I’m a Witch In Dongying

The original notes were left by this aunt seventy years ago, and they have been in paper for quite a while.

Therefore, Bai Shuiqiu did not dare to just stuff them into his suitcase. As for the seal inside the scroll, the same is true. The safest way is to copy a copy by yourself and carry it next to your skin. You can take it out and look at it when you are free. You can also deepen your understanding while copying it along with it.

In the next few days, Bai Shuiqiu executed it methodically according to a predetermined plan.

Daily archery training, draw talisman after going home, copy notes, and then use "meditation" to practice swordsmanship in my mind for a while before going to bed, and lead a very fulfilling life.

This regular day lasted for about a week, and the summer vacation finally arrived as scheduled.

Early this morning.

Just after six o'clock, Bai Shuiqiu got up from the bed early, and went to Houshan morning to practice for a while according to the usual practice, and then came back for breakfast. Dressed neatly after the meal, I dragged the suitcase I packed last night, ready to leave.

Today is the day when the Kyodo Club heads to Kyoto City to prepare to participate in the IH National Competition.

During this process, Chiyo exhorted a few more words of "be careful on the road".

Speaking of it, the number of times Bai Shuiqiu went out during this period was not too small, and nearly half of them went out, regardless of their original intentions, they would be more or less involved in spiritual events. Several times it was even more dangerous, and even Bai Shuiqiu himself was a little used to it. But the old man is still not so relieved, every time he takes the trouble to give instructions.

In this regard, she can only listen patiently.

"I see, grandma, don't worry, it's just an ordinary trip."

As he said, Bai Shuiqiu waved to the Hyuga Asuka next to him, and said goodbye to each other.

Then he changed his shoes, lifted the suitcase under the watch of the two of them, and went all the way down the mountain.

When walking along the road to the foot of the mountain, the car of the Jindai family was already waiting here in advance.

"Morning, Qiujiang."

Standing next to the car door, Keiko Kandarai raised a hand and beckoned, raising a bright smile.

Bai Shuiqiu was a little embarrassed: "Obviously it's the weekend, so I have to trouble Keiko, you come to see me off early in the morning, it's really..."

"It's okay, I usually get up at about this time, and after Qiujiang you set off, we will not be able to meet for a long time, so this time it happens to be here to see you off."

"It didn't take long, just three or four days..."

"An la An, don't care about such details, get in the car first."

While they were talking, Shiraito and Keiko Kamidai both got into the back of the car, and then they were picked up and drove in the direction of Narita High School. About ten minutes or so, they arrived near the school gate and found a roadside stop nearby. Come down.

As soon as the car stopped, the uncle driver got out of the car next step, took out the suitcase that was in the trunk, and helped Bai Shuiqiu open the door on the side where she was, standing aside respectfully.

"Then, I will leave first, Keiko."

Bai Shuiqiu got out of the carriage, turned around and waved to Keiko Kandaji, and said with a smile, "See you in Kyoto~"

"Well, see you in Kyoto, pay attention to safety, Qiujiang."

"I will."

...

There is nothing to say about the assembly process.

The bus is rented in advance by the Kyudo Department.

Because there are some seniors in the second and third grades in the department who signed up for summer training courses and did not have enough time to participate in the IH competition, the number of people who went to Kyoto this time was a few fewer than when they went to Chiba City last time. Even the minister, Kurimi Sanae, did not appear in the team because of the reason to review and prepare for the exam.

Therefore, the person sitting with Bai Shuiqiu became Jiufeng Ziyuan.

Compared with other staff dragging large and small suitcases, this old monster is much lighter and simpler. He only carries a small shoulder bag and is dressed in a thin shirt and skirt. It doesn’t look like it at all. The way it should be if you want to travel far.

"Teacher Shion, did you bring such a thing..."

Bai Shuiqiu held back several times, and finally couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.

"You said this..."

Jiufeng Shiyuan glanced at his outfit and smiled slightly: "It's just a trip to Kyoto. There is no need to carry so much luggage, change clothes, etc. You can just buy a new one over there. Anyway, it's not very expensive. Things. And...

I also have a house in Kyoto. Although the past few years have not passed very much, there are still some things stored in it, and you can go back and get it anytime if you need it. "

When talking about "a house", Jiufeng Ziyuan's tone was downplayed, as if only mentioning a trivial matter.

"..."

Bai Shuiqiu felt that there was no way to talk this day.

Chapter 482:

Bai Shuiqiu has heard of the fact that Jiufeng Shion owns a house in the Kansai area.

With the financial resources of this old monster, it is not difficult to purchase several houses in Kyoto.

and……

When this woman was active in the Heian Era as Aoluhuo, she was highly valued by the imperial family, and perhaps she was once given a mansion by the emperor at the time—the "Five Lights" were regarded as official imperial positions. It stands to reason that there is this. Qualified--if that's the case, the old monster's house in Kyoto may have been around for some years, so it's not an exaggeration to say it's a historic site.

But the problem is...

Is it really good to show off your wealth invisible like this...

Bai Shuiqiu rolled his eyes silently.

Jiufeng Shiyuan noticed the change in her expression, smiled, and then turned around and talked about a few things about archery training.

In any case, this old monster still has the responsibility of being a consultant to the archery department. Before the competition is about to start, it is natural to care about the students' preparations. Although in fact, she hardly played her responsibilities, most of the time she let Bai Shuiqiu and others figure it out for herself...

"...The list of players for this national competition has been released. Compared with last year, the list of players has not changed much. Although there are a lot of new faces, the average level is probably the level of Ogata. It may be slightly higher, but the range is limited."

When he heard this, Bai Shuiqiu silently glanced at a row of seats obliquely behind.

Vice Minister Ogata was sitting over there, talking to the staff next to him.

Although Ogata was the only one who successfully advanced in the men's group, he was obviously not optimistic about what the old monster said.

It is worth celebrating to be able to spend more than two days and not be eliminated by one round of tour...

But the one who really hopes to win the ranking is still on her side.

"On the women's side, the only opponent that is worth noting is Ritsumeikan Middle School's Liu Yuan Mika."

"This girl once defeated Sanae in the IH competition last year and won the championship. As far as I know, her ancestors seem to be somewhat related to Naito style, and there may be some family archery inheritance. Sanae's skills are good. , But still a bit inferior to her, and losing to her is considered inferior."

"Naito?"

Bai Shuiqiu raised his eyebrows.

She still knows a little about the Toyo Kyudo, and she can probably guess that the "Naito clan" mentioned by Jiufeng Shion should refer to the line of Naito Masaei in the Warring States Period.

This guy can be regarded as one of the most famous marksmen in the history of the East. It is said that there was a record of killing four people with one arrow, known as the "Arrow of God", and he later followed Tokugawa Ieyasu in the latter In the battle to calm the troubled times, he made great achievements and was listed as one of the sixteen gods of Tokugawa. Painted as a portrait for people to admire, it can be regarded as a history.

Of course, in Bai Shuiqiu's view, the so-called "killing four people with one arrow" is somewhat deliberately exaggerated.

——The resistance that the arrow receives when it penetrates the human body is quite large, even if it is an ordinary Ronin without armor, and it penetrates four people in a row, this kind of thing can only be done with a bed crossbow.

Of course, if this Naito Masacheng is also a spiritual practitioner, then it is still possible, but in fact it is obviously not.

However, since it can leave a strong mark in history, there are still two brushes, at least one with astonishing strength.

Jiufeng Shion nodded slightly: "Well, that's the guy. Speaking of it, I seemed to have met him once and asked about Naito’s archery. As a martial jet born on the battlefield of cold weapons, Naito’s bow The technique does have a bit of skill, and it can be regarded as outstanding among ordinary people."

"Yes……"

Bai Shuiqiu nodded, suddenly a little curious: "By the way, Teacher Shion, when you first studied archery, was also a famous person in history?"

Calculated by the age of the old monster, it should be possible to encounter Heishamon in the Heian period and Nasu Yuichi in the Kamakura period.

These two are also well-known archers in the history of Dongying, and in terms of fame and record, they are much better than Naito Masasaki.

Washiamine Shion shook his head: "No, I actually learned archery late. The formal study was still in the Muromachi period. The teacher I worshiped was just a very ordinary archery teacher at that time, and he didn't leave a name in history.

Later, after the teacher's death, I asked some masters who were famous for archery for advice, and then I slowly explored some ways. Masanori Naito is one of the people I have consulted. "

Having said that, Jiufeng Ziyuan smiled:

"As for the two you mentioned, I've seen them all. They are indeed one of the strongest archers in the history of Dongying. But at that time, I didn't have much interest in archery. In some trouble, so I haven't had too many intersections with them, which is a pity."

"Troublesome..."

Does it mean being chased by the Onmyoji of Kyoto?

This thought flashed away in Bai Shuiqiu's heart.

However, this kind of question involves the scars of the old monster, and she is not good at asking directly.

Therefore, Bai Shuiqiu adopted the method of side-knock, and first followed Jiufeng Ziyuan's words to continue speaking, intending to spy on possible intelligence from her response.

Jiufeng Ziyuan also seemed to be interested in talking, and said something about the ancient bow technique. There were no related historical facts in various official histories, and she picked them out one by one, and she cherished them.

Bai Shuiqiu just listened to this information in silence, as it broadened his horizons.

During the conversation, the bus carrying members of the Kyudo Club had driven out of the campus of Narita High School and headed west along the highway.

From Narita City to Kyoto, the straight-line distance is about 400 kilometers, but when converted into a distance, it would be three to five percent more.

If you take a tram and you need to transfer several times on the way, even if the journey goes smoothly, it will take seven or eight hours to reach your destination.

If you take a bus, although there is no problem of stopping halfway, the time on the road is not short.

Of course……

The cost must be slightly more expensive.

But for the wealthy old monster, it is nothing, and the money is not paid by her personally, but from the funds of the Archery Department. In order to participate in the national competition, the chartered bus fare can be reimbursed by the school afterwards. , There is no need to spend money on your own.

At noon, the bus stopped next to a small park.

The members of the car got out of the car one after another, took out their lunch boxes and ate something, and then disbanded and rested for a while before they got back into the car and continued westward.

At this time, Bai Shuiqiu felt a little sleepy.

After telling the wind raccoon that something happened to wake herself up, she put her hands on her chest, with her head resting on the back of the seat, and closed her eyes to squint for a while.

Jiufeng Shiyuan, who was next to him, turned his head and glanced at her, arms crossed her body, closed the curtains of the bus, and whispered: "If you are tired, you can sleep in peace. When I get to Kyoto, I will call you up. ."

"..."

Bai Shuiqiu's eyelashes trembled, and there was no sound.

To be honest, she wasn't really at ease.

The main reason was that the person sitting next to her was no longer Kurimi Sanae when he went to Chiba City, but was replaced by an old monster.

Compared with the gentle-tempered Sanae-senpai, the old youkai’s temperament is not so easy to fathom. I wonder if she would secretly do something while she is asleep...especially before thinking of Asakura Asami. After the reminder, this worry became more obvious.

Although considering that Ogata and others are still in the carriage, the probability of this kind of thing happening shouldn't be great.

But anyway, Bai Shuiqiu still didn't dare to sleep too much.

When I was in a daze, I felt that the carriage was constantly bumping on the road. As the vehicle moved forward, gradually, a strong sense of fatigue began to surge upwards.

"If you only sleep for a while, there should be no problem..."

Bai Shuiqiu thought so, his consciousness gradually became dizzy, and finally fell asleep.

...

I don't know how long it took.

Bai Shuiqiu was still dozing dazedly, and was patted on the shoulder by the old monster next to him, and then a faint heat blew in her ears, which made her feel a little itchy:

"It's time to get up, we're almost there."

"……So fast?"

Bai Shuiqiu's reaction was dull for a few seconds before a Ji Ling came to his senses. He first glanced at himself, and after confirming that the clothes he was wearing had not been artificially moved, he turned his head and looked out of the car window with a little surprise.

It's already afternoon.

The sky outside the car window was a bit gloomy, the sun was shrouded by overlapping dark clouds, and the surroundings seemed to be drizzling. The light was not so bright. In the eyes, you can see the left and right rows of trees rushing away from both sides of the bus. As for the front of the vehicle, about a few miles away, the outline of a group of buildings can be vaguely seen.

"Is Kyoto City over there..."

"Yes, after all, it is also a thousand-year-old capital. It still looks very grand, right?"

Jiufeng Shion smiled, and cast his gaze to the group of buildings, and squinted his eyes slightly: "I haven't been back here for a long time... It really feels like a world away."

"..."

Bai Shuiqiu twitched the corner of his mouth and glanced at the old monster from behind.

For ordinary people, "like a world away" is just an exaggerated description.
