"Please."

The temple elder reached out and pointed to the place at his side.

"Thank you."

Lan Sui bowed slightly, and sat cross-legged directly after the salute. Xu Yuluo sat a little further back next to Lan Sui, kneeling on his knees.

"So, let's continue with the conversation?" The temple elder asked with a smile towards the four demons.

Continue***!

Despite not being mind-reading, their countenances were indeed as if they were to say such words.

With mischievous thoughts, Lan Sui turned his head sideways and asked the temple elder beside him with a smile, "Dare to ask, what were you talking about before?" I'd like to hear about it, and maybe I can help with it. ”

"It's not a big deal."

The temple elder waved his hand, looking meaningless.

The four demons seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, as if they had just been discussing what to eat for lunch, the temple elder said in a very flat tone:

"It's just a discussion, our five city-level monsters will unite to control you. Then, on the surface, use your identity to resist foreign enemies. In fact, you can create a small monster country. ”

"Oh, that's right." Lan nodded casually.

Touching his chin, he turned his head playfully. Look at the four youkai with shocked faces.

"Red monsters, obscene, hungry skeletons, and Onmora ghosts."

Lan Sui looked at the four demons in front of him and nodded over one by one. He asked, "Are you so unwilling?" ”

"Or ......"

He leaned forward, supported his chin with one hand, stared at the four demons, and said with a smile: "Or say, after we have done a battle between us, you will die one or two monsters."

Will you die? ”

Hearing this, the irascible red monster clenched his fists and almost stood up.

However, after the transformation, it was the Minotaur who grabbed its arm naked.

"Don't dare, Lan Sui's methods, we saw a little bit yesterday." Lewdly bowed his head as if apologizing.

"Isn't it exciting?"

Lan Sui touched the top of Xu Yuluo's head beside him, "I still have this child's duel." ”

"Smack!"

Xu Yuluo unceremoniously slapped Lan Sui's hand away.

On the one hand, it is due to the unhappiness of Lan Sui's movements. And then there's his words.

A great showdown?

No kidding, yesterday was obviously a crushing game.

It's just that when I didn't think of it. Yesterday, in addition to Abe Qingming, Smoke, and others watching the battle on the sidelines, there were also temple elders and four demons watching the battle here.

Lan Sui knew it, but he didn't say it at the time.

But it's at this moment.

What can you say about obscenity?

Wonderful, indeed wonderful.

It's so wonderful that their hands and feet are cold and they don't know how to deal with themselves. I even want to escape from the mountain and the city immediately.

Xu Yuluo, their two big demons are comparable.

However, what about Lan Sui, who crushed Xu Yuluo?

They don't know.

However, what if you add the same mysterious temple elder?

Is it possible to spell it out.

As a youkai, it's unlikely that he's on the side of humans.

And so there was this conversation. But when I didn't expect it, Lan Sui came so quickly. What I didn't expect was that the temple elder stood in line between three words.

They were instantly embarrassed.

Ask for your own hardships.

The words that came from the Eastern Soil were understood so profoundly for the first time in the hearts of the four demons at this moment.

The naked did not answer, the red monster was forced to bow its head, and the hungry skeleton and the Onmora ghost were silent.

Lan nodded his knee with a snap.

To be honest, for a moment, he wanted to simply kill all the four demons in front of him. It's really not okay, and it's okay to ban it.

However, it is still an old problem.

He couldn't help but consider the feelings of the temple elders around him.

The rabbit is dead and the fox is sad, and the lips are dead and the teeth are cold.

There are too many events in history, and Lan Sui doesn't want to repeat them. Moreover, in the future, there will be a need for them. The strength around Lan Sui is not enough.

But you can't put it down so gently. Who knows if these four demons will have other thoughts in the future.

In the midst of a flash of heartbeat, Lan thought of a solution, and then said:

"Leave your names behind."

The eyes of the hungry skeleton and the demon of the Inmora suddenly sank, and they didn't know what was brewing in their hearts.

It won't be a good thing anyway.

However, Lan Sui also left a leeway and said, "Don't worry, I won't take your name." ”

He turned his head sideways, asked the temple elder who had been hanging up for a long time, and asked:

"How about leaving you there?"

"Oh?"

The temple elder raised his eyebrows, with a smile of unknown meaning on his face.

Leaving a name is a very particular thing in Dongying.

Speaking of this, the most originating point is also related to Ampery Qingming.

The concept of mantras proposed by him.

Mantras are not reciting incomprehensible, obscure words.

In his concept, mantras are ordinary words.

For example:

Single dogs deserve dog food!

Fat houses just don't have human rights!

Today is Tanabata and you don't have a girlfriend!

How Yang, I felt a pain in my heart when I saw it.

Actually, it's also a kind of mantra.

To put it simply, the words that come out of the mouth are recorded in words, which are mantras.

It can be said that the reason why Ampei Qingming can be promoted to the land level is that his understanding of mantras has a lot to do with the concept.

And, among all the mantras, the simplest mantra is the name.

In the concept of Onmyoji, your name is your reliance in the world. Because of your name, people will remember you. If you don't even have a name, you are basically invisible in this world, or you are dead.

So, for that point.

Don't tell people their names.

The paper with your name written by you should not be thrown around, so as not to be picked up by people with ulterior motives to control you.

Now, Lan Sui asked the four demons to write their names with their own hands, and then handed over the paper, which was tantamount to tying a rope that could kill them at any time to their necks, and the other end was the owner Lan Sui.

Therefore, when Fang Cai, Lan Sui had such a proposal, the four demons almost had to fight to the death.

Youkai are never slaves!

Uh, no.

Anyway, you can't be a slave to human beings when you die.

However, Lan Sui showed the back move.

Give the names of the four demons to the temple elder.

Well, this proposal seems to be a little less unacceptable to them.

And, Lan Sui's back hand is also quite interesting.

The four demons came to discuss with the temple elders, this is, up.

Lan Sui made trouble, and the temple was as old as a bell.

In the end, Lan Sui proposed that the fate of the four demons be controlled by the temple elder, which was the result.

It's no wonder that the temple elder smiled and looked at Lan Sui for a long time, but he still nodded.

The temple elder agreed to Lan Sui's proposal here.

However, the four demons are not convinced!

"You don't have a choice, either you die here, or you leave your name behind." Feeling the resentment of the four demons, Lan Sui was too lazy to say anything with a cold face. Directly threatened.

The longer you live, the more afraid you are of death.

That's all there are these monsters, not to mention the ones who have sealed themselves since the last time the aura was eliminated in order to have an after-effect.

They are capable of.

However, it can only go so far.

Practice, cultivate the mind.

The body must be cultivated, and the heart must be cultivated, otherwise it will only end up being unpopular with others.

To be reasonable, if the four demons resist to the death, Lan Sui may be able to look up to them a little. However, in the end, the four demons finally left their names and handed them over to the temple elder.

The moment they saw the temple elder accept the name, the four demons were all relieved, but they seemed to have taken away all their spirits. With a depressed expression, he left the ancient temple.

Smoke came in to clean up, re-lay the cushions, and make a new pot of tea.

Waiting for Yanyan Luo to slowly withdraw, the old man of the temple took the tea leisurely and said with a smile:

"Xiaoyou is getting more and more domineering."

"It's not that I'm domineering."

Lan Sui shook his head, "It's just that there are too many shoulders on my shoulders now that I can't relax in the slightest." ”

There are millions of people in Natsuki City and nearly 10 million people in Hyogo Prefecture. However, if it doesn't matter if he sees them die due to his own negligence, then his heart will probably become stone.

"Yes."

Nodding clearly, the temple elder didn't say anything.

The matter of the four demons has been revealed.

As for their names, it is up to the temple elders to judge whether to use them.

Finally, as to whether the temple elder would be on the opposite side of Lan Sui that day......

To be honest, he couldn't have predicted.

However, it is now known that the interests of them coincide.

The temple elder wants a peaceful life, and Lan Sui wants a stable environment. Under such a premise, they naturally stand together.

After drinking a cup of tea, Lan Sui also took the initiative to say his purpose.

"This one next to me, a flower planter, a walking disciple of Shushan, Xu Yuluo."

"Hello." Xu Yuluo bowed slightly.

"Hello." The temple elder returned the salute.

"I'm going to go out tomorrow, maybe in a few days. In case the affairs of Natsuki City are difficult to deal with, the temple elder can ask her to help solve it together. ”

That's what he said, but the subtext is nothing more than that if there is something that Xu Yuluo can't deal with, the temple elder should also do his best.

Speak without being thorough.

This has its own tradition, whether it is planting flowers or Dongying.

Xu Yuluo and the temple elder glanced at each other, and naturally knew Lan Sui's purpose.

"Then please, Xu Xiaoyou will give me more advice in the next few days." The temple elder said this, which is regarded as an errand that should be inherited.

"Don't dare."

Outside, Xu Yuluo's etiquette is still impeccable.

In any case, Shushan walking has its own style.

The most important thing has been done, and then Lan Sui casually chatted with the temple elder about the recent situation, which is nothing more than chaos. There are many sects, there are true inheritors, and there are also speculators who cheat money.

The Toei government is not without management, but there are always places where the sun is difficult to shine, and darkness is quietly growing.

Taking advantage of this topic, the temple elder also asked the doubts in his heart:

"Xiaoyou, you should also be in charge of a sect, why don't you see you move?"

Lan Sui, who was drinking tea, had a meal in his hand.

Then he smiled and said, "The time has not come." ”

I didn't elaborate on that.

After that, the temple elder naturally wanted to stay here to eat. However, he was rejected by Lan Sui, not to mention the things at home. Besides, Xu Yuluo next to her couldn't let her go around the mountains like this when she came to Dongying.

Out of the ancient temple, Lan Sui looked at Xu Yuluo and asked:

"Is there anything you'd like to see?"

"Hmm~"

Xu Yuluo rubbed his chin with his fingers and thought for a while. Then his eyes lit up, and he hooked his finger towards Lan Sui, signaling him to lean down.

Just the two of them, it is necessary to be so secret~

Lan Sui couldn't laugh or cry, but he also lowered his body.

Then, Xu Yuluo whispered four words in his ear.

"Hmmm?!!"

Lan suddenly flicked his body, and turned his head to look at Xu Yuluo, his face full of surprise.

I was about to ask:

"Why do you want to go there?"

But suddenly I thought of something, and counted today's day. Random's face became a little helpless, and he asked:

"You're so boring?"

"Hey, hey."

Xu Yuluo covered his mouth and smiled, but he kept silent.

All right......

Although the bad taste is very heavy, Lan Sui is not aware of being hooked.

It's just that at this time period, Lan Sui, who is a city-level, wants to go to another guardian's city will cause a certain misunderstanding.

Fortunately, the destination is in Tokyo, so you can just talk to Abe Harumi. The two of them won't be in that place for much longer, either.

It's just that Ampei Qingming also pondered for a long time when he received Lan Sui's request, and asked:

"It won't cause any damage to the local area."

"I'm going to demolish it, I'm going to demolish it." Lan Sui rolled her eyes.

Well, there is no more reason for it to be sufficient, so that Ampei Qingming agreed after pondering for a long time.

How long does it take for two city-level masters to travel from Natsuki City to the capital of the Far East?

The average person takes about two hours by train.

It only takes a few dozen minutes by car.

For them, it only takes a few minutes. It's almost the same as riding a small electric motorcycle from home to the mahjong parlor agreed upon by a friend.

In a flash, the two were already standing in front of a shrine.

Of course, the Hana family, which is only across the strait, is more accustomed to calling this shrine a shrine.

That's right, it's the Yasukuni Shrine toilet at the top of the daimyo!

Logically speaking, the scenery here is good, surrounded by ancient courtyards, big trees, cornices, and there is no noise. If it weren't for the war criminals enshrined in it, it would be a tourist destination.

Unfortunately, it has become a place where politics and faith intertwin.

It doesn't have the effect of the rest of the shrines to cleanse the mind, but it makes people feel disgusting.

However, fortunately, Lan Sui and Xu Yuluo are actually disgusting when they come here today.

"Jingle bell!"

Before he stepped into the shrine, the mobile phone in Lan Sui's pocket had already begun to ring.

When I took it out, it was really the name I imagined.

It seems that someone has finally reminded him.

After all, the old antique only knows the approximate events of recent history, and does not confirm the exact time.

Pressing the answer button, I heard Amp Pei Qingming rarely use a tired voice, saying:

"You're such a boring person?"

"yes!"

Lan Sui nodded and admitted without hesitation.

The other end of the conversation was suddenly swallowed by Lan Sui's words.

How can he pick it up!

After thinking about it for a long time, I could only say one sentence: "Go back early after the end, don't cause me a conflict!" ”

"Well, you're going to have to keep those people down. Otherwise, I'm afraid they'll do something to me. Lan Sui looked at the priest inside the shrine, intentionally or unintentionally looking at himself and Xu Yuluo.

The expressions on their faces always look a little hideous from time to time.

And, the reason~

Because, today is August 15th.

Today in history is the day of Dongying's full surrender.

Tsk, use the day of surrender to look at these criminals who died for Dongying. A faint emotion with feelings is so strong in my heart.
