In the deserted streets in the middle of the night, monsters and ghosts gather in front of the wooden stage. Everything in front of them is like the background of a ghost story, but what is being performed is a dance to worship a kind and straight god. The folding fan dances with the gray sleeves, the bells ring in the sound of elegant music, and the pretty girl wearing gray clothes and gold crown sings ancient legends in the dance.
·
In the ancient past, there was a beautiful woman named Yin Dounengmai on Lingdao. She was kind and intelligent, knew a lot of knowledge, and taught the people how to grow beans.
With her help, the lives of nearby residents are getting better and better. The priests who worshiped the gods heard the rumors and came to investigate. The priests set up various tests to test whether she really had the rumored abilities, but they were all easily resolved.
Yin Dou's intelligence and kindness gained everyone's trust, and everyone elected her to become the new leader. So Yin Douneng became the ruler of Zero Island and served as the great witch of Fujin God. Under her management, everything is in order and everyone has a smile on their face.
However, everything in the world follows the principle of vortex, and it is destined that those who prosper must decline. The cycle of disaster and direct adversity has been out of balance for thousands of years, and the power of disaster has accumulated to its limit during this period.
The God of Fujin informed her witch that she would descend on the divine peak to reorganize her kingdom with rituals of purification.
The great witch conveyed her wishes to everyone, and the people of Zero Island were extremely sad. The coming of the God of Disaster will take away a large number of lives. No one knows what the world will look like!
Yin Dou couldn't bear to see the tragic situation of the lives lost, so she decided to hold a ceremony to sacrifice the gods. Dedicate yourself to the gods with the power of straightness gathered, and exchange the peace of the vortex with the divine marriage.
So Yin Douneng gave up his life, returned to hell, and became the wife of Fujin God.
The direct golden light returned with the shrine maiden, but the god of disaster did not come to the island. Zero Island was finally peaceful, but people lost their kind-hearted witch. People all over the island cried bitterly for the death of Yin Dounengmao, and the crying continued for six days and nights.
The Fujin God in the whirlpool heard everyone's cries. She was moved by people's feelings and gave Yin Dou the identity of a traitorous god, allowing her witch to return from the underworld.
Yin Dou Neng reappeared in front of people, wearing a gray witch costume and a golden crown. She is the wife of the gods and their messenger.
From then on, Yin Dounengmao became the god of good luck and kindness. In order to commemorate the shrine maiden and thank the gods, people hold festivals to honor the gods at the same time every year. The rulers would bring tributes entrusted with the power of straightness to restore balance to the vortex. People's lives can continue, which is the origin of the God of Disaster Festival.

"The Yin beans returned from the underworld can be sold, and they can be hung with golden threads for people. Those who are kind to others will eventually be accompanied by good luck..."
With these words, Rina ended her nearly half-hour dance performance. She walked back to the fox god, bowed like Sakura Wu before, and left.
The Fox God looked at the few spectators in the audience and said with a smile: "This year's wish collection can be said to be an unprecedented success. I would like to express my gratitude to the humans who are working hard for us."
The hidden gods in the audience echoed in unison. Gongsun Ce whispered: "Let's go and find the old gentleman."
"Young, are you shy?"
"I'm thinking about my glasses."
·
When the super-powered person walked to the blacksmith shop, the old blacksmith had already made the things and put them on the cotton cloth. Shigurei's short arrow looked the same as before, and Gongsun Ce's glasses frames were coated with a golden color. He put them on and said awkwardly: "Why do you feel like a gentle scum..."
"Ha!" The old blacksmith was amused by these words, "Listen carefully, these glasses are fixed with peace of mind. As soon as you think about it, the power to protect your soul will naturally come out, once a day, to protect your peace of mind."
Gongsun Ce was about to say thank you when he realized that the old blacksmith had not finished speaking.
"There is another intention, which is a fixed wish. When you fall into an extremely dangerous situation, it may be able to save your life... But how exactly this intention works and how long it will last, I don't know." The old blacksmith Spraying steam, "Your good luck today should be here."
The gray-haired young man solemnly thanked: "Thank you, old sir!"
Father Tata lit an oil lamp and said to Rei Shigure: "Try yours!"
Shigure Rei threw the short arrow onto the road illuminated by the fire. The moment the arrow hit the ground, a dark shadow with a radius of about one meter appeared centered on the arrow.
"This is great." The female hunter exclaimed in surprise, "This way you can pretend to shoot into the air and use the shadow orchids growing in the dark to teleport out of order!"
"I thought you were going to teleport and it turned out to be such an overdone way to use it?!"
"It's so noisy that a weak woman teleports to the enemy to die!"
The old man who finished the business stopped talking. The gray-haired young man looked at his glasses carefully for a while and then asked: "Did the old man do business in Yamato Island before?"
"Shurikens, kunai, katana, armor, ninja costumes... I have done a lot of business with them." Dad Tata said mockingly, "But the world has changed in the past few years, and I don't like old crafts anymore. . It’s all about mechanization, electronic prosthetics, biochemical transformation, and direct neural connections... I don’t know how there is any intention in it! I’m behind the times and can’t stay there anymore. In another hundred or two hundred years, I won’t be able to. It’s time to be laid to rest.”
You have been wielding the hammer for more than a thousand years, so you are no longer out of date...
Seeing that the old man was in a bad mood, Gongsun Ce suddenly had an idea and came up with a good idea.
"You don't have to be so pessimistic. Although modern technology is a bit difficult to understand, it is not necessary to say that there is no intention." He took out the psychic weapon given by the doctor from his suitcase, white face 3.5. "Look at this?"
This is a psychic weapon created by Cecil's laboratory. Based on his understanding of the white coats, this thing is 100% based on technological creations, at least the technological creations of Sky City.
Father Ta Tao took the mask, looked at it with disdain, and then held it up to take a closer look. The light in his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Who made this!"
"Are you interested in giving this special product from my hometown, a modern industrial product, to you?"
"No need." Dad Tao put down his mask, "Modern industry... is too strange... what a strange thing... I'm going to ask the witch!"
The old blacksmith hopped away on one leg. Shigure Rei rolled his eyes and said, "You may have succeeded in making the oldest existing traditional craftsman on Rei Island plan to change careers. I don't know whether you are a good or bad person."
"Isn't it a good thing for an experienced craftsman to have the idea of learning new things? Maybe in a while, Dad Ta Tao will be able to figure out the mental camera and turn off the gun."
"How wicked!" Rei Shigure sighed, "How wicked!"
Gongsun Ce took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. In just over a minute, it will be twelve o'clock sharp. He remembered the fox god's warning and hurried towards the fortune-telling stall that had not been evacuated.
·
Meanwhile, on the other side of the street.
Yingwu put on the mask of the fox and stood in front of the God of Food.
The fox boss lady smiled: "Are you angry because of Fushimi's reaction?"
"How could it be?" The witch shook her head, "My mother-in-law just took this opportunity to vent her dissatisfaction. In fact, she wanted to destroy the ceremony and prevent me from participating in the God of Disaster Festival."
"That person with a weird temper... She was the one who suggested it in the first place, but she regretted it when things happened. In the long-term relationship, I will treat you as a real granddaughter." The fox god said complaining words, but he couldn't see it. With a reproachful look, "Forgive her, Ying Wu. She is already an old man."
"How can you blame her?" Yingwu said softly. She raised the index finger and little finger of her right hand to make a "fox window" gesture that resembled a fox, and lightly touched the simulated fox's mouth on the black nose of the boss's wife.
The landlady shook her head repeatedly, as if she felt itchy. A bit of golden light flickered between Yingwu's fingers and quickly disappeared.
Thanks to old man Fushimi's excuse, the dance that was supposed to be completed by Sakura Mai was forcibly interrupted and replaced by a newcomer. But the ritual is not a necessary result, it is just a step to contact the gods. When the gods appear in front of people, there is no need for complicated rituals and the effect of communication can be achieved.
The hour hand points to 12 at this moment, and a new day has arrived. Yingwu dispersed her gesture and looked at the clear night sky.
"In this way, the necessary direct connections have been collected."
"If you can sell Yin Dou, give it to him at the God of Disaster Festival as before." The fox boss lady's tail drooped, "Yingwu, what do you think?"
"I used to be the god of Zero Island, then I was the shrine maiden of Zero Island, and now I am the ninja of Zero Island." Sakura Mai took off her mask and looked back at the god, "Be it a god or a human, whatever you have to do is completed. It’s your responsibility, nothing more.”
The white-clothed ninja jumped onto the roof and disappeared in the blink of an eye. The fox god thought about his old friend's words and sighed silently.
"The Wish Collection Festival is a festival where wishes come true, Sakura Mai. Your duty has been completed, but what is your wish..."
·
The hour hand pointed to 12, and the super-powered person sat back in front of the fortune telling booth.
"Wait and see who the last guest is."
Having said that, he already had a premonition of the guest's appearance. Therefore, Gongsun Ce was not too surprised when he saw a piece of gray clothes in his peripheral vision.
But when the man in gray clothes walked out of the alley, revealing his full face, the superpower's eyes widened in surprise. The person who came was wearing gray clothes and a golden crown on his head, which was exactly the same as the clothes of Yin Dou Can Selling in the myth, but the face under the golden crown belonged to another person - "Yin Dou Can Selling" who was walking towards him had the same appearance as Rina. Looks like!
Atavism? Clones? Qiyao Shinto’s secret plan? The superpower user thought of countless inferences at once, but Rei Shigure made an extremely conclusive assertion.
"Have you relied on this witch? Even the mighty gods will use such little tricks."
Attached to... attached to Rina's body? Gongsun Ce suddenly realized that this was indeed a reasonable explanation, because Rina was the witch Yin Dou could sell, and it was her job to descend from the gods. Immediately afterwards, he figured out the intention of Lord God's move.
"Don't be so rude, Miss Shigure. The reason why Yin Dou can betray you is to take care of your feelings, so he uses the method of possession."
After all, Rei Shigure doesn't have a Nether Child.
"Lina" sat down at Gongsun Ce's table and stretched out her hand to him. She used Izumo Rina's voice, but had a completely different tone.
"Please give it to me."
The superpower was stunned for a moment and remembered something. He took out the beans given by Vagus God and placed them gently in the palm of "Rina"'s hand.
"Lord Fujin God is in a difficult situation." Lord Kami's voice said with a smile, "Smart human, you have done too much, it is great. Everything tonight should allow you to have the golden thread for a long time."
Rei Shigure answered: "So the God of Fukutsu is trying to cheat, huh? After all, what he likes most is the so-called 'impermanence of fate', and he can't bear to have good luck all the time. In the end, this guy couldn't lose his face and ended up personally. I’ll send you, my wife, to smooth things over. Where’s the kid from? It’s so funny!”
...Miss Shigure is so aggressive.
The vortex of Zero Island is covering both of you and me. I just took a look at it last night and created an intertwined dream. Are you pointing at others and scolding them today because you are afraid that God will not cause trouble for you and me? If you want to die, don't take me with you!
Gongsun Ce said with a bitter face: "Yin Dou can be sold to you in large quantities, sir. She is still young and ignorant. It's all nonsense..."
Shigurei grabbed his collar: "What did you say last night to help me give up here today?!"
“I am protecting you from divine punishment now, you idiot woman!
"
Yin Dou can sell it and watch quietly at the table. Over the years, she has seen all kinds of human beings, but she has never seen one act comically in front of the gods. She just found it very interesting.
She waited for the two of them to finish arguing, and then said: "What you deserve tonight will be returned to you here."
She rolled the beans in her hand, and the red beans glowed with golden light for a moment, then she took them all back. Yin Dou Neng sold the red beans on the table, stopped talking, closed his eyes, and seemed to be leaving.
But Gongsun Ce still remembered the signs of following her all the way, and the attention this god had paid to him since he arrived at Ling Island. He put away the red beans and asked: "Yin Dou can sell it, sir. Do you want me to help you see what you wish for?"
Yin Dou could smile like Rina's face.
"If it's not too much trouble, please help me take a look."
This is actually quite troublesome. Yin Douneng showed up with the help of Rina's body, so he couldn't use the Nether Child to see the true identity of the god. Now he can only rely on the clues at hand. Thinking about the things related to the sale of Yin beans, she took the initiative to show her kindness when she first came to Zero Island, and then followed her all the way. At the end of the wish festival, Rina acted out her story. Rina called it a preview of the God of Disaster Festival...the God of Disaster...?
The gray-haired young man said tentatively: "What will happen in this year's God of Disaster Festival... Do you want to prevent that thing?"
The two could see clearly, and "Rina"'s face did show a smile of appreciation at this moment.
The next moment, the little miko's temperament changed, and the person sitting at the table turned back into the familiar Izumo Rina. She opened her eyes in a daze, and when she saw the two people opposite her, she jumped up from her chair.
"Eh?! Fa, what happened?!"
The superpower said with a sad face: "Miss Rina, you just fell asleep due to excessive fatigue after performing the dance. Everyone wanted to take care of you, but you took out a multi-jointed stick and made a fuss while sleepwalking, but it made us miserable. ah……"
"No way?!" Rina screamed, "It's impossible, we haven't sleepwalked since we were in junior high school!"
"I lied to you. In fact, you were possessed by Master Yin Douneng."
Rina patted her flat chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, it turns out that we are possessed by the gods - a ghost!
! Don't tell lies that are disrespectful to God!
"
It is really troublesome in this world to tell the truth but not be believed.
Gongsun Ce was thinking about how to tell her about Yingwu's identity as a double agent. After telling her about this, Rina would have a more interesting reaction.
It is now past 12 o'clock, and a new day has arrived in silence. The ghosts and monsters that were once bustling around were now gone, leaving only three sleepy people walking on the street. As if the previous noise was all an illusion, as if the so-called hiding of God was the fantasy of the ignorant.
Gongsun Ce touched his glasses and took out the beans. Amidst the sense of loss dissipated by the festival, he confirmed the reality of what he had experienced tonight. They didn't actually go to many stalls. They worked at the fortune telling stall all night and were exhausted. But from another perspective, they also saw all kinds of hidden gods on Zhuzi Island tonight.
Gongsun Ce snapped his fingers and said, "How's it going, Miss Shigure? Like I said, it's a good festival, right?"
"This is not a festival I want to go to!" Rei Shigure responded viciously. She walked for a while before speaking in a very slight voice.
"...It can be considered an unforgettable experience."
Just be happy.
The three of them returned to the hot spring hotel, and there was no one on the street. The festival of the hidden gods ended in such a peaceful atmosphere.
You are a genius, remember in one second: Red Oasis:
