Chapter 726 Is there such a life (4)

——[Five years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the 14-year-old Nagato Tsuruko is about to take over the Waseda Shrine from the Waseda Miko.But before that, Nagato Crane still needs to complete a witch test.The content of the test is: she must drive away a toad monster that has recently wandered into the mountains near Waseda Village without resorting to the power of Inugami. The 14-year-old Nagato Tsuruko already possesses very powerful spiritual power, and Waseda Miko has great confidence in her.But Changmen Crane had no experience in exorcising monsters by himself before, so he was unavoidably nervous before leaving.From the age of six watching the cranes grow up to the age of 14, this dog god squatting in front of the shrine is very familiar with some little-known little movements of the cranes.For example, when I am nervous, I clean the courtyard in front of the shrine in the evening. 】

——["I heard that you are going down the mountain tomorrow?" Inuyasha put his head on the back of his head and got behind Nagato Crane. Before he knew it, the dead brat had grown to the height of his neck.For Inugami, eight years are just a small part of a long life, and they pass in a hurry.But what happened in eight years, like an illusion, appeared yesterday, as long as you think about it, you can think about it. 】

--【"Ok."】

——【"Maybe it will die, that toad spirit is hard to deal with, even if it is me, it will take a lot of trouble." Inuyasha then emphasized: "Of course, it's just a waste of effort. I won't get hurt of."】

——[Nagato Crane stopped his hands and looked sideways.Perhaps for Inugami, eight years is really short. As a human, the long-door crane will soon grow bigger, and then grow old like Waseda Miko, and then look for a suitable heir like her, and then With their help, the new trainee priestesses will become the new masters of Inugami.Inuyasha will guard the shrine from generation to generation, and the shrine maidens will be replaced one after another. 】

——【"Why are you looking at me!" Inuyasha snorted and said, "Are you really scared? Then come and beg me! I have a way to keep that dead old woman from knowing, and then I will help you quietly! But in advance, It’s okay for me to help you, but you have to promise me one condition, take off the necklace around my neck.”]

——[Nagato Crane tilted his head and thought for a moment, then threw the broom in his hand forward, and the Inugami boy from the shrine flew out without saying a word, and came back with the broom in his mouth.Nagato Tsuruko took the broom, stroked Inuyasha's head a few times, and said calmly: "I can do it, don't worry."]

——["Who cares about you!! Damn kid! Don't treat me like that kind of stupid dog!!" Inuyasha was furious for a moment, he couldn't understand why he would go to throw the thing thrown by the long door crane every time Take it back.Yes, every time! "I don't care about you anymore! Dead brat, you can fend for yourself! It's better for you to die, so that I can regain my freedom!" Inuyasha knew that he couldn't resist Nagato Tsuruko's 'sit down' spell, and finally left angrily. 】

——【Inuyasha didn't show up all night.Nagato Tsuruko, as usual, started doing homework for the day after dinner with Waseda Miko.In the middle of the night, there was a strange noise outside Changmen Hezi's bedroom. She opened the door and saw a talisman placed in the corridor outside the bedroom.Nagato Tsuruko picked up the amulet, knowing that it was sent by Inuyasha secretly, so he smiled, and then went back to the bedroom to sit quietly and recharge his energy.Nagato Tsuruko feels that his master Waseda Miko will also pass away one day at this time, so it is actually a good thing to conduct this test early while Waseda Miko is still alive.If the test fails, it proves that she still does not have the ability to take over the shrine after all. If she can return, she can continue to practice under the guidance of Waseda Miko.If she can't come back, Waseda Miko still has time to find and train a new successor Miko. 】

——[When the sky was still dark, the crane of the long door quietly left the shrine.Before leaving Wasao Village, she actually went to Nagato's house, but she just watched from a distance, and the crane didn't really leave until Nagato's gate opened and someone came out. 】

——[Leaving Zaidao Village, Changmen Crane passed a valley and saw a small stream flowing nearby, so he planned to rest there.At this time, there was a crying sound from behind a layer of rock in the creek. It was a twelve or thirteen-year-old child. 】

--【"what's going on?"】

——["My brother was captured by the monster, I am very sad, I wish I could get the monster with my own hands, but I can't do anything, what else can I do except cry here secretly?" Cried for some time.Nagato Crane guessed that the monster that the child was talking about was probably the one that Waseda Miko asked him to exorcise, so he continued to ask and found out that it was so. 】

——【This toad spirit likes to wear a red cassock, and calls itself the 'Mage in Red'. Everywhere he goes, he will catch young boys. The 'Mage in Red' believes that the boy's energy and blood are the key to longevity, so he uses secret methods to raise the captured boys one after another, chooses a specific day, puts the boy in red clothes, and then does things against the sky to continue his life.After these boys lose their value, they will be eaten directly in the end.So far, it has been heard that more than 13 boys died at the hands of the 'Red Master'. 】

——["I am an apprentice priestess from Waseda Shrine. I came here this time to ask for the 'Red Mage'. If you know where the 'Red Mage' is, please tell me, so as not to hurt more people." Changmen Crane directly expressed his intention. 】

——[The crying boy saw that Changmen Hezi was about the same age as himself, so he naturally didn't believe that she could handle it, and sighed: "I don't want more people to be hurt. My brother was arrested, maybe life, but if he dies, it will be worth it to exchange for the peace of the village. The 'Red Mage' is powerful, and it's not something you can deal with."]

——[Changmen Crane directly took off the wooden bow, put on a feathered arrow, and shot towards the big tree ten feet away.She moved quickly and shot three feathered arrows in a row.The arrow was directly nailed to the tree trunk, but it was nailed to the armpit and the top of the head of a civet cat that was climbing.The civet cat was imprisoned by the feather arrow and could not move, showing a frightened expression.Changmen Crane said slowly: "Don't worry, I have the ability to protect myself."]

——[The child saw that Changmen Crane's archery skills are amazing, so he knew that he had met someone with real skills.He had long hoped that someone could ask for the 'Red Mage', so he quickly told him where the 'Red Mage' was hiding, and told Changmen Crane that midnight was the weakest time for the 'Red Mage'. 】
