Chapter 61 Peach Blossom Spring

Qi Xuansu did not rashly contact this Onmyoji of the Tsuchimikado school. This place was too strange, and this Onmyoji was unusual all over. Who knew if this only "surviving" Onmyoji would be a trap.

"Xiao Yin, is this Onmyoji a human or a ghost?" Qi Xuansu asked.

Xiao Yin took a look and said, "It's a human."

Although Qi Xuansu and Xiao Yin were roughly on par in terms of strength, they each had their own strengths. Xiao Yin's perception ability was far better than Qi Xuansu's, and he was particularly sensitive to Yin Qi. On this point, he was almost not wrong.

Qi Xuansu then stepped forward and asked in a calm voice, "Who are you?"

The Onmyoji who had been wandering around suddenly stopped, turned his head woodenly, and looked at Qi Xuansu, "I am Tsuchimikado Tadayoshi."

His voice was emotionless, not cold and ruthless, but like the sound of a machine, without the slightest ups and downs.

Qi Xuansu asked again: "What are you doing here?"

Tsuchimikado Tadataka continued to answer woodenly: "We obeyed the order of the Prime Minister's Office and went to Suzuka Mountain to meet Suzuka Gozen."

"Did you see Suzuka Gozen?" Qi Xuansu asked again.

According to the Onmyoji of Tsuchimikado who returned to the camp, although they arrived at Suzuka Mountain, they did not see Suzuka Gozen, and they encountered an ambush by the shrine on the way back, with heavy casualties. Now it seems that the words of Onmyoji of Tsuchimikado are mostly untrue and reserved. They did not mention that there was another Onmyoji of Tsuchimikado who was left in Suzuka Mountain, let alone the strange scene of Suzuka Mountain.

Why did they conceal the strange scene of Suzuka Mountain? Could it be that the current appearance of Suzuka Mountain is related to the Onmyoji of Tsuchimikado? If so, it makes sense that the Onmyoji of Tsuchimikado deliberately concealed some facts in order to cover up his sins.

Tsuchimikado Tadataka looked up at the height of Mount Suzuka, his tone no longer wooden, but a bit confused: "We didn't see Suzuka Gozen, we failed the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"We, who are these we?" Qi Xuansu looked around again, trying to find the second living person.

Tsuchimikado Tadataka was silent.

Qi Xuansu continued to ask: "Where are your companions? Did they die somewhere? Or have they left but left you here?"

Tsuchimikado Tadataka suddenly hugged his head with both hands, bent down, and his expression became hideous and distorted: "We...they...we met, met..."

Qi Xuansu also bent down and asked: "What did you encounter?"

The next moment, Tsuchimikado Tadataka suddenly raised his head, his eyes were red, saliva kept dripping from the corners of his mouth, and his nails quickly grew longer, dark and deep.

Xiao Yin's voice sounded at the right time: "He is going to turn from a human into a ghost now."

Qi Xuansu cursed.

This land is really evil, turning people into ghosts at any time. It is simply a place hated by heaven and a country of ghosts.

Xiao Yin opened her mouth again, all the way to her ears, revealing a mouthful of white fangs, and was about to bite off Tsuchimikado Tadataka's head.

"This ghost thing has an unknown origin, don't eat it carelessly, if you get sick, I can't save you." Qi Xuansu immediately stopped her.

Xiao Yin then closed her mouth reluctantly.

At this moment, Tsuchimikado Tadataka had completely lost his mind and rushed towards Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu was not polite either, and split him in half with a sword.

The left half fell to the left, and the right half fell to the right, with strands of mucus entangled between the two, a bit like the pulling of sweet potato.

Xiao Yin probably also remembered this delicacy, smacked his lips, and was not happy.

Qi Xuansu looked around for the third time, and suddenly felt that the surrounding scene was somewhat familiar: "Xiao Yin, do you think this place is very similar to the ruins outside?"

Xiao Yin heard Qi Xuansu's words, and also looked around like him, nodded and said: "Hearing what you said, it is really exactly the same. The only difference is that the villages and towns outside have been destroyed, and the villages and towns inside are still well preserved."

Qi Xuansu frowned and said: "Is it a mirror? Or an illusion?"

Xiao Yin shook his head and said: "It's hard to say."

Qi Xuansu looked at the body of Tsuchimikado Tadashi: "Where did the residents here go? Why was this Tsuchimikado Tadashi left here alone? I have a feeling that the strange phenomenon here is related to Tsuchimikado's Yin Yang Master."

Xiao Yin did not speak.

She has a wide range of knowledge, because Mr. Yin taught well, and she can be regarded as reading thousands of books. However, she rarely goes out and has not traveled thousands of miles, so she has great limitations. She does not know Fenglinzhou very well, at least not more than Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu looked up at the sky and suggested, "Let's fly up and have a look?"

"Okay." Xiao Yin was never afraid of taking risks because he could be reborn from the "Emperor Willow".

The two of them took off into the air and flew towards the direction that Tsuchimikado Tadayoshi had just looked at.

At the same time, colorful lights began to emerge on the sky, not like clouds, but more like Western oil paintings, and even a bit of oily feeling.

Qi Xuansu felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, and he directly used his Dharma body. Under the wrapping of divine power, he felt a little relieved.

Xiao Yin's face also became serious, and it was obvious that she also felt something was wrong.

The two flew higher and higher, and the village under their feet had become a small dot, and the peak of Suzuka Mountain was still out of reach. According to the flying speed of the two, the height of Suzuka Mountain was almost catching up with the Yuxu Peak of Kunlun Mountain.

How is this possible?

After reaching a certain height, a violent gale will inevitably be generated, but the two did not feel any gale.

This shows one thing, although the two flew for a long time, they did not fly to a certain height. Either this space was extended by some formation or spell, resulting in the effect of looking at the mountain and running to the death, or the two have been circling in the same place and trapped in the maze.

This situation is far worse than encountering a ghost wall on the ground.

At this time, a bright moon quietly peeked out from behind the strangely colored dark clouds.

Qi Xuansu and Xiao Yin were frozen for a moment under the moonlight.

The moonlight became brighter and brighter, and finally illuminated the whole world and annihilated everything.

Qi Xuansu suddenly became dazed, came back to his senses, and looked at the shrine in front of him that was covered with various talismans.

Xiao Yin suggested, "Let's go in and take a look?"

Qi Xuansu subconsciously asked, "Do you know what's inside?"

"I don't know." Xiao Yin shook his head and said, "Tear off all these ghostly talismans, then open the door and take a look."

Qi Xuansu frowned, feeling as if he had heard this before, and said, "This place is so strange, if you rashly open the seal..."

Xiao Yin said, "This is Suzuka Mountain, maybe the Suzuka Gozen you are looking for is sealed inside, if you don't open it and take a look, wouldn't you miss it? Then how can you report back?"

Qi Xuansu felt that what Xiao Yin said made sense, so he walked forward and stretched out his hand to pull it directly. To his surprise, there was no resistance, and it was easily opened, and those seals were useless.

Behind the door of the shrine was a cave, and Qi Xuansu took out the "Nine Yang Lihuo Cover" and walked into the cave.

The cave was extremely quiet, with only the sound of dripping water, like the sound of the hands of a clock.

Drip dripping is every moment.

After passing through the dark cave, the view suddenly opened up.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Yin, have you read "Peach Blossom Spring"?"

Xiao Yin said: "Of course I have read it. You mean this paragraph: 'At first it was very narrow, but it was only passable. After walking a few dozen steps, it suddenly opened up. The land was flat, the houses were neat, there were fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees and bamboos.'"

Qi Xuansu always felt that the village in front of him was familiar. When the two entered the village and found it empty, Qi Xuansu didn't even feel the slightest bit of surprise, but felt that it should be like this.

Qi Xuansu followed his intuition and went straight to the depths of the village, and found a wandering Tougu Onmyoji, with a wooden look, like a mechanical man, and like sleepwalking.

A name popped up in Qi Xuansu's mind, and he blurted out, "You are Tsuchimikado Tadataka."

The wandering Tsuchimikado Onmyoji suddenly stopped, slowly turned his head and looked at Qi Xuansu, his wooden eyes changed slightly: "Who are you? Why do you know me?"

Qi Xuansu didn't know why he knew this Tsuchimikado Onmyoji whom he met for the first time, but the strange thing was that he was not surprised at all that this Tsuchimikado Onmyoji appeared here, just like he was not surprised that there was no one in this "Peach Blossom Spring".

This situation was like he had been to a place in his dream, and when he really went there, he would have a vague sense of déjà vu.

Feeling familiar, but thinking carefully, he couldn't remember anything.

This is too weird.

Qi Xuansu still said: "I am Qi Xuansu from the Taoist sect. I have seen you in the camp."

"Taoism... Camp..." Tsuchimikado Tadashi murmured, "You are... my companion?"

Qi Xuansu said: "You can say that."

"Companion... Companion..." Tsuchimikado Tadashi suddenly hugged his head, "You abandoned me, you left me here alone, you, you..."

Tsuchimikado Tadashi suddenly raised his head, his eyes were red, saliva kept dripping from the corners of his mouth, and his nails quickly grew longer, dark and deep.

Qi Xuansu said almost at the same time as Xiao Yin: "He is now going to turn from a human into a ghost."

Xiao Yin looked at Qi Xuansu with a little surprise, as if surprised that Qi Xuansu reacted so quickly this time.

Tsuchimikado Tadashi roared, and the Yin-Yang Master on his body was torn and shattered, and the whole person suddenly swelled to a height of more than ten feet, his muscles bulged like rocks, and his veins bulged.

Because Xiao Yin glanced at Qi Xuansu, he did not open his mouth immediately.

Qi Xuansu did not draw his sword immediately.

However, Tsuchimikado still roared and rushed towards the two.

Qi Xuansu said, "Don't kill him, find a way to trap him."

Xiao Yin responded, stretched out his hand, and shot out a thin black line, which sank into the center of Tsuchimikado Tadayoshi's eyebrows.

Tsuchimikado Tadayoshi was not controlled by Xiao Yin like the witch, but fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up a circle of dust.

Qi Xuansu and Xiao Yin came to Tsuchimikado Tadayoshi, checked him carefully, and found that he had lost all his breath.

The two looked at each other in surprise.

Because Tsuchimikado Tadayoshi did not look at the top of the mountain, Qi Xuansu did not try to take off, but chose to look for clues in the village.

Time passed by little by little.

I don't know when the sky appeared with colorful brilliance, and a bright moon quietly poked out half of its face from behind the strangely colored dark clouds.
