You have to be careful with glutinous rice.
After running for such a long distance without eating or drinking, and with no restaurants nearby, dumplings became the main source of energy for the group.
“Is there anything famous here?”
While chewing the right side of the dumpling with red bean paste, he asked Haohmaru who was also eating a dumpling next to him.
The man on the right, who obviously has not yet correctly understood the terrible effects of glutinous rice, is eating his fourth skewer of rice today. Depending on the strength of his gastric motility and digestion, he may be seen by a man with open mouth and closed eyes tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
"If I have to say, Fushimi Inari Taisha is probably the most famous place here."
Bawangmaru resisted the urge to pull out the cork of the wine gourd and take a sip, so he swallowed the dumpling, wiped his mouth and continued speaking.
"It is said that Fushimi Inari Taisha is a place where fox spirits are enshrined, and they protect the area from bad weather and good harvests. However, the latest saying is that because of the protection of fox spirits, there are very few evil spirits here, and miasma is unlikely to erode the land here.
I didn’t really believe this at first, but now it seems to be true.”
Since I traveled directly through different areas, the contrast was very obvious after my personal experience. The area where Fushimi Inari Taisha is located is indeed much cleaner than other areas.
Suddenly, Haohmaru smiled with a hint of sarcasm.
"It's funny to say that there are evil gods like the Dark God in this world, so naturally there are corresponding gods of justice. Unfortunately, the evil gods are trying to erode the entire earth, while the gods of humans only know how to guard their own little piece of land. It's really ironic."
“I cannot agree with this statement.”
A familiar voice suddenly broke in from the right.
Youfang and Haohmaru turned their eyes to the side at the same time, and then Youfang saw a more familiar red-haired and super handsome face.
It turned out to be Kurama-san with a single ponytail!
Kurama put his hands on the shoulders of Asakura Ye, who was wearing noise-canceling headphones and couldn't hear any of the other people's conversation. Asakura Ye raised her head in a daze and saw an acquaintance.
The dark red kimono looked a little thin, with the chest slightly open, which gave her an inexplicably astringent look. She was wearing wooden clogs on her feet, which was completely different from her usual attire.
The women working around subconsciously focused their attention on the beautiful Kurama, but due to the current trend, women other than the prostitutes were still quite conservative. They admired Kurama with a bit of evasiveness, but still couldn't help but admire her.
Even the young Onmyoji Ichijo Ming couldn't help but nail Kurama.
I can only say that King Zhou’s feelings are understandable.
I don’t know why, but Youfang feels that the cross scar and the sword are missing from Kurama’s face now.
Kurama smiled at Youfang and Haohmaru.
"Those who save others must first learn to save themselves. Only when they can ensure their own safety can they proceed to the next step. As the saying goes, blackening is three times stronger than whitening, and three times weaker. Isn't it natural that the power of darkness is strong in this background setting? Otherwise, what's the point of setting up heroes like you and me?"
Kurama suddenly said something that only the players could understand, but Haohmaru, as an NPC, could not understand at all.
The right side has a black line on its face.
At this time Kurama turned around and continued.
"Come with me. Tamamonomae and Genbu-no-Ou know you are coming, and they are waiting for you at Fushimi Inari Taisha."
Chapter 719: The Popular Frontier of the Edo Period
On the right, we can see that under Kurama’s personal identity, there is an additional description of “reincarnation of a fox demon”.
Although Kurama himself uses demonic energy and was indeed a fox demon who roamed the demon world in his previous life, in the background setting he used his soul to reincarnate as Minamino Shuichi, which means that this body is still a pure human being, and this identity is obviously more in line with having his birthplace hung in the Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, which enshrines fox spirits.
Along the way, one can see that passers-by showed a considerable degree of awe towards Kurama. However, Youfang, who had a more outstanding observation ability, couldn't help but notice the strange looks from the women, and even many men showed the same look.
To put it nicely, Kurama's expression now is serious, but to put it bluntly, it's a dead horse face.
Originally, Kurama thought that since he was from Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine or lived in this era, there would be fewer people peeking at his appearance, but he didn't expect that it would become even more serious.
This time, not only women harassed him, but men also joined in the harassment.
The last time I came here with Ma Cang Ye and Liehuo, I had already vaguely felt that something was wrong with the social atmosphere, so after leaving the copy, Kurama went back to study it. It turned out that he really didn't expect that this weird and twisted thing called "Zhongdao" would be at the forefront of social trends at this point in time!
And the most terrifying thing is that this thing came from the Tang Dynasty, and it is said that it was spread by a high monk!
For those who are exposed to this period of history for the first time, it is really destructive to their worldview.
The various practices that were once prevalent only among the rich and powerful and the samurai class have now obviously become more prevalent among the common people. Although these common people dare not really do anything, they certainly cannot be stopped from fantasizing about beautiful beings in their minds.
They didn't dare to do anything to the real fox fairy, so Kurama, who was almost as beautiful but of lower status, inevitably became the focus of attention.
This feeling is even worse than being drawn as a team with the person on the right.
Youfang has been jumping back and forth in various ways these past two days, exploring the map and killing monsters, and he really hasn't had time to pay attention to this thing. Besides, his appearance is not good enough to attract men, women, young and old, so he really doesn't know much about the existence of these things.
I can only say that everyone has their own way of playing. Who made you look so handsome?
On the road, you can see animal-shaped Shikigami patrolling the streets. Ordinary people are obviously accustomed to the existence of these Shikigami and do not show any special reaction.
When these Shikigami saw the team led by Kurama, they nodded to Kurama and then let it go, which showed that they had already received instructions from the caster.
Along the way, Youfang was also exchanging some information with Kurama.
Although Kurama received the information that Youfang brought people here from the Inari god enshrined in the shrine, he actually had no idea what Youfang had done. Not only him, but everyone else in the team was basically ambiguous about what Youfang had done yesterday.
However, just as the right side cleared his throat and wanted to show off casually, he was stopped by Kurama.
"Let's talk about it when we get there. There might be evil spies here."
Kurama whispered to the guys on the right.
Although the area around the shrine is patrolled by shikigami and has natural suppression from the terrain, it does not mean that they have no enemies.
Perhaps an ordinary person is the source of information for some highly intelligent evil spirits.
There will be no signs of being controlled on these ordinary people, because their behavior, which can be said to be equivalent to betraying the justice camp, may be just for some silver.
In this world where demons are rampant, survival itself is a difficult thing. Even if there were no demons at all, the living conditions of the lower-class people would still be very bad. In order to survive, many people can do anything.
He nodded, indicating that it was his own negligence, and then retracted his casual demeanor.
Because of this little episode, everyone became less talkative and started walking faster. Soon, they saw an extremely conspicuous bright red torii gate not far away on the right. On one side of the torii gate stood a huge stone tablet about 4 meters high, engraved with the six large characters "Fushimi Inari Taisha".
It is obvious that this place serves as a gate.
Behind this are several surrounding mountains, and the shrine is among them.
Youfang is, after all, an expert in spell programming. Even though his level is not very high, his eyesight is still there. He easily saw the boundary line of the protective spell.
"Purification" and "Exorcism", in his own unique way, Youfang realized that this protective barrier only had these two attributes at work, but its strength was quite high. Youfang estimated that if he threw out an ordinary beast claw, it might not even last 5 seconds and would be reduced to ashes on the spot.
In other words, this is actually used specifically to resist demons. Perhaps the small number of demons in Fushimi is also related to the power overflowing from this barrier.
If he entered, it would be equivalent to temporarily sealing his ability to summon low-level black beasts.
There's no way. No matter how human Youfang is, every thing he summons is essentially a dark creature. They are all various styles constructed with vampire factors as the main body, and they will be vulnerable to damage from this kind of high-level purifying holy light.
Even Digimon will not be affected, because Digimon also use vampire factors to back up their data. Perhaps only the creator's doll will not be affected.
Youfang patted the turtle shell in his arms, and the pulling force did correspond to the area in front of him.
The moment Youfang stepped into the Torii, the slight mental fatigue caused by not sleeping for a whole night was suddenly recovered a lot, and the effect of "Spear of Gaia" that had been deliberately blocked by Youfang suddenly popped up, and the blood volume soared to nearly 30 red hearts, and the warm power began to gather from the soles of the feet to the top of the right head.
The reason why Youfang had been actively blocking the effect of this title was purely because the additional health increase from this title could not be replenished. As someone who had to constantly consume red hearts to summon, Youfang did not want to see the additional and non-replenishable heart container being consumed so early. This resulted in Youfang not having activated the effect of this title since he had obtained it, and instead made the consumption of this additional health become dispensable.
It's not that the right party doesn't understand the relationship between them, it's just that it simply feels awkward and they don't like to use it. It's like always rounding up the numbers when buying something and swiping the card in the hope that this time the numbers after the decimal point can be perfectly swiped. There's no special meaning to this, but they just want to do it.
At this moment, a puff of smoke suddenly appeared in front of Youfang's eyes, scaring him so much that he instinctively took a step back.
A sign suddenly emerged from the smoke and appeared in front of the right side.
It said "The prank was a success!" and added a lot of eye-catching background elements.
Hakuno Kishinami held up a sign that his prank was successful, puffed out his not-so-big chest, breathed out through his nose with a little excitement, and gave a proud expression to the person on his right who took a step back, as if to say, "Come and praise me."
Chapter 720 Just Spoil Her
"You are worthy of being my little Master, awesome!"
The most powerful Inari god enshrined in Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine at this time is rubbing the girl with the third highest eyebrows in the class in his arms with a doting look on his face.
Since this is the edge of the shrine area, many civilians try to settle down outside the designated area even if they cannot enter. This resulted in Tamamonomae being seen clearly by the people around her when she jumped out with her Master.
With a loud clatter, a group of people knelt on the ground. This scene was even more spectacular than the previous one where Asia was worshipped as Amaterasu. However, in a sense, this loving fox wife who was madly doting on her master was more suitable for this title.
Although Youfang had thought that Kishinami Hakuno might show up when he knew that Fushimi Inari Taisha enshrined foxes, he really didn't expect that this person would actually launch a sneak attack!
It seems that this silent girl has become a lot more cheerful recently. I remember that she used to have a more poker face.
He found an angle on the right that Kishinami Hakuno couldn't see and made eye contact with his beloved fox wife.
Youfang made a gesture pointing to his mouth, and the loving fox shook his head calmly, then continued to replenish Hakuno's energy and inhaled the body odor of Hakuno Kishinami.
Youfang pinched her chin and thought, it seemed that her aphasia has not been cured yet.
The game Academy Wars does an excellent job in dream simulation. Some people who cannot use their hands and feet for various reasons in real life can move freely in their dreams. However, for mental things like aphasia, as long as the player still believes that he cannot speak, he will still not be able to speak in the game.
Things on the spiritual level are always so difficult to repair.
The current scene is extremely lively. If it weren't for the civilians' fear of the gods that prevented them from attacking Inari Taisha, they would probably have been surrounded by three layers of enemies just like Tamamonomae on the right.
But at this moment, a large number of people dressed as priests and shrine maidens rushed out from the nearby Tamayama Inari Shrine and headed straight for Tamamonomae.
Most of these people looked panicked.
"Lord Inari! You can't wear revealing clothes like a prostitute and let ordinary people see you!"
"Lord Inari! Majesty! Majesty!"
"Inari-sama..."
Most of the guys who usually look down on others with their nostrils as eye sockets lost the personalities they had constructed in their daily lives at this moment, as if Tamamonomae's behavior had directly torn off some kind of fig leaf.
"My friends are here, please be quiet."
Tamamonomae, who was extremely cold to people other than acquaintances, covered Zabiko's ears with both hands while holding the "?" sign, and spoke to her "subordinates" in a voice cold enough to make ice chips fall off.
The witch goddesses fell into silence.
"Elbow~ Follow me into the house~"
Tamamonomae turned around and smiled as quickly as a Sichuan opera face-changing, then waved to them on the right.
Kurama held his forehead and shrugged his right shoulder, obviously not intending to express any opinion on this.
At least the scene we see before us shows that Tamamonomae doesn't actually have a very good relationship with the people here.
Because of her identity, Tamamonomae was arranged to go to Fushimi Inari Taisha when she entered the Gintama plot, and the Inari God appeared there. This naturally made the practitioners who worshipped the Inari God ecstatic.
But, how could Tamamonomae be someone who would stay still and be content?
It is better to say that all fox spirits, whether good or evil, love to play pranks and disturb people.
Making trouble is one of the sources of Tamamonomae's happiness. Of course, no happiness can compare to being affectionate with her own little Master. What's more, it is a rare opportunity for the two of them to be alone together. The golden guy and the red guy are not here. This rare opportunity should be enjoyed.
However, the problem is that due to the special nature of her current identity, Tamamonomae is in disguised form bound to Fushimi Inari Taisha.
It’s not that you can’t go out and play whenever you want, but you have to meet certain conditions.
To put it simply, as long as Tamamonomae can find other fox fairies with sufficient magical powers to take his place, he can take Kishinami Hakuno out to play.
It is possible to force your way out, but without the "mascot", Fushimi Inari Taisha will lose its powerful purifying and exorcising barrier.
Yes, the strength of the barrier sensed on the right is actually achieved with the blessing of Tamamonomae. If Tamamonomae does not sit in charge of the shrine, this level of barrier will directly fall back to a relatively primary level, and can only be maintained by the priestess and the god.
Tamamonomae naturally didn't care about their life or death, but the little girl Zabiko was kind-hearted, so they stayed here for the whole day.
It would be fine if these priests and shrine maidens treated them as invisible people, but this group of people actually brought out various rules of the shrine and tried to make Tamamonomae's image more full and majestic. This directly made Tamamonomae, who hated other people's rules the most, feel annoyed from the bottom of her heart.
However, just before her patience reached its limit, the Black Tortoise took the initiative to come to her.
With the old man's reminder, Tamamonomae used the prototype of the eight-foot mirror in his hand to see the scene on the right where they were about to arrive, which led to the scene just now.
Tamama Inari Shrine is the shrine closest to the foot of the mountain in the entire Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine. It is also the shrine open to ordinary people for worship and prayer. However, it has been temporarily closed for the past two days due to certain circumstances.
On the right, the first thing you see when you step into the shrine is an old man sitting on a large tortoise, smoking his pipe leisurely.
The old man was wearing a big bamboo hat, was short, had a white beard, and looked even smaller than the tortoise under his butt.
The overall atmosphere and body shape of the smoking old man are very similar to those of Hua Fengyuan and Zhong, no wonder they can become friends.
The lid of a fish basket placed next to the elephant tortoise was turned up, and a curious turtle head poked out from it... No, judging from its long and thin mouth, it should be a turtle.
At the same time, there was a smaller turtle lazily lying on the hat. When it saw the object on the right, it raised its head very quickly, and its small eyes stared straight at the chest on the right.
The shell in the right arm is reacting to it.
