my weird life.

Chapter 387 Divination of Fate (12)

The sunset light shines through the window paper on all sides of the main hall, and projects on the wooden floor of the hall, casting a dim yellow on the ground.

A stone statue wrapped in silk Wufu, with black and smooth long hair growing on its head, was placed in the center of the hall.

Beside her, there is a wooden box as high as a person.

The entire wooden box showed a color soaked in water, and a layer of unknown things like seaweed was wrapped around the wooden box.

There is no way to verify what is inside the wooden box.

Su Wu could only tell from the words written on the wooden box that the wooden box, like the stone statue with black hair, was the deity of the 'Soseki Shrine'.

The long-haired stone statue is 'The Lady in the Stone';
In that wooden box, there should be resting another god who was newly enshrined in the shrine—'Qiao Ji'.

In front of the two worship gods, a long ceremony table was placed horizontally.

All kinds of exquisite gifts dedicated to the gods are placed on the altar.

For example, the "Kagura bell" that makes the gods feel happy when they hear it, the "sacred wine" that is brewed on a specific day every year for the gods to enjoy, and the "God Sword" that the gods hold to impose punishment and punishment.

In front of the long ceremony table, there is a circular 'altar'.

at this time,

Accompanied by the priests of the shrine, 'Anlu Onmyoji' respectfully bowed to the gods, then stood up, grasping a rope hanging from the side of the altar with the palm of his hand, shaking the rope gently, the rope The copper bell bell spring connected above collided with the bell wall, and the thick and simple sound spread throughout the hall.

when - when -

Subsequently,

The old onmyoji let go of his hands, and clapped his palms in front of him three times,
The ritual of worshiping the gods is over.

He seemed to have sensed that Su Wu, Haruko and his party came to the shrine, and after solemnly performing a complete set of rituals, he turned around, with a benevolent smile on his old face, and greeted Haruko first: "Miss Haruko .”

With a smile on her face, Haruko politely returned the salute.

This girl once told Su Wu secretly that Master Anlu Onmyoji was not a good person.

When the other party was young, he had a sinful experience of tricking a pregnant village woman into jumping into a well, and was made into a shikigami by her.

But when she faced Anlu right now, she couldn't see any dislike for Anlu.

Su Wu and Da Mu followed Miss Qingzi and bowed to Anlu Onmyoji.

"Oh!" Anlu narrowed his eyes at the two people behind Qingzi for a while, then suddenly realized, pointed at Su Wu tremblingly, and said, "We met the day before yesterday—you are very tall,

It is very suitable for terracotta warriors - wrong, it is very suitable for warriors! "

Bingyong?

Su Wuyi misunderstood the true meaning of the word 'terracotta warriors' in the other party's mouth.

He didn't pay attention to what the other party said,

In fact, he was already wary of Anlu Bao in his heart.

When there was no expression on the face, he nodded and smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliment, my lord."

"Did you come to the shrine to pray for the blessings of the gods?" Anlu Onmyoji smiled, showing that he was happy to talk to young people like Haruko and Su Wu.

He turned sideways to get out of the way to the altar,

This also allowed Su Wu to see clearly the 'things' on the altar.

On top of the fine sand and ashes piled up in the altar, there are a few branches that are still slowly burning—they are the branches of the real sakura tree outside. In Su Wu's eyes, these green branches turned into one by one Under the licking of the flames, the incomplete and illusory human form turned into wisps of green smoke, rushing towards the 'Girl in the Stone' and 'Qiao Ji' above.

Green smoke entangles both,
Slowly infiltrate the two gods and be absorbed by them.

In those incomplete and illusory human figures, Su Wu's familiar breath circulated - the breath of mental energy.

After the energy of the mind is fused with some real substances, those incomplete and illusory human figures are formed, and they become offerings that can be offered to the gods.

Seeing this scene, Su Wu can be sure that the real Sakaki trees outside the shrine have a certain endowment of 'intentional energy',
The human flesh, hands and feet entwined on the leaves and branches of the real sakaki tree that he saw earlier are the external forms of the "intentional energy" of many people gathered behind the leaves and branches of the real sakaki tree.

Because his 'will' is equally powerful,
It is the external form that can instantly see all kinds of 'ideal energy aggregates'.

"Abu, Oki and the others haven't visited the shrine yet.
So I took them to have a look inside the shrine. Haruko answered Anlu Onmyoji's question, led the two to the altar, imitated Anlu Onmyoji's movements one by one, and worshiped the gods.

The masakaki branches on the altar have been burned,

The priest who was waiting next to him didn't intend to give the real sakaki branches in the tray to Su Wu and the others to light.

Obviously,

In the eyes of the priests, Su Wu and Da Mu are not qualified to use the "true sakaki branches" as offerings to worship the gods.

The old onmyoji stood in front of the priest,

Looking at the actions of Su Wu and Da Mu with a smile,

After both of them had worshiped in front of the god, he said: "Since this is the first time I came to the shrine, I guess I haven't divination about my future fate and career at the shrine, right?

Let me be the fortune teller,
How about a little divination for your future fate? "

Miss Haruko shook her head when she heard the words, and said with a forced smile: "I am the divination priestess in this shrine, and I will do the divination for the two of them.

Master Anlu is an upright Onmyoji in the Onmyoji,
How can I bother you to do divination for two servants? "

"Before the gods, all living beings are equal.

I don't care about their low status. "Anlu Onmyoji shook his head, looked at Ms. Haruko, and suddenly smiled, "As the divination priestess of the shrine, Ms. Haruko has read how many decrees of the gods and how many people's fates have been accurately predicted?" "

he was talking,
His gaze turned to the priest in hunting clothes and black hat.

The priest glanced at Haruko, without any change in expression, and said: "Miss Haruko has not been a witch for a long time, and she has not been able to truly listen to the will of the gods. So far, she has not accurately predicted the fate of anyone."

Haruko was clenched tightly by the fist covered by her sleeve.

head down,
There was no sound for a while.

"The cultivation of a witch must also be done step by step.

There is also a process to obtain spiritual power and favor from the gods.

Although Ms. Haruko has not yet had the energy to correctly predict people's fate, she believes that as she grows older, the spiritual power she has accumulated will also increase steadily, and temporary success or failure does not mean anything. "Anlu Onmyoji smoothed things out with a smile.

then,

He changed the topic, and continued: "This time, I might as well do the divination for the three of you,
Miss Haruko, we can also take this opportunity to discuss with each other to improve our divination ability,
what do you think? "

The other party had already said so, and Haruko could only nod her head in agreement.

She glanced sideways at Su Wu, who was standing there like a log, with no intention of speaking for her at all, which made her even more discouraged—I have tried my best, and I will not let this old man see your future destiny!
But you yourselves do not know that the crisis is near,

I don't know how to cooperate with me at all, and I can't help it!
"Then which one of you will come first?" Anlu Onmyoji sat behind a table on the side of the altar and looked at the three of them.

Before Qingzi and Su Wu could speak,
Damu was the first to raise his hand, and said excitedly: "It's my honor that Anlu Onmyoji can divination my fate!
I want to be the first to do the divination! "

finished speaking,
He looked at Qingzi and Su Wu embarrassingly: "I'm sorry, Miss Qingzi, Abu, let me do the divination first this time, Mr. Anlu Onmyoji has always been someone I respect very much. !"

Haruko rubbed her forehead wordlessly, but didn't say anything.

Su Wu patted his shoulder, nodded and said, "It's okay, let's go."

Taking advantage of the opportunity to pat his shoulder, he has quietly cast a 'Zhabatuo Wheel Blessing Mantra' on Omu.

If Anlu Onmyoji has evil thoughts towards Damu and intends to 'curse' Damu with the means of an onmyoji, he will first be blocked by the "Zheba Tuo Wheel Blessing Curse" to remove the effect of the curse.

Facts have proved that the secret curse that Su Wu cast on Damu was completely superfluous.

Anlu Onmyoji may have ambitions for Miss Haruko,

There may even be some kind of unruly purpose towards Su Wu,
But he has no interest in harming Damu.

Da Mu walked to the desk of the old onmyoji, and knelt and sat opposite to An Lu's gesture.

"Which aspect of the future do you want me to divination for you?
Marriage?cause?family? "

Anlu looked at Damu gently, not at all impatient because of his low status.

Under Anlu Kuanhe's gaze, Damu's nervous mood gradually calmed down, he thought about it for a while, raised his eyes to Anlu, and said, "Master Onmyoji, I want to predict my future career!
Will my future be the same as it is now? "

"it is good."

Anlu nodded,

Spread a piece of white paper on the table, took out a writing brush, dipped it in some kind of sweet-smelling ink placed in the corner of the table, held the brush in one hand, and recited a few lines in a low voice spell,
Then hang a pen in the center of the white paper,

Tong Damu said: "In the name of Shi Zhongnv and Qiao Ji, with the help of their spiritual power, I will perform this divination for you.

You hold the lower end of the brush with your hand. "

Oki felt inexplicably that the current atmosphere became solemn and sacred,
His heart beat faster, and he hurriedly held the lower end of the brush as instructed.

Su Wu cast his gaze in this direction,
His thoughts spread out silently, like a spider's web, covering the entire hall.

In a moment,
Like an insect caught in a net—

Following the 'meaning' of being touched, at this moment, Su Wu saw that in the main hall, the shadows of the stone statue with black hair and the wooden box overlapped in one place, and suddenly covered the shadow of Anlu Onmyoji,

Anlu's eyes turned gray and white,
The skin is swollen, as if being pressed lightly by someone, liquid will spill out!
Seeing him like this, Oki almost let go of his brush in fright!

But at this moment, Damu's hand seemed to be grasped by an invisible, cold hand.

With that palm jerk,
Black and red ink drips from the tip of the brush,
The ink spreads and extends on the paper,

Eventually it dries up and solidifies into weird patterns.
