This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

After resting for about ten minutes, everyone came to the foot of the shrine.

Everyone looked at the stack of stone steps that went up at least three hundred steps with surprised expressions on their faces.

But Beichuanji raised his eyebrows and came to the first torii gate.

This torii gate is different from ordinary torii gates.

There are no crossbars, just white ropes with zigzag imperial coins hanging on them.

You can still see the words engraved on these torii pillars that have faded from vermilion to pale red.

"These characters are the names of the people who built these torii gates in the past."

Shifang Kaguya explained, then walked forward and stroked the miserable red torii pillar, looking at the words on it that were worn away by the years and were almost legible.

She seemed to be feeling something, but soon the weak expression on her face disappeared and was replaced by determination.

Sifang Kaguya turned around again, looked at the bodyguard and driver behind her, and said in a solemn voice: "From now on, the front is the scope of the spiritual realm. You guys stay here to guard our things."

Then she looked at Beichuanji and the others:

"Master Kitagawa, Master Haneda, Master Onodera, let's set off."

Everyone nodded and followed Sifang Kaguya on the stone steps.

But the moment they stepped onto the stone steps, a cold feeling rose from behind, and the surrounding temperature also dropped unconsciously.

In fact, this is also very easy to understand.

After all, Kitagawa Temple and the others are now very close to the large spiritual realm of Shifang Shrine, and the environment of the spiritual realm can cause various uncomfortable symptoms to the human body. The overflowing resentment of the deceased can even cause ordinary people to have a period of reduced fortune and poor physical condition. Difference.

Master Haneda and the others looked alert, and their eyes began to wander around. It was obvious that they had entered a state of alert.

If you look carefully, you will find that the dense forest on both sides of the stone steps has become a little blurry and upside down, as if the crown and roots of the trees are upside down.

The dark resentment unknowingly covered the road behind him. In the dense forest on both sides, it seemed that the vague and indistinct sounds of the resentful spirits could be heard, and they could not form sentences at all.

"Sure enough... it is the right choice to come here when you encounter the devil." Sifang Kaguya held his breath slightly.

On her chest, the moonlight mirror was shining brightly.

This shimmering light was bright and soft, dispersing the fog composed of resentment.

She approached the spiritual realm naturally without using much of the good thoughts in Yue Huijing.

Under this vigilant condition, everyone continued to move forward.

They climbed upward for almost another twenty minutes, and finally stopped in front of a black fog of resentment.

This fog of resentment surges under a colorful halo, as if it wants to break through the halo and come to this world.

It can be seen that the barrier of the Shifang family shrine has been broken in many places. The gentle halo can no longer restrain the resentment, and wisps of resentment are squeezed out from everywhere like worms.

"...Is this the boundary of the Sifang family?" Beichuan Temple, who had been silent until now, spoke up.

He sounded a little surprised.

When he heard that Beichuan Temple would make such a sound, Shifang Kaguya was also satisfied.

I originally thought that Beichuanji would not show his emotions easily, but now it seems that the other party will still be surprised.

It seems that the strength of the Sifang family's barrier surprised the other party.

"Yes. This is the barrier built by the Sifang Family Master using the moonlight."

Shifang Kaguya confirmed Beichuanji's statement.

"...Really?" Beichuan Temple continued, staring at the barrier, and stopped talking.

But in the eyes of Shifang Kaguya, Beichuanji was shocked and speechless by the Shifang family barrier.

She was spreading knowledge about enchantment over there, but Beichuanji here was holding his chin, feeling weird.

Why did he think that this barrier would explode within a few hammer blows? There’s no need for Sifang Kaguya’s Yuehui Mirror at all?

Kitagawa Temple glanced at Kaguya Shifang, and when he saw that the other party had already reached the barrier, he also shook his head and hid his thoughts in his heart again.

"The current barrier is extremely fragile. Compared with the barrier that could isolate everything in the past...the current barrier is nothing at all. But even so, it cannot be broken through by human power. s things."

Sifang Kaguya sighed, then took off the Yuehui Mirror on his chest, turned his hands slightly, and pointed the Yuehui Mirror's mirror at the barrier in front of him.

The mirror surface glowed with rich brilliance.

Correspondingly, ripples appeared on the surface of the barrier in front of everyone.

The brilliance and the barrier intertwined with each other, eventually forming a passage that was large enough for one person to pass through.

And this passage is the passage leading to the Sifang Shrine.

Everyone followed Kaguya Sifang into the dark passage without hesitation.

This passage was not long, and everyone was out of it after about ten seconds.

"This is the Shifang Shrine." Kitagawa Temple stopped with his eyes flickering, and raised his head to look at the building in front of him.

Under the charming, bright red sunset that burns like fire, there are incomplete square stone slabs laying out the past.

And located on these stone slabs is the orderly shrine building.

Similar to the Sifang Village below, these Japanese-style and ancient shrine buildings have also become dilapidated and decayed.

Dead ivy was all over the wall with cracks.

The surface of these white walls has shown a black and gray color, and when viewed from a distance, it has a distorted feeling like a human figure.

About one-third of the tiles on the roof of the shrine have fallen off, exposing the bare frame.

The stone lanterns were moved horizontally on both sides, and some fell directly to the ground.

Ruined, desolate, desolate...

There is no problem in using that word to describe the scene in front of me.

but--

The area of ​​this Sifang Shrine is too large.

A cursory look can reveal that in addition to the main hall in front, a considerable portion of the shrine buildings continue at the back.

No wonder Shifang Kaguya is willing to make time.

After all, it is not easy to find a 'moonscope' in such a group of houses.

"As you can see, the area in front of us is the Shifang Shrine." Shifang Kaguya explained: "Among them, the Shifang Shrine is divided into different areas such as the temple in front of the mountain, the music altar in the mountain, and the worship at the back of the mountain. In addition to these The area is mainly responsible for conducting rituals and sacrifices, and there is also a part of the area where priests and witches live..."

Shifang Kaguya continued: "The lost moon mirror is in one of these four areas... Because the dark moon came fiercely that year, the witch responsible for moving the moon mirror was swallowed by the evil thing, and the moon The telescope also disappeared...so I thought——"

She wanted to continue talking, but—

Bang! ! !

Along with the sound of the spirit body exploding, Sifang Kaguya's face was splashed with minced meat and black liquid.

She was confused by this sudden scene. She just blinked and then looked at Beichuan Temple with dull eyes.

The other party tightened his grip on a black sledgehammer.

And the sledgehammer stayed right next to her head... As long as the other party failed to control it for a moment, her head would be smashed together.

"Wraith spirit." Beichuan Temple simply explained and then released the hammer.

It was constructed into a hammer that drilled back into his body in the next second.

Kaguya Shifang couldn't help but look sideways.

At some point, a rickety figure stood beside her.

The tattered moon phase priest robe and the slender and twisted blue and white arms were stretched out directly towards her head, as if they were about to twist her head off at the next moment.

But before it could complete this purpose, Beichuan Temple had already hammered its head into minced meat.

The empty neck seemed a bit confused in the sunset.

With the muffled sound of the spirit body colliding with the ground, both Haneda and Master Onodera came to their senses.

They looked at Beichuan Temple and then at Shifang Kaguya, whose face was full of filth, as if they wanted to speak but dared not.

What else can be done? Is it possible to blame Beichuan Temple?

This is obviously impossible.

After all, the other party can be regarded as saving Sifang Kaguya.

But you want to say thank you...

Kitagawa Temple can be regarded as smearing Shifang Kaguya's face with filth. Besides, maybe Shifang Kaguya herself has a way to deal with it, but Kitagawa Temple used this method to make a miko who maintained a pure body become like this...

Of course...the most important thing is Beichuan Temple's method of removing spirits.

Is there anyone here who just swings the hammer?

This made Master Onodera, who had never seen Beichuan Temple remove spirits before, filled with astonishment. He approached Master Haneda and asked in a low voice: "Master Haneda, I remember Master Beichuan is the spirit remover you contacted, right?... He has always been Is this how you remove spirits?"

"Uh..." Master Haneda listened to Master Onodera's question. He could only laugh twice and said in a particularly uncertain tone: "I have seen Master Kitagawa remove spirits before... probably... it should be How about this?"

"..." Master Onodera.

That should probably be the case?

hiss...

In his opinion, to remove spirits, one should first use one's own kind thoughts to connect with the power of spiritual tools, and then use the spiritual tools to weaken the opponent, and finally eliminate the resentful spirits.

But Beichuan Temple's method of removing spirits simply omits the first two steps, and it's all over with one hammer blow.

Is there such a way to remove spirits?

"This should be Master Kitagawa's special spirit-removing method..." Master Onodera reluctantly suppressed the surprise in his heart and laughed dryly at Master Haneda.

Yes, the world is so big, and it is normal for Beichuan Temple to have such a special method of removing spirits.

However, Beichuan Temple's method must have flaws, otherwise how could it be possible to create a resentful spirit with just one blow?

Expelling evil spirits also requires a process. Highly lethal moves like Beichuan Temple should not be used too often.

Just as the two middle-aged mages were laughing at each other, Beichuan Temple spoke again:

"here we go again."

here we go again? !

Master Haneda and Master Onodera perked up and looked in the direction Beichuanji was looking at.

Sure enough, the air there twisted and squirmed, and a middle-aged male resentful spirit was squeezed out of the air silently.

This resentful spirit is neither a priest nor a miko. She is wearing an ordinary linen kimono, and her pale and slanted face is full of resentment towards the living.

This is simply a standard ‘Wraith Spirit’.

Seeing this resentful spirit, Master Haneda also calmly took out his spiritual tools and spoke: "Master Beichuan, you just used such a terrifying move to drive away the attacking resentful spirit. Now you must be exhausted, right? This resentful spirit will be handed over to you. Come to me and Master Onodera, and you can rest nearby."

"Huh?" Beichuan Temple, who had already planned to rush forward and deal with the resentment of the people with a hammer, frowned, and the death energy that had been condensed also escaped.

What is Master Haneda talking about?

He didn't quite understand.

Master Onodera who was on the side saw that Beichuan Temple was so "weak" that he couldn't even gather his sledgehammer, and he was determined in his heart.

Beichuan Temple's method of removing spirits is indeed flawed!

Thinking of this, Master Onodera immediately spoke:

"That's right. Master Beichuan can just recover himself next to him, and leave this resentful spirit to me and Master Haneda to deal with. There will definitely be opportunities for young people like you to perform in the future."

"...Um?"

There is something strange about Beichuan Temple.

What are these two people talking about?

What did he just do?

Why did you let him rest?

But that’s fine.

Since Master Haneda and Master Onodera are competing to attack the resentful spirit in front of them, Kitagawa Temple is happy to see the result.

After all, he could still see Master Haneda and Master Onodera's spirit-removing process without exerting any effort.

This is also a good thing.

Kitagawaji looked at Master Haneda and Master Onodera with some curiosity.

I saw them taking out their spiritual tools, and then——

Too inky.

Looking at the two mages who continued to weaken the resentment of the resentful spirits with their kind thoughts, Beichuan Temple shook his head.

It has been two minutes since the fight started. Master Haneda and Master Onodera used special spells to trap the resentful spirit in place, and then used spiritual tools to weaken the opponent's resentment. They waited until they were almost done before giving the opponent a fatal blow.

For Beichuan Temple, there is no need to learn this method at all.

And the idea in his mind that "I am a little better than Master Onodera" has also changed.

This 'a little bit'... seems to be a bit different.

After Master Onodera and Master Haneda expelled the resentful spirit, Kaguya Shigata, whose face turned into black liquid and the resentment disappeared, also stepped forward and thanked:

"This time we are really in trouble for Master Kitagawa, Master Haneda, and Master Onodera."

"It's not a big deal, it's what we should do."

Master Haneda and Master Onodera waved their hands, and then they looked at Beichuan Temple and said softly: "This time, it was mainly Master Beichuan's credit. If he hadn't exhausted his air and blood to drive away the one who attacked Miss Kaguya, Just a resentful spirit, now everything will be in vain."

The two of them patted Kitagawa Temple on the shoulders enthusiastically.

It seemed that the two people had reached an inexplicable consensus during the spirit removal process just now.

The two of them changed from the initial thought of "Kitagawa Temple lost all air and blood to save Shigao Kaguya" to "Kitagawa Temple lost air and blood to save Shigao Kaguya, and even couldn't stand".

Especially Beichuanji stood by and watched them nervously from beginning to end, as if as long as the two of them couldn't withstand it, Beichuanji would rush forward again at the risk of losing air and blood...

This made Master Haneda and Master Onodera even more moved.

Alas, Master Beichuan is such a good man.
