Chapter 700: The Wonderful Boy, the Innate Sandbag Holy Body
After greeting the ruler of the Sanzu River, Kazuki Kaoru, and Kishimo of the Zangtou River, the matter of the Yatagarasu settling down in the underworld was smoothly finalized.
After finishing all this, Kamiya was finally able to return to reality.
In fact, staying conscious for three days without rest is nothing for him.
But the decisive battle against three A-level gods on Apoqi Plain had inflicted real damage.
So, as soon as his consciousness returned to his home in the real world and relaxed, Kamiyagawa felt a little tired and hungry.
"My current body is not a body of a ghost or god in the absolute sense. Perhaps after the construction of the Human Lord Shrine is completed and I become a true wild god, the situation will change."
Thinking this, Kamiyagawa sat up from the bed, but did not rest immediately.
He now had one more thing to do, which was to review the spoils obtained from this trip to Yomihirazaka.
After the battle, there was so much to do that we didn't have time to review the supplies we had harvested.
Since three A-level gods were defeated, the spoils of this battle were quite rich.
First, some basic materials:
Like a considerable number of soul crystals, this is the most basic.
There are also three A-level gods’ heart blood.
Ever since the last time he defeated the mass-produced Broken God at Tianhu Rock, Kamiya will have no shortage of the Wild God's Heart Blood in the short term.
But the blood of A-level gods is still a scarce resource.
Three more would mean that we would have three more resources to cultivate gods.
Another thing is the harvest of God's bones.
The Great Peach God does not possess divine bones, but the two Thunder Gods in the Yellow Springs do.
Therefore, Kamiyakawa's inventory contained the [Fudui Thunder God's Skeleton] and [Tuzhen Thunder God's Skeleton].
Secondly, there are some other benefits of winning this battle——
For example, the "Deep Dream Foundation" of the Great Peach God.
This has been absorbed by the dream-eating tapir, which is also able to control dreams, and has begun to digest it.
Another example is the Yellow Spring Thunder, which has the earth attribute of Tuzhen Leigong.
This attribute of thunder power has been sealed by Kamiyakawa and stored in the spleen for germination.
Perhaps, as long as he spends some time getting used to it and practicing, Kamiya will officially master his own "earth attribute" thunder technique.
For example, the flesh and blood of the two Yellow Springs Thunder Gods.
At the end of the battle, the dog god picked and chose and ate a lot of the flesh and blood of the Yellow Springs Yin God.
So far, many gods have been killed by dogs.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is simply a walking "tomb of gods".
Thanks to the special attributes of the Inugami, these divine flesh and blood, as well as the power of faith contained in them, will eventually become its own nourishment.
According to this trend, it is estimated that if it defeats a few more gods, it will transform into a god itself.
Anyway, Inugami is the Shikigami that Kamiya Gawa needs the least to worry about.
It is normal for it to be promoted at its current speed.
There is definitely no other wild god in the world who can use gods as a snack from time to time like Inugami does.
Finally, there are some special loot left behind——
There is [Izanagi's Hair Comb] at the Great Peach God's place.
The ebony hair comb has been taken away by Sister Jue to study how to build the "Renzhu Grand Shrine", so there is no need to talk about it further.
After Earth-shattering Thunder God was killed, [Earth-shattering Thunder God's Skin and Bones] were dropped.
An extremely thick and heavy khaki animal hide.
And a piece of white animal bone that is also extremely heavy and can probably be used directly as a blunt weapon.
This animal bone is not the skeleton of a god, but it is possible that it was originally a part of the one-legged leg bone of Tuzhen Leigong.
Both the animal skins and bones carried the aura of the gods, mixed with a strong smell of thunder and electricity.
[The skin and bones of the Earth Shocking Thunder God: The skin and bones of the Yin God Thunder God can summon thunder. If the skin is used to make a drum and the bones are used to make a hammer, the sound of thunder can resound through thousands of miles, shocking the enemy and intimidating the world.]
There is also the last one who was killed, Fudui Leigong.
After the big toad died, it also left behind some material.
[The swamp water of Fudui Leigong: the source of power for the Yin God Leigong to control the swamp. It may be used to conceal the breath and control the endless swamp.]
Compared with the [skin and bones of Tuzhen Leigong], [the swamp water of Fudui Leigong] may be slightly inferior in quality.
From the outside, it looks like a mass of swamp water glowing green and filled with turbid bubbles.
This ball of water was covered with a layer of mud.
But no matter whether it is water or mud, when mixed together, it is as if they are wrapped by an invisible film, gathering together but not dispersing.
When you hold it in your hand, you will only feel a wet and sticky touch, and there will be no mud or swamp water directly sticking to your hands.
Moreover, the breath of God can also be felt on this green ball of water.
"I didn't have time to show these two materials to Sister Jue just now, but I'll have time to show them to her later."
Kamiyagawa carefully read the two materials left by the Yin God Lei Gong, and then put them away again.
Anyway, it's not something that can be used right away, and Sister Jue is now focusing all her energy on the construction of the Renzhu Shrine.
As for how to use the [skin and bones of the Earth-Zhen Thunder God] and the [mud and swamp water of the Fudui Thunder God], Shen Gu had some vague ideas.
After all, he has been in contact with the master craftsman for such a long time, and he still has some basic experience in material application.
According to Sister Jue's original words, materials can generally be simply divided into two categories based on their own characteristics:
Those with a "lighter texture" are easier to be absorbed by other ghost stories; and those with a "heavy texture" are less likely to be absorbed by other ghost stories.
The former is what Kamiya Kawa calls "Kaidan relics".
The materials of the two Yin gods Lei Gong do not seem to be easily absorbed by other ghost stories, so they belong to the latter. Their general application is to create extraordinary props or weapons.
For example, [Skin and Bones of Earthquake Thunder God], just looking at the description in the appraisal, it can definitely be made into a drum that summons thunder.
"But... these two materials left by the gods are both divine. Rather than making them into weapons and props, a more appropriate use would be to use them as the core of a shrine, right?"
If [the skin and bones of the Earth-shaking Thunder God] were used to build a shrine, it would definitely give the shrine the power of thunder.
Although Kamiya's subordinates do not have a shikigami with the power of thunder, he himself is proficient in thunder magic.
"If I can also master the 'Golden Thunder', then my second shrine may be directly related to the power of thunder, and these animal skins and bones will come in handy."
As for the [swamp water of Fudui Thunder God], if it is regarded as the core of building a community, then the attached authority should be "swamp" and "hiding".
The shrine in this direction...
Maybe the little old man can use it?
Is it also possible that Mimiko, the kappa under Xiaolu's command, will be in harmony with it?
Anyway, let’s see later.
Just store the things you don’t need for the time being.
……
Two days passed in a flash.
I have some idea about the basic materials needed for "Hinshu Taisha" from my sister Jue's side, but the list is not complete yet.
In fact, even if the basic materials are completely sorted out, it will probably still require the Cat Shopkeeper and the Golden Bear Boy to lead the team and cooperate in going out to search.
Even after finding all the materials, construction still takes time.
But Kamiyagawa has already overcome the biggest difficulty in building "Hinshu Taisha Shrine". The remaining work is basically risk-free, and it only requires waiting for some time.
A good meal is not afraid of being late.
And Kamiya has not been idle these two days.
He is seriously studying the techniques of using Huangquan Lei.
Most of the time is spent in the dedicated "Eternal World Training Ground", which is the Hualing Ghost School.
In the strange school.
As usual, Kamiya went to the open playground and found two newly born headless high school students to test his new skills.
The two curious boys also cooperated very well. They cried and shouted as they got ready to launch the attack.
The Xiqi Tongzi are really a group of pure wandering ghosts.
Although it is very weak, its resentment and ferocity are extremely strong, and it was born to take lives.
Moreover, when they attack their targets, they do not distinguish between strong and weak ones.
To be honest, to this day, Kamiyagawa has a new respect for Kiki Douji.
It would be fine if they only bullied the weak and picked on the weak, but the headless high school students' code of conduct is "equality of all beings". They will fight those who can be beaten, and they will also rush up to fight those who are obviously not able to be beaten.
Of course, this may also be because the Xiqi boys do not have brains and have no ability to think.
They are just like Paramecium that can only carry out basic life activities.
Attacking any living creature or ghost story that comes close is an instinct ingrained into Xiqi Tongzi's bones.
However, it is still admirable.
The training still has to continue.
With such characteristics, the Kiki boys are destined to be untamed, and they cannot become a stable workforce for ghost stories in the ordinary world.
It would just create chaos no matter where you put it.
Even if you look at it without any personal grudges, it is still an innate sandbag holy body!
"Woo-"
"whee--"
The two curious boys charged at the same time.
However, in Kamiyagawa's focused gaze, their movements were so slow that they seemed a bit boring.
Wait until the distance is shortened.
Kamiya bent slightly, raised his right leg, and stepped forward!
A thick and turbid biochemical aura surged from the spleen, flowing through the body and bones, and rolled out with the big strides!
Boom!
The moment my right foot hit the playground floor, the sound was extremely dull.
It sounded like a low drumbeat, or like thunder rising from the bottom.
Kamiyagawa only took one step, but the sound echoed in an extremely chaotic manner.
The earth is restless.
In an instant, dust flew everywhere, and the wind and sand instantly blurred the outlines of the two curious boys.
Within a circular area of several meters with Shengu as the center, ferocious ochre-colored lightning bolts, like tiny pythons, broke through the ground and rushed straight into the sky!
The sound of thunder mixed with the drumbeat of the earth was thrilling.
The moment the earth mines appeared, the two curious boys twisted and turned into ashes and dissipated, leaving only four soul crystals.
"It seems pretty good. After just two days of practice, I have become quite proficient in using landmines."
Kamiyagawa was quite satisfied with his performance.
Although the earth mines he summoned were far inferior to those of the Earth Shock Thunder God in terms of the thickness of the lightning pillars and the coverage area.
But after all, we're just getting started.
The speed at which Kamiyagawa mastered the thunder technique was no longer comparable to when he was just starting out. He had only practiced for two days, but in the rating of his proficiency in the technique of "earth mines" in "Kwaidan Monogatari", he had already entered the preliminary [proficient level].
After practicing for a while, you should be able to apply it in actual combat.
Moreover, through the practice of earth mines in the past two days, Shen Gu has deepened his understanding of his "Zangyu Wulei" technique -
Wood thunder is developed in the liver, which is called "curved and straight". It can bend and stretch, and generate strength, indicating that all things in the universe have the characteristics of endless growth, ascension, smoothness and comfort.
The water mine is cultivated in the kidney, which is called "moistening and descending". It nourishes all things, hides and moistens, and has the characteristics of moistening, descending, cold and closed.
Fire thunder is cultivated in the heart, which is called "flaming up". Warmth rises, flourishing, representing the sublimation of the vitality, the brilliant and hot characteristics.
The metal thunder is cultivated in the lungs, which is called "following the change". It is submissive to change and has the characteristics of cleansing, descending and astringing.
Earth Thunder is cultivated in the spleen, which is called "Jia Qiang". Planting in spring and harvesting in autumn, the meaning of life. Earth carries the four elements and is the mother of all things. It has the characteristics of biochemistry, carrying and receiving.
"When the eyes don't see, the soul returns to the liver; when the ears don't hear, the essence is in the kidneys; when the tongue doesn't taste, the spirit is in the heart; when the nose doesn't smell, the soul is in the lungs; when the limbs don't move, the mind is in the spleen. That's why it's called the gathering of five thunders." Kamiyagawa felt the power bred in his organs and let out a long breath:
"I am only one step away from mastering my thunder technique."
……
This world.
Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima Prefecture.
Itsukushima Shrine enshrines the three goddesses Munakata.
This is a shrine built on the intertidal zone of the Seto Inland Sea, and it enjoys considerable reputation as a cultural landscape.
The entire shrine is located on stilts. When the tide in the Seto Inland Sea rises, the sea water overflows the stilts and the shrine seems to have turned into a huge ship drifting on the sea.
Right in front of the shrine is a huge 16-meter-high torii gate, which is known as one of the "Three Scenic Spots of Japan" and is also the most famous landmark in Itsukushima.
Today, when Kamiyagawa and Onizukakirihotaru arrived at Itsukushima Shrine, they could see from afar that half of the torii gate had been submerged by the sea.
But it seems that when the tide is low, the torii gate over there can accommodate people passing through.
All in all, Itsukushima Shrine, a wooden structure on the sea designed using the principle of the rise and fall of tides, is really in line with its theme of "Ocean Shrine".
"Achuan, look, that torii is made of 100-year-old camphor wood. Because it's always been soaked in seawater, Itsukushima Shrine replaces the torii with a new one every few decades. This is also a tradition here. I visited it once when I was a child. The ceremony for the completion of the new torii was very grand."
The little miko pointed to the torii gate in the distance and said this to Kamiya.
The two of them appeared here, looking a bit like a young couple traveling.
It would have been more like that if the two of them had not been quickly and respectfully led by the staff of Itsukushima Shrine to the "Shinden-zukuri" style inner hall which is not open to tourists.
