[Comprehensive] Goddess Event Book
Chapter 54
Anna's enchantment is very frightening, and what's even more frightening is that she doesn't have much awareness of it.
"Speaking of which, Anna." Kakaiin Yaji's gaze was indescribable: "Is this the enchantment technique you used to replace the sealing technique?"
Kyoto was perfectly protected, and the miscellaneous monsters in the sky were chased by Kakaiin Masaji and later, and the [-]-year-old group of Hanakain led by Kakaiin Akibo solved them.Anna's enchantment is also perfect, without any fish slipping through the net to jump to the ground.
And now, at Kikyo House, the originally good date of the two has added Huakaiyuan Qiufang and an eighty-year-old brother named Huakaiyuan Hongo.From the point of view of his heart, Masaji Kakaiin refused - he may have forgotten that even before, there was still Mori, and the two were not dating at all.
Ms. Jingshan didn't seem to be surprised that Huakaiyuan Qiufang and Huakaiyuan Hongo suddenly appeared, and quickly changed the menu, increasing the weight of two people.
"Use the enchantment technique just now instead of the sealing technique?" The hand holding the tea bowl paused, and Huakaiyuan Qiufang looked at Anna with a very academic look, as if he wanted to re-understand what kind of monster this is. .
"What year is this a joke?"
Huakaiyuan Qiufang didn't question Anna's strength, what he questioned was Anna's IQ.
As a professional Go player, IQ is definitely the last thing Anna has to defend, even if she is a scumbag, this is the same.
"Don't feel so surprised, okay! Isn't it allowed for one person to be biased? And friend, be friendly, I'm just a newcomer who has been in the industry for less than a year!" Anna snapped back angrily.
Qiufang of Huakaiyuan is not angry, his temper is considered to be a very good one... well, although some arrogance of a genius is inevitable, compared to sitting in a room now, it has spread throughout the Huakaiyuan' Ego Yaji', he basically had nothing to say.
Some people even speculated that if the family hadn't selected Huakaiyuan Long Er as the heir, maybe Qiu Fang wouldn't even have that bit of twisting--although Long Er was also very strong, but he and Qiu Fang would not be able to deal with each other in the end. Which one is stronger is an open question.
And the people around Qiufang told him since childhood that he will definitely take over the family in the future and become the next generation'Xiuyuan'.His life started like this, and now tell him it's not like that, Longer is the next generation of 'Xiuyuan', it's really hard for people to accept it calmly.
"I have been in the industry for less than a year..." Qiu Fang frowned slightly. He has the most typical male and female appearance, with long white hair, bright red eyes, and slender eyebrows. Even when he is not smiling, his eyes have a natural demeanor circulation.Anna felt a little embarrassed when she frowned, wondering if she said something wrong.
This sentence made Yaci look at Anna more: "How come... I remember we started discussing spells a long time ago."
"That." Speaking of this, Anna scratched her chin in embarrassment: "When I was a child, my abilities were sealed, and I couldn't see those. I was a resident of the other shore, so I have never been sure whether the things my master taught me are true. It was probably in March this year that your ability began to show in Japan, before, I actually thought that Yaji came here because you liked folk culture."
In fact, this is a very polite way of saying it. After all, the real situation is that Anna regards Yaci as a 'two-year-old boy'!
"Puchi!" Huakaiyuan Qiufang couldn't help laughing, his eyes narrowed: "Ah, folklore lover? It turns out that Yaci has been misunderstood like this before."
Anna looked at the smiling Huakaiyuanqiufang, for some reason, she felt that his brows and eyes were a little familiar, but after searching through the memories in her mind, she was sure that she had never seen him before.
Because of thinking, Anna had already wrinkled her face into a dry look, holding her chin and looking at Qiufang Huakaiyuan one after another.
Of course, no one would misunderstand that she likes Qiufang with her expression, but this kind of strange attention still made a certain youth from Huakaiyuan who was present secretly upset.
"Speaking of which, I really have a lot of fate with Huakai Yuan recently." Unexpectedly, Anna threw away her thoughts and remembered another matter.
"Yesterday, the Kyoto government held a reception at the hotel. At that time, I met Mr. Hato and Hanakaiin. Today, I obviously met Yaji, and I realized that Yaji is also Hanakaiin. Now we know each other—?"
"Qiufang Huakaiyuan, you can call me Qiufang. After all, if you call Huakaiyuan, you will not know who you are calling." Huakaiyuan Qiufang reminded me very understandingly.
"I am Hongo of Huakaiyuan, and I am also an onmyoji of the [-]th rank of Huakaiyuan. Just call me Hongo."
In fact, it is strange to be called by a name for the first time, but these Huakaiyuan people grew up in a big house since they were young, and almost everyone they met had the surname Huakaiyuan.In this atmosphere, everyone is called by their first name, and they are used to it.
Otherwise, if you ask a 'flower blooming yard' to go down, either everyone will turn around, or there will be no response.
"Hey, my name is Liu Anna. I am a professional chess player now, but I have a part-time job as a priestess of a small shrine, and the main scope of activity is Tokyo." Anna followed suit and introduced herself accordingly.
Huakaiyuan Qiufang was stunned: "Liu Anna? May I ask Liu Mingmei and Liu Lianer are you?"
"It's my sister and brother." Anna was also taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously replied.
"Oh~" Huakaiyuan Qiufang lowered his head meaningfully, and when he looked up, the smile on his face became more sincere: "You may not know, but I am your cousin, cousin Anna..."
Everyone was confused, until Huakaiyuan Qiufang was advanced enough to explain that Anna's aunt's younger sister was married to a rich local family in Kyoto.The eldest aunt obviously didn't tell Anna which family this big family was before, but now she knows, Huakaiyuan is divided into [-] families.
It is indeed a big family. They live near Nijo Castle, and their ancestors even lived in it. That is the place where the Emperor once lived.
The relationship between this cousin is actually a bit far-fetched, Huakaiyuan Qiufang is the real cousin of Liu Lianer and Liu Mingmei, but not Liu Anna's.But if you say no, you can't generalize it. If there is contact between the two sides, Anna must have followed Liu Lianer and Liu Mingmei to call people, that is 'cousin'.
A good interview turned into overtime work, which Yaji tolerated. After all, when these monsters will go wrong, who knows?But what the hell is it now!Become a confession?It would be strange if Masaji Huakaiyuan could be happy!Obviously this is their long-arranged meeting.
Like Yaji, Anna's mood became strange. If it was introduced by her aunt and the others, it might be a little more natural.Now... all I can say is, I understand the truth, but what do you want from me?
"Anyway, what happened just now, such a large-scale monster?" Anna changed the subject abruptly. You must know that the large-scale occurrence of monsters has nothing to do with her, and she actually has no interest in it.
"Because it's almost Chinese New Year, right?" Mori Toshiro replied subconsciously while eating his snacks.
He can also be regarded as a sword that has been active for many years, and such common sense things can't trouble him.He struggled to gesture to Anna: "Even during the Chinese New Year, the monsters are always extra excited, and they often cause riots."
This is explaining the series without explaining it. Anna also knows that monsters are active during the Chinese New Year. Her question is why it is so frequent.
In December, there is another name with a deep meaning in Japan, called 'Shizou'.It means that there are many ceremonies hosted by mages in various places this month, so mages are extraordinarily busy and need to move around.
So what exactly is the festival that takes place in December—there are all kinds of festivals, but if you look at the source, the most common type is to get rid of evil spirits and protect oneself.
Just like Chinese New Year, this is a festival to celebrate the killing of the 'Nian Beast'.In addition to the meaning of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, the most common point is to get rid of evil spirits and get the protection of the gods in the coming year.
Then, conversely, why should we emphasize exorcising evil spirits on the last day of the year, or even the whole month?This is a very simple logical reasoning, and the answer is almost obvious.
Of course it's because monsters are active this month.
There is a concept of "dark sun" in Chinese sayings, which is the last day of each month-because this day is when the moon is at its dimmest, this is also the abbreviation of "dark moon".According to the saying, there is no light on this day, and the Lord is fierce.Later, this saying, like many other cultures, spread across the ocean to Japan.
And the last day of the last month of each year, that is, New Year's Eve, is called the "big dark day".As the name suggests, it is really the most dangerous of all dangers. On this night, firecrackers must be fired to scare the 'ghosts'.
But in fact, the last month has been affected by the 'Great Dark Day' and has become very dangerous.
Don't say that Japan lives in the Gregorian calendar year. In the beginning, this was indeed a cyclical change due to the influence of the lunar calendar moon.But when human influence is involved, even the natural forces of creation shy away.
For the people of Dongying today, December in the Gregorian calendar is the "Shi Zou", and December 31 in the Gregorian calendar is the "Great Darkness Day".
The mysterious side is idealistic, and Anna has already experienced it in less than a year.
Anna's inquiries were fruitless, but she didn't want to ask this herself. If she was really that curious, she could just ask her master.For such a professional question, she still believed in her master.
Huakaiyuan Qiufang probably also realized Anna's embarrassment, raised his eyebrows, then let him go, and turned to Huakaiyuan Masaji: "Communicate with Anna? You didn't do anything unnecessary, did you?"
The Huakaiyuan family is a big family, and it is normal for two family members to be unfamiliar with each other.However, after they are as good as Huakaiyuan Qiufang and Huakaiyuan Yaji, there will definitely be more opportunities for intersection.So Qiufang and Yaci are not as familiar with Ryuji, but they are familiar.
Yaji knew what Qiufang meant—you didn't reveal the secret of Huakaiyuan, did you?
Qiu Fang was actually not very defensive against Anna, but Yaci's abnormal behavior was so obvious that he wanted to tease this cousin-this is simply the traditional bad taste of Huakaiyuan.
"Ahem." Yaci was embarrassed. Although according to his memory, he didn't touch the red line, but he thought about it before, and now he felt guilty.
There was still something that Qiufang didn’t understand, so he immediately smiled and looked at Anna: “Is Anna free recently? Huakaiyuan is short of manpower and is recruiting foreign onmyojis. If you want to deepen your understanding of sealing techniques, there is no better place than this The time is more suitable... Yaji should be very happy."
The last sentence was obviously a question, but it was said in an affirmative tone.
Anna hesitated. Logically speaking, she has always prioritized Go over supernatural. This time it is the work of the chess academy. How can she catch fish?But the reality is that without Qiufang's invitation, she also wants to fish.The work of the Chess Academy and Go are two different things. Doing publicity for the government is really boring!
"What time? If it doesn't conflict with the arrangement of the Chess Academy."
The uncle's family arrived in Kyoto the next day, and they praised Anna for wearing kimonos all the time in Kyoto.In Anna's view, she is just a tourist attraction for novelty, and has no other meaning.But this is not the case for the uncle's family - they have always been afraid that Anna's ties to Huaxia will be too deep, and they will leave Dongpu after they reach adulthood.
And Anna has such a good acceptance of Japanese culture, which is a good signal for them.
"There are many famous temples here in Kyoto, so let's go to worship at that time." Liu Lianer smoothed out the creases on Anna's shoulders.
Anna pursed her lips, and slowly ate the wagashi that Liu Mingmei's sister had specially bought in line, with some white flour sticking to her lips.She was thinking how she would refuse this matter.
"Probably not. My current identity is an envoy of the gods. I should not be able to worship other gods except my god."
It is impossible for Japan's multi-faith god system to make too many demands on the beliefs of believers, but it is different when it comes to the level of envoys, because these envoys often directly represent his gods—a god Going to worship another god, does the god do something?
Liu Lianer knew about Anna's supernatural affairs, and also knew that she was running a shrine now. Except for some regrets, everything else was fine.
Liu Lian Er accepted the calligraphy, and Anna lowered her head—she was lying just now!
Yes, she can be regarded as an envoy of God, but in fact, she is even more of a god.Although this is absurd, there are indeed examples in Dongpu who were regarded as gods because of their strong spiritual power when they were alive. I heard that these people will be accepted by Gao Tianyuan as official gods sooner or later.
At the beginning, Anna was quite resistant to becoming a god... It's not that being a god is bad, it's just that she suddenly said that she wanted to become a god, and she was a little at a loss when she thought about it!
Later she learned what the Japanese gods are, and what the Japanese "human gods" are, and she calmed down.Oh, this is far from the god she imagined.
Her current identity is closer to that of a god, but she herself feels that she just took a god's household registration book, and she is still a person in essence-don't laugh, she really has an identity verification in Gao Tianyuan, so she can Not some nameless wild god!
Although I don't know what will happen if one god worships another god.But judging from Honosuke's intentional prohibition, I'm afraid there won't be any good results.She is not the protagonist of a TV series, and she is afraid that the plot will not continue, and she will die if she does not do it.So she is very well-behaved and never set foot in this minefield...
I explained to my uncle's family that there was a year-end party with my friends on New Year's Eve, and Anna went out smoothly—probably they thought that Anna came here with the chess academy, and they thought it was with other professional chess players, so they agreed so readily.
Actually no, Anna is going to be part of the 'teacher walk'.On the last day in Kyoto this year, as in previous years, it is still full of demons and ghosts!
"Maori, let's go!"
Mori Toshiro, who had been hiding under the eaves, seemed to appear suddenly, but in fact it was just an illusion caused by too fast movements.The short knife is most alert at night, and now it is his home field.
The sharp sword energy rippling out, everyone would think that this is a dangerous person.However, this little ghost had a playful expression on his face, and he elongated his voice: "Yes——my lord!"
For this kind of assistant who looks harmless on the surface but is actually sharper than anyone else in drawing knives, Huakaiyuan Qiufang can't explain it in words: "It's strange that Sword Fusangshen is a child."
When he said this, Maori just drew a circle with the blade, and then cut off all the monsters besieging him.The little short knife was the most agile, with a light jump, the knife also shook, blood fell on the snow, and bright flowers bloomed.Mori Toshiro, who jumped on the tree, couldn't see how fierce he used to be at all, only a little blood was stained on his boots.
"Appearance doesn't matter." Mori Toshiro didn't always look like a child. Where Anna couldn't see him, he was closer to a Fusangshin who had lived for many years.
"I'm going to assist my lord!" After casually dealing with Qiu Fang, Maori jumped to Anna's area.
Qiufang didn't even have time to stop it—seriously, Anna and Yaci are in charge of sealing and barrier matters. In short, they are supporting them, and they are protecting them!There's no fighting there at all!
But there is no way, who let people be the binding output of Anna.Akibo sighed, commanding Shikigami to continue fighting.
"Fushouliu · Golden Pavilion Sealing Technique." Kakaiin Masaji made a gesture with his hands, clapped his hands together, and finally made a seal on the ground where the talisman had already been drawn.
This monster turmoil was caused by the loosening of a certain seal on the monster on the day of the Great Dark Day, and all the sealed monsters ran out.Others are destroying monsters, but the number is really too much, and it feels endless.That's why people from Fushouliu were called to act together - they needed to re-strengthen the seal.
"Anna!" Yaci called out to Anna.
Of course Anna understands, in order to prevent the fish that slipped through the net from escaping, she is the one who checks and fills in the gaps.And after observing a certain sealing technique of Huakaiyuan Fushouliu, Anna also knows how to reciprocate.
Gently shaking a string of beads in his hand, a strange bell sounded.Unlike usual, people around can't hear it, but it has an effect on ghosts. This time, people around can basically hear it very clearly.
One sound merged with the [-] bells of the Baoen Temple in the distance, but it was not covered by the grand and distant bells. The bells appeared in a faintly visible way with a peculiar rhythm.
Combining Anna's incantation and the spells arranged in advance, a barrier appeared all over the sky, not only the monsters outside could not enter, but also the monsters inside could not go out.
Then Kakaiin Masaji made a move, the light of the seal lit up, and there were golden lines on the whole land, and then gradually dimmed from far to near.In the end, only an inch-sized area around Yaci of Huakaiyuan was still lit, and when this small piece of light was also extinguished, it would be considered complete here.
"There are broken households in the south coming to ask for help, you go there first... Our [-]th Liu people here are here to finish." Qiu Fang is actually the actual owner of the [-]th Liu, and it is very easy to arrange for Ya Ci and Anna.
Yaci actually wanted to say, why should I do what you say?Yashiliu, who is stationed in the first seal Nijo Castle, tacitly knows that perhaps he is closer to his family than Fushouliu, who is stationed in the third seal Kinkakuji Temple, and has a more important position.But in the final analysis, in name, they are just the eight major divisions that are on equal footing.
If Kakaiin Masaji is sincerely convinced by Huakaiyuan Qiufang, it's nothing to listen to his orders, but Kakaiin Masaji is also considered the conceited one among the geniuses in Huakaiyuan, how could he be sincerely convinced by Qiufang!
It's just that in Qiufang's arrangement, he acted with Anna, so he hesitated.It was this hesitation, and there was no chance of rejection.
Anna looked at the sky. From the eyes of ordinary people, it was the night of New Year's Eve, and it was no different from usual.The city below is filled with joy and celebration on this day, with lights turning night into day.But in the eyes of people like them, I'm afraid they will gasp, the sky is full of demons and ghosts, densely packed and impenetrable.
"As expected of Kyoto, the thousand-year-old magic capital." Anna let out a sigh of relief, regardless of the strength of these monsters, just this number is astonishing.
"When I was in Tokyo before, I rarely saw monsters. It was only a few days in Kyoto, which far exceeded the sum of Tokyo."
Kakaiin Yaji reluctantly twitched the corner of his mouth, of course he could see it in his eyes.Shining to the point of Anna, unless it is a really difficult opponent, the monsters will avoid Anna. Do you really know how to be afraid if you are a monster?
"Perhaps because of the 'fox', a big seal in Kyoto has begun to loosen, and other monsters are of course ready to move." Yaci revealed something vaguely.
Anna nodded, not sure if she understood, but sighed when she looked at the sky: "It's really rampant!"
"Speaking of which, Anna." Kakaiin Yaji's gaze was indescribable: "Is this the enchantment technique you used to replace the sealing technique?"
Kyoto was perfectly protected, and the miscellaneous monsters in the sky were chased by Kakaiin Masaji and later, and the [-]-year-old group of Hanakain led by Kakaiin Akibo solved them.Anna's enchantment is also perfect, without any fish slipping through the net to jump to the ground.
And now, at Kikyo House, the originally good date of the two has added Huakaiyuan Qiufang and an eighty-year-old brother named Huakaiyuan Hongo.From the point of view of his heart, Masaji Kakaiin refused - he may have forgotten that even before, there was still Mori, and the two were not dating at all.
Ms. Jingshan didn't seem to be surprised that Huakaiyuan Qiufang and Huakaiyuan Hongo suddenly appeared, and quickly changed the menu, increasing the weight of two people.
"Use the enchantment technique just now instead of the sealing technique?" The hand holding the tea bowl paused, and Huakaiyuan Qiufang looked at Anna with a very academic look, as if he wanted to re-understand what kind of monster this is. .
"What year is this a joke?"
Huakaiyuan Qiufang didn't question Anna's strength, what he questioned was Anna's IQ.
As a professional Go player, IQ is definitely the last thing Anna has to defend, even if she is a scumbag, this is the same.
"Don't feel so surprised, okay! Isn't it allowed for one person to be biased? And friend, be friendly, I'm just a newcomer who has been in the industry for less than a year!" Anna snapped back angrily.
Qiufang of Huakaiyuan is not angry, his temper is considered to be a very good one... well, although some arrogance of a genius is inevitable, compared to sitting in a room now, it has spread throughout the Huakaiyuan' Ego Yaji', he basically had nothing to say.
Some people even speculated that if the family hadn't selected Huakaiyuan Long Er as the heir, maybe Qiu Fang wouldn't even have that bit of twisting--although Long Er was also very strong, but he and Qiu Fang would not be able to deal with each other in the end. Which one is stronger is an open question.
And the people around Qiufang told him since childhood that he will definitely take over the family in the future and become the next generation'Xiuyuan'.His life started like this, and now tell him it's not like that, Longer is the next generation of 'Xiuyuan', it's really hard for people to accept it calmly.
"I have been in the industry for less than a year..." Qiu Fang frowned slightly. He has the most typical male and female appearance, with long white hair, bright red eyes, and slender eyebrows. Even when he is not smiling, his eyes have a natural demeanor circulation.Anna felt a little embarrassed when she frowned, wondering if she said something wrong.
This sentence made Yaci look at Anna more: "How come... I remember we started discussing spells a long time ago."

"Qiufang Huakaiyuan, you can call me Qiufang. After all, if you call Huakaiyuan, you will not know who you are calling." Huakaiyuan Qiufang reminded me very understandingly.
"I am Hongo of Huakaiyuan, and I am also an onmyoji of the [-]th rank of Huakaiyuan. Just call me Hongo."
In fact, it is strange to be called by a name for the first time, but these Huakaiyuan people grew up in a big house since they were young, and almost everyone they met had the surname Huakaiyuan.In this atmosphere, everyone is called by their first name, and they are used to it.
Otherwise, if you ask a 'flower blooming yard' to go down, either everyone will turn around, or there will be no response.
"Hey, my name is Liu Anna. I am a professional chess player now, but I have a part-time job as a priestess of a small shrine, and the main scope of activity is Tokyo." Anna followed suit and introduced herself accordingly.
Huakaiyuan Qiufang was stunned: "Liu Anna? May I ask Liu Mingmei and Liu Lianer are you?"
"It's my sister and brother." Anna was also taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously replied.
"Oh~" Huakaiyuan Qiufang lowered his head meaningfully, and when he looked up, the smile on his face became more sincere: "You may not know, but I am your cousin, cousin Anna..."
Everyone was confused, until Huakaiyuan Qiufang was advanced enough to explain that Anna's aunt's younger sister was married to a rich local family in Kyoto.The eldest aunt obviously didn't tell Anna which family this big family was before, but now she knows, Huakaiyuan is divided into [-] families.

Liu Lianer knew about Anna's supernatural affairs, and also knew that she was running a shrine now. Except for some regrets, everything else was fine.
Liu Lian Er accepted the calligraphy, and Anna lowered her head—she was lying just now!
Yes, she can be regarded as an envoy of God, but in fact, she is even more of a god.Although this is absurd, there are indeed examples in Dongpu who were regarded as gods because of their strong spiritual power when they were alive. I heard that these people will be accepted by Gao Tianyuan as official gods sooner or later.
At the beginning, Anna was quite resistant to becoming a god... It's not that being a god is bad, it's just that she suddenly said that she wanted to become a god, and she was a little at a loss when she thought about it!
Later she learned what the Japanese gods are, and what the Japanese "human gods" are, and she calmed down.Oh, this is far from the god she imagined.
Her current identity is closer to that of a god, but she herself feels that she just took a god's household registration book, and she is still a person in essence-don't laugh, she really has an identity verification in Gao Tianyuan, so she can Not some nameless wild god!
Although I don't know what will happen if one god worships another god.But judging from Honosuke's intentional prohibition, I'm afraid there won't be any good results.She is not the protagonist of a TV series, and she is afraid that the plot will not continue, and she will die if she does not do it.So she is very well-behaved and never set foot in this minefield...
I explained to my uncle's family that there was a year-end party with my friends on New Year's Eve, and Anna went out smoothly—probably they thought that Anna came here with the chess academy, and they thought it was with other professional chess players, so they agreed so readily.
Actually no, Anna is going to be part of the 'teacher walk'.On the last day in Kyoto this year, as in previous years, it is still full of demons and ghosts!
"Maori, let's go!"
Mori Toshiro, who had been hiding under the eaves, seemed to appear suddenly, but in fact it was just an illusion caused by too fast movements.The short knife is most alert at night, and now it is his home field.
The sharp sword energy rippling out, everyone would think that this is a dangerous person.However, this little ghost had a playful expression on his face, and he elongated his voice: "Yes——my lord!"
For this kind of assistant who looks harmless on the surface but is actually sharper than anyone else in drawing knives, Huakaiyuan Qiufang can't explain it in words: "It's strange that Sword Fusangshen is a child."
When he said this, Maori just drew a circle with the blade, and then cut off all the monsters besieging him.The little short knife was the most agile, with a light jump, the knife also shook, blood fell on the snow, and bright flowers bloomed.Mori Toshiro, who jumped on the tree, couldn't see how fierce he used to be at all, only a little blood was stained on his boots.
"Appearance doesn't matter." Mori Toshiro didn't always look like a child. Where Anna couldn't see him, he was closer to a Fusangshin who had lived for many years.
"I'm going to assist my lord!" After casually dealing with Qiu Fang, Maori jumped to Anna's area.
Qiufang didn't even have time to stop it—seriously, Anna and Yaci are in charge of sealing and barrier matters. In short, they are supporting them, and they are protecting them!There's no fighting there at all!
But there is no way, who let people be the binding output of Anna.Akibo sighed, commanding Shikigami to continue fighting.
"Fushouliu · Golden Pavilion Sealing Technique." Kakaiin Masaji made a gesture with his hands, clapped his hands together, and finally made a seal on the ground where the talisman had already been drawn.
This monster turmoil was caused by the loosening of a certain seal on the monster on the day of the Great Dark Day, and all the sealed monsters ran out.Others are destroying monsters, but the number is really too much, and it feels endless.That's why people from Fushouliu were called to act together - they needed to re-strengthen the seal.
"Anna!" Yaci called out to Anna.
Of course Anna understands, in order to prevent the fish that slipped through the net from escaping, she is the one who checks and fills in the gaps.And after observing a certain sealing technique of Huakaiyuan Fushouliu, Anna also knows how to reciprocate.
Gently shaking a string of beads in his hand, a strange bell sounded.Unlike usual, people around can't hear it, but it has an effect on ghosts. This time, people around can basically hear it very clearly.
One sound merged with the [-] bells of the Baoen Temple in the distance, but it was not covered by the grand and distant bells. The bells appeared in a faintly visible way with a peculiar rhythm.
Combining Anna's incantation and the spells arranged in advance, a barrier appeared all over the sky, not only the monsters outside could not enter, but also the monsters inside could not go out.
Then Kakaiin Masaji made a move, the light of the seal lit up, and there were golden lines on the whole land, and then gradually dimmed from far to near.In the end, only an inch-sized area around Yaci of Huakaiyuan was still lit, and when this small piece of light was also extinguished, it would be considered complete here.
"There are broken households in the south coming to ask for help, you go there first... Our [-]th Liu people here are here to finish." Qiu Fang is actually the actual owner of the [-]th Liu, and it is very easy to arrange for Ya Ci and Anna.
Yaci actually wanted to say, why should I do what you say?Yashiliu, who is stationed in the first seal Nijo Castle, tacitly knows that perhaps he is closer to his family than Fushouliu, who is stationed in the third seal Kinkakuji Temple, and has a more important position.But in the final analysis, in name, they are just the eight major divisions that are on equal footing.
If Kakaiin Masaji is sincerely convinced by Huakaiyuan Qiufang, it's nothing to listen to his orders, but Kakaiin Masaji is also considered the conceited one among the geniuses in Huakaiyuan, how could he be sincerely convinced by Qiufang!
It's just that in Qiufang's arrangement, he acted with Anna, so he hesitated.It was this hesitation, and there was no chance of rejection.
Anna looked at the sky. From the eyes of ordinary people, it was the night of New Year's Eve, and it was no different from usual.The city below is filled with joy and celebration on this day, with lights turning night into day.But in the eyes of people like them, I'm afraid they will gasp, the sky is full of demons and ghosts, densely packed and impenetrable.
"As expected of Kyoto, the thousand-year-old magic capital." Anna let out a sigh of relief, regardless of the strength of these monsters, just this number is astonishing.
"When I was in Tokyo before, I rarely saw monsters. It was only a few days in Kyoto, which far exceeded the sum of Tokyo."
Kakaiin Yaji reluctantly twitched the corner of his mouth, of course he could see it in his eyes.Shining to the point of Anna, unless it is a really difficult opponent, the monsters will avoid Anna. Do you really know how to be afraid if you are a monster?
"Perhaps because of the 'fox', a big seal in Kyoto has begun to loosen, and other monsters are of course ready to move." Yaci revealed something vaguely.
Anna nodded, not sure if she understood, but sighed when she looked at the sky: "It's really rampant!"
