At night, the shrine is lit with lights.

Bai Shu didn't feel like going to sleep, he closed the door for Ji Jiao and Hua Ying, and sat on the steps outside the house with his clothes on to watch the stars.

The sky is like splashed ink, and there are thousands of stars spread out.In the era of serious industrial pollution in the 21st century, it is absolutely impossible to have so many bright stars, and you can only see various polluting gases floating in the sky when you open your eyes.

Is it possible to go back?Probably there is no other way.

At night, people will be unconsciously vulnerable emotionally.Bai Shu looked down at his palm, he knew there was a kind of power in this body.When he first came to this world, he could heal the wounds of the little fox, and he could also crush the monsters he met at noon.The original owner did not have such power, otherwise his village would not have been hit by the tsunami.

Is this his own power?

"It's so late, isn't Bai Shu still asleep?" When You Nai stepped into his courtyard, he saw Bai Shu sitting on the steps outside at first sight.The simple red and white priestess costume looked a little thin on him, after all, Bai Shu was only a half-grown child.

Bai Shu was not annoyed when his thoughts were disturbed, and replied with a smile, "I have slept for a long time in the afternoon, and I am not sleepy now." The more important thing is that Jacaranda and Campanulaceae are both girls, so of course it is inappropriate for me to sleep in the same room with them.

"Well, would you like to drink tea in my room?" Aruno suggested.It's not good to let children blow the cold wind all the time, especially in the season approaching late autumn, the night wind is cool, and it is easy to get sick.

Bai Shu followed You Nai into another room, this is not a bedroom, but a compartment full of various gadgets, in the middle of the room there is a wooden coffee table and some snacks on the coffee table.

You Nai brewed a cup of scented tea for Bai Shu, with the aroma of tranquilizing grass, the atmosphere was peaceful.

"I'll go to the shrine to pray later. It's windy at night, so Bai Shu should be careful of catching cold." You Nai brought a small blanket for Bai Shu, "You can eat whatever you like on the tea table, you're welcome."

"Thank you, Sister Yuno." Bai Shu carefully took a sip of the hot tea, the scented tea was still a little hot, but it warmed his stomach.It's not bad to just sit like this for one night, I hope I can go back to live in my own courtyard tomorrow, men and women are different... Bai Shu looked at the face reflected in the cup, with a faint sadness on his brows.

After You Nai sat with Bai Shu for a while, he had to go to the shrine to pray again.Today the monster broke into the shrine and sounded the alarm bell of Chiba Shrine.After being at ease for too long, people tend to forget the previous disasters.

The night wind that is approaching late autumn is very gloomy and cold.Human beings are shivering in the cold wind, but some ghosts in the underworld love it very much.

The wind blew out the lights outside Chiba Shrine, and the corner of the alley was plunged into darkness.In the dim shadows, thick spider legs flashed past.Fortunately, I had a glimpse of the moonlight, and gradually saw the appearance of the monster.

His long black hair spread down to his waist, and on his face, which was more handsome than human beings, a pair of red eyes were half-closed, showing no trace of joy or sorrow.He was wearing a purple kimono, the fabric of which was not inferior to that of the great nobles in Kyoto. If he could ignore the thick spider legs entrenched on his sides, this man would definitely fascinate people.

"Master Naraku, the barrier of Chiba Shrine has been repaired, and we can't get in for the time being..." A half-human, half-ghost monster reported the situation to him in a low voice.

Hearing such an incompetent answer from his subordinates, he sneered, and when he raised his hand, the evil spirit was already concentrated in his left hand, and the dense spider webs sealed the surrounding monsters tightly.The aggressive demonic aura and spider silk mixed together, approaching their fate.

"Didn't a few monsters go in today?" Even though he was not in Qianye Town in the afternoon, Naraku still knew the whereabouts of his subordinates like the back of his hand. "What did you do while I was away?"

"Except... except for the ghost-faced monster who is greedy for the jade of the four souls and its subordinates, everyone is waiting for Master Naraku's orders." The monster closest to Naraku replied tremblingly.

"Hmph, not enough to succeed, more than to fail." Naluo withdrew her spider silk, and those monsters entangled by the spider silk fell to the ground, falling in different shapes, but they dared not make a sound, for fear of offending the person in front of them.

Naraku didn't have the heart to take care of his subordinates any more, and glanced at the Chiba Shrine. The new barrier didn't seem much more stable than the previous one, and it would be a matter of time before it broke through.

The ghost-faced monsters sneaked into Chiba Shrine to snatch the jade of the four souls while they were away, not to mention all of them died, and alerted the people of Chiba Shrine.

According to legend, the Chiba Shrine is blessed by the gods, and the power of the gods is getting weaker and weaker, and it will not take long for it to decline.

Compared with Chiba Town, Naraku cares more about Kyoto.Genji's main house was attacked by a big monster last night, and now the entire Kyoto is on alert.I don't know who that big monster is. He rushed to the capital today and found nothing, which made him a little absent-minded.

I just hope that it's not the half-demon who snatched the jade of the four souls from me.

Kyoto.

After experiencing the disaster of the Yuan family, the bustling street in the past became depressed overnight.People try to keep their doors closed as much as possible, only the guards and onmyojis in charge of order in Kyoto patrol back and forth.

The traditional Yuan family has never been so downcast.The scorched main house of the Yuan family was unguarded, and the huge main house was like a trapped animal crawling on the ground and panting.

Few courtyards that have not been engulfed by the fire are still exquisite, like a plucked phoenix with a few bright wings, abrupt and ironic.

The old house slave stepped into a courtyard and knelt on the ground, "Master Yuan Jiangtian... Patriarch, please go over."

"Okay." A dull voice came from inside the room.The old house slave raised his eyes to see the sunlight falling on the eaves, and then heard the sound of slow steps.When the man came out, his snow-white hair was very eye-catching in the sunlight. Perhaps it was because he didn't go out all year round. His skin was fair, and his expressionless face looked a bit sick.

But in the Yuan family, those who have control know that this seemingly weak person is their Yuan family's biggest reliance at present.Humanoid weapon, Yuan Jiangtian.

Walking through the corridor revealing a decadent atmosphere, the ugly scorched black seems to be telling the previous humiliation.Even if you invite the best craftsmen in Kyoto, repairing the entire Genjia is not something that can be completed in a day or two.

The owner's courtyard was the most dilapidated, but now everyone gathered there, and all the etiquette remained the same.Except for Yuan Jiangtian, there is no need to salute the Patriarch.

"Patriarch." After Yuan Jiangtian entered the courtyard, the originally noisy courtyard became quiet for a while.Dozens of eyes fell on him, with excitement, fear, worry, and disgust.

From the crowd, a man in a fine attire walked out.He is already in his forties, and he has been in charge of the huge Yuan family for decades.The Patriarch of the Yuan family, who is in a high position, even the royal family is courteous, had to shout out respectfully, "Master Yuan Jiangtian" when facing him.

For a moment, the originally quiet crowd became even more silent.

"What's the matter?" Yuan Jiangtian's expression remained calm, his eyes were as black as ink, but there was no light in them.

"Did Master Yuan Jiangtian catch the big monster who attacked the main house of the Yuan family the night before?" The Patriarch of the Yuan family asked, looking at Yuan Jiangtian with complicated eyes.

"No, I escaped." Yuan Jiangtian seemed to think of the monster only now.In memory, in the overwhelming demon fire, the flamboyant Nine Tails and majestic demon aura swept towards him.He drew his sword to fight the monster and stopped the raging monster fire, but the price was a hideous wound on his right hand, which penetrated the flesh and has not healed until now.

Hearing Yuan Jiangtian's answer, the Patriarch of the Yuan family showed uneasiness on his face.Monsters always seek vengeance, they cut the weeds without eradicating the roots, and when they recover their vitality and come back to take revenge, they may suffer another disaster of the main house being destroyed.

Yuanjia's weapon missed, what should we do?The Patriarch of the Yuan Family subconsciously rubbed the ring on his right thumb. It was the seal of the noble Patriarch. When the Yuan Family encountered a big crisis, the Patriarch could go to the "altar" to ask.

"We may go to the "altar" to pray for the family, is Master Yuan Jiangtian going?" asked the Patriarch of the Yuan family.

altar.

Hearing these two words, Yuan Jiangtian's quiet eyes seemed to touch something, and before the memories came to his mind, he was repressed by the contract.He said, "No."

"That's a pity, but Master Yuan Jiangtian's saber needs to be baptized." The Patriarch of the Yuan family reached out to ask Yuan Jiangtian for his saber.

It is a peerless sharp weapon, and it is also a famous guardian sword handed down by the Yuan family from generation to generation. It gathers the painstaking efforts of countless generations of sword smiths, and is then worn by the best onmyoji of the Yuan family.

Yuan Jiangtian did not refuse, he handed the saber to the Patriarch.Just like the previous generation of patriarchs handed it over to themselves as a medium of "weapon" to protect Genji, it is a contract imprinted on the blood until death.

The source family is devastated, and the people who caused all this are watching their achievements from afar.

The security in Kyoto is of no use to him. The weapons raised by the Yuan family are getting sharper and sharper from generation to generation. His revenge is only to make that person pay the same price.

However, if he was killed, the Yuan family might raise some monsters.Such a weak creature like human beings, greedy but extremely huge, is really ugly... I don't know why, when thinking of this, a face appeared in Tamamozen's mind.

That child is an exception, Tamamomae subconsciously thought.When he came back to his senses, the face under the exquisite fox mask was a little stiff.

There was a strange feeling slowly rising in his heart, Yu Zaoqian suddenly wanted to go back to that mountain forest to have a look...Of course, he was just wandering around with nothing to do.

Chiba Shrine.

The shrine did not let the people know about the monster attack, and there are still many believers who come to worship the god today.Incense is placed on the top of the shrine.

"The barriers in the courtyard of the three of you have been re-arranged, and it is impossible for monsters to break in." Aruno brought the three apprentice witches back to their courtyard, and the appearance remained the same as before.A barrier invisible to the naked eye guards the courtyard steadily. "It doesn't matter if you can't see the enchantment, you will know after today."

"Huh?" Jacaranda poked her head, her face full of curiosity.

"Today I'll teach you how to open your spiritual vision." Yuno didn't pretend to be mysterious, and told them the answer directly.

The so-called spiritual vision refers to seeing spiritual things hidden in the secular world.There may be evil ghosts and monsters, or it may be Yin Qi and aura.Spirit Vision is a compulsory course for every Onmyoji, and going to Miko is considered an advanced course.

It's been quite chaotic recently, let Bai Shu and the three apprentice witches learn this, it's a kind of self-protection ability.

Halfway through the teaching, Aruno found that the three of them had different starting points.Kikyo has long been able to use the spirit vision easily because of her family, and Bai Shu is half a beat slower than her, and can master it after she finishes speaking.And the jacaranda...

"Concentrate, Kajacara, don't get distracted." Arino touched the little girl who was depressed. Against the backdrop of the other two apprentice priestesses, she, a new scholar, was obviously clumsy.

"I'm sorry..." Huaying lowered her head, and she opened her spirit vision seriously according to the method Yuno said.But still can't see, "I can't see the cherry blossoms."

Yuno uses spiritual energy to condense a "cherry blossom". This cherry blossom cannot be seen with the naked eye, but needs to be observed with spiritual vision.Huaying looked at Arino's empty palm, once again frustrated with her talent, why couldn't she see it?Could it be that he has no talent at all?

Just thinking about it, Huaying couldn't help feeling a little anxious.Cold sweat oozes from her forehead, and her mental strength is highly exhausted.After repeated attempts several times, she still could only shake her head.

"Don't worry about Huaying, take a look slowly and sense the special breath fluctuation in the space." Bai Shu taught her his method.

"Special breath fluctuation?" Huaying repeated this sentence, and looked at Bai Shu with half-knowledge.

Bai Shu nodded and continued, "Close your eyes and try."

"But...but, if you close your eyes, you won't be able to see even more." Huaying hesitated.

"No, after closing the eyes, people's perception will be magnified. What's in the air? Now there is a wind blowing over, but after the wind blows, the surrounding environment is very calm, and some strange breaths are still flowing..." Bai Shufang Slowing down her voice, Huaying listened to his words while closing her eyes to sense what he said.

"I see! It's a white cherry blossom!" When Huaying opened her eyes, she finally saw the delicate cherry blossom in Arino's palm.

"That's right." Arino nodded with a smile.

"Thank you, Sister Yuno and Sister Baishu." Huaying swept away her previous frustration.

"..." Kikyo watched this scene from the side, silent.Previously, I thought that Huaying was like an ordinary person, but I didn't expect that she also has spiritual power.

"Let's practice again, and if you have any doubts, you can ask me." Arino was speaking when a priestess ran over with a very anxious expression on her face.

"You are the great witch, Master Xinzi calls you over."

"Okay, I see." Arino nodded, and then dismissed Bai Shu and the others, "You three go back and rest first."

Bai Shu watched Yuno and the priestess go away, he had a bad premonition, too many things happened at Chiba Shrine recently, and life was also ups and downs.

"I hope things will go smoothly and everyone will be safe." Seeing Bai Shu's sad look, Hua Ying clasped his hands together and spoke plausibly.

"Yes, let's go back first." Bai Shu sighed.

When he walked to the door with the jacaranda, he suddenly found that the platycodon hadn't followed, which made Bai Shu a little puzzled, turned his head and looked back, and the platycodon was looking down at the jade of the four souls in his palm, wondering what to think.

"Jiangsu, do you want to go back together?" Bai Shu asked her.

Kikyo looked up at him subconsciously, clenched the Jade of the Four Souls in his hand and shook his head, "I...I want to go to Sister Yuno and Master Xinzi, maybe they are monsters again..."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Bai Shu saw that she was still worried about what happened before, and Kikyo had a delicate mind, and he didn't know how long he would feel guilty if he went on like this. "If it's about the Jade of the Four Souls, Elder Sister You Nao and Master Xin Zi will definitely come to see us. Now go back with us first, it's not good to rush over and disturb."

"Okay...Okay." Kikyo finally smiled, and walked back with Bai Shu and the others.

On the way, Huaying pulled Bai Shu by the corner of his clothes, followed step by step, and from time to time would act like a baby to Bai Shu, who was one year older than her.And Bai Shu's mental age is exactly twice as old as these two children, and he is a boy, so he can take care of them more if he can.

Jacaranda is completely a child, but Platycodon is different. Although young, except for occasional fragility, other aspects are similar to the old child Baishu.

In the evening, You Nao and Xin Zi came over together.

As Bai Shu said, regarding the Jade of the Four Souls, they would come directly to Kikyo.

"Because the Gen family in Kyoto was attacked by a big monster, and the whole of Kyoto is under martial law, we asked the Onmyoji in Kyoto to come over and strengthen the barrier, but it was rejected." Xinzi explained the reason to the three of them clearly, "In order to prevent the monster from breaking through the barrier again , or to be prepared to be broken through by the monster, Kikyo should live with me for the time being."

"Okay." Kikyo nodded. In addition to the powerful enchantment in Mrs. Xinzi's residence, Mrs. Xinzi is also a witch with powerful spiritual power.Rather than staying with Baishu and the others and causing trouble, it's better to live with Lord Xinzi.

"Everyone, please remember to obediently stay inside the house during the time from You hour to the next morning, and don't run out." Xinzi reminded Bai Shu and the others.

"Why is that, Master Xinzi." Huaying was a little puzzled.

Xinzi looked at her and replied, "After the unitary hour begins, it is the time when the yang energy in the world declines and the yin energy increases. Some demons and ghosts living in the underworld will come out from the gap between yin and yang, and it is also the time when some monsters are powerful. Yin and yang People at the Normal University call it "the moment of encountering the devil."
