Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 341: Turns into a sky full of cherry blossoms
The next day.
The three of Su Lun had a good night's rest, and they returned to the dilapidated shrine in Cangshan again.
The three of them used bricks and stones to restore a simple altar at the highest point of the hall.
Miko put on the washed shrine maiden costume, hung a straw woven rope and a white zigzag royal coin on the edge of the altar, and burned the incense she had collected from the materials she had collected over the past few days. Only then did the sacrificial process begin.
The process of Shinto sacrificial activities is quite complicated, but she is also meticulous and performs it religiously in accordance with ancient methods.
In addition to helping with the hard work of moving bricks and stones, Su Lun and Qian Jiao couldn't help much later. They were watching from a distance, the expressions on their faces all looked familiar.
Under normal circumstances, Miko will pray for blessings using secret methods for a while, and then try to communicate with the gods.
If the Lord of the Underworld is really "Izanami" in the Shanyin belief system, she, a Shinto witch, should be able to communicate.
If not, there’s another way to deal with it.
Su Lun also wants to use this method to determine what kind of existence the king is
Not long after, Yuzi was ready.
She washed her hands in the copper basin, then took off her shoes and socks, and walked onto the altar with her bare feet. Her movements were so slow, it looked like they were being replayed in slow motion. But if you look closely, her movements seem to be ghosted, with an unfathomable mystery.
This was the first time for Su Lun to observe such a "Saeiou" level sacrificial activity.
In other words, in this era, the number of people who have observed such top-level sacrificial activities does not exceed one finger.
Su Lun looked at it carefully and recorded some thoughts in his notebook from time to time. The Shinto sacrifices were completely different from the sacrifices of the Daru tribe he had seen before, which gave him a lot of different insights.
Miko was barefoot on the altar. After praying, she held a small drum and started beating.
"Bang", "Bang", "Bang"
The pace is slow.
The sound of the drum was crisp and resounded throughout the dilapidated shrine.
While she was knocking, she was also dancing.
For this procedure, Su Lun had seen the murals in the Imperial Palace Library of the Edo Kamfu clan before. After the sacrifice begins, the shrine maiden will perform several dances on the altar, including Kagura drums, bow skills, Kagura bells, and fan dance

Legend has it that it is viewed to please the gods in the sky.
The movements look very simple, but Yuzi dances beautifully. Every movement seems to be filled with deep piety, which makes people admire him unconsciously.
Su Lun's left eye was shining brightly, and he carefully observed every detail.
Gradually, he felt the power of faith gathering more and more intensely on the altar, like a layer of white light.
"It seems that we really got in touch"
Seeing this, Su Lun murmured in his heart
On the altar, Yuzi's movements were meticulous and slow.
But time seems to fly by.
Unconsciously, the dance of several Shinto instruments has been completed.
At this moment, Yu Zisong untied the rope belt on Fei Hakama, and the pair of royal hands retracted from the wide sleeves. After another look, she stretched out her right hand from the open part of her clothes. The left hand also did the same, and the plain white muscle ruffles of the upper body dropped to the waist, and the entire upper body was exposed to the air without any cover.
You can see the delicate collarbone, the right bulge, and the flat and smooth lower abdomen.
Su Lun looked slightly different.
Miko's skin has a luster like warm jade, and is crystal clear white. At this moment, the divine power was gathered in her body, and her whole body was exuding white fluorescence, like a dust-free beauty, giving people a fresh and refined sense of sanctity.
Even if people look at her naked body, they won't have any evil thoughts in their hearts.
Su Lun knew that the most critical part of the sacrifice was coming, and the witch was about to start dancing the Kagura dance.
Whether the gods will be attracted is now.
Qianjou on the side was also watching intently, his hand always resting on the handle of the knife.
This is the Kingdom of Underworld, and the Cangshan Shrine has no barrier to block monsters. They were not sure whether it was a **** or a monster that was attracted.
If something really goes wrong, he will choose to save Yuzi immediately.
In fact, this sacrificial dance was not only watched by gods in ancient times.
But because all the kings of the past were royal daughters, their **** were exposed, so others could not see her.
Later, this sacrificial activity was gradually passed down, and outsiders were not allowed to watch. During each sacrifice, Saio prayed alone in the shrine.
Just like now.
Miko held a kagura bell and danced on the altar. Her figure was flying all over the sky. For a moment, she was shadowy, as if there were ten or dozens of shadows, making it difficult to tell where the real body was
This Kagura dance is not only a sacrificial technique, but also a very clever way of changing body and shape.
She was dancing and reciting congratulations.
Usually the content of the blessing is some prayers for rain, blessing and protection.
Now, she prays to talk to the gods
On the altar, the sky was bright, like daylight.
This vision is like the light of dawn in the cold underworld, which is very eye-catching.
Su Lun's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression became more and more solemn.
Because he clearly sensed that after Miko began to dance the Kagura dance, the mountains surrounding Cangshan began to gather surging demonic energy. This is the nearby ghosts and ghosts being forcibly attracted by Shinto secrets. Most of them hide their heads and show their tails
The three of them have not yet waited for the leader of the country, Izanami.
At this moment, a monster couldn't hold it any longer. Death energy suddenly rolled over the broken wall outside the shrine, and a ferocious face slowly formed. It looked at the white light on the altar with a greedy look in its eyes.
Su Lun’s appraisal showed that it was [Gukuli Po], a kind of evil ghost.
Before the ghostly face could fully reveal itself, Qianjou suddenly drew his sword and slashed through with a sharp sword energy, killing the great demon who coveted the power of faith on the spot.
Su Lun kept his eyes straight and stood ready.
On the altar, Miko was still dancing with all her heart. This Kagura dance requires divine power to communicate with gods, which consumes a lot of physical energy and divine power. After dancing for a while, beads of sweat overflowed on her skin. Under the refraction of the light, the beads were crystal clear, adding a bit of meaning. Because of the dancing posture, it slid down the smooth skin.
Suddenly, Su Lun sensed something, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he shouted softly: "Here we come!"
Hearing this, Chijou on the side quickly closed her eyes, because she also sensed the indescribable will that suddenly descended on the shrine!
Don’t look directly at gods.
In this moment, the huge will became clearer and clearer
After Su Lun had a clear perception and confirmed what he saw with his left eye, he felt a storm in his heart: "How is it possible! Fujiwara Hayato actually described a real **** in a novel?"
He originally thought that Izanami was just a "big monster" or a "false god".
But the indescribable feeling in perception is definitely not something that low-level creatures can compare to.
This is the real "god"!
Because Su Lun himself has seen god-level creatures with his own eyes, the identification of the Omniscient Eye is absolutely correct.
But how is that possible
How can there be a real **** in a cursed space? !
Hayato Fujiwara described the "indescribable" existence with his pen?
For a moment, Su Lun's own perception was contradictory to the facts he saw.
He vaguely sensed something was wrong. But the feeling was not strong enough for him to judge whether his perception was wrong or whether he was deceived by his senses.
Qian Tiao glanced at him from the corner of his eye, with confusion on his face. Because the normal plan is that she will wait for Su Lun to judge the situation and then decide what to do next.
But now, Su Lun himself is confused.
Facing monsters, you can fight or retreat.
What about a true God?
Before Su Lun could think about it, Yuzi knelt down on the altar devoutly.
Su Lun also lowered his eyebrows and did not dare to look directly.
If this is really a god, it would be offensive for lower-level creatures to look directly at him.
That indescribable will condensed in the sky. Su Lun didn't know what it looked like, but he could sense the exaggerated mountain-like soul.
The "Izanami" who descended on the shrine saw that it was Miko who summoned him, and his overbearing pressure restrained somewhat.
But there is still a majesty that cannot be offended.
The pressure above their heads dissipated, and Su Lun and Qian Jiao felt that their stagnant breathing returned to normal.
A female majestic voice echoed around the barren mountain: "Believers of Amaterasu, I didn't expect to see living people in the Underworld."
Izanami in the sky seemed to have some freshness in the eternal silence, and murmured to herself.
Su Lun also immediately sensed that a subtle wave of testing swept over him.
However, this coming being did not show any hostility upon his arrival, and he and Qian Jiao beside him breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
After pondering for a moment, Izanami seemed to sense something, and then said to Miko on the altar: "I feel your piety, tell me what you pray for."
Although Miko is a shrine maiden of Iga Shrine, after all, these Yamagakure gods are part of the same system and can be said to be all believers.
Miko responded respectfully: "The great Lord of the Underworld, Lord Izanami, who rules death, I am the 99th generation of the Amaterasu Kamfu clan, Saio Kamfu Miko. I accidentally entered the Kingdom of the Underworld during my trip. I beg you to send us away from here."
Hearing this, a sneer came from the sky, "No living person can leave the land of hell."
Miko knelt on the ground and said nothing.
Mikos only serve as substitutes for the gods. After praying, the final decision is in the hands of the gods.
No matter what the outcome is, she must abide by it
Can’t living people go out?
When Su Lun heard this, he was disappointed but not surprised. He thought to himself: If it were really so easy to get out, it wouldn’t be T-level difficulty
But just when this thought came to mind,
Suddenly, the situation took a sudden turn.
The majestic voice seemed to have changed its attention and sounded again: "However, for the sake of your piety, I agree to your prayer."
After hearing this, Yuzi was overjoyed and quickly knelt down, "Thank you, Lord of the Kingdom."
"???"
This time, Su Lun can’t be dealt with.
Agreed so easily?
It's easy and even feels a little unreal.
But his intuition told him that it seemed not that simple.
As expected, Miko seemed to have received some instructions. She said with a face full of fear: "But Lord, can I ask you to send my two friends out too?"
Su Lun was shocked when he heard this.
Izanami's tone became a bit sullen and indifferent, and said: "They are not Shinto believers, and I have no obligation to help them. Besides, do you think that in the land of hell, you can come and leave as you please? ?"
The tyranny of the Lord of the Underworld is fully demonstrated in these words.
Hearing this, Yuzi became even more frightened, her face lowered into the dust.
Originally, a miko should absolutely obey the will of the gods, but for the first time, she insisted on her own idea. She begged again: "Please, Lord, send my friend away. For this, I am willing to give everything I have."
"Royal Son"
Su Lun wanted to stop him, but Yuzi's words had already been spoken.
Moreover, these words seemed to touch some taboo, and Izanami's tone suddenly turned sinister: "Hahaha, you are a Shinto miko, but you are interceding for two outsiders?"
Miko's face was full of uneasiness, but her tone remained firm, "Mr. Su Lun and Miss Senjo are Miko's very, very important friends. I beg the Lord to grant your permission."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point.
"Hehehehe, stupid!"
Izanami seemed to be irritated, sneered again and again, and asked: "If I say that only one of you and your friends can leave the Underworld, will you still insist on your decision?"
Hearing this, Yuzi was slightly startled, as if he recalled too many acquaintances in the past, and felt inexplicably warm in his heart.
Meeting them seems to be the happiest thing in my life.
She nodded without hesitation: "Yes. Even if it costs my life."
What Su Lun and the others didn't know was that at this moment, in a secret room in Edo City, another page of a novel automatically turned.
This sentence automatically appeared in the book: "The inner heart of Shenfu Miko is full of contradictions. She cannot violate her beliefs, but on the other side, she feels that she can be a friend of life and death. In the end, she chose to give up on herself life, giving Su Lun and Su Lun a glimmer of hope."
Hearing Miko's answer, Izanami did not hide her ridicule: "Haha, what a ridiculous emotion!"
She suddenly became very irritable and almost yelled: "Stupid believer, that's as you wish! Give up your life, I'll send your friend away!"
When Su Lun heard this, he secretly thought that he was going to suffer.
Gods, like humans, also have many bad qualities such as jealousy, resentment, and greed.
Legend has it that Izanami came to the underworld because of death, and her companion Izanagi came to the imperial court to find her back. But when he saw her rotting body, he was so frightened that he ran away in a hurry. At this point, this Izanami has been full of "malice" towards the world.
It is said that He was jealous of all perfect love, friendship, and family ties from then on.
In common human terms, this guy has some mental problems.
Su Lun spoke quickly and interrupted: "No! Yuzi, leave here first when you have the chance!"
He didn't doubt that Izanami could send them away, but he definitely wouldn't trade it with Miko's life.
Qianjou on the side also saw the determination in Miko's expression and shouted: "Miko, no!"
Unfortunately, it's too late.
Miko looked back at them, with a sad smile on her lips, "Mr. Su Lun, Sister Senjo, I am very happy to meet you in this life. Meeting you has made my life the most beautiful. ”
As she spoke, her body glowed brightly, and in the eyes of Su Lun and the two of them, it turned into a sky full of pink cherry blossom petals and spread out.
Miko doesn’t know that this is a real god!
This was the only chance she could see to survive.
If she leaves, who can communicate with this adult?
Su Lun and his wife are almost certain to die.
This makes Miko unable to be so selfish.
She took her own life decisively, without giving Su Lun or the **** any time to react.
Since God agreed.
Then if she dies, she won’t have a chance to regret it.
Worth it
Miko's body collapsed on the altar, and her smile disappeared among the cherry blossoms.
Qianjo shouted urgently: "Miko!"
Su Lun also gritted his teeth, looking gloomy and unable to speak.
Before, he thought about any possible situation, but he did not expect this.
Before the sad thoughts could pass away, at this moment, the slightly teasing voice came from the sky again: "Okay, since she chose to end her life in exchange for yours. You decide, who Stay, who can get out?
After hearing this, Su Lun's eyes turned cold.
This is playing with human nature again
In the eyes of that aloof god, lower creatures like humans probably just brought her a little fun for endless years.
