Chapter 3350 The Secret of Chang'e (Ghost Line Is Very Fun and I Like It)
The passage in front of me seemed endless.
Under the dim light of the oil lamp, the three of them moved forward. The passage in front of them seemed to spiral downward. No matter how they walked, they could only see the ramp and the stone wall in front of them.
"I said... let's go back."
Sayu felt a little uneasy.
"This is the secret place of the shrine. As outsiders, it's not good for us to come here..."
"What are you talking about? It's already here. It's too late for you to go back now, isn't it?"
Hearing Sayu's words, Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders, while Chaogiri obviously hesitated. After all, she is different from these two people and lives here often. If Fangzheng and others were found to have trespassed into the secret passage of the shrine without authorization, they would be kicked out at best. But I want to live here, in case I'm found out... But this idea just turned around in Asagiri Kaname's mind, and his curiosity about the mysterious things in front of him still prevailed.
"Mr. Fangzheng is right, Miss Sayu, we have already arrived here, and now we have no way to turn back!"
"Uh……………"
Is there such an exaggeration? We are not going to fight the devil......
At this moment, the group of people seemed to have finally reached the end of the passage, and then Fang Zheng pushed open the wooden door in front of him, and walked in without hesitation. And Sayu and Asagiri Kaname hurriedly followed and walked into this secret place under the shrine.
"Wow........."
After seeing everything in front of them clearly, the girls suddenly widened their eyes and exclaimed.
What I saw behind the door was a huge mountain cave, and the sunlight shone down from the hollow above, bringing light to the originally dark cave. A green grassland covers the land, and dozens of red torii gates form a passage leading to the shrine deep in the cave.
"so beautiful………"
Seeing the scene in front of him, Sayu immediately became emotional, Kaname Asagiri widened his eyes excitedly, and looked around curiously.
At this moment, suddenly, a voice sounded.
"Sure enough, you are still here."
"Alas?!"
Hearing the sudden sound, Sayu and Asagiri Kaname were startled. They turned their heads and looked, only to find a white-haired girl in a strange costume standing there under the huge torii gate , staring at them.
That was none other than Kushina Tianmeno.
"Little, Xiao Mian?"
Seeing the purple-haired girl, Zhao Wuji felt a little guilty and took a few steps back. And Sayu looked at her curiously, and asked in a low voice.
"You know each other?"
"Well, I'm in the same class as her..."
Speaking of this, Asagiri felt a little embarrassed, of course she knew the identity of Kushina Mien, and now she sneaked here, and was discovered by her classmates... Well, even though Asagiri was full of curiosity about mysterious affairs Curiosity, and somewhat embarrassing.
Here Asagiri was whispering to Sayu, while Fang Zheng was looking at Kushinada in front of him with a calm expression.
"What are you doing here?"
"Of course I ask you to leave."
Kushina Tianmian tightly held the sickle in her hand, although her complexion was still pale, she did not waver.
"You have invaded the domain of the Great God, this is not the place you should come."
"You should know that I want to lift the curse, right? As long as the curse is lifted, the god-man can be like ordinary people. Is there any problem?"
"...Not everyone is willing to do this."
Facing Fangzheng's question, Kushina Tianmian hesitated for a moment, then replied in a low voice.
"Do you know what we call humans?"
"Oh?"
"We call ordinary people... fallen gods..."
"Oh……………"
Hearing Kushina Tianmene's answer, Fangzheng was not surprised. Indeed, the power possessed by a Kamito, whether it is a curse or something, far exceeds that of a human being. So it's only natural that they would want to separate themselves from humans.
"So you should understand that not everyone is willing to lose this power. Indeed, the fate of being cursed is a sad part of our family, but as long as there is Hassaku, we can endure it. Therefore, many people are unwilling. Lose that power."
"But from my perspective, it's my job."
Fangzheng spread his hands.
"I'm here to investigate and deal with the problem, so I hope to solve this problem in a relatively satisfactory way."
"This is a problem of our Chang'e City, and outsiders should not interfere."
"This is not possible, how can a player not complete the task after accepting it?"
"Hey?"
Faced with Fang Zheng's answer, Kushina Tianmian was obviously a little dazed, but Fang Zheng just waved his hand.
"All in all, there is no way to explain and solve this matter in the way that this is your problem. Besides, we still don't know what the situation is, don't we? Is this a blessing or a curse? Don't know the truth...or, do you know?"
“……………………”
Hearing this, Kushina Mitsuki gritted his teeth and lowered his head.
"This is a sealed place, no one is allowed to step in..."
"So you haven't been in there, have you?"
"........."
"You don't know the truth yourself, do you plan to hang around like this for the rest of your life?"
"........."
I don't know whether it was Fang Zheng's words that moved Kushina Tianmian, or she couldn't bear Fang Zheng's aura. In the end, the girl put down the scythe, silently stepped aside and stopped talking.
And Fangzheng continued to walk forward.
The torii is blocked by a huge rope, which looks like a way for no one to enter. There is also a charm on it. To be honest, seeing the rope Fangzheng is a bit uncomfortable, because it reminds him of the five-horse ritual used to seal the gate of the underworld in the spiritual world... It seems that this is what it used thing.
But there shouldn't be people who have been quartered by five horses hanging on the stone to seal the gate of the underworld.
Passing through the torii passage blocked by the rope, the group finally came to the front of the shrine. This time Kushina Tianmeno followed them from a distance, but kept silent. Asagiri wanted to say hello to Kushina Miki, but he was a little embarrassed——after all, he was trespassing illegally.
But soon, Asagiri's attention was focused on other things.
"really weird."
"What's wrong?"
"It's obviously the Chang'e wolf that is worshiped here, so why are the sculptures next to it rabbits?"
Asagiri pointed to the stone sculptures on both sides of the torii gate, and asked suspiciously. Indeed, generally speaking, Japanese shrines will put sculptures for whatever they worship. For example, Inari Shrine will put a bunch of fox sculptures. Logically speaking, since Chang’e wolf is worshiped here, there will be sculptures of foxes in the shrine. It is also normal to have sculptures of wolves.
In fact, when Fangzheng and the others were outside, they saw wooden carved wolf heads placed on the gates of many people, and Hassaku was placed beside them. Kaname Asagiri didn't know what was going on, but thought it was a local custom of asking for the protection and blessing of the wolf god.
But in this shrine, there are no wolf sculptures at all. On the contrary, rabbits are placed everywhere.
"So that's kind of fun."
At this time, Fangzheng also had a meaningful smile on his face. He first paid attention to Chang'e City because of its name. However, although there was Chang'e in the name, there was nothing related to Chang'e here. It also made Fang Zheng quite puzzled, but now it seems... This place does hide some kind of secret that even the locals have probably forgotten.
The gate of the shrine in front of me was locked tightly, and there was still a seal on it, but because it was too old, the writing on the seal could no longer be seen clearly. Fangzheng stretched out his hand, and pushed open the gate of the shrine. With harsh noises, the heavy gate slowly opened, and dust rushed in, making Sayu and Asagiri Kaname also coughing and retreating hastily.
After a while, after the dust dispersed, everyone entered the shrine.
In the huge shrine, most of the things have been corroded, and only a statue of a rabbit can be barely seen on the altar, and some books and scrolls are placed beside it. Kaname Asagiri took a book out of curiosity, and opened it.
"Woo...... what is written on it, I can't understand it at all."
Looking at a lot of ghostly symbols in the book, Zhao Wu was almost stunned. Although she likes occult science very much, the words on it are beyond the scope of her knowledge.
"let me see."
Fangzheng took the book, opened it and flipped through it, then raised his eyebrows.
"Oh, this is really interesting...the record on it is the history of Chang'e Village."
"Really? What did it say?"
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Asagiri immediately became excited, and Sayu came over curiously.
"This is interesting......"
Flipping through the records in his hand, Fangzheng narrowed his eyes, showing a thoughtful expression.
According to records, this family immigrated to Japan a long time ago. They worshiped the Jade Rabbit, and it was rumored that they belonged to the family with the blood of the Jade Rabbit. As for whether it is the jade rabbit in the myths or legends, I will not mention it for the time being, but according to the historical documents above, the reason why this family left their hometown and came to Dongpu at that time was to escape the disaster of war at that time.
According to the records above, this family was quite powerful and agile, and was regarded as warriors by various countries at that time. However, they like peace and don't like fighting, so in order to stay away from war and avoid misfortune, these people traveled across the ocean to Japan, and then settled down in this isolated mountain forest.
However, the good times didn't last long, and soon they discovered that there was an evil and terrifying wolf god, which commanded a pack of wolves, and was almost invincible across the mountains, forests and wilderness.
Initially, they expected to be able to communicate with the wolf god, but the other party obviously only regarded them as food, and even asked that as long as this family was willing to sacrifice young women as sacrifices to them every year, they would be safe.
Hmm... Those monsters in Japan like to do this kind of crooked way the most, but it's a pity that this family is from the mainland, so naturally they don't like the wolf god. So the talks between the two sides collapsed, and then the wolf god led a pack of wolves to attack Chang'e Village. For a while, both sides suffered heavy casualties.
At the last moment, the ancestors of Chang'e Village lured the wolf god here, and with the help of the power of the jade rabbit they believed in, they used the power of the moon to seal him in this cave forever.
The Wolf God couldn't bear the humiliation. When it was sealed, it also cursed the clan that believed in the Jade Rabbit, cursing that the Jade Rabbit clan would be eroded by the wolf spirit forever and have no peace.
The result of the curse is that in the future, people with the blood of the Jade Rabbit family will change from a peaceful nature to a wild beast, have the desire to attack others, and thus completely degenerate and become victims of wolf spirits.
"I see."
After reading these records, Fangzheng finally realized it. He felt strange at first. After all, even if it was some kind of curse, it would be too gentle in the form of the curse. After all, even if the curse broke out, the people in Chang'e Village would not kill or eat people, but simply violated each other. It's not like something a werewolf would do at all, and vampires don't have such a low price.
But if it's a rabbit... well, it seems understandable?
After all, the rabbit itself is a very impure creature. If this family really has the blood of the jade rabbit, then it will naturally have similar characteristics. If you think about it carefully, fast speed and great strength are also typical characteristics of rabbits. Moreover, Fangzheng also saw that the eyes of Kushina Tianmian and others glowed red when they were in action... The eyes of wolves don't glow red.
In this way, it is understandable that this place is called Chang’e Village. Obviously, the residents here should have believed in Jade Rabbit and Chang’e. Later, in the battle with the wolf god, both sides suffered losses. Before the wolf god was sealed, he cursed the Jade Rabbit The whole family was corrupted by wolf spirits, so after this, there will be such existences as gods and men in Chang'e Village...
"how come……………"
After listening to Fangzheng's explanation, Sayu and Asagiri Kaname were dumbfounded, while Kushina Tianmeng opened his mouth wide and was speechless.
If the records here are true, then it means that the wolf god worshiped by himself and others is actually the chief culprit who caused the people in Chang'e Village to suffer?
"But, but this wolf god cursed them? Why do people in Chang'e worship the wolf god instead?"
Kaname Asagiri also had an incredulous expression on his face, completely incomprehensible.
"Because it's been too long, the original history has been distorted."
Fangzheng put together the ancient book in his hand and put it aside.
"However, it is actually very simple to identify whether this ancient book is telling the truth."
"……………Simple?"
"That's right."
As he spoke, Fangzheng pointed to the sealed gate in front of the shrine.
"Didn't the above say that they used the power of the moon to seal the wolf god behind here? Then, as long as we open the seal and see if there is a wolf god inside, won't everything be clear?"
“………………Ah ah ah ah!!!”
