[Onmyoji] Set a small goal first

The weather is sunny, the clouds are light and the wind is light, the snow mountain is covered with a layer of silver, and there is no way to go up when you get to the middle of the mountain.

For Gui Xuliu, who is afraid of heights, climbing a mountain can kill her, so in the end Ibaraki carried her up the mountain.

With the sound of hunting wind whizzing past his ears, Ibaraki ran up the rock wall with an inclination of more than 70° almost as if walking on the ground. Such an environment did not seem to pose any obstacles to him.

However, from his own point of view, he does not agree with this.

During the climb, Ibaraki couldn't bear it and shouted in a low voice: "Can't you relax your hands!"

Gui Xu, who tightened his arms on his back, trembled and answered, "I'm dead ... I'm going to fall ... My hand kept calling ... ah ah ah ah ah!!!!! !"

Ibaraki, who was attacked by sound waves in his ears and was about to be strangled at the same time, jumped up angrily and accelerated his speed, resulting in the completion of the distance that was originally a moment away in half.When he reached the peak and pulled people off his back, Ibaraki took a deep breath of the clear air at the top of the snow-capped mountain, and felt tired for a while, more tired than fighting a hundred fights.

They stayed at the peak for a long time, because Gui Xuliu was still suffering from the sequelae of rock climbing, and he couldn't exert all his strength.By the time she basically returned to normal, Ibaraki had already made a rough reconnaissance of the surrounding terrain.

There is an ice cave on the top of this peak, from which wisps of unclean black air radiate from time to time. Ibaraki stood at the entrance of the cave and looked inwards. He found that the ice cave was very deep, and it should be the place where the water unicorn was sealed. up.

Gui Xuliu tremblingly walked in beside Ibaraki, using the light power of his left eye to make all the scenes in his vision clearly visible.Her mental state has actually stabilized, but she is physically weak after being frightened. In order to divert her attention, she began to observe the cave.

The entire cave is in a downward trend, and the main body of the corridor is still rocks, but the further you go in, the more the rocks are covered with ice, and when you reach the center of the cave, the surroundings have completely turned into a world of ice crystals.

At the end of the corridor, the field of vision suddenly opened up, and accompanied by the sound of running water, she saw that the ice wall surrounded the center of the entire cave in an irregular circle, and the high top was sharpened like a crater, finally revealing a circular gap. The natural light from outside pours down from the top, making the ice surface clearer.

And a huge ice cube stood on a very thick ice layer in the middle, and what was frozen inside was the water unicorn they were looking for all the way.

This ice layer is surrounded by a circle of running water from the ice surface of the cave, and the water has been gurgling to seep out below the ice surface. The water is slightly dirty gray-black, leaking from the ice block that sealed the unicorn.

...This is probably the source of the pollution of the river.

Gui Xuliu frowned and looked at this place carefully. The ice cave here is obviously unnaturally formed. I think the Lord of Arakawa took great pains to manage Arakawa. Just sealing the water unicorn is a big project.

In Ibaraki's hand, a black-purple ghost balloon was condensed, flashing crackling lightning and ready to go, Gui Xuliu said in astonishment:

"What do you want! You don't want to blow up here, do you?"

Ibaraki took it for granted and proudly said: "Otherwise? I don't want to waste time in such a crappy place."

Gui Xu left Fu forehead, facing this kind of hard work is sometimes quite a headache.

If this place is directly blown up, the river below will probably be completely polluted by the water unicorns released, and the early efforts of the Lord of Arakawa will be in vain.What's more, the water unicorn is also a mythical beast after all, and it is hard to predict the outcome of a head-to-head hard fight after becoming berserk.

She stopped Ibaraki from such a simple and crude solution, sighed and said, "I intend to enter the unicorn's mental world, and understand what is polluting it, so as to prescribe the right medicine."

Ibaraki showed a troublesome look on his face, but he changed his impatient attitude instantly as if he suddenly remembered something, and said seriously:

"Then it depends on you."

Gui Xuliu was a little confused when this guy became so talkative, but she had no time to think about these details, so she began to focus on breaking through the water unicorn's mental protection.So she didn't realize that Ibaraki was originally standing on her left side, and then, this guy walked around to her right side quietly, as it should, very and extremely naturally...

The light penetrates into the heart of the water unicorn, soothes its manic state, and connects the heart.The light color of Gui Xuliu's left eye changed several times, she reached out and grabbed Ibaraki's left hand at a very fast speed, saying:

"Hold on to me, or you will be expelled by the Qilin."

She was so focused on controlling her power that she didn't even notice that Ibaraki was grinning contentedly when he held her hand back, as if everything was under his control...

In the next second, the scene changed suddenly.

After the initial darkness, thick mist gradually seeped out of the surroundings. Ibaraki couldn't see through the mist with his demonic power, but Gui Xuliu held his hand and moved forward firmly in a certain direction. OK.

After the previous dream experience in the Hanhejiang Mansion, Ibaraki has become accustomed to this ethereal feeling of entering the depths of other people's spirits, but he still faintly admires the ability of the girl around him, but it is different from the admiration for his best friend Shuten. There are always some unknown soft feelings in it.

Ibaraki is not a person who will pursue such inexplicable emotions, he often throws them away when he can't figure it out, and is never bound by worries.

It was the same this time, as he watched the thick fog gradually dissipate to reveal the appearance behind it, the excitement of wanting to have a fierce battle arose in his heart.

Behind the dense fog is the spiritual body of the unicorn. It presents a polluted dark tone, and is imprisoned by chains around it. It is always struggling, sometimes faded from the blackness, and sometimes it is counterattacked by the blackness again and again. It seems to be tortured ,painfully.

There are several small insects around it making hissing sounds. The color of these small insects maintains the original blue color of the water unicorn. They can't get close to the big unicorn. Maybe they will be polluted once they touch it. Well, these power bodies separated from the unicorn can only whine around the big unicorn, which is very miserable.

Ibaraki eagerly said, "Just knock down the big one, right?"

Gui Xuliu pulled him to stop this guy from acting impulsively, "Don't mess around, this is the world of Qilin's mind, it's hard to tell the truth from reality, if you break up Qilin's spiritual body, it won't be able to survive!"

Ibaraki snorted and said something troublesome.

Just as they spoke a few words back and forth, those little insects suddenly neighed together, turned around and disappeared in a swipe, leaving only the painful panting of the big unicorn echoing in the empty space.

what happened?

Gui Xuliu frowned, she could understand what those worms said——

【That woman is here!run! 】

That woman... who is it?

She stood with Ibaraki for a while, nothing special, she decided to follow the original plan to wash away Qilin's spiritual body with the power of light.

The only question is, for some reason, with such a powerful spiritual body of the beast, it can't resist that dark force, constantly struggling and being backlashed by the darkness, and it is always bitten by it and cannot escape.Strangely, the dark power she can see is very limited, and Qilin should have been able to break free long ago.

She recited the formula silently in her mouth, mobilizing the spiritual power in her whole body, and the gold in her left eye filled the pupil, and when it was projected outside, it became a golden ocean.

In this expanse of ocean, even brighter and more eye-catching light-colored flowers bloomed at the feet of Qilin.

The reachable distance of the unicorn gradually shortened, and just a second before touching the eternal flower, a slender and soft hand plucked the radiant and beautiful flower of light, and the flower quickly bloomed in her hand. It withered into a pile of black powder, which was scattered on the ground and disappeared.

The black air screamed and suddenly counterattacked, and Qilin let out a long cry of pain and fell heavily to the ground.

A woman walked leisurely in front of Qilin's huge body with graceful steps that only the Chinese in Kyoto can have.

That is a beautiful woman.

Ibaraki frowned. This woman had a very disgusting aura. When facing her beauty, he could only think of the poisonous flowers in the depths of the muck. She was beautiful but disgusting.

At this time, he turned his head slightly in surprise, because the little girl beside him took a step back with a pale face.

He had never seen Gui Xuliu so fearful, even in Kanhee Tojiro's dream, she still acted bravely, which made it difficult for him to stop his inexplicable and soft admiration.

The woman's melodious but lingering voice called softly: "Long time no see, Liuzi, my favorite daughter..."

Ibaraki stared at this woman who was obviously not human anymore as if he had seen a ghost, thinking about the possibility of punching this woman and this ghost place to ashes without being scolded by Gui Xuliu, he only heard Gui Xuliu softly said:

"Mother, you are still alive."

Her voice sounded very calm, only Ibaraki could hear the weakness and reluctance behind this calm.

He didn't like this kind of Gui Xuliu very much, which made his anger burn uncontrollably, but he couldn't find an outlet to vent it.

This anger was not aimed at Gui Xu, and he didn't know where it came from.The abnormal state made him very anxious, and he wished he could smash everything to pieces.

Mrs. Li stared at Gui Xuliu with exquisite eyebrows, and her blood-like red lips were slightly curved, like a painted skin.

"Riko, come and live with your mother, now I won't be as old and decrepit as people, and you can stay young with me forever..."

Gui Xuliu interrupted her sharply as if hearing something horrifying: "I don't want it!"

She violently exhaled the turbid air accumulated in her chest, feeling short of breath, and whispered a series of questions in a low voice.

"What's the matter with you? What happened to you, how did you become the ghost you are now!"

She couldn't control the fear in her heart since the appearance of Mrs. Li. This woman she thought would never appear again was actually standing in front of her vividly, which aroused all her memories of that dark period.

Unlike Kanhe Jiang Tojiro, Mrs. Li represents all her hatred and fear. She once said that this woman is the person she fears the most, not one of them.

As long as she simply stands there, Gui Xuliu can be pulled back to that helpless and sinful age in an instant.

"Hey! Wake up—"

There was a dull pain in the hand, and the thick voice exploded in the ear, and Gui Xuliu realized that his cheeks were already wet, and there were only a pair of thick golden violent eyes facing her, which burned his heart for a while. .

Gui Xuliu didn't know, but Ibaraki was actually the one who got burned.

He thought he was burned to the soul by the girl's sudden tears.

The feeling as if his heart was instantly frozen and the ice was instantly blasted by the fire was so intense that his breathing became heavier.

Mrs. Li chuckled, the power of darkness gradually polluted the entire space, and then, the memories of the past played back like a revolving lantern.

Gui Xuliu let out a muffled snort, her face was as pale as paper, she pursed her lips tightly to prevent herself from crying out.

This is not Mrs. Li's memory, but the memory she extracted after she was backlashed by Mrs. Li because of her connection to the spiritual world.Her mental protection was crumbling under Mrs. Li's interference, and she succeeded.

In the picture, the Hanhejiang mansion wrapped in resentment and death, the little girl who can't sleep in the middle of the night and can only hide in the box, the charming maid who is whipped, and even the abuse|killing|ravage|ravages she experienced when she was forced to empathize are all captured. Come out and make it public.

Mrs. Li's laughter seductively said, "Liuzi, come on, stay here..."

Gui Xuliu trembled with tears all over her face, the heat from Ibaraki's hand made her subconsciously want to break free, but a second before separation, Ibaraki grabbed her even harder, so hard that she felt the pain of her bones being squeezed.

Ibaraki's golden eyes were astonishingly bright, and the surface was stained with a layer of dark red luster, as if magma was everywhere.

Gritting his teeth and suppressing his voice, he said hoarsely to Gui Xu: "What do you want to do? Hmm?"

Hearing his voice, Gui Xuliu raised his head in panic, grabbed him tightly with tears on his face, and said sharply, "Don't look!"

Ibaraki froze, the little girl opened her big eyes that seemed to have been washed by water, and repeated sadly: "Don't look..."

Her voice was getting lower and lower, but she kept saying the same sentence.

"Don't look, please..."

Ibaraki suppressed to the extreme, and couldn't help but explode——

"It's better to die all naked, scumbags!"

He condensed the ghost energy and summoned the hell ghost hand and swung it heavily. This punch that gathered his monstrous anger and strength caused the whole space to shake like a collapse of Mount Tai. For a while, it seemed like mountains and rivers burst.Not to mention the flashback scenes, even the real spiritual world is about to be shattered.

Mrs. Li's beautiful face finally showed a trace of instinctive panic. The overwhelming force crushed all her dark abilities, and the skills she released backfired on her, pulling her memories out of her body uncontrollably.

It turned out that after Yuyihu's defeat, her body was devoured by the fleeing ghosts, but the unwilling resentment turned into a ghost and was taken away by Hei Qingming.The method Hei Qingming used to instigate Hongye to fall also applies to her. Mrs. Li devours countless humans and monsters for the nobility and beauty she believes. Whenever the power of darkness is out of balance, she will introduce it into the water unicorn. Just devour others.

This is the truth about the continuous pollution of the water unicorn.

Gui Xuliu stared blankly at the earth-shattering scene in front of him, his hands connected to his body were pulled to the opposite position by Ibaraki, and his eyes moved to Ibaraki's face with the rotation of his body

...Strange, this guy seems to be about to explode.

Ibaraki said violently: "Look clearly, how terrible is this kind of garbage that I can crush with one punch?"

Gui Xuliu felt that her thoughts had been pulled away, otherwise how could she have said so easily...

"I don't know, but I'm afraid."

she said dryly.

Gui Xuliu thought that she would see Ibaraki's deep affection for her disappointment, after all, this guy is already so angry, isn't he?People like Ibaraki Doji should hate timidity and shrinking the most.

But Ibaraki didn't.

Her words were like a stone slab, forcing Ibaraki's anger to be suppressed at this moment.

He is no longer irritable, but with an unprecedented smooth tone, talking about something as natural as eating and drinking——

"Then come with me and smash this thing that scares you to pieces!"

Ibaraki gazed at her, pampering her fear and encouraging her courage.

Gui Xuliu released the power of light as if bewitched, and with the ghost hand of hell exploding again, Mrs. Li screamed and was purified and torn apart by the two gathered forces.At the same time, Qilin suddenly shattered the chains that locked it, and the light power left by Guixu was strongly absorbed by it, and it faded away from the pollution of darkness almost instantly.

With a clear and long cry, Qilin completely got rid of the erosion of the power of darkness, and then the trapped spiritual world collapsed...

But what's worse is that at the same moment, Guixu's bright power was emptied for an instant, and Qilin's huge power demand dragged her soul out of her body!

Ibaraki was immediately expelled from this space——

The surrounding area is still frozen, but cracks appear in the thick ice that seals the unicorn. With the hissing of the unicorn, the ice cave begins to vibrate, and tiny ice crystals and snow water are pouring down from the cracked cave wall, as if the whole It was raining and snowing in the cave.

Ibaraki half-knelt on the ground and held Guixuliu's body with his left hand. The girl's soulless body was not decayed, but looked up at Ibaraki blankly, ignorant of the outside world.

The ice cave was about to collapse, and the sky was full of snow, rain and shattered ice, and Ibaraki blocked most of the falling ice with his back.After using the skill of summoning ghost hands twice in a row, he felt weak in strength.

The unicorn roared wildly, and the sound of running water breaking through the ice was endless.

Ibaraki let go of his strength and bent down, lowering his head until the center of his eyebrows touched the girl's forehead.

I heard that the dispersed souls will go to the underworld?

"What about the underworld. Wait, I'll get you back here."

I couldn't feel the girl's exhalation even at this distance where the breath could be heard, and Ibaraki's eyes flashed with anxiety.

In the ice cave, the unicorn and the falling ice both form the background, and only the figures of the two with their foreheads touching are inseparable.

The author has something to say:

There is glass slag in the sugar, I laughed hahahahaha~~~

Speaking of which, I have been thinking about this scene for a long time, and I feel that Temei 2333 is living in his own illusion, tsk tsk tsk...
