My wife's name is Platycodon

The plain-clothed shrine maiden was delighted at Kikyo's praise at first, but soon became serious: "Since you are dead, why are you still staying in this world? Let us help you become a Buddha!"

Ok? !

Kikyo was rarely able to react and was wondering what was wrong with these two girls.

Even Jialuo thought he had heard it wrong. When they came here, Kikyo highly praised the Miko Shrine, believing that each generation of the Shrine Master was worthy of respect and that they had trained many outstanding Mikos. But this is the result?

At this moment, two young witches had already begun to cast a spell. Their movements were quite agile. They took out three pieces of talisman paper from their bosoms with two fingers, and then with synchronized movements, they scattered the talisman paper and fixed it in the air.

There are six pictures in total. The witch on the left utters the three syllables "Ma, Ni, Hum", and the witch on the right also says three different syllables one after another.

As the syllables fell, the talisman paper suddenly burned fiercely, and then the two of them formed seals with their palms and shouted, "Go!"

Six burning talisman papers flew towards Kikyo.

"presumptuous!"

Kikyo's face darkened, her bright eyes widened slightly, revealing a stern expression, and she uttered two words with a bit of anger. The six talismans went out as soon as they flew into the air, and then floated to the ground limply like fallen leaves.

The two witches were dumbfounded. Why did the six-word mantra fail to work?

They didn't believe in the evil and mobilized their spiritual power to make the seal again, but it didn't work no matter what they did. It was the same as breaking their fingers. They couldn't sense the experience on the talisman paper at all.

"It's over! We've run into a tough guy." Their faces turned pale. There were a lot of talismans in the forest, and the monsters that could come here were definitely not ordinary creatures. And the dead man was not a good person either. With just one sentence, their purification skills were ineffective.

My master once said that Miko-sai has always been targeted by monsters, and now it seems that the end is finally here.

But as witches, they must be prepared to sacrifice at any time. They looked at each other and decided to resist to the death.

Kikyo looked at the two priestesses who suddenly became tragic, with expressions as if they were ready to die and were ready to sacrifice their lives at any time. She was puzzled for a moment and thought that they were not very smart.

"What are you doing? Where is the current master? Ask him to come out and see me!" Kikyo was rarely angry.

The two witches have okay eyesight, but their methods are extremely poor. They use the six-word mantra in a mess, and even need to rely on talismans for the purification technique. Their spiritual power is scattered, and even birds and butterflies are stronger than them.

How can he take on such a big responsibility when he looks like he has never fought before?

How did this master train such a bad shrine maiden?

As soon as she asked the host to come out, she was extremely arrogant.

The two people opposite looked at each other when they heard this, feeling that something was not right.

In their imagination, Kikyo should now tear off her kind disguise, reveal her true colors, and completely destroy the Mikosai amid their wailing and painful screams. Even if they are not killed, they will be imprisoned.

The plain-clothed priestess is called Momiji, and the red-clothed priestess is called Mudan, which is consistent with the names of priestesses and is named after beautiful things.

"Aren't you an enemy?" asked the Red Leaf Priestess.

Kikyo frowned: "You can't even distinguish the enemy, yet you dare to act rashly."

She has a good personality and is rarely angry, but now she feels that the two priestesses are too reckless. Fighting is no joke and one could lose their lives if they are not careful.

The Peony Witch said weakly: "Because you are dead."

"You want to expel the dead when you see them? Paranoia! What's the difference between you and those wild wizards?" Kikyo's expression was extremely stern. She thought of the monk Harumi. At that time, she had not yet broken free from the resentment. Once provoked and dominated by hatred, Harumi would definitely die.

She scolded the two of them very naturally, saying that a shrine maiden in the shrine maidens' house should not behave like this. Her tone was righteous and her brows were full of majesty. The two shrine maidens, who were already weak in their determination, soon surrendered and hugged each other and trembled.

What a scary shrine maiden, she is almost as strict as the master.

Mudan plucked up the courage to ask, "I wonder who you are."

Kikyo raised her hand and drew a Tai Chi circle in the air, but the positions of the two yin and yang fish were replaced by the sun and the moon respectively. This is the symbol of the Miko's Studio, developed by the masters of the Onmyoji Ryo. Every Miko who practices here knows this technique.

Kikyo said: "I have practiced here before, and now I have traveled here."

The two shrine maidens quickly recognized that it was their own people. They were the only two of their generation, and only the shrine maidens of the previous generation could draw this kind of pattern. They immediately knelt on one knee and said, "So it's the senior who has arrived."

Kikyo nodded. It was the same thing she had felt when she first met Cuizi. She thought that the other party was a sage from the past and a great man of an era. She deserved to pay tribute to Cuizi with the respect of a younger generation.

Japan attaches great importance to seniority and status, and has a strict hierarchy, which is reflected in many aspects. Japan has a high level of cultivation and a higher status, and is qualified to receive the gifts of red leaves and peonies.

Hongye asked hesitantly, "Since you are a senior witch, you should know the rules of the underworld. As a dead person, you cannot disturb the living world. Why do you choose to stay in the human world?"

"Don't meddle in my business." Kikyo glanced at the two of them and warned them, very much like a senior.

"We were the one who overstepped our bounds." Mudan apologized hastily, feeling relieved.

Now, there are only two of them guarding the Mikosai, because they heard that the terrifying big devil came to the vicinity of Sagami Province again and fought a dog demon. They have been worried and are in a panic every day.

In short, it’s great that I’m not an enemy of this senior, so I don’t have to worry about being killed.

Just as she was thinking this, she glanced and suddenly saw the person behind Kikyo.

Mudan blinked at first, then fainted.

Chapter 25: Ten moves!

"Peony, Peony."

Hearing someone calling her, Mudan opened her eyes, and her vision turned from dark to bright. The dazzling sunlight shone down, making her a little blinded. She lay on the ground, and when she saw Hongye's face and the familiar environment, she immediately felt relieved.

They are still in the witch's room.

"Hongye, I just had a nightmare." Mudan looked frightened.

Hongye's face was pale, full of fear, and she said, "It's not a nightmare."

Mudan followed her gaze and saw a silent and reserved-looking man standing in the courtyard of the Miko's House, looking around. The man had thick black hair and a tall and strong figure. He stood alone and looked quite aloof.

dead!

Mudan suddenly felt these big words appear above her head.

"How long are you going to keep embarrassing yourself?" Kikyo scolded.

She had already entered the shrine, and naturally felt emotional when she revisited the old place. However, the quality of the shrine maidens here was really terrible. Not only were their spiritual power weak and their minds restless, but they even had problems with their brains.

Although she was not a disciple of Wu Nusai, she was also very disappointed by this.

Although Chun has evil intentions, she is extremely talented. Her talent is praised by the conservative master of that generation, who believes that Chun has the potential to become the second Cuizi.

"As a shrine maiden, you must not only practice, but also cultivate your mind. But your cultivation disappoints me." Kikyo glanced at them.

Hearing this, the two witches couldn't help but feel guilty and bowed their heads in silence. As a senior, Kikyo had great authority and her words carried a lot of weight. Even if Kikyo pointed at them and scolded them, or hit them on the head with a bamboo sword, it was normal, and they could only bite the bullet and endure it.

Kikyo asked again: "Where is your host?"

She didn't find the third person in the Miko's House. Are there only two of them in such a big house now?

The two looked disappointed when they heard this: "Master passed away a few years ago. We are the last two witches he trained."

Kikyo was stunned, and her expression immediately softened. It turned out that these two little kids were living on themselves. No wonder they gave her a reckless feeling.

"Didn't he leave any last words before he died?"

Hongye and Mudan shook their heads together and said, "Master passed away very suddenly. He said that his old illness had relapsed. Before he died, he asked us to wait for the next generation of master."

But even now, no one has come here. Although some wandering mages have come here during this period, none of them have the qualifications.

Their eyes lit up when they looked at Kikyo, but then dimmed quickly. This senior was a shrine maiden with unfathomable cultivation. She had also practiced here and could definitely become the next head monk.

But, she is deceased.

"Do we have to wait forever?"

"Well, the task our master gave us is to guard the Miko's House until a suitable person appears to become the master of the house." Hongye said.

Kikyo nodded in understanding. This generation of the master was quite smart and knew that the last child he took in was not yet successful - or it could be said that he saw in advance that the two of them were stupid and had no potential to succeed, so he forbade them to go out. This was the last protection for them.

Because the priestesses who are able to travel are qualified to be independent.

"But that may take many years, you need to be prepared." Kikyo whispered. It will be more difficult to practice in the future. It is an irresistible trend. The world in the future will be a desert for cultivators. When thinking about the end of the world in three years, Kikyo became even more pessimistic.

In an age where even practitioners are unable to take care of themselves, places like the Miko's House, which have no heritage or foundation, can only be short-lived and will most likely disappear from the scene.

In other words, these two little shrine maidens may very well be the last swan song of the Miko-sai.

But Hongye and Mudan have not yet realized the seriousness of the matter. They told Kikyo their names and were very curious about the majestic and elegant priestess in front of them.

"May I know your name, Senior?"

Kikyo nodded slightly, realizing that the Mikosai had disappeared from now on, and her eyes became much gentler when she looked at Hongye and Mudan.

"Just call me Kikyo."

Mudan touched her head and smiled brightly, "How can I call you senior like that? But senior Kikyo's name sounds familiar, Kikyo Kikyo, um... Kikyo?" She repeated the name several times again and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

This sounds familiar, where have you heard it before?

Suddenly, she lost her voice, and her expression seemed to be frightened. Seeing Kikyo looking at her, she smiled awkwardly and said, "Senior has the same name as a shrine maiden from fifty years ago."

Hongye was very rational and swallowed hard. If she guessed correctly, the priestess in front of her was probably the legendary priestess.

Kikyo smiled but said nothing.

She secretly glanced at the quiet Gala, thinking that as expected of the Kikyo priestess, she should be able to subdue this devil who was wreaking havoc on the world.

Noticing Hongye's gaze, Jialuo glanced at her. Hongye's face turned pale instantly. She dared not move, nor look away. She just stared at him blankly.

Hey! What a handsome face...

She was so obsessed with beauty that she even forgot to be afraid.

As a shrine maiden who has lived in the shrine for a long time, she has been well protected by her master since she was a child and has never experienced a battle. In this age, she still retains some innocence and cannot resist cute things.

And if you look closely, this demon king is not only handsome, but also cute. He has strong muscles, a slender and powerful body, and a very smooth body. I really want to touch him.

Until Kikyo's words suddenly rang in my ears, like thunder exploding in my ears, "What are you looking at?"

Hongye suddenly came back to her senses, her face flushed, and she waved her hands frantically, "No, no, I'm not imagining anything!"

Kikyo smiled, leaned close to her ear, and asked softly, "Does it look good?"

Hongye naturally denied it at the first moment, but Kikyo's words were so gentle, as if they had some kind of magic, and she nodded as if possessed by a ghost.

To be honest, it does look good.

But when she realized what she had done, Hongye's face almost bled.

Kikyo smiled indifferently, it was normal for a young boy to admire Ai and a young girl to be in love, and it was rare that someone began to appreciate Jialuo's charm.

Sure enough, after shedding her outer shell, Jialuo will be very popular. It would be even better if she could change her personality...

She pondered and said to Jialuo, "Jialuo, do you want to stay here and be the host?"

She smiled mischievously, but her eyes fell on the two witches.

It must be admitted that as a witch, Red Leaf Peony is extremely naturally gifted, has outstanding looks, possesses spiritual powers and is able to keep herself clean. She has an impeccable temperament and is full of youthfulness. She has the feeling of a lively school girl. In the human society, she is definitely considered a beauty.

The meaning of her saying this at this time is self-evident.

Jialuo did not answer, but looked at her very coldly. It was obvious that Kikyo was in a bad mood.

When I first met her, Kikyo wasn't such a bad person. When did she start to let herself go?

He walked away without saying a word and began to walk towards the back of the mansion. Kikyo behind him smiled happily, as if the prank was successful.

When Jialuo heard Kikyo's laughter, she felt very depressed. If Kikyo was a living person, she would never dare to tease her like this.

Those who are favored are confident.

He realized this truth very clearly.

The Wu Nu Zhai is large and located in the forest, isolated from the outside world. The masters of the Zhai with profound cultivation in the past have left their power on this land, making this forest very pure.

In this era, although the big monsters are almost invisible, the number of low-level monsters has not decreased but increased. Because of wars and natural disasters, their numbers spread without restriction. Often, the more populous a place is, the more hidden monsters there are.

Taking Heian-kyō of the previous era as an example, the number of Onmyoji was second to none, Abe Haruaki's Onmyoji was divine, and the Taizan Fukun Festival communicated life and death. He stood at the pinnacle of the era, but even so, he could not completely suppress the Kyoto monsters.

The same is true in this era. Monsters are born from the death and resentment of human beings, and those evil spirits cannot be killed at all.

But it’s different here. Within a few thousand meters of the Miko’s House, evil spirits cannot live in the forest. It seems very clean, without any evil spirit or resentment.

Even he was affected, and his strength was weakened by one percent.

But here, there is only one thing that is different.

Garo looked at the tall tower in the backyard of the Miko's House. With steady steps, stepping on the soft grass, he passed through the front garden and the courtyard, and walked towards the tower at a leisurely pace.
