God of the Mountains?

Qiao Qiao did not feel moved by Kamijosu's request. Instead, the words in her words attracted Qiao Qiao's attention.

The god of mountains, that is, the god of mountains.

In the traditional culture of Iwako, mountains do often appear in the objects of Shinto worship.

For example, the Kinjim Shrine in Saitama Prefecture worships the Omurogao at the rear, and the Iwakiyama Shrine in Tsuga area worships the Iwakiyama Shrine. Of course, mountains like Mount Fuji also have corresponding shrines.

However, the mountains in Yamanashi Prefecture are not famous, they are just ordinary natural peaks around Tokyo, so naturally there is no belief.

If Qiao Qiao didn't know anything, he might also consider whether he was some declining mountain god's beliefs, but after knowing that this was the sealed land of the old god, the mountain god made Qiao Qiao feel that something was not that right.

"What are you worshiping the God of Mountains?"

Qiao Qiao asked Kamijou to get up and asked at the same time.

"Yes, the God's God's body is in a cave near the village. Our lineage has protected the God for generations, and my grandmother and mother have all served as witches."

Kamijo Kaedo replied.

"In ancient times, my ancestors were rescued by the God of Mountains and made a vow to protect the God of Mountains. This vow formed a curse. Once other people were told about the God of Mountains, the other party would be cursed."

She seemed a little embarrassed when she faced Qiao Qiao's gaze, so she didn't look over.

"I just sneaked into the room to confirm whether the two were invaded by evil spirits. If there is any offense, please forgive me."

"Is that confirmation method really OK?"

Yalizi twitched the corner of her mouth.

"So, now you told us about this, we should be under the curse?"

Qiao Qiao confirmed that there was no abnormal situation around him. If the curse was plagued by some kind of evil spirit, he had not seen any other strange signs now.

"Well, I'm very sorry, but I have no other way."

Nakajo Kamichi bit his lower lip with a slight bite.

"A few days ago, I rescued a Mr. Miki. His vehicle had broken down, so I invited him to spend the night in the village. However, he accidentally bumped into the scene of me wearing a witch suit and learning about the God of Mountains. I originally asked him to stay in the village to avoid being harmed by curses, but he insisted on leaving, but he didn't expect..."

"The body of Mr. Miki was found on the roadside, and his internal organs were gone. The body was kept at room temperature in the snow and ice, and it was very rotten."

Qiao Qiao confirmed the words of Kamijoo.

"That is to say, if we leave now, we will die suddenly like that Mr. Miki, and we will die miserably?"

"Yes."

Kamijo Kami nodded.

"Originally, we were the only one of the Shangjoo family in the village. Later, due to the curse, some people gradually remained. For many years, everyone lived in peace and protected the place, and agreed not to leak secrets."

"But in recent years, many resentful spirits and monsters have emerged in the mountains. Our clan survived with the protection of the God of Mountains. But if we cannot seek help from the outside world, we rely on me alone, we will not be able to defeat so many resentful spirits after all."

After hearing what Kamijoo said, Qiao Qiao thought for a moment.

"I understand, Miss Katsujo, we will stay here for the time being, but tomorrow during the day, please take us to the cave where the God of Mountain God is located."

"Yeah, OK."

Kamijosu did not refuse, and bowed and left the house.

"What is this going on, teacher?"

Yariko asked after waiting for Kamijosu to leave.

"If the God of Mountains were the old gods, curses and other methods could be understood as a means of gathering humans. However, according to her, humans should have been eroded for so many years, and it is impossible for them to remain so rational."

Although Kamijoo is a cat that steals fishy food, other behaviors are very normal, unlike a person who has served the old god for a long time.

The influence of the Old God is not completely controlled by Himself, especially the old Gods who were sealed tens of millions of years ago. They are simply unreasonable. In most cases, even if their own wishes are peaceful communication, the indescribable whispers will make ordinary humans become equally crazy.

"Is it because the old gods have just recently begun to break the seal and pollute the spirits nearby?"

From this perspective, it is in line with the status quo.

"Alizi, when she comes into contact with the old god, sometimes she cannot think based on common sense."

Qiao Qiao said.

"The old God himself has a very different form of existence than humans. In many cases, things we think are very reasonable are not the case in the old God, but at least one thing is traceable."

“What is it?”

Yalizi took out her small notebook and took notes.

“That’s survival.”

Qiao Qiao replied.

"No matter what kind of Old Gods are, existence is their first priority, so all the actions of Old Gods can be understood as arrangements for survival."

"So, just a little analysis of which behavior can make the old god here survive, you will naturally get the answer."

......

Nothing happened overnight.

early morning.

Qiao Qiao opened his eyes and put away the blood that covered him and Yalizi.

"Well, is there really no attack?"

Qiao Qiao looked at the traces on the wall.

Last night, after Kamijoo left, the two discussed for a while, determined today's plan and went to bed.

In case, Qiao Qiao opened his blood to defend against possible attacks.

However, as Hashiki said above, there was no harassment from vengeful spirits or evil spirits at night.

Compared to being weird, the attack of Yalizi is more dangerous.

Qiao Qiao felt the weight pressing on him and took a look at the source of the weight.

Yalizi was holding Qiao Qiao, who was curled up in her sleeping bag, as a large pillow, and hugged her hands and feet tightly. Before she woke up, she was making a uniform purr like a kitten.

Her clothes were a little messy, but fortunately the temperature in the room was suitable so that she would not catch a cold.

The girl's face was right next to Qiao Qiao's ears, and the warm breath brushed across her ears, making people feel itchy.

Peace and nothing happened.

Qiao Qiao thought.

His blood changed shape and gently pulled the pears up and placed them on the bedside, and he came out of the sleeping bag and folded them.

There was no trouble for the breakfast, so Qiao Qiao cooked a box of canned military braised beef. After eating with Yalizi, he followed Shangyousuo and left the house.

During the daytime night, there seemed to be more crowded in the village. You could see people wearing heavy coats walking on the road with hunting rifles or axes. When they saw Qiao Qiao and Yalizi, the villagers did not say hello, but only whispered something, not friendly.

Through the still twisted and growing wildly, the Kamikoshi dressed in a witch suit and carrying a lantern, he took the two of them to a secret place covered in snow in the deep forest.

During the journey, Yalizi seemed to see some animals, but they were not the same as they knew.

The closer you get to the deeper the forest, the quieter it becomes.

Finally, halfway up the mountain, Shangjoo stopped.

In front of it, there is a deep and invisible cave.

The entrance of the cave, the ropes and spells seal it, showing a mysterious feeling.
