This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

There are actually vengeful spirits lurking in the abortion room, but they are equivalent to the vengeful spirits outside such as witches and priests. Most of the vengeful spirits here are children who died before they were born.

This kind of resentful spirit is not as powerful as common sense.

On the contrary, they are still very weak.

After all, these children had already died in their wombs, and they didn’t even know what ‘longing’ and ‘resentment’ were, and the spiritual bodies they manifested were only formed by being contaminated by the resentment in the spiritual realm.

In this world that purely relies on the thoughts of the living to form resentful spirits, the strength of infants is naturally not high.

After Beichuan Temple liberated these resentful spirits, they also searched the rooms one by one.

But just as Kitagawaji thought just now, there was no useful information to be found in these small rooms.

Even if you want to find some information about 'Wang Yue from all directions', you will find nothing at all.

No wonder.

After all, Sifang Wangyue is at least ten years old and can be considered a girl. During this period, the users of the room where the baby was born must have changed again and again. After giving birth to Sifang Wangyue, her mother must have moved out of the room where the baby was born. Time, it is impossible to leave any information here.

but--

Beichuanji didn't believe that such a large pregnancy would not have a recorder and caregiver.

Even if there are things that cannot be found in the pregnancy room, there should be recorded texts in the room of the miko or priest responsible for recording.

After all, pregnant women are an extremely vulnerable group, and the Sifang family cannot just find a room to accommodate them.

The flashlight in Beichuanji's hand was raised again, the vertical light moving forward.

At the end of the line of sight, there was indeed a Japanese paper door with double doors that were tightly closed.

that room...

Beichuan Temple's eyes flashed and he walked towards the paper door.

He reached out and tentatively pulled the paper door.

Along with the sound of the door being pulled open and the dust falling, the furnishings in the room also entered Kitagawaji's eyes.

A simple wooden bed with bedding on it.

The desk and the bookshelf leaning against the desk.

This look of office space made Beichuan Temple energetic.

He quickly walked inside and came to the desk.

There is also a thick notebook open on the desk.

Kitagawaji blew a breath to blow away part of the dust on the record book, then reached out and gently picked it up.

There are a few words left on the damaged cover.

‘The Document of the Four Squares’.

The ancient thread-bound record text, with its dilapidated appearance, makes it look very dated at first glance.

Kitagawaji held the flashlight and turned all the light on the record book.

He reached over and turned to the first page.

‘The Instructions of the Book of Embryo:’

‘The Antai Room is a very important place for the Sifang family to raise their newborn son. Miko and priests should take proper care of pregnant women. ’

‘Don’t neglect your work. ’

‘If there is any negligence, both the witch and the priest will be sent to the wooden cage prison, and they will be regarded as sinners. ’

‘Unauthorized persons are not allowed to enter the abortion room. ’

As Kitagawa Temple speculated, this is where the Sifang family raised newborns, and if the witches and priests did not take good care of the pregnant women during the pregnancy period, they would be sent to the wooden cage prison.

He continued to look down.

There are not many things recorded in this "Fetal Document". Most of them are the registered status of the newborn, such as name, gender, date of birth, and the family to which it belongs.

But looking at the records on it, Beichuan Temple's heart moved.

Isn't this the best clue to find the moon in all directions?

He moved his fingers and read through it carefully.

Looking at the moon in all directions...

Looking at the moon in all directions...

Looking at the moon in all directions...

When Beichuanji turned to the middle of the "Book of Embryo", he finally saw the name of the person he was looking for.

Look at the moon in all directions.

but--

Kitagawa Temple frowned.

A trace of surprise flashed across his expression.

Behind him, Asamiya Yongse also floated out in time.

She was also full of surprise at the unexpected scene before her.

She covered her mouth slightly and felt a little trembling as she looked at the clearly visible line of black words added at the back of the Fetus Book.

"Sifang...Kaguya?"

Beichuan Temple remained silent.

What exactly is going on?

Why does Sifang Kaguya's name appear here?

And why... Kaguya Shifang's name... happens to be added after Shifang Mochizuki's name?

Does this mean...Sifang Mochizuki was later renamed Sifang Kaguya?

But the daughter of the head of the Shifang family who led Kitagawaji and the others into the spiritual realm...her name is also called Shifang Kaguya.

Kitagawaji thought.

Are these two names just a coincidence?

What exactly happened to the Sifang family at that time?

Beichuan Temple turned the book of fetus forward.

But even after flipping through it, I couldn't find any useful information.

In the final analysis, this "Book of Fetuses" only records brief birth and childbirth information for more than ten years.

Beichuan Temple put down the "Womb Document" in his hand and took a deep breath.

I originally thought that the clues of the matter had been completely connected, but I didn't expect that at this juncture, there would be such a shocking plot twist.

Kitagawaji didn't believe that it was just a coincidence that the name of Shifang Kaguya and this Shifang Kaguya had the same name.

"Shifang Kaguya..." Kitagawa Temple muttered this name.

He only felt that what was before him...maybe was a secret that was hidden under the Sifang family decades ago and that few people knew about.

Kitagawa Temple solemnly put the "Womb Document" into his backpack and walked to the bookshelf.

In addition to the documents about the birth of the fetus, there are many documents here, and Beichuan Temple really cannot ignore these things.

He patted the Kagura bell, then took off the Nishikujo that had unknowingly stood on his head and placed it on the table.

After all the good spirits were in place, Beichuan Temple said, "Help me see what useful information there is in these texts."

Gods in Makie, Asamiya Eisei, Nishikujo is pitiful.

As good spirits, they have stronger perception than him.

They also have a more intuitive feeling about the 'missing of the living'.

Therefore, in this case, Beichuan Temple did not hesitate to call them for help.

"In terms of feelings... I'm sorry for the book that's climbing on the spine right now... the content inside makes me a little concerned." Kamizu Makie spoke first, stroking his smooth chin.

Beichuan Temple was silent.

He turned back to look at Nishikujo, and found that the other party was indeed as Kamizumi Maki said, with his chubby arms stuck to the spine of a book.

But her movements didn't look like "crawling", but instead seemed like she was trying hard to "pull" out the tightly clamped book.

Kitagawaji looked at Asamiya Eisei again.

Asamiya Yongse nodded under Kitagawaji's gaze.

Then he looked back at Kamizuki Makie again, with a hint of surprise in his tone: "I didn't expect Kamizumi you to be useful sometimes."

"????" Kamizaki Makie.

She opened her mouth wide and pointed at her face. She couldn't hold it in any longer: "Beichuan! What image do I have in your eyes?! I am also one of the twin gods who reside in the village and hold the soul! Don't just see pity and How is my sister? I’m very useful too!”

Kamizaki Maki said this paragraph with a somewhat aggrieved feeling, and even the usual feeling of stammering was gone.

yes.

How could Beichuan Temple be such a bully?

She was obviously the first to answer his question.

As a result, Kitagawaji asked his sister for her opinion without looking back, completely ignoring her.

What is this?

Although I am usually a bit salty and like to play with my mobile phone, I am also a kind soul with dignity. You can't insult me ​​like this!

Kamizaki Maki was angry.

She made up her mind in her heart, no matter what Beichuanji said next, she would ignore him.

Yes, she also wanted to let Beichuan Temple know what it feels like to be treated coldly!

"I remember you wanted to switch a lot, right?" Kitagawaji suddenly asked.

Snap!

Kamizaki Maki stood up suddenly, with a righteous look on his face: "Don't worry, Kitagawa, I actually don't care at all! I will also help you seriously from now on!"

She patted her chest and said these words.

Beichuanji nodded and said, "Yes."

Then he added: "I'll buy it for you when I get back, but you can't play for too long in a day."

After receiving this promise from Beichuan Temple, the god of residence Maki also nodded. The depression just now was gone, and he was very happy and said nothing more.

Her look made Asamiya Yongse next to her shake her head.

But now that Beichuan Temple has made a decision, she can't refute it. She can only think about how to control her sister from playing too crazy in the future.

On the other side, Kitagawaji didn't care what Kamizaki Makie and Asamiya Nagase thought. He raised his hand and took off Nishikujo from the spine of the book, put it on his shoulder, and then stretched out his hand to pick up the thin book. I took down the thin book.

There are many books on the bookshelf, and this book is packed tightly enough.

It’s no wonder that just now Xijiutiao couldn’t pull it off even when he stretched out his arms and legs.

After taking down the book, Kitagawaji picked up the flashlight again.

The title of this book is very simple, consisting of only a few words.

"Anecdotes of Yueyou".

Compared with the previous notepads and explanatory documents on ritual methods, this book is more inclined to the ancient Japanese children's story novels.

What is different about this book?

Beichuanji raised his hand to open the book "Anecdotes of Yueyou" and looked upward.

After almost five minutes, Beichuan Temple closed it.

The content of this book is very simple, just as Kitagawa Temple expected, it is an ordinary children's story novel.

Most of these are beautiful legends handed down from Yueyou Mountain.

For example, Moon Bridge, Youyue Lake, etc...

But what interests Beichuanji the most is this story.

That is the story about Yueyue Mountain and the method of immortality.

The Sifang tribesmen in Yueyou Mountain mainly believe in the moon god Yueyong Mingzun, who is also the common moon god.

Legend has it that the God of Tsukuyomi would feel pity for the Sifang family's contribution to suppressing Huangquan, and sent a goddess from the Palace of the Moon to deliver the elixir of immortality.

Even if you don't take the elixir of immortality, just keeping it close to its side can keep the corpse from decaying and aging.

But this is just to keep the body incorruptible.

If you want your soul to last forever, you can only take the elixir of immortality.

And what Beichuan Temple cares about the most is undoubtedly the goddess who came down from the Moon Palace.

"Kaguya."

Beichuanji murmured to himself.

Yes.

This legend went around and around, and finally came back to the name "Kaguya".

Kaguya Shikō...Looking at the moon from Shikō...Kaguya Shikō...

Beichuanji frowned.

Assuming Kaguya Shigata has something to do with the elixir of immortality... so what? Is it possible that the current Sifang family is seeking that illusory elixir of immortality...the method of immortality that brought them to this place?

This guess is indeed possible.

And the possibility is still very high.

But this only explains part of the reason. The other part is the matter between Sifang Wangyue and Sifang Wenzhi.

Kaguya Shigata's repeated name is also a mystery.

Besides, now that it has become what it is now...are the Moon Observing Mirror and Yuehui Mirror also related to the method of immortality?

Kitagawaji rubbed his temples.

Puzzles came one after another. Kitagawaji could only put all these speculations and confusions in his heart for the time being and focus on the matter at hand.

After all, there is no point in thinking about these things.

What needs to be investigated still needs to be investigated, and this situation will not change at all.

As usual, Kitagawa Temple stuffed the book "Anecdotes of Yueyou" into his backpack and left the place.

...

At this time, the music scene area in the mountains.

This is the place where kagura and dance are performed in honor of the gods.

On both sides are taiko drums erected for playing music.

Kagura bell hanging on the wall.

Huge carpet.

It depicts a pale yellow full moon.

At this time, the half-arc moon in the sky echoes the full moon on the ground.

The waxing and waning moon phase reveals a sense of infinite depth. The bright moonlight shines gently on the Shifang Shrine.

Shifang Kaguya stepped on the stage of the Full Moon Kagura Festival, her eyes sparkling with light, and finally she shook her head and slowly closed her eyes.

The surrounding scenery is still familiar, and has not changed at all.

It's as if... I can still feel the swaying warmth of the bonfire.

The burning brazier.

The tribesmen prayed in low voices.

Solemn and solemn kagura.

Miko under the full moon...

Kaguya Shifang reopened her eyes and looked into the distance again.

The resentful spirits of the people wandering around the houses in Sifang let out unexplained howls, broken syllables in the air... a building in a mess.

"How long has it been since that happened?"

Sifang Kaguya played with the moonlight mirror on her chest and spoke softly.

Sifang Family...Tragedy...Miko of the Moon...

"Yue Hui Mirror...Moon Looking Glass..."

Sifang Kaguya took off the Yue Hui Mirror from his chest and raised his head to look at the round mirror surface.

The mirror was still glowing with colorful light, and her face was just a mere shadow.

Shaky...a shadow that has no sense of reality.

Kaguya Sifang showed a pure smile.

She hung the Yuehui Mirror back on her chest as if speaking to someone——

"You are a mayfly...you are just a mayfly..."

"Mayflies have no position and can only go with the flow."

"But I have never been a mayfly..."

Kaguya Sifang stood up straight and looked towards the sacrificial area behind the mountain.

"The Moon Looking Mirror and the Moon Dark Mirror, the two spiritual tools that have been differentiated after decades of waiting... are almost here... are almost here."

She touched the Yuehui Mirror gracefully.

Nara deer hairpin in hair...

Under the illumination of the moonlight, there is a slight luster.
