I’m a Witch In Dongying

Since acquiring these two abilities, she has been cultivating in Houshan by herself, and has not found a chance to use them in actual combat.

Now...

The peach tree demon, who traveled thousands of miles from Kyoto to Narita, was the target of training at the gate of the mountain. Naturally, she couldn't help but experiment with the results of her long-term practice.

From the results……

[Linglu Bow] The killing effect when dealing with monsters is still considerable.

After the two dozen arrows were shot in a row just now, the peach tree demon’s enchantment has been eliminated by nearly one-third, and the speed of sticking out branches from the surrounding area has slowed down significantly. This is the result of Bai Shuiqiu’s deliberate reduction of strength, otherwise if It is true that every arrow is shot at the maximum power of the opening and cracking stone, and its lethality will be at least twice as high as before.

In that case, the peach tree demon might be dying now.

Of course, even now, the state of the Peach Tree Demon is not very good.

But the problem is...

"Haven't you escaped yet?"

Bai Shuiqiu let go of his hands, allowing the Linglu bow in his hand to turn into particles and disappear into the air, and then slowly walked forward a few steps.

She had been consciously guarding against the peach tree demon running away just now.

So even when he was moving and retreating, he didn't allow himself to be too far away from this guy.

Moreover, while she was shooting arrows, she had gathered a large number of cumulonimbus clouds over this woods through chanting the rain curse, which could turn into a heavy rain to fall at any time, and then under the action of the water control technique, the peach Dryad trapped. Now that all preparations have been completed, even if the Peach Tree Monster really tries to escape, it is impossible to escape from this woods smoothly.

Can……

Your own preparation is one thing.

The peach tree demon didn't take the initiative to escape, and that was another matter.

"You didn't really come to me for those lightning bolts..."

"..."

silence.

After a while, a slightly obscure voice came from the back of the bush: "My goal...not those branches...but thank you for your kindness..."

"Ok?"

"I was in the valley that day...My spirit was supposed to be split by those lightning...If it weren't for your help...I should have been wiped out now..."

The voice of the Peach Tree Fairy was a little murky.

It sounds like it comes with an echo effect, reverberating around the entire forest, making it hard to tell which direction the sound is coming from. What's more, the content of the speech sounds stumbling, and the words and sentences are a little fuzzy.

Bai Shuiqiu's aftertaste for half a minute before he vaguely understood its meaning.

but……

"gratitude?"

Bai Shuiqiu couldn't help laughing a little when he heard this word.

When on the phone before, Asakura Rie once said something similar.

According to the girl’s speculation, Bai Shuiqiu used Minglei jade from the sky that day to split the "Seven Thunder" that was used to smash a group of ghost tribes such as Ibaraki Doko. It was originally intended to fall on the big peach tree. The so-called "thunder catastrophe" in the myth means, but because of Bai Shuiqiu's actions, the crooked hit helped him escape the catastrophe.

That's what I said, but Bai Shuiqiu didn't think she was helping.

I don’t even think that the peach tree demon should owe her favor for this. In a sense, she should be the one who owes favor to her. If it didn’t happen to have seven consecutive thunders, she might have been in the Thunder Valley. Killed by Ibaraki Toshi and other ghosts.

"That's not necessary. I didn't do that thing to help you."

"But my existence... is because of your intervention... I haven't disappeared... so... I hope to be your shikigami... to do my best..."

"……what?"

Bai Shuiqiu was really stunned.

Dare to love the peach tree demon rushing over all the way, just to repay his favor?

Even if it is a monster, this kind of thinking logic is really a bit special...

Isn't it just using words to confuse yourself?

"Did someone instruct you to say these things? You have only just cultivated into a demon body, so you know what Shikigami means?"

"In the valley where I live... occasionally some humans... bring their own shikigami in the past... in the past hundreds of years... I heard them say one after another..."

"And... only by becoming a shikigami... can you not be killed by other humans..."

"..."

Bai Shuiqiu raised his eyebrows.

She understood something like this.

Although this peach tree demon is just taking shape, it has been in the Thunder Valley for hundreds of years, and it must have had some hazy consciousness at that time. In addition, Luo Lei Valley is not far from Kyoto, and next to it is a large river and mountains dominated by ghosts. I must have seen or heard many stories about monsters being beheaded by humans.

Only the shikigami who has signed a contract with a human onmyoji or priest can be exempted from the fate of being wiped out by the demons who are ruining the human world.

——In fact, this is still the case until now. For example, Shiyuan Shiyuan, for example, is named "Shiki God" so that he can just stay beside Shirasuiqiu and avoid hunting down by the major shrines in Kyoto.

——At least those guys like Tuyumen and others, who are self-reliant and dare not act on her blatantly.

Therefore, this peach tree demon couldn't wait to find a master for himself when he first cultivated into a demon body.

And I happened to help it indirectly once, and there was a reason for "repaying gratitude", so I found Narita City all the way...

The whole logic still makes sense.

"I believe your words for the time being..."

Bai Shuiqiu groaned for a while, slowly raised his head, and looked around: "But can you get out of the hiding place first, it feels really uncomfortable to listen to you like this?"

"……good."

After a brief silence, the Peach Tree Monster responded.

Then, there was a moment of silence in the woods.

After a while, I heard a rustle of footsteps, which came from somewhere in the front right, and then a tall figure appeared there.

It is indeed a big peach tree.

After all, Bai Shuiqiu had seen it several times in Luolei Valley, and he was still somewhat impressed by the appearance of this tree.

But compared with that time, the branches of this peach tree are already a little more green, and the tree is full of pink and white flowers. But I don't know if it was because of the battle that consumed a lot of petals, or the road from Kyoto withered a lot, the number of these flowers already seemed a little sparse.

"It turns out that this appearance is your main body... Then what happened just now?"

Bai Shuiqiu recalled the human-like silhouette he had just seen.

She originally thought that this peach tree monster could transform into a human appearance at any time like the old monster, but now it seems that it should not be the case.

"This... it's just a little bit of a very simple change technique... It's more conducive to concealment in that way... in Kyoto... there are many people looking for me..."

The voice of the peach tree demon was still very erratic.

But compared with the effect of the built-in reverb stereo sound just now, it is much clearer, at least you don't need to think about it again to understand the meaning of it.

"Yes……"

Bai Shuiqiu glanced at the wind raccoon beside him.

With such a "simple" change technique, the shikigami by his side would not be able to do so. It seems that the starting lines for monsters and monsters are also different...

But to speak of it, although the peach tree monster has just been cultivated, it is much older than the wind raccoon. In addition, it was formed in the Thunder Valley, and has been baptized by tens of thousands of days and nights of thunder, lightning, and rain. With this special case now, it is normal to have a slightly higher qualification.

There was a short silence.

"Then...I can sign a contract with you...become your shikigami..."

The Peach Tree Monster seemed to be a little impatient: "I heard those humans say...Humans like powerful and obedient monsters... The ones I just showed...can satisfy your requirements..."

"Forehead……"

Facing this guy's question, Bai Shuiqiu hesitated a little.

If the peach tree demon's rhetoric was true, and she really wanted to be her shikigami, she wouldn't mind charging one extra.

Judging from the situation of the fight just now, the strength of this tree monster is still very good, and conservatively estimated, it is slightly stronger than the original ghost boy.

——Although the old monster said that the dryad's combat ability is generally not strong, this "not strong" is mostly judged by her own standards. Moreover, this peach tree demon was cultivated in the valley of falling thunder. It has been baptized by thunder and lightning many times, so it is more special than ordinary tree demon.

What's more, the body of this guy is still a peach tree.

In the future, if you can bear a few peaches every year to eat, it should be quite good. It stands to reason that the fruits of this kind of year-round tree monster, even if it cannot cure all diseases, at least prolonging life is definitely no problem...

But on the issue...

Sign a contract with a monster... How do you do it?

Mime private 594

The air fell into a brief silence.

Bai Shuiqiu hesitated whether to call Asakura Sisters or Suzuki Zhuxi. All of them must know the way to conclude the contract, but in that way, it would be equivalent to acknowledging that Qingluhuo was not her shikigami.

As for asking the old monster...

There is also no way to explain the existence of the wind raccoon.

In the hesitation, a few lines of text quietly emerged in the air in front of Bai Shuiqiu's sight.

[Limited time task: To subdue the peach tree demon that escaped from the Thunder Valley, completed]

[Obtain task reward: contract technique]

[Contract technique: The contract technique passed down from generation to generation at Yamanaka Shrine, through which a contract is signed with a demon through a specific technique, so that it can be accepted as a shikigami.

(Note: According to the strength of Shikigami, the contractor can pre-set one to three constraints, and then, based on the conditions set by the responding party, conduct equivalent exchanges of constraints. A maximum of five constraints can be set, and each content cannot be repeated. )】

With the emergence of these two lines, a beam of white light poured into Bai Shuiqiu’s eyebrows, as if a long ancient scroll flashed through her mind, and the words on it were directly instilled in a wonderful form. In her mind, she was instantly understood and mastered, as if she had already used a skill herself.

Like last month in the Thunder Valley, the mission rewards this time will be reissued after the incident subsides.

Bai Shuiqiu was startled when he saw the text description of the system.

"Yamaka Shrine..."

If you remember correctly, the Linglu bow seems to come from the "Yanzhong Shrine"?

Is this name a real shrine or is it just a general term for "shrines located on a mountain"? In theory, almost 90% of the products are built in the mountains...

This problem is clearly unknown.

Soon, Bai Shuiqiu focused his main attention on the [Contract Technique] itself.

"Constrain..."

Probably the meaning of the three chapters of the contract with Shijin?

As a shikigami, following the orders of the master is definitely the most basic, followed by not being able to hurt people for no reason, plus trying to protect the safety of those close to you if you can, even if the three constraints are full. The rest depends on whether the Peach Tree Monster will make any demands...

However, before signing the contract...

"Mind you let me explore your memory?"

Compared with the wind raccoon directly given by the system and the old monsters who have been in contact for a long time, Bai Shuiqiu does not know the basics of the peach tree monster, and is not sure if it is really as harmless as it appears on the surface, so I must check it carefully. of.

In this regard, the Peach Tree Demon agreed very simply.

After obtaining the latter's permission, Bai Shuiqiu took two steps forward, stood in front of the big peach tree, and then slowly stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the latter's trunk.

As the spiritual power surged in the body, a slightly vague picture passed from the consciousness of the Peach Tree Demon, and then emerged in her mind.

The tree age of this peach tree demon is more than four hundred years. Even if the time before the birth of wisdom and memory is removed, there are still more than one hundred years left. Naturally, it is impossible for Bai Shuiqiu to look through all these memories. Only through spiritual sense, I cut out the last few months and passed it quickly like a slide.

Valleys, woods, thunder...

Because the body is a plant, the memory of the Peach Tree Monster is drab monotonous.

It has been the last month that something else began to appear.

First on that thunderstorm night, the battle between Aoiruhuo and Ibaraki Dozi...

Then there were a large number of Kyoto practitioners exploring the valley...

Then there is the initial transformation of the peach tree monster, escape from the valley, and then leave all the way from Kyoto...

Bai Shuiqiu breathed a sigh of relief when he kept seeing Narita City appearing in the picture, and took his palm back from the Peach Tree Monster.
