Tsurumi Aoi held the hilt of Ichimonji's sword in her hand and turned her attention again to the treasure house standing in the dim shadow.
She had already made a decision in her mind about what to do next, but she still asked: "Sister, what are you going to do?"
"Xiao Kui, let's contact Uncle Tsurumi first. It's really strange that this thing would appear next to your temple."
Of course Xiaolu knew there was something strange about this treasure house.
She could smell an unpleasant smell coming from over there, and the little old man's body also gave a timely warning.
But she was a little confused.
If that Wanbao House is related to some unknown strange story, then why does it appear here?
This is the area around Yoshikoji Temple, and from a mysterious perspective, this is the territory of Sister Marie.
Normally, no wild monster would dare to come here to cause trouble.
I still can’t figure out the origin of this treasure house.
Lu Yewu looked back at the busy streets of the Summer Night Festival a little further behind him. The bright and lively lights looked like a pyrotechnic and flowing light belt from a distance.
The deer's nature has always been kind.
Now that we know that there is something weird about that Ten Thousand Treasure House, if we act rashly and activate some unknown power inside, then ordinary people participating in the Summer Night Festival in the surrounding area are likely to be implicated.
Therefore, the first thing to do now is to contact Tsurumi Aoi's father in Yoshikoji Temple.
Mr. Chinobu Tsurumi was able to evacuate the crowd.
Also, it would be best to quickly contact the Countermeasures Office through Yoshikoji Temple to see if they can send someone to help.
Xiaolu himself can retreat a certain distance with his junior sister, leaving the little old man's body to continue to keep an eye on this treasure house.
Master said that when conditions permit, seeking help is always the right choice.
Master also said that there is no such thing as "making a fuss out of a molehill" when it comes to exorcism activities, especially those where the situation is unclear.
Kanoya listened to Kamiyagawa's words very much. She would do whatever her master asked her to do, and she would always keep her master's teachings in mind.
"I see."
After hearing her senior sister's solid plan, Tsurumi Aoi nodded.
She and Kanoya thought the same thing.
After all, they are all disciples brought out by a master.
Kamiyagawa’s education for his two apprentices has always been like this——
Before the inevitable head-on conflict with Kaidan, if there is time to prepare, then there is nothing wrong with being cautious.
Of course, Kamiya also hopes that both apprentices can grow up and be able to stand alone in the future.
Kanoya and Tsurumi each have their own talents. They will one day be fully fledged and cannot rely on their master forever.
As for themselves, they do not want to become a burden to their master.
But for now, the apprentices have too little practical experience in removing spirits.
Even Xiaolu, Xiaolu's paper strength is actually comparable to some of the elite spiritual masters in the countermeasures room. After all, among her shikigami, the strongest one, Sending Wolf, is currently in the middle or lower reaches of C.
But her experience is still not sufficient.
Not to mention Tsurumi.
Therefore, when Kamiyagawa teaches his two apprentices how to deal with emergencies, he always emphasizes that they should protect themselves first.
After all, only by surviving can we talk about growth.
And there will always be growth if you survive.
Kanoya temporarily recalled the three shikigami, leaving only the little old man's body in place, staring at the small wooden house standing like a tombstone on the dim path over there.
Then she and Tsurumi Aoi began to retreat.
Tsurumi took out his cell phone and was about to retreat some distance before calling his father.
But as soon as she took out her phone, she noticed something was wrong.
Her cell phone has no signal.
Although Yoshikoji Temple is located in a remote and unknown place, it is definitely not a wilderness where signals cannot be received. On the contrary, the communication around the temple is actually quite smooth.
Things are a little abnormal.
Just when Tsurumi was about to say something, Kanoya grabbed her wrist again.
The young senior sister pointed to the rear, where the wider road where the Summer Night Festival stalls were located.
I saw that the lively light strip had become a bit ethereal for some reason. It was obviously not far apart, but it was like being separated by a layer of frosted glass, so that I couldn't see what was going on there at all.
The originally clear long street made of bright lights, all the connected lights turned into blurry dots.
It's like a hole in the canvas made by sparks.
And the bustling sounds on the street seemed to be separated by an unknown distance at this time, and became difficult to hear.
On the contrary, it was the trees in front of me and the dim path where the treasure house was located. The darkness entrenched on it twisted towards the surroundings, like a scroll of splashed ink that quickly unfolded. Then the darkness became like brushstrokes.
, scrawled into abstract shapes, only the treasure house remains clear.
Facing such a strange scene, Tsurumi was a little at a loss for a moment. She couldn't understand what was happening now.
So, she turned her head and looked at the senior sister next to her who was much shorter than her.
Kanoya's expression didn't change much. She just quickly pulled out the [Shōtoku Imperial Incense Burner] from her bag and held it in her hand.
The copper chain was tumbling, and the surface of the small and heavy incense burner reflected the dim light. It fell and struck the ground, making a subtle and dull impact sound.
…
"Aba Aba...Aba whined..."
"...Okay, little grandpa. Okay, I understand."
Kanoya had a brief conversation with the little old man's clone for a while.
The content of the conversation was of course that the scout contacted Kamiya River who was still in Kyoto. Now Kamiya knew that the two apprentices had encountered an unexpected situation in Ibaraki Prefecture.
Just now, Kanoya and Tsurumi tried to explore the surroundings that had become extremely weird.
Not towards the Wanbao House, but towards the celebration street, towards those places that have turned into blurry points of light.
Those bright lights, as time goes by, give people a feeling of "getting closer", but they are completely out of reach.
Moreover, no matter which way you go, the treasure house with clear outline is always standing not far or near.
Xiao Lu knew that he and Xiao Kui were trapped now.
But such a strange environment did not make her feel excessively afraid.
Where is this?
No matter what, Xiaolu had only walked through Shuilizi's Songze Village once, and he had really seen a big scene.
Moreover, the strange place we are in now is far less than what Matsuzawa was in the past.
When he first fell into Matsuzawa, Xiaolu was lonely and couldn't even contact his master.
But now, although the communication on the mobile phone has failed, you can directly contact Kamiya through the little old man, and there are reliable shikigami and Tsurumi Aoi around you.
Moreover, in terms of strength alone, the current Kanoya is no longer the same as it was in the past.
Master said that if you fall into unavoidable trouble, you must not mess up your position. Keeping a clear head is one of the most important prerequisites for getting out of trouble and winning!
Xiaolu briefly cheered himself up, while Tsurumi beside him was also using the breath of Ah Hum to calm down his fluctuating mood.
Then, the two girls noticed at the same time that the light came on in the treasure house not far away.
The light was dim and peaceful, with an indescribable attraction amidst the abstract and distorted darkness around it.
Squeak——
The wooden door of the treasure house was pushed open from the inside, making a hard sound.
A man who looked like he might be in his fifties walked out.
The man's eyes have a brilliance that is rare for his age. He has a goatee, long hair, and his gray hair is tied up. Judging from the appearance alone, the whole person has a certain artistic temperament.
