"Tanuma's house is in the deepest part of the forest, and the environment is very good, but it's winter and there's nothing." Natsume led the way in front, and the fat cat teacher next to him jumped and ran, scurrying around everyone.

Huayue of the Wind Bird Courtyard said softly: "Are there many monks practicing in the temple?" ”

Natsume froze for a moment, and he said, "Well, I don't know much about this, but the people I usually see ...... It seems to be very little. He was a little entangled: "But the host is very good, and the temple is very quiet, and the incense is ...... Well, well, the incense isn't very strong. ”

Wind Bird Courtyard Huayue smiled: "Thank you, in fact, I just need to find a quiet temple." ”

Natsume breathed a sigh of relief, and he said, "Then you will definitely like it here." ”

Xia Chuanyu's gaze swept over the forest, his eyes stayed in the depths of the forest for a long time, and he said, "Is it quiet in the forest?" ”

Natsume was stunned for a moment, he hesitated for a moment and said, "The abbot has been practicing all year round, and he is kind-hearted, and he rarely has anything to disturb on weekdays. ”

Xia Chuan fish is clear, does this mean that the temple is still quiet?

Anyway, although there is a faint demonic aura in the depths of the forest, since Natsume thinks that Hachihara is a good place, it proves that he recognizes the monsters in the forest, so he won't say anything.

The speed of the group was very fast, they walked for about an hour, through the forest, they saw the enchantment made of knotted cloth with rope, Xia Chuanyu's eyes flashed, and he nodded secretly in his heart, there was a clear and pure white aura lingering in the enchantment, it seemed that although the strength of the host was not very good, it was very pure, and the person who could cultivate such pure power should not have a bad heart.

Because he had greeted the host in advance, the host Tian Nua stood at the door and waited, and he was a little surprised when he saw everyone, he didn't expect so many people to come.

The host of Tian Nua was wearing a monk's robe, his face was gentle, he looked very kind, he was very kind when he smiled, and he also wore a pair of glasses, which was very gentle.

The cat glanced at the host again and whispered to Xia Chuanyu.

Xia Chuanyu smiled with satisfaction, very good, even the cat couldn't see the problem, he secretly nodded to Huayue of the Wind Bird Courtyard.

Wind Bird Courtyard Huayue's expression was even more relaxed, and his eyes as he looked at the temple were a little more serious and cautious.

Behind the presiding officer was standing his son Tanuma, and when Tanuma wanted to see Natsume, his face changed slightly, and he said in surprise: "Natsume? ”

Natsume smiled: "Yo, Tanuma, this is my friend, they said they were coming to the Hachihara Temple, so I brought them with me." ”

Since they were acquaintances, the atmosphere between the two sides suddenly eased a lot, and the host of Tian Nua invited them into the temple.

"I was actually surprised when I received Brother Sunset's request."

The host smiled and said, "Because the scale of my temple is really too small, and it is located in the mountains and forests in a remote area, it is really rare that there are still people who want to worship here." ”

Huayue of the Wind Bird Courtyard said with a smile: "It is precisely because of the remoteness that I want to worship here." After a pause, he looked at the host with a difficult face.

The host said: "Is it you who wants to worship the ancestral tablet?" In that case, please come here, please, help me entertain these laymen. ”

Tian Nua nodded, he took Natsume and the others to the wing room on the other side, the furnishings here looked more normal, and it should be the place where the family of Tian Nua lived on weekdays.

"I really didn't expect you to be friends with Natsume."

The Wind Bird Courtyard Huayue was not around, so she spoke much more freely, and Xia Chuanyu asked Natsume first: "Does this friend of yours know about you?" ”

Natsume muttered, "Tanuma knows, he knows about youkai, and he knows that I can see it." ”

Tian Nua was surprised and said, "Hey, ...... so."

Xia Chuanyu smiled: "We all know about yokai. ”

Emiya Shirou also nodded, saying that since he followed Ogawa to Tokyo and saw the world where Ogawa was, he could never go back to the past, or he himself did not want to go back, although this world was dangerous, it was magnificent and colorful, and people couldn't stop it.

As a result, he understands Shinji Makiri's unwillingness and the pain of being ostracized and denied.

Tian Nua was slightly stunned at first, and then he smiled, and he said to Natsume: "Great, you are not alone. ”

Natsume's eyes widened suddenly, he smiled, he smiled very happily, gently and slowly, he said, "Thank you, yes, after I know you and know the multi-track classmates, I am no longer alone." ”

Xia Chuanyu was very relieved to see this scene, and Shirou asked curiously, "Tanuma-kun, can you also see youkai?" ”

Tanuma shook his head: "I can only see a shallow shadow, and I can't see it clearly without Natsume." ”

Xia Chuanyu said: "Speaking of which, can you see it?" There is a faint white halo on the upper floor of your temple. ”

Tian Nua was surprised and said, "What is that?" ”

"That's the precious light of your temple, the spiritual light that you, you and your father have produced after practicing." Xia Chuanyu said: "As long as you continue to practice sincerely, you will definitely see it." ”

Tian Numa's heart jumped after hearing this: "I can see it too?" ”

"yes."

"But my father can't see it."

Xia Chuanyu said meaningfully: "Because he has no reason to want to see it." ”

Tanuma and Natsume were stunned at the same time.

"What does that mean?"

"There are no monsters in his world, so he can't see them, but you know that there are other creatures around you, and if you want to see them, you will definitely be able to see them someday in the future." Xia Chuanyu chuckled: "This is the power that belongs to the heart. ”

Tian Nua was about to be stunned, he smiled slowly: "Thank you, I will work hard in the future." ”

Natsume was also very happy, Tanuma had been frustrated because he couldn't see it, and it would be great if he could see it in the future.

Emiya Shirou said curiously: "Then according to what you say, in fact, humans can see youkai?" ”

Xia Chuanyu said lightly: "I could have seen it." He held the cat on his head in his arms again, gently scratched the cat's chin, and said slowly: "Isn't there a saying? Children can see things that adults can't see, that's because children are pure-hearted, and they can naturally see monsters, but when humans grow up and their minds are obscure, they naturally can't see them. ”

"Of course, people who continue to practice can also see that because of their perseverance and purity of their hearts, they can even gain some unexpected powers because of their perennial practice, which can cause damage to youkai or heal them, and whether they are powerful or not, the heart is the key."

A few people listened attentively, and Emiya Shirou said thoughtfully: "Xiaochuan, what about magic?" Are there any requirements for practicing magic? ”

If you can let ordinary people use magic, then Shinji won't be so depressed, right?

Natsume said in surprise, "Magic? What is that? ”

"Ah, it's the same as the demonic power in your body, and the cultivation power in Tanuma-kun's body, it's also an ability." Xia Chuan Yu arrived: "Magic words...... It's more troublesome, this power is transmitted in the bloodline, and if there is no magic circuit in the body, it is honestly difficult to practice magic. ”

Emiya Shirou said: "But my qualifications are not good, I am usually exhausted from practicing projection magic, and I will even be very tired when building magic circuits." ”

Xia Chuanyu looked at Emiya Shirou, and he said helplessly: "That's because of your cultivation mistakes." ”

"........................" Emiya Shirou was very confused.

Xia Chuanyu said: "The strength of a person's magic depends on the legacy of the ancestors, my father used the magic mark to open up my magic circuit, I use magic naturally and smoothly, your magic circuit is still closed, of course it is very painful to practice magic." ”

Emiya Shirou scratched his head: "Is it difficult to open the magic circuit?" ”

"I can open it for you, too, but...... I prefer that you can open the magic circuit yourself at a critical moment, it is good for you, the magic circuit is in your body, you call them and they will respond to you. Xia Chuanyu said: "The reason why I asked you to practice archery and kendo is that I hope to exercise your body before you open the magic circuit, otherwise the magic power in the magic circuit will rush out at the critical moment, and your body will not be able to stand it." ”

Emiya Shirou understood: "I see, as long as I fight hard and cultivate hard, I can become a magician, right?" ”

Xia Chuanyu nodded: "Theoretically, it is true. ”

Emiya Shirou's heart is pounding, which means that he is actually a magician!

Then the troubles and battles that Xiaochuan needs to face in the future, he can also face! He can face a qiē instead of him!

Thinking of this, Emiya Shirou almost flew up happily.

Xia Chuan stared at Emiya Shirou suspiciously: "You...... What's wrong? ”

Emiya Shirou immediately restrained his expression, he couldn't be in a hurry, he couldn't be in a hurry, this was still a secret, Ogawa didn't know his plans yet, by the way! Asakura is good! That guy promised before, he will face it when [trouble] happens, and he can't let Xiao Chuan know!

He said, "I'm very happy that I can also inherit my father's mantle......

Xia Chuanyu said: "Well, this is nature, and in the future, my father's magic mark will also need to be handed over to you." ”

He will leave this world one day, and the only person who can inherit the seal of the Emiya family is Emiya Shirou, which is something that belongs to Shirou.

Emiya Shirou's heart sank after hearing this, what does this mean? Ogawa is younger than him, why did he say that he wanted to pass on the magic mark to him?

Could it be that the [trouble] in the future will take Xiaochuan's life? Otherwise, why did Ogawa consider engraving inheritance at this time? According to Tosaka-san, the magic mark is the essence of a magician's inheritance, and it cannot be granted casually!

He forced a smile and said, "Okay, I'll try." ”

Emiya Shirou couldn't sit still, he was afraid that if he sat here again, he would show a sad expression, which would attract Ogawa's attention.

He simply got up and walked to the corridor next to him and pretended to look at the scenery outside.

Natsukawayu didn't doubt him, he was still chatting with Natsume, and sometimes he and Tanuma wanted to discuss the matter of worship, but the cat stared at Emiya Shirou faintly, and its cat face showed a thoughtful expression.

Emiya Shirou looked up at the sky, his hands clenched into fists, and he must protect his only brother.

His dream was to be a partner in justice, but before that...... Ogawa's safety is more important!

At the moment when this thought crossed his mind, Emiya Shirou suddenly felt a slight tingling in his right hand.

He was stunned for a moment, and looked carefully at the surface of his hand, and a crimson pattern appeared on it, which was ...... What the?
