"Are you awake?"

When Mu Chi Zhenshi heard this cold voice, he immediately raised his head, and his gaze also lifted upward.

In front of her stood a young man with a calm complexion, his black eyes flashing with death from time to time.

"......" Mu Chi Zhenshi's face tightened.

She tried to move her body, but found that at some point she was already clinging to the black chains of Senran.

The chains are so strong that they can't be easily broken with just good thoughts.

She just tried it and gave up right away.

"What exactly do you want to do? Mr. Kitagawa? ”

"......" Kitagawa Temple.

This made Kitagawa Temple feel a little surprised.

Mu Chi Zhenshi just calmed down after learning about his situation, and did not do some useless struggles like Mu Chi Qingluo.

However, looking at her appearance in her twenties, she became the head of the Mu Chi family, and it is natural to think about it with such a device.

"What I want to ask... You should know very well, Miss Mu Chi Zhenshi, there is no need to ask extra questions. ”

Kitagawa Temple sat down with a flat face.

"......" Mu Chi Zhenshi.

Yes, in fact, Mu Chi Zhenshi didn't need to analyze it to know what Beichuan Temple wanted from her.

What Beichuan Temple wants to know is nothing more than something about the witch of Mu Chi, that's all.

Mu Chi Zhenshi subconsciously straightened his body and maintained a standard sitting posture when his hands were trapped.

That elegant appearance does have a sense of being the head of the Mu Chi family.

To be honest, this is also the first time that Kitagawa Temple has met a female head of the house.

Whether it's the Asaka, Shinju, Sifang, Hayakawa families... The position of the head of the family is basically male.

This is not to say that Beichuan Temple discriminates against women, but most of these families with a long history and based on 'bloodline' and 'family glory' have a patriarchal performance.

In fact, this is not even reflected in this kind of family, Japan itself has a patriarchal expression in society, and some of the mantras that reprimand people even say, 'Even women do this kind of thing well, why can't you do it well?'"

Therefore, it is also quite surprising to see a female head of the family in a family with a long heritage like the Mu Chi family.

"You want to know about the witch of Mu Chi, right?"

Mu Chi Zhenshi spoke.

Her voice is very good, with a crisp and ethereal feeling, but because the tone contained in this voice is too high-minded, it makes people feel a little difficult to get along with.

Kitagawa Temple didn't answer, he just stared at the other party without saying a word.

Feeling the gaze of the young man in front of him, Mu Chi Zhenshi took a deep breath, and then the whole person seemed to relax, and his voice became extremely calm: "You brought me here... It's just to get to know from me about the witch of Mu Chi. ”

She raised her head and looked directly at Beichuan Temple, and continued without changing her tone:

"Originally, I thought that Mr. Beichuan you were a smarter person, but you did such a thoughtless act to offend the Mu Chi family, this is really..."

Belch.

Mu Chi Zhenshi reacted before he finished speaking.

What Kitagawa Temple did was not unplanned.

He came to Kagoshima Prefecture and was willing to contact their Mu Chi family just to get information about the Mu Chi witch... And the most direct source of information about Mu Chi Wunu is none other than herself, the head of the family.

This youth... I don't care about the rest of the Mu Chi family at all! All he cares about is 'Mu Chi Wu Maiden's information', that's all!

Mu Chi Zhenshi even believed that if Beichuan Temple knew the information of Mu Chi Wunu, it was estimated that it would directly bypass Mu Chi's family and go it alone.

"......" Mu Chi Zhenshi.

This youth... From the beginning, he did not intend to hide his own thoughts.

Mu Chi Zhenshi showed an expression of 'I already understand'.

On the other side, Beichuan Temple raised her eyebrows, not quite understanding what she meant by this pose.

He just kept staring at Mu Chi Zhenshi, trying to distinguish the truth in her words, and he didn't say anything else at all, why did this female head of the Mu Chi family show such an expression?

Just as Beichuan Temple was thinking without moving, Mu Chi Zhenshi spoke again:

"This is really rude, I really didn't expect Mr. Kitagawa to be so direct... I kind of see what you mean. ”

You see what I mean?

But I haven't said anything yet?

Kitagawa Temple remained silent, wanting to see what the woman could continue to say.

"Mr. Kitagawa, since you are a smart person, I don't think there is any need for me to continue to hide from you... In fact, I'll tell you about the witch of Mu Chi, too, but until then..."

"Could you please untie my chains? Always carrying such a heavy load, I always feel that it is a little difficult to breathe. ”

Mu Chi Zhenshi glanced at the lifeless chains that were tightly bound on his body.

This time, Beichuan Temple did not remain silent, he moved his finger at the chain of dead air, and these pure dead qi naturally dispersed, and was actively recovered into his body by Beichuan Temple.

"Thank you, Mr. Kitagawa, for trusting me."

Mu Chi Zhenshi thanked him.

Yes, presumably Beichuan Temple must have understood what she meant, so he untied the chains on her body, right? Because she's not going to run away...

"In fact, you can't run away if you want to."

Beichuan Temple glanced at Mu Chi Zhenshi, and there was a hint of justification in his voice: "You can't beat me again." ”

"......" Mu Chi Zhenshi.

Ahem, ahem...

Mu Chi Zhenshi coughed violently.

After coughing, she patted her body and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Mr. Kitagawa really likes to laugh." ”

"I'm not laughing."

Beichuan Temple did not mean to give Mu Chi Zhenshi face at all:

"You really can't beat me."

"Uh..."

Seeing Beichuan Temple like this, Mu Chi Zhenshi subconsciously took two steps back, and then gritted his teeth and stood firm.

Seeing Mu Chi Zhenshi's appearance next to him, Magong Yongshi also floated to Beichuan Temple's side, and lowered his voice: "Sijun, it's better not to force the other party so much, right?" If she is angry and doesn't tell us the news of the witch... That's a bit unacceptable. ”

"No, it won't."

Beichuan Temple waved his hand and said firmly:

"She'll tell me everything I want to know."

Not...

Ma Gong Yongshi was stunned for a moment, then reacted and took two steps back, and sat down on the ground and said: "Since Sijun already has an idea, then Yongshi will naturally not talk more." ”

Yes, since Kitagawa Temple already has his own ideas, then he doesn't need to say much, he just needs to silently support the other party behind his back.

One person and one spirit turned to look at Mu Chi Zhenshi again.

Now Mu Chi Zhenshi has neatly stroked the black kimono on his body and sat down on the cushion again.

After doing this, she spoke:

"So... Where should we start? ”

"......" Kitagawa Temple.

"What kind of status does the Mu Chi Witch have in the Mu Chi family, what is the role of the Mu Chi Witch to you, and you are trying your best to find out what is the purpose of the Mu Chi Witch..."

Beichuan Temple said three questions in one breath, which made Mu Chi Zhenshi can't help grinning: "Mr. Beichuan... You're really not very polite. ”

But seeing that Beichuan Temple did not take the meaning of his words, Mu Chi Zhenshi sighed again.

She kind of saw it.

Beichuan Temple didn't mean to answer his own words at all.

All he wanted to know was about the witch of Mu Chi.

Other than that, he doesn't care about anything.

Mu Chi Zhenshi, who had figured this out, retracted the expression on his face and said in a solemn tone: "The Heavenly Emperor... The person who communicates with Huangquan... He who can recite the whispers of the dead, who knows the things of the present and the hidden... Either way, it's fine, but—"

Mu Chi Zhenshi stretched out a finger:

"The witch of Mu Chi is the key to opening the Yellow Spring and leading to the Yellow Spring."

Open the Yellow Spring, the key to the Yellow Spring?

To the Yellow Springs?!

Kitagawa Temple maintained a steady expression on his face, but a trace of astonishment quickly flashed in his heart.

The road to the Yellow Springs... What do you want to do in Yellow Springs?

This definitely can't be compared to the previous types of spiritual domains.

Whether it's the Shenzhu Home, the Sifang House, and the places like Ihan Island... What they did was nothing more than simply 'suppressing Huangquan', but what the Mu Chi family did turned out to be going to Huangquan.

There is no possibility of comparison between them.

As if sensing Beichuan Temple's emotions, Mu Chi Zhenshi's delicate eyes turned and continued: "Mr. Beichuan, do you think that our Mu Chi family is only at this level now? The Mu Chi family in the past was much more terrifying than it is now. ”

"Oh?" Kitagawa Temple turned to look over.

He also wanted to hear what Mu Chi Zhenshi said next.

"You should know, otherwise you wouldn't be as good as you are now. Only by encountering more powerful weirdness can the soul slayer go one step further... And like you... An existence that is even more powerful than the former Mu Chi Wu Maiden... I must have been in contact with 'Yellow Springs' more than once. ”

Mu Chi Zhenshi guessed this point.

Huangquan is basically an old friend of Beichuan Temple, and the weirdness that is a little higher in level is basically related to Huangquan, rituals, and sacrifices.

"Go on."

Kitagawa Temple answered.

"Since Mr. Kitagawa has come into contact with Yellow Springs more than once, then of course he knows that there are more than some huge shrines in the whole of Japan that suppress Yellow Springs."

A hint of coldness flashed in Mu Chi Zhenshi's eyes, and she raised a second finger: "Many families and shrines with long folk customs have suppressed Huangquan through their unique rituals. ”

"Rope offerings, mirror offerings, blood offerings, coffin offerings... Kill the witch sacrifice with a rope, kill the witch sacrifice with a spirit mirror, simply a little bit... Sacrifice it with the flesh and blood of a shrine maiden..."

One cruel word after another came out of her mouth, and with each word, the temperature in the air seemed to be pulled away a little, and by the end of the day, the air was already full of a biting chill. It's as if the place they're in now isn't the dog days of the South at all...

"These ceremonies... All of them have some unique meanings, and some of them can even be called weird and disgusting... However, it cannot be denied that these rituals are effective means of suppressing Huangquan. ”

Regarding Mu Chi Zhenshi's words, Beichuan Temple did not refute them.

These are Japanese-style... The suffocating ritual full of strange beauty is indeed an effective means of suppressing Yellow Springs.

Although there is some blood and barbarism... However, there are no night-walking scenes such as a hundred ghosts in Japan today, and it is true that these ancient families are thanks to this.

This is the case in places such as the Divine Residence, the Sifang Family, and the Isan Island.

And in addition to them, there are many, many villages and shrines that can't even find their place on the map, and have been completely abandoned.

"But Mu Chi's house is different from these places."

Mu Chi Zhenshi raised his head and looked at Beichuan Temple, and said word by word: "The Mu Chi family is not responsible for a simple county... Or an area. It's—"

Her long tone was solemn.

"The balance between the secluded and the present in Japan as a whole."

Mu Chi Zhenshi's eyes rose with a strong sense of kindness.

The sound falling is clearly visible.

Behind Mu Chi Zhenshi is the small courtyard of the Nakajima family, the small bridge in the small courtyard is flowing water, and the landscape sketches look beautiful and natural.

Beyond the wall is the iconic Sakurajima volcano in Kagoshima Prefecture.

After the Sakurajima volcano... It's the boundless blue sky.

The sun is setting and the birds are flying across the sky... Everything was peaceful and tranquil.

Faced with Mu Chi Zhenshi's words, Beichuan Temple picked up the tea on the table, took a sip before raising his head and said:

"And then? What about the matter of the witch of Mu Chi? ”

Belch...???

Mu Chi Zhenshi couldn't help but widen his eyes.

She couldn't hear any sense of awe in Beichuan Temple's tone, nor did she hear the slightest hint of surprise.

It's as if there is nothing worth caring about at all except for the matter of Mu Chi Witch.

Looking at Beichuan Temple like this, Mu Chi Zhenshi opened his mouth wide, and that incredible voice came out:

"It's not... Do you really understand what I mean? ”

Are you still thinking about the Mu Chi Witch?

Why are you always thinking about your Mu Chi witch?!

She really wanted to pry open Kitagawa Temple's head to see what was inside.

Is it that he doesn't think about anything at all except for Mu Chi Wunu?

This is simply outrageous! Shouldn't ordinary people be shocked to death when they hear those words just now?

It's just that before Mu Chi Zhenshi finished thinking about all these things, the Beichuan Temple over there had already knocked on the table:

"Go on."

The tone is flat and bland... It's still so bland...

Mu Chi Zhenshi swallowed his saliva.

She didn't seem to understand until now.

Some of my analysis of Kitagawa Temple just now seems to be wrong.

The other party just seems to care about Mu Chi Wunu... Aside from this... He didn't seem to be thinking about anything at all.

"It's really..."

Mu Chi Zhenshi shook his head, and then wanted to laugh a little.

She's found out.

This Kitagawa Temple in front of you...

It seems to have some resemblance to myself!

"If that's the case..."

Mu Chi Zhenshi clenched his fist hard, and then slowly turned his gaze to his wrist.

On the smooth and snow-white wrist...

There is a totem that looks like a human and inhuman thing that is shining with red brilliance.

The fate of the Mu Chi family...

What happens at the end of the day?

Mu Chi Zhenshi has inexplicably begun to look forward to it.
