I’m a Witch In Dongying

Bai Shuiqiu's mind suddenly flashed, as if vaguely caught something:

"Shiyuan-sensei, you were originally identified by the onmyoji in Kyoto as the murderer who killed Prince Akane...could it be that it was related to Doko Ibaraki?"

After all, Ibaraki Doko is best at changing appearances...

After hearing Bai Shuiqiu's question, Jiufeng Ziyuan glanced up at her, then fell into a long silence.

It wasn't until Bai Shuiqiu thought she might not answer that she saw the woman nodded:

"Yes."

"You are right, the person who killed Akui is indeed the ghost clan of Dajiangshan."

Jiufeng Shion took a deep breath and slowed down his speech:

"They had already occupied the Dajiangshan area before the Heian Era, and they carried out various burning, killing and looting activities in the surrounding areas. At that time, it was during the most chaotic Hyakki Yakyu period in Kyoto history, and Yin Yang Riao was unable to kill the ghosts. , On the contrary, the territory of the ghost tribe continued to expand, and finally the ambition expanded to the point where it wanted to swallow the royal family and even the entire Kyoto.

Under this premise, Akui, who is both the heir of the royal family and the priestess of Ise Jingu, became an important part of their goals.

The original intention of the group of ghosts was to take Akui as a hostage, but some mistakes occurred in the process, coupled with the resistance of Akui himself, so in the end...

At that time, I happened to be very close to the royal family, so I was also used by the trap they set up and became the scapegoat for Akui's death.

They carefully planned the entire plan. First, they deliberately showed evidence of the collusion between ‘I’ and the ghost clan, and then pushed the cause of Akui’s death on me...

It’s ridiculous to say that I was chased by Yin Yang Lao, and after I left Kyoto, I gradually realized their intentions, but at that time I was exhausted to run for my life, and I didn’t have the energy to find the ghost clan, and I even went. , With my strength at the time, I couldn't compete with the many ghost races on the big rivers and mountains.

after that……

It is as recorded in your human history.

Nearly a hundred years after Akui's death, Yuan Laiguang led his army to break through Dajiangshan and punish the ghost king Jiu Tongzi. A large number of ghost tribes were scattered, and in the following decades, they were successively hunted and hunted by onmyojis all over Dongying. kill.

However, as the leader of the Dajiangshan ghost tribe, Ibaraki Dozi and Xingxiong Dozi have never caught the net. Although there are occasional rumors that they have successfully retreated from the group of guys, they are all proved to be deliberate. Spread it out and put a golden lie on your face.

Only in the Edo period, I got the exact information on their appearance from certain channels, but unfortunately, I finally threw myself away and made the guy out of my sight again.

If I had a chance to catch it this time, I would be very happy. "

...

This period of time has obviously been buried in the heart of Jiufeng Ziyuan for a long time.

Bai Shuiqiu had knocked on the side several times before, but he hadn't inquired about the specific news. He didn't expect to be revealed by her at this time.

From this narration, it is not difficult to understand why the old monsters hate the ghost clan so deeply...

If it were not for her lack of strength, she would have gone to seek revenge from the ghost clan during the Heian era...

After a moment of silence, Jiufeng Ziyuan spoke again:

"You don't need to worry about the Tanglang Town matter for the time being, I will try to investigate."

"Can……"

Bai Shuiqiu subconsciously wanted to say something, but as soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by the old monster.

"Don't worry, I know how to measure it. Hojo and the countermeasure team, I won't provoke them proactively."

Speaking of this, Jiufeng Ziyuan paused: "Well, this is also to reduce the risk of exposure, because if the group of guys want to find it, they must use you as a clue. If I continue to appear by your side, I might be caught They see through their identities and even attack you directly.

Only when I turned into the dark, those guys would throw rat-inhibitors and dare not take any action, and in this way, it would be more convenient for me to collect clues. "

"makes sense……"

Bai Shuiqiu thought about it in his heart, and finally nodded, agreeing to the old monster's proposal.

The two briefly discussed a few more words, then temporarily ended the topic, turned around and walked into the room.

Until this time.

Jiufeng Ziyuan glanced at Bai Shuiqiu's hair that was not completely dry, and said lightly: "You are in your menstrual period, and you went out to get caught in the rain. You will dry your hair later and drink some hot **** soup. Go to sleep. There is still your game tomorrow."

"I see……"

Bai Shuiqiu nodded.

...

While Bai Shuiqiu was busy making **** soup.

In a Japanese manor dozens of miles away.

Wearing a hunting suit, Hojo Goro knelt on the futon in the living room, and was telling what he had encountered in Mantis Town.

This living room is very large, with a spacious space of nearly one hundred meters. The hanging and placed decorations look very elegant, and it is easy to see the identity and heritage of the family.

Moreover, there are several other people sitting on their knees in the room, all wearing hunting clothes or dark kimonos, sitting in different positions according to their identities in the family, all listening patiently to Hojo Goro's narration.

"In other words, that eater finally fell into the hands of the Asakura family?"

"Yes."

Hojo Goro nodded and replied, "I tried to ask Asakura Fumatae, but I didn't succeed.

I suspect that they rushed to get in touch with the witch named Bai Shuiqiu before the other families, it was probably also to gain the power of Qingluhuo. Hmph, the woman Rie Asakura, who pretends to be so noble on the surface, is actually not trying to use any means for profit, so eager to get close to Bai Shui Qiu...

I don't know what the girl is capable of, being able to accept a monster of this level as a shikigami, but fortunately, we can learn the whereabouts of that monster. "

There was a short silence.

After a while, another person in the room spoke:

"I previously investigated the information of this maiden named Shirasuiqiu. The shrine where she is located is in Narita City. It is a small shrine that is not well-known. It was only 70 years ago that a maiden with very powerful spiritual power appeared, called Shirami Sana, once killed the monster Crazy Bones who fled from Tokyo to Chiba Prefecture..."

Compared with Hojo Goro, this person is much older.

From the appearance, he is at least forty or fifty years old, his face is covered with interlaced wrinkles, but his eyes are shining brightly: "Perhaps the person who really subdued the Qinglu fire is actually the Baishui Sana. Then after she died, she passed on to the descendants of the Baishui family together with the [Ghost Cut] of unknown origin.

Otherwise, relying on Bai Shuiqiu's current strength, no matter what method is used, it will be impossible to subdue Qingluhuo.

It's just... kind of weird. "

"Uncle mean?"

Hojo Goro and others cast their gazes over.

The latter thought carefully, and then slowly said:

"Whether it is Aoluhuo or Demoncut, they are both quite powerful shikigami and magical instruments. Even in the hands of a large family like our Hojo family, they are enough to be passed down from generation to generation, while Tenmoku Shrine is in control at the same time. Two pieces.

Such a shrine, even if its descendants have limited cultivation aptitudes, it stands to reason that it should have long been famous in the spiritual world. Why has it been silent for such a long time?

Except for the years when Shirami Sana was active, not many people even knew the name of this shrine in Kanto. This situation... is really unusual. "

After hearing this, several people present fell silent.

Generally speaking, the practice of this kind of thing depends on the lineage.

Although there are ordinary people from ordinary backgrounds who, due to various chances and coincidences, possess the spiritual media qualities that can see ghosts clearly, the vast majority of spiritual media qualities exist in a small number of families and are passed on from generation to generation. Therefore, genius practitioners often appear only in large families with noble bloodlines and thriving people.

It is normal for a family of practitioners to have a strong or weak spiritual power for several generations before and after.

But among a group of mediocre people whose aptitudes are almost equal to ordinary people, it's a bit strange that a genius who is not born out of the world suddenly appears.

not to mention……

Since the Baishui family can master the magic weapon of "Ghost Cut", it means that the ancestors of this bloodline have had very powerful seniors, so in the previous one or two hundred years, there should have been like Baishui long ago. A talent like Sana is right. Even if there are only a few of them, it will not prevent Tenmou Shrine from spreading its reputation.

Several people in the Hojo family were puzzled by this.

After a while.

Only then did I see the head of the Hojo family sitting in the upper seat, raising his hand to his mouth, and coughing: "For information about Tenmou Shrine, you should wait until this meeting is over, and you can collect it in private. It has fallen into the hands of the Asakura family, so we must take action as soon as possible to avoid being caught by the Asakura family."

"Tukjin, you take a few people as soon as possible and keep an eye on the Dajiangshan area. If there are other ghosts, you will probably choose that place as your home base.

Wu Lang, you continue to stare at the movement of the witch named Bai Shuiqiu, don't let her and Qingluhuo get out of our sight.

And Yusuke..."

After the patriarch's arrangement was completed, Hojo Goro and others who were called by the name bowed their heads and agreed.

"Then, let's talk about it for now."

The elder parent waved his hand: "It’s getting late. I’m sorry everyone has been sitting here for so long, so please go back and rest early. Wu Lang, this trip is especially hard for you. When you turn back, you can go to Atsushi to pick a magic weapon. There is no compensation for this action."

"Thank you Patriarch."

After thanking Hojo Goro and others, they bowed in salute.

Wait until everyone has left.

The "Patriarch" is still sitting in the living room solemnly, holding a tea cup made of purple sand, drinking tea.

This patriarch looks over 60 years old, his hair is almost completely white, he is wearing a dark brown kimono, and his back is rickety. The whole person looks extremely old, but he casts a wave of no anger from his demeanor and temperament. The majesty of self-prestige makes people afraid to underestimate it.

After a while.

The "Patriarch" slowly put down the tea in his hand, looked around quietly, and confirmed that no one came here anymore, then slowly straightened up his waist and looked into the mirror to take care of his clothes.

During this process, the "Patriarch"'s rickety back gradually straightened, and his white hair gradually turned into half black silk.

Even the shape of the face reflected in the mirror seems to be a little different from the previous one. Although the facial features have not changed much, in the majestic aura just now, it is a little more cunning.

"Ghost cut..."

"It's really a long-lived name. It's been a long time since I was about to forget those things that happened on Suzaku Avenue... Do you really think that the Ghost Slayer like this is qualified to use it? Since it has fallen into In the hands of a mediocrity, let me take it back and recast it by the way. How about a new name, "Renche"?"

While speaking, the "Patriarch" slowly got up in front of the coffee table, and moved his neck a few times by the way, only to hear the sound of creaking knuckles from under its skin, which made people shudder.

"And the fire of the blue heron... you really haven't changed at all. After a thousand years, you are still entangled with the human witch, which is simply a shame among the monsters.

Last time you failed to booby trap in Edo, this time...you shouldn't be able to escape, right? "

Mime private 504

Early the next morning.

Just after seven o'clock, the brilliant sunlight poured in from the window, leaving patches of mottled light on the wooden floor in the hotel room.

"Sneez—"

Bai Shuiqiu curled up and sneezed, rubbing his nose unnaturally.

After a whole night's rest, the physical strength that was consumed in the Sun's fight with Shifagui last night has almost recovered.

The unpleasantness caused by the encounter with Hojo Goro and others also disappeared after waking up from this sleep, but I don’t know if it was because of the intense exercise and the rain outside until I woke up. After coming over, Bai Shuiqiu still felt a slight pain in her lower abdomen, which made her frown involuntarily.

"The girl's body is trouble..."

Bai Shuiqiu murmured, then lifted the quilt and sat up from the bed.

First, he stretched his waist against the sunlight outside the curtains, and then went to the bathroom to wash in slippers.

According to the schedule of the IH competition, today is the day to decide the final victory.

There is no matchup between two games in the sport of Kyudo, and there is no talk of teamwork. The eight players selected from the previous rounds will compete together in a group, and then they will be eliminated in the order in which they missed. The last one is left.

At this stage of the game, Ogata from the men's team had already been brushed down.

Therefore, Bai Shuiqiu is the only person still on the court at Narita High School. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is "the hope of the whole village". Therefore, she still feels a little bit of psychological pressure.

Of course……

Just a little bit".

After careful observation in the arena these days, Bai Shuiqiu already has a good idea of ​​his archery level. Even if the body is not in the state, it should be no problem to keep a runner-up, and only when the Liu Yuan Mixia decides the victory or defeat, there is a possibility of loss.

But even the runner-up has already set the record of Narita High School's Kyudo Club in the IH competition, and it is completely possible for the school to go to school.

Breakfast is provided by the hotel.

After the meal, Bai Shuiqiu, together with other members of the Kyudo Club, drove to the Shimadzu Stadium under the leadership of Shiramine Shion.

"By the way... Teacher Shiyuan, do you want to go, too?"

On the tram, Bai Shuiqiu glanced at Jiufeng Ziyuan a little unnaturally.

According to the results of her discussions with the old monster yesterday, the latter should be moved into the dark to avoid being caught by the Hojo family and the Kyoto countermeasure team.

Facing Bai Shuiqiu's inquisitive eyes, Jiufeng Shiyuan smiled slightly: "Today is the day of the finals. If my leading teacher does not show up, it will be more likely to attract the attention of interested people. Regarding the investigation of Mantis Town, I will It’s done after the game."

"Oh well."

Now that Jiufeng Ziyuan had drawn up a plan, Bai Shuiqiu didn't say much anymore.
