[Onmyoji] I may have met a fake big tengu

Standing in front of the Phoenix Forest, feeling the heavy heat waves coming from the forest, the world in front of Xue Nu is like a sea of ​​flames in hell, she refuses in her heart, she doubts whether she will melt in it...

Hei Qingming, who knew she was afraid of the heat, even asked her to come to Fenghuang Forest with the big tengu. She definitely didn't believe it was not on purpose!Fortunately, she was still so moved just now, bah bah bah!What a waste of emotion!

"That... I..." After hesitating for a while, she called weakly.

"What?" The big tengu who was about to lift his foot to walk in paused, then turned his head and gave her an indifferent look.

Can I wait for you at the door?However, this sentence was silently swallowed when he saw the big tengu's eyes.

"...It's okay, I just think this place is very beautiful, hehe...hehe..." She laughed dryly.

"Boring. Let's go." Giving her a slightly contemptuous look, the big tengu ignored her and walked in by himself.

"..."

Covering her face, she finally had such an opportunity to have a good relationship with the big tengu, she couldn't say that sentence! !She was afraid that the big tengu would look at her with contempt in the future.

Why.She sighed in resignation, and hurriedly followed with shrugged shoulders.

The temperature in Phoenix Forest is actually not particularly high, nor is it unacceptable, but for Xuenv, who is particularly sensitive to heat, she prefers to be in cold places, such as Heiye Mountain, which is warm. Although it is not painful, it is very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable. This kind of discomfort is like walking in the sun wrapped in a down jacket in summer.

Entering the Phoenix Forest, the vegetation in the forest is much more lush than that in the Heiye Mountain, and there is a winding small stone road in the forest. , People seem to have gradually forgotten the existence of the Phoenix God, and the number of people coming here has decreased day by day. Even today, the trail is deserted, with a lot of weeds and moss growing around it. It seems that no one has set foot on it for a long time.

Yukino and Otengu walked along the small stone road all the way to the depths of the Phoenix Forest. They didn't meet any people or demons on the way, and after walking for about a quarter of an hour, they finally saw the shrine.

Looking at the dilapidated shrine from a distance, and then at the back of the big tengu who had been walking in front, Yukino suddenly remembered something. She didn't seem to know what their mission was!

"What is the task that Master Hei Qingming gave?" She tilted her head and asked.

"Weaken the barrier of the Phoenix Shrine from within, but you don't need to intervene, I can do it alone."

Weaken the enchantment of the Phoenix Shrine?She thought about it, and guessed it was probably what happened in the plot, she didn't quite understand, since the big tengu said that she could handle it by herself, she could only nod.

"Oh fine."

The shrine is right in front of you, and the shrine will soon appear in full after passing through the small stone road.The shrine looks a bit dilapidated, with a lot of green vines wrapped around the torii, and even the name of the plaque above is blurred.

Obviously, the closer you get to the shrine, the more stuffy the air around you will feel, but looking at the dilapidated shrine in front of you, for some reason, Xue Nu suddenly felt a sense of sadness in her heart.As one of the four patron saints of Heian-kyo, he cannot escape the fate of being gradually forgotten, and even the shrine is desolate to this point.She suddenly understood why Hei Qingming wanted to subvert this world. Most of the human beings in this world are ungrateful. How many gods were completely forgotten after trying their best to help them?Yimulian is also an example.

Sometimes this world is really cold and cold, which is why we are so disappointed, and want to subvert and reshape.

Yukino entered the torii with the big tengu, and then she suddenly found something wrong. According to the plot, she remembered that the eight hundred bhikuni seemed to be waiting here for Bai Qingming for decades, so what about her now?If she remembered correctly, as far as she knew, the latest eighteenth chapter plot at that time was that the eight hundred bhikkuni jumped backwards.She turned her head and looked around for a few times, but she didn't find any suspicious figure, which made her vigilant. Did she hide temporarily because she predicted that she and the big tengu would come here?

"It's here."

Ootengu didn't know her concerns and walked all the way to the center of the shrine. Yukino looked at it, but didn't dare to approach it, because the temperature here had risen to an unacceptable level for her.The floor pattern where the big tengu is located is very strange. It is a circle, and there are some spell-like patterns in the circle. If you look carefully, it looks a bit like an altar.

She looked at the altar in the center in silence for a few seconds, then looked up at the big tengu standing on it and entered the arena, she swallowed.

"Don't you think...it's hot?"

"Hot?" Ootengu looked over strangely, and saw Yukino still standing by the torii gate, her complexion seemed a little unwell, and a thin layer of water was obviously seeping from her fair forehead.He froze for a moment, looked down at the soles of his feet, and then understood.This shrine is built on the place where the phoenix sleeps, and this altar is the center of the enchantment of the phoenix shrine. Ice and fire are two objects that repel each other. When the fire element is used, the body will naturally repel it.

No wonder she became dawdling and quiet after entering Phoenix Forest.

"Leave it to me here," he said.

Xue Nu was stunned for a moment, and she glanced at Otengu with some hesitation, Otengu looked calm, and there was no expression of disgust on his face.She thought about it and nodded.

"it is good."

She saw that Ootengu had squatted down to study the mantra on the ground and did not respond to her. She raised her hand and touched the sweat on her forehead, turned and left the shrine without saying anything.

After leaving the shrine, Xuenv did not return to the entrance of the Phoenix Forest the same way, but walked around the side of the shrine, planning to go to the back of the shrine to check the situation. She did not dare to leave the shrine too far, so she could only choose a more moderate distance to wander around, after all There is also a missing eight hundred bhikkuni here, she is still not very relieved that Daitengu is alone.

She walked around the side of the shrine and kept looking around trying to find the hidden yaobai bhikkhuni, but she kept going around the front and came to the back of the shrine without seeing any figure. Xuenv couldn't help but wonder, where did the bhikkhuni bhikkhuni hide? , Did she remember wrongly?Just thinking about it, a figure flashed by.

"Who?!"

Because she had been vigilant all the time, at the moment that figure appeared, Xue Nu quickly reacted and chased after her. The visitor seemed to be startled by her sudden roar, and jumped out from behind the tree in a panic, and ran quickly.

"Want to run? Look at me!"

A snowball was quickly congealed in his hand, and he threw it towards the figure without saying a word, and then he could only "pop" the snowball hit his head, and then let out a scream.

"Ouch!"

Some shrill screams sounded, Xue Nu was stunned, and quickly caught up, only to see a little monster lying on the ground and touching its head, seeing her approaching, he quickly got up, and then shrank his whole body against the tree trunk Before, it looked particularly helpless.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me..." the little monster yelled, covering his head.

"Are you sneaking around behind a tree?" She asked coldly.

"I, I didn't hide behind the tree, I... I was there, and when I saw you, I was afraid... I ran away..."

"..."

Where did such a timid little monster come from? She thought she had caught some mysterious person.

She looked at the innocent and terrified little monster speechlessly, and silently covered her face in her heart.She waved her hand and was about to let it go, but then she suddenly stopped as if thinking of something.

"Do you know if there is a woman in the shrine?"

"Female, female?" The little monster secretly glanced at her with his head in his hands, seemed to think for a while, then nodded: "Okay, it seems... there are."

Sure enough, the Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni must have been hiding.Her heart suddenly tightened, she was a little worried about the big tengu.

Seeing the sudden distraction of Xue Nu, the little monster rolled its eyes twice, then turned around and fled quickly.

Xue Nu didn't care about it, she was wondering if she should go back and check the situation, she always felt a little uneasy.Thinking this way, she was about to turn around and leave, when her eyes suddenly passed behind the tree that the little monster was leaning against just now, and her figure suddenly stopped.

what is that?

Looking at the stone behind the big tree, Xue Nu hesitated for a while and leaned forward.There is a spherical stone about three meters away from the tree. The stone is not very big, with a diameter of about one meter. A thin branch is inserted around the stone, and a red rope is pulled to form a square shape. The shape surrounds the stone, and the stone is also painted with red spells on all sides, which looks a little subtle.

Xue Nu looked at the stone in front of her, she was a little puzzled, why is there such a thing outside the shrine?It looks like it's worshiping.

"Who's there?"

Some pleasant mature female voices suddenly came from behind, Xue Nu froze for a moment and hurriedly turned around, only to see a somewhat conspicuous orange figure slowly approaching here.

What the fuck, Phoenix Fire? ?

Xuenv was frightened. Although her current strength has increased, she may not necessarily lose to Phoenix Fire, but it seems that because of the natural mutual restraint between ice and fire, she still has an inexplicable fear of using fire.

"you……"

Fenghuanghuo had already approached her eyes, she looked at the seemingly cold girl in front of her, just said a word, and then saw her turn around and run away in a panic.

"Eh? Why are you running away? Am I so scary?"

Looking at the back of the girl in the distance, Fenghuanghuo was a little speechless.However, that little girl looked icy and cold, but there seemed to be a warm flame burning in her heart unexpectedly.It's just... She turned her head to look at the stone that had been sacrificed, and then looked at the direction the girl had just left, thoughtfully.

Xuenv ran away from Phoenix Fire. She felt that Phoenix Fire didn't seem to catch up, and she relaxed a lot. Then, thinking of Ootengu who was still in the shrine, she hurried towards the shrine without stopping.The closer you get to the shrine, the higher the temperature. I wonder if it is her illusion, she always feels that it is hotter than before?But she had no time to think about it, and rushed into the shrine, and she saw the figure of Ootengu standing in the middle of the altar at a glance.

"Big dog!"

She yelled at him, but the big tengu didn't seem to hear it, didn't make any movement or response, and still stood in the middle, motionless.

"Big Tengu? Answer me." She yelled again, but Big Tengu still ignored it.

isn't it? ?

She was shocked in her heart, she didn't know what happened, didn't she just leave for a while?

Regardless of how high the surrounding temperature was, Xue Nu rushed all the way into the altar in the middle to wake up the big tengu, but just stepped into the altar, a burst of dazzling light suddenly flashed, she was startled, lowered her head, and saw those moments The originally dull spell on the stone slab seemed to be activated, giving off a reddish reddish color, and then the surrounding temperature suddenly rose, and hot air hit.

Oops, trap?

Xue Nu quickly reacted and wanted to retreat, but when she turned around, she found that a fire more than one meter high surrounded them around the altar, and the flames were hot.

fire! !

Seeing the heat wave behind her, Xuenv's scalp was almost numb. She could feel the strong repulsion of her body instinctively. She felt that the surrounding air was so high that it seemed to melt her.

"Big dog."

She turned around and called the name of the big tengu again, and then turned around, and he found that the figure of the big tengu who had been standing there with a blank face had disappeared.

……

???

Fuck?no?What about people? ?

The author has something to say: I lost the internet at home today, it’s so hard... Win[-] can’t use hotspots on mobile phones, so I can only move out a super dilapidated notebook that has been useless for N years to update hotspots.

I don't know if I can catch up to the list, QAQ is miserable.

××××××××

Then I will briefly talk about the setting. Logically speaking, the four great beasts should be the Suzaku, and the four barriers that guard Heianjing should also be the Suzaku barrier, but I have studied the fortune-teller of Chapter 3 Phoenix Forest, Bai Qingming It is clear that the Phoenix Shrine is one of the four major barriers guarding Kyoto (probably meaning)
