It's Auntie Benmaru!

#71

Seven days passed in a flash.

Ever since Yuanhui learned about the day of action, Tianqing has been preparing every day between waking up and resting—including the practice of refining spiritual power, and then reading various related yin and yang spells stored in Daodaosi's home books.

The body memories Yimulian and Shiratori Chu gave her always emerged like inspiration during her solitary practice, which made her seven-day study almost without any stagnation.

On the contrary, she has recently been like a thriving sapling, her understanding of spells has grown and expanded like a branch, and her spiritual power and cultivation have firmly grasped the soil like the roots at the bottom.

On the sixth day, she was almost certain that Bai Niao Yangtian's move that defeated her would not be able to work on her for the third time.

She has crossed the difficult hurdle before, and now she is no longer afraid of the moves she knows and has seen of her grandfather. What she is afraid of is only the part of the Shiratori family that she does not know.

……

The night dew is getting darker.

The side hall where Tianqing lives alone in the Daosi family is secluded and elegant. At night, except for the gurgling sound of the pool in the courtyard, there is almost no other sound.

"...!"

A sense of weightlessness struck without warning, Tianqing opened her eyes from the bed, and before she could see where she was, she got up with a strong reaction. She raised her hand to touch her cheek, and her hand was wet. .

"Ha, ha, ha..."

She tried her best to suppress her messy breathing, but even if she could make no weak sound on her surface, her heart was still beating non-stop. Finally, she looked helplessly at the door that was shining with faint light, In the end, she opened the door wearing a haori.

A person sat quietly on the edge of the corridor.

The bright moon outside was quiet, even the stars in the sky blinked very slowly, and the air seemed to freeze.

She leaned her head against the colonnade, her eyes half-closed.

After an unknown amount of time, Onikiri's footsteps could be heard at the end of the corridor—she didn't answer her, until the loose samurai walked over in a loose bathrobe, bringing a faint scent of pine.

This is a habit that Onikiri has learned recently. After training every day, he always goes to the bathing place of Daidaiji's house to take a bath and change clothes - I don't know who persuaded him, probably because he is closer to Tianqing, so he cares more or less own image.

But he still can't find a place to make a bed and rest like Tianqing, and guarding outside her bedroom with his legs crossed at night is considered a rest for Onikiri.

Now when he returned to Tianqing's dormitory, seeing her sitting alone, he naturally walked to her side.

"……What's wrong?"

Onikiri's voice in the night mist seemed to have been added with a hazy and intimate feeling, Tianqing didn't look up at him, but Onikiri bent down—and then frowned when he saw half of Tianqing's face, His face sank: "Have you cried? Who made you cry?"

The murderous intent and dissatisfaction he exuded instantly was so sharp that even Tianqing could feel it, she just turned her head and smiled helplessly.

"No, I just had a dream."

"...What kind of nightmare?" Onikiri raised his eyebrows, Tianqing would occasionally have prophetic dreams - he knew this, her dreams could even connect to different places, so hearing her talking about dreams, Onikiri Everything will naturally ask: "Is it your ability?"

"No, it's just an ordinary nightmare." Tianqing shook her head, then turned her gaze back to look at the courtyard: "...the content is still nothing special, it's just that after waking up from the dream, I suddenly thought—they must have expected that I would go back Bar?"

"..."

"... how should I put it, I seem to... finally know how to be afraid."

Her voice was also very soft, reaching Guiqie's ears very fragilely at night, and the man after the bath looked at her, and suddenly raised his hand to wrap her in his arms.

It was an unexpected hug, her face was pressed against Onikiri's open chest, feeling his body temperature was extraordinarily hot.

His heartbeat was strong and powerful, and even though he didn't say anything, it made her feel a little more relaxed.

Tianqing put her arm around his waist: "Onikiri... what do you think?"

"What?" His deep voice came from above her head, and he seemed to have adjusted his sitting posture a little bit so that she could lean on it comfortably.

"It's just... Do you think my choice is superfluous? In fact, I don't have to drag you into danger again, but I just..."

"You will go back, so I didn't think about not going." Onikiri's tone was extraordinarily calm, and he added: "...But, if you really want to ask me what I think, I really want to go back."

Tianqing was surprised when she heard the words, raised her head from Onikiri's arms, and looked at him with some puzzlement: "Why? It seems to me that you... have been trying to stop me from doing this."

"I have seen your past, in Sanzuchuan." Onikiri also looked down at her with deep eyes.

"I know this...but what's wrong?"

"Ever since I saw your past, I am convinced that going back must be your destiny, so I am glad..."

"I have you to accompany me back."

Before Onikiri finished speaking, Tianqing had already finished speaking.

And Onikiri didn't respond, which meant tacitly.

Tianqing blinked her eyes, and finally, slowly leaned her head on Onikiri's chest again, and closed her eyes. It seemed that the noisy and restless mood just now had been calmed down at some point, and became as calm as this night.

Soon the sound of her even breathing came.

Onikiri, who had been hugging her all the time, thought about finding something to talk about, but seeing that she had already fallen asleep, he got up and carried her back to the bed.

Her room was still in the same state that she ran out in a hurry just now, Onikiri gently put her back on the mattress, and was about to tuck her in the quilt and leave when a cold hand suddenly grabbed his wrist .

Onikiri looked back at her half-closed sleepy eyes, and before she could speak, she felt a little more force on her wrist—then her voice came: "You sleep with me."

"...No." He frowned and refused - Onikiri had always refused to stay in her dormitory and sleep with her, Tianqing was used to this, but she would still act like a baby and let him stay occasionally.

Onikiri refused without exception.

"...But today, I'm really a little scared." Tianqing didn't let go of his wrist.

And Guiqie looked at her for a while, and finally sighed helplessly, then turned around and lay down next to her bed.

After the rustling sound, Onikiri's handsome face was very close to her.

Tianqing looked at Onikiri who was at her level with some surprises, his eyes did not blame, and even looked like usual indifference.

But she saw the specialness between them from all the actions of Onikiri.

She asked curiously: "Do you need a quilt? Shall I give you some pillows?"

"...No, that's all."

"Is it really not necessary? You can get under my bed..."

"This is already my limit."

He closed his eyes, frowned and sighed suddenly, then raised his hand and pressed down her hand pulling the quilt.Tianqing could only lie under the blanket and blinked at him, then carefully approached him...

Onikiri also stepped back a little while frowning: "Don't challenge my endurance."

"..." She tilted her head, although she couldn't understand the meaning of Onikiri's words, but it was rare for him to stay, so she didn't bother him anymore.After all, it was much better for Onikiri to lie down than to sit outside her bedroom.

So she no longer pushed him to come into the bed, but carefully stretched out her hand: "Is it okay to hold hands?"

This time Onikiri didn't refuse.

She naturally smiled and put her hand in his palm - before she could hold it, he had already held her hand in his palm.

She finally closed her eyes contentedly.

Have a good night.

……

...

After a dreamless night, I woke up before dawn.

This is the time they had agreed upon—just before sunrise, where they headed to Shiratori Mountain.

On this day, even the sleepy Tomoyo got dressed early and waited in the main hall, praying to her, Yuanhui, and Onikiri with the treasures passed down from the Daidaiji family.

"I wish you prosperous martial arts. Don't worry about everything. No matter how big the trouble is, our Daosi family will always be your backing."

Zhishi smiled gently, patted Tianqing and Yuanhui with both hands, and the group set off.

The sky was heavy and dark, and the mist before sunrise was exceptionally cold. Before Tianqing left the hall, she wanted to go back and add a coat, but it seemed that there was not enough time——

However, just when she was about to dismiss this idea, a haori that was still warm fell on her body. She looked down and saw the Minamoto family crest on the haori, and when she looked up, she saw Onikiri's calm face. Face.

"Put it on." His tone was domineering and undeniable.

She smiled helplessly, and put it on obediently without telling him what she was thinking in her heart.

His coat was very large and hung loosely on her body - but it happened that she was not a combatant, so it was not a big problem to wear it like this.

The carriage of the next group of three quickly arrived at the foot of the White Bird Mountain.

The sky was still the same heavy color, and the thick clouds seemed to be pressed down at any moment. Yuanhui and Tianqing who got off the carriage walked to the commanding heights that they had investigated before, and looked down, and there were already some people in low-key clothes waiting nearby. .

"They have already pasted the spells on the places you drew according to your instructions, and you can start at any time."

Yuanhui frowned and approached Tianqing to explain. She stood on the edge of the cliff and looked at the mountain like her weakness from a distance. Many past experiences seemed to be blown away in this cold morning.

She has only one thought now - to settle the matter as soon as possible so that she can go home.

Thinking of this, she raised her hand, and the blue spiritual power condensed into a shape in the palm of her right hand, turning into the shape of a bow and arrow.

This is the first time Yuanhui and Onikiri have seen Tianqing use this kind of move. Her awe-inspiring and calm appearance looks extraordinarily beautiful under the blue light. The cool wind poured into her sleeves and blew up her coat, messing with her hair. cut sight.

Notice that she has handcrafted a bow and arrow aimed somewhere.

"Then I'll start, I can't wait."

Her voice sounded ahead, and at the same time, the arrow had left the string, shooting directly from the edge of the cliff to the entrance of Shiratori Mountain—then one of the big ropes tied to the big tree broke, and at the same time, a huge knot The world appeared out of thin air!

It was an extraordinarily spectacular barrier, and there were five barriers in the barrier—these five barriers were presumably the five-layer barrier of the Shiratori family that Yuanhui had mentioned before, but the outer barrier It doesn't belong to Shiratori's family, but Tianqing asked the onmyojis to help prepare it in advance.

"...Is this the 'tent' you mentioned?" Yuan Hui was also shocked by the enchantment created by Tianqing, the gust of wind swept up from the direction of the mountain, and blew towards him——

He stared at the magnificent picture intently, and felt that it was difficult to express his surprise at Tianqing's ability.

"Not all of them, but this enchantment can change the position of the fifth-layer enchantment of the Shiratori family into a state visible to the naked eye as expected. It's really great."

Tianqing also answered seriously, the bow and arrow in her hand did not hang down, and she was still pointing forward—as if she was on guard for any abnormality in the enchantment.

"You bastard, it took only three days to design this enchantment..." Yuan Hui's tone was helpless.

He still clearly remembered that three days after he handed the letter to Tianqing for the first time, she took out a stack of talisman papers and asked him to distribute them, instructing the onmyoji to bury them in the designated place.

She said that this enchantment is used to deal with the first layer of enchantment - if you are lucky, you can reveal the location of the fifth layer of enchantment.

Everything she said has now come true.

Obviously he only gave her seven days, but she did it in three days.

The cold wind hovered around the barrier made by Tianqing, surrounding the entire mountain like a tornado, Tianqing didn't talk to Yuanhui again, but pointed his bow and arrows at the sky: "Then I will... start destroying it now."

With her right hand holding on to the spiritual arrow, she pulled back, her arms were shaking with such force.

Then, with a sound of "咻——", the bow and arrow left the string again, and then turned into a blue-white bird and rushed into the clouds—swift down from the sky after a while, and directly merged with the blue barrier, surrounded by only After a second of silence, many ripples appeared on the entire barrier surface!

More, more white bird-like spiritual arrows emerged from the inside of the barrier, and then pierced the surface of the first layer of barrier like rain. At first, many spiritual birds were bounced away by the first layer of barrier. But the rain of arrows continued to fall without stopping - within a quarter of an hour, a small hole was pierced in the beak of one of the "white birds".

First, there was the sound of cracking porcelain, then, the sound of many glass and porcelain shattering, and finally, the first barrier made a strange sound like countless silver bells being blown by the wind!

Clang——!

Just like that, the first barrier shattered in front of them!

"...Success!"

Yuanhui looked at the scene before him in disbelief, even the onmyoji and conjurers guarding the bottom of the White Bird Mountain gave out admiration without exception, but Tianqing's face did not relax at all, but at the same time let the ghost Cut yourself down.

The dark blue-haired warrior monster picked her up without saying a word. After the two fell from the sky, she walked into the tent she set up in front of everyone, and then carefully crossed the wreckage of the first layer of enchantment and stopped on the second layer. In front of the barrier.

"What are you going to do next?" Onikiri said suddenly before she raised her hand, calling her to stop.

After all, Tianqing never explained to him the principle of breaking the formation, she only said that she was sure.

But just now it was the first time that she used such a large piece of spiritual power to attack the first barrier, and Onikiri suddenly understood that the barrier had a lot to do with it—so instead of being amazed like ordinary people, he paid more attention to Tianqing's handling of this second barrier The second hurdle, what kind of "price" do you plan to pay?

"The enchantment on the second layer is estimated to attack the spirit of the person who contacts it, but in the same way, as long as the caster's spirit is stable enough, he can find the weakness of the enchantment and destroy it in one go..."

"Why do you know? That kid Genji said, except for the barriers on the first and fifth floors, no one knows about the barriers in the middle."

"...Because he showed me the handbook, I spent a day studying the attack patterns of the first Patriarch, studying his hobbies and psychology."

"Even this kind of thing..."

"Of course, if you want to turn Shiratori's house upside down, you must have this level of effort." She looked at the ghost and smiled mischievously, then quickly restrained the look on her face, took a deep breath and raised her head. Hand: "No matter what expression I show next, you have to believe me."

Onikiri seemed to want to say something, but Tianqing had already put her hand on it——

In an instant, there was only darkness left in the world.

There is no sound, no picture, and even the flow of air cannot be felt. The whole person seems to be unable to move in the dark swamp.

The five senses were extinguished, but at the same time, there seemed to be many messy pictures in her mind. Tianqing didn't get distracted to keep those messy pictures, but desperately recalled the memories her mother gave her in the past, and found out from them the memories she had learned. The method of refining spiritual power.

Open your eyes again, the core of the enchantment is in front of you!

She raised her hand to condense out a sharp awl-like weapon, and used her spiritual power to ruthlessly puncture the barrier core——

Clang——!

The second barrier also shattered in front of them!

This time, Tianqing's body fell back limply, and Onikiri reached out to support her, but was stopped by her backhand in cold sweat, and at the same time made a miniature round shield on the spot to protect her and Onikiri In it!

"what happened?"

Only then did Onikiri get close to her, but before Tianqing responded, Onikiri knew the answer—after the second layer of barriers shattered, Shiratori Mountain, which had only three layers of barriers left, suddenly appeared, which was enough to shock people. The dizzy earthquake, and at the same time the third layer of enchantment changed its shape in front of the two of them...

Then, just like the "tent" Tianqing made just now, she fired the bow and arrow made by spiritual power outward!

The dense rain of bows and arrows shot out instantly, and the onmyoji who had been guarding outside the barrier was startled, but before he raised his hand to create a protective spell, he discovered that the tent made by Tianqing before actually blocked all attacks down!

The sound of heated discussions resounded outside the barrier.

"That little girl... the enchantment made by that little girl actually blocked all the attacks!"

"No, look carefully, it's not blocking it at all..."

"Yes, that enchantment is to absorb all the offensive enchantment on the third layer, and then prepare to fight back!"

As soon as the onmyoji outside finished speaking, sure enough, strong lights appeared in a dozen or so places above the "tent", and then, a flying bird ten times bigger than the white bird that attacked the first layer of barrier rushed through the sea of ​​arrows aggressively. The attack is attacking the third layer of enchantment...

Clang——!

At first, there was a gap in the third barrier, and then it was also shattered!

Fragments of the enchantment fell from the sky, Tianqing also carefully removed the dome used to protect her and Onikiri, and then stood up with Onikiri's support.

Then step by step approach the fourth layer of enchantment.

This enchantment currently looks as calm as still water, but since the third layer of enchantment was destroyed, the appearance of the fourth layer of enchantment has become thick black, suddenly covering everything that was originally visible.

Tianqing wanted to raise her hand, but suddenly her head hurt.

She gasped, and Onikiri immediately raised her hand to hold the back of her hand: "Didn't you tell me that it's enough to destroy the third layer of barrier? You've consumed too much spiritual power, you shouldn't go any further. "

"Onikiri, the fourth layer of barrier is the most difficult." Tianqing frowned and replied, her face looked a little pale at the moment: "Although there may be people who can break the formation among the onmyojis outside, that's too Waste of time..."

"If you don't wantonly destroy the barrier before grandfather reacts, it will be inconvenient for everyone to launch a general attack."

She said that she wanted to raise her hand, but the pain in her head became more intense.

The pitch-black outer wall of the enchantment in front of him is naturally a problem that anyone who looks at it will want to shrink back.

Before Onikiri could think of how to stop Tianqing, two little snakes sprang out from her cuffs, one tightly strangled her wrist, and the other rushed forward and bit the barrier.

"Yaqi no Orochi?" Tianqing exclaimed.

"This is a gift from God to you. You don't need to pay for this favor—"

A pleasant and hoarse voice sounded from the minds of Tianqing and Onikiri, and the next second, the little snake biting the barrier seemed to have sucked away a lot of the darkness on the surface of the barrier as if it were poison, before falling to the ground and disappearing in ashes.

The black at the junction layer faded a little, Tianqing immediately lowered his head to check Yunwaijing, and saw that Yamata no Orochi was still in good condition, but the spiritual power for sensing had weakened a little, knowing that he just sent a clone to help, let go tone.

She raised the corners of her mouth helplessly and angrily, and flicked the surface of Yun Wai Jing again.

"...When on earth did you ask me to pay the price? What a duplicitous snake god."

Yun Wai Jing seemed to be burning a bit——

But Tianqing didn't spend any more time arguing with Yamata no Orochi, and covered the fourth barrier with her hand.

Everything is just like how she cracked the seal array of Yamata no Orochi. The unexpectedly two barrier layouts are quite similar. She uses the dream ability to fall into the depths of the barrier layer by layer, and in the abyss is similar to the "seal". The center of the "stone" was removed, and the fourth barrier also disintegrated.

There was a loud bang, followed by a rumbling earthquake.

The tent made by Tianqing, which had been supported for a long time, shattered at the same time as the fourth-layer barrier, and what finally appeared in front of them was the fifth-layer barrier that even high-level onmyojis could use their spiritual vision to see.

This enchantment has nothing to do with her and Onikiri, and the hundreds of magicians and onmyojis behind her will naturally destroy the content.

So Onikiri carried the tired Tenharu away, and at the same time, countless spiritual powers attacked the fifth-layer barrier in different postures. The picture was magnificent, and after a while, the fifth-layer barrier was finally destroyed.

In an instant, the sound of the earthquake was deafening, the thunder was rolling, and the golden lightning split the entire mountain into two.

Obviously it was almost dawn, but the sky became strangely darker at this time, as if a deeper night had suddenly ushered in.

At that moment, Tianqing suddenly remembered——

The function of the enchantment has always been to protect everything within the range of Shiratori Mountain, but at the same time, because some kind of evil thing they need to crusade originally resides in Shiratori's house, once all the enchantments are destroyed, the force that can make the infinite Those with abilities feel the uneasy evil, and it will come unabashedly!

The black mist swept towards their direction——

She frowned to bear the evil, and at the same time, an angry voice came from the front of Tianqing.

"Shiratori Tianqing, do you know what good deed you have done?"

"How dare you attack White Bird Mountain together with outsiders?!"

The voice that could make Tianqing's soul tremble appeared out of thin air, and in the next second a hole was torn in the space in front of her. Inside was the silent darkness, and the stern-faced Shiratori Yoten and the equally ferocious Kamo Chengxian came out of it. ——

Tianqing's face turned blue, and Onikiri reacted very quickly to protect her behind her, but this time, Onikiri didn't need to do anything, the demonic aura with even greater hatred and the spiritual pressure with killing intent had disappeared. From behind the clear sky, they attacked Shiratori and Yangtian!

"Bai Niao Yang Tian, ​​you still dare to speak wild words! Before you extend your minions to the innocent little girl, you have to explain to our Onmyoji Association what you have been plotting these days!?"

"More than [-] casualties, countless monsters who have gone mad because of Mt. Shiratori, and the balance of human beings destroyed by you... We will liquidate them one by one today!"

"And Kamo Chengxian, you are a crazy supporter of Kamo Xianlun, we have also investigated, you stole Kamo Xianlun's handwriting from the family before defecting, you want to copy his plan and surpass him, right? ?!"

"Kamo Chengxian, our conjurer society will make you pay for breaking the taboo!"

……

Everything was as promised, the onmyoji and magicians stepped forward to surround Shiratori Yoten and Kamo Chengken, Tianqing heaved a sigh of relief, and pulled Onikiri back from the focus, and then took advantage of While breathing, he took Onikiri's hand and acted like a baby carefully.

Onikiri was also aware of her nervousness and fear, seeing that the threats from Yoten Shiratori and Naruto Kamo disappeared for a short while, he put away his hostility and shook her hand back.

"Things are going well so far"—Tianqing wanted to say this to Onikiri, but before she could say anything, she suddenly felt a familiar aura from the Shiratori House that was not protected by the barrier, making her face full Looking back nervously.

Onikiri immediately asked her, "What's wrong?"

"I seem to feel it..." Her gaze kept searching inside the White Bird Mansion.

"What?" The ghost was puzzled.

"Just in that direction!"

Tianqing didn't hold Onikiri's hand and pointed in one direction, then took Onikiri's hand and ran in one direction.

She felt it—but what she felt wasn't the filth of spells or enchantments, just an extraordinarily warm feeling.

It's just that, before she touched that "warm breath", suddenly, the ground under her feet turned into darkness, and that warm feeling suddenly disappeared, replaced by an infinite ominous mantra, covering the earth and turning the entire city into darkness. Shiratori Mountain... devour it in one bite!
