Outside the Shikami Well Oasis.
The night sky is like ink, no stars or moonlight can be seen, only the cold wind howls.
The silent Shishenjing Lake is where this Nuo-style Nuo formation is arranged.
Clusters of firelight could be seen dancing in the darkness, and red light was projected into the lake.
Many exorcists wearing Nuo masks were busy doing something near the fire.
The current location of Kamiya River is on the other side of the Nuo formation. With him are Onizuka Kirihotaru and other official spirit exterminators.
"It didn't rain tonight...but it's quite close to the lake."
"It's very appropriate that I was arranged to guard outside the Shishenjing Oasis. According to Satoru's future vision, the breeder and the plague god will rush to the Nuo formation... It's still unclear where the breeder will attack between the haunted house and the Nuo formation.
If I were too far away from the Nuo formation, I might miss them."
Unlike the other spirit-killing masters who were in a state of preparedness, Kamiya was currently holding the unsheathed Nanquan Yiwen and sitting casually on the bank of the lake. His thoughts were diverging. He looked at the Nuo formation on the other side from time to time, and looked up at the darkness from time to time.
Sky.
After a while, Onizuka Kiri Hotaru, who had a bow hanging on his waist and a large handful of yellow paper talismans, came over and sat down quietly next to Kamiyagawa.
The two just sat and didn't speak.
During the past three days, although they both stayed near the Ciji Haunted House, the little witch was too busy and had been accompanying Granny Gu to check the details of the preparations for the Nuo-chasing ceremony.
So these two good friends didn't talk or get along very much.
After sitting for a while, the little witch hugged her knees with her hands and said softly: "During the day, this place is obviously very beautiful."
"Well, I saw it yesterday."
"right."
The two were silent for a while.
Then it was the little witch who started the conversation: "Kamigu, are you afraid? My mother-in-law said that the plague god will be very strong."
Kamiyagawa did not answer immediately.
He turned around and looked at the little witch's face, watching the night wind blowing her hair away.
It seems that he wants to see something from the other party.
After staring like this for a while, he said: "If you are afraid, you are still a little scared."
"Eh? I thought you would be very handsome and tell me that you are not afraid." The little witch laughed out loud, her beautiful almond eyes shining brightly, "But to be honest, I am also a little scared now...
If I wouldn't have been afraid before, being a spirit slayer would be dangerous at any time, and I would have been mentally prepared for it."
After finishing speaking, perhaps feeling that she should boost morale at this time, she patted her chest again and added:
"However, we don't need to be too nervous. The Nuo chasing formation is perfectly arranged, and we will definitely win in the end."
"Well, we will win."
silence.
"By the way, Kamiya. Tomorrow we..."
"Wait a minute, look over there."
Before the little miko finished speaking, she was interrupted by Kamiyagawa, who raised his hand and pointed to the other side of the lake.
There, the exorcists wearing masks of the god Fang Xiang began to dance ancient and wild ritual dances around the bonfire.
They held hands, lifted their feet, turned in circles, and shook their bodies.
Figures of people disappeared and appeared in the flickering firelight.
The dance is mysterious and simple. Whether it is the dancer or the spectator, the spine and brain seem to be trembling with the dance steps.
At the same time, there was a low voice singing from the direction of the Nuo formation:
"When you decorate with beautiful ornaments, you offer wine, you use poems on the bright night. Women sing and dance in the winter, and when you are drunk, you ask the sky..."
Kamiyagawa and Onitsuka Kiriho stopped chatting and stood up from the ground at the same time.
The other spiritual slayers in the surrounding area also looked towards the other side of the lake with different expressions, and the light spots of the bonfire in the darkness were reflected in everyone's eyes.
"The Nuo array has started to activate?"
"Um."
The Shishenjing Oasis where the Nuo Formation is located is one kilometer away from the Ciji Haunted House.
It is definitely not possible to directly see the situation of the haunted house here.
But Granny Gu, who is leading the Nuo formation tonight, has been keeping in touch with Yuuki Makiyu, who is staying at the haunted house.
The Nuo array here is opened, which means——
Over there in the haunted house, the plague god is coming.
…
at the same time.
Jodo Shinshu Minami Honganji Temple.
This is the family temple of Kanazawa monk.
Kido Keiko, who was born with two daughters by a breeder, has been staying here since she was rescued by Kamiyagawa that night.
I usually just eat fast, recite Buddha's name, and listen to the monks reciting Buddhist scriptures.
This is used to appease Futakuchi, who goes crazy from time to time.
The masters of Jodo Shinshu master a set of Buddhist magic methods to reduce the evil spirit and resentment caused by strange talk.
Staying here to cultivate one's moral character has indeed calmed down Futakunu's riot to a certain extent.
But things are different tonight.
The side hall of the Buddhist temple.
In front of the gilded Buddha statue.
"Nawu, Ajuye, Polu Jiedi, Shuo Boluye..."
Monk Kanazawa, his uncle Master Huiming, and several other Honganji monks were sitting around chanting sutras.
Among several monks, Kido Keiko was sitting.
When listening to Buddhist scriptures these past two days, Kido always feels physically and mentally relaxed and at peace.
But now JK, who has wheat-colored skin, is not in a good condition. There is sweat on his forehead, and his temple hair is stained with sweat and stuck to his cheeks.
Her face was sickly red, and her breathing was very uneven, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and every time she seemed to be labored.
"Bodhisattva, Mahasattva, Maha, Kalunigaya..."
The monks lowered their eyes and chanted for a while.
The lights in the side hall began to flicker, flickering on and off.
A thin figure crawled out from under Kido Keiko's body, twitching and twisting.
It’s a Futakuchi girl who hasn’t appeared again in a long time!
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm so hungry! So hungry!"
Bang bang bang!
The hair on Futakuchi's head moved like tentacles, and the big mouth on the back of her neck opened painfully.
She almost went crazy and kowtowed to the monks and masters present.
Bang bang bang!
Blood flowed down the bruised forehead.
The Futakuchi woman rushed towards Kanazawa Seira, who was chanting sutras with his eyes lowered!
But the monks were also prepared.
"Om, Sa Bo is fine and drags, count and write!"
