On a sunny afternoon, in a small green rest area with trees, exercise, ponds and gravel, Isayama Yomi and Tsuchimiya Kagura sat next to each other, and in their hands, each held an inner There were plastic lunch boxes filled with food. It was obvious that they were taking a lunch break at this time.

"Yomi, what are you thinking about?" Tsuchimiya Kagura looked at Huang Quan, who was obviously more taciturn than usual, and asked with a puzzled look.

"Ah, it's nothing." Huang Quan shook his head and smiled after coming back to his senses.

"Are you thinking about the spell competition you saw that day again?" Tsuchimiya Kagura tilted her head and said thoughtfully.

"Ah, yes." Huang Quan gently raised his head, looked at the white clouds floating freely in the sky, and responded softly. At the same time, in her mind, she couldn't help but recall the gorgeous battle scene she saw at the Yin Yang School a few days ago.

"Hokuto!" Tsuchimikado Natsume shouted loudly.

Amidst the shouts, the dragon that was originally staying in the school quickly flew out of the passage and rose straight into the air above the altar where everyone was, circling and swimming like a snake. The overflowing and spreading divine holy spirit waves combined with the golden color of the dragon itself make it look like a small ball of sun.

"The Tsuchimikado Family's Dragon... is a good sideshow." A short old man named Ashiya Michimi laughed happily.

Although he couldn't hear Daoman's words, the dragon hovering in the air turned his head, stared at Daoman below, let out a majestic roar, and then straightened his body. It shot down towards Daoman like an arrow.

Facing Beidou's attack, Daoman remained motionless. The [ghosts] waiting nearby were as sharp as the dragons. They all moved together. One of them ducked in front of Daoman, turned into a shield and waited to withstand the dragon's impact, and the other of the dragons... Aiming at Beidao's long body and attacking from the side, the sudden burst of speed was in sharp contrast to its bulky body.

At this time. The dragon's speed is mentioned again. He rushed forward at an even faster speed, then turned the dragon's head sharply, opening his mouth to bite the other ghost that was unable to dodge because it was flying into the air.

The spiritual stagnation phenomenon all over the ghost's body immediately appeared.

Then, Beidou tossed his head again. He smashed the sluggish ghost into another ghost who was protecting Dao Man.

"boom!"

The two ghosts collided together. Then they were both blown aside by the explosive momentum. He fell heavily on the platform. One of them had not recovered from the impact of Beidou's divine spiritual energy, and its body was still covered with large amounts of spiritual stagnation, unable to move. The other one arrived because it was only hit and did not suffer from mental stagnation, so it quickly stood up.

But at this time, Beidou had already rushed in front of it, passing through the ghost like an arrow. The spirit stagnation emerged uncontrollably from the ghost whose face was scratched badly by Beidou's giant claws.

Then, Beidou, who rushed forward, grabbed the protruding wall at the edge of the building with one claw, readjusted his direction and posture, and rushed towards Daoman's twin ghosts for the third time. The latter was completely unresponsive due to spiritual stagnation. In an instant, he opened his mouth to bite one of them, and pressed the other one with his dragon claws.

The winner is decided.

"Too..." Regarding everything in front of him, the stunned Tsuchimikado Harutora could only use this word to express his mood at this time.

"Darenji, is the paper shikigami still in the school?" Ignoring Harutora's stupidity, Natsume asked Suzuka of Dalianji beside him without looking back.

"Still, still inside, because you didn't give any new instructions, so you're still on the stairs just now..." Dalenji Suzuka, who was suddenly called, replied in a panic. Obviously, as a former Twelve God General, she was also a little surprised by Tsuchimikado Natsume's strength.

"Please call him over immediately and work with Beidou to contain him. If you can distract him, you can buy time... Kurahashi also asked Shirozakura and Kurofeng to come together!" Tsuchimikado Natsume was just like commanding the enemy before the battle. He ordered with a solemn demeanor like a general.

"This is bad." Daoman raised his head and looked at the dragon suppressing the two ghosts with his eyes hidden behind the bright red lenses. He said with a hint of bitterness in his tone, "It's too low. A dragon of this level is completely incompetent." [Free-range]?”

"Natsume! Release the dragon's physical form!" Kurahashi Yomi, the school's leader, realized something and quickly ordered loudly.

Regarding this obviously abnormal order, Tsuchimikado Natsume instinctively flashed a trace of doubt and disgust in his heart, but as a junior and a private school student, he still followed the instructions and performed the dispelling technique.

"It doesn't matter, restraint!" However, before Natsume's technique could take effect, Doman's technique had already been activated.

Under Daoman's command, the two ghosts suppressed by Long dispersed in vain and turned into a dark, asphalt or petroleum-like viscous substance, which stuck Beidou to the ground like glue. No matter how hard you struggle, you can't fly high again.

"Hokuto!" Natsume shouted.

"How could this happen! You can't dematerialize Beidou!" Then, Natsume found that he couldn't dematerialize Beidou.

"Because the connection with the real world has been forcibly terminated, no, if we continue like this..." Principal Kurahashi said with a serious face. Then a look of determination appeared on the principal's face, and his hands formed a mudra.

"Dominate everything, Vajra Boy - Immovable Golden Binding!"

He quickly recited the incantation and pointed the formed handprints at the dragon's position. In an instant, the black liquid transformed by the ghost relaxed slightly, allowing Beidou's body to fly a short distance.

"Oh?" When Daoman saw this, he let out a rather pleasant smile. Then he formed a sword seal with one hand and swung it down between Beidou and the school principal. The ghost that had just been ripped off surged into Long's body again, pulling him back to the ground.

Obviously, the knife mark and the wave of the hand were used to cut off the ties of the curse.

"Haha... How about it? This dragon will turn into an old shikigami if it continues, how about it?" Daoman looked at Natsume who turned pale and smiled.

In the legend, Ashiya Domitsu, who was called Master Domo, was born during a battle with Abe Seimei. He was deprived of his shikigami by Abe Seimei, thus admitting defeat and withdrawing from the political struggle of that period.

"It's very troublesome to lower a spirit into a shiki. I usually don't want to do it, but if it's a dragon from Tsuchimikado, even the old man can't help but be tempted. Coupled with the bloodline from Seimei, this idea is getting stronger and stronger. .”

A look of despair appeared on Natsume's face.

For an instant, everyone except Isayama Yomi and Tsuchimiya Kagura had dejected expressions on their faces. At the same time, Isayama Yomi was also secretly taking advantage of the situation when no one was paying attention. He signaled Tsuchimiya Kagura not to act rashly with his eyes.

After all, it is compared to Hokuto, the dragon that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Tsuchimikado family. The Bai Rui sealed in Tsuchimiya Kagura is indeed dependent on the host's soul. If the spirit beast is really taken away, it means that Tsuchimiya Kagura will definitely die, so Isayama Yomi will never do anything just to build relationships. Putting Kagura in danger.

"No. No. Master. A grandfather of many years will not snatch things from children." Just when Isayama Yomi was considering whether to use Kidō to help Tsuchimikado Natsume retrieve the dragon, a light voice came to the scene. rang out.

"Click, click, click..." Then there was a rhythmic sound. A male figure wearing hunting clothes walked out of the entrance to the passage leading to the roof.

"Oh?" Ashiya Michitoshi turned around, looked at the visitor, and made the most pleasant sound he had ever heard.

"Ah, oh, oh, oh, this staircase is better for me. I have a prosthetic foot." The visitor complained without any sense of nervousness.

"Ah... To be honest, I want to go back. Principal, do you have to pay overtime this time?" The visitor raised his head and looked at Kurahashi Yomi on the altar with a friendly smile.

"Teacher Otomo? It's still lunch break now?" After seeing the appearance of the visitor, Principal Kurahashi immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a knowing smile.

Otomo's full name is Otomo Jin, and he is considered to be Tsuchimikado Natsume's class teacher and practical teacher.

Otomo Jin sighed, holding a short stick in his right hand, gently pressing his weight on the stick, twisting his head and looking around, and said as if talking to himself, "The field of vision here is very wide. I think you can see it on a clear day." To Mount Fuji.”

"T-Teacher Otomo!" Harutora shouted in surprise.

"Oh, Harutora, it's too late to apologize." Otomo replied with a gentle smile on his face, and then turned his head, one by one, from Tsuchimikado Natsume, Tsuchimikado Harutora, Ato Tou'er, and Momoe Pegasus. , Kurahashi Kyoko, Dairenji Suzuka, Juku Nagasaki Yumi, as well as Isayama Yomi and Tsuchimiya Kagura, who were somewhat unfamiliar to him, swept over them and stopped on the imprisoned dragon.

Seeing the dragon, Otomo smiled slightly, then turned around, put the prosthetic foot of his right foot next to his left foot, straightened up, held the crutch in his right hand and raised it in front of him, and closed it with his left and raised hand, He made a greeting to Daoman, similar to how an ancient minister met his superior or a descendant met his elders, and said, "Master, I feel infinitely honored to see you again. Do you still remember me?"

"I'm very impressed. After the farce a few days ago, I'm very sorry for putting the trouble on you." Doman replied easily.

"The thing about the curse on the search officer and the horned ghost was really done by the mage?"

"Hehe, hehe, I made you laugh and was taken as a joke by that man, that's about it."

"What happened to the friend from that time? Are you not with you today?"

"That guy is not an old friend, he just has a bad relationship. However, he is a very curious guy. Maybe he is hiding somewhere and peeping now."

"I see. It seems that unlike the mage, it has nothing to do with the Two-Corner Society."

"What, are you just trying to trick Lao Chan? Well, Lao Chan and that guy do have a relationship of mutual help, but in this case, Lao Chan acted arbitrarily."

"Oh? Forgive me for being rude, but I heard that someone's shikigami made a mess over there in the Onmyo Hall."

"So, that was done by the old man too. I didn't expect that this would be a grand banquet that happens once in decades." After a pause, Ashiya Michitoshi continued, "In short, the current old man has been [consumption] to a considerable extent. ], is this true? Therefore, all the important protectors have been sent over there. At least your eyesight has become better compared to the last time we met. Well, you can notice it without saying anything."

At this time, the Dayou Formation was not responding as easily as before.

"At that time, you just ran away blindly, so you couldn't compete as much as you wanted. In the end, you lost one of your legs."

Even in the face of Dao Man's behavior that was obviously exposing scars, Dayou Zhen's face still showed no strange color at this time, and even the spirit in his body was still as calm as water, as if he was at this moment Not like in this world.

"Etiquette..." the school principal muttered to himself in a low voice, somewhat self-deprecatingly.

The "ritual" mentioned by the head of the school at this time refers to a state, a situation when the priest empties all his emotions and enters the inhuman non-wave state when performing an act similar to the Star Festival. It is a kind of "mental method" that is the basis of Onmyoji, but it is difficult to master the spirit.

"Of course, I don't need to be deceitful?" Daoman, who explained the past, continued, "I just have a pure sense of terror and cannot make such a judgment. If I don't have ice-like calmness and stand at a higher level, You shouldn’t choose to escape at all costs. This is especially true for a spellcaster like you.”

"The true value of yourself and the true value of the old man. Based on your calm judgment, even if you sacrifice a leg, you still adopted the [escape] strategy. In fact, your judgment is correct. It is an annoying but admirable escape." Woolen cloth."

"I'm sincerely frightened." Dayou Zhen said politely.

"This time it won't be like last time... No, I won't let you escape again." Saying this, Daoman's body immediately burst out with powerful spiritual pressure. Shan Huangquan looked at it through a layer of barrier, but it still caused some reactions in his body. Even the sealed Shasheng shivered slightly as if he was about to wake up from a deep sleep.

"At that time, the old man had not yet designated you as an enemy, so you could escape. But from another perspective, your behavior can also be said to be sacrificing and keeping your cards. You did not show any skills in front of the old man and only handed over one leg. You can escape. In short, this just shows that you and Laochan [mean to fight again]? You are using a bitter trick to win the next time, isn't it?"

"Mage. I'm still a junior. I just occasionally do something stupidly that I think is right." At this time, Dayou Zhen finally answered, and said with a hint of fear in his words.

"What, the matter is over, there is no need to hide one's capabilities and bide one's time."

"No, no, this is the truth without any falsehood."

"Humph, that's fine. At least, you didn't [deny]."

Dayou Zhen slowly raised his head and met Daoman's eyes.

"After traveling in this world for hundreds of years, most things have become commonplace, and my heart rarely feels excited. It should be said that I saw old age at the age of three. Now I just need to practice the spell. After all, it is only [there] left. An old soul..." Master Daoman said with a cold sneer.

Dayou Jin lowered his hands and lifted the "ceremony".

"It doesn't matter. You won't abandon your disciples. More sideshows are just what I want." Before Dayou Zhen could speak, Master Daoman said first.

"Mage." Dayou Zhen called with a slightly changed expression. (To be continued...)
