Kyoto, Abe is staring at Tokyo in the night, the evening breeze blows gently on him, the brilliant lights reflect on him with a strange light, behind him is Abe Qingming's shrine, the shape is simple, the courtyard is deep, occasionally with the evening breeze comes the sound of spells, fine and dense, like mosquitoes in spring whispering.

Everything seemed very calm, even calm and a little weird, Abe Zhengyi's face was also very calm, just standing quietly, like an old monk in silence, but soon, someone broke this calm, Liaosuke's face was gloomy, he walked over in small steps, and when he arrived at Abe Zhengyi's side, he stopped, lowered his head, and said respectfully: "Sect Master, there are two more onmyoji who fainted because of excessive consumption, and the magic circle has a layer of fluctuations, and the consumption will be greater, may I ask, what do you mean?" ”

Abe was stunned for a moment, looked at the light and came out of his mind, and after about a minute, he stood up and said, "Let me see!" Turning around and striding towards the largest wooden house in the shrine, the wooden house was very large, all wooden structures, without any reinforced concrete, gently pushing the door open, dozens of onmyoji, lined up in a five-pointed star pattern, chanting mantras together.

The pentagram has a special representative meaning for the Japanese onmyoji, and in the onmyodo, the pentagram is said to be a talisman of monsters, known as the Saimon Seal or the Sunny Kikyo Seal. The significance of the seal letter is that the basic concept of Yin and Yang Dao, the Five Elements of Yin and Yang, is to represent the dynamic restraint of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Thunder in the upper corner, strong power, also known as the spiritual position. The wind in the upper left corner, the power of illusion. Water in the lower left corner, the power of thinking. Fire in the upper right corner, the power of destruction. Dirt in the lower right corner. The power of regeneration. Thunder, the brilliance of the spirit. Summons divine powers. The wind, the driving force. Changing the laws of nature. Water, the power of knowledge, the power of seeking or understanding answers, fire, the power of desire, the power of strengthening oneself and hurting others, the earth, the power of rebirth, the power of healing and guarding.

The five vertices of the pentagram all represent different elements. They are earth, water, fire, wind, and the fifth element that symbolizes the strength of the human spirit, and the pentagram is also a common symbol used in magic because it looks like a person's body as a whole, with the head at the top and the limbs at the rest.

In the center of the huge five-pointed star pattern posed by the staff, a black coffin is placed, and dozens of small paper figures stand inside, each of which is the name of a Taoist figure brought by Wang Xiaohu. It turned out to be a lot, in addition to the name, there are also the eight characters of each person, and all the information comes from the customs file. It is very easy for the Onmyoji to get this information.

In the strange spell sound of the Onmyoji, a white mist was formed. Gather towards the paper figures in the array, and envelop all the paper figures in it. Abe was staring at the paper figures in the middle, and all the paper figures were calm. But occasionally there will be a paper figure suddenly moving strangely, at the same time, the center of the pentagram produces a strong resistance force, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, every time it fluctuates, the onmyoji will immediately increase the sound of the incantation chanting, and at the same time, everyone's consumption is increasing dramatically, if you want to control these paper figures, it is the onmyoji's mind that is consumed, and you must pay full attention, and there can be no mistakes.

What's even more weird is that the paper figures don't all move, just an occasional weird twist, and the frequency of fluctuations is not the same, weird is very, which consumes the onmyoji's mental strength even more, after all, it is easier to suppress a regular fluctuation than to suppress different fluctuations, but the paper man in the coffin in the center of the pentagram seems to be acting, all of them don't move, take turns on the stage, toss for a few minutes, immediately stop, and replace it with another paper figure toss.

"Poof!" A young onmyoji couldn't bear it, a mouthful of blood spurted out, his face was as white as paper in an instant, he looked up and fell, as soon as he fell, an attendant immediately stepped forward to help the young onmyoji and left quickly, and then replaced with a new onmyoji to occupy his position and continue to cast spells.

With the restlessness of the paper figures and all kinds of strange fluctuations, more and more onmyoji couldn't hold on, and Abe asked in a deep voice: "How many more can be filled?" ”

Liao Zhu wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said in a deep voice: "Sect Master, there are only twenty left in the younger generation who can form a formation, if it continues like this, I'm afraid it won't last for half an hour, it's really too much mental drain, the children are still young, and the mental consumption is too great, I'm afraid it will be difficult to replenish it, and I don't know how many of them will become invalids, Sect Master, is our price too great?" ”

Abe Masaichi turned his head suddenly, looked at Liao Suke with a cold gaze, and said sharply: "If you don't pay the price, the Onmyoji will be extinct, and the predecessors were able to sacrifice to the sea and block foreign enemies and the country, and now that the Chinese Taoists have stepped on the land of Japan, do you want them to easily set foot on Tokunoshima?" ”

"Poof!" Another young onmyoji vomited blood and fell, looking at being helped out, and a young onmyoji with panic in his eyes came up to fill the place, Abe Shoichi's heart suddenly softened, these young onmyoji are all children of major yin and yang families, and they are also the only seeds in the world who are still learning yin and yang, if they are really abolished, after a few years, the evil consequences will appear, and the profession of onmyoji will decline at a very fast speed.

At this point, I still have to leave some seeds for the onmyoji, Abe Zhengyi's eyes were a little moist, in this competition, he felt that he was the righteous party, Wang Xiaohu was the aggressor, for the Yin and Yang Dao, for the Yin and Yang Liao, Abe Zhengyi could give everything, but these teenagers ......

When it's time to really make a move, it can't be consumed, Abe Shoichi straightened his body, and said in a deep voice to the young onmyoji lined up: "Gentlemen, today's hard work is for a better existence tomorrow, please work with me, and now recite the mantra with me to send them to that truly terrifying era." ”

"Tiancang, Tian, Tiandong, Tianfu, Tianfu, Tianfu, Tianxin, Tianxin, Tianren, Tianying! Qingyang is the sky! Turbidity for the earth! Protect the gods! Be merciful! Haste as a law! Tie! Abe is taking a strange step, seemingly a step, but there is an essential difference, pinching the trick with both hands, blessing the young onmyoji who formed the pentagram array.

Under the leadership of Abe Shoichi, all the young onmyoji lifted their spirits, and as he recited the mantra together, the mysterious mantra surrounded the entire wooden house, producing strange fluctuations, and the power of the five elements began to appear, and the white aura evaporated from the onmyoji and gathered on the small paper figures in the center of the formation.

Abe's pace is getting faster and faster, and the face that usually looks gentle and elegant has become extremely hideous, and a pair of eyes are even more crazy, and Liao Suke is terrified to see it, he has never seen the sect master like this, and he can't help but have a thought in his heart, is a victory or defeat really so important for the onmyoji?

That's right, the Yin and Yang Dao can indeed no longer withstand setbacks and failures, but it's just a win or loss, what if you lose? And how many people will pay attention? Is the suzerain so stressed that he loses his judgment?

Abe Shoichi is not a crazy man, he has profound spells, but he is not proud of it, on the contrary, he is extremely humble, Abe Shoichi is a person without a frame, he is polite to everyone, smiling, and people will feel extremely cordial as soon as they come into contact.

But how did such a person become like this today?

"Sect Master! Isn't that so? Is it something that hasn't been said yet, Abe Masashi looked at it with a hard gaze, with strong stubbornness and anger in his eyes, and Liaosuke's words finally couldn't be spoken, sighed secretly, and bowed back a few steps.

Abe Zhengyi's hands pinched faster and faster, almost to the point of dazzling, with his blessing, all the young onmyoji felt a powerful force behind them, and immediately lifted their spirits, concentrated on chanting incantations, and increased the pressure on the paper figures in the pentagram array with the power of their minds.

With the efforts of the onmyoji, the fluctuations in the surrounding air began to gradually become stable, but the dim light bulbs in the room began to flicker and flicker, and everyone could clearly feel that the fluctuations in the middle of the pentagram formation had reached a perfect and harmonious realm.

The fluctuations in the air continued, in the center of the pentagram array, a strange magnetic field was formed, and the air became solemn here, as if a layer of fog suddenly arose, Abe Shoichi was still chanting a mantra, but he pulled out a Japanese short knife from his waist and slowly stretched it out, with the appearance of the short knife, all the fluctuations were attracted by the short knife in his hand, converging on the blade of the short knife, and for a moment the time seemed to stop moving, but the strange thing is that the powerful power did not pass through the short knife to Abe Shoichi's body, Instead, it converged into a flashing current, and the pure current was condensing into a dazzling light.

Then Abe Shoichi gently slashed the short knife in the void, and the next moment, a black gap was drawn in the space in the center of the formation, as if a huge cloth had been cut, but what was seen from that gap was endless darkness, it was a kind of black that had never been before, black and palpitating, black to the depths of the soul, and there seemed to be a faint light flickering in the deep black.

In the black void, boundless darkness spread out, enveloping all the paper figures in the coffin, and in an instant, a powerful impact spread violently outward from the formation of the pentagram, and the electricity in a radius of hundreds of miles nearby was suddenly paralyzed, and Abe Shoichi slowly sat down, still blessing dozens of young onmyoji.

A gloomy darkness enveloped the whole wooden house, and the night breeze blew, but the wooden house could no longer be seen, as if it had fallen into eternal darkness. (To be continued......)
