After a heavy snow, the weather cleared for two days.
As the new week begins, the wind and snow cover the Kinki area again. Although the power is not as powerful as before, it also makes the snow that has not yet completely melted before accumulate again.
A few days passed, and everywhere I went, it was covered in white, which made Zong Gu vaguely feel like he was back in the Northeast.
Fortunately, although the snow melts slowly, it does not have a big impact on rail transit, at least it is not a problem to go to school and go home.
Walking against the wind and snow, the last week of the second semester passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the final day of graduation ceremony was approaching.
Akane Kirino was very happy early in the morning, with her steps light and humming like "Vacation~Vacation~", but she became extremely honest as soon as she went out, and she could take three steps to get out of one meter away.
There was nothing else, just because she fell hard on the melting and frozen snow two days ago.
"There is no need to be so careful... If you don't hurry up, you will miss the tram."
"My butt is still hurting."
"You walk well, just don't jump, you won't fall."
"You carry me."
"Then you fall again, you will be your face."
Akane Kirino thought about it over and over again, but he didn't let him carry it on his back and his pace also accelerated.
When we arrived at the platform, the tram also entered the station, neither too early nor too late.
"Hmph, that's just right."
After going around, when I arrived at school, most of the students in the classroom were not talking about the next graduation ceremony, but about the Christmas party at night.
"What is the party special? Don't keep it aside, talk about it quickly!"
"Don't worry, it's not the time. You'll know it tonight."
"Can you behaved on stage to perform "I Love Sister"."
"It's useless to tell you good people who don't understand your sister."
"...I said Kinoshita, your thoughts are getting more and more dangerous, do you know?"
"Shut up."
Soya put down his schoolbag, Fumimi waved to him on the other side and asked him to go over.
"The second semester is finally over."
"yes."
"After the graduation ceremony, go and celebrate." Fukami said, "I will play until four or five o'clock in the afternoon and go directly to the Kinoshita family to attend the party."
“To karaoke again?”
"Does Soya have a better idea?"
"go home."
I chatted and it was not until Shibasaki Makoto came to call me, and the classroom was a little quieter.
After all, it was the last day, and Noma Nan came over, standing by the window and yawned. Soya looked at her for a few glances, and couldn't help but yawn.
“…”
Chao Wuling immediately looked back at him.
"I didn't want to sleep." Soya smiled at her and signaled her to rest assured.
After looking at him for a while, she turned around.
On the podium, Shibasaki Makoto also started the last call of the semester.
"Zonggu."
"arrive."
"Chaowu."
“…”
He lowered his head to Wuling without responding. Zong Gu responded for her, "Here you come."
After clicking the name, the teacher gave a few more words, and a notice rang out on the radio.
"Okay, go to the auditorium to attend the graduation ceremony first."
When he came to the auditorium, he stood in line and Akane Kirino waved to him in the team next to him.
Soon, the old principal, who could only meet in a semester, walked to the stage with a cane, and two students were following behind him.
"That's the president and vice president of the student union..."
Fushimi knew the two people, "What are you doing? Are you worried that the old man will fall suddenly?"
Zong Gu glanced at him, "You can't think of something good."
"I just said casually. I still like this old man who doesn't like nonsense... Well, what is that."
He squinted his eyes and looked up, and Zong Gu also noticed something in his hands.
The principal walked forward two steps, approached the microphone, and quieted down in the venue, waiting for him to speak.
Dear, dear.
He knocked on the crutch, and the two students behind him spread out their things in their hands and raised them high, which was a calligraphy work.
【Spring Breeze Willow Returns】
"'Spring Breeze Returns to the Willows'...what does it mean?" Fumimi was a little confused.
"It seems to be Li Bai's poem." Zong Gu whispered.
Dear, dear.
The principal knocked on the crutch again and came to the microphone: "Welcome the New Year and the New Year in the wind and snow!"
After saying that, he turned around.
"……it's over?"
"Is it over?"
The director of the teaching department rushed to the stage at this time, "The graduation ceremony ends here!"
“Oh——”
The graduation ceremony ends here.
When he returned to the classroom, Shibasaki Makoto explained some things and finally said:
"I heard that Kinoshita organized a Christmas party at his home, although I didn't invite me. The weather is like this, don't play too much. If you can't go home early, remember to contact your family. Although I didn't invite me,
But... although I was not invited, but..."
Soya looked at Kinoshita Kazushita who was sweating on his forehead, thinking that he was worthy of being the chairman. Such an obvious hint could be forced to be ignored, but he just kept nodding and responding.
After all, although he is very easy-going as a teacher, he is still a little far from his students.
"Although I was not invited..."
"——Then Acheng is here too." A student on the other side of the classroom couldn't help but interrupt his endless complaints.
Shibazaki Makoto sighed, as if he was satisfied in some respect, and then shook his head.
"This is your party, I won't go... Don't roll your eyes. In short, everyone should be careful. That's it."
It's finally over...
Soya got up and stretched, shook his head at Fushimi who was looking at him.
He waved his hand and left with several other boys.
"Let's go back too." Sogo said to Hongzi.
"OK."
He called Akane Kirino and left school. Several people met Kyoko at the station who was also preparing to go home.
Most of the time, she is still alone.
"I'm going to attend a Christmas party organized by my classmates in my class tonight. I'll come over a little later in Otsu."
Kyoko nodded, "Okay."
Zong Gu brushed away the snowflakes falling on her long hair, "Are you going to sleep with the club office at night?"
"Um."
"Then I'll bring some food here."
"Take less, I can't eat too much."
"The night is growing."
"Then whatever you want..."
After a while, the tram entered the station.
When he got home, Yuedu came down from the building and asked him to go up with him.
Putting down his schoolbag, Zong Gu went upstairs and walked into the innermost room on the second floor, and lay down skillfully.
"What are you doing?" Yue Du looked at him.
"Ah, isn't it time to lie down yet?" Zonggu sat up.
"When I finish talking..."
Zonggu lay down again, "Tell me, I'll listen."
"Don't fall asleep."
“No.”
Yue Du looked at him, "You are so weak that you can't control this yourself."
"Not so exaggerated." Soya sat up, "Please tell me if you are Lord Yuedu."
"It's not been a few days, so I have to take some radical measures now."
"for example?"
He raised his hand and a five-yuan coin floated up, "Let it enter your body and try to connect directly to the power of the Eight Thunder Gods without passing through you."
The five-yuan divine power network set up by the Orange Emperor covers the country and connects it. Then, using the ability of the True Sutra Mirror to sense the traces of the Great Thunder, is the best way that Yue Du can think of, and the previous few attempts have been made by
The two were rejected and ended.
In order to solve this problem, he risked his life to open the boundaries of the two realms and proposed a solution to the Orange Emperor who was parading the Yellow Springs, that is, let the Divine Power Network accept the Eight Thunder God Power on Zong Gu.
And Emperor Ju told him a completely different answer.
"Exclusion? It seems that you don't understand yet. It's not that the divine power net is repelling, but that Fang Ming's body cannot bear my divine power. The impact you are suffering is actually the close-in-complete Eight Thunder God Power in Fang Ming's body that is stopping my divine power
Enter, protecting his current body.”
In this case, Yuedu could only give up the idea of connecting to the Divine Power Network through Zonggu and instead think about other ways.
But the great thunder was hidden, and even the Creator Mother God could not find his trace, let alone him who has been sleeping until now.
After thinking about it, Yuedu still returned to the old path of using the Divine Power Network.
"When entering my body... how do you enter the Dharma?" Zong Gu asked.
Yue Du's thoughts moved, and the spiritual shield of the eight-foot Qiong Gouyu in his body was turned off, and the black willow leaf-shaped mark appeared.
"Enter from here." He pointed to the mark on his left and right arms and said, "Embed the coin in it and explore the path that does not directly connect to the Divine Power Network through you."
“…”
coin.
Embed.
His body.
Just imagine, Zong Gu felt extremely painful.
If it is just pain and cannot make him retreat, what really makes him feel unreliable is what Yue Du calls "exploration".
"In other words, what should I do? Master Yuedu is not sure yet. I will stuff the coin into my body first?"
"It's almost the same."
"What are the chances of success?"
"Half."
“…”
Either succeed or fail, he knew very well that Yuedu calculated the so-called half success rate in this way.
"It won't die."
This is what he said the most and the only thing he can guarantee.
"Don't hesitate, you have no time anymore."
The hollow coin was floating and spinning in Yue Du's palm, "With my current divine power, if I don't fight her head on, and just run away, it would be almost impossible for her to kill me. I would be killed at the beginning because I was unprepared...
…Anyway, everything I do now is to save you.”
Zong Gu looked at him for a while, and didn't know whether he should be happy about his rare sense of responsibility. "Because I can't kill Lord Yuedu, will the teacher kill me to vent his anger?"
"...You will understand sooner or later, and now you'll take it as such."
Looking at the sky, he could only agree. For the final success, this is the price he must pay now and the only thing he can do.
"The coins will be taken out."
"certainly."
"How long will it last in my body?"
"Until I found the big thunder. But the pain is only a matter of a while and will not last for too long."
"Then let's do it...well!"
Yue Du started his hand much more decisive than Soya expected. Without any preparation, a five-yuan coin was embedded directly into the willow leaf-shaped mark on his left arm, bursting with blood.
"Don't touch...bone...ah..."
The sudden and severe pain made Zong Gu grit his teeth and squeeze out a half-in-one sentence from his throat.
Yue Du glanced at him and his thoughts moved again.
Puchi!
Another coin was embedded in his right arm.
"ah!"
Thumb-
Akane Kirino who had just arrived upstairs heard the scream and immediately accelerated her pace and headed straight to the innermost room.
When he opened the door, Zong Gu seemed to be tied to an invisible cross, his arms spread out and his head lowered, while the uniform on his chest was stained with blood.
"Zonggu!"
"I won't die." Yue Du didn't look at her and threw the last coin into his right leg.
Puchi!
"Um!"
Zong Gu groaned and groaned after a while.
"I'm fine...it's over."
The first half of the sentence is said to Akane Kirino, while the second half is thrown into Yueyu.
"What you're going to do is over."
Akane Kirino pounced on him and untied the uniform of Soya's chest, but found that there was no wound in the black mark that was flowing out of the blood.
"There is a hard...bone?...no, is it that coin?"
"Well, I've already made the wound heal." said Tsukiyu, "How do you feel?"
With a wave of his hand, Zong Gu's body regained his freedom and fell to the ground all of a sudden.
"Songya!" Akane Kirito hurriedly went to help.
"It doesn't matter..."
The strongest pain had passed. Zong Gu sat on the ground for a while, raised his hand and touched the parts embedded in the coins.
"I feel my muscles are a little sore. Speaking of which, have you sterilized these coins?"
“…”
Tsukiyu glanced to the side, "It's been disinfected."
It must have been sterilized, it would be strange if he could think of disinfection.
Zong Gu closed his eyes, but it was too late to regret it now.
"It's okay, it won't die."
"If you have disabled limbs, you might as well die."
"As long as you can find the big thunder, it will be fine if your head is broken." Yue Du said.
It would be useless to say more, and Zong Gu no longer had to worry about what had happened, "Then what am I going to do now?"
"What should be done, what should be done, the next thing has nothing to do with you."
Yue Du pointed to his body, "Seven 'outlets' have penetrated into your body. No matter where you go, they are connected to the divine power net and do not need to stay here."
“…”
It probably means that seven antennas were inserted into his body, Zong Gu thought.
With the help of Akane Kirino, he stood up.
The seven coins embedded in the body had neither strong nor weak presence. After standing for a while, he took the first step.
Fortunately, the movement is not hindered, and the body seems to adapt quickly.
But no matter whether he adapts or not, he doesn't want these coins to stay in his body for too long.
"It's okay." He motioned Akane Kirino to let go, and then took a few more steps.
Seeing him walking normally, she breathed a sigh of relief.
With her eyes falling on the large bloodstains on his chest, she complained to Yue Du again: "Can't you take off his clothes first? They are all covered in blood... and they are even torn."
The coins were directly penetrated into Zong Gu's body, and except for the sleeves that were rolled up in advance, they were penetrated everywhere.
"I'll pay attention to it next time..."
Sonoya only hopes that there will be no next time.
When he went downstairs to change his clothes and took a shower, he suddenly saw that he was covered in blood, and Hongzi screamed a few times.
Chao Wuling came over and touched his chest, looked at him for a while, "Does it hurt?"
"Now I don't feel anything."
She sighed, "Hope will be useful."
"Believe in Lord Yuedu."
"Um."
Zong Gu went to take a shower.
Soaking in hot water, he opened his eyes again, looked at him at the bathtub at Wuling.
"Am I asleep again?"
"Um."
“How long has it been?”
"One hour."
"It seems that we should really be more restrained..."
Chao Wuling remained silent.
Zong Gu pinched his fists and found that after more than an hour of sleep, his body completely accepted the seven coins, and now he basically couldn't feel them.
"It's okay." He comforted her, "I'll get up now."
Nodded at Wuling, turned around and left the bathroom.
Is it because I have done too much with them recently and my body cannot bear it, so I feel sleepy at any time, or is it because of the power of the underworld?
Zong Gu thought while wiping his body.
Walking out of the bathroom, he stood in front of the mirror and looked at the seven willow leaf-shaped marks on his body were dazzlingly black, but there was no wound.
"Zonggu, you have washed it... why did you come out without wearing clothes!"
After looking at the red jealous, Zong Gu pointed to the divine power mark on his right arm, "Can you see this by picking off the amulet?"
She took off the amulet, "Hey, this is... visible."
"Put it on." Although there is no daughter of the underworld in Kinki, Soya doesn't want to take risks either.
Hongzi came over and touched his arm, "What was that just now."
“Seven keys to save the world.”
"What... you put on your clothes first."
"Um."
Zong Gu went in and put on his clothes. Hongzi looked at the bloody uniforms in the dirty laundry basket, "Do you still need to wash it? There are big holes."
"Wash the blood and then deal with it, otherwise you will throw it away if you are seen, and it may cause some strange rumors... You have to customize a new uniform."
"Uh-huh."
After taking a shower, nothing happened during the day.
Several people were crowded in the quilt and watched TV. Zong Gu occasionally went upstairs to see the progress of Yuedu's research. Occasionally Yuedu would take the initiative to observe his reaction.
"I just transmitted a trace of divine power. Do you feel it?"
"No."
“Isn’t it enough…”
"Then try it a little more."
So Yuedu added a little more transmission of divine power.
winter!
Zong Gu Meng smashed the tatami, clenched his fists, and looked painful: "Do you want to kill me..."
"Sorry!... Well, you will feel that this path is still wrong."
Yuedu went up again, and Liuzogu continued to hold his head and moan.
The weather is short in winter and the weather is not good. By three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky gradually becomes darker.
"Prepare it, it's time to go out for a Christmas party."
"It's still early now."
"I have to change my clothes."
Akane Kirino and Hongko went home to change their clothes for the party. Soya thought about it and still reminded Tsukido.
"At least, wait until I come back, and then try your extreme thoughts."
Yue Du agreed in one go.
The two people who were waiting to change their clothes came over and waited for nearly half an hour.
"It's been too long to change clothes."
"Everyone must be wearing casual clothes, so you have to choose it."
Akane Kirino came over and hugged his arm, "Hongko and I haven't put on makeup yet, please be content."
