An ancient shrine located at the highest point of the entire shrine.
Below it, there is a vast and vast shrine forest guarding it. Anyone who attempts to set foot here will only get lost in it and cannot escape.
At this moment, Fukuzawa Yukichi, who was responsible for leading the way, stopped in front of the shrine, turned sideways, and stretched out his hand to signal.
"Yakami Six Seats, please come in. Takeda Miyaji is already waiting for you inside."
"knew."
Yagami nodded slightly, then passed by Fukuzawa Yukichi and entered the shrine.
When he entered the temple, the door behind him closed again.
In the vast temple, twelve blazing firelights lit up one after another, dispersing the darkness in the temple and illuminating the pitch-black figure above it.
Looking at the old face that was exactly the same as in his memory, Ye Shenkong greeted him calmly.
"Long time no see, Captain Takeda."
"Or would it be more appropriate to call you the Golden Demon?"
"Oh, it's just a title, whatever you like."
In response to this, Takeda Hikari smiled kindly, and then walked down from the hall, feeling somewhat emotional.
"However, it's really beyond my expectation. I didn't expect that the first person to notice my identity would be you, Yagami Sora."
"The disguise I have worked so hard for so many years is actually seen through by a newcomer who has only joined the Yefu Thirteen Team for two months. Even I feel that I am losing face."
"It doesn't matter anyway. Even if I didn't notice Takeda Miyaji's identity, Takeda Miyaji has already made sufficient preparations, right?" Yagami Sora wrote lightly.
As if the other party had hit his mark, Takeda Hikari couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face and nodded in recognition.
"Yes, even if you are not aware of this, I will take the initiative to reveal my identity at the captain's meeting two days later."
"At that time, today's barrier will also be opened, and the Yefu Thirteen Team will still have to face my Shinto Twelve Palaces. This is inevitable."
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
"so what?"
Yagami raised his chin.
"So what?" Takeda Hikari was stunned.
"Why did you choose me? If you want to limit the strength of the Yafu Thirteen Team, Captain Otonashi should be a greater threat than me, right?" Yagami said with a shrug.
Takeda Hikaru spoke, his tone filled with a sense of indifference.
"Otonashi? Yes, her power is indeed a huge obstacle, but I have found a way to deal with her."
"However, only unstable unknown factors like you must be excluded. Only in this way can the entire plan be foolproof."
"Really? Is this what you really think?"
Ye Shenkong held his chin up, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
He immediately put down his hand and asked.
"So, what do you need me to do?"
"You don't have to do anything, just stay here."
Takeda Hikaru said kindly.
"But if you feel you can't take any time off, why not come and chat with a lonely old man?"
"Of course, I wonder what Takeda Miyaji plans to talk about?" Yagami Sora happily agreed.
"Haha, for an old man like me, there are not many interesting topics." Takeda Hikaru smiled.
He then looked at Xiang Ye Shenkong, his eyes suddenly showed some intriguing vicissitudes of life and emotion, and he spoke with profound meaning.
"Ye Shenkong, let me ask you, have you ever seen a god with your own eyes?"
However, to Hikaru Takeda's expectation, when faced with his question, Yagami Sora didn't even hesitate for a second and nodded directly.
"I've seen it."
After hearing the other party's answer, Takeda Hikari couldn't help but froze on the spot for a moment.
It took him a while to react, and he said with some shame.
"Wait a minute, the gods I am referring to are not the eight million gods that can be seen everywhere, but the more lofty gods who sit high in the sky..."
But contrary to Takeda Hikaru's expectation, Yagami Sora nodded again.
"I've seen it too."
His voice paused and he added kindly.
"Moreover, I have met more than one person."
"So, if Takeda Miyaji doesn't understand anything about gods, feel free to ask me, you're welcome."
After hearing the other party's words, Takeda Hikaru fell completely into silence this time, and did not make a sound for a long time.
After all, even though he is the number one person in Shintoism, he only has the experience of meeting gods in person once in his life.
But in front of him was this Ye Shen Kong, who was so accustomed to the attitude of gods.
It feels like those aloof gods go to his house to eat, bathe and sleep every day!
How could something so ridiculous happen?
Who is the priest?
Looking at Yagami Sora's handsome and sincere face in front of him, at this moment, Takeda Hikari's wrinkled eyes began to twitch obviously.
I feel like this day...
We can no longer talk anymore.
Sensing the change in the other person's expression, Yashenkong waved his hand in time to end the topic.
"If the palace secretary doesn't want to continue talking about this topic, then let's talk about something else."
His tone paused slightly, his eyes looked directly at Takeda Hikaru's eyes, and he asked with interest.
"Actually, I'm very curious, Takeda Miyaji, what is your purpose of doing this?"
"After all, you, who single-handedly created the Ye Fu Thirteenth Team, have no reason to join the Fujin Clan, right?"
After hearing this, Takeda Hikaru's stiff expression finally softened a bit, and he took a deep breath and said.
"Want to know my purpose? I can tell you something. After all, this is not something that needs to be concealed."
"But before that, Ye Shenzong, let's have a bet. If you win, I will tell you everything. On the contrary, you will tell me everything about you. How about it?
"
Ya Shenkong nodded without thinking.
"No problem, what's the content of the bet?"
"Winning or losing."
Takeda Hikaru slowly spoke.
He spread his arms, and the twelve flames illuminating the temple seemed to have received some kind of summons. They suddenly jumped to a height of nearly half a meter and burned fiercely.
Under the dancing firelight, Takeda Hikaru's shadow was stretched to an extremely long length, mixed with the darkness on the wall behind him and swaying, like a demon in desperate need of resurrection.
"Let's bet on which side can win between the Yefu Thirteenth Team and the Shinto Twelve Palaces."
...
The twelfth house of Shinto, the tenth house.
Inside the barrier, Igarashi Liuguang looked up at the towering black shrine in front of him, adjusted the goggles on his forehead, and snorted disdainfully.
With his cloak fluttering, he walked in without hesitation.
In the shrine, there was already a figure wearing a high hat and hunting clothes waiting there.
At this moment, Abe Seimei looked at the young man in front of him, narrowed his eyes, and coldly announced his identity.
"Captain of the 10th Division, Igarashi Ryukou."
Igarashi folded his arms, raised his head, and looked at Abe Seimei with his chin proudly.
"Huh? Now that you know my name in this life, it seems that you are planning to surrender directly, right?"
"surrender?"
Abe Seimei sneered.
"I think you are the one who surrendered, right? You are so unlucky that you chose the shrine guarded by me, Abe Seimei, among the twelve Shinto shrines."
Three spells appeared in his hand and he said contemptuously.
"To defeat an opponent like you, I only need three moves."
Abe Seimei?
The Great Onmyoji?
The moment he learned the other party's identity, even Igarashi's eyes couldn't help but tremble.
Even so, he still didn't show any weakness at all and fought back fiercely.
"This should be the one who said this, right? You are really unlucky. Your opponent is actually the strongest captain among the Yefu Thirteenth Team. If I were you, I would have already started running away with all my strength."
"The strongest captain?"
Abe Seimei was startled when he heard this, and his expression immediately became a little strange.
"Wait a minute, are you referring to yourself?"
"Why, you just know my name, but don't you know my strength?" Igarashi Liuguang raised his chin even higher.
"It's because you know it so well that I don't understand why you have the guts to say such things."
"After all, we know all the information about you."
Abe Seimei took out a stack of paper from his sleeve, turned to a certain page and began to read aloud.
"Ryuu Igarashi, fourteen years old, 1.5 meters tall. His idol he admires the most is Otonashi Cheyuki, captain of the fifth division. His biggest hobby is collecting magical girl anime CDs..."
Hearing this, Igarashi Liuguang was stunned.
Then, as if someone had revealed his secret, his whole face turned red and he subconsciously retorted.
"Nonsense, how could I possibly admire that kind of cruel old woman!"
"In other words, everything is true except for this point?"
Abe Seimei deliberately shook the paper in his hand, making a clattering sound.
"This, this-"
Igarashi Liuguang couldn't help being speechless for a moment.
Good opportunity!
The moment he noticed that the other party was distracted, Abe Seimei suddenly had a bright light in his eyes, raised his palm high, slapped it downwards, and said sternly.
"Yan Ling, Star Hunter!"
In an instant, a strange light suddenly burst out in the darkness at Igarashi's feet.
At this moment, the charms that had been placed there were inspired by Abe Seimei's spiritual power, and they lit up one after another, like stars blooming in the dark night.
The next moment, the starlight suddenly expanded, and the flames of the explosion rose into the sky, swallowing up the stunned Igarashi Liuguang like a giant flaming beast.
boom!
!
The violent sound caused by the explosion shook the entire shrine.
In the turbulence that erupted with the roar, the goggles worn by Igarashi fell to the ground. The lenses touched the ground and shattered into pieces of crystal.
Looking at the charred body emitting white smoke in the deep pit, Abe Seimei's eyes flashed with a hint of pride at a successful sneak attack, and he immediately walked towards the pit.
The next moment, his penis suddenly enlarged a bit.
Because when he saw Igarashi Liuguang, who should have been a corpse, his fingers suddenly trembled.
Immediately afterwards, the charred blackness on his body turned into debris and fell off, revealing the intact body underneath.
Under Abe Seimei's shocked gaze, the next moment, Igarashi stood up from the pit with bared teeth and punched him angrily.
"It hurts so much, you bastard, you dare to sneak attack, do you want to make me angry?"
"No matter what you say this time, I will never forgive you. Next, prepare to accept the dark judgment sent down by the Demonic Dragon Envoy of the End!"
While speaking, Igarashi Liuguang stretched out his hand and covered his right eye.
When he raised his hand again, a strange green light flickered in it.
Looking at Abe Seimei in front of him, he whispered.
"The green lights speak, and the ghosts turn hundreds of times."
