I loaded the ghost talk game

Chapter 738: Bright Moon

"Geibu Tanuki, what did you say?"

Kamiyagawa's questioning voice without obvious emotional fluctuations once again sounded in the hall.

Yabaihachi, who was squeezed on the main seat, no longer had any anger in his eyes at this time, only confusion, horror, and helplessness.

Accompanied by the breath of Mary and Karasu Tengu's appearance, he rushed around the main hall of the Tanuki Palace. The indescribable fear grew wildly in the old tanuki's heart, sweeping over his whole body, as if it could cause his soul to tremble.

"I..." Yabaihachi finally spoke, and his voice squeezed out of his throat, fragile and powerless, completely without the domineering state just now, even making Yabaihachi himself feel unfamiliar, "I said... please take a seat, guest."

The slightly trembling voice had just fallen.

The gorgeous red and black dress swaying in the hall and the Tengu with wings like dark clouds pressing down disappeared at the same time.

The rolling red mist also retreated and shrank like a tide.

In the Imperial Palace, only the horrible marks left by the axe, chisel and knife on the floor tiles, and the wailing and screaming elite raccoon foxes were left.

Yaoba raccoon suddenly felt his body relax, and his fat body leaned back and collapsed.

What were those two figures just now?

Arakan gods?

No, not really.

That indescribable sense of oppression, that kind of deterrence that makes people tremble physically and mentally is definitely not possessed by arakan gods.

Yaoba raccoon finally thought of Kamiyagawa's self-introduction to protect his family.

He said he was from Takamagahara.

The old raccoon cat certainly knew that Takamagahara was the residence of the high and mighty gods.

But when it heard this name just now, it didn't believe it too much.

Anyway, it was Kamiyagawa who reported it himself, and he could say whatever he wanted.

But now, it couldn't help but believe it.

So, those two figures just now... were gods?

Gods in the true sense?

Compared with the frightened raccoon foxes, the outsiders in the Imperial Palace seemed extremely calm.

"Well, thank you."

Hearing that the owner of the Imperial Palace, the raccoon cat, invited him to take a seat, the approachable Kamiya Chuan readily accepted.

It's hard to refuse a kind invitation.

There are other seats in the hall, which were originally occupied by other leaders of the raccoon and fox.

But now, none of those leaders dared to sit on the seats, and they all stood up and retreated in panic.

Kamiya didn't choose, and stepped forward.

He found a seat at random and sat down with a big horse and golden sword.

After sitting down, he also glanced at the raccoon fox swordsmen who fell to the ground.

Not bad.

The little Tengu was still very measured in his attack, and the strength was just right.

It hurt, but it didn't hurt.

This is already very restrained.

If the Ainu hero god on his side had taken it a little more seriously, the "Tengu Gravel" just now would have rolled out, and all the elites on both sides of the raccoon and fox would have turned into ashes and turned into shining soul crystals.

After Kamiya sat down, Yaoba Tanuki and Kitsune Shiro, who were still sitting, hesitated a little and finally stood up at the same time.

Although Kamiya sat down at random, he was now the only one sitting in the entire Imperial Palace.

"I think we can talk now."

"Please, go ahead." Yaoba Tanuki shook his huge head and responded in a muffled voice.

"Regarding Nirudo, my people defeated a wild god in your territory without any notice, which is indeed a bit rude."

This time, it was Kitsune Shiro who answered. The fox gentleman tightened the folding fan in his hand a little: "Lord God, Nirudo is not a member of the fox tribe or the raccoon tribe. In fact, both the fox and the raccoon are deeply troubled by it. It is not a bad thing that your men defeated the evil wild god."

"Is that so."

Kamiya nodded and looked at Yaoba Tanuki again.

The old raccoon cat did not say anything.

It seems that everyone has reached a consensus.

Kamiya Kawa was very satisfied with the lack of any tension in the Tanuki Palace.

Whether it was the Tanuki or the Fox, they were all very polite.

Nirudo did not belong to either the Tanuki or Fox tribes, and often forced both tribes to worship it. When it still existed, its main function was to maintain a delicate balance between the Tanuki and Fox tribes in the Iyo region.

The little old man had already learned about this.

Kamiya naturally knew it too.

This matter could be big or small.

Since it was a formal visit, it must be said, but judging from the current situation, it was naturally a trivial matter.

Kamiya Kawa: "Since Nirudo's matter did not affect the relationship between Takamagahara and Iyo. Then, let's talk about Inosuke."

Speaking of Inosuke, Yaoba Tanuki gritted his teeth in anger, but he really didn't dare to get angry.

The old tanuki, who no longer had the sharpness of the past, really didn't want to face the pressure brought by the two gods just now.

At the end, he just said in a muffled voice: "Your Inamori warriors have sealed the entire raccoon tribe."

"Well, I know you have a feud." Kamiya sat casually, tapping the table with his fingers, "But now there are some questions I want to clarify, Gebu Raccoon, why did you attack Songshan Castle in the first place?"

"The raccoon tribe never provoked a dispute! It was the lord of Songshan Castle who attacked us first, and the raccoon tribe just resisted!"

Faced with the inquiry, the old raccoon swore solemnly.

Kamiya, who can see through emotions, can sense that when saying this, the eight hundred and eight raccoons were only indignant.

Combined with the content of the conversation, it doesn't seem like he is telling a lie.

"You said that the dispute was provoked by the former Lord of Matsuyama Castle. Then why did he attack the raccoon tribe?" Kamiya continued to ask.

"To occupy the 'Great Moon' shared by the raccoon tribe and the fox tribe, Lord God." This time it was Kitsune Shishiro who answered.

When he heard this, Yaoba Tanuki was unhappy and immediately retorted: "What do you mean by shared? Stop talking nonsense, you little fox. The Great Moon belongs to the raccoon tribe. You foxes believe in the god Inari. Why do you want to snatch the ownership of the Great Moon from the raccoon tribe?"

"Father-in-law." Kitsune Shishiro shook his folding fan. "No matter what you say, it is a fact that the fox tribe and the raccoon tribe have the custom of worshiping the moon. The 'Great Moon' was originally shared by both parties. It was you who drove the fox tribe out of the Shikoku region and occupied it exclusively. Moreover, when Matsuyama Castle coveted the Great Moon, the fox tribe put aside their hatred and assisted you."

"Hmph!"

At this point, Yaoba Tanuki seemed to be a little guilty. He snorted with his nose and said nothing more.

Through the conversation between the leaders of the raccoon and fox, Kamiya Kawa roughly knew the grievances between the two tribes-

It seems that long before the separation of the ordinary world and the present world, the raccoons and foxes in the Shikoku region were one.

Even in today's present world, people always like to talk about raccoon monsters and fox monsters together. After all, they are too similar, whether in terms of abilities or monster habits.

Although the raccoons and foxes in Shikoku are monsters, there are monsters with gods.

When they lived together, there were two worship systems in the tribe: the belief in abundance and the belief in the moon palace.

The corresponding gods are Inari God and Tsukuyomi.

This point can actually be seen in the rural ghost stories in the human world.

Raccoon belly drum, fox worship the moon.

It is said that on the night of the full moon, the raccoon will knock on the belly at the moon, making a sound like a drum.

And the fox will also bow to the full moon.

In folk legends, there are also stories about someone seeing raccoons and foxes dancing to the moon at night.

As Kitsune Juro said, raccoons and foxes have the habit of worshipping the moon, which stems from their worship of Tsukuyomi and the Moon Palace a long time ago.

As for the worship of abundance.

It is almost a consensus in the human world that foxes are messengers of the Inari God.

In the shrines of the Inari God, fox statues can be seen almost everywhere. In fact, the Inari God himself is also known as the "Three Fox Gods".

But in fact, there is more than one kind of animal messenger of the Inari God.

The raccoon was originally one too.

In a few Inari God shrines, raccoon cat statues are still enshrined, such as the Hachio Inari Shrine in Higashiyama, Kyoto.

In short, the prototype of foxes and raccoons, "raccoon dogs", are associated with good harvests because they both prey on rats, birds, and insects that destroy crops.

Even earlier, some other animals that are beneficial to crops were also messengers of the Inari God.

For example, wolves that can drive away deer.

Therefore, if Songlang, the top shikigami under the eldest disciple Kanoya, wants to develop in a "retro" way in the future and try to obtain the authority related to "harvest", it is also feasible.

Let's talk about the raccoon and fox tribes in Shikoku.

As time goes by, the main messengers of the Inari Shrine built by humans gradually become foxes.

The base of human belief is large, and this change has benefited foxes in "fertility worship".

Faced with such unfair treatment, the raccoons naturally don't do it.

Because the fox gradually evolved into the main messenger of the Inari God, the raccoon wanted to occupy the "Moon Palace Worship".

In Shikoku, the raccoon and fox tribes do not hold any physical objects related to the "fertility worship", but they do have "Moon Palace Worship".

That is the so-called treasure "Da Mingyue".

It is said that Da Mingyue can communicate with the Moon Palace. Worshiping the moon in front of Da Mingyue will be cleansed and purified by the moonlight, which is of great benefit to both foxes and raccoons.

Thus, the raccoons and foxes, who could originally live in harmony, began a long struggle.

…

"You are talking about the Great Moon, so where is the Great Moon now?"

Because he has not seen the real thing, Shen Gu is not sure what kind of treasure the Great Moon is.

I just feel that it may be related to the authority of the "moon"?

That is indeed quite good.

"After losing to Songshan Castle, the Great Moon was lost." Eight Hundred Eight raccoons replied unhappily.

Fox Shiliulang did not say anything, as if he tacitly agreed with the old raccoon's statement.

Shen Gu Chuan glanced at the fox with interest.

He thought of the abandoned ancient city secretly occupied by foxes that the little old man had reported.

Haha, maybe there will be clues about the Great Moon there.

But in the final analysis, the ownership of this treasure that may be related to the authority of the moon is a historical issue between the raccoon and fox tribes.

It is really difficult for others to intervene.

"Okay. I understand. The former Lord of Songshan City coveted the Great Bright Moon, so he launched an attack on the raccoon tribe. The fox tribe, in order to protect the Great Bright Moon, temporarily put aside their grudges and joined forces with the raccoon tribe. The cooperation of the two tribes led to the defeat of Songshan City, so the Lord of the City had to seek help from outside."

"Later, the Lord of Songshan City deceived Inosuke, saying that the raccoon tribe wanted to occupy Songshan City. Inosuke believed this statement, which led to the subsequent events. That's about it, right?"

Kamiya briefly summarized the past events.

If this is the truth of the matter, it is no wonder that the information available in Ehime Prefecture records that the eight hundred and eighty raccoon dogs who have been the guardian saints of Shikoku for hundreds of years and have been living in peace with humans "suddenly attacked Matsuyama Castle without warning." ".

After all, the human-monster battle in Songshan ended with the victory of the Lord of Songshan City.

Tanuki and Kitsune didn't say anything more about Kamiyagawa's summary. Kamiya continued: "But I still have a question. That is, Inao was attacked and died shortly after leaving Matsuyama, which was once a place. As a result, he became The current situation. Were you the ones who attacked Dao Sheng?"

"The raccoon tribe has been completely sealed by him. How can they attack him again?"

"As far as I know, the Kitsune clan has never attacked the Inaba samurai subsequently."

Both Yabairi and Kitsururo denied this.

Observe their emotional state and you will see that this statement is true.

If the suspicions of raccoon and fox are eliminated, then there is only one person who attacked Inao and caused his death——

The former Lord of Songshan City.

Gee, that’s so insidious.

Not only did he use Daosheng as a spearman, but he probably also took advantage of the huge power consumption of the Demon King's hammer to directly kill the donkey.

"Lord God, now that you have understood the true situation of that matter. Therefore, your subordinates are at fault for what happened in Songshan City." Facing Daosheng, the Eight Hundred and Eight Oriole still had a lot of resentment.

But after saying this, the old civet cat felt a little regretful.

This is not a fair court now.

The difference in strength between the two sides had already been experienced by the Eight Hundred and Eight Oriole just now.

Moreover, both Tanuki and Kitsune knew that the Tsukuyomi no Ming and Inari gods worshiped by their tribes were both gods of Takamagahara.

There are real gods under Kamiyagawa, and there is more than one.

The fact that he came from Gao Tianyuan is probably not groundless.

Even in terms of belief, both the fox and the fox should respect him.

If the gods were really angry, just one thought would be enough to turn Iyo into a barren land.

But then, Kamiyagawa's attitude surprised the old tanuki. He was not angry, but just nodded naturally: "Although Inao was also a victim in that incident, you are right, he did something wrong."

At this time, Inao Heitaro, who was standing behind Kamiya, was already sitting on pins and needles.

Judging from the attitude of the Master talking to Tanuki and Kitsune, the Master should also agree with the truth of the past events.

Since the Master approves it, it is a fact.

Therefore, Daosheng also felt that he was wrong, very wrong.

Moreover, because of his previous mistakes of being enthusiastic and trusting others, it may directly lead to the difficulty in the progress of the relationship between the Master and Iyo's raccoons and foxes.

Then the important purpose of this trip will be difficult to achieve.

Daosheng didn't know how to make up for this.

Kneel down in the main hall, pull out the ribs, commit seppuku, and beg the Master to forgive him?

But as long as the Live Fish Hotel exists, Ina Sheng will be immortal.

There seems to be little point in doing so.

Just when the honest Heitaro Inao was ashamed and at a loss, Kamiyagawa, who was sitting in front of him, spoke again, his tone still calm and normal:

"Ina Sheng is a member of Takamagahara, and the mistakes he made will naturally be borne by me. Therefore, Takamagahara will compensate you raccoon and fox clans."

"compensate?"

The eight hundred and eight raccoon dogs were shocked.

It would be nice if this god didn't bulldoze Iyo. What kind of compensation does he want to give?

"Yes, compensation. As long as you are willing, Takamagahara will assist the development of the raccoon and fox tribes in Iyo. Our people will provide you with assistance and technology to assist you in building Iyo. The Takamagahara territory can exchange supplies with you and conduct trade. Until this becomes a home suitable for you to live and work in peace and contentment. In addition, if you need it, I can also provide you with a safe shelter."

Kamiyagawamen explained this without changing his expression.

Xing Xiong, who was also standing behind him, felt his eyes twitch slightly.

You really know how to speak, Kamiyagawa.

A good one to live and work in peace and contentment.

The key point is "enjoyment", right?

But to be fair, there is nothing wrong with this statement.

Sure enough, Xingxiong felt that there was still a lot to learn from Kamiya and others.

Study hard and watch well.

Daosheng was a little unable to react at this time.

Wait a moment.

Give technology, help with construction, and conduct trade.

It sounds familiar. It seems to be the "capital technology output" that the Mermaid Princess has mentioned many times before?
