Chapter 47 One Heart, One Feather

Xiaotong's sleep has always been shallow, when she heard a sound like metal knocking from the front of the corridor, she woke up instantly.

Fighting against the drowsiness, she slowly supported her body and sat up from the bed, while listening carefully to the voices from outside the room.

The sound came from far to near, like a string of copper bells shaking in the wind.

It's like the sound made by the ring bell on the pewter stick held by the monk.

In Japan, Shinto, Buddhism and Taoism are roughly regarded as one family, and monks and witches can also be regarded as half of the same industry.As a former shrine maiden, she actually visited many temples in the past for some reason, and even appeared on a TV show with some bozu (monk in Japanese).Therefore, Xiaotong felt very familiar when he heard this voice.

As the old saying goes, monks walk with tin.The tin stick, also known as the wisdom stick and the moral stick, is one of the most famous magic tools in Zen.

One end of the tin rod is in the shape of a hollow tower, with several large metal ring bells on it, and several small ring bells are chained to the big ring bell, which can make a crisp impact sound when shaken.It is said that the sound of vibrating tin can help monks see their nature, and in the hands of eminent monks, it can even deter ghosts and gods.

She was still in a state of half-dream and half-awake, wondering, this is the girls' dormitory of the girls' school, how could she hear the sound of Fangzhu's vibrating tin?

At this time, the voice had stopped in front of his dormitory room door.

Xiaotong put on a coat, and exchanged glances with Mochizuki Mian who was floating beside her, also showing vigilance.

Mochiuemian, who understood it, immediately floated towards the wall, she wanted to go directly through the wall to see what was outside.

However, just as Sleep was accustomed to going through the wall, she encountered an unexpected obstacle.She slammed into the wall heavily, and even the wall gave birth to a rebounding force that ejected her back.

At this moment, Mian even recalled the long-lost pain.

Mian turned over in the air and straightened up again. She reached out to touch the wall, and was surprised to find that the wall turned into a tangible entity!

Mochizuki Mian immediately recalled her previous discovery that in the girls' dormitory, there are several rooms that cannot be penetrated like this!

It's just that the situation is reversed now, it's not that I can't enter a certain room, but that I can't get out of this room!

"Little pupil... I can't wear it..."

Xiaotong nodded to indicate that she understood, she also thought of the same thing as Mian, the reason why Mian couldn't enter those rooms before was that some kind of spell was pasted on the front of those dormitory doors.And now, in Xiaotong's eyes, she also saw something similar on the wall.

Pale golden Sanskrit characters are looming on the wall.

Xiaotong has a clear understanding in his heart, this is something similar to an enchantment.Enchantment, the technique of separating the inside and the outside, like the torii gate of a shrine is essentially a kind of enchantment, and the torii gate is the domain of the gods, and all disasters and evil spirits are forbidden to enter.

Xiao Tong is almost certain that the person standing in front of her dormitory room is a mage, and, unlike the "mages" she has seen on TV shows boasting that she can subdue demons, she is now The guy beyond the wall... is, without a doubt, a "real guy."

Xiaotong even felt a little baffled, how could a monk pass by the girls' dormitory of the fully enclosed girls' school for no reason?

Subconsciously, Xiao Tong looked at Wang Yue Mian with worried eyes, but Mian who hadn't noticed it just gave her a confused expression.

There was a knock on the door, and a voice that was heard just yesterday sounded outside the door.

Sakurai Miki said outside the door: "Little Hitomi? I'm sorry to bother you, are you awake now? I have something important to ask you, can you open the door?"

Xiaotong bit her lower lip lightly, and then said, "Senior Sakurai? What's the matter? It's too late now, is there anything I can't talk about tomorrow?"

"Of course it's a very important matter. It might be too late tomorrow!"

Xiao Tong clenched her fist and replied: "Senior, you came to me so late... I'm really scared, are you really Sakurai-senpai? Is there anyone else by your side?"

There was silence outside the door for a while, and then a young man's voice sounded quite pleasant.

"Hello, female benefactor, I am a single-minded monk, entrusted by others, to come here to get rid of spirits."

There was a feeling of inexplicable inexplicable in Xiaotong's heart, she gritted her teeth and replied: "Senior Sakurai, I remember that our school should prohibit people outside the school from entering and leaving at will, and men are absolutely prohibited from entering the girls' dormitory. You take What is a man trying to do when he knocks on my door in the middle of the night? Exorcism? Are you making a joke that is not funny at all?!"

Sakurai's sullen voice came from outside the door, "Student Hitomi, you must know better than me whether there is an evil spirit in your room. You were talking to that evil spirit in front of my door yesterday afternoon, really. Am I deaf? At that time, I heard Xiaotong, you seemed to be talking to someone outside the door, and because of curiosity, I attached it to the cat’s eye and looked out, but I was shocked! Xiaotong, you seem to be talking to something People are chatting, but there is clearly nothing around you! Although I can't hear very clearly, I can still hear a few words. The evil spirit next to you, Xiao Tong, is indeed the evil spirit that killed Ning Meng and her! Hurry up! Open the door! Let me see the evil spirit that killed Ning Meng!"

Sakurai's voice became sharper and sharper, and at the same time, there was a violent "bang bang bang" on the door, as if there were bursts of urging sounds.

Xiaotong didn't dare to open the door no matter what at the moment, who knows whether Sakurai's mind is still normal now, she turned her head to look at Mochizuki Mian floating in the air, and shouted to her: "Get out of here first! Can you go out on the balcony!"

"Oh, Hitomi, are you worried about me? I'm so touched~"

That ghost can still make a sound like this without any sense of tension, and what it said makes Xiaotong a little annoyed.

"I just think you shouldn't be eliminated so simply before the matter is investigated clearly. In that case, many important clues will be lost!"

Wang Yuemian nodded vigorously, "Yeah, I understand, I understand everything."

"What the hell do you know!"

But at this moment, the sound of beating drums outside the door suddenly stopped, and was replaced by a slight "hissing, hissing" scratching sound from the crack of the door.

Before Xiao Tong could identify what the sound was, there was only a "click", and the door of the dormitory was slowly pushed open.

The first person to walk in was Sakurai Miki who looked rather ferocious. She held a student card in her hand, opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue to lick her lips. "Hehe" said with a smile: "Friendship Reminder, student Tong, because there are many such doors in our female dormitory room, so we use the anti-theft door of relatively average quality. For the sake of safety, it is best to lock the door. Otherwise, just use this A card is scratched into the crack of the door, and the door can be opened with a light pad when you find the position of the lock tongue, you must remember it next time~”

Looking at Sakurai's expression, Xiaotong felt a chill. At the same time, she also noticed that a man and a woman followed Sakurai into the room together.

That man was the monk who just spoke out. I saw that he was extremely tall, perhaps close to 1.9 meters. When he walked into the room, he even lowered his head slightly. The blue-purple cassock with the pure white temple pattern printed on it, with one palm in front of the chest in the left hand, twisting Buddhist beads in the hand, and a six-ring tin rod in the right hand.

From the moment he walked into the room, his eyes were locked on the spot where Wang Yuemian was.

The other girl who walked into the room was also wearing the uniform of Trinity School. She was also very tall, at least 175cm tall, at least among the girls.She has short hair that is quite masculine, and her eyebrows are like swords, and she looks very heroic.If it weren't for the skirt she was wearing and the barely recognizable ups and downs on her chest, Xiaotong couldn't be sure that she was a girl for a while.

Such a person should be very famous in school.

In fact, even Xiaotong, who is extremely lacking in social interaction, feels quite familiar when looking at this girl. She seems to be a third-year senior, and she seems to be always seen on the sports field. She seems to be the trump card of the sports department. Sometimes there will always be some girls screaming.

Hmm... remember what the name should be...

"Hello, Sankayue, I'm Takao Kazuha." The girl gave Xiaotong a friendly smile, then tilted her head and blinked her left eye, "Although you may not know me well, I know I still know you, seriously, we might still be considered neighbors."

Chapter 48 This novel actually has a battle chapter, although it is only a turn-based battle

"Neighbor?" Xiaotong chewed the word in her mind. She grew up in a shrine, and there were no other people around the shrine.

No... If you expand the range of neighbors a little... the last name of the person in front of Xiao Tong emerged in his mind.

"Takao...could it be Takao-san Yakuo-in...?"

Kazuha Takao smiled and nodded.

Xiaotong clicked her tongue, saying that Yakuo-in insisted that they were indeed neighbors, after all, their own shrine was also opened on the mountainside of Mount Takao.However, Yakuo-in Yuki-ji Temple is one of the three main temples of the Shingon sect, and one of the most popular temples in China. There are not many believers. Thinking about it this way, the term "neighbor" seems to be a shrine of its own.

Although the attitude of the other party seemed quite friendly, it did not help to reduce the tense atmosphere at the moment.

Xiaotong looked directly at Kazuha Takao and said, "Senior Takao, hello. I'm sorry that I didn't know that there was a senior who lived so close to my house in the school. If the time and place were changed, I think I must be very happy." I am happy to invite you to be our guest. But with all due respect, breaking into other people’s rooms in the middle of the night should be taboo, no matter according to school rules or Buddhist rules, right?”

Kazuha nodded, "That's true, but strictly speaking, I'm not a Buddhist disciple. It's just that my family background is relatively special. As a member of the student union and the head of the sports department, I still have some flexibility when it comes to the urgent matter of student safety. The right to deal with it. I heard that there are evil spirits wandering in the school, which may even endanger the lives of students. This is already the most urgent thing. So I immediately looked for me after I heard that the evil spirits were found. My brother is here to help, and it will already be time when my brother arrives."

"Why are you talking so much nonsense with her!" Sakurai said impatiently, and at the same time began to look around, trying to find the figure of the evil spirit. Said: "Master Yixin, is that evil spirit here?!"

Yixin looked at Wang Yuemian's direction and said calmly, "There are indeed evil spirits here."

Kazuha's expression gradually became serious, "Then brother, please start exorcism."

"Hey, wait a minute!" Wang Yuemian yelled loudly without finding a chance to speak, "Hey, monk, you can see me, right? Then listen to people first! Why do you call others something when you come up?" Evil spirit, isn't that like calling you 'baldy'? It's very impolite! Besides, a beautiful girl like me, who respects the old, loves the young, gentle and lovely, like me, doesn't look like an evil spirit! Please don't make such bad mistakes as preconceived ideas and subjective assumptions!"

"People's obsessions remain in this world and cause trouble, that is, evil spirits. There is a difference between life and death. For dead things, please let go of your obsessions and go to the other shore immediately."

Before waiting for Mian to argue a few more words, Yixin raised the tin stick in his right hand slightly, and then shook it to the ground.

It was as if the roar of a heavy ancient clock rang directly in the minds of everyone present, and among them, Wang Yuemian felt the strongest, as if someone hit her head with a big hammer, which made her have a splitting headache, and she couldn't even think about it. They all felt difficult, pain appeared on their faces, and their figures seemed to be a little more transparent.

Seeing this scene, Xiaotong subconsciously took a step forward, stood in front of Mian, and shouted to Yixin: "Master, please wait a moment! I think... this spirit should be harmless, and it shouldn't be needed... "

"Harmless?" Sakurai sneered, "Yesterday afternoon, I seemed to hear that you are pointing out that she is not sleeping her spirit, right? If not, then it is only the thing that killed her Is it? I still want to ask you, Hitomi, you should have known about her existence, why didn't you tell us?"

"I seem to have told you yesterday, but you didn't believe it yourself."

Xiaotong retorted casually.However, she also introspected. At the beginning, she wanted to monitor this spirit so that it would not harm others. She persisted until the priest came back and let the priest do the exorcism. After all, she did not know anyone else who could A person who performs exorcism.Thinking about it this way, it seems that her original purpose should not conflict with the purpose of these people in front of her now.

It's just that, when she didn't realize it herself, her purpose seemed to have changed a little bit.

"This matter is a bit complicated. I think that if she is eliminated here, it may make us ignore the real culprit who killed Mochizuki-senpai and made Oshima-san unconscious until now."

"Stop talking nonsense, I've already begun to seriously doubt whether Mian's death really has something to do with you, student Tong?"

"It's absolutely nothing, I'm..."

A tinkling sound sounded again, interrupting the conversation between Sakurai and Hitomi.

Master Yixin ignored the dispute between the two, but his eyes were tightly locked on the ghost behind Xiaotong.

"Stand back." He said coldly, with a serious look on his face, "Get out, leave this room!"

However, it is too late.

The door that was originally open suddenly closed heavily by itself without warning, with a loud "bang", and the upper door lock was automatically locked, tightly locking the way out.

And behind the ghost who was holding his forehead and showing pain, a figure was faintly reflected on the floor-to-ceiling glass door leading to the small balcony.

It was a girl who was about the same height as Mochizuki Mian in front of her, with exactly the same appearance and clothes.

It's just that the expressions are completely different.

She stood upright in the mirror, her brows were tightly frowned, her eyes slowly opened halfway, revealing the scarlet pupils showing madness, her mouth was open, as if a cruel beast was roaring in demonstration, with a ferocious expression abnormal.

The girl in the mirror slowly raised an arm.

"Zi——" There was a toothache grinding sound in the room.

The wardrobe placed in the corner moved suddenly as it rubbed against the ground, turning into a heavy cannonball and shooting at Yixin in the middle of the room.

The room is not spacious, there is not much room to move and dodge.Yixin has been keenly placing the tin rod across his chest in an attempt to block the fast-moving wardrobe, and then he was slammed against the wall.

As he pushed hard against the wardrobe that was still compressing his remaining space, an even harsher and sharper sound sounded.

The overall frame of the bed table on one side of the wall began to twist, as if an invisible giant was playing with a fragile toy, a handprint was deeply sunk into the metal armrest, and a piece of metal was torn from it. The long stick, the bed toppled down like tatters, and the long metal stick was suspended in mid-air, slowly turning its direction, and facing its sharp side with irregular cuts to Miki Sakurai.

Sakurai felt a sudden burst of terror.

Pushing open the cabinet in front of him with all his heart, holding a spell in his left hand, and chanting words——

"Nan Wu, Shamanduo, Fa Zhe Luo, Shu, Sha!"

This is the mantra of Fudo Mingwang, which is used to eliminate demons and obstacles.

Yixin uttered the truth, and hit the metal stick with his left palm, but the power was only to deflect the angle of the metal stick by three points, and the metal stick flew by his side and stuck in the On the wall behind him, three inches into the wall.

Seeing another noise in the room, I don't know what that invisible thing used as a weapon, and I just know that I can't delay it any longer.

He took a few steps forward abruptly, passed the ghost in the center of the room with a painful face and the somewhat dull pupil, raised the tin stick in his right hand, and slammed it heavily on the glass door where the girl's figure was reflected.

A faint brilliance flashed on the tin rod, and the glass shattered in response.

However, the scattered glass shards had just flown a certain distance, but they did not continue to do free fall.

A girl's ferocious face appeared on each piece of sharp glass shards, and all the shards were suspended in the air, turning their directions in unison, pointing the sharp end to Yixin.

Then, speed up.

(PS: I originally wrote that the dormitory is a two-person room. Each person has a small bedroom, and then shares a living room. After thinking about it, it is unrealistic and unnecessary, so I changed it to two two-person rooms with beds and tables. The previous article already edited)

Chapter 49 Trust Me

"Sister Mochizuki, stop!"

After shouting such a sentence, there were a few large drops of cold sweat on Xiaotong's forehead.

At this moment, she was stretching out her arms in front of Master Yixin, and the countless glass shards were hovering only about a palm away in front of her.

This scene looked as if time stood still, but the sweat dripping from his forehead to his cheeks undoubtedly reminded Xiaotong that time was still flowing as usual.

Xiaotong is actually gambling.

Wang Yuemian mentioned before that she in the mirror has a different expression from her, always closes her eyes, and always seems to be against her, she thinks that she in the mirror is the evil ghost.

But in fact, Xiaotong has almost never seen Mochizuki's reflection in the mirror.When she stood in front of the mirror, there was nothing in the mirror, that is to say, only she could see her with her eyes closed in the mirror.

The reason for saying "almost never seen" is because, in fact, she still saw it twice.

The first time was now, and the last time was at the very beginning, when I wanted to use a cross to send that ghost on the road.

That time, the "Sister Mochizuki" in the mirror also made a big fuss.

But if you think about it carefully... It seems that the "Sister Mochizuki" in the mirror is the Mochizuki Mian who is wandering outside to protect her, right?

Yes, when she appeared, it seemed that Wang Yuemian was in danger, and the targets were all people who were a direct threat to Wang Yuemian.

Xiaotong had thought before, if her conjecture was correct, and Mochizuki Ningmeng had a ghost with whom she had a good relationship with since she was very young, then where did that guy go after Mochizuki Ningmeng died? Where are you going?

If you think about it this way, it may be unexpectedly close.

So, what Xiaotong is betting on is that this "Sister Mochizuki" probably...maybe...maybe...maybe...maybe...wouldn't attack her?
