Chapter 391: Ghost Abyss and the Diary Prophecy
Since the plane was already prepared, Chu Jiang didn’t fly by himself but went with Soga Hayayuki and the others.
On the plane, Chu Jiang was interested in the old man dressed like a farmer. He greeted Chu Jiang warmly and even gave him grapes called "Sun King" that he grew himself.
According to Soga Hayayuki, this Ghost Master has a powerful ability to save his own life, which is related to the bundle of leather behind him.
In the island country, this thing is called "Fūri Fuki." It was originally used to wrap clothes when going to the bathhouse.
As time went by, people in the island country discovered that it could be used to wrap almost anything, so Fūri Fuki became widely used until it became rare in modern times.
The purpose of sending this elderly Ghost Master to the Peaceful Spirit Garden is not to unleash his formidable combat power. It is just to ensure that if Chu Jiang and the others all fail in battle, there’s someone who can escape and send a message.
Let the people outside know how Chu Jiang and the others died, and what special abilities Yamata no Orochi has.
When Chu Jiang looked at the old man’s Fūri Fuki, it seemed a lot like "Doraemon’s Time Wrap," except for the different patterns.
……
Half an hour later, a helicopter arrived over Mie Prefecture in Nagoya. Looking down from the sky, a horrifying scene could be seen.
Suddenly, a huge black abyss appeared on the ground. It was incredibly large, as if this place had been hit by a meteorite comparable to a small asteroid. It seemed to have disintegrated in mid-air before even reaching the ground.
However, there were no obvious signs of impact at the edge of the abyss. There were even some remnants of utility poles and buildings. Obviously, when that disaster happened, not many people could escape from here. They were swallowed in an instant.
Moreover, after getting closer to this area, Chu Jiang heard a strange sound. It was somewhat like the hissing of a snake, but also like the roar of some kind of monster, mixed with a few quiet sobs.
Even though the sound was faint, Chu Jiang could sense that there was a supernatural power hidden within it…
"What do you think?" Kujo Kazuki proactively looked at Chu Jiang and spoke in a gentle tone, "Captain Chu, which direction do you plan to enter from? Or do you want to observe the area for a day or two?"
Chu Jiang shook his head, "Right here is fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, he opened the aircraft door and jumped out on his own initiative! Even the pilot was startled by this.
Of course, Chu Jiang didn’t fall straight down, he just floated in the air.
He flew around the entire Ghost Abyss, waved at the airplane, then landed, and tried to slide down little by little from the edge of the Ghost Abyss…
Seeing Chu Jiang start to move, Soga Hayayuki looked at the other two, "Let’s go too, even if we can’t seal the big snake in the end, we should at least share some of the pressure with Mr. Chu."
Kujo Kazuki nodded, and the old man also solemnly agreed. This time he came, regardless of life or death, his family would receive generous rewards.
……
As Chu Jiang officially stepped into the Ghost Abyss, it suddenly started to drizzle with Xiao Yu.
But what’s amazing is that the sky was clear, as if the rain appeared out of nowhere.
Chu Jiang deliberately expanded the Ghost Domain, to prevent the rain from falling on him. At the same time, he also collected some rainwater in front of him and analyzed its composition.
However, Chu Jiang didn’t find anything unusual, not even a trace of paranormal power.
Since that’s the case, Chu Jiang took out the Ghost Diary and started his daily unreliable prophecy.
This time, he learned from his previous encounter with the false god and didn’t venture deep into the Ghost Abyss before using it again. Otherwise, who knows if he would even have a chance to use it.
After sealing a ghost specifically for dealing with money-lovers, the Copper Coin Ghost, into it, the Ghost Diary once again displayed a prophecy:
[February 8th, clear weather, no clouds but rain.]
[The young master, not yet a hundred years old, carries the worries of a thousand years. Days are short and nights are long, why not wander with a candle?]
Chu Jiang was a bit surprised when he saw this passage. What does it mean? Is it a pickup line?
After waiting for a while without seeing the rest of the text, Chu Jiang couldn’t help but tap the Ghost Diary. "What about the next part? Where’s the next part?"
You see, Chu Jiang had been using the Ghost Diary for a while now, and this was the first time he had come across such an unbelievable prophecy.
In the past, the Ghost Diary had also given weak and short prophecies, like "Today the school is haunted, everyone died, including me." But in that short sentence, at least there was a time, a place, a cause, characters, and an ending.
This is so unusual, like a sentence in an old-fashioned poem.
Is Ghost Diary getting revenge because Chu Jiang didn’t follow its advice last time?
This thing is becoming more and more disobedient. Chu Jiang couldn’t help but threaten, "So, you still want me to continue sealing ghosts inside?"
"Do you believe that I will throw you into the Ghost Abyss and let you accompany Yamata no Orochi?"
It’s unclear whether Chu Jiang’s threat had any effect, but there were finally some additional words below the original content.
[Today, I went into the Ghost Abyss and discovered something amazing. There’s really a sword inside the snake’s tail, and it’s because of this sword that I died…]
After making sure that the Ghost Diary had nothing else to say, Chu Jiang closed it with a snap and put it away.
Honestly, when Chu Jiang saw the Ghost Diary saying he would die, he felt a tiny bit happy in his heart.
Don’t get it wrong, he’s not into sadomasochism. It’s just that after Sister Bel said those words to him, he had a slightly bad guess in his mind.
After that, Chu Jiang didn’t hurry to go deep into the Ghost Abyss, he thought about it for a while.
The prophecy given by the Ghost Diary is very interesting. Let’s not mention the previous sentence for now. It says that Chu Jiang will die under the sword in the tail of Yamata no Orochi.
Could this sword be the "Ame no Murakumo" from the island nation’s mythology? One of the three sacred treasures, also known as the "Kusanagi Sword" and "Tomukarai".
But thinking about it, Chu Jiang thinks it’s unlikely because the ghost in the Ghost Abyss is not likely to be the mythical serpent. It’s just a temporary code name given by outsiders.
Even the myth of Yamata no Orochi came into being after the ancient people of the island nation saw this ghost.
In addition, there is indeed a "Ame no Murakumo" sword in the island nation, still enshrined in Atsuta Shrine in Aichi Prefecture, including the Yata no Kagami and the Yakumo no Chō-yu.
Of course, these things are mainly made by the ruling authorities of the island nation to conform to the myths and demonstrate their own legitimate divine authority. In theory, they can make hundreds of them.
If we exclude the mythical factors, then this sword is either a seal or the essence of the ghost, or a part of the ghost.
In the following actions in the Ghost Abyss, Chu Jiang must be careful with anything that looks like a sword; although he may not necessarily die under a sword, at least there is a possibility, which is why it is foreseen by the Ghost Diary.
