I’m a Witch In Dongying

After a pause, Asakura Rie went on to say: "But since Sister Shirashui you chose to come over today, I can probably guess one or two of the reasons, right?"

"Yes."

At this time, Bai Shuiqiu also remembered his original intention, straightened his face, and briefly said what he had asked from Sun Qiyue: "...that's probably the case, because I heard the news from my friends, and at the same time I saw the rune left by the priest of your shrine in Mantis Town, so I was curious, so I came to explore the reality. I didn’t expect to meet Rie’s sister here...

Sister, you should be aware of this incident, right? Is there really something evil at work? "

While speaking, Bai Shuiqiu raised his head seriously and looked at Asakura Rie.

The latter listened to her quietly, and then said softly: "I did hear the people in my family talk about the'Mantis Mountain'.

This year’s mountain shrine construction and mikoshi parade were all taken care of by several priests of my uncle generations. I have stayed in the shrine during this period and have never gone out, so I did not intervene here. I am not very clear about the specifics. The reason, but listening to Xiao Qiu's description of yours, there should be something wrong with it. "

"Then... can Sister Rie figure out their origins?"

"..."

Asakura Rie pondered for a while, and said softly, "Please wait a moment."

Bai Shuiqiu said nothing.

The air fell into a brief silence.

The cool breeze blew past, drove the hair of the two girls in the pavilion to flutter for a few times, and then saw Rie Asakura looking down at the chess board in front of her. First, I moved the remaining chess pieces on the chessboard with sleeves to the outside reed mat, and then faced the already empty chessboard, stretched out a slender jade-like right hand to pick up a white chess piece, and left it in the air for a moment, as if Is considering where to go.

"what?"

A row of question marks popped up on Bai Shuiqiu's head, and he was a little confused about the girl's thoughts.

Obviously, I was discussing the things that monsters are causing trouble, so why did I suddenly start playing chess again? I am also a guest anyhow. I am entertaining myself here in front of the guests. It's a bit unpleasant to think about it...

It was when Bai Shuiqiu was thinking like this in his heart.

He heard a pop, but it was the white child that was gently dropped on the chessboard by the girl.

A subtle spiritual power surged quietly.

I saw a layer of grey air slowly emerging from the front, back, left and right of that chess piece, like a layer of tulle covering the patterned chessboard. Asakura Rie pondered for a while, then picked up a black stone again and dropped it. After playing three or four pieces repeatedly, the gray gas was already very obvious, and because of the increased concentration, it even began to show a faint appearance. Black, flowing slowly over the chessboard like mist.

Asakura Rie squinted slightly and moved her lips.

"There should be more than one evil gangster that smashed into Tanglang Mountain."

"?!"

Bai Shuiqiu suddenly opened his eyes.

She can see now that the way Rie Asakura dares to divination and ask hexagrams is accomplished by playing chess, which is a bit rare. And judging from the picture just now, these black and white chess pieces are probably also a special magic weapon, so they can be used for divination.

However, what Bai Shuiqiu cares more about right now is the result of Asakura Rie's divination...

"More than one means that the people who passed by Tanglang Mountain before are actually a group of evil things? Then, are they monsters or resentful spirits, how many in total?"

"can not tell."

Asakura Rie shook his head: "Judging from the results of the divination, one of the evil creatures is still hiding in Mantis Town. It may be waiting for an opportunity, and the remaining evil creatures..."

Asakura Rie said while holding another sunspot, as if looking for a place to fall.

but……

Before the girl could move, she saw the black air on the chessboard suddenly rioting without warning.

It was like a pot of hot water about to boil, with a breath of eagerness.

Facing this scene, Asakura Rie frowned slightly, opened her right hand, and stroked it against the chessboard, as if she wanted to calm down the black air.

However……

This approach not only failed to achieve the desired effect, but rapidly intensified the situation.

In the next moment, only a bang was heard, and the black energy expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if just for an instant, it had formed an image of an evil spirit with blue-faced fangs, and the gesture was about to show its sharp minions!

Bai Shuiqiu was shocked, and his whole body immediately aroused, and he even planned to return to draw a knife.

And Rie Asakura raised her right hand swiftly, with her fingers together like a knife, swiping heavily on the board!

Noisy——

This stroke is like pouring cold water into a blazing flame.

Accompanied by the sizzling sound, the black air seemed to explode from the middle, driving the three chess pieces that were originally dropped to fly from the chessboard, and when they were still in the air, they exploded one after another! Make a clear sound!

"what's the situation?!"

Bai Shuiqiu smoothly caught one of the chess pieces that flew towards him, only feeling that the palm of her hand was hot, as if she had touched a burning charcoal fire, and she subconsciously threw the chess piece out again.

"Sister Rie, this is..."

Mime private 495

the other side.

Asakura Rie also held a chess piece that was shot out from the chessboard, wrapped it with a layer of spiritual power, and placed it on the palm of her hand. After observing it carefully for a while, she breathed out slowly:

"It seems that the evil horror that collided with Tanglang Mountain this time is not an easy one. With just such a random survey, it is impossible to calculate its accurate position. If it were not for us to stop the divination in time, it might even be noticed by it. ."

"These things... so strong?"

Bai Shuiqiu was a little surprised.

Just now, she was actually taken aback. She thought that the other party was going to jump out of this chessboard and start a murder in the Yasaka Shrine.

"It's a bit unexpected, but it's not that tricky."

Asakura Rie smiled: "What I said was'perceived by it', but I felt that someone was spying on my whereabouts and increased my vigilance. Although I am not good at learning art, I have suffered from several famous teachers. Pointing, it’s not so easy for a fortune-telling object to get a glimpse of his true identity."

After a pause, the girl added:

"That's why I said that using the technique of divination to make a fortune will not pay for the gain, because this kind of spell itself is risky. Even in some ordinary calculations, various unexpected situations may occur. Even suffered the backlash of spells, which in turn lost life.

The divination just now was temporarily interrupted, and it is no longer suitable for a short time to do it again, but fortunately, we have already got some useful clues. "

for example……

At least one of these evil creatures was extremely powerful, so Rie Asakura had to temporarily interrupt the divination in order to avoid being discovered by it.

Those who can do this are at least better than the best among the middle-level monsters, and conservatively estimated to be a level higher than the likes of Inu Gods and Ghost Boys, and they are likely to be close to the [crazy bones] of the year.

However, Bai Shuiqiu’s understanding of [Mad Bone] is limited to the information he heard from the population such as Suzuki Zhuxi. I don’t know what level of this thing’s true strength is. Compared with Qingluhuo, it's a bit hard to conclude.

In addition, there is still a weaker existence among these guys, who is still hiding in the area of ​​Mantis Town, and seems to be waiting for the right time to come out to make trouble.

This also means that residents living in Mantis Town are likely to be in danger!

According to others, Bai Shuiqiu doesn’t know him anyway, so it can be regarded as indifferent, but the girl named Sun Qiyue has a relationship with her a few times, and she is also a "hometown" from China, so the impression of each other is fair. good. If the evil spirits spread to her when they came out to make trouble, it would not be what Bai Shuiqiu wanted to see.

At the moment, Bai Shuiqiu recounted Sun Qiyue's situation again.

After all, she still has the game, and it is impossible to keep an eye on the movement of Mantis Town all the time. Now she just went to search for the evil creature and it was unrealistic, so she had to ask Yasaka Shrine.

"Sun Qiyue...I see."

"In Tanglang Town, I will discuss with several uncles as soon as possible, arrange for close monitoring by manpower, and catch the hidden evil creature as soon as possible. If this can be achieved, then the true faces of the evil evil creatures that appeared with it. , It can be exposed."

Rie Asakura rolled up her sleeves and bowed her hand gently to Shiraito:

"Sister Baishui came here on purpose and told me about this. It really made me grateful. If it weren't for this divination, it would probably be a catastrophe due to the carelessness of several uncles."

"Sister Li Hui is serious."

Bai Shuiqiu also replied in a little panic, and after hesitating, he finally asked the doubts that had accumulated in his heart for a long time:

"In other words, isn't the pre-meeting of the Gion Matsuri, the welcoming ceremony of Yasaka Shrine, and the **** worshipped in your house by sister Rie is also the most murderous man of the Tianjin **** family. How can there be monsters who dare to be there? On this occasion..."

Asakura Rie didn't answer, but instead asked:

"Sister Baishui has ever seen the rain master **** enshrined in your shrine?"

"Maybe not……"

"That's it."

Asakura Rie nodded: "Since the end of the Heian period, those monsters and gods that were once extremely active in history have disappeared from the world, or were sealed by humans, or hidden in unknown places and fell asleep. , And Susanoo is one of the first to disappear.

As early as hundreds of years ago, no one in Yasaka Shrine was able to successfully communicate with him. As for the ceremonies of welcoming and sending gods each year, they are just conventions and have no actual effect.

In ancient times, out of the need to stabilize the hearts of the people, it was naturally impossible for us to disclose this truth to the outside world.

In modern times, with the enlightenment of the people’s wisdom, there are fewer and fewer people who believe in the existence of gods. Most people who pay offerings to shrines don’t care what the gods themselves are like. They are more just seeking a psychological support, so It doesn't make a difference to explain or explain. "

After a pause, Asakura Rie went on to say: "In addition to my Asakura clan, there are also many monsters who have already become known about this news. Maybe some evil spirits are taking this opportunity to test our attitude."

This kind of thing has a precedent in the history of Gion Festival.

But most of the monsters only dared to use the roller coaster and the mikoshi, and didn't have the guts to go to the Yasaka Shrine to make waves.

As a result, there are priests of the Asakura clan guarding the Yasaka Shrine all year round.

Secondly, although Susanoo has disappeared now, after all, he once sheltered here in ancient times. Even if he is gone, the shrine still retains the breath of his god, which will last for a long time under the incense worship for thousands of years.

For ordinary monsters, this breath from Susano is like a natural barrier that protects Yasaka Shrine. So even those monsters with ferocious temperaments dare not come here to go wild.

"The breath of the gods..."

Bai Shuiqiu instinctively thought of his shrine.

Speaking of it, Tenmu Shrine also has this kind of "natural barrier"-to be precise, it only appeared recently, and the time point of its appearance is exactly around the days when Yunyi appeared in front of Shirasuiqiu. Thinking back to the beginning of April, even Tachikawa Ran's not-so-powerful grieving spirits could flow unimpeded in the shrine, such as entering an uninhabited state, in sharp contrast with the current situation.

So it seems...

Perhaps the "breath of the rain master god" has always been kept in the hands of the rain girl? So it wasn't until the return of this shikigami that it gradually appeared?

Or……

Yunv, in fact, is the incarnation of the rain master left in the world, just appearing under the guise of the identity of the god?

"Is the strength of the'God's breath' maintained by incense? Is there such a situation that disappears without a trace for a period of time, and then reappears after a few years?"

Bai Shuiqiu asked.

Could it be that when she met such an opportunity, it was for this reason, and she simply poured out her doubts.

"it's not true."

Asakura Rie shook his head and said with a smile: "The existence of gods can be regarded as a higher-level life form in essence, and the aura they leave behind also possesses a higher level of'God 'Sex', the practitioners of shrines can often only use this breath to help their shrines resist the invasion of foreign evils, but they can't control it freely.

In the same way, the incense of the dunya can't enhance this breath, but can only form a layer similar to a protective film, which wraps the breath of the gods and delays the speed of its disappearance.

Therefore, the large shrine with strong incense can last longer, while the society of small gods disappears faster, but in any case, this breath will only fade with the passage of time until a certain day. disappear.

By that time, it meant that the last trace of the bond between the gods and the world was completely cut off, and it has since become a historical past.

As for the shrines that have lost the protection of their gods, their heritage will often be gradually cut off in the years that follow, and everyone will eventually be wiped out.

Of course, some shrines have not been blessed by gods from the beginning. They are just empty shells, and naturally there is no such problem.

As for reappearing after disappearing for several years...

That can only prove that some changes have taken place in that god's situation, perhaps he has awakened from his deep sleep, or maybe... is replaced by other existences.

Regardless of the possibility, it is an extremely rare situation, and there has been almost no precedent in history. "

"..."

In that case, my shrine is still lucky?

However, judging from the current situation, even if the "Rain Master God" really wakes up, the state may not be so good.

It might even be a flashback...

According to Bai Shuiqiu’s imagination, an ancient and powerful **** like Yushishen, even if his strength is not as strong as Susano, should be able to break his wrist with a big monster of the level of the big tengu, how can he not be hacked? This kind of stuff like mud hurts both sides. If it is not "wake up from a deep sleep," but "wounded severely unhealed", perhaps it can be explained.

"It seems that we still have to find a way to make the incense of our shrine a little more vigorous..."

In that case, even if there is something wrong with the Rain Master himself, he can still rely on the effect of incense to allow him to support him for a period of time.

Bai Shuiqiu thought secretly.

But these words, there is no need to talk to Asakura Rie.

After all, the relationship between the two is just friends who have just met, and Bai Shuiqiu still knows about each other's roots and deep truths.
