On Re-employment of Shikigami

When I saw Huang again the next day, it was obvious that the gloomy aura on his body had decreased a lot. Although he was still the most indifferent to Mechiyo, he occasionally responded to Momoka's embarrassing chats.

Everything seems to be going in a good direction, but sometimes disasters always come unexpectedly, no, or it should be said that the people in this land are already used to it, only Su Yan himself is not used to it.

A large-scale earthquake occurred near Kyoto at night at the end of July. Even if there was Fushen Yusuke with Mulian, several stone lanterns beside the torii gate in front of the shrine were broken. A certain degree of landslides occurred in Atago Mountain and Oe Mountain. The newly excavated tributary was cut off by the rolling rocks on both sides. Many monsters living on both sides of the river bank were buried under the sudden mud, sand and rocks. What a fatal injury.

The surrounding houses have been damaged to varying degrees. On the contrary, the newly built houses on the small island are safe and sound. Only because the river has been cut off, the water on the small island has risen a little, and the originally small The island got smaller.

A group of little monsters lay on top of Su Yan's skull cloud and watched the mountains and rocks piled up below remain silent, obviously frightened.

It took half a month to clear out the houses, and the wounded have almost recovered, but most of the monsters don’t dare to live at the foot of the mountain now. During this time, the peach blossoms and cherry blossoms are all haggard. Little, Ichimolian left the shrine with Huang, saying that the earthquake was strange and he wanted to go out to find out the reason, so the shrine was handed over to Su Yan to watch, and he also greeted the Guhuo Bird, the big tengu, and the two-faced Buddha next to him Yes, they will come to help if something happens.

Naturally, Su Yan had no problem, and she didn't have time to ponder why Yimulian felt that the earthquake was strange. You must know that the frequency of earthquakes in Japan is the same as people need to eat three meals a day, which is even more frequent than sunrise and sunset.

It is also because there is a shrine here, so ordinary small earthquakes will not be felt, and larger earthquakes will not be felt deeply... Wait, is it because the shrine was still damaged under the protection of Fengshen this time, so You will feel strange at a glance?

"..." Seeing Su Yan walking away, Chiyo thought it was Su Yan who was shocked. After all, there were a lot of people rushing to the shrine nearby, and there were many injuries. Not only did the priests and maidens of the shrine outside panic, but Let them in the enchantment get busy together.

The aftershocks are still happening one after another, not to mention people, most of the nearby monsters also run here to take refuge, but unlike monsters, monsters all bring their own rations, but most humans have no food after suffering the disaster.

Even if Yimulian has been sending oracles to the gods and maidens of the shrine to keep food on hand, they can donate to poor believers when there is nothing to do, and they can use it for emergency when there is something to do.

But the shrine is only so big, and the current environment is that the vast majority of people can’t get enough to eat. Even if they want to store food, there are not so many sources of food, so with the influx of believers, the food storage of the shrine begins to become tense.

The only good thing is that it's summer now, so even if you live in the open air, you don't have to worry about typhoid fever.

In addition, peach blossoms and cherry blossoms led the goblins in human form to shuttle among the believers outside the shrine for treatment and prevention, effectively preventing the emergence of the disease.Gu Huo Niao borrowed a team of crow tengu from the big tengu, and together they went to rescue children in severely affected places.

Su Yan was also requisitioned. She drove the skull cloud at a high speed and ran around with a group of little monsters with tools, just to dig out usable materials from the ruins. Of course, they are all places where humans have difficulty digging. , running around day and night, but brought back a lot of things, not only food, but also a lot of use, and also miraculously dug a silver mine.

A month later, the aftershocks finally came to an end. Not only did the earthquake cause heavy losses near the capital, but Su Yan’s shrine was wiped out. Fortunately, there was a silver mine, and most of the monsters could extract the refined spells, so It is not very difficult to extract silver from the ore, but it is painful to have silver and nowhere to buy things.

There are many silver mines in Japan, so silver is not very valuable in Japan. Su Yan couldn't help looking at the other side of the sea. If they cross the sea to China, will they be able to get enough supplies?

Of course, if they go to China, they must not do business with humans, because the rules of the human world are always very strict, whether it is now or in the future, and it is very inconvenient for non-humans.

"Let me go." Said the koi patriarch, who was mostly healed from his injuries, his voice was a little hoarse, with a mask of a Japanese doll on his face, leaning against the newly dug pond in the yard at the moment, his silver red The big fish tail is looming under the water surface.

"Your injuries haven't fully healed yet, so you can't be soaked in water for a long time." Taohua raised an objection.

"I can ask Xuetongzi to take me there in the ice hall." The koi patriarch's tone was not urgent, but Su Yan always felt that he wanted to go back, so he nodded: "Yes, but we need to leave as soon as possible."

"I'll take you to Yukidouji's place." Ootengu is also worried. In fact, he can also cross the sea, but as the leader of Atago Mountain, he must not leave. They are more suitable, but in the absence of Lord Fengshen, it is impossible for the main god of the shrine to stay, and Peach Blossom is a demon and cannot provide the divine protection that the shrine needs.

Daitengu left with the ancestor of the koi carp, and two days later, Daitengu returned to the shrine with the medicinal materials presented by Yukidou. Peach Blossom and Sakura were really happy, but this excitement was interrupted by a sudden ominous feeling.

Su Yan also felt it. It was a very miraculous perception. He couldn't say why he knew it, but he knew for certain that something bad was going to happen. Days passed and nothing happened, and many little monsters were slacking off, only Su Yanda Tiangou and the others felt that things were getting more and more urgent.

Finally, when the autumn wind blew past the shrine and the leaves of the trees on the mountain turned golden, an eight-headed snake suddenly appeared from the bottom of the sea near Kyoto. The sea was stirred up and submerged. Human beings sent warriors and onmyojis to suppress it, but with little effect. The shrine on Su Yan's side also quickly received the news.

The shrine here is a very effective shrine, and the priests and maidens inside have also received requests from Kyoto.

It's Yamata no Orochi!

Su Yan has been in this world for almost 300 years. Excluding the time when she was punished in Gaotianyuan, she has lived in a very peaceful place for the past few years. Even the last big earthquake will not threaten Su Yan's survival. , but Yamata no Orochi is different, it seems to be regarded as an ultimate big boss in Japanese myths and stories, even in modern Japan, it is rare to bypass Yamata no Orochi if it involves myths and legends.

In the story, it keeps resurrecting and dying just to make meritorious deeds for the protagonists, but the world that Su Yan exists now is the world where Japanese mythology exists. Yamata no Orochi really exists in this world, not something fabricated by later generations.

The Heiankyo era where Abe Seimei existed will not come until several hundred years ago, so who will destroy the current orochi, or seal it?

And where did this thing come from, so suddenly!

At this time, Yimulian also came back with Huang, and at the same time brought news of the appearance of Yamata no Orochi.

It turned out that the previous earthquake was caused by Yamata no Orochi breaking free from the stone prison that imprisoned him.

Yamata no Orochi was transformed by the resentment of the gods who were slaughtered and abandoned in ancient times. It had wisdom thousands of years ago and strengthened itself by absorbing the negative emotions of all living beings in this world. I got the anti-evil stone and carved it into the form of eight heads and eight tails to seal the Yamata no Orochi. Of course, it was not called Yamata no Orochi at the beginning, nor did it have a specific shape and name, because it was trapped in the stone statue by Amaterasu, and it happened to be The stone statue looks like a snake with eight heads and eight tails, so it is called Yamata no Orochi.

The original intention of Amaterasu is to hope that it has no feet to support and can only crawl, the eight heads have different thoughts and cannot be single-minded, and the eight-tailed thick * heavy burden cannot move flexibly.

Unexpectedly, this stone statue is now used by Yamata no Orochi to become a real body, and because it is huge, it can radiate destructive power far away without any action.

"The stone statue can't trap the big snake, so Gao Tianyuan didn't react at all?" Su Yan couldn't believe it. When Monkey King in Journey to the West loosened the Five Elements Mountain, Tiantian immediately felt it, and immediately added a seal. The big thing is sealed there, and Gao Tianyuan didn't notice anything when there was a change. Is this a joke?

"I noticed it, but it was too late." Yimulian also had a headache, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, "It was the goddess of Huangquan who broke the seal and released Yamata no Orochi, because it was so sudden that Gao Tianyuan didn't react at all."

"Ah?" Su Yan's blue eyes widened, and he licked his ears indecently, "I didn't hear what you just said clearly, please say it again."

"You heard me right." A wry smile appeared on the corner of Yimulian's mouth, any family would go crazy if they had such an elder who focused on destroying the world.

In fact, Amaterasu of Gaotianyuan is going crazy!

Ask me what to do if the mother at home concentrates on doing things?Urgent, wait online!

The author has something to say: The stories about Yamata no Orochi are basically Hu Chi's here, so don't take it seriously.
