Kanda Shrine.
Due to the incident involving King Kousei and Hehe Shomon, this shrine has been closed to the public recently.
The garrison force headed by Kamiyagawa settled here.
The remains of Taira Shomon's head in Kanda Shrine are still sealed under the Nuo formation here.
The Countermeasures Room has no plans yet to break the seal and try to destroy Shomon's head.
Not to mention the possibility of the remains that have been preserved for thousands of years being destroyed, Onizuka Kirihota’s concerns mentioned before are not unreasonable——
What if once the seal is unlocked, Shomon's head will fly directly out of Tokyo to rendezvous with his other body parts...
Wouldn’t that be helping King Xingshi?
Shomon's head flew from Kyoto to Tokyo a thousand years ago. So, it's hard to say whether this kind of thing will happen again.
However, in order to prevent Taira Shomon from being resurrected, the Countermeasures Room dispatched Master Kamiyagawa and Soshita to guard Kanda Shrine and Sanjujukgendo Hall respectively.
These two are currently big figures in the spiritual world, and they cannot be allowed to stay in the same place indefinitely.
We can only hope that the people from Jiecheng Zhenjianyou and Juqiong Shrine can make some useful progress quickly in investigating King Xingshi.
…
The third day when Kamiya River entered Kanda Shrine.
That night.
Located in a guest room in the backyard of the shrine.
This room belongs to Kanoya.
No one in the countermeasures room objected to the fact that a ghost disciple wanted to bring his apprentice to stay in Kanda Shrine.
Originally, it was a normal arrangement for a master to lead his disciples in the spirit-removing industry when they went out on missions.
Xiaolu was sitting in the room, and a small incense burner beside him was sending out curls of smoke.
This group of incense is called "Dingwai", which is a mixture of agarwood, dipterocarp, and dendrobium. It doesn't have any special extraordinary power.
Buddhism talks about precepts, concentration, and wisdom. During meditation and meditation, entering concentration is one of the most sacred realms. Sitting in meditation is the beginning of entering concentration, and is often accompanied by an incense stick.
In addition to mastering the art of incense, Xiaolu has also been studying Buddhism.
Usually when she is learning several theoretical knowledge of spirit-removing techniques, she likes to light a pot of incense.
It can make the mind calm and the mind clear.
"Heaven, earth, people, gods and ghosts, scales, feathers, feathers, Kun... turn Yin into Yang, turn Yang into Yin - ah, the spirit control skills that master gave me are all in Chinese characters, it seems so difficult to master. Although master said that my control skills are all in Chinese characters.
I’ve started to get a little started in spiritual arts, but I still feel like I don’t have the key to it.”
After studying by himself for a while, Xiaolu scratched his head. Then he pushed the string of Bodhi beads tied to his left wrist into his palm and gently slid the Bodhi beads one by one.
This rosary was a gift from Teacher Kanazawa after she came back from Matsuzawa.
Wearing it on the body also has a calming effect.
However, the current rosary should be strictly called [Bodhi Rosary·Modified].
Because Kamiya once brought it into the ordinary world, he entrusted Sister Jue to carry out an upgrade.
Specifically, a small statue made of copper is embedded between every three white jade Bodhi beads.
The bronze statue is round in shape, not much bigger than rosary beads, and the carving is exquisite. It looks very beautiful when inlaid among Bodhi beads.
These small statues are for the shikigami of Kanoya to live in.
Although the effect is far inferior to the shikigami statue used by Kamiyagawa, for example, when Kaitan enters this small bronze statue, it does not have any bonus to the state of recovery, nor can it help fully absorb the candlelight of the Requiem Candle.
It's just a place to stay.
The First Copper is a very powerful spirit-containing metal material, capable of absorbing ghost stories at the level of an Aragami.
However, Xiaolu has not yet fully touched the threshold of the simple version of the spirit-removing technique, and it is still too early to contract with the Aragami.
She has not even succeeded in contracting even with the upstream D-class Sending Wolf.
Whether it's a wolf or a red deer, they just follow the deer voluntarily.
Moreover, three days ago, the wolf and the red deer were also sent to the eternal paradise by Shen Gu.
Kamiya originally didn't expect his apprentice's team of immature shikigami to play any role in guarding Kanda Shrine. He took Xiaolu with him purely to protect her.
As soon as there is a problem, let the tengu pull her into a riding space.
So it is enough to have the eight-foot girl by her side on weekdays.
"Yin and Yang are harmonious, and all things grow. No worries - no, no... I feel like I still need to listen to Master explain it again."
When I encountered some difficulties in my self-study, Xiaolu wanted to find his master.
I want to see Master demonstrate again how to coordinate with the mind method and mobilize the spirit-controlling energy in the body.
Kamiya's room is next door.
The distance between the two masters and apprentices is only a thin wall, and they can hear each other's movements as long as the sound is slightly louder.
Squeak——
The wooden door of the guest room was pushed open.
The deer crossed the threshold and came to the corridor outside.
The time now is actually just after 8 o'clock in the evening, but it is very dark in the courtyard. The moonlight is like a cold dagger, only cutting through a corner of the night. The courtyard is looming under this pale light. The night wind blows quietly, carrying
A hint of cold breath.
The grass and trees in the courtyard trembled slightly as if they couldn't bear the oppression of silence. They looked beautiful during the day, but when shrouded in night, the shadows of the grass and trees swayed in the moonlight, and the fallen leaves on the ground were disturbed by the night wind.
Tumbling and squirming, like headless flies, struggling blindly in the darkness.
"Is there something wrong?"
The little deer who just walked out of the door thought so.
She took a deep breath, her small nose twitching slightly.
Something is really wrong.
Luyeya has learned the art of incense from Miss Yunju. Just like Kamiya can see things that ordinary people can't see by condensing his pupils, Xiaolu can smell some smells that ordinary people can't smell. Some objects that are originally odorless can even
Concept, as long as the deer calms down, he can smell the corresponding "smell".
Although it is not as sharp as the master's skills, it is enough for her at this stage.
The "smell" of the night should originally smell like a faint scent of cloves.
But among the scent of cloves tonight, Lu Yewu also smelled a rotten smell.
The stench became stronger almost instantly.
It’s not just the smell, Luyewu can already see sudden strange phenomena with the naked eye——
There was a blue-black mist, hazily sweeping in from the air outside the shrine, rolling on the ground like clouds.
The clouds quickly approached before our eyes, covering the Kanda Shrine, and there was a bit of hazy light in them. There seemed to be something moving inside, and the outline gradually became clearer.
"That's...well! Master!"
Lu Yewu saw it, and there were many strange stories in the blue-black mist!
The "big bald" with one eye and a huge head, the "left and right" with two heads of a man and a woman on its neck, the "window head" with a slender neck and head floating back and forth in the air, and the "long breast" covered with strange and unspeakable organs
Po"...
There are strange stories that appear in the mist, and some deer can roughly guess their identities and names.
There are also some that she doesn’t recognize at all based on her current knowledge base.
Like a big snake with long legs, a strange ghost with only a cloud of smoke and a big mouth, a humanoid body covered in mucus, a woman with a body as thin as paper, an evil ghost with four arms and horns on top of his head, and hands full of eyes
A monster with an eyeless face...
Fluttering and swaying, hundreds of ghosts walk in the night.
Those ghosts are holding something in their hands or in their mouths. This ghost is holding a human arm, that one is holding a human leg, and another is holding a human head, and then there are eyeballs, ears, lips, heart, and liver.
To be continued...
