Chapter 687 Peach Exorcism
In Fusang Township, Sister Jue handed over the Qianyin Stone fragments that she had spent two days to transform to Shen Guchuan, and also gave a few more instructions:
"After you go to Yomi Hirasaka, this fragment of the Senbiki stone will be left there. I will keep it for safekeeping. If you encounter any trouble that you cannot solve, you can use the Senbiki stone on Hirasaka to teleport back."
"Don't worry about the transmission path. I have redesigned it. The Thousand Stone fragment we hold has been transformed by the Takamagahara Pass Token. Only you can activate this path."
I don’t know if it’s because my sister has newly mastered IT skills.
It seems that she is more adept at handling props like the Thousand-Point Stone Fragments, which require the design of more complex instructions.
Kamiyagawa: "Wait a minute, there is no limit to the number of times I can use the Thousand Pulling Stones, right?"
"No."
"I see. Let me test the effect of the round trip first."
Kamiyagawa was accompanied by Hoshiguma and Kinkuma on this trip to Hirasaka.
The two kings of Dajiang Mountain——
One turned into clear wine and soaked into the "Star Bear Cup".
The other one turned into a ferocious ghost and drilled into a heavy, cold, black iron chain.
The props that the two ghost kings inhabited were all transferred by Kamiyagawa into the [Mirage Bag], just like the Jizo statue of Yasakana.
After everything was ready, Kamiya touched and activated the Thousand Ink Stone fragments under the watchful eyes of Sister Jue.
On the broken stone slabs, the broken and complex patterns that seemed to have been eroded by wind first flickered with a turbid black light, making the originally pale stone surface look like a layer of melted asphalt.
Then there was a clear white light, flowing from the stone slabs like a spring.
The two kinds of light are entangled and confronting each other, yet clearly separated and do not blend with each other.
The Senbin Stone was originally used by Izanagi to seal Yomiuri, but was later used by Yomiuri to become a "gateway" connecting Yomiuri to the outside world. In other words, the power of Takamagahara and Yomiuri had both affected this stone.
This is probably the reason why the Senbin Stone can be transformed by the Takamagahara Communication Token and can be used by Kamiya River.
And at the moment when the fragments of the Thousand-Point Stone were activated and presented a strange scene, Kamiya River was enveloped by black and white light and disappeared on the spot.
……
It is different from the commonly used Takamagahara Shinto teleportation experience.
After using the Thousand Pulling Stones, Kamiya first drowned in nothingness, and after a few seconds, he finally saw colors in his sight.
It is still the dirty black and the holy white.
The two colors surged like the tide, colliding and tearing each other apart.
When black and white collided violently, of course, no sound of water could be heard. However, Shen Gu seemed to have heard something from the place where black and white collided.
It was an extremely low and dull voice.
It is as if every syllable uttered will trigger a strong resonance in the speaker's cranial cavity.
As for what the deep and resonating voice was saying, it was completely incomprehensible. Some of it sounded like boring chanting, but most of it was probably indistinguishable and meaningless mumbling.
The strange vision seen by the Qianyin Stone transmission did not last even for a second.
When Kamiyagawa quickly came to his senses, he was already able to keenly perceive the situation around him.
He saw a towering and majestic stone wall standing right in front of him.
It may be inaccurate to say it is a stone wall.
Because this huge wall goes straight into the clouds, the outline of the stone wall is clearly visible in the sky under the sunlight, but there is no end in sight if you continue upwards, like an iron curtain falling from the sky.
The same was true on both sides, with the walls extending steeply and curved. Even if Kamiyagawa focused his eyes, he could not see where the end of the stone wall was.
In addition, the stone wall was hard and rough, covered with traces of time. Each stone that made up the wall had been eroded by wind and rain for countless years, but it was still tightly inlaid together to form an indestructible whole. Kamiya Kawa also saw familiar complex patterns on the stone wall, similar to the patterns on the Qianyin Stone fragment he held.
"Is this thing a Thousand Drawing Stone? It's really different from what I originally imagined."
However, having such a huge structure across Hirasaka gives people a sense of security. The aura on the Senbiki is very stable, and the aura at every inch is as solid as a block of iron.
No wonder Huang Quan can’t get out.
According to Kamiyagawa's estimation, this huge Thousand-Ink Stone Wall could only be chiseled open by Ama-no-Ohabari in combination with the Amado Bronze Mirror.
Moreover, it is possible that the "missing piece" Hanari he possesses may not be able to deal with this thing, and he will have to use the complete "divine artefact form" Hanari.
Of course, that’s just what I’m thinking now.
Kamiya would never take out the Ame-no-Ohabari and the Amado Bronze Mirror on Hirasaka.
"Sister Kaku said that the Senbiki Stone on Hirasaka can teleport me back. Everything will be fine if I can return."
Kamiyagawa thought so and turned around.
If Sister Jue's design of the teleportation landing point for the Thousand Ink Stone fragments was correct, the other side of the stone wall would be the side of Hirasaka, far away from the core area of Huangquan.
Different from the hard, cold, and towering Qianyin stone wall.
On the other side is a soft, romantic and vibrant pink ocean.
It was an extremely prosperous peach forest, with peach trees standing in various postures, each one tall and graceful. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the peach forest onto the ground, forming mottled light and shadows.
The branches of the peach tree are full of blooming peach blossoms, soft and plump, with thin and thin stamens and delicate and tender petals.
Another sweet and floral-scented breeze blew through the peach grove. The pink clusters on the branches trembled slightly, and then floated to the ground like delicate rouge, piling up on top of the fallen petals.
"Peach Forest?"
Kamiyagawa narrowed his eyes and looked at the blooming peach forest for a while.
Apart from the fact that the scenery there was too earthly and beautiful, there was nothing else particularly unusual.
Kamiya did not immediately step into the peach forest to explore.
Instead, he raised his hand and touched the Qianyin Stone Wall, and then returned to the Qianyin Stone fragments in Fusang Township.
The purpose of his coming in this time was to do a teleportation test first.
After meeting Sister Jue who was waiting at the stone fragment again and confirming that the Senbiki Stone was able to function normally, the exploration of Yomi Hirasaka on the Kamiya River finally officially began.
……
He returned to the Kamiya River on Hirasaka for the second time. He temporarily summoned out only one of the little old man's bodies and began to explore in the direction of the peach forest.
For a long time, when Kamiya conducted investigations in strange and unknown places, he would initially cooperate only with scouts.
The master and servant have become very accustomed to this and have a tacit understanding of it.
Stepping into the peach forest, stepping on the seemingly immortal pink petals, Kamiyagawa began to recall some mythological records related to the "Peach Tree on Hirasaka". He was already too familiar with these things -
It is said that Izanagi once fled to the underworld.
They fled all the way to Hirasaka, but were surrounded and intercepted by the Yellow Spring army led by Izanami.
At this time, Izanagi saw a peach tree growing on the slope, with three peaches on the tree.
He picked a peach and threw it at the pursuing Yellow Springs God.
When the Huangquan army saw the peaches falling at them, they hurriedly fled back to Huangquan.
Izanagi was very happy about this, and said to Momoko: "Just as you helped me just now, when the people of Awahara China encounter difficulties in the future, go and save them!"
Moreover, He also gave the peach god a name, "Yifujiamudumeiming", which can also be commonly known as the "Great Immortal Peach God".
There has always been a culture of "using peaches to exorcise demons" in Japan, which is probably closely related to the story of Izanagi "throwing peaches to the underworld".
"Using peaches to repel the Yellow Springs Army is of course a bit ridiculous. After all, it is a myth recorded in human society. However, there really is a peach forest on Hirasaka..."
Kamiyagawa speculated that perhaps when Izanagi was fleeing on Hirasaka and trying to escape from the pursuers in the underworld, he really encountered a great peach god.
And this peach god is probably a being similar to Kunitsu God.
Perhaps the great gods once provided some substantial help to Izanagi in escaping from trouble, which led to the mythological story just mentioned.
"Satoru reminded me that there is more than one god whose enemy status is unclear and whose strength is not top-notch in the outer area of Hirasaka. So, will the Great Peach God be one of them?"
Kamiyagawa thought so, and under the guidance of the little old man, he continued to walk towards the depths of the peach forest.
And this walk took nearly two hours.
The surrounding environment seemed to have not changed at all. There were still the graceful peach trees, the branches full of peach blossoms, and the ground covered with immortal pink and white fallen petals.
Even though they walked for a long time, Kamiyagawa didn't feel tired at all given his physical strength.
He stopped and looked back again. He could still see the outline of the Thousand Stone Walls, standing clearly in the distance, like a giant dragon hovering between heaven and earth.
"We didn't even get very far, did we?"
Kamiyagawa withdrew his gaze from the outline of the stone wall on the horizon behind him.
In fact, when we first entered the peach forest, the little old man had already reported that this area of forest was very strange.
"Ugh! Aba!"
The scout shook his head firmly, then patted his chest.
Master, please rest assured. I have spent two hours and have completely understood this peach forest!
The little old man would not lie in front of Kamiya.
Seeing how confident he is, there should be no problem.
Kamiyagawa always trusted the people he employed, so he focused his eyes, continued to observe the surrounding environment, and continued to move forward with the scout.
We walked for about another half an hour.
"here……"
Kamiya felt that the surrounding environment was very familiar.
Although the peach trees and peach blossoms in this peach forest are similar, the atmosphere of the environment in this area is subtly different.
He and the little old man must have passed by here in the past two and a half hours.
"Aba Aba!"
At this time, the scout became excited.
He pointed forward with the shakuhachi in his hand, and suddenly heard the sound of trickling water in the depths of the dense peach forest, which he had never heard before.
Then, in the direction pointed by the little old man, the pink fallen petals there were like snow, melting away piece by piece and gathering into a winding stream. The stream led to a different path deep in the peach forest.
"Abba whining!"
The little old man waved towards Kamiyagawa.
The master takes this path!
……
Walk towards the direction of the stream that inexplicably appeared in the peach forest.
Peach blossoms are in full bloom along the bank, and the stream gurgles softly at your feet, carrying countless petals as it joyfully flows forward.
Kamiyagawa was somewhat familiar with this scene.
It seems that when I used [Searching for Hidden Peach Blossoms] to open the secret dungeon in Takama-ga-hara, the scene I saw was similar to this.
During the journey, the scout reported to Shen Gu the intelligence gained from exploring the peach forest.
He said that the location where the stream finally appeared should be the central area of the peach forest.
During the two and a half hours of exploration, Shen Gu and the scouts had passed by the center many times.
The little old man said that every time the two of them passed by the center of the peach forest, the atmosphere in that area would undergo extremely slight changes.
After several tests, he found that by passing through the peach forest from different directions, he could "calibrate" the aura of that area.
Finally, after three correct "environmental atmosphere calibrations", the trickling stream finally appeared.
Kamiya Kawa actually didn't fully understand the part of the old man's report about how the breath was "calibrated".
It feels like a summer insect cannot talk about ice.
I am a summer insect.
But after all, everyone has their own specialties. Kamiya doesn't need to become an all-rounder. He just needs to be able to control ghost stories and command professional talents.
Moreover, the little old man has a strong perception ability and is extremely sensitive to changes in the environment. After being promoted to Class C, his perception ability has been greatly enhanced in this aspect.
The so-called "calibration" is probably just a way of expressing his own feelings about his abilities.
It turns out that raising the scout's rating does have benefits.
Without him today, Kamiya would probably be trapped in the peach blossom forest.
Of course, if Kamiyagawa was alone, with more time, he would probably notice that the key to escaping the peach blossom forest lies in the "central area", but he might still not be able to find the correct way out.
If one can defeat ten skills with one's strength, directly taking out the Heaven's Tail Feather Zhang is of course a way to break the deadlock.
It’s a pity that Uehara cannot be used in Hirasaka.
"If that peach forest is really related to the Great Immortal Peach God, then... the spatial miasma that cannot be escaped from may also be one of the abilities of that god?"
As Kamiya was thinking this, the scenery in front of him finally began to change noticeably as he walked along the way.
At this time, Kamiyagawa looked back again, and the Thousand-Point Stone Wall that stood between heaven and earth was no longer visible.
Perhaps if we successfully pass through the peach forest, we will be out of the range of Hirasaka.
And far ahead where the Taolin Creek flows, there seems to be a vast open plain.
Continuing forward, with his extraordinary vision, Kamiyagawa could see the outline of a city gradually emerging on the distant horizon. The city was tall and solid, with towering walls, like an indestructible barrier.
Because we had been trapped in the peach forest for a long time, the sun was already setting.
The outline of the city was particularly clear in the setting sun that burned the western sky into orange, and the lines of the city wall were clearly visible under the magnificent afterglow of the sun.
Above the plains, the mountains are covered with clouds.
The stream flowing out of the peach forest gathers into a river on the vast plain, sparkling with waves.
The mountains in the distance, the rivers nearby, and the unusually sturdy city on the plain were all shrouded in the dying sunlight, with a golden edge and a dim magnificence.
"This place... seems to be a bit like the Sun Room."
Faced with this situation, Kamiyagawa commented in his heart.
