"Mr. Spirit King's perception is indeed sharp."

A clear and mellow voice sounded in the wind, and the petals and leaves in the sky fell on the shoulders under the wind's blowing, and were quickly blown away by the wind. Among the fluttering leaves was a plain white long dress and a bright red long skirt.

Li Re listened to the man talking and then looked at her steadily. The figure revealed between the moonlight falling through the shade of the trees and the flowing light and shadow of the fireworks was undoubtedly that of a girl. Her delicate face, pure and cold, was visible under her thick dark red hair.

She was wearing a white top and a red skirt. The white top was wrapped tightly around her full body, and the high hem of the skirt also bound her slender waist tightly, outlining the white and round curve upwards, while the skirt swayed and her hips were slightly open downwards. A pair of beautiful legs in white socks and wooden clogs stretched out from the bottom and landed steadily on the ground covered with flowers and leaves.

This kind of dress, just as Li Re said, is the dress only worn by Japanese shrine maidens.

Li Re raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?"

Although he didn't know the other party's specific identity, he could tell at a glance that this 'witch' was also a player - and at an extremely high level, close to silver, the top level of bronze.

Her arrival was very abrupt, but as said, Li Re could not hide it. Li Re was also very clear that with his current fame, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not be discovered by anyone.

So he knew very well that the appearance of this witch was not a chance encounter.

She came here just for me!

Although there is a huge gap between bronze and silver, Li Re is still willing to contact the top bronze players who have the opportunity to be promoted to silver - what if the other party is promoted to silver?

Wouldn't that give him a chance to pose a threat to himself?

Not to mention.

In Li Re's perception, apart from being a top bronze player, this 'witch' also seemed to possess an extremely strong aura of spiritual power!

"Have."

In response to Li Re's question, the obviously well-prepared shrine maiden replied concisely and affirmatively: "Asamamiya Kamiko, this is my name."

"That doesn't sound like a name, but more like a profession." Li Re responded: "Also, you speak Chinese well."

"I learned it specifically for this trip."

The witch with a cold expression slightly opened her red lips. She raised her head slightly and looked at the young man standing on the threshold. Her wide sleeves flowed like clouds in the wind, and the light and shadow of the moon and fire intertwined with each other, exuding a saint-like temperament.

She spoke like a saint.

She responded like a saint: "That is indeed my name, and also my position."

"I am the son of God of the Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine on Mount Fuji in Japan, also known as the 'Palace Priest'."

Then Li Re remembered.

He himself didn't know much about the Japanese shrine, but after being promoted to Silver, his memory was greatly improved. Even if it was information that he had obtained inadvertently in the past, as long as he needed it, he could remember it clearly as if he had heard it with his own ears.

"Sengen Taisha is the source of the worship of Mount Fuji, which is revered as the sacred mountain of Japan. It is the main shrine dedicated to the goddess of all mountains and rivers in Japan, the 'Princess of Sakura' Konohana Sakiyahime."

He continued his story, "To be the chief priest in a shrine like this, he must be a very important person, right?"

"Mr. Soul King is very knowledgeable. He can even remember a small shrine like ours so clearly."

Asamamiya Kamiko had a calm expression.

"In the past, she was indeed not that prominent. Princess Sakura was far inferior to great gods like Amaterasu and Inari." Li Re said, "But the great man I'm referring to is not the chief priest of Sengen Shrine, but you."

"The second of the three top players on the Japanese player rankings, Her Excellency the Goddess among 'General', 'Goddess' and 'Sword Saint'." This was what he really remembered.

What he remembered was never a shrine.

It’s the ranking list of players from different countries!

"I am unworthy of the title of 'Goddess', let alone calling her that in front of the 'Spirit King'."

Li Reyue said.

Although this 'Asamamiya Miko' had no expression on his face, his attitude became more and more humble!

So Li Re sighed and said, "Forget it, such polite dialogue is boring... Let's get straight to the point!"

"What are you here for?"

"You didn't come all the way from Japan just to say hello to me, did you?"

"Although I am now considered the top-ranked psychic player in reality, I don't have any feelings towards other psychic players... Forget about paying homage to them."

Asamamiya Kamiko was slightly silent in the face of such a conversation.

She thought that this 'Spirit King' was indeed as unscrupulous and reckless as the rumors said.

Of course, she didn't come here just to pay homage to the mountain.

Even though Li Re is indeed ahead of him now... However, strictly speaking, he is still his predecessor, a senior player who was one of the first to join the park in reality and has gone through two years of trials and tribulations.

So she straightened her expression.

He spoke very seriously and stated his purpose.

"On behalf of Sengen Taisha, I would like to invite Mr. Reiou to join us at Sengen Shrine - to become the 'priest', the true master of the shrine, above the chief priest."

"Uh-huh!?"

Li Re blinked and suddenly felt like he might have heard it wrongly.

What is this person here for?

Invite yourself to be their boss?

Chapter 365: The Ghost Following Behind, Special Occupation

Even looking at the other party's reaction after this conversation, Li Re could already guess that this 'Son of the Asama Palace' had no intention of becoming his enemy - thinking carefully, this was natural. At least for now, there was no silver-level player in the entire East Japan, so how could they dare to provoke Da Xia, which had two silver players even though Li Re was not a newcomer? They dared not act recklessly in Da Xia.

But Li Re was still a little surprised by what the witch said.

"Is this some kind of honey trap?"

He spoke jokingly, expressing his confusion: "The priest is above the chief priest. This position sounds a bit scary to me!"

"The priest is the head of the shrine, also known as the 'present-day god'." Seeing that Li Re seemed a little confused about this position, the priest of Asama Shrine said calmly: "Although this position is only held by the first shrine 'Ise Shrine' in the whole of Japan, if Mr. Lingwang can come to our Asama Shrine, we, the Asama Shrine of the Three Thousand Shrines, will definitely respect you as the 'priest'."

There are three thousand shrines, large and small, with at least tens of thousands of clergy.

If it was before, Li Re might not have thought too much about it, but he had just confirmed the fact that Paradise had come in ancient times, and the myths and legends in reality might be the footprints left by ancient players.

Hearing it now, I can't help but be surprised.

After all, it would be common sense to infer that if these clergymen who live day and night with the footprints of ancient mythological professional players who are called gods are chosen by Paradise to become players, they will most likely have supernatural or mythological professions.

"This is truly a rare force. Even I am a little afraid of it!" he commented.

Having said that, there wasn't a trace of excitement on his face, nor was there the slightest fear... The petals and leaves were flying and falling more frequently in the evening breeze, and the noise coming from the bustling area of ​​the ancient city behind him seemed to be surging more and more. The fireworks blooming in the sky were stacked one layer on top of the other, like an endless sea of ​​blooming flowers.

The world suddenly became bright.

However, the door of the nearby ancient house suddenly became quiet.

As Li Re's calm comments came down.

Asamiya Kamiko raised her dark red eyes and looked into his.

The "goddess" who came all the way from Japan just to find Li Re also suddenly froze.

But not because of his words.

It wasn't because of his expression.

It was because of the dark green flames flowing from the depths of his eyes, and the ghostly shadow emerging from the depths of the sea of ​​fire.

The ghost's shadow was not in his eyes.

But behind you!

"Sir, you..."

Asamamiya Kamiko raised her eyes and her eyelashes suddenly trembled, and her calm eyes finally flashed a look of surprise.

"Surprised, aren't you?"

Standing in front of him, on the steps and at the threshold of the courtyard, Li Re sighed and grinned, the fire in his eyes still burning, and it seemed as if a third eye had faintly opened between his eyebrows... The psychic eye opened by the Dharma Image is opened through the flesh as the medium, gazing at the reality from a high dimension.

To fuse the 'Law of Heaven and Earth', which is essentially the projection of one's own existence in a higher dimension and then re-refracted into reality, with oneself is the way of using the power representing the concept of 'heaven and earth'. After the qualitative change in the life level, Li Re can also fuse only a part of the law image, thereby achieving the effect of using the power of the law image in the manner of an ordinary person.

Under this,

The world we see has naturally changed.

The witch in front of him was still wearing white and red, looking cool and holy.

But behind her, there seemed to be a hideous and twisted monster with bared fangs and claws, ready to devour her at any time!

Holy and evil, cold and hideous... like two sides of the same coin, or more like positive and negative sides.

Li Re's smile upon seeing this scene seemed not unexpected.

As expected, he thought to himself, "As expected."

"I was still wondering, as the top player in a country, a dignified 'goddess' of the Shinto lineage, why would you come all the way to Jiangcheng just to make me your immediate superior. Now it seems... there really is no such good thing as pie in the sky in this world." He looked at the surprised Asamamiya Kamiko, and his voice was mixed with the wind and spread: "Although you pretended very well, you can't cover up the facts no matter what - Miss Asamamiya Kamiko."

"You're losing control." His tone was calm and natural.

But with every word he spoke, the expression of the witch standing under the tree seemed to change a little... Her temperament was still cold and sacred, as if she was a celestial being walking on earth, but her solemn eyes also represented the thoughts that were touched by Li Re.

She was literally losing control.

As a player, she was already extremely talented - she was able to reach the limit of the bronze level with a 'psychic' profession, and was only one Heavenly Heart and one trial away from the silver level. This was rare in the world, or even in the entire paradise.

However, this is already the limit.

She is on the verge of losing control of her supernatural powers!

The ghost that Li Re saw was the 'ghost' in her body that was about to get out of control - it was the embodiment of the supernatural power in her body, and it was also another side of herself that appeared under the influence of the supernatural power!

"You are...right."

So after a moment of silence and solemnity, facing Li Re's casual exposure, Asamamiya Kamiko finally could not deny nor continue to pretend and nodded. Her voice was cold and clear, but compared with the previous one, it was a little more helpless: "I have reached my limit."

"If I can't go any further, I'll soon lose control, but with supernatural powers going one step further... I have no confidence at all."

"That's why you plan to bring me in as external aid. In case something really happens to you, you can protect your Sengen Shrine lineage and prevent it from being swallowed up by other pantheons?" Li Re stated the conclusion he finally came to - one of them.

"That's the reason." Asama-no-Miyako still didn't deny it. "In the past two years, because of my presence, the power of Asama Shrine has grown rapidly. It is currently catching up with the 'Inari Shrine' in Japan. But because of its rapid development, Asama Shrine has become a thorn in the eyes of other forces. If I'm not here, there will definitely be a counterattack from other gods and shrines."

“This is something I can’t bear to see.”

"Is this the reason... Then it seems that there must be other reasons!" Li Re spread his hands and changed the topic that he was not interested in.

Not to mention the open and covert struggles between forces in other countries, he was too lazy to even pay attention to the struggles within Daxia itself, let alone the disputes between the forces of the Japanese shrines.

But he also understood that if it was just this, this 'Son of God' would not have come all the way to find him... There are local strongmen in Japan. With this person's identity and the current power and strength of Asama Palace, if they really want to protect themselves in the face of the counterattack of other shrine forces, they also have many other means.

There was absolutely no need for her to seek help from other countries - and there was no need to specifically look for herself, the 'Spirit King' who was still like a time bomb in the eyes of high-level players!

"In fact, even if you don't ask, this is what I'm going to say next..."

Facing the "Spirit King's" repeated questioning, Asamamiya Miko took a deep breath, calmed himself, and finally said seriously: "My real purpose is indeed to come to the Asama Taisha Shrine, but not for the shrine on the ground, but for the place below the shrine... Located below the Asama Taisha Shrine on Mount Fuji, there is the Sanzu River world where demons and ghosts are suppressed and hundreds of demons are rampant!"

"Yes, it's the mythical Sanzu River!"

"That is a replica world connected to reality... I don't know where that world came from, but I am sure that it existed even earlier than the arrival of paradise. It is a 'forbidden land' that only the successive chiefs of Sengen Taisha know about. It was originally established to suppress the Sengen Taisha. Although that place has always been very peaceful in the past, it suddenly broke out when paradise arrived. If it weren't for the Sengen Shrine blocking it, it would have invaded reality long ago... I also know that we must not let that world invade reality - otherwise, the whole of Japan will fall."

"After becoming a player in the park and gaining supernatural powers, I once watched from afar the world of Sanzu River suppressed by Sengen Taisha Shrine, and witnessed the terrifying scene of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. Such power is definitely not something Japan can withstand!"

The young witch's voice seemed to tremble more and more as she spoke, and it began to become hoarse.

"So, after becoming a player, you have been using your own supernatural powers and the seal of the shrine itself to suppress that world and prevent it from invading reality. But now you are about to lose control, and the seal itself, Sengen Taisha, may also have problems, so you are worried that once you are gone, the ghost world will completely invade reality. For this reason, you have come to me, a high-level player with the same supernatural power. As long as I promise you, then you can put your mind at ease and take the final trial before you completely lose control. Either die, or solve your own problems and come back?"

Li Re finally understood everything.

He thought that it seemed that this so-called "Sanzu River" world that existed before the advent of paradise was very likely a dangerous copy world connected to reality that was sealed under this Sengen Shrine by an ancient Japanese player. This shrine itself was a talisman left behind by that player!

He was undoubtedly interested.

...Then again, does this count as a pillow delivered to your door just because you're sleepy? After all, I just wanted to explore the traces left by the ancient players in reality...

No, maybe not. Strictly speaking, this was not the first time he had come into contact with a similar existence - it was just that he had not made the association before because he did not know that players existed in ancient times.

Li Re thought so.

The young witch in white and red skirt spoke again: "I can't deny it... If I can, I still hope to be alive... But the hope is not great."

"Only the supernatural can suppress the supernatural - in this entire reality, apart from Mr. Soul King, there is no one else who can do this."

"I don't want to see the destruction of Japan and the tragic scene of hundreds of demons roaming the world at night. I hope you can help us. If I fail to complete the trial and die completely, you can help me suppress it. If I complete the trial by chance, you will still be our 'priest', and the Sengen Shrine will still respect you!"

"I know Mr. Soul King has been promoted to Silver. I also saw your trip this morning. If it's just to seal the mouth of the Sanzu River... This kind of thing should not be difficult for you."
