I’m a Witch In Dongying

A few minutes later.

Jiufeng Ziyuan really helped Bai Shuiqiu "warm up" the quilt.

However, instead of lying in the warm quilt in person, he squatted on the edge of the bed, put his palms into the quilt and drew a circle, and the air inside the quilt immediately became warmer under the agitation of the faint demon power. The coldness of the late autumn season was also dispelled directly.

Rain Girl watched this scene silently, but did not make a sound to stop it.

After everyone lay down, the lights went out.

In the dark room, three breathing sounds came one after another.

Bai Shuiqiu, Keiko and the old monster slept on the bed.

Rain Girl returned to the green umbrella.

——When Bai Shuiqiu left Tianmu Mountain before, he once got this umbrella from the woman in green, but because the shikigami such as Hongwu and the old monster were powerful enough, and later he got the "Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation". ”, so it was not used in the “Inner World”.

In a sense, this is also a kind of luck. After all, once the power contained in this umbrella is used, it means that Bai Shuiqiu has fallen into an extremely dangerous situation and may even lose his life. That is not something to look forward to...

Because Bai Shuiqiu slept enough during the day, he couldn't sleep a little at this moment. After lying on the bed for a while, he turned his head and looked out the window.

"What are you thinking about?"

The voice of Keiko Kashiro came from the left, and the tone was very light, as if whispering in a low voice.

"No, it's just that I slept a lot during the day, so I'm not very sleepy now."

"Yes……"

Keiko Kashiro turned over and turned to face her face-to-face—of course, the two of them were not sleeping on the same bed, and there was a narrow aisle in the middle. Under the bright moonlight through the curtains, Baishui Qiu can clearly see the girl's face: "I always feel that after returning from the "inner world", Qiu Jiang, your appearance seems to be different. "

"Ok?"

"It's... It seems to be a little colder than before, but it's not a coldness in character, but a slight change in temperament, like a more holy feeling."

"Holy?"

Bai Shuiqiu laughed dumbly.

In fact, from the perspective of spiritual power change, she has indeed become more "holy" than before.

Because the spiritual power from the young Bai Shuiqiu is far cleaner and purer than the spiritual power of ordinary practitioners, and it has the effect of purifying fierce resentment, so it is not wrong to use "holy" to describe it.

However, Keiko Kashiro does not have the quality of spiritual media. Most of the "holy" this girl said was just because her current temperament had a little more temperament of childhood autumn.

Fortunately, Keiko didn't use "delicious" to describe it...

"So, Qiu-chan, do you now... also remember what happened in Urayasu City?"

Kamiyo Keiko blinked, the look on his face was a little expectant.

Bai Shuiqiu nodded lightly: "Yes."

She really recalled the experience when she and Keiko were kidnapped together, and she probably understood where Keiko Kamiyo had a good impression of her from the first time they met.

At this moment, looking at this girl's bright eyes under the moonlight, she couldn't help but smile.

"In addition to these, I also remembered more things. I will tell you later when I have time. Go to bed early today, and there are schedules for tomorrow."

"Well, then go to sleep first."

Keiko Koujiro also smiled, then raised her eyes slightly, looked at Shiufeng Shion on the other side of the room, then glanced at the green umbrella placed on the bedside table, and carefully extended a hand , approached Bai Shuiqiu.

After seeing the girl's intentions, Bai Shuiqiu also stretched out a hand and held it with Keiko's. There was a soft and smooth touch at the start.

Bai Shuiqiu: "Good night."

Keiko Kashiro: "Good night."

Silent all night.

Blink to the second day.

Early in the morning, Bai Shuiqiu got up from the bed, stood in the room and did a few sets of stretching exercises, feeling that his body was moving, and then went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash.

After Shion Shion and Keiko Kashiro also woke up, the three of them went downstairs together and had breakfast in the hotel lobby.

After dinner, when Bai Shuiqiu went to the toilet and came back, Keiko Kamidai had already negotiated with Jiufeng Ziyuan and Yunv the route to Mount Glauber's Salt.

"If there is no error in Sister Green's memory, then the Glauber's Salt Mountain two hundred years ago should be in this position."

Keiko Kashiro spread out a map marked with a red marker on the dining table: "The distance between here and where we are now is less than a hundred miles, and it can be reached by car in about 20 minutes.

However, considering that this area is a continuous mountain range, and there is no road built in a large area nearby, the car may not be able to drive up. From here, you need to get off the car and walk for a certain distance..."

After Keiko Kashiro finished talking about the situation, she didn't forget to take a look at Bai Shuiqiu and ask for her opinion:

"What do you think of Qiujiang?"

"I... see with my eyes."

Bai Shuiqiu scratched his head: "It's fine for you to discuss and decide, except for Sister Lu, none of us have been to this place, so we can only take a step by step.

But even if you can't find the traces of the shrine back then, it doesn't matter, it's fine to go out and climb a mountain to relax. "

Anyway, it's just a hike, so there's no need to think about any strategic plan or the like, and Bai Shuiqiu doesn't bother to think more.

As long as Keiko Kashiro doesn't sell her to the black coal kiln, there will be no problem...

"makes sense."

Keiko Kashiro thought for a while: "Then let Ryoko and the others go buy some picnic stuff and come back, let's go."

Chapter 803 Go to Glauber's Salt Mountain (2 in 1)

What Bai Shuiqiu said about "climbing the mountains to relax" was just a casual mention. But in fact, no matter whether the ruins of Baishui Shrine can be found or not, this trip will probably take a whole day, and it is unavoidable to solve the problem of lunch on the mountain, and it is necessary to prepare in advance.

About half an hour later, after Ryoko and the others returned from buying some food, the group left the hotel, took the car that Keiko and his group drove from Narita City, and drove to Nagano Prefecture in the southwest.

Several cars gradually drove out of the city.

After passing through Anzhong City, which is the westernmost part of Gunma, you enter the adjacent Nagano Prefecture.

"When you arrive, just stop at the place in front."

Bai Shuiqiu relayed the meaning of Rain Girl to Keiko and others.

As the only person who had ever lived here, Rain Girl began to act as a guide at this time, instructing Bai Shuiqiu and his party.

As Bai Shuiqiu’s voice fell, several cars stopped one after another. In front of them was a rolling mountain range. Several weed-covered paths twisted and twisted to the mountain. Looking up, it was full of lush green. Can't see where it extends.

"Is this the Glauber's Salt Mountain..."

Bai Shuiqiu originally thought that Glauber's Salt Mountain might be similar to his own Tianmu Mountain, but after seeing it, he realized that the terrain in this area is more like Lantern Mountain.

They are all located in the middle of a mountain range, and as Keiko said, there is no winding road around. If you want to go up, you can only climb slowly, or the old monster will show its body and send the group directly.

However, this is the world after all, and it is in broad daylight. Since Jiufeng Ziyuan himself did not take the initiative to raise this proposal, Bai Shuiqiu did not speak.

The group started climbing.

There were villages near Glauber's Salt Mountain two hundred years ago.

And there's more than one.

But now, it is already an uninhabited wild mountain, there are no villages around, and the nearest city is dozens of miles away.

The roads that used to be used by woodcutters or hunters to chop firewood for hunting, and rely on the mountains to eat mountains have long been blocked by bushes and gravel. When climbing along such mountain roads, it is naturally not very smooth.

Everyone else was fine, basically either not human or had a habit of exercising.

The only exception is Keiko Kashiro.

Considering that the girl's physique is relatively weak, Bai Shuiqiu took two "lightweight charms" in advance and put them on the sides of the girl's legs, which made the girl feel much more relaxed. Barely keeping up with the speed of the large army.

At the beginning, when encountering obstacles such as branches and rubble, Ryoko and others stepped forward and used tools such as machetes to clear the road before continuing to move forward.

But soon, Bai Shuiqiu realized that this process was too complicated, and he didn't know when he would reach his destination, so he directly asked Rain Girl to take action, and when passing through some special and difficult areas, he would wrap everyone with water and rain. Jump straight forward. After so many times, he finally appeared near the top of the mountain.

A few hundred meters away, it is the highest point in this area.

At this position, the terrain gradually became smoother, and a large area of ​​flat land began to appear.

Bai Shuiqiu stood at a high place and looked into the distance a few times. The line of sight was quite wide, and he could see a winding curve flowing from a distance, like a thin silver line, bypassing the city from a distance, and then Flow all the way to the northeast.

It seems to be a river.

"That is the Qianqu River, the main stream of the Shinano River, and one of the longest rivers in the entire Eastern Ying."

The person who spoke was Jiufeng Shion.

The woman stopped beside Bai Shuiqiu, followed her line of sight and glanced in the direction of Qianquchuan, and explained:

"In ancient times, the country of Shinano was surrounded by ten kingdoms. It was a strategic place for military strategists and one of the few places where horses were produced in the East. There were many mountains and rivers. "

After a pause, Jiufeng Shion said a few more words: "Since the Onin Rebellion in the Muromachi era, Dongying has entered the Warring States period, and the Shinano country has always been under the separatist rule of several local nobles, the two largest of which The families are the Ogasawara clan and the Murakami clan. They have challenged each other several times, but they have not decided on a name that can rule the entire Shinano country.

Until around 1550 AD, in order to compete for the Shinano country, Kafei Takeda and Echigo Uesugi broke out five consecutive battles of Kawanakajima in twelve years. In the end, Uesugi Kenshin was defeated, and Takeda Shingen became the guardian of Shinano. "

"However, after only about twenty years, the Takeda family was destroyed by the Oda army, and Oda Nobunaga himself was buried in Honnoji a few short years later. After that, the Shinano country fell into war again until the eve of the Edo period. , that is, around 1600 AD, was finally unified by the Tokugawa family.

Well, it's also a very tortuous history. It should have been covered in your history class, but probably not in that much detail. "

"Understood……"

Bai Shuiqiu nodded.

Her historical performance is not very good, especially for the most chaotic Warring States period in Dongying, she does not have a clear concept in her mind. At this moment, after hearing Jiufeng Ziyuan's popular science, she probably has a clear idea.

It seems that in the 100 years of the sixteenth century, there was not much time for the stability of the Shinano country, and such a period of frequent wars was also the most likely to produce various ghosts and ghosts.

Just don't know...

Whether the existence of Rain Girl has anything to do with this.

After all, if I remember correctly, the time when Rain Girl was conquered as a shikigami should be in the early Edo period.

And as the time when the monster was born, it needs to be pushed forward at least a few decades, which is very close to the time when the war broke out in the Shinano country.

I'll have a chance to ask later...

"The direction the shrine was in the past year has to go a little further." Rain Girl stood at a high place to identify the surrounding terrain and turned back.

The group rested in place for a while, continued to climb the mountain, and walked for about two miles when they saw a larger flat area not far ahead, as if it had been artificially repaired a few years ago. There were also some large and small rubble scattered around.

However, because time has passed for too long, it is a bit difficult to make up the scene of the past from these gravel blocks.

"Is this where the White Water Shrine was located?"

Bai Shuiqiu looked back at Rain Girl.

"Yes."

Rain Girl turned around, probably recalling the scene here in the past, and then nodded: "The few pieces of gravel here are the main gate of the shrine back then, and the torii gate is in the direction we just passed by. , but you can't see it now."

After receiving the response, Bai Shuiqiu slowed down and looked around as he walked.

After all the scenes in several directions were brought into his mind, Bai Shuiqiu thought for a while, then closed his eyes slightly, trying to spread out his spiritual sense little by little, sensing the surrounding wind and grass.

blank……

Now, more than 200 years have passed since Baishui Qisaki took the Rain Girl from Glauber's Salt Mountain, and the traces of the past have been wiped away under the baptism of time. Not even the slightest trace of soul or consciousness could still exist.

Bai Shuiqiu himself knew that if he wanted to use his spiritual sense to spy on the situation of the year, the chance of success was quite slim, but he still stood silently at a distance and continued to persevere, waiting for the opportunity to spy on the information.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Under the condition of high concentration, Bai Shuiqiu's mind gradually emptied, and his consciousness seemed to turn into tentacles, spreading out to the surrounding as his spiritual sense unfolded.

I don't know how long it took...

It seemed that there was a touch of dampness and a **** smell in the wind blowing around, and then suddenly!

I heard a whistle, and a flame was blazing under my feet! !

This "flame" does not really exist in reality, but a flame that spreads from the depths of the mind.

As Bai Shuiqiu's movements of constantly probing his spiritual sense spread over the ruins of this Baishui Shrine, the picture in his mind became blurred from the very beginning, and became vivid little by little.

Slowly, a phantom of a shrine was sketched in Bai Shuiqiu's mind, rising into the air on this flat mountain.

The main hall, the worship hall, the courtyard, the hand-water house, the corridor...

Bai Shuiqiu still closed his eyes and moved his steps gently, walking in this shrine that no longer exists.

"Xiaoqiu...what are you doing?"
