Earth Immortal Righteous Path

Chapter 406 The Lost Orb

An owl flies across the sky and lands on a tree.

"Ok?"

The vigilant masked ninja looked over.

"There is no evil spirit, is it a shikigami manipulated by an onmyoji?"

I thought so in my heart.

This ninja lurking in Yin Yin did not dare to be careless.

He tentatively threw a shuriken.

The owl was hit, and there was a burst of yellow smoke.

"Poison mist! It really is a shikigami!"

The ninja ran out of his hiding place and avoided the poisonous mist by jumping a few times.

The yellow poisonous mist spread rapidly in the woods, but all the trees it touched quickly withered, withered, and turned into rotten wood at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then, there was a strange scream, as sharp as a cat's cry when its tail was stepped on, fierce and dry.

A monster disguised as a tree, whose whole body seemed to be wax, melted and quickly turned into a puddle of pus.

Then the whole grove fell into dead silence so thoroughly.

There is only a poisonous mist with yellow phosphorescence shrouded here.

"Gudu... Gudu..."

The ninja who escaped by chance could clearly hear the sound of himself swallowing saliva.

Just now, as long as his reaction is a little slower, now he, like that monster, will turn into a puddle of pus.

"... really a vicious shikigami, a vicious onmyoji."

With lingering fear, the ninja made a few quick jumps and returned to the avenue.

He wanted to take the news back and tell Master Cuizi that there is an onmyoji who likes to use shikigami to slacken the poisonous mist.

When encountering shikigami, be wary of this poisonous mist.

You know, when their group entered the capital, they were already discovered by layers of barriers.

The trained demon ninja felt the huge and thin monitoring barrier long before entering the border.

Along the way, they also endured the crowds of various shikigami.

Kyoto is the base camp of Onmyouliao, which is actually the private land of Onmyoji.

Naturally, they will always pay attention to their team.

When they encounter a shikigami who stares too closely, they will simply destroy it.

If you are caught off guard and create the poisonous mist just now...
"We must bring back this news..."

This loyal ninja quickened his pace.

···········
"Oh? Someone actually triggered my Poison Mist Shikigami?"

"That's reserved for the tricky monsters that appear... Forget it, this one is not bad."

When Shikigami disappeared, Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan paid attention there.

"The strongest witch, Cuizi, this name is really familiar."

Yinyangliao officially issued an order.

Even a well-known out-of-home Onmyoji like Xiu Yuan received the notice.

In fact, all onmyojis who live in Kyoto are nominally under the supervision of the Onmyoji, and must be reported.

Of course, most of the time, everyone will give Yinyangliao a face.

After all, the latter holds the official rank and is an official institution.

Joining Yinyangliao, you can borrow national resources, read many rare ancient books, and even get a salary.

"The Huakaiyuan is also on the list. Of course, whether to go or not is entirely up to voluntary."

A lark fluttered its wings and spoke words.

"This time, it's not about Yin and Yang. It's just that the other party is a high-ranking witch who has mastered rare spiritual objects, so I can't help paying attention."

"As for the contribution, it's all a matter of personal choice, and Yin Yang Liao is only responsible for dealing with the turmoil caused by it."

"The final remuneration will be paid by the witch, and Yin Yang Liao will not be responsible."

In other words, in fact, Yinyangliao doesn't want to take care of this kind of thing, but just wants to calm the turmoil in Kyoto.

"What a bureaucratic idea."

Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan sneered.

"Haven't those noble masters never thought about why the other party fled to the capital?"

"This is beyond what I can know... Yinyang Liao is originally managed by bureaucrats, including you, but they all receive salaries in name, and theoretically we all have official status serving officials."

"It's just a top-ranked Ph.D., how much salary can I get for a year?"

During the reign of Emperor Tenmu, the official organization "Yinyang Liao" to which Onmyoji belonged was formally established.scribe
It belongs to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Zuobian Bureau, and Yinyang Liao has one chief "Yinyangtou", one doctor of Yinyang, one doctor of astronomy, one doctor of calendar, two doctors of Louke and six onmyojis.

Its main responsibilities are to be responsible for formulating astronomy and calendars, judging auspiciousness and disasters, surveying geomorphology, geomantic omen, holding rituals, etc. There are 89 people at disposal.

Yin-Yang Dao has now become a part of the legal system, and whoever controls the "Yin-Yang Liao" is equal to having the ability to interpret everything.

Yin and Yang Tao became the emperor's imperial study.

Leak moment is the water clock.

Dr. Leak is responsible for managing time.The official products start from seven.

Dr. Leu Kequan is a deputy.

Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan is just a nominal onmyoji.

It belongs to the leaky way.

The famous Abe Seimei, the highest position he held in Yinyangliao was a doctor of astronomy, which he took over from his teacher Ka Mao Zhongxing.

At the highest level, his own official rank reached up to four, which is a special case.

In fact, even Yinyangtou, the chief official of Yinyangliao, has only five official ranks.

This shows Seimei's special status.

It is worth mentioning that these positions are often passed down from father to son, but the position of doctor of astronomy was not passed on to his son, but to Seimei, his favorite student.

This caused He Mao Baoxian (the son of He Mao Zhongxing) to dislike Qingming for a time, but they are still close friends.

All in all, Yinyangliao belongs to the only official organization of Onmyoji.

Onmyojis everywhere still have to accept management.

As for private, it's hard to say.

Ashiya Michimitsu was against Yinyang Liao, but was defeated by Seimei and exiled to the Harima area.

Confronting Yin-Yang Liao head-on, even Qingming can hardly do it, unless it is him in the later stage.

"Yinyangliao doesn't want to cause trouble, but things have already come to the door. What kind of spiritual object did that fallen witch take? It seems very important."

"Could it be the eight-foot Qiong Gouyu. The eight-foot mirror, the grass pheasant sword?"

"No, those three artifacts are still enshrined properly and have not been stolen."

"What was stolen was a strange gem, because it was full of spiritual power, which symbolized the perfection of the four souls, so it was called the gem of the four souls."

"It is said that it has quite powerful spiritual power, and even because of that powerful spiritual power, if you make a wish to it, it is very likely to come true."

"Any wish can come true?"

"Of course not. It's limited to some ordinary people's wishes. In fact, all of them can be realized with Yin-Yang Art. It's just that Baoyu's own spiritual power speeds up the process, so it seems unbelievable."

"In essence, it's just a high-level spiritual thing that condenses a lot of spiritual power. Although this kind of thing is rare, it's nothing to Yinyangliao."

"If it weren't for the unique power of this jade bead, which symbolizes the perfection of the four souls, it would change according to the good and evil thoughts of the people, and it wouldn't attract so many witches to hunt it down."

"I see."

Xiuyuan thought about it.

If you guessed right, this jade bead
