Chapter 72 Demon Slayer Festival

 Chef Caibo is talking about fallacies. How can a creature be born just to be eaten and still enjoy it?

Anyway, Ling couldn't agree.

But the so-called "the anger of the cow god" is also strange. Humans eat cows not only in recent times, but also in Jibeijin. If they really get angry, they should have been angry thousands of years ago.

Moreover, compared with the island countries where farming civilization still habitually regard cattle as plowing cattle, Western countries on the other side of the ocean are truly big beef eaters, and the beef consumed by a beautiful country alone reaches tens of millions of tons every year.

This means that tens of millions of cattle are slaughtered every year in that country! If there is a cow god, isn’t it that continent that should be flattened?

Therefore, even if there is a god of greatness, it may appear for other reasons.

Ling also remembered the monk. It was dark and Ling didn't fully see the other person's appearance, but only had a rough outline. The only thing that impressed was the deep eyeshadow (eye bags?), and her pale face seemed to be coated with powder. Looking back now, it didn't look like a living face. If you want to describe it, it would be more like a remains.

Ling was also a little terrified afterwards.

The black cloth bag that was snatched from the monk was still in her bedroom. Ling didn't know what it was. Maybe Ace would know something?

Ling also plans to go again.

Although she thought it would be okay to hand it over to Ace, she still wanted to know whether it was really the anger of a cow. As a creature who also lives on Earth, whether the life born on this planet really hates humans so much.

"Maria, I'm going out."

"Okay, do you need to get Mr. Butler to prepare a car?"

"No, no, it's nearby."

She didn't plan to let Miano drive. Although she usually prefers to travel in human ways, there is no need to force herself to do this for seven or eight hours, and it is more than ten hours to go back and forth.

"I understand, are you walking nearby? Then let's go."

Maria sorted out and prepared to accompany her. This was also her daily routine at Oshima's home.

But it is obviously inconvenient for Ling at this moment.

"Maria, this time I want to walk by myself."

"But," Maria hesitated. Although Ling Ye meant to be in the manor, the manor itself was large enough that it was not completely safe in the forest.

Whether it is a wild beast or a lake, it is always unreliable for Ling to be alone.

"Miss Maria, let me accompany you... and accompany Miss Reye out." Fuko interrupted, "Is this OK, Miss?"

"Auntie Fuko, just call me Rei." She is Maria, and it's okay to be called the eldest lady, but Kinomoto Fuko is Sakura's mother. Whether it's "后小" or "后小", it always makes her call this weird.

"Okay, Ling, too."

It was nothing to let Fuko follow her. She had already known her identity very well. So without thinking too much, Ling agreed.

Maria can agree, as long as there are adults to follow, after all, the young lady will not encounter any danger in her own home.

"Thank you, Auntie Fujiko."

All the way, Fuko and the other two left the castle gate. Seeing that they were about to walk to the lake, Rei also stopped and said thanking.

If it weren't for Satsuko's rescue, she really didn't know how to explain to Maria.

"Then, I'll leave."

"Don't you take me with you?"

"Hey? Auntie Fuko, you really want to go?" Ling originally thought Fuko was speaking out to help her, but she didn't expect that she really wanted to follow her.

"Otherwise, Miss Maria will not be able to explain if she lets others see me alone."

Ah, that's true. However, she originally planned to transform into Gaia's Light and fly over in the form of light.

She hasn't tried whether Gaia's Light teleportation can bring people.

Before Ling could think too much, Fuko raised her hand and suddenly the air in front of her ripples appeared. It was a fluctuation of a different dimension, and a door formed in front of her.

Rei then remembered that the Apo people left a gift to Satsuko, the ring made of dimensional technology.

"Can this ring teleport in dimension?"

"Yes, as long as it is within the range of the earth, the dimensional door can be opened."

This is indeed convenient, but it also means that all the coordinates of the earth are not secret in front of the Yabo people.

Indeed, for an extraterrestrial civilization that is several civilization levels higher than the earth, it will only take a few minutes to master the coordinates of the entire earth.

"It's better to use less ability, otherwise the TAC team will probably be very nervous."

As Reiya said, the TAC team was strictly inspecting the dimensional fluctuations of the Abo people, and the three radar bases in Tokyo all have this function. The appearance of dimensional fluctuations often means the appearance of super beasts.

Fortunately, the fluctuation of the dimensional ring is very small and cannot reach the super beast level at all. This time it did not attract the attention of the base headquarters.

After crossing the Dimension Gate, Rei also found that it was indeed Yoshibejin. Fukako followed him, and the gate behind him disappeared.

"Just like the dimensional witch." Ling muttered.

She suddenly remembered that in the TV series she and Sakura and Chise participated in, and after watching the script settings later, the magic girl Sakura's father is Kulorido and her mother is Yuko Ichihara, and she herself has the title of "Dimensional Witch".

What a coincidence.

On the other side, on the other side of Jibeijin, a festival is being held.

The leading monk blew the snail, and behind him, someone held the Kagura bell and someone carried the Kagu.

There are soul-summoning banners with the words "Publicity of Animal Spirits" hanging around the altar, and the center is piled with firewood. Under the firewood is buried with oil-filled olive branches. When there is an open fire, the olive branches will be lit easily. The smoke rises, indicating the beginning of the ceremony.

A group of monks circled around incense, candles and bonfires, constantly reciting scriptures.

The white smoke rose to the sky with the fragrance of olives and the smell of charcoal fire when firewood burned.

The fireworks and scriptures are endless, covering this mountain forest with a mysterious atmosphere.

Perhaps just like in ancient times, people at that time also celebrated the sacrifices. The primitive and weak fear of nature, everything, and the world, and reaped awe of life.

Catch prey, but also respect prey. Lions, cows, and tigers, everything is worthy of their worship.

From the first discovery of fire, to the discovery of the secret of lightning, and even mastering a more terrifying power called technology, humans stole the power that belonged only to gods in the past, and thus lost that awe.

But arrogance will also backfire. Only when facing natural disasters can we regain a little bit of awe at that time and realize that in the face of this vast world, human beings are far less fearless than they imagined.

And super beasts are natural disasters for humans.

"Captain, look, the super beast seems to be really quiet!" Imano said with a look of surprise.

As he said, the super beast, who had been angry and irritable after sunrise, really calmed down at this time, without trampling around and destroying it, stopped in place, and seemed to be listening to something.

The TAC team originally had some letting things go to the so-called festival, but they didn't expect it to be really useful.

"Is it really because of the festival?" Yamaaka also felt a little unbelievable. You should know that just now, Imano fired anesthetic bomb at the super beast. It was designed for the super beast specially made for the Abo people, but the anesthetic bomb did not have any effect.

The most cutting-edge technology anesthesia bomb is useless, but the superstitious festival has effect. What is the reason?

"Maybe we've all got it wrong. This super beast really has nothing to do with the Yabo people. It's because it's another reason." Beidou said, this was what Ling also told him yesterday. Now it seems that what she said is true.

"For other reasons, is it really the anger of God Niu? Don't joke."

Even though things are so far, the mountains are still a little unbelievable. They are the scientific TAC team, so should they still believe in ghosts and gods?

"But, the soul really exists." Beidou emphasized.

Well, Shanzhong doesn't deny this. That was his personal experience.

"The mysterious thing cannot be explained by science. The anger of Bull Demon may be that humans are praying for forgiveness." Captain Long said to himself, "No matter what, we must protect the people who hold the ceremony. Noriko, you are driving the Araka in the air to watch, but don't attack easily, listen to my orders."

"clear!"

"Baidou, Nan, Imano, you and I are on the ground to watch, let's go to the festival. If anyone really makes trouble behind the Cattle God, I have a premonition that someone will destroy the festival."

When Long brought Beidou and the three of them to the festival, the festival was the most lively time. Everyone began to recite scriptures, the sound of gongs, drums, and conchs lingered throughout the festival.

I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, but the sound seemed to spread towards the entire Mount Olives and echoed among the mountains and ridges.

"Captain Dragon, how about the super beast?"

The mayor was waiting at the scene, and next to him was the owner of the Olive Garden and the president of Maineng Cosmetics Company. The two were worried about hearing the news that the entire Olive Garden was destroyed.

"The super beast has stopped destroying it, it seems that this festival is really useful."

"That's a must!" The mayor laughed and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "This is a ceremony that has been passed down for hundreds of years in Jibeijin, specially for the sacrifice of the Cattle God. Sometimes the things of our ancestors must not be believed."

"It is true, but shouldn't such an exorcist ceremony be the job of a witch girl?" asked Minota. In his impression, the witch girl should be the ones who dance the sacrifices and dances to exorcist evil spirits. A group of big men are not so pleasing to the eye.

"Ah, the festival is indeed the job of a witch, but we are not here in Ise Shrine. Where did the witch come from a big shrine like Izumo Taisha?"

If possible, the mayor would of course want to hold a high ceremony - just like the New Year's Festival of Ise Shrine every year, there are a group of witch sisters appearing.

Young and beautiful girls were dressed in good clothes, and red and white witches were dressed in Chiba.

It will definitely attract many tourists if you hold one every year.

The pure girl who is dedicated to the gods physically and mentally is the best weapon to eliminate evil spirits. Unfortunately, there are several priests in the village shrines, but they are not equipped with witches.

In fact, there was originally a witch in the shrine, but she chose to divorce her hometown and get married after she became an adult.

Such things as witches cannot work part-time, otherwise they will be blasphemy, so they must be trained from childhood. Of course, you can choose to leave your hometown and go back to live a normal life after adulthood.

In this era, girls have gone to school and few are willing to engage in religion. After all, their salary is not high, and the small shrine has no future.

[Niu Mo!Niu Mo! Will you believe in this clumsy prayer? Are you not resentful to humanity?]

The sound from somewhere that came made everyone in the TAC team suddenly alert.

"It's really here!"

Captain Long looked around but found no direction of the sound. The sound seemed to come from all directions, and there was no fixed source of sound at all.

"No, Captain, look at the bonfire!"

Looking in the direction that Beidou said, the bonfire that was originally burning in the center of the festival was suddenly extinguished as if it was blocked from oxygen. In just a moment, it burned from the raging to the lack of Mars.

The festival was forced to be suspended!

The priests stopped the spell and looked around blankly. For them, this was the first time that this situation had been held for a lifetime of sacrifice.

"What's wrong, what's going on?"

"It's the Demon God! It's the Demon God who is angry!"
