Chapter 242 Clouds under a Clear Sky
"Who's to say it's not, as long as the matter on Venerable Huyan's side is successfully concluded, we will be able to worry less. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" The sorrow of the soul remembered what he heard about what happened in the last holy place when he contacted Song Chengjie not long ago, and snorted coldly through the door, "This Qiao Cang Sakura is really a virtue from before, and every time I see her, there will definitely be nothing good." ”
Looking at the grief of the soul humming, Hayato tugged at the chains around him, and smiled helplessly: "Why, still hold a grudge against those things in the past." ”
Stared at the door panel and didn't speak, and after a while, the sorrow of the soul nodded and admitted, after all, he has existed in the world since ancient times as an instrument spirit, although more than ten years of time is just a flick of his fingers compared to his life, but he has really never experienced such a grievance in his life.
was calculated by others, used by others, and there was no reason to talk about it at all, thinking about the one who had been in Dongying during that time, it was uncomfortable, and the sorrow of the soul still felt uncomfortable.
has been with his old partner for decades, and Soul Grief can roughly guess what Hayabusa is thinking about now, and he can't help but be helpless, but the only thing he has to do now is to persuade: "I know you can't figure it out, but it's been so long, and besides, this time, as long as they show something, we can let it go, so don't make any more trouble." ”
"I know, I know...... I'm not a child. I don't know if it's because of Hayato's persuasion or because he was able to let go and do a big job, the soul grief snorted softly, turned around and slowly floated to the window with a look of not caring about the villain, looking at the cool moonlight outside, and couldn't help but sigh, "Time flies so fast, it's autumn again." ”
In the hall across the door, the noisy environment cannot be expressed with human voices. At first, some people pretended to go to Sakurako Okura with wine glasses and wanted to talk a few words or invite her to dance together, but after more than a dozen people were politely refused, those exorcists could understand it, and people didn't want to pay attention to themselves at all.
But think about it, although these people present in Hongchuan City bowed their heads and didn't look up, and a few of them still had names like captains and often received flattery from their colleagues, but for Qiao Cang Sakurako, those were just things that were not worth mentioning, and she was the person in charge of the Yin-Yang Juku after all, and there were very few common topics between these ordinary exorcists. Of course, it wasn't impossible for her to talk to these people, but when a high-minded being suddenly became interested in those who looked up to her, who knew if it was just talking.
But in addition, there is another reason why she is too lazy to deal with these people who come to talk to her, that is, with her hundreds of years of experience, do these people have any other careful thoughts, and she can't see it?
It can be regarded as self-aware, watching one by one colleagues being rejected and shaking their heads awkwardly back to their original positions, the remaining exorcists who were eager to say a few words finally gave up and started talking to each other with the people around them. And the content of the conversation between the exorcists is nothing more than some daily work and the like, but these people are all busy all day, and they all want to sleep when they mention work, so they simply play their talents together in groups of three or five, and for a time the whole hall is full of disordered spiritual power and colorful techniques, and they look crazy.
Among them, within at least five or six meters of Qiaocang Sakurako's surroundings, it was like a pure land, and few people cared about it.
However, this does not mean that the interest of those exorcists in her has disappeared, because even so, Qiao Cang Sakura still feels a little obscure sight, as for what kind of filthy inner is hidden in that heat, she doesn't care so much, she just eats and drinks when she should eat, and is used to it.
"I really wanted to gouge out that kid's eyes, and I looked this way for more than a minute, and my saliva was almost hanging in his glass. Qiao Cangjin looked in a certain direction, grinding his teeth with an unhappy face as he spoke, "Mother, why don't we send you back, it's simply defiling your existence here." ”
"Uh-huh, hum-roar......" Under the cover of the small fan, Qiao Cang Sakura's mouth was already stuffed with oil, so that her speech was slurred. It took a long time to swallow the food in her mouth, she took a sip of the red bar and smashed her mouth and said, "It's rare to have such good food, if you don't eat it in vain, why are you in a hurry to go back." Come on, come on, don't stand stupidly either, I didn't see that everyone was playing, and Zhenghuan didn't have time to take care of you, so sit down and eat quickly. Hey Jinyi, you bring the plate of almonds on the table next to me, I'm embarrassed to go over. ”
twitching the corners of his mouth, Qiao Cangjin glanced at Qiao Cang Sakura, and found that she was really looking at the small half plate of nuts on the table not far away, and walked over with a sigh and took the plate and put it in front of her respectfully: "I said Mother, is it really okay for us to enjoy it so much here, the two younger brothers are still in the last holy land." ”
"Jin Yi, to be a man, you have to leave a line in everything, you have brought this plate, how can others eat it. Who knew that Qiao Cang Sakurako completely ignored his words, and while reaching out to grab the nuts and throwing them into his mouth, he put on a posture of a parent training a child, "You can't do this in the future, you have to ...... for others."
Qiao Cangjin almost didn't suffocate in one breath, two green tendons bulged out on his forehead in an instant, he reached out and grabbed the plate and said, "Then I'll send them back." ”
"Don't don't, don't ......" Qiao Cang Sakurako hurriedly pressed Qiao Cang Jinyi's hand, and a soft force rushed into his body along his wrist, shaking him away two or three meters away, looking at Qiao Cang Jinyi who shook his hand, Qiao Cang Sakurako chuckled and bit the nuts, and said, "You are still too anxious, in the past, I was so abrupt that the dark energy could shock you back?"
Flicking his numb arm, Qiao Cang Jinyi lowered his head and pulled out a chair and sat next to Qiao Cang Sakura, and asked with doubts: "I know that the thoughts of my mother are not something that we can imagine, but it is because I don't know that I don't know that I don't know the bottom of my heart." Before, because of the mistakes of the three of us, the whereabouts of the famous family knife are still unknown, and you even went there yourself for that matter...... But at this time, you are sitting here eating and drinking uncharacteristically, I really don't understand. ”
"After all, the knife was thrown out by Yui, and it is understandable for him to stay there to take care of the injured Yuji. And, because I'm worried about that thing, I'm going to sit here now. Sakurako Qiao glanced in the direction of Hayato when they went out, raised her hand and pointed to the hall, and said softly, "The qi in this hall is disordered, and it seems to be done at random, but do you think Hayato and they can really leave so safely?"
Shaking his head, Qiao Cang Jinyi was still very impressed with Hayato, at the beginning, under the leadership of Tuyumen Hikatsu, the name of Hayato was resounding throughout the Dongying Onmyoji world: "Absolutely not." Our hostile relationship with them has become semi-open, and I don't think it's normal for him to be gone at this time. ”
"But he was gone, at least in my perception that there was no longer his breath in the hall. Qiao Cang Sakurako said and pushed the empty plate in front of her forward, propped her arms on the table and covered her mouth with a satisfied face and hiccuped quietly, "But before he left, he deliberately left words to disturb the qi here, in order to hide the breath of those chains of soul sorrow." ”
Speaking of which, Kyokura Kanichi also understood, don't look at Hayato now, they are not here, but as long as Kyokura Sakura has any movement, Hayato will be able to grasp it immediately, and at this time, if Kyokura Sakura shows concern about the knife and rushes to the last holy place, Hayato They can definitely take a step forward and prepare.
"I see...... Tonight looks like it's a time to compete in endurance. Qiao Cangjin looked at the dried fruits on the table as soon as he said that, and suddenly he had an appetite, but when he just wanted to stretch out his hand, Qiao Cang Sakura's slender jade hand had already grabbed the plate, and he had to reluctantly put his hand back on the saber, "What about them?"
"Well, it's also because of this that they don't let Yuji come, it's like playing shogi, using an indifferent chess piece, watching the opponent's main force, at least through tonight, Yuji's injury is good, and we can be regarded as having more strength, although he is just a person who can use his head, but maybe he can use it somewhere. ”
Qiao Cang Jinyi didn't dare to compliment this, although the four of them were indeed inseparable from each other sometimes, but in the end they were still brothers, and when their lives were at stake, Qiao Cang Jinyi would definitely not do anything to use other people, and he was actually very disgusted with Qiao Cang Sakura's plan, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to laugh and stop making a sound.
Looking at Konichi Qiaokura, and then at the people in the hall, Sakurako Qiaokura smiled meaningfully.
The reason why she eats and drinks here so calmly, in addition to the reasons she told Qiao Cang Jinyi before, the most important point is that she can see that there are a lot fewer people here today, and except for Song Chengjie, who was unable to be present because of some of her own small means, the person she wanted to see the most this time did not come.
His Holiness Huyan......
This person who made Qiao Cang Sakurako the ultimate goal of her trip, although there was information that he was sure that he was in Hongchuan, but he didn't see his shadow at all at this kind of meeting today, and the entire branch didn't feel any warlock breath at all, so since she entered the hall, Qiao Cang Sakura has decided, isn't it going to be a stamina today, just wait.
The number of exorcists is completely inconsistent with the intelligence, and it is even said that the people I saw in front of me were barely one-third of the left-behind personnel of the Hongchuan branch, after all, Qiao Cangxi and Qiao Cangxiao had already come to find Song Chengjie before Qiao Cang Sakurako arrived, and they also figured out some basic information at that time.
One or two less, of course Qiao Cang Sakura will not care, standing guard on duty or being unwell, there are always some reasons to be absent, but there are so many people missing at once, plus the most important Huyan Venerable is not present, she probably has a plan, it seems that the other party is doing something, not only most of the manpower has been transferred, but also the confidentiality work is also in place.
Since there would be a danger of being calculated if she left early, Sakurako Qiao simply decided to wait until the end of the welcome party, and after everyone dispersed, Hayato would not rush to follow him, no matter how curious he was, and then he would be able to get out and look around, maybe he would be able to complete the goal in advance.
Qiao Cang Sakurako thought well, almost two-thirds of the exorcists were not present, this kind of thing is indeed very suspicious, but what she didn't expect was that the exorcists who were not here were not all busy fighting for the shield of justice or Song Chengjie, for example, the people in the medical class, they were now taking advantage of the cover of night, with their respective rebels, secretly gathered in front of the hundred steps outside the branch gate.
History is always so similar.
Three years ago, the king of the earth suddenly descended on Hongchuan and led an army of tens of thousands of monsters to start the battle of the night, and the exorcist stationed in Hongchuan on this hundred-step ladder held on all night with his flesh and blood, and finally thwarted the attack of the king of the earth......
More than three months ago, Starz, the head of the Blood Clan, the mastermind of the War of the Three Clans, stepped on the hundred-step ladder with the King of the Earth, but finally ended up in a tragic death......
About three weeks ago, due to the instigation and organization of the military department, Song Chengjie was subjected to a military mutiny on this hundred-step ladder, and then had to choose to forcibly suppress the riot in the bloodiest way......
Three days after the mutiny, the remnants of the military headquarters once again organized the people to riot, and the sigh of the wind, which guarded the hundred steps, showed its true power to ordinary humans for the first time......
Now, once again, the ill-intentioned people have gathered, their cheeks already illuminated by the fire of the branch, and what will be the fate of those faces full of greed, excitement, insecurity, and madness?
In the city, Venerable Huyan gasped slightly, wiped the sweat on his forehead, looked back at the extremely eye-catching branch in the distance, looked at the long yellow sand in front of him that was turned silver like snow by the moonlight, adjusted his breath and took out the map, carefully checked his position with the help of the starry sky, and slowly raised a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Seeing him like this, Ming knew that he was almost going to call it a day, so he looked at the exhausted exorcists around him without a trace, slowly walked over and deliberately raised his voice and said: "Huyan boy, it's almost over, I'm so hungry that my chest is close to my back, let's go eat something when it's finished early." ”
Slightly stunned, Venerable Huyan looked at the eyes that looked at him, and he also understood. I've been constantly emphasizing the progress.,These people don't know much about spells so they don't know when they'll be able to complete the task.,Come to think of it plus now that night is falling.,There should be some impatience and anxiety.,It's time to cheer everyone up.,Relieve negative emotions.。
"The whole line can be completed by advancing about 200 meters, and everyone will be able to rest. ”
Although the voice was not loud, Venerable Huyan was cheered up as soon as he finished speaking, and the exorcists spread the word of mouth one by one, and they were all energized in the face of the final workload.
Ming also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, came to Huyan's side and looked around, and whispered: "If it's done, go back to the last holy place to have a look, after so long, my fire dragon also has some meaning of the end of the crossbow." (To be continued.) )
