do not know why.
When the old god saw this human male, he felt a strange chill run down his spine.
It's like a rabbit seeing a tiger.
natural enemy.
His original plan was to hide in a corner of the shrine and reappear after the group left.
Unexpectedly...
His own divine messenger actually went and provoked the other party!?
If this doesn't come out soon, the old god is truly afraid that his time as a god is coming to an end.
"Jingle Bell!!!"
Hearing the wind chimes gradually increase in frequency, changing from a pleasant and crisp sound to a sharp and piercing one, the old woman's expression suddenly changed, and she spoke in a deep voice to the people who were worshipping.
"The gods are displeased. This is the end of the day. Please leave as soon as possible."
Hearing the old woman's words, the people who came to worship were puzzled, but since they had come to the shrine, they naturally believed in such mysterious things to some extent, so they didn't say much and left through the torii gate one by one.
After everyone left.
Just as the old woman looked at Ye Xing and the others, about to say something, the wind chimes suddenly started swaying again.
This time, she was stumped.
After hesitating for a moment, the old woman tentatively asked.
"Does the deity mean... these people don't need to leave?"
"Dingling bell~"
"Since the deity has spoken, you may stay, but..."
Before the old woman could finish speaking, the wind chimes suddenly started shaking rapidly again.
"What...what exactly do you mean?"
The old woman had served as a divine messenger for decades and had never encountered anything like this before.
The old god was extremely anxious.
Unfortunately, although she was a divine messenger, this old woman was not a particularly powerful psychic. At most, she could only see some phantoms, let alone hear the words of the gods.
The only way these two old men, one human and one spirit, communicate is through the swaying of wind chimes.
"Byd, can you stop shaking that piece of junk?"
To the old woman's surprise, the moment Ye Xing uttered those words, the swaying wind chimes stopped abruptly, as if someone had pressed them down.
Under her incredulous and shocked gaze, Mai Sakurajima stepped forward two steps and said with a polite smile.
“Grandma, I think the gods mean that you should leave here first.”
"Huh? I'm leaving?"
Just as the old woman said those words, the wind chimes hanging there swayed slightly.
"Ding~"
"Huh? You're really letting me go?"
The old woman was dumbfounded.
Having served as a divine messenger for so many years, this was the first time she had encountered something like this.
Own...
They were kicked out of the shrine?
but...
Since it is the will of the gods, we can only obey.
After the old woman who was a divine messenger left, the old god who had been standing there, swinging the wind chimes for a long time, looked relieved.
He looked at Night Star standing there, his aged face showing fear and worry.
The next second, the old god did something that Sakurajima Mai and the others never expected.
With remarkable agility, He slid down to Night Star in a kneeling celebration motion and prostrated Himself in front of him.
"Please spare me!"
Mai Sakurajima, Yui Yuigahama, Menma, Rio Futaba, and Miko Yotsuya were all dumbfounded.
There are such gods?
Why did they suddenly start kneeling down and begging for mercy?
It's hard to say who's stronger or weaker...
But his courage is far inferior to that of the golden goat-headed man.
Not right either.
That shows how smart they are; those who know when to yield are the wise ones.
Yohoshi did not reply directly, but looked at Yukino Yukinoshita and Kaimu Kitagawa.
"You've come all this way to the shrine, shouldn't you go and pay your respects?"
Unlike Hina Amano and Kazusa Touma, Yukino Yukinoshita and Kaimu Kitagawa do not know the truth about the existence of evil spirits, nor do they have the ability to observe spirits.
They were completely bewildered by what had just happened.
"Paying homage?"
Before Kitagawa Kaimu and Yukino Yukinoshita could react, Sakurajima Mai and the others understood and led the two to the shrine's donation box and coin-operated fountain.
After they had gone some distance, Ye Xing squatted down, a friendly smile on her face, and looked at the old god who was lying trembling in front of her, and spoke softly.
"Byd, with your looks, you think you can control love luck?"
"Injustice!"
For some reason, the old god felt that when Ye Xing uttered those words, there was a deep resentment in his voice, which carried a murderous intent that terrified Him. Without thinking too much, He hurriedly offered a tearful explanation.
“I didn’t build that torii gate, and I didn’t spread the legend that if you hold hands and walk through it, you will never be separated for life. It’s a real injustice. I am the god who controls the land and fortune.”
"You're still in charge here?"
"Don't dare."
The old man, disregarding his own dignity, quickly explained.
"I just want to make those who come to pray feel a little happier. As for things like controlling the land and wealth, they are all made up out of nothing, made up out of nothing."
The so-called gods of Sakura Province are mostly not true gods.
Like the old man in front of me, and that golden goat-headed man...
Rather than calling them gods, they are more like earthbound spirits residing in shrines.
It's not exactly an evil spirit, but it could be considered a ghost.
"ask you a question."
Ye Xing patted the old man on the shoulder and chuckled.
"Why did you let your divine messenger, that old woman, leave first?"
"This...this..."
Seeing that the old man seemed to want to say something but hesitated, Ye Xing smiled as if he could read the other man's mind.
"Afraid I'll kill her?"
The old god gritted his teeth and said tremblingly.
"Well... she is, after all, my divine messenger, just an ordinary person. Ignorance is no excuse. If she has offended you in any way, I will take responsibility. Please do not harm her."
"Well said."
Ye Xing nodded noncommittally.
"Although you are a bit weak, you are still a proper god. Very good. I won't eat you."
The old man seemed relieved, but his expression was complicated.
"Well... thank you very much."
As a guardian deity with its own independent shrine, He never imagined that one day He would feel so frustrated.
Never mind, there are no outsiders here anyway.
So be it, let's just lose our way.
"I have one more question for you."
"Please feel free to ask."
"As a native Tokyo deity, what is your significance regarding that pedestrian shopping street area in Shibuya, right here..."
Ye Xing took out her phone, opened the map, and pointed to the location.
"Have you heard anything about this area?"
"here!?"
When the old god saw the location pointed out by Ye Xing, his expression changed immediately, and he lowered his voice.
"Let me give you a piece of advice: this area is very dangerous. A ghost friend of mine mentioned it when he came to visit. He saw a naked, emaciated evil spirit in this area, with his skin painted black, dressed like a monk."
"Painted Buddha?"
Seeing that Ye Xing actually knew this name, the old god nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, it's the Tofubutsu from the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, it's very dangerous..."
At that moment, it was as if an automatic translator appeared in Ye Xing's mind.
“Very dangerous” = “Very delicious”.
"It seems the time has come to feast."
