Onijuran, who was brought to Ise Jingu since he could remember, knew better than anyone the weight of the so-called "fate". When a young girl was told that she was one of the few people who would decide the future of the world, she didn't have too much trouble. There is a lot of realism, but as she understands more and more, as her power grows and uses, she feels more and more clearly-what is the power of "Tianlong", because of this, she Day after day, I understand more and more clearly what is on my immature shoulders.

Gui Julan has long realized that she may die in the battle of fate, so she is looking forward to the emergence of "hope" more than other shrine maidens in Ise Jingu, looking forward to a "hope" who can shoulder the future of "Ise Jingu". hope".Not without guilt, the Ise Shrine should have been her duty as a "hidden priestess", but Oni Julan also took on a more important duty on top of that, so she couldn't take care of both.As the fateful day approached, such guilt and anticipation grew stronger. At this time, a person really appeared.

Saikiya brought back "Kyoko", the descendant of "Kaguya's Chitose Princess" from Kyoto.

"Kyoko" inherited Chitose Hime's lineage, has rare talents in the world, and does not have the impetuousness, laxity, and vanity that young girls outside are used to. Cultivation will also be done quietly, hard, and brilliantly.

Before Zhai Gong officially introduced "Jingzi" and "Ghost Julan", "Ghost Julan" had already secretly seen "Kyoko".She watched how the other party mastered the use of divine power in an unbelievably short time, and Dengping crossed the water like walking on flat ground.

This rapid progress did not make Gui Julan feel "envious", only relieved.

——Yes, "Ghost Curse Lan" also tried to learn the "Divine Deed Technique", but failed at the most basic step.Although her body hides the true divine body of Ise Shrine and all the spiritual power of Ise, and although she can create "enchantment", she has no "divine power".

At that time, Zhai Gong sighed and said, this is also fate.

Yes, this is fate too.

It is destined that Guijulan can only be the dragon of the sky, and it is destined that there will be a new priestess who will become the hope of Ise Jingu, which will make the long-silent "Divine Deed" of Ise Jingu shine again.

Gui Julan didn't force "Jingzi" to answer immediately, because she also knew that if such a promise was made, it would mean paying her whole life. "Jingzi" is not a "Tianlong" who was born with a fate of no choice like herself, she has the right to choose.

Gui Julan waited quietly.

Shiina Kyo remembered that dream again in a trance.

The dream of being burned by the flame of the red lotus, the dream of only the dark world, flying white feathers, and blood-stained cherry blossoms.

【You are destined to be unable to coexist with this world, either the world will destroy you, or you will destroy it.If you try to resist this fate, that flame...is your future. 】Is this fate?

Even though he didn't go to Tokyo, fate made an announcement to him again in another way, as if to say: look, the girl in front of you is one of the dragons of fate, you can't escape the fate of sky dragons and earth dragons .

It took a long time for Shiina Kyo to recover from the shock of fate. He comforted himself: Now that the demon sword has not moved, it doesn't matter even if you ignore the "fate".He tried his best to ignore the uneasy voice somewhere in his heart, forcing himself to believe that there would be no problem.

Only then did Shiina Jing look at Gui Ju Lan, and replied in an apologetic tone: "Lan Ji, I'm very sorry, I think I may not be able to take on such a heavy responsibility."

There was obvious disappointment in Gui Julan's eyes, but she didn't make any accusations. She forced the corners of her mouth, as if she wanted to smile to ease the atmosphere, but failed in the end, and her expression was fixed on the sadness of about to cry.That clear emotional display lasted less than three seconds before being retracted by the well-trained maiden, and Gui Julan returned to a calm and slightly indifferent appearance.

"...It doesn't matter, this is... what I can't do. It doesn't matter if Jing Ji doesn't need to think about these things, as long as she continues to practice... If the 'Divine Deed' can become famous again, the status of the Jingu will be correspondingly stable. From just now From Kagura Wu’s perspective, Jing Ji can already skillfully use the power of divine deeds, right? As long as she matches the corresponding spells, I think Jing Ji can try to summon some low-level gods.”

Shiina Kyo was stunned for a while, and smiled unnaturally.

"...The mantra, Zhai Gong has already taught me, it's just..."

Ghost Julan looked at Shiina Kyo suspiciously.

"only?"

"Hmm...Lan Ji, the divine contract technique is...to summon the gods and make the gods come to you, right? Then..." Shiina Jing said a little uncomfortably, "When the time comes, who will control the body's actions? Me and the gods Will my will coexist in this body, or 'I' will sleep? If the 'God' controls this body, that means, everything about 'I' will be unreservedly presented in the eyes of the 'God'?"

Gui Julan stared at Shiina Jing with those big black glass-like eyes for a long time, then suddenly smiled.

"So that's it. It's not that Jing Ji can't use the 'Divine Deed' technique, it's likely that she stopped at the last step of 'He Shen'?"

Shiina Kyo's face turned red.

"...Well, I tried it once the day I learned the spell, and I once summoned one of the dozens of mountain gods here. Then, I... dare not continue to chant 'Heshen' to make the gods and myself one... After a while, the mountain god went back."

Gui Julan was amused by the embarrassment, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

"Sure enough, you have excellent aptitude. The first time you used the divine contract technique, you summoned a god. But, Jingji, Zhai Gong should have mentioned the origin of the divine contract technique when teaching you the divine contract technique?"

"Yes, the witch prayed to the gods, made the gods descend, and borrowed divine power to change the world."

"Since that is the case, the one who uses divine power is of course the Miko herself. If the Miko doesn't use that power with her own will, how can it be said to be 'borrowed'?"

Gui Julan couldn't help rubbing Shiina Kyo's hair.

"Like what you said, your own will is asleep and your body is completely controlled by the gods. This is purely as a psychic asking the gods to descend. This is the 'god descending technique'. Willingness, it is just a simple "God's descent". "God's descent" is completely different from "God's contract". The "God's descent" may even be the body of the god, but the "God's contract" summons The gods you have are not complete gods, and you will not have strong claims. It can be said that what you summon is only a part of divinity and divine power. How much of that 'part' depends on how much the god you summon is willing to lend you. strength."

Only then did Shiina Kyo realize that she had made a joke, and was worrying about things that she didn't need to worry about in vain.

"...Thank you very much for Lan Ji's guidance."

Gui Julan blinked her eyes, stared at the other party for a while, and suddenly said: "However, there will be very occasional cases where a witch who is favored by the gods will use the divine word technique to summon the god's body—or That is to say, that god is willing to lend all the divine power to the priestess for use. In the past, when Chitose Hime summoned the Dragon God, she was able to fully summon..."

Shiina Kyo was very surprised that his mother had such power. He understood a little bit why his mother was given the title of "Kaguya" - that is the legendary beauty who can radiate brilliance, illuminate the night, and is calm, elegant and wise.

Since the divine contract spell only summons divinity and power, there is nothing to worry about.

Shiina Kyo smiled and said, "I will work hard to practice the Divine Deed Art."

Gui Julan nodded seriously.

"I believe in Jingji. You can learn the magic contract technique in three months... this has never happened in a hundred years. It is also very rare to be able to practice Kagura dance to this level in just half a month. Jingji now has nothing but the magic contract technique and the Kagura dance. , what else have you learned?"

"Hmm... The Zhai Palace asked me to concentrate on practicing the Divine Deed and not to be distracted, so I didn't teach anything. I taught myself a little bit of the 'Wind Art' in the Five Elements spell, and I haven't read the others yet."

"... Zhai Gong really has high expectations for Jing Ji."

Shiina Kyo was made a little strange by Gui Julan's exclamation.

"Lan Ji, why do you say that?"

Gui Julan turned his gaze to the direction of the shrine.

"Jingji has been practicing alone, so I don't know... In fact, the starting point of Jingji's cultivation is much higher than that of ordinary apprentice priestesses. At present, all the cultivations you are doing are the items in the '72 disciplines of priestesses'. Mizukami Meditation, waterfall purification, needle mountain meditation, rock climbing with bare hands, enduring hunger and thirst, lonely trials..."

Shiina Kyo trembled subconsciously every time she heard the name of a project.

I don’t know how many times he was drowned in the first meditation practice on the water. When he was washing under the waterfall, he was washed by the near-zero water flow to the point of freezing. Needless to say, his hands were bloody and bloody, his body, legs, knees, and feet were bruised and bruised. Enduring hunger and thirst made him feel that he was challenging the limit of survival, and the lonely trial was the easiest...

Sometimes he really doesn't want to recall the past few months.

Blood and tears every word.

"...No wonder...I have always felt...the training items are very difficult...I even thought about whether all witches are so powerful and have been trained like this..."

Only then did Gui Julan feel a little similar to his peers, and his eyes flashed with narrow brilliance.

"Jing Ji just thinks it's 'very difficult'? In fact, there are some items that most witches have difficulty passing after several years of hard work. Even in the Jingu, there are only a handful of people who have passed all 72 trials. Jing Ji We have completed the twelve more difficult trials so far, there is no need to worry about the simple ones, maybe the Zhai Palace will directly let Jingji challenge the most difficult ones."

Shiina Kyo remembered the names of the 72 trials that Saigong had introduced to him, and said in a flat tone: "The most difficult...the Huangquan trial...?"

Gui Julan was taken aback, "Has Zhai Gong ever told Jing Ji? The most difficult thing is the trial of hell, but before that, you have to go through the trial of obliterating the five senses. Generally speaking, the first choice is to obliterate vision 'Trial of Darkness'."

"Destroy vision..."

Shiina Kyo imagined a life invisible to the eyes, and trembled unknowingly.

Gui Julan didn't continue talking, and turned the topic back to the Kagura dance, correcting some details of Shiina Kyo's gestures and postures, and then the two tried to dance a Kagura dance together.

In the early morning of the next day, before the sun rose, Shiina Kyo was summoned to the inner room by the fasting palace.

The last thing he saw was Saigong's plain white finger pointing towards the center of his brow.

Then everything went dark.

Zhaigong smiled and said: "Kyoko, today you start the 'Darkness Trial', within a month, you have to fully adapt to the life without eyes."

Shiina Kyo returned the salute calmly and gracefully, and then accidentally bumped into the door panel when going out.

Zhai Gong covered his mouth and chuckled.

"At least there can be no such obvious mistakes."
