Chapter XVII

(The college entrance examination is over!! Teaser, two changes a day from tomorrow)

Inside Seogyoji Temple, the entire building has been freshly painted, and incense is filled with incense and a wooden statue of the Seogon Master sitting in the main hall.

Outside the main hall, a large number of subordinates and hired helpers walked busily, and from time to time you could see a few samurai with swords.

"Hey, that!" One of the leaders said to the two people sitting on the board, "Hurry up and put things in order, don't rub them off!" If you are lazy, your salary will be deducted! ”

"Yes, yes," the two people heard the inquiry, hurriedly lifted the plank, and walked to the front yard of the Xixing Temple

"It's really troublesome, it's not worrying at all," the foreman sighed, "you guys! What are you doing, hurry up and get to work! ”

The foreman strode over to the two men who looked idle

"This is a big deal for the Westward Family, can you afford to delay it, you?"

"Hey, man" Seeing the foreman walking away, a helper carrying wood touched the man on the side, "What the hell is the Xixing family going to do, such a big scene?" ”

"You don't know?" The man looked surprised

"How do I know" The helper waved his hand, "I haven't had anything to do lately, and the Xihang family has a lot of pay, so I came directly"

"I'm telling you, it's a big deal."

"Big deal? How big is it? The helper's curiosity was fully aroused

"That genius eldest lady of the Xixing family, a coming-of-age ceremony is held today"

"A rite of passage? As for the "helper" looks disdainful, "The westerner is really generous, making such a big scene for a coming-of-age ceremony"

"What do you know" The man patted the helper on the head, "That eldest lady is an onmyoji, can there be a small one about the onmyoji!?" ”

"No, an eldest lady is also an onmyoji!" The helper was taken aback

Onmyoji is one of the few humans who can master supernatural powers, and every onmyoji will be treated as a guest of honor anywhere, because in this era of yokai rampant, only onmyoji or mana monks can deal with youkai, and there are too few samurai who can deal with yokai. What's more, there are very few monks who can cultivate mana

But the number of Onmyoji is not much, but each of the Onmyoji can have supernatural powers, although the number is small, but the quality is high.

Even so, female onmyoji are extremely rare, and most of the women who can have supernatural powers are shrine maidens who serve the gods.

The Xixing family is known as the Onmyoji family, but the total number of onmyoji in the whole family is only 30, and this is not excluding those low-level onmyoji who can only deal with small monsters.

Moreover, in the entire family, there is only one female onmyoji, Yuyuko.

"Don't you know" The man was very satisfied with the effect of his words, "I heard that the eldest lady is only fifteen years old and can use spells, and besides, another purpose of this coming-of-age ceremony is to choose a Shikigami for this eldest lady, so it is so grand."

"So powerful," the helper sighed, "Then tell me, what does this eldest lady look like?" ”

"Think about it, she, isn't that!"

The helper looked at the man's hand, and saw a girl wearing a white kimono and a flat white round hat standing in front of the gate of Saigyoji Temple, her hands intertwined and hanging in front of her, and the whole person looked down and generous

"Yuyuko, this is a great opportunity for you to develop your studies in yin-yang arts, you must seize it" An old man with white hair and a black yin-yang suit patted Yuyuko's head and said, "If you can get a powerful Shikijin in this time, then the family will recommend you to work in the Yin-Yang Liao in Heianjing."

The Onmyoryo was established by the Emperor to deal with the increasingly powerful yokai, and as the official organization that nominally rules all of Japan's Onmyoji, the Onmyoji who can join the Onmyoji are all powerful or potential people, and the importance that the Seshiyo family attaches to Yuyuko can be seen.

"Please rest assured," Yuyuko bowed slightly, "I will definitely work hard"

"Very good" the old man nodded with satisfaction, "Then go and prepare, today you are the protagonist"

"Yes"

Yuyuko slowly retreated, and a man dressed as an onmyoji walked towards the old man from the side

"Lord Teng Jiu" Onmyoji entourage saluted, "My Parents, I can't come to Kyoto because of something important, so I was specially sent to tell you"

"Something important? Hum! The westbound patriarch named Teng Jiu sneered, "I'm afraid it's the An Pei family who is making wind and rain in the Yin and Yang Liao."

"Yes, the Ampere family wants to get the position of Dr. Yin and Yang in the Yin Yang Liao for a junior in the Yin Yang Liao"

"Dr. Yin and Yang?! A junior!? Teng Jiu was taken aback, because his achievements in Yin-Yang Technique for decades had only reached the status of Yin-Yang Doctor, could a junior of the Ampere family have the strength of Yin-Yang Doctor now!?

"That's right, so the parents had to stay in Heiankyo in case things changed," the attendant explained

"Ampere's family, is there no one to bully my westward family!" The old man said angrily: "If it weren't for the Xixing Demon to let the Xixing family mobilize most of their strength in the Xixing Temple, how could the Xixing family have only a few Yin and Yang doctors in Kyoto!" ”

"I hope that Yuyuko can have a big breakthrough this time and can crush the Ampere family" Elder Teng Jiu looked at the back of Yuyuko who had left and sighed lightly

"Well, let's not talk about this for now, are Ando and Akizuki-sama here?"

"On the way, coming soon"

"That's good" The old man breathed a sigh of relief, if such a big ceremony was advertised, but there were few heavyweights in the family, it would be laughable and generous

"Let's go, let's go to the viewing platform"

"Yes, my lord, please come this way" The old man walked with his entourage to the backyard.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Night falls. The interior of the temple is brightly lit

The number of monsters is the largest in the evening, and even in some cities or in the wild, you can often see the scene of a hundred ghosts walking at night around 6 o'clock in the evening, so 6 o'clock in the evening is also called the time of the demon.

Of course, the Xixing family will definitely not directly intercept the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk, because every time the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk will have one or several big monster-level monster leaders, this is not something that the West Traveling Family's combat power in the West Walk Temple can deal with.

But at this time, it is also the best time for the Onmyoji to sign a contract with the yokai, and among so many yokai, there will always be those who are willing to sign a contract with humans, as long as the humans are strong enough, the yokai are all respected by the strong, and they don't have any racial concepts.

Jingle bells

The brass bells on the thread swayed in the wind, and the spells worn on the thread around the ritual arena glowed faintly.

Yuyuko stood in the center of the ceremonial field, surrounded by three circles of onmyoji, arranged in a gossip situation, and two Yin-Yang doctor-level elders stood on the yin and yang poles of the gossip respectively, protecting Yuyuko.

"It's time," Elder Teng Jiu glanced at the sun that had just completely set, "Let's start"

Zizi Zi Zi ------

With Elder Teng Jiu's order, all the spells on the entire ritual field swayed

"Summoning demons and monsters, awakening the ghosts, that is, the night march for the hundred ghosts!"

If Qiu Chen was here, he would probably be able to recognize that this was the formation formed by the few monsters he encountered in the ghost town, but this was a large formation set up by dozens of people.

"Very good, the formation has started to work, everyone get ready!" Fuji ordered

"Yes"

Whew--------

There was silence, everyone was holding their breath and waiting, once a belligerent youkai appeared, there would inevitably be a big battle.

But--

No movement?

"What's going on? Today is indeed the day of the night walk of a hundred ghosts, right? ”

"That's right, it's today"

"Is it really mistaken?"

"Don't mess around!" Seeing that everyone was a little disturbed, the three elders immediately asked everyone to be quiet, "Don't let your guard down!" We"

"Look, what's that!!"

A cry of surprise interrupted the elder's words, and everyone looked up and followed the man's hand to the sky

"Black clouds?"

"Wait, that's not the direction"

"Westbound Demon!!"

"It's dead air!"

"How could it be, how could the dead air explode at this time!"

The people present were all from the Westbound family, so they naturally knew that the death was so bad, and the scene became chaotic, after all, in the face of death, the instinct was to flee

"Don't panic, set up a defensive circle!" Several elders were in the face of danger, showing in an instant the quality of the reason why they could become elders

"Yes!"

"Summon the Black of the North, immobile as a mountain!" As everyone's words fell, a transparent barrier opened, protecting everyone

"Hold on!"

"Increase the output of spiritual power!"

"Hurry up and warn Yamashita with a telephonic note!"

Everything is unfolding in an orderly manner.

Suddenly, an onmyoji saw that there seemed to be a big fluctuation in the spiritual power on the side

"Wait, Yuyuko, what's going on!"

The form was originally very beneficial to humans, but the mutation protruded!

"Dead air, dead air is coming through!"

"How is that possible?!"

Everyone looked at it in amazement, and the dead qi penetrated through the spiritual power supply place that Yuyuko was responsible for, enveloping Yuyuko, and in an instant, the scene became panicked again. If the aura blocks the dead air, maybe everyone can calm down, but once the dead air breaks through the barrier, these humans just can't do anything.

Just like when a human onmyoji or mana monk faces a monster, most of them open a shield, and then use all kinds of spells to cure the monster, but once the shield is broken, most of the onmyoji and mana monks can only be slaughtered obediently, after all, it is rare to have dual cultivation of demons and martial arts, let alone this low-level demon and low-martial plane.

"What's going on?!" Fuji's voice suppressed the confusion: "Elders, come with me!" Out of Yuyuko! ”

The three elders who were sweeping behind rushed forward. Wanting to rescue Yuyuko from the dead air, Yuyuko is a rising star of the Westward Family, and there must be no problems here, but the situation is not as they think.

Yuyuko slowly opened her eyes

The red eyes, without a trace of human eyes, stared at the people in front of them.

Everyone, they were shocked

"Yuyuko?"

A man stepped forward to tempt

Call!

A wind of death instantly enveloped the incoming person, and with a miserable scream, a living person did not hold on for a few seconds before it completely turned into a skeleton.

"How is this possible!!" Everyone was amazed.

Yuyuko, how can it have anything to do with the Westward Demon!!

(I haven't written for a long time, my hands may be a little raw, if the quality is a little reduced, forgive me)
