Gamers Are Fierce Chapter 47: Ksitigarbha
“The Japanese island background and folklore, I can already predict the style of this script task…”
Wang Congshan rubbed her brows and said in distress, “But Ogasawara is not necessarily his father, right?
It’s also possible that Tetsuya and Ayaka’s uncles, uncles, or grandfathers were elders—at least someone they were very close to and valued.
By the way, what is the content of the other newspaper. “
“Let me see.”
Li Ang looked at the second clipping,
The title of the clipping is a sudden geological disaster in a mountain village in Gangsen County.
[An earthquake of 7.0 on the Richter scale occurred in Yuanke Village, located in the east of Gangsen County. The earthquake and six consecutive days of heavy rainfall triggered a mudslide eruption in the adjacent Yuanshan Mountain, destroying local surface buildings and causing damage to the surrounding area. All the villagers disappeared]
This newspaper is more faded and old, with a lot of fluff formed by softening the paper in the corners, and the typesetting style of the newspaper text is also more old.
“The date is July, Showa 54,”
Wang Congshan did a mental calculation and said, “That should be the late 1970s in the real world, just 40 years from 2019, and 30 years from the disappearance of Ogasawara.
An earthquake of magnitude 7 on the Richter scale can be combined with a mudslide to destroy an entire village…
Will it be the one we just felt? “
“Possibly.”
Li Ang checked the clippings carefully and found no interlayers or hidden text.
The backs of the two clippings are incomplete reports, one is the death of the Japanese comedy movie actor, and the other is the accident at the American nuclear power plant, which should have nothing to do with the current situation.
Li Ang thought for a while, then took out the tear-off notepad in his jacket pocket.
Many papers of the notepad have been torn off, and some pictures are drawn on the remaining paper,
They are samurai wearing armor, holding a sword, and wearing a Prajna mask;
A stone well under a twisted dead tree;
A torii gate built on the hillside;
In addition, there are several drawings with lines too scribbled to make it difficult to identify specific depictions.
“Samurai, Ishii, Torii.”
Wang Congshan carefully observed the three pictures and frowned: “This should be the potential hint given to us by the system, but I don’t know what each of them means.”
“Hmm.”
Li Ang nodded, currently the clues can only be collected here,
He looked around. After the earthquake subsided, the nearby forest fell silent again.
A layer of mist re-emerged on the surface, and the chirping of insects and birds could not be heard at night, and the silence was a little scary.
While observing the surroundings, Li Ang said, “Only one item and one skill can be selected for this script task. Have you selected it yet?”
“Selected.”
Wang Congshan said: “Anyway, I only have the ability of a planeswalker and a cardinal cube.
I chose these two.
However, due to the limitation of attribute enhancement, the upper limit of my spiritual power value has also been lowered, and it is only less than 500 points.
You can’t take out all the equipment in the Cardinal’s Cube, you can only take one or two pieces. “
After that, she tested it, and the electronic devices in the cube, such as drones, night vision devices and even flashlights, were all unusable,
At present, only a semi-automatic pistol and a body armor can be called at a relatively low cost.
The assault rifle with enchanted bullets assimilated by the Cardinal Rubik’s Cube may be due to its high quality, so a single rifle will occupy the entire share of spiritual power.
Li Ang said: “You should equip your body armor and pistol first. Planeswalker abilities are of no use here.”
Wang Congshan nodded, “What about you?”
“My gear chose this stick,”
Li Ang waved the [Heart Ape] on his hand, “As for skills, it’s psionic energy.”
There are six schools of psionic power, each of which has its own specialization, and the source of psionic power is psychic power, which is less constrained by psychic power.
Although high-level powers cannot be used due to current stat restrictions,
However, the zero-level and first-level abilities are enough to cover many special situations.
The ability to deal with supernatural phenomena is also stronger than the Swamp Divine Power System, which is also severely weakened.
“The mission goal of the first stage is to let us go to the Yuanke Village, which was supposed to be destroyed by the earthquake disaster in Showa 54.”
Li Ang looked at the road in front of him and said, “There is no time limit for the mission, so the approximate distance cannot be inferred from the time limit.
Well…let’s see if there are any shortcuts around this dirt track. “
The two explored the surroundings and found that 50 meters behind, there was a conservative wooden signpost that was battered by wind and rain and was close to decay, indicating that Yuanke Village was ahead.
Behind the wooden signpost, there is a deep rift that may have been caused by an earthquake,
The abyss below the rift is unfathomable, and the valley is filled with dense fog. If a stone is thrown down, it takes ten seconds to hear a faint sound.
And the road at the other end of the rift is also filled with thick fog.
“In horror games, this is a map boundary that is not allowed to pass.”
Li Ang looked over the rift valley, tore a vine from a nearby tree, tied one end of the vine to a stone, and wrapped the other end around the heart ape stick,
Inject spiritual power into the heart ape, slightly increase the length of the stick,
Like a fishing line, fling the vines tied to the stone,
Slightly tested the depth and width of the abyss.
The conclusion is that even if he injects all his current spiritual power into the heart ape stick,
The length of the heart ape is not enough,
There is no way to jump to the other side of the rift with pole vaulting.
“Well, it’s definitely designed to block the way.”
Li Ang sighed and loosened the vine.
Wang Congshan glanced at the rift valley filled with thick fog. If it fell, it would definitely be shattered. “Then you can only follow the directions of the road signs and keep walking along the path.”
The two of them turned back to the sheep intestines path, and walked forward by the moonlight. They saw a stone statue placed in a stone Buddhist shrine on the side of the road.
Hishima has always had a tradition of worshipping Jizo, and there are stone statues of Jizo everywhere on the roadside.
However, the Ksitigarbha stone statues in Nishima are the product of the fusion of Shinto beliefs in Nishima and Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty.
It may be the Tibetan Bodhisattva in the traditional sense,
It is also possible that it is the incarnation of Jizo Bodhisattva – Daozu God (どうそじん), the God of the Land, the God of Land, and the God of Xinglu, who is responsible for sheltering the village, preventing evil spirits, and protecting children and pedestrians.
Daozu God is a broad priesthood, not just a single god,
Therefore, the appearance and shape of the stone statues of the Taoist gods are not uniform, and there is even a “mother and child earth storehouse” holding a child.
The stone statue in front of Li Ang and Wang Congshan, with their legs crossed, their expressions soft, their eyes closed and chanting.
On the low stone platform in front of the shrine ~IndoMTL.com~ there are two short white candles to the left and right.
“On the surface of the stone platform, there are obvious signs of cleaning. The moss on the platform is much less than that on the bottom, but I don’t know the specific time for cleaning.
And the two candles should have been burned halfway out before, and the wax oil dripped along the candle itself, sticking it to the platform, so it was not blown down by the wind and rain.
Well…Since there is a Taoist god, the village should be in front. “
Li Ang used his psionic power to inspect the shrine and found nothing unusual.
Because the candle is relatively slender, he did not take it away and used it as a light source – the moonlight is still relatively bright at the moment, and there is [Elf Vision] in the psionic list, which can see things in the dark.
“There is light over there.”
Wang Congshan lowered her voice and said something, Li Ang turned around and found that through the shadows of the trees, she could vaguely see the flashing light spots not far ahead,
It’s the village lights.
