The moment Ibuki's divine skeleton touched the Inugami, it turned into tiny white particles floating around, and was immediately engulfed by the raging fire of karma.
After accommodating this skeleton, the Inugami returned to the shikigami statue.
After completing the ceremony arrangement, Kamiya glanced at the shikigami statue of the Inugami again. The yellow-green light fragments on the shikigami flew in all directions, and the silver-plated beast-shaped statue reflected the shimmering light. It was ferocious and ferocious, but also had a sense of sanctity.
Inugami is in very good condition now. Judging from past experience, there won't be much problem in his promotion to godhood.
"The dog is something you have to keep and take care of. I don't have to worry too much about it, so I just managed to finish it by myself."
Kamiya sighed in his heart.
really.
Inugami is the easiest shikigami to take care of and the least to worry about.
Its promotion process is very different from other shikigami who follow the "farming style" approach and develop step by step.
Start with a dog, and development depends entirely on grabbing.
Just grabbing and grabbing and eating and eating all the way, and now I have the qualifications to become a god.
The Inugami has proven by itself that its exclusive "plundering style" is no different from the "farming style" of other shikigami. In the end, they reach the same goal through different paths.
"Gouzi has grown up all the way, and he has not even built the shrine needed in the Aragami period. The faith required for the transition from Aragami to a god is all obtained through plunder... But when Ibuki's skeleton is completely accommodated, it will be for him.
Let’s run it.”
"After Ibuki's skeleton is accommodated, the real Ibuki Daimyojin Shrine can be completely controlled by Gouzi, and it can be used as the core of its belief system. Other shrines corresponding to the fallen gods whose faith it has plundered can also be added
Then worship its statue."
Anyway, the idea of cultivating Inugami after he becomes a god is to inherit the belief system of Ibuki Daimyojin.
As for other gods whose faith was robbed by Inugami, especially those fallen gods whose belief systems were not destined by the remaining shikigami of Kamitigawa...
Although the corresponding shrines cannot be completely controlled by the Inugami like Ibuki Shrine, it is still feasible to turn the belief in these gods into vassals similar to the Inugami belief and continue to take incense from them.
Building Inugami's shrines into those shrines is equivalent to collecting protection fees.
Such an arrangement is enough for Inugami to receive stable worship after becoming a god.
If it's not enough...
After that, let’s grab a few more gods’ belief systems.
Anyway, it has been this way all the way, and the style of "plundering flow" has been consistent.
After settling Inugami's side completely, Kamiya temporarily left the Flower Bell School.
He has a lot of things to be busy with recently, especially in the cultivation of shikigami and subordinate Kaidan. Like——
The materials needed for the shrine prepared for the Hachishaku Girl related to the power of "lust and form change" have been collected.
Sister Jue will start construction in the next few days.
There is also Prajna.
The bones of the God of Darkness and Beauty have been collected by Kamiya River, and Prajna's becoming a god ceremony should also be put on the agenda.
The power of belief that Prajna currently possesses is mainly derived from operations, focusing on a long-term and sustainable business.
It's not like Gouzi, who swallowed Anyu Jiamei whole and immediately grabbed Bo Da's.
But for now, the sources of belief in Hannya are still very extensive. Added up, the volume is actually very large, not inferior to the Inugami in its current state.
Moreover, the bones of the Cursed Dragon God are much stronger than the bones of Ibuki Daimyojin, so it is more difficult to absorb and utilize.
Kamiyakawa plans to continue to run a wave of operations for Prajna, and then promote her to become a god smoothly and risk-free.
As for how to operate it, it depends on Bunche Yaofei and GENIE Animation Studio.
GENIE just released "Katsutengu no Monster Retreat" this year, and it would take too long to create a detailed drama.
However, Fumikari Yahime, who is in charge of the GENIE Studio, has long ago proposed to Kamiyagawa to expand the channels for harvesting shikigami beliefs in the cultural industry, and has been making plans for this.
To put it simply, I want to open up more tracks.
Animated movies, novels, comics, and even cross-industry games...
Anyway, GENIE currently has sufficient funds, and has expanded its manpower and contacts a lot. The ACG industry can be tested, and even if a certain project loses a little money, it doesn't matter.
"According to what Xiao Wenche said, the current focus on layout preparation is comics."
From dramas to comics, the span is not particularly large.
Chiaki Miyake, who can work energetically for 20 hours a day as long as he stays in the Fish Hotel without being disturbed, prepares the script, which can ensure the quality of the comic plot.
Within GENIE, there are many painters with mature skills.
Taking the prototype of Prajna as the protagonist, launching a comic series is quite promising.
Anyway, Princess Wenche is almost ready for the corresponding matters, so there is no need for Kamiya to worry too much——
In terms of plot, the new comic can be connected and interacted with "Miss Mary" and "Katsutengu's Monster Retreat" to further enrich and improve the framework of the GENIE monster universe.
If the response to the comic is good enough in the future, it can be adapted into a TV series.
Eat two fish out of one.
…
Present life.
Ibaraki Prefecture, Yoshikoji Temple.
Tsurumi Aoi was sitting in the living room of her temple, gently wiping the blade of Ichimonji with a soft cloth.
Weapons are the backbone of her spirit-killing combat power, so they naturally need to be taken good care of.
The TV in the living room is on, playing a new supernatural program from TBS. It seems to be an interview session now, and the host of the program is talking to a specially invited folklorist——
"...So, what do you think of such supernatural events?"
"In short, around our daily lives, there may really be supernatural forces that humans cannot understand..."
Tsurumi, who was doing maintenance on his weapons, looked up and his eyes paused on the TV screen for a second or two.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Recently, it seems that starting from this year, there have been a lot more supernatural programs on TV.
In the past, such programs were usually broadcast late at night, but now they are also broadcast during the day.
Moreover, it is said that the ratings of this type of program are actually not low.
In short, more and more people are discussing supernatural events in society.
"The frequency of ghost talks is getting more and more intense. Is the current direction of public opinion inspired by the countermeasures room?"
Tsurumi Aoi thought so.
Thanks to such a great master as Kamiyagawa, Tsurumi also had many contacts with the Countermeasures Room.
I seem to have heard similar rumors recently.
Perhaps one day in the future, the countermeasures room will completely disclose the existence of ghost stories to the public.
And the current direction of public opinion may be preparing for this.
Although it is made public to the whole society, it will inevitably increase people's discussion and fear of weird rumors, and the generation of "weird rumors" will further accelerate.
But this may be a last resort that has no other solution.
The main reason is that in terms of the current frequency of ghost talk activities, it is really difficult to continue to conceal it in the information age.
For example, not long ago, there was a lot of noise about the disappearance of the entire Kamishi Town.
An entire town disappeared overnight. This kind of thing is not a trivial matter in any case. No matter how hard we suppress public opinion, someone will definitely know about it.
Although the official later gave an explanation, it was said that a strong earthquake occurred in Kamishi Town in Tokushima Prefecture and was destroyed.
But people don't buy this argument.
It was said to be a natural disaster, but apart from some government officials coming forward to bow, there was no detailed report on the subsequent situation in the disaster area.
The area around Jinseki Town is still sealed off.
No matter whether it is the private rescue team or the disaster relief materials prepared by the people, or the large number of paper cranes, they are not allowed to enter.
Someone even reported on the Internet that on the night of the so-called Kamiseki Town earthquake, a terrifying vision was seen in the sky in the direction of Kamiseki Town——
Not only was there lightning and thunder, but there was also something huge hovering, tumbling, and roaring in the dark clouds, which was very scary.
At first, there were corresponding videos leaked online.
However, the relevant videos have now been deleted and cannot be found.
Moreover, in the past two days, the entertainment industry has suddenly revealed some tidbits of news, which has attracted public attention to a certain extent.
Anyway, the information held by the Countermeasures Room will cause riots whether it is made public or not.
Of course Tsurumi was helpless about this.
All she can do is seize the time to practice and strengthen herself to cope with all unknown possibilities. If there is a greater chaos in the future, try not to hold back Teacher Kamiya and her senior sister.
Tsurumi Aoi just sat in the living room and took her time, carefully maintaining the three sabers that currently belong to her.
After doing all this, she took the "fire pill" in her hand to check.
Tsurumi had just acquired this very strange sword.
The specific usage method is not fully developed yet.
Gotta work harder.
"I'll practice again later."
Putting down Hotaru, Tsurumi Aoi got up from the living room and walked out the door.
Today is Tsurumi's mother's memorial day. She made a special trip back to Ibaraki to pay homage to her mother and visit her father.
I will go back to Tokyo tomorrow.
Anyway, the distance between Ibaraki Prefecture and Tokyo is not that far.
As for Tokyo...
Teacher Kamiya has been very busy these days and often doesn't see people.
It seems that I often go to GENIE Studio.
Speaking of which, this animation studio has become quite popular when it first appeared in the past two years, and Yoshikoji of the Tsurumi family has also invested a lot of money in it.
It has something to do with Tsurumi.
She knew that Ms. Kamiya Shiori, who was in charge of the studio, was also the teacher's Kaitan Bunka Yaofei, and was preparing to make a big splash in the field of serialized comics in the near future.
Teacher Kamiya seems to be paying close attention to this matter.
Also, the teacher has been going to see Miss Onizuka, the divine child of Juqiong Shrine, from time to time recently.
The two often go to various places together to meet with different shrines and temples.
After all, Tsurumi can be regarded as Kamiya's beloved little apprentice, and he already knows the inside story and actual purpose of these things: "In short, they are all preparing for the shikigami belief under Kamiya-sensei."
Mr. Kamiya, you look like you are working really hard.
No wonder Senior Sister Lu Yewu always says "I must honor Master well today".
…
Tsurumi Aoi walked to the main hall of Yoshikoji Temple.
Found her father here.
"dad."
"Kui, have you paid homage to your mother?"
Mr. Tsurumi wore the robes of the presiding monk and stood in front of the Buddha statue in the main hall.
In front of him lay a neatly folded women's kimono.
Moon white background with floral texture.
Although it is layered, you can feel that the kimono itself is beautiful and gorgeous.
"I've been to the cemetery." Tsurumi nodded and turned his attention to the white kimono, "Dad, this is..."
In this kimono, Tsurumi could feel a trace of kaidan lingering.
The smell is very fresh, not too strong.
But when I looked carefully, I couldn't see the ghost story, so it should just be a spiritual object that had been attached to some kind of ghost story before.
"A small sleeve kimono with an ancient style was sent by a lady named Fujino just now. She wants to enshrine this kimono in the temple and entrust us to purify and dispose of it."
Mr. Tsurumi replied, and slowly unfolded the moon-white women's kimono.
The fabric hangs softly, revealing the entire kimono. It is indeed a relatively ancient style, with a crossed collar, slanted lapels, tucked-in cuffs, and openings under the arms.
very beautiful.
In Japan, many shrines and temples have the business of receiving evil objects.
Yoshikoji Temple is naturally no exception.
Moreover, the current Yoshikoji Temple is protected by Miss Mary herself.
Placing some supernatural objects within the temple will not cause any problems at all, not to mention that it is just a spiritual object that has been attached to the ghost story.
"What kind of weird story is it?"
Tsurumi looked away from Kosode's kimono and asked casually.
"According to Ms. Fujino, last night, when this kimono was being placed on a hanger, she saw several fair and delicate arms rustling out of the cuffs of the kimono. Those arms appeared briefly, pulling on the kimono.
The cuffs and hem quickly disappeared."
"Ms. Fujino was shocked and quickly sent this dress to us. However, the monster that appeared in this kimono is no longer here."
Mr. Tsurumi told his daughter about the kimono.
It doesn't sound like it was a particularly serious supernatural experience.
Ms. Fujino was not seriously injured except for being frightened.
After listening to these words, Tsurumi Aoi thought of something that should match the strange ghost that was attached to this kimono last night -
Small sleeve hands.
Monsters such as Kosode's Hands began to be recorded and rumored in the Edo period, and they have a lot to do with kimonos.
And generally only appears on women's kimonos.
The form that people usually see and hear is the same as what happened to Ms. Fujino, which is an arm sticking out of a narrow-sleeved kimono.
Relatively harmless.
It is said that this kind of monster is born from women's nostalgia for beautiful clothes.
possible……
Is it a kind of monster that is born with a longing for beauty?
