Xue Junli said calmly, "Are you trying to say that all the villagers in Baigui Village have turned into monsters?"
Xiao Tangqiu nodded: "Otherwise, there is no explanation for why the villagers of Baigui Village disappeared out of thin air, nor can it explain why those monsters suddenly increased in number."
Xue Junli frowned. "Even so, the numbers don't match. The villagers we saw that day far outnumbered the monsters we saw. Even if all those villagers really turned into monsters, where did the remaining monsters go?"
The two paused at the same time, then shouted in unison: "Kiragi Shrine!"
Xiao Tangqiu and Xue Junli looked at each other, and then Xue Junli's eyes darkened: "Let's go to the shrine!"
Everyone turned around and headed towards the holy mountain.
For some reason, their journey to the Holy Mountain was smooth and nothing happened. They didn't even encounter a monster. However, to Xiao Tangqiu, this calmness was more like the calm before the storm.
Xiao Tangqiu frowned slightly, wondering if it was his illusion. The closer he got to the Holy Mountain, the fewer monsters there seemed to be, as if the monsters were afraid of the Holy Mountain... But when they first arrived at the Hundred Ghosts Village, they had clearly seen quite a few monsters on the Holy Mountain. Why couldn't they see any now?
He had a bad premonition in his heart. At this moment, they finally arrived at the foot of the mountain god, and the next step was a long climb.
But along the way, not to mention encountering any monsters, not even a single hair of a monster was seen. The entire holy mountain was clean, just like a real holy mountain.
A moment later, they arrived at the top of the sacred mountain. However, just like before, they did not see any shrine, and naturally, they did not see any remaining villagers.
Xiao Tangqiu sighed. Did they get into another dead end? He subconsciously turned to look at Ruyue, only to see her slowly shaking the Kagura bell in her hand.
Along the way, he saw Ruyue using the Kagura bell many times, but this time seemed particularly different. While shaking the Kagura bell, Ruyue softly chanted an unfamiliar melody, which seemed to be some ancient and mysterious spell.
As Ruyue chanted and the clear and distant sound of the Kagura bell rang out, a torii gate gradually emerged in front of them, and soon, an ancient shrine appeared before them.
In the center of the torii stands an old plaque with the words "Kusurugi Shrine" written on it.
Ruyue put down the Kagura bell in her hand and said in a deep voice, "We're here."
They finally arrived at the Kisaragi Shrine, and unlike the Kisaragi Shrine hundreds of years later, this was the real Kisaragi Shrine, the one that truly enshrined the mountain god.
Xiao Tangqiu looked up at the shrine in front of him. To his surprise, although this shrine was old and dilapidated, it looked very majestic, much more majestic than the Ruyue Shrine hundreds of years later. It made him feel that this was a shrine dedicated to and protected by the mountain god... Perhaps because of this, his ominous premonition became stronger and stronger.
He finally couldn't help but say, "I have a bad feeling..."
Tang Mianmian was startled: "Shut up!"
He covered his chest with his hands and looked around, waiting anxiously for a while, but nothing happened.
So he slowly lowered his hand that was covering his chest and mocked Xiao Tangqiu, saying, "It seems your bad mouth isn't working anymore!"
Xiao Tangqiu laughed dryly and was about to speak, but at this moment, the entire holy mountain suddenly shook!
Xiao Tangqiu: "..."
...It’s not that it doesn’t work, it’s just that the time has not come yet!
