Hello, I am a witch, not an evil god

The ancient books are placed on a bookshelf, and Shenli Linyue has probably read... the cover.

Some wrote about the history of the shrine, some about the changes in Inari, and some about weird and indescribable things.

Shenli Linyue used to think that these were all made up, but after discovering that she really had extraordinary power, she realized that those should be real records.

But knowing is knowing, whether you want to see it or not is another matter.

I'm not someone who likes to chew on ancient books. Wouldn't it be torture to ask her to study the books on the entire bookshelf thoroughly?

Shenli Linyue looked at the dust-covered books, ran her fingers across the rows of books, and finally locked on a book.

On the cover of that book, the words "Kamiliu" are written in divine patterns, and the subtitle reads "A Collection of Bow and Sword Skills" in small characters.

If she didn't know the Shenwen like the back of her hand, she might have given Shenli Linyue a headache just reading these words.

She suspected that her dizziness was caused by these broken words.

The girl took down the book "Shenliliu" and left the small room of the 'Keikokaku', and came under the cherry blossom tree where she often sat.

Now that the season has entered spring, the cherry blossom trees have begun to grow buds of cherry blossoms, and soon it will be time for the cherry blossoms to bloom.

Kazami Aoi went to school as usual today, and Her Majesty the Queen didn't know where she was going. The last time Shenli Linyue saw her was in the morning. She was holding her own fishing rod and claiming to go fishing, but she walked by the front door direction.

Shenli Linyue didn't care where she was going, since Inari is still the emperor for such a big person, if she can get lost, then it's her fault.

There is only one person in the shrine, and it happens to be clean.

Opening "Shenliliu", Shenli Linyue rummaged through it for a while, and found the chapter on swordsmanship.

There is a specialization in archery in the bow and arrow chapter. For the time being, there is no need to read it, because there is no good bow and arrow for her to use after reading it.

Besides, if an archer can't fight in close combat, isn't it a bit too embarrassing?

Kujo Sanae presented a famous sword called Raizan when she finished her thesis.

And that knife also has active skills...

Opening the chapter on swordsmanship, looking at the practice method described with divine patterns, the familiar feeling of dizziness hits my face.

This feeling of dizziness is more severe than reading books on ceremonies and history, which made Shenli Linyue feel sluggish and dazed for a moment.

"gross……"

The girl took out a notebook, suppressed her nausea, and began to copy the contents written on it into the notebook.

Since reading this book will make you feel dizzy, then I'll copy it down, isn't that all right?

After all, only these ancient books written with divine patterns will cause dizziness, other books will not.

I can also memorize it while copying it down, which is many times better than getting dizzy every time I read it!

Soon, Shenli Linyue copied down the first formula written above, and then decisively threw the ancient book aside.

She couldn't stand it anymore.

"Forget it, try to practice first."

I can't understand why this thing is written in such complicated characters. I remember the history of Inari, and the ancient characters don't use such things as kamimon.

It's outrageous, even if this kind of thing can make people have the power of a god, such as my own mother, it's not necessary...

Well, maybe this is necessary, because it will prevent most people from stealing.

Anyway, the style of Tenri Shrine and its security capabilities cannot guarantee that it will not be patronized by thieves. Just the wooden door and cheap metal locks, I am afraid that a novice thief can open it.

But seeing those divine scripts outlined like silver streaks, the thief probably thought it was some kind of magic book, and probably wouldn't touch it after seeing it...

Cough, let's get down to business.

Going through the first form above in "Shenliliu" in her mind, Shenli Linyue took out Lei Zhan and began to practice in the front yard of the shrine.

The first form is mainly defensive. When dancing swords, take precautions first.

Use the power of the secret key to pour into the sword, and then dance a thousand or eight hundred sword flowers around the body, forming a tight defense circle.

At the same time, there should be as few steps as possible when wielding a sword, saving steps and simplifying the most complicated, that is, just raising one hand can form countless sword blade defenses around the body.

It sounds mysterious, but it is actually very mysterious.

Shenli Linyue recalled it in her mind for a long time, and tried to wave it a few times, but she didn't understand the meaning.

After barely practicing once, she had to give up, go back to the table and pick up the notebook, ready to re-read the main points written on it.

But when she picked up the notebook, she froze.

Because she saw that the notes she wrote down above, and what she saw just now...

totally different!

It's as if it was Li Kui who wrote it, but it turned into Li Gui when he wrote it.

"No, I clearly translated word by word according to the book, so why is the meaning completely different?" Shenli Linyue carefully recalled her own records.

The girl didn't believe in evil, so she opened the ancient book, endured the discomfort caused by the ancient book, and began to compare word by word.

During the comparison, she found that the meaning was translated exactly as she thought, but if she didn’t read the ancient books, but only read the records in the notebook, she would find that the meaning was completely different when she looked at it, which could be called Schrödinger’s cat.

Frowning and studying for a while, Shenli Linyue discovered that it might be because the general ideas of the two languages ​​may contradict each other. The individual characters look the same, but the overall look is completely different.

Of course, it’s not just like that. When you turn off the estimate and read the contents of the notebook word by word, you will also find that the above records are completely different.

To put it simply, you know every word, but you don't understand it when you put them together.

The girl pondered for a long time, and finally she could only blame it on the secrecy measures taken by the shrine.

This "Kamili-ryu" is not simple to look at. The various swordsmanship moves in it are thousands of changes, which cannot be fully described by simple words like Inari.

In order to prevent these things from being taken by outsiders, the seniors of the shrine used strange and complicated text records such as divine patterns, and wrote secret techniques in the books.

"So, the reason why I feel dizzy when I read the text is because the person who wrote the book used the secret technique?"

Shenli Linyue felt like a waste who didn't know anything about her own family. No wonder she was in charge of such a big shrine but was so poor that she could only eat wild vegetables.

Jinshan was placed in front of him, but he thought it was a waste product and didn't even look at it, so he ran to pick up the scrap iron next to him.

But at the beginning, who knew that there really were such things as ghosts in this world!

These books still make me dizzy, and there is a strange smell of books.

If it wasn't for the fact that she didn't feel sick when reading outside, Shenli Linyue would have wondered if she was allergic to the smell of books.

After trying various methods to record the contents of "Shenliliu" in the notebook and failed, Shenli Linyue sighed, and took back the notebook unwillingly, continued to endure nausea, and slowly learned the Shenliliu swordsmanship.

This study lasts for about ten days.

The swordsmanship recorded in "Shenli Liu" is not so easy to learn, and Shenli Linyue is not in a hurry to learn it immediately. Her main goal now is to learn two moves, one attack and one defense, so that she will not be in danger when facing a crisis. Misfiring after firing a charged arrow.

While contacting, she also asked Kutiao Sanae and Gui Lisha from the Chinese Gui family to help her pay attention to the clues about the three materials of the Pofa arrow needle.

Everything must be prepared with both hands.

Swordsmanship needs to be practiced, and arrows and needles must also be mastered.

She has spent tens of thousands of dollars on the machine for forging arrow needles, and hired someone to assemble it, and put it in the backyard of the shrine. Now everything is ready and only owes Dongfeng.

After barely practicing the two moves of one attack and one defense, Kujo Sanae passed the news of a material——

"Uh, I asked Ms. Kugimiya Shizuko from the picket team. She said that she had a little impression of 'Prayer Gold'. She said that in a certain operation, they accidentally got the list of 'Prayer Gold' from the suspects. Gold', she said that the suspect gave this thing to the gatekeepers, in order to allow the gatekeepers to give priority to protecting their fleet."

"The gatekeeper?" Shenli Linyue was taken aback.

The name sounded familiar to her, and when she thought about it carefully, she immediately remembered that a girl named Jindai Chiyuki came to the shrine some time ago, and accidentally ate the dinner that Aoi Kazami made for her.

She claimed to be from the Gatekeeper organization, because... why did she come to the shrine?

Shenli Linyue couldn't remember clearly.

This is not important, what is important is that this 'gatekeeper' organization seems to be an organization related to shipping?

Seeing Linyue Kamisato's expression, Kujo Sanae explained: "The Gatekeeper is an eternally neutral third-party organization operating all over the world. Their mission and responsibility is to patrol the ocean and protect the safety of ships in the ocean. Inari is currently China's shipping depends on their protection to communicate with other countries in the outside world."

Inari country is an island country, surrounded by oceans, and there are thunderclouds and storms blocking it after a certain distance. It is really difficult to communicate with the world and make progress together.

I have to say that the shogunate still has a wise side, which is to allow civil organizations to grow and develop, such as the Secret Council, allowing them to develop powerful weapons and allowing them to form fleets.

Of course, it's not all laissez-faire. For example, their weapons cannot be sold to other forces in the country except the shogunate, especially the private army of the Chinese nobles.

However, there are not many restrictions on exports.

The reason why the Secret Council was able to develop was that it was able to pay casually to reward the encirclement and suppression of weird transcendental beings, and being able to freely sell weapons played a key role.

Without the income from selling arms, it would be impossible for the Secret Society to develop in Inari.

Compared with the secret councils that are often seen, this gatekeeper is very mysterious.

No matter where she was, Shenli Linyue had basically never seen any news about them, nor had they been mentioned on TV.

If it wasn't for the accident before, she wouldn't even know there was such a force.

It stands to reason that an organization as important as the protection of navigation should be known by everyone.

Shenli Linyue asked this doubt.

Kujo Sanae smiled and explained: "The reason why they are mysterious and no one knows is that they are so strong that all regimes in the world are afraid of them, even though they have made it clear that they will not participate in the affairs of all countries in the world. In disputes, and as long as you pay, you can enjoy their strong protection...Only sailing.

"The countries can still trust a little bit what they say, because they are afraid that they will suddenly support a certain country or a certain force one day. They tacitly hid their news."

"If they come out to promote themselves, can they stop it?"

"It can't be stopped, but they have their own rules, and they won't come out to promote themselves." Kujo Sanae's eyes were full of yearning, "It would be great if I could join the gatekeepers. It is said that even ordinary people like me in this organization You can also have extraordinary power, and start at the god level."

god level...

Shenli Linyue pouted.

Inari's god-level is just a picture, Shenli Linyue has never seen a few "god-level" superhumans or strange beasts that are really powerful.

Those who are powerful are all blamed on the gods.

"In other words, if you want to get the 'Prayer Gold', you should go to the gatekeeper?" Shenli Linyue asked.

"Well... they should have, but I don't know if they will let it out..."

"Try it, I seem to know someone from the Gatekeeper organization, but I don't have her contact information... Sanae-chan, do you have their contact information?"

"Yes, they have several fixed paging points, the nearest point is... Coral City, Binhai District, their contact method is..."

"Okay, got it, let's go!"

"Do you want me to go with you?"

"No, just in case, I'll go by myself."

It's not that Shenli Linyue didn't want to bring the 'encyclopedia', she was really frightened.

Kutiao Sanae is just an ordinary person. When facing the extraordinary, no matter how much protection there is, there will be times when he is negligent. When Shenli Linyue doesn't want her to help, he gets hurt again.

The first two days were lucky and there were no major problems, but who knows next time?

Chapter 221 Fools Make Money by Solving Weird Things

"Miss Linyue left again..."

Kazami Aoi stared at Xiao Hei Mi and Xiao Bai Mi in a daze.

"Did a lot of things happen recently? Miss Linyue didn't say a word..."

Rinzuki Kamisato has been going out so often recently that Aoi Kazami, who goes to school every day, has become the person who has been at the shrine for the longest time.

The same goes for the new assistant maid, Inanamiya Shiratori, who doesn't know what to do all day long. Sometimes she leaves with a fishing rod, and sometimes she leaves without taking anything. She doesn't know what to do.

Aoi Kazami, the new assistant shrine maiden, doesn't like it a bit.

Because she doesn't do anything other than sweep the floor and do some guarding, such as feeding pets, she has always been doing it.

In order to prevent Xiao Heimi and her pets from starving, she had to take Jiutiao Sanae's car back every afternoon after class, so as not to be unable to do anything when she came back late.

One thing is good, that is, because she often rides Kujo Sanae's car to go to school, she has acquiesced to be the shrine maiden of Morimei Shrine, so when she is in school, the classmates like to come to her to solve their troubles.

These troubles include mediating conflicts, exploring weirdness, etc.

There are many things Kazami Aoi can't do, but fortunately, whether it's Kujo Sanae or Gui Lisa, they are very good to Kazami Aoi from Tenri Shrine, and they usually come to help when they see it.
