Chapter 816 Crystal, Shuisui Capital

While his master was recovering, the dedicated old man had used his extra-body army to search the underground area of ​​Shuisui Kingdom.

The situation inside the stone tower leading to the underground was different. Even though the stone tower was guarded by Takemikata and a group of Numagozen, there was no "living being" in the huge underground world.

Kamiyagawa: "We didn't find any 'living things', nor did we find the tombs of the emperors of all generations?"

"Aba!" The little old man nodded truthfully.

Just as the scouts said, no monsters, no human grass, and no gods were seen underground in the country of Shuisui.

To be more precise, no "living gods" were seen.

Under the guidance of the little old man, Kamiya River and Yatagarasu trekked all the way to the depths of the underground forest.

This is indeed different from the others and is worth noting.

Apart from those twisted, dark trees, there were many pyroxene stones standing in the center of the woods. These strange stones, like some kind of crystal, were grayish white, turbid throughout, and flashed a bleak light.

As we walked along, we could see these pyroxene crystals appearing more and more frequently. The largest ones were three or four meters high, standing out from the crowd.

It is also because of the existence of these gray-white crystals that the center of the forest is much brighter than other areas.

"Aba Aba!"

As they were approaching their destination, the little old man quickened his pace.

There was an open space in front of them. A giant crystal that was nearly ten meters long and could not be hugged by seven or eight adult men stood upright on the open space. Its bottom was deeply rooted in unknown rocks, and the whole was stable and solemn.

The luster of this crystal is brighter than the others, but because the crystal itself is not transparent and is even a bit turbid, the light spots and textures on its surface and inside appear ambiguous and unclear, making it impossible to clearly see the true structure inside the crystal.

"This crystal..."

Kamiya focused his eyes and observed carefully.

Using his otherworldly visual abilities, he saw that there seemed to be something in the center of the huge crystal.

It looks like the outline of a curled up human figure, and you can even vaguely make out some clothing accessories.

"There seems to be a woman inside."

Kamiyakawa immediately thought of a description he had seen on the top of the stone tower before -

[The thirteenth emperor, Yanbo Lianwu, rebuilt the imperial mausoleum and longevity palace, and enshrined the goddess of longevity, Iwanagahime, in it, in order to pray for a long life and a long-lasting dynasty.]

"Is the person inside this crystal Chang Pan Ji? Did Yan Bo Lianwu seal her into the crystal?"

Although I have such a guess in my mind, I can't verify it.

I don’t know if it’s because of the huge crystal stone that blocks the view, but Kamiya Kawa couldn’t sense any obvious divine presence in the center of the forest.

He had a feeling that even if the woman sealed in the crystal was really the God of Eternity, Chang Pan Ji, she was definitely not still alive.

"Aba whined."

The little old man began to explain the situation of the huge crystal again.

One of his incarnations found this place four days ago and has been guarding here ever since.

Considering that there must be something strange in this place, the little old man did not act rashly, but just guarded here the whole time, hoping that the matter here could be decided by the master himself. During the time when the scout was guarding here, the huge crystal did not show any abnormality.

After standing in front of the huge crystal column and observing it for a while, Kamiyagawa stared with bated breath, then tentatively raised his hand to touch the surface of the crystal.

The touch transmitted back from the fingertips was hard but cold, but that was all, no noteworthy changes occurred.

"If the woman in the crystal is really Chang Pan Ji... then what is the meaning of sealing her in this crystal?"

At this point, Kamiya suddenly had a bold idea. He reached into the [Mirage Bag·Modified] hanging around his waist.

After conquering the Sea Kingdom, the [Mirage Bag] was upgraded and transformed, mainly by incorporating the power of Night Food into it. Because the power of Night Food enveloped the inside of the small bag, the props stored inside would no longer leak out.

The privacy is very good, which is equivalent to there being a space inside the bag that is completely independent from the outside world.

Correspondingly, if the props stored inside the bag can "interact" with the external environment or other objects, they must be taken out.

What Kamiyakawa took out from the [Mirage Bag] were several broken spines, which were emerald green in color and carried surging growth power.

These are the bones of Konohana Sakuyahime.

I bought it after visiting Aokigahara Forest a few years ago.

The "quality" of Konohana Sakuyahime's divine bones themselves is not as complete as those divine bones collected and used by Kamiyagawa later, and so far no wild god that matches this skeleton has been cultivated under his command.

And logically speaking, even if this relatively damaged divine bone is to be used, it should be given to some "non-main force" subordinates.

The upper limit may be used to allow suitable wild gods to break through the threshold of gods. If you want to further cultivate a top god in the future, it may be difficult to do so.

In short, this divine skeleton has been kept at the bottom of the box since I got it.

"According to mythology, Nagaiwa-hime represents eternity. And her sister Konohana Sakuyahime represents prosperity... The divinity of this pair of goddess sisters is directly related to the fate of the Awahara Kingdom..."

Thinking of this, Kamiyagawa raised the green broken skeleton of the god in his hand.

The huge crystal pillar in front of him really changed because of the appearance of the skeleton of Konohana Sakuyahime. The originally bleak light on the pillar became brighter.

Puff——Puff——

Some emerald green vines and branches broke out of the charred black soil and grew at a very fast speed. Not only around Shen Guchuan, but also in the dark forest, there were plant sprouts growing everywhere.

All of a sudden, the dead silent underground forest suddenly became full of life, with everything flourishing.

Green vines spread out onto the crystal pillar, and branches and leaves stretched out to wrap around it. The originally pale white glow of the crystal was now mixed with emerald green.

The situation in the surrounding areas is the same.

The surrounding crystals were also covered with green plants, the light became stronger, and the glow reflected by all the crystals seemed to be absorbed by the huge crystal in the center.

The grayish-white crystal appears a bit more translucent, as white and green light travels and refracts inside the crystal, forming dreamy beams of light. Because the angle of the light changes slightly, the entire crystal presents a completely different appearance.

The woman sealed in the crystal finally became clearer.

Although the woman's face is still not visible, vivid details of her gorgeous dress can be seen, and her outlines are lifelike.

Kamiya seemed to see the woman in the crystal twitch violently.

Then, white and green light burst out from the crystal column, like an invisible, huge, soft hand caressing the central area of ​​the woods.

Kamiyagawa and his group were also enveloped by this strange glow.

……

The soft light in front of him faded away, and the floating skeleton of Konohana Sakuyahime fell back into Kamiyagawa's palm.

He looked around and found that the crystal pillar that seemed to be wrapped around Chang Panji and the underground forest that had just changed from dark to emerald green were gone. Looking up, he could see the bright sky and sunlight.

"It seems that it has 'left' the underground and entered a new environment."

Hey.

The phone in my pocket vibrated.

I took it out and saw that it was a new text prompt from "Kwaidan Monogatari". The content was very simple, with only a brief introduction to the place name -

[Mizuho Capital]

"Kamiya...sir, where are we now?" The Yatagarasu beside her shook her heavy black hood, probably also observing the surroundings. Her voice was very calm, without much fluctuation due to the sudden change in the environment.

"It seems to be the capital of Mizuho."

The surrounding environment really looked like an ancient city, with palaces, towers, fortified city walls, and stone streets connecting to each other. However, there was not a single person in sight. On the streets and the earth, stone, and wooden beams of the buildings, one could still see large and small gray-white crystals inlaid and growing.

"It's those crystals again. There are some here too. They are the same as the one that sealed Chang Panji."

Kamiya is now basically certain that the person sealed in the huge crystal pillar he just saw is Princess Changpan.

After all, those crystals will be "activated" because of the appearance of the skeleton of Konohana Sakaya Hime.

Combined with the information given in "Kwaidanmonogatari", the current location is the capital of Mizuho Province.

"In the Awihara Mizuho Kingdom outside, no ruins of the city were found, either above ground or underground, nor were the tombs of the emperors found... It seems that what we are looking for should be here."

"The 13th Emperor of the Tensun lineage, Hikoha Ryobu, hoped that the Awihara Kingdom he ruled would last forever, and therefore he worshipped Nagaiwa-hime. And what he did was, could it be that he sealed the entire capital into Nagaiwa-hime's body in some way... Is it so long-lasting?"

"But what is the purpose of such extreme behavior?"

Kamiyagawa vaguely guessed a possibility.

"Moreover, the elder sister of the pair of goddess sisters, the goddess Nagaiwahime, who symbolizes eternity, serves as the 'lock' of the capital of Mizuho. And part of the divine skeleton of Konohana Sakuyahime, who represents prosperity, seems to serve as the 'key' to unlock it..."

This is a bit like hell.

After confirming the current area, Kamiya put away the bones of Konohana Sakuyahime and briefly checked his own condition.

The Yatagarasu and the little old man who were traveling with him were by his side.

The shikigami also have a very clear connection with him and can appear at any time.

The devil's hammer is full of energy.

Our army is strong and powerful!

Once, before the Tenson descended on Awihara, Takemikame, the Thunder God sent by the old Takama-ga-hara forces, brought only one messenger god, Amatori Funakami, and wiped out the resistance of Awihara, laying the foundation for the subsequent Tenson to take over the kingdom of gods on earth.

And now, Kamiyagawa, the leader of the New Takama-ga-hara forces, has also arrived at the capital of Awihara Mizuho Province, with only the "messenger god" Yatagarasu accompanying him.

If the grandson of heaven can go, I can go too.

It's the law of reincarnation.

What's more, Takemikata, the once most powerful war god of the Awihara faction, has now turned into a divine skeleton lying in the [Mirage Bag] of Kamiya River.

"Come on, old man, Yatagarasu. Let's see what's in Awihara Mizuho's capital."

……

Walk along the smooth tiled street.

The pavilions and houses on both sides of the road are scattered around. Although old, the architectural details are intricately carved and the overall appearance is very well preserved, giving people the feeling that someone was still living here yesterday.

Going further, the gray-white crystals on the street became more numerous and larger in size.

Although not as huge as the crystal pillar seen before, gray-white crystal pillars as tall as a person began to appear.

Kamiya River and Yatagarasu saw the outlines of human figures in these larger stone pillars, which were also "people" sealed in the crystals. There were old and young, men and women. Because these crystals were relatively small, the people sealed in them could be seen more clearly.

The vast majority of these "people" are no different from humans.

But there are also a few that have characteristics of monsters, such as long horns, long tails, long scales, etc.

“So these are actually human grass.”

The passage of time seems unable to affect this capital hidden in the body of the goddess, whether it is the buildings or the residents here.

It seems like eternity here.

Dead eternity.

Walking among the crystal stones, Kamiya Kawa could feel more and more that although the entire Mizuho Kingdom was dead silent, something here seemed to be malicious towards him as an outsider, and this malice was becoming increasingly apparent as he explored deeper.

Another walk.

"Abba!"

The little old man gave a warning.

At the street corner far ahead, Kamiyagawa saw a blurry figure.

They are not human grass sealed in those crystals, but "living things" that can move freely.

It should be a man, wearing a dark, wide robe. The man is short, with a crown on his head, which is about 40 centimeters long when it stands up.

Through such attire, Kamiyagawa vaguely judged the other party's identity. The peculiar style of the crown should be a standing crown, which represents the highest authority in Japan.

"Is that... a certain human emperor?"

The man suspected to be the Human Emperor staggered, seemingly seriously injured, his pale face stained with dried blood.

There was a large gash in his abdomen, but he ignored the intestines flowing out of the wound. He just limped and continued to approach Shen Gu and others, his speed getting faster and faster, and finally he was almost running wildly.

While running, the man suddenly looked up.

His rotten head shook continuously due to the violent movement, and half of the shriveled eyeball embedded in the empty eye socket fell to the ground with a plop.

Swish!Swish!

Kamiya doesn't even need to say anything.

The Yatagarasu that followed closely behind him flashed and turned into a dark shadow. Her thick black robe fluttered without wind, and a sickle appeared in her left and right hands.

The two sickles were of different styles, but both were gleaming with cold light. One of the sickle blades was extremely wide and large, while the other was extremely narrow and long, with one blade on each side, like a soaring crow. A spooky ghostly aura and a strong wind spiraled up from the two sickle blades! (End of this chapter)
