I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

Chapter 104 103. This is a song that brings good luck

"Mask. This shape, is it from the red leaves?"

Lu Jian recognized this mask.

He leaned over to pick it up, the mask was real.

"She left it here to guide me?"

Lu Jian pondered, he thought for a while, and opened his mouth.

"Good luck brings good luck to you, good luck brings joy and love"

In this silent world, Lu Jian sang "Good Luck".

This festive song echoed among the torii gates, resounding through this quiet land.

Lu Jian sang while looking around, he felt as if the stars beside him were bright.

While singing, Lu Jian suddenly saw a face approaching him on the dark road.

He stopped singing.

".What are you singing?"

Hongye was holding the lantern, with a slightly embarrassed expression on her face, as if she was considering whether to just leave Lu Lian behind and go to the shrine alone.

"This is a song in my hometown that can bring good luck. Do you want to learn it?"

Lu Jian asked enthusiastically.

"no need"

Hongye raised the lantern to illuminate Lu Jian's body, and after confirming it, she felt relieved.

"As I said, don't fall into the shadows. The torii gate on this road is not just a decoration, but also a kind of enchantment, which is used to imprison monsters."

"I just saw a witch on the road."

Lu Jian said immediately.

"Witch?"

Hongye was thoughtful, and motioned for Lu Jian to follow. Seeing him walking behind her, she pulled him up again, and stood side by side with her, arms clinging to each other.

"Each shrine is actually a cage. Using torii gates, spells, and barriers, we will store the filth near the island. Every New Year, Lord Miko will take action to remove all these filth. Purify."

Hongye explained that her clothes were attached to Lu Lian's exposed arms with short sleeves. The texture of the silk was very subtle, and the arms of the two came into contact through the clothes from time to time, confirming each other's existence.

"In other words, those dirty things will be suppressed in the shrine for a whole year?"

Lu Jian couldn't help asking.

"If there is a problem in the middle,

What should I do if I run out? "

"The purification fire of the Son of God cannot be extinguished, so each purification will cause a certain area to be permanently discarded and cannot be used for a long time. As for the leakage problem, aren't we investigating it now?"

Hongye raised her eyebrows.

"Since the side effects of Jinghuo are so great, why use this to exorcise evil spirits, can't other methods work?"

Lu Jian had no time to feel Hongye's softer arm than expected, and only asked curiously.

"...At least, the net fire can make human beings destroyed later."

There was a hint of helplessness in Hongye's tone.

"Master Shenzi is amazing. She has endured a burden that ordinary people cannot bear. The reason why I want to become Shenzi is not for fame and power. When I was young, the village encountered filth, and it was Shenzi's purification fire that rescued me. Come out, and from then on, I take it as my duty to be that kind of person.”

"But you failed to become the Son of God."

Lu Jian said subconsciously.

".That's because I'm not capable enough. The current Son of God, she used to be my good friend. I know her very well. She is gentle, strong, and has the power to overcome all difficulties. She is indeed the best candidate to become the Son of God."

Hongye sighed, went up the stairs, and grabbed Lu Jian's wrist.

The calluses on her tiger's mouth and fingertips rubbed against Lu Lian's skin, which was different from ordinary girls, and had a different feeling.

"Maybe you just lack luck, how about I teach you to sing the song just now, it can really bring good luck."

Lu Jian said something persistently.

".No need."

The red leaves passed through the last step and passed through the long tunnel formed by the torii gates. In front of it was the dark Hejima Shrine.

"By the way, I saw on the island that some people could recover even if they were fatally injured. Is this also a kind of pollution?"

Lu Jian looked at the magnificent building and asked casually.

"Is that how it looks to you?"

Hongye let go of Lu Ban's hand.

The fog on the mountain seems to be thinner, more stars can be seen, and it is brighter.

"In my eyes?"

Lu Jian didn't know why.

"The form of pollution is not just a loss of sanity and madness, but more of a cognitive change, or self-alienation."

Hongye briefly explained a few sentences.

"Those polluted things are not in human form anymore, just like the man you saw knocked down by a rickshaw during the day, he is essentially just a mass of dirty flesh and blood."

".That is to say, he is human in my eyes, but in fact he is not?"

Lu Jian inhaled slightly.

"That's right, we call this kind of obstacle. It's the same as invisibility and change. The more you understand the world, the harder it is to be hindered by obstacles. It seems that you know more than you show. .”

Momiji walked towards the shrine.

"Are we going to walk in like that?"

Lu Jian followed behind her.

"What did I just tell you?"

Hongye stopped for a while and asked with a sideways head.

"Good luck?"

Lu Jian replied immediately.

"barrier."

Hongye is helpless.

"I'm using the barrier technique now, normal witches can't see us, as long as you are close enough, just like just now."

"I see!"

Lu Yi felt that this ability seemed very convenient.

If I can master such an ability, wouldn't I be able to ride the roller coaster infinitely without queuing up!

He couldn't help but look forward to it.

Lu Jian and Hongye held hands and walked towards the worship hall.

There was indeed no one at the shrine at night, and the lonely money box was empty. Hongye came to the front of the temple and looked around.

"Strange, even at night, the shrine should still have people staying behind."

The tall and majestic building is like a monster at this moment, with its teeth and claws open, and the shadow it casts is palpitating.

Behind that pillar, under those shimenawa ropes, and behind the ema, there seemed to be something spying on the two of them, waiting for an opportunity.

"It seems that no one has been here for a long time."

Lu Jian stretched out his hand and lightly touched the Sai money box. He just glanced at it, and there was indeed no money in it.

The fingertips are dusty and thick, it doesn't look like someone cleaned it.

"You just said, how long ago was Utashima invaded by fog?"

"A month ago."

Hongye seemed to have thought of something, dragged Lu Bang and walked quickly towards the main hall.

Then, Hongye and Lu Jian saw the desperate scene.

Maidens in white gowns and scarlet hakamas were sitting by the side of the road, lined up and facing each other.

They were all wearing social masks and remained motionless.

Behind the miko stood a man in a white safari, with the same mask covering his face, also motionless.

These people seem to be holding a grand and important ceremony, with a solemn feeling.

At the end of the road, on a platform, sat a priestess.

The miko didn't wear a mask, showing her face.

It was a face that was pale and blue and black, seemingly lifeless.

She kept the posture of sitting upright, and just died on it.

Lu Jian is also very clear at this moment that all the people present are dead.

They have been dead for a month.

From the very beginning, when the fog of uncertainty invaded, all the people in Utashima Shrine were wiped out.

Their bodies were not even moved and handled, and they were just on display here.

"So."

Lu Jian thought.

"When we went to the island, who was the executive who inspected us?"
