Chapter 5 Oracle
Chapter 5 Oracle
From Edo Castle to Osaka Castle, from Kanto to Kansai, Lin Qingquan traveled day and night for fifteen days.
Kasuga Shrine is not hard to find.I only asked two people along the way and went.
One of the passers-by said after pointing out the direction: "You are going to Kasuga Taisha... Then you must be mentally prepared. Because the god of Kasuga Taisha looks ugly!"
Lin Qingquan was a little excited, "Then I want to see you even more."
The passer-by laughed and talked a lot: "It stands to reason that ugly people cannot take on the priesthood. But Kasuga Kasuga possesses a powerful divination ability, just like a demigod, so he was specially appointed as the palace secretary of the shrine by the shogunate. From appearance to experience, They all look like the gods and men in the strange illustrated book."
The brick-red torii gates are erected step by step, forming a red tunnel that extends to a higher place. At the end of the tunnel is a shrine with blue tiles and mahogany.The eaves of the shrine are tied with straw Shimenawa.
Lin Qingquan went up the stairs.From time to time, witches in white clothes and red skirts hurried past.Sunlight slides in from the torii, forming a sloping rectangle. Walking here is like walking into the Lego world of red and yellow building blocks.
Later, I must find a way to see the God Lord, and it doesn't matter if I spend some money.Not for anything else, just to see the live-action version of the Weird Illustrated Book.
Thinking about it this way, climbing the mountain climbed faster.
As soon as he stepped into the shrine, Lin Qingquan lit the incense candles, knelt down to worship the god statue, and supported him with one hand.
"Welcome, I have been waiting for you for fifteen days."
Talking to him was a man in a plain white uniform, holding a fan made of bamboo bones in his hand.
Probably because he has lived in the shrine for a long time, he behaves like a deity who has come out of the world, clean and extraordinary.
But the point is, he's ugly.
It's kind of weirdly ugly.With a bulging forehead, dark skin, a square face, and a large gap between the eyes, it looks like a mythical beast that came out of Shan Hai Jing.
Even if he didn't introduce himself, Lin Qingquan knew from this attire and appearance that the person in front of him was the person he wanted to meet.
The person in charge of the shrine is called the palace secretary, also known as the god master, who is called the medium between gods and people, and presides over shrine affairs such as sacrifices and divination.
Lin Qingquan thought that he would pay a lot of money to ask for an interview, but he didn't expect that it would take no effort at all.
"Wait for me?" Lin Qingquan asked strangely, "You know I'm coming?"
"You can know it with the simplest divination." Shenzhu said, "The sacred fabric of our company was lost more than half a month ago. Divination shows that the divine fabric was stolen by a person who looked like a ghost with blood as a seal. And in Today, a host with a high-spiritual magic fetus will come to our office at noon and return Shenzhi..."
Lin Qingquan drew the key point: "A high-spirited magic fetus?"
The god master seemed to know that he wanted to ask this question, and said with a leisurely smile: "High spiritual magic fetuses refer to those magic fetuses that can be separated from the body. Therefore, when they perceive a crisis, they will leave the body for a short time to protect the host. Of course, their fundamental purpose is to protect themselves."
It turned out to be the case.
When he was in distress, his eyes were only out of body, not awakened.
No wonder I didn't eat myself, and it still feels so bad to the touch, like a sarcoid bump. The reason is that it is not awakening at all.
All awakened demons will be in normal human form.
"In addition to being separated from the body, the high-spirited magic fetus has a special ability more than ordinary magic fetuses, and that is mimicry. Like withered leaf butterflies and chameleons, they use mimicry to camouflage and protect themselves. Just like your magic fetus, It is mimicking the eyes to coexist with you."
Lin Qingquan was really surprised.
When we met for the first time, the divine master seemed to see through him, knowing him better than himself.
The Almighty added another sentence: "That's right. I have to remind you that the high-spiritual magic fetus will definitely awaken."
Lin Qingquan didn't speak.Seeing his pale face, the divine master smiled softly and said, "Come with me."
The two came to the garden behind the shrine and sat face to face at a bluestone table wrapped in deerskin.
Lin Qingquan directly laid out the piece of white silk cloth.
"This piece of cloth is something from your shrine."
The divine master straightened the crumpled silk cloth.The two lines of small characters embroidered with gold thread are bright in color, as if they were ironed on with melted gold.It is quite out of place on the worn silk cloth, which has a feeling of gilding bricks.
After being soaked in pus and blood and repeatedly washed, the gold thread can still maintain such an eye-catching color, which is really extraordinary.
"This is the oracle I got from the sacrifice two months ago." The god master shook the bamboo fan, "Put the blank silk cloth on the altar, and the silk cloth grew by itself without anyone touching it." These golden threads! It is precisely because of this rare miracle in a thousand years that Shenzhi was stolen by evil people."
Lin Qingquan pointed directly at the words on the cloth, "'The magic power is revived, the three ways are open, the endless hell, everyone is in the middle', this is the oracle. What does it mean?"
The divine master interpreted: "The recovery of magic power has begun, and the time was one and a half months ago."
A month and a half ago... Lin Qingquan recalled that this was the time when the eyes parasitized on him.
"About 45 days ago, the human world entered the era of magical recovery. Some people and animals will become magic embryos and parasitize people with serious injuries. The magic embryos feed on the blood of the host, and use the host's situation to , Awakened into demons under strong stimulation. Demons usually pretend to be human beings, but they are hungry for living people and will massacre, turning the world into an endless hell."
The divine master clapped his fans together, "Recently, many people have disappeared one after another, and they have actually become magic fetuses."
Lin Qingquan nodded in agreement.Recently, there have been frequent occurrences of ghosts and ghosts in various places, which has caused a lot of panic.
"This is just the beginning, there will be more in the future, and it is certain." The Almighty said indifferently.
Lin Qingquan looked up at him, "Are you sure?"
"You can know it with the simplest divination." The god master said, "You have done a good deed by returning the god weave from a long distance away. How about it, are you interested in trying divination?"
Lin Qingquan became a little interested, "How?"
Unexpectedly, the Almighty smiled, "I've already taken it. I took it for you when you asked for directions. How about it, do I look like someone who came out of the strange illustration book?"
Lin Qingquan was a little stunned.
The alchemist smiled and lifted the deerskin on the table, revealing the green stone tabletop.
Nineteen horizontal and vertical lines are engraved on the table. The lines are neat and straight, just like a Go board. One end of each line is marked with numbers, like coordinates.
Countless dots are densely distributed on the chessboard, forming a dotted nebula map.The star dots are decorated with cinnabar or green ink, and at first glance, the table is full of red, green and green.
But on the far side, there are two huge black spots.
"What are these points?" Lin Qingquan asked.
"A dot is a catastrophe. A red dot is a major catastrophe related to your health, and a green dot is a small catastrophe that can be escaped."
Lin Qingquan glanced over, it was so densely packed that he couldn't bear to look directly at it.
He moaned in his heart.Life in this life is really bad enough.
"You are the person who has suffered the most disasters I have ever seen. Not only that, but your fate is also very strange." The divine master pointed to the two big black spots with the closed bamboo fan, "The black spots are death catastrophes, which can be disastrous." There are two black dots on it, that is to say, you will die twice in your life."
He pointed to a black spot nearby, "As early as one and a half months ago, you should have died. The cause of death was death from serious injuries."
Lin Qingquan remained silent, but his scalp was numb and his face turned pale.
As a time traveler, no one understands better than him.
One and a half months ago was when his soul was worn, and it was the day when Xiao Lin Qingquan was attacked and died.
He was silent for a long time and asked, "Then when will I die the second time?"
The divine master moved the bamboo fan to the black spot at the farthest end, "The position of this black spot is three months later, which means that you will die in three months. The cause of death is the awakening of your magic fetus."
It means that after three months, the eyes will wake up and eat him.
Lin Qingquan seemed to have gone out of his body, some messy and inexplicable thoughts flew out of his head, circled in the clouds and mist for several times, and fell back into his head lightly like feathers.
So his head became foggy.
He opened his mouth and said, "This disk can't go wrong, right?"
"The information on the disk may only be vague or incomplete, but it will never be wrong."
Lin Qingquan remained silent, and it took a long time before he regained the ability to speak.He has already made up his mind to die, but he still wants to struggle before he dies.
He asked in a voice: "Since Lord God knows so much about demons, do you know a way to prevent the awakening of the demon fetus?"
The divine master shook his fan again, shaking his head, "How to prevent the awakening of the devil's fetus, I really want to know the answer to the question you asked. It's not just you, let all the innocent hosts survive, and let the devil's fetus never develop It is also my mission as an envoy of the gods to become a devil who does all kinds of evil."
He covered the lower half of his face with a bamboo fan, and a pair of eerie narrow eyes looked along the side of the fan.
"For this reason, I have done many divinations and calculations. But unfortunately, I didn't come up with a specific method, only a vague oracle..."
Lin Qingquan asked in a low voice: "Can you reveal a little secret?"
The divine master is also generous, "The oracle said that the secret to prevent the awakening of the devil's fetus is hidden in the three artifacts."
Lin Qingquan had heard a little about the three famous Japanese artifacts—the Kusanagi Sword, the Bachi Qiong Gouyu, and the Yata Mirror in his previous life.
This is something that has a high rate of appearance in Japanese comics. There are countless derivatives in ACG culture. In games and anime, you can always find the shadow of the three artifacts in moves and skills.
It's just that I didn't expect that the legendary three artifacts would have the necessary connection with me in this life.
"Where can I find these three artifacts?"
The divine master laughed loudly when he heard the unbelievable joke, "Since it is a divine weapon, how can you find it? The three divine weapons are inherited by the royal family and enshrined in the palace day and night. If you want to find them, then find a way to go to the palace."
Lin Qingquan nodded, then suddenly became serious again, and bowed to him, "I have one last question to ask Lord God Master."
"You might as well just say it."
"Is the information displayed on the disk destined?"
The divine master evoked an inscrutable smile, "The disk is karma, which is what we often call fate. The karma is so great that it can rival Sumeru and go deep into the huge sea."
"So it still can't be changed?"
"No." The God Master was very firm, "Karma is no match for wish power. As long as you really don't want to die, even karma will detour for you."
Lin Qingquan blurted out: "Although I'm dying, I still don't want to die."
The God Lord laughed and said, "Just 'I don't want to die' is not enough. 'I really, really, really don't want to die', this level is enough!"
Lin Qingquan was silent, with an uncertain expression.
The god master pointed at the nearest green dot with the bamboo fan, "I want to give you a small reminder. Your latest catastrophe happened within three hours, and the catastrophe came from water. Fortunately, this is a green dot. Dot, you won't die."
Lin Qingquan raised an eyebrow, "Then what if I deliberately avoid the waterway?"
The Almighty was noncommittal, "We'll know when the time comes, maybe you can use this upcoming small water calamity to verify whether the market can be changed. You can try it."
Lin Qingquan stared at the green dot for a long time, and said, "Just try it."
