I loaded the ghost talk game

The shrine of Takamagahara.

The next day after ringing the bell, Kamiyakawa got his wish and met the medicine seller.

He first bought all the [Life Extension Purple Gold Cream] from this old acquaintance, and then picked out some wound medicine and other pills and powders to resist different abnormal conditions, just in case of emergency.

By the way, I also bought some more [Qiangshen Jiuwei Pills].

"...That's pretty much the situation."

During the process of buying medicine, Kamiya roughly shared the information collected by Amado Iwa and Tsuchimikado with the medicine seller.

"You mean, the last person to ascend the throne of co-lord of ghosts and gods was Abe Seimei?"

"The information recorded on the Tsuchimikado Gate is like this, so I want to confirm the information on your side. You told me before that people who tried to become the co-master of ghosts and gods a thousand years ago were able to enter this hall. , it’s Ashiya Michimitsu.”

"It's indeed Ashiya Michitoshi." The medicine seller nodded. Because he was painted with oil paint, his face that could never see his true emotions showed a look of reminiscence. "However, it was impossible to enter this magical place thousands of years ago." The person in the hall is my master, and the person who met Ashiya Michimi is also my master. Ashiya Michimi was mentioned to me casually by him, so there should be no reason for him to lie."

"Your master..."

"Well, you should know that my master led a group of boys to the east to find the elixir of death."

"Elixir, have you found it?"

The medicine seller's purple-painted lips curved up a little, and then he raised his finger and pointed at himself:

"Of course I have found it. Otherwise, how could you see me now? You have already known the so-called elixir of death in Shengu - the ritual of 'flesh and spirit bone' to become a god."

"During the time when Ashiya Michitoshi was trying to become a co-master of ghosts and gods, my master and I had been in Japan for nearly a thousand years. At that time, the other boys who had traveled east were no longer alive. My master had already transformed into a god, and I reluctantly became one with a shrine to enshrine. Aragami. However, my master probably found something else in the process of searching for the 'elixir of death'. I don't know what it was specifically. I can only confirm that it is related to his subsequent disappearance."

Kamiyagawa: "Then you never came into contact with Ashiya Michitoshi and Abe Seimei, right?"

"Yes, no. Not long after that, Master disappeared. He once had a connection with this shrine, and after he disappeared, this connection was inherited by me. But since then, I can no longer feel Takamagahara’s presence.”

"So I can only travel around, continuing the ritual of 'flesh, spirit and bone' while searching for the whereabouts of my master. Although I have a dull talent, if I live for a long time, I will encounter good luck once or twice. After a long time, , I got the divine bones sold by Beibi by accident. Two years ago, I felt Gao Tianyuan reappear. When I come here, I will see you Kamiya."

The medicine seller continued.

Although he spoke in an understatement, it can be felt that his process of becoming a craftsman god was quite difficult and lasted even longer.

And it sounds like he doesn't know much about the changes in the co-ownership of ghosts and gods in Gaotianyuan.

The information about the former co-master of ghosts and gods has still not been advanced.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that the person who tried to ascend the throne of God at the beginning of the Heian Period was indeed Ashiya Michimitsu.

But something may have happened later, and finally Abe Seimei, who was guided by Tenden's female destiny, took this position and fought against Huang Quan.

After some discussion, Kamiyagawa only came to this conclusion:

"So, if you want to know the information related to the previous co-master of ghosts and gods, you may have to find the eastwarder who is looking for the elixir of death? Although I don't know if he has met Abe Seimei, but at least he has met Ashiya Michitoshi. Direct contact.”

“Furthermore, according to what the medicine seller said, the disappearance of the Eastwarder seems to have occurred at the end of the Heian period, when the position of the co-masters of ghosts and gods changed... I wonder if there is some kind of connection between the two. "

…

After talking to the medicine seller, Kamiyakawa went to the temple inside the shrine.

This is where there is a statue of the goddess of life, Suzuhiko-hime.

"Immature co-master of ghosts and gods, welcome to Takamagahara. I am Suzuhiko-hime, the one who is destined to guard this place and serve you. If you need help to rebuild Takamagahara and regain the throne..."

Mei Ji, whose skin is as white as snow and whose red dress is as red as fire, is still sitting at the feet of the statue of the goddess Tiantian like a puppet on strings as usual, and the words she speaks are the same as before.

Until, Kamiyakawa took out the pale divine skeleton belonging to Tian Tian Nu Ming in front of her.

Suzuhiko Ji was in a daze at first, and then a trace of complicated emotions flashed through her empty eyes: "You... collected the bones of the previous witch."

"The last witch, Abe Seimei's 'shaman'?"

"He was originally the god I served." Suzuhiko Ji's tone was robotic and she answered the question incorrectly.

Therefore, Kamiya could only tentatively change the question: "You were arranged to be my 'witch', right?"

"The co-master of ghosts and gods needs the guidance of witches, so I am waiting here, waiting to serve you."

"When?"

"When you become an Aragami and can bear my power to a minimum, I will make a contract with you. The co-master of ghosts and gods and the gods and wizards share their power and make up for each other." Suzuhiko Hime said this, and suddenly turned her attention to Kamiya River. On the left wrist, "But now, you seem to have other candidates to become witches. I'm afraid there will be no way to make a contract between us."

Kamiyakawa shook his left hand, letting the slender red rope float out from his wrist.

It seems that the other candidate to become a "witch" is Yinga.

"The co-master of ghosts and gods and the witches share their power and make up for each other..." Kamiya tried to analyze the meaning of Suzuhiko-hime's words in his mind.

So, part of the meaning of the existence of the witch is to help the co-lord of ghosts and gods become stronger?

The former Abe Seimei was not the first choice to become the co-leader.

It was probably after some kind of accident happened to Ashiya Michitoshi that he was ordered to do so in a critical situation. So Qingming was able to ascend to the position of co-master of ghosts and gods in a relatively short period of time, perhaps because his shaman, the goddess Tiantian, shared her power with him?

"If things develop step by step and Suzuhiko-hime becomes my shaman, then after I reach the level of Aragami, my strength should increase very quickly, right?" Kamiyagawa thought this way.

However, this option seems to be gone now.

Kamiyagawa circled around the Amado Rock and came out again. Due to the power of the Child Goddess, this "contract of the witch" seemed to have been tied to Onizuka.

Letting the red line on his left wrist disappear again, Kamiya looked at Suzuhiko-hime at the feet of the statue: "Now that it's done, what's the way to make other candidates completely become my witches?"

"..."

no respond.

"Who asked you to wait for me here? Who wants me to become the co-master of ghosts and gods?" Kamiya asked again.

"..."

Still no response.

Kamiyakawa stayed in the temple for another ten minutes, but was unable to have another word with Suzuhiko-hime.

She seemed to have turned back into that dull, lifeless doll.

no way.

I could only withdraw from the temple temporarily.

"I don't know how Hotaru can replace the original Suzuhiko-hime and become a qualified wizard. Anyway, she should become stronger first, right?"

"By the way, with the change in the selection of the witch, I seem to have lost an opportunity to increase my combat power."

Although it was a pity, Kamiya soon felt relieved.

Once upon a time Abe Seimei's shaman was Tenden's female destiny. The divine witch assigned to him is Suzuhikoji, the subordinate god of Tiantian Nu.

The gap between the two is huge.

There is such unfair treatment, probably because the gods were withered in the last battle between gods.

"So, even if Suzuhiko Ji becomes a shaman according to the original arrangement, the power obtained from her will definitely be far less than what Zeng Qingming obtained from Tian Tian Nu Ming."

In fact, rather than feeling regretful, Kamiyakawa felt a strange sense of relief.

The original candidates for the witches, whether it was the former Tian Tian Nu Ming or the current Suzuhiko Hime, were all assigned to the co-master of ghosts and gods to receive.

They should represent the forces of the old Takamagahara.

"Suzuhiko-hime was arranged to wait for me on Takamagahara, but who arranged her? Abe Seimei? Or the more distant master of Takamagahara, Amaterasu, or even Izanagi?"

According to the records from Tsuchimikado, Abe Seimei died in the last divine battle and roughly sealed Hirazaka.

According to previous thoughts, Amaterasu and even Izanagi should have fallen.

But what if they don't?

What if their power still exists in some way, but just like the sealed underworld, they cannot directly affect the eternal world?

"I feel that before the last battle between gods, Gao Tianyuan very much needs to cultivate a co-master of ghosts and gods to fight against Huang Quan. Hmm...'take orders in times of crisis'."

Therefore, even if the power of Amaterasu and even Izanagi still exists, the impact should be very limited.

But now, Huang Quan, who has been sealed for thousands of years, is ready to make a move.

Gao Tianyuan once again came to the critical autumn of life and death.

Therefore, Kamiyagawa was selected as the candidate for the co-master of ghosts and gods and appeared on Takamagahara.

"If the power of Amaterasu and even Izanagi really still exists and can freely affect the eternal world, it will definitely be much better for them to end up in person than as an external co-master of ghosts and gods like me. At this stage, I It should be indispensable to Gao Tianyuan, and it is related to the survival of this place."

Of course, all this is just Kamiya's speculation.

Maybe, the old gods on Gaotianyuan really no longer exist.

Moreover, whether it is the old Takamagahara or the new Takamagahara now led by Kamiya, the enemies of the old and new forces are the same, and their initial interests are also the same. They all have to solve the disaster of Huangquan first to prevent the complete destruction of Takamagahara and prevent it from completely engulfing Izumo.

But, just in case.

What if Kamiya really takes the position of co-master of ghosts and gods in the future and solves the disaster of Huangquan.

Then the leader of the old plateau force suddenly appears, so who should I listen to in the Izumo realm?

Therefore, it is best for the old Takamagahara forces to really be destroyed and unable to make a comeback.

If this is the case, Kamiyagawa can even sincerely regard Amaterasu and Izanagi, the former masters of Takamagahara, as his predecessors to remember.

But I am afraid that they are half dead and may even have a chance to make a comeback when the underworld dissipates.

According to Kamiya’s personal opinion, I would like to say something unpleasant——

If I really get the upper hand, then the dead eldest brother is the good eldest brother.

"Although the change in the selection of the divine witch is just an accident, if we consider the possibility in such a long future... it is definitely better to have Hotaru as my shaman than Suzuhiko-hime, who was selected by the old Takamagahara. The sharing of power between the co-lords of ghosts and gods and the witches is not a trivial matter no matter how you think about it, right?"

…

In this world, the Kamiyagawa family is located in Arakawa District.

Spacious and tidy basement with wooden floor.

Snapped!

The two wooden knives collided violently in the air, and the impact sound echoed in the empty space.

"Too slow!"

Snapped!

"focus!"

Snapped!

"The breath is messed up!"

"..."

Snapped!

Another short but fierce exchange of swords.

The glistening sweat droplets on the girl's nose and forehead flew out, and were crushed together with the dull and flying dust in the basement by the blade of the wooden knife.

"Okay, that's it for today."

Kamiya finally put away the wooden sword.

Tsurumi also sheathed his sword and bowed to his teacher.

Today is the day when the second disciple Tsurumi Aoi comes to the house to practice kendo.

During the master-disciple battle, Kamiyagawa's teaching attitude was much stricter than usual.

However, such education can still be effective.

Thanks to the one-on-one tutoring from famous teachers and the practical sparring provided by the Xiqi Boys, Tsurumi Aoi's kendo level has improved a lot.

In the last actual combat training, she was able to fight seven headless high school students with a single letter in hand.

At the end of today's teaching, Kamiyagawa could feel that Tsurumi was about to touch the threshold of the advanced secret "Silk Beating".

Sure enough, talking about actual combat with monsters is the best way to hone your extraordinary swordsmanship.

Or, because Mary has been stably enshrined in Yoshikoji Temple, Tsurumi's blessing power has been restored.

It’s just that it’s no longer the “blessing of Mahakala”, but the “blessing of Mary”.

After all, Mary was Tsurumi Aoi's master wife, so she gave the second disciple more care than Mahakala.

The protective power of this blessing is slightly stronger than before, but it is still at a level that can interfere with the behavior of C-level and lower kaidans, and can directly drive back those C-level and lower kaidans who are somewhat sane.

However, the existence of blessing has a certain increase in Tsurumi Aoi's physical fitness, and turning it on and off is no longer passive.

Rather, it is controlled by her own thoughts.

Sure enough, after following Kamiya, the benefits are great.

After finishing her training, Tsurumi Aoi went to the bathroom on the first floor to take a shower as usual. After changing into dry clothes, Oishi drove her back to Chiyoda's apartment.

After bidding farewell to the teacher's driver and returning home, the girl sat down on the sofa in the living room, thinking to herself: "I haven't seen Senior Sister Kanoya in the past week."

I heard from Teacher Kamiya that senior sister also has her own practice to do.

"It feels like more powerful swordsmanship training."

Although I only meet occasionally at the teacher's house, I don't have too in-depth contact with him. But when he thought of the senior sister whose personality was so out of character that it was difficult to deal with, but who was outstanding enough to defeat C-level monsters, Tsurumi Aoi stood up from the sofa again.

She didn't know if it was because Yimonji and Miss Mary's blessing had strengthened her physical fitness to a certain extent. She felt that after today's practice, she still had some strength left.

Tsurumi Aoi picked up the vibrator in the spacious living room: "Let's practice a few more sets of vibrators."

He was meticulous and performed an extra two hundred times, and Tsurumi's body was covered with a thin layer of hot sweat.

And the time now is already eight o'clock in the evening.

The next step is to do some stretching, take a hot bath, eat something, and then finish today's homework.

She has always been so disciplined in her life.

The main bathroom in Tsurumi's apartment is very large, with dry and wet areas separated. There is a dressing area outside, and the bathroom is separated by frosted glass inside.

In the dressing room, she took off her sweat-soaked clothes and put them into the dirty clothes basket, leaving only two pieces of white underwear on her body.

And just when she was about to take off the last two thin strands of fabric——

Sizzle, sizzle.

The lights in the dressing room flickered as if there was a bad connection, flickering on and off along with the noisy sound of electricity.

There is also the sound of water dripping.

Snapping.

It came clearly from the bathroom.

The frosted glass of the bathroom door was covered with a thick layer of water mist, and the water droplets gathered into a winding and dirty stream flowing down.

On the other side of the glass, something seemed to be shaking and twitching, but only a vague shadow outline could be seen.

Immediately afterwards, the hoarse and strange singing voice of an old woman came from inside: "Wash the beans, catch people to eat, swipe, swipe, swipe."

You can vaguely feel the murderous intent of that thing.

Here we go again, Granny Douchi from last time.

Tsurumi Aoi frowned in disgust, and her voice came out from behind clenched teeth:

"It's hard to... clean up."

Then she walked out of the bathroom wearing only her underwear and came to the living room.

The lights in the living room flickered on and off, and in the overlapping light and darkness, a sharp arc of indigo slid out, light and clear. (End of chapter)
