Chapter 69: Ten Elders

At dawn, the sky slowly appears with a golden morning light, and a new day begins.

The Onimon Pass, which towers over Japan, sinks into the ground the moment the morning sun appears.

Inside the Reed Shrine.

In the clearing of the vestibule, a ripple like a water wave suddenly appeared.

Kiss~

There was only a crisp sound, like the sound of stones falling into the river.

Slightly.

Out of the twisted air, four figures walked out.

"It's finally back." Asakusa's eyebrows are stretched and she is in a very happy mood.

"My lord, this is..."The simple old man looked around in surprise, his eyes full of shock.

Uda Daigo's expression was solemn, and he secretly exclaimed: "What a thick holy breath." ”

At this moment, there was the sound of hurried footsteps in the main hall.

"Ernie sauce~" The sweet voice came from Xiaoling.

With her arms outstretched, she ran to Ichiro Reed, full of joy.

Seeing Xiaoling, Uda Daigo and the simple old man next to him changed slightly.

You know, Xiaoling is not human.

As a youkai, she was many years earlier than Asakusa, and her rank was not low.

Between contemplation, Xiaoling had already come to the side of Reed Ichiro.

She tugged at the corner of the reed's coat and looked curiously at Uda Daigo and the others.

"Ernie-chan, who are they?"

Reed Ichiro smiled and said, "The one in the hunting suit, named Uda Daigo, is a very powerful onmyoji.

The one next to him is his Shikami. ”

"Shikigami? Is it so old? "Xiaoling is also a child, and she says what she sees.

After hearing this, the simple old man was full of black lines.

Is it always wrong?

Who doesn't get old.

Daigo Uda, who was next to him, was already laughing so much that his abdominal muscles were cramping.

For a while, the atmosphere became lively.

Arakawa Ward, inside the old shrine, the atmosphere is heavy.

At the dimly lit staircase, the asters curled up in a ball, holding their knees and hanging their heads, motionless.

She wept silently, her crying staccato sound.

Daigo Uda's departure hit her hard.

"Ojisan, Aster is wrong."

"Shion swears, as long as you can come back, I will listen to you in the future."

"Please, don't leave me."

Recalling the bits and pieces of the past, it was like a hammer hitting her heart.

It hurts, it hurts.

That's right, Aster is an orphan.

(The setting of dog blood has begun.) )

She was abandoned before she was weaned, and it was Daigo Uda who picked her up and raised her.

Because it is an orphan relationship, Aster is very strong in his bones.

The mind is also much more mature than his peers.

At the same time, she is very talented in Yin-Yang Dao.

Uda Daigo was shocked at the time.

He knew very well that the Yin-Yang Dao Technique was not something that everyone could learn.

Only people with the blood of an onmyoji can master the art of yin and yang, and ordinary people are simply impossible.

From this, it can be found that Aster is not an ordinary child, and one of his parents must be an onmyoji.

The status and background of the Onmyoji, needless to say, must be better than ordinary families, no worse than some low-level rich second generations.

Therefore, Uda Daigo is very incomprehensible, why did her parents abandon her?

Shion is beautiful, intelligent, persevering, and highly gifted in Yin-Yang Dao, which occupies almost all the advantages.

Such a perfect person, abandoning her parents, was her head kicked by a donkey, or was she caught in the door!

None of that matters.

Anyway, it's cheaper Uda Daigo.

It is undeniable that Uda Daigo's love for Shion is meticulous.

As long as Aster wants, he can almost satisfy it.

In the past, Shion also used to stick to Uda Daigo.

No way, because she was young at the time.

When you grow up, it's different.

Shion knows where she comes from.

said that he didn't care at all that he was abandoned by his parents.

In fact, she has always taken this matter very seriously in her heart.

She didn't understand, why did her parents abandon her?

So, she has to prove herself and prove that she is no worse than anyone else.

Let them see, abandoning me on the spot, is the most wrong choice.

Later, she became an onmyoji as she wished.

It was from this time that her relationship with Uda Daigo became more and more estranged.

Coupled with the youkai cholera, Shion almost never returns to the shrine.

In this way, there is less time to spend with Daigo Uda.

Thinking back to her previous actions, Shion was very remorseful, and really wanted to slap herself hard.

"Ojisan~"

Shion continued to cry.

At this time, the phone inside the shrine rang.

Aster ignored it and continued to curl up.

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered and had to stop.

Within a few seconds, the phone in Shion's pocket buzzed.

Since last night, her mobile phone calls have not stopped.

But she didn't answer.

It's also said that when this kind of thing happens, no one is in the mood to pick it up.

The phone vibrates, and after a while, it gradually goes silent.

Daigo Uda, who was far away at the Reed Shrine, was anxious.

"Dead girl, why don't you take it!"

The old man in plain clothes said: "My lord, Miss Ziyuan is definitely not in the mood to answer the phone now, and she won't even glance at her mobile phone."

I think you'd better go there yourself. ”

Uda Daigo thought for a moment and quickly said, "What if she's not at home?" So, I'll try again. ”

"That'll do!" The old man in plain clothes spread his hands, "You keep working hard, I'll go out for a walk." ”

"Okay. This is not home, so don't wander around. Uda Daigo reminded.

"I know."

After speaking, the old man in plain clothes walked out of the room.

Daigo Uda pressed Shion's number again.

At this time, various cities in Japan were in great chaos.

Last night's ghost gate closed completely broke the original rhythm.

The ghost gate is closed, and the appearance looks like an archway, with an entity.

It belongs to the rules and cannot be destroyed by external forces.

So, I can only watch it stand, and there is nothing I can do.

Yesterday night alone, the number of people who were sucked in by the ghost gate was conservatively estimated to be between 10,000 and 30,000.

Among them, ordinary people account for more than ninety percent.

This time, the damage was really huge.

The other side.

In a spacious conference hall, there are more than 100 family governors from all over Japan.

At the front of the conference hall, there were ten white-haired old men.

They were gray-haired, long-bearded, with squinted eyes and friendly smiles on their faces.

In the Onmyoji circle, they are known as the Ten Elders, and their status is quite high, similar to an authoritative level existence.

"Gentlemen, please be quiet." One of the old men spoke.

There was no microphone or megaphone on the table, but the old man's voice was as loud and loud as a bell.

The next moment, the entire conference hall fell silent.

"You are called here today, and you should know it in your hearts.

Well, I'll cut it short. After deliberation among our ten elders, we decided to select some elites to go to the Ghost Domain.

Its main purpose is to prevent the appearance of the ghost gate. ”

As the words fell, the entire conference hall resounded with the sound of inhalation.

Everyone present knew it in their hearts.

Ghost Domain, the base camp of monsters.

Needless to say, the danger is nine deaths, or ten deaths.

With this extremely low survival rate, none of the family governors dared to take risks.

It's all moth to fire.

It's good to be able to stop it.

If you don't stop it, it's really going to die.

For a while, the atmosphere became very depressing.

No one dared to say anything immediately.

The ten elders still squinted, looking intriguing.
