The shrine looked huge. Pei Zi Yun estimated that the interior of the shrine was about 300 square meters.
'It looks like this shrine, but it's three times bigger.'
The decorations were simple, and there were no windows either. It was dark, and the only source of light was the statue. The statue was two meters tall, and was placed in a wooden niche.
Behind the statue was a wooden wall. There was a yellow cloth pasted on the wall, and it was slightly bigger than the statue.
The floor was black, and there was a pile of ash on it. Due to the lack of light, it was hard to see clearly.
The statue in front of Pei Zi Yun was dressed in red. Its body was strange, and its expression was ferocious. Looking at the material, it seemed to be mahogany, but not all of it. Pei Zi Yun couldn't tell.
It was different from the clean and solemn statues that people worshipped in their homes. Perhaps the color didn't match, or it was too ferocious, but it gave off a sense of chaos.
When Pei Zi Yun entered the shrine, the statue opened its eyes, and they glowed red.
"Warrior, you did well. You helped me kill the traitors!"
Pei Zi Yun was not surprised by this scene, and asked, "Who are the traitors? What do they mean by the Emperor of Meiji, and the descent of the God of Tianjin? "
"Don't believe their nonsense!" The statue said, and spoke in a low, metallic voice, "Those traitors are all evil spirits, and all they say is nonsense!"
"You know, ever since the seventh year of Changbao, the Great General raised his troops and conquered the world. The world was at peace, but there were evil spirits that harmed the living, slaughtered the villagers, and committed all sorts of evil!"
"That's why we were ordered by the Great General to suppress these evil spirits, protect the people, and bring prosperity to the world." The statue said slowly, "However, these evil spirits escaped time and time again. During the reign of the Great General, they rebelled, and went on expeditions everywhere."
"That's why there are warriors like you to suppress them."
Pei Zi Yun started to understand.
"But this time, I don't know why, but the evil spirits that were suppressed by me escaped, and started to commit evil again. They even tried to erode my authority!"
"You helped me kill these traitors, very good!" The face of the statue revealed a look of joy.
"Really?" Pei Zi Yun thought about what the statue had said, and combined it with history, he seemed to understand a little. According to history, in the seventh year of Chang Bao (1551), the Great General of Xin Chuan raised his troops.
At that time, the enemy was the Andong family. During the Kamakura period, the Andong family had been appointed by the shogunate to manage the Shishii region. They were divided into the Andong family and the Hiyama Andong family. After many years of operation, the Shinagawa Dae-shogun defeated the Andong family in one fell swoop and repelled the Minami family who took the opportunity to attack.
After recuperating for two years, in the beginning of the third year, they rose up and defeated the Nanbu Family. After that, it became unstoppable. They swept up the Date Family, and finally won the final battle against the Famed Family, Satake, and unified the northeast.
The Xin Chuan Great General seized the northeast and quickly used it as a foundation. He absorbed talents and perfected the Wu Clan's system. He also attacked the Guan Dong region and occupied some territories.
At that time, the Takeda family had just finished a joint battle with the Uesugi family. Shaken, they joined forces with the Hojo family to fight against the Uesugi family. The Imakawa family also provided support, and even the Nagao family (Uesugi Kenshin) secretly supported them.
The Xin Chuan Great General had met his strongest opponents, the Takeda and Hojo families. Although the Takeda family had suffered great losses in the five battles on the island, they were not to be underestimated.
Hence, he changed his target and attacked the Uesugi family. He used the waterway to attack the so-called God of War, Uesugi Kenshin, and conquered half of Echigo.
For the sake of the war, even if they were enemies of life and death, they would still join forces. The Takeda and Hojo families supported the Xin Chuan Great General. Who would have thought that this was a ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain? When the main army was deployed, the Xin Chuan Clan would attack the Guan Dong region, forcing the Takeda and Hojo armies to return and be ambushed and annihilated.
In this battle, the Takeda and Hojo armies suffered great losses, and the Xin Chuan Clan and Hojo families were defeated. In the next few years, the Takeda and Hojo families were annihilated.
After that, the Xin Chuan Great General was unstoppable. He easily destroyed the Oda family and Shangluo, and occupied more than half of the world. No one could resist him anymore. The remaining four countries and nine states were conquered without any effort.
Could it be that the original history was turning against them?
Moreover, the seven years of Changbao was not 1551. Was there a sign that the world's history was changing?
Pei Zi Yun was puzzled.
According to the description, the fall of the Qing Chuan Great General was a great counterattack, but he was suppressed at that time?
Pei Zi Yun thought about it. Just as he was thinking about it, the statue urged him impatiently. It spoke in a low voice, "Samurai, come up quickly. I am one with you. Only then can we suppress the evil spirits and restore peace."
The statue's words were very righteous. At the same time, spots of red light flashed on the ground and walls. Pei Zi Yun seemed to have an urge to move forward.
Actually, this was in accordance with the rules. Pei Zi Yun had learned from the Three Thousand Sons of Sakami and the Jin Chuan Shrine that in order to obtain the power to kill the evil spirits, Pei Zi Yun had to kneel down and become one with the gods.
Only then could he truly obtain the power to kill the evil spirits.
When Pei Zi Yun read the information, he had some doubts in his heart. Because of his personal experience, there were many people who were controlled by the evil spirits. However, those who were able to kill the evil spirits were few and far between.
Becoming one with the gods, this statement made Pei Zi Yun laugh.
Pei Zi Yun's strength came from himself, from the Plum Blossom, and from the system. If he wanted to become one with the gods, that would be impossible.
"Becoming one with the gods?" Pei Zi Yun could feel the statue's gaze on him and smiled.
In this world, Pei Zi Yun had yet to unleash his full strength. He had only just completed his path to becoming a legend, and had unlocked part of his strength. However, he believed that the god would be able to tell.
"That's why it's so greedy."
"Devour me, no, even if you make me submit to you, you will be able to obtain a lot of my strength. This is a huge gift."
"But am I a huge gift?"
Although he had the urge to move forward, and the statue kept urging him, Pei Zi Yun had no intention of doing so.
On the contrary, Pei Zi Yun's actions were out of the expectations of the statue.
"What a joke!" Pei Zi Yun laughed coldly as he waved his wooden blade, making his stance clear. When the statue saw this, it was enraged, "You dare to defy the gods?"
Along with this voice, the dark ground of the shrine began to glow red, and traces of blood also appeared on the walls. The entire statue seemed to have come to life.
"Hmph, god?"
"Are you worthy of being called a god?" Pei Zi Yun laughed. According to Greek standards, he was at most a demigod. "Furthermore, how much strength do you have left?"
As he said this, he pointed to the ashes on the floor. "This is the final result of the Meiji Army's soul. The ashes of the soul are all over the floor. You have experienced many fierce battles!"
"How much strength do you have now?" Pei Zi Yun said as he picked up his wooden blade.
"In a hundred years, you are the first person who has dared to defy me!" The voice of the statue reverberated in the shrine. It was extremely strange. The floor and walls turned blood red, and the air started to be filled with a bloody mist. The color of the statue changed rapidly, and the entire statue turned into a statue bathed in blood.
"You are just a wild god, and you dare to be so arrogant? Even if I have unlocked less than one-tenth of my strength, I can still kill you." Pei Zi Yun looked at it coldly. "Furthermore, you do not have a physical body. How can you kill me? Don't try to bluff and think that this statue can be used as a physical body."
"Who said that I do not have a physical body!?" The statue roared in a low, metallic voice. With a scream, a person fell into the shrine.
This person was the reporter Shen and Yan Song.
At this time, Shen and Yan Song were terrified. Their suits were tattered and covered in blood. Their hearts were filled with fear and terror. Now, they really regretted it!
Shen and Yan Song did not expect that they would follow Yamada Shinichi to such a strange place just to find out his secret!
Shen and Yan Song no longer thought that this was the back mountain.
With such a terrifying and strange environment, it could not be the back mountain.
Especially after witnessing Yamada Shinichi's terrifying massacre and seeing the two corpses suddenly disappear in front of them, Shen and Yan Song almost peed their pants on the spot. They were almost scared to death. In an instant, the feeling of fear drove them to flee into the distance. They wished they could go home immediately and never come out again.
However, what made Shen and Yan Song so frightened that they almost collapsed was that no matter how they fled, they eventually returned to the original place and walked towards the strange main hall.
From afar, the main hall was dark red. It was gloomy, dark, and lifeless. It was filled with an ominous aura.
Under such circumstances, Shen and Yan Song were naturally terrified and did not want to enter the main hall. However, the next thing they knew was that there was a bloody fog coming from nowhere. No matter how hard they tried, they could not avoid it. When the bloody fog entered the main hall, Fukamatsu Kōki felt that he was losing control of his body. Step by step, he stumbled towards the strange main hall.
When Fukamatsu Kōki entered the main hall, he felt that he could control his body. His first reaction was to scream, "Ah! No! "
He then turned to Pei Zi Yun and shouted, "Yamada-kun, save me!"
At this point, the blood-red statue of the deity pounced forward and transformed into a ray of red light. It rushed into Fukamatsu Mitsuki's body, causing him to tremble and sway uncontrollably. A black fog appeared on his pained face, revealing more than ten faces. There were old and young faces, but they all looked like warriors. Pei Zi Yun, who was standing very close to the statue, could even see the struggling faces of Ishido Seto!
"Don't rush, take your time."
"I will not disturb your fusion." Although this deity was only a low-level deity, he was still a deity. If he could not win, he could escape. Pei Zi Yun, who had a physical body and had not fully unsealed, would not be able to catch up to him. This fusion was exactly what Pei Zi Yun wanted.
"I felt that something was wrong, but I did not notice it immediately. So it was you who controlled this person to follow you, and even shielded him. You must have thought of using his physical body."
"This can be considered as planning for a rainy day. However, although this person's body is strong, he does not practice martial arts. Why don't you use the bodies of Seto and his son?"
"Oh, I understand. They already have the mark of another deity. You can't take over their bodies."
The deity statue did not reply. Instead, it sped up the process. One by one, the faces in the black fog fused together. Ishido Seto was not the first, nor was he the last. He let out a scream and finally turned into ashes.
"Evil spirit entanglement. Heh, I really don't know if it's an evil spirit or an evil god." Seeing this, Pei Zi Yun shook his head. Some of the evil spirits that were mentioned before were real, and some were just the backlash of the deities they worshiped.
