Chapter 7: Crossing the Circle
"You don't really believe that the broken book is the handwriting of Huangfu Mubai, do you?!" Suzaku looked at Yan Nai with an incredulous expression. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"I don't know, but yesterday I found an interesting yin-yang technique when I was flipping through it." When Yan Nai said this, he stopped and didn't continue, but Suzaku couldn't hold his breath, "Go on." ā
"A yin-yang technique that might help me travel back." Yan Nai smiled and continued.
"And this yin and yang technique?!" Suzaku looked at Yan Nai suspiciously, "You can't touch the forbidden technique!" ā
āā¦ā¦ It's not a forbidden technique, the forbidden techniques in this book are all marked, and I can't understand it at all. Yan Nai shook his head and said.
"So, is it dangerous?" Suzaku's tone gradually softened, and he even looked at Yan Nai with some concern.
"Are you worried about me?" Seeing Suzaku like this for the first time, Yan Nai looked at her with some incredulity.
"Why, how can there be! I just don't want you to die before you break your contract with me! Suzaku immediately denied it with a nervous expression, and his face seemed to be flushed.
"Don't worry, I can't die, I'm more worried about whether I can succeed, if I fail, where are we going to find the deliberately hidden Emperor Fu Mu Bai......" Yan Nai muttered to himself with a frown.
"Forget it, it's useless to think so much, try it and then go with me to the outskirts of Lingcheng." Yan Nai said and left the inn with Suzaku.

"Do you know Mu Bai's whereabouts?" Qin Ji frowned slightly at Xiao Ningqiu, who looked at Xiao Ningqiu, who looked at her, and Xiao Ningqiu also put down the pen in her hand and slowly looked up at her, "If I knew, I would have gone to him a long time ago." ā
"Do you have a way to find him?" Kotohime then continued, "I want to see him." ā
"Qin'er, as I said, I don't really know everything, the current Huangfu Mubai is beyond the scope of my divination, there is really no way to find him, and he deliberately hides it, no one can find him." Xiao Ningqiu explained in a calm tone.
"I know, I'm ...... I just want to see him......" Kotohime's voice became quieter and quieter, and her mood was very low.
Xiao Ningqiu looked at Qin Ji not far away, sighed lightly, walked to her side, and gently put his hands on her shoulders, "I understand your feelings, but now the high-level onmyoji of Xiao and Yin Yang can't determine his location, and I can't help it, but I'll do my best to find him, okay?" ā
"Ningqiu ......" Qin Ji looked up at Xiao Ningqiu with teary eyes, "I'm sorry, I'm still so willful." Her voice was a little guilty, because she knew that she owed Xiao Ningqiu too much.
"As long as you keep remembering me, that's enough." Xiao Ningqiu's smile was a little desolate, Qin Ji leaned her head in his arms, and he stroked her hair, and the two fell into silence.
In a forest on the outskirts of Lingcheng, after a burst of dazzling white light, the entire forest returned to calm, "I still think there is something wrong with this magic circle, Yan Nai, don't try it." Suzaku looked at Yan Nai in the circle with some concern.
"No, I have to find a way to see Mu Bai in the past, this is the only way at present, maybe something went wrong......" Yan Nai frowned and looked at the scroll in his hand, looking at the magic circle for a while, and then looking at the scroll again.
"Yan Nai ......" Suzaku saw Yan Nai so seriously for the first time, at first she was summoned by this little-known onmyoji from a strange summoning point, and she was forced to sign a contract, she held back her anger about this matter.
She was thinking about how to make this outrageously weak onmyoji break the contract with herself, and during that time in the yin capital, although she hated to follow Yan Nai, but gradually she found that Yan Nai was not quite the same as other onmyoji.
Even Suzaku herself doesn't know, I don't know when it started, following Yan Nai has become a habit, even after the contract is lifted, she still can't get rid of this habit, maybe she has regretted it at the moment of terminating the contract, but with her character, she will not take it back after the words have been spoken, so she chose to continue to follow Yan Nai quietly.
Now Suzaku is still arguing with Yan Nai, but she never thought about leaving him again, she even felt a little ridiculous, she desperately wanted to get rid of Yan Nai, but now she is willing to follow him, and even began to worry about his safety......
"I see! It's this place that's wrong! Yan Nai's excited voice pulled Suzaku's thoughts back, "Is it a problem with the magic circle?" She asked with concern.
"It's a mantra, it's wrong." When Yan Nai said this, he was a little embarrassed, and Suzaku was even more angry when he heard it, "Huh?!" As an onmyoji, you could have recited the wrong spell?! Oh, my God! ā
"You can't blame me, this spell is old and complicated, and it's normal to make a mistake once!" Yan Nai explained with some innocence.
"Did you know that some spells, if you mispronounce them, can kill you?" Suzaku said loudly angrily.
"You're really worried about me!" Yan Nai seemed to have discovered a new continent, and looked at Suzaku with bright eyes, "Isn't it?" Isn't it? ā
āā¦ā¦ Neuropathy! Too lazy to pay attention to you! I won't help you collect your body when you're dead! Hum! Suzaku said loudly with red cheeks, and even though he disappeared from his figure, he disappeared.
Yan Nai smiled bitterly, and carefully studied the spell in the book, his expression became more and more serious, the consequences of the wrong spell that Suzaku said, of course he knew, and now he also sweated for just now, but fortunately he didn't launch the magic circle, and he didn't trigger other bad consequences, otherwise he would really be finished.
After carefully studying it for a long time, Yan Nai once again put the book in his arms, his hands were sealed on his chest, and words were muttered in his mouth, and five talismans flew out from his chest, corresponding to the five sharp corners of the pentagram array under his feet.
āā¦ā¦ Haste as a law! After reciting a series of awkward and complex incantations, Yan Nai's gesture froze at the moment when the words fell, and the five talismans were connected to each other, forming another pentagram that surrounded him.
Another burst of dazzling light shot straight into the sky, and when Yan Nai opened his eyes again, he was still standing in the pentagram array, and the scenery around him was still unchanged.
Seeing this, Yan Nai sighed deeply, "Is there really no way to travel back?" He sat down on the ground with his head down, the pentagram array around him gradually dissipated, and he continued to activate the circle without spiritual power, "Let's try again tomorrow!" ā
After Yan Nai adjusted his mood, he got up and patted the dust on his body, and left the forest along the forest path.
