In the spacious and bright study room, Bai Shuiqiu and Asakura Rie stood opposite each other across two rows of bookshelves, and the light of incandescent lamps poured down from the top of their heads, creating two long shadows.

As early as two days ago, Bai Shuiqiu was already drawing the talisman, and considered the information he had on hand.

Although he did not get the complete truth, he has probably figured out the context of the matter. And now, after combining with the piece of information given by Asakura Rie just now, and then digesting and assimilating all the information contained in it, many doubts that had never been figured out before were all solved.

only……

The things contained in this truth are things that Bai Shuiqiu didn't want to see.

especially……

In Rie Asakura’s explanation, a possibility faintly revealed——

Perhaps the Lantern Mountain incident seventy years ago was not accidental!

The establishment of the White Lotus Sect may indeed have occurred after the earthquake, but the Jiuju School... is an ancient school that has continued to this day hundreds of years ago. It is theoretically possible to know the secrets of the Yellow Springs Gate. !

If they opened the door of Lantern Mountain and released the black mud, it was their people...

The death of Shirasui Sana has another secret.

Ever since he first learned of the cause of his aunt’s death, Bai Shuiqiu always felt that this aunt seemed a little too anxious, and she didn’t even want to wait for a while, until the reinforcements from Tokyo Asakura arrived, and they would go up Lantern Mountain together. Investigate the situation. And if the factors of the Jiuju faction are taken into consideration...

Then this doubt can make sense.

The sound of broken footsteps sounded.

Asakura Rie walked back slowly along the bookshelf, stood in front of Bai Shuiqiu again, and said softly:

"These information about the gate of Huangquanzhi was originally top secret of Shintoism. Even in the spiritual practice world of Kyoto, only a very small number of families, including Yasaka Shrine and the Tomimon family, have the qualifications to understand and contact. The truth should not be disclosed casually.

Can……

Senior Shirasui Sana should have used his own abilities to figure out part of the truth, but unfortunately before he had time to pass it down, he died early.

And now, Lantern Mountain has reappeared signs of activity due to the activities of the White Lotus Sect, which is a very dangerous omen.

As the younger generation of Senior Sana, I think you are qualified to know these truths and make your own judgments and choices based on this.

Whether you want to avoid the edge or face the difficulties, it is a reasonable choice, and no one is qualified to criticize you too much.

After all, this responsibility shouldn't have been borne by the Baishui family. "

"I know."

"But anyway, thank Sister Rie for telling me this."

Bai Shuiqiu let out a long sigh, and smiled reluctantly: "To be honest, I don't know much about the life of Grandma Sana, and most of the information I have comes from hearsay, maybe not as much as you know. If not. Sister Rie specifically mentioned today that I might always be kept in the dark."

"..."

Asakura Rie's lips moved, but did not make a sound immediately. Instead, after a moment of silence, she took a step forward, raised her right hand, and hugged Bai Shuiqiu's shoulder.

"Eh?"

Bai Shuiqiu was caught off guard by the girl's actions, subconsciously following the instinctive reaction of the body, he wanted to make a defensive action.

But the latter didn't use any spiritual power, and when he held it, there was no threat at all, so Bai Shuiqiu released the alertness he had just mentioned.

It's just a simple hug.

The intensity is very gentle.

After two or three breaths, Asakura Rie slowly released her arm and stood back again, her face returning to its usual calmness:

"Mami visited Kyoto once before going to Chiba Prefecture this time and didn't tell you the truth. In fact, my grandfather and Grandpa Naoo who is far away in Tokyo discussed the results.

After all, the old Sana died because of the secret of Lantern Mountain, and even earlier...

Today’s Baishui’s family is already dying, and only you and Qiandai mother-in-law are left. If something happens to you, I’m afraid..."

The rest is obvious.

In any case, it is impossible for her cheap parents to come back and inherit the shrine again. Even if the latter has given birth to other children, they should grow up on the path arranged by Shirasui and his wife, and find a decent job to live through. lifetime. If something happens to Shirasuiqiu, then the inheritance of Tenmou Shrine may really be unsustainable...

but……

"It's also impossible, isn't it?"

In fact, Bai Shuiqiu's initial plan was to finish his studies quietly and get a decent university, and then, depending on his grades, decide whether to go out to work or inherit the shrine at home and become a witch who eats and waits to die.

However, regardless of her own wishes, she started from encountering the first evil spirit...No, to be precise, from the first time she saw a ghost when she was a child, she could no longer start from the world of the spiritual level. Zhong Anran got out.

Since avoidance is useless, then only take the initiative to attack.

In this regard, Bai Shuiqiu had realized early, so he was very open to it at this time.

Besides...

She is indeed inferior to Shirasui Sana in terms of magic skills.

But besides the rain girl who had followed Sana to Lantern Mountain to suppress the black mud, there were also blue heron fire, wind raccoon, Keiko... and systems.

In addition, in this era, network communications and transportation are extremely advanced. It takes only one day to travel from Kansai to Kanto. It is much easier to call for reinforcements than it was a century ago.

One goes and the other goes, the current Bai Shuiqiu, the power that can be mobilized may not be weaker than the former Sana.

And, think about it carefully, she still has a daily blessing task in progress. When she returns to Narita this time, she should be able to complete it soon. If she can obtain another magical weapon that is no less than [Linglu Bow] , In the future when dealing with the Jiuju faction and the black mud, it can also add a little more confidence.

Mime private 564

Thoughts turn.

Bai Shuiqiu had gradually recovered from the initial consternation, and slowly digested the pile of information given by Asakura Rie. After the hesitation in his eyes faded, he turned bright and firm.

Asakura Rie looked at Bai Shuiqiu quietly for a while, then sighed softly:

"Now that you have made a decision, then I will do my best to help you.

If the opponent is just the White Lotus Sect, it is actually not difficult to deal with. As long as the opponent's mountain gate is determined, and the countermeasure teams of the Kanto counties cooperate sincerely, they can be solved smoothly without paying too much casualties.

However, the Nine Chrysanthemum faction is an evil sect that has been passed down from the Kamakura period to the present, and some of the spells they are good at have the shadow of Ashiya Doman back then. It is likely that Ashiya Doman’s disciples or descendants created it.

Since this faction committed public outrage many years ago and was wiped out by the mainstream magic and magic world, it has been going mysteriously, and has never been found where their lair is.

Our Yasaka God Society is doing everything we can to continue to investigate this information.

But in Chiba County, after all, Sister Xiaoqiu is your home game, so I will bother you to contribute to it.

My sister Mami has studied magic skills since she was a child, and she has achieved a small amount of accomplishment. Although she is not inferior to a great demon at the level of Qingluhuo, she is not inferior to anyone among the practitioners of this world. If you need her in any place after returning to Chiba, please feel free to give instructions.

As my sister, I will also tell her the conversation today. "

"I will."

Bai Shuiqiu nodded solemnly.

The Lantern Mountain incident happened less than a hundred miles away from Narita City. It can be said that it was at my doorstep, and it was inextricably linked to Shirami Sana's death. Regardless of whether it is public or private, she must face and resolve all obstacles encountered in the process, and should find ways to remove them.

"After I go back this time, I will discuss with Mami and others..."

It's also time to get rid of the malignant tumor of the White Lotus Sect.

Bai Shuiqiu made up his mind.

Until this time, this topic about the "Gate of Yellow Springs" has come to an end.

The two stood opposite each other. After a while, they heard Asakura Rie smile:

"Okay, it's getting late. I've said a lot just now. I don't know if Grandpa and Keiko have finished playing chess. The fireworks display will start soon. This is the annual scene in Kyoto, Xiaoqiu. Sister should take this opportunity to appreciate it."

"Really, then I was looking forward to it."

Bai Shuiqiu also smiled, and responded in a pretentiously relaxed tone.

Next, the two walked out of the study one after the other, and after Asakura Rie closed the door, they both walked through the corridor and walked in the same direction as when they were going.

When he returned to the meeting room, the game between Keiko Kashiro and Hidekazu Asakura was still going on.

only……

"Well, how come there are so few chess pieces on the board, have you already started the second game?"

Bai Shuiqiu walked to Keiko Kandaji, glanced down, and asked a little strangely.

She and Rie Asakura stayed in the study for a long time. It is estimated that they will be more than an hour. According to the normal game of Go, it is almost just right.

"Forehead……"

After hearing this, the two in Dui Yizhong were silent for a while before hearing Asakura Hidekazu coughing a few times, he said:

"Ahem, it's the third set now..."

"Eh?"

Bai Shuiqiu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to ask who had won, but he stopped abruptly before he could say anything.

From her point of view, Keiko Kamishiro looks a little more relaxed, while Hidekazu Asakura is sweating a little on his forehead. Even when he responded just now, he did not take his eyes off the board. The wrinkled old face, frowning, seemed to be thinking hard about the next move.

"Ok……"

Bai Shuiqiu turned to look at Asakura Rie who followed him in.

At this time, the girl had already sat down on the tatami, glanced at the chessboard indifferently, and then smiled slightly: "It seems that Sister Keiko's victory is better."

"?"

Noting the bewildered look in Shiraito's eyes, Rie Asakura softly explained a few words.

However, the words "rush", "break", "fly", and "pounce" from the girl's mouth... made Bai Shuiqiu a little bit big.

For her, every word of these words, she...

Uh, I don’t seem to be able to read even the words, let alone the bunch of technical terms that are formed together. After hearing a few words, Bai Shuiqiu feels like he’s taking a math class, and he feels like he’s listening to the heavenly scriptures. .

Fortunately, after analyzing the current chess game, Asakura Rie explained a few simple words in a bit shallower terms.

It probably means that Keiko Kashiro is currently launching an offensive attack, while Hidekazu Asakura is passively defending. From the current situation, Keiko has a stronger momentum and therefore has a greater chance of winning. But because the game is not over, it is not absolute, it can only be said that the probability is higher.

"Keiko's chess skills..."

It's so amazing?

Bai Shuiqiu was a little surprised.

She also heard from these people just now that Hidekazu Asakura can play against the professional 7-dan players of the Dongying Chess Academy. Even if the opponent is intentionally letting him, this old man is definitely not a stinky chess basket with sparse chess skills. Keiko can have the upper hand in the game with him, which shows that at least he also has the level of professional rank.

In the previous contact, she had never seen Keiko show this kind of skill. Sure enough, people with high IQ are better than ordinary people in everything they learn?

but……

How strong is Asakura Rie who can still defeat Asakura Hidekazu even with the seven sons?

"By the way, what rank are you sister Rie?"

Thinking of this, Bai Shuiqiu asked a little curiously.

It seems that the highest rank in Go is the 9th rank, right? However, even the nine dans are no match for the cutting-edge artificial intelligence. It can only be said that the computing power of the human brain has its limits after all...

Facing Bai Shuiqiu's question, Asakura Rie just smiled, not commenting.

Gradually, the two stopped talking, but calmed down and entered a state of watching the game without talking. They each sat on the side of the tatami, watching the game of Keiko Kandaro and Hidekazu Asakura from time to time dropping the chess pieces, driving them. The situation on the entire chessboard is changing rapidly.

When it was more than a hundred steps down, Keiko Kandaji made a small mistake when he landed. The struggling Asakura Hidekazu seized the opportunity and quickly launched a counterattack.

After dozens of steps in the tug-of-war, Keiko finally fell into a slump, and many chess pieces were eaten one after another.

It looked like more than ten minutes passed.

This game of chess is finally over.

Until this time, Hidekazu Asakura wiped the sideburns with his sleeves. The whole figure seemed to be relieved with a sigh of relief. Then, taking into account the image of his predecessors, he quickly became serious:

"Unexpectedly, Keiko had such a superb chess skill at a young age. It was no accident that he was able to win the first two rounds. If you didn't make a mistake in this round, I am afraid it would be difficult for me to win."

"No, Grandpa Xiuhe is too modest. It's just that in the first two games, you still didn't understand my chess strategy. When you get used to it, I won't be your opponent."

"No, no, it's just a fluke."

After a few humility, the old and the young withdrew the chessboard in unison.

According to the rule of two wins in three games, Keiko must have won, but Hidekazu Asakura finally pulled it back and finally maintained some dignity.

At this time, the old **** master noticed the ancient books placed on the tatami by Bai Shuiqiu, and he was slightly startled:

"I almost forgot. This time I met Xiaoqiu Keiko for the first time, but I didn't prepare a gift for you. It's really my grandfather's dereliction of duty...
