Haruhiko looked at it for a moment.

Although there are changes, there is no pattern, and there is a lot of randomness.

He quickly looked away.

This serpentine light and shadow is quite exquisite, and even the lines on the snakeskin are reflected.

It feels like someone has been carefully crafted.

Just why waste so much effort?

But considering that this was done by people who believe in the Great Snake of Yagi, perhaps the main thing is the symbolism.

Haruhiko withdrew his gaze and swept around.

Thirty people were watching, but just like him, nothing was gained, all were silent.

"Miyaji-sama."

Half an hour later, Siminjiang asked, "Why don't I call more people over?" ”

"This is the remains of Takamagahara."

Hoshino Aoi shook her head and said lightly, "The Edo Archaeological Bureau will not agree." ”

According to the rules, only thirty people can come in.

Even if it's Izumo Shrine, there will be no exceptions.

"And I can't even see it, so I don't need to talk about them."

Hoshino Aoi added.

Xi Minjiang nodded when he heard this.

Indeed it is.

The vision of the fifth order is extraordinary, and the rest of the people at Izumo Shrine are all less than the fifth order, so it is a waste of time to call them.

"Aunt Aoi."

Haruhiko suddenly had an idea and asked, "Although this High Heaven Plain Ruins is full of spiritual energy, this serpentine light and shadow has not dispersed for thousands of years, is there something that is constantly absorbing the spiritual energy of the outside world?" ”

Hoshino Aoi's heart was shocked, she didn't answer, and turned her head to look at the serpentine light and shadow above her head.

Psionic energy is magical, but psionic energy in the wild is too loose.

If there is no external interference, just like oxygen, there will be no change in form.

Under normal circumstances, the serpentine light and shadow have been corroded for thousands of years, and they will be more or less refined, and they will be different.

But now it still looks like it was just yesterday.

Hoshino raised her hand and waved.

Intense spiritual energy erupted from the palm of his hand, reaching a serpentine light and shadow in an instant.

As soon as it came into contact, it was like a meteorite colliding and bursting out like ripples.

"Be careful!"

Ximinjiang was quick and recognized a jewel.

The blue light quickly diffused, forming a shield that blocked out the aftermath.

Hoshino Aoi's complexion did not change, maintaining the output of psionic energy in his right hand, and taking out a Kagura bell in his left hand.

The usual Kagura bell is three-layered, but this one is nine-layered.

As soon as the bell rang, an almost infinite amount of psionic energy rose like a tsunami.

In the blink of an eye, the entire serpentine light and shadow were covered.

Even more terrible fluctuations spread outward.

Seeing this, Hoshino Hotaru flashed a cold light in her eyes.

Her lips twitched, as if some power had been unraveled and burst through her body.

Haruhiko's breath stagnated and he couldn't help but retreat.

This momentum has already surpassed the ordinary fourth order.

A silky crystal cloth appeared in front of them, blocking out all fluctuations.

Haruhiko suddenly raised an eyebrow.

He noticed Rin Hoshino's surprised expression.

What is the reason?

Haruhiko speculated wildly, could it be that she didn't know Hoshino Hotaru had such strength? Or is it a forbidden technique?

Of course, he didn't want to ask anything.

In the face of Hoshino Aoi's strong strength, the serpentine light and shadow finally couldn't support it and gradually dissipated.

But there's nothing special.

Until a knife appeared in the belly of the snake.

Hoshino Aoi's heart moved, and under the pull of spiritual energy, the sword fell down, and was finally held in her hand.

She swept her eyes, her pupils shrinking suddenly.

The sword is equipped with a scabbard.

I don't know what material the scabbard is made of, and it exudes a cold aura.

There is also a snake carved on it.

It's almost different from the serpentine light and shadow.

The only difference is that it has eight heads.

In Dongying, this image can be described as a household name.

Mt. Ibuki Daimyojin, Yaki Orochi.

Hoshino Aoi was silent for a while, grabbed the hilt of the knife, and pulled it out.

But the expectation turned into disappointment.

There is only half of the sword in it.

No matter how powerful it is, it has become scrap metal.

Hoshino Aoi flicked the blade of the knife, and it felt strange, as if she was flicking a large rock that was extremely heavy.

She pumped psionic energy into it, but nothing happened.

"It's a pity it's bad."

Hoshino Aoi shook her head and said, "If you find the other half, it may be useful." ”

"I'm afraid it's hard to find."

"Judging from its preservation method, the other half should not be in the ruins here." ”

The serpentine light and shadow are conspicuous, but they are also extremely hidden.

Even if someone notices it, it still needs to have the strength of the fifth order to dispel it.

There is no doubt that this sword is quite precious.

If the other half had been there, it should have been fixed long ago.

The only explanation is that they can't find it.

Now that thousands of years have passed, it is estimated that it will be very difficult to find Izumo Shrine.

Therefore, Hoshino Aoi felt a pity.

However, this trip to the ruins has been extraordinary.

There are quite a few fourth-order spiritual tools.

The rest of the low-level spirit tools are even more numerous.

Take it back, tinker with it, and you can use it or auction it.

Enough to support the expenses of Izumo Shrine for several years.

"Can you show me?"

Haruhiko asked curiously.

Hoshino Aoi casually threw the sword to him.

The spirit tools that have lost their effect are of little value to her.

What's more, if you really want to repair it, I don't know how much energy and time it will take.

It is also a fifth-order spirit tool, and it is far more difficult to repair than to build.

Haruhiko took it, and the game prompt sounded.

[Name: Akashi.] 】

[Condition: Broken.] 】

[Rank: Sixth Order.] 】

[Effect: Unknown.] 】

[Note: The ninth sword of the god of punishment created by Yaki Orochi and Ashiya Michiman was broken by Amaterasu, and the whereabouts of the other half of the sword are unknown.] 】

Haruhiko subconsciously clenched the handle of the knife.

A few lines of words with so much information that he almost screamed.

Isn't the sixth-order spirit tool a weapon used by the gods, that is, an artifact?

In fact, its remarks confirm this.

It is made by Yaki Orochi and Ashiya Michimitsu.

Needless to say, the former is an old acquaintance of Haruhiko.

The latter is not a god, but a human onmyoji.

In the history of Toei, the most powerful and famous onmyoji is recognized as Abe Haruaki.

But he is not without opponents.

For example, Ashiya Michiman.

In many legends, his strength is no worse than that of Abe Haruaki.

Only he was eventually defeated and exiled.

The so-called success and defeat are naturally the most fame Abe Harumaki has gained.

But it is undeniable that Ashiya Michiman is powerful.

What Haruhiko didn't expect was that he actually had a connection with Yagi Orochi.

Obviously, he is an onmyoji, not a priest.

After being shocked, Haruhiko was puzzled.

What kind of divine weapon is this so-called Nine Swords of the Gods, which actually provoked the Great God of Amaterasu to attack?

But it's a pity that it's broken and loses its effect.

And the whereabouts of the other half of the blade are unknown.

If the game doesn't prompt it, Haruhiko is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack if he wants to find it.

"Westminster, you'll harvest and clean up the ruins and make a list."

Hoshino Aoi said in an indifferent tone.

"Yes!"

Westminster replied immediately.

"Haruhiko."

Hoshino Aoi suddenly shouted.

"Aunt Aoi, what's the matter?"

Haruhiko came back to his senses and asked.

"I've heard Hotaru say that you can take a fourth-order spiritual energy or three third-order spiritual tools for yourself."

Hoshino Aoi said casually.

It's like a reward for meritorious deeds.

But those who are familiar with her character find it a little weird.

That's too generous.

According to the rules of Izumo Shrine, as the third order, the reward that can be obtained is the third order.

Moreover, where are three third-order spirit tools comparable to a fourth-order spirit tool?

This is clearly to let him choose the fourth-order spirit tool.

Haruhiko didn't understand the reasoning, but he also felt that Hoshino Aoi was really good to him.

However, he actually has no shortage of spiritual tools.

When Hequan Shou repairs at the same time, he can still have a fifth-order spirit tool.

If you really want to choose, choose a defensive or support spirit tool.

It's just that he has a lot of life-saving means.

"Aunt Aoi, can I choose this sword?"

Haruhiko shook the Akashi in his hand and asked.

"The knife was so badly damaged that it couldn't be used, and it was hard to repair."

Hoshino Aoi reminded.

"It's fine."

Haruhiko said with a smile.

"Then here you go."

Hoshino Aoi glanced at him and didn't say anything more.

"Thank you, Aunt Aoi."

Haruhiko secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, it was a broken knife.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to get it.

In addition, Hoshino Aoi and the others couldn't recognize its rank.

If you know that it is the sixth order, even if it is a broken knife, it is also worth a lot.

The end of the matter.

Thirty men were again divided into two groups.

The members of the original exploration team would stay behind to take inventory.

If not, nature will return to the ground.

For example, Aoi Hoshino, Rin Hoshino, and Hoshino Hoshino.

It was because of the special nature of the stone gate that they temporarily served as members of the exploration of the ruins.

If there are no ruins on weekdays, you won't be able to go to the ruins of Takamagahara.

The same is true for Haruhiko.

Through the teleportation array, the four of them reappeared in a shopping building.

"Haruhiko-kun, are you going to Izumo Shrine?"

In the car, Rin Hoshino asked.

"After a day's delay in the ruins, I'll go home first, and Izumo Shrine will visit next time."

Haruhiko thought for a moment and said.

Not seen for a day, such as every other three autumns.

He still misses Yukihime and Tsuchiomon Mari.

"That's fine."

Rin Hoshino nodded and said, "Just to give you a ride." ”

At the entrance of the building, Aoi Hoshino called a car.

The driver is a priest of Izumo Shrine.

She sat in the passenger seat.

Haruhiko and Sister Hoshino sat in the back row.

Rin Hoshino sat in the middle, separating Hoshino Hotaru.

It's just that Haruhiko can still feel her gaze.

What he wanted to say was not to be so obvious.

Fortunately, Rin Hoshino didn't pay attention.

"Haruhiko-kun, why do you want to choose a spirit tool that can't be used temporarily?"

"My teacher is a Chiyo woman."

Haruhiko casually made up a reason and said, "This Taidao must be a fifth order, I want her to take a look." ”

"I see."

Rin Hoshino smiled, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and asked, "How did it feel to explore the ruins with us this time?" ”

"It's interesting."

Haruhiko told the truth.

"I'll call you next time."

Rin Hoshino looked at him expectantly, her eyes full of a twinkling glimmer.

"I'm sure I will."

Haruhiko doesn't mind eating soft rice a few more times.

After all, the harvest is too big.

Aside from those psionic powers, this sixth-order Akashi alone was already unpredictable.

Although it can't be used for the time being, since it is obtained, it means that it is very likely to be involved in the future plot.

As a game, you won't design a meaningless high-level spirit device.

When I arrived at the University of Tokyo's South Park, Haruhiko got out of the car.

He waved to Rin Hoshino and the others.

After a while, the car was gone.

Haruhiko's phone vibrates.

He took it out and saw that it was Hoshino's message.

"Whatever spirit apparatus you want, I can get it for you."

Izumo Shrine is full of priests, but most of the relics obtained from this relic are Taidao spirit tools.

They don't need it.

Hoshino Hotaru thinks that Haruhiko is a swordsman, and these spirit tools can be used.

But he only took a broken knife, which was completely meaningless.

So she exhibited an unprincipled liking.

"No, you don't."

Haruhiko typed in response, "I don't need any spiritual tools. ”

Hoshino Hotaru thought of his identity and didn't say anything more.

After all, he really wanted any spiritual equipment, and he could mention it to the Tuyumen clan or Chiyo Nu.

Haruhiko waited for a moment, and when she didn't respond, she put away her phone.

He came to the door of the house and took out the key directly to open it.

It's morning, and Yukihime hasn't come home, so naturally there is no one to greet her.

When he opened the door, the sound alarmed the demons in the living room.

Haruhiko saw a flower in front of him, and Izumi jumped on his face excitedly, and he chirped twice.

He didn't even react, so he was taken advantage of.

"Master!"

Izumi rubbed his face and said, "Welcome home." ”

Haruhiko felt a little itchy.

It's still quite soft, though.

He reached out and grabbed Izumi, placed it on his shoulder, and then took off his shoes.

Lime stood up, still looking like a peacock, and greeted him.

It's happy, but it's elegant.

As for the Dongyu of the Shrine Temple, he was even more unmoved, and after glancing at him, he ignored it.

Haruhiko entered the living room and took out Akashi.

"Master, how did this knife break?"

Lime asked curiously.

"If you get it, it's broken."

Haruhiko explained, looked at Izumi again, and asked, "You are the scabbard, can you recognize the material of this blade?" ”

"Yes!"

Izumi held his head high and said proudly, "There is no one in the world who knows swords better than me!" ”

She flew up from Haruhiko's shoulder and landed on the blade again.

Although she is very small, her feet still look cramped when she steps on it.

Izumi closed his eyes, and after a few seconds, he suddenly fell down.

Haruhiko hurriedly caught her.

"This ...... Material...... There is a problem. ”

Izumi's body trembled, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"What's the problem?"

Haruhiko runs the night fire of Yuge to help her warm up.

"It's cold."

Izumi shook slightly from the warm current, the expression on her face soothed, and she said in a puzzled tone, "I've never seen this material. ”

Haruhiko raised an eyebrow.

It's the same as not saying it.

But Izumi's next sentence shook his heart.

"It's not the material of this world."

Jinguji Fuyugo raised his head.

She got up and walked over.

Seeing this, Haruhiko put the sword in front of her.

Jinguji Winter Guardian lifted the white fox's right foot and pressed it on the blade.

After a while, I took it back again.

But she didn't say anything.

Haruhiko knew that she didn't want to be exposed in front of Izumi and Lime.

He then excused himself and went back to his room to wait.

Soon, the figure of Jinguji Dongyu appeared.

"Materials from the outside world, aliens."
