Vientiane Senro

What role does faith have for the gods?

The gods who linger on the earth need them to maintain their existence, and the gods who are always on their own just use them to show their brilliance.Just like Ji Qiu, if he doesn't have faith, at best he will leave this world. Even though it will take a very long time to return, it won't have much impact on him after all.

When Ji Qiu returned to the present world from the Honmaru, the beliefs he absorbed had reached the point where he had condensed into substance. He did not reveal that abnormality when he was in the Honwan, but when he reached the river of time, his whole body was full of It was shrouded in a golden light that was bright enough to sting people's eyes.

It is impossible to see his specific figure, but every fractal body reveals the meaning of dignity, his gaze can move people's hearts, and his every move reveals the beauty of divinity, which is projected in people's hearts, It is the ultimate that everyone can imagine in their hearts.

He noticed that there were more other sights cast from the sky, and he lowered his body calmly, leaving those suspicious or friendly or plain or hostile sights behind him.

When Ji Qiu returned to the apartment, the little snake on Sakiko Morikawa's wrist quickly jumped out of her body, and when Ji Qiu walked out of the room, the little snake had already climbed onto the door's rotary handle.Its upper body is twisted on it, but its long tail hangs down without force. Seeing Ji Qiu's appearance, joy flashed in its pale golden eyes, and its soft body quickly wrapped around it.

Ji Qiu didn't refuse its approach either, he nodded the little snake's head, a flash of thought flashed in his eyes.He brought the dragon god back to this era at the beginning because the little snake was in a wrong state at that time; moreover, the "dragon head jade" he initially used to locate it was also sent by the dragon god.If he wants to explore the connection between them, he'd better keep it with him all the time.

Now Ji Qiu is not afraid of being known by others. After reaching his strength, the so-called secrets will no longer be secrets.

Although he is in the space of Honmaru, there is no gap in time after all. Therefore, he will see the sacrifice of the God of the Forest in the end. He knows that every believer who comes to pray What is his wish? He also knows what is the deepest desire in the heart of Prime Minister Yamazaki who led the officials to worship the shrine. He also saw the red leaves hiding outside the shrine. With a cold and scrutinizing gaze, he secretly watched the Mori God Shrine.

She is much more patient than when she was among the ghosts.

The wind blew in through the apartment's open windows, blowing the light-coloured curtains until they bulged.Ji Qiu took this high-rise building as a foothold and looked out. What he saw were blurry mountains in the distance and bright buildings nearby. People on the street were walking like dense ants. Through this ordinary scene, he saw something as if he had discovered it. The red leaves... and the snow girl and big tengu who still haven't given up looking for him in this era.

Muhua in the shrine is praying with his eyes closed, and the lantern fire is resting quietly. The Senshin Shrine is built on a mountain peak in the north of Kyoto City. Much quieter and deeper.

Ji Qiu's eyes were about to leave as soon as he touched it, and he deliberately pulled his attention away from behind the torii gate.

In modern society, there are no things that require him to think too much.From his reincarnation as "Morikawa Hisashi" to now, he has already embarked on a path of "proving the Tao" in time. He did not go to the future, because the future has too many uncertainties, and his own secrets are also in the past. , if he wants to continue to improve himself and expand his "omniscience" to an unprecedented level... Ji Qiu closes his eyes, maybe he will continue to move forward at the point in time that has already passed.

Yamata no Orochi, the biggest enemy before, has been annihilated, and only the shikigami "Yaki" who has degenerated into a demon survived. Ji Qiu, who had solved such troubles, should have no worries to pursue the origin and the unknown, but, Who made him provoke that Tsukiyomi again in Kaguya Ji's era?

"...was it suppressed by Yue Yejian Zun?" Ji Qiu remembered what Bei Yuanzhang had said to Mu Hua in the shrine, and he smiled slightly: "Did I intervene in the matter of the moon demon that was found out later?"

Ji Qiu was a little surprised, and he didn't know whether he got some useful clues from the Moon Demon, Kaguya Ji, or the Black Fox, or used other methods... But no matter which one, he knew , that moon god must have been very angry at his "stealing" at the beginning. It was a kind of helpless vent for him to convict his shrine, and once he himself appeared under the moon, that moon god would definitely Very pleased.

This noble sacrifice to the god of the forest, which was raised by human officials, is likely to alarm the god who lives in the moon...

"Is this 'delaying' the past battle to the present?" Ji Qiu thought.He had successfully calmed down the torrent of information he had obtained when he replaced the Moon God, and he had eliminated the "Yatata no Orochi" that was stuck in his throat... Ji Qiu's eyes flashed, and in the end, rather than waiting until the moon rose at night, To finish with Yueye Jianzun, he still decided to solve another question in his heart first.

He already has the ability and qualifications to witness with his own eyes.

He began to go back in the direction of the source of the time torrent.

There is no need for the companionship of a man with a sword. In the past, Ji Qiu used the compass to cross the danger of being lost in the huge history. He needed to hold the rope and feel the stones to cross the "river", but now, he has become a god. Such a time The waves can't make him lost forever, he doesn't even need the item he used to locate last time, he can choose to "go ashore" at any time he wants.

Until he stopped in the darkness.

This darkness is also completely black, without the moon and stars, without a ray of light.From the moment Inari God accepted Geye Tianhu's request to have a child, Ji Qiu immediately pursued him.The distance ahead was smooth, but at this point in time, it was blocked by the complete darkness.

He did not manifest the light of God. He landed on a piece of soft, wet land, and the surrounding environment was a terrifying silence. Vitality had died from this land. The warmth had not come to the world for a long time. No human or animal could live in such cold. survived.

"咚咚咚——" the ground trembled, and the sound seemed to come out in front of him. Ji Qiu raised his head, and in the terrible darkness where even the outline could not be seen, he knew that there was a beast with a full body. A deformed monster with a height of 800 meters was walking slowly one foot in front of him. Its thick legs, which can only be hugged by several people, stepped on the ground in front of Ji Qiu, and the air flow brought up by it blew Ji Qiu's forehead hair, its appearance is like a strangely fabricated monster, without eyes and ears, and the grinning mouth is full of densely packed sharp teeth.

Evil ghosts covered the entire sky, layer upon layer, like an unknown number of layers of dirt covering the earth, wandering around the wilderness were monsters with strange shapes, they challenged human aesthetics, and grew wantonly in the darkness , they feed on their own kind, and they are not picky about other beings, as if as long as there is food to fill their stomachs, it is an acceptable thing.

The ground was filled with turbid water seeping from nowhere, and the rotten breath poured into the nostrils, and more places were frozen by ice. This is a dead land, a region more terrifying than hell, Humanity is almost extinct, and the few words in those ancient books, for all living beings in this period, is a doomsday that can wipe out the entire race.

Amaterasu Omikami hid in Tianyanto, and the world lost its light.

Even if people have technology in the future, without the sun, it is impossible for them to persist for a long time, let alone the ancient era where civilization is not long?

The concept of time between God and man is different.

Ji Qiu didn't want to disrupt everything in this time, he just followed the source flow he sensed last.During this period, a monster that hunted by feeling opened its mouth and bit him. Ji Qiu did not use the bright and glowing spiritual power spell. He flew past the monster, and a spiritual energy pierced into it from his fingertips like a snake. In the body, after destroying the part that might be the "brain", the huge monster crashed down, becoming a new collection on top of the endless bones.

What Ji Qiu saw was a touch of soul.

To be precise, it is more like a ghost with no aim at all. "He" has the appearance of his previous life, the age when he died, and he is also wearing a shirt and trousers, which is an attire that will never exist in this era. "His" eyes are lifeless, standing alone on a glacier like this, monsters ignore "him", evil spirits ignore "him", even if there are still human beings who survived, there will never be anything in their eyes The figure that reflects this soul... This is the rejection of "him" in this world. "He" is like a lone guest wandering in this universe, a heterogeneous species that is more unacceptable than those monsters and evil spirits!

Ji Qiu's brows and eyes darkened.He finally knew where he was before Inari was reincarnated for him.He didn't travel because of Inari God's pull—his time travel was earlier.

No matter what the reason is, he came to this world with gods and monsters. He didn't bring his own body, and wandered in this strange world like a ghost.His sanity was not clear because of the oppression of the world, which also caused him to have no memory of this period at all... He thought that he had directly passed through Qingming's body, so he played the "snatch" on himself wisely. The definition of “home”.

If this soul really has a destiny, "his" destiny will only be to disappear in this different time and space.Ji Qiu once thought that the "fate" in Inari God's mouth referred to his reincarnation and becoming a god, and the fixed number he mentioned was something preordained in the dark.

But now, he knows that his fate is probably very different from the "fate" that God Inari said.

The ghost of this different world refuses to dissipate, even if he is repulsed and ignored by all beings, even if his reason is scattered and suppressed, "he" still persists in wandering in this land...

And this wandering lasted for 3000 years!
