I, Seimei, can't be an audiophile

Xia Youjie took his apprentices to investigate around the village again. As an experienced magician, he knew that sometimes the information brought by others was not as accurate as his own observation.

After observing, he found a serious problem.

"There are many young adults in this village, but no children."

The common problem in villages in remote areas is that the population is seriously aging, and young and middle-aged people are all working outside the village, leaving only the elderly and children in the village.If all young and middle-aged people settle outside, then there will be no children in the future, and the village will gradually decline.

Even if the population is not lost, if there are too few people in an area, there will be continuous marriages between generations, and the kinship will be too close, which will eventually affect the gene pool, and it is easy to give birth to sick and weak children, which will still lead to population decline.

But there is a surprising situation in this village. There are many young and middle-aged people, and the elderly are pitifully few, let alone children.

Hui Yuanxiong was puzzled: "Is it because the children live in other places? By the way, isn't there Mengzi?"

Qihai Jianren said: "There is something wrong with that girl. It is really strange. I didn't notice this problem before."

Hui Yuanxiong: "Just inquire, look at me!"

Hui Yuanxiong, who is very social, casually asked someone, and when he inquired about the third person, he seemed to have learned some information, so he used this information to inquire again, and finally returned after inquiring around.

"The situation is very bad, Senior Xia You." Hui Yuanxiong whispered to the two conjurers.

"It is said that there is no death here."

— without death? !

The two were taken aback for a moment, and then remembered another flaw in this village - they didn't see the cemetery!Not even barren tombs and the like!

"Yes, according to the legends here, people who die naturally and 'pass away' will go directly to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. If this person has made outstanding contributions to the village, he is eligible to 'return to the world'.

Because you are going to return to the world, your body will naturally go to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, so there is no need for a funeral.When people die here, there will only be a farewell ceremony, and the corpse will disappear the next day after the farewell ceremony. "

Qihai Jianren swallowed: "It sounds like being eaten by a curse spirit. The people in the village gave a reason and an excuse for the body to disappear."

Xia Youjie keenly noticed the key point: "What are the specific conditions for the so-called 'return to the world', and what will the deceased look like after the 'return to the world'? Could it be the curse spirit playing tricks to fool ordinary people?"

Hui Yuanxiong also swallowed: "This is an extremely bad place, Senior Xia You, have you seen the young adults in the village? Most of them are people who have 'returned to the world'. It is said that after returning to the world, they will With his most vigorous posture, he is naturally a young and middle-aged man."

After a while of silence, a few people quietly looked around, the people closing the stalls, the people returning home jokingly, the people in the middle of the busy farming—are those walking around them really 'people'?

Hui Yuanxiong continued: "This is also the reason why the population will not be missing. 'Immortal' is very tempting to many people, even if it is extremely controlled speech, there will still be some legends outside.

Those who are dying of serious illness or dying are like grasping at straws, they will come here no matter what and live in the village. "

Xia Youjie speculated: "But after returning to the human world, they will not be able to leave here."

Hui Yuanxiong nodded: "As expected of Hai Yuan-senpai, that's right."

Xia Youjie was dripping with cold sweat: "Damn it, I should have let Wu come here no matter what."

Not to mention Qihai and Huiyuan, in the eyes of an experienced conjurer like him, he couldn't see any problems with the villagers.

If it is true rather than scare rumours, then their senses are being deluded.I'm afraid that their five senses have been dominated since they entered the barrier in the village.

Wujo Wu has the rare ability "six eyes", which can see through the essence of everything. With Wujo Wu, he must be able to understand the situation here from the very beginning.

But it's a pity that I don't know if it's a coincidence or what. Wujo Wu went abroad on a business trip. Even if he travels in space, there is a distance limit. He can't come here before returning to his country.

"Spend tonight's ugly sacrifice, and we will leave."

Xia Youjie made a judgment, maybe he could try to explore the secrets here if he was more adventurous, but he still had two oil bottles with him.

Now the balance in his heart has completely shifted - in order to save those ignorant monkeys, those ordinary people who persecute his kind, there is no need to sacrifice his companions.

He will guard and fight, but only for his companions.It is Xia Youjie's decision to judge by himself who is worthy of protection.

The two warlocks nodded. They were very convinced by the senior. Since the senior judged that they should retreat, it meant that the situation here was not something they could handle.

Resurrection from the dead—not to mention other people, even conjurers are fascinated by this kind of power. Once they have a desire, they will be controlled by others, and once controlled by others, it will be difficult to escape.

God knows what happened to those resurrected people. What if there are magicians among them, controlled by the mysterious power behind them?

Their enemy is not a curse or a curse master as they imagined, but a human or non-human group!

Several people felt uneasy, and after making some preparations, they were going to the shrine.

Note that the rules at the beginning mentioned that they cannot act outdoors at night, and they have to participate in the Ugly Time Ritual, so the best way is to arrive at the shrine and enter the room before dark, and no matter what happens during the Ugly Time Ritual Do not go outside.

As a result, they saw Professor Li, who had separated from them before, standing in the field outside the temple.

"Professor Li, are you also here to participate in the Choushi Sacrifice? Come with us to the temple, I think the guests should stay in the temple."

Xia Youjie clearly stated that it would be more reassuring for several people to act together.

"Go ahead, someone has an appointment with me."

Xia Youjie looked at the distance, thinking that he could confirm the situation outside through the open door in the temple, so he nodded and led the two students into the temple.

The man is still standing in the field waiting, I don't know who asked him out?

The sky was getting dark, and Xia Youjie's face was also getting gloomy. He couldn't help but look out the door, trying to remind the other party to come in before dark, but he saw someone coming out from the inside of the temple, past the three of them and heading out the door.

The man was dressed in black, with a 'ghost mask' mask on his face, and a long knife pinned to his waist.Walking past them brings a slight chill, as if the whole body is emitting cold air like a sharp knife.

--knife!

Xia Youjie looked at the knife, and felt startled by the mantra that was overflowing on it. He immediately turned his head to look at the divine body enshrined on the shrine, and found that the divine body could no longer feel any magical power.

——There are two knives, and the mantra can be transferred between the two knives?He also said that the one in that person's hand is the divine body!

The sky was dim, and the sun had already set, but the refraction of the afterglow was still barely visible.

Many people entered the shrine to start activities, some were preparing tables and chairs, and some were packing up their belongings, obviously preparing for the sacrifice of Choushi.They ignore the people standing in the yard and follow those who come towards him as if they don't exist.

The masked man stood in front of Master Seimei: "You are waiting for me."

Master Qingming smiled: "Exactly."

The man said: "I wanted to challenge you in the daytime, but you said that your ambition is not here."

Master Qingming said: "I don't have this ambition, but I understand you."

The man said, "You came here for me."

Master Qingming said: "Exactly."

Master Qingming laughed after speaking. Although the other party was wearing a mask, he knew that most of the other party was also smiling.

Suddenly, the killing intent swelled!The terrifying spread of spell power made Xia Youjie, who was far away in the temple, subconsciously take two steps back and take a defensive posture. Soon he realized that it was just the opponent's powerful killing intent and spell power, and the opponent's target was not Not myself, can't help sweat dripping.

Correspondingly, his opponent was still smiling all over his face, with a look of indifference, as if he could not perceive the change of the opponent's breath at all.

The man drew his knife!He was so fast that Xia Youjie didn't even see the opponent's movements clearly. He only saw that the knife had been pulled out of the scabbard, and the blade was cutting on the opponent's folding fan!

Yes, God knows where that Professor Li took out the fan, and used the body of the folding fan to resist the attack and move to the side, allowing the fatal blow to deflect and at the same time smoothly bring himself closer to the attacker, and raised his leg to take a step forward , the other hand took advantage of the opportunity to punch into the opponent's arms!

The man resisted the blow and let the heavy blow fall into his arms. The muffled sound of the physical body colliding and the creaking sound of bone breaking were creepy. He didn't even evade the attack, and instead held the knife in both hands and slashed backhand, the strength was unbelievable. Doubt that he will cut everything in the way!

Seimei-sama turned over with incredible agility and jumped, standing on the narrow back of the sword.

This scene makes people think of the legendary battle between Minamoto Yoshitsune and Musashibo Benkei. It is said that Benkei was tall and powerful, but he was defeated in the battle with Minamoto Yoshitsune because of Minamoto Yoshitsune's light body. Flexibility, ingenuity.

But obviously this 'Original Yoshitsune' is quite powerful. The palm he swung to attack just now spread out, and black and red blood dripped from it.

Apparently, the punch he hit the enemy before was not a 'punk' at all but a palm, and the sound of bones breaking was not caused by the impact of the fist, but the sound of him inserting his hand directly into the opponent's body, grabbing the ribs and pinching them to break. sound!

If he wanted to, the blow just now could even take out the enemy's bones alive!

The three conjurers shuddered. Even if they were warlocks, they couldn't believe how they could decipher the opponent's terrifying attack when they encountered such a ferocious enemy.

"Heh, heh heh..."

The wounded man laughed.

"You monster."

Seimei-sama also laughed.

"Each each other."

As if the agreed signal, the two started fighting again!The attack and defense this time was dazzling, and the three warlocks could no longer catch their movements!

Xia Youjie was suffocated at first, then stunned, he began to think about a profound question——

Who am I, where am I, what am I looking at?

what are they doingIt's obviously a spell set, why do I want to watch a man who claims to be a professor fighting a swordsman with bare hands?

It seems like they are the only ones who missed hundreds of episodes and went to the wrong set.
