Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 225 Test Confirmation
Since Buddhism, this foreign religion, was introduced to this country and localized, its development process has not been very smooth.

First of all, there is a local religion here, which is Shintoism, which believes in various "gods". From a secular perspective, this local religion is believed to be born out of the worship of all natural phenomena.

At the level of spells, there is no problem in saying this. After all, aren’t curses also included in the category of natural phenomena? According to those magicians who study the history of spells, this local pan-spiritual religion may have originally originated from the Some curses are even worshiped and worshiped by conjurers.

Needless to say, the status of Shintoism in this country goes without saying. From the fact that the descendants of the supreme ruler call themselves 'Amaterasu', it can be seen that they are closely connected with the whole country.

Until the introduction of Buddhism, the timing of its arrival was perfect. It was introduced when mantra was beginning to revive, and now it is at its peak, and the teachings of Buddhism make it easily acceptable among the people.

The gradual resurgence and raging of curses caused Buddhist believers in this country to start spreading doctrines in an attempt to "save" those ignorant people about reincarnation, the afterlife, merit...Buddhism quickly gained a foothold among ordinary people who did not know the existence of curses.

Seeing that this trend continues, even the power level will "believe" in Buddhism, because for them religion is just a means to stabilize their own authority and rule. They don't care whether it is local Shintoism or spread Buddhism, as long as it is beneficial to them Everyone can be treated as a distinguished guest.

However, due to the deep binding between the royal family and the local gods, this process was delayed a lot. With the help of Shintoism, Buddhism was suppressed for a long time.

But when the Heian Era came, this kind of suppression was stretched thin. Firstly, the continuous curse incidents distracted the energy of all parties. Secondly, when the lives of people were in ruins, it became easier for Buddhist doctrines to spread and be believed.

In terms of the volume of spells, Shintoism can overwhelm Buddhism, which has not yet fully gained momentum. However, some people want to use Buddhism to suppress Shintoism, thereby suppressing the royal family's undisputed status that continues to this day.

Kangenichi and Mizuno Shiina came to this Buddhist holy place. Their purpose of coming here is naturally self-evident, because the clues about the suspected Tengen point here.

Mount Hiei.

This person was very good at barrier skills and had gained a lot of status in the Tiantai Sect. Regardless of whether he was Tian Yuan or not, Shenyuan Yi felt that he had to come and meet him.

After revealing their identities, the two met the master Saicheng who founded the Tiantai Sect under the respectful guidance of the monk.

So everyone knew that the Fujiwara family member was recruiting talents in this field, and that if he got involved in something like setting up a barrier across the country, he might be able to go down in history, and the forces in need would naturally not miss it.

The girl who used to be can now stand beside him, not to mention that the world has changed and there is no return. Whether it is a spellcaster or an ordinary person, the span of ten years cannot be easily ignored.

The Fujiwara family's spies didn't get this clue based on magic or appearance, but relied on the condition of barrier magic.

As a result, a divisive situation was formed. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was only a matter of time before Buddhism came to this stage. After all, this kind of teaching that benefits the ignorant and ordinary people is too beneficial.

……

After complimenting each other, the two got down to business. The wishes of both parties were obvious. Shenyuanyi needed the help of this barrier master, and Tiantai Sect or Buddhism needed to use this to further spread their name, even if it was just As an inconspicuous part of the participation.

It was a middle-aged man with a smile on his face and peaceful features. After seeing Shenyuan Yi, he clasped his hands and bowed his head in salute: "I have heard about you for a long time, and when I saw you today, I really had to sigh that there are people outside of us. It’s the reincarnation of a god.”

Saicho lamented that Shenyuan Yi certainly knew why. Although ten years passed by in a blink of an eye, time seemed to be unable to leave any traces on him. His current appearance has not changed at all from the beginning.

That's right, it's Buddhism. The Tendai Sect, founded by Master Saicho on Mount Hiei, was very interested in it and introduced a barrier master. After screening, this piece of information finally reached the hands of Shenyuan.

"I have also heard the name of the master..."

Speaking of which, it is also due to the actions of Shenyuan Yi and others to lay a nationwide barrier. Such a good deed worthy of being praised all over the world is naturally not that easy to accomplish. Recruiting magicians who are good at barrier techniques is one of them.

The Fujiwara family's actions to seize power accelerated this process. Buddhism was declared the state religion. Although Shintoism still controls the power of worship for the royal family and others, it has gradually begun to lose power among today's people.

"Then I'll call her to come."

Shenyuan's eyes moved slightly, and the language here must be able to distinguish "he, she, it" from the spoken language. Listening to Master Saicheng's words, this person seems to be a woman, and this makes the possibility that this person is Tianyuan more It went up a bit.

This is because Shenyuan Yi originally learned from the information sent to him by Gojo Satoru that Master Tianyuan, who has an immortal technique and whose modern appearance has completely broken away from the human category, was originally a woman. After a while, a woman wearing monk's robes walked in. Her face was extremely ordinary, except for her calm eyes, which were like an ancient well that had not changed for thousands of years, forever reflecting the outside world and almost without itself. The change.

After Saicho introduced Shenyuan Yi to him, both parties bowed, and then Shenyuan Yi asked about the other person's name. Unsurprisingly, both the lay name and the monk's name were related to the word "Tian Yuan". There is no connection.

So Shenyuanyi raised a key question: "What is your technique?"

To be honest, this question is a bit presumptuous. Although disclosure of spells is something that many magicians do, it does not mean that you can spy on other people's spells at will. After all, some spells are not suitable for disclosure, even some extreme ones. Just being informed by the enemy may cause life-threatening consequences.

But Shenyuan Yi still asked, and just when Sai Cheng's heart skipped a beat and she didn't know what to do, the woman spoke: "I don't know."

A somewhat unexpected answer. It stands to reason that as long as you awaken the Shengde technique, you can naturally understand its effect just by using it. However, the other party's answer was that he didn't know the technique rather than that he didn't have the technique.

So this is a bit intriguing, because it means that the woman has a birth control technique, but the spell is so difficult to trigger that the other party doesn't understand what the effect is.

As for Sai Cheng, it is not clear but it is easy to understand. The woman is a common orphan who lost her family due to disasters in this era. After being adopted by him, she also entered Buddhism. Although she has the qualifications for spells, she is more talented in enchantment. Sai Cheng I don't expect her to become a powerful spellcaster, as long as she can spend this life in relative peace and joy.

After hearing the woman's answer, Shenyuan Yi fell into a brief silence. The guess in his mind that she was Tian Yuan was now very solid, and next he would do a test to be 100% sure.

The woman's body suddenly trembled. In her confused eyes and the most frightened look beside her, a blade had already penetrated into her chest, and the vicious blade was held in Shenyuan Yi's hand.

"you……"

Saicho took action in anger, and Mizuno Shiina, who had been standing behind Kangenichi, rushed forward in an instant, and stopped him with his hands that were strengthened by the technique. Although the current situation was very abnormal, it was impossible for Kangenichi to be defeated. Sai Cheng was hurt, but she would never tolerate them offending adults.

Saicheng is a leader in Buddhist teachings, but it does not mean that he has the same attainments in spells. However, this is just for Shenyuan Yi. According to normal standards, his strength is pretty good.

At least Mizuno Shiina almost didn't stop Saicho. She still relied on the body strengthened by the technique to block the latter who had no time to use the technique. Just when the situation was about to worsen, the uproared Saicho suddenly and strangely changed back to kneeling. posture.

Shenyuan Yi, who took out the cursed knife in his hand, signaled him to calm down: "Shh! Don't disturb me."

Shenyuanyi, who is always ready to use magic to reverse it, observes the dying woman. The way to determine Tianyuan's identity is also very simple, that is to kill her!

Tianyuan, who has the 'immortal' spell, will naturally trigger the effect passively. If not, Shenyuanyi can also trace it back to before death. Nothing will happen, but the impression will be very bad.

Saicho repeatedly switched between standing up and kneeling down. No matter whether he tightened the blood vessels on his forehead or tried to use spells, there was strangely no follow-up. He was trapped by inexplicable power!
The woman on the ground lost her last breath in confusion. After a few breaths, Shenyuan looked at the motionless body, and just when he was about to use magic to save it, he denied that guess.

There was something strange about this corpse. It was trembling again even though it was 100% confirmed to be dead. A strange spell rose from it. Some unknown changes were happening!

"I didn't expect it to be..."

The Wheel of Time·Inverse

Interrupting the Tianyuan spell, since it was confirmed that she was the Tianyuan Queen, there was no need to let her use the spell to come back to life, lest they really thought they wanted to kill her.

Seeing this scene, Saicho was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't even notice that the restraints on his body had disappeared. He was stunned by this method of resurrection from the dead. He had heard that the Fujiwara family worshiped perhaps the strongest magician in the world. means of killing.

But he didn't expect that the other party had such a method that could reverse life and death, but why did he want to kill someone?

"I found you, Tianyuan!"
