After greeting the master of the Santukawa River, Xiangyue Xun, and the ghost mother of the Burial River, the matter of the Yata bird settling down in the underworld was smoothly finalized.
After all this, Kamiya was finally able to return to reality.
In fact, staying awake for three days without rest is nothing to him.
But the decisive battle with three A-level gods in Apoqiyuan brought real consumption.
Therefore, as soon as his consciousness returned to his home in the real world and relaxed, Kamiyagawa felt a little tired and hungry.
"My current body is not the body of a ghost in the absolute sense. Maybe when the Human Lord Grand Shrine is completed and I become a real Aragami, the situation will change."
Kamiyagawa thought like this and sat up from the bed, but did not rest himself immediately.
He still has something to do now, which is to review the trophies obtained during this trip to Hirazan.
After the battle, because there were too many things to do, I didn't review the material harvest properly before.
Because I defeated three A-level gods, the loot this time was quite generous.
First, some basic materials——
Like a considerable amount of soul crystals, this is the most basic.
There are also three A-level gods’ treasures.
Since the last time he defeated the mass-produced Broken God at Amado Rock, Kamiya has no shortage of available Aragami's blood in a short period of time.
But the painstaking work of the A-level gods is still a resource that is currently in short supply.
Three more stones means that you have three more resources to cultivate gods.
The other is the harvest of divine bones.
The Great Immortal Peach God does not have a divine bone, but the two Thunder Gods in Underworld do.
Therefore, Kamiyagawa’s inventory includes [Fudui Lei Gong’s Divine Skeleton] and [Tuzhen Lei Gong’s Divine Skeleton].
Secondly, there are some other benefits of winning this battle——
For example, the "Deep Dream Cornerstone" of the Great Immortal Peach God.
This has been absorbed by the Dream-Eating Tapir, which can also control dreams, and has begun to digest it.
Another example is the earth attribute Huangquan Lei of Earth Thunder God.
The thunder power of this attribute has been sealed into the spleen by Kamiya River to breed.
Perhaps, as long as it takes a while to get used to it and practice, Kamiya will also officially master his "earth attribute" thunder technique.
Another example is the flesh and blood of two Thunder Lords of Huangquan.
At the end of the battle, the Inugami's flesh and blood were picked over and eaten by the Inugami.
So far, Gouzi has killed many gods in his mouth.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is simply a walking "grave of gods".
Thanks to the special attributes of the Inugami, these divine flesh and blood, as well as the power of faith contained in them, will eventually become its own sustenance.
According to this trend, it is estimated that after defeating a few more gods, it will transform into a god itself.
Anyway, Inugami is the shikigami that Kamiyagawa needs to worry about least.
It is normal for it to be promoted at such a speed.
There is certainly no other Aragami in the world who likes Inugami, who occasionally brings gods to his meal.
Finally, there are some special trophies left behind——
There is [Izanagi's Hair Comb] over there from Daisen Peach God.
The ebony hair comb has been used by Sister Jue to study how to build the "Ren Zhu Grand Shrine", so there is no need to talk more.
After Tu Zhen Lei Gong was killed, he dropped [Tu Zhen Lei Gong's Skin and Bones].
An extremely thick and heavy khaki animal hide.
There is also a piece of white animal bone that is also extremely heavy and can probably be used directly as a blunt weapon.
This animal bone is not a divine bone, but it may have been part of the one-legged leg bone of Earthquake Thunder God.
No matter the animal skin or animal bones, they all have the aura of gods, mixed with a strong sense of thunder and electricity.
[The earth shakes the skin and bones of Thunder God: The skin and bones of Yin God Thunder God can summon thunder. If the skin is used to make a drum and the bones are used as hammers, and the skin and bones symphony, the thunder can resound thousands of miles away, frightening the enemy and subduing the world.]
There was also the last one killed, Fudu Lei Gong.
After the big toad died, he also left behind a piece of material.
[Fudui Lei Gong's quagmire water: The source of power for the Yin God Thunder Gong to control the swamp. It can also be used to conceal the breath and control the stretching swamp.]
Compared with [Thunder God's Skin and Bone], [Fudui Thunder God's Mire Pool Water] may be slightly worse in quality.
In appearance, it is just a mass of swamp water glowing with green light and constantly surging with turbid bubbles.
This ball of water is wrapped in a layer of silt.
But whether it's water or mud, when mixed together, it's like being wrapped in an invisible film, gathering together and not breaking up.
When you hold it in your hand, you will only feel a slippery and sticky touch, and there will be no mud or swamp water directly touching your hands.
Moreover, you can also feel the breath of the gods on this green water ball.
"I didn't have time to show these two materials to Sister Jue just now, but I will have time in the future."
Kamiyagawa carefully read the two materials left by the Yin God Raikou, and then put them away again.
Anyway, it's not something that can be put to use right away. Sister Jue is still focusing all her energy on the construction of Renzhu Grand Shrine.
As for how to use [Thunder God's Skin and Bone] and [Fudui Thunder God's Mire Water], Kamiya had some vague ideas.
After all, he has been in contact with the master craftsman for so long, and he still has some basic experience in material application.
According to Sister Jue’s original words, materials can generally be simply divided into two categories based on their own characteristics:
Those with "light texture" are easily absorbed by other ghost stories; and those with "heavy texture" are not easily absorbed by other ghost stories.
The former is the type that Kamiyagawa calls "monstrous relics".
The material of the two Yin Gods Thunder God itself seems not to be easily absorbed by other ghost stories, so it belongs to the latter, and its general application is to create extraordinary props or weapons.
For example, [Thunder King's Skin and Bones], just looking at the description in the appraisal, it can definitely be made into a drum that summons thunder.
"However...these two materials left behind by the gods both have divinity. Rather than being made into weapons and props, a more suitable use is to use them as the core of building a shrine, right?"
[Thunder King's Skin and Bones] If used to build a shrine, it will definitely give the shrine the power of thunder.
Although Kamiya's subordinates don't have any shikigami suitable for the power of thunder, he himself is proficient in lightning techniques.
"If I can also master the 'Golden Thunder', then my second shrine may be directly related to the power of thunder, and the animal skins and bones will come in handy."
As for [Fudu Lei Gong's Mire and Pool Water], if it is regarded as the core of building a society, the accompanying powers should be "swamp" and "hidden".
The shrine in this direction...
Maybe the little old man can use it?
Maybe Miyako, the kappa under Oro, will be compatible with him?
Anyway, let’s watch it later.
Just store things that you won't need for the time being.
…
Two days passed in a flash.
Sister Jue already has some clues about the basic materials needed for the "Renzhu Grand Society", but the list is not yet complete.
In fact, even if the basic materials are completely sorted out, the Cat Shopkeeper and the Golden Bear Boy will probably still need to lead a team to cooperate in the search.
Once the materials are found, construction will take time.
But Kamiyagawa has already overcome the biggest difficulty in building the "Human Lord Grand Shrine". The remaining work is basically risk-free, and it is just a matter of waiting a little longer.
Don’t be afraid of being late for a good meal.
And Shengu has not been idle these two days.
He is seriously studying the application of Huangquan Lei's techniques.
He spends most of his time in the dedicated "Eternal Training Ground", which is the Hualing School.
In the secret school.
Kamiya went to the open playground as usual and found two newly born headless high school students to test their new skills.
The two Xiqi boys also cooperated very well. They cried and screamed and got into position, preparing to launch an attack.
The Xiqi Doji are really a group of pure wandering ghosts.
Although he is very weak, his resentment and viciousness are extremely strong, and he is born to seek life.
Moreover, when they attack targets, they do not distinguish between targets, strength or weakness.
To be honest, to this day, Kamiyagawa is already somewhat impressed by Xiqi Doji.
It would be fine if they only bullied the weak and picked on the weak. But the principle of behavior of the headless high school students is that "all living beings are equal". Those who can be beaten must be beaten, and those who are obviously unable to be beaten must also rush in and beat them.
Of course, this may be because the Xiqi boys are not smart and do not have the ability to think.
They are like paramecia that only carry out basic life activities.
Attacking all creatures and monsters that come close is the instinct engraved in the bones of Xiqi Boyzi.
However, to be impressed is to be impressed.
Training still has to continue.
The Xiqi boys have such characteristics that they are destined to be unable to be tamed, nor can they become a ghost labor force that leads a stable life in the ordinary world.
No matter where you put it, it will only create chaos.
Even if you look at it without any personal grudges, it is still an innate sandbag holy body!
"Woo-"
"whee--"
The two Xiqi boys launched a charge at the same time.
However, in the sight of Kamiyagawa's condensed eyes, their movements were so slow that it felt a bit boring.
Wait until the distance gets closer.
Kamiya bowed slightly, raised his right leg, and stepped forward!
A thick and turbid biochemical aura stirred in the spleen, surged through the four bodies, and rolled out with a big stride!
Boom!
The moment his right foot collided with the playground surface, the sound of the collision was extremely dull.
It's like a low drum sound, or like thunder rumbling from below.
Kamiyagawa clearly only took one step, but the sound echoed in an extremely confusing manner.
The earth is restless.
Suddenly, the dust flew up and the wind and sand instantly blurred the outlines of the two Xiqi boys' bodies.
Within a circular area of several meters with the Divine Valley as the center, streaks of earth-yellow ferocious thunder and lightning, like thin pythons, burst out of the ground and shot straight into the sky!
The blast of thunder mixed with the drumbeat of the earth, making it thrilling.
The moment Tu Lei Kuang came out, the two Xiqi boys twisted and turned into ashes and disappeared, leaving only four soul crystals in total.
"It seems pretty good. After only two days of practice, I'm quite proficient in the application of earth mines."
Kamiyagawa is quite satisfied with his performance.
Although the earth thunder he summoned, both in terms of the thickness of the thunder pillar and the coverage area, were far less than Earth Thunder God.
But after all, I have just started to get started now.
Kamiyagawa's current mastery of lightning techniques is no longer as fast as when he was just starting out. He has only practiced for two days, and the proficiency rating of his "earth thunder" technique in "Kaitan Monogatari" has already entered the initial stage [
Mastery level].
After practicing for a while, you should be able to initially apply it in actual combat.
Moreover, through these two days of practicing earth thunder, Kamiya has deepened his understanding of his "Zang Yu Five Thunder" technique——
Mu Lei is cultivated in the liver and is called "bending and straight". It can bend and stretch, and generates strength, indicating that all things in the universe have the characteristics of endless life, growth, hair growth, orderliness, and comfort.
Water mines are cultivated in the kidneys, which are called "moistening the lower parts". All things nourish and contain fine moisture, and have the characteristics of moistening, descending, cooling and closing.
Fire and thunder are cultivated in the heart, which is called "flame". The rising warmth and luxuriant properties represent the sublimation of the reproductive power, the characteristics of brilliance and heat.
Golden thunder is cultivated in the lungs, which is called "conformity". It is obedient to change and has the characteristics of cleansing, soothing and convergence.
Earth thunder is cultivated in the spleen, which is called "crop". Sowing in spring and harvesting in autumn means life. Earth carries the four elements and is the mother of all things. It has the characteristics of biochemical, carrying and accepting.
"The eyes do not see, but the soul returns to the liver, the ears do not hear, the essence is in the kidneys, the tongue does not taste, but the spirit is in the heart, the nose is not fragrant, but the soul is in the lungs, the limbs are motionless, but the mind is in the spleen. Therefore, it is called the Five Thunders." Kamiya River.
Feeling the power bred in his own organs, he let out a long breath:
"As expected, I am only one step away from achieving the ultimate goal of my thunder technique."
…
Present life.
Hiroshima Prefecture, Hatsukaichi.
Itsukushima Shrine enshrines the Munakata three goddesses.
This shrine was built on the intertidal zone of the Seto Inland Sea and enjoys a considerable reputation as a cultural landscape.
The entire shrine is located on a scaffolding. When the tide in the Seto Inland Sea rises, the sea water flows over the scaffolding, and the shrine seems to turn into a giant ship drifting on the sea.
Right in front of the shrine is a huge torii gate 16 meters high. This torii gate is known as one of the "Three Scenic Spots of Japan" and is also the most famous landmark in Itsukushima.
Today, when Kamitani River and Onizuka Kirihotari arrived at Itsukushima Shrine, they could see from a distance that half of the torii gate was submerged by the sea water.
But it seems that when the tide is low, people can walk through the torii gate there.
Generally speaking, Itsukushima Shrine, a wooden building on the sea designed based on the principle of the rise and fall of the tide, really fits its purpose of being an "ocean shrine".
"Agawa, look, that torii gate is made of camphor wood that is hundreds of years old. Because it has been soaked in sea water, Itsukushima Shrine will replace the torii gate with a new one every few decades. This is considered a place.
It’s a tradition. I visited it once when I was a child, and the celebration when the new torii was completed was very grand.”
The little miko gestured to the torii gate in the distance and said to Kamiya.
When the two of them appeared here, they looked a bit like young lovers on a trip.
It would have been more like this if the two of them were not quickly and respectfully led by the staff of Itsukushima Shrine to the "shinden-zukuri" style inner shrine that is not open to tourists.
