I’m a Witch In Dongying

"..."

Bai Shuiqiu squinted his eyes quietly, a little suspecting that this woman was deliberately making excuses to step into his bedroom.

However, in broad daylight, Keiko Kandaro was also present, and she would not do anything out of the ordinary when she wanted to come to Jiufeng Shiyuan. If something like that really happened, Yumai would not stand idly by... Thinking of this, she whispered to Keiko Kamidai.

The latter pushed open the door on the left and got out of the car by himself.

Then Bai Shuiqiu and Jiufeng Ziyuan followed in turn.

When I was in the car, Bai Shuiqiu and Jiufeng Shion were talking most of the time, while Keiko Kandaji had been listening silently.

After all, this girl is just an ordinary person.

Although due to Bai Shuiqiu's relationship, he has experienced more supernatural events than the newcomers of the countermeasure team, but because he is not a spiritual medium, and his physical fitness is weak, it is inconvenient to get involved in many situations. At this time, he just listened silently, and basically didn't say anything to intervene in the conversation between the two.

After the three people got out of the car, Bai Shuiqiu walked in the forefront to lead the way, and walked along the road to the shrine together.

Since last month's IH competition and last month's Rain God Festival ended, Baishuiqiu has become a little famous in Chiba Prefecture.

Most of the new customers in Tianmu Shrine came to her.

So as soon as Bai Shuiqiu entered the yard, people greeted her one after another.

The arrival of the old monsters naturally attracted the attention of some guests.

Compared with Bai Shuiqiu, Hyuga Asuka and others, this woman is obviously older, and her appearance and temperament are more mature. If the attitude towards Bai Shuiqiu and the others is appreciation, then the body and temperament of the old monster is more in line with the tastes of most adult men when choosing a mate.

Even when they walked into the courtyard, two white-collar men took advantage of the opportunity to greet Bai Shuiqiu, and got together to chat with the old monster, as if they wanted to develop friendship with her.

In response, Jiufeng Ziyuan smiled, but there was a breath of danger in the depths of his eyes.

"that……"

When the two white-collar men walked away, Bai Shuiqiu quietly swallowed, and reminded Jiufeng Ziyuan with a bit of worry: "They don't actually have any malice, they just have a little love for beauty, don't you..."

After all, the other party is a guest of his own shrine.

She was a little worried that Shiramine would burn them on fire like the previous Wild Mountain Club and Hojo's family.

Facing this reminder, Jiufeng Ziyuan smiled slightly:

"Well, I'm not such a compelling person, at most I just tease them, it won't kill anyone."

After a pause, the woman turned her head to look at Bai Shuiqiu again, and looked her up and down: "But the saying that the heart of beauty is true is true, especially for a beautiful girl like you, Xiaoqiu, that makes people more attractive. Love it."

"..."

The topic brought to him, Bai Shuiqiu could only roll his eyes, and said nothing.

Fortunately, it is only tens of meters from the courtyard to the inner room.

While they were talking, the three people had already arrived at the entrance through the inner room. After taking off their shoes in the entrance, they stepped on the clean wooden floor and walked inside.

Chiyo is also at the shrine now.

The old man and Shiufeng Shion had met several times before, and knew the identity of this woman. She was an adviser to the Kyudo Club of Narita High School. She also gave Bai Shuiqiu "a lot of help" during the club training. In the eyes of Chiyo, who doesn't know the truth, this instructor contributed a lot to her granddaughter's ability to win the national championship in the IH competition.

Therefore, Chiyo is very enthusiastic about the attitude of Washimine Shion.

Jiufeng Ziyuan also showed almost perfect acting skills, saying that the purpose of her trip was to communicate with Bai Shuiqiu in depth and help her improve her archery skills so as to participate in higher-level competitions.

All these words made Bai Shuiqiu secretly complain.

To be honest, the last time Jiufeng Shion taught her the practice of archery was several months ago.

After that, I was completely groping for myself...

If you just look at Jiufeng Ziyuan's current performance and don't know, I'm afraid she would have thought how dedicated her instructor is.

After pouring a few cups of tea in the living room and exchanging each other for a while, Chiyo found an excuse to get up first and let Bai Shuiqiu entertain the "visitor" Jiufeng Shion temporarily on his behalf.

At this time, only Bai Shuiqiu, Keiko Kandaji and the old monster were left in the room.

The three looked at each other, the polite smiles on their faces converged, knowing that they were about to start talking about business.

"Then... I'll be straight to the point."

Jiufeng Ziyuan turned his head and looked at Bai Shuiqiu: "Xiao Qiu, don't you mind if I take out that magical artifact here? It may be a bit big, you'd better prepare mentally in advance."

"OK……"

Bai Shuiqiu swallowed slightly.

When she was in the car before, she had already heard Jiufeng Shiyuan talk about the magical artifact, "large compass". Since it is a compass, the shape should be basically fixed. To put it bluntly, it is a circle with graduations. Disc, to speak big...

It can't be like a big round table in a restaurant, it's several meters wide, right?

If it were really that big, it would be really a huge thing. I am afraid that the Hojo and Toyo imperial families back then were also very inconvenient to use, so the size should still be limited...

Bai Shuiqiu thought so.

After obtaining her approval, Jiufeng Shiyuan opened his right arm.

In the midst of the demon power, a cyan bird's wings were slowly unfolding in the void beside the woman, emitting a thin layer of faint light.

Then, following the movements of Jiufeng Ziyuan, a square compass was shaken out from the feathers by her, one hand was gently lifted and moved down a few inches, and then slowly placed on the coffee table in the middle of the living room. . The edge of the compass rubbed against the transparent glass of the coffee table, making a slight rubbing sound.

This thing is really big.

The same is a compass. The piece in Suzuki Zhuxi's hand is only slightly larger than the palm of his hand, so he can run around in his hand at any time.

At this moment, the piece that appeared in front of Bai Shuiqiu's eyes was sixty or seventy centimeters in diameter. The texture looked like brass, and the pointer looked like gold. Starting from the pointer with a little finger in the middle, it turned out to be a circle. The dents of the circle spread out, and each dent inside and outside corresponds to dozens of movable floating boards with densely engraved Chinese characters.

——Heaven stem, earth branch, yin and yang, five elements, six lines, gossip...

From A, B, B, Ding, to Zichou Yinmao, to Qiankun Kanli...

There are also some obscure terms, most of which are written in traditional Chinese.

As a person who has lived in China, Bai Shuiqiu has most of the Chinese characters...Uh, he can only know half of it.

Because the Chinese characters she is familiar with are all simplified characters used in modern times, while traditional characters are much more complicated. Can only guess and get confused. As for the technical terms composed of these traditional characters, Bai Shuiqiu couldn't understand it at all.

in addition……

Another point worth mentioning is that the weight of this compass is not light.

Although Jiufeng Shion looked relaxed when he took it out of the feathers, it could be gently lifted with one hand, as if he was holding a thin foam board, but Bai Shuiqiu tried to touch it with his hands. After a while, she squeezed the edge of the compass and lifted it up, only to realize that the weight of this thing far exceeded her imagination.

Weighing only one corner of it cannot accurately estimate the weight.

But even according to the most conservative estimate, this thing is more than 30 kilograms, and may be heavier.

If he was replaced by Keiko Kamishiro, who was relatively weak, he might not be able to hug him.

After taking out the compass, Jiufeng Shiyuan did not speak immediately, but paused for a while, as if waiting for something.

Mime private 703

The old monster's act of invigorating his demon power just now has obviously attracted some people's attention.

After a while, there was a slightly damp water vapor blowing from the corridor outside the living room, and then a few people in the living room-except for Keiko's gaze, saw a light green figure emerging in the living room. .

It's Rain Girl.

"Sister Green, you are here."

Bai Shuiqiu first felt the approach of the rain girl's breath, turned his head to look over, and smiled slightly.

Keiko Kandai followed Bai Shuiqiu's gaze and blinked a little dazedly, not knowing who she was saying hello.

Rain Girl belongs to the monster of the spirit system after all.

Unlike Jiufeng Ziyuan, which is physically different, she can't be seen by people without psychic media even if she is close at hand if she doesn't take the initiative to show up. Even the psychic media pledgers with weaker vision, such as Kanako, can't see the real appearance of Yu Mai, at most they can only feel that there is a transparent figure standing there.

Hearing Bai Shuiqiu's voice, Yunv nodded slightly, and then cast her gaze on the coffee table. After staying on the compass for a few seconds, she looked at Jiufeng Ziyuan again.

"Here, the magical artifact I mentioned for detection is it."

Jiufeng Ziyuan glanced at Yunv from the corner of his eye, and then spoke again.

The woman's intentional pause just now seemed to be waiting for the rain girl to come over.

"Ok……"

Bai Shuiqiu nodded, and glanced at the pile of heavenly stems and earth branches: "Do you understand these things, Teacher Ziyuan?"

"can not read."

"what?"

Bai Shuiqiu looked suspiciously at Jiufeng Ziyuan.

Naturally, she couldn't believe such words.

But Jiufeng Shion's expression was serious: "Well, don't look at me that way, I'm serious.

Although my hobbies are quite wide and I have studied a lot, I haven't studied everything. The things like the marks on this compass, but they contain the essence of the Chinese Taoism inheritance for thousands of years, and are by no means as simple as a single magic weapon, but contain a whole set of Taoism. These things are far more unpredictable than the vast majority of magic techniques of Shinto and Yin-Yang Dao.

Now the Tang Dynasty has been destroyed for more than a thousand years, and the celestial master who created the original compass is already dead and soulless, and there is no news. Even in the current China, there are probably no more than two hands who can understand its principles.

So, it’s not surprising if you don’t understand, is it? "

"Forehead……"

But soon, the old monster smiled again:

"But Xiao Qiu, don't worry.

If the goal is only to use its detection function, there is no need to understand all the principles, just know the most basic usage and calculation methods. I still know a little bit about this. "

While speaking, Jiufeng Ziyuan stretched out his hands and fiddled with the compass a few times.

Then, I saw the needle shaped like a small spoon on the plate turning slightly.

Even with all the floating boards supported by the heavens and earth, they moved up and down, and the words "Zichou Yinmao" and "Dian Kan Gen Zhen" jumped up and down, and the changes were dazzling.

At the beginning, Bai Shuiqiu was still interested in observing the sequence of activities of these floating boards, but soon gave up.

If there are any laws in this thing, I am afraid it is also a more complicated law than a mathematical formula. It is by no means that she can easily understand it with just a few glances from the side...

During the floating board activity, Jiufeng Shion kept watching. After three or four minutes passed, the movement on the compass gradually subsided, the woman groaned and began to say in a calm tone:

"Um...According to the situation detected so far, there are four directions of evil spirits in Narita City.

One is located at 8 o'clock in the southwest of Lantern Mountain, and the distance is about fifteen miles... This place should be the shaded area that Xiaoqiu you encountered tonight, because it is close to Tianmu Mountain and it is a time lag. Before long, the demon energy has not completely dissipated, so even a trace can still be detected.

The other is in the northwest, and the intensity is slightly higher than the previous one, but the height is also limited. It may be the ‘yin area’ that has just formed, or it may not be. It needs specific investigation to determine.

There are two other places where the Yin Qi is too weak. It should be just a few resentful spirits wandering in the area of ​​Narita City, so there is no need to mention it..."

"Eh?"

Bai Shuiqiu frowned: "This compass... can even the intensity of the demon energy be detected?"

"Yes."

Jiufeng Ziyuan nodded gently, and explained patiently: "Because the detection target of this magical item is not just for the'yin realm', but for the yin, demon, and fierce resentment, as long as these auras are strong. When it reaches a certain level and is within the effective range, it will be detected by it and displayed by the pointer and floating board.

In ancient times, this kind of magic weapon was mainly used to detect monsters.

Especially monsters that move in groups like the ghost race, once they act, they will react quite obviously on the compass.

But now, because most monsters have disappeared, and most ordinary evil spirits do not have enough Yin Qi to be detected by the compass, it is difficult to gather such a strong Yin Qi in ordinary places. As long as there is a reaction on the compass at this time, then there is more than 70% chance that it will be a place related to the ‘yin domain’.

Especially during this period of time.

Even if they are not now, they may be affected by the breath of the'door' leaked from Lantern Mountain recently, and then move closer to the'yin realm', so they are definitely right to be dealt with as a target. "

"Understood……"

Bai Shuiqiu looked down at the densely packed Chinese characters on the dial, and blinked: "These floating boards...how do you look at them?"

no way.

If it's just a super-math problem, then you will learn it if you don't learn it, but this thing is related to her task after all, and the difficulty is slightly more difficult, and it is still necessary to have a basic understanding.

"Well... it's not very complicated anymore."

Jiufeng Shiyuan placed his index finger on the pointer of the compass, and whispered: "To put it bluntly, it is to use the pointer to hover several times to determine the position of the demon energy, and then through the inner layer of the innate gossip. The board is quantified to calculate a more accurate position;

Then, according to the Houtian Eight Diagrams, the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, and the floating boards of the Twenty-Four Mountains, the distance and strength of the evil spirits were calculated...Finally, the floating boards of the twenty-eight stars were used to deduce the general nature and composition of the evil spirits.

Even if you have enough understanding of Yi Shu, you can figure out the types and appearances of monsters, but I can’t do that. If anyone in the Dongying practice world can do this, it’s probably too. Only the little girl from Asakura's family is possible...

In short, the process may require a little bit of mathematical formulas, a few matrix conversion and linear programming problems, and a little bit of common sense in Yishu.
