$ Chapter 548 Takeshi Kurokawa and Aoki Shrine
Xie Que's thoughts were settled, but he didn't just dive into the world of Yingzhou.
After all, it seems that he is still far from being able to surround the entire world with the river of time like Nichiren Kami-lord.
Therefore, it is very likely that he will be discovered when he directly enters the world of Yingzhou with his physical body or thoughts.
In addition, the other party also possesses the Tianxin mark of Yingzhou World.
With this blessing, I am afraid that only the Lord of Heaven on the other side can let go and fight with the Lord of Nichiren.
But this is not impossible.
Xie Que instantly thought of the sinister magical powers that only those in the Galaxy Palace Lord's clan could master when they reached the realm of the Demon King of Freedom——
Great freedom should be my view!
That is to say, using one's own memory to annex all the other party's memories is equivalent to occupying a magpie's nest.
Once this technique is completed, the body and soul will lose their own information forever, and even the subconscious will be obliterated, and all traces of its existence will be completely erased by this vicious demon's magical power.
Xie Que continued the message sent by Tianhui Palace, and sent Huaiyuezi to open a hole at a fixed time outside the world of Yingzhou again across the void.
As for himself, he prepared a "Devil's Seed" containing all his memories and sent it into it.
This so-called devil's seed, to put it bluntly, means that Xie Que has obliterated all imprinted thoughts on himself, leaving only the purest flow of information.
However, with the blessing of the golden entry "Illusion Demon Questioning the Heart", this idea can also be regarded as a breeding ground for the birth of Xie Que, the demon form.
Coupled with the fact that the Great Freedom should see it this way, he can easily give birth to another form of himself from the corpse of a strong man.
After making all preparations, Xie Que threw out this idea directly at the appointed moment.
At the same time, Huaiyuezi used the magnetic field in his body combined with the magical power of thunder to open up a small gap in the world of Yingzhou.
The remaining power of time in that thought burst out instantly, penetrating the boundary river created by Lord Nichiren.
At this moment, Lord Nichiren in the world of Yingzhou also noticed the abnormality in the boundary river.
But he didn't notice anything penetrating into Yingzhou from the outside world.
After all, all traces of Xie Que's invested thoughts have been wiped out.
Only the most basic flow of information is left, which is not much different from the flash of thunder in the sky.
…
Yingzhou World, Higashiyama Road, Aoki Shrine.
In the woodshed of this shrine, Takeshi Kurokawa has been hiding here for three months because he was being hunted.
He stared deeply at the carefully arranged miniature array in front of him, a trace of astonishment and confusion flashing in his eyes.
During this long wait, Kurokawa Takeshi originally just planned to try his luck and try to contact the outside world through the spiritual array.
To his surprise, his attempt actually received a response from far away.
Although this reply came late, more than two months later, this sudden contact still caused subtle ripples in his heart.
"The legendary external demons... and the profound and unpredictable void... all actually exist."
Takeshi Kurokawa murmured to himself, with indescribable surprise and astonishment in his voice.
Although Takeshi Kurokawa's cultivation level has barely reached the realm of the Nine Tribulations (Fourth Realm) and is not considered a top expert in the land of Yingzhou,
But he was listed on the list of the Spirit Hunting Order.
It was precisely because his cultivation was not advanced enough that he could hide in the Aoki Shrine for so long without being noticed by the outside world.
If he were a Shaoyun (True Lord) or even a Dayun (Venerable) level master, he would have been captured by the wolf-like tiger pursuers under the Lingshou Order.
At this moment, Takeshi Kurokawa was extremely nervous. He was staring intently at the faint and mysterious white light in the spiritual formation in front of him.
This spiritual formation was accidentally discovered by him in the shrine. It seemed to be a relic left by his predecessors.
Although someone once tried to call out external demons through it, they ultimately failed, but the remaining spiritual energy in the array has not dissipated.
Takeshi Kurokawa just had a trying mentality. Unexpectedly, nearly three months later, he actually sensed the mysterious message sent back from the spiritual array.
Just as Takeshi Kurokawa was staring at the spiritual formation with all his attention and anxiously looking forward to the result,
Suddenly, a bright spiritual light fell rapidly from the sky, piercing the silent night sky, as brilliant as a shooting star.
This spiritual light flew directly into Wu Si's eyebrows with lightning speed and disappeared deep into his forehead.
Wu Si was stunned by the sudden aura, but he quickly reacted:
"The external demon... no, is it the Lord from the upper realm who came to save us?"
There was a tremor in Kurokawa Takeshi's voice, a mixture of fear and expectation.
In the old Yingzhou, the Adventists had always respected the beings in the void as the "upper realm". They were convinced that these advanced beings possessed infinite power and wisdom.
In Yingzhou culture, the worship of the strong has a long history.
Before the appearance of Lord Nichiren, the Advent sect, which advocated integrating into the void, accounted for a huge proportion of monks in Yingzhou, and their number was staggering.
Even among the monks in Yingzhou, Adventists account for a full third, which is a quite astonishing number.
In comparison, even in the Xiaobeihai Realm, which is twenty times larger than Yingzhou, the number of advent sects cannot reach such a large number.
However, after waiting for a long time, Takeshi Kurokawa found that the cyclone in his dantian was still silent and there was no movement.
After repeated confirmations without results, Takeshi gradually became bolder.
He decided to take a risk and directly use his soul to touch the mysterious cyclone.
At the moment when his soul came into contact with the cyclone, a huge amount of information poured into his sea of consciousness like a torrent.
The amount of information was so large and complex that it far exceeded Takeshi Kurokawa's imagination.
His soul sea of consciousness was instantly submerged under the impact of this information.
The memory released from the cyclone directly covered Takeshi Kurokawa's cognition, scattering his original memory, personality and even subconsciousness.
His soul thoughts were also covered by a strange force that was inexplicable and inexplicable.
That power seemed to have the ability to confuse the mind, and in an instant, all of Takeshi Kurokawa's thoughts were invaded by it.
At the same time, Takeshi Kurokawa fell directly to the ground.
As luck would have it, the direction where he fell was exactly where the spirit formation was, and the candlelight and formation on it were directly destroyed, and there was no trace of the spirit formation.
…
A month later, at the Aoki Shrine,
the sky was shrouded in haze, and thunderclouds hung low, as if they would come down at any time.
The continuous rain had been falling for several months, and there was still no sign of stopping.
In such gloomy weather, under the main hall of the shrine, in a dark underground space, stood a solemn statue.
A middle-aged man, dressed in traditional Yingzhou sacrificial clothing, stood in front of the statue with a solemn expression.
He lit two thick incense sticks, respectfully inserted them in front of the incense burner, clasped his hands together, and prayed in a low voice:
"God, I beg you to protect my son so that he can wake up in time."
"Wusi is my only hope and the continuation of my life. I am willing to pay any price, just to pray that he can wake up safely..."
He prayed for a moment, but then sighed and said worriedly:
"Alas, even if he can wake up, I am worried that he will be caught by those wolf-like pursuers and waste his Yin-Yang magic."
The middle-aged man seemed to be under great pressure. He sat in this secret temple underground for a long time, as if looking for spiritual comfort.
Finally, he stood up reluctantly and prepared to leave this holy place in his heart.
Before leaving, he once again offered a big incense to the statue to express his respect and gratitude to the gods.
However, in this era, beliefs other than "Nichiren Bodhisattva" and "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva" are illegal.
Once discovered, the owner of the shrine or temple will face the fate of being executed, and the statue will be ruthlessly smashed.
Therefore, the middle-aged man was particularly cautious when offering sacrifices to the statue.
He knew that every stick of incense needed to be registered, so he did not dare to offer too much incense to the gods he believed in, so as not to be discovered and cause disaster.
He had just walked out of the secret exit when he heard a burst of rustling sounds outside the shrine, which made him alert.
The middle-aged man immediately quickened his pace, walked to the door, and pushed it open with a little nervousness to check the situation outside.
When the door slowly opened, he saw a figure standing outside the door. It turned out to be just a girl, which made him feel relieved.
He knew in his heart that although Wu Si's practice of Yin-Yang magic was a bit sensitive, it was not a big deal after all.
If he pleaded for mercy, at least his son's life would not be endangered, and at most his cultivation would be abolished.
However, if the statues of gods other than Nichiren enshrined in Aoki Shrine were discovered, the consequences would be disastrous, and he and Takeshi might face death.
The middle-aged man looked at the girl in front of the door, and saw that her thin and beautiful face revealed a bit of tenderness and determination.
He tried to squeeze out a smile and asked, "Yumiko, are you here to see Takeshi again?"
The girl nodded slightly, and then followed the middle-aged man into the courtyard.
This middle-aged man, named Kurokawa Ichiro, is Kurokawa Takeshi's father and the owner of Aoki Shrine.
Thousands of years ago, he was a famous Shao Yun (Five Realms) and a highly respected Yin Yang Master in the Higashiyama Road area.
However, after the issuance of the Spirit Hunting Order, in order to protect the shrine and his more talented son Kurokawa Takeshi, he was willing to go to the Tenshoku Mansion and was stripped of his cultivation, leaving only the strength of Shao Shu (Three Realms).
Despite this, with the Shao Yun treasure body condensed by Yin Yang Technique, he can still live another three to five hundred years.
The girl named Natsume Yumiko is the fiancée of Kurokawa Takeshi.
Her father was an old friend of Kurokawa Ichiro, but he was unwilling to be abolished and went into hiding.
Now Natsume Yumiko lives in a village near Aoki Shrine and often comes here to visit Kurokawa Takeshi.
It has been more than a month since Kurokawa Takeshi received the response from the Yinxu Summoning Spirit Array.
His father did not know about this, so he did not know the reason for his coma.
But Ichiro saw that Takeshi's body and soul were fine, so he thought that Takeshi should not have been hurt.
Perhaps it was the result of a deviation in the practice of Yin Yang magic.
After the two exchanged greetings in front of the door, they walked in silence all the way to the side hall.
A month ago, Ichiro found Takeshi in a coma here.
Without any help from losing all his cultivation, he could only temporarily place his son here and wait for Wu Si to wake up.
But he didn't expect that Wu Si would sleep for nearly a month.
And until now, there was no sign of waking up.
At this time, Kurokawa Wu Si was lying on a reed mat, his eyes closed, his brows were knotted, and his fists were clenched, as if he was having a nightmare.
The girl squatted down gently, stretched out her hand to pull Wu Si's hair to one side:
"Brother, you have to wake up quickly..."
Ichiro sighed, closed the door, and walked out of the side hall.
Not long after, he heard the girl's exclamation from the side hall again.
Ichiro couldn't help but feel nervous, and hurriedly ran towards the side hall.
...
Xie Que felt the extremely poor inspiration and the seemingly omnipresent pressure of the power of heaven, and opened his eyes calmly.
Suddenly, what came into view was a beautiful girl's cheek.
Seeing that the young man seemed to have woken up, Gongzi couldn't help but exclaimed and asked in a trembling voice:
"Brother, are you awake?"
In this month, Xie Que's memory had already digested everything that originally belonged to Kurokawa Takeshi.
The memory of Kurokawa Takeshi was naturally among them.
Xie Que slowly sat up, looked around curiously, and finally set his eyes on the girl:
"Yes, I woke up."
"How long have I been unconscious, Gongzi, do you know?"
...
After three days, Xie Que finally figured out the current situation of his body.
The talent of this body is quite extraordinary. At the age of more than 20, he has already cultivated to the Nine Tribulations.
In this Yingzhou, it is considered a genius among geniuses.
It is precisely because of this that his father took the initiative to abandon his cultivation in order to protect Kurokawa Takeshi.
But paper cannot cover fire. Yingzhou itself is poor in spiritual energy. If you want to practice, you must arrange the Yin-Yang formation diagram to attract spiritual energy.
Kurokawa Takeshi, who was practicing in the mountains, attracted the pursuit of a fifth-level spirit hunter.
He had no choice but to flee to his father's Aoki Shrine.
Because Aoki Shrine enshrines Nichiren Shinto, basically the spirit hunters did not dare to actively search for him.
In addition, Kurokawa Ichiro had taken the initiative to go to the Tenshoku Palace to abandon his cultivation, so Takeshi escaped.
Later, Takeshi accidentally discovered the formation diagram and required materials of the Yinxu Summoning Spirit Array.
He was full of resentment because his father lost his cultivation.
Now that he was being hunted for thousands of miles, he naturally magnified this resentment to the extreme.
With this in mind, he arranged the Yinxu Summoning Spirit Array to attract foreign demons.
But what he didn't expect was that he was taken over by someone.
Xie Que thought that his strength was actually nothing.
In the countryside of Dongshan Road, he could barely act arrogantly, but once exposed, there was a high possibility of life threat.
So I might as well take the initiative to go out, give up my cultivation, and practice martial arts with all my heart.
Thinking of this, Xie Que couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smile.
Wu Si? What a suitable name. (End of this chapter)
