weed whisper

Kinki area, Nara ancient basin.

It was the time of the full moon, and the moonlight filled the basin, and the verdant forests glowed with black luster. A cloud of mist dispersed from the basin, and the fog became thicker as it went in, and there were traces of the evil spirit left by the big monster. There was something strange in the moonlight.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew, revealing a torii gate, the scarlet pillars were covered with dried mottled blood, and the seal hemp rope hanging the white talisman had been broken into several pieces, two priests in white hunting clothes fell on it, the blood stained the pure white In hunting clothes, a priest was still pinching his sword fingers, but his face was frozen, it was a painful and unwilling expression.

After the torii, a bluestone step leads up, and you can see the shrine palace in the distance, but it should be the sacred and intimate residence of the gods. At this time, it is enveloped by the soaring death and resentment, constantly circling above the shrine, condensed.On both sides of the steps were the corpses of the priests. The corpses seemed to be torn apart by wild beasts, bloody and bloody, and there were many scorched and broken pieces of white talisman paper scattered all over the ground, making it a mess.

The washbasin was also dark red, and the water on the wooden spoon kept falling on the corpse of a witch. The upper body of the witch was immersed in the pool, her jet-black hair was floating in the water, her face could not be seen clearly, and her lower body was covered with red scarlet hakama. There were several corpses of sword-wielding warriors lying around the breach, probably the maiden's guards. They were heavily scarred, the blades were covered with gaps, and a hungry wolf corpse with dark white fangs fell on the ground, with a knife sticking out of its abdomen. Long knife, obviously experienced a fierce battle.

At this time, the mountain wind blew up, and most of the fog in the shrine disappeared, revealing more corpses. There were a few more corpses of monsters, probably due to the strong power of the monsters, they were dissipating slowly, unlike some little monsters, who would immediately turn into dust and scatter as soon as they died.

In the backyard, eight towering trees are distributed in a staggered manner, with their branches and leaves intertwined, embracing a soil bag and enclosing the soil. There was originally a ninth tree, which had been broken in the middle and lay across the front of the soil bag. The seal on the soil bag The pillar fell to the side, the sealing hemp rope was broken inch by inch, and a big hole was opened in the seal opening, and the sealed monsters inside had disappeared. This may be one of the reasons why the shrine was slaughtered.

Soon under the action of the wind, the entire shrine was revealed in the mist. The shrine was built on a small hill. At this time, a ray of moonlight shone in through a big hole in the roof of a side hall. There was only one corpse inside. Looking like a boy, the corpse was shrouded in moonlight at this time, and a black spot seemed to fall from the sky, flashed by, and the corpse suddenly moved.

The body turned its head, opened its mouth slightly, dirty blood flowed from the corner of the mouth, resumed breathing, and began to breathe out air, absorbing the power of the moonlight.

After the moonlight dissipated, he raised his head to perceive the surrounding environment, and murmured excitedly: "I, Yecaochuan, finally came back!"

Ye Caochuan sat up and checked the condition of his body, "This is the blood of humans, how come there is blood of monsters?"

While slowly digesting the memories of the original owner, Nosokawa's own memories also flooded out, remembering that he was the young master of the Noso family of the Onmyoji family in the Edo period. His yin and yang skills even surpassed that of the head of the family at the time, his father, but during a trip, he encountered an accident. It was a conspiracy that had been brewing for a long time, causing him to sink into the underworld after death. With the power of the moon, he broke through the ghost gate and was reincarnated in the world.

"Gunai Shrine, festivals, monster attacks, so that's how it is." Nokusagawa sorted out the original owner's memory.

The original owner, also named Nokusagawa, is 15 years old this year and lives in Nara Prefecture. He is the son of Nokusa Kiyohime, the previous shaman of Kona Shrine.

Nokusa Kiyohime is born with high spiritual power. It is said that she felt the spirit of the gods during a night patrol. When she returned to the shrine, she found that she was pregnant. After October, she gave birth to Nokusakawa at the shrine, and has been fostering him in Nara Prefecture. In the private house, some superficial yin and yang techniques were taught, but five years ago, Nossa Kiyohime died suddenly, and Nossa Chuan began to live alone. Today is the day when he came back to worship his mother, but unfortunately encountered this disaster.

Gunai Shrine is a secluded shrine. Five big monsters were sealed in the shrine. They were once the giants who caused chaos in the shogunate era. Therefore, the shrine is not open to the public. The priests in the shrine have guarded the seal for generations. After hundreds of years, today is When the seal was weakest, even though it had been guarded tightly, a few monsters got the news, obviously premeditated for a long time, and attached to a shrine servant, taking advantage of the negligence of the priests, broke the seal of the backyard, and the outside world The monsters in the shrine cooperated with each other and killed all the priests and maidens in the shrine, even some servants and mortals were not spared.

Ye Caochuan opened his eyes and frowned. Some of the monsters are natural spirits inherited from the heaven and earth, and some human beings are willing to degenerate into monsters. They are divided into small monsters and big monsters, with only one word difference. But there is a world of difference, the little monsters have just opened their wits, they are muddleheaded, and their monster power is generally relatively weak, so they can only tease ordinary people, but the big monsters have already possessed the wisdom of human beings, established their own power, and sit on one side, but the big ones Most of them have been sealed, or they are also living in seclusion. Gu Nai Shrine escaped five big monsters at once. Nosokawa looked up at the night sky, the moon and stars were sparse, and a layer of haze gradually enveloped the earth. gone."

"Shikigami summoned!"

Ye Caochuan recited the incantation, clamped the two white talisman papers between his fingers, and circulated the spiritual power in his body. The two talisman papers flew out, entwined with each other, and exploded the white mist with a "bang". When the white mist cleared, the two wearing A shikigami with white armor, thick eyebrows and big eyes, dressed like a samurai appeared. This is a low-level shikigami summoned by Ye Caochuan. Its strength is several times that of ordinary people, but it has no consciousness of its own.

Ye Caochuan flicked his sleeves and gave an order, "Go, gather all the corpses in the shrine."

There is currently a lot of resentment here, if it is not purified, some bad things may be bred.

The two warriors split up and started to go in and out of various side halls. They moved out the corpses one by one, and piled them up in a short while. After careful counting, there were fifty or sixty corpses, all of which were taken by monsters.

"Avoid all ghosts and pray for blessings."

Yecaochuan cast a few more spells and recited the spells. The spells turned into white flames and fell down. They quickly burned on the pile of corpses. At the same time, white flames flew to the buildings in the shrine. It kept burning, but no buildings were not burned, only traces of black air continued to emerge, which was eliminating the unclean atmosphere in the shrine.

Wiping the fine sweat off his forehead, Ye Caochuan sighed, "Now the body's spiritual power is too weak, and it won't work after only performing two spells."

The order to patrol the shrine was given to the two white-armored warriors, and the white-armored warriors began to wander around the shrine. Another advantage of this low-level shikigami is that it does not consume much spiritual power, but it can last for a long time.

The white flame is still burning, and it takes time to purify. When Ye Caochuan returned to the shrine, many boards on the ground have been cracked, and the bloody smell is slowly dissipating. According to memory, Ye Caochuan found a quiet room in the south. Luckily, the room was not destroyed. This is where Kiyohime Yecao used to live, and some simple enchantment barriers were left behind, so the invading monsters ignored it.

The quiet room is not big, but it is clean and tidy. There is also a pot of orchids, calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and the previous decorations of Kiyohime Nokusa. Usually Nokusakawa rests here when he comes to the shrine.

He took out the mattress from the cabinet and spread it on the clean tatami mats. Ye Caochuan lay down on it and began to sink his breath, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy to restore his physical strength. At the same time, he felt this body. How long, this body still has some remnants of the original owner, and it needs to be cleaned up.

The sea of ​​consciousness is gray and covered with dead air. After all, the original Wild Grass River has died under the claws of monsters, so there is still a lot of resentment in the dead air.

With a sound of "huh", Yecaochuan blew out a breath, which immediately stirred up layers of waves, and settled in the sea of ​​consciousness with a lot of vitality. The dead air quickly dissipated and receded, revealing the spirit body of Yecaochuan, wearing a white shroud , with a sluggish face, and the black death resentment entangled all over his body, which made him unable to return to the underworld.

"Since I have taken up your body, let me help you as a reward, so that you can be reborn into a good family in your next life."

Yecaochuan blew out another puff of energy and sprayed it on the spirit body. The black death energy seemed to have hit the nemesis and faded away like a tide. Yecaochuan held back a little bit and cast a spell. A spell slowly formed and was branded on the spirit body. The spirit body paused, smiled at Yecaochuan, and then turned into a little light, flew away from the sea of ​​consciousness, sank into the ground, and disappeared.

Ye Caochuan opened his eyes, and only then did he really feel that he was integrated with this body, and the remnants disappeared. The real feeling of flesh and blood made the corners of Ye Caochuan's mouth curl up, revealing a smile.

"In the next life, you will have innate psychic powers, which can be regarded as my thank you for occupying your body."

After a night without dreams, the morning sun came in and gently shone on Yecaochuan's face. After a while, Yecaochuan woke up, stretched his body, and felt the constant surge of vitality in his body. It felt so good to be alive.

After hundreds of years of experience in Netherland, the hatred in his heart has long been smoothed away, and most of the memories have been forgotten with the passage of time. In this life, there is no family shackles, no restrictions of various rules, and he wants to enjoy life once.

The sun rose, and the white flames in the Gunai Shrine had already been extinguished. The blood, death, resentment, evil spirit, and bones had all disappeared. The purification was successful. The fresh mountain wind was blowing, and the surrounding birds were singing. The collapsed pavilions and scarred windows and walls left traces of last night's tragedy.

After washing the weeds in the river, I came to the front yard and went down the steps. The water in the washbasin was also clear again, with a few fallen leaves floating and little ripples.

Out of the torii gate, Ye Caochuan pointed his finger, and the white-armored warrior's body was full of smoke, and he returned to the appearance of talisman paper. He flew to the torii gate, one left and one right sticking to the torii gate, and he used two sealing hemp ropes After the method is connected, it is hung on the torii gate, connected to the big trees on both sides, the white rhombus-shaped amulet swings with the wind, and a small enchantment slowly forms, slowly covering the Kona Shrine, like a transparent glass The cover is hidden in the air, and if someone steps in here, Yecaochuan will immediately sense it.

Looking back at the Gunai Shrine on the hill, the mist gradually began to rise again, swimming in the shrine, covering a large area of ​​buildings, Nokusakawa turned around resolutely, walked into the mountain forest with big strides, left here, and went down. In one step, he will go to Nara Prefecture to learn about the current era and start a new life.
