Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 326: Does Kagura dance require you to take off your clothes?

[Talent A-088-Tian Tong Yan] This talent is very rare, has a very strong ability, and belongs to the mysterious prophecy ability.

But there is no increase in combat power.

At least this is the case for recorded primary awakenings.

Su Lun knew from the classics he had read before that this line of "bloodline boundaries" had been passed down in Shanyin.

It is said that these eyes can see where sentient beings in the six realms die and where they are reincarnated.

But ability possessors are doomed to a tragic fate from the moment they are born.

Because once those eyes are opened, you can see the scene of others dying...and that is a fact that will definitely happen in the future and cannot be changed.

So they will see the death scenes of relatives and friends around them again and again. Fate gives them the opportunity to see the future clearly, but they cannot change it. This is the most powerless thing.

Therefore, people who have awakened this talent are usually regarded as "unknown people" who bring death.

This is similar to the death bird in Su Lun's contract.

The young violinist in front of her is not blind, she just doesn’t want to use those eyes to see a world that feels like a “horror movie” to her.

Seeing her come to the door, Su Lun frowned and had a bad feeling

Qianjou also seemed to recognize the specialness of these eyes. He smiled slightly and asked, "What, do you have something to say to me?"

The girl's face was sad, as if suing her would bring bad luck to people, "I know you are looking for my grandfather. But he passed away two years ago."

"Your grandfather?"

When Senjo heard this, he suddenly realized something and asked: "Are you the granddaughter of the "Sword Master" Akutagawa Ryuichi? ”

The girl nodded, "My grandfather picked it up."

Speaking out this identity will bring her a lot of trouble.

Qianjou looked stunned as he listened, and murmured: "No wonder there is sword meaning in your piano music"

But at the same time, she also showed deep regret on her face, "Mr. Akutagawa has passed away. This is a pity."

The girl violinist seems not to know how to structure her language so as not to make people feel disgusted, just like once in the village, because she predicted the death of the villagers, she was gradually feared, ignored, excluded, and driven away by everyone.

She stammered: "I don't know how I can help you. But this is for you."

As he said that, the girl violinist randomly removed the pegs of her shamisen, and then disassembled the entire piano, revealing a small carving knife and a piece of white paper inside: "This is what grandpa gave me. I carved the piano. He once said that if you meet a good person, give the thing away. Me"

Senjou's pupils shrank when he saw the carving knife: "The true secret of Akutagawa's Itto-ryu!"

The closer she looked, the more she felt the sharp and cutting sword intent from that simple carving knife.

The pattern of the villain drawn on Bai Juan is a very advanced sword skill.

Qianjou took a deep breath, and the joy on his heroic face could not be concealed, "You gave it to me?"

The girl violinist nodded, "Yeah."

She looked a little flustered, as if she didn't know if she was questioned, she couldn't explain her actions, "I don't know if I can help you. But you are good people. I can only do so much. ."

Hearing this, Qian Jiao suddenly understood something.

She smiled slightly, "Did you see my death?"

"我我"

Hearing this, the girl violinist couldn’t hide her panic, was she going to be hated again?

What surprised her was that the female swordsman in front of her asked again in a very calm tone: "I am also a little curious, how will I die?"

The girl violinist hesitated for a moment, and then said with difficulty: "I saw you were burning in the fire"

Su Lun on the side did not speak the whole time, but when he heard this, his mood suddenly fluctuated.

Will Sister Senjo die?

Although we know that this is the destined return journey in everyone's life, it always makes people feel inexplicably uncomfortable when it is mentioned in advance.

Furthermore, he knew very well that the death scene predicted by the legendary [Talent A-088-Tian Tongyan] was destined to happen.

In other words, Qian Jiao will die in an accident? (Qian Jiao will not die, there is a very interesting plot later)

The two people on the side had some fluctuations in their hearts, but only the victim, Senjo, raised his eyebrows inadvertently when he heard this.

There was no sadness or much surprise on her face, and she seemed to take her own life and death very lightly.

This is the fate of the Rakshasa girl.

Looking at the little girl's uneasy expression, she smiled openly as if relieved, and asked: "Did I ever regret it then?"

"No."

The girl violinist shook her head, looked at the person in front of her with her dull eyes, and responded: "I saw you looking back and smiling in the flames."

After hearing this, Qian Jiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly with satisfaction, "That's good."

As if seeing the expected ending, everything is not that important anymore.

She looked at the girl in front of her and asked: "Do you want to be my disciple?"

The girl violinist shook her head: "No. This is my own fate. It cannot be changed by others."

Qianjou shrugged, as if he saw his own shadow, and didn't say much.

She turned to greet Su Lun, who was slightly distracted, "Let's go."

"Yeah."

Su Lun nodded.

He glanced at the girl again, but hesitated to speak, as if he thought he should say something, but didn't know what to say.

The girl violinist has closed her eyes, "Sir, you are the master of the underworld. I can't see your future."

The two walked out of the alley side by side.

Su Lun looked at the snow on the ground and glanced at Qian Jiao next to him from the corner of his eye.

It was as if he was looking at her so seriously for the first time. That heroic face still had that frivolous and frivolous smile.

Qianjou naturally noticed this gaze and complained: "Hey, hey, hey, why are you always looking at me?"

Su Lun shrugged and did not respond to her.

At this moment, he thought of many things in his mind.

How can one avoid death?

Su Lun suddenly felt, is this the meaning of studying the three ultimate topics of alchemy and unlocking the meaning of life?

There is no eternal matter in the world.

One day, relatives will die, friends will die, and I will die too

Everything in the world is destined to end from the moment it is born.

And this end point is "death"?

Is death really the end?

He had a vague feeling in his heart.

Su Lun's understanding of the "Law of Death" was far beyond that of ordinary people. At this moment, it was like quicksand passing between his fingers, and he seemed to have realized something new.

Just when some thoughts flashed through his mind, suddenly, an arm was put on his shoulder skillfully, and then he pulled her body hard.

As close as ever.

Su Lun only felt that his head was deeply immersed in a gentle touch, he was punched, and thousands of dissatisfied mutterings came from his ears: "What are you thinking!"

Qianjiao is half a head shorter than Su Lun.

The intimate movements between the two of them forced Su Lun to bend over. His neck was locked and he couldn't break free, so he simply squatted down and then picked Qian Jiao up by the waist.

Thousands of times before, Qianjiao had the upper hand, but this time, Su Lun turned against him.

The body suddenly became airborne, and Qianjou was also greatly surprised. He couldn't break free, "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing, put me down quickly!"

"Hahaha"

Su Lun laughed, but ignored her struggle and ran wildly in the alley.

His physical fitness is not bad. Even when carrying a person, he is as light as a swallow. He ran and jumped, found the highest house nearby, and climbed directly to the roof. Only then did he put Qian Jiao down.

It was completely dark at this moment, and the huge Edo City was filled with orange-red lights, and the starry sky was bright when you looked up.

Qian Jiao was carried onto the roof, his eyes dim. He originally wanted to beat Su Lun, but looking at the scene in front of him, his eyes gradually became blurred: "Hey, the scenery here is quite good."

Su Lun smiled.

The two sat side by side on the ridge of the roof, watching the fireworks in the city.

The Hiikawa River divides Edo Castle into two urban areas, the north and the south. There are sparks floating on the river, which are river lanterns set off by residents to pray to the gods. There are also some Kongming lanterns floating in the sky. Because they are far apart, they look like fireflies.

Recently, many deceased people from Huangquan Kingdom have appeared in the city, and more and more people are worshiping them.

At the end of the field of vision is a large mountain with hazy shadows.

It is the "White Sun Sacred Mountain", one of the three sacred mountains in Shanyin. Even at night, you can see the majestic mountain and the white snow on the peak. The palaces with white walls and green tile roofs built against the mountains are the imperial residences where the royal family lives.

The two didn't speak for a long time, their eyes reflecting the scene in the city.

Suddenly, a paper crane flew into the sky.

Senjo stretched out his hand to catch the paper crane and said, "Miss Miko is here."

Su Lun looked down and saw several figures approaching quickly.

A few guards stayed below, and a figure in white clothes ran up to the roof. After a closer look, it turned out to be Mitsuo Oko, a woman disguised as a man.

When Miko saw the two people sitting on the ridge of the roof, she sat next to Senjo without saying anything, "Hey, Sister Senjo and Mr. Su Lun found a place with a good view."

Qianjou pursed his lips and said, "Su Lun found it."

As she spoke, she hooked Yuzi's shoulder again and said, "Miss Yuzi, Su Lun wants to live with you for a few days. I ask you if you are willing."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere instantly became very strange.

Su Lun glanced at her, dumbfounded.

It means that even though that is what it means, when the words come out of Senjou's mouth, it doesn't taste right.

Fortunately, Miko has become very familiar with them these days. When she heard Qian Jiao's words, she automatically threw out those jokes and immediately understood the meaning of these words, "How many days does Mr. Su Lun want to live in the emperor's residence? ”

She showed a warm and hospitable smile, asking and answering herself: "Of course!"

"Yeah."

Su Lun also nodded and expressed his thoughts, "I want to stay in the royal library for a few days and read Shanyin's classics. I don't know if it is convenient for Miss Miko."

"Of course it is convenient."

Miko said happily: "There are indeed many secret books in the library. Mr. Su Lun likes to study so much, he will definitely not be disappointed."

They were no longer strangers, and Su Lun was not overly polite and said with a smile: "Then I will cause trouble for you."

Miko didn’t take it seriously, “It’s not really a trouble.”

Qianjou on the side seemed to feel that the mission of his existence was completed, and muttered: "Then you talk slowly, I will not accompany you."

Hearing this, Miko looked at Senjo and said in surprise: "Sister Senjo, aren't you going?"

Qianjou was a restless person and said with a bored expression: "There are so many rules in the Imperial Palace, what's the point? I don't want to be locked up there."

With that said, she stood up and jumped down without looking back, "Okay, you two go and have a good chat, I'll leave first!"

Looking again, in the blink of an eye, the person had disappeared into the alley.

Su Lun: ""

Miko: ""

The two people on the roof looked at each other, both looking dumbfounded.

Miko stood up and bowed slightly: "Mr. Su Lun, let's go then."

Su Lun followed Yuzi to the imperial palace at the foot of the "White Sun Mountain".

As expected of a princess, there were many guards around her in Edo City. Along the way, Su Lun also noticed many masters among the various secret guards.

Su Lun just wanted to find a place to do his research and read books without being disturbed. Naturally, he didn't want to meet any royal figures. Those red tapes and useless social interactions were of no more significance to him than doing two more alchemy experiments.

Yuzi also knew what he was thinking, so he didn't inform anyone else and took Su Lun all the way across the moat and into the palace surrounded by white walls.

The two quietly entered the imperial palace.

The palace complex is not too large, with outer gardens and imperial gardens. The Royal Garden was where the emperor lived and was heavily guarded. It would be troublesome to go in to pay homage, so Su Lun didn't want to go. The library he wants to go to is in Dongwaiyuan, which is a four-story building with the same green tile roof.

After entering the palace, the guards dispersed.

Miko's status is very special. Not only is she an imperial daughter, she is also a king, and she has great power.

Leading a person into the palace, no one came to ask.

She is like a competent little tour guide, introducing her home.

The two passed through a garden with a green lotus pond and large cherry blossom trees. I don’t know what method was used, but the flowers in the garden were in full bloom, creating a charming scene full of spring.

The buildings in the Imperial Palace are decorated with carved beams and painted beams, and the wooden construction craftsmanship is achieved to the extreme, which is pleasing to the eye.

Miko led Su Lun on the stone slabs in the garden. She pointed to the building next to the library and said, "That's the royal treasure house."

"Oh?"

Su Lun looked at the small museum-like building, casually looked over, and saw a set of famous Warring States armors stored in a glass cabinet. The royal family's collection is naturally extremely luxurious, and almost all of Shanyin's top secret treasures are gathered here.

The two walked and chatted.

Su Lun also briefly talked to Yuzi about some of his views, such as industrial and social development. The current situation in Shanyin is very complicated, and it is also the general trend.

However, there is a certain conflict between the technological society and the theocratic society. He did not say much, but just reminded a few words as a friend.

Miko may know the situation better than him.

While chatting, the two walked into the library.

The building is very dry, and whale oil lamps are hung on the beams, making it bright even at night.

The two of them turned a corridor and saw a dense collection of various classics.

Miko introduced: "On the first floor are some classics collected by the people; on the second floor are some orphan and rare books; on the third floor are various secret techniques, ninjutsu, and onmyoji; on the fourth floor are the royal secrets. Go to the fourth floor If so, I need permission from my father, because many classics about gods are not allowed to be read by people other than the Shenfu clan."

As she said that, she smiled slightly: "However, if Mr. Su Lun wants to go up, I will be in the palace these days and can accompany you up."

Su Lun listened and responded: "Then I'd like to trouble Miss Yuzi. I just want to know something about Yamagakure. If it's a too sensitive classic, there's no need to read it."

It is already a great honor to be taken by the majestic princess to visit the royal collection, and he will not push too far.

Besides, there are so many classics on the third floor that it would take many years to read them all.

Listening, Yuzi smiled slightly. The two of them were already familiar with this way of getting along.

She then introduced: "Unfortunately, the library was burned down and many classics are missing."

Su Lun was also a little surprised, "Has this place been burned?"

There are many masters in the palace. Even if there is a fire, if you use the "Water Release Ninjutsu" to extinguish the fire every minute, will it still burn?

"Yes, it is burned almost every one or two hundred years."

As Yuzi said, he seemed to know what was strange about Su Lun, and added: "Actually, it is not all accidents. Some fires are the will of the gods. The content of some words will offend the majesty of the gods, or should not be spread by others. If it is opened, it cannot be left in the world."

"Oh."

Su Lun listened with an enlightened expression on his face.

At the same time, he also thought of what Mr. Jing said before, that certain knowledge in humans will be erased and blocked by higher gods. Have you seen an example?

The two of them did not stay on the first floor and climbed up the wooden stairs to the second floor.

This floor contains mostly orphan books and manuscripts, and even transcripts cannot be purchased outside.

Su Lun's eyes were electric and he quickly scanned the labels on the bookshelf. His eyesight and brain development are extremely high, and he can roughly understand what books are there at a glance.

What he saw made him slightly confused, "Miss Miko, is there a manuscript by the great writer Fujiwara Hayato?"

"Of course there is."

Miko clapped her hands.

At this time, someone in the attic immediately responded: "Reporting to Your Highness the Princess, Hayato Fujiwara's manuscript was borrowed by the Minister of Military and Aircraft Kazuo Hojo two days ago. There is only the transcript of the ninth year of Taihe in the library. In the West Thirteen Cabinet."

Miko listened and nodded: "Yes. You go ahead."

Su Lun was not surprised, because he just scanned the bookshelf with the label "Fujiwara Hayato" and it was empty.

He suddenly thought of Katyusha's grandmother. That old man had really great energy. Someone from the divine service royal library took out things for her in advance.

Su Lun didn’t say much. Manuscripts, transcripts, etc. make no difference to him.

At this time, he remembered the words of the previous bookstore owner and asked: "By the way, does Miss Miko know Sensoji Temple? I heard that Mr. Fujiwara ended up being a Buddhist monk in that temple?"

Miko nodded: "Of course I know. The history of Sensoji Temple is earlier than Edo Castle. It is said that the 'Yama-no-Orochi' is sealed there."

Su Lun asked: "Yama-no-Orochi? Did that monster in myths and legends really exist?"

Although I asked this question, this is a mythical creature. Counting time, there is a high probability that there is no monster in Amaterasu's era.

"It is said that there is."

Miko responded with a sweet smile, paused, and explained euphemistically: "That's what the monks are guarding. I'm a Shinto shrine maiden, so I don't know very well."

Shanyin not only has Shintoism, but also Buddhist temples. These are two belief systems that have little overlap with each other.

"Oh."

Su Lun didn’t ask any more questions.

But my thoughts started to spin, so why did Mr. Fujiwara choose to practice at Sensoji Temple?

The two of them walked up to the third floor without knowing it.

There are far fewer classics on the third floor, but there are many more scrolls, stone tablets, and animal skin papers with obvious energy fluctuations. There are also the emblems of various ninja families, the emblems of major families, and the logos of martial arts schools, covering almost every era of Yamagakure. Ninjutsu, swordsmanship, Shinto secrets, onmyoji, forbidden arts and secrets

Su Lun felt dazzled just by looking at those labels.

Going up is the most mysterious fourth floor of the Library.

Even on the stairs, Su Lun saw various restrictions.

Although Su Lun knew that the classics upstairs involved some taboos, he also wanted to visit them to gain some knowledge.

He then asked: "Miss Miko, can you go upstairs to visit?"

Miko understood what he meant and nodded happily, "Of course."

Benedict, Benedict, Benedict

The two of them walked up the stairs.

With Yuzi in front, those restrictions were not triggered.

As I walked up, I saw that the space was not too big and there were not too many collections.

Su Lun looked at the black and white curtains with the Sakura clan emblem that lured the Kamfu clan hanging everywhere on the fourth floor, as well as some sacrificial totems of Amaterasu.

For most of the collections here, Su Lun clearly felt that indescribable will.

This is the power of the gods.

Miko introduced: "Here are the items inherited by our Shenfu clan. We once enshrined the 'Three Divine Artifacts' Tiancongyun Sword, Eight-foot Qiong Magatama and Eight-tatami Mirror. Unfortunately, they were later lost in the war."

"Oh"

Su Lun also felt that he had learned a lot. This was the first time he had seen so many "divine things".

Having seen it all, he didn't want to offend.

I stopped for a moment, thinking about going on.

But at this time, with a quick glance, he looked at the colorful murals on the wall, and he let out a sigh in his heart, and his eyes focused on it.

What is painted on the mural is the situation of the "Black Sun Festival".

The content is the legend that Su Lun heard. Amaterasu left in anger, and a black sun appeared in the sky, and people held a grand sacrificial ceremony.

The core content of the story is the witch sacrificial process.

She is not an ordinary miko. Looking at her clothes, she is a Saio!

The witch in the mural dances on an overturned barrel, with her upper body uncovered, her **** exposed, and her pockets hanging down to her private parts, attracting cheers from the onlookers.

The painting style is very realistic, making people feel like they are seeing real people like in the movie scenes. There seemed to be divine music ringing in my ears, and the dance seemed like a celestial being dancing.

However, looking at the miko costume, Su Lun unconsciously thought of the Mikoden miko costume. The temperament and appearance were 90% similar.

Furthermore, he also learned that orthodox Kagura dance requires taking off clothes?

Although I don’t have any evil thoughts, I can’t help thinking about it.

Miko naturally noticed Su Lun's gaze, a blush flashed across her cheeks, and explained: "This is the 'Kagura Dance', a dance to worship the gods that every generation of Saio must be familiar with."

She seemed to have thought of something else, paused, and explained a little more: "This dance is for the gods to see. It can only be seen on the altar of the shrine and cannot be seen by others. Those outside Kagura dance is all simplified”

Su Lun looked stunned and said, "That's it."

He also felt that coming to this trip was really the right thing to do, and his knowledge greatly increased.

This Miko is also a good friend.

Without her, Su Lun would never have had the opportunity to come into contact with so many secrets of Shanyin Country

The two stayed for a moment and walked down the third floor.

Miko knew that Su Lun had many secrets and it would be very troublesome if outsiders knew about them, so she ordered the guards in the library to leave the building.

Not long after, there were only two people in the huge library.

Miko also has to prepare for the big sacrifice, so he will stay in the imperial palace these days, burn incense, bathe and fast. She lives in the attic not far from the library, and can come over at a moment's notice if anything happens.

Su Lun didn't think anything would happen.

At least before the Black Sun Festival, he was prepared to be in the library.

He has too much to do.

As soon as Yuzi left, Su Lun untied the eight-armed spider spear costume, and countless threads pulled out all the classics he was interested in.

Read hundreds of lines at a time, read several books at a time.

Su Lun devoured the knowledge in the library.
