiya naturally agreed to the reasonable request of arranging craftsman apprentices immediately.
After that, leave it to Ishime to look for it.
…
Kaori Emperor Mother, the Mother Goddess of Devils.
This god was introduced to Japan and after the localized spread of belief, it has many different images among the people. The protector of children is only one of the broader ones.
In some places, the Ghost Mother is believed to be a beautiful and elegant goddess, while in other places she is believed to be a ferocious Yaksha ghost.
Some people believe that the Ghost Mother is the mother of all things, in charge of the cycle of life and death; others believe that the Ghost Mother is the king of evil spirits, and as a ghost mother, she breeds many negative emotions such as jealousy and violence.
Anyway, everyone has his or her own opinion.
"There is a shrine of ghost mothers in Zoshigaya in Tokyo. In addition, there are different ghost mother beliefs in Mima County, Kiso County, and Kitamurayama County. You should be able to find corresponding shrines or Buddhist temples in the local area..."
Kamiyagawa compared the information obtained from the countermeasures room and began to plan the places to visit in the near future.
Prajna's shrine lacks this core material, so of course you have to look for it carefully.
In the next few days, Kamiya visited Zoshigaya in Tokyo, and also explored the surrounding areas of Mima City and Kiso City.
However, no useful progress was made.
A week later, he came to Kitamurayama County.
Kitamurayama Gun is located in Yamagata Prefecture in the southwest of the Tohoku region of Japan. It has many mountains and a very high forest coverage rate. It is a good place to get close to nature.
noon.
Among the mountains of Bukchon Mountain County, a ghost car stopped on the road in front of the mountain.
Kamiyagawa got off the car and looked at the map in his hand.
"It seems like this is it."
He looked up and saw a dark mountain road in front of him.
Although it is winter, the pine trees in the mountain forest are lush and covered with white snow, and the sea of trees stretches as far as the eye can see.
In the morning, Kamiya used [Thousand Silver Needles] and his identity as an intern folklorist to inquire about information from nearby residents.
Finally, I learned from the mouths of some elderly people that deep in the mountain in front of me, there used to be a Ghost Mother Shrine.
But now probably few people visit it, so it is abandoned.
In addition, although the ghost mother is essentially an imported Buddhist deity, Buddhism has dominated Japan for a long time, and the local Shinto religion has been reduced to a vassal. The two have influenced each other for a long time. Moreover, the belief in the ghost mother widely exists among the people, so
It is normal for this god to be enshrined in a shrine.
"According to the old man I interacted with this morning, the Devil's Mother Shrine in the mountains was used to bury babies who died in infancy. It is hoped that the dead children can become Buddhas under the protection of Devil's Mother..."
Continuing to recall the information he had gathered in the morning, Kamiya then turned around and said to Dashi in the car: "You guys just wait for me here. If anything happens, call Mary as soon as possible."
"No problem, boss!"
The strength of the Hearse Troupe has long been different from what it used to be, especially recently as Takayama Mai has just absorbed the strange relics of the train.
Even the driver in Kamiya's family is quite good at driving.
There's no problem keeping them here.
After a brief explanation, Kamiya went up the mountain road alone.
There is a chill in the mountain forest in winter, probably because no one has been near it for a long time, and there is a strange feeling of loneliness in this area.
After walking for a while, a torii gate appeared on the mountain path.
It's not a red color, but a mottled wood color.
On the top of the torii, there are some bells tied with hemp ropes. I don't know if they are made of copper or some other material. They are a little white in color and sway softly in the whining mountain wind.
Snap, snap.
Kamiya clasped his hands together in front of the torii gate and patted it twice.
Saying hello is a basic skill for a visitor.
Then, he walked through the torii gate with ease.
jingle--
The bell on the torii seems to be a little louder.
According to Shintoism, the torii gate is actually a symbol of the barrier.
Beyond the torii gate is the real world of human life, and beyond the torii gate is the territory of gods and ghosts.
Continue upward.
Some Ksitigarbha statues began to appear on both sides of the mountain road, standing scattered among the forest.
The temperature here seems to have dropped a bit.
The forest wind blew by, shaking some withered weeds on the ground, but it could not shake the heavy Jizo statues. Those stone statues just stood still and chaotic.
"This place..."
Kamiyakawa sensed it and narrowed his pupils slightly as he glanced to the side.
He saw a strong ghostly aura permeating the mountains and forests, and there seemed to be something spying on him from behind the Ksitigarbha statues.
"Hee hee." "Woo hoo."
Kamiya heard the sounds of children playing and crying, sobbing in the silent forest.
There seem to be a lot of undead babies in this place.
And you can clearly see the aura of other, more powerful monsters in the depths.
"Perhaps you've come to the right place."
This weird atmosphere was nothing to Kamiya, and it even made him slightly excited.
Keep walking upward.
The number of Ksitigarbha statues on the edge of the mountain road increased, and the actions of the children's infant spirits became bolder.
There were even a few crimson baby ghosts, laughing and crawling along the visitors' feet.
Kamiya didn't pay much attention to them, they were just some wandering ghosts.
After walking for a few more minutes, my vision broadened a little.
There is an open space on the side of the mountain road, which is a large cemetery.
There are hundreds of Jizo statues standing in it, row by row, column by column, pressed together like tombstones, so oppressive that the midday sun looks dim here. In other words, these Jizo statues originally represent tombstones.
.
According to the local elders, children who died in infancy were buried here a long time ago, so there should be a child's grave under each Ksitigarbha statue.
It’s just that such a huge scale exceeded Kamiyagawa’s previous estimates.
Moreover, the atmosphere of this place is very different from the mountain road we just passed through.
"They're afraid to come in... There's something here that scares them."
Kamiya turned around and looked at the entrance of the cemetery.
The infant spirit children and imps who had just followed him up the mountain path were all crowded outside the garden, peeping in cautiously.
"Woo-"
Pairs of empty pupils were filled with blood and tears, flowing down their delicate or wrinkled little faces.
They were crying and waving towards the Valley of Gods.
It seemed to be beckoning him to leave.
Kamiya shook his head at those brats and continued deeper into the cemetery.
Ahead is a dilapidated wooden building.
It is not large in scale, and although it has been in disrepair, you can still see the outline of the shrine.
This should be the abandoned Devil's Mother Shrine.
Huhu——
The mountain wind blew through, and the air was a bit colder than in the mountain road.
The wooden shrine made a creaking sound, and the stacked and dark group of Jizo statues behind it seemed to be shaking with it.
