I was spotted by the big guy in Ping An Jing

This is a small shrine hidden in the forest, but clean and delicate.A corner of the vermilion torii gate can be vaguely seen among the green trees.

"Awaited."

The maiden pushed the door open, with a set of maiden clothes on her arms: "This is the only change of clothes in the shrine. Let's try it first?"

Hitomi Kuwashima nodded.

The clothes of women in the Heian period were layered, which was not conducive to movement. This kind of priestess clothing is more convenient.

Wearing team uniforms, I couldn't go to the crowded capital. I searched for the ghost's breath in the forest, and came to this shrine at dawn.

Then she met this witch named "Huazhi", who kindly asked her to come to the shrine to clean up.

When she was changing clothes, Hua Zhi looked out the window and said suddenly: "Xiao Tong better not walk around today."

The light in the room was dim, and the witch's face was backlit, making her look a little blurry: "If you can, stay indoors first."

Hitomi Kuwashima fastened her belt and asked, "Why?"

Huazhi was silent for a while, "Some cunning guys will take advantage of this weather to get married, and they will be angry if they are seen... Maybe they will abduct you as a bride."

Hitomi Kuwashima: Hey——

This kind of story is more or less deceiving children.

Huazhi laughed out loud: "Xiao Tong doesn't believe in monsters?"

"I don't really believe it..." Hitomi Kuwashima said slowly.

She only knows that there are ghosts, but ghosts are also changed by people.

God, you can't say you don't believe it, after all, the lord's wife is a priest.

But...if gods really exist, what are gods doing when everyone is killed by ghosts?

"Although Xiaotong is young, she is unexpectedly...mature?"

Hitomi Kuwashima sighed, "Ghost knows what I've been through these years."

"If you don't believe me, leave our shrine as soon as the rain stops!"

A displeased voice came, another maiden appeared at the door, and she frowned upon seeing Hitomi Sangshima: "Hua Zhi, why did you make her wear this kind of clothes, she is not a maiden."

"Qing Ya!" Hua Zhi scolded.

Hitomi Kuwashima: "I went to the capital to buy clothes and returned them."

Qing Ya obviously didn't believe it: "You?"

After all, this girl doesn't look rich.When he appeared at the door, his whole body was wet, like a small animal that was picked up after falling into the water.

Hitomi Kuwashima put the silver dollar on the table.

Although the currencies in circulation in the Taisho and Heian periods were different, silver dollars and the like were common.

For this trip, the lord prepared enough silver dollars for her.

Qing Ya choked.

Compared with the gentle Huazhi, Qing Ya's attitude towards herself is completely different, revealing a nameless sense of anxiety.

What's even stranger is——

This shrine... has no priests.

From the beginning to the end, only two witches appeared.

Thinking of a certain possibility, Hitomi Kuwashima smiled, "Sister..."

"Are there ghosts here?"

She sat at the table, propped her cheek with one hand, her cuffs were too big to show her fingertips, and added with a smile: "A monster that can eat people."

Qing Ya glared at her: "How could the shrine—"

Hua Zhi stopped Qing Ya's words, thought for a while, and asked, "You mean Ghost King Jiu Tun?"

Hitomi Kuwashima was taken aback.

Eh, wait!Does Wu Mi have a previous name? !

It's over and there's no record.After all, Wu Mi's 1000-year-changed identities can form a family!Everyone doesn't know what names he used!

Hua Zhi continued: "He often takes young girls to Dajiang Mountain to eat them."

it's possible...

Ah!The brave old thief also has a name called Jiu Tun!

Hitomi Kuwashima picked up the Japanese sword and the bag and walked out.

"Why are you going?" Qing Ya grabbed her by the back collar, her tone was not kind, "Hua Zhi told you to stay inside first, didn't you hear me!"

"I'm sorry..." Hitomi Sang Dao stared at her, and said slowly, "I'm spoiled and rebellious, the more I don't let go, the more I want to go."

"you--"

Hitomi Kuwashima took the opportunity to break free: "Goodbye."

It was raining outside, and at the same time the sun was shining brightly, reflecting the puddles on the ground.

"Damn it, that kid runs so fast..."

When Qingya came out, Hitomi Sangshima was no longer in sight.She stood at the door and cursed a few words, then turned back to the shrine.

Hitomi Kuwashima jumped from the tree and went around to the back of the shrine.

There is a closed hut with no windows on all sides, and the strange smell is strongest here.

Before he got close, his footsteps were blocked by something invisible outside the house.Raising his hand, a circle of light swayed where his fingertips touched.

Enchantment?

Hitomi Kuwashima took out a short knife from his waist, cut his finger, and blood dripped.

This is the most difficult temptation to resist, if the thing inside is...

boom!boom!

There was a loud noise in the hut, accompanied by monster-like roars, as if someone was rampaging inside, and the roof was almost toppled.

But the hut did not fall apart.

The barrier has two layers, one covering the hut to prevent the contents from coming out.Another layer shrouds the outside, preventing outsiders from approaching.

...It seems that this is what she doesn't want to find out.

With the sound of hurried footsteps approaching, Hitomi Sang Dao fled and hid in the nearby woods.

Qing Ya appeared next to the hut: "Who?!"

Panting, relieved to find that the cabin was safe, she looked around alertly.

Since setting up a barrier means that Qing Ya knows the danger, why would she hide this thing?

Does Huazhi know about this?

They know what's inside... an ogre?

Hitomi Kuwashima gripped the Hinata sword tightly.

Originally, he wanted to wait for Qing Ya to leave before finding a way to destroy the barrier, but Qing Ya kept guarding the hut.The two stalemate in light and dark places for nearly half a day.

Gee.

Can't spend any more.

Anyway, this ghost can't escape for the time being, so let's go to the capital to find out information!

There are also ghosts in this area.

The breath is very messy, mixed with other things...

Hitomi Kuwashima remembered what Hanae said.

Is it a monster...?

"Ah, does this kind of thing really exist in the world? It's always hard to believe."

***

Facts have proved that the big sister still needs to listen to what she says occasionally.

Hitomi Sang Dao asked the woodcutter along the way and walked towards the capital.In the evening, the fog in the mountains became thicker and thicker.

"Why is this damn weather as changeable as a man's heart..."

It is impossible to discern the direction in the fog.When looking forward, Hitomi Kuwashima paused.

A distance away, two rows of gray shadows were marching at a weird pace, as if they were performing some kind of ritual.

There were no footsteps.

Marriage team?In this kind of mountains?

The profile of the face...doesn't look like a human being.

More like some kind of canine creature.

Hitomi Kuwashima walked faster, but the distance could not be shortened.She rubbed her eyes: "Did I hit a ghost..."

I should have brought a few Sister Tianyin's Suppressing Evil Talismans with me.

Well, now I have no idea where I am.

At this time, a teenager walked past her silently.

Hitomi Sang Dao hurriedly called him: "Excuse me—"

Before the hand touched the other party, Gudong, the boy's head rolled off.

"..." Hitomi Kuwashima looked at his hand in shock.

Fuck, I haven't put it up yet, have I?I'm going to pat the shoulder, right?Could it be that I have already practiced the decapitation technique in the air, so I can behead my head without using a knife? !

"Ah, I'm sorry, the head is not installed properly."

Just when she was doubting her life, the headless body suddenly turned around, holding her head in her palm and talking: "I didn't mean to scare you, hehehehe..."

Hitomi Kuwashima: "..."

The boy laughed viciously: "Ah, are you stupid?"

Human beings are so fragile that they lose their souls at the slightest fright.

"..." Hitomi Kuwashima silently pulled out the bamboo tube from behind, raised it up and swung it down under the young man's puzzled gaze——

Go to your uncle!

"Ah-my head-!!!"

The boy ran after him.

Hitomi Kuwashima dragged his feet and sat down in front of the tree.

I can't, I'm so tired...

Sorry, my lord, I may not be able to complete the task of killing ghosts... This place is too weird!

No, maybe I'm too tired... The aftereffects of time travel haven't passed yet?

Giyuu, you may not believe it, but dogs in the Heian era can still walk upright, and people here can even remove their own heads.

Ah no, you will believe it, after all you are so naive.

Grandpa, everyone in the Ghost Slayer Squad...

How is the situation in the team now? Has Wu Mi been killed?Ah, I really want to come back.

Thinking in a daze, Hitomi Kuwashima fell into a deep sleep.

……

"Tamamo, you seem to have something on your mind recently."

"..."

"Could it be a grudge -- ouch! Damn it! Do you have to use such a heavy hand... Eh? Tamamo Tamamo, there's a shrine maiden here!"

"..."

"Did she faint? Tsk, her primordial spirit tastes good!"

"..."

"Tamamo, you really don't want to try?!"

very noisy.

The chest is so heavy.

Hitomi Kuwashima frowned and opened his eyes.

A fox was lying on her chest, opening its mouth towards her neck——

The other front paw rested on the back of her hand, as if she had just walked over.

She woke up suddenly, and the fox on her chest was so frightened that she fell down and hid in the grass beside her.

Another fox was about to run, but Hitomi Kuwashima moved faster than him!

——She immediately pinched the fox's paw with her backhand!

Tamamo Mae:! ! !

Before I was born, I was arrogant in the early stage and black-bellied in the late stage.Not an onmyoji.
