Chapter 554 Low-Profile Version of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons

Kanda Shrine.

Because of the incident between King Kozei and Taira Masakado, this shrine has not been open to the public recently.

The garrison led by Kamiyagawa has moved in.

The remains of Taira Masakado's head in Kanda Shrine are still sealed under the Nuo formation here.

The Countermeasures Office has no plans to remove the seal and try to destroy the head of Masakado.

Let alone whether the remains that have been preserved for a thousand years are likely to be destroyed, the concerns mentioned by Onitsuka Kirihotaru before are not unreasonable-

What if the seal is removed and Masakado's head flies away from Tokyo to join other parts of his body...

Wouldn't that be helping King Kozei?

Masakado's head flew from Kyoto to Tokyo a thousand years ago. Therefore, it is hard to say whether this kind of thing will happen again.

However, in order to prevent Taira Masakado from resurrecting, the Countermeasures Office dispatched Kamiyagawa and Zuxia Fashi to guard Kanda Shrine and Sanjurokugen-do respectively.

These two are both big names in the current spirit-exorcism world, and we can't let them stay in the same place indefinitely.

We can only hope that the investigation of King Xingshi by Jiecheng Zhenjianyou and the people of the Juqing Shrine can make some useful progress soon.

…

The third day of Kamiya River's stay at Kanda Shrine.

It was night.

In a guest room in the backyard of the shrine.

This room belongs to Kannoya.

No one in the countermeasures room objects to the fact that the ghost and god disciples want to bring their apprentices to stay in Kanda Shrine.

It is a normal configuration for the master to bring his apprentices to the spirit-exorcism industry when going out on missions.

Xiaolu is sitting in the room, and a small incense burner beside him is emitting curling smoke.

This set of incense is called "Dingwai", which is a mixture of agarwood, camphor, and dendrobium, and there is no special extraordinary power.

Buddhism talks about precepts, concentration, and wisdom. When meditating and practicing Zen, entering into concentration is one of the most extraordinary states, and sitting quietly is the beginning of entering concentration, and there is often an incense to accompany it.

In addition to mastering the art of incense, Xiaolu has also been learning Buddhism.

Generally, when she is learning the theoretical knowledge of several exorcism techniques, she likes to light a stove of Dingwai incense.

It can calm the mind and make the head clear.

"Heaven, earth, people, gods and ghosts, scales, feathers and birds... turn yin into yang, turn yang into yin - ah, the spirit control technique that Master gave me is all in Chinese characters, it seems so difficult to master. Although Master said that I have started to get started with the spirit control technique, I still feel that I am not getting the point."

After studying for a while, Xiaolu scratched her head. She pushed the string of bodhi beads tied on her left wrist to her palm and gently slid the bodhi beads one by one.

This string of beads was a gift from Teacher Kanazawa after she came back from Matsuzawa.

Wearing it on the body also has the effect of calming the mind.

However, the current rosary should be called [Bodhi Rosary·Modified] to be more precise.

Because Shen Gu once brought it into the world of the living and commissioned Sister Jue to upgrade and transform it.

Specifically, a small statue made of Shoutong is embedded between every three white jade bodhi beads.

The Shoutong statue is round in shape, not much bigger than the rosary, and the carving is exquisite. It looks very good when embedded between the bodhi beads.

These statues are used for the Shikigami of Shikanoya to live in.

Although the effect is far inferior to the Shikigami statues used by Kamiya Kawa himself, for example, the ghost story entering this Shoutong statue does not have any bonus to the recovery state, nor can it help to fully absorb the candlelight of the soul-soothing candle.

It is just a foothold.

Shoutong is a very powerful spiritual metal material that can accept ghost stories at the level of wild gods.

However, Xiaolu has not yet fully touched the threshold of the simplified version of exorcism, and it is still too early to contract the wild gods.

She has not even successfully contracted Songlang, who is at the upper level of D level.

Both Songlang and Malu are just voluntarily following Xiaolu.

And three days ago, Songlang and Malu were also sent to Changshi Paradise by Kamiya.

Kamiya had never expected his apprentice's young team of shikigami to play any role in guarding Kanda Shrine. He brought Xiaolu with him purely to protect her.

If there was any problem, he would let Tengu pull her into the Ikki-dashi space.

So it was enough for Yasakana to stay with her on weekdays.

"When yin and yang are in harmony, everything grows. Without worries in the heart - no, no... I feel like I still need to listen to Master's explanation again."

Xiaolu had encountered some difficulties in self-study, and she wanted to find Master.

She wanted to see Master demonstrate again how to coordinate the mind method and mobilize the spirit energy on her body.

Kamiya's room was next door.

The distance between the master and the apprentice was only a thin wall, so they could hear each other's movements as long as the sound was slightly louder.

Creaky -

The wooden door of the guest room was pushed open.

Xiaolu stepped over the threshold and came to the corridor outside.

It was actually just after 8 o'clock in the evening, but the yard was very dark. The moonlight was like a cold dagger, only thinly cutting a corner of the night, and the courtyard was looming in this pale light. The night wind blew quietly, bringing a hint of coldness.

The grass and trees in the courtyard trembled slightly, as if they could not bear the oppression of the silence. They looked beautiful during the day, but when they were shrouded in the night, the shadows of the grass and trees swayed in the moonlight, and the fallen leaves on the ground were startled by the night wind and began to roll and wriggle, as if they were headless flies, struggling blindly in the dark.

"Is there something wrong?"

The deer who had just walked out of the door thought so.

She took a deep breath, and her small nose twitched slightly.

It was indeed wrong.

Luyewu 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 or even concepts that originally have no smell can smell the corresponding "smell" as long as the deer calms down.

Although it is not as sharp as the master's skills, it is enough for her at this stage.

The "smell" of the night was supposed to smell like a light clove scent.

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, Kanoya can already see sudden strange phenomena with the naked eye——

There was blue-black mist, hazily sweeping in from the air outside the shrine, rolling on the ground like clouds.

The clouds quickly approached and enveloped the Kanda Shrine, with a faint 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 "horse head" with a slender neck and head floating back and forth in the air, and the "long breast" with strange and unspeakable organs hanging all over its body Po"...

Some of the strange stories that appeared in the mist 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 at 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. , lungs, intestines...

Wow!

Kanoya's right hand shook, and the body of the [Shōtoku Royal Incense Burner] fell to the ground, while the copper chain was held in her hand.

She didn't seem to be afraid when faced with the sudden attack of hundreds of ghosts on the night.

In fact... for Xiaolu, except for the disgustingness of holding bloody human organs in these strange stories, that's all.

After all, Kanoya had practiced once in Matsuzawa.

Moreover, the pressure given to her by the group of ghosts in front of her was not strong, not even comparable to the usual team building at home.

There are so many wild gods under the master, doesn't Xiaolu still chat and laugh with everyone?

Because he has seen what the aura of a strong man should look like, Kanoya's judgment on Kaitan's strength is relatively accurate.

These monsters and ghosts in front of me are far different from "family members". Not to mention the mistresses and the big dog, it feels like even the little crayon Cai Zhi here can rush in and out of the mist.

call.

A piece of "Autumn Leaf Incense" was sprinkled on the imperial incense burner by Lu Yewu, and the chilling atmosphere spread from the copper burner.

Then quickly pinch an "outer lion seal" to strengthen your physical fitness.

Xiaolu's figure flashed, and the delicate but heavy incense burner drew a huge arc in the air. It accelerated and flew out in an instant, piercing the air like lightning, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and hit the long breast closest to her. Po.

The chilling aura of "Autumn Leaf Fragrance" is like a golden sword, which can unexpectedly reduce the enemy's mobility and judgment.

There was a muffled sound of metal colliding with flesh.

Before the long-nanny had time to react, she fell straight to the ground, and the copper stove smashed her head.

"It seems that Asaki-sama and I learned the Ogusa-ryu Scythe Technique quite well, too?"

Kanoya's right hand flicked flexibly, and the incense burner that hit the target was quickly pulled back.

At the same time, a Glock pistol had been pulled out of her left hand.

A compact black firearm with pink paint embellishments.

Relying on the touch of target practice, Kanoya aimed at a strange figure in the blue-gray mist.

"Om Panzal Sa Duo Hum..."

The mantra slipped out from the little deer's teeth one byte at a time, clearly and calmly.

After reciting the last byte of the mantra, the Glock pistol case in her hand sensed something, and the golden light flashed slightly...

It's a pity that Xiaolu didn't have time to fire the shot.

Because in the flash of lightning, a tall figure stood in front of her.

The white skirt swayed, looking plump and graceful under the moonlight.

Pffffffffffft.

Behind the eight-foot girl and under her skirt, white tentacles wrapped in transparent mucosa wriggled to the ground.

At about the same time, the door of Kamiya's guest room, which was only five or six meters away from Luye House, was blown open by a strong wind with a "clang".

A ray of emerald green color and a dazzling thunder gun bursting with lightning swept out from it!

The moment the thunder exploded, the deer saw the Karasu Tengu flying towards him with its back wings flapping...

…

"Well……"

Because the thunder was dazzling just now, there was only a white light left in Xiaolu's field of vision.

Wait until you finally recover.

She looked around and saw that it was still the backyard of the guest room of Kanda Shrine.

However, the night-walking Hundred Demons, Master Bachiku, and Master are not here.

Only the Karasu Tengu folded the wings on its back and stood silently beside the banner embroidered with the word "source".

The cool moonlight fell on the wild divine pattern mask on his face, glowing slightly.

All right.

It seems that he has entered the special space of Karatengu.

"If you give me one more second, just one second, the shot I just made will definitely hit." Xiaolu flattened his mouth and packed up his props.

"I'm sorry. Miss Kanoya, but this is the master's order."

"I got it."

Master’s arrangement is the greatest.

Xiao Lu knew that Master took her with him mainly to protect her at all times.

If you overestimate your capabilities and want to cause trouble willfully, you would be very sorry to Master.

"However, those weird stories just now don't feel strong. Didn't you say that this time is likely to be a big event? It's strange."

Kanoya is not worried at all about the situation in Kamiya outside.

That kind of low-profile Hyakki Yakou, Master and Hachisha-sama can definitely handle it with their eyes closed.

After packing her belongings, she sat down in the corridor and began to think about her performance in the unexpected situation.

It seems, not bad!

"Hehe. It seems that I am growing well, and the hard work of studying is not in vain."

But, when can I try to truly get rid of the spirit?

"It feels like Master's excessive protectiveness... that day may still be far away."

…

Outside the side hall of the shrine where the Nuo formation is sealed.

The last four-armed demon was easily chopped down by Kamiya using Ichimonji, which contained lightning.

"Looking good."

The bluish-gray mist began to dissipate as the strange talk was cured.

Inugami was already picking at the corpse of Kaidan that had not dissipated in the shrine and started to eat it.

However, this level of weird stories is not even enough for today’s dogs to stuff between their teeth, that is, it is just a snack to eat for entertainment.

"Master!"

After the matter was resolved, Kanoya and Karasutengu also left the Ikkidaka space.

The young apprentice rushed back to his master and saw him wiping the blood on the blade of Ichimonji and turning over a beautiful wrist flower with one hand.

Then he held the knife in one hand and the scabbard in the other, both of them raised to his back shoulder, with the back of the knife close to his neck.

One push.

With a clang, the words were put into the scabbard.

The handsome man put the knife behind his back.

"Tsk."

Hannya on the side looked helplessly at Kamiyakawa's gorgeous but unnecessary "settlement action" and snorted slightly.

Isn’t it because tonight’s enemy is vulnerable?

It was installed for him.

But the smiling Yashiko girl and the starry-eyed Kanoya seem to like this.

And not only them, the other spirit slayers who had just been fighting Kaitan together also began to gather around Kamiya.

It looks like they are going to talk about something.

Speaking of which, Prajna also found it strange.

For an attack of this magnitude tonight, even if Kamiyagawa is not here and some elite spiritualists are guarding here, there will be no problem with the Nuo formation that suppresses Ping Shomon's head.

Is that what King Xingshi is only at this level?

Two friends got married on National Day and were traveling everywhere, but the road was still jammed. Will add another chapter later.
