I’m a Witch In Dongying

　　 Although Suzuki Zhuxi entered the countermeasure team earlier and has older qualifications, he is not the main person in charge after all, and some information cannot be known in the first place.

Bai Shuiqiu didn't plan to tell others about the fact that he had been to Matsudaira Kenji's house with Jiufeng Shion, so it wasn't good to continue to ask questions at this time. After considering it for a while, he provoked another topic. :

　　 "Autumn: By the way, is there such a place full of grievances in the northern part of Chiba Prefecture? Just like the Baidiwan Tunnel, it is best to leave Narita City?"

　　 "Juxi: Hey, why do you suddenly ask about this?"

　　——This question naturally stems from the piece of information Jiufeng Shion mentioned last night.

　　According to this old monster, monsters with a partial spiritual system like Rain Girl can recover grievances by absorbing the spirit body and grievances, so as to wake up as soon as possible. Although the old monster only mentioned it casually, Bai Shuiqiu still took it seriously and was ready to give it a try.

　　Of course, absorbing grievances actually has certain side effects, just like when the wind raccoon absorbs those infant spirits in Yachiyo City, if the resentment accumulates too much, it is easy to be affected by the ferocious emotions contained in it.

　　 But for a monster of Yumai's level, the negative impact caused by that bit of hostility is minimal.

　　 Facing Bai Shuiqiu’s question, Suzuki Zhuxi was not mentally prepared for a while, and after thinking about it, he said that he would take some time to sort out the relevant information before sending it to her.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu nodded naturally.

　　 Just when she was about to end the topic, a new message came over in the chat box of her phone:

　　 "Zhuxi: By the way, Xiao Qiu, there is one more thing to remind you...It's about Qingluhuo."

"Autumn:?"

"Zhuxi: Aolu Fire is a monster active in the Kansai region, so there are not many records about it in Chiba Prefecture, but according to the information obtained by Secretary Fujiwara from Kyoto in the past two days, this guy... is actually a monster. Very dangerous monster.

In the Heian era and Kamakura era, seventeen onmyojis died under its "weird fire," a flame that could burn both body and soul. Those who died in its hands , Without exception, all form and spirit are destroyed. And the matter also involves the death of a royal prince...

　　 You must know that the soul of a cultivator is much tougher than ordinary people, and it can survive for a long time after the main body dies, and can even return to the world for a short time through some special ceremonies. And this kind of magic method that can burn the soul cuts off this possibility. It is a very taboo thing in the practice world, but it is also coveted by some practitioners.

　　 Until now, there are still some people in Kansai who are still working to find the whereabouts of the blue heron fire.

so……

　　 Although I don’t know how the ancestors of your shrine signed the Shigami contract with it, it’s better to be careful. "

　　 "The inner prince......"

　　 Having lived in Japan for so long, Bai Shuiqiu is no stranger to this common sense.

　　 The so-called "inner prince" actually means "princess".

Once the royal family’s heirs are born, they are called princes or princes according to their gender. However, only the direct descendants or sisters of the emperor who have been granted the title by the emperor can be called "princes" or "princes" and enjoy food. Yap, manor and territory. The children of other princes can only be called "xx king" or "xx queen".

　　 In previous contacts, Jiufeng Ziyuan has been secretive about his past. Bai Shui Qiu Ming has tried several times in secret, but received very little information.

　　 There are only two, that is, the fact that she was known as the "Five Lights" by the Emperor, and the grievances with the ghost clan that are unclear.

　　 But basically, I don’t know anything about the specific process of these two pieces of information.

　　 But now...

　　The Onmyoji of the Heian era was killed...

　　 And also involved a royal prince?

The fact that Jiufeng Ziyuan killed human Onmyojis has a high probability of being true. After all, even the real **** like Yunv, before it was conquered, had rainstorms and flooded hundreds of miles of land. It is recorded that Jiufeng Shion, as a monster older than Rain Girl, has never conflicted with humans in the long years...

　　 It's impossible to think about it.

　　 Just considering the time when things happened, it was in the Heian era when demons were the most severe...

　　 Recalling the old grudges between the old monsters and the ghost clan, Bai Shuiqiu faintly smelled an unusual smell.

　　 Inside... there seems to be a story.

　　 "I see, I will be more careful, thanks to sister Suzuki for reminding me. In addition...Can you pack and send me a copy of the detailed information about the blue heron fire in Kyoto?

Chapter 456:

Until the end of school in the afternoon, Bai Shuiqiu still did not receive a reply from Suzuki Zhuxi.

But she wasn't too anxious.

After all, she and Jiufeng Ziyuan have not met in one or two days. Even if this old monster had a black history of bloodthirsty when he was still young, after hundreds of years of self-cultivation, he has already become temperamental. It's almost worn out, unless it is a major stimulus, it is basically impossible for a sudden change in temperament to happen.

And if that happens...

Bai Shuiqiu thought that he could still try to persuade him as a friend.

Furthermore, the information involving the Onmyoji and the royal family is mostly of a very high level, and it is not suitable for checking in a crowded place like the school. It is better to wait for the return home, and then calm down and compare. good.

Therefore, Bai Shuiqiu tidied up the textbook, and went downstairs with Keiko Kandaji.

After walking a section of the tree-lined path on the campus, the two separated at the intersection. Keiko Kandai went to the Kendo club, while Bai Shuiqiu walked in the direction of the Kyudo club.

"Classmate Baishui is here."

"Good afternoon, Xiao Qiu."

If it is said that the last cultural festival, Bai Shuiqiu was confused in front of the many members of the Kyudo Club.

So after this trial, her status in everyone's eyes is completely different from before. From the beginning, the little transparent who trained silently has become a genius Kyudo girl who can be compared with Sanae Kurimi. There are even some junior students who take the initiative to say hello when they see her.

Facing the greetings from several members, Bai Shuiqiu nodded and smiled, and responded one by one.

Then, under the gaze of bunches of eyes, he went to the locker room to change his clothes and walked to the open-air archery range to start training.

Because of the interruption of training for a few days during his menstrual period, Bai Shuiqiu was a little bit awkward.

But soon, she regained her state, let go of her hands and feet, and devoted herself to training without any distractions. Accompanied by the light trembling of the bowstring, her movements began to become smooth and natural, combined with her slender and slender figure, when viewed from the perspective of an onlooker, she was indescribably beautiful.

Gradually, some members began to put aside the training they had on hand, and took a peek at Bai Shuiqiu's side.

When these guys realized that everyone around them had done the same thing, the stealth sight slowly turned into an upright onlooker.

"Hey, you guys, what are you doing together there, why don't you go back to training soon?!"

Ogata who just came from the class to talk.

The vice minister scolded a few words with a bit of dissatisfaction. After walking a little closer to the dojo, he saw the scene of the group of students watching clearly:

"It turned out to be watching classmate Baishui training, then it's okay...

Baishui is the champion of this trial, and his archery skills are outstanding. Don't just watch the excitement. You must use your heart, observe and experience the tricks, and find out the flaws and deficiencies in your actions, so that you can achieve better in the next competition. The results..."

"..."

Ogata said painfully for a while, only to get a few absent-minded responses.

When Bai Shuiqiu shot the last arrow in the quiver and turned around with his wrists, the onlookers withdrew their gazes and pretended to return to their target.

"School girl Baishui, you have worked hard."

Ogata handed over the towel and mineral water: "In the next period of time, please work hard. This time the national competition, I beg you."

"Senior joked, didn't you..."

Bai Shuiqiu originally wanted to talk to each other in business.

But Ogata quickly shook his head and said sincerely: "I know my level. I can get the top five in the prefectural competition this time. It is already the limit of my ability. No matter what happens in the next half month. Hard work, it is impossible to have an outstanding performance in the national competition, so I can only ask Baishui school girl."

"Forehead……"

Bai Shuiqiu didn't know how to pick it up, so he could only make a haha, and changed the topic: "Isn't Mr. Shiyuan coming to the dojo today?"

"No, maybe because there are classes..."

As the vice minister of the club, Ogata was not ashamed to say that his own instructor often fished habitually, but in this situation, the difference between Shiramine Shion and Washimine is not much different. After all, only Shirasui is eligible to participate in the national competition. Autumn and Ogata, the two of them had received the most instructions before, and they had to rely on themselves for the rest.

After drinking a few sips of water and sitting next to him for a while, Bai Shuiqiu got up again and trained for a while.

It was about 5:30 before she packed up her things and left the dojo, met with Keiko Kamidai at the school gate, and drove home together.

About ten minutes later.

The car stopped at the foot of Tianmu Mountain.

Keiko Kamidai sent Bai Shuiqiu to the car, and then looked at her face carefully, and asked in a concerned tone: "Um... Qiujiang, you shouldn't catch a cold in the past two days. Look at your complexion, it's rosier than before. many."

Bai Shuiqiu smiled: "Don't worry, it's all right now."

When he sneezed last night, Bai Shuiqiu once squeezed sweat, thinking that her menstrual period was about to happen again, but it turned out that it was just a false alarm. Now she has completely recovered from the effects of her menstrual period without any problems. .

"That's good."

Keiko Kandaji nodded, seeming to memorize the date, and then smiled: "Then, Qiujiang should take a break today, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Bai Shuiqiu waved his hand, stood at the gate of the mountain and watched Keiko Kandaji get into the car and walk away before turning around and passing through the torii gate and walking up the mountain.

There is nothing to say about the process of running the shrine with Hyuga Asuka and Kanako.

The only thing worth mentioning is that Bai Shuiqiu once again helped a middle-aged man who had just been widowed to complete the blessing, and brushed up the progress of the daily task of "Pray for Blessing and Death".

After dinner that day, Bai Shuiqiu finally received the information from Zhuxi Suzuki.

There are two documents.

In the previous one, in response to the request made by Bai Shuiqiu, Suzuki Zhuxi listed several "places of grievances" that are closer to Narita.

According to the girl, these places are actually tasks that have been backlogged by the countermeasure team in recent years.

Because the places where some spiritual events occur are located in uninhabited places, or the sneaky causing the events, they belong to the "earth-bound spirit". In this case, the countermeasure team often just conduct a range seal first to prevent ghosts from attacking the surrounding people. Inflict damage, and then wait for the "right opportunity" to resolve it completely.

In this process, due to shortage of manpower and other reasons, some supernatural events will gradually accumulate, forming an unsolved case in the inventory.

And now...

Since Bai Shuiqiu mentioned it, Suzuki Zhuxi selected these tasks by the way, picked out the closest ones, packaged them and sent them to her.

Although it is a backlog of tasks, if it can be resolved, it will be included in the work performance of the countermeasure team and will be rewarded accordingly.

In other words, if you have money to get...

"It's killing two birds with one stone."

Bai Shuiqiu probably looked through it. There were three or four tasks in total, with a little more content. She was going to take a look at it when she was free.

The content of the latter document is related to "Qinglu Fire".

The content of the document is roughly similar to what Suzuki Zhuxi said before, except that it has been slightly expanded and a little more details have been added.

According to the information provided in these documents, the name of the prince in the imperial house was Akui, and she was the priest maiden of Ise Jingu.

It sounds like a bluff.

But in fact, this is not because of how strong Akui's spiritual power is, but because Ise Jingu is the shrine with the highest status in Shintoism, and the priest must be served by an unmarried emperor.

The inner prince or queen who served as a shrine maiden in Ise Shrine, also known as "Saiko", is positioned similar to the "high priest" in Western religions, and is the highest leader of the entire Shintoism, representing the Toyo royal family to worship Amaterasu.

The candidates for Zhaiwang are generally selected by the divination.

Those who are selected need to fast and bathe at Chuzaiin and Jieshaisho in the palace, and will not go to Ise Jingu until the autumn of the third year.

During the tenure of King Zhai, it is absolutely not allowed to involve in love affairs, and he needs to devote all his body and mind to the gods.

Even after abdicating, generally they can only intermarry with members of the royal family. If they marry a commoner, they will be deprived of the status of the emperor.

——This part of the description comes from the annotations made by Zhuxi Suzuki.

In the content of the material itself, there is not much description of Akui.

Because these records are basically from several major shrines and onmyoji families in Kyoto, it is naturally impossible to say too much about matters involving the royal family.

But Bai Shuiqiu noticed that a lot of content related to the ghost tribe of Dajiangshan appeared in these materials.

"For the twelve years of Yanxi, [Five Lights] used their positions to conspire with the ghost tribe to design to subvert the government, and secretly killed Prince Aquine who had learned the truth. After the incident was revealed, [Five Lights] suffered The full round up of Kyoto Onmyoji. After killing dozens of onmyojis and samurai one after another, he fled from Kyoto...

Among the five practitioners who were killed by the light, including the famous Onmyoji Abe Yoshiyasu, Hojo Masashi, etc., the news broke, and once caused an uproar in the Kansai practice world...

After more than a hundred years, the Onmyojis of the Abe, Hojo and other families were still dedicated to finding the five lights, and there were several encounters in succession. Both sides suffered damages, but they still failed to completely kill the blue heron...

Although Dajiangshan Ghost Clan also participated in this conspiracy, because of its prosperous power and arrogance, the court sent Onmyoji and army several times to encircle and suppress it to no avail. It was not until nearly a hundred years later that Yuan Laiguang and others led the crowd to suppress..."

Bai Shuiqiu read it softly, thoughtfully.

Judging from this record...

The true age of the old monster is probably more than a thousand years old.

Because Gen Raimitsu and Abe Haruaki are basically of the same generation, they were both active in the middle of the Heian Era, which was also the time when the Oeyama power was at its peak, and [Five Lights] was approved in the early Heian Era. , The difference between each other is about a hundred years.

In this way, the age of Jiufeng Ziyuan should be over 1,100 years old.
