Chapter 229

what's up?

Naturally, they are here to find treasures.

But can't say that.

This place is quite magical, and Tsuchimikado Mari doesn't want to destroy the status quo.

In order to avoid unexpected situations or directly causing the ruins to collapse.

That's not worth the loss.

"Find someone."

Tsuchimikado Mahri casually made up.

"who?"

Ibuki frowned upon hearing this.

"Someone stole a valuable thing from me in the Yatsushiro Sea. I followed it all the way and ended up here."

Tsuchimikado Mahri smiled lightly and said, "Sorry for disturbing the city lord."

"I see."

Ibuki glanced at Haruhiko and the others and didn't believe it.

But Tsuchimikado Marri said this, and it was hard for her to expose it.

There is no need to offend a fifth-level psyker.

"What are the characteristics?"

Ibuki leaned back slightly, propped up her chin with one hand, and said, "I am a guest from afar, I can help."

"Thank you."

Tsuchimikado Marri raised her hand, and spiritual energy surged out, forming a portrait in front of her.

He is an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.

"I haven't seen it."

Ibuki shook his head slightly and said, "I will ask my subordinates to pay attention."

"Please, City Lord."

Tsuchimikado Mari waved her hand, and the portrait disappeared.

"You can stay in my palace and wait for clues."

After Ibuki finished speaking, a guard stepped forward.

He led the way and led a group of people to the side hall.

"It's just like the real thing."

Haruhiko touched the wooden table in the room.

Not only the sight, but also the touch is no different from the real world.

If Tsuchimikado Mashiro hadn't told him it was an illusion before, he would never have believed it.

"Illusions are usually cast through the five senses, so when did we fall into the illusion?"

Haruhiko suddenly thought of another question and asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, it was you who opened the door."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro sat opposite him, crossing his arms.

The lower volume forms an arc outward.

"How did you open the door?"

asked Mari Tsuchimikado, who was next to Haruhiko.

As for Utsunomiya Mina and others, they were in another room.

After traveling for so long, I need to take a rest.

And Tsuchimikado Mashiro and Tsuchimikado Mari need to think about what to do next.

"The words of the snake god on the door are, shout the name of our Lord, so I chanted Ibukizan Daimyojin."

Haruhiko withdrew his gaze, lowered his head slightly, and saw Tsuchimikado Mari's voluptuous stocking thighs.

The two people sat close to each other, so they could see everything at a glance.

"Sure enough, it is related to Ibukiyama Daimyojin."

Tsuchimikado's beautiful white eyes were flowing, and the delicate face on the veil was a little dignified.

Even if Haruhiko didn't say it explicitly, after so many coincidences, she could already conclude that the ruins of Takamagahara were the tomb of Yamata no Orochi.

Among Japanese legends, Yamata no Orochi is famous.

Needless to say, its strength.

His tomb must be worth a lot of money.

Of course, with opportunities, there are risks.

If something related to gods is not careful, a fifth-level psyker will have to pay for it with his life.

"Illusion, the closer it is to reality, the harder it is to detect."

Tsuchimikado Mari thought about it and said, "This city and the monsters in it should have existed before, and that power made them reappear."

"good."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro nodded and asked, "Think about it, who would be able to enter here under normal circumstances?"

There is a snake god saying at the door.

Only subordinates or servants of Yamata no Orochi can come in.

"There must be something left here."

Tsuchimikado Mahri said firmly.

"In this case, we will divide our troops into three groups and search the city in the afternoon."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro thought for a while and said.

"Haruhiko knows the language of the snake god."

Tsuchimikado Marri added, "Ibukiyama must have many written records that can be collected."

"Ah."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro glanced at Haruhiko subconsciously.

Only his left hand was still on the table.

As for his right hand, it hung down naturally, blocking his sight.

But Tsuchimikado Mashiro is a fifth-level psyker.

She immediately gritted her teeth in anger.

He didn't stop even in front of her.

"Leave in the afternoon!"

Tsuchimikado Mashiro left the room with a bad expression.

"You know she will notice, yet you are so bold."

Tsuchimikado Mari tilted her head, a smile appeared on her cold face, and there were ripples in her eyes.

Haruhiko made a move and could only laugh.

With a clear conscience, he did not want to make Tsuchimikado Mashiro angry.

It's just that Tsuchimikado Mari's plump and long legs are really hard to refuse.

"We are divided into three teams in the afternoon. How are they divided?"

Haruhiko continued to appreciate the texture of stockings.

"Master is on the team, I am on the team, Ayaka and Mina are on the team."

Tsuchimikado Mari ignored his mischievous hand and asked, "Who do you want to follow?"

"Of course it's Marri-nee."

Haruhiko said without hesitation.

He naturally understood what to say in front of a fifth-level great demon who could grasp his own strengths and weaknesses at any time and at any time.

"Aren't you afraid that the master will be angry?"

Tsuchimikado Marashi parted her red lips slightly.

Her face had a faint color, as if she was drunk, and her charming and mature wifely temperament was fully displayed.

Coupled with the enviable figure, Haruhiko has been so fascinated that he has lost his mind.

He shook his head and said, "I'm more afraid that Sister Jinli will be angry."

This sentence is indeed true.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro's anger went away as quickly as it came.

Haruhiko isn't too worried.

"Grumpy."

Tsuchimikado Mahri waved her hand casually.

The door to the room was closed.

She closed her legs slightly, looked down at Haruhiko, licked the corners of her mouth, and said, "We still have time."

The weather in Mount Ibuki is quite cool.

Haruhiko took a very comfortable nap.

When I woke up again, I felt hungry.

Although Lord Ibuki prepared food for them, no one dared to eat it.

Fortunately, they carry them with them.

"Eat."

Mari Tsuchimikado pulled out a lunch box out of thin air like a magic trick.

"Thank you."

Haruhiko sat up from her arms, got dressed, and then took the lunch box.

He opened it and saw sushi inside.

Naturally, the lunch box is not as hot as the freshly made one.

But when you go out, you don’t need to pay too much attention to it.

Haruhiko picked up a piece and took a bite.

"Is it tasty?"

Mari Tsuchimikado sat on the bed in a rather heroine-like posture.

Just like the classic scene of Dongfang Bubai drinking in red in his previous life.

But the only difference is that she hasn't changed into clothes yet.

"good to eat."

Haruhiko nodded subconsciously and said, "It is full of color, flavor and taste. There is no more delicious sushi than this."

It's beautiful and delicious, and you really don't deceive me.

He had a very good meal.

"Help me put on my kimono."

Tsuchimikado Mari stood up, her usual red kimono appearing in her hand.

"Why do you think of wearing a kimono?"

Haruhiko admired the huge shock and was a little puzzled.

Mainly because he prefers hip skirts and black stockings.

"Modern clothes are too eye-catching."

Tsuchimikado Mari explained.

Haruhiko reacted.

This city is at least hundreds of years old, so the styles of clothes are naturally different.

"But why didn't they question our clothes before?"

Haruhiko stepped forward and took the kimono.

"That's a good question."

Tsuchimikado Marri stretched out her arms and put them into her sleeves.

The mature and graceful body is gradually shrouded in kimono.

"Either we don't care, or that force is targeting us."

After thinking for a moment, Tsuchimikado Marri said.

Haruhiko didn't answer anymore, but helped her put on the kimono.

This process is more cumbersome.

But he is already familiar with the road.

By the way, you can also feast your eyes.

He earned it with blood.

"Let's go."

Tsuchimikado Mari looked around and found that there was no problem, then opened the door and left the room.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro and others were already waiting outside.

Seeing two people coming out at the same time, some people started to speculate.

But the only ones who can be here are confidants.

Although there is speculation, nothing will be said.

Except Tsuchimikado Mashiro.

No matter where she thought, she knew what the two people were doing inside.

"You lead a team."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro took a deep breath.

The kimono heaved.

"It's just me and Haruhiko."

Tsuchimikado Mari smiled lightly and said, "The rest of us will follow you."

"..."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro's face suddenly stiffened.

"Ayaka and Mina are fourth level, it's safer to bring more."

Tsuchimikado Mari added, "Besides, I don't need anyone to follow me."

"Then why bring Haruhiko with you?"

Tsuchimikado Mashiro asked with a cold snort.

"Haruhiko is more useful."

Tsuchimikado Mari said casually.

She was referring to Haruhiko knowing the snake language.

But only Tsuchimikado Mashiro knew about this.

So much so that Utsunomiya Mina and others did not believe this statement.

Especially Utsunomiya Minami.

She even thought that Tsuchimikado Mari wanted to monopolize her.

"So be it."

Tsuchimikado Mari waved her hand and said, "Haruhiko, follow me."

Haruhiko could only smile at Tsuchimikado Mashiro and express his apology.

But all he got was a blank stare.

Apparently, she was angry.

After leaving the castle tower, the two people came to the street.

"Where are we going now?"

Haruhiko looked at the busy street and asked.

"Just walk around."

A trace of nostalgia flashed in Tsuchimikado Mahri's eyes, and she said, "You have never seen the situation a thousand years ago, so you can take this opportunity to understand."

I've actually seen it.

Although in the game.

But when she said that, it was hard for Haruhiko to refute.

Tsuchimikado Mari held his hand and walked forward.

Haruhiko reacted and subconsciously rubbed the back of her soft hand.

Pretty good.

He was not in a hurry and slowly went shopping with Tsuchimikado Mari.

The only pity is that all illusions are fake.

I want to buy some special snacks, but I have no chance.

At this moment, a sudden cry caught Haruhiko's attention.

The source is a double-storey wooden house not far away.

There are several cages placed in the courtyard.

Inside the cage are humans.

Haruhiko was slightly taken aback.

They are indeed humans, not monsters.

"Just like humans use yokai as shikigami and control demons, yokai sometimes use humans as slaves." Tsuchimikado Marri noticed his gaze and explained.

Haruhiko nodded upon hearing that.

This kind of thing is not difficult to understand.

Shikigami and Yuyou seem to be fair, but they often treat monsters as slaves.

Besides, whether it's humans or monsters, there are always evil people.

Coupled with certain forbidden arts, this kind of transaction happened frequently thousands of years ago.

Only now, because of the management of the Imperial Palace, has it restrained itself.

"It's just an illusion, don't worry about it."

Tsuchimikado Mari squeezed his hand and said.

Haruhiko naturally understood.

Even if he came to the rescue, it would be meaningless.

"I bought them all."

A young man dressed as an onmyoji said loudly.

Tsuchimikado Mari and Haruhiko looked at each other.

Ibukiyama is a city of monsters, so the presence of an Onmyoji is a bit strange.

And the most surprising thing is that he is not a monster, but a human.

Haruhiko suddenly thought of Ashiya Domitsu.

It wasn't his sudden whim, but he was the only Onmyoji who could connect with Yamata no Orochi.

Especially among the ruins of Takamagahara.

"Sister Mali."

Haruhiko thought of this and said, "Let's go over and have a look."

Marika Tsuchimikado was a little surprised.

But she happened to have no clues, so she agreed.

After the Onmyoji youth bought the nine humans, he led them away.

Human beings are bound by restrictions and cannot escape.

Haruhiko and Tsuchimikado Mari followed from a distance.

The young Onmyoji was only at the third level, so he couldn't detect it.

Half an hour later, they had arrived at a courtyard in the west of the city.

Before he even got close, Haruhiko felt a surge of heat rising into the sky.

His heart moved slightly and he guessed what it was.

It turned out to be a blacksmith shop.

Could it be related to the so-called Nine God-killing Swords?

While thinking, the young man and others had already entered the courtyard.

He asked the nine humans to wait here, and then turned to the living room.

After a while, he was seen walking out with a middle-aged man.

Both of them were wearing hunting clothes and were undoubtedly Onmyoji.

Maybe it's still the same family.

"Fifth level Onmyoji."

Tsuchimikado Mari immediately stretched out her hand and placed it on Haruhiko's head.

As the spiritual energy flashed through, the figures of the two people became even more ethereal.

She was just a third-level Onmyoji before, so she didn't have to be serious.

But this is the fifth level, and if you are not careful, you will be discovered.

Haruhiko raised an eyebrow.

Even a thousand years ago, there were not many fifth-level Onmyoji.

Each of them has left a name in history.

He was now more and more certain that this person was most likely Ashiya Michitoshi.

In the first week, Hayate controlled by Haruhiko met Abe Seimei.

But Ashiya Michitoshi does not belong to a certain Onmyoji family and does not live in a fixed place, so I have never seen him.

Now Haruhiko can't determine his identity by his appearance.

"good."

The middle-aged Onmyoji glanced around and said calmly.

Under his eyes, all nine people's faces showed nervousness and fear.

Although the other party looks like a human being, where do humans come from in Mount Ibuki?
They seemed to have seen the end of their fate.

"Go and set up the formation."

The middle-aged Onmyoji ordered.

The young man turned around and entered the living room again.

After a few seconds, seven people walked out.

They are all dressed up the same way.

After saluting the middle-aged Onmyoji, he set up a magic circle in the courtyard.

Haruhiko couldn't see any effect, so he turned to look at Tsuchimikado Mari.

"I have not seen."

Tsuchimikado Marri frowned slightly, "Just judging from the layout and the psychic materials used, it may have something to do with the increase."

increase?

Does that mean increasing the power of spells or spiritual tools?
Haruhiko continued to look at the arrangements in the courtyard.

After about 15 minutes, the formation was formed.

He found that there were nine key nodes.

At this time, the nine people who were bought happened to be standing on it.

The magic circle starts.

Blood red smoke filled the air.

Nine people were enveloped in it.

There was no scream, it was as if he had jumped into strong sulfuric acid and turned into blood.

Haruhiko frowned.

Although it is an illusion, this situation undoubtedly proves that this magic circle is a forbidden art.

The blood turned into blood beads and floated.

The magic circle continuously provides spiritual energy, like a stream, surrounding nine blood beads.

The air was stirred and turned into gusts of breeze.

The dust on the ground swept outwards, blowing down the weeds in the corners.

The middle-aged onmyoji who had not moved for a long time took out a tachi.

From the appearance, it is not much different from other tachi.

But after contacting the blood, the blade lit up.

The air of coldness and blood permeated the air.

Nine blood beads fell one after another and sank into the blade.

After a long time, the courtyard returned to normal again.

One of the Nine God-killing Swords?

An idea flashed through Haruhiko's mind.

The tachi is the weapon of a swordsman.

The middle-aged man is an onmyoji.

Unless he has dual professions like Haruhiko, there is no point in using the sword.

Plus this is a blacksmith shop.

Haruhiko was basically certain that he was Ashiya Michitoshi.

The middle-aged Onmyoji put away his sword and turned to leave.

There were only a few traces left in the courtyard, proving that a tragedy had indeed occurred just now.

"Sister Mali."

Haruhiko thought for a while and asked, "Can you go in and get some information?"

This place is transformed by illusion.

That sword is not real.

Even if you get it, it is meaningless and will not trigger game prompts.

The best way is to take advantage of this opportunity to get the information you need.

"Let me try."

Tsuchimikado Marri said calmly, "Wait for me where you are. Don't run around, lest the spell on you loses effect."

Haruhiko always felt that this sentence was a bit familiar.

Before he could speak again, Tsuchimikado Mahri had disappeared.

At the fifth level, there is a big gap between them.

But generally speaking, the longer you live, the more psychic energy you have and the stronger you are.

It is true that Ashiya Michito is very famous.

It's just that he is human after all.

In terms of strength, it is inferior to monsters that live longer.

However, strength is not just about cultivation.

Special spells, powerful spiritual tools, shikigami and demon control must also be added.

For example, Abe Seimei.

The reason why he is so powerful is because he possesses twelve powerful shikigami.

One-on-one can instantly turn into a group fight.

Who can stand this?
Ashiya Domitsu is also an Onmyoji, so his shikigami must be extraordinary.

But Haruhiko still believes in Tsuchimikado Mahri.

She doesn't know fire.

Among the monsters, they belong to the top group.

And she lived for a thousand years.

After Haruhiko waited for a few minutes, a powerful psychic wave suddenly erupted in the hospital.

His heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he had been discovered?

Then, Tsuchimikado Mari appeared in front of him.

Before Haruhiko could ask, she grabbed her shoulder.

Covered by psychic energy, he shifted his position instantly.

"There's nothing special inside. They're all for forging spiritual tools. I guess the valuable items should be carried with you."

Tsuchimikado Mari took out a roll of wooden slips and said, "I saw him looking at this, so I grabbed it."

Haruhiko finally understood the reason after hearing this.

No wonder there was such a big fuss.

But it was really Tsuchimikado Mari who grabbed the wooden slip.

It can only be said that her strength is indeed superior.

Haruhiko opened the wooden slips, which were all written by the snake god.

He glanced through it quickly and was suddenly surprised.

"What did you write?"

Tsuchimikado Mari noticed his expression and asked.

"I mentioned the Nine God-killing Swords to you before, do you remember?"

Haruhiko raised his head and asked.

"remember."

Tsuchimikado Mahri nodded and asked, "Could it be that the tachi we saw before was one of them?"

"Yes."

Haruhiko replied, "It's called Drinking Hunting. It records the process of its forging, which requires a lot of blood."

"Wouldn't that be of little value?"

Tsuchimikado Mari was a little disappointed.

At least it was snatched from the fifth level Onmyoji.

But this little information really doesn't deserve her efforts.

"It's valuable. The location of Drinking Hunt is mentioned above."

A smile appeared on Haruhiko's face, "I guess someone left this message thousands of years ago in order to let the servants of Yamata no Orochi recover the Nine God-Slaying Swords, but it gave us an advantage."

According to the general situation, those who can speak the language of snake gods must be the servants of Yamata no Orochi.

Then the things left behind will naturally not be given to outsiders.

Haruhiko suspected that the same was true for the ruins he went to with Izumo Shrine before.

It can only be opened with the snake god's language, and the incomplete Akashi Tachi can be obtained.

But now they are all intercepted by Haruhiko.

After all, no one would have thought that a player would travel through time.

"So Yin Xue isn't here?"

Although Tsuchimikado Marri was also interested in drinking hunting, she thought of another thing.

"No."

Haruhiko knew what she meant and said, "It can be seen that the power that maintains this illusion is not drinking hunting."

"It's really troublesome."

Tsuchimikado Mahri rubbed her eyebrows and said, "It would be better to destroy this illusion directly and let it jump out on its own."

Haruhiko secretly thought that this was indeed a good idea.

But after getting the information about Yin Xun, he felt that he could take it slow.

Ashiya Michichi could give him this kind of surprise.

What about Ibuki?
As the city lord, doesn’t she have other secrets?

"Sister Mali."

Haruhiko put away the wooden slips, held her hand, and said, "Let's go shopping again."

Tsuchimikado Mari looked at him, stepped forward, her red lips slightly parted.

Haruhiko suddenly lost the ability to speak.

A soft fragrance fills the mouth.

He could only bear this excessive exchange.

"Looking at how well-behaved you are, my sister will listen to you today."

Tsuchimikado Marri licked the corner of her mouth and said with a slight smile.

Haruhiko let out a breath.

Too bad the time and place were wrong.

His passion could only be restrained temporarily.

"That middle-aged Onmyoji is pretty good."

Tsuchimikado Mari held Haruhiko's hand and said as he walked, "They are probably looking for me now. Let's change direction."

The two people walked towards the street in the opposite direction.

But nothing was gained.

The highest level of monsters encountered along the way is the fourth level.

When he noticed Tsuchimikado Mari, he ran away.

The sun in the sky gradually dims.

The afternoon passed and dusk came.

Mari Tsuchimikado and Haruhiko returned to the palace.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro and others are already waiting.

Taken together, the two sides did not have any valuable information except drinking and hunting.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Dear guests, my master invites you."

After opening the door, there was a girl with black hair and black eyes.

"Who is your master?"

Tsuchimikado Mashiro asked.

"Lord City Lord."

The girl said with a smile.

 Six thousand words.
