When the first rays of sunlight hit her face in the morning, Xia You slowly opened her eyes and yawned.

There was no one around her, only the remaining faint breath told her that Ibaraki was here last night, and it was not a hallucination.

Thinking of the tense and exciting scene last night, Xia You sighed deeply, and after carefully purifying all the traces of evil spirit left in the room, she washed and dressed and went out.

He got up earlier than her, and after a night, he was no longer as tired as when he saw him last night. After Xia You had a hasty breakfast, he was already sitting in the courtyard waiting for her.

The morning class on the third day was Spirit Words and Differentiation of Various Herbs.

The so-called spirit of speech is the power of language, using language to control other objects or creatures.

Shinto believes that the fifty syllables contain divine power. If you combine the words correctly, you can exert supernatural power. If you combine them incorrectly, you may have evil intentions with evil consequences.

This is a magic spell often used by onmyojis and witches. They can achieve their goals only through the power of words, but ordinary people without spiritual power cannot do it.Therefore, they put the power of language into things such as spells, rosary beads, and evil spirits, and use this as a medium to allow ordinary people without spiritual power to indirectly use the power of language.

The power of spells and rosary beads is generally linked to the maker, just like the spells drawn by Xia You are far inferior to Huang Hua's.

But generally speaking, compared to the power placed in dead things, the deity's speech power is more powerful.

"If you are proficient in the art of speaking spirit, it will be much easier to fight monsters like Qiao Ji."

Huang has the right to know and understand in detail every task Xia You completes in the office. In addition to Jinjiang Shrine regularly sending him a performance report every month, Xia You will also describe to him the tasks performed before during the learning process. Details in the entrusted task.

Theory must always be combined with actual combat in order to increase strength as quickly as possible.

Huang will carefully find out all kinds of details and loopholes from her actions, and teach her how to solve things more easily, safely and with less effort.

"If you are strong enough, you can catch Qiao Ji without using a spell, and use the power of words to trap her immediately, let alone worry about her running away."

Xia You took notes seriously, a trace of frustration flashed in her eyes.

The previous assignment was done by her without Guan San's selection, and the difficulty of the task was higher than her level at that time. Afterwards, Guan San lectured her severely.

Guan San has always hoped that Xia You can grow up early, and then complete more and more difficult commissions, so that both parties can get more money and rewards.

He is greedy for money, but he has never been willing to let Xia You get in touch with those tricky troubles. Fighting monsters is no joke, and he doesn't know why he will die if he is not careful.

Even Ebisu was forcibly killed and replaced by Gao Tianyuan by a hidden force a year ago?Even Bishamonten, the strongest warrior, was almost forced to replace him because of the betrayal of his divine weapon. Guan San didn't want Xia You to make any fools.

When a god dies, it can be replaced by a new life. When Xia You is gone, he is really gone.

"I have signed a labor contract for more than eight months, and I have been solving trivial matters all the time. When I go back, I will try to accept more difficult commissions to train myself to break through the upper limit."

Huang nodded, with some satisfaction in his eyes, "Indeed, the fastest progress can be made in actual combat."

"However, I did my best to give you so many things, and my original intention was not to let you earn more faith and money for me in Jinjiang Shrine." After speaking, his voice changed, and his face was full of seriousness.

"I just hope that you have enough self-protection ability, no matter in this world or that world."

"Because I can't be by your side forever, you have a long way to go in the future." Huang looked at her quietly, lowered his eyes and reached out to pour himself a cup of tea.

He has a dream that can predict the future, but he rarely uses that power actively, because the influence of subjective emotions will cause mistakes in judgment, and the suffering caused by the consequences has already been experienced many years ago.

Therefore, since he was sacrificed in the sea, he never took the initiative to use anyone around him as the protagonist to predict the future.

Huang is very clear that if he tries to predict dreams with selfishness, the results are often wrong.Most of the time, he just let nature take its course and do whatever he wants, waiting for the hidden dream to come to him.

And on the night after talking with Xia Youye, he involuntarily foresaw a future dream with her as the main character.

Everything will actually happen.

Huang can't disclose these information to affect her future direction and development, so she can only follow the trend and make her future path as easy as possible.

In the beginning, he only planned to teach Xia You to the middle level, which was enough to deal with most situations in her world.But now that she is unclear about the monsters in this world, he has no choice but to force Xia You to move forward on the road of cultivation.

What's more, there are things that will happen in the future in that dream.

This will be harder and harder than before, but Huang hopes that no matter where Xia You is, she will be strong enough to face danger when she is alone.

"As for the labor contract at the Jinjiang Shrine, you don't have to worry about it. I'm just using their hands to train you. The guys in that shrine take advantage of their words. If any of their decisions affect your normal life, Remember to tell me that I can revoke the contract at any time."

When he pushed Xia You's soul to Fujiwara Toko, his original intention was to hope that she would live happily and worry-free in that world.

The guy from Jinjiang Shrine said he was willing to take the initiative to take care of Xia You on his behalf. Huang didn't understand what it meant at the time, but later he realized that the other party had taken a fancy to Xia You's strength and wanted to extract some value from her that would be beneficial to him.

After all, Xia You's power comes from him. With such a powerful power, it would be a pity if she lived her previous life with only a half-knowledge and ignorance.

The office of this shrine is originally an intermediary with the goal of profit, but it's not enough to be unscrupulous for profit, so Huang didn't bother to care about it.

Xia You looked at him and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, showing a big smile, feeling warm in her heart.

After the teaching of Spiritual Words, Huang taught her to identify several different herbs.

"The herbs you picked last time didn't have any problems, have they been dried in the yard these two days?" Huang pointed to the shriveled herbs in the sun in the distance, "When you left at noon, take them together Just take it away and put it at Nadeko's house."

"I still have a list here for your next task. You don't need to show it to me after picking it. Just let Nadeshiko have a look. She also has a superb understanding of herbs."

"I already told her about this matter yesterday, and she will let me take care of you in this regard in the future."

"Okay." Xia You nodded readily, and then asked curiously, "It's just, why did you ask me to pick so many herbs?"

"These medicinal herbs have the function of nourishing the body. After being boiled into potions, they can even regulate the violent or disordered spiritual power in the body. Whether it is an onmyoji or a witch, they often brew all kinds of potions to assist in their practice."

"Nadeko is an expert in this area, and she will be responsible for teaching you how to make it in the future." Huang didn't know what to think of, and smiled lightly, "You will use it sooner or later."

"So it's the health care products of the Onmyojis." Xia You nodded with a half understanding.

Huang Qian smiled, but did not correct Xia You's misguided thoughts.

This is not a health product, but used by onmyojis to treat diseases.

If something like spiritual power is not carefully sorted out and guided, it will cause irreversible damage to the human body if it is too strong.Onmyojis may also cause spiritual disorder and riots due to improper use of power during battle, and they need to take symptomatic medicine for a long time to relieve physical pain.

Xia Youtian's score is higher than Nadeko's. Not only is he a fast learner, but he also has a strong ability to control spiritual power. Under his guidance, it is very difficult for this to happen.

But others may not.

After all, there are so many accidents in this world, who said that spiritual power can be disordered only when the battle is careless?

In short, Xia You will have to run around looking for these things sooner or later. Why don't he help her a little first without affecting the future direction, so that she can relax in the future.

*****

Xia You bid farewell to Huang, and walked towards the residence of Nadeshiko and Yuzao with herbs and notes.The place where they live is on the south side of a mountain called Mizusawa Village on the outskirts of Kyoto.

In the past half month, her strength has improved again, and the distance that the teleportation formation can reach has been shortened a lot.

In fact, Ara had taught her how to subdue her shikigami with paper-folded figurines, which was what she did when she sent youkai to sneak into the Mori office to investigate the case.This method can also be used on the road, as long as Xia You casually catches an honest little monster with low IQ, he can be enslaved to become a mount and bring her back to the vicinity of Mizusawa Town.

But she wanted to exercise her short-distance teleportation ability, so she didn't slack off on the way back.Although it took a little longer, luckily this time, no strange monsters abducted her.

This was when Xia You was standing in front of Yuzaoqian's house, she was instantly stunned.

"What... what's going on here? Did you set fire to the mountain?"

The seven or eight trees that were destroyed around them were either cut off at the middle and fell crookedly in the grass, or they were scorched black by something.

The mountain path that used to be full of mountain flowers is now as messy as the battlefield after the World War.

Yu Zaoqian was repairing the affected fence outside the courtyard, and heaved a long sigh, "It's not all because of your good father."

The fence that he had just repaired not long after he suffered so much, what kind of enmity is it?

Xia You twitched the corner of her mouth, "That guy Xingxiong... is he alright?"

Even if she hadn't witnessed Huang's attack with her own eyes, she could still imagine the scene just by looking at the mess.

"Of course my life is still alive, but it has been carried back by the monsters of Dajiangshan. At least half a month should not come to harass you."

"Hmph." Ibaraki sneered, and came out of the courtyard after sensing Xia You's smell, obviously already waiting here one step ahead of her.

More than half a month?

He deliberately went back to Dajiang Mountain in the dark this morning, and made a cruel make-up attack on that half-dead idiot. Now there will be a month for Xingxiong Boy to stop getting up and jumping around alive and well.

If he hadn't been thinking about the various friendships he had fought side by side for so many years, he would have interrupted the other party's ghost horns for the stupid things he did to that fool.

"Since we're here, let's go back quickly."

Jiu Tun left Dajiangshan and didn't know when he would come back, and Ibaraki didn't have anything to miss in this world for a while, so he took the initiative to urge Xia You to come.

"Wait...let me put the herbs away first."

This guy Ibaraki is really too arrogant, entering and exiting Tamamo's former residence is as nonchalant as his own, swaggering.No wonder the strange rumors about his Nadeshiko were spread wildly in the mountains and rivers before, how dark is Yu Zaoqian's face?

Speaking of it, it seems that the same is true for Jiu Tun and Hoshiguma. Although the three brothers have different personalities and different IQs, they still have the same arrogance and casualness that should be there.

Maybe this is the self-confidence that belongs to the king...

Who told others to be so arrogant because they have enough skills?

Xia You couldn't help but think of someone in another world. In his impression, that uncle seemed to spend every day with such confidence and high profile in the past twenty years.Everywhere is perfect, so that no one can ignore his existence.

Unlike Ibaraki, this person is not domineering, but very narcissistic.

There are still about four days until the school festival of Hyodi, so Atobe should be back in these two days, right?

Thinking about the messy things about the school festival in her mind, after Xia You said goodbye to Nadeko, she returned to the real world with the brown candy Ibaraki.

"I haven't slept in bed for several days, I really miss me!"

Back in the room, Xia You first put down her backpack and rolled around on her big soft bed, then got up comfortably, and excitedly walked downstairs to the kitchen.

"Eating sashimi sushi and natto rice every day, I can't take it anymore! Let's go, make delicious food tonight!"

Natsume Takashi hadn't come back yet, Madara, a widowed old cat, took Jianguo and Shufen in the living room, eating snacks and watching TV leisurely, and pursed his mouth when he saw Ibaraki.

"Here we go again."

Ibaraki had already changed into the clothes of this world, and heard that he sat on the sofa and changed the animation content on the TV, "Do you have any opinions, little fat cat."

"Bah, bah, you're the little fat cat!" Madara grinds his paws angrily, "When my main body turned into a human, I was much more handsome than you. Back then, Madara-sama was also an elegant and beautiful nobleman. Son..."

If it weren't for the decline in strength caused by being sealed for so many years, he would have turned into a handsome man and wandered around every day.

Xia You brought pudding and ice cream from the refrigerator and put them in front of Ibaraki. Hearing this, the corners of his mouth twitched, "Beautiful man... Are you sure you're not a middle-aged, bald, wretched uncle with a beer belly?"

"Meow! Is this how I look in your eyes?"

Sorry, really...

Ibaraki curled the corner of his mouth, "Xia You is right."

Madara suddenly frowned, and his two paws were grinding on the sofa, "I want to tell Guizhi, you two are ganging up on bullying me! We haven't seen each other for a few days, and you're starting to go after this guy!"

"Mr. Cat, please be gentle. Mom will have a headache if you scratch the sofa."

"I don't care, it's Shufen who did it, and it has nothing to do with me." Madara quickly withdrew her claws, and Shufen, who was innocently blamed, wagged her tail aside.

"Don't be complacent, Tazi and Zi Yue will be back soon, so don't even think about going in and out of the house at will." Looking at the complacency in Ibaraki's eyes, Madara couldn't help but snorted and poured cold water on him.

"That's right..." Xia You tugged on Ibaraki's short sleeves, and said seriously, "My parents are coming back from their trip soon, and I won't be at home often after school starts, so please don't go in and out of the closet at will, if you scare my mother That's bad."

Ibaraki said nonchalantly, "I can turn into a cat, and your mother won't notice anything unusual."

"...That won't work either. Mom and Dad are back, so you won't be able to sleep in the guest room at home." Xia You put the pudding and spoon back into his bowl, and said in a warm voice, "The Ice Emperor's school festival will be in four days. , school will start a week after the school festival, I will not go there during this busy time."

"It's okay, I'll just share a room with you."

Hearing this, Madara almost spit out.

The veins on Xia You's forehead twitched and twitched, and three words popped out through gritted teeth, "I can't..."

"Huang and I have already discussed, I will go to his place every Saturday afternoon, and then return to this world on Sunday afternoon. If there are no other important matters, I will not usually go there, etc. After I start school, you can obediently stay in that world with Shuten."

As for how to use an excuse to deal with the Fujiwara couple, Xia You has already figured out how to deal with it.

With the help of Natsume Takashi and Yiqi Rihe as cover, there is no big problem.She just needs to say that she doesn't want to go to extra-curricular cram school, and that she can study with Yiqi Rihe, who is also a sophomore in high school, every weekend. The reason for not coming back on Saturday night can also be said to be living in Yiqi Rihe's home.

As for the painting class... I can only withdraw it.

"Go back one day a week?" Ibaraki frowned and counted carefully. Doesn't that mean that he can only see her once every seven days?

"No." Thinking of this, Ibaraki immediately refused, "Didn't you stay with me every day these days? Why can't you do it after school starts?"

"Because I have to go to class, brother, I'll be a sophomore when school starts..." Xia You frowned with a headache as she held her head, and muttered softly, "Fortunately, Bingdi is not strict, if you don't make mistakes after stepping in , can basically go straight to university.”

Although the second year of high school was not as tense as the third year of high school, it was the time to hurry up and study hard. If it was Tian Chao, she might already be cold.

"Then you don't have classes on Saturdays and Sundays. Isn't it okay to go to another world after school on Fridays?" Ibaraki took a step back and continued to bargain.

Xia You twitched the corners of her mouth, "But I still have to do my homework."

The time on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning is the time freed up to do homework and handle commissions from the firm.

"It's the beginning of school again, and it's class again." Ibaraki put down the half-eaten pudding, and frowned tightly, "What is that school? Is it so important to you?"

Ibaraki couldn't help but want to crush this kind of thing that hindered him and Xia You with his paw.

"Of course it's very important, it's very important to every student." Xia You poked the pudding into pieces with a spoon, "If you're curious about what our school looks like, I'll take you there after the school festival in two days. "

She joined the cooking club, there will be a lot of delicious food that day, and there will be a big appetite competition. Every year, the school festival is a hot spot on campus.

Ibaraki was silent for a while, and then said after a while: "...Is it more important than me?"

"..."

"..."

Xia You twitched the corners of her mouth, and looked at Madara two by two, speechless for a moment.

"I understand." Ibaraki paused slightly, seeing her delay in replying, a trace of loneliness and dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.

He originally thought that Huang was the most troublesome guy, but he didn't expect that there were other things that were more important in Xia You's heart.

And for these things... She didn't even want to sleep with herself, and asked him to stay in that world obediently.
