This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

The process of climbing will not be described one by one here.

Beichuan Temple came to the Shinto Shrine again, and the main hall of the shrine was still shining with a faint fire.

The entire shrine complex is unexpectedly simple. The front is obscured by the shrine main hall, and only the outline of the building can be seen behind.

This time he was full of physical strength, and he no longer hesitated, stepped onto the wooden path, and walked straight to the main entrance of the shrine main hall.

Perhaps because of the rain yesterday, the entire wooden road was flooded with sewage.

Beichuan Temple stepped on the water and came to the wooden road, and the warmth gradually peeled away from him.

The gate of the temple was closed tightly, and Beichuan Temple's fingers were tightly placed in the gap and couldn't be opened.

It seems to be connected to this space.

Beichuan Temple stepped back two steps, and a cold light flashed in his hand.

With lifeless pouring, the blade face slammed heavily on the Japanese wooden door.

A strange scene happened.

At a distance of about one centimeter from the wooden door, the dagger of Beichuan Temple could not continue to approach, as if there was an invisible wall in the sky blocking Beichuan Temple in front of it.

In this regard, Beichuan Temple only increased the strength and lifelessness in his hands with no expression.

Khakaka

Click!

There was a crisp sound, and the invisible wall seemed to be completely smashed and disappeared by the heavy blow of Beichuan Temple.

call.

Beichuan Temple let out a sigh of relief and retracted Kending. When he reached out and put his hand on the wooden door, it could already be easily opened.

"Let's go." Kitagawa Temple said pitifully to Nishikujo, who was lying on his shoulders. At the same time, he left the outdoor backpack and winter clothes in place. He only took his own pocket and held the flashlight to touch the interior of the dark shrine hall .

Although there are candles swaying inexplicably in the shrine, the whole is still relatively dark.

Beichuan Temple can feel the malicious gaze hidden in the darkness.

But when he struck the flashlight over, he found nothing.

He shook his head and scanned the surroundings intently.

The interior space of the building is very large. With the square dome on top, you can see the horizontal wood and the pale white lanterns that are overwhelming and swaying slightly.

Yes, the overwhelming paper lanterns seem to have people's names on top of the paper lanterns.

With the light, Beichuan Temple could barely see the words written on it.

God in

God in

God in

On the paper lanterns are written all the surnames of God!

This is the main shrine hall, but there is only one table inside, and there are no offerings on it.

Only the paper lantern on his head was shaking slightly.

So it is not difficult to guess that the shrine main hall is dedicated to these tribesmen of the God-resident family.

Beichuan Temple's gaze turned

"That is?"

Something seems to have fallen under the altar.

Beichuan Temple flashed a flashlight and walked over.

It was an old thick notebook, and Beichuan Temple took it out.

These words are written on the cover.

"God in Marriage".

Indeed, if God is in the family to maintain the inheritance, it is naturally impossible to leave the marriage contract.

But the strange thing is why the notepad that records these marriages is placed here.

Beichuan Temple placed it on the altar table and looked at it under the light:

‘God stays at the shrine, marriage affair. ’

'In order to maintain the inheritance of the shrine, it is necessary to select some husbands and sons to go up the mountain every 15 years, and then the marriage ceremony will be held. , So that he concentrates on the ceremony, and since then settled in Shen Zhushan. ’

‘After that, the son-in-law and the shrine maiden gave birth to gods. ’

‘My son-in-law is not allowed to touch the core things of the shrine, and those who live in the house of the gods shall not have any relationship with his son-in-law. Keep the bloodline pure, control the entire shrine and the ritual inheritance. ’

"My son-in-law? Is it possible that this is what Asamiya Eternally said?" Beichuan Temple remembered the story of the witch and man that Asamiya Eternally told.

The shrine maiden, who is the home of the gods, fell in love with the man who is the son-in-law, and there is indeed a possibility of existence.

If one of the twin souls falls in love with a certain man, and because of the strict rules of God’s residence at home, he cannot meet the one he loves, causing the ritual to fail

Is there such a possibility?

Moreover, this title page only states the status of ‘consistent’. What if a man’s wedding ceremony is ‘incompatible’?

What will happen to the man?

There is no record behind this.

Beichuan Temple opened the book.

The beginning of this book is the Taisho period, but there are not many things recorded on it.

After all, this mountain only brings men up the mountain once every fifteen years, so there are not many things that can be remembered.

Moreover, sometimes there are many males in the Shinto Shrine, so naturally there is no need to select men from the bottom of the mountain. Therefore, there are also records of several stalls.

But Beichuan Temple didn't care about these. What he cared about was the record in 2008 or 2009.

According to the story told by the remnant of Asamiya's eternal life, there may be records of witches and men there.

"Yes." Beichuan Temple's expression lifted.

Sure enough, as Beichuan Temple thought, in 2009, there was indeed a selection.

There are not many men going up the mountain, and at a glance, there are only a dozen people.

Half of the people’s names were marked with a red line on it. It can be seen that this should be the person who failed the marriage ceremony.

"In other words, are the remaining people among these?"

Beichuan Temple looked at the part of the list below, and one of the names caught Beichuan Temple’s attention.

His name was marked with a red circle, which seemed to be a special mark.

Turn over again at Beichuan Temple.

What is strange is that the records of the wedding ceremony in 2009 just disappeared out of thin air.

This is inconsistent with the previous format.

The general format of the front is:

Marriage candidates who pass the wedding ceremony (excluding men who have not passed the wedding ceremony) The wedding ceremony candidate marries a witch in the shrine.

But this page has nothing left except for the selection of marriage candidates and those who passed the marriage ceremony.

It stands to reason that there should be marriage to be done later

"In other words, for some reason, the matter of getting married was temporarily postponed."

Beichuan Temple frowned.

So what happened, that is more important than the important matter of family inheritance?

Beichuan Temple quickly came up with the answer.

What is more important than family inheritance, that should be the ritual to attract the soul to blossom.

In 2009, the Shinto Shrine had been preparing for the next ritual to attract the soul, but in 2010, due to some reason, the ritual failed and the shrine was completely destroyed. Naturally, there is no follow-up record of the marriage ceremony. .

"There should be no error in this inference."

Beichuan Temple stood up.

The lantern above my head swayed under the light of the gloomy candlelight

The undead in the shrine seemed to be affirming Beichuan Temple's conjecture.
