It seemed that because of the influence of the red line, all the pale palms on Saruta Hikoto's chest became motionless.
But soon, the intensive sound of flesh and blood colliding and slapping sounded once again in Saruta Hiiko's chest.
Those pale and swollen palms resumed action, but this time they no longer tried to grab anything, but instead tried their best to tear at the fleshy gap in Saruta Hikomoto's chest.
But at this time, the already weak and embarrassed Sarutahiko Mikoto himself was still in a stiff state similar to the chanting and swaying before "activating the ultimate move".
This gave Kamiyagawa and Mary, who launched a double-team attack on him, an opportunity to take advantage of it.
The Doji Kiri and Onikiri in Kamiyagawa's hands were buzzing and twisted into Saruta Hikomei's face.
Mary's bloody machete slashed into the back of His neck.
They succeeded in the attack without stopping at all, and the second round of more violent attacks was like a gust of wind and rain, slashing at Saruta Hikomei.
Pieces of flesh, black maggots and dirty blood slid down from his body like a waterfall. Old wounds overlapped with new ones, and were riddled with holes. For a moment, the statue was suspended in the air, rotten, filthy, and as heavy as a mountain.
The Yin Shen of Huangquan has a tendency to collapse.
At this moment, at the entrance of Tianhu Grottoes.
Onizuka Kirihota held the red bow of the childlike goddess in her hand, looked up, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Achuan and the others are going to win."
The red line just now was of course shot by Onizuka with the red bow in his hand.
One end of the slender lines wrapped around the swollen palms on Saruta Hikomei's chest, and the other end wrapped around the intact Amado bronze mirror next to the little miko.
"Just like what I thought, the red thread shot by this bow can be connected through entanglement to strengthen the original connection between things."
As for how to use this red bow, which originated from the goddess of childhood, Onizuka accidentally discovered it during his previous attempt to escape the pursuit of the Onmyoji Necromancer Group of Tsuchimikado.
At that time, she was in Tsuchimikado Village and was intercepted by the onmyoji group and the ghost of Chikako Takehara. In desperation, she shot the miko of the Takehara family with a red bow.
Then, the red thread shot out together with the demon-breaking arrow wrapped around the Takehara family shrine maiden, and also wrapped around the photo of Kanemaru Shizuji in her hand.
At that moment, Chigako Takehara's behavior changed——
No longer obsessed with seeking revenge on Onizuka who injured her, she instead shouted hysterically the name of "Kanemaru Shizuji" and rushed towards the undead souls of Tsuchimikado Onmyoji.
Onizuka speculated that the connection of the red rope may have strengthened the connection between Chikako Takehara and Shizuji Kanemaru.
It is even possible that Chikako Takehara's obsession with Kanemaru Shizuji restored some of her fragmented memories during her lifetime.
You must know that under the erosion of the miasma in the Tsuchimikado area, the victims who died here and turned into undead souls were extremely crazy and violent, and completely lost their minds.
This influence of miasma is particularly obvious on ordinary people without spiritual power.
Take the couple Yuri Sakai and Taito Toshima.
Tito loved Yuri deeply during his lifetime and was willing to take risks for her.
But after Taito died, he turned into an evil spirit under the influence of the Tsuchimikado area. The first thing he did was to return to his lover and kill him with his own hands.
Even if Chikako Takehara is a shrine maiden selected by the Tendo Shaman Festival, she cannot be compared to ordinary people. However, after her death, she has been trapped in the Tsuchimikado area for hundreds of years. How crazy will her undead spirit be?
Just imagine.
Even if Kanemaru Shizuji himself appeared in front of her, she might kill the one she loved with her own hands like Toyoshima Taito.
After the red rope connected Chikako Takehara to the black and white photo, judging from Chikako's attack on the dead spirit of Tsuchimikado Onmyoji, it seems that she wanted to avenge her lover Shizuji Kanemaru who died at the hands of the Tsuchimikado clan.
.
Although Chigako was still crazy at that time, she could not be said to be very rational.
But her obsession with Kanemaru Shizuji must have been strengthened by the red rope.
It was precisely out of this consideration that Onizuka Kirihotari tried to connect those pale palms with the Amado bronze mirror.
Onizuka just got some new information about what happened on Amado Iwa.
She already knew where the palms on Saruta Hikomei's chest, including the God of Broken Fate in the shape of the palms, came from.
Those things were made from the contaminated flesh and blood of Tiantian Nu who committed suicide and split her divine body.
They were once part of the shrine ancestral goddess.
In other words, they are the current Tiantian female destiny.
The story begins when Onitsuka Kirihotaru filled in the last piece of the Amado bronze mirror——
At that time, Onizuka was surrounded by Onmyoji undead souls led by Tsuchimikado Yasifuku, but was soon rescued by Mari who came over.
As a god, Mary, when faced with an Aragami-level Onmyoji Necromancer Group, would of course wipe out all of them effortlessly.
After handling everything, Mary immediately escaped into the red mist and went to Kamiya River to help fight.
Onizuka Kirihotari stayed alone in the cave.
She saw the dead souls of Tsuchimikado Onmyoji turn into ashes and slowly dissipate, and she also saw a thick and yellowed ancient book falling where Tsuchimikado Taifuku slowly disappeared.
That book records the Onmyoji of Seimei Kikyo.
It is a technique note left by the great onmyoji Abe Seimei of the Heian period.
It was mentioned in the manuscript of Toshiya Sakai that was found earlier that Abe Seimei's secret method of Onmyodo was passed down in Tsuchimikado village, which is only preserved in Tsuchimikado's main family.
This should be it.
Onizuka stepped forward to pick up the ancient book, seized the last opportunity, and channeled Tsuchimikado Yaifuku.
From this, she mastered the secrets of the gods that only the successive heads of the Tsuchimikado family knew, and also saw the end of the Tsuchimikan direct line——
…
Tsuchimikado Residence.
The environment of the mansion was so messy that it was difficult to see clearly, but there was no light from the sun and the moon, and it was dark.
It is somewhat similar to the scene of being engulfed by fog in the future.
Firelight flickered everywhere in Tsuchimikado's mansion, and the sounds of erratic footsteps, shrill wails, and fierce fighting were heard.
In such a chaotic situation, the head of the Tsuchimikado family, Fukuyasu Tsuchimikado, just sat quietly in the study, numbly flipping through a handwritten book that he had read countless times——
[...Before the death of the goddess Zhiri, she handed over the Tianhu Bronze Mirror and the Zhiri Bow to Tiandian Nu, who had a good relationship with her.]
[…Ancestor Abe Seimei was ordered to do so when he was in danger, and he lived up to expectations and ascended to the position of "Co-Lord". The Tenden no Ming who had previously been selected and guided Seimei was the most suitable candidate for a "witch"... The Tenden no Ming blessed the Abe family.]
[The gods of Underworld came fiercely, and the war between gods broke out... The battle between gods was fierce, and the gods withered... After this battle, Seimei died, but the portal of Underworld Hirazaka was also roughly sealed. At this point, the world of ghosts and gods was completely separated from the human world, and turned into the ordinary world.
In this world... the legacy of the underworld still exists, especially in the Qingshui Mountain area near Kyoto.]
[Although the descendants of the Abe clan do not have the power of their ancestors, they will inherit the legacy of their ancestors and guard this place for generations.]
[Qingshui Mountain]
[In the Qingshui Mountain area, there is a gap leading to "Amado Rock", one of the battlefields of the divine war. After the separation of the eternal world and the present world, Amado Rock is no longer between the two lives, it is vast and void.]
[Tiandian Nu Ming]
[Saruta Hiiko-no-ming, who went to hell, fell on the Amado Rock battlefield. After Saruta Hiko-mie's death, Aden's female destiny was in danger of falling into hell because of her entanglement with her former husband... Saruta Hiko-mie was most likely to rely on Tenden
The divine body of female life revives...]
[...Before she completely degenerated into the underworld and caused irreversible disasters, Tenden no Ming committed suicide at Amado Rock and split herself, thereby severing her marriage connection with Saruta Hiiko and suppressing Saruta's revival... Tenden no Ming
The blood of the flesh and blood gods has been contaminated and turned into wild gods, eating away at the faith of their temples and shrines.]
[The grievances between Tenden's female life and Saruta Hiko's life could not be dissipated on Amado Rock, forming a night carving. Once the night carving appeared, hundreds of miles of wasteland would be destroyed.]
[Amado Shaman Festival]
[Witch rituals are bloody and cruel, contrary to human ethics, but they can indeed prevent the resurrection of the underworld god in Tiando Rock, and block the overflow of the night...]
[If the shamanic sacrifice fails, the descendants of Tsuchimikado will need to take the last resort...remember, remember...]
"The last resort."
Tsuchimikado Futai murmured like this, raised his head, closed his eyes, and closed the book in his hand.
The Tsuchimikado family has still come this far.
By this time, the chaotic sounds throughout the mansion had stopped.
Bang——
The study door was pushed open from the outside.
A man in his forties, who looked somewhat similar to Tsuchimikado Yasifuku, strode in.
This is Taifuku's youngest son, Tsuchimikado Tai'an.
He was originally supposed to be the successor to the next head of the Tsuchimikado family.
Tsuchimikado Taian held up a bloody straight sword and a torch in his right hand, and three bloody human heads in his left hand. He just walked into the dim study, and the sacrificial clothes on his body were stained with blood, and they were reflected in the light of the torch.
It looks even more ferocious underneath.
"Father."
"Um……"
"It's been taken care of. The clan members have all gone to the sacrificial building." Tai'an added.
"Um."
The old patriarch looked at his son and continued to nod numbly.
All the clan members went to the sacrificial building.
Maybe many people went there voluntarily.
But there will always be people who are unwilling, and there will always be people who don't want to die.
And the fate of "unwillingness" is already very clear——
The old patriarch looked at the head in his son's hand.
The face that was familiar in the past is now pale and unfamiliar, and the outline of the facial features is covered by haze. Only the unclosed eyes on the head can be seen wide open. It is unclear whether the last emotion left in the eyes is fear or resentment.
"Father," Tsuchimikado Tai'an called, and then he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed heavily, "Tai'an is leaving first."
"Um."
The old head of the Tsuchimikado family fell into a trance. When his eyes focused again, his son had already left the study.
Through the open door, you can see the faint light of fire moving in the direction of the sacrificial building in the darkness.
"The last resort."
The old man shook his head and stood up from the desk.
This is the fate of the Tsuchimikado clan.
He has stayed in the Qingshui Mountain area for generations, guarding the gap leading to the Amado Rock. He acted as the executioner, presided over the bloody witchcraft ceremony, and used human life to fill the cracks in the gap, so that the God of Underworld on the other side would not wake up and let the night stand.
It will not come to the human world.
And if the Amado Shaman Festival fails completely, Yakko's aura will leak out.
Then, the ancestor who developed the witch sacrificial ritual thousands of years ago also left the last remedy to future generations.
There is no other way——
The direct descendants of the Tsuchimikado family, those spiritual onmyoji, will use their lives and their blood to fill the sacrificial tower deep in the mansion.
The Tendo Shaman Festival has been going on at Tsuchimikado for nearly a thousand years.
Such a long sacrifice, the blood shed by the Tsuchimikado clan has long been associated with the Amado Shimon.
When Ye Ke is no longer able to stop it and pours out, the entire Tsuchimikado clan will be sacrificed alive. Through the last ceremony, the breath of Ye Ke can be suppressed as much as possible, and the entire village that has begun to be affected by Ye Ke will be suppressed.
They were all sent to a place similar to Amado Rock.
Not in the ordinary world, nor in the void of this world.
Tsuchimikado Yasifuku performed the last rites alone outside the memorial building.
After taking care of everything, he raised his hands and slowly straightened out the wrinkles on his clothes, straightened his waist as much as possible, and then walked towards the door of the memorial building.
"Only the last step is left."
Inside the pavilion, blood was flowing everywhere, and it was sticky and seemed to be warm.
The old master slowly walked up to the second floor and walked into the room where the Amado Bronze Mirror was once enshrined.
The smell of blood is strong here, and the corpses of clan members have piled up in mountains.
Tsuchimikado Taifuku saw his children also lying in a pool of blood, and they were also here...
Of course.
The old head of the family couldn't keep his eyes on his children, and finally just cast his eyes on the blood-stained straight sword blade on the ground.
It was white and bloody.
Taifu stepped forward, knelt down in front of the piles of corpses, and sat down on the ground.
When he looked up again, his hanging white hair was stained with blood and stuck to his wrinkled face.
Taifuku Tsuchimikado tidied up his clothes one last time, then picked up the straight sword that belonged to his youngest son and put it against his neck.
Since it is a sacrifice for the entire clan.
So as the head of the family with the strongest spiritual power, how could he be exempted?
"...Taifu is incompetent."
Tsuchimikado Yaifuku raised his chin slightly.
so--
Can people be treated and used like objects?
Can a person's destiny be arranged step by step, even life and death?
Tsuchimikado Yasifuku thinks this is okay.
Whether it is the life of his tribe, the life of his children, or even his own life, it is all OK.
This is sad.
But the people of the Tsuchimikado family are born with such a fate.
"What will happen next?"
Before slitting his own throat with the sword blade, Tsuchimikado Yasifuku asked himself this.
Suppose the thing inside Amado Rock is a time bomb that cannot be defused.
Then the people of the Tsuchimikado family have been guarding the bomb for generations, and every fixed time, they will hold the Tento Shaman Festival to delay the explosion of the bomb, so as to survive.
But when there is no other way, when the last ceremony must be held...
This bomb seemed to have been adjusted to a "random explosion" state, and then buried in a corner that no one knew about.
The only thing that is certain is that this bomb will explode, maybe decades later, maybe hundreds of years later.
Because no one can guard it anymore.
There is no Tsuchimikado family, and there is no shaman festival. In the void of Amado Rock, the Yakaki aura that the Tsuchimikado tribe suppressed with the lives of the entire clan will eventually continue to accumulate, and the God of Underworld will slowly wake up.
As long as the Yin Shen revives and breaks through the void with the breath of night, it will not be difficult.
It will be done sooner or later.
So, what will happen in the future?
Will someone come to save this place?
How to save it?
Tsuchimikado Yasifuku really doesn’t know.
And the thing in front of him was the last thing he could do.
"Maybe this is a relief?"
The blade of the straight sword passed across the neck without hesitation.
The old figure slumped down, and the warm blood spilled out, and merged with the blood on the ground...
The Tsuchimikado lineage is the direct descendant of the Great Onmyoji Abe Seimei.
After the Heian period, the fifth generation grandson of Seimei learned the "Amado Shaman Festival" and felt ashamed of his ancestors, so he stopped using the surname "Abe" and changed the family name to "Tsuchimikado".
Thousands of years later, in the generation of Tsuchimikado Yasifuku, the whole family died in the Yokotsu disaster due to the failure of the witchcraft festival.
The direct line of Tsuchimikado was completely severed.
