"Can you weigh the same weight as you do now? So it's not that your physical strength is not good, it's just because you've grown up. Aoba comforted Uesugi Maki like this.

"Brother Aoba, you want to say that I'm much fatter than before, right?" Unexpectedly, Uesugi Maki understood Aoba's words so much, and immediately said dissatisfied.

"No, I didn't mean that at all, I just said that you are in better shape now than before. Aoba immediately seized the opportunity to remedy.

"How does Brother Aoba know my previous figure?" Uesugi Maki squinted at Aoba, obviously saying that if Aoba didn't answer well, the consequences would be unpredictable.

"Although I don't know, I can guess it, how can a child have the devilish body like Sister Maki now!" Aoba said serious nonsense.

"You have a point. Uesugi Maki, who was almost catching her breath, did not continue to hold on to Aoba, but finally began to shift her attention to the temple behind her.

"Is this the temple?Uesugi family's temple?" Aoba asked out loud when he saw that Uesugi Maki was finally wheezing evenly, turned around and began to pay attention to the temple behind him.

"That's right, this is it, the temple of the Uesugi family! I visited here a few times when I was a child, and except for one puja, the rest were all secret, but I didn't find anything. Uesugi Maki explained, a hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

That's right, it's unwilling.,Obviously, Uesugi Maki is not willing to find out nothing.,Although it's long past the age of the second middle school.,No longer fantasize about any supernatural abilities and the like.,But for this childhood closest to him.,I've fantasized about it countless times.,The place where you can make yourself a legendary onmyoji.。 Uesugi Maki still maintained the last bit of unwillingness.

It was this kind of unwillingness that made her come here even at this age when she didn't believe in these things for a long time, wanting to finalize something.

"Didn't you find anything, maybe you can find something today, Sister Maki!" said Aoba meaningfully.

"Forget it, I'm long past the age of believing in those things, and I'm just here today to make myself die at the end!" Uesugi Maki didn't understand the meaning of Aoba's words at all. Or even if you hear it, you don't believe it.

In this way, Uesugi Maki took the lead and walked towards the temple, so Aoba followed closely to the temple.

At this moment, the temple was pitch black, and when you looked through the closed window, you could only see that there was nothing in the dark.

Uesugi Maki walked to the gate of the temple, stretched out his hand and pushed, but easily pushed the door of the temple open.

"What's the matter?, is it so unlocked?" Aoba said a little puzzled as she watched Uesugi Maki easily push open the door.

"It's never locked here, it's a barren mountain after all, and basically no one will come! Even if there is a lock in this kind of place, it's useless!" said Uesugi Maki with a shrug.

"Understood, so I don't need to lock it at all!" Aoba nodded knowingly.

"Alright Aoba-kun, let's go inside!" Uesugi Maki shone the light of the flashlight in his hand into the temple as he spoke, and walked towards the temple first.

Naturally, Aoba also used a flashlight to illuminate the way ahead, and followed Uesugi Maki into the temple.

However, as the two entered the temple, in an instant, Aoba felt the surging of the surrounding ghostly energy, as if he had awakened something. The surrounding ghostly aura surged along with the awakened being.

However, the being did not seem to be completely awakened, but only reacted to someone entering its chassis. Therefore, after a moment of surging ghostly energy around him, he regained his calm.

And because of the surging of ghostly energy, a gloomy wind suddenly blew in the temple, making Uesugi Maki can't help but wrap his clothes tightly.

"What's going on, where did the wind come from?" Uesugi Maki shrank his head and wondered, if it weren't for the flashlight in his hand, but a candle or something, he would have been blown out by this gust of wind at this time.

"It's normal for the wind to blow in the middle of the night!" said Aoba with a shrug. At the same time, he used a flashlight to shine around the temple, looking at everything in the temple.

"What's normal, this is in the house!Why is there a gust of wind for some reason!" Uesugi Maki still couldn't let go.

"Maybe it's the convection that has just been opened in the house, but it's not okay anyway, so don't worry about it so much. Aoba tried to divert Maki Uesugi as much as possible. Let her think elsewhere, otherwise if she really scares herself, she may really be frightened.

A lot of times people aren't really scared by ghosts or anything like that, they're just scared of themselves.

"But it's so cold in this temple, and it always feels eerie. Uesugi Maki was finally distracted by Aoba, but began to focus on the rest of the world.

"How can you not be eerie when you run out into the wilderness in the middle of the night!" Aoba explained, as the flashlight shone towards the altar in the middle of the temple, and walked there to take a closer look.

Maybe it was because he accepted Aoba's explanation, but after wrapping up his clothes tightly, Uesugi Maki didn't think much about connecting all this with ghosts and the like, but came to Aoba's side and shone the flashlight towards the things enshrined on the altar.

"It's said that the Shikigami enshrined in the family is there, but I've been here several times as a kid and haven't found anything out of it!" explained Uesugi Maki, pointing to something on the altar.

"You've touched that thing?" said Aoba, pointing to the two bamboo-like things that were enshrined side by side on the altar.

"I moved, but the two bamboo tubes were embedded in the stone at the base of the altar, and they couldn't be pulled out at all. Uesugi Maki blurted out.

"You tried to pull it out?" Aoba looked at Maki Uesugi with a look of surprise.

"When I was a child, I didn't know anything, so I secretly came here and tried to pull it out, but unfortunately I couldn't pull it out at all. Uesugi said with an embarrassed expression on her face.

"So you jumped up to the altar and pulled out this bamboo tube there?" Aoba looked at Uesugi Maki speechlessly, it was strange that she made such a move, and she was not killed by that Shikigami!

You must know that the bamboo tube is where Shikigami lives. And Uesugi Maki's move of jumping on the altar to pull out the bamboo tube is simply provocative.

I wasn't killed by Shikigami, I can only say that this Shikigami is indeed a kind child! Because Aoba has already used his divine sense to probe at this time, these two Shikigami are indeed actively sleeping, not sealed.

However, taking the initiative to sleep does not mean that Uesugi Maki's behavior of jumping to the altar and pulling out the bamboo tube will not wake up these two Shikigami.

That's right. Shikigami is two, not the legendary one, this is indeed a bit unexpected by Aoba, but Aoba didn't expect it at first, the Uesugi family's Shikigami is still a pair of twins.

"Okay, okay, I was young and ignorant at that time, and I was a little rebellious, so now I definitely won't do this kind of thing of pulling bamboo tubes. Uesugi Maki looked at Aoba's speechless expression towards herself, and she became a little embarrassed.

"Okay. All I can say is that you're lucky enough. Aoba sighed and nodded.

"What luck is good enough?" said Maki Uesugi puzzled.

"Speaking of which, when you first came here to pull bamboo tubes, it must have been daytime, right?" Aoba did not answer Uesugi Maki's question, but continued to ask.

"yes, what's wrong?" said Maki Uesugi puzzled.

"Sure enough, if you go up and try to pull the bamboo tube now, even if Shikigami doesn't treat you well, I guess you'll be scared, and even if something happens because of excessive fright. Aoba shook his head and said.

"Brother Aoba, what the hell are you talking about?" said Uesugi Maki as she became more and more unable to understand what Aoba was saying.

"Well, when you came here to pull bamboo tubes when you were a child. I've woken them up from their slumber, but they don't do anything to you! But if it were a dark night like this, if they didn't pay attention to the astringent breath, you would see them wake up, and you would be scared. Coupled with the impact of the ghost qi, it is also possible to be frightened into a mental disorder in a serious way, and the ghost qi impact that is borne at night. It's not the same level as the daytime! Even if the Shikigami here doesn't have hurtful thoughts, this kind of ghost energy that leaks out inadvertently can still kill you. Aoba reminded.

"What do you mean? Brother Aoba is trying to say that there really is a Shikigami here? Is it just because it was daylight that I didn't see it before? If I pull out this bamboo tube now, I can see them?" Uesugi Maki summed up the information from Aoba's words.

"Actually, you don't have to pull the bamboo tube. Just knock on the bamboo tube with a twig or something to wake them up. Aoba explained.

"How is this possible, Brother Aoba is really joking, where is there any Shikigod in this world!" Uesugi Maki looked unconvinced, but the hesitation in his tone was still easy to hear.

"Don't worry, I'm here, Sister Maki, you'll be fine. Aoba said with a smile that reassured Maki Uesugi.

Indeed, with Aoba's support, the ghost impact naturally couldn't do any more damage to Uesugi Maki, and she was at most startled by the awakened Shikigami.

However, thinking of Uesugi Maki's dedication to Shikigami, Aoba still decided to let Uesugi Maki make her own choice, or give her a chance to choose her own path in life.

"Brother Aoba, what you said is true?" Uesugi Maki hesitated.

"Sister Zhenxi, if you don't do anything now, if we go back immediately, then everything can be treated as if nothing happened, you are still an ordinary office worker, get married and have children in the future, and continue to live your peaceful but happy life! But if you choose to do what I say now, to wake up the words of Shikigami, then what will happen to your fate in the future when you come into contact with the abnormal side of this world, I don't know, all these choices are yours. Aoba looked at Maki Uesugi and said with a smile but a serious face.

"A peaceful but happy life? I don't know what a happy life is, maybe I'm happy now, but I'm still longing for some changes, or maybe I'm not willing to be an ordinary person in my bones, so let's make this change more violent!"

So immediately after, Uesugi Maki stretched out his hand to the bamboo tube enshrined on the altar.

didn't jump directly to the altar to pull out the bamboo tube like when she was a child, after all, Uesugi Maki is also an adult now, she just stretched out her hand towards the bamboo tube that was not very far away, but when she was about to touch the bamboo tube, she stopped with a slight hesitation.

"Brother Aoba, what you just said is true?" Uesugi Maki finally confirmed.

"Of course, what I said is true. Aoba nodded indifferently.

"I understand, then my sister will believe you once. Uesugi Maki glanced at Aoba deeply, she didn't know why her younger brother knew so many things that were obviously not understood by ordinary people, but at this time, because of the deep yearning for the ordinary in her heart, Uesugi Maki chose to believe Aoba without thinking about it.

In this way, Uesugi Maki's fingers knocked heavily on the bamboo tube, as if he usually knocked on the door, and kept slamming on the bamboo tube.

However, with Uesugi Maki's tapping, the bamboo tube did not change at all, so Uesugi Maki immediately cast his puzzled eyes on Aoba.

"Okay, it's okay, it's awake. Aoba reached out and grabbed Maki Uesugi's hand, which had just struck the bamboo tube, and pulled her back a step.

Uesugi Maki couldn't help but take a step back with Aoba, and when her eyes looked at the bamboo tube again, she realized that the bamboo tube had indeed changed.

Two white gases that came out of nowhere, under the illumination of the flashlights, were obviously rising from the two bamboo tubes.

"This, what's going on?" Uesugi Maki didn't use Aoba to reach out this time, but took a step back herself.

"White? Sure enough, it's not a vicious fellow, or an overly kind fellow unexpectedly. Aoba looked at the rising white gas, but couldn't help but smile. (To be continued.) )
