The rhythm of the old man's recitation of the scriptures was subdued and frustrated, and there was a strange feeling, and if you listened carefully, you couldn't help but calm down with the other party's syllables, and lost the desire to do it.

"Be careful not to be disturbed by his scriptures."

Su Xiaoya patted Zhang Yang's arm and frowned solemnly.

This is Meiji Jingu.

The other party is an old man.

He was also wearing a black robe.

The other party is a black-clothed priest.

Zhang Yang sighed, the last thing he wanted to encounter still happened.

Sure enough, since the Jade Hall was not marked on the map of the Meiji Shrine, it meant that this was a somewhat special place, so the guards were naturally only stronger than other places, so seeing the black-clothed priest in front of him, Zhang Yang did not make much difference, and just sighed.

The last time I met Yanagi Kobayashi, he was the former great elder of the Yanagi family, and he was mainly good at martial arts, so what is the identity of this black-clothed priest today?

As if sensing the arrival of the two, the black-clothed priest stopped chanting the scriptures, and then turned around, and the two noticed that the pattern of each other's clothes was a little different from that of Yagyu Kobayashi, but the black robe was open, and inside was a set of moon-white spacious Japanese clothes, with wide sleeves, but the lower half of the body was a moon-white robe, with the surrounding scenery, it looked a bit like the early Edo period.

Click, click, click.

What made Zhang Yang vigilant was not this old man who seemed to be powerless, but an armored warrior who had been standing beside him!

In this modern steel city, it is rare to see this kind of ancient armored samurai dress. The other party's body was shrouded in armor made of fish scales and iron sheets, and even the head was hidden in a horn helmet, revealing only a pair of eyes. Holding a Japanese sword more than a meter long in his hand, he stood motionless next to the black-clothed priest.

"This old man is probably the onmyoji mentioned by my master, if it is true, then the armored warrior next to him is his Shikjin."

"Shikigami? Onmyoji? Is there really such a thing as a zài? ”

These two names, which are common in novels and comics, make Zhang Yang a little puzzled.

Su Xiaoya explained: "What's not to haunt here. Even ninjas have been passed down, so as an onmyoji who is more mysterious than ninjas, it is normal to have a lineage that has been handed down. Don't forget, in the old Sengoku period of Japan, onmyoji was a very noble profession. ”

Zhang Yang nodded thoughtfully, for the Onmyoji and Shikami. He still knows something.

Onmyoji. Or called a fortune teller, an illusionist, originated in China, good at stargazing, divination, good luck and evil, and communication with ghosts and spirits, with mysterious mana. When it comes to onmyoji, most people's first thought is Japan. This is related to the prevalence of onmyoji in Japanese legends.

In the early years of the Warring States Period, as well as the Edo Period, the daimyo and nobles were very in awe of the ghosts and gods, and the onmyoji who was rumored to be able to communicate with the ghosts and gods became a fragrant glutton, although he did not hold a lot of power, but the status of the onmyoji was extremely high, and the most famous onmyoji was none other than Abe Harumi, the great onmyoji, who has a large number of legends in Japanese folk and is revered.

In the past, Zhang Yang probably thought that the so-called onmyoji were all pretending to be gods and ghosts, but after knowing the existence of the ability and the ninja, Zhang Yang felt that the onmyoji might really be the existence of the zài, and the most commonly used fighting method of the onmyoji in anime and novels is Shikigami.

The so-called Shikami,It is the spirit body that is enslaved under the order of the Onmyoji,According to the frequency of appearance, it is divided into several categories,Souls without entities,Puppet gods with entities,There are powerful gods from the underworld,There are many gods,Maybe a scarecrow can also become a Shikjin,Obey the command of the Onmyoji.。

At this moment, this samurai was shrouded in armor all over his body, and he could not see his true face, only a faint light flickering in his eyes.

"Who are you, and why did you enter the Jade Palace?"

The voice of the black-clothed priest sounded, although it sounded a little old, but it was full of confidence, and it was obvious that the other party could not be regarded as an ordinary old man.

"I'm here to look for something, and I'll leave after I find something, I hope the master won't stop us."

Su Xiaoya spoke, and then the black-clothed priest opened his eyes and looked at the two of them, with no expression on his face.

"You need a token to enter the Jade Palace, you can only enter if you have a token, if you don't have a token, please go back the same way, I don't want to kill more."

Su Xiaoya shook her head: "Then I'm sorry." ”

Behind Su Xiaoya, carrying the sharp ancient sword with snow and iron on her back, she pulled it out at this moment and looked at the black-clothed priest, Zhang Yang understood that if she wanted to go in, she could only fight, so she was ready for battle. The black-clothed priest looked at Zhang Yang's reaction, didn't say much, and didn't see any movement, but the armored warrior beside him walked out with a click.

"I'll count to three, and if you don't leave, then don't blame me."

Three, two, one.

Swish!

The armored warrior drew his sword with his backhand and suddenly ran towards Zhang Yang and the two.

"Leave it to me, samurai, and you go find something."

Zhang Yang said to Su Xiaoya, and he directly summoned the liquid metal, which directly simulated the shape of the katana in the opponent's hand, and parried the opponent's attack.

The strength of the armored warrior was very strong, which made Zhang Yang secretly surprised, and Su Xiaoya took the opportunity to bypass the armored warrior and quickly ran towards the black-clothed priest, she knew very well some characteristics of the onmyoji, that is, she was not good at hand-to-hand combat, which was a completely different fighting style from Yanagi Kobayashi.

The summoning god battle requires the onmyoji's spiritual power to be more developed than ordinary people, and the corresponding result is that the onmyoji's physical essence cannot be so strong, and the best is only slightly stronger than ordinary people, so Su Xiaoya, who saw this shortcoming, directly drew her sword and stabbed at the other party.

Whew!

A ball of sparks appeared in the air, Su Xiaoya's eyes flashed, and a man in a white robe intercepted in front of him with an expressionless face, and the other party looked like a real person, but he couldn't feel a trace of human breath, revealing a coldness all over his body, as if he was a cold-blooded animal like a snake.

"The second Shikigami."

Zhang Yang's heart sank when he saw the appearance of the white-robed man.

As an onmyoji, summoning a shikigami to fight is a conventional way of fighting, and the quantity and quality of shikigami are what determines the strength of the onmyoji, and being able to hold the position of a black-clothed priest is probably also correspondingly strong.

Zhang Yang slashed at the armored warrior with a backhand, and was easily dodged by the other party, both of them had katanas in their hands, and they were both the kind with greater strength, so almost when the knives collided, a large string of sparks would emerge, and the armored warrior was obviously not affected by the body, and immediately pounced on him fearlessly after being shocked back by Zhang Yang.

On the other hand, on Su Xiaoya's side, the white-robed man's style god was empty-handed and unweaponized, but whenever Su Xiaoya wanted to attack the black-clothed priest, the other party would always intercept him in time, and even directly clamped Su Xiaoya's ancient sword with both hands.

Empty-handed into the white blade!

Feeling the huge resistance coming from the sword, Su Xiaoya knew that it was not a wise choice to fight hard with the other party, so she drew her sword and retreated, and the white-robed man did not catch up, and the scope of her activities was always limited to the entrance of the temple, protected by the black-clothed priest.

I don't know how the man in white did it, it turned out to be extremely hard, and Su Xiaoya wanted to break into the temple, she could only enter through the main entrance, and there were obviously other mechanisms on the other walls, but the black-clothed priest blocked the middle of the gate impartially, and there was a white-robed man-like god beside him to protect herself, so that Su Xiaoya could never get through.

Zhang Yang and Su Xiaoya tried a few tricks with each other, and found that the other party was always attacking themselves, obviously carrying out the orders of the black-clothed priest, and the other party had great strength, and there was no physical limit, and they would inevitably fall into a disadvantage if the time dragged on for a long time.

"Since the other party is a black-clothed priest, there should be more than these two gods, right?"

Zhang Yang said his guess, and Su Xiaoya explained in a low voice while forcing back the white-robed god.

"The activities of the Shikijin consume a lot of spiritual power, the more Shikijin is summoned, the stronger the strength, but the greater the consumption, the Onmyoji is likely to run out of energy before defeating the other party, so the black-clothed priest only summoned two and we delayed time, he is saving strength."

"I see."

Zhang Yang nodded.

The existence and activities of the god of the style need to be supported by the spiritual power of the owner, and the god of the style on weekdays needs to be nourished by his own flesh and blood or other ways, such as the man in the white robe in front of him, which is made by the black-clothed priest with the body of the person born in the "Yin Kui Year" selected, the so-called "Yin Kui Year" refers to the birth of the three quarters of the month and the day of the year of the Kwai Shui, such a person is born with a yin body, and it is suitable to make the zuò style god, but the black-clothed priest searched all over Japan and found this one.

And it's not enough to find the body, you have to make it at the moment when the other party just died, in fact, this man is a university teacher, and after being found by the black-clothed priest, he was directly arrested, and then killed the other party with his own hands, together with the other party's unjust soul, this white-robed god, using a real human body to make a zuò god, is easier to control than a draft wooden puppet, and the power is more considerable.

After forcing Su Xiaoya back, the white-robed god suddenly stood in front of the black-clothed priest, the black-clothed priest clasped his hands weakly, and then saw the white-robed god suddenly open his mouth, and the next moment suddenly spewed out a ball of flames, and at the same time, a bag of unknown powder was thrown out of the armored warrior, and after contact with the flames, it suddenly burst into flames!

Rumble!

As if it had been attacked by a bomb, the moment the flame and powder came into contact, the flames suddenly engulfed the figures of Zhang Yang and Su Xiaoya, and the armored warrior held the knife in his right hand, and in his left hand, he took out a thin black and shiny needle from the armor, which was obviously quenched and poisonous, and then shot into the flames.
