Chapter 1047 Legend

Under the coordination of Mado Akatsuki, Qin Heqing temporarily requisitioned the action team's car, and the driver who was responsible for driving and driving the car back afterwards went to the place where Kiyoshi Kashiwagi disappeared last - West Tokyo City.

Then get off the car, and according to what the land said before, use the magic spell to call the land of the city to the front.

In the end, it was really as the land said, as long as you report your origin, the land in Nishitokyo City will not look down on him or anything because of the difference between man and god, but treat people of the same level very politely He helped him mobilize the geographer who can only be mobilized by the priesthood of land, and helped him track down the whereabouts of Kashiwagi Kiyoji.

However, Kiyoji Kashiwagi's final destination is still not here. So after figuring out his whereabouts, Qin Heqing got back into the car again, and asked the driver to drive towards the jurisdiction of the next land.

Then the car drove into Musashino City.

But he didn't stay long, and drove into Mitaka City again.

Then there are Chofu City, Fuchu City, and Kunitachi City.

It wasn't until entering Kokubunji City that Kiyoji Kashiwagi's movements completely stopped.

But at this time, it was already around five o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was already dark, and it seemed that it was going to be night, entering the so-called time of encountering the devil.

...

"Kokubunji Temple? What is he going to Kokubunji Temple for?" Qin Heqing muttered puzzledly as he looked at the record of Kashiwagi Kiyoji's activity track presented by the land use secretary of Kokubunji City.

The Kokubunji Temple in Kokubunji City is not a living temple, but a temple that has been abandoned for decades. Not to mention the monks inside, even the building itself of Kokubunji Temple is already covered with moss. To the extent of Lanruo Temple, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a ghost temple and a supernatural place. Normal people will never go there if they have nothing to do or have a purpose.

"Kokubunji..." The old woman Tudi of Kokubunji City frowned, and pondered with some hesitation.

"Xingcun Land, did you think of something?" Qin Heqing, who noticed the strangeness of the land spirit, asked quickly.

"I hope I was wrong." The land god named Yukimura sighed.

After a pause, Chong Qin and Qing explained, "Do you know why Kokubunji built a temple here?"

"Isn't it because of the one country, one temple system that the site was chosen here?" Yue'er asked rhetorically.

The so-called one-country-one-temple system refers to the Kokubunji Temple and Kokubun Nunji Temple. Based on the needs of missions, the Yamato Kingdom, which was ruled by the ancient government system, is now the Todai Temple and Hokka Temple in Nara Prefecture. Policy on building branch temples. It lasted until the Edo Shogunate period, and it was gradually abolished due to religious factional disputes and other ideological issues. As a result, many temples and Kokubun Temples similar to the one in the picture in front of us were abandoned, and there was no revival.

"Then do you know why the temple was built here?" Yukimura Land smiled, not angry with Yue'er, but asked back with a good temper.

"Could it be that there is any special meaning?" Qin Heqing asked in surprise.

This is not impossible!

After all, the ancient temples and shrines were built according to the spirit veins and mountains, and some temples were built to suppress and reconcile the local geomantic omen, so as to save the city from disasters.

For example, the power of Qin and Qing in the Warring States period, the Miko Agency, was originally established to seal Yamata no Orochi.

Then there are small temples in some mountains, unmanaged shrines, etc.

"There is indeed a special meaning in it." Yukimura Land nodded and admitted, "For the seal, to suppress the seal of the evil god who once wreaked havoc in Musashi country."

"Evil God refers to..." Yue'er wondered.

She can also be considered an old man in the Warring States Period. Why hasn't she heard the legends about monsters and evil gods raging in Musashi?

"This starts with Michigan Ota, the guardian of Musashi back then. By the way, do you know the legend of Kawagoe Castle?" Yukimura landed with distant eyes, looking at the Kokubunji Temple on the screen in awe.

"Ota... Kawagoe Castle... Are you talking about the legend of Kirigakure Castle and Yana?" Yue'er tilted her head in thought, her eyes lit up, and asked.

"What kind of legend is that?" Qin Heqing asked in confusion.

"In the past, the bottom of the moat under Sanyo Shrine in Kawagoe City in Saitama Prefecture was connected to the water of Sanuma, and because of the deep silt, it always gave people the illusion that the moat was bottomless, so the people in the city said that the people living there and named him Yana. Then the war came, and I don’t know whether there were too many legends that gave birth to the elf named Yana, or there were elves in the first place, but they just happened to meet the people’s According to legend, during a certain war, the elf named Yana appeared. He was powerful, he would blow clouds, blow up magic winds, make the surroundings become like night, and he could also cause floods and make the river water Flood, so that people will not be able to find the castle tower. So Kawagoe Castle also has the legend of the city of hidden fog." Yue'er explained for Yukimura Land.

"She's right. But Cheng Ye Yana, and defeat is also Yana. For some reason, Ota Michikan, who was the lord of Kawagoe City, offended Yana at that time, which caused Yana to hate him. Not only did he not guard the castle tower guarded by Ota Michikan, but also He often troubled him, making Ota Michikan miserable, and finally on a certain day, Ota Michikan invited a mage and beat Yana away with great magic power..." Xingmura Tudou nodded affirmatively.

"Afterwards, Ota Michikan also thought it was all right, so he refocused his energy on governance, and then he was promoted through meritorious service and became the guardian of the Musashi Kingdom, but unexpectedly, here he met Yana who had become an evil god again. "

"Michigan Ota was terrified, and happened to meet a priest sent by Kokubunji Sozan who came to Musashi to proclaim the Dharma, so he asked the priest of Kokubunji to help suppress Yana on the condition that he would help establish a branch temple of Kokubunji in Musashi Kingdom. That’s why this Kokubunji Temple exists.”

"So you suspect that Kiyoshi Kashiwagi went to the abandoned Kokubunji Temple to liberate the evil god Yana who was sealed there?!" Hearing this, Qin Heqing's complexion changed, and he hurriedly asked.

"Other than that, I really can't think of anything or existence there that deserves such a dangerous person to visit there." Yukimura Land sighed.

"...Then it seems that we can't delay. Thank you very much for your help. When I have time later, I will come to visit you." Qin Heqing was silent for a while, then his face straightened, he bowed to the land of Xingcun, and then turned around Walked towards Akira Mado and the car not far away.

"Are you going to Kokubunji Temple?" Just before he took two steps, he was stopped by Yukimura Land.

"Yes, do you have other orders?" Qin Heqing asked with doubts on his face.

"I can take you there directly." Yukimura Land smiled.

But I forgot, who is standing in front of me - the land god!

As the ruler of a piece of land, there is really no place that she cannot reach in an instant.

It's the same even with outsiders.
