juvenile onmyoji

The eye of the Heian-kyo formation is a fiery red sphere.Because in another space, this place looks extremely huge.

Like the outside, the ground here is covered with thin red gullies, like blood vessels and spider webs.From time to time, small orange-red flames splashed upwards.

The surrounding light is very dim, and I completely rely on the ground to see things.But even so, the faint halo cannot illuminate the whole picture here.The deeper you go, the less you can see clearly.

Riko walks on the scorching surface holding the guardian of Inari God.Yushou radiated clean and pure white light, enveloping her whole body in it.Despite the protection of the guard, the ground cannot stand for a long time.Standing for a long time feels like the soles of clogs are going to burn.

Pear felt that these capillary-shaped things were connected with the blood column outside.I didn't expect the thing carrying blood and desire to be so hot.I don't know where the alcohol went.And Master Seimei, you must be fine.

Thinking about things randomly in his mind, he walked silently and quickly towards the depths of the formation.

The surroundings are so quiet that it makes one's scalp tingle.Apart from the rattling of clogs under her feet, there was no other sound.This lifeless silence made people unable to bear the high level of concentration.She was very afraid that something would pop out of nowhere and pounce on her.In that case, she would probably be scared to death.

Thinking of this way of dying from fright, she couldn't help bending her lips, temporarily diluting the unpleasant memory in her mind just now.

It seems that Master Seimei's guess is correct, and there is indeed time to look back on this kind of thing.Although it was only a fragment, it also made her see something clearly.If it is traced back seven times, then the ending of a certain time of her is explained here.

That time, even though he held Inari God's guard, it didn't activate the effect of isolating the flames.Because she couldn't enter the blazing blood column, she has been wandering outside the big formation.Later, before meeting Yuzao, he followed him to destroy the formation.Although Yuzao had been taking good care of her, she still couldn't stop the speed at which the formation was absorbing life.

In the end, she slowly fell down on the ground covered with red ravines, watching Tamamo-mae continuously sending monster power into her body, and even asked her if she would like to merge with the monster.She has a weasel at her disposal if she wishes.

Lizi remembered shaking her head, and she didn't know whether she hated the weasel or didn't want to merge with the monster.

In short, Tamamomae watched helplessly as her last life slowly passed away.By the time she gritted her teeth and wanted to force her to merge with the monster, it was too late.

She died just like that.

Ping'an capital fell, and corpses were everywhere.She saw Yamata no Orochi, who had returned to the god position, order the people to build shrines for him everywhere; she saw Seimei shut herself in the room, sitting silently.Suzaku looked at him sadly with a food box outside the door; he also saw Jiu Tun sitting in front of a small grave bag drinking day and night.

And Ibaraki...

Because she died, Ibaraki was not released in time.Ibaraki... will never come out.

What a sad ending, Lizi sighed inwardly.

Her eyes moved to the bemping bell she was wearing.One very special thing about that memory was that in order to block the life force that the formation was constantly absorbing her, she released a huge paper cow.Thinking of sitting on it and forming a large formation would not be able to reach her.But her vitality is still continuously transmitted from the paper cow to the ground.

This failed attempt is beside the point.The point is, haven't all her wooden signs been upgraded to the third tadpole?It is already possible to blow out things that are indistinguishable from the real thing.Why is the paper cow in memory still made of paper?

Could it be that she didn't upgrade to the third tadpole, so there was no response from the guard?But why didn't he upgrade to the third tadpole?Could it be that something else happened in that life that hindered the killing of the Andahara hag?

"Hmm..." The road under her feet suddenly disappeared, which temporarily interrupted her thoughts.

She looked down and saw a long, wide, uneven staircase that curved downwards from the middle.

Only part of the stairs can be seen, the rest is so deep at the bottom that it cannot be seen at all.It's like a downhill road to the underworld.Just standing there for a while, I felt the cold air rising from the bottom.

She hesitated and frowned, looking around, there was only one way.

A sentence from Seimei flashed in my mind, don't choose the options left for you by the enemy.

But she has no choice now.Even if he knew that the front was full of malice, he could only bite the bullet and go on.

Just as she stepped down the first step, a beam of light shot up from the bottom, covering her.Startled, she looked down at the light source.This beam of light is near and far small, just covering her well.Except for this light, it was dark around the stairs.

"Who is it?" she asked.

"Who is it? Who is it? Who is it?" Echoes echoed in the stairs, which seemed empty and frightening in the darkness.This sent a chill down her spine.

The owner of the beam still didn't make a sound, but she could feel the sticky sight accompanying the beam.While carefully descending the stairs, she reached for her satchel and took out a miniature version of Yamata Orochi that she had cut at home.

According to Shuten's description of Yamata no Orochi, she also painted the paper snake with color, but I don't know the actual effect.

"Da da da da." The only sound of her footsteps was the sound of her footsteps on the stone steps.She felt that she had already descended a dozen floors.The cold at the bottom intensified, and she could only hold her arms tightly to resist the cold.

The beam of light still shone on her, but as she continued to walk down, the beam of light gradually became higher and higher.

Higher and higher?Why?

Thinking of this, she stopped.Because she has reached the end, she can no longer go down.

It was pitch black all around, and she raised her head to look in the direction of the light source.This feeling is like someone holding two searchlights at her in a high place ahead.

After a stalemate with each other for a while, the searchlight began to slowly float towards her.Dim yellow, round, like two big washbasins.Not only that, but it was also accompanied by bursts of fishy smell.

What kind of monster is it?

She folded the miniature Yamata no Orochi between her hands and slowly moved it to her mouth to blow the drum.The bulging snake is still a miniature version, but it can move.Twist very enchantingly in her palm.As long as she lives together, she can become a normal version of Yamata no Orochi.

As the light source got closer, Lizi's body shook violently, and her hairs stood on end.That's not a light source at all.Nor was someone holding a lamp to shine on her.

It was a huge snake.Its two eyes are as big as a small washbasin.

It turned out that the light that had been shining on her was the sight of the snake.

The giant snake bowed its waist and rushed over suddenly, opening its bloody mouth wide.The fishy wind blew the pears so that they couldn't stand.She clasped her hands together and held the little snake tightly in her hands.At the same time that the snake letter was splashing on his face, Ben Pingling made a pleasant sound.

With a "boom", a huge monster appeared in front of Lizi, knocking the giant snake into the air.Then there was a painful sound of hitting the wall in the distance.

Lizi threw a Shining Talisman.A melon-sized ball of light flew into the air, illuminating the surroundings.

In front of her was a huge boa constrictor more than ten stories high, with eight heads and eight tails, and its whole body was red.According to Shuten, she also painted cedar moss on the snake.

Following the big snake, these things also grew together.The giant snake that fell miserably in the distance was several times smaller than it at first glance, three or four floors at most.

"Master, master, I didn't know you were here, so I offended you." The big snake got up from the ground and swam over fearfully, and put its head lowly on the soles of the "Yamata no Orochi".

Riko was suddenly a little worried, because her "Baqi snake" couldn't speak.

Seeing that "Yaki no Orochi" didn't speak, the orochi was even more scared, thinking that the other party was angry, "Master, it's my fault, I don't have eyes. I thought this girl was here to hinder your affairs. I didn't know you knew her. You punish me."

It was shaking all over, like a wavy line, which made Pear dizzy.

The big snake spat out the snake letter, wanting to please its master's tail.But as soon as I got close, I felt something was wrong.How can it lick the owner's snake tail?

The owner's body is huge, each head and body are as big as a valley.This one doesn't look as big as a valley.

It became suspicious, and slowly raised its head to see what happened.

Lizi saw that it was no longer a wavy line, and immediately knew that the other party probably noticed it.With a thought in her mind, a killing intent surged up. "Baqi Orochi" sensed what she meant, and immediately raised his head and opened his mouth.The eight heads smashed down together.At the same time, a fiery red light jumped down from the sky, and cut off the giant snake's body together with the "Yatata no Orochi".

The serpent's blood spurted like a red fountain.Lizi immediately hid behind her own snake, and her eight bodies sensed her movements, and erected a straight row of walls to spray for her immediately.

The spurting of the giant snake's blood gradually dwindled.Lizi poked her head out from behind the snake's body.Under the illumination of the ball of light, Jiu Tun was seen standing there covered in blood, holding a burning knife in his hand.

"Jiu Tun, why are you here?" Li Zi shouted joyfully and rushed over, stopped half a meter away from the other party, stared at his blood stained body and asked, "Ah, are you injured?"

"It's just a skin wound," Jiu Tun said nonchalantly, "The blood was sprayed by this snake."

Thinking of the fountain-shaped blood just now, Lizi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, okay. But why are you here?" She asked again.

"I entered the eye of the formation and fell into a hall. I fought with the monster guarding there. Then I started looking for Seimei again. I heard a voice from here and ran over to have a look. Finally, I found you, my lord."

"Master Qingming hasn't found it yet?" Lizi trembled in her heart.

"No. How did your lord get in?" Jiu Tun asked.

"Rely on Inari God's guard. After you enter, the guard suddenly shines, which can isolate the heat of the blood column. That's how I came in."

"That's how it is." Jiu Tun said softly.

The two looked at each other after explaining their experiences, with a trace of distrust in their eyes.After a few seconds, they blurted out at the same time, "Are you really Jiu Tun?" "You won't be a monster turned into an adult?"

Seeing the other party also had the same thought, Lizi couldn't help but smile, "Actually, it's easy to tell. If you want to know if I'm real, just take you back. Of course, if you can't take it back, you are a fake."

"You're a fake if you can't take it back." Jiu Tun's eyes flashed with unkindness.He thinks that pears must not get in, and everything is an illusion created by monsters.

"That's it." Li Zi nodded, Jiu Tun's eyes flickered with surprise, and he disappeared.

"It looks real." She looked at the air that suddenly became empty in front of her eyes. "Really, you actually questioned me. I really want to lock you up for a while longer." Although he said so, he still scratched his fingertips and wrote Shuten's name.

A gleam of light flashed, and Jiu Tun reappeared in front of her, with a very complicated expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" Pear asked.

"Although I only stayed in the small black room for a short moment, the atmosphere inside was too depressing. I really don't want to go in again." Jiu Tun said with lingering fear.

"Is it that scary?"

"Very scary."

"Then Ibaraki will be fine if he stays inside?"

"He deserves it."

I don't know if it's because of the verification of his real body or something else, the corners of Shuten's mouth kept curling up, as if he was very happy.Lizi also no longer fears the dark because she has a companion by her side.The two began to continue walking forward.

Lizi told him that he saw people who came to destroy the formation outside.She didn't mention Yuzao because the other party didn't want people to know her identity.

"Is it okay if everything is destroyed?"

"It's useless," Jiu Tun said, "If you destroy the formation earlier, you can release the collected power. Now the power has flowed to the main tower along the spider web veins on the ground."

"The main tower?"

"Well, I guess Yamata no Orochi wants to gather strength and rush to the god position in one fell swoop. When he fell before, his strength was scattered a lot. As a result, even Gao Tianyuan can't enter now."

"Especially someone like him who has no believers needs more power. The main tower is a treasure that has accumulated power. If we can destroy it, those powers will leak out and dissipate."

"It should be difficult, right?"

"It's not that it's difficult, but it's impossible to do it at all." Jiu Tun said, "Who do you think will give up the chance to regain the throne? Yamata no Orochi must be guarding next to the main tower. Waiting for the power inside to finally condense into crystallization."

"Can you beat Yamata no Orochi?" Riko asked.

"I can't beat it." Jiu Tun said, "If He splits out a snake, it's almost the same."

"That is equivalent to needing eight Shuten?"

"It can be understood in this way." Shuten stopped while talking.

The front has come to an end, and a door as high as the wall appears in front of you.

"Do you want to go in?" Tsunade asked.

"If you don't go in, there is no way to go." Lizi said.

"Then, my lord, stand back a little, and I will open the door."

Riko nodded, watching Shuten cautiously push the door open.

The door is very heavy, and it can be seen that it is very difficult for Jiu Tun to push it.

With the blunt sound of heavy objects rubbing against the ground, the door was pushed open with a palm-sized gap.Soft bright light also poured out, filling the gap.

The voices from inside also surprised the two of them.

"It's not me." A cold, emotionless voice came out.

"Hey, we have a guest here." The voice of spring breeze followed.

Immediately after, a fierce murderous look followed, Jiu Tun pushed away the pears, drew out the burning knife and slashed forward.His movements stopped here.

A flesh-colored pillar protruded from Shuten's right chest.

Lizi just stared blankly at the flesh-colored pillar for a few seconds.

"Hmm." Jiu Tun knelt down in pain, and the flesh-colored pillar on his chest suddenly hooked up.

Only then did Lizi see clearly, those were slender, hard and thin flesh-colored fingers.

The flesh-colored fingers quickly lifted Jiuten up, but in the next second, Jiuten disappeared.

"Hey, so it's a shikigami. It seems that his owner has put it away." The owner of the voice inside the door still guessed, and he reached out to grab the pear again, but caught a thing with eight heads and eight tails.That's the version 2.0 of "Yachi Orochi" that Riko just released.

"Yamata no Orochi" was dragged in by Yamata, bringing down the huge door. With a "boom", the wooden door fell to reveal Lizi's figure.

Before she could see anything clearly, she heard a ghostly cry from inside, "Ah, isn't this me? I have eight heads and eight tails, with cedar trees and moss growing on my body, but I'm a little short. What's going on? Is this my brother from the same family? Qing..."

"To shut up."

"what?"

"I said shut up."

"Ok."

"Master Qingming." Lizi finally saw the young man wrapped in flames clearly, screamed and rushed towards him.

Seimei looked at her with a very relaxed smile, "That Yamata no Orochi did a good job." Saying so, he formed a mudra with one hand.A breeze swept by, and huge and ferocious flame chains fell in response.The young man fluttered down beside Li Zi.

"So you've been lying to us." Yamata sealed "Yamata no Orochi" in a ball, and looked at Seimei gloomyly with one hand. "I thought you were weak."

"I thought so too," Seimei said with a smile, "but it seems that the study has not been in vain."

Riko looked at Yamata no Orochi following his twilight.

The Yamata no Orochi suspended in mid-air, with silver light flowing faintly on the black hunting clothes.The dark purple belt was tied around the waist, and the part that dragged down was like a flowing snake letter.

The feet are also very ordinary, dark black clogs.Casualty is like going for a walk outside.He didn't treat the battle with due caution at all.

Although it looks like a simple dress out of practicality.But what emanates from his whole body is a sense of oppression that makes opponents feel invincible.

But Li Zi was not afraid of this oppressive feeling at all.It seems that every time I meet him, there will be a strange feeling in my heart.It was a feeling that giving to the other party would not hurt her.But it could also be an illusion.

"Master Seimei," Lizi leaned close to Seimei, covered her hands with her hands and said in a low voice, "The main tower, Shuten said that destroying the main tower can stop him."

"I heard your whispers." Yamata said dissatisfiedly, "But I have let you off a few times. This time it's not pretending to be a family. Even my best friend can't stop me." He said Looking at the two-meter-high Linglong Pagoda in the center of the hall, "This is my chance to return to Gaotianyuan."

"I really want to go back. My house is almost moldy. I want to go back and have a look." Yamata rambled.

"He's wasting time." Qingming said softly.

Riko's eyelashes fluttered slightly, remembering Shuten said that the main tower needs time to condense its power into crystals.

"Eh?" Her body froze suddenly, because Qingming suddenly pulled her into his arms at this moment.Of course, Yamata and Hayato Shimizu also froze with her.No one thought that Qingming would be so bold at this time.

"You go to attack him, and I'll destroy the tower." Qingming smiled lightly and whispered into her ear, "This time, it's up to Xiaoli whether you can hold back the annoying baby snake."

"But I..."

Seimei then pushed her towards Yamata no Orochi with the force of Qingfeng.He summoned Suzaku, and together they rushed to the main tower.

As soon as Lizi's body was light, she was carried into the air by the force of the wind, and rushed towards Yamata no Orochi.But within two seconds, the wind suddenly stopped, and the pear immediately fell from a height of eight meters.

"Ah, what should I do? Do I want to catch her?" Yamata looked terrified, "This is my own body, do I want to catch her with my own body?"

"It's really long-winded." Hayato Shimizu's voice came from his mouth, and at the same time his figure changed, and the shadow under his feet was like a living thing, extending infinitely in all directions like a snake.Some attacked Seimei, while others picked up Lizi.

"Yes, I forgot that I still have this ability." Yamata said with a smile.

When Lizi saw the shadow rushing towards her, she immediately released the Wind Control Talisman and flew up again with the power of the wind.She pulled out a dozen "Yaki no Orochi" and released them all.

Hayato Shimizu was staring at the shadow to control the direction to fight Seimei, when suddenly a bunch of giant snakes fell from the sky, twelve of them were 96 heads and 96 tails.

A "boom" buried him.

"What the hell is this?"

"Obviously made in your image. Why don't you ask yourself why you have so many hairs?"

"Hurry up and get out, the main tower is going to be gone."

"It deserves it. Is it because you didn't try your best?"

"I dare not."

In the quarrel of Yamata no Orochi, Lizi once again released two "Yakita no Orochi" to cooperate with Seimei to attack the main tower.With Seimei's hands quickly forming a seal, he released a huge Kikyo seal.

Suzaku turned into a huge fireball and followed Kikyo Yin to blast towards the main tower.Just like the last time they attacked the God of Pleasure.Yamata also broke free from a bunch of imitation versions of himself, shrinking and sealing them all into the ball.

But it was too late. On the top of the tower, the blazing red flames formed an amazing skyrocketing flame.Surround the tower completely.

With the sound of "Ka Ka Ka", the tower began to crack and collapse from the bottom.And not only the tower, but also the surrounding foundations and walls were also sucked in, turning into a large-scale avalanche.

Seimei hugged Lizi and pulled up the barrier.Amidst a roar, the tower fell completely.Buried the semicircular enchantment.

Countless forces flew like snow, and pieces fell into the ruins and disappeared immediately.

An expression of disbelief appeared on Yamata's pretty face, "Hey, that person who can't mention his name here. Our hard work was ruined by the most powerful shrine maiden in Heian-kyo again. Do you have any thoughts?"

Hayato Shimizu smiled shortly, "Didn't you harvest a bunch of small Yamata no Orochi? That's just right. In fact, I don't agree with you returning to the god position by sacrificing Heiankyo. Because too ostentatious way will attract the gods. angry."

"Well, it's useless to say anything now." Yamata said, "Don't choose Heian-kyo for another place next time. This place is unlucky. It's really abominable." He bent down and picked up a bunch of miniature Yamata snakes on the ground, and turned around disappear into thin air.

Seimei summoned Suzaku again and asked her to clear away the stones pressing on the barrier.Only then did they drill out together with the pears.

"Where are people?" Lizi looked around.

"Let's go." Qingming said lightly.

"Shuten." Lizi recalled the life and death of Shuten, and hurriedly summoned him.

But Jiu Tun was lying on the ground, but he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.The Yamata snake pierced through his right chest just now, which is the part of the heart.His face was pale and his body was limp.

"Shuten." Lizi touched his nose, feeling a little wheezing, but it was about to disappear.

"Don't worry," Seimei quickly checked Shuten's injury, and took out a small fingernail-sized chip from his pocket.

"What is this?" Li Zi's heart moved.

"The crystal condensed by Yamata no Orochi that accidentally fell on me just now. But it was only condensed a little bit. But it is enough to save Shuten's life." Qingming put the crystal crystal on Jiutun's chest as he said In the wound.

The wound emitted a soft light, and granulation sprouted at a speed visible to the naked eye.After tens of seconds, there is smooth skin.

Li Zi looked at Jiu Tun with a worried face, "Why hasn't he woke up yet?"

"The wounds in his body still need some time to heal, don't worry," Qingming said gently, "he will wake up in a while. And he will become stronger than before."

"strength?"

"Yeah, it's really cheap for him," Seimei said flatly, "It's just your shikigami, so it's nothing. Now you can let Ibaraki-douji out. I don't want to carry this guy up for a while."

"Can you let him go?" Lizi asked.

"Okay, the main tower is broken, and the effect of the red mirror cake will be removed."

"So that's how it is." Lizi nodded and re-wrote the blood summoning ceremony.

She squeezed her fingers to squeeze out more blood from the wound just now, and wrote Ibaraki Doji's name in the air.The blood-colored words swirled lightly in the air, and a gleam of light flashed, but nothing happened at all.

Eh?what happened?

Riko opened her eyes wide, the shikigami would appear after the light flashed before?

"While the wound is not closed, squeeze some blood and write again." The upright Suzaku made an inhuman suggestion beside him.

Lizi hesitated for a moment, but squeezed out some blood and wrote it again.

After a flash of light, nothing happened again.

Even Qingming was surprised this time, "Nothing will happen, right?"

"What's going to happen?" Lizi asked, "Is it dangerous inside?"

"It's not dangerous inside," said Suzaku, a frequent visitor to the small black house, "it just can't move, lying straight and floating in the darkness."

"Sometimes I bump into other shikigami. But Teng Snake said that he once bumped into a shikigami covered in thorns. I myself bumped into a shikigami like a fireball. I also shot out my fire and collided with him. Around All the shikigami cried."

Lizi's expression changed, "Could it be that Ibaraki is tied up and can't get out?"

……

Ibaraki looked at the Summoning Gates that kept appearing in front of his eyes with a complicated expression.

The effect of the red mirror cake disappeared, and he regained his sanity.If it wasn't for being unable to move, he really wanted to fan himself out.

Thinking of himself chasing Xiaoli and shouting for kisses and hugs, and giving me all the love, he felt his face burn.How will I meet people after this?

The door of summoning lit up in front of his eyes again, as long as he said yes, he could return to Xiaoli's side again.But, how could he have the nerve to reply... I can think of how Jiu Tun ridiculed him.

Countless envious and jealous eyes casted in the empty space.Many of them have not seen the bright sunshine outside for a long time.How happy is the shikigami summoned by the master.It's been so many times, how much his master misses him, he still takes Joe, it's disgusting.

The gate of summoning closed again.Ten seconds later it turned on again.Izuku remained stubbornly motionless.

Shikigami, who had been lying next to him for more than ten years, said with tears at the corner of his mouth, "Brother, are you going or not?"
