Chapter 578 The Umbilical Cord of a Ghost and the Fetal Blood of a God

The matter of the Jinshan God has been discussed for a while to no avail, so we can only put it aside for the time being, waiting for follow-up investigation.

Later, Kamiya submitted the box set again: "Kaku, what you said last time was to combine this box set with the second core material of the Prajna Shrine. Has there been any result?"

"Yes." The craftsman sister nodded, "Because the curse once sealed in this set of curse boxes is too strong. The other core material I want is preferably a divinity with a certain degree of compassion to neutralize the murderous killing force of the curse. Meaning. And then it has to fit in with Miss Prajna’s other characteristics besides the curse..."

"That's what you said last time, and then you said that there are very few materials that meet such conditions, and I can't think of any suitable ones at the moment."

Kamiya had brought this set to Gao Tianyuan before to pick up the box and show it to Sue. The answer she gave at that time was almost the same as now.

"I just didn't think of it at the time." Jue waved his hand, "Before you came, I discussed this matter with the medicine seller, and he gave an idea."

It sounds like the craftsmen are still very concerned about Kamiya.

I bet they had discussed the situation of Prajna Shrine before.

The combination of Sister Jue's knowledge as a master craftsman and the medicine seller's rich experience can indeed solve many problems.

Medicine Seller: "There is a god who may have materials that meet your expectations."

"God?"

"Yeah, the Mother Goddess of Devils."

The Goddess of Guizi is also called the Mother of Joy or the Mother of Love.

Originally a Buddhist deity, the Sanskrit transliteration is Kaori Emperor Mother. With the spread of Buddhism, it was first introduced to China and then to Japan, and then after a long period of localization of the belief, it was an imported god.

According to legend, the Devil Mother Goddess was originally a Yaksha evil spirit, and she was particularly fertile, giving birth to five hundred devils. It walks at night every night, capturing human children to feed its own devils.

After Shakya knew about this, he hid one of her children while she was away.

After Yasha returned, she couldn't find her child, so she finally had to ask for help from Sakyamuni. Shakya advised her to put herself in the perspective of a mother and compare her feelings——

You have five hundred children, and you are so worried about losing one of them. And what will be the state of mind of those parents whose children you have kidnapped?

After some persuasion to put himself in someone else's shoes, the evil ghost Yaksha received enlightenment and achieved great enlightenment. He converted to Buddhism and transformed into a devil and a mother-in-law, becoming one of the twenty heavenly beings protecting the Dharma in Buddhism.

In Chinese folklore, the authority and function of the devil's mother is similar to that of the queen who gives birth to her children. In Japan, it is regarded as the protector of children.

"The Ghost Mother possesses maternal divinity, and as a Ghost Mother, she is consistent with Miss Prajna's aspect of 'controlling ghosts'. She should have the materials you need." The medicine seller further stated. illustrate.

"That's right!" Sister Jue clapped her hands, "Kamigu, you want to be the king of ghosts and gods, and the Prajna under you is the mother of ghosts, so she will be the queen of ghosts. How about it? Isn't it a great match?"

Kamiyagawa:……

Thank you so much for not forgetting to help me in this situation.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems to make sense.

Moreover, Prajna also likes children and has a certain connection with Buddhism.

The material that the Ghost Mother God can provide seems to be very suitable for her.

Kamiyagawa: "It sounds very good, so the question is, where should I find this god?"

Medicine Seller: "In the eternal world, it is unknown whether this god still exists. I suggest you try your luck in this world first."

"In reality?"

"In the Buddhist temple or shrine of the Ghost Mother, there may be a place where he is worshiped, and there will be remnants of his power."

"It's just raw materials, it's not about getting the bones of gods." Satoru took over, "As long as I get the gift of his power, I'm still confident to build a beautiful shrine for our ghost queen."

"Understood."

Kamiya nodded.

The purpose of looking for the Ghost Mother God is different from that of looking for the Jinshan God.

The Jinshan God himself did not die, but something seemed to have gone wrong and he lost control, so he began to persecute his believers and craftsmen. To solve this problem, we must find the true form of Jinshan God.

But on the side of the Demon Goddess, Kamiyagawa and the others only need the power of this pillar of god. Once you get the carrier that carries His power, you can take it back and build a shrine.

As the two craftsmen said, try your luck at the corresponding shrine or temple first.

"Oh, by the way, and -" Jue gently touched the foot seller next to him with his elbow.

The latter reacted and quickly rummaged through the flesh and grease bottles on the side of the hall to find a purple strip of air-dried meat.

That's an umbilical cord.

This thing also has a certain origin. It is a composite of "ghost's umbilical cord" and "god's fetal blood".

The umbilical cord comes from the childbirth girl, the mother of little Crayon Ayaori.

The fetal blood comes from leeches.

Kamiyagawa had previously placed these two materials on Takamagahara, and later asked Fu Bao to bless these two materials that had a chance of being processed and synthesized.

However, I don’t feel particularly good at handling flesh and blood materials.

In the end, it was only through cooperation with the foot seller that the two materials were combined.

The successful synthesis of this thing also shows that the skills of the foot seller are really not limited to "putting together hands and feet".

"Kishikomu is the mother of ghosts, and she has the power of flesh and blood. This sacred blood umbilical cord may help you find her power. It is also the most suitable power carrier for Kishikomu that we have at present. You should carry it with you for safety." The medicine seller said so.

The craftsmen considered things very carefully.

After leaving the box and taking the sacred blood umbilical cord, Shen Gu talked with the ghost story craftsmen about some recent matters.

Mainly, Sister Jue made a request to him-

"While Shen Gu is now developing the power of the ordinary world, there is something that may be put on the agenda, that is, let the mermaid princess under your seat find a suitable apprentice for me and the little monk. Whether it is the work of the divine craftsman or the work of the little monk making candles, we are a little too busy at present."

Because of the operation of the power of Shen Gu Chuan Shin Takamahara, Sister Jue's workload has indeed increased a lot.

Not only does she have to deal with various commissions and orders from the ghost god co-lord, but also some commissions from the paradise market.

For example, Kanihime wants to prepare some weapons for her standing army; the processing of some products also requires the guidance of craftsmen.

Although Sister Jue has already compiled an encyclopedia on material processing, it is better to let Jue bring out one or two ghost story apprentices with craftsmanship and then put them into the production point of Changshi than to let the ghost stories involved in the production read from the book.

Not to mention the candle-making monk.

Now the demand for soul-soothing candles is extremely high. Not only must it meet the daily needs of Kamiya's cultivation of Shikigami ghost stories, but it is also necessary to regularly put some candles into the paradise market for circulation.

The green-skinned monk's candle-making tools are almost smoking.

Kamiya naturally agreed to arrange a craftsman apprentice, which is a reasonable request.

Then let Isohime look for it.

…

Kari Teimo, Kishimo God.

This god was introduced to Japan. After the localization of the belief, it has many different images among the people. The child protector is just one of the broader ones.

Some places believe that Kishimo is a beautiful and elegant goddess, while others believe that she is a vicious Yaksha demon.

Some people believe that Kishimo is the mother of all things and controls the cycle of life and death; others believe that Kishimo is the king of demons, and as a demon mother, she breeds many negative emotions such as jealousy and violence.

Anyway, everyone has their own opinions.

"There is a Kishimo temple in Zoshigaya, Tokyo. In addition, there are different beliefs in Kishimo in Mima County, Kiso County, and Kitamurayama County. You should be able to find corresponding shrines or Buddhist temples in the local area..."

Kamiyagawa compared the information obtained from the Countermeasures Office and began to plan the places to visit in the near future.

The shrine of Prajna is missing this core material, so of course he has to look for it seriously.

In the next few days, Kamiya visited Zoshigaya in Tokyo and explored the surrounding areas of Mima City and Kiso City.

But he did not make any useful progress.

A week later, he came to Kitamurayama County.

Kitamurayama County is located in Yamagata Prefecture in the southwest of the Tohoku region of Japan. There are many mountains here and the forest coverage rate is extremely high. It is a good place to get close to nature.

Noon.

Among the mountains of Kitamurayama County, the ghost car stopped on the road in front of the mountain.

Kamiya Kawa got out of the car and looked at the map in his hand.

"It seems to be here."

He looked up and saw a dark mountain road in front of him.

Although it was winter, the pine trees in the mountains were lush, with white snow on top, and the sea of ​​trees stretched as far as the eye could see.

In the morning, Kamiya used [One Thousand Silver Needles] and borrowed the identity of an intern folklorist to inquire about the news from nearby residents.

Finally, I learned from some old people that there was a Kishimo Shrine deep in the mountain in front of me.

But now there are probably few people visiting, so it is abandoned.

In addition, although Kishimo is essentially an imported Buddhist god, Buddhism has dominated Japan for a long time, and the native Shintoism has become a vassal, and the two have long influenced and infiltrated each other. Moreover, the belief in Kishimo is widely prevalent among the people, so it is normal for this deity to be enshrined in the shrine.

"According to the old man I dealt with this morning, this Kishimo Shrine in the mountains was used to bury infants who died prematurely. I hope that the dead children can become Buddhas under the protection of Kishimo..."

Continuing to recall the information he had learned in the morning, Kamiya then turned around and told Oishi on the car: "You just wait for me here. If you have any questions, call Mary in time."

"No problem, boss!"

The strength of the hearse group is no longer what it used to be, especially recently Takayama Mai has just absorbed the train's ghost story relics.

Even the driver in Kamiya's family is quite good.

There is no problem leaving them here.

After a brief explanation, Kamiya went up the mountain road alone.

There is a chill in the winter forest. Perhaps because no one has approached for a long time, this area is filled with a strange sense of loneliness.

After walking for a while, a torii appeared on the mountain road.

It is not a red color, but a mottled wood color.

At the top of the torii, there were some bells tied with hemp ropes. I don’t know if they were made of copper or some other material. They were a little white in color, swaying and ringing in the sobbing mountain wind.

Snap, snap.

Kamiya put his hands together in front of the torii and clapped them twice.

Saying hello is a basic quality of a visitor.

Then, he walked through the torii with ease.

Dingling——

The bells on the torii seemed to be a little louder.

In Shintoism, the Torii is actually a symbol of a barrier.

Outside the Torii is the world where humans live, and beyond the Torii is the territory of gods and demons.

Continue to go up.

Some Jizo statues began to appear on both sides of the mountain road, standing in the woods in a disorderly manner.

The temperature here seems to have dropped a little.

The forest wind blew, shaking some withered weeds on the ground, but it could not shake the heavy Jizo statues. Those stone statues just stood there in a rigid and disordered manner.

"This place..."

Kamiyakawa sensed something, and his pupils slightly condensed and scanned the side.

He saw a strong ghost aura permeating the mountains and forests, and behind the Jizo statues, there seemed to be something spying on him.

"Hehe." "Woo woo."

Kamiyaka heard the sound of children playing and crying, sobbing in the silent mountains and forests.

There seemed to be many infant ghosts in this place.

And it was obvious that there were other more powerful ghost stories in the depths.

"Maybe I came to the right place."

This weird atmosphere was nothing to Shen Gu, and even made him a little excited.

Continue to walk up.

The number of Jizo statues on the side of the mountain road increased, and the actions of the children and infant spirits became bolder.

There were even a few crimson-purple baby ghosts crawling past the feet of visitors with laughter.

Shen Gu didn't pay much attention to them, just some wandering ghosts.

After walking for a few more minutes, the vision was slightly wider.

There was an open space on the side of the mountain road, which was a large-scale cemetery.

There were hundreds of Jizo statues standing in it, rows and rows, like tombstones pressed together, oppressive, and the midday sun seemed dim here. Or, these Jizo statues originally represented tombstones.

According to the local old man, this place was used to bury premature children a long time ago, so under each Jizo statue, there should be a child's grave.

It's just that such a huge scale exceeded Shen Gu Chuan's previous estimate.

Moreover, the atmosphere of this place is very different from the mountain road we just passed through.

"They dare not come in... There are things that scare them here."

Shinya turned around and looked at the entrance of the cemetery.

The infant spirits and children who had followed him up the mountain road just now were crowded outside the garden, peeking in tremblingly.

"Woo woo--"

Blood and tears flowed from the hollow pupils, flowing across their delicate or wrinkled faces.

They were crying and waving at Shinya.

It seemed to signal him to leave.

Shinya shook his head at the ghosts and continued to go deeper into the cemetery.

There was a dilapidated wooden building in front.

It was not large in scale. Although it had been in disrepair for many years, the outline of the shrine could be seen.

This should be the abandoned Guizimu Shrine.

Whoosh--

The mountain breeze blew, and the air was a little colder than in the mountain road.

The wooden shrine made a creaking sound, and the dark group of Jizo statues stacked up behind it seemed to be shaking as well.
