After pretending to be blind in front of the cursed king and being exposed

At the end of autumn night, a small county town in Feizhou was immersed in the night.Every household extinguished the oil lamps, and the servants in the noble mansion also fell asleep.

The girl in the vermilion gown walked silently under the moonlight, her long black hair was like a waterfall of soft moonlight.

In her right hand, she is holding on to a certain kind of braided fabric, on which is affixed a charm written in Chinese ink, which is weird and grotesque under the moonlight.

Walking outside the courtyard wall of a large family, the girl wrapped her feet with magic power and entered the courtyard lightly. After a short dozen seconds, she stepped out again without anyone noticing.

She no longer has that weave in her hand, but an extra piece of charm.

***

Recently, the demons in Feizhou have become more and more frequent, causing headaches for the nobles and the royal family.

I don't know if demons like to gather in crowded places, the nobles with a large number of people in the house are the most miserable.

The local witches, exorcists, and conjurers were invited by the nobles to enter the house, and those from other states also came one after another.

Incidents of ghosts and monsters hurting people are still frequent, and some ghosts with powerful curses even hurt several demon exorcists.

The Urakami family, as a well-known family of witches in the local area, had to reject the nobles who came to invite witches.

Because their witches also shut them out.

If this situation does not happen, some nobles feel that the Urakami family, which lives on the shrine maiden, is about to decline.

But at other nobles, I saw the witch of the Urakami family who slayed demons.

Behind that priestess, there are no more maids around.

The nobles who invited her to slay demons found that she no longer used the compass gracefully, but often punched and kicked a large piece of air.

Nobles: ?

She even set up her own family, claiming that she is no longer affiliated with the Urakami family.

Her current surname is Enokido, and her single name is Aoi.

You can distinguish her from other demon slayers by calling her Enokido-sama.

Nobles: ? ?

Many aristocrats said that the priestess Enokido-sama is really effective in slaying demons.

As long as she comes, not to mention the house is clean, even the arms and waist that have been sore for several days will be relieved.

While they were speculating about the grievances between the Miko-sama and the Urakami family, someone claimed to have seen the Urakami family bring a team of soldiers and attendants trying to bring the Miko-sama back to the Urakami family, and as a result, these people were all scattered outside her courtyard. lying on a street.

Nobles: ? ? ?

Linai didn't think so, just these ordinary humans, how could they compare with that monster Su Nuo.

Since she knew that she might not be able to use spells, she has worked hard on physical fitness and the use of spell power.

There are only two things worth mentioning during this period.

That is, another curse spirit, whose IQ does not seem to be very high, found her and asked her to hand over something.

When she beat the curse spirit to the ground and asked what it was, the curse spirit couldn't tell.

Rina: "..."

There is also the two-faced Nuo that appears every short period of time.

Every time they meet, they must fight, and they will not stop until they break a few bones of her.

Then he would say "good" like a pat on a puppy, and then heal her body well.

He is actually looking for a sandbag that will evolve autonomously in the long run, right?

Rina classified this as the pinnacle of boredom.

Excluding the uncertain factor of Su Nuo, things are developing towards the discovery of Linai's intention.

The last time she stayed in Heianjing for half a year, it is only one month now, and she has already helped Aoi to break away from that family.

In the middle of the night, Linai, who had practiced the spell all night, made a pot of tea for herself, and drank slowly one sip at a time.

The evening wind blew, and the teacup slipped from her hand and hit the tatami.

The water in the teacup splashed and wet the hem of her kimono.

And the girl who was holding the teacup just fainted to the ground.

In less than a minute, the girl got up again.She looked down and shook her hands again, a little unbelievable.

Soon, the soft eyes became panic, because under the moonlight, a human-shaped shadow stretched all the way towards her on the tatami.

The shadow covered her lower limbs, and finally covered her whole body kneeling on the ground.

The cherry-colored short-haired ghost, surrounded by anger, seemed to have done nothing, and the teapot on the ground shattered in front of him.

"Where did that human soul go?"

Teacups and teapots: what are we doing wrong?

***

Mingming Shrine's bell was a hundred meters away from the backyard of the shrine, and the eager and continuous collision still woke up Rina.

She was stunned for a moment, and soon realized where she was now.

--She has come back.

How is it possible to come back?Shouldn't she be in that era for half a year?

When she traveled for the first time, she discovered that the time flow rates of the two space-times were completely different.

She lived in the Heian period for half a year, and returning to the shrine was just a night of sleep for her.

And now, the moon is still high, and the clock shows 1:[-] am.

Rina didn't have time to think about it, because at the shrine, the bell of the worship hall sounded like it was about to break in a second.

Apparently it was the bell that woke her up.

what happened?

Lina hurriedly changed into her regular clothes, and in the corridor, Grandpa got up too.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I'll take a look first."

Linai's wooden mop was banging loudly in the hallway.

As soon as she left the backyard of the communal courtyard, Rina was stuck in place.

Several curse spirits ran past her, turned a blind eye to her, and went straight to the direction of the temple.

This was the first time Rina saw so many curse spirits in the shrine.

As soon as these curse spirits left, a black curtain suddenly rose in front of Linai's eyes. This curtain was like a huge and thick black curtain.

When I came back to my senses, except for their residence in the backyard of the shrine, the entire shrine was shrouded in this black curtain.

The originally noisy bell was cut off by the black screen for an instant, and it became quiet.

Rina, who was worried about the inside of the shrine, reached out and touched the black curtain.

Her hand didn't touch anything, but went straight through.

—she can go there.

This is the shrine where my grandfather lived all his life, and she must go there.

Reina held her breath and slammed into the black curtain.

There was no resistance, and the interior was the same as usual, except that it was a little dark under the effect of the shady curtain.

It's like clearly seeing the moon, but the moonlight can't fully penetrate it.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw eyes turn to her direction in the darkness.

In front of Linai, more than a dozen large and small curse spirits all turned to her.

Without even giving her time to think, a curse spirit with big eyes pounced on Rina.

She almost instinctively followed the content of the practice in that time and space, instantly wrapped the spell power around her hands, and then swung her arm to hit the direction of the spell spirit.

etc!She suddenly remembered that she couldn't use the magic power in this body!

But it was too late for this thought, her hand was already about to make intimate contact with the flying curse spirit.

Linai thought that her hand would be bitten off, but when the curse spirit touched her, it exploded and was eliminated.

Lena:? ? ?

She has magic power, how is this possible? !

There are too many weird things, the most important thing for her now is to understand what is going on in the shrine.

These spells were too weak, and Rina easily broke through them.

She found that the closer to the temple, the stronger the spell.

A curse spirit with a figure like a giant mosquito vibrated its wings, and its sharp mouthparts like steel needles came straight towards her.

Rina easily dodged the aerial killer's first blow.

Compared with Su Nuo's arrow, the speed of this curse spirit is not as thrilling at all.

But it was too fast, and Rina couldn't attack it.

It would be nice if she could also be a ranged mage.

First something penetrated the flesh and blood, and then there was a crisp sound hitting the ground.

The agile mosquito spell suddenly faltered, and finally fell beside Lina like a plane crash.

"Eh?" Rina didn't even see what happened.

"I knew you, a little girl, could see us."

A short, one-eyed old man with a raised forehead came out of the shadows, throwing a stone up and down in his hand.

He happily threw the stone, and the stone pierced through the four curse spirits one after another at a speed that was hard to catch with the naked eye.

He was the one who killed the Mosquito Curse Spirit with one blow just now!

That curse spirit that has lived in this shrine as long as she can remember!

Rina stepped back warily.

This curse spirit is not comparable to those who can't even speak clearly. He is very strong.

"Old man, am I that scary? I watched you grow up as a little girl." The one-eyed old man touched the back of his head, and threw out the stone that appeared out of thin air in his hand, killing the curse spirit that was approaching Linai in seconds.

...It's not scary anymore.

"Why are there so many curse spirits in the shrine?" Linai asked, but she didn't dare to take it lightly.

"Because something very strong appears here, you humans seem to call it a cursed thing. I, an old man, am also very troubled." After finishing speaking, the one-eyed old man seemed to be really embarrassed.

How could there be such a thing in the shrine?

"Looks like there's another guest coming."

After the one-eyed old man finished speaking, Rina noticed two people approaching the temple in the distance.

"What kind of cursed thing is this? It attracts too many cursed spirits." The man in black clothes and black hair who walked in front melted into the night.

On the left and right sides of him, one black and one white, were two half-human tall dogs, biting the curse spirit.

"Salmon." The man behind him had short light brown chestnut hair, and his clothes covered his mouth, saying words that Linai couldn't understand.

The clothes of the two of them are uniform, like some kind of organization.

"Who are they?" Linai and the one-eyed old man were both in the northeast corner outside the temple at this time, and these two men should not be easily found.

"As long as you don't destroy the shrine, you're a guest, haha." The one-eyed old man put his hands behind his back and walked slowly towards the two of them.

Rina: "..."

Goujuji, a second-year student at the Higher School of Cursing, and Fu Heihui, a freshman who is a first-year student, received the task of sealing the cursed thing.

They set up the "tent" and entered, and found that there were too many spell spirits in the "tent".

This is a very powerful cursed thing, probably at the first level.

That's why so many curse spirits are attracted to loot.

Fu Heihui's technique can summon shikigami, and he summoned his own black and white jade dog to open the way.

The two jade dogs could find the breath of the curse, and they fought the curse spirit forcefully.

And the breath of the cursed thing pointed directly at the temple.

"These hateful curse spirits actually invaded places like shrines." Fu Heihui said.

"Salmon." As a spellcaster, the dog curly spines cursed, and he could only echo it with the words of rice ball ingredients.

All the way to the entrance of the temple, a huge multi-handed and multi-legged curse spirit suddenly sprang out from the ground from the roof.

Although his body is fat, his movements are quick. As soon as this curse spirit appeared, he grabbed Fu Heihui tightly.

"Is it close to a first-level curse spirit?" Fu Heihui made a seal with both hands, "Ne!"

The owl-like bird form god swooped down from its mouth, and its sharp claws were about to bring up and down black benefits, when it was slapped away by the hand of the curse spirit.

The dog curly spine below pulled down his collar, revealing the mantra at the corner of his mouth, and shouted: "Don't move!"

The curse spirit really didn't move, and Fu Heihui took the opportunity to escape and put his feet back on the ground.

But only for a few seconds, the curse spirit waved its limbs again, knocking the two into the air.

Fu Heihui, who hadn't formally enrolled yet, suddenly realized how serious a task she had received.

While the two jade dogs were attacking the curse spirit, Fu Heihui was about to summon the next shikigami.

"Whoosh" - the sound pierced the night sky.

The curse spirit, whose strength was close to the first level, suddenly stopped moving.

Then there were several similar sounds, like arrows piercing objects.

No, faster and sharper than that.

The huge curse spirit crashed to the ground.

Fu Hei and Gou Juan looked at each other.

This kind of power to instantly kill quasi-first-level magic spirits is either a super-level magician, or—a super-level magic spirit? !

As if to test their conjecture, a short and small figure walked slowly along the side corridor next to the temple.

One-eyed protruding forehead, green beard.

How long has this spell been there?

Fu Hei and Gou Juan didn't even realize it.

Special grade spell spirit, this is not a level they can handle.

"Senior Goujuan, I will let Nue and Jade Dog attack later, you use a spell to hold it, and we will run away." Fu Heihui made the decision with the least risk.

"Salmon."

The two first put on an attacking posture, and when Shikigami was about to attack, Fu Heihui stopped him suddenly.

Both he and Gou Juan saw that a human girl came out from behind the super curse spirit.

Rina could tell that the one-eyed old man was strong, but when he easily killed the magic spirit that bothered the two teenagers who looked like magicians, she was completely sure.

This is not something she can provoke the curse spirit.

"Seeing that they didn't destroy the temple, I'll help them." The one-eyed old man seemed to have done a trivial thing.

This stunned the two teenagers.

Rina could clearly see the way they looked at the curse spirit, as if they were about to die.

"Are you coming to my shrine to remove the curse?"

Rina is probably the only one who can eliminate this atmosphere.

"Your shrine?" The black-haired young man was puzzled, "You are not... the hostage of this special magic spirit."

"Sea quina." Another teenager said a confused word again.

"I am the priestess of this shrine, and my name is Enokido Rina." Rina walked down the stairs, "Hostage? Probably not."

"I'm Fu Heihui, a prospective first-year student at the Conjuration College." The black-haired young man is still afraid of the one-eyed old man, "Only people who are dying or non-conjurers in special circumstances can see the curse spirit, you see get them?"

Rina shrugged, but didn't answer.

"You haven't said what you are doing here, and this shady scene is also your trick."

She guessed that this shady scene had the effect of trapping the magic spirit or isolating non-magic masters.

"This is a tent, and it has the function of isolation." The young man who claimed to be Fu Heihui explained, then glanced at the curse spirit behind Linai, and lowered his voice, "We are here to seal the cursed thing. If the cursed thing is cursed If the spirit absorbs it, something big may happen."

As soon as Fu Heihui finished speaking, the one-eyed old man had already come to Lina's side, in front of him.

He and Gou Juan took a big step back almost subconsciously.

"Why don't you young people take care of the old man when you talk? This shrine is looking for something, and asking me is the fastest. Besides, the cursed thing is not good tea, and eating it will ruin the old man's stomach." The one-eyed old man looked at it. Not annoyed by Fu Heihui's behavior behind his back, he turned around slowly, and then walked towards the temple.

Linai looked at the two conjurers: "I guess this means that I want to take you to get the cursed object."

Fu Hei and Gou Juan, who had a hard time accepting the reality: "..."

The curse spirit takes the conjurer to find the cursed thing?

What is the difference between this and the hungry wolf giving the mutton to the hunter.

"I don't think he lied to you."

Rina was the first to feel relieved.

After so many years, the one-eyed old man would have killed her long ago.

If there was a conspiracy, it would be superfluous to save these two conjurers.

The three followed into the temple, and there were so many curse spirits outside the temple, but the temple was clean.

The only thing that was wrong was the tortoise curse spirit on the altar, holding its stomach as if it had just had a full meal.

Rina recognized the turtle, the one the one-eyed old man was sitting under.

And the super-level curse spirit took out a box directly from behind the statue of the native god enshrined in the temple.

Slowly put it in front of the three of them, "This is it."

Fu Heihui opened it, and Linai saw that it turned out to be a finger.The fingernails are long and look like dead branches, and when you look closely, there is a small face crying.

Anyone with spell power present could see that this finger was shrouded in an ominous aura.

What exactly is this?

Lena didn't ask.The remaining spell spirits were cleaned up, and the fingers were taken away by two young conjurers.

The "tent" was taken down, and the shrine was once again shrouded in silence.

"Little girl, you can go to sleep, I'm exhausted tonight." The one-eyed old man jumped onto the altar and sat cross-legged.

? !

Rina suddenly remembered that there was still something waiting for her to do in that time and space.

As for what happened tonight, we can only talk about it in the daytime.

She walked back faster than when she came.

Back in my room, the clock was already close to 4 o'clock.

The full moon is already hanging in the sky, and there are signs of leaving at any time.

Rina got into bed and closed her eyes again.

When she opened her eyes again, her feet were in the air, and pain spread all over her body.

Su Nuo on both sides tugged at the lapel of her kimono, her four eyes burning with anger.

"I hate being teased by ants. I will ask for the last time, where did that woman's soul go?"
