Unshima Shrine has been established for more than a thousand years, but Sakagami Village at the foot of the mountain has always had a population of dozens of households. It's not that Sakagami Village is unwilling to expand, but that the entire Sakagami Village has been cursed since its ancestors sealed the demon god.
Every baby born feeds on blood. She would vomit just after drinking milk.
As he grows up, he naturally has the ability to see at night. Although he longs for light psychologically, he physically hates the daytime. Because of the curse, Sakagami Village has been closed off. And the entire curse cannot be told to outsiders, otherwise as long as he opens his mouth, the blood in his body will flow backwards and die, which is extremely terrifying.
This strange phenomenon is like the Sword of Damocles hanging overhead. The mountain-like pressure has been crushing generations of people in Sakagami Village.
It was not until modern times that the people of Sakagami Village finally began to resist. In other words, this is not the first time they have resisted, but several times or dozens of times.
For more than a thousand years, Sakagami Village has actually resisted for a long time. But they were all persuaded by the onmyojis and witches of Unshima Shrine.
However, passed down from generation to generation, the onmyoji and shrine maidens of Unshima Shrine have long forgotten their original intentions. This is not because the onmyoji and shrine maidens of Unshima Shrine have any different intentions, but because they are threatened and bewitched by the devil.
The first onmyoji who was in charge of Unshima Shrine was the most powerful onmyoji in Sakagami Village, but the inheritance of cultivation will eventually be broken. The onmyoji and shrine maidens of Unshima Shrine are all selected by Sakagami Village, but Sakagami Village, which has maintained a population of dozens of households, only has about 200 people at most!
In an era when spiritual energy was thin, it was extremely difficult for more than two hundred people to find a person with cultivation qualifications. But even if they don't have the qualifications to practice, each generation of Onmyoji at Unshima Shrine will continue to select people in the village to pass on when their birthdays are approaching. This inheritance, in addition to ensuring the continuous practice of cultivation, also allows the inherited Onmyoji to know that Unshima Shrine suppresses demons.
When suppressing, there is no need for the Onmyoji to do anything, as long as there is no abnormality in the seal every day. Because what seals the Demon God is the Jade of the Four Souls, which possesses the purest power in the world.
The inherited shikigami of Unshima Shrine has been guarding Unshima Shrine. It's just that if the Onmyoji is just an ordinary person, then the inherited shikigami will remain asleep until an onmyoji who can practice appears, and the inherited shikigami can be activated.
So when Unshima Shrine was controlled by onmyojis who had no strength and were no different from ordinary people, these onmyojis and shrine maidens had been living in Unshima Shrine and had to check the seal status every day. Naturally, they were influenced by the devil subtly. . In addition, it is difficult to find onmyojis who can practice, so Yundao Shrine has been controlled by ordinary onmyojis and witches for most of the past thousand years, and these ordinary people have long been controlled by Bewitched and bewildered.
But even if it is bewitched, it will not affect the seal.
The curse of Unshima Shrine has turned the people of Sakagami Village into evil beings themselves. Therefore, the Four Souls Jade also has a very powerful curbing effect on the people of Sakagami Village.
But even so, the Four Souls Jade was destroyed a year ago.
After being sealed for so long, the demon was in a deep sleep most of the time. After the Shikon Tama was destroyed, he parasitized Otome Sakagami. During this year of school, Otome Sakagami attended classes during the day and drank blood around Tokyo at night. And she is very cautious. Every time she sucks the blood of homeless people, no one cares about these homeless people even if they die.
As for the fact that she finally sucked her boyfriend Keiichi Koizumi, it was also because she wanted to use the energy in the Shikon Jade to regain her strength when she returned to the village, and she would not go to school again.
But now the Shikon Jade has obviously been taken away by Kimura Kazuki, and judging from the situation, these people are not at Yundao Shrine, and there is no atmosphere in the village. Have you already gone back
Otome Sakagami couldn't help but think deeply. If she came to investigate Unshima Shrine, got the Shikon Jade, and learned that the devil had destroyed the seal, she would probably leave, right
Sakagami Otome's face looked uncertain.
Without the huge energy inside the Four Souls Jade, it would be very slow for her to recover.
Just as Sakagami Otome was thinking, she was controlling the puppet and saw a middle-aged man holding an umbrella up the mountain. Seeing this, Sakagami Otome's heart moved. She knew this man, he was the son of the mayor of Sakagami Village.
The other party went up the mountain in broad daylight, obviously wanting to confirm whether Mucun Kazuki and others were still there.
Only the people in the village know about the curse in Sakagami Village. They are preparing to hold a ceremony to lift the curse recently, so outsiders cannot be allowed to be present. So this is why Grandma Sakagami revealed the Shikon Jade, in order to let Kimura Kazuki and others get the Shikon Jade and then leave quickly.
Otome Sakagami, who was hiding behind a tree, looked at the middle-aged man, who looked pale at this time. August is now the hottest season. Even if it is morning, the scorching sun is enough to scorch people. Ordinary people would not go out at such a time, let alone the people of Sakagami Village. The scorching sun is the strongest poison to the people of Sakagami Village. Even with an umbrella, the heat makes middle-aged people feel as if they are about to evaporate.
His body was shaky, and he gritted his teeth and hurried towards Undao Shrine, cursing Kimura Kazuki and others in his heart. It was a coincidence that these people came to Sakagami Village at this time. At the critical moment when the curse was about to be removed, they were simply poisonous.
As he was rushing towards Unshima Shrine, he obviously didn't notice Sakagami Otome approaching behind him.
The next moment, the middle-aged man's body was shaken. He lowered his head and looked at a rough arm directly piercing his body. He subconsciously pressed this hand with both hands. His whole body began to tremble. When the sun umbrella on his finger fell to the ground, the middle-aged man was covered in the scorching sun. He only had time to turn his head and look behind him, and then he was illuminated by the scorching sun, making him feel uncomfortable all over. I want to avoid this sunshine.
"Uncle Zhicheng..."
For a moment, the middle-aged man looked at the puppet controlled by Sakagami Otome and spoke in disbelief. The next second, the middle-aged man felt his neck being bitten. He opened his mouth and was about to scream, but his mouth was suddenly covered. In the intense pain, after a moment, the middle-aged man's entire body was turned into ashes.
Sakagami Otome looked at this scene indifferently. She frowned and spat out a mouthful of blood, "This blood really stinks."
Uncle Zhicheng, as the middle-aged people call him, is the puppet she controls.
The puppet's full name is Naoshige Sakagami, he was the previous and last Onmyoji of Unshima Shrine. As the onmyoji of Undao Shrine, Naoshige Sakagami naturally cannot let the villagers of Sakagami Village destroy the seal, but the villagers of Sakagami Village have obviously been driven crazy and cannot live a normal life. Let the villagers know that if this continues, their children will None of the descendants will be able to get ahead.
Plus this is modern society, not ancient times. Sakagami Village will be exposed sooner or later. If the curse cannot be lifted, it is better to destroy the village and save future generations from suffering.
Breaking the curse is the will of the entire Sakagami Village.
However, Naoshige Sakagami wanted to abide by the rules of Unshima Shrine, so in the end he had to be sacrificed.
