My golden finger is not right

four,

The king of the mountain has disappeared.

Shenyin, almost means disappearing.It was just lost by non-humans.

Generally speaking, there are four types of results of "spiritual disappearance". One is that the process is still remembered after returning safely, the other is that the process is forgotten after returning safely, the third is that the body is found, and the fourth is that there is no news and life and death are unknown. ①Unfortunately, Yamashita-kun is the fourth type.

But fortunately, at least it is not classified as the third type now.

I got the news from Ms. Keiko when I woke up early in the morning.I heard that a group of children went up to the mountain to play. On the way, Mr. Yamashita wanted to go home, so he left alone, and never came back.

When the other children went home for dinner one after another, Yamashita-kun's family found out that something was wrong, and they went to each family to ask, but what beneficial clues could a few children provide?In the end, everyone took a flashlight to the mountain to help find it, but after searching all night, it was fruitless.

It seems that I will organize people to look around that mountain again today.

I'm a little worried whether Yamashita-kun was taken away by Hachisha-sama, if that's the case, then there is no possibility of finding him back.

Strictly speaking, youkai like Hachisha-sama are very beneficial when they don't appear in front of people.

Under normal circumstances, it will only live in ancient mountains covered with lush vegetation. In normal years, it can guarantee that the area under its jurisdiction will have good weather and less disasters.But once the "year of misfortune" comes every ten years, it will come down from the mountain and look for "companions" that suit its eyes everywhere, and then confuse them and take them away.

And these "companions" who were taken away, basically none of them can come back.

But this is the rule, the rule that people and monsters can live in harmony.

In the past, in order to pray for good weather and enough food to survive the cold winter, people often made an agreement with some spirits in the mountains, and exchanged for smooth agricultural production by offering sacrifices or enshrining their statues.

However, not every monster makes an agreement with humans in this way. Some monsters will obtain satisfaction by choosing humans as companions or food.

And these people who are photographed by the monsters will be hidden away accordingly.

Only in modern times, with the strengthening of human power and the destruction of the natural environment, some monsters disappeared in the increasingly exposed mountains and forests, and the agreements made with the ancestors of the local people also disappeared in the long river of time.

The place where the gods and kings hide at the foot of the mountain is called Nobiro Mountain. The mountain is towering and shrouded in clouds and mist all the year round. Therefore, the local residents have said from generation to generation that the mountain god's resting place is at the peak of Nobiro, where the fog is thickest.

But in fact, due to the barrier of fog, no one has reached the top of the mountain so far, so it is not easy to say whether there are mountain gods.

But I'm guessing it's probably...

Because of Yamashita-kun, the teachers in the kindergarten were very worried for a while, and took extra care of each child. It was already a week later when I came to the house where the monster lived again.

To my surprise, the monster in the mirror finally took care of me.

It was very dissatisfied with my failure to hand in the offering on time, and it didn't ease up a little until I explained the reason.

"...So, you humans are the most troublesome..." It patted the mirror with its soft flesh pad, "One eight feet can cause so many troubles..."

I was a little surprised when I heard this: "How do you know that Yamashita-kun was taken away by Mr. Hachishaku?"

"Little ghost, there is no one else except Hachichi for the ghosts who can only come out to find something to eat until this season..." It said and motioned for me to pass today's "offering" in front of the mirror, then grabbed it and began to bite. As a result, because of the bulging in the mouth, the voice of speaking also seemed strange.

"...However, as long as you prepare an offering for me honestly, there is no need to pay too much attention to this matter. The hachichi on the next mountain... how should I put it, it probably won't eat that brat. .”

"No, it should be absolutely not..."

Then, it told me, who was confused, about the Hachishi-sama who took Yamashita-kun away: At the beginning, the Hachisha who lived in Nobiro was a very violent monster. At dusk, pretend to be human, confuse the hunters who go up the mountain, and then eat them beyond recognition.

Later, it was probably because there was too much commotion, and a wandering monk at that time cleaned it up, but after all, at that time, human beings were in decline and needed the ability to bless one party with eight feet, and there was a mountain god watching by the side. , so I just set a rule that I can only go down the mountain once every few years, and then nothing happened.

However, the monk was considered a relatively strong stranger. He made a spell that Bachi dared not approach into a spell, and passed it on to the local residents to deal with the "bad year" when Bachi went down the mountain every ten years.

In this way, even if it waits until the day when it can appear in front of people, because of the spell, it can only wander around until the deadline, and then return to the mountain with nothing.

This situation lasted for a long time, until one day, it was broken by a man and woman who ate the forbidden fruit.

At that time, in a landlord's house, there was a young lady who secretly communicated with the servants about the song, because they had an affair with each other, and their belly was swollen during the day, so the two decided to elope together and reunite in a place where no one knew. start.

Just as they were packing up their belongings and preparing to leave, their affairs were reported to the landlord, who was the lady's father.

This angered the landlord who originally wanted to send his daughter to the general's mansion as a favor. After quickly killing the servant who had an affair with his daughter, he brought a bowl of abortion pills to his daughter.

But what happened in this part, no one knows, the next part that can be known is that the lady escaped and fled to Nobiro Mountain.

with the child in her womb.

And that day happened to be the first day Bachi could go down the mountain.

Perhaps the lady at that time thought that instead of killing the child and living like a dead man, it would be better to pray for the mercy of the mountain god and seek a blessing for her unborn child.After all, she who was about to give birth and was struggling to go up the mountain was already exhausted.

It's a pity that she didn't meet the mountain god in the end.

Instead, when she was curled up under a tree and was about to give birth, she happened to bump into Bachi who went down the mountain the first day.
