(*′?`)ノThe truth of Zero Island is also conveyed to you today.
The forest coverage rate of Chikushi Island is about 37%. Harmonious coexistence with nature is a simple concept passed down from generation to generation by local people. There are not only koalas and hares in the wild forest, but also wild boars and giant snakes. Be careful when going sightseeing in the forest

Wilderness, forest at night. The inhuman-looking children beside the stream sang songs from strange stories.
This picture is quite suitable to be used as a ghost story in ancient times, but ghost stories are often scary because the protagonist in the story has no ability to resist. If every protagonist in a ghost movie had standard equipment produced in the Sky City, then the thriller would almost become a gunfight movie; if the protagonists in the ghost movie were replaced by college white coats, then this movie would be directly transformed into a close-up movie. A new scientific project.
Therefore, Gongsun Ce had no fear at all. He only felt that the little thing looked quite unique. He might be one of the countless hidden gods on Lingdao, one of the so-called "eight million gods".
What happened next made him feel even less nervous.
Miss Izumo in a hoodie knelt down and looked straight at the bean washer: "Lord Vagus, they are guests of the shrine. If you continue to play pranks after accepting the offerings, I will punish you."
There was nothing unusual about Shigure's face, it was just something he was used to. Gongsun Ce, a foreigner, could only lament that the local witches on Lingdao were so full of martial virtue that they dared to say "retreat" to the gods.
"Ah, ah..." the bean-washing boy called twice, "But, Rina, he has bad luck today! He will get lost. He will get lost before he leaves the forest."
As luck would have it, this is the second time the Bean Washer has mentioned this statement. Gongsun Ce was moved in his heart and asked, "Can I say a few words to him?"
"Don't be too rough, this guy won't hurt anyone."
Rina stood up after giving instructions. Gongsun Ce squatted by the river, staring at this weird guy. The superpower said seriously: "Lord Vagus God, I found that your voice is very clear!"
"...Huh?" The bean-washing boy was obviously stunned.
"Now is an era when there is a shortage of capable child stars. Have you ever considered pursuing a career in the entertainment industry? A gifted person like you is unique. I think many companies will be happy to invite you to do advertisements."
Rei Shigure covered his face with his hands and thought to himself that you are someone who can talk nonsense even with Nishin.
The bean-washing boy scratched his chin and grinned.
"Yeah, yeah! Really? Really? You are really discerning!"
"I never lie." Gongsun Ce said with a smile, "Look, a discerning person like me knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. How can I have bad luck?"
The bean-washing boy shook his head and said with a smile: "It's gray, your connection. Bad luck, bad luck." It showed the two beans again: "Do you want to eat beans? Do you want to eat glutinous rice cakes?"
Gongsun Ce's hair is indeed gray, but now the programmer he is pretending to be is a black-haired man. He didn't think hair color would affect "luck." The gray color the bean-washing boy mentioned might be referring to something he didn't know about... and it was more likely that the little guy was making fun of him.
Gongsun Ce asked the witch: "Miss Rina, in the traditional customs of Lingdao, what does it mean when the gods give you something to eat?"
Rina put her pockets in her pocket and said, "The personalities of the Hidden Gods are different and have nothing in common. I can't tell you whether they are good or bad. The Vagami-sama has a simple personality. If he wants to give you something, he won't want to harm you. But..." Rina Izumo thought for a while and added, "If you refuse a gift, the god will be angry. This is a truth reflected in many stories."
The consequences of accepting a gift are uncertain, while refusing a gift will make Nishen angry. He kept this custom in mind.
He looked at Shigure Rei again. She, who was also from Rei Island, had been silent from the beginning. He thought this was a sign of disdain from the other party. But this look made him wary——
Beside the big tree behind Shigurei, a gray corner of clothes was exposed, which looked very much like sleeves.
Either he was dazzled and saw the wrong object, or someone was standing behind the tree, spying on what was happening here!
Gongsun Ce kept turning his head, looked at his good partner and said, "What do you think?"
Shigure Rei rolled his eyes in return: "I don't believe this."
She hasn't noticed anything wrong yet. Kirara and Izumo Rina didn't send any reminders, so...it's most likely because of the Nether Child. This boy with eyes made him see things he shouldn't have seen again!
Vagus God was still squatting in front of him, waiting for his reply. In the blink of an eye, the person with superpowers had a certain idea in his mind.
"Master Vagus God, I want to eat beans." He took out an energy bar, which was a high-energy food supplement on the plane. "But I, a mortal, am too embarrassed to take God's gift for nothing. I can exchange this with you." ?"
"Ah..." The bean washer boy took a whiff and said, "Those need 3 pods. Just 3 pods!"
Without saying anything, Gongsun Ce took out two more energy bars and put them both in the child's hands. Vagus God smiled and gave him a red bean in return. "You, you won't get lost today." After leaving these words, it grabbed the basket and jumped into the stream, drifting away along the current.
Rina bent down, the smile on her face reminded him of the little fox.
"You come from the capital of the sky, and you really respect the gods." Miss Miko said lazily, "That's a good thing. If you respect the gods, your luck will not be bad."
Gongsun Ce actually did not believe in the theory of gods and ghosts. After all, even the giant dragon revered as the God of Disaster has been killed with his own hands, and any weird things that come his way can only be defeated by analyzing their weaknesses. He just felt that the other party showed goodwill and he should pay corresponding respect. If you can call the gods a few words without losing a piece of meat, why not do it?
Besides... there might be a god more decent than Vagus God, watching him from behind.
At this time, Rei Shigure, who had been quiet, spoke, with an imperceptible contempt in her words. "You are obviously a human god, but you still treat this little guy as an adult?"
"The gods are still human after all, Miss Yukimi." The miko's tone also became colder.
What's the matter with these two people, you've already left the martial arts association and Junfeng, and you still have to deal with your past enemies like this! Gongsun Ce quickly smoothed things over: "I'm sorry, Miss Rina. My wife is from a city and is not very fond of traditional customs!"
Shigurei used a black arrow to pierce the power of the protective thought behind his back, and then pinched him hard.
"You have to understand me. My dear, I am different from an ignorant citizen like you. I am an urban beauty."
Rina smacked her lips and stopped arguing with her. The three of them set off again.
As they receded from the forest, a stream of bubbles appeared in the stream. The child-like Vagus God poked his head out and looked at the direction in which the three of them were leaving.
"It's delicious, it's delicious." It chewed the energy bar, "Yin Dou can be sold to adults, do you want to eat it?"
A delicate hand wrapped in a gray sleeve stretched out from the darkness and took an energy bar from the child's hand.
The child washed the beans again. "Is that person a very powerful person?"
"He must be a smart person."
Vagus finished his energy bar and dove back into the creek. Silence returned to the forest.

A certain single-family house in Weihara Castle.
The dragon worshiper was scratching his head at the table. He noted down the second die number not long ago: compatibility 1d100:7510=65]
"I didn't reject it and didn't accept it. I exchanged it for something. Then... then... Lord God, should I give him a point?"
The long-haired man listened carefully to something, and finally nodded solemnly: "You are right! Respecting the gods should be rewarded!"
He changed the appearance of "Xingxing" back to 75. Then very carefully write in the upper right corner of the recording paper: Direct Adjacent +0.5.
"That's it for today? I understand, Lord God. Hehe, the connection will only get deeper and deeper..." The dragon worshiper smiled darkly, "I look forward to your judgment tomorrow!"

The three of them walked on the dirt road in the countryside.
When Gongsun Ce walked out of the forest, he still didn't see the street lights. The thing closest to modern civilization in his field of vision was the electric wire tower standing in the distance. Coming here from the Capital of the Sky, he felt very uncomfortable, as if he had been thrown into an unknown remote place.
Rina used her mobile phone to illuminate the scene as a matter of course. "We are a small place. You have to take a tram to the nearest town. There is one train every day."
"Ms. Rina looks like a high school girl from a big city. I thought I was about to enter the city after leaving the forest."
"Really?" Miss Miko's voice sounded very happy, "We have been to Weiyuan Castle before. That place is very noisy at night, making it difficult to sleep peacefully."
Shigure Rei gave him a sarcastic look, as if he was chatting up a female high school student. People with super powers feel deeply baffled.
They walked for about ten minutes, and the road they stepped on gradually turned into gray-white gravel. There were ancient stone lanterns lit with fire at intervals on both sides of the road, so Rina no longer had to use her mobile phone for lighting.
Gongsun Ce guessed that this should be the shrine leading to the shrine. Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to see the red torii gate. There were two men wearing white robes and light yellow hakama, dressed as low-level priests, standing on both sides holding lanterns. When they saw Rina Izumo at the head, they quickly bowed and saluted: "Rina-sama!"
"The guest of Xilang Electronics got lost when he went to the forest to play. I happened to come back and took him along the way." Rina walked into the shrine first. Just as Gongsun Ce was about to follow, he was glared at by the priest guarding the door.
"You guy! You've caused so much trouble for Rina-sama, don't you have anything to say?"
The superpower suddenly understood. "aieeeee!" He pretended to be startled, looked nervous and frightened, and said in a low voice: "I'm really sorry..."
"Be in awe, you bastard!" the priest yelled even louder, "The gods are watching you, bastard!" The priest's face was like a gangster in a TV series, so scary!
"aieeee..."
Gongsun Ce shook himself up in cooperation, while Shigure Rei slyly hid behind his "lover" like a weak woman. Rina stopped them with words: "It's not a big deal, don't do this!" Then the two priests gave up and let them in.
"Sorry, they treat ordinary people a little bit..." Rina apologized in a low voice, and Gongsun Ce laughed it off. The priests thought that he was the one who got lost and caused trouble for others, so it was understandable that they would be angry. However, he originally thought that his identity was made up casually by the superiors, but he did not expect that Qiyao Shinto actually hired people from Xilang Electronic Club to work.
The two followed Rina into the shrine. You can see the second torii gate in front of the shrine, and further ahead there is a formidable shadow, which is considered to be the worship hall of the shrine. However, Rina did not move forward along the road. Instead, after walking for a while, she led the two of them out of the shrine and came to a big tree with a rope tied to it.
"You two, put your hands on the sacred tree." Rina ordered softly, pressing the bark of the ancient tree first. The two visitors did as they were told. Rina took out a talisman from her pocket and read: "Teleport."
Suddenly, a strong suction force came from the palm of his hand, as if he was going to be sucked into the tree. Gongsun Ce did not resist, but allowed the power to sweep through his body. Two months later, he once again experienced the discomfort of being crushed. The last time it gave him a similar feeling was Rei Shigure's Kage Soran.
·
"!"
After the indescribable discomfort left, Gongsun Ce opened his eyes and found that the three of them were standing in front of an elegant shoji door. The semi-transparent paper between the wooden shelves reflects the shadow of the furniture behind the door. There is a short figure sitting at the small table, waiting for the arrival of visitors.
Gongsun Ce took out his mobile phone and confirmed his location immediately.
Qiluo lay on the ground dizzy, her eyes turned into mosquito-repellent incense, and she held up a sign tremblingly in her hand to show that their position was still in place.
Is this using some kind of space folding technology? Or is it an application of some kind of impermanence that he doesn't know yet? While Gongsun Ce was thinking, Rina had opened the paper door. "Grandma, we have brought the guests."
"Thank you for your hard work, Rina. Go ahead and help the guests arrange beds."
The person speaking this way was an old woman with white hair. She was wearing a white robe called Kosode and a red blouse called Hakama. She was sitting on her knees on a soft cushion on the tatami, smiling kindly at the two guests. She was clearly an elderly miko.
Rina ran to the old miko and said something in her ear, then left first. Gongsun Ce and Shigurei saluted in turn and sat on their knees on the soft cushions in front of the small table, thinking about how to speak.
"I am the god of the Huangquan Shrine, Izumo Fei."
The old miko offered two cups of hot tea, "Mr. Gongsun Ce, Miss Shigure Rei. It's just me and Rina here, you two can feel at ease."
After hearing this, Gongsun Ce knew that this old lady was the real person in charge. He pulled off his mask and took off his helmet, revealing his true face.
"Good evening, Ms. Izumo."
On the side, Shigure Rei, who also took off his disguise, looked at the old woman with a scrutinizing gaze.
"The great shrine maiden of Nanyao Shrine, is it you?"
"As you can see, he is just an old man in his dying years." The old witch said calmly, "You two have bad luck today. I will pray for you two tomorrow morning and wait until the day when your luck improves before we start taking formal actions. Bar."
The old man looked at Gongsun Ce: "I know you must have many questions. Guest, just ask questions and I will tell you the harmless information."
As for the doubts in his heart, there were only a lot more since he set off to Zero Island. The inexplicably accurate divination, the prolonged path of misfortune, the good intentions of the Hidden God, Rina, who is known as the God of Appearance, the so-called "blessing of the God of Misfortune", and the luck that they emphasized several times...
"Excuse me, madam. What I want to know is..." Gongsun Ce thought for a moment and asked directly, "Is the so-called Lord Fujin God the Dragon of Void Light that came three hundred years ago?"
