I’m a Witch In Dongying

"Speaking..."

The white lilac tea tree that was enlightened by Master Xuanzang in the Dacien Temple was also a tree demon, right?

Since the white lilac that grows on that tree can be dried into tea for brewing and drinking, the peach blossom of the peach tree demon should have a similar magical effect, right? No, the fruit of the camellia tree is tea, and the fruit of the peach tree demon should be peaches. If the tree demon is caught and planted in the yard of the shrine, it will be used to bear peaches...

You can often eat free fresh fruit.

Dryad's peaches should be better than ordinary peaches, right?

This somewhat absurd idea flashed through Bai Shuiqiu's mind.

Then, Bai Shuiqiu turned around and was about to go back to the house when he heard a light footsteps, but Keiko Kandai came over from behind and glanced at her a little nervously:

"Akichan, did the call just now come from Sister Fujiwara... The task of the countermeasure team hasn't had any trouble recently, right?"

"no……"

Bai Shuiqiu was taken aback, and shook his head subconsciously.

It seems that Keiko Kashiro should have heard the last few words that she and Nanami Fujiwara said.

Although this girl is not a psychic media host, she has been in contact with Bai Shuiqiu and Qingluhuo during this period of time, and she understands the supernatural level even slightly more than Kanako, a psychic media host with a red root. It's just that Bai Shuiqiu didn't want to spread the affairs of the White Lotus Sect to Keiko Kandaji, so he instinctively gave a denial answer.

The girl will be suspicious.

"If there is something I can help, Qiujiang, just open your mouth. You don't have to take everything on yourself. Especially now that Teacher Shion is not in the city, if you encounter something here Formidable enemy, Qiujiang alone, it is too dangerous..."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

After a pause, Bai Shuiqiu added:

"In fact, the task of the countermeasure team during this period is mainly to deal with the White Lotus Sect. Their leader has been killed by me. Most of the remaining group are a group of mobs. It is not to be afraid. It is just the great white lotus sage who claims to be the reincarnation of the Buddha. It’s a little troublesome, but as long as he can be located, it’s easy to solve."

"So, the key question now is to find the Great Saint Bailian..."

Keiko Kandaji keenly caught the key points in Bai Shuiqiu's words and bit her lip: "Speaking of which, have you ever asked that guy Qiujiang about this matter?"

Mime private 577

"That guy?"

"It's Kenji Matsudaira."

Keiko Kamishiro said the name: "I remember hearing from you when I was in Kyoto before, that you used a special mental spell to control Matsudaira Kenji... At that time, I didn't know how to do it. , But now it seems that it should be teacher Shion’s ability, right?

If you remember correctly, Teacher Shiyuan once said that she has the ability to read and tamper with the memories of others...

Matsudaira Kenji is a high-level figure in the Wild Mountain Society, and the Wild Mountain Society has a close friendship with the White Lotus Sect. Others may not know the location of the Great White Lotus, but that guy, shouldn't he be ignorant? "

"Forehead……"

Bai Shuiqiu shook his head: "Actually, I once asked Kenji Matsudaira about this question, but I didn't get the result I wanted. The great white lotus saint is said to have been secretive all the time, and the dragon does not see the head and the tail, so he rarely participates in gatherings. Zhong showed up in person, and the specific matters of contacting the Ye Shanhui have always been done by the leader and elders, so..."

"Then, when was the last time Matsudaira Kenji and Great Sage Bairen met?"

"Maybe twenty years ago..."

Bai Shuiqiu still remembers that the first intersection between Bairenzong and Noyamakai was because the great sage Bailian showed his magical medical skills in front of the heads of the Watanabe and Matsudaira consortiums, and he was paralyzed by Matsudaira Kenji with a single hand. Uncle pressed the bed.

After that, the generations of family children like Kenji Matsudaira rarely saw the Great Sage Bailian himself, but through his followers, he traded some messy pills.

"That's it... then it's a bit difficult."

Keiko Jindai frowned slightly.

This girl really wants to help.

But due to the lack of intelligence, no matter how genius she was, she couldn't think of an effective way for a while.

However, Bai Shuiqiu was reminded.

——Matsuhira Kenji does not know the whereabouts of the Great Saint Bailian.

but……

The matter of the abandoned temple in Ibaraki Prefecture is a different story. According to Kobayashi Arima, this incident initially alarmed the police in Ibaraki Prefecture, and the wild mountain society's influence spread all over Kanto. There is no reason to be ignorant of such a sensational incident.

"If it doesn't work, find out the guy Matsudaira Kenji in two days and ask him in person..."

Bai Shuiqiu thought so.

Next, Bai Shuiqiu turned off the topic calmly. Although Keiko Kandaji knew she was deliberate, she didn't have any clues for a while, so she could only take Bai Lianzong's affairs to her heart, and followed Bai Shuiqiu's words in response. A few sentences.

The two went back to the living room side by side, sat down and played cards for a while.

After lunch, the torrential rain gradually stopped, and then the daily business was resumed.

On the afternoon of the second day after returning from Ibaraki Prefecture, Arima Kobayashi personally visited Tenmu Shrine and delivered the file mentioned earlier.

Bai Shuiqiu solemnly thanked him. After sending the latter to the foot of the mountain, he returned to the shrine, spread the dossier on the table in his bedroom, and carefully read it line by line.

The contents of the dossier are similar to what was said before.

It's just an extra time stamp, and the names of the police officers and countermeasure team members who participated in the investigation of the incident at that time.

It can be seen from these records that after the group of suspected Bairen religious followers disappeared, the follow-up investigators did not reappear similar incidents of Shenyin, and according to follow-up observations by the Ibaraki Prefecture Countermeasures Team, no ordinary people were passing by. When this abandoned temple was missing.

This is a bit intriguing.

"Could it be that the previous guess was wrong, this is not the entrance to the Kingdom of Yellow Springs?"

Or is it that the empty city that I had strayed into in the past was sealed by Yunv?

unknown.

but……

After the incident, the group of self-proclaimed "Jodo Shinshu disciples" who went to the abandoned temple that year met with people from the countermeasures team. The members who dealt with this incident later encountered another spiritual incident involving the White Lotus Sect. , And recognized the identity of one of them in this incident, and added the investigation results to this file.

At the end of this supplementary material, there is a note written by Arima Kobayashi, stating that this member was also a monk and was killed by the resentful spirit in the process of handling a supernatural incident four years ago.

From this point of view, it is hard to say whether there is an entrance to the gate of the Yellow Spring near that barren mountain, but it should be certain that it has something to do with the White Lotus Sect.

The rest of the answer is to try his luck at Kenji Matsudaira.

To be on the safe side, Bai Shuiqiu first called Jiufeng Ziyuan.

"...You are worried about the evil cultivation of the Jiuju faction. It is possible to find Matsudaira Kenji during this period of time and pry out the secrets about you and me from his memory?

Well, this kind of worry is unnecessary.

Because I have left a handful of weird sparks on him. As long as that guy tries to reveal information about you or me, whether it is subjective or forced, that spark will ignite immediately, in a breathing space. Burn him to ashes.

Even a practitioner of the Jiuju School cannot extinguish this flame, so as long as that guy is still alive, it means there is no problem. "

"Then, what if the evil cultivators of the Jiuju faction are very strong?"

"powerful?"

Jiufeng Shion smiled: "It will never be as strong as Abe Haruaki or Ashiya Road. If there are such people in the current Jiuju School, then they don't need to hide their heads and show their tails like a mouse crossing the street. Dare to live in the cracks that the realm of righteous Taoism can't notice."

After a pause, Jiufeng Ziyuan said again: "Of course, the Jiuju School is a veteran school that has lasted for hundreds of years, and it is indeed inextricably related to the Gate of Huangquan, so it is in their hands. , There may be some unthinkable means hidden, which still poses a certain threat to you, Xiao Qiu.

So if you meet them, don't take it lightly. "

"I will."

Bai Shuiqiu nodded in response.

When the business was finished, she asked about the current situation of Jiufeng Ziyuan by the way.

According to this woman, she is still staying in Kyoto, monitoring the work in that "friend"’s workshop every day, and spending the rest of the time strolling around in this thousand-year-old capital, remembering the time she lived in that year. old haunt.

"...By the way, Teacher Shion, have you ever heard of the "Peach Tree Demon"?"

"Oh, you said that."

Facing Bai Shuiqiu’s question, Jiufeng Ziyuan’s tone sounded understatement:

"As far as I know, several aristocratic families, including the Tuomimon family, are searching for its whereabouts.

After all, it’s rare for plants to cultivate monsters, and the fighting abilities of this type of monsters are generally not too strong, but they are very useful in terms of support, whether it is the branches cut from them, or the flowers, leaves, and fruits. They are all the best materials for making magical artifacts. As long as they don’t die, they can be continuously supplied...

In addition, a tree monster over four hundred years old will form a special inner core in the body, which contains a lot of vitality, which is an excellent nourishing thing. "

"..."

The corner of Bai Shuiqiu's mouth twitched slightly: "Does this tree demon have any purpose besides eating?"

"Well, the peach trees in Luo Lei Valley have been baptized by thunder and lightning all the year round. In theory, they cannot be cultivated into monsters. Since they can appear, they should have good qualifications.

However, no matter whether they are ancient or modern, the shikigami of vegetation is rare, because it is too troublesome to cultivate.

What? You're not thinking about it, are you?

This thing can't fly, and it's a problem whether it can escape from Kyoto, let alone Chiba Prefecture, which is hundreds of miles away.

If you are interested in this kind of monster, I can think of a way to find someone from elsewhere to help you bring it back, but that kind of monster is not a monster, it's just a spirit with a new spirit. "

"Forget it."

Bai Shuiqiu shook his head and ended the call.

In the evening, Bai Shuiqiu called Matsudaira Kenji again, then went to the back mountain to practice Linglu bow and breathing for a while, then returned to the shrine, took a shower, and rested in bed early.

I slept soundly this time.

The next day, Bai Shuiqiu got up early and after putting on his clothes neatly, he said hello to his grandmother, went all the way down the mountain, and took the tram towards Chiba City.

About an hour later.

Bai Shuiqiu got out of the car near the manor where he visited last time and found a secluded corner to stop. After waiting for a while on the side of the road, he saw a black Toyota Century slowly driving over, and Kenji Matsudaira opened the door and jumped. Get off the car, look around, and then walk quickly towards Bai Shuiqiu.

There was only one bodyguard in the car. After following him a few steps, he stopped at the scolding of the Songping family.

"Master Baishui."

Matsudaira Kenji walked up to him and bowed to Bai Shuiqiu, with a respectful look all over his face.

"Ok."

Bai Shuiqiu nodded lightly, first glanced in the direction of the bodyguard, then withdrew his gaze, took a close look at Matsudaira Kenji, and slowly said, "I'm here to find you this time. I have something to ask. Do you... do you know the barren mountains of Ibaraki Prefecture?"

"what?"

"This is the place."

Bai Shuiqiu handed over the photo in the phone.

Matsudaira Kenji looked at it for a while, his brows gradually wrung, and the whole figure seemed to be caught in some kind of reminiscence: "This matter you said, I seem to have a little impression...

About seven or eight years ago, the White Lotus Sect did encounter a very bizarre spiritual event, including a very senior elder, a total of forty-three monks, evaporated in a rainy night, and never again. Appeared...

At the time, I didn't know who was telling the police, so that the Ibaraki prefectural police discovered the incident first, and surrounded the entire barren mountain and searched it aside.

Later, the Great Saint Bailian personally found several important figures of the Wild Mountain Society, and they put pressure on the police to calm the situation down.

However, the countermeasure team of Ibaraki Prefecture watched this incident for a long time. Later, it seemed that the White Lotus Sect used some means to kill the guy who watched the most. "

"Oh?"

Bai Shuiqiu raised his eyebrows, a little energetic.

In fact, she just wanted to try her luck and dig out as much information about the White Lotus Sect as possible from Matsudaira Kenji's mouth.

But this was just the beginning, and it was a bit of a windfall.

It seems that this guy really knows something. For example, the member of the countermeasure team of Ibaraki Prefecture who was killed by the White Lotus Sect was probably the monk mentioned by Arima Kobayashi who was killed in a spiritual event four years ago. It's just that the White Lotus Sect may have done extraordinarily clean, so even the countermeasure team did not notice that there was something wrong with that incident.

Well, it is estimated that not every practitioner has the ability to use spiritual sense to detect the memories of others before death like oneself...

Thinking of this, Bai Shuiqiu said lightly, "What else? Keep talking."

Matsudaira Kenji didn't dare to violate her meaning, so he could only frown and think while saying:

"I just heard some rumors about this incident, and I haven't seen it in person.

And among the group of monks who disappeared on Yuye, there was only the elder. I was somewhat impressed.

He has been with the Great Sage Bailian since 20 years ago, and he seems to be older than the Great Sage. When the great sage Bailian performed'miracles' to cure my uncle's paralyzed leg disease in front of several elders in my family, he was also there. At that time, he was already in his sixties.

But eight years ago, I had contact with him again, and the appearance of that elder looked almost unchanged, and there was no sign of aging..."

Old age but no aging...

Is it because the body has spiritual power?
