Chapter 226: Curse
Looking at the Yellow Springs Evil Ghost who was imprisoned in the magic circle, Qianye gave up his position, stood aside and smiled at Nishino Nanase, Hashimoto Nanami and Mai Shiraishi: "Since it's just a Yellow Spring Demon, I'll leave it to you." I'm sure you should be able to destroy this Yellow Springs demon, and please be careful not to hurt Mr. Kameda, because if the seven-star lamp in front of him goes out, he will really die. ”
Qianye's words suddenly made Shiraku and Himura Yuki on the side nervous, and they looked at Kameda and Huangquan Demons who were still unconscious in the magic circle with worry, for fear that this Huangquan Evil Ghost would harm Kameda's life. And Nishino Nanase, Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi only showed some helplessness about Qianye's words. Although a Yellow Spring Evil Ghost is a little difficult to deal with, but for the two big monsters of Hashimoto Nanami and Mai Shiraishi, it is really a piece of cake, even if it is only Nishino Nanase himself, he can easily take down this Yellow Spring Evil Ghost, but he needs to take into account Kameda's safety and is a little unable to use it.
The helplessness of the three of Nishino Nanase was just because Qianye still had some bad taste in this situation and let the three of them deal with this Yellow Spring Demon instead of solving it himself. Despite this, the three of Nishino Nanase put down the Kagura Bell, the small bamboo leaf, and the imperial coin in their hands, and took out the talisman from the placket of the shrine maiden's clothes, preparing to destroy this Yellow Spring demon.
"The Green Emperor of the East, the Red Emperor of the South, the White Emperor of the West, the Black Emperor of the North, the Yellow Emperor of the Central, the Three Platforms of the Big Dipper, the Five Stars of Astronomy, and the Demon Seal." Nishino Nanase drew a clear bellflower mark in her hand, and as the incantation was recited, a white pentagram appeared in her hand, and then flew out violently to freeze the Yellow Spring Demon floating in the circle. The evil ghost who was fixed in the air by the pentagram suddenly howled, but he couldn't break free from the shackles of the pentagram, and could only watch the three of Nishino Nanase in front of him prepare spells for a long time.
Looking at the Yellow Springs Evil Ghost that was fixed in the air, a smile appeared on the corner of Nishino Nanase's mouth, she didn't expect that this Yellow Spring Evil Ghost would be fixed by her so easily, and now this saved her a lot of things. And Mai Shiraishi and Nana Hashimoto, who were standing behind Nanase Nishino, were quietly relieved to see this Yellow Springs demon being fixed so easily, so that at least they didn't have to risk exposing themselves as youkai in front of Shiraku and Yuki Himura and use some powerful spells.
Nishino Nanase didn't dare to slack off, although the Yellow Springs Evil Ghost had now been fixed in the air by her, but the green salt light that was still evaporating on the floor had become a little dim, and the four-elephant star map was still reminding her that this Yellow Springs Evil Ghost was not as useless as it seemed on the surface. So Nishino Nanase folded his hands together and formed a nine-character mantra mudra, and at the same time recited in his mouth: "Lin, Bing, Fight, Fight, All, Array, Column, In, Front!" ”
As Nishino Nanase formed the nine-character mantra handprint, a light wheel surrounded her hands, and when all the nine handprints were formed, this aperture shrank suddenly, concentrated between Nishino Nanase's palms, and was pushed out by her towards the Huangquan demon in front of her, and at the same time shouted: "Punish the evil!" The aperture turned into a white light, and without accident, it hit the Yellow Spring Demon who was fixed in the air and could not struggle.
The Yellow Springs Demon, who was concentrated by the white light, wailed in pain, but to no avail. As the location of the Yellow Spring Evil Ghost that was hit by the white light began to ignite white flames, the Yellow Spring Demon that was fixed in the air by the pentagram quickly burned from the inside out, and finally burned out in front of Nishino Nanase and others. With the burning of the Yellow Spring Demon, the seven oil lamps in front of Kameda gradually became brighter, but even Shirakutong and Himura Yuki could see that the flames of the seven oil lamps were still a little dim, and this dim light also symbolized that Kameda's soul and life had been greatly damaged.
However, neither Himura Yuki nor Shiraku focused on this, and when they saw the disappearance of the Yellow Spring Demon, they asked Chiya a little nervously, "Chiyo-san, is Kameda all right?" Is Hashimoto's ritual over now? While asking, Yuki Himura and Shiraku looked at Kameda who was unconscious in the circle and Nanase Nishino, who was still standing in front of the circle, with some concern.
"Mr. Kameda is fine, but there is one last step in the ceremony, and completing this step will be of some benefit to Mr. Kameda." Qianye bowed slightly, looking at Kameda in the circle and the three Nishino Nanase standing in front of the circle, and their eyes revealed their satisfaction that the three of Nishino Nanase could solve a Yellow Spring demon so cleanly.
"The benefits? I don't dare to ask for it, I just hope that Kameda is okay now. Yuki Himura shook his head, clearly not holding out much hope for the benefits that Senya had said. Despite this, Himura Yuki and Shiraku did not forget to thank Chiya: "Chiya-san, this time it is thanks to you, Hashimoto, Nishino, and Shiraishi. Otherwise, we really don't know how to help Kameda, so we can only watch him fall into the cult. ”
Qianye chuckled and shook his head, and said to Yuki Himura and Shirakuto: "This little thing, the two of you don't need to be so polite, exorcism and subduing demons is a matter for my generation of onmyoji." Besides, Prince Fumihito had already commissioned him to investigate the matter before the matter of the Huangquan Sect, so since Mr. Kameda is related to the Huangquan Sect, even if the two of them don't come to ask for help, I will save him. ”
Although Chiya said this, Yuki Himura and Shiraku both understood that if it weren't for the fact that they usually took care of Nanami Hashimoto and the three of them, and there was still a little bit of favor, Kameda's matter, let alone Qianya, even the three of them would not have come to the rescue. Therefore, although Himura Yuki and Shiraku did not continue to thank them, they had already remembered this favor.
At the same time, Nanase Nishino, Nanami Hashimoto, and Mai Shiraishi picked up the kagura bell, small bamboo leaves, and imperial coins that they had put down earlier, and were preparing to complete the final step of the ceremony. As the three of Nishino Nanase danced the Kagura Dance again, the already dim four-star chart bloomed again, but this time it was no longer a white starlight, but a light blue fluorescence. With the movements of Nishino Nanase and the three of them, these fluorescents finally converged on Kameda, who was unconscious in the circle, and the light on the circle finally disappeared.

"Qianye, why did the Yellow Spring Evil Ghost come out of the soul of that junior of Himura-san?" Nanami Hashimoto rubbed his ankles and asked Qianye curiously, "And why is that Yellow Spring Evil Ghost the appearance of Himura-san's junior?" Could it be that this has something to do with what the Huangquan Sect did? ”
Hearing Nanami Hashimoto's question, Nanase Nishino and Mai Shiraishi on the side also turned their eyes, obviously also curious about this matter.
Seeing this, a smile rose at the corner of her mouth, and she raised her hand to gently brush Nanami Hashimoto's forehead, pulling out the snow that she used to fix her bun, and suddenly Nanami Hashimoto's hair that was now hanging down to her shoulders was scattered.
"What are you doing, Thousand Nights!" Nana Hashimoto was not caught off guard by Chiya's movements, and the hair that fell down made her a little angry, and shouted dissatisfiedly to Chiya: "Can you be serious when you talk about business, you have to flirt with people every time, do you like to watch me mess up so much?" As she spoke, Nanami Hashimoto wanted to reach out and take back the dead snow from Chiya's hand and put her hair back up.
"Nanamin, you look good with your hair scattered like this, why do you keep coiling it up." The smile on Chiya's face became a little narrow, but it was more of a love for Nanami Hashimoto. Reaching through the tips of Nanami Hashimoto's hair, feeling the feeling of her gentle hair sliding through her fingertips, a trace of tenderness and nostalgia appeared in Qianye's eyes: "Sure enough, Nanamin, you still look the best with long hair, I like the way your long hair is scattered." ”
Nana Hashimoto didn't hear Qianye's words, she gave him an angry look, reached out and took back the dead snow from his hand, but she didn't tie her hair up again, just put the dead snow back in her arms, and looked at the thousand nights with some disgust: "Thousand nights, you haven't seen my long hair before, why do you say that you seem to have seen it?" And don't divert the topic when talking about business, why did the soul of that junior of Himura-san become like that? ”
Qianye gently stroked Nanami Hashimoto's hair, and after smiling, he explained to her, Mai Shiraishi and Nanase Nishino: "It was the curse of the Huangquan Ghost Clan, and that junior of Himura-san was cursed when he participated in the sacrifice ceremony of the Huangquan Sect, and it was this curse that controlled his mind and made him a fanatical believer of the Huangquan Sect. The people sent by Prince Fumihito to investigate the Huangquan Sect before rebelled for the same reason. ”
"Then why did he turn into a Yellow Springs demon after the filth on his soul was stripped away?" Nishino Nanase still didn't understand why the filth on Kameda's soul would become a Yellow Spring Evil Ghost after being stripped of Qianye again: "And why did you suddenly take action, master?" Master, did you find out that something was wrong with his soul? ”
Qianye nodded, and at the same time pointed out Nishino Nanase's shortcomings: "Nanasa, you should actually have noticed that the magic circle drawn with green salt on the floor was rapidly evaporating, didn't you see it?" This means that his soul has enough power to impact the circle you have planted, and when his soul is exposed to the circle, the erosion of his soul by the filth attached to his soul will be accelerated, and if I don't purify the filth, I am afraid that his whole soul will be swallowed by the filth. ”
"So is this also the reason why that Yellow Springs demon looks the same as Himura-san's junior?" Nana Hashimoto didn't hear Chiya say this, and she somewhat understood why the Yellow Springs Evil Ghost had the same appearance as Kameda, but she still didn't understand why the filth on Kameda's soul turned into the Yellow Springs Demon: "But Thousand Nights, I still don't understand why those filths turned into Yellow Springs Demons?" Could it be that a Yellow Springs demon has become one of those filth? ”
"On the contrary, unlike what Nanami thinks, it's the filth that has turned into a Yellow Springs demon." Chiya scratched Nanami Hashimoto's nose, and explained to her, Nanase Nishino, and Mai Shiraishi with a doting smile on her face, "The curse of the Huangquan Ghost Clan is both a curse, but it is also a blessing, but this blessing is relative to the Huangquan Ghost Clan and the people who want to become the Huangquan Ghost Clan. ”
"Master, you mean, this curse is to gradually erode the souls of ordinary people into the Huangquan Ghost Clan, right? In that case, wouldn't the members of the Yellow Springs Sect have all become the Yellow Springs Ghost Clan? Nishino Nanase understood what Qianye meant, but he was worried, and asked Qianye with a nervous look on his face: "Then master, since the Huangquan Sect is really related to the Huangquan Ghost Clan, how should we deal with it?" Can't you destroy them? ”
Hearing Nishino Nanase mention the extermination of the Huangquan Sect, Qianye shook his head helplessly: "Extermination? Easier said than done! Not to mention that the Huangquan Sect has now penetrated into Japan's political and economic circles, and it is deeply implicated, and even many artists in the entertainment industry have also invested in it. And it's not like 500 years ago, when I exterminated the Huangquan Sect 500 years ago, not only did there be people to help me in troubled times, but even if these cultists were killed, their impact was limited. Unlike now, if there are even a few more deaths, it will cause panic in public opinion. ”
"Qianye, you said that you exterminated the Yellow Springs Sect five hundred years ago? What's going on? Didn't you say before that you didn't know much about the Yellow Springs Sect? When Mai Shiraishi heard the information mentioned by Qianye, she immediately asked him in amazement: "Why did Qianye after you exterminated them five hundred years ago, and now the Huangquan Sect has become overflowing again, and Nanasai said that the Huangquan Sect has existed for more than four hundred years, didn't you know about it at that time?" ”
"The sect I exterminated five hundred years ago did not carry the banner of the Huangquan Sect, although they should be the predecessors of the Huangquan Sect, and the methods used by both are the same." Qianye smiled helplessly and explained to Mai Shiraishi: "As for what you said four hundred years ago, at that time, my main energy was used to deal with the feathered fox, and I really didn't have much energy to pay attention to a revivalous cult. And at that time, this cult did not have much fanfare, so I knew very little about it, after all, I was more concerned with youkai than a cult secretly spread by humans. ”
"What are we going to do now? If we can't exterminate this cult, should we let it go? Nana Hashimoto frowned a little worriedly.
"If it was the Yellow Springs Sect that I exterminated five hundred years ago, as long as I destroyed their main altar and destroyed the statue of Susanoo that they had been worshipping, we would be able to stop this cult from spreading. As for those who have been cursed, being arrested and imprisoned is also a way to deal with it. Although Qianye said it easily, the expression on his face was a little solemn: "It's just that if that's the case, you'll have to face Susanoo himself." ”
