I’m a Witch In Dongying

　　 "These mists... are they made of black mud?"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu frowned.

　　 She doesn't know much about Hei Mu's abilities.

　　 I only know that this thing can wrap mud in some low-level monsters, and then drive the latter to go out to act, acting as their own eyeliner, and investigating outside intelligence.

　　 The flocks of black birds that appeared in Tianmu Mountain and Narita High School before were all produced in this way.

　　 However, it is unclear whether these mists are caused by this thing.

The only rain girl who has dealt with Hei Ni in front of her is still asleep, while Jiufeng Ziyuan just stood in the distance, watching the fire from across the bank, and did not see the specific process of the battle clearly, so most of the abilities that Hei Ni possessed It's only a little knowledge, and when I took her out of Lantern Mountain before, I didn't mention this.

　　 "I don't know."

The older brother of the Aikawa brothers shook his head: "We have not seen the battle between the blue heron and the black mud with our own eyes, and we do not have enough intelligence about it. However, based on the current observations, the creation of these mists may not Not a living monster."

"what does that mean?"

　　"There are indeed some monsters that can manipulate the water vapor in the air to form a fog-shrouded environment, such as the one you encountered on the mountain before.

　　 But the fog created by the monsters can often find its source, because the demon power that forms these fogs, and the monsters themselves, are a whole that maintains each other, just like tributaries branching out from a big river.

However, these mists on Lantern Mountain are all rootless water. There are several possibilities to cause this result, but the most likely one is that the monster has died, so all the demon power in the body is lost. Only then will such a dense fog that lasts for years..."

　　 Brother Aikawa explained a few more words.

　　 These two are a few years older than Suzuki Zhuxi. They joined the countermeasure team a few years earlier than her, and they have experienced more supernatural events.

　　 So it only took a while to analyze the possible causes of the fog.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu listened to the description of the two brothers, narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to ponder:

"So to say……"

　　 "I did see a huge corpse on the top of Lantern Mountain before...

Chapter 381 Earthquake Catfish?

　　 When he said this, Bai Shuiqiu's mind came to the scene that he had previously overlooked on the back of the old monster.

　　 Although most of her attention at the time was on the black pool and the sealing circle on it.

　　 But I also noticed the piles of white corpses scattered beside the black pool.

　　 These things are obviously left over a long time ago.

　　 There is a giant skeleton three to four meters high and ten meters long, which looks like a catfish in shape.

When the fog in most of the surrounding areas was blown away by the impact brought by the rain girl and the black mud, the figure of this thing was always surrounded by a thick cloud of fog, as if even a violent mountain breeze. Can't blow it off.

　　 Maybe...

　　 The source of the fog on Lantern Mountain is from this corpse.

　　 "Is it shaped like a catfish..."

　　 After hearing Bai Shuiqiu’s description, the Aikawa brothers and Suzuki Zhuxi looked at each other face to face, and pondered for a moment:

　　 "So, the skeleton that Miss Bai Shui saw may be the legendary earthquake catfish..."

　　 "Earthquake catfish?"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu's heart beats.

　　 She suddenly understood what happened to the earthquake mentioned in the previous information.

　　 "Earthquake catfish" is a very old and rare monster.

　　Because of the long lapse of time, the original cause is difficult to research, but it is generally believed that the body of the "seismic catfish" is a huge catfish spirit, which has the ability to shake the ground veins, thereby triggering a wide range of ground vibrations. In some places in ancient times, this kind of monster was once enshrined by humans as a **** to pray for the latter to calm the earthquake.

　　 However, in most cases, the earthquake catfish still exists as a monster.

　　For example, in the legend, the big catfish was suppressed by Jianyu Thor in Kashima Shrine.

——It is said that when the Kashima Shrine was first built, Jianyu Thunder God used the [key stone] to suppress a large catfish under the grounds of the shrine, and in 1855, in the month of October, Kamimatsuki , Because Jianyu Raijin temporarily left the shrine and went out for wandering, and the priest who took care of the earthquake catfish acted unfavorably at the moment, causing the catfish to escape, causing the famous "Ansei Earthquake" in history.

　　 This earthquake can be one of the most destructive earthquakes in Japanese history, and it caused the deaths of nearly 10,000 people on Kyushu Island.

　　 In addition, there have been several earthquakes in history, which are rumored to be related to earthquake catfish.

　　Of course, because the country of Japan was originally in an earthquake zone, earthquakes and tsunamis caused by plate movement and friction were originally common occurrences, and it was a bit too subjective to completely push the monsters into trouble.

　　 There are only a handful of earthquakes caused by earthquake catfish that have been truly confirmed.

　　 It’s just that, compared with ordinary monsters, the damage caused by earthquakes is relatively greater, so the existence of earthquake catfish is especially daunting.

　　If the skeleton really belongs to the earthquake catfish...

　　 can explain what happened to the earthquake that happened in Lantern Mountain seventy years ago.

It seems that the monster entrenched on Lantern Mountain is not just a black mud. This earthquake catfish has also appeared on the top of the mountain. It was only beheaded in the battle between Shirasui Sana and the black mud, so this time It didn't appear.

Ok……

　　 There is actually another possibility.

That is, the Seismic Catfish was actually a shikigami who was subdued by Shirasui Sana. He followed the latter to participate in this battle. However, because of his weak strength, he was killed by the black mud in the fighting method. The dead body remained in Lantern Mountain. The demon power in the body spilled out and turned into a thick mist to cover up the entire hill, forming a natural curtain to prevent outsiders from snooping.

　　 After all, the existence of these mists is originally a two-way street.

　　 On the one hand, it prevents the situation in Lantern Mountain from being snooped by people outside, and on the other hand, it also minimizes the possibility of outsiders entering the mountain at will. Otherwise, the existence of black mud may have been discovered long ago.

　　 Both possibilities seem to make sense.

　　 But the truth is still unknown, maybe only after Yu Nu woke up, we can inquire clearly.

　　 Next, the Aikawa brothers asked Bai Shuiqiu in detail.

　　 After she had said everything she knew, the two closed their mouths and started to stand together, thinking and discussing.

　　 At this time, the night is already very dark.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu rubbed his eyes, feeling a little tired.

Suzuki Zhuxi saw her tiredness and smiled slightly: "Well, sister Xiaoqiu is also very tired today. Why don't you go back to rest first? There are me and Shibeibei on Lantern Mountain, and Brother Aikawa is in charge. What's wrong. If there is any new situation in the future, I will contact you in time."

"……Oh well."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu nodded.

　　 She is really a little sleepy.

　　 From three or four o'clock this morning, I got up and rushed over here. It has been nearly 24 hours. Except for a nap at noon, Bai Shuiqiu hasn't closed his eyes.

　　 So at this juncture, I can't care about being polite with Suzuki Zhuxi.

　　 After greeted the girl and the Xiangchuan brothers, Bai Shuiqiu left Lantern Mountain.

　　 After learning of Bai Shuiqiu’s intention to go, Nishihiro Kojiro, the head of the secret service team, arranged two members and sent her all the way back to Tianmu Mountain.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu walked along the path and returned to the shrine. When he entered his room, he couldn't even change his clothes, so he lay on the pillow and fell asleep.

　　 This sleep is all day...

　　 The time of the White Lotus Sect’s rally is Saturday, so today I don’t need to go to school, so I can rest at ease.

　　 It wasn't until four or five o'clock in the afternoon that Bai Shuiqiu finally woke up.

I sat up from the bed in a daze, clothes and hair were a bit messy, shook his head, and when he was facing the wall in a daze, he heard the direction of the door, and there were a few slight knocks on the door. As far as I can see, there is a white face with a big smile: "Can you come in, Xiao Qiu?"

"Eh?"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu was stunned for a moment before he realized it, and sorted out his messy hair with hindsight: "It's Keiko...When did you come here?"

Keiko Kashiro pursed her lips and said softly, "I have been here for a while, and I have been chatting with the grandmother thousand generations in the living room just now. I wanted to take a look at you while my grandmother was out, but I didn't expect to meet you. wake up."

"Yes……"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu will be suspicious.

　　 If Keiko Kashiro really came here just now, there should be footsteps when walking through the corridor.

But after Bai Shuiqiu woke up, he didn't hear such a sound at all, so if not surprising, this girl should have come to the door while she was still asleep. As for the timing, is it a coincidence? I don't know anymore.

　　 "Excuse me, I only came back from outside this morning, and I have been sleeping until now, and I haven't had time to wash my face..."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu smiled unnaturally, got up from the bed, first carefully placed the umbrella on the bedside table in the cabinet, then tidyed up the clothes on his body, and pulled the collar.

　　 But no matter how I organize it, my clothes feel slimy, and I feel uncomfortable.

　　 "Well, Keiko, sit with grandma for a while, I'll take a bath..."

"OK."

　　Kamidai Keiko promised very simply, but he didn't mean to move in his footsteps. He waited until Bai Shuiqiu found out the changed clothes and walked outside with his arms in his arms.

Of course……

　　Kamidai Keiko will not follow her into the bathroom yet.

　　 When passing by the living room, the girl returned to the sofa and sat down quietly.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu takes a shower very quickly.

Except for washing hair, it took some time. After only more than ten minutes, Bai Shuiqiu changed into clean and refreshing home clothes, threw the clothes he had worn in the washing machine, and wiped his hair with a dry towel. , Pulling on slippers, walked out of the bathroom.

"Awaited."

　　 Under the gaze of Keiko Kandaji with a smile on his face, Bai Shuiqiu came to the middle of the living room and sat down with the girl across a coffee table.

Chiyo probably went out to work. During this time, the passenger flow of Tenme Shrine has increased a lot compared to before. It is only due to the two part-time witches, Hyuga Asuka and Kanako, who are not too familiar with their businesses. Sometimes they are too busy. Bai Shuiqiu or Chiyo will help.

　　 As for Ryoko, this female bodyguard was probably sent outside to help.

　　 So now, only Shiraizu and Keiko Kandaro are in the living room.

　　 Neither of them spoke immediately.

　　 The air fell into silence.

　　Kamidai Keiko put her hands on her knees, staring at Bai Shuiqiu intently, as if she didn't get bored. Under her fierce gaze, Bai Shuiqiu's face was a little red because he had just taken a bath:

　　 "Um, I'll pour a glass of water over..."

　　 There are two cups on the coffee table.

　　 It may be that Keiko Kandaro and Chiyo used to drink water when they were chatting here just now, but the tea in the cup was obviously cold, and the tea leaves inside had sunk.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu got up and made another pot of tea, first poured a cup to Keiko Kandaji, and poured himself a cup.

　　 When the glass of water was handed to her, Keiko Kamidai seemed to be deliberate, and he reached out to take it, and took Bai Shuiqiu's hands by the way, and looked at her slightly surprised expression, showing a mischievous smile:

　　 "Ahem, no kidding..."

Keiko Kamidai took the tea cup in her hand, blew the heat on it gently, and said with a smile: "Xiao Qiu, you still remember what you said before, when you come back this time, you will tell me what you have experienced. Say this agreement? Now, it should be possible to fulfill that agreement, right?"

　　 "You said this..."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu smiled slightly.

　　 She did say such things.

　　 Besides, it was before leaving for Lantern Mountain this time.

At that time, she was indeed a little bit unsure about this trip to Lantern Mountain, and she didn't even know if she could return safely. After all, Shirashui Sana had done something similar to her seventy years ago, and never again. Can come back. But now, it's a surprise.

　　After pondering for a while, Bai Shuiqiu spoke slowly, and briefly said about Lantern Mountain and Baishui Sana.

　　Kamidai Keiko held the tea in both hands, sipping a few sips from time to time, as if listening to a story, listening to Bai Shuiqiu's narration.

　　 "I always feel that the experiences of these predecessors are just like those legends in Zhiguai stories, which are fascinating..."

"Yes……"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu also took a sip of tea, moisturized his throat, and nodded in response.

To be honest, until now, her knowledge of Shirami Sana is very superficial. Apart from the bits and pieces of information she heard from Chiyo, she only knows that the latter has killed the monster crazy bones that made the major shrines helpless. Before she died, she and Yu Nv sealed the black mud on Lantern Mountain.

　　 But when you think about it, Shirami Sana has experienced more than these two supernatural events.

　　 Even if it is estimated based on the frequency of encountering a supernatural event in two months, from the age of fifteen to eighteen years old, Shirami Sana has had at least a dozen ghost bumping experiences.

　　 Not to mention, when this aunt was young, she often accepted orders from guests of the shrine to go to various places in Chiba Prefecture to help exorcism.

　　 If all these experiences are recorded, it should be a very long story.
