"Ryosuke-san, you don't seem to be very happy?"

Ayako looked at Shang Biao's expression and asked suspiciously.

"No, I'm just a little worried about whether I can get the approval of Shikigami in the offering garden."

Shang Biao and Ayako got acquainted with each other and knew that she was simple-minded and didn't think too much, so she didn't deliberately disguise it.

"Hee-hee, it's okay, I've got a good thing for you, see what this is!"

Ayako opened the package she had been carrying, and inside was dried fish that Shang Biao didn't know.

"What is this?"

"Cohosino is the cat's favorite food. I once helped Granny Ma feed the Shikijin in the garden.

All you have to do is take these cosinos and find the habitat that feeds the cats in the garden, including a little guy named Yoshimaru.

Give it these silvereyes, and then mention my name, and the gluttonous will definitely make a pact with you. ”

Ayako grinned and repacked the package and handed it to Shang Biao, revealing a smug expression that was about to praise me.

"Okay, then thank you Ayako."

Shang Biao did not refuse the kindness of this silly girl, put away the package, and walked with her towards the offering garden.

Along the way, I chatted with Ayako casually about some trivial matters in the clan, and after walking for more than an hour, the two arrived at the back mountain of the Imagawa clan's settlement.

"Mother-in-law Mafei, I'm coming to see you again."

Enchantments are set up everywhere on this mountain, and outsiders can't trespass in, and Shikigami inside can't escape.

There is only one trail up the mountain, and a small single-storey wooden house is built at the bottom of the mountain.

"It's Ayako, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I heard that you learned about pharmacists with Nanako. How can you have time to come to me today, are you thinking about those Shikjin in the mountains again? ”

An old woman with gray hair walked out of the house, exuding a faint demonic aura on her body, as if some kind of monster blood was implanted in her body.

"I've been busy lately, but I'm not the one who went into the mountains today. The clan gave Brother Ryosuke a chance to enter the offering garden, which was a talisman. ”

Ayako took out a palm-sized Liuhe Crystal, the old woman took it and looked at it, took out a piece of talisman paper cut into a villain from her body and handed it to Shang Biao.

"You must leave before dark, and activate this rune paper when you encounter danger, but once you use it, you will be teleported out by the enchantment."

Putting the paper figure away, the old woman told Shang Biao the general location of some of the larger Shikami groups, and then he said hello to Ayako and set out on the path into the mountain alone.

After walking not far, Shang Biao felt as if he had passed through a transparent spatial barrier before he encountered the first Shikigami.

"Onmyoji-sama, do you need help? With just five rice balls, I'll take you anywhere on this mountain. ”

A young mountain boy resembling an ape, with only one eye, jumped down from the tree and stopped in front of Shang Biao.

Through the collection of books in the house of Ryosuke Imagawa and Ayako, he also learned a lot about some common Shikikami.

After meeting the mountain boy, he subconsciously recalled the introduction of this Shikigami.

Fierce attributes, about three to five times the strength of ordinary humans in adulthood, not good at fighting, docile personality, love to play pranks, like to eat balls. Occasionally, he will appear during the day to help woodcutters who go into the mountains to cut wood in exchange for food.

"Take me to the habitat of the Cat Clan, and by the way, where is the most powerful Shikijin in this mountain?"

Shang Biao put his hand into the package, took out a few rice balls from the movie ticket and threw them over.

"Haha, stupid, you've been deceived!"

The mountain boy threw the rice ball thrown by Shang Biao into his mouth, grimaced at him, and sneered sneeringly at the tree next to him like a nimble little squirrel.

Is it a prank?

Shang Biao's mana flowed, and the pentagram was instantly formed in his hands, ready to teach this despicable imp a lesson. However, before the pentagram was released, he hesitated again and dispersed the spell.

It's better to be careful, it's not good to make a big move and be noticed, and the Imagawa clan must have some means to monitor here.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Shang Biao no longer paid attention to the mountain boy chattering behind him, and walked forward along the mountain road.

The farther you go into the mountains, the more demonic aura becomes.

Shang Biao is a bold artist, so he naturally doesn't care about this demonic spirit. I thought in my heart that I was coming, and it would be a pity not to charge a Shikigami.

Although the subordinate Shikkai's strength has not improved much, if he encounters a Shikigami with a strange ability, it will not be in vain.

Therefore, he did not stop and walked directly along the mountain road.

He was right, as Ayako Imagawa and the old woman she called Granny Mafei at the foot of the mountain were looking at him through a mirror polished by the Crystal of the Six Combinations.

"Oops, Brother Ryosuke missed the territory of the Cat Clan!"

Ayako Imagawa frowned and said anxiously.

"I know that your little girl will help him cheat, but it seems that he doesn't want to accept your favor."

The old woman looked at Ayako amusedly, and opened her mouth to laugh.

Ayako pouted and complained dissatisfiedly: "Brother Ryosuke is really, you know that you are strong, and it was the same last time." Obviously he doesn't have any strength, but he wants to participate in such a dangerous operation. ”

The old woman, Concubine Ma, said good things for Shang Biao: "He is a man after all, if he relies on you to obtain the Shishen God, even if others don't know, he will look down on himself in his heart."

You don't have to worry about him, judging from the pentagram just now, his basic skills are still good, and he may not be able to rely on his own strength to obtain the approval of Shikishen.

After all, the Shikigami of the Offering Garden is not a wild Shikigami outside, and since he was able to obtain Shikigami alone and become an Onmyoji before, he will not do anything uncertain now. ”

"It's not good, it's 'Nozo', Brother Ryosuke, hide quickly!"

Ayako just wanted to say something more, but she saw a thrilling scene in the mirror, and involuntarily reminded. Then he remembered that he couldn't hear it, so he could only look at Shang Biao in the mirror with an anxious face.

"Pro~"

Shang Biao turned around unhurriedly in the face of the attack from behind, and with the mantra of Huang Zhong Dalu, he knocked the monster that attacked him to the ground with one blow.

"Are you good at sneaking up on the blood-sucking 'wild suckers'?"

Looking at the Shikishen on the ground like a weasel, with eyes like rabbits, and a pair of featherless meat wings attached to his arms, about one foot two or three inches, with a white tail and gray hair, Shang Biao recalled its name.

Although it's a monster with the 'dark' attribute and the 'fierce' attribute, he can't even take a single trick of his own, and he's not interested in contracting as a Shikigami.

It seems that after returning to normal luck, it is really impossible for him to meet the stupid rabbit who takes the initiative to hit the stone. With a sigh in his heart, Shang Biao left the half-dead wild coat and continued to move forward.

"Good boy, don't you even look down on the 'wild man'?"

The old woman couldn't help but sigh for his heart when she saw Shang Biao abandoning the wild clothes on the ground and still walking forward.
