I, Seimei, can't be an audiophile

When Xia Youjie was distracted, the two who were fighting had already separated.

The ground where they fought before is already full of uneven marks, like a typhoon passing through.

But even so, both of them were calm and didn't even break a sweat. It was obvious that they were only fighting roughly, knowing each other's strength, and neither of them used decisive fatal attacks.

But even so, the man in black had been injured once before, and in comparison, Master Seimei, who only had a strand of hair cut off, was clearly the winner.

"With such talent, why don't you use a sword!"

The man in black said angrily, God is so unfair, he always gives talents to those who don't need them!

"Do you think that I have reached the level I am today only because of my talent?"

Lord Qingming restrained his smile, he hated the theory of bloodlines and talent the most, so what did he take all his hard work for?

Seimei-sama is not good at calendars.In him, the concepts of cause and effect and time are often confused.How much time and effort he spent to catch up with and even surpass his peers!

He is not good at temperament, which can be said to be his biggest weakness, but through the understanding and learning of rhythm, he has realized the essence of spells, martial arts, and even the world.

All knowledge has its meaning.The direction of his efforts may seem wrong to others, but he has no regrets, and everything he has done now is the reward after giving.

"I don't like fighting, but I have someone to protect. I am not good at rhythm, but I have never stopped learning. I use all the knowledge I have learned, whether it is rhythm or arithmetic, in battle, so that I can finally Sustaining the life I now crave."

Saying that, Lord Seimei took out a handkerchief to wipe away the blood that had already dried up on his hands.

"Don't insult other people's hard work and dedication, even if the initial goal is different from yours, the person standing in front of you in the end, the 'talent' that seems to make you envious, never fell from the sky without any hard work."

The man on the opposite side was speechless, not knowing how he felt under the mask.

Xia Youjie was touched.

He admitted that he had always been jealous of Gojo Satoru.

That kind of jealousy was not obvious before, until that mission—the same mission failed, and the object of protection died, Gojo Satoru actually awakened the reverse spell and became a stronger existence!

Gojo Satoru, who was advancing by leaps and bounds at that time, began to bring great pressure to him.

He knew Gojo Satoru's character, that guy definitely didn't think about avenging anyone, he was just pure - simply becoming stronger, that's all.

On the contrary, the self who wanted to become stronger could not surpass his own boundaries no matter how hard he tried, and only the weak one was left where he was. This was the most painful fact for Xia Youjie.

——Why, God always gives talents to those who don’t need them?

The question of the man in black actually occurred to Xia Youjie before.He is eager to gain strength. If he has the strength of Wutiao Wu's innate bloodline, then he will definitely be able to change something. At the very least, he will no longer just watch his companions die one by one, sacrifice for inexplicable reasons, and get nothing in return.

But today, someone finally answered his question.

It has nothing to do with talent, no one's power is obtained out of thin air, falling from the sky.

Maybe Gojo Satoru is just motivated by a competitive heart, maybe Gojo Satoru is just very curious about spells, even if the motivation that drives him to learn is not guardianship, being able to use Liuyan flexibly is definitely not due to talent.He has devoted his time and effort to thinking and learning, and becoming the strongest is only the reward he gets after his dedication.

——In the end, is my jealousy just an unsightly moan of the weak?

Xia Youjie thought sadly, he finally noticed that the biggest gap between himself and Wujo Wu might not be in spells or mind, but in heart.

A defeat made Gojo Goku more frustrated and courageous, but it made him lose confidence.His defeat was a defeat of the soul, not related to talent.

"What are you doing?"

Nagumo Mitsuhiko walked in, looked at the mess in front of him, and looked at Seimei-sama in the venue with unkind eyes.Then he turned his gaze to the other person, keenly noticing that the other person had been injured.

"Brother, you—"

"Don't worry about my business!"

Ming Yan, who was wearing a mask, answered in a harsh tone, as if he hated his brother very much.

Mitsuhiko fell silent for a while sadly, and said again: "Choushi's sacrifice is about to begin, please change your clothes, my lord."

Ming Yan clicked his tongue, and finally said nothing, turned around and walked to the inner side of the temple.

Xia Youjie remembered the time in a daze, only then did he realize that it was already dark, and several hours had passed in a blink of an eye.

—Wait for me, didn't you say it's against the rules to be outside at night?Why is that person okay!

Xia Youjie frowned and looked outside the courtyard, Hui Yuanxiong had already stood up and waved: "Professor Li! This way!"

Master Qingming came in, nodded to them, spread his fan to cover his mouth, and told them in a low voice not to eat until the sacrifice began.

Xia Youjie and Qihai Jianren immediately looked at Hui Yuanxiong, and the Hui Yuan boy pointed at himself in confusion: "Why do you all look at me?"

Xia Youjie: "Because you look like you accidentally forgot and ate something."

Jianren Qihai: "Be vigilant, don't eat anything, don't drink water, unless you want to die!"

Hui Yuanxiong was wronged, he felt that his peers and seniors didn't trust him, is he so stupid, he still eats when others say no?Unless he accidentally forgets... Well, he will pay attention and remember it.

Xia Youjie took the opportunity to raise his own doubts, why can Lord Qingming violate some rules?

Of course he doesn't want to try it himself, that's too stupid, how many people just think that others can do as well as me, and then try themselves to death.He wouldn't make such a stupid mistake.

"It's just a coincidence. I'm afraid I can't go out now." Master Qingming explained, "The sacrifice of Choushi is related to ghost generals, and the deity enshrined in the shrine is a sword. I speculate that it is very likely that the sacrifice of Choushi has something to do with the sword. ritual steps, such as Kagura dance."

Kagura dance is a piece of music offered to the gods in conjunction with classical music and music, and it is usually accompanied by dance.

It's not the kind of dance you imagine, but more primitive, the kind of dance that imitates ancient combat moves.The movement is faster, and it can also be used as swordsmanship or martial arts.

Xia Youjie understood Master Qingming's meaning: "I said, if you can't go outside, how should you hold the Choushi Sacrifice? The rules should be for everyone, including the villagers.

It turned out that the people who prepared to sacrifice at the ugly time, as well as the activities carried out during the sacrifice, were regarded as part of the sacrifice and were not affected by the rules. "

Just like the competition just now, if it is also regarded as the pre-sequence preparation or sacrifice process of the Choushi Priest, and the two sides in the battle are only "dancing" to please the gods, then naturally they will not be punished.

Xia Youjie thought for a while, and felt that there was still too much uncertainty. Professor Li's method could not be used as a reference. He was able to succeed because the person he was fighting against was the priest of the shrine. method they cannot imitate.

Looking at the people's busy preparations, Xia Youjie thought about whether they would be judged as assisting the sacrifice if they participated in the preparations?

Wouldn't it be a violation of the rules to come back until the ritual started?But he just thought about it and didn't try it.

His purpose is to protect the two juniors to leave safely, not to crack the secret here.The young conjurer warned himself again not to bring his apprentices to die together.

Now he misses Wujo Wu a little bit, if Wujo is there, the one who died must be Wujo.

Ah, maybe he violated the rules and got attacked at the beginning, and it might not be necessary to fight against the boss of the final level after that. Wu seems to be the same as Haibara, not very good at fighting against rule-type conjurers, right?No, not necessarily, Wu's mind is very flexible, maybe brain warfare will be beneficial to him.

To say that Gojo Satoru's only weakness is his bad temper, which is his character.

It's much better now than it used to be, but it's still always nerve-wracking.He doesn't pay attention to rules and etiquette, likes to cause trouble for others, from appearance to character, he is completely out of the style of the island people, this is Wujo enlightenment.

Choushi - the second hour of the twelve hours, from one to three in the morning, is also known as the time when the rooster crows, also known as the barren chicken.

Generally, it is the best time to invite ghosts, so in ancient times, cursing and cursing were often performed at this time.Considering that ghost generals are dead people, it is not surprising that the priests were ugly.

More and more people came to the shrine to participate in the Uchishi sacrifice, and many people stood under the promenade outside the shrine for people to rest, waiting for the sacrifice to begin.

Xia Youjie frowned, could it be considered 'indoor' under the long corridor?Why it is stipulated that they cannot appear outdoors at night? He thinks that it may not have much to do with the curfew, but for some other reason, otherwise the sacrifice would not be at an ugly time.

"Senior Xia You, it seems that all the people who came to participate in the Choushi Sacrifice are young people."

Qihai Jianren whispered, Xia You also noticed this problem, remembering that they suspected that many "resurrected people" were not pure living people at the beginning, the situation in front of them was not good.

Before anything happened, there was a group of people who didn't know whether they were living or dead people filled the corridor, which was equivalent to surrounding them in the temple, and they couldn't escape if something happened.

"Calm down, don't break the rules no matter what."

Xia Youjie reminded the two companions in a low voice.

Hui Yuanxiong was thinking about a more frightening question: "But, Senior Xia You, what if there is a fight for some reason and the roof is overturned? Does this count as indoor or outdoor?"

Xia Youjie: "Try not to do this. If it is unavoidable, try to stay in a covered place."

Since the people in the promenade are not counted as 'outdoor', is it considered 'indoor' if there is a building covering the top of the head?Xia Youjie wasn't sure.

Qihai sighed: "Huihara, if you overturn the roof of the shrine, it is obviously disrespectful to the gods, isn't it still a violation of the rules?"

Hui Yuanxiong: "Ah, Nanami is right, really! Hahaha, I was too careless."

Xia Youjie: He wouldn't say that he didn't expect just now that a reliable senior should of course pretend to be sophisticated, pretending to know everything!
