Chapter VII: Right and Wrong
“?”
Seeing the signal of the person taking the lead, the group stopped. The group of people were all dressed in white Wu costumes, with some unknown patterns painted on them, like a collection of colorful clouds and snakes. And the Wu costume is covered with a variety of animal skins to protect against the cold of winter.
"Otomo-sama?"
The subordinates behind him asked the leader, who was a sturdy middle-aged man with a straight knife on his back, and he looked a little old.
The man in the lead clearly felt the feeling of aristocracy, although he looked only in his twenties, he reflected that kind of bearing in his temperament and gestures, and he also wore the only long sword in the whole team.
"Be careful, there's a fire ahead. I guess it's a place that has been attacked by youkai again. ”
This team is sent by the official family to exterminate monsters, and it can't be compared with a professional exorcism team. But they can still deal with some ordinary monsters, after all, with the support of the official family, they will not be so short of exorcism supplies.
"Richia, uncle, you two go and investigate first."
Two men in the group walked out, saluted the young man, and then immediately hurried over there.
"Others, take out all the magic weapons. Be careful. ”
"Yes, sir."
Everyone took out their weapons or spells, ready to deal with unknown risks.
"If you are a child, please be careful. In case something happens to you, it's hard to explain. ”
The old man who was next to the nobleman whispered to the young nobleman named Obanwaka, but he was unmoved.
"Uncle Ghost Mountain, monsters are rampant, I can't wait for nothing."
"Xiaomin doesn't need you to come, just leave it to Lao Yu and the others."
"Hah! Xiaomin doesn't ask us to wait for the house, so who else do you ask? I don't want to die under the roof! If I had the skills that Uncle Kiyama and the Monobe clan had taught me, I would only die at the hands of the Great Youkai! ”
Ghost Mountain didn't speak, just sighed. Then he took out his own demon mirror, so as not to have a monster mixed into Ruojia's side.
……
……
……
Elle came back with a bunch of branches, but all she saw was the burning house.
There is no need for firewood, and neither do the people inside.
She stared blankly at the heat wave in front of her, and the branch she was holding fell a little, but she didn't notice it, just stared at it in a daze.
"Hey! Gremlin! What happened? ”
The middle-aged man with a beard on his face ran to Erri's side first, carrying a knife to guard the area.
Then he followed another young man in his twenties, who was silently reciting something, and the drawing talisman in his hand was flickering little by little.
“……”
Erlie didn't answer them, and stared blankly at the house, not seeming to notice her tears.
"Tsk! Uncle, did you find anything? ”
The man in the prime of life seemed to be Richia, and he asked the young man who had spoken silently.
"There are traces of demonic power, but I can't tell ...... Wait a minute! ”
The frequency at which the light of the drawing talisman shines is a little faster.
"What's wrong?"
"It's the blonde youkai of that time! Hurry up and inform your lordship, I'll delay first! ”
When Riccia heard this, he didn't say a word, turned around and ran.
Uncle Tooth protected Erlie behind him, facing the most obvious place where the talisman was drawn.
"Leigh!"
Yakumo Zi jumped out from the gap that suddenly opened opposite his uncle's tooth, he immediately took a pose, chanted a mantra in his mouth, and six runes hung in front of him, looking at Yakumo Zi with a solemn face.
"Sure enough, it's you, Yakumo Murasaki!"
"Why are you here?"
Yakumo Murasaki was a little surprised, she didn't expect the exorcist to come here.
She came over by chance and wanted to visit the family during the day. When I walked to the road, I suddenly asked about the smell of burnt air in the air, and when I looked at it from a gap, I only found a burning room.
Yakumo's first reaction was that Erri's family had been attacked by youkai, and recently there have been some villages that have been attacked by youkai, and many humans have been killed by youkai. She was afraid that Ellie would not be able to resist the monsters, so she ran over to help.
But now that she has come, she has not found a monster, but an exorcist is waiting for her.
Erlie finally reacted, turning her head to look at Purple.
Purple's heart twisted together. Erlie's tears flowed uncontrollably, and her cute little face turned pale, her mouth slightly open, feeling like she was going to say something, but it looked like she was crying.
He held countless branches in his hands, his already tattered clothes were scratched a few times, and there were some blood marks on his arms. There were still a number of branches scattered under her feet, and there was a lot of mud on her feet, and the ankle was still bleeding, and it seemed that she had run too fast and fell and fell on the stone.
"Leigh, what's going on?"
Purple asked with a shudder, and Erri's voice was even more heartbreaking.
“… Purple..."
It is like a chick falling on the grass and being taken away by a fox, and screaming at its parents.
"Yakumo Purple, what's going on?"
Seeing this, Shuya also knew that this matter might have nothing to do with Yakumo Purple, so he relaxed a little.
"I don't know..."
"Uncle, how is it here!"
Richard ran over with a knife in hand, and the team of exorcists arrived behind him.
"It's Yakumo Murasaki!"
"Everyone, prepare!"
The people around were ready to set up the magic weapon and get rid of Yakumo Purple directly.
"Stop!"
Ruojia shouted and ordered the people around him to stop, and the team was stunned.
Oniyama leaned next to him and signaled, after all, Yakumo Murasaki's ability was too dangerous, and for humans, it was a force that could not be controlled at all
"My lord, this..."
"I say, stop!"
Ghost Mountain couldn't say anything anymore, so he had to retreat and scold those who were ready to attack.
"Uncle, what's going on?"
"Ome-sama, I came here to observe on your orders, and I sensed the demonic power of Yakumo Murasaki. But the matter here has nothing to do with her, this little girl is a member of this family, and there seems to be something hidden. ”
Ruojia looked at Erli, and he felt a little unbearable.
Ghost Mountain and some veteran exorcists didn't believe her, there were many monsters who learned to disguise, and there were many monsters who used this disguise to harm people, and two disciples of Ghost Mountain died at the hands of this kind of monster.
So, Ghost Mountain directly took out the demon mirror and aimed it at Erli.
"The demons are in trouble, the world is uneven, I want to relieve my life and kill the demon in the mirror."
"Ghost Mountain, what are you doing!"
Ruojia called out, but still looked in the mirror.
It's still Elle's body, but on her forehead, there is an extra closed eye, and it doesn't look like a human, but resembles an insect.
"That's it, youkai?"
Ruojia glanced at Ellie in disbelief, but Ellie still had that heartbreaking expression.
"There are people in that house, who have been burned to death."
Ghost Mountain saw the black body inside and added
"Damn...... It's a youkai! ”
Uncle Ya saw Erli in the demon mirror, and directly raised his left hand, knocking Erli away with one palm.
"Leigh!"
Erli didn't watch out and was directly punched into the house. Purple just saw that when Ellie flew out, she spit out a mouthful of blood.
"You guy!"
Three demonic power beams shot directly at Shuya, and six runes were directly penetrated, hitting Shuya's body.
"Goo!"
As if he had been hit by a battering ram, like a shrimp, he knelt on the ground in pain, and his internal organs were stirred to pieces.
"Uncle! Damn, kill her! ”
If the family saw that Shuya was directly paralyzed there, he directly gave an order.
Yakumo didn't say anything, just with that angry expression, she opened a dozen gaps, ready to cast the magic cannon.
Sensing a strong surge of demonic power, all the exorcists unsheathed their magic weapons and prepared to meet her attack.
"I'm going to get rid of you lunatics for Li's sake!"
"Crazy? When you slaughtered humans, why didn't you think about what we thought of you? ”
Otomo Wakaya pulled out his long sword, which was tattooed with a pattern, and he aimed the tip of the sword at Yakumo Murasaki, and the pattern shone like gold. He looked at Yakumo Murasaki with chagrin
"In addition to you, it can be regarded as revenge for this family!"
The exorcist with the long knife rushed directly towards Yakumo Murasaki. Behind them, however, took out the runes and prepared to attack her from a distance.
"Die!"
Several magic cannons shot out, hitting the two people who rushed in front on the spot, and they were directly blown aside. Hitting the distant ones had no effect, and the runes they used barely blocked the attack of the magic cannon.
"Kill her! Avenge your friends! ”
The remaining five people went straight to Yakumo Purple. Someone rushed ahead of her, and she stepped back, swallowing her and the long knife in the gap.
"Ah——!!!h
A gap appeared in the man's back, and his long knife slashed at himself, digging directly into the flesh of his shoulder, moving downward without hindrance, slicing off his arm.
"Damn! Ghost Mountain, I'll fix her! ”
"Got it, sir!"
Ghost Mountain was also anxious, and most of the second team that fought with her last time died. If there is no way, the young master of his own family may also die here.
"I'm sorry! I'll set up a formation with Shrimpman, and you and Ashiyoshi will help me block that monster's attack! ”
"Got it, master!"
Shrimp Man and Ghost Mountain sat down and waved five runes each. The ten runes formed a ten-sided shape, firmly locking Yakumo and the space they were in.
"Goo!"
Shrimp Man spat out a mouthful of blood directly, but did not fall. And the ghost mountain is sweating profusely.
"Senior brother!"
"Leave me alone! Watch out for that youkai! That's not what the guys in the second team say! ”
Shrimp swallowed a mouthful of blood and gritted his bloody teeth to stare at the battle situation on the other side.
"Uncle Ghost Mountain, what's going on!"
Seeing this, the eldest companion was in a hurry.
“… This witch's demonic power is not at all the same as it was in the previous months... But you can still hold on, you guys hurry up! ”
"Damn, you're staying here!"
Without waiting for these people to react, Ruojia directly rushed over with his sword.
"Lord Wakaya!"
Oniyama screamed, but in order to maintain this sealing array, he could only watch as the Otomo family rushed over.
“… It's this trick again... I thought I killed all those array mages..."
Yakumo had just tried to drill back into the gap, but was controlled by the sealing technique. The gap kept struggling, but had to be closed. A stunned look, a knife slashed her waist, and her white Wu clothes suddenly bloomed a flower of blood.
She used her demonic power to kick the person's hand off directly, and then took a few steps back with one hand on her waist. And the four people followed directly, without giving her the slightest chance to rest.
“… Oops..."
That sword seemed to be attached with a little power, disrupting part of Yakumo's demonic power. Now she was gasping for air, not having a weapon to take advantage of.
"I'll take your life, youkai!"
Rixia rushed straight up, ready to cut off Yakumo's head with a single sword.
The demon power hasn't been adjusted yet, what should I do?
Is it really going to die here?
She closed her eyes and waited for the knife to fall.
A purple streamer flashed in front of Yakumo Murasaki, and with a bang, it made people's eardrums feel the pain of tearing.
Sparks erupted from where the swords intersected, and Erlie leaned on, slashing her knife directly in front of Richia's sword.
"Leigh!"
Yakumo screamed happily, but then she was pulled by the wound and took a breath in pain.
Erli didn't speak, but the Jingyue knife in her hand obviously shone with that demonic light.
