Chapter 21 Spirit Cards
The big tengu smiled: "This white fox has helped us, I don't know what his origin is, so I will thank him in the future." ”
The Snow Girl let out an "ah", her face changed slightly, and the six gods became ownerless.
The Great Tengu asked, "What's wrong with you, what scared you like this?" ”
The Snow Maiden's body kept trembling, and she said in a trembling voice: "That white fox! I only think that its strength is very terrifying, and I am unconsciously afraid." ”
"Oh, that's weird, with your strength, what other youkai would make you scared like this. When you were comparing wine with the wine-swallowing boy, you were still able to talk and laugh, what is this demon fox's ability?"
As she spoke, the Great Tengu noticed that she was becoming more and more afraid, and after a little contemplation, he suddenly remembered something in his head, and opened his mouth to ask, "Is it her?"
The Snow Maiden panicked, "No...... No way. I don't...... I'm not sure, here you watch first, I'll dodge first. ”
With both hands pinched and hurriedly practiced, his figure flashed, and he shot towards the sky.
Seeing that the white half-transparent fox was scratching from side to side with its paws outstretched, the Great Tengu didn't seem to have any great power, and the question arose in his heart, "Who is it?"
Kojiro fell to the ground and couldn't move, and when he saw the rolling blood crashing like a wave, he felt life and death in his heart......
Suddenly, he woke up and said, "Why have I been thinking about death lately? Is it because I came down the mountain? Or maybe I've fallen into some evil?
He was puzzled, but the blood was getting closer and closer.
When he looked up, the scorching blood was rolling in like lava, and the heavy heat slapped on his face like a fire.
Kojiro thought to himself, "I can't think about dying anymore, I need to cheer up!" and jumped to avoid the heat.
But the meridians of his whole body were swollen, and even if he used all his strength, he only moved his fingers, and the sharp pain from his body almost made him close his eyes and faint.
Just when he had nothing to do, a white fox ran out of nowhere and stood in front of him. The white fox loomed, and jumped onto his shoulder with a few light jumps.
Kojiro was a little surprised in his heart, although this white fox is small, it has to be two or two, but when it falls on his shoulder, it feels like nothing.
He thought about it for a while, but said that it was because his meridians were swollen and painful.
I saw the white fox standing on the shoulder like a lion standing on the top of the mountain, the fox's eyes were slightly glaring, and the blood was scorching and retreated back as if he saw a natural enemy.
Kojiro was overjoyed, "Now I'm saved!"
The scorching blood retreated a few steps before stopping, gathering momentum as if it were spiritual. When the momentum was exhausted, he rushed forward, and in an instant rushed over like a sea of waves.
As soon as the white fox saw it, he jumped forward lightly, raised his claws and scratched in the air, and the fierce blood slapped through it, and it quickly retreated like a meteor.
The scorching blood was very hot and violent, but the front paws of the white fox were very agile, and they were so close to touching it for a minute or two that they changed to the other paw and slapped it with a strong wind. Several rounds of attacks, all of which were repelled by its nimble claws.
The two are fierce and skillful, one heavy and one light, although the white fox is dangerous, it is always safe.
Kojiro took advantage of the moment when the white fox and the scorching blood fought to recover his physical strength.
Just now, his blood flow was accelerated by the scorching blood, and the blood broke through the freshly healed wound and flowed down the hilt of the sword to the 'Ghost Blade', where it was absorbed by the 'Ghost Blade' and then flowed back into his body again.
It's just that this time it's the opposite of Fang Cai, Fang Cai's body is extremely cold, and the blood flowing back from the 'Ghost Blade' is like boiling.
This time, his own blood was boiling, and the "Ghost Blade" went the opposite way, and the blood flowing back into his body was cold to the bone.
The two streams of blood, one hot and one cold, one yin and one yang, collided with each other in Kojiro's body and disappeared into each other.
At this moment, half of his body was cold and half of his body was hot, and when the two collided in his chest, it was like a spring breeze blowing him very comfortably.
Kojiro smiled: "It seems that I am lucky, and this experience of ice and fire is unforgettable enough." ”
He thought of the strangeness of this 'ghost blade' that Jian Shizang and the others had talked about, and said in his heart: "Isn't this sword so powerful that it really has a 'sword spirit' as they say? ”
After the baptism of the cold blood of the 'Ghost Blade', the meridians around Kojiro have gradually recovered. He picked up the 'ghost blade' and pulled a sword flower and said to the white fox, "Thank you for your great grace." ”
The white fox was concentrating on fighting with the scorching blood, and listening to his words of thanks, he couldn't help but be distracted, and he was stunned.
The scorching blood hit the white fox's face, and his face was 'sizzling', and his already ethereal figure became even more ethereal.
Kojiro knew that he was dragging down the white fox and didn't dare to say anything more, so he bowed respectfully behind the white fox to show his gratitude.
The white fox didn't see it, and glanced at Kojiro with his eyes in the interval of the counterattack, and his eyes were smart as if to say, "Let's go!"
It is said that Kojiro is silly and cute on weekdays, and he will never think of the meaning of the white fox's eyes. Today, somehow, the thinking in my mind is unusually clear, and I understand it in an instant, and I don't have to say much to rush out.
The white fox's face showed that he seemed quite satisfied, and his four claws were very fast, running wildly and opening the way at the same time.
Kojiro ran quickly, sticking out his ears to listen, and the original cry of Sisuo turned into a terrible ghost cry.
"There are really ghosts in this forest! My side is so dangerous, I don't know what happened to Qin Yao and them? I have to go back quickly to take care of them." ”
Thinking of this, Kojiro stepped up his pace, and ran faster with the 'ghost blade' in his hand.
With the white fox escort, it is better than a single person, and it will be back in less than a moment. It's just that he has been going back and forth for a long time, where can he still find the traces of Qin Yao and others?
But seeing that the white fox was still dancing its paws against the scorching blood, he looked back and looked at his face full of questions, as if to say, "Why did you stop?"
Kojiro smiled bitterly: "I don't know where to go, my friends were waiting for me here, but now that they are gone, I don't know where to look for them." ”
The white fox fought with the scorching blood more and more, and its illusory form almost became nothing, but when it heard it suddenly 'squeak' twice, it ran wildly towards the depths of the dense forest.
"Are you going to take me to them?do you know where they are?!"
The white fox squeaked twice in response, and Kojiro still dared to doubt, so he raised his sword and said, "Go!"
There is a dense forest in front of him, and the white fox jumps left and right, flickering and moving, seeing many obstacles as if there is nothing, and Kojiro is tall but not as flexible as the white fox.
He stared intently, wrote down the path that the white fox passed, and pulled out the 'ghost blade' to use the Yan Hui slashing trick, and he cut a way.
Such a slash was incomparable, and although Kojiro was delayed for some time, he was always less than five steps away from the white fox.
It's just that such a slash is extremely exhausting, and after half an hour, his shoulders are already sore, his body is tired, and he has already begun to rest when he puts his sword into the sheath.
But seeing that the white fox's body is getting lighter and lighter, his steps are getting heavier and heavier, and he is still moving and moving at an unabated speed, the white fox is still fighting so hard to save people, how dare he give up lightly when he is saved?
"You and I don't know each other but you still run for me so far, but I am ashamed to think about resting, I am really ashamed. ”
Then he took a breath and swung his sword again.
After another half an hour, Kojiro had already run for some distance, but he saw that the white fox in front of him was no longer visible, and he turned a big tree and disappeared again.
I heard the whirring behind me, and the scorching blood rolled up like a monstrous wave.
Kojiro was horrified in his heart, "I don't know the way to go, and I can't retreat against the blood, how can I do this? It seems that there are only two words for today's plan -!"
It's just that he was so tired that he couldn't walk well, and he tripped over the roots of the tree and fell to the ground, and the blood was so close that the blood wave was about to hit his body.
"If I really touch this thing, I'll become a dead man!
When he was anxious, Kojiro suddenly heard a woman shouting, "Childe!"
Kojiro followed the sound to see who else it could be if it wasn't Qin Yao, and shouted with joy in his heart: "Why are you here!"
Qin Yao stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me!"
Kojiro stretched out his hand as hard as he could, but it was still a little short, and when he couldn't make a move, he slashed back with a sword, and his body went up a few points with the strength of the rebound.
At this moment, Qin Yao pulled his hand and pulled him over.
"Bang!"
As soon as he left, the scorching waves hit the ground, hitting the spot where Kojiro had just fallen.
When everyone saw him in shock, they sat on the ground gasping for breath, and each stepped forward to comfort him.
Sun Sheng stepped forward to check his pulse for a while, "The pulse is flat and stable, it's not a big deal, it's just a little overwork." ”
After listening to what Sun Sheng said, everyone put down their hanging hearts and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Kojiro asked, "Why did you run so far?" I ran for nearly an hour before I found you. ”
Everyone was amazed and replied, "We haven't moved here!"
"What!?you didn't move, and it took me nearly an hour to find you. ”
Everyone, look at me, I look at you, and no one can say why.
Qin Yao asked, "What was chasing you just now, like magma." ”
"Don't you know? This is the blood from the tree I just felled, and it is as hot as boiling like lava!"
Qin Yao gasped, "So much blood! God bless you to return safely." ”
"Thanks to God's blessing, I met the white fox all the time, and I can come back alive. By the way, how did you know I was from here? ”
"It didn't take long for the wind and snow to stop after you left, and I couldn't wait for you to look around, and when I heard some noise over there, I ran over, and I finally saved you. ”
Kojiro gasped for breath and rested for a while, then told everyone about the ice wall at the border of the forest and the white fox he had encountered.
Qin Yao was distressed when she heard this, and threw herself into Kojiro's arms and cried, "Don't take any more risks." ”
Kojiro's mood softened, and his heart became sad when he was infected, and he gently stroked her back and said, "Don't worry, my life is too big to die." ”
Yui lowered her head and thought about it.
Although she didn't know much about the strange power and chaos, she was very good at thinking and daring to reason, and after she pondered it carefully, she asked Sun Sheng, "Have you ever seen such a powerful spirit in the wilderness when you were collecting medicine?"
Sun Sheng shook his head, "The mountain spirits are very scary, and even if they see it, they will quickly run away." Occasionally, if you encounter someone who is bold, it's just scary. ”
Jian Shizang said: "I often do tasks with my eldest brother at night, and I have never encountered this situation. To put it bluntly, let alone spirits, I haven't even seen a ghost hair. ”
Yui glanced at him and said angrily, "I haven't met you to say a fart." ”
"It's not like that...... I've never seen it, but I've heard stories about various yokai. Rumor has it that there is a kind of dryad that grows into a forest and has blood as hot as lava. On weekdays, they fall asleep, and when the logger cuts the tree, blood will come out of the wound and eat the man. ”
Yui asked Shogun, "You can't make it up, why is it so coincidental?"
"It's not made up, we ninjas often hear strange things when they find out about it. This monster lives in groups and resembles a forest, and the people of the time called it the 'Forest of Blood Mist'. ”
Yui snorted, "What you said has a nose and eyes is really the same as deliberately choreographed." So what do you say we should do, how do we escape?"
Kojiro thought that the white fox had saved him, and he kept running into the depths of the dense forest, and his brain moved slightly, "Why don't we continue to go deep into the forest, there must be a way to solve the Abe family's ability to build in such a strange forest." ”
Sun Sheng hurriedly stopped: "No, it's very strange here, and it must have nothing to do with the Abe family." I think the eldest lady of the Abe family is so arrogant, maybe the crisis you encountered is her handiwork. ”
Yui thought for a moment and asked, "According to what you said, this 'Forest of Blood Mist' was raised by the Abe family?"
"Not bad!"
"Then don't be afraid, don't forget that we are the owner of the pavilion behind us, and it can even be said that Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the Japanese Sekihaku, is also our backer. Even if they want to kill us, they have to weigh their own pounds. ”
Suddenly, Yui shouted at the top of her voice: "Abe Kosan, we have been entrusted by the owner of the museum to come here to inquire about something. I'll lend you a gut, do you dare to kill us?"
Sun Sheng said: "What are you shouting nonsense here? They can't hear it. ”
Yui pursed her mouth and replied, "I'm willing!"
shouted to the sky again: "Abe Xiaosan, you turtle grandson, miscellaneous, bastard." You're here to kill me, do you dare?"
Yui repeatedly insulted the big tengu who heard it in the air laughing, "This girl is really interesting, and many people will like her lively personality." ”
Yui kept scolding until she was out of breath, leaning on the ground and gasping for breath.
Everyone shook their heads when they saw her, and they took Yui's childish temperament very well.
After a while, Yui asked, "Did you hear any sounds?"
Kojiro sat there with a frightened face, and suddenly stood up, drew his 'ghost blade', and shouted, "Run!
"What!?"
Everyone looked flustered when they saw him, and their hearts became nervous, they had never seen Kojiro so afraid of anything.
said that it was too late, and before everyone could react, the blood came from all directions, surrounding everyone in the middle.
Qin Yao tugged at Kojiro's cuffs and said in horror: "Childe, what should we do?!"
Sun Sheng was very calm, he saw that the blood was boiling but still melting the trees, and he said with a flash of inspiration: "Quick!
Jian Shizang said: "Okay, sister-in-law, you can climb it yourself." ”
Yui broke a mouthful and said, "Who do you call sister-in-law?" ”
"Oh, it's my eldest brother's person sooner or later, and it's indispensable to call it twice. The little brother is tired and has no internal strength to fly up the tree, I took the little brother Sun Sheng and the little sister, and the sister-in-law climbed up by herself, so let's avoid this thing first. ”
Everyone looked at each other and felt that Jian Shizang's words were feasible.
Sun Sheng lowered his head and thought about it, but suddenly stopped: "Slow, this tree is very strange, we may encounter other dangers when we climb the tree, I'll go explore the way first." ”
Immediately, the luck dantian knees bent slightly, and he jumped lightly and pulled it up on the spot, and he flew several feet high with just this jump.
The Great Tengu couldn't help nodding his head when he heard Sun Sheng's words in the air, and then looked at his light body and sighed: "This kid is calm, this light skill should be the martial arts of Middle-earth-Tiyunzong!
Sun Sheng jumped up lightly and touched his hands, but he felt that the scorching heat of the trunk was not weaker than the flowing blood. I only heard the sound of '呑呑' twice, and I actually smelled a smell of burnt roasted meat.
The crowd hurriedly gathered around and asked, "How are you? Are you seriously injured?"
Sun Sheng opened his palm and saw that the place where his palm touched it was already hot, and there was faint blood on the burnt skin......
Qin Yao hurriedly said: "Doctor Sun, tell me what medicine is effective, and I'll go to your medicine box and get it for you to bandage." ”
Sun Sheng shook his head and smiled lightly and said, "No, it seems that we have to find another way, and it is not possible to climb the tree." ”
During the time they were delayed, the scorching blood had poured over like a mountain of seas, and everyone had their own moods in their hearts, but they all thought that today was going to be over.
Just when the scorching blood was about to rush towards everyone, a blue light suddenly flashed under his feet, and then a majestic breath burst out, the breath was light and gentle, like a light breeze in the mountains.
The blue light came from the soles of everyone's feet, and suddenly spread out in all directions, pushing away the scorching blood, forming a circular light shield to protect everyone.
Everyone looked at the soles of their feet, only to see that the place where the blue light emanated was actually a small spirit card. The spirit card has been corrupted and dilapidated over the years, but the five golden characters in the center, "Heaven, Earth, Jun, Pro, and Division" have not been damaged in the slightest.
The rest of the text has long been unseen, but there are four characters that are different, and Yui carefully recognized it and exclaimed: "Abe Harumi!"
When Jian Shizang heard this, he suddenly lost his voice, "What? Abe Eyeming?! This is the spirit card of the Abe family? How can they still have their ancestors here?!"
Abe is a half-demon, and his spiritual power is unparalleled in the world, and he is very domineering.
Because he is proficient in the Tao of Astronomy and the Tao of Yin and Yang, he has killed countless demons and evils, and is deeply trusted by the royal family. He has repeatedly held important positions such as Doctor Zuo Jingquan and Harima Mamoru and has been ranked in the fourth official rank.
But as an aristocrat, he has never had a ruling class posture, and every time he goes out of Kyoto, he exterminates demons for ordinary people for free, and is deeply loved by the people. So much so that in the Edo period, there was a saying, "I don't know the source of Yoshitsune, but I know the clear and the wise." ”
At that time, his old enemy, the Domo mage, Ashiya Michimitsu, attracted a group of demons to attack the Abe family, and was defeated by Harumi alone.
defeated the demons of the world with the power of one person, and later generations called him the strongest onmyoji throughout the ages!
