================================================== ==

Ruan Zhan looked at Gangcun Kenji's body and frowned.

This is not the result he wants, this is trouble. There is a person hiding in the dark to 'help', looking like he is trying to muddy the waters.

In the hotel not far away, there was no sign of the barrier being broken. Besides the dead Japanese lying on the ground, there were also two white pillows that he used when pretending to be Xiaoxia and trapping the evil spirits. But The charm above has been broken.

Two soft pillows fell accurately and directly on top of Kenji Okamura's head from a ten-story building a few hundred meters away on a windy winter night. It was beyond human power.

against the wind!

Of course he understood what was going on. Originally, in Japanese Onmyoji, headwind refers to a spell that goes out of control and backfires on its owner. Warlocks with relatively low spiritual power are prone to this phenomenon when using advanced incantations. In some cases, they may be injured, and in more serious cases, they may die. But in today's situation, it was clear that someone had broken the spell and allowed the evil ghost to invade Okamura Kenji's body from above his head, and then eat his soul. At that time, because Okamura had suffered heavy losses in both physical skills and fighting skills, he was in a timid and shocked state mentally and mentally. Moreover, he accepted the evil ghost as a shikigami in a hasty and reluctant manner, so he was easily eliminated. .

The reason why we say he was 'annihilated' instead of using the more understandable word 'dead' is because his soul was actually absorbed by evil spirits. When the police find his body, they will find that, except for him The traces of his fall showed no external injuries, and could only be explained as sudden death from unknown causes. That's fine. Okamura Kenji's death will not cause legal trouble. The problem is only with the person who secretly manipulated it and the evil ghost who escaped.

It eats Okamura Kenji's soul, which is equivalent to absorbing his spiritual power. It will be more powerful and difficult to capture, and there is no telling where it went. Of course it won't be far away, but the already powerful ghost may continue to do evil in City A. Unfortunately, the incident happened suddenly and his spell was not finished yet, so he had no time to catch it again!

It can be said that the timing of the manipulating the secret was quite good.

Okamura Kenji is just a bait. He can probably guess who is behind the scenes, but he doesn't know what that person is going to do and how to proceed?

Ruan Zhan sighed, knowing that this matter was not easy to solve, so he had to leave first and then make plans. He first picked up the two pillows and prepared to take them back. Then he found the missing dagger and threw it into the river not far away before returning to the hotel.

"How is it?" Xiaoxia asked hurriedly as soon as she came out of the barrier.

"Kenji Okamura is dead." Ruan Zhan replied calmly.

"Dead - dead?" Xiaoxia was startled, "Did you really beat him to death?"

"He is indeed dead!" Before Ruan Zhan finished speaking, Xiaoxia suddenly turned around and left. He had no choice but to grab her, "Where are you going?"

"Destroy the corpses and traces and destroy the evidence!" Xiaoxia looked firm and vowed to break the law, as long as Ruan Zhan was saved.

What a reckless girl!

Ruan Zhan sighed again and briefly told her what happened tonight.

"Onmyoji? I've seen this in cartoons. He seems very handsome." Upon hearing that the death of the Japanese had nothing to do with Ruan Zhan, Xiaoxia immediately threw the matter aside without any sympathy, "But What’s that Yin-Yang Dao thing you’re talking about?”

"Let's talk in bed." Ruan Zhan said, and immediately realized that this was a bit ambiguous, but Xiaoxia didn't respond as if she had no nerve. She just refused to sleep on her own bed because an evil ghost had been imprisoned there just now, so Ruan Zhan had no choice but to Exchange with her.

"In Japan, Onmyoji can be said to be diviners or illusionists. It is said that they not only know how to observe stars and read people's faces, but they can also measure directions, identify disasters, draw talismans, recite incantations, and perform illusions. Regarding the power that people cannot see, For example, fate, souls, and ghosts all know their origins and have the ability to control these things. The Onmyodo I just mentioned is an organization formed by Onmyoji who gathered together. It is a hidden sect that has been passed down for a long time. Legends in Japan During the barbaric period, there were many ghosts everywhere. These people mainly focused on destroying them and also presided over the work of clearing away evil spirits. Japanese onmyoji usually ignored the secular world and mainly dealt with ghosts, but they also protected the Japanese royal family. They Those with high status, whether they are in the military or government officials, should be very respectful, even humble, to them."

"I heard it originated in China, right? These Japanese treat teachers like this!" Xiaoxia snorted from her nose.

"Yes, Japan's 'Yin Yang Dao' is indeed originated from the Yin Yang and Five Elements theory during the Chinese Hundred Schools of Thought. It has some origins with Chinese Taoism. At that time, during the Warring States Period, there was a school of thought that advocated Yin Yang and the Five Elements theory. It was called The 'Yin-Yang Family' is represented by Zou Yan and Zou Shuang from Qi State. The theory of Yin-Yang regards Yin and Yang as two coordinating forces of mutual growth and decline within things, and believes that they are the laws of generation that give birth to all things in the world. This is exactly What Laozi, the founder of Taoism in my country, said is the concept that constitutes the world. That is to say: Tao gives birth to one, which gives birth to two, which gives birth to three, and which gives rise to all things. The Yin-Yang Five Elements Theory mixed Taoist mantras and esoteric fortune-telling and was introduced to Japan. After landing in Japan, it penetrated into some local culture, thus forming the unique "Yin-Yang Way". Onmyoji has always been a A very popular magic. People at that time often invited onmyoji to pray for them and remove spirits. It is said that scrolls about onmyoji can still be found in some ancient temples to this day. In the Japanese comics you just mentioned, those spirit exorcists We also use onmyoji, right? This shows how widespread onmyoji is in Japan."

"Wow, you are very knowledgeable! I never noticed that before. I thought you knew how to mix drinks and smile nicely."

Xiaoxia's words made Ruan Zhan couldn't help but smile, thinking that this was Yue Xiaoxia's speaking style, half complimentary and half derogatory, yet so straightforward.

"I have long seen that there is something wrong with Kenji Okamura, so after checking the information, it is not that I am knowledgeable." Ruan Zhan said, "He is an onmyoji, but his magic power is not high. I guess he is doing it for the purpose of closing the ceremony." God, it’s a pity that he should not be restrained and still want to fulfill his shikigami’s wishes in China!”

"If I had known, I wouldn't have told me!" Xiao Xia was a little dissatisfied. "That's the bad thing about you as a man. You keep everything you say in your stomach and don't discuss it with others. What a nice man who loves to talk, like Wanli."

"I wasn't sure at the time." Ruan Zhan lied. He actually didn't want her to worry. And with her righteous temperament, she might have picked up a knife and chased Okamura Kenji on the spot. "I only found out today that the evil spirit is a shikigami adopted by the Japanese. I just don't know how it suddenly appeared."

"What is a shikigami? Is it that ugly thing in the cartoon that pops up whenever you talk about it?"

"Shikigami is a type of Japanese puppetry, which uses its own spiritual power to summon other creatures. Different from puppetry, it operates living creatures, which is very similar to Western summoning. Yin and Yang Shikigami usually practice Shikigami, which are captured ghosts. Of course, the specific operation method cannot be known, but it can be speculated that they should use spells and mental control to do it. Moreover, the existence of Shikigami is one with the caster. .The stronger the spiritual power of the caster, the more powerful the shikigami can exert. The shikigami recognizes its master through some special rituals. Once the shikigami recognizes its master, the shikigami will be used by it. When the shikigami is recovered , the shikigami needs to recognize the master's ability. Once recognized, he must imprison the shikigami in some special way."

"That red lacquered wooden box!" Xiaoxia suddenly remembered it. She seemed to have seen it before in a trance. At that time, she only thought it was beautiful. Today, she heard Ruan Zhan say that it might be something to imprison evil spirits, and she felt very disgusted. "What a perverted person, using such a beautiful thing to put such a terrible soul!"

"Very discerning! Under those flowers are prayers, which suppress the evil spirit of the Shikigami. In fact, his ability to absorb the evil ghost is very reluctant, so when he has the chance, the evil ghost eats his soul instead." Ruan Zhan There was a sense of pity in his contempt, "These are some of the consequences you have to bear when practicing shikigami."

"But you just said that you don't know how that shikigami suddenly appeared. Do you really have no clue?"

Ruan Zhan shook his head.

He had been suspicious of Xiaoxia's sudden involvement in this matter from the beginning. If Xiaoxia's life experience is simple, then this incident may be because of him. From this we can infer that Yang Muyou was the one causing trouble behind the scenes. After all, he failed to eliminate him when he had such a good opportunity last time, and now he has left him somewhere unknown.

After tonight, he was almost certain that Yang Muyou was secretly controlling everything. With his sinister personality, he would not fail to seek revenge for being hunted down and having his plot foiled. Besides, he was so aggressive, how could he let go of someone who might be his lifelong enemy.

He had asked Wan Li to investigate Boheng Company, and it was clear that there were no problems. But there must be a reason behind why the company asked Xiaoxia to come at this time. After returning home, he might want to pay a visit to this company, although he knew that with Yang Muyou's cunning, he would not reveal his flaws so straightforwardly.

The most important thing is the origin of the evil ghost.

But now it has escaped. Although it cannot be as far away from City A, it may still do evil, so we must find a way. It has absorbed Kenji Okamura's spiritual power, so it will be difficult to find it. Only by finding its source can it be truly and completely eliminated.

However, these days may not be so peaceful!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pursue Yang Muyou. This bastard actually took advantage of the fight between him and Okamura Kenji for his own selfish reasons to let the evil spirit go and let it become so powerful. I don't know how many innocent people would be harmed by this!

But there was nothing he could do! It would be nice if his natural spiritual power hadn't been sealed for so long and could be released faster. He thought this, not realizing that this was the first time he viewed his ability so positively.

"Isn't it Yang Muyou who is doing something behind his back?" Xiao Xia asked suspiciously.

She's not stupid.

She knew that if she could release the ghost that Ruan Zhan had imprisoned, he must have some Taoist skills, and he wouldn't be strong enough to break the barrier that protected her. After thinking about it this way, although there may be other bad guys, the only ready candidate is Yang Muyou.

"His name is not Yang Muyou, it is just the name of the person he possesses, even Hong Haohao."

"I know, but it's more convenient to call him like this before he finds a new host for his parasite!"

"That's right." Ruan Zhan replied.

Many questions awaited him.

Why involve the Japanese? What is the origin of evil spirits? Where is ‘Yang Muyou’ possessed and what is his new identity? Who is he really like? What does it have to do with myself?

Lots and lots - like a mess!

The only thing that is certain is that someone will suffer again, and Yang Muyou's skills are far from recovered, so it is impossible to fight him directly! Otherwise, Xiaoxia would have been unsafe just now!
