Before darkness came, the old woman Akina Morita was the witch of Inari Shrine.

At that time, the faith of Inari God spread to various nearby villages. As the daughter of the shrine priest and as a witch, she had seen the most prosperous years of the shrine.

The ear-pulling ceremony and the joy of the Kamikata are the festivals that the village has been following for a long time.

Every year, the festival begins with big red lanterns everywhere, and several nearby villages will come, making it very lively.

However, after darkness came, everything went into nothing.

His granddaughter, the new generation of Inari God's witch, was killed by the monster, and even he almost couldn't escape the disaster.

Monsters and ghosts destroy the shrines in the country of Sakura, and some ghosts and gods even steal the persons of some gods in the original traditional shrines.

It seems to be a god, but in fact it is just another means to enslave humans in captivity.

Monsters and ghosts want to completely destroy human faith, let humans forget the past from beginning to end, and regard them as gods.

However, it has only been twelve years, and many living humans still stick to their original beliefs.

The shrine is the last place for this village and the last place of spiritual hope for the old woman Akina Morita.

Without any hesitation, for the sake of faith in his heart, under the anxious shout of Akina Morita, all the adult women in the village started running towards the back mountain where the bamboo forest was located with their weapons.

"Miso, what does that monster look like? How big is it?"

Morita Akina held a samurai sword in his hand and asked while running, he didn't look like an old man with a weak body at all.

Misa Kuraki had already handed over her child to the child hiding in the house to take care of her. She also picked up a three-pointed spear and followed all the women.

At this time, when he heard Akina Morita's inquiry, Misa Kuraki, who was still nervous, suddenly became stunned.

People in this era were really scared by monsters too much, and Misa Kuraki was not originally from this village. Although she knew Inari God, her faith was not that deep.

But even though it was not deep, when I heard Akina Morita's inquiry, I suddenly became stunned when I remembered the instant of the White Fox.

Misa Kuraki stopped and her face was first surprised and then happy.

The expression on that face was very strange.

"Misa? What's wrong with you?" Akina Morita frowned and looked at Misa Kuraki who suddenly looked strange and stopped.

After coming back to his senses, Misa Kuraki murmured with a dull expression: "Mother-in-law! We seem to have made a mistake!"

"Is it wrong? What's wrong? Misa, I'll ask you how big the monster is? Don't say anything else is useless."

Akina Morita was already very anxious at this time. When he was one minute late, it might lead to the destruction of the god's shrine.

That is the inheritance of the village and her belief. Now, it is a long time to be delayed by Misa Kuraki, Kuraki.

Looking at Akina Morita's frowning and anxious gaze, Misa Kuraki finally came back to her senses, and with a little shocked and unsure, she finally said:

"Grandma Qiu Nai, the monster I saw was a fox, a white fox, probably the size of an adult dog."

"Fox? White?"

At this moment, Akina Morita was also stunned, and at the same time, all the fifty women around him who stopped.

"What did you say? Is it a white fox? Misa, you read that right?"

"What did the white fox do to you? You just said that it waved to you, right?"

“…”

Everyone, dull and stunned, suddenly, surrounded Kuraki Misa and asked anxiously.

"Yes, it's the white fox. When I saw it, it sat on the hillside of the bamboo forest in the direction of the Inari God Shrine, and even called me the front foot, as if to call me over."

At this time, I recalled the scene where I saw the white fox before, and Misa Kuraki finally discovered the details and said bitterly.

"What? Oh my God! Is it really that God Inari has arrived?"

"God is above, Misa, you won't read it wrong, right?"

The women were talking, all excited and suspicious.

They are afraid that all this is fake and that they are afraid of disappointment after hope, so it is so complicated.

"Mother-in-law, what should we do? Are we going?" asked a girl who also held a samurai sword.

"go!"

Akina Morita just sluggishly, half excited and half nervous.

Because, in this dark age, even if you see a fox, you may not be the real God of Inari.

Maybe some ghost is pretending to be a demon. Besides, is the fox necessarily the god Inari? It is also possible for the evil fox monster.

To this end, after calming down, Akina Morita immediately said to everyone behind him:

"Don't relax your guard. Even the fox body may not be the god of Inari. In short, everyone follows me closely, and you will naturally understand everything when you arrive."

"yes!"

"OK."

"Don't worry, mother-in-law, we all listen to you."

The women responded one after another.

"Okay, everyone goes into the mountain with me."

After the words came to the end, Akina Morita immediately ran to the bamboo forest with these women holding various simple weapons again.

There are many monsters in this world, but the strengths vary.

Some monsters can be killed by a single finger, while others can kill a village and a city in an instant.

However, most monsters that appear in humans are not too weak.

Let’s talk about the Izumo Kingdom. In addition to the terrifying War Lord that existed in Daming Mansion, there were nearly a hundred big monsters looking for guarding the entire Izumo Kingdom.

Each of these big monsters seeking to guard can easily destroy humans. If it weren't for the control of the Lord of War, the entire humans in Izumo might have been slaughtered by these big monsters long ago.

Of course, not every monster can eat people, but there is no doubt that monsters will have their own territory psychology. It is normal to eliminate all aliens and threatening existences in the territory.

The so-called search for a big monster refers to a type of inspection of the territory and protecting the scope of human beings from cholera by other monsters.

With them, although humans in the Izumo Kingdom are forced to provide some blood food every month, for this reason, with the protection of the monsters, they can continue to live and reproduce relatively safely.

In order to make the blood food in the territory as much as possible and even encourage humans to have more births, families with more births can also obtain some tax relief from Daming Prefecture.

In addition, in order to satisfy the other hobbies of some monsters, humans are also asked to domesticate more ordinary livestock, such as cattle and sheep, to provide them with teeth-killing sacrifices to the big monsters.

In short, under the rule of monsters, Izumo Kingdom is generally much better than other command countries, but even so, people are still in panic all day long.

After all, not everyone follows the rules when looking for big monsters. Some big monsters will swallow humans if they are a little unhappy.

Besides, Izumo Kingdom also provides many children and girls with blood food to the so-called master of the Great War Department every year. Even humans who are in their 60s must become blood food to guard the big monsters in various places.

All of this is simply unacceptable bloody squeeze for humans born before the dark age.

It’s not that humans don’t want to resist, but their ability to resist is too weak. Compared with big monsters, humans in this era can hardly cause any harm to them.

Of course, there are some powerful ghost hunters.

But the number of ghost hunters in the entire Sakura Kingdom is really too small, and these ghost hunters are almost all concentrated in Kyoto, so they can only barely maintain Kyoto and are not occupied by monsters.

In general, humans in this world are almost impossible to be opponents of monsters.

For this reason, we can see from this point that many remaining humans still care so much about the traditional gods they believe in.

Because that is the last spiritual pillar of human beings, they fantasized that just like darkness comes, the real gods will appear suddenly one day and save them.

The old woman Akina Morita doubted the true identity of the White Fox, but was actually praying.

She really longs for the arrival of Inari God, and for this she is even willing to give her life.

In this way, with a sense of suspicion and a strong desire, under the leadership of Akina Morita, the whole village finally came to the hillside of the bamboo forest.

They were about to enter the bamboo forest on the hillside, but at this moment, a white fox appeared directly from a grass.

The white fox did not show any magicality, but when it appeared not far away from everyone, its expression was full of human indifference.

"alert!"

As Akina Morita shouted, everyone stopped and faced the white fox with weapons in hand.

However, at this moment, a clear voice suddenly appeared in everyone's mind, including Akina Morita and all the women.

The voice is neutral and ethereal, and it cannot be heard from men and women, but it has a hint of magical echo.

"My name is Uka's soul-controlling god, and Inari God."

"Check the disaster of monsters in the world, God has arrived, and I believe in it now I need your help."

"According to the rules of the world, I need two girls no more than twelve years old to be witches to attract the charm of Gaotianyuan."

"If Shen Yun descends to me, he can get some divine power to eliminate the disaster of monsters and reopen the grand event of "Weiyuan China" for you, otherwise everything will be over."

"My weak divine body cannot leave the shrine for three hundred meters. Go and look for the witch. This is my last chance for you and the believers~"

The fox's voice spread throughout everyone's minds. At the same time, in order to enhance the trust of these people in themselves, An Ning pretended to have no divine power and showed a weak voice, and eventually turned into the palm-sized fox stone carving in the original shrine again.

The fox stone was carved with An Ning intention and flew into the hands of the old woman Morita Akina.

Looking at the fox stone carving in his hand that was so familiar that it could not be more familiar, at this moment, Akina Morita suddenly woke up.

Her whole body trembled, and her expression couldn't help but show shock and excitement.

"Hurry! Follow me to send Lord Inari's body back to the shrine!"

As if he was thinking of something, Akina Morita trembled and immediately ran quickly towards the shrine with the stone carving in his hand.
