After chatting with Takiyashahime for a while, the atmosphere between host and guest was quite harmonious.
At this moment, a beautiful purple and white ruffle emerged from Kamiyakawa's side.
Prajna appeared suspended, with elegant undergarments floating, and three lifelike masks rotating back and forth. Her slender and dignified figure seemed incompatible with the flesh-and-blood squirming atmosphere of Ciji Hospital.
Hannya first glanced at Takiyashahime growing on the flesh and blood floor with seemingly calm eyes, and then turned his head towards the Kamiya River.
She didn't speak.
The two looked at each other and communicated with each other's eyes.
Then, Kamiya's expression changed slightly.
He quickly placed the unfinished cup of seaweed wine next to Takiyashahime: "Takiyashahime, I'll put the wine here for you. I have some things to deal with, so I'm sorry."
After saying that, Kamiya raised his hand and directly touched the shrine in the operating room, causing yellow and green fluorescence to fly in all directions.
"Hey, Kamiyagawa! What's the use of putting it here? I haven't grown any hands yet!"
Takihime shook her head on the spot and protested depressedly.
But whether it was the gorgeous black and gold feather fabric or the elegant purple and white undershirt, they had all disappeared without a trace amid the yellow and green light.
…
Eternal life.
Aokigahara.
Hannya appeared just now to remind Kamiyagawa that something happened in Aokigahara.
Shikijiro's mining team leader, codenamed "Eighteen", is praying to the sacred shrines and shrine buildings in this area.
The Kamiya River itself also has a "Lord of the World Shrine" located among the shrines next to the shrine. As long as you pay a little attention, you can hear clearly what Shikijiro Shiba is saying——
It sounds like the miners dug something strange in the Aokigahara mine.
When Kamiya arrived at the entrance of the mine, he could see those sturdy Shikijiro, all gathered outside the entrance of the cave, staying with some ghost soldiers wearing heavy armor.
Most of Shikijiro didn't know what happened under the mine, and seemed a little confused.
They were just doing mining operations as usual, when suddenly they were asked by Shikijiro Twenty to leave the work area.
Kamiya found his dear model worker "Twenty" among the Shikijiro, learned more about the details, and then temporarily took back the [Ore Searching Needle].
The pointer on this ancient compass is still spinning wildly and disorderly.
After communicating with Shikijiro Jōji for a while, Isohime also arrived at the scene.
The mermaid princess did not come alone, she also brought two girls.
One is wearing a brown yukata and has maro eyebrows; the other has nine bright red tails clustered behind him.
Fu Ji from the raccoon tribe and Ajiu from the fox tribe.
These two little girls are the talkative people of the next generation of tanuki and kitsune tribes that Isohime stayed by her side to educate and train the next generation of tanukis and kitsunes in order to better digest the power of the Iyotanukis.
He is considered an international student from Takamagahara.
"Owner."
Ji Ji dragged her thin golden dragon tail to Kamiya's side.
The vixens and vixens who followed her bowed their heads after respectfully greeting their leader.
Among them, Ah Fu frequently glanced curiously at the Divine Valley; while Ah Jiu lowered his head deeply and narrowly focused his gaze on his toes.
"Isohime, you came just in time. I want to go down to see the situation, and I'll leave it to you to evacuate the people in Aokigahara." Kamiyagawa handed over the key to the Kisaragi train to Isohime, and called out the scouts, who were beside Isohime.
He left an outer body.
"Okay, Master."
Jiji never objects to her master's decision.
Moreover, Kamiyagawa and his shikigami were originally the strongest fighting force in Takamagahara.
If he sends others to go down into the mine with his master, he might even be holding him back.
After explaining what happened outside, Kamiya grabbed the [Ore Searching Needle] and quickly entered the entrance of the Aokigahara Mine.
Isohime watched his back disappear into the darkness, and then began to use the Kisaragi train to dispatch the ghost soldiers in the Aokigahara area to evacuate the ghosts and monsters in the area.
Fu Ji and Ah Jiu, the two little clerks, naturally followed their leader to help.
Ah Fu among them asked: "Lord Ji Ji, is there any danger under the mine?"
"I don't know yet, but there might be."
"Is it okay for Mr. Kamiya to go in alone? I either doubt Mr. Kamiya's strength, or...he is a unique leader." The little female raccoon blinked her pink eyes.
Ah Jiu on the side also shook her red fox ears and came closer.
It can be seen that she seems to care about this issue.
"Um……"
Isohime didn't say that the master seemed to have entered alone, but in fact he brought a group of extremely powerful shikigami with him.
It is also not said that there is a shrine in the Aokigahara area, so the owner will not die essentially.
After a brief pause, the mermaid princess simply spoke to Ah Fu and Ah Jiu: "Master always takes the lead."
After all, she is the internal affairs manager of Takamagahara. While directing the handling of emergencies, Isohime never forgets to seize opportunities, thus establishing an image for Kamiyagawa in the hearts of the little girls from the fox and fox tribes.
…
It was dark inside the mine, and the oil lamp hanging on the rock wall gave off a faint light.
However, Kamiyakawa narrowed his eyes and could see clearly in the darkness. This environment had no impact on him.
However, the pointer of the [Mining Needle] in my hand is still spinning around, completely unable to guide the way.
Therefore, Kamiya could only call out a scout and let him lead him to explore the depths of the mine.
The interior of the mine extends in all directions, and it took a while to reach the bottom.
At the end of a passage, Kamiya found the strange tunnel dug by Shikijiro 20.
In this tunnel with no obvious traces of artificial excavation, Kamiya River did see a golden torii blocking it.
The torii gate, which was supposed to represent the sacred, was embedded in a damp, dark and claustrophobic small environment, making it look extremely strange.
Moreover, one can clearly feel an ancient and sneaky atmosphere, permeating the air from below the tunnel.
"The golden torii..."
Looking up and down at the torii gate, Kamiyagawa called back his scouts, took out his boy Kiri and stepped closer.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As you get closer, you can clearly feel the powerful spiritual power contained in the golden torii gate.
Kamiya raised his hand and knocked on the pillar of the torii, his face became a little surprised: "Isn't this thing made of gold? No, this powerful spiritual power cannot belong to ordinary metal... Yunling Hardware
Gengjin in it?”
That was really a treasure trove.
Shikijiro 20 is not only my dear model worker, but also a blessed general!
And since there is a torii, it is very likely that there is a shrine deeper in this tunnel.
"If this torii is really made of the highest extraordinary metal material, it would be really generous. I don't know which god it corresponds to."
With strong curiosity, the brave Kamiya, who is an expert in art, continued to explore the depths of the tunnel.
This passage has no forks and is relatively narrow, barely enough for one person to pass through. After traveling for a while, the front suddenly becomes clear.
Kamiyagawa came to a relatively open underground space.
"I didn't expect that there is such a place deep underground in the Aokigahara area that I have always controlled... It feels like I have cleared this place for a long time and suddenly opened a hidden map."
On the rock wall of the underground cave, irregular granular golden yellow is inlaid everywhere, and there are strange glimmers of light everywhere.
Kamiyagawa stared and looked at the rock wall around him. He could easily find irregular-shaped placer-like lumps of bright gold. They were embedded in the mixed black rocks, with no sharp edges and corners, and the surface was smooth and honeycomb-shaped.
Small potholes.
Regardless of the strong spiritual power and extraordinary properties it contains, natural gold ore like this can be called valuable "dog head gold".
"This should be the vein of Gengjin, right?"
Developed!
Shengu broke off a piece of "dog-headed gold" from the rock wall and planned to show it to Sister Jue for appraisal when he went out.
Although he is stronger than all other gods, the process of removing the gold mine is a bit laborious.
This is what happens in the Aokigahara mine. It is not a professional monster like Shikijiro. Mining here is particularly difficult.
After taking a sample, Kamiya temporarily put aside the other ores on the rock wall that were suspected of being heptin gold.
He continued walking forward with his knife in hand, and soon found a dazzling shrine in the center of the underground cave.
The area of the shrine is not too large, but it is magnificent. The painted pillars and carved beams seem to be made of gold just like the torii gate outside.
On the plaque of the shrine, only the word "Golden Mountain" is written.
Now, Kamiyagawa could roughly determine which god this shrine belonged to.
Jinshan Bigu God.
The craftsman ancestor god who masters mines and ores.
It was Kamiyagawa who had previously learned about the craftsman ancestor god who was madly persecuting Craftsman Kaitan for unknown purposes.
"I see."
After confirming the ownership of the shrine, Kamiyakawa thought of something else.
It is not an ancient myth and legend related to the god Jinshan Pigu, but a shrine in the real world——
Gogan Shrine.
The main enshrinement in this real-life shrine is the god Kinzan Biko.
The Gogan Shrine located in Kyoto is very unique, and the most eye-catching thing is the torii gate at the entrance of the shrine.
It's also golden.
The torii gates of Japanese shrines are not all standard wooden ones painted vermilion, there are also some special ones, such as stone or metal.
Gogan Shrine is one of the representatives.
It seems that the original torii of that shrine was actually made of wood, but it was destroyed during a typhoon and was later changed to iron.
Later, a gold leaf shop donated gold leaf to affix it to the torii, giving it a striking golden color.
Although there is an element of coincidence, it unexpectedly fits together with the "Kanayama Shrine" found in Tsunei Aokigahara's mine.
According to mythological records, the god Jinshan Pigu is a descendant of Izanami.
He was a god who was born from the vomit vomited by Izanami after being burned by the fire god Kagutsuchi.
He is the god who controls mines and minerals, so he is in charge of metal tools used in daily life, so he is the earliest craftsman god born.
Practitioners in the forging of ancient weapons and agricultural tools, such as swords, mirrors, and hoes, as well as modern related industries such as large farming tools, printing presses, factory machines, and automobiles, will seek the blessing of this god.
And because gold among metals is also a mineral, Jinshan Pigu God is also the God of Wealth.
The Gogan Shrine alone is famous for praying for "golden luck". Currency, real estate, financial management, etc. are all widely included in the scope of its prayers.
"The shrine belongs to Kanayama Hikomei, who is also the god of fortune and wealth. No wonder it has such a magnificent appearance."
"I used to think of the Aokigahara mine pit as belonging to the deified goddess of Mount Fuji, Konohana Kaiyehime. But then I thought about it. All kinds of precious metal materials can be mined here. It is somewhat unreasonable to belong to the volcano goddess. But if This mine belonged to Jinshan Pigu God even longer ago, so it seems very reasonable."
Kamiya held a knife and walked around the inside and outside of Jinshan Shrine.
But I didn't find anything special worth paying attention to.
The only thing worth mentioning is that although the Jinshan Shrine hidden deep underground is magnificent, it feels a bit weird and weird for no reason.
In fact, it is not consistent with the authoritative temperament of Jinshan Pigu God as the ancestor god of craftsmen and the god of luck and wealth.
"This is probably related to Jinshan Yanming's current strange state, but what is certain is that he is not here."
The shrine in the Aokigahara mine has no obvious aura of the gods.
But after exploring this place, Kamiyagawa has no plans to let Shikijiro and others in to collect gold mines yet.
He planned to let Crab Princess lead people to temporarily seal off the area around Aokigahara, and then study it in detail.
After all, Jinshan Bigu God is really weird. He is obviously the protector of craftsmen, but he is persecuting the weird craftsmen who are born to belong to him.
It is better to be cautious when it comes to matters related to this god.
Most of the Shikijiro men are of low strength and rashly come in to mine. If there is an accident, they might end up here.
Let’s leave the Gengjin ore for now, they won’t escape anyway.
probably not……
Kamiyagawa still has some conscience left.
He just wants all the Kaitans under his control to work well, but at the same time, he will try his best to ensure their safety.
At the very least, he would not treat the weird stories under his rule as consumables as a matter of course.
Therefore, it is better to "deposit people" first and then "withdraw money".
After completing the simple exploration, Kamiyagawa took out the [Ore Searching Needle] again, only to find that the compass needle was still spinning randomly.
This is still the case even next to Kanayama Shrine.
Very strange.
[Ore-seeking needle] Now it is probably influenced by Jinshan Shrine, but I don’t know what it refers to.
Maybe it’s Jinshan Bigu God himself who is in an unknown place?
"This time I excavated the Jinshan Shrine, I always feel that it may involve something related to Jinshan Bigu God. It may be an opportunity for Sister Jue and the others to deal with the 'curse' of the ancestor god."
"It's just that the ten-thousand-year-old bamboo forest on Iyo's side is still growing, and we don't know when it will be connected to the Moon Palace."
"And Takihime also said that she might cause chaos when encountering a demon..."
Kamiya feels that there are a little more unknown situations that he has to face now.
But then again, the so-called chaos during the devil's time may not be an independent incident, but may also be directly related to the Jinshan God or the Moon Palace.
After all, the last "special encounter with demons" they faced was eight hundred nuns and leeches.
If special encounters with demons were really directly related to gods, Kamiyagawa wouldn't be too surprised now.
