To be honest, if it weren't for Old Man Ikeda leading the way, Razen and Anne would never have imagined that the dilapidated shack in front of them would be an ancient shrine. It's because the house in front of you is so dilapidated, and the torii gate, where the vermilion paint has been completely peeled, is erected at the bottom of the mountain, and the tiles on the top of the shrine have long since fallen clean. The walls outside the shrine are not much better than those of the torii, except for a few holes, the color of the walls has also dropped a lot, and there is a dilapidated smell inside and outside the house.

There are only two old emas on the shelves outside the house, and the bluestone road in front of the shrine is cracked. However, although it is dilapidated, and a dead leaf falls from time to time in the air, most of the places on the ground have been swept away, and it is obvious that someone is still maintaining this place.

In fact, it is hard to imagine that the people of this village have been dominated by fear, and it is really puzzling that no one cares about the place in front of them to ask God and Buddha.

Off topic, back to the text.

Lei Chan and Anne didn't understand what the old man Ikeda was doing with him to this dilapidated place, but the old man didn't turn around, and they didn't bother to ask more.

I saw the old man Ikeda walk to the front of the shrine, shake the bell and shout, "Old woman! Come out! ”

The poor bell, which symbolizes the 'sound of the divine realm', has been reduced to a doorbell-like existence in the old man's hands.

It didn't take long for an old woman's voice to come from the back of the shrine: "You old bastard again, what are you doing here?" ”

Although the conversation was not very polite, Lei Chan and Anne could see that the two were definitely old friends. Based on the performance of the old man Ikeda, Lei Chan is sure that the old woman who is about to appear must also be an 'insider' who has faced the darkness.

Sure enough, I saw two people turning out from the back of the shrine, one big and one small, wearing witch costumes. The eldest man was an old woman, with silver hair and a serene face, and it was evident that she was the one who had just replied. The youngest one was about twelve years old, and he looked like he was supposed to be a trainee witch, and a pair of elf eyes stared at Anne with some curiosity. After all, in this land, exotic faces are still more eye-catching.

The old woman wanted to say a few more words to the old man Ikeda, but when she saw the old man's face, her face suddenly changed and she asked, "Old ghost, don't you want to participate in this matter?" Why is it still cursed? ”

Lei Chan and Anne were stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that the old woman could actually see the curse of the old man Ikeda at a glance, but when they looked at each other, they found that a circle had appeared on the left cheek of the two of them.

"This is not the place to talk, let's go in first!" Old man Ikeda still looked unapproachable and unceremonious, and walked to the back of the shrine, where the old woman rested. The old woman glanced at Lei Chan and Annie, as if she had a rough idea in her heart, nodded at the two, and turned around and walked over.

Lei Chan and Anne had no choice but to follow, and the situation was like this, and they could only take one step at a time.

...

At the back of the shrine is a Japanese-style room, which is obviously where the old woman usually rests.

Through a short introduction, the old woman's name is Li, and she is the shrine maiden of this shrine, and the little girl who follows her is called Ju, as Lei Zen imagined, she is the apprentice shrine maiden of this shrine. To the surprise of Lei Chan and Anne, the old man Ikeda was actually an onmyoji, and judging from the tone of the old witch, the old man's level was not low, and he seemed to be very authoritative.

"So, you're still being targeted by the wraith?" The first to speak was the old witch, and it could be seen that she and the old man Ikeda were old friends, and she was not polite at all.

The old man took out the tape from his bag, put it in front of the old witch, and said, "This tape is very strange, the mark of the original ghost has been removed, and this is done by you and me. But just now, after the replay, the wraith curse came to the door again, and it was clear that our spell was no longer working! ”

"No!" The old witch refuted the old man's speculation very decisively, only to see her take a bronze mirror to the old man Ikeda, close her eyes and feel the videotape, and continued. "The spell on the tape has not been destroyed, it can only be said that the curse in it echoes its essence. In other words, the curse on your body comes from the essence of the curse. I can feel that the resentment in you is a hundred times stronger than that of ordinary people. ”

The three of them were stunned when they heard this, and the old man Ikeda set his eyes on Lei Chan and Anne. In fact, he had dealt with this curse many times before, and he had never been haunted by it. But as soon as Lei Chan and Anne arrived, they immediately attracted the curse itself, and it was difficult not to blame the two of them.

The two of them also realized this, and Lei Chan even had a wry smile on his face. If I had known that watching a video would happen, I wouldn't have asked about it.

But the old witch on the side saw the gaze of the old man Ikeda, and put her eyes on Lei Chan and Anne, but she couldn't help but let out a "huh", and before everyone could react, she saw the old witch get up at an unreasonable speed, pick up a rattan bow from the shelf behind her, put it on the arrow, and aim at Anne!

If it weren't for Lei Chan's quick opportunity and blocking in front of Anne, I'm afraid that this arrow would have been shot out long ago.

"Young man, the woman behind you is not human! Get out of the way! The old witch's voice was old, but firm.

But Lei Chan didn't mean to get out of the way at all, but the old man Ikeda, who was sitting in the middle, realized that the old witch didn't know about Lei Chan and Anne. He hurriedly stood up, pulled the old witch aside, and whispered to the old witch about the two.

I have to say that the people of District 11, as Hong Yiyi said, see the love across races very clearly. After hearing the old man's explanation, the old witch seemed to let down her guard against Anne a lot, put the rattan bow back on the shelf, and said softly: "I didn't think of you as a man, but you are quite bold, and no one can not change color under the old woman's arrows." ”

Lei Chan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the old witch no longer put on an offensive posture, he didn't think that the two grandparents-level people present would be as weak as they appeared.

The old witch didn't care about Lei Chan's expression, but walked around the two of them a few times, and couldn't help but be amazed. Seeing that Lei Chan and Anne were uncomfortable for a while, Lei Chan couldn't help but ask, "Is there something wrong with the two of us?" ”

Hearing Lei Chan's words, the old witch squatted down and pinched Lei Chan's cheek with her old palm, Lei Chan... Endure! Pinched Anne's cheek beside him again, Lei Chan... Bear with me! Fortunately, the old witch didn't make the next move, but after squinting her eyes and looking at the two of them carefully, she slowly said a word to Lei Chan.

But because of this sentence, Lei Chan's face became very ugly, and he suddenly realized that even if he didn't want to participate in this matter, it was impossible.

What did the old witch say? Continue in the next chapter!
