Started from practicing sword in the countryside of the second dimension

What exactly Abe did to anger the other party and cause him to attack remains a mystery.

"Well, I hope those two guys can really find each other out west."

As Abe Taichin sighed, the two guys he was talking about were walking into the village with tired faces.

"Judging from the fluctuations of the pointer, this should be the place. I just don't know if I need to go further..."

"It doesn't matter what. I can't walk anymore. No matter if it's true or not, I can only rest here today."

"I agree with that. Let's go see if we can find a place to stay first."

The two of them were in the area near where all the gods and generals lived.

【Chirp】【Chirp】

Just at this moment, a few sparrows chirped as they passed by in the sky.

This made one of the men instantly alert. He looked up in surprise, looked at the sparrow flying away, grabbed his companion beside him, and lay down instantly.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

"Don't move, be careful, the earth dragon is about to turn over."

"Is this true? Sparrow even knows this?"

Before the man could express his doubts, the ground suddenly shook noticeably.

However, unlike what the two had imagined, although they could feel the vibration, the actual amplitude of the vibration was quite small and would not cause any major harm.

“…………It seems to have stopped.”

"Indeed, but this vibration is so strange."

"Of course it's strange. When can a sparrow tell you that a ground dragon will turn over?"

"This is the first time I've heard sparrows talk about this kind of thing..."

Although there was indeed an earthquake as the sparrows had described, the man's doubts did not disappear.

After all, it was the first time he encountered sparrows talking about earthquakes as if they were chatting about daily life.

Since he was able to understand the language of animals, he has gradually summed up some experience.

He knew that the words he could hear from the animals were actually what the animals were thinking at that time.

What the animal thinks will be translated into a language that humans can understand in an incomprehensible way and heard by him.

Of course, this is only his one-sided understanding.

The main reason is that he can only understand the sounds of animals so far and has no way to communicate on an equivalent level.

Basically, the things that animals talk about are things they have seen with their own eyes or heard from somewhere.

Animals do not tell stories that they themselves cannot understand.

If all the gods and generals were here, they would find that these two people were actually the two woodcutter brothers he had met before.

I don’t know how much these two have been through, but now they seem to have completely turned into two spies.

"Then you have to be careful. This village must be hiding something that can turn the world upside down."

"Could it be that the one that Master Taiqin wants us to find is right here?!"

"It's very possible... But if he is the culprit who caused the Earth Dragon to turn over, can we really persuade him to go to Kyoto?"

"this………………"

The two brothers looked troubled, and understood how troublesome the current situation was.

If we say that the monster that killed Sugawara Michizane was a guy who would frequently cause earth dragons to turn over in the local area and do all kinds of evil.

Then even if the two really found each other, they would not be able to think of a reason for the other to take action.

Or they are worried that if they really meet the other party, the other party will kill them without even giving them a chance to speak.

But if we retreat at this point, the problems in Kyoto will not be resolved.

In order to defeat the monster in Kyoto, one must at least have the strength of Sugawara Michizane.

This is also the reason why they are trying every possible means to find the murderer of Sugawara Michizane even though he is the one who killed him.

It's because they don't have top-notch combat power and can't fight head-on, so they have to try their best.

Another reason is that the two of them simply trusted Abe Yasuchika's divination.

Their actions so far are actually all based on the results of Abe Yasuhiro's divination.

According to Abe Yasuhiko's divination, the best way to resolve this matter is Tenmangu Shrine.

At first, Abe Yasuchika thought it was referring to Sugawara no Michizane in Tenmangu Shrine. At that time, he thought that Sugawara no Michizane had regained his form after all these years.

But after he actually went to Tenmangu Shrine to investigate, he realized that Tenmangu Shrine was no longer the same Tenmangu Shrine it used to be.

The gods and generals who swallowed Sugawara no Michizane with a sea of ​​blood are enshrined in Tenmangu Shrine today.

He also instantly realized that the key to solving the monster crisis in Kyoto was to find the monster that killed Sugawara Michizane.

Therefore, Abe Taichika secretly sent these two people to find the source of the power of faith, hoping to invite the generals of Kaishin to Kyoto to resolve the current disaster.

"Let's take it one step at a time. Let's go to the village first."

"Too."

No matter what decision they make later, the two of them can only go into the village to rest today.

Chapter 162 Blood Sacrifice to the Blood God

"It's shaking more than usual today."

"I can't help it. Today I encountered those underground monsters from previous years down there."

"Ah... um, come to think of it, I haven't seen you for quite some time."

After completing some work underground, Kaishin General returned to the upper floor. Fujiwara no Mokou happened to be there too, so the two of them started chatting.

"Strange, there seem to be a lot of new people there."

After chatting for a while, the general noticed that there seemed to be many more fireworks among the people in the distance than he had seen before.

"I heard that something happened in Kyoto, so many people fled from Kyoto."

"Kyoto? ... I'll go there next time."

The prosperity among people, in another sense, is the collapse of big cities.

If people can live and work in peace and contentment, they will certainly not leave their hometowns and settle in a place where they are unfamiliar with.

"Oh, by the way, speaking of which, a few days ago, Suixiang asked me to bring you a message, saying that the local Yan Mo wants to build a new hell and asks the ghost tribe for help. If you are interested, you can go and help. If there is anything in the future, Yan Mo will have some favor."

"New Hell, forget it. I don't really want to deal with this kind of person..."

The generals of the gods were not very interested in dealing with the local Yama.

The main thing is that from his current point of view, Yama of this era does not actually have much ability.

Although it is not very weak, its strength is actually limited.

Any powerful monster can leave behind human souls, but even if they do, few will take the initiative to retrieve them because Hell itself has limited manpower and strength.

Let’s not talk about the more powerful ones, just like the previous Journey to the West monster, the area where it was located was originally a hell.

However, as the Westward Journey Demon became stronger and stronger, both the dead and the living were attracted to it. The local Yama, who was unable to deal with the Westward Journey Demon, simply changed locations and fled before it could be affected.

This is the gossip that Kaishin Shōomi told Ibuki Suika when they were drinking, and it should be almost correct.

In the eyes of all the gods and generals, the hell of this era is basically a place where only the souls of those who died normally and did not encounter any accidents or messy things after leaving the body can arrive smoothly.

If someone were to exert a little effort in this process, the ghost would instantly disappear from hell.

"But, Gensokyo, how will it be different after it's completed?"

The fact that Kaigami Shōshin wanted to turn this area into a fantasy town was not concealed, and Fujiwara no Momoko had also heard a little about it.

But she didn't quite understand. Was it really meaningful to spend so much effort to separate this area from the real world?

If there was only one area used as a living place, she could understand it, because that would be equivalent to making a hidden residence.

But judging from what the generals and ministers of the gods said, the area to be separated was quite large, at least it included all the places within her range of activities.

In this case, it makes no difference to her whether they are separated or not.

"It may not make a difference in the short term... but in the long run, it is still somewhat necessary."

"Long-term...If you think it's okay, then it's fine."

Anyway, his life will not change because of this. If the God of War wants to create this fantasy, let him do it. Fujiwara no Momoko doesn't care.

"what?"

At this moment, all the generals and ministers of the gods suddenly realized something and made a puzzled sound.

"what happened?"

"It seems like someone is worshipping me..."

All the gods and generals were not very sure about what they said, mainly because the additional energy converted from faith was quite scarce for him, and he could not detect it at all if he did not pay close attention.

Now we can see that he discovered that the number of people who believed in him and worshipped him suddenly increased at a certain moment just now.

"Offerings to you? You're new in the village, right? It's still a treat for them."

"No, that's not right. It's not in the village. It feels like... it should be in the east."

The total number of people is here, and the increase is also slow. It is impossible to give all the gods and ministers such a feeling.

After sensing it, he was sure that the source of the offering was somewhere in the east.

"If you're talking about the east, is that the direction of Kyoto? There's a lot of chaos there lately, so it's normal to worship anything... But does anyone there know you?"

If people knew that the gods and generals existed, they would probably worship anything if they were desperate, and it would not be surprising to worship the gods and generals.

It's just that the belief in all gods of Kaishin Shoin was started under the nose of Fujiwara no Momo, and she didn't know that this kind of local belief has spread to Kyoto. After all, few people who came here went to Kyoto, and most of them settled here.

"What should be worshipped is the image of me that they imagine... There is something wrong with the direction of the tribute."

Although all the gods and generals convert all the faith that others offer to him into added energy.

But after being worshipped for so long, he can also sense some situations through the transmission of faith.

He noticed that in the east, people who worshipped him offered him basins of blood as sacrifices.

"It should be the people in Kyoto... Most of them are so excited. Uh, do they really think this thing is okay?"

Because the scale of this offering is quite large, if the gods and ministers concentrate their attention, they will be able to see some of the situations on the other side from the faith transmitted over.

And in his perception, he found that the people worshipping him were some Yin-Yang masters wearing tall hats.

The Yin-Yang master's men piled basin after basin of blood under the thing that was regarded as his divine body.

As for what these people worship as a divine body, it seems to be the remnants of the sea of ​​blood that fell from the sky when he killed Sugawara no Michizane. To put it simply, it is sand and soil mixed with his blood at that time.

The sand and soil were collected and placed in a tree root carved into the shape of a spring to serve as a protective body.

As for the blood offered as tribute, it was poured into the spring of the divine body in basins.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that these people were worshipping themselves, the first reaction of all the gods and generals when seeing this scene would be that this group of people were worshipping the evil god.

Because this is not a serious picture no matter how you look at it.

It feels like the next moment the believers will take the initiative to slit their throats and pour their own blood into it.

"What do they worship?"

"It's not something interesting... Tsk, should I go there?"

Kaishin Shōchen originally planned to go to Kyoto.
