This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

Chapter 523: The Few and the Many (8,000 words goal achieved)

It is simply impossible for Beichuan Temple to give up destroying Zhu Saki's formation.

He will only do what he thinks is right.

Seeing Beichuan Temple's unchanging expression, Mou Chi Yingzuka sighed a little.

In fact, Mou Chi Yingzuka has been thinking about it in the past few years.

If she and her brother had been tougher on the matter of the coffin pillar more than ten years ago... would the result have changed?

Will it eventually lead to so many things happening?

These things are actually not clear until now.

Just looking at Beichuanji who was so persistent, she thought of what she had done before.

"If this is the decision made by Master Yushen...then I can only respect your decision..."

Mouchi Yingzhong said with a calm look.

"Oh? Won't you stop me?"

Beichuan Temple looked at Mou Chiying's tomb.

He did not expect that Mou Chi Yingzuka would give up persuading him at this time.

According to his thoughts, Mouchi Yingzuka should take all means to allow him to achieve a balance between the real world and the hidden world.

"There is no point in stopping you. If you want to destroy Zhu Saki's formation, then no matter what I say, it will have no effect. And... my only mission left in this underground palace is to welcome you. As for doing The choice is yours."

Mou Chiyingzhong raised his head and said with a smile:

"Speaking of which, I haven't told you yet what the purpose of the ceremony is, right?"

The main event is finally here.

Kamizuki Makie, Asamiya Nagase and Nishikujo all cheered up.

Yes, why did the Mou Chi family pay such a high price to pull a certain existence out of the real world and the hidden world? What is the purpose of holding the ceremony of offering sacrifices to one’s wife?

Under their gaze, Mouchi Yingzuka slowly explained the reason:

"Because Mou Chi's family is tired."

"ah?!"

Kamizaki Maki scratched his head in confusion.

This...what operation is this?

Mou Chi's family are tired?

What is this?

"As I said, the Mouchi family is tired..."

Mou Chi Yingzhong nodded and said:

"No one wants to live a life of fear all the time, including the Mouchi family who have been responsible for stabilizing the world and the hidden world. Constant human sacrifices, the Mouchi family who are exhausted physically and mentally... These should all be in the above volume. Is it recorded in Chi’s documents?”

Well...

After Mou Chi Yingzhong mentioned this, they really remembered that there was indeed such a record in the white volume of Mou Chi's documents——

‘At that time, the long-cherished wish of the Mouchi clan that lingers on me will also come to an end. ’

‘My family has sacrificed too much for the hidden world and the present world, and now it is even more unable to continue. ’

'The fate of Miko Michi, who has been sacrificed for this for generations...this is the end. ’

‘If the ritual fails, it must be the intention of the emperor, and the Mouchi family will be powerless. ’

'But since this scroll has been discovered by you...it means that the ritual is successful, please go to the underground palace...with the daughter of the new born. ’

What kind of mood did the priest or the head of the family have who wrote this document?

Looking at the written record above...it must be a big sigh of relief.

Because there is no longer a need to pay the price of clan death for these inexplicable human pillar ceremonies.

"Royal God, this task can only be completed by the two of us."

Mou Chi Yingzhong looked towards Beichuan Temple.

The sad expression that had been hanging on his face faded, and Mou Chi Yingzuka solemnly said: "Because of your choice, Yushen, the road ahead will be much more difficult."

"...You go on." Beichuanji motioned for her to continue.

"Since you can get the documents, Yushen, you should also get the spirit pendant."

"Is this what you're talking about?" Beichuan Temple took out the spiritual pendant with a vermilion glow on its surface.

He has always carried this spiritual pendant with him. After all, it was placed next to Mou Chi's document. No matter how you think about it, it cannot be an ordinary item.

"Yes, this spirit pendant is called the Royal Spirit Pendant. It is a family treasure that has been handed down since the beginning of the Mou Chi family."

Mou Chi Yingzhong looked at the Royal Spirit Pendant and explained word by word: "It has been enshrined by the Mou Chi family and has been passed down from hundreds of years... or even more than a thousand years ago... to the present. What is the secret of it? How many kind thoughts it contains...even I can’t explain clearly.”

"After that, it was nourished by the spiritual tools enshrined in the temple with me for more than ten years."

"Ordinary spiritualists, evil spirits, and good spirits cannot be directly touched."

"If you really want to use the kind thoughts in it...the torrent of kind thoughts will instantly wash away the human body to pieces."

"What about Temple-kun...?" Asamiya Yongse turned his head and looked at Kitagawa Temple.

"Mikami-sama is special."

Mou Chiyingzhong took a deep look at Beichuan Temple.

Only people who do not belong to the hidden world or the real world can touch the God-controlling Pendant like this.

Because the other party does not belong to this world, the fluctuations of good thoughts in it will not be alarmed.

Similarly, only Beichuan Temple can completely derive the good thoughts from it without incident.

This is the most important reason why it is necessary to pull him out of the gap between the real world and the hidden world.

"The reason why the hidden world and the present world are relatively unbalanced now is because the effectiveness of Zhu Saki's formation is getting weaker day by day, and the Royal Spirit Pendant is placed in the center of Zhu Saki's formation, and its good thoughts are used to maintain Zhu Saki's formation. ..In this way, the underworld that is ready to move can be restored."

but--

"This does not solve the problem of Zhu Zhiyin. Although it is suppressed by the Imperial God Pendant, Zhu Saki's formation still exists. Perhaps the life force-absorbing effect of Zhu Saki's formation will be suppressed a lot because of this, but a little adds up to a lot... almost It only takes ten years for the future lady you are talking about to die from this."

Mou Chi Yingzhong shook his head.

"This is a relatively simple method, and it was also the original idea of ​​the Mou Chi family."

"In this way, it not only balances the real world and the hidden world, but also extends one's lifespan through the suppressive effect of the God Control Pendant. During the peak period of Mouchi's family, the life-absorbing effect of Zhu Saki's formation was evenly distributed to For every Mouchi tribesman...even if their life span is reduced, it will only be reduced by one or two years at most. This is also a result that they are completely able to accept."

but--

"There are only a few descendants of the Mou Chi family left now, so this method can only play a role in balancing the world and the hidden world. It will not be much of a buffer for the remaining Mou Chi family and the future lady. Functional.”

Mou Chi Yingzuka continued: "Then there is the second method."

"Through the conversation I just had with you, Mikami-sama, I probably understand... that you will definitely choose to destroy Zhu Saki's formation."

Mouchi Yingzhong turned his attention to Beichuan Temple.

"Not bad." Beichuanji didn't mean to hide his thoughts at all.

"Then the second method must be used."

Mou Chi Yingzhong flicked his fingers, and the kind thoughts lingering in the cave began to rotate regularly.

Under the watch of Beichuan Temple, these kind thoughts were arranged neatly, and finally formed a pattern of enchantment in the air.

"This is the diagram of the Zhu Saki Formation. The Mou Chi family has been studying it for generations, hoping to find a way to crack the Zhu Zhi Seal. Is there a way in this world that can solve the Zhu Zhi Seal without destroying the Zhu Saki Formation? "

"...Impossible." Beichuanji shook his head.

Even a layman like him understands that the mechanism of Zhu Zhiyin absorbing life force must be a very critical step in Zhu Saki's formation. If you want to solve Zhu Zhiyin without destroying Zhu Saki's formation...this is basically impossible.

"As you said, Master Goshen, this is impossible. There can be no such perfect method in the world."

Mou Chi Yingzuka did not deny Beichuan Temple's words.

Yes, how could there be such a best-of-both-worlds solution in this world?

"As long as Zhu Saki's formation is separated from the mechanism of Zhu Zhiyin, it will not be able to operate freely. It will collapse quickly. At the same time, the balance between the real world and the hidden world will be broken instantly. This process is irreversible. But -"

Mouchi Yingzuka stretched out a finger and looked seriously: "Since we can't prevent the collapse of Zhu Saki's formation, can we slow down the collapse of Zhu Saki's formation?"

"You mean... while destroying the Zhu Zhi Seal mechanism, are there other ways to keep the Zhu Saki Formation functioning for a while?"

What the other party wanted to express was not difficult to understand, and Beichuan Temple understood the context in an instant.

"Yes. Although it cannot prevent the collapse of Zhu Saki's formation, the speed of its collapse can be slowed down."

Mou Chi Yingzuka stretched out a second finger.

"That's a concession I'm willing to make."

She looked at Beichuan Temple: "My duty is to balance the hidden world and the present world. Since I cannot prevent Zhu Saki's formation from being destroyed by Lord Goshen, then I must let it play its role in the final time."

"..." Beichuan Temple.

Mouchi Yingzuka has indeed given a lot of concessions, and the method she said is indeed very good.

It can not only solve the problem of Zhu Zhiyin, but also slow down the collapse of the balance between the hidden world and the real world.

"How long can it be postponed for?"

Kitagawaji asked.

"Three years." Mou Chi Yingzhong stretched out a third finger: "The speed of collapse can be delayed up to three years. During this period, with the collapse of Zhu Saki's formation, more and more supernatural and weird events will occur. The more often.”

"Three years is enough time."

Kitagawa Temple nodded calmly.

"Uh... enough... what does this mean?" Mouchi Yingzuka glanced at Beichuan Temple strangely. She didn't quite understand the meaning of Beichuan Temple's words.

"...You seem to look down on the human race." Beichuan Temple couldn't help but glance at Mou Chi Yingzhong.

"The buffer time of three years is enough for government agencies to respond and formulate response methods."

Yes.

If there is a buffer time of three years, let alone a simple coping method, it is estimated that exorcism and exorcism will become an emerging profession again.

The families, shrines, and ancient temples that suppressed Huang Quan... the ability users who exist in these places are expected to stand up and solve the problem.

The three-year slow recovery of the supernatural and weird can also give buffer time to those who don’t understand the situation.

"...Is that so?" After hearing what Beichuan Temple said, Mou Chi Yingzuka was a little stunned.

She had no idea that the outside world had undergone such earth-shaking changes.

In the face of such development of human civilization, the resurgence of supernatural beings and weirdness...it seems that there is no need to be so afraid.

"Another point is..." Beichuan Temple looked at Mou Chi Yingzuka and said word by word: "In fact, you don't have to worry so much at all. Because to maintain the balance between the hidden world and the present world, no one has ever stipulated that Mou Chi is A duty that the family must fulfill.”

Yes.

No one has ever forcefully stipulated that the Mouchi family must contribute to human society.

Because the problem between the hidden world and the present world is simply not something that a small family can sort out.

This is not limited to the Mou Chi family.

This is true for the Shenzhu family, the Sifang family, the Magong family, the Yihui family... and all kinds of families that suppress Huang Quan.

He took everything on himself, which ultimately led to the demise of the family.

When faced with a problem that you can't solve alone...is it shameful to run away?

"Since it is a problem that you cannot solve alone, there is no shame in running away. Put it out and let everyone solve it together. This is the real way to solve the problem."

There is never any shame in relying on others.

The spirit of the Mou Chi family and the Shen Zhu family who suppressed Huang Quan is indeed worthy of praise, but are their methods really correct?

Obviously this is a problem that the entire world should face together.

"But..." Mou Chi Yingzuka was unable to refute Beichuan Temple's words.

"Nothing. Miss Mou Chi, you yourself said that the people of Mou Chi's family are tired, and they are unwilling to risk their lives to alleviate the balance problem between the world and the hidden world. Do you think they are shameful? ?"

"That...I don't think so." Mou Chi Yingzuka shook his head gently.

She looked at the young man in front of her with shining eyes.

Just as the other person said.

Who is not afraid of death?

Who wants to die?

Before life or death, everyone has the right to choose.

The Mouchi people have suppressed Huangquan for more than a thousand years. Even if they give up this work now, who can blame them?

"It is impossible to bear the entire fate of a certain ethnic group on one's own shoulders."

Beichuan Temple's calm voice sounded.

Do you want to rely on the strength of a family or an individual to drag the entire clan forward?

That is simply impossible.

"That's why you said what you just said..."

Mou Chi Yingzuka thought of Kitagawaji's words, "You seem to be looking down on the human race."

Don't underestimate the history behind the human race.

Human history that can be passed down to this day.

Its thickness, its heaviness...it is impossible to carry it with one's own strength.

"Tera-kun..." Asamiya Nagase gently hugged Kitagawaji.

For some reason, she was moved.

What Beichuan Temple just said sounded like he was reprimanding Mou Chi Yingzuka. But if you think about it carefully, you can understand the true meaning of Beichuan Temple——

No one asked you to perform these bloody rituals.

No one needs you to sacrifice your life for free.

There is also law in modern times, but I have never heard of that country's law that would allow a few people to sacrifice their lives to protect the majority of the country's people.

Faced with these unreasonable things——

"You have every right to choose."

Beichuan Temple said so.

Yes.

No matter what the final result of that choice is.

That is what everyone should face.

Thanks for the brown sugar and ink brush in the house, and the reward that told me to go study! Thank you so much!
