"This idea seems to be really okay, maybe you can give it a try."
When Kamiyagawa came home from school, he didn't log into Kaitan World immediately. Instead, he sat in front of the table and tinkered with something.
Lined up on the table were a spirit-breaking iron projectile, his usual "Medicine Guide" to summon Yin Thunder, and a "Thunder Intertwined Coin".
"I previously chose 10 yen coins to summon the Yin Thunder because the coin itself is made of conductive metal and is relatively small, which is suitable for the Yin Thunder to gather and then burst out. In addition, it is easy to carry, and it is easy to get a lot of them. "
"But now it seems that coins are suitable for use as "medicine guides", and iron bullets seem to have them too, right? "
Kamiyakawa raised his hand and twisted the iron pill, activating Yang Lei's technique.
Crack!
A blue and bright electric arc jumped out from his fingertips and attached to the iron projectile.
At this time, check the item information through your mobile phone.
The projectile held on his fingers has turned into - [Thunder-intertwined spirit-breaking iron projectile].
"The prefix has been added. Although the quality has not changed at all, it shows that it is indeed feasible to use it as a Yin thunder medicine."
Kamiyagawa was delighted, and he took out a few more spirit-breaking iron projectiles and enchanted them, and then used the [Takamagahara Kami] to quickly enter the other world.
…
The world of strange stories.
Hualinggui School.
The young co-master of ghosts and gods once again came to his royal shooting range.
Kamiyagawa first filled three [thunder-intertwined spirit-breaking iron projectiles] into the flintlock musket.
"Being able to be used as a medicine guide is not enough. What I want is to combine the thunder method with the fire gun - to turn the iron bullets fired at high speed into the cursed Great Ivan that can explode vast thunders!"
Iron bullets loaded.
"I summon the god of nothingness with the spirit of my life, and combine the spirit of nothingness with my own spirit."
Kamiya casually raised the muzzle of his gun and pointed it towards the depths of the cherry blossom forest.
Snap.
The trigger was pulled.
At the same time, the watery thunder energy mobilized by Kamiyagawa from the kidneys flowed through the body, reaching the fingertips, and using the metal parts of the Banshee as a media carrier, it extended all the way to the muzzle of the gun!
boom!
The black muzzle spits out tongues of fire.
The iron projectile flew out and directly penetrated a cherry blossom tree, causing a small explosion.
But using [Banshee·Change] to shoot a gun has this effect.
"Tsk, it didn't work." Kamiya smacked his lips.
It should have been that the time when the water dirty thunder energy arrived at the muzzle was a little slow.
When the Yin thunder aura reaches the muzzle of the gun, the iron bullet carrying the Yang thunder aura has already been shot out.
If the yin and yang auras don't collide, naturally they won't be able to explode the water-dirty thunder.
Kamiyagawa wants to achieve the fusion of lightning and firearms, which is a delicate job.
The requirements for controlling the flow of Yin Lei's aura are extremely precise and demanding.
To describe it, it is like Kamiyagawa pouring oil from a big oil can. The oil poured out has to pass through the small square hole of a copper coin, and not a drop can spill out.
Moreover, the time for the collision of yin and yang thunder and energy should be sooner rather than later.
If the two breaths collide inside the gun too early, the chamber of the [Banshee] may explode accidentally.
But Kamiyagawa's current [Five Thunder Evil Techniques] is already at the [Expert Level] proficiency level, and he is extremely proficient in controlling the movement of thunder energy.
In addition, I usually use self-destruction, and I am always stuck for time, so I play to the extreme.
He understands micromanagement.
"try again."
Kamitani adjusted his condition, regained his feeling, and raised the muzzle of his gun.
"I summon the god of nothingness with the spirit of my life, and combine the spirit of nothingness with my own energy."
boom!
no.
Or not.
The time card is still a little bit off.
"Come again."
Kamiyakawa was not discouraged at all.
After five failed attempts, the sixth round was tested——
boom!
The crackle from the barrel changed pitch.
The sound was sharper than the usual gunshots, like a deafening and frightening banshee wail.
While the muzzle of the gun was spitting out tongues of fire, a powerful blue arc light burst out!
[The Banshee] shot a thunder that caused the sky to collapse and the earth to collapse!
The spirit-breaking iron projectiles broke through the air, howling and screaming, and lightning suddenly appeared. After hitting a cherry blossom tree, it exploded into a ferocious white-purple electric light. The tide swept and spread like a whirlpool, wrapping up all the dozens of nearby cherry blossom trees, destroying them and knocking them down.
After the thunderous whirlpool passed away, only a mess of overturned trees and charred soil that continued to emit black smoke were left.
"Success! I knew this idea would work!"
Kamiyagawa put away his gun like a cowboy who had won a duel.
After the thunder method successfully combined with the musket, it showed its power and was stronger than he expected.
I don’t know if it’s because of the large amount of kinetic energy attached to the iron projectiles fired at high speed, which has a positive effect on the “medicine guide”. Anyway, simply using a 10 yen coin to cast water dirty thunder will never produce such a strong effect.
At present, it is still somewhat difficult to control the timing of using the Banshee to shoot iron bullets containing Yin and Yang thunder energy.
Kamiyagawa also tried six times before succeeding once.
But as long as you practice diligently and find the right feeling, you will one day reach the state of "nothing else but familiarity with your hands".
"If I use this set of micro-management skills skillfully, my personal strength will increase a lot."
Of course, even if you can skillfully use iron projectiles to shoot water mines in the future, there is no need to reduce the reserve of [Thunder Intertwined Coins].
These 10 yen coins are easy to carry, and they don’t take up much space when stuffed into a [mirage bag]. Keep some on your body as an additional means of using Yin Thunder, which is beneficial and harmless.
After briefly testing the newly developed method of using lightning, Kamiyagawa did not stay in the dedicated shooting range map for too long.
Instead, he chose to teleport to [Aokigahara Jukai] without wasting time.
Promoting new map progress is currently the top priority.
After exterminating the Pig King last night, he was unable to fully explore the Pig King's Cave due to the interference of the black maggots.
"In the Pig King's cave, you might be able to find information related to those maggots. It would be even better if you could find evidence related to the maggots and Fallen Mountain Yan."
"Before I confront Grandma Shan, it's always good to get more information and prepare."
"For now, I have to rely on my old, young and disabled team to continue to keep an eye on Shan Lao Ju... But according to the little old man's report, there doesn't seem to be anything unusual happening there."
…
After teleporting to Kamitani in the Sea of Trees area, Kamiyakawa trudged for more than an hour in the silent mountain forest without seeing the sun.
Only then did they arrive near the Pig King's territory again.
Perhaps because King Zhuji is dead, monsters such as the Human-faced Tree and Erqiye have begun to appear nearby.
However, as long as the number of monsters of this level does not reach a certain level, they are not the enemy of Kamiya River.
"Abba whining!"
The little old man leading the way began to give warnings that the Pig King's Cave was not far ahead.
Kamiyagawa nodded to express his understanding, and led his scouts forward for a while, then found a quiet bush and took out the [Kabuki Puppet].
Hold the puppet in your hand slightly.
Transparent silk threads began to form on the puppet's head, limbs, and torso, six in total.
The filaments stretched longer and longer, extending to the ground. Where the threads touched, a human figure slowly formed and stood up from the ground.
The face is covered with white powder, painted with red lines, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and the clothes are gorgeous.
Kamiyagawa created a puppet in the shape of "Crazy Death Man" that he personally preferred to use.
At the moment when the puppet was fully formed, Kamiya connected with its consciousness.
"Although I can take care of both the puppet and my own activities at the same time, it will inevitably be a little distracting. Little old man, please stay by my side to look after me."
"Abba! Abba!"
Kamiyagawa sat down with his back against a thick tree trunk, while the kabuki puppet in the shape of a ronin warrior pushed aside the branches and leaves of the trees and continued to walk forward with a slightly stiff and jerky movement.
Not long after walking, Kuangshilang arrived outside the Pig King's Cave.
Here you can still see the traces left over from yesterday's fighting, with large expanse of black volcanic rocks turning outwards, or the remaining marks of gunfire.
There are only a few pieces of land that are good, and it’s very miserable.
Approximate human remains were still scattered outside the cave entrance, but the skull landscape had been scattered in the chaos, and the incomplete white skulls were scattered on the ground.
A rotten smell of depravity and filth could be smelled in the air, but it was much lighter than yesterday.
Kamiyagawa controlled the Kuangshilang puppet to look around outside the cave entrance, but found no black maggots or swarms of flies flying in the air.
"Where did all those things go?"
After hesitating for a while, the Kuangshilang puppet began to walk towards the cave.
The puppet is essentially just an empty shell, a tool that will provide Kamiya with extra senses.
There is no fear of maggots invading the body.
So Kamiyagawa didn't have to worry about anything when Kuangshilang walked into the cave.
The Pig King's cave is much larger than expected, and the filthy rotten smell inside is much stronger than outside.
There are also human skeletons scattered around, and there are a lot of them. The further you go, the denser the bones are and the more distorted their appearance is.
"These skeletons should not only come from strangers who were trapped in Aokigahara due to Kisaragi Station. The urban legend of Kisaragi Station only existed for 20 years, which was not enough to gather so many strangers."
"Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the scene in this cave is a distorted reproduction of a certain period under Mount Fuji in the real world."
With Kamiyakawa thinking this way, he continued to control Kuangshilang forward.
It was very quiet inside the cave. Only the dull footsteps of the puppet could be heard repeating monotonously, causing a little symphony of echoes in the empty cave.
Walking further inside, the cave became pitch black, making it difficult to see.
However, since Kamiya learned how to cut the hair, he can see clearly and understand the details of things as long as he holds his breath and concentrates. The puppets he summoned and controlled inherited his hearing and vision very well.
After taking some time to adapt to the environment in the cave, I slowly became able to see again.
This time, with the help of the puppet's eyes, Kamiyakawa saw that in addition to skeletons, there were also a certain number of ancient axes, ancient mirrors and daggers scattered around, most of which were made of copper.
The Kuangshilang puppet tried to pick up some axes, mirrors and daggers.
But these things were so rotten that they almost broke when picked up. Thick layers of rotten patina touched Kuangshilang's hands and fell all over the floor.
Those rotten coppers seem to have little recycling value.
"I thought it was some key prop."
Kamiyakawa felt uninterested and gave up the plan of picking up rags.
The garbage here is even disdainful to garbage men.
Then he shifted his gaze and looked at the wall of the cave to the side. He saw some irregular bumps on the wall.
"That looks like a mural."
The Kuangshilang stepped on the rotten copper vessels and dead bones and walked towards the cave wall.
Kamiyagawa used the puppet to reach out and groped the dry and rough rock wall, and narrowed his eyes, trying hard to use his ability of seeing like a torch and discerning everything. Only then, in the pitch black, could he vaguely make out some contents on the rock wall.
That is indeed a mural.
It depicts a scene of a group of people performing sacrifices.
The hook line is even, thin and powerful, flying and leaping.
These paintings are colorless;
I don’t know if it was never colored in the first place or if the color was oxidized.
But even so, it can still be seen that the overall picture is thick and steady, the composition is dense and sparse, and the regular and balanced pattern structure is combined with realistic images.
The main body is prominent, coherent from top to bottom, rich and strangely moving.
"Although I don't have much ability in art criticism, these paintings seem to be unusual. In addition, there seem to be Chinese characters engraved on them. Is this a large seal..."
The Kuangshilang puppet stood in front of the mural for a long time with his head raised.
And there are many more paintings like this deep in the cave.
Kamiyagawa does not have much ability to appreciate art. If he is proficient in this art and also knows the ancient history of Japan, then it is possible to guess the origin of these paintings——
This is a mural from the Yayoi culture period.
The Yayoi culture is an important historical period after Japan's Jomon culture, which corresponds to the late Warring States Period and the Qin and Han Dynasties in China.
Many people believe that the Yayoi culture was brought about by the Qin and Han people from China who traveled eastward.
This is why a large number of bronze artifacts can be found in the Yayoi Civilization ruins.
Of course, Kamiyagawa is neither an artist nor an archaeologist. He doesn't understand these things, so all he can refer to are the contents of these murals.
The sacrificial picture Kamiya saw just now was not the first painting in the cave paintings.
If you walk back, you can see two more pictures——
First painting.
The content of the painting is a magnificent treasure ship, shrouded in auspicious clouds and glittering with jewels.
We are traveling through the turbulent waves.
Drawn in the waves are twisted monsters with teeth and claws.
Second painting.
There is still the treasure ship in the picture, but it seems that the big ship has docked on the shore.
On the shore, some ragged indigenous people were kneeling respectfully.
The people on the boat are painted to the higher side of the painting, looking majestic and divine.
The leader is a beardless man with only a few strokes, but he looks like a fairy.
The man was surrounded by a group of boys and girls, and at the front of the group was a tall boy holding a medicine gourd, leading the way.
"Why do I feel like this painting..."
Kamiyagawa controlled Kuroshiro and put his finger on the old man who was the most important part of the composition of the picture.
At this moment, he felt something for no reason.
A name was like a bolt of lightning, like a sticky tentacle, quickly flashing through his mind——
Xu Fu.
"Is this painting of Xu Fu?"
After Kamiyagawa realized this, layers of sounds began to sound in both the ears of Kuangshilang's puppet and his own.
The sound seemed hollow and dead, and also seemed slimy and wet.
There's no way to describe it, it's like a mixture of indescribable gibbering.
Something roared and rejoiced in an unknown place, and the sound was conveyed here through a simple name, reaching Kamiyakawa's ears.
Those things are shouting:
"Xu Fu! Xu Fu! Xu Fu! Xu Fu!"
"Xu Fu...Xu Fu..."
