Yuan Jiangtian, who left the dungeon, did not go directly back to his residence.As the two onmyojis said just now, his saber was missing.

It used to be a custom to hand over the ghost knife, but now I am not used to it suddenly.It seems to be empty, something is missing.

Yuan Jiangtian walked towards the altar. Although the place was not built underground, the entrance was also very secret.

Walking through the area covered by mazes and spiritual spells, an ancient building appeared in front of you.

"Master Yuan Jiangtian." The warriors and onmyoji guarding in front of the altar saluted after seeing him.

"Is the ghost knife finished?" Yuan Jiangtian asked.

"The ceremony is not completely over, it will probably take a while."

"En." Yuan Jiangtian didn't ask any more questions, just stood quietly and waited.

"Master Yuan Jiangtian, do you need to go in and see for yourself?" The onmyoji saw this and suggested to him.

Yuan Jiangtian shook his head, lowered his eyes and replied, "No, it's the same when I'm here." He was not curious about the opening ceremony a long time ago.

Speaking of which, that is also a long and distant memory.

The weather was extremely hot that day, and the children who were carefully selected by the host family to be trained as warriors lined up neatly in a row.

"From today onwards, you will be cultivated as Genji's sharp weapons, and you will protect the glory and dignity of the entire family in the future." The trainer's voice was resonant and powerful, and his words infected many children.

When they were selected, they already knew their mission, and now they are given hope again, and their hearts become more and more yearning.

"Now, let's do a talent test. The most outstanding child will inherit this knife in my hand. This is a precious knife handed down in the family. It has been repaired and strengthened by blacksmiths throughout the generations, and it is extremely sharp."

The children's eyes were looking forward to, and their gazes on Baodao were very hot.

In the end, the treasured sword belonged to a silent child.

"Yuan Jiangtian, in order to live up to your talent and the precious sword in your hand, you must practice martial arts with all your heart, and become a veritable guardian of the family as soon as possible."

"I understand." The child replied.

"Very good. Now take the treasured sword and sharpen it with me." The trainer arranged the training for the other children, but Yuan Jiangtian left alone.

"Teacher, what is sharpening?" The child couldn't help asking him.

"Every precious sword is in a locked state before it is unsheathed. It is the most suitable time to sharpen it. It is a ritual of strengthening and tempering it, and it may even be reborn and cast into a magic weapon. .”

"Amazing."

When they reached the door of the altar, a girl wearing a priestess costume was walking in silently.

"Sister Witch..." The child recognized the girl and wanted to say hello to her, but was stopped by the trainer.

"Don't yell in front of the altar, it's disrespectful to the gods." The trainer said so, and the child had no choice but to follow behind him quietly.

"Teacher, is the witch sister praying to the gods?"

"It can also be said that. After all, without her, the blade cannot be performed." The trainer said meaningfully, the dark color in his eyes was like a deep pool with an invisible bottom.

That day, the sword was successfully sharpened.

The bright sunlight fell on the extremely sharp blade, shining brightly.

——"You will definitely become our Genji's strongest warrior!"

The words of anticipation carry excitement that cannot be concealed.

However, since that day, the child has never been able to see the priestess who entered the altar with the sword again.

-

Recovering from the prison of memory, Yuan Jiangtian looked at the familiar altar door, and couldn't help feeling a little more bored.

I don't know why, but recently I always think of the distant past frequently.It has been nearly a hundred years since he became the "Ghost Slaying Blade".Familiar and close people are gradually aging or even dying, but he still maintains his original appearance.

Probably influenced by the ghost knife?

In Yuan Jiangtian's gaze, there was rarely a bit of confusion.

"The big thing is bad, Master Yuan Jiangtian—!" Suddenly, a panicked voice interrupted his thoughts.

Yuan Jiangtian looked up at the onmyoji running towards him, and asked seriously, "What happened?"

"Ghost knife... The sharpening of the ghost knife failed..." After saying this, the onmyoji collapsed on the ground in a daze as if all his strength had been sucked out.

In the past century, this is the first time that the ghost knife has failed.

Yuan Jiangtian asked after a brief stupor, "Why did it fail? What went wrong?"

"We don't know either. At the beginning everything was as usual, but at the end, it suddenly failed." Onmyoji tried hard to recall the situation at that time, but still couldn't understand the reason for the failure.

In the end, he could only guess cautiously, "Perhaps the spiritual power is not enough to complete this time's cutting... After all, it is only a few short months since the last cutting..."

"..." Yuan Jiangtian was silent for a while, and then replied, "It is indeed more and more frequent."

-

Soon, the Patriarch of the Yuan family also learned the news.Compared with Yuan Yuan Jiang Tian's silence, he was huge and furious.

"A bunch of trash, what's the use of raising you, you can't even cut a knife well!"

The onmyojis kneeling on the ground were anxious and did not dare to refute the words of the Patriarch of the Yuan family.He alone is in charge of the current Yuan family, and the elders hide from the world and adopt a laissez-faire attitude.

"Lack of spiritual power?" The Patriarch of the Yuan family looked darkly, "Then go and sacrifice a few more, I don't want to hear the news of failure again. The ghost knife must be strengthened, and the appointment of the gods is coming soon, our Yuan family The... wait."

The Patriarch of the Yuan Family who suddenly remembered something suddenly lost his voice. He frowned and thought for a while, before laughing, "Why did I forget the appointment made by the envoy?"

"It doesn't matter if Yinghua doesn't cooperate with the task, and it doesn't matter if the ghost knife fails. As long as the final goal is not wrong, the winner will always be our Genji."

Then, he will also prove to everyone that he is the most wise head of the Yuan family.As for Yuan Manzhong, what a thing!

"Go get ready, I want to go to the palace now to see the Emperor."

The onmyojis kneeling below couldn't guess what the Patriarch was thinking, and couldn't help but look at each other when they heard his order.

At this time, why does the Patriarch want to see the Emperor?

-

Fujiwara family.

"At this time, what is the head of the Gen family going to the palace for?" Fujiwara Sangki heard the latest news, and a look of disdain flashed across his face. "I heard that he imprisoned Yinghua in the torture hall. Did the envoy of the gods not plan to let Yinghua participate in the covenant?"

"Master Heyu said she didn't know, but in a few days it will be the day when the envoy's covenant will officially start. If Priestess Yinghua can't make it back to the shrine, she will be ineligible to participate in the election by default."

"It doesn't matter, our family has only one goal. That is to let Nana become the chief priestess this time, and let the power of our Fujiwara family expand again with the help of faith."

With the same ambition as any scheming Patriarch, this young Patriarch is a little more decisive than the old people who are looking forward and backward.
