The group soon reached the top of Yunding Mountain. As soon as they came up, they saw a dilapidated shrine.
The shrine is not big and is a small and medium-sized shrine.
Before entering the shrine, you must first pass through the torii gate.
But the gate-shaped torii gate in front of me has long been worn away by wind and rain. The two red pillars that fix the torii gate have revealed the white wood inside, and the whole thing is pitted. The pillar on the right has completely collapsed to the ground, without the support of the pillar on the right. Looking from the sky, the entire torii has fallen to the ground, taking the shape of a large boomerang.
Kamo Sage stepped forward, looked at the shurien rope that had fallen to the ground, inspected it briefly, and then sighed and shook his head, "The shinen rope has been completely destroyed, and the barrier of Unshima Shrine has been broken."
Generally, shrines with onmyojis have a barrier. The barrier is guided by a rope and is set up on the torii gate. In addition to generating barriers, it is also to prevent disasters from passing through.
The so-called disaster refers to some unclean things.
"Judging from the damage to the torii, it must have been half a year since the seal of Unshima Shrine was broken, right?" Kazuki Kimura wondered, "What if the demon god who was suppressed for more than half a year has already escaped? "
"If we run away...then we can only explain the situation to Shengui Fuming Palace." Kamo Sheng smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid we will have to set up a team to investigate and deal with this matter."
Kamo Sheng, Japan's Great Onmyoji, Kamiki Fumeikou requested the other party to come over, mainly to understand the situation of Unshima Shrine. But although Kamo Sheng is powerful, he has always been a cautious person, so he wanted to invite others to investigate with him. Of course, if there are any benefits, they will be distributed according to work.
If you can't find anything, it's just a trip in vain.
Although Unshima Shrine is registered in Shengui Fuming Palace, it has always been outside the circle of Japanese Onmyoji. The discovery of the destruction of Unshima Shrine was made by a shrine maiden from Kamiki Fumeikou who came to visit her friend. When the witch saw this, she did not go in to investigate. Instead, she immediately notified Shengui Fuming Palace.
The other party obviously knew that Yundao Shrine suppressed demon gods, so he did not go deep into the shrine to seek death.
"According to Kamiki Fumeikou, it should have been a year since the destruction of Cloud Island Shrine." Kamo Sheng sighed, "In this situation, Kamiki Fumeikou should have been informed earlier, but it's a pity..."
Cloud Island Shrine is now empty. Apparently, something bad happened to the onmyoji and the shrine maidens in the shrine.
Haruyang stood aside, looking at the horrific scene, and couldn't help but say, "Why don't the people of Sakagami Village rebuild the shrine? According to what you just said, Grandpa Kamo, this Unshima Shrine should be protected and suppressed by the Sakagami family for generations. right."
"Because after the onmyoji and shrine maidens at Unshima Shrine were destroyed, the Sakagami family's inheritance was cut off." Kamo Sheng didn't speak. When he spoke, Mei, her pretty face looked like a little adult, with a sighing look on her face, " The inheritance of Unshima Shrine is that each generation of onmyoji or shrine maiden selects qualified people in Sakagami Village and teaches them carefully. Then they take over the responsibility of suppressing the demons. Therefore, the current villagers of Sakagami Village do not know what Unshima Shrine is. Yes, they only know that there is a Yundao Shrine on Yundao Mountain, that’s all.”
"That's it." Chunyang suddenly realized.
Ordinary villagers in Sakagami Village have no idea what Unshima Shrine is for, and they think it is just an ordinary shrine. Coupled with the seclusion of the village, the village is extremely backward and poor. Undao Shrine is now like this. If you want to rebuild Undao Shrine, it is estimated that every household will need to contribute money to rebuild it. But the roads built in Sakagami Village are gravel roads, not cement roads. If they are asked to pay to rebuild Unshima Shrine, no one will do it.
Perhaps the first generation of Sakagami Village knew the responsibilities of Unshima Shrine, but now more than a thousand years have passed, and I am afraid that only the onmyoji and shrine maidens of Unshima Shrine know about it.
They would not take the initiative to inform the people in the village, after all, this would cause panic.
Hearing this, Mucunheshu looked forward and saw that the entire shrine had collapsed. However, this scene gave him a familiar feeling.
Thinking about it, Mucun Kazuki came to the shrine. Although the shrine in front of you has been completely damaged, you can still vaguely see what it looked like before it was destroyed.
And this scene made the familiarity in his mind even more familiar.
"Where is the place where Unshima Shrine suppresses the seal?"
"We still have to look for it." Kamo Sheng looked helpless.
"Okay, let's search separately." Mucunheshu pulled Chunyang and told him, "Follow me."
"Yeah!" Chunyang responded heavily, while Furukashi Yingjiu couldn't help curling her lips when she saw her daughter's excitement.
Naturally, Kamo Sheng had no objection, and he also asked Asuka and Mei to follow him. Although it takes longer to find the seal, it is safer.
Moreover, Unshima Shrine itself is not big, so it doesn’t take much effort to explore it.
Within half an hour, a white paper crane flew over. Under Chunyang's curious eyes, the paper crane suddenly said, "Master Kimura, we have found the sealing point. Please follow me!"
Listen to the sound, it's a flying bird.
Chunyang's eyes flashed with fondness. Apparently Qianzhihe could also send messages, and this ability made her a little yearning.
Mucunheshu didn't say anything and followed directly.
Within a few minutes, the two came to a room. Unlike Unshima Shrine, although this house is a stone house, it is intact.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw Kamo Sheng and the others, and the paper crane flew into Asuka's hand and turned into a yellow talisman, which Asuka carefully put away. Seeing Chunyang's gaze, Feiniao chuckled and said with a boastful tone, "This is the Thousand Paper Crane Talisman, used to convey news. However, the flaws are also obvious. The transmission distance is too short. I am still studying it. How can the Thousand Paper Crane Talisman be used to send messages thousands of miles away?"
The Thousand Paper Crane Talisman is obviously a bit useless in modern times. After all, as long as you have a mobile phone, you can completely destroy the Thousand Paper Crane Talisman. But the Thousand Paper Crane Talisman was developed by Asuka, and he had to show it off when he was free.
Mei Yi next to her was speechless.
"Is this here?" Mucunheshu didn't have any special interest in the Thousand Paper Crane Talisman. He had seen many talismans, and they had various effects. In front of him, Fei Niao was completely insignificant.
"The residence of the Onmyoji of the Unshima Shrine throughout the ages." Kamo Sheng stood beside a table. He bent slightly and held a dusty wooden lamp on the table, twisting it slightly.
The next moment, Mucunheshu saw that the entire table was sinking. After a while, a passage leading to the ground was revealed.
The mechanism is obvious, but Kimura Kazuki also knows that the Onmyoji of Unshima Shrine may live here to suppress the devil at all times. In addition, the onmyoji from outside rarely come, so even if the mechanism is obvious, outsiders will not know.
Kimura Kazuki and Kamo Sei looked at each other, and then spoke first, "I'll go in first."
Kamo Sheng nodded and was not polite.
He is an onmyoji, and Kazuki Kimura is a swordsman.
According to the Japanese monk circle, it is an unspoken rule that swordsmanship takes the lead.
