Ayako's father's Shikigami is a bird youkai with a physical body, like an enlarged version of an owl. After being summoned, he turned his round head to look at Shang Biao and the others, and then he cooed, straightened his claws, and let them come up.

Ayako seems to have a good relationship with the monster, dragging the owl's feathers up her back and standing side by side with her father. Shang Biao and the others didn't have such a good treatment, so they could only hold the owl demon's claws as thick as beams.

Seeing that they all came up, the owl demon's broad wings were inciting, the earth and ashes were stirring, the grass and trees were tilted, and the group quickly disappeared into the sky.

This time, I didn't go back to Rokuhe Castle, but Bikai County, where the Imagawa family's fiefdom was located, and the Shikigami 'Rokuhe' was also enshrined here.

On the way, Shang Biao told Ayako's father, Koji Imagawa, about his experience after falling off the cliff, focusing on the important role played by his Shikijin in this, blocking the attack of the evil Shimosai Onmyoji with his life, and escaping by jumping into the river with himself.

Originally, with Imagawa Ryosuke's strength, he was not qualified to participate in the operation to contain Shang Biao, he was just a low-level low-level onmyoji.

However, because of the special needs of the Four Purple Yang Enchantments, and the Imagawa family's Kinakawa family's turtle-form gods and powerful onmyoji are all in the clan to help 'Liuhe' resist the pollution of demon blood, Imagawa Masao chose to let Imagawa Ryosuke and the other three people take the top.

Therefore, Shang Biao could only attribute the reason for the lucky escape to the dead turtle monster and make the most reasonable explanation possible.

Fortunately, Koji Imagawa didn't ask much, politely comforted him, and promised to apply for compensation with the family.

At sunset, the owl lands in front of an ordinary-looking village that is the fiefdom of the Imagawa family.

The outer periphery is inhabited by some Imagawa people who are unable to become onmyoji, and the further you go inside, the density of the houses gradually decreases.

Some commercial buildings began to appear, such as grocery stores, cooking houses, flower shops, cloth mills, etc.

"Alright, let's separate here, Seibei you send Ryosuke home first. And it's best not to leave the fiefdom these days, maybe the patriarch will summon you. ”

After Koji Imagawa finished speaking, he left with his daughter, leaving only a few people at the crossroads.

With the other three leading the way, it just solved the dilemma that Shang Biao couldn't go home.

Turning right at the intersection and walking a short distance, Kiyobei Imagawa, who had taken the lead, stopped in front of a typical Japanese-style courtyard with a small two-story wooden building.

An ordinary-looking woman was absentmindedly grabbing mulberry leaves to feed the white silkworms in the basket, and when she heard the footsteps, she looked up and saw Shang Biao and a few people, and cried out in surprise. Stepping on the clogs, he hurriedly opened the door.

"Brother Kiyobei, Hideo, Kagawa, let's go in and have a cup of tea together."

Shang Biao estimated that this should be Imagawa Ryosuke's home, and invited him.

"Next time, I won't bother you."

Imagawa Kiyobei waved his hand and returned with Hideo and Kagawa Hara.

"Ryosuke, is the injury serious?"

Seeing the guests leaving, Ryosuke Imagawa's mother couldn't help but cry and asked.

"It's okay, it's just that I've lost some energy, I'm a little hungry."

"Okay, that's good, I don't know if you'll be back today, I only prepared some rice balls for dinner, what else do you want to eat."

"Let's cook another bowl of miso soup, I won't be able to eat your best miso soup in the future."

Shang Biao joked lightly in Ryosuke Imagawa's usual tone, and slowly walked into the courtyard.

"Liuhe blesses, don't talk nonsense."

Ryosuke's mother finally relieved her son when she saw that her son did not have any serious external injuries and went to the kitchen to prepare a meal for him.

After Shang Biao finished eating, he found his room, didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and just closed his eyes and rested quietly.

Not long ago, he had received a notification that the second main quest had been completed, and now all that left was how to obtain one of the twelve gods through his current identity.

There is no need to think about Liuhe, and it is estimated that the Imagawa family has been quite strict with Liuhe for a long time.

It's rare that there is no time for the main mission this time, and Shang Biao is not too anxious, after all, it is a nine-star film. Although the death calamity has been eliminated, there is no guarantee that something bad will happen again.

The immediate priority now is to recover from his injuries as soon as possible, which may require borrowing the convenience of Ayako Shimokawa to obtain the medicine he desperately needs.

It can be seen that Miss Ayako has a good relationship with Ryosuke Imagawa, as long as Shang Biao is careful, it should not be difficult to deceive this little girl who is not deeply involved in the world.

Thoughts rolled in my head, and before I knew it, I fell asleep.

Waking up again was already the moment of the sunrise's birth, and after eating a simple rice ball breakfast, he walked to the backyard alone and practiced the two seals of 'Lin, Bing' in the nine-character mantra without using his mana.

The calm time passed in a flash, and half a month later, Shang Biao's injuries had basically healed under the passive supplementation of the Heavenly Divine Flame. During this period, he only went out every three days at night to replenish the blood needed for painting, and the rest of the time was hidden in the Imagawa clan.

That morning, Ayako took the initiative to come to the door and bring him good news.

Regarding the compensation for his death, the clan decided to open a subordinate god offering garden to him. Whether or not he can get the approval of the Shikijin inside depends on his own ability.

The so-called lower-level god offering garden, which is captive is some weak lower-type gods recovered by the Imagawa clan over the years.

Shikigami is divided into, lower, middle, upper, and legendary 'gods'. And the level of the onmyoji is the same as the style of the god, and the level of the style of the god is the class of the onmyoji. And the onmyoji who has contracted the gods is called the heavenly master.

The inheritance gods of the Twelve Divine Families are all Shikigami who are beyond the upper rank and infinitely close to the 'god' class, so the patriarchs of the twelve families are all called 'pseudo' celestial masters.

However, there is only one person in each clan of this 'pseudo' celestial master, because no matter what level of Shikishen is, he can only respond to the call of one person at a time.

However, the Yin-Yang Divine Palace has a true 'god' level god, so the twelve families will worship the Yin-Yang Divine Palace as the main and obey the dispatch of the contemporary Yin-Yang Heavenly Master.

Shang Biao recalled the background of the plot world through the Imagawa Family Library in the past half a month, and understood what this subordinate god offering garden was.

After he and Han Eri merged, he was able to defeat the high-ranking god crow Tengu and Imagawa Masao, which was enough to prove that his strength was also comparable to that of the upper onmyoji. Now, unless he contracts with the Twelve Gods, the garbage of the Lower Rank Gods really doesn't really work for him.

This is also the reason why Shang Biao did not rush to receive compensation within the clan after understanding the comparison between his current strength and the characters in the plot.

He was not in a hurry, but Ayako never gave up, and he had been pestering Koji Imagawa, who had some power in the clan, and finally won him a chance to enter the lower type god offering garden.
