I’m a Witch In Dongying

Hmm... Although it is true that sometimes it is a bit reckless, Bai Shuiqiu doesn't think this is equated with stupidity.

On the contrary, she feels that she is still a smart group most of the time, but she is too lazy to think more when someone helps to think...

Jiufeng Ziyuan looked at Bai Shuiqiu's frowning expression, seemed to see what she was thinking, and smiled without saying a word.

Just as Bai Shuiqiu and the two were talking here, Asakura Rie and Master Tianyuan were already lit by the light of the candlelight, and slowly turned the sixty-square-meter bucket room, and finally converged on the side of the bucket room. wall.

At that position, there was a row of steps close to the wall, leading to the upper part of the compartment.

It's just because the color of the steps is too similar to the wall next to it, and there seems to be a formation that hides the light on the surface, so if you don't look closely, it's easy to ignore it.

but…

There is no entrance above the steps.

Master Tian Yuan also walked up the steps, and then pushed **** the "ceiling" above, not moving at all.

He raised his hand and tapped it a few more times, and the sound that came out was extremely dull, obviously solid.

"Hey, isn't this the top floor, is there another compartment on it?" Bai Shuiqiu guessed.

Asakura Rie nodded lightly: "It seems so. I just observed it, and there seems to be a layer of restraint on the stone slab above this bucket room, but it's quite secret. I can't feel the spirit energy.

To be able to cover up in such a covert way is by no means an ordinary method. I am afraid that on this slate is what Jiuju faction really values ​​and tries to hide. "

As for what it is...

It could be a magic weapon, a diary, an ancient book... or even Michiman Ashiya himself!

However, if it is the last type, Bai Shuiqiu is very skeptical that this great Onmyoji who was born in the Heian period is now "surviving" in what way.

Maybe what they guessed before was all unfounded. This old guy may have died many years ago, and now all that is left is a coffin with his body.

Asakura Rie began to try to break the ban.

This time the ban, although smaller in scale, is much more subtle than the one when entering the bell tower.

Mochizuki Saka is not there, no one can help, only Asakura Rie can handle it alone.

During this process, Bai Shuiqiu and the others could only stand aside and wait silently.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Ziyuan, won't you go and help?"

Bai Shuiqiu turned his head and glanced at Jiufeng Ziyuan beside him.

This woman has a wide range of interests, and she does not know how many messy skills she has learned in the thousands of years she has survived. She personally set up the "Yang Yan Exterminating Evil Array" on Tianmu Mountain. In Bai Shuiqiu's opinion, Jiufeng Ziyuan should also be It is right to understand these restrictions and enchantments, and the probability of attaining is not low.

"I can't help."

Jiufeng Ziyuan put one hand on Bai Shuiqiu's shoulder, kneading a strand of her hair, and shook her head: "Although my knowledge of formation techniques is not too small, it's actually just incomparable. There is more than enough, just because the current practitioners have lost too much inheritance, and the average level has dropped so much, so you have this illusion. In fact...

Maybe I'm just a little bit stronger than that priestess at Fushimi Taisha Shrine. "

The "priestess" here naturally refers to Mochizuki Sandhe, who is currently guarding the bottom of the clock tower.

While speaking, Jiufeng Ziyuan made a gesture of "a little bit": "If you really want to talk about the level of this aspect, this little girl from the Asakura family is probably the level of the first echelon of the current practice world, or even the whole of Dongying. First person.

I just don't know if she can break the ban that may have been imposed by the ancestors of the Jiuju faction several generations ago, or even Doman Ashiya himself. "

"what?"

Bai Shuiqiu's eyes moved.

Could it be that even the old monster felt that the other side of this slate might hide the body of Ashiya Doman himself...?

"Well, in fact, if Ashiya Michiman himself laid it out, it might be easier to solve it. Just like the formation that Shiraumi Sana laid 70 years ago, it has become very unstable to maintain, even if Abe Seimei himself laid it. It is impossible for the formation method to still have the same effect as when it was first laid after a thousand years.

This level of formation... is not something that ordinary mediocrity can try to repair, it will only be like a patch full of clothes, the more it is repaired, the more broken it becomes.

Dilapidated clothes can still be worn, but it is much easier to remove the dilapidated formation by external force. Just wait patiently for a while, it's already here, don't worry anymore. "

Jiufeng Ziyuan said again.

"so…"

Bai Shuiqiu didn't pick up on the woman's words, instead, out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the cheek on the left side of the body that was being gently kneaded by the old monster, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Have you touched enough now? ?"

When he spoke just now, Jiufeng Ziyuan's movements did not stop at all.

And at this time, the old monster was no longer satisfied with playing with her hair, but began to stretch out his claws to his cheeks and neck, and his fingertips gently scrubbed Bai Shuiqiu's face, as if stroking smooth satin, let Bai Shui Qiu unconsciously shrank his head back a little, subconsciously trying to break free from Jiufeng Ziyuan's claws.

Only then did the woman stop her movements, and then gently pressed her shoulders to stop her from breaking free:

"Okay, okay, it's just a few touches, it's not a big deal, right... Cough, I can't control you a little bit like you are now, I'm sorry."

Bai Shuiqiu rolled his eyes and stopped talking.

She didn't know how "delicious" she was now, and she always felt that the old monster was deliberately making moves for this reason.

If it is on the Tianmu Mountain at home, it is fine. But now... Asakura Rie and Master Tianyuan are both by the side, although she and the old monster are standing by the wall, and the former two are in a state with their backs facing them, observing the runes on the ceiling It stands to reason that you can't see anything with the seal, but it's still a bit...

Fortunately, Jiufeng Ziyuan did not make any more moves.

Time passed by minute by minute.

It was estimated that it took about half an hour.

Asakura Rie finally stopped, and the voice resounded in the room again: "It seems that this formation is indeed the work of Ashiya Doman or his disciples, I have seen a similar pattern in an ancient book. I'm fortunate enough to see its solution... Although I'm not completely sure, I can try it.

In order to avoid what happens later, you can stay a little further away, or wait for a while on the next floor. "

Although no name was given, this sentence is obviously mainly talking about Bai Shuiqiu.

It is necessary to be cautious, but it is not necessary to retreat to the lower floor, so Bai Shuiqiu just controlled the body and the puppet to retreat to the corner of the doll, and then waited silently.

Jiufeng Shion also followed step by step, rubbing his chin and watching Rie Asakura's movements.

After a while.

As Asakura Rie formed a series of magic seals, he slowly circled the room at a special pace. A faint glow of fluorescence began to flow on the "ceiling", and then slowly connected into a winding line. the curve.

When the fluorescence flowed to a certain position, I heard a small click, as if some mechanism had loosened.

Then, Rie Asakura stepped up the steps and walked up a few steps, using his spiritual power, he moved a few times from a hidden position, and the stone slabs on the "ceiling" were slowly moved to the sides, revealing A hole that can only accommodate one person at a time.

A faint starlight penetrated from above the entrance of the cave, illuminating the dark and narrow room a little.

etc…

"Starlight?"

Bai Shuiqiu's eyelids jumped.

How can there be "starlight" in such a place. Could it be that... the layer above the slate is open air?

Before this trip, Bai Shuiqiu had visually measured the height of the hour, about 300 meters, equivalent to the height of two Tianmu Mountains.

And under their feet, there are already nearly 30 floors, with an average of ten meters per floor, and it should be almost the top floor.

But when he was outside, Bai Shuiqiu had never seen things like "stars" and "moon" in the sky, he always felt that...

There was something unsettling about the light, as if it were dangerous.

After a brief silence, Rie Asakura turned around and glanced at Bai Shuiqiu, as if he was considering who should go up to explore the way.

Although the slate has been opened, the situation on it is still unclear. The first person to try is likely to face great risks, and may even be killed on the spot. Therefore, you need to be extra cautious in the selection of pathfinder candidates.

Bai Shuiqiu would definitely not be able to go up.

The same goes for puppet dolls.

Because the latter's consciousness was originally a wisp of consciousness separated from Bai Shuiqiu's own consciousness, and the perception between the two parties was still shared. If something happened to the doll, it would easily affect the body.

Before leaving the "Inner World", or completely solving the problem of "The Gate of Yellow Springs", Bai Shuiqiu was the absolute key protection target, and anything that might cause problems should be avoided as much as possible.

And the rest of the people...

The most suitable candidate is, of course, Jiufeng Shion.

Chapter 777 The Bell of "Inner World" (2 in 1)

the reason is simple.

Because Jiufeng Shion's strength is the strongest among all the people present, and he has the most experience against enemies, he can deal with it freely no matter what the situation is.

However, given that the old monster is not a member of the countermeasure team, Asakura Rie is not qualified to order her, so the girl just glanced at it and turned her attention to Master Tianyuan.

If she doesn't go up by herself, then she can only let the old monk from Kiyomizu Temple go up first to find the way...

"Wait, let Hong Wu do it, it's more secure."

Bai Shuiqiu timely elected a suitable "person".

"Eh?"

Asakura Rie heard the sound.

While speaking, Bai Shuiqiu had already given an order through his mind.

The red mist gradually diffused from Bai Shuiqiu's body, and from the very beginning of the "heart armor", it gradually condensed into a fully armed armored humanoid.

The appearance is still the "Ibaraki Doji skin version of Shirasuaki", but the armor on his body has become a thickened version of Nanban's body—

This kind of armor is one of the characteristic armors of the Eastern Ying Warring States period. Its defensive performance is considered to be the strongest among Japanese armors. Asakura Asami used it once when she used the accompanying shikigami, and was "seen" by Hongwu and imitated it.

Moreover, in order to strengthen the defense ability, the thickness of this layer of Nanman's body is much thicker than the normal armor, and all the joints are tightly closed together, and the style is closer to the European-style full-body plate armor.

In any case, the red mist doesn't need to breathe, even if the whole body is covered in the armor, it doesn't matter.

Next, Bai Shuiqiu took out a pair of spears and shields from the Sealing Demon Scroll and handed them to the Red Mist Armored Soldier.

"That's it, no matter what situation you encounter above, you can advance and retreat freely with the ability of Red Mist."

Even if he encounters an invincible formidable enemy, he won't be injured like other people, and he will only lose a part of his body at most—this is the point that Red Mist has the most advantage over others.

"Alright... Then I will trouble you, Xiao Qiu, and this Mr. Shikigami."

Rie Asakura nodded and moved aside the steps beside him: "Be careful, there may be unexpected traps on it, if there is any situation, you can withdraw first and then find a way."

"Ok."

Under the gaze of a few beams of eyes in the house.

The fully-armed red mist slowly walked along the steps to the top of the stone slab.

Before the body appeared above the slate, thin mist particles had already spread to the surroundings.

In fact, the red fog does not have the same "vision" ability as humans.

It actually uses the mist particles dispersed into the air to capture the movement of the outside world, thereby judging the surrounding situation. Although the range that can be "seeed" is slightly smaller, the accuracy and clarity at close range Not low.

Soon, Hong Wu, through his mind, reported to Bai Shuiqiu the things he "saw" one by one.

In Bai Shuiqiu's mind, a pattern gradually formed, which gradually became clear from the vagueness at the beginning, reflecting what the red fog detected—

Under the blessing of the highly purified spiritual power in her body, her current contractual skills seem to have improved a lot, and her communication with Shikigami such as Hongwu has become smoother, and she can even directly transmit the information from Shikigami. It is converted into a rough outline of the screen and "watched" directly as a live broadcast.

Above the slate, it should be the top floor of this clock tower.

There is actually a clock here.

The space on the top floor is about forty square meters, which is only slightly larger than a room. The ceiling position is a tapered dome, which extends straight into the sky like a lightning rod, surrounded by a pentagram. There are four pillars standing in the form of, and there is an empty scene in the middle of every two pillars, and you can directly see the surrounding of the bell tower.

There was a strong mountain wind blowing from the middle of these pillars, making a hunting wind sound.

If it wasn't Red Mist who went up, but someone else, then he should have been shaken by the blow and even fell off the table accidentally.

at the same time…

It is also because the five sides are ventilated, so the light here is not as dim as the twenty-ninth floor.

A large bell in the middle of the top floor, just below the conical dome, is clearly visible without the need for candlelight.

—Yes, the kind of "clock" that indicates the time.

This is really a "bell" tower.

Because the floor is too high, when you look up from below, you can't see the big bell.

Only at this time did Bai Shuiqiu see that the clock was supported by a spliced ​​mass of twisted steel—

To be precise, it is something that looks like steel, because the material composition in the "inner world" is different from the real world, so it is hard to say what material these things are, and it may even be an unknown element that does not exist in the real world at all. .

If it can be knocked down and brought back, it may be able to overturn the existing periodic table of elements.

The dial in the middle looks like a round white stone.
