People of all kinds of weirdness lined up in a row, standing at the front, nervously clutching their skull claws.
"Sir, what do you think our family is missing?"
Gongsun Ce looked at him intently and asked, "Miss Shigure, are you sure you can't see him?"
Rei Shigure said enthusiastically: "I can't see it, I can only hear the sound and smell the sea breeze."
After Gongsun Zhi thought about it, he made up his mind. He switched to common language and said: "You are lacking nothing except a memory."
"How to say?"
"You don't know what you look like, do you?"
Ichimoku entered the road nervously and took a sip of wine: "...I can't see clearly what I look like."
really. Even they themselves cannot detect the hidden appearance of the Hidden Gods. If you can't break the confusion, how can you see the alienation...
"This is because you don't know your origins and don't know yourself, so of course you can't give yourself an 'image'. You have been staying on Ling Island since you can remember it, so you naturally feel that you are a Ling Island person... "The gray-haired young man raised his fingers and pointed at the invisible pirate hat, blue coat and sailor knife one by one, "But your outfit is incompatible with Ling Island. You look like a pirate who sailed to the nearby and got into trouble. How can you be Ling Island? A native creature on the island? Captain Jerrock Daddario, your name is written on the tag on your clothes!"
Ichimoku entered the road angrily and slammed the table: "You are talking nonsense! How can I be a long-haired devil!"
Gongsun Ce pushed up his glasses and said with a smile: "Then why do you naturally speak Common Tongue when I speak?"
As soon as he entered the Tao, he felt as if he was struck by lightning. Only then did he realize that what came out of his mouth was actually the language of overseas people!
The skeleton pirate's memories came back all at once. He took two steps back, raised his left hand, took off his hat with his right hand and placed it on his chest, saluting the young man.
"Young foreigner, Captain Jerlock thanks you for your help." He took off the fishing rod from his back and placed it on the table.
"My treasure sank together with the boat, and only this fishing rod is left..." His chin trembled, as if smiling, "Please accept it, young man. May the sea breeze protect your future." .”
"Oh, no, you're too polite..." Gongsun Ce was about to decline, but the skeleton pirate had already turned into light and disappeared. Slightly embarrassed, he took the fishing rod behind the stool and placed it: "Next please!"
·
Half an hour later.
"It's miserable, I hope Xiaoce and the others don't cause trouble!"
"I'm sorry, Rina. Grandma, she is so unreasonable."
The miko in a hoodie hurriedly ran out from the direction of the stage, and Hua in a fox mask followed her in small steps. "Obviously it was decided to let me play the role from the beginning..."
"It doesn't matter, Sister Hua, it's our responsibility in the first place!"
Due to the temporary change of dancer candidates, Fushimi's mother-in-law hurriedly explained some precautions to her. As a result, Rina was able to escape until now and "escaped" with Hana who was dancing the Kagura dance. She prayed with all her heart that the two guests would not make a big fuss - based on her understanding of these two people, the probability of them making trouble was 100%, the only difference was the size.
"...Sister Hua, something is wrong."
Rina only took a few steps before she frowned.
The abnormality of the festival is almost clear at a glance: the north side of the street is deserted, as if the festival has ended early, there are not many customers, and even the stall owners are missing a lot; while the south side of the street is a lively scene, and the hidden gods are in chaos. They were all crowded at the other end of the street.
"Is it a ninja?" Hua Fa asked. Rina sniffed. "I don't smell blood..."
She hurriedly squeezed to the south side with the shrine maiden of Inari Shrine. She just took a look and screamed in surprise: "This, this is?!"
But I saw all kinds of monsters and monsters lined up neatly in a long line, with expectations and joy on the faces of every hidden god. There were extremely reassuring light spots floating in the air. The surrounding atmosphere was peaceful, and from time to time I would see When Youni becomes a god and returns to the light, it is as if an expert held a salvation meeting to help all the demons and demons ascend to heaven!
The gray-haired superpower was sitting at the small table at the front of the team, carefully looking at a nervous-looking hairy monster, and discussing something with Rei Shigure on the side. Rina ran to the team table and screamed frantically: "We've only been away for half an hour! What have you done?!!!"
The superpower clapped his hands: "Miss Rina, you came at the right time! I can't take my attention for a while, please help me introduce the origin of this god and what kind of offerings he likes."
Rina subconsciously replied: "This is the Lord Dorothy who guards the temple and specializes in punishing those who are disrespectful to gods and Buddhas..."
"The temple...that's how it is." The person with superpowers made a string of Buddhist beads and handed it over, "Master Doro only remembers to protect the majesty of the treasure place, but forgets his own practice of chanting sutras and reciting the Buddha. How can he achieve this by being so careless about the beginning and the end? Is your wish fulfilled?”
The long-haired monster was twirling Buddhist beads, and its evil-looking face revealed a bit of solemnity. "It's true, it's true! The benefactor's words are like a wake-up call to wake people up. Poor monk Doro, thank the benefactor for your success!"
After that, another hidden god who had lived for hundreds of years disappeared. Rei Shigure made a note in his notebook: "Well done, No. 33, please invite the next one~"
"Already 33 people have been saved in just over half an hour?!"
"Actually, it could have been faster." Gongsun Ce rubbed his head and said, "The main reason is that neither of us understands the characteristics of hiding the gods very well, so we can only rely on basic observations and guessing one by one. We still haven't seen the crux just now. , I can only apologize and let him go first..."
The little witch became anxious when she heard this: "If you had told me earlier, we would also come to help! Sister Hua, please go and tell your mother-in-law, maybe it can be used in other places!!"
"Ah, okay!" The fox-faced witch finally came back to her senses, "I'll go find my mother-in-law right now!"
The flower ran away in a hurry, and the trio continued their efficient and overworked work...
·
"This, what should we do?!"
In Weiyuan City, the long-haired dragon worshiper was so anxious that he chewed the pencil with his mouth. The Fujin point column in the upper right corner of the paper was densely packed with "+1", "+0.5" and "+2"... You can tell at a glance In an actual paranormal situation!
"Lord Fujin God, should I remember it for him? Such many points will seriously affect the future..." The dragon worshiper listened carefully to something and shrank his neck in fear. "aieeee, do you want to set a limit?! But this doesn't comply with your rules..."
"..."
Lord Fujin seemed to be angry, and it took a while before he gave him the order. The dragon admirer said humbly: "Understood, I will leave it all to Master Izu Nomai. I just remember, I just remember."
He picked up the pen with a grimace and continued writing on the paper: +1, +2, +1...
·
The time came to 9:30 at night, and the divination booth of the super-powered person had been open for nearly 3 hours.
After Rina joined, the speed of solving the fortune telling booth has been qualitatively improved. The Eyes of the Netherworld can see through the real body, and Rina provides relevant information. People with super powers can make some guesses and often come up with the right answer. White matter can solve almost all physical disabilities, material needs, and psychological problems under the command of Rei Shigure. In the rare cases where you can't think of a solution for a while, you can write down the basic information first and give it to the priests of Nanyao Shinto for details. Study carefully. Three hours later, nearly half of the monsters and ghosts on the streets have disappeared!
Some of the hidden gods gratefully gave away their belongings before disappearing, such as fishing rods, cloth shoes, magatama, gems... Various gifts were piled up behind the stall, emitting a strange light like neon lights in the city. It's a pity that Gongsun Ce didn't have time to take a closer look at any of them. After three hours of full mental work, he actually needs a rest now.
"Ahem, dear gods, please be patient." Gongsun Ce lowered his voice and made a "intermission" sign with white matter, "My voice is a little hoarse and my brain can't turn around anymore. Let's rest for a while before continuing. . Don’t worry, everyone, I will sit here tonight and will not leave until the matter is resolved."
Rei Shigure's notebook had been thrown aside long ago, and when the number exceeded 100, she stopped taking the time to remember it. The priests went to appease the hidden gods who were waiting in line. The fox-faced flower brought three glasses of ice juice, and Rina hurriedly grabbed them and drank them all in one gulp.
"The last time we talked so much... was... when we took the witch examination..."
Shigure Rei's mouth was dry, but he didn't touch the drink brought by the miko. He just said: "I won't do it! It's already half past nine. I haven't visited any stalls all night. I'm sitting here as a guest monk. What's going on? ah!!"
Gongsun Ce lay down on the table and said weakly: "You are, ah, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, you will be rewarded in the future... Oops, I have a sore throat if I don't say it..."
The flower in the fox mask said with a smile: "Mr. Gongsun is so awesome! You have to know that in our case, if you can help a master of the hidden god to be liberated, you can be called a priest with profound practice. And Mr. Gongsun will help tonight There are even more than a hundred hidden gods!"
Listening to this, Qiyao Shinto also has a supportive attitude towards the salvation of Nishen.
After all, he is a clergyman who serves as a bridge between humans and gods, so it is not surprising that he would have such thoughts...
Rina asked excitedly: "Xiao Ce, how did you do it? Why can you think of a solution just by taking a look and listening to a few explanations?"
The superpower took off his glasses and wiped them with a cloth.
"It's just a little cleverness. As long as you can see through the truth, anyone can do it."
He put on his glasses and explained: "In the final analysis, the reason why the Hidden Gods are so difficult to escape is because of their 'unclear wishes'. This confusion caused their weird behavior and also gave them the ability to recognize themselves. Unexplained alienation in appearance. Miss Rina, what did the hungry kid you saw before look like?"
"The kid with the grimace, his skin is dirty black."
"And the hungry kid I saw had purple skin. You see, this is the difference in the amount of information. If wrong information is used as the premise of inference, even a truly wise man and sage will have a hard time inferring that the gods What they want in their hearts. It is really a remarkable thing that the priests can summarize their behavior patterns and general preferences under such difficult circumstances."
Rina held the straw in her mouth, thoughtfully. The fox-faced flower doesn't seem to understand yet.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gongsun, I still don't understand your process from seeing through the truth to decrypting your wish..."
...Ah, there is another major premise that I forgot to mention.
"I personally infer that the appearance of the hidden gods
of confusion is strongly related to their cognitive impairment. Gongsun Ce explained one by one, "For example, the mirror girl and the faceless, the hungry kid and the purple skin. These characteristics come from their wishes, but due to their own unclear understanding, the Hidden Gods have a different look in everyone's eyes. A false appearance. The most obvious example is Ichimoku. He doesn't even know where he comes from. He only has a vague intuition. Therefore, in the eyes of others and himself, he is just a talking sea breeze. "
In other words, their self-perception affects their appearance. Without knowing their wishes, they will never know their true appearance, and it will be difficult for others who cannot discern their true appearance to provide help. So for thousands of years, these strange creatures have been wandering around Lingdao, doing all kinds of incredible things, all they want is to be satisfied.
Most of the wishes of those who hide themselves from the gods are actually just to return to their original appearance, regain their original abilities, or just simple wishes such as a piece of clothing or a hat...
"Sigh. Even if fishermen, farmers, palace maids, and children hundreds of thousands of years ago had unfulfilled wishes, they would not be unattainable ambitions." The gray-haired young man shook his head and sighed, "Hidden God, in the final analysis , they are all poor people affected by the dragon phenomenon."
The atmosphere at the scene became dull due to these words. Rina squatted down at the table, looking a little sad.
"This is the whirlpool of fate, Xiao Ce. People who pass away with obsessions turn into gods, and people will satisfy their obsessions thousands of years later. The flow of thoughts is just like the reincarnation of Fujin and Zhibi... And when Lord Fukutsugami sees this scene, he will also show a mysterious smile in the vortex."
Will the Dragon of Void Light smile in the world of Fujin?
He thought about the scene of the dragon smiling, and suddenly felt creepy. But thinking about the various visions of Lingdao, he found it difficult to sense the existence of so-called "good" and "evil". The vortex, the hidden god, the misfortune and the direct connection, everything operates in accordance with certain laws in the dark, like the composition of some extremely grand institution that is far beyond the reach of human wisdom. But all this is only because the dragon has been here. The dragon once stayed here, and the face of the world was changed by its power...
"What an apt name for the phenomenon brought about by the giant dragon."
He sighed in a low voice, took the juice sent by the fox-faced miko, and was about to take a sip when he found Rei Shigure glaring at him sideways.
"...I didn't provoke you, did I?"
"No, I'm just a little weird." Rei Shigure sneered, "When did you become so brave?"
"Just say something meaningless." Gongsun Ce took a sip of juice and said, "Miss Rina, when will this festival end?"
"The dance starts at 11:30 and ends on time at 12 o'clock. We may have to leave first after the meeting."
Then you have to hurry up.
Gongsun Ce drank the juice and removed the sign: "Intermission is over, next one please!"
·
So, another hour and a half later.
Rina went to prepare for a dance performance not long ago, and Hana, who was idle, became her assistant. At eleven o'clock at night, the venue of the gathering ceremony was really deserted. The team in front of the superpower stall finally saw its end.
"Thank you, Master...you have a safe life."
A jet-black armor turned into light and floated away, bringing an end to Gongsun Ce's volunteer work tonight. The superpower person habitually spoke: "The next one... is gone?"
"There are quite a few more. I asked them to come back tomorrow to give you some time to watch the festival. I hope you won't be offended."
A soft and soft voice reached his ears. Gongsun Ce looked up and saw a big fluffy tail. He quickly stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty the God of Food Jin."
The fox-faced landlady rolled her eyes and said, "Why don't the guests take a look at it for me?"
The superpower sneered and said: "How can you, a prosperous god like you, have any wish that I can realize? I think what you care about is no longer the obsession of the past, but the current goal."
The fox god shook his tail.
"Guest, you are really a smart man... As you said, now I am the patron saint of business. If everyone can get what they want and make good deals, I will be satisfied."
There were far fewer people on the street at this time, but there were still some inhuman things doing business. Rei Shigure asked in confusion: "Where are those guys? Is it possible that they don't want to be freed?"
"Be it humans or gods, they all have their own way of living. After adapting to the life of becoming a hidden god, it is understandable that you want to continue living like this." Gongsun Ce stood up, holding on to the table. Stretched, "Let's go! Let's see if we have enough materials to build weapons."
Just as he was about to take back the white matter table, he noticed that the fox god had put his paws on the table.
"Master Yujinjin?"
"It's better not to rush out of this stall yet, right?" The fox proprietress smiled, "Maybe later, some god will want to come?"
Are you thinking of coming again? Obviously you just asked them to come back tomorrow... The superpower thought for a moment and raised his hand: "Okay, no problem."
After Yu Chuishen finished speaking, he walked away alone. Gongsun Ce put away the various objects behind him, turned to look at the fox-faced witch, and asked: "I'm going to the blacksmith shop, do you want to come with Yingwu=san?"
You are a genius, remember in one second: Red Oasis:
