Infinite Reincarnation: I am the Monster.

Chapter 91: The Child of Destiny (3K First Update)
The so-called "Taishan Fujun Sacrifice" should refer to a special ritual in China's native natural mythology.

The God of Mount Tai, Emperor Dongyue, holds a very high position in Taoist mythology.

The original intention of the Taishan Lord Sacrifice is to pray sincerely to the Emperor of Mount Tai, exchanging one's own life for the return of the life of the deceased.

In the era when Yama Luo had not yet appeared in faith, the underworld was also under the jurisdiction of the Emperor of Mount Tai in the East.

This Yin-Yang Taoism and even Taoist culture were introduced to Japan along with the influence of the ancient empire.

The name of "Taishan Fujun Festival" also appeared in Japan's Yin-Yang religion.

But Bai Cangshu also knew that in this world of infinite reincarnation, which was mostly an anime world, the [Taishan Lord Festival] was most likely not the same as in the Eastern mythology.

There is an animation called "Tokyo Ravens", which also involves such a ritual at the core of the story.

Bai Cangshu had never seen this kind of unpopular niche work before, but recently he had been training with Xiao Ning for a long time and it was too boring, so he started watching some unpopular anime works. He didn't expect to come across it at this time.

"How do you know I came here to ask about this?"

Bai Cangshu did not deny it. Instead, he continued the conversation according to the Lord God's words. He had vaguely realized the problem.

The other party calls himself God's messenger. Is it because he once established a huge reputation in the Demon Slayer world, or because of the curse placed on him by the Inari god?
The old priest felt the clear aura of Inari God on the other person. There was no doubt that this was a true messenger of God, closer to Inari God than the one who had come before.

"In fact, half a year ago, a divine messenger came and asked about the ritual of the Taishan Prefecture Lord Ceremony."

"That is the secret of the Tsuchimikado clan. They used it once after the war that swept the world, but it caused great damage to their own family and even Japan. It is not an exaggeration to say that it shook the country's destiny."

"I could only introduce the envoy to the Tsuchimikado family. Later, that incident happened..."

The old god lowered his head. He felt that the [Taishan Lord Sacrifice] was like a curse.

But in my heart I still hope that the messenger of God will come to fix everything.

This kind of thing is not something that can be solved by the current world of sorcery.

In other words, in his opinion, since the end of the mysterious heyday of the Heian period, human magicians would never be able to solve this problem without the help of the power of the gods.

Bai Cangshu obtained some important information and had a clearer understanding of the current situation in the world.

The Tsuchimikado clan is the descendant of the famous Onmyoji Abe Haruaki of the Heian period. In the story of Tokyo Ravens, it is indeed mentioned that the patriarch of the Tsuchimikado clan, the Onmyoji Tsuchimikado Yoko, once launched the Taizan Fujun Festival after the end of that sinful war of aggression.

But the result was a terrible spiritual disaster that broke out in Tokyo.

Although in the story of "Tokyo Ravens", Ye Guang's purpose in launching the Taishan Mansion Lord Festival was to reincarnate into a descendant of his clan, but there is no guarantee what he wanted to do in the current world.

The many worlds in the reincarnation space seem to be connected to some extent in terms of worldview, but because of the existence of various branching world lines, you cannot guarantee where the other world lines in these worlds will go exactly.

"One last question, Lord God, what are the characteristics of the previous divine messenger you mentioned?"

The old God Lord raised his head and glanced at Bai Cangshu. It seemed that because of Bai Cangshu's question, he noticed that he should look at the appearance of the God's messenger, not just the glow.

"I didn't look closely, but that gentleman was wearing a white cloak and exuded a special smell."

What Bai Cangshu actually wanted to know was not what the reincarnationist looked like. The reincarnationist in the eyes of the plot characters would be completely different from the appearance seen by other reincarnationists because there was no influence of the incarnation.

Appearance is meaningless, but certain characteristics of temperament and habits are quite useful.

"Special taste, what kind of taste do you mean specifically?"

The old god thought for a moment, then turned his head to look at the woods below the mountain and said:

"It's like wherever he goes, the sun will shine on him, and on hot days, he will get a breeze, that special smell that will unconsciously attract other people's attention."

"In the eyes of ordinary people, he might be regarded as the son of destiny."

The old god's description was poetic, but Bai Cangshu had a frown on his face.

This description doesn't sound like a simple ability, but more like a special characteristic that clearly exceeds the dimension of ordinary power.

Moreover, the description of "Child of Destiny" could not help but make Bai Cangshu think of the special "cards" mentioned by the professor - the twelve heavenly stems, which were given to the destined person.

Tsk, this world is becoming more and more interesting.

Bai Cangshu was also pointed out by the old god to the location of the contemporary Tokugawa clan. When the sun was setting, he came to this mansion nestled among the mountains and forests.

As the direct descendants of Abe Haruaki, the Tsuchimikado clan almost represents the highest level of Japanese Onmyoji.

But at this moment, the house was quite deserted.

When Bai Cangshu arrived, there was no one guarding the mountain, nor anyone to inform him. He just came to the center of the Tsuchimikado clan's territory in a dignified manner and met the white-haired current head of the Tsuchimikado family, [Tsuchimikado Ochiai].

By the way, I also saw the long-haired man wearing a black cassock standing behind Tsuchimikado Ochiai.

Strong murderous intent and hostility instantly surrounded Bai Cangshu, and a cold and gloomy aura, like a swamp, surrounded Bai Cangshu.

Bai Cangshu looked back and saw a huge bird-shaped curse spirit blocking the way to the mountain gate where he came from.

Outside the courtyard wall, a plump female curse spirit with its face completely covered was also floating on the top of the wall.

"Master Tsuchimikado, your clan's land doesn't seem as deserted as you said. Another guest has arrived."

Tsuchimikado Ochiai looked up and sized up Bai Cangshu. Just as he was about to say that he didn't know him, he suddenly saw the emblem in the other's hand.

"This... this person seems to be someone who has done a favor to our Tohno clan. Perhaps he is a descendant." He stood up and bowed to Bai Cangshu with difficulty.

"My distinguished guest, our Tsuchimikado clan will always remember any benefactor who has helped us."

He knew that kind of emblem was only awarded by the family and other Onmyoji, Shinto and other forces during the Taisho era to those who provided outstanding help to them.

"If you had come here with this emblem in your hand in the past, we would have given you what you wanted. But now..."

He looked at his dilapidated house and the empty clan land with a sad face.

Geto Xiayou waved his hand, and the special-grade cursed spirit Tamamonomae slowly disappeared. He looked at Bai Cangshu curiously, and felt that the eyes and posture of the person in front of him reminded him vaguely of someone.

The kind of mouth that always seems to be teasing, and the expression of slightly tilting back and looking at people with the lower eyelid.

Tsk, what an arrogant look.

Bai Cangshu also recognized Xia Youjie, and thought that this so-called savior was not really a fool. He actually found the core of the real problem of the [City of Death].

"You misunderstood, Tsuchimikado. I'm not here to ask you for anything. I just want to ask you something."

"Then who did you give the [Taishan Mansion Lord Ceremony] to?"

Geto Suguru's expression changed slightly. He indeed realized that the power that caused Gojo Satoru's death and even turned the entire Tokyo into a dead silent place was not a curse, but Yin-Yang magic.

Moreover, suspicion was also placed on the traditional powerful families who had lost their power due to the prevalence of sorcery.

But this man, whose cursed power was swirling like a scarlet flame, actually spoke out the name.

"Taishan Lord's Festival?"

"Is that the true nature of that technique?"

A huge black snake appeared from the shadows and in just a moment, it entangled Tsuchimikado Ochiai.

This is an era of sorcery. As times change and mysterious powers fade away, things like Yin-Yang magic can no longer compare to the power of sorcery that is rooted in human emotions and fears.

Mysteries will fade, but human emotions and fears will grow as civilization develops.

Geto Xiayou narrowed his eyes into a dangerous arc.

Bai Cangshu looked at Xia Youjie and saw that the distance between him and him was only about seven meters.

He took a step forward.

"Mr. Sorcerer, you'd better not do anything unnecessary before I get the answer."

"I am very dangerous."

The corners of his mouth curled up into that same dangerous smile.

Geto Xiayou glanced at the strange sorcerer whose cursed power was not very outstanding, and did not take the other party's threat seriously.

Although the nature of the opponent's cursed power does look good, it is ultimately just the cursed power of an ordinary sorcerer.

He stretched out his hands and grabbed Tsuchimikado Ochiai's neck. The old head of the Tsuchimikado family was so weak that he whimpered when he was lifted up.

Xia Youjie looked at Bai Cangshu leisurely, and just as he was about to speak, he saw the other party raise his left foot and stomped down violently.

boom!
The ground shook violently, and Geto Xia's eyes changed, and he had lost all trace of the other person in his pupils.

This movement, this speed, reminded him of something not so pleasant.

Geto Suguru suddenly dropped Tsuchimikado Ochiai, and several first-level cursed spirits that looked like giant black snakes also crawled towards his back at the same time.

Many people actually have misunderstandings about Geto Suguru, thinking that he is the type who relies on cursed spirits to fight.

But in fact, Geto Suguru's physical skills are very powerful. In terms of physical ability alone, Gojo Satoru is not as good as him.

When a strong wind blew towards him from behind, he turned around instantly, circulated the magic power, and punched out.

As expected, Bai Cangshu appeared behind Geto Suguru in an instant. He had no reaction to Tsuchimikado Ochiai who was thrown to the ground. Geto Suguru threw a punch filled with strong cursed power, and Bai Cangshu also tilted his head slightly.

puff!
Xia Yujie felt a pain in his throat, and his throat was instantly hit by a knife.

The sound of breaking cartilage was heard before he realized what had happened.

This guy……

The opponent instantly appeared behind him, and faced with his punch, the opponent did not slow down at all, but just tilted his head and dodged his punch with the most precise amplitude, and then slashed his throat with a knife the moment he stepped past him.

There was no unnecessary movement, just the most appropriate speed and strength to knock him down with one blow.

When Xia Youjie fell down, the three pitch-black snake spirits had just arrived in front of Bai Cangshu.

The same cursed power appeared on Bai Cangshu's hands. He looked down at Xia Youjie and said,

"See, I told you I'm dangerous."
