Konoha's Peerless Peerless

Chapter 44 The Box of Sprites
Outside the main hall in the center of the ghost capital, Mitreya pulled the curious Ziyuan and stood quietly on the marble steps, looking at the warriors and onmyojis below, Mitreya couldn't help but feel a little anticipation in his heart.

Ziyuan, who was holding Mitreya's hand, looked at the huge military figure below curiously. It has been a long time since she saw this kind of scene. I remember that the first time she saw this kind of scene was two years ago, when the Ghost City held a celebration. At that time, I remember that her mother Maitreya told her a lot of things she couldn't understand.

The light of the sunset spreads over the capital of ghosts. Warriors in bamboo armor and holding steel knives stand outside the hall under the command of the general. They guard the most important figures in the capital. In this country dominated by onmyoji, Miko and Yin-Yangtou are the leaders of this country, Yin-Yangtou is in charge of military affairs, and Miko is in charge of rituals.

Although the main body of this country is dominated by onmyoji, some people who keep pace with the times will still choose to become ninjas. After all, the cultivation of ninjas is much simpler than that of onmyojis.

Near the main hall, some ninjas from the kingdom of ghosts stood on the top of the building and watched the interior of the main hall quietly. They were curious about who they were and what caused the country to shake so much.

As the sun went down, the ninja's curiosity was satisfied.

I saw that Abe Yishan, the most powerful person in the kingdom of ghosts, was leading several powerful onmyojis and leading four people through the palace gate to the main hall.

Stepping on the orange-red bluestone, Lan followed Abe Yishan forward with a calm expression.

On both sides of him, there are countless neat rows of ashigaru and samurai.

Passing through the army formation of thousands of people, Lan and Abe Yishan arrived at the foot of the jade steps engraved with Yin and Yang seals and Tai Chi pictures.

Looking at Maitreya who was holding Ziyuan's hand, Lan looked calm.

"Dear guest, welcome to our ghost country." Maitreya let go of Ziyuan's hand, opened his arms and bowed to Lan.

Seeing this, Lan returned a salute to her calmly.

After the two sides saluted each other, Maitreya signaled to the priestess attendants beside him to push the main hall door open.

When the maidservant pushed the door, Maitreya looked at Lan and said, "Your Excellency, come up first, let's talk after entering the hall."

"En." Lan nodded, and was about to walk up the jade steps.

After reaching the 99th floor, Lan followed Maitreya inside.

Everyone walked forward slowly, and when Abe Yishan, the head of Yin and Yang, walked into the hall, the stone gate of the hall was closed.

At the same time, the soldiers who were still facing each other turned to the gate in unison.

Seeing that the main hall was closed, the ninjas peeping in the attics on both sides of the palace immediately lost interest. One by one, they picked up Chakra and jumped off the stairs, and then gathered in the tavern where the Onmyoji issued the task to ask for a living.

Just entering the closed hall, Lan thought it would be darker here, but unexpectedly, as soon as the gate was closed, a little bit of starlight flickered on the top of the hall.

The soft light immediately filled the black hall, and star patterns could be seen on the top from time to time.

Looking at the star chart curiously, Lan could sense some special energy from it.

Maitreya standing in front of Lan saw Lan stop, so he raised his head to look at the stars in the sky and introduced: "This is a little trick of our witches. If you are interested, I can give you this secret art of the starry sky."

Hearing this, Lan withdrew his gaze, looked up at the beaming Maitreya and asked, "Do you know the purpose of my coming here?"

"Well, I know, I saw you fighting sprites from the illusion." Maitreya said calmly.

Ziyuan stood obediently behind Maitreya, and looked at Lan with her mouth tightly shut. What's so different about this blue-haired brother?Why is my mother happy to see him.

Ziyuan felt a little bit jealous, her mother had never been so happy when she saw her.

Kaoru standing next to Nanako looked at Lan secretly, and felt an unfriendly gaze watching Lan.

Following his feeling, he saw Ziyuan, who was not much older than her, was staring at Lan with her mouth pouting.

Immediately, a sense of crisis surged up from Xiang Lin's heart, this yellow-haired girl would not want to rob my brother.

With resentment, Xianglin looked at Ziyuan with a different kind of unfriendly gaze.

Zi Yuan, who was staring at Lan, saw Xiang Lin behind Lan staring at him, and immediately stared back with wide eyes.

While the two children were staring at each other, Abe Yishan walked to the left side of Lan and said: "The astrology and hexagrams of our Onmyoji also predict that you will eliminate the monsters. Although it is rude, I still want to Let me ask you, what do you plan to use to destroy sprites?"

As Abe Yishan's voice fell, everyone's eyes focused on Lan.

Under everyone's gaze, Lan opened the system interface in the spiritual world, clicked on the red shopping mall, and just entered, a sprite box with countless small holes carved with six golden dragons appeared in front of Lan.

[Spirit Box: The Box of Monsters, as the name suggests, is a treasure box that seals monsters.Because it is a mission item, the system grants a special price exchange right, and only one gold coin is needed to exchange it during the mission. 】

After reading the introduction, Lan exchanged the Box of Monsters and temporarily stored it in the system. Lan glanced at everyone.

After signaling everyone to take a step back, Lan released the sprite box the size of a millstone.

As soon as it landed, the six golden dragons on the sprite box opened their eyes as if they had come alive, escaped from the sprite box and flew into the air. After dancing for a while, the six golden dragons fell down again under the sprite box The box was raised a little higher.

Before everyone could react, the sprite box suddenly shrunk at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although the sprite box was shrinking, the six golden dragons under it remained unchanged, knowing that the sprite box had shrunk to the size of a fist. Suddenly, the six golden dragons flew up and connected together to form a long golden staff.

Below the long staff, there are three dragon heads with wide open eyes, and above are three dragon heads with closed eyes. The three dragon heads with closed eyes open their mouths to firmly fix the box of sprites the size of a fist.

When the change stopped, the long staff flew into Lan's hands.

As soon as Lan held the staff, the color of the staff and the box of sprites turned silvery white.

Although the changes in the Sprite Box were miraculous, Lan never felt any power from it.

Just when Lan was curious about how to use it, a system prompt appeared in front of Lan.

[Spirit Box (rod-shaped state): The attack form of the Sprite Box, it can make it easier for the host to hold it.

Attack Power: Ninja Level
Sealing Power: Immortal Level
A sealed weapon specially formed against monsters and sprites. 】

After reading the introduction, Lan put the rod-shaped sprite box into the system.

Maitreya saw Lan put away the sprite box, so he opened his mouth slightly and exclaimed, "This is really miraculous."

"It's been a long time since I saw this kind of level-sealed device. I thought I would never see this kind of thing in my life. I didn't expect to see it here today. This is really lucky. If I'm not mistaken , I'm afraid this box of sprites should not be inferior to the ninja tools of the Sage of the Six Paths." Abe Yishan blushed and praised excitedly.

Looking at the excited Abe Yishan, Lan nodded slowly, and said: "Its sealing effect is indeed comparable to that of Sage of the Six Paths, but its attack power is much inferior. This thing is specially used to deal with monsters."

After speaking, Lan cast his eyes on Maitreya and asked, "Can you take me to the place where the sprites are sealed? I want to solve it as soon as possible."

"No hurry." Maitreya looked at Lan who was in a hurry and smiled slightly, and said, "The seal of the monster is still very stable, and it will not be too late to deal with it tomorrow morning. Rest overnight in the capital, and when tomorrow dawns, I will take you to the place where the monsters are sealed."

Wen Yanlan was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "If that's the case, I'll trouble you."

Maitreya shook his head lightly when he heard the words, and said: "It's okay, it's not troublesome, compared to the sprites, everything else is nothing, after you eliminate the sprites, I will take you to our ghost country Treasure Pavilion allows you to choose treasures."

After finishing speaking, Maitreya clapped his hands lightly, and then two priestess attendants came out from the side.

After Maitreya explained to the maid twice, the maid led Lan and Zhujian to rest.

Watching Lan leave with a smile, Maitreya suddenly frowned again.

Seeing Mitreya frowning, Abe Yishan asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

"Alas~" Maitreya sighed, looking at the stars at the top of the hall, and said: "The reason why our ghost country is not invaded by the outside world is because we seal the sprites and its terracotta warriors here. I am afraid that if the sprites are wiped out, other countries will Invade us."

Hearing Maitreya's explanation, Abe Yishan frowned first, then shook his head and said: "Master Maitreya, I think the most important thing for us is to eliminate the sprites. After all, if other countries invade us, we can still use the city wall to resist, but the sprites Once resurrected, I am afraid that our ghost country will be reduced to a dead place."

"..." Maitreya was silent.

Abe Yishan stood quietly with Maitreya for a while, then got up and walked out of the hall shaking his head.

At the same time, the Tuying Office of Yanyin Village.

Onogi, the short three-generation Tsuchikage and two-day scale, was sitting at his desk frowning and looking at the information in his hand. This information was the information that Danzo deliberately disseminated.

The content is roughly some basic information about Lan and the bloodline of the Thousand Hands Clan.

After glancing at the information in his hand, Onoki threw the information on the desk with a complicated expression.

Climbing on the table and being silent for a while, Onogi sneered and said to himself: "Stupid Konoha, even sending out this kind of information, it seems that Konoha has really weakened, since you don't want such talents, Then I, Iwato, will accept it."

After sneering twice, Onogi said to the dark place: "Send this photo to everyone, and if you meet him, be sure to notify me."

"Yes."

There was a sound in the dark, and then calm was restored.
