Pawn Crossing the River

Qi Xuansu did not rush into contact with this Onmyoji from the Tsuchimikado style. This place was too weird, and this Onmyoji looked unusual all over. Who knew if this only "surviving" Onmyoji could be a trap.

"Xiao Yin, is this Onmyoji a human or a ghost?" Qi Xuansu asked.

Xiao Yin glanced at him and said, "It's a human being."

Although in terms of strength, Qi Xuansu and Xiao Yin are probably between equals, they each have their own strengths. Xiao Yin's perception ability is far better than Qi Xuansu's, and she is particularly sensitive to Yin Qi. At this point, there is almost no Wrong.

Qi Xuansu then stepped forward and asked in a calm voice: "Who are you?"

The onmyoji who had been wandering suddenly stopped, turned his head numbly, and looked at Qi Xuansu: "I am Tsuchimikado Tadaka."

There was no emotion in his voice, not ruthless, but like the sound of a machine, without the slightest ups and downs.

Qi Xuansu asked again: "What are you doing here?"

Tadaka Tsuchimikado continued to reply dully: "We respect the order of the Prime Minister and go to Suzuka Mountain to see Suzuka Gozen."

"Have you met Suzuka Gozen?" Qi Xuansu asked.

According to the Onmyoji who returned to the camp, although they arrived at Suzuka Mountain, they did not see Suzuka Gozen and encountered the shrine on the way back. The ambush resulted in heavy casualties. Now it seems that many of Tsuchimikado Onmyoji's words contained false reservations. They did not mention that there was another Tsuchimikado Onmyoji who was left behind in Suzuka Mountain, let alone the strange scene in Suzuka Mountain.

Why did they hide the strange scene in Suzuka Mountain? Could it be that the current appearance of Suzuka Mountain is related to the Onmyoji of Tsuchimikado? If this is the case, it makes sense that the Onmyoji of Tsuchimikado deliberately concealed some of the facts in order to cover up his sins.

Tadaka Tsuchimikado looked up at the heights of Mount Suzuka, his tone no longer dull, but rather a bit confused: "We didn't see Suzuka Gozen, we failed the Prime Minister."

"Us, who among us is this?" Qi Xuansu looked around again, trying to find the second living person.

Tsuchimikado Tadaka was silent.

Qi Xuansu continued to ask: "Where is your companion? Did he die somewhere? Or did he leave but leave you here?"

Tsuchimikado Tadaka suddenly held his head with both hands, bent down, and his expression became ferocious and twisted: "We... they... we met, met..."

Qi Xuansu also bent down and asked, "What did you encounter?"

The next moment, Tsuchimikado Tadaka suddenly raised his head, his eyes were red, saliva was dripping from the corners of his mouth, and his nails quickly grew long and dark.

Xiao Yin's voice sounded at the right time: "He will change from a human to a ghost now."

Qi Xuansu cursed.

This land is truly evil and can turn people into ghosts at every turn. It is simply a land of disgust and a country of ghosts.

Xiao Yin opened his mouth again, grinning all the way to the base of his ears, revealing a pair of white fangs, and was about to bite off Tsuchimikado Tadaka's head.

"The origin of this ghost thing is unknown. Don't eat it randomly. If you eat it, I won't be able to save you." Qi Xuansu stopped her immediately.

Xiao Yin reluctantly closed her mouth.

At this moment, Tsuchimikado Tadaka had completely lost his mind and rushed towards Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu was not polite and cut him in half with one sword.

The left half fell to the left, and the right half fell to the right. There were still strands of mucus entangled between the two, a bit like the threads of a sweet potato.

Xiao Yin probably also thought of this kind of delicacy and smacked his lips, not happy.

Qi Xuansu looked around for the third time, and suddenly felt that the surrounding scene looked familiar: "Xiao Yin, do you feel that this place is similar to the ruins outside?"

Xiao Yin heard Qi Xuansu's words and imitated him to look around and nodded: "From what you said, they are exactly the same. The only difference is that the villages and towns outside have been destroyed, but the villages and towns inside are still intact."

Qi Xuansu frowned and said, "Is it a mirror image? Or is it an illusion?"

Xiao Yin shook his head and said, "It's hard to say."

Qi Xuansu looked at the body of Tsuchimikado Tadaka: "Where have all the residents here gone? Why was Tsuchimikado Tadaka left alone here? I have a feeling that the vision that happened here is related to Tsuchimikado's Onmyoji." ”

Xiao Yin said nothing.

She is very knowledgeable because Mr. Yin teaches well and has read thousands of books. However, she rarely goes out and has never traveled thousands of miles, so she has great limitations. She didn't know Feng Linzhou very well, at least no more than Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu looked up at the sky and suggested, "Let's fly up and have a look?"

"Okay." Xiao Yin is never afraid of taking risks because he can be reborn from the "Emperor Willow".

The two of them jumped into the air and flew towards the direction Tsuchimikado Tadaka was looking at just now.

At the same time, colorful brilliance began to emerge on the sky. It did not look like clouds, but more like a Western oil painting, and even felt a little oily.

Qi Xuansu felt strong uneasiness in his heart and directly used his Dharma Body. Under the wrap of divine power, he felt a little more at ease.

Xiao Yin's face also became serious, and she obviously felt something was wrong.

The two of them flew higher and higher. The villages and towns under their feet had turned into small dots, but the peak of Suzuka Mountain was still out of reach. Based on the two people's flying speed, the height of Suzuka Mountain was almost as high as the Yuxu Peak of Kunlun Mountain. .

How can this be?

After reaching a certain height, there will inevitably be a violent wind, but the two of them did not feel the slightest bit of wind.

This shows one thing. Although the two of them flew for a long time, they did not fly to a certain height. Either this space was stretched by some kind of formation or spell extension, causing the effect of the Lookout Mountain killing the horse, or It was the two of them who kept spinning in circles, trapped in the maze.

This situation is far worse than encountering a ghost on the ground.

At this moment, a bright moon quietly peeked out half of its face from behind the strangely colored dark clouds.

Qi Xuansu and Xiao Yin froze for a moment under the moonlight.

The moonlight became brighter and brighter, eventually illuminating the entire world and obliterating everything.

Qi Xuansu suddenly fell into a trance, came back to his senses, and looked at the shrine in front of him that was covered with various talismans.

Xiao Yin suggested: "Go in and take a look?"

Qi Xuansu asked subconsciously: "Do you know what's inside?"

"I don't know." Xiao Yin shook his head and said, "Just pull off all these ghost talismans, then open the door and take a look."

Qi Xuansu frowned, feeling as if he had heard these words somewhere before, and said: "It's so weird here, if the seal is opened rashly..."

Xiao Yin said: "This is Suzuka Mountain. Maybe the Suzuka Gozen you are looking for is sealed inside. If you don't open it and take a look, wouldn't you miss it? Then how can you go back to deliver the mission?"

Qi Xuansu felt that what Xiao Yin said made sense, so he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull. To his surprise, there was no resistance and he pulled it open easily. The seals were in vain.

Behind the door of the shrine is a cave. Qi Xuansu took out the "Nine Yang Lihuo Shield" and walked into the cave.

It was extremely quiet in the cave, with only the sound of dripping water, like the sound of the hands of a clock.

Tick ​​tock is every moment.

After passing through the dark cave, the eyes suddenly opened up.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Yin, have you read "The Story of Peach Blossom Spring"?"

Xiao Yin said: "Of course I have read it. What you want to say is this paragraph: 'It was very narrow at first, and then it became accessible to people. After walking dozens of steps, it suddenly became clear. The land is flat and vast, the houses are neat, and there are fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees, and bamboos." '"

Qi Xuansu always felt that the village in front of him was somewhat familiar. When the two entered the village and found it empty, Qi Xuansu did not even feel the slightest surprise. Instead, he felt that it should be like this.

Qi Xuansu followed his deep intuition and went straight to the depths of the village, where he found a Tsuchimikado Onmyoji who was wandering back and forth. His expression was dull, he looked like a machine man, and he looked like he was sleepwalking.

A name came to Qi Xuansu's mind and he blurted out: "You are Tsuchimikado Tadaka."

The wandering Onmyoji Tsuchimikado suddenly stopped and slowly turned his head to look at Qi Xuansu. His eyes suddenly changed slightly: "Who are you? Why do you know me?"

Qi Xuansu didn't know why he met the Tsuchimikado Onmyoji who was meeting him for the first time, but the strange thing was that he was not satisfied with the appearance of the Tsuchimikado Onmyoji. He was not surprised at all, just like he was not surprised that there was no human figure in this "Peach Blossom Spring".

In this situation, it is as if he has been to a certain place in a dream. When he actually goes there, he will have a vague feeling of déjà vu.

It feels familiar, but if I think about it carefully, I can't remember anything.

This is so weird.

Qi Xuansu still said: "I am Qi Xuansu of the Taoist sect. I have met you in the camp."

"Daomen...Xingying..." Tsuchimikado Tadaka murmured, "Are you...my companion?"

Qi Xuansu said: "You can say that."

"Companion...companion..." Tadaka Tsuchimikado fiercely hugged his head, "You abandoned me, you left me here alone, you, you..."

Mikado Tadaka suddenly raised his head, his eyes were red, saliva was dripping from the corners of his mouth, and his nails quickly grew long and dark.

Qi Xuansu said almost at the same time as Xiao Yin: "He will change from a human to a ghost now."

Xiao Yin glanced at Qi Xuansu in slight surprise, as if he was surprised that Qi Xuansu reacted so quickly this time.

Tadaka Tsuchimikado roared, and the onmyoji on his body was torn and shattered vertically. His whole body swelled to more than ten feet in height, his muscles bulged like rocks, and his veins popped out.

Because Xiao Yin glanced at Qi Xuansu, she didn't open her mouth immediately.

Qi Xuansu did not draw his sword immediately.

However, Tsuchimikado Tadaka still roared and rushed towards the two of them.

Qi Xuansu said: "Don't kill him, find a way to trap him."

Xiao Yin responded, stretched out his hand a little, and shot out a thin black line, which disappeared into the center of Tsuchimikado Tadashi's eyebrows.

Tadaka Tsuchimikado was not controlled by Xiao Yin like the miko, but fell to the ground with a crash, stirring up a circle of dust.

Qi Xuansu and Xiao Yin came to Tsuchiyamon Zhongxiao and checked carefully, finding that he had lost all his breath.

The two couldn't help but look at each other.

Because Tsuchimikado Tadaka was not looking towards the peak, Qi Xuansu did not try to fly into the air, but chose to look for clues in the village.

Time passes little by little.

I don't know when a colorful brilliance appeared in the sky, and a bright moon quietly peeked out half of its face from behind the strangely colored dark clouds.
