“As for his origins, I don’t know much. Perhaps the miko knew, but they’re all dead. There should be a record of 0.8 in the shrine’s records.”

“But a few years ago, the shrine’s record book was taken away by other priests. They said they were going to record these shrines that were about to have no successors, and they have never returned it since then.”

“Later, I learned that they had burned everyone else’s inheritance, leaving only theirs as the legitimate legacy.”

At the end of the conversation, the miko gritted her teeth, obviously very angry at the actions of those priests, and even used such extremely insulting words to describe them.

However, there is always a way out. Even in this situation, her efforts to recall the past still gave Mu Yusheng some useful information –

“I also have some word-of-mouth information here that might be helpful to you.”

ps: First update today.

Chapter 2: Terrifying Cultivation Method 4/ [Please Order the Whole Book, Please Order Your Own]

“Word of mouth?”

Hearing these words from the goddess Mu Ying, Mu Yusheng’s eyes lit up slightly and he said, “Please speak.”

“It’s a legend, isn’t it?”

After organizing her words a bit, Tiannv Muying continued, “The previous shrine maiden told me some things about this shrine when she was dying.”

“Actually, the current shrine was rebuilt ten years ago. At that time, in order to prevent people from becoming superstitious about the gods, Mr. Kobayashi and his team demolished the old shrine, removed the priests and shrine maidens from the secular world, and offered them other jobs.”

“Smashed?”

Hearing these two words, Mu Yusheng was slightly stunned and looked at the witch in front of him with some curiosity.

“Yes,”

Tiannv Muying nodded and explained, “They believed in horses at the time, but unfortunately, Mr. Kobayashi’s career was suppressed by the Five Star Emperor. The priests who were driven away returned and wanted to take over this place, but the land of this shrine had already been distributed to some women down the mountain.”

“They gathered together and drove away the priests, but because the Japanese government was supporting the reconstruction of the shrine, in order to avoid causing too much trouble, they had no choice but to rebuild the shrine near the old shrine at that time, which is the current shrine.”

“But unlike the original shrine, the shrine maidens actually used it to hide their identities and help some homeless people. Moreover, during the construction process, due to the lack of property, many things were taken directly from the old shrine.”

“If nothing unexpected happens, the origin of the statue you mentioned is probably the same.”

“Then–“

“This shrine has been passed down from generation to generation until my generation. There are very few homeless people outside, so I am the only one left.”

“If nothing unexpected happens, the shrine maiden tradition may be lost by my generation.”

At the end of her words, a look of loss flashed across the eyes of the miko.

But the next moment, as if she had thought of something, her emotions became high again——

“Of course, this is a good thing. After all, it means society is getting better and there are no homeless people.”

After saying this, she pointed to a side hall not far away and said softly, “I don’t know the address of the old shrine, but there’s a high probability that there is something in the side hall over there. If you want to know more about the old shrine, you can take a look over there.”

“Although many ancient books were stolen and burned, there are still some insignificant or extremely important things left. They should contain information about the address of the old shrine.”

“It’s just that the things inside are too mixed up, so it might take quite a while to find them.”

As she spoke, she looked at the young man in front of her again, and the meaning was obvious.

“fine,”

Hearing this, Mu Yusheng shook his head and said with a smile: “When it comes to academic matters, I still have plenty of time.”

“Well,”

“It just so happens that I have nothing to do, so I’ll take you to find some relevant records.”

As she spoke, the goddess Mu Ying took the lead and walked towards the side hall.

As the witch here, she certainly couldn’t allow an outsider to rummage around here, so she had to follow him.

Mu Yusheng naturally had no objection to this kind of thing.

This is a matter of course. It would be abnormal if she didn’t follow.

Not long after.

The two of them walked to the front of the side hall.

The goddess Mu Ying did not hesitate and gave a gentle push, completely opening the door that was originally partially open.

Then she walked inside, passing the statue in the front. There was a small door at the innermost part, which was locked with a relatively large lock.

Seeing this scene, Tiannv Muying seemed to have just remembered something, and said with some annoyance: “Sorry, I forgot there is a lock here.”

“After all, I haven’t been here for a long time, but it doesn’t matter. The key is in my room. I’ll go get it. You wait here for me for a while.”

After saying this, and receiving a positive response from Mu Yusheng, the priestess turned around and left the side hall.

after awhile.

The witch came over with a bunch of keys in her hand.

After trying a few times, Anme-me-ei finally opened the lock.

Just like those rooms that have been locked for a long time and have never been opened, the moment the door was opened, a cloud of dust visible to the naked eye was brought out from inside by the wind, causing the witch to step back a long distance.

She waited until the dust had completely settled before she walked inside, saying, “Let’s go. The ventilation here is fine. I used to come here often when I was a kid, but it was only because I was busy with trivial matters and no one else had been here for a long time that there was so much dust.”

She explained it as if she was afraid that Mu Yusheng would care about this matter.

“fine,”

After answering softly, Mu Yusheng walked behind the celestial maiden Muying.

As soon as I entered the door, the first thing I saw was an ordinary table with some papers on it. I guess what the witch said was written on it. Apart from that, there was almost nothing else.

This is also normal.

After all, it was not the original priests or Japanese officials who rebuilt this place, but a group of women who were assigned to this place.

Considering the context of the times, it is impossible for them to have much money, and being able to rebuild such a 260-square-meter building complex was already a great achievement.

While he was thinking, the young man walked to the front of the table under the guidance of the celestial maiden Muying.

“The material of these papers is quite special. They are from the original old shrine.”

“The materials of these papers are very common, and they were added later… Maybe you should be careful when handling them. I originally wanted to copy them, but I didn’t have the time.”

“The records are quite disjointed. There’s a diary of a certain priest, records of the shrine’s land conditions, and some records of cultivation methods—of course, I don’t believe in that kind of stuff. The idea of refining a loved one into a so-called Shikigami and then having the ability to traverse the spirit world is something that no normal person can comprehend.”

“To some extent, it was after seeing these things that I finally understood why people should not be superstitious.”

“Otherwise, if someone really believed it, they would probably do something extremely terrible.”

As she spoke, Tiannv Muying’s tone was full of admiration.

Unlike the slightly naive girl in the original work, the celestial maiden Mu Ying in this world has been living alone. She must have experienced a lot of hardships, and her natural growth level is also different. At least she will not be too concerned about whether she is with her relatives.

ps: Second update today.

Chapter 3: Kaguya-chan, help me check… 4/ [Please order all, please order by yourself]

only–

Although she said this and indeed looked like she had seen through superstition, Mu Yusheng had a different opinion.

Because this statement is similar to the method used by the Japanese exorcists that he had seen before… In other words, if nothing unexpected happens, these training methods are indeed feasible.

Come to think of it, apart from the exorcists that have been exterminated by themselves, it seems that there are some other beings in this world who possess supernatural powers similar to the exorcists in the neon exorcism world?

It’s just that in the past, these beings who possessed supernatural powers did not pass them down for various reasons, so the situation that I saw was that the entire neon exorcism world was controlled by those disgusting neon exorcists?

It is normal if you think about it carefully. After all, it is a big country with a population of hundreds of millions, and they learned so much knowledge from Kyushu in ancient times. Even if their population was not so large in ancient times, it is impossible that there is only one tradition of exorcism.

But then again, the term “exorcist” itself is a modern term. Among them there are probably shrine maidens, priests, monks, and even some other so-called witches and servants of God. We cannot simply regard them as a school.

Of course, in terms of betraying the world they live in, it would be more appropriate to describe them as the same genre, uh, variety.

Shaking his head and not thinking about these things, Mu Yusheng waited quietly.

Not long after.

After flipping through a few pages, Tiannv Muying said in surprise, “The old shrine is actually behind the current shrine? Judging from the records, it seems that the distance is not very far?”

As she spoke, she picked up the paper in her hand, handed it to the boy not far away, and suggested, “Take a look.”

As she spoke, as if she had thought of something, she added, “But this place is now filled with thorns. There is basically no control, and there is no suitable path to get there. You may not be able to complete your studies there.”

“fine..,”

Reaching out to take the paper from Tiannv Muying, Mu Yusheng shook his head and said, “As long as it’s not a place that is completely impossible to get through, it doesn’t matter.”

In fact, this statement is made only out of consideration for mutual communication in order to avoid some avoidable troubles.

After all, for him, there is no place on this earth that he cannot go. Even volcanic magma can be stayed in for a while without getting hurt.

Exhaling slightly, the boy gathered his thoughts and focused his attention on the paper in front of him.

“The area a few hundred meters back?”

“Although it doesn’t look very far, if it’s pure mountain forest, it’s really difficult to get through.”

As he spoke, Maki Yusheng handed the paper back to Tiannv Muying and said, “Can you please check if there are any other relevant records? ——If there is only one record, it doesn’t seem very reliable.”

“I’ve looked at the situation over there before. If I try hard and think of a way, I can get there. But if the location is not accurate, it will be very uncomfortable and a waste of effort.”

Although he said this, the boy actually wanted to learn more about the old shrine and see if he could get any information about the person behind it.

After hearing what Mu Yusheng said, Tiannv Muying did not refuse and started searching among so many papers again.

after that.

Probably several dozen minutes passed.

The witch then flipped through almost all the papers.

I don’t know if it’s because too many written records were destroyed before, but in the end she only found a few seemingly plausible records, and they were all very mysterious, like myths.

“The gods defeated the great demon and sealed it under the shrine.”

“The gods need sacrifices, humans? Perhaps He too?”

“If possible, it might be better to destroy the shrine, as long as it is not carried out again…”

“No, no, it can’t be destroyed. There are things in it from before…”

As she softly recited these words, Tiannv Muying frowned slightly.

Tell the truth.

Although she is a shrine maiden, she does not believe in the existence of ghosts and gods.

But for some reason, when she read these words, she always felt a chill, as if something was blowing cool air on her back.

No.

It’s not so much that something is blowing in the wind, but rather that I am afraid of what happened to the old shrine in the past.

After all, the ancients were very ignorant and would attribute many things that could not be explained to gods and ghosts. They also liked to perform sacrifices, using animals, property… and even people.

Not to mention the clear records of important people and sacrifices.

If nothing unexpected happens, the old shrine has done something terrible.

Fortunately, the old shrine has been destroyed by the people led by Mr. Kobayashi, and fortunately the new shrine does not have this kind of inheritance, otherwise it would be too scary.

Thinking of this, the witch couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, and her mood became a little more relaxed.

She even had some free time to comfort Mu Yusheng——

“These ancient records are very metaphysical. There are probably no gods or ghosts. But beyond metaphysics, there may be other things, such as human sacrifices.”

“Besides, since no one has been there for a long time, it has probably become a nest of snakes and insects. It is still very dangerous to walk there.”

Without hiding anything, she directly said what she was thinking.

To some extent, she also hoped to use this method to prepare the boy in front of her mentally.

Whether you go or not, you must consider what you will face. Otherwise, if you regret it when the time comes, all your efforts will be in vain.

“It’s fine,”

Mu Yusheng naturally understood what she meant, but he just shook his head and replied with a smile.
