I’m a Witch In Dongying

　　 Seeing the mother and daughter piously closing their eyes to pray, Bai Shuiqiu felt a little nervous, always feeling as if she was cheating money. But what this kind of thing brings them is more of a kind of psychological comfort, so Bai Shuiqiu doesn't feel guilty.

and……

　　 [Daily task: pray for death (in progress), current progress 5/50]

　　 This mission appeared after the Painted Skin event ended. It has only been more than half a month, and the current completion rate has just exceeded 10%.

　　 This is the result of Bai Shuiqiu's hard work.

Most of the visitors who come to the shrine to worship are due to problems in school, career, family, etc., who come to pray for good luck and blessings. There are not many cases like the Moribe family. The task of completing tasks is also I can only figure it out slowly.

　　After finishing a ritual.

　　The mother and daughter of the Moribe left the shrine thankfully, and bought a few Omori before they left——

　　 Of course, they are all ordinary versions, but compared with those shrines without practitioners, they still have a little bit of spiritual power. They are used as amulets, and there is no big problem.

　　 The sun's twilight is slanting to the west.

　　 At this time, there are no more visitors to the shrine.

　　 Shirasumiaki and Kanako stood in front of the gate of the shrine, watching the figures of the guests disappear on the approach, after a while, they heard Kanako sigh softly:

　　 "Obviously, I have been dead for so long, and I insisted on keeping it till now, just to say the late ‘sorry’... When this father passed away, he must be very worried about his daughter..."

　　 "Yeah, if this weren't the case, he might not be able to form a spirit body."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu lowered his eyes slightly.

　　 Persistence and feelings are necessary conditions for the formation of a spiritual body.

　　 Generally, those who can form a spirit body do not die normally, but because of various accidental deaths, after death, there will be more or less resentment, and a situation of being dominated by ferociousness appears. Even close relatives, they may be unconsciously impacted by them.

　　While Moribe Takeru has a calm mind, is not aggressive, and can even communicate with living people to a certain extent, it is actually very rare.

　　 Compared with those evil spirits who are about to kill at every turn...

　　 is really a lot easier.

　　In other words... Kanako's father died unexpectedly too, right?

　　And this girl once saw the spirit body of her father at her father's funeral.

　　 The experience of the mother and daughter of Moribu, I am afraid, to some extent, it allows her to see her own past...

Bai Shuiqiu was still hesitating. If he wanted to comfort him or something, he saw Kanako turning around, looking at Bai Shuiqiu's right hand that was holding the talisman just now, and then asked in a tentative tone: " That, Lord Baishui...

　　 Can you teach me the kind of talisman you used in front of the mother and daughter? "

"Ok?"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu didn't expect that Kanako would suddenly ask that. She was taken aback, and then smiled lightly: "This kind of thing is not that easy to learn, and...you may not be able to learn it."

　　 is different from the defensive guard, which can be effective against ghosts and evils as long as it is carried on the body.

　　 talisman, hand tactics, incantation... these things are only qualified to touch by practitioners with spiritual power.

　　 Even Bai Shuiqiu, when he first came into contact with this kind of thing, the yield of drawing talisman was horribly low.

but……

　　 If it is only used purely, it may not be that difficult.

　　Because Kanako is a rare spiritual media quality, in terms of spiritual vision, she is similar to her grandmother Chiyo, and can only barely feel the existence of demons. Since Chiyo can master the usage of talisman and magical implements under the condition of acquired training, then Kanako might also have this potential.

　　With this girl's physique, there is a high probability that she will encounter other sneaky creatures in the future.

　　 It is a very useful thing for her to improve her self-protection ability.

　　 As for helping himself to cook monsters, Bai Shuiqiu didn't think so much.

　　 I hope to teach this girl from a blank sheet of paper to become an exorcist like her grandmother in a short time...

　　I might as well spend more time on myself to improve my attainments in talisman and magic.

　　 "Next time if I have time, I will try to teach you... Well, by the way, you can call Asuka together, and I will help you popularize some spiritual knowledge.

　　 As for how much you can learn, it depends on your own luck. "

　　 Bai Shuiqiu said lightly.

　　 "Thank you Shirasui-sama!" Kanako was surprised.

"Ah."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu also smiled, and said, "It's getting late. You should go home and rest early. See you tomorrow.

Chapter 258

　　 After Kanako packed up her things and left, Bai Shuiqiu turned around and returned to the shrine, entered the inner room, and replaced the witch costume she had worn for a day.

the other side.

Hyuga Asuka is also cleaning the worship hall, counting the money box for a day’s credit, and placing the remaining emma and fortune-telling in order, and then inspecting the inside and outside of the shrine and confirming that there is nothing. The guest returned to the inner room only after the things left behind.

　　 Then he replaced the red and white that he was wearing outside, washed his hands by the sink, put on an apron, and prepared to help Chiyo choose dishes and cook.

　　 "Well, Asuka, you don't need to be so diligent..."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu felt a little embarrassed looking at the girl's busy schedule.

After all, even if she is herself, the housework usually revolves around the trivial things in the shrine, and helping her grandma cook or something... It’s not that she doesn’t have this thought, but it’s a bit beyond her. Ability category.

　　—Bai Shuiqiu’s cooking skill is basically the point of cooking egg fried rice and laying down the noodles. Even if he wants to help subjectively, his objective ability is really weak. If he rushes in, he will easily mess with his grandmother. So in most cases, what she can do for Chiyo is washing vegetables and eating.

　　 And now...

　　 Ming Mingmei Shrine only hired two part-time witches, but from the look of Hyuga Asuka, it looks like it has hired a maid back...

　　 "Autumn, it's okay."

When hearing Bai Shuiqiu's words, Hyuga Asuka raised the tip of her ears, raised a smile, and said quietly, "When I was at home, I often helped my parents with these housework. Sometimes I have to help customers kill fish or something...Because my house is an aquatic product shop, these things are actually used to doing things.

　　 And I’m staying here now, and I usually cause a lot of trouble for you and Grandma Chiyo. Do something to help you do something, and it’s just to offset the rent. "

　　 "……"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu pursed his lips and did not speak.

　　 This idea is actually easy to understand.

It is very common for friends to stay overnight for a day or two. Both parties will not have any special ideas. However, if you live for a long time and are not sure when you will live, it is usually very common. It's hard to understand.

Even if Bai Shuiqiu doesn't care, but for Hyuga Asuka, it is another matter. With this girl's temperament, it is normal to find ways to pay the rent through some other methods to relieve the psychological pressure. matter. And this kind of thing does not have much to do with whether the friendship between the two is close or not.

　　If Hyuga Asuka really doesn't care, but takes the lodging as a matter of course...it would be no different from a rogue like Hyuga Moriji.

　　 Therefore, after a short period of hesitation, Bai Shuiqiu stopped saying anything and kept his attitude of letting it go.

　　 However, although Hyuga Asuka said lightly in his words, when the word "parents" was mentioned just now, the girl's expression was obviously gloomy for a moment. It was probably out of the mentality that he didn't want Bai Shuiqiu to be embarrassed, and didn't stop at this topic.

　　 "...When tomorrow is daytime, I'll call to ask Kurimi Naruya, how is the affairs of the Hyuga's house going?"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu thought so in his heart.

It has been several days since Hyuga’s family affairs were reported. Except when they met Dachuan that day, Bai Shuiqiu and Li Jiancheng also met in the hospital. In the next few days, the two did not contact each other much, so Bai Shuiqiu was right. The latest development of the matter is unknown.

　　 But things must have a result.

　　 No matter what kind of punishment Okawa will be punished, and whether the Hyuga couple will be prosecuted and deprived of custody, it is necessary to understand the current situation in time to prepare early.

　　……

　　 That night.

　　 Shiraizu, Hyuga Asuka, and Chiyo had dinner together.

　　 The room where Hyuga Asuka is now living in was the cheap father Bai Shuiqiu lived in. After being cleaned up, new bedding and pillows were laid.

　　 This girl is very adaptable to the environment, and in just a few days, she has adapted to life in Tenmu Shrine. Every morning when I get up, I clean up the beds and tables in order, and clean the room to the corridor again, and my clothes are washed quietly and hung in the yard to dry. There is no need for Baishuiqiu or Chiyo to worry about it. .

　　 Well, in fact, Hyuga Asuka stayed at Tenme Shrine, which has another advantage for Shirasuiqiu.

　　 is to have someone "discuss" when doing homework at night.

　　Hyuga Asuka's grades have always been good. Although he is not as genius as Keiko Kandaji, most subjects are ranked in the forefront of the class. With her help, Bai Shuiqiu is a lot easier when doing homework than before.

　　 As for the time and energy saved...

　　 was all used by Bai Shuiqiu to train talisman and swordsmanship.

　　 The same is true today.

　　 After dinner, the two girls got up and cleaned the dishes, then Hyuga Asuka returned to the bedroom, ready to take a bath and change clothes, while Bai Shuiqiu walked with the snow and walked out through the courtyard of the shrine.

　　 first pierced his index finger with a needle in a corner outside the shrine, and released the puppet doll. Under the cover of the main body and bushes, he carefully changed into the pre-prepared vest and shorts.

　　 then controlled the body and the puppet doll at the same time, passing through the forest one after the other, walking in the direction of the back mountain of Tianmu Mountain.

　　 During this process, the wind raccoon also followed her silently, with a furry head looking around, jumping a few steps in a certain direction from time to time, and jumping directly along the trunk to the top of the big tree.

In the sound of 　　 rushing, the two of them pushed aside the bushes and came to the creek in the back mountain.

　　 After arriving at the place, Bai Shuiqiu started his daily sword-swing practice.

　　 The puppet doll was in the clearing by the creek, posing as an octopus boxing posture, and slowly fought.

　　 This level of "one mind and two uses" is still a bit difficult.

　　 But Bai Shuiqiu has been immersed in Bajiquan for a few months after all, and his martial arts level has also been improved from the initial lv1 to lv2. Various tricks have long been familiar to the heart, and he has formed an almost instinctive physical memory. The movements used when practicing swords are just a few monotonous and repetitive sword-swing movements, which don't require much thought.

　　 Therefore, after a few minutes of careful exploration, the movements of Bai Shuiqiu and the puppet doll became unfamiliar from the very beginning, and gradually became coherent.

Chapter 259

　　 For a time, under the bright white moonlight.

　　 I saw two figures of Bai Shuiqiu, moving separately in this clearing by the stream.

　　 The main body holds the snow in both hands, and every time he swings his sword, there is a slight wind breaking sound. The sharp knife light gleams under the moonlight, revealing a penetrating chill.

　　 The puppet doll next to him was in the middle of his ups and downs, punching a complete set of Octopus fists, and the fists and ankles brought up a burst of fist wind.

　　 with the clear stream flowing by the two of them...

　　 This kind of scene seems a bit strange.

　　 If someone who knows Bai Shuiqiu, such as Chiyo or Hyuga Asuka, came to the back mountain at this time, if you see this scene, I am afraid that you will be shocked on the spot.

　　 Fortunately at this point in time, there is no one in the back of Tianmu Mountain...

　　 To be precise, except for Bai Shuiqiu, basically no one will come to this place.

In the past, Chiyo would occasionally go to the mountain creeks to wash clothes or something, but in recent years, because of his age, his legs and feet are not flexible, and walking on such rugged mountain roads has been a bit difficult, so if there is no major event, it is also Will not come back again.

　　 In this way, this place becomes a paradise for birds and beasts.

　　 All kinds of birds and small animals that are not well-named, appear in the bushes, and occasionally you can see a leopard or a wild boar or something.

　　 These things are actually very dangerous.

　　 Even if the aggression is not as aggressive as a bear and tiger, it is not a joke if it is accidentally pushed by a wild boar. In the past, Baishuiqiu didn't go up the mountain often, and part of it was for this reason.

　　 But now...

　　 There is nothing to be afraid of anymore.

　　Even, Bai Shuiqiu is still a little bit expectant. If a wild boar without eye opening suddenly comes at this time, he can just test the combat effectiveness of the puppet doll.

　　 In her sense, in the previous few experiments, she was far from touching the upper limit of the puppet doll's body strength. This clay body’s physical skills, if it can be used to the fullest extent, will probably be a much stronger weapon than herself, and it will be very good when used to deal with physical monsters or beasts. use.

　　 But when Bai Shuiqiu stopped to rest, the wild boar still didn't appear.

　　 On the contrary, a few wild foxes jumped out from behind the bushes not far away, looking intently at this side, their eyes glowing slightly green in the night.

　　 "Don't look, I didn't bring bread today."

　　 Bai Shui Qiuzheng and the puppet doll left and right, sitting on the rock by the stream with their backs against each other.

　　 When she saw the group of foxes, she subconsciously touched her pocket, only to realize that she was not in front of the shrine. She could only smile at the group of foxes and said lightly.

　　 Behind her, the puppet doll sat there in the same posture, with his back pressed against her, and caught the scenery on the other side of the stream.

　　 A few foxes looked around for a while, then tentatively walked over here.
