This is the place where a lay disciple of the Tianshi Mansion lives. The Tianshi Mansion is on Longhu Mountain. In terms of martial arts classification, it is related to Qingcheng Mountain and Wudang Mountain. It has both boxing and swordsmanship, but it is not as intensive as the first two.
On the other hand, there are lay disciples who do not become monks and come to the mountain to practice swordsmanship. After a few years, after learning something, they will choose to go down the mountain to pursue their career.
This is where such a disciple originally lived.
It's just that this time is given to Wei Yuan and A Xuan.
That disciple came to Sakurajima to start a career, and the people who cooked at home were full of things and seasonings. According to him, when he first came here, he was quite interested in Sakurajima delicacies, such as sushi.
I often eat ramen, but after a week, I feel like I have a bird's eye feeling in my mouth.
There are just so many tricks over and over again.
It was not easy to buy Chinese seasonings at that time.
He finally got it and cooked himself a portion of fresh ground vegetables and a portion of scrambled eggs with tomatoes overnight.
After eating three large bowls in one go, I felt like I had regained my soul.
People's taste habits are developed when they are young and adjusted by their parents and hometown.
So no matter how far you are from your hometown, or how long it has been, the taste your stomach is most accustomed to is still the same taste. Some are egg fried rice, and some are grilled naan with chili meat. Wei Yuan looked at the white little Taoist priest going towards it.
The rice was filled with a layer of diced green and red peppers. I took a spoon and put it into my mouth, and my eyes twitched.
He suddenly knew why there was not a single bit of pepper fish head left that day.
The little Taoist priest Ah Xuan ate a bowl of rice with satisfaction. He noticed Wei Yuan's gaze and said with some embarrassment: "We at Longhu Mountain are more able to eat spicy food. We have been used to it since we were young. Master Wei, what are you used to?"
vegetable?"
What are you used to?
Fish rice? Or...
Wei Yuan thought of those crude, primitive yet delicious dishes, and saliva secreted from the base of his tongue.
Thinking of the injuries caused by the forced use of Taoist magical powers and the close combat, Wei Yuan had an idea in his heart. After a while, Wei Yuan would worship me like the people in Chaoge City.
Mountain, or go there to get some meat and use your divine power to send it over.
There are many strange beasts that can strengthen the body and improve the blood.
He gradually confirmed this idea, noticed Ah Xuan's questioning gaze, and said with a smile:
"...barbecue."
"The kind of barbecue that is burned with some wood and has a dark skin."
"This is what I often ate in the beginning."
Ah Xuan nodded, feeling that such a diet was still simple in today's era of abundant products. After eating and drinking, Wei Yuan returned to the bedroom to rest. Yesterday, he used Tiangang's magical power and Disha Zhengfa for free.
, the power of the mountain god's seal has long been exhausted.
Now after one day and one night, it is more than half full.
What happens next will still require this strength.
Wei Yuan put away the mountain god's seal.
He took out the red embroidered shoes again.
After what happened at the shrine, the spirituality of the red embroidered shoes was able to temporarily transform into a girl with double crotch hair. Wei Yuan even wondered if the environment in his home was suitable for various things to become spirits. Looking at her, she seemed to be exhausted. Wei Yuan
Yuan drew a few soul-nurturing charms, pasted them on the box, and asked her to go back and rest.
She also asked the soldiers of the Qi family to protect her.
Only then can you breathe in and out to nourish your Qi and maintain your practice.
……………………
One night passed.
The young Taoist got up with two dark circles under his eyes.
Because of his senior brother's reaction, he was worried for a whole night last night, and he just didn't dare to fall asleep.
I was afraid that when I fell asleep in the middle of the night, the gentle-looking and injured guard leader would get up and go out to do some trouble.
Maybe when I wake up the next day, the guard master will be on the headlines again.
If that were the case, he might be tempted to cry.
However, this is probably just my overthinking.
No matter what, the head of the guard hall also said that he would not do that kind of thing these days. Such a senior will never remain silent...
Ah Xuan, who had washed up with dark circles under his eyes, yawned and opened the door. He happened to see Wei Yuan, who was ready to go, wearing simple sportswear, and the eight-sided Han sword with a sheath on his back. The young Taoist was wide-eyed.
His eyes and whole body trembled, he woke up immediately, took a few steps forward, grabbed Wei Yuan, and almost shouted:
"Wait a minute, Master of Guards."
"You clearly said you wouldn't go out to make trouble these days."
"It's only been two days."
"Only two days!"
Wei Yuan turned his head, looked at this young Taoist priest who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and said helplessly: "I just said at that time that I didn't plan to do anything like this again in the next five days, but you don't need to ground me, right?
, I am not the young and beautiful girl I used to be. I finally came here and I want to take a look around."
"That's what you said back then!"
"This time it's different."
Wei Yuan said: "I just want to visit an old friend."
"Old friend?"
Ah Xuan was stunned and said suspiciously: "Master Wei, do you know anyone in Sakurajima?"
Wei Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, he came here a long time ago. I haven't seen him for a long time."
The young Taoist priest Ah Xuan pondered for a long time and asked seriously:
"Master of the Guard, why do we need you to carry the sword on your back?"
Wei Yuan: "......"
……………………
Finally, Wei Yuan went out.
Of course, Ah Xuan also set out with him.
The destination is Shiga Prefecture in Sakurajima. To be precise, it is the place where Gifu Prefecture and Shiga Prefecture meet. Ah Xuan was originally full of vigilance, but when he arrived at the destination, he was stunned. He was not thinking here.
It was a place of special significance like last time.
This is just a mountain peak.
Although it is also a famous mountain in Sakurajima, it is obviously not a place for revenge or trouble. Even in the worst case scenario, the commotion in this place will not be too big. Xuan felt a little relieved, even himself
They didn't even notice that they had already made the most pessimistic plan.
Wei Yuan smiled and said, "I said I just came here to see old friends."
The two walked up the mountain. The scenery here was quite good. There was a mountain god shrine on the mountain. It was just called a mountain god shrine. In fact, there was a Buddhist temple on the mountain. It was a mixture of mountain god worship and Buddhist temple.
Because it is one of Sakurajima's top 100 famous mountains, there are not many people coming and going.
Wei Yuan looked around at the shrine. At least it looked very clean and elegant.
Some people prayed to the gods and shook their bells with sincere expressions. Others went to burn incense at a temple on the same mountain. A shrine attendant saw Wei Yuan and A Xuan and asked with a smile: "You two don't pray to the gods."
Do you want to pray? Ibukiyama Daimyojin is quite effective."
Ah Xuan quickly waved his hand and declined.
He is a Taoist priest, and he is a Taoist priest of the Zhengyi sect who teaches rituals.
If you were to worship a Shinto god here, you would probably be struck down by a thunderbolt from the Patriarch.
I originally wanted to pull Wei Yuan along, but I couldn't. When I turned around, I found Wei Yuan smiled and said:
"You're already here, it doesn't matter if you say goodbye."
A Xuan: "??!"
Wei Yuan took out a Sakurajima coin.
Throwing it out with a flick of his finger, the so-called sesame oil money was about to fall, but it landed strangely in the gap and stopped motionless. Wei Yuan took out the second one and threw it out again. The sesame oil money still happened to be stuck in the gap.
Between the gaps, it didn't fall into the box, but the godly waiter threw the money in.
Wei Yuan imitated Sakurajima's way of worshiping gods and clapped his hands, making a gesture of bowing slightly.
It's a bit like the etiquette of meeting someone.
The action hasn't started yet.
Accompanied by a clicking sound, a crack suddenly appeared on the ground of the shrine in front of him. The masonry in front of Ziwei Yuan began to crack, and it spread to the main body of the shrine. Then it continued upward, with vicious cracks, and finally stopped.
, the beams swayed, shaking off a lot of smoke and dust.
The shrine attendant was stunned and didn't know what to say.
Wei Yuan put down his hand, stared at the shrine for a while, and said politely: "It seems that I no longer have this fate."
Ah Xuan translated this sentence to the divine attendant. Wei Yuan seemed to have no interest in staying in front of the worship hall. After the two people left, the divine attendant still felt at a loss. Every time two people passed by the shrine,
It needs to be repaired every ten years, and it has not been ten years since the last repair was completed. If it is going to break, it should not break down so quickly.
He walked blankly to the spot where Wei Yuan was standing just now, subconsciously raising his hands to pray for God's blessing.
The movement faltered slightly.
Eyes widened.
It was only when he raised his hand that he noticed that the crack in the shrine's worship hall was exactly where the young man's palm had been raised just now. If he looked beyond his palm, the crack would be blocked, as if this shrine was not protected at all.
This worship.
Or maybe, I can't bear this prayer.
………………
Wei Yuan asked Ah Xuan to walk around here by himself, while he leaned on the tree trunk behind the shrine. The tree planted here is red maple. It is already late autumn, and the speed of falling maple leaves is slowly solidifying, and the divine aura
It overflowed and enveloped the entire shrine.
Wei Yuan raised his eyes slightly.
He raised his fingers and picked up the solidified maple leaves in the air.
Behind them, two young men in white were half-kneeling on the ground, their faces pale.
On the hilt of the Eight-sided Han Sword behind Wei Yuan, an iron eagle fluttered its wings, and the low eagle whistle sounded in the ears of the two mountain gods who exuded divinity, making them unable to stop recalling the past. They never expected that they would all
More than two thousand years have passed, and the evil god from back then has actually returned.
They wanted to jump off the mountain on the spot.
But I had to come.
Wei Yuan turned his head, stared at the two mountain gods, and said calmly: "I don't intend to kill you."
"But you have to pass a message to me."
His voice paused and he said:
"There should be another god on Mount Ibuki, right?"
……………………
The divine attendants and the chief priest of Ibuki Sanjin Shrine brought Wei Yuan, who was wearing simple clothes, into the highest-standard quiet room in the entire shrine with awe, presented him with fragrant tea, and then respectfully withdrew.
.
They had just received instructions from the gods to receive this distinguished guest.
It had been a long time since they had heard from the oracle, and they almost completely obeyed the instructions.
Wei Yuan picked up the tea and took a sip slowly.
He had just asked Ah Xuan to wait outside. What happened next was not suitable for letting this child know that the tea tasted okay, but not as good as the one from Longhu Mountain. Wei Yuan put down the teacup, sat cross-legged on the cushions, and slowly
Peel the orange slowly.
There were no lights on in the quiet room, only the light of two candles.
After a while, the candlelight suddenly flickered, as if something ominous appeared. On the wall opposite Wei Yuan, a shadow appeared, standing outside the door. Then, the door was slowly pushed open, and the entire room
The temperature of his body dropped suddenly. Wei Yuan opened his eyes and said calmly:
"Long time no see."
"I should call you Ibuki Daimyojin."
"It's still Yamata no Orochi."
"In other words"
Wei Yuan's voice paused and he said calmly: "Xiang Liu."
PS: Today’s second update…Thanks for grabbing your 20,000 starting points for Lollipop
The appearance of the mountain god Ibuki in "Kojiki" is a big white pig, and in "Nihon Shoki" it is a big white snake. The story told in this part is that the Japanese warrior wanted to compete with the mountain god on Mount Ibuki, but he was killed by his tenderness.
In "The Tale of the Heike Sword Scroll", Ibuki Daimyojin and Yamata no Orochi become equal signs.
