(Cat pounces Chinese "Blood ink? Yumi Wakazuki's suggestion made Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi's eyes light up, and they both saw a glimmer of possibility in each other's eyes. So Nana Hashimoto nodded and said to Yumi Wakatsuki: "Wakatsuki, what do you think, tell me about it." ”

"I don't remember seeing it before, saying that it can be made by mixing blood and ink to make blood ink. I wondered if we could do the same, where everyone took a little bit of blood and mixed it with ink and used it to copy the sutras. Wakatsuki Yumi said in a somewhat uncertain voice, as if she didn't have much confidence in her thoughts.

"What do you think of Mai? Is Wakatsuki's solution feasible? Nana Hashimoto looked at Mai Shiraishi, hoping to get some advice from her, or from the memories she inherited from Tamamo.

Mai Shiraishi thought about it carefully, nodded a little uncertainly, and said to Nanami Hashimoto: "I'm not sure either, but this method seems to be feasible, the previous Onmyoji seems to use blood mixed with cinnabar and ink to make blood ink to write spells, which can make them more powerful than ordinary charms." What Wakatsuki said should be this method. ”

"Huh? Do you still need cinnabar? I didn't even know that I still needed to use cinnabar, and I thought that blood ink was a mixture of blood and ink. Wakatsuki Yumi covered her mouth in some surprise, not expecting that the suggestion she made casually was really feasible.

"Man is the spirit of all things, and human blood contains a person's essence, so in the past, the onmyoji would bite his finger in an emergency and use the blood of his fingertips to write spells, and these charms also possessed more power than ordinary charms." Mai Shiraishi said this, and after a pause, she continued to explain: "But if you simply use blood, the essence contained in the blood will quickly escape after the blood dries, so it can only be written and used now, which is very inconvenient." Later, the onmyoji used cinnabar to mix with blood, and then made blood ink with ink, because of the addition of cinnabar, so that the essence in the blood was retained by cinnabar, and the aura in the cinnabar can also strengthen the power of the spell, so the blood ink has become a writing material often used by the onmyoji. ”

"In that case, let's make the Blood Ink! How do you do this, do you know what to do? After listening to Mai Shiraishi's explanation, Reika Sakurai became excited, grabbed her and asked.

"But I don't know how to mix blood and cinnabar! This isn't something that can be mixed up casually, and Qianye hasn't taught me how to make blood ink yet. Mai Shiraishi was grabbed by Reika Sakurai's arm and said a little overwhelmed.

"Eh, what should I do!" Reika Sakurai, who was originally excited, suddenly became depressed again, and the members who had been cheered up by Yumi Wakatsuki's suggestion were also depressed at this time.

"That ......" Nanase Nishino, who was standing aside at this time, suddenly raised his hand and whispered, "I know how to make blood ink, but there is no cinnabar here." Nishino Nanase's words immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they were stared at by the members, and Nishino Nanase, who was already shy, became shy again.

While the members of Nogizaka 46 were trying to find a way to copy the Buddhist scriptures, Kujin and the cadres of the Nine-Tails Martial Arts faction disguised themselves as ordinary people in Sanuki City to search for local yokai in Shikoku, hoping to inquire about the whereabouts of the five Buddhist scriptures written in the blood of Emperor Shotoku.

"Damn, looking for a needle in a haystack like this, when is it a head, that cat demon, do you have any clues?" The ghost samurai frowned and asked Jiujing, as a ghost samurai who was a samurai in life and became a youkai after death, such an aimless search made him feel very tedious and unbearable.

Looking at the ghost warriors who couldn't bear the eagerness, the demon sword Ji frowned: "Be patient, ghost warrior!" After shutting up the ghost warrior, Demon Sword Ji also looked at Jiu Jing and asked her, "Miss Jiu Jing, do you have any clues about the whereabouts of these five Buddhist scriptures?" ”

"It's a pity, Miss Demon Dao Ji, I really don't have any clues, the only thing I can do now is to find the local monsters and ask them for some information." The expression on Jiujing's face was also a little helpless, although ninjas are good at gathering intelligence, but with such a clueless thing, it is also very difficult to collect valuable clues.

Demon Dao Ji faced Jiujing's words, although he didn't say anything, and there was no dissatisfied expression on his face, Jiujing could still feel that this big monster's mood was getting worse. Just as Jiujing was about to say something, a girl dressed brightly and a little out of proportion to the atmosphere of Sanuki City suddenly greeted this side across the street: "Hey! Demon Sword-sama! Oni Samurai-sama! ”

Hearing the sound of the girl greeting, Demon Sword Ji and the Ghost Samurai both turned their heads and looked at the girl who was standing across the street, the girl looked left and right, and saw that there was no car on the road, so she quickly crossed the road, ran over, stood in front of the Demon Sword Hime, bowed to her, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time, Demon Sword Hime-sama, I am the squid who joined the aquarium of the Nine-Tails Group before, why did you come to Sanuki?" And with the Oni Warrior-sama. Could it be that Lord Shiraishi also came to Sanuki? ”

"Well, Lord Shiraishi has something to do with Sanuki." Demon Dao Ji nodded without any expression on his face, looked at the girl named Squid standing in front of him, and suddenly frowned and said: "I remember you, you should be the female public relations of that monster nightclub in Tokyo, I saw you when your aquarium joined the Nine-Tails Group before." How did you end up in Sanuki? ”

"Don't you know, Demon Sword-sama, although the members of our aquarium live in Tokyo, not all of us are from Tokyo. For example, my hometown is in the Seto Inland Sea, and this time I came back to visit my grandmother who lives in Sanuki. When the squid saw the demon sword Ji asking, he hurriedly explained to her.

"Are you a youkai from the Seto Inland Sea?" When Jiujing on the side heard the squid's words, her eyes lit up and she asked, "Is your grandmother a local youkai in Sanuki?" Jiujing's words made all the big monsters of the Nine-Tails Group on the side suddenly understand, and they all looked at the squid with burning eyes.

Although he didn't understand why the cadres of the Nine-Tails Group and the big youkai he had never seen looked at him like this, the squid nodded and said, "Yes, I was born in the Seto Inland Sea, and I have lived in Sanuki since I was a child, and so is my grandmother, who has been living in Sanuki for hundreds of years. ”

The squid's words made the expressions of the big monsters of the Nine-Tails group excited, so the demon sword Ji nodded and said to the squid: "You are called a squid, right?" Can you take us to meet your grandma? We have something we want to ask her. ”

"No problem, Lord Demon Sword, please come with me!" The squid nodded, with an excited look on his face, and led the Nine-Tails Martial Arts Sect cadres to walk towards her grandmother's house with Jiujing.

Squid's grandmother runs an izakaya in Sanuki City, which looks like it's been many years old, and when she opens the wooden door, the squid takes the lead and shouts to her busy grandmother, "Grandma, I'm back!" There's a guest coming, and they have something they want to ask you. ”

"It's all said, such a big girl, don't babble!" The squid's grandmother put down the work in her hand and walked out of the kitchen, counting the squid while looking at Jiu Jing and the others who were walking in, her eyes flashed, and she asked the squid a little guarded, "Who are they?" Obviously, they had already recognized that the nine spirits and others who walked in were all big monsters.

"Grandma, it's okay, they're the cadres of the Nine-Tails group I joined in Tokyo, and they came to Sanuki because they wanted to inquire about something, so they came to look for you." Seeing that her grandmother looked nervous, the squid knew that she was frightened by this group of big monsters, so she hurriedly hugged her arm and explained, while beckoning the cadres of the Nine-Tails Group to sit down with Jiujing.

"Is that so?" The squid's grandmother was still a little defensive in her eyes, but she still beckoned these big monsters, and after serving tea to everyone, she asked them, "I don't know if you have anything you want to know?" ”

"It's about the five Mahayana sutras that Emperor Shotoku sank into the sea." After Jiujing and Demon Daoji glanced at each other, Jiujing opened his mouth and said to the squid's grandmother.

"Na-chan, is this cinnabar to be grounded?" Holding a piece of cinnabar sent by the staff of the Imperial Household Agency, Takayama asked Nishino Nanase that he didn't know what to do with the cinnabar in his hand.

Nanase Nishino, who was grinding ink, looked at Takayama Ichimi, nodded and said, "Yes, Kazmi, you mash the cinnabar first, and then use the grinding bowl over there to grind." When grinding, remember to mix with wine, adding a little at a time. ”

"Oh, I got Na-chan." Gao Shan Yimiu nodded, then looked at the cinnabar in his hand and asked, "What kind of shape does that have to be polished?" Is it water-like, or is it a little thicker? ”

"It's a little sticky, like colloidal! If you're not sure, bring it to me and show me. Nishino Nanase explained to Takayama Ichimi as he poured the polished ink from the inkstone into a small bowl, and several small bowls containing ink were already placed next to it.

"Okay, Na-chan, I got it." Takayama nodded, walked aside, put the cinnabar on a piece of white paper and carefully crushed it, and then put the broken cinnabar into the grinding bowl and grinded it.

While Takayama was grinding cinnabar, the other members were nervously looking at the doctor who was drawing blood for Yoshiko, and they couldn't help but show a scared expression on their faces.

"Nanamin, it feels so scary to have blood drawn, will it hurt?" The youngest Asuka Saito hugged Nanami Hashimoto's waist, buried his little head in her arms, and asked Nanami Hashimoto with some fear, with a scared expression on his little face, which looked cute.

"It's alright, Azuka, it's just a needle prick." Nana Hashimoto comforted Asuka Saito, who was holding her, and coaxed her while touching her little head: "Asuka, you see that even Yoshiko and her second generation are so brave to go up to draw blood, you can't be afraid as a senior of the first generation!" ”

"Hmm! Okay, I got it. Asuka Saito eventually nodded, but the pouting indicated that she was clearly not pleased. Looking at Asuka Saito, who was a little unhappy, Nana Hashimoto could only continue to coax this little sister.

Just when Nana Hashimoto was coaxing Asuka Saito, Mai Shiraishi walked towards her. Seeing Mai Shiraishi coming over, Nana Hashimoto raised her head and asked, "Mai, how is the progress of Nana Sai's side now, are the materials of blood ink ready?" Is there anything I can help with? ”

"The materials are almost ready, the ink and cinnabar are the best products sent from the Imperial Household Agency, and the paper and brushes are the best paper and brushes that can be found. Kazmi is helping Nanasai grind cinnabar, and when she finishes grinding, she will be able to make blood ink. While Mai Shiraishi explained the progress of preparations to Nana Hashimoto on Nishino's side, she was also a little worried about her subordinates: "I don't know if Jiujing and Demon Dao Ji have found out the whereabouts of the five Buddhist scriptures that Emperor Chongde sank into the sea, if they can recover those five Buddhist scriptures, this matter will be more certain." ”

"Don't worry, they won't have a problem, it's just that they can't find those five Buddhist scriptures. If we are ready, we will re-copy it, and I believe it will be the same. Nana Hashimoto did not comfort Mai Shiraishi, who was a little worried, and was not worried about the group of big monsters of the Kujin and the cadres of the Nine-Tails Group.

"Well, that's all there is to it now, let's go and draw blood." Mai Shiraishi nodded, took Nanami Hashimoto's arm, and walked towards the doctor who was drawing blood.

Kako, who had already finished drawing blood, took the blood she had drawn, found Nanase Nishino, and asked her, "Senpai Nishino, this is my blood, how do you make this into blood ink?" As he spoke, he handed the bag containing the blood he had drawn to Nanase Nishino.

"Don't be so polite, just call me Nanasai." Taking the bag of blood handed over by Yoshiko, Nanase Nishino looked up at Yoshiko, smiled shyly at her and explained: "This only needs to mix the blood and ink together, and then add cinnabar to mix thoroughly, it's very simple, Yoshiko, wait a minute, I'll help you get it right away." As he spoke, Nanase Nishino picked up the ink he had ground before and the cinnabar that Takayama had grinded, mixed them together, and then added Yoshiko's blood to it before mixing this blood ink.

Handing the adjusted blood ink to Yoshiko, Nanase Nishino smiled sweetly at her: "Yoshiko, give, this one is yours." ”

Carefully taking the blood ink handed over by Nanase Nishino, Yoshiko hurriedly thanked her: "Thank you, Nanasa." Yoshiko, who was holding the blood ink, hurriedly came to the seat that had been prepared on the side, dipped the brush in the blood ink, and carefully copied the Buddhist scriptures.
