I’m a Witch In Dongying - Chapter 609

After Chiyo finished making breakfast, the family sat in the dining room in the inner room of the shrine and began to have breakfast together.

After eating, Bai Shuiqiu went back to the house to pack up and make the final preparations before leaving.

About half past seven.

Because it is still early, the temperature on the mountain is still a little low.

The slightly cold morning wind swept across the mountain, driving the leaves to whistle. A few thin rays of sunlight passed through the trees and leaves on the mountain and fell on the open space in front of the shrine, leaving a mottled spot of light.

However, there was already a row of people standing at the entrance of Tianmu Shrine.

In addition to those who lived in the shrine, such as Shirai Shuiqiu and Keiko Kamidai, Kanako also rushed over by bus early, the purpose was to see Shirai Shuiqiu off.

This rare scene even attracted a group of wild foxes in the back mountain of Tianmu Mountain, squatting beside them shaking their heads, looking curiously.

A similar scene happened once in a few days.

Just before Baishuiqiu went to Tokyo.

But this time, it is the real goodbye, and it may even be a “separation” in another sense.

“Then, the shrine side will be handed over to Grandma and Keiko first.”

“Don’t worry, everyone, I will be back from Sakura City soon. For the past few days, you should stay on the mountain first, don’t go out at will, and the shrine will temporarily close to prevent ulterior motives. people come here to make trouble.

With the “Yang Yan Evil Extermination Formation”, ordinary evil spirits cannot pass through the torii to enter the shrine. If there is any situation, please contact the countermeasure team, and they will come to help as soon as possible. “

Bai Shuiqiu raised the corners of his mouth and spoke softly in an understated tone.

——Most of the main force of the countermeasure team is pressed on Lantern Mountain, but there are still some people outside to maintain the situation. It is still possible to draw a team to support Tianmu Mountain.

It must also be done, because this is what Bai Shuiqiu put forward to the countermeasure team in advance.

But even after hearing her say that, Chiyo and Keiko’s expressions were still not relaxed.

Chapter 836 Return to Lantern Mountain

Chiyo’s lips trembled, and finally she swallowed what she wanted to say, then stepped forward and hugged Bai Shuiqiu in her arms, and said softly: “Be careful on the road, Qiu-chan, Keiko and I, and Asuka will be there. The house is waiting for you to come back. And…

This action will cause a lot of trouble for you. I know this request may be a bit excessive, but I still hope that you will do your best to bring Xiaoqiu back, no matter what she becomes. “

The last sentence was said to Jiufeng Shion and Yunu.

“Don’t worry, I will bring Xiaoqiu back safe and sound.”

Jiufeng Ziyuan nodded and agreed, speaking in a rare serious tone.

Rain Girl also nodded slightly, her face was as flat as ever, but the temperament exuded by the whole person was equally serious.

Seventy years ago, she followed Shirazu Sana to do such an action once, and this is the second time.

Although because of her personality, the woman in green is not good at words and has never promised anything, but for her, Bai Shuiqiu’s survival is also the first, no matter what the cost.

Then, Keiko Kamidai also walked in, hugged Bai Shuiqiu gently, and also put a few words of “be careful” in her ear.

But the hug didn’t last long.

After all, Chiyo, who is an elder, hadn’t been hugged for too long just now, and Keiko Kashiro had been hugging her tightly, which was not very good.

What’s more…

There are others waiting behind.

After seeing Chiyo and Keiko’s actions, Kanako and Hyuga Asuka seemed to think that this was a farewell etiquette, and it would be a bit out of place to not do it, so after looking at each other, they also stepped forward and hugged Shirai Shuiqiu one by one. , and told her a few words of blessing such as “take care”, which made Bai Shuiqiu feel a little unnatural.

It was obvious that he was going to fight the monster, how could he make it seem like he was going to study abroad…

“Then, grandma, Keiko, Asuka and Kanako, see you in a week.”

Bai Shuiqiu finally waved his hand, and then walked briskly all the way down the mountain.

This time, there is no need to bother Jiufeng Shiyuan as the driver, because the special team’s car has already arrived at the foot of the mountain and waited.

Xiping Kojiro was wearing another member of the special team to stand by. When he saw Bai Shuiqiu and Jiufeng Shion and his party coming down the mountain, he bowed to say hello to her, and then followed after she and the old monster and others got into the car in turn. Sit in the car.

The two cars drove out from the foot of Tianmu Mountain and galloped all the way in the direction of Sakura City.

It was different from when I went to Tokyo a few days ago.

This time, Bai Shuiqiu brought almost all of Tianmu Shrine’s belongings.

——All the six shikigami including Rain Girl and Shion Wushi, the most precious magic weapon in the entire shrine, the God Sword? utensils, plus the **** of rain, the **** of rain worshiped by the Baishui family for generations…

If it was in ancient times, if such a lineup was dispatched in full, I am afraid that it would not be a problem to fight one or two small countries to become kings on their own.

But in the face of such unfathomable opponents as Black Mud and White Lotus, it was still not enough.

But “sufficient” is a false proposition.

In particular, Bai Shuiqiu, as a traveler from China, suffers from the “fear of insufficient firepower” brought over from his hometown. No matter how many cards he accumulates, he will only think that there are too few but not too many, unless he is looking at one. Star Destroyer…

But in that case, I might have to worry about encountering the ultimate evil that can’t even be killed by a star destroyer, and can survive in outer space.

But no matter what, at the moment, the enemy can only use his trump cards to fight against it with the utmost effort.

Forty minutes later.

Shirai Shuiqiu once again came to the mountain area at the junction of the two cities of Narita and Sakura.

Then, under the **** of the special service team, we drove along the rugged mountain road towards Lantern Mountain.

Before reaching the front, Bai Shuiqiu saw the silhouette of the mountain shrouded in the hazy mist from a distance.

The last time she came here was in June this year, in order to deal with the White Lotus Sect rally.

Almost half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. After such a long time, the overall appearance of Lantern Mountain has not changed. It is still a hazy white mist, but the scene around the mountain has completely changed.

Before reaching the peak of the mountain, Bai Shuiqiu saw drones and helicopters flying around in the sky.

Most of them are the former, presumably to investigate the situation on the top of Lantern Peak.

And the latter…

It is probably used for the convenience of going up and down the mountain. After all, the entire Lantern Mountain is shrouded in fog, even if most of the monsters dormant in it have been removed by the countermeasure team one after another, but in such a foggy environment, Going up and down the mountain is still a very time-consuming thing, or the helicopter that goes straight up and down is more convenient.

Anyway, this thing is not a fighter jet. Even if it is an armed helicopter equipped with weapons, the cost is not very high. It can be mass-produced with the resources of Dongying alone. In the name of the countermeasures teams in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Chiba, a team will be called. It’s still easy to get approved.

And after coming to the front.

Bai Shuiqiu even saw that the small yard used by the White Lotus Sect to hold the meeting had been requisitioned by the countermeasure team and turned into a temporary stronghold.

There were a lot of people inside and outside the three-story building. Some were wearing special team uniforms, some were wearing hunting or monk robes, and a few were wearing Self-Defense Force uniforms, probably Lu Zi’s officers. After all, Rie Asakura had said before that he would apply for fire assistance from the Self-Defense Forces.

But of all these scenes, the most striking is the square in the small courtyard.

It was actually refurbished and transformed into a temporary “airport”.

– Not a large airport with tracks, but a tarmac for helicopters.

Standing on the square and looking around, several hilltops around Lantern Mountain have also been installed with some launching devices, and I don’t know whether the ammunition loaded in it is a howitzer or a missile or something.

There were people walking back and forth around all these launchers, adding up to the visual appearance of hundreds of people.

In addition to the people in the stronghold, in the helicopter cabin, and at the top of Lantern Mountain, I am afraid that the total number of people in this area of ​​Lantern Mountain has exceeded 200. With all kinds of weapons and equipment, it seems to be a small military base.

“It seems that Sister Lie and the others have done a lot during this time…”

Bai Shuiqiu blinked, watching these unexpected changes, his mouth clicked.

Chapter 837

Jiufeng Ziyuan next to him also folded his hands on his chest, looked at the scene around him indifferently, and then sighed silently:

“Although it looks spectacular, the actual effect of these arrangements is probably not very big… It’s better than nothing.”

Bai Shuiqiu opened his mouth first, then fell silent.

really……

As the old monster said, the firepower they see now is more of a psychological comfort. Although all the ammunition reserves are added up, it is more than enough to fight a small and medium-scale annihilation war, but these ordinary heat It is still unknown how much a weapon can do to monsters like the Black Mud Stream.

Not to mention the white lotus, and the “Gate of Yellow Springs” that is integrated with the black mud…

“Miss Baishui, and seniors Qingluhuo and Yunu, please come with me.”

Xiping Kojiro coughed lightly and walked ahead to lead the way.

Bai Shuiqiu and his party followed him, and soon entered the three-story building. In the lobby on the first floor of the building, they saw Asakura Asami, who had not met in Narita for some time. , and Suzuki Zhuxi et al.

“Hey, Sister Zhuxi is back too? And brother Jubei. It’s been a long time.”

Bai Shuiqiu was a little surprised.

After all, since the last time she went to Ibaraki to deal with Oda Nobunaga, she hadn’t seen Suzuki Zhuxi and Jubei for a long time.

I just contacted several times through LINE and phone, and with the help of the latter, I reached a deal with Yuqian Shrine and got two demon seal scrolls.

This time we met here, it was a reunion of old friends, and both parties were a little excited.

“It’s been a long time indeed.”

Suzuki Zhuxi smiled slightly, walked up to him and hugged Bai Shuiqiu before saying with a smile: “Thanks to Xiaoqiu, you brought Miss Rie and Mami and the others this time to destroy the Jiuju faction in the inner world. The troubles on the Ibaraki prefecture side have basically been resolved, and Jubei and I have successfully escaped and returned.

By the way, the guys from Kashima Shrine also came along as reinforcements. They are now on the top of the mountain. You should be quite familiar with Xiaoqiu. “

“Kashima Shrine…”

This Baishuiqiu has long been known in Bando City, so naturally there is no need to say more.

Then, Asakura Asami cleared her throat again and said a few words, briefly summarizing the current situation on Lantern Mountain.

In order to meet the upcoming battle, many people came to Lantern Mountain.

Some of them have already met Baishuiqiu, that is, people from Asakura in Kyoto and Tokyo, Master Tianyuan from Kiyomizu Temple and others, and the Ishida brothers and sisters from Anbo Shrine…

Many of them have cooperated with her, no matter how far or near they are, at least they can be regarded as “friends”.

There are also a group of people who she has never dealt with before, most of them are descendants of various cultivation families in Tokyo, Ibaraki, Gunma and other regions.

Many of them are not even from the countermeasure team in Tokyo and other regions, but are directly sent from those shrines and noble families. Compared with the members of the countermeasure team whose main purpose is to “experience”, the average age is relatively young. , This group is almost all middle-aged and strong middle-aged characters. Whether it is spiritual power level or experience in dealing with supernatural events, they are more profound. There are even a few “God Lord” or “Abbot” level characters.

All of these people are added together, and it is a bit exaggerated to say that they are half of the Eastern practice world, but if you add up all the forces behind them, it does include most of the Kanto and Kansai areas.

Even in the Heian era, when magic techniques were most prosperous, it was quite difficult to gather so many practitioners from different families.

At this moment, part of this group of practitioners, under the leadership of Rie Asakura, was setting up a formation on the top of Lantern Mountain, making the final preparations for the battle.

“Then… what about the Tuyumen family?”

Bai Shuiqiu thought of Qinggoro and his party.

She hadn’t seen these guys since she returned from the “Inner World” last time, and she didn’t know how they were doing.

“You said they…”

Asakura Asami curled her lips, seeming to be a little disdainful of Kiyogoro and his party: “After returning from the “inner world”, the Kyoto side sent people from Kyoto to pick up all the guys from Kiyogoro, who are currently imprisoned near Yasaka Shrine. Inside the manor, the countermeasures team guards and conducts interrogations 24 hours a day.

The remaining members of the Tuyumen family originally wanted to send people to participate in this operation, but they were firmly rejected by the Kyoto Countermeasures Team.

Who knows if they really want to commit crimes, or take the opportunity to backstab us again…

Now, these two groups of people may still be talking to each other there, and I’m afraid there will be no results in a short time. “

It also betrayed the mainstream cultivation world. The Hojo family was taken into custody by the entire clan almost overnight, and then it took a few days to raid and interrogate all the evidence of collusion with the ghost clan;

And the process of liquidation of the Tuyumen family was quite slow, which was not without reason.

After all, the name Abe Seimei made in the past year is too loud.

He is not only a powerful individual practitioner, but also a banner of the entire Eastern practice world.

Even if Qinggoro and his entourage made such a move, it is impossible for the Kyoto practice world to directly destroy them as they did with the Hojo family before. They still need to go through a tedious process to find out the truth and determine the people who are really involved… …

Even if it is finally confirmed that the contact and transaction with Guishu Ayaka and his party are instructed by the head of the Tuyumen family, there is a high probability that the entire Tuyumen will not be involved, at least a group will remain.

To put it bluntly, the “Tuyumen Family” can gradually decline, but it cannot be destroyed because of “collaboration with the Jiuju faction”.

Even if the owner of Tuyumen is neat and tidy enough, he can abandon the car and protect the commander, and throw all the responsibility to the half-crippled Tuyumen Kiyogoro or Snake Bone.

This is the benefit of a solid foundation.

If the Baishui family did not bear the “curse”, and did not cut off the inheritance twice in the middle, then the Lantern Mountain mutation 70 years ago might have been another result.

And Baishui Sana may also become a world-class practitioner like Abe Seimei, or at least Kamo Zhongyuki, and then Baishuiqiu can also lie in the shade of this aunt and live a life with someone covering her head. Unlike now, everything can only be done by itself…
