Zongman: My Junior Sister is Kikyo

Chapter 1

Japan, Warring States Period.

Once upon a time there was a mountain.

Mount Azusa.

Mount Azusa is a sacred mountain located in the territory of Musashi Province. It is shrouded in white mist all year round and is a sacred mountain full of mystery.

There is a temple on the mountain.

Mount Azusa Sacred Temple.

The temple was built halfway up Mount Azusa. It is not large, about the size of a football field. There are not many buildings. In addition to a main hall enshrining a strange longbow, there are only two guest houses and a utility room.

There are two half-grown boys (girls) in the temple.

Lu Li.

Male, 14 years old, parents unknown. He mysteriously appeared at the door of the temple twelve years ago and was discovered and raised by the old witch in the temple.

And, just now, an extraordinary voice seemed to ring in his mind.

【Ding——】

【Detected that the host has contacted a special person: Platycodon】

【The system has been activated.

Kikyo.

Gender: Female, 12 years old, from Kaede Village, Musashi Province. Because she was born with spiritual power far beyond that of ordinary people, she was discovered by the old witch in the temple and was brought to this Azusa Mountain. She is considered the successor chosen by the old witch.

"So, according to the rules, you should call me senior brother first."

"Yes, brother."

【Ding, you get the initial recognition of the special character: Kikyo】

【Course recognition: 10】

【You get recognition reward: Zanpakuto (shallow strike)】

【Please keep up the good work, host】

……

Lu Li and Kikyo's communication was limited to greetings.

They were not very familiar with each other.

Because she heard that there were monsters in the outside world, the always busy old witch hurried down the mountain after bringing Kikyo to the Zishan Temple. However, before leaving, she left Kikyo with a lot of"homework"."——Those blank rectangular pieces of paper are Kikyo's homework for the next month. She needs to draw various patterns on them in the correct way to create various"talismans" with different functions.

Exorcism talismans, demon-sealing talismans, demon-breaking talismans, lightning-strike talismans... Lu Li doesn't really know much about talismans, after all, the old witch never taught him these things.

To be precise, the old witch has never taught Lu Li anything about"eliminating monsters."

The always serious old witch is an authentic"traditional" witch. She has preserved the exorcism secrets that have been passed down from ancient times, and vowed to pass on this knowledge only to her only disciple.

Kikyo is her only disciple, and is the witch who is destined to make the name of"Zishan" resound throughout the world in the future.

"Although he is still very young, he has extraordinary talent."

"Should I say, she is worthy of being called"Gigen"?"

Looking at the way that Kikyo was making the talisman seriously, Lu Li couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this little Lolita in a shrine maiden's costume really has a unique talent.

Not only is she born with superhuman spiritual power, but she also learns skills so quickly. Even without anyone teaching her, she can easily imitate a few"examples" made by old shrine maidens. After only one day on the mountain, Kikyo had already mastered the method of making talismans. Although the success rate was not 100%, six or seven out of ten could always succeed.

Even for those shrine maidens who have achieved success in cultivation, such a success rate is already considered very good.

However, as the price of this"fast learning"

"——"Clang."

A sudden sound rang out, and Lu Li turned around in surprise, and found that the little witch who had just been concentrating on drawing the spell, had fallen to the ground as if her body was out of her control and she was unconscious.

Her body was overdrawn.

After a day of high-intensity drawing, her spiritual power, physical strength, and mental strength had all reached the bottom.

This is the danger of not being taught.

"Tsk, that old lady, leaving so much homework"

"Look how tired the child is."

Lu Li muttered, and carried the little witch, who made no sound except for her weak breathing, to the old witch's room and covered her with a blanket.

"Crunch——"

After closing the door gently, Lu Li looked back toward the eastern sky. The sun had not yet risen, but a little light could already be seen between heaven and earth.

A day had passed.

The old woman had not returned yet.

……

In fact, the old witch often did not go home.

This was an era when demons were rampant. There were so many demons at the foot of the mountain that you could encounter them even if you walked with your eyes closed.

In this situation, as a professional"demon hunter", the old witch was of course very busy.

It was okay when Lu Li was a child, because she had to take care of the children, the old witch would come back at least once a day. But when Lu Li grew up and learned to live and cook for himself, the old witch returned to her original state, often going out for ten days or half a month.

Sometimes, she would even go out for two or three months without coming back.

"I heard from the old lady that she is going to Kyoto this time?"

"I don't know how long it will take."

As a time traveler, Lu Li probably has this geographical knowledge in his mind: Kyoto in this era is equivalent to Kyoto in the future, and Musashi Province where he is now is equivalent to Tokyo in the future.

But how far is Tokyo from Kyoto? How long does it take to walk there?

Sorry, Lu Li has no such concept.

"Fortunately, there is enough food."

"At least it’s enough for me and the little witch to eat for two or three months."

In the side room, two bags of corn were the reason why Lu Li could stay in the temple peacefully. In addition, the golden finger that had been silent for fourteen years and once made Lu Li think it didn’t exist gave him a great surprise.

""Zanpakuto."

Lu Li thought about it, and an ordinary samurai sword appeared in his hand. It looked nothing special.

Lu Li knew that this was because the Zanpakuto had not yet awakened. The unawakened Zanpakuto was just a sharper weapon. To unleash its true power, the owner of the sword needed to write his spirit and beliefs into the sword, making it the"only" Zanpakuto.

——There is a feeling of"injecting DNA"

"But then again"

"In Bleach, is there a special power that can be used without awakening the Senpakutō?"

"It seems to be called... Ghost Dao?"

The time traveler who was looking forward to more things had an idea.

【Ding, you have triggered the mission: Ghost Way Learning (I)】

【Mission target: Platycodon】

【Mission requirements: Tap the forehead (0/99)】

【Mission Reward: Breaking the Way 1: Rush】
