After resting for about ten minutes, everyone came to the bottom of the approach.

Everyone looked at the stone steps that had at least three hundred steps on top of each other.

But Kitagawa Temple raised his eyebrows and came to the first torii.

This torii gate is different from the usual torii.

There are no beams, only white strings, on which you can vaguely see the zigzag-shaped imperial coins.

On these torii pillars, which have faded from vermilion to a scarlet color, you can still see the words engraved on them.

"These words are the names of the people who built these torii gates in the past."

Kaguya Shikata explained, and then stepped forward to stroke the crimson torii pillar, looking at the words on it that had been worn down by the years.

She seemed to be feeling something, but soon the weak expression on her face disappeared and was replaced by a sense of perseverance.

Sifang Kaguya turned his head again, looked at the bodyguard and driver behind him, and said in an awe-inspiring voice: "From now on, the front is the scope of the spiritual realm, and a few of you stay here to guard the good things for us." ”

Then she looked at the Beichuan Temple:

"Master Kitagawa, Master Haneda, Master Onodera, let's go."

Everyone nodded, followed behind Kaguya, and stepped onto the stone steps.

But the moment they stepped on the stone steps, a cold feeling rose from behind them, and the temperature around them dropped unconsciously.

In fact, this is also a very easy thing to understand.

After all, Beichuan Temple is now very close to the large spiritual domain of the Sifang Shrine, and the environment of the spiritual domain will cause all kinds of uncomfortable symptoms to the human body, and the overflowing resentment of the deceased will even cause ordinary people to lose their luck and deteriorate their physical condition for a period of time.

Master Haneda's face was vigilant, and his gaze began to wander around, obviously entering a state of vigilance.

If you look closely, you will see that the dense forest on both sides of the stone steps has become a little blurry and inverted, as if the crown and roots of the trees have been reversed.

The black resentment unconsciously obscured the road behind him, and in the inverted dense forest on both sides, it seemed that the murky voices of the resentful spirits could not be constructed at all.

"Sure enough... It's the right time to come at the time of the devil. Kaguya held his breath slightly.

On her chest, the Moonlight Mirror shimmered.

The shimmer was soft and clear, dispelling the mist of resentment.

She didn't use the good thoughts in the Moonlight Mirror for many years, and naturally approached the Spirit Realm.

In this vigilant situation, the crowd continued to move forward.

They climbed for about another twenty minutes, before finally coming to a halt before a dark fog of resentment obscured them.

This fog of resentment surged under the shroud of a colorful halo, as if he wanted to break through the halo and come to this world.

It can be seen that the barrier of the Sifang Family Shrine has been broken in many places, and the gentle halo can no longer restrain the resentment, and wisps of resentment are squeezed out from everywhere like worms.

“... This is the enchantment of the Quartet? Kitagawa Temple, who had not spoken, spoke up.

His tone sounded a little surprised.

As soon as I heard that Kitagawa Temple would also make such a sound, the four directions Kaguya was also satisfied.

Originally, I thought that Beichuan Temple would not easily show his emotions, but now it seems that the other party will still be surprised.

It seems that the strength of the Quartet's enchantment has surprised the other party.

"Not bad. This is the barrier constructed by the head of the Quartet using the moonlight. ”

Shikata Kaguya affirmed Kitagawa Temple's statement.

“... Is it? Kitagawa Temple took a sentence and looked at the enchantment, and stopped talking.

But in the eyes of the Sifang Kaguya, Kitagawa Temple was already shocked by the Sifang Family Enchantment to the point of being speechless.

She popularized the knowledge of the enchantment over there, but the Beichuan Temple here pinched her chin and had a strange heart.

Why did he think that this barrier would burst open in a few hammers? Don't even need the moonlight mirror of the Quartet Night?

Kitagawa Temple glanced at the four directions Kaguya, and when he saw that the other party had already walked to the front of the enchantment, he also shook his head and hid his thoughts back in his heart.

"The barrier is so fragile now, compared to the one that separated everything from the past... The current barrier is nothing at all. But even if this is the case, it is not something that human beings can break through. ”

Sifang Kaguya sighed, then took off the moon mirror on his chest, and between his hands, he turned his hands slightly, and aimed the mirror of the moon mirror at the enchantment in front of him.

The mirror glows with a rich brilliance.

Correspondingly, the surface of the barrier in front of everyone's eyes also rippled.

The brilliance and the enchantment were entangled with each other, and finally formed a passage large enough for one person to pass through.

And this passage is the passage to the Shifang Shrine.

Without hesitation, the crowd followed the night into the dark passage.

The passage was not long, and after about ten seconds, everyone was out of it.

"This is the Shikata Shrine." Kitagawa Temple stopped with a slight flickering gaze and raised his head to look at the building in front of him.

Under the bright red sunset that burns like fire, it is a square stone slab that is incompletely laid out in the past.

And on top of these stone slabs is a well-ordered shrine building.

Similar to the Sifang Village below, these ancient shrine buildings have also fallen into decay.

Cracked walls littered with dead creepers.

The white walls have taken on a black-and-gray hue, and from a distance they seem to be distorted like human figures.

About a third of the tiles on the roof of the shrine have slipped off, revealing a bare frame.

The stone lanterns were shifted on both sides, and some fell directly to the ground.

Dilapidated, desolate, desolate...

It's not a problem to describe the scene in front of you in that word.

But—

The area of this Shifang Shrine is inevitably too large.

A cursory glance reveals that in addition to the main hall in front of you, a considerable part of the shrine building continues in the rear.

It's no wonder that Kaguya Quartet is willing to make time.

After all, it is not easy to find a 'moon mirror' in such a housing complex.

"As you can see, this area in front of us is the Shikata Shrine." Shikata Kaguya explained: "Among them, the Shifang Shrine is divided into different areas such as the shrine in front of the mountain, the altar in the mountain, and the worship behind the mountain, and in addition to these areas that are mainly responsible for ceremonies and sacrifices, there are also some areas where priests and shrine maidens live..."

Kaguya continued, "And the Lost Lunar Scope is in one of these four areas... Because of the ferocity of the moon, the witch who was responsible for transferring the moon mirror was devoured by the evil thing, and the moon mirror disappeared... So I thought-"

She wanted to keep talking, but—

Boom!!!

With the sound of the spirit exploding, Kaguya's face was splashed with minced flesh and jet-black liquid.

She was so confused by this sudden scene that she just blinked her eyes, and then looked at Beichuan Temple with a dull gaze.

The other party clenched a black sledgehammer.

And the sledgehammer was right next to her head... As long as the other party is slightly uncontrollable, her head will be smashed as well.

"Wraiths." Kitagawa Temple briefly explained and then let go of the hammer.

Constructed into a hammer and burrowed back into his body in the next second.

Sifang Kaguya couldn't help but look sideways.

At some point, there was already a rickety figure standing beside her.

The tattered moon phase god robe, the blue and white slender and twisted arms stretched straight out towards her head, as if she was going to screw her head off in the next moment.

It's just that before it could accomplish this purpose, Beichuan Temple had already hammered its head directly into minced meat.

The empty neck seemed to be a little confused in the setting sun.

With the muffled sound of the spirit colliding with the ground, Haneda and Onodera both came back to their senses.

They looked at Beichuan Temple, and then at the Quartet Kaguya, whose faces were full of filth, and looked like they wanted to speak but didn't dare to speak.

What else can be done? Is it difficult to blame Kitagawa Temple?

This is obviously impossible.

After all, the other party can be regarded as saving the Quartet Kaguya.

But you have to say thanks...

Kitagawa Temple can be regarded as smashing the Quartet Kaguya's face with filth, and maybe the Quartet Kaguya has its own way to deal with it, but Kitagawa Temple uses this way to make a witch who keeps her pure body look like this...

Of course... The most important thing is the way to remove spirits in Beichuan Temple.

Is there anyone else who is directly on the hammer?

This made Master Onodera, who had never seen Kitagawa Temple's soul removal face full of astonishment, and he approached Master Haneda and asked in a low voice, "Master Haneda, I remember that Master Kitagawa is the soul removal mage you contacted, right?" ... Has he always been like this? ”

"Uhhhh Probably... That's how it should be, right? ”

"......" Master Onodera.

Probably so?

Hiss...

In his opinion, to remove the spirit, he should first use his good thoughts to hook up the power of the spirit appreaciation, and then use the spirit apparatus to weaken the other party, and finally destroy the resentful spirit.

However, the Beichuan Temple's method of removing spirits directly omitted the first two steps, and it was all over with a hammer.

And this method of removing spirits?

"This should be Master Kitagawa's special method of removing spirits..."Master Onodera reluctantly suppressed the surprise in his heart, and laughed dryly at Master Haneda.

Yes, this world is so big, it's normal to have a special method of removing spirits like Beichuan Temple.

However, this method of Beichuan Temple must also be flawed, otherwise how could it be a resentful spirit with a hammer?

Exorcising resentful spirits is also a process, and a lethal move like Beichuan Temple should not be used too much.

Just as the two middle-aged mages were laughing at each other, Beichuan Temple spoke again:

"Here we go again."

Not again?!

Hon-la Haneda and Hon-la Onodera perked up and looked in the direction of Kitagawa Temple.

Sure enough, the air there twisted and squirmed, and a middle-aged male resentful spirit was quietly squeezed out of the air.

This resentful spirit is not a priest or a shrine maiden, and is dressed in ordinary sackcloth and kimonos, and her white and crooked face is full of resentment towards the living.

It's simply the standard 'wraith'.

Seeing this resentful spirit, Master Haneda also calmly took out the spirit tool and spoke: "Master Kitagawa, you just used such a terrifying move to expel the attacking resentful spirit, and now you should be running out of strength, right?" I'll leave this wraith to me and Master Onodera, and you can rest by the side. ”

"Huh?" Beichuan Temple, who was already planning to rush forward and solve the grievances of this clansman with one hammer, frowned, and the originally condensed dead qi also overflowed.

What is Master Haneda talking about?

He didn't quite understand it.

Master Onodera, who was on the side, saw that Kitagawa Temple was so 'weak' that even the sledgehammer could not be condensed, and his heart was also relieved.

The method of removing the spirit of Beichuan Temple is really still flawed!

Thinking of this, Master Onodera also immediately spoke:

"Not bad. For example, Mage Kitagawa will recover himself next to him, and this resentful spirit will be left to me and Master Haneda to deal with. There will definitely be opportunities for young people like you to perform in the future. ”

“... Well? ”

There is something strange about Kitagawa Temple.

What are these two people talking about?

Did he just do something?

Why did you let him rest?

But that's fine.

Since Master Haneda and Master Onodera are fighting against the resentful spirits in front of them, Kitagawa Temple is also happy to see it.

After all, he didn't have to make a effort to see the process of removing the spirits of Master Haneda and Master Onodera.

That's a good thing.

Kitagawa Temple looked at Master Haneda and Master Onodera with some curiosity.

I saw them take out the spirit equipment, and—

It's too inkblotting.

Looking at the two mages who were constantly weakening the resentment of the resentful spirit with their good thoughts, Kitagawa Temple shook his head.

It's been two minutes since the start of the fight, and Master Haneda and Master Onodera have used special spells to trap the resentful spirits in place, and then use spirit tools to weaken the opponent's resentment, and wait until it is almost time to deliver a fatal blow to the opponent.

In this way, for Beichuan Temple, there is no need to learn at all.

And the idea in his mind, 'I'm a little better than Master Onodera', has also changed.

This 'little bit'... It seems to be a bit worse.

After Master Onodera and Master Haneda expelled the resentful spirits, Kaguya Shikata, whose face turned into a black liquid and disappeared into resentment, also stepped forward to thank him:

"This time it's really troublesome for Master Kitagawa, Master Haneda, and Master Onodera."

"It's not a big deal, it's what we should do."

Master Haneda and Master Onodera waved their hands, and then they looked at Kitagawa Temple again, and said in a soft voice: "This time it is mainly the credit of Master Kitagawa that he fought hard to expel the evil spirit that attacked Miss Kaguya, and now everything would be in vain." ”

The two of them enthusiastically patted Kitagawa Temple on the shoulder.

It seems that it was the process of removing the spirit just now that made these two people reach a consensus inexplicably.

The two of them went from the original idea of 'Kitagawa Temple lost air power in order to save Sifang Kaguya' to the idea that Beichuan Temple lost air and blood in order to save Sifang Kaguya', and they couldn't even stand'.

Especially Beichuan Temple stood by from the beginning to the end and watched them nervously, as if as long as the two of them couldn't stand it, Beichuan Temple would rush up again with the risk of 'losing air and blood'...

This moved Haneda and Onodera even more.

Alas, Master Kitagawa is such a good person. 8)
