After defeating the Blood Eater Princess, Kamiyagawa and the little old man continued to explore the Living Fish Hotel.
Currently, there are 16 types of hotel ghost stories that have been cured.
More than half of the main line retreat mission has been completed.
The side mission that attracted the praise of Yamamoto Gorozaemon is currently going very smoothly. Kamiya has indeed not died even once in the Live Fish Hotel.
The master and the servant wandered around for a while and found a new room——
Room 806.
As usual, I let the little old man go in and explore, but he didn't detect any danger.
It looks like an empty room.
"You go back to Tongpei first."
Kamitani simply opened the door and entered.
Room 806 has an ordinary layout, just like a normal hotel room.
On the wall, there are also the messages left behind by those phoenixes——
"Don't rest in bed."
Kamiyagawa was already familiar with this. He took off Ichimonji from his waist, held a knife in one hand and a gun in the other, and sat on the bed rebelliously.
Then he slowly lay down on his back.
He frowned slightly, carefully paying attention to the changes around him.
I don’t know how long it took.
Kamiya, who was staring at the white ceiling, heard the sound of pipes and flutes, which was desolate and vast, yet ethereal and tranquil.
There was only one sound and then it stopped. It was impossible to tell which corner of the room it came from.
"It sounds like a Shakuhachi."
Kamiya secretly made a judgment in his mind, and at the same time, he stared at the small room and looked around.
But the strange thing is that there is no evil smell in the room.
"Um?"
Something is wrong.
Kamiya was sure that he heard the sound that sounded like a shakuhachi just now.
But why can't there be any breath when there is sound?
Buzz——
The phone rang at this time.
[Encountering a strange interview with a strange story, a monk of nothingness. ]
[The foreign visit catalog has been updated. ]
[Name of the ghost story: Monk of Nothingness]
[Grade: D level]
[Extraordinary visit progress: 35%]
The Void Monk is also called the Void Monk, the Recommended Monk, and the Lone Monk.
Normally, it is not a weird story, but refers to the disciples of the Puhua Sect, a branch of Japanese Zen Buddhism.
The general image is to wear a sky cover on the head, no monk's robes, a cassock and a bag hanging around the neck, blowing the shakuhachi, and begging in various places.
"Something's strange...but I can't see it."
Kamiya was alert, holding down Ichimonji with his right hand, ready to unsheath it at any time.
The evil ghost tattoo on his back became ferocious and twisted.
At the same time, Shikigami is also ready to go.
Kamiya's perception ability has always been very good. He still understood the secret of cutting off the hair from the [Expert Level] Self-Evidence Flow, and he was able to flexibly utilize the "see through" effect attached to this secret.
There is basically no weird story that can conceal its aura and escape his eyes.
But the "Nihility Monk" I encountered now did it.
"Woo-"
The desolate and vast shakuhachi sound sounded again.
This time the voice was right next to the bed!
"So close to me?" Kamiya was surprised.
Prajna quickly appeared and stood in front of Kamiya.
Under the wide cuffs of the undergarment, the powder bag that originally belonged to the powder fairy opened open, spilling thick white powder towards the bed.
At the same time, there was a bloody red mist billowing, centered on Shengu, and spreading towards the surroundings of the room.
Where the white and pink mist intertwined, a figure appeared.
is a monk.
Wearing a deep straw hat on his head, a cassock and a convenience bag with the word "emptiness" written on his neck, he is also dressed in a white robe.
The deep cylindrical straw hat completely covered the head of the Void Monk, and it was also damaged, with decayed whiskers growing in the gaps.
The void monk has an illusory figure, his white robes are fluttering, and his hand is raised high with a shakuhachi.
The shakuhachi is a musical instrument, but the end of the handle in the monk's hand is extremely sharp and even glowing with coldness.
Judging from the movement of his raised hand, he should be planning to stab Kamiyagawa on the bed.
However, at the critical moment, Mary's red mist and Prajna's powder poured out at the same time, and the accompanying corrosive effects interrupted the Nihility Monk's movements.
Kamiya's entire right arm on the bed was shrouded in thick black light, and the translucent ghost arm emerged.
The scales are closely spaced, with red lines, extending down his shoulders, like a cage covering the entire right arm.
Uh-huh!
The five fingers of the ghost hand spread out, and the black energy on the knuckles and palms was violently swirling, and red lines flashed on the scales.
Kamiya didn't even grasp a word. He stood up from the bed and directly pinched the head of the void monk Fukusa Kasa with his ghost hands.
Only the monstrous void monk is really weird and strange, and his ability to conceal his aura is even better than that of the little old man. But it is a D-level monster after all. After being forced to appear, it will no longer be Kamiya's opponent.
The flesh and blood squeezed, making a "pop" sound of collapse.
The Void Monk's deep grass hat was pinched to pieces, and resinous mucus flowed from it. His body twisted twice and fell to the ground.
Then, with the ringing of Zashiki's bell, he became Inujiro's supply.
…
[The Void Monk has died and obtained 307 soul crystals! ]
[Obtain D-level Kaidan’s heartfelt work! ]
[Get the void shakuhachi! ]
The battle ended in an instant, and Kamiya collected the spoils.
The map of Live Fish Hotel has its own unique advantages.
Although there are no mass-produced monsters that can be used to refresh souls in large quantities, all the monsters active in this map are elite monsters, and the probability of exploding materials and props is very high.
The Kamiya River has gained a lot here.
[The void shakuhachi (rare material): The shakuhachi carried by the void monk, after playing it, can eliminate its own existence in illusion and turn it into an invisible thing. ]
[Queens of similar nature, if you can absorb the void shakuhachi for your own use, your strength can be improved. ]
"Looking at the description, it's a strange relic."
Kamiyagawa held the [Void Shakuhachi] in his hand and looked through it.
The end of this musical instrument is transformed into a pointed cone. The body of the pipe is one foot eight inches long. The mouth is in the shape of a half-moon, with four pressing holes on the front and one on the back. The overall color is dark black, made of bamboo, and the bamboo fiber is tight and the inner wall is thick, so it feels quite heavy in the hand.
"The stealth type material should be in line with the characteristics of the little old man, right?"
Kamiya directly summoned his little scout.
The little old man is good at hiding, but some sensitive people or weird people have always been able to detect his existence.
For example, Granny Gu from the official organization, Tu Zi from Ci Urgent Hospital, and Bachi Nu from Dali Island.
Everyone noticed him.
Even Kamiyagawa himself could see through the little old man's hiding effect if he focused his eyes.
Therefore, the daily actions of our scouts are far from being invisible.
If this [Void Shakuhachi] suits the little old man, you might as well give it to him directly.
Strengthening his abilities in a targeted manner will be of great benefit to exploring the map in advance and tracking enemies.
"Abba!"
The little old man appeared in the purple ghost aura.
"Try this. It's the same thing as the [Shadow Mass] I gave you last time to help you gain the ability of your body. See if you have the urge to absorb it."
Kamiyagawa pushed the dark black Shakuhachi in front of the little old man.
"Abba! Abba!"
The little old man looked at Kamiya and then at the Shakuhachi on the ground. He became excited, danced and beat his chest.
The master sent me something good again!
Sure enough, he sees all my hard work.
Master... I am willing to follow you to the ends of the earth!
After noisy for a while, the little old man finally reached out and touched the [Void Shakuhachi].
The dark black Shakuhachi felt something and became illusory, but after a moment it solidified again.
Accommodation seems to have failed.
"Whew..."
The little old man dropped his hands, frustrated.
And Kamiya is already quite experienced in this kind of thing, and Prajna also encountered a similar situation when he first tried to accommodate the [Powder Fairy's face].
"It seems that this void shakuhachi has a good compatibility with you. It can't be accommodated now, probably because your rating is too low. D-level Kaidan relics can be accommodated more smoothly at least until you reach e-level. Don't be discouraged. , as long as it’s compatible, I’ll keep it for you.”
"Abba!"
Under Kamigawa's comfort, the little old man cheered up again, straightened his back, and beat his chest to show his loyalty.
The master has said so, so there must be no problem!
I want to follow my master and become prosperous!
Calling back the little old man, Kamiya put away the [Void Shakuhachi] for the time being.
The harvest tonight is very good——
Gouzi has learned a new skill.
The little old man has an extra reserved ghost relic. After it is successfully absorbed by the E-class, he may be able to achieve a high level of invisibility in the future and be directly transparent to the world.
Everyone has a bright future.
…
Kamiya’s strategy for the Live Fish Hotel is progressing steadily.
In Fusang Township, Jue's work continued.
Although the craftsman sister usually seems carefree, she is still very attentive to the craftsmanship of the master craftsman.
On the day when I was reading twenty kinds of strange stories at the Living Fish Inn in Kamiya, I felt good news coming from there——
The happy club was completed.
On the Broken Gaotian Plain, there is a blacksmith stall.
A small ornate shrine was placed on the ground.
The small shrine is generally in red and white. The white is elegant and clean, and the red is bright and majestic.
The length and width are about one meter. It looks a bit like a proportional scale of a real shrine, but also a bit like a shrine.
Kamiyakawa leaned down and inspected the goods carefully.
The main temple of Xishe is composed of arches, three-story towers and steps. Although it is small, it has all the internal organs.
The arch is made of thick reverse pillar wood and is outlined with bright vermilion paint lines on the left. There are small square eaves on both sides, one is pushed in the middle, and in front of the door is a row of arched pillars.
In the corridor, ropes made of ramie are hung, and magpie velvet is lined up.
A prayer bell hangs in the center of the rope.
The entire temple is curved and looks like a red stingray symbolizing Fu Rui.
Through the gate, you can also see that red stingray bones are used as beams and pillars inside, and the red bones support the entire temple, with pieces of colorful lucky carp scales dotting it.
In the center of Xishe stands a three-story pagoda with carved beams and painted pillars. Although it is small, it is extremely majestic. In addition, the multi-layered platform constructed through steps or ditches below makes the overall appearance of the shrine more complete.
The joyful mood of Xihe and the rich blessing of Red Stingray Bones permeate the entire Xishe building.
"How about it? I made it very well, right?"
Satori raised his hand and patted Kamiya on the shoulder.
"I actually can't see the good or the bad."
Kamiyakawa looked at it for a while and answered truthfully.
"Ignorance! This Xishe is perfect, isn't it?" The craftsman's expression immediately turned indignant upon hearing this.
It’s really playing the piano to a cow!
This guy Kamiyagawa is so boring.
"By the way, the main hall of this shrine, which is made of red stingray bones, is used to enshrine Mary's shikigami statue, right?"
"yes."
"Then what is this side hall used for? I think there is room for a shikigami statue here." Kamiya pointed to the side hall of the shrine under the three-story tower.
"Of course it is used to worship God."
"From God?"
Having learned a lot of folklore knowledge on his own in the outside world, and having traveled in the inner world for so long, Kamiyagawa clearly understands the concept of "following the gods".
Like what he encountered before, among the strange stories about divinity——
Although Shan Lao has a small shrine of her own, judging from the shrine's nomination, she should be a subordinate of Lord Asama.
There is also Umibozu in the Rakshasa Sea. It is unclear whether he has a shrine, but he is definitely a subordinate god of the Seven Gods of Good Luck.
To put it crudely, Congshen is the follower of the righteous gods.
Moreover, it is vaguely mentioned in the classics that Kamiyagawa has read that the subordinate gods should be able to take away a small amount of the power of faith from the incense of the shrine of the main god.
In this way, even if they are not worshiped by others, they can still get a little faith in the form of "wages".
Therefore, for those Kaitan who have reached B level but have no way to obtain worship, becoming a younger brother to the True God is also a way to gain incense and maintain themselves.
Kamiyagawa reviewed the strange stories he had mastered and the knowledge of the god system: "I remember that only the true orthodox gods are qualified to have subordinate gods, right?"
Like the Asama God and the Seven Lucky Gods mentioned before, these are all famous gods.
It is enshrined in shrines all over Japan.
As for Mary, even if there is a shrine, the real position is still the unknown Arakami.
Theoretically, she is not qualified to command followers to follow God.
"Hmph~" Kaku patted his chest, which was wrapped in black. "This is what I call the power of the non-traditional perfect shrine! And it's just one of the advantages! This shrine is fully capable of making extra sacrifices. A follower of God. If you hadn’t obtained the red stingray bones, you really wouldn’t have been able to do this. Thank me, and your own efforts and luck.”
"Awesome, awesome." Kamiya chose to praise the craftsman sister, "Then what kind of benefits can the followers of Xishe get? Blessings of incense?"
"Of course there will be incense and faith. Moreover, acting as a slave god will also be of great help to the improvement of the slave god's own strength. In a sense, the belief in incense can be compared to the requiem candle made by the little green monk. , but it’s many times more effective than candles.”
"Can we also directly enhance the strength of Cong Shen? Accelerate promotion or something like that?"
"It can be understood this way."
If you want to talk about this with Kamiyagawa, the master of Kaitan cultivation, then he will be interested.
From God, you can hang up and share incense experience to improve your strength...
Understood.
Learning device!
"Then what kind of weird story can be used as the god of Xishe? B-level? No, C-level should also work, right?"
In Kamiya's impression, Shanlao is C-level, but she is still a follower of the gods.
"Hmph~ Don't let your jaw drop in shock. In what age are you still doing traditional slave gods? The God of Joy I created can even enshrine F-level ghost stories on the throne of slave gods!"
"Huh? F-level?"
Seeing Kamiya's surprised look, he felt satisfied and proud:
"Yes! It's mainly the materials such as reverse pillars and ramie that are at work. Didn't I say it before? One of the purposes of setting up a shikigami shrine for you is to use the shikigami shrine as a hub to feed you the scent of incense, so as to softly Strengthen your body and gather the power of ghosts and gods for you. This will lay the foundation for me to establish a society for you in the future."
"The main god of the God of Joy, your Lady Mary, will bear and consume most of the incense belief, and the remaining part will flow back through the reverse pillar, become extremely soft, and be transported to you and the subordinate gods in the side hall. "
"You can handle it, and so can the weak and strange monsters."
"Oh, there are conditions for being a god of joy. It must be consistent with the two functions of the happy society, the joyful mood and the abundance of good fortune, and it must be related to it."
Kamiyagawa:……
Ah this...
Although it seems that my sister has never seen Zashiki.
But the position of the God of Joy is simply tailor-made for Fu Bao.
"It seems that Zashiki and I can benefit from Mari's shrine at the same time." Kamiyakawa thought to himself.
This is how a family should live in harmony.
