A samurai who doesn't want to be a daimyo is not a good onmyoji

Chapter 21 Lovebirds

After carefully inputting a trace of mana, a faint light suddenly flickered, and then a brand new small platycodon seal appeared in front of Shinkuro.

Shinkuro was overjoyed immediately, because he had recognized this seal, which is usually the seal used by Seimei Abe to store secret treasures!

He immediately secretly remembered the method and began to activate the seal. Unfortunately, his mana was far from enough, and it was quickly swallowed up by the seal. After a slight hesitation, he took out the spiritual stone that he had just obtained and drew mana from it.

Although there is no information about this cave in Abe Seimei's inheritance, he still has some clues after going through a lot of memories. He also has a preliminary guess about the existence of the seal. Once the seal is successfully unlocked, , what he gets will be far better than a spirit stone.

After using the spirit stone to restore his mana several times in a row, his forehead was covered with sweat, and even the light of the spirit stone quickly dimmed, and it seemed that the energy was about to dry up completely, he finally opened the seal.

In the magic circle, there were no gold and silver treasures, nor the Onmyoji secret treasures he had imagined before. There was only a spirit body shining with soft white light, a blue bird spirit with one eye and one wing.

Even though he was prepared, Shinkuro couldn't help but exclaimed at this moment: "It turned out to be..."

When he saw the other party, the obviously self-aware bird spirit also spotted him. It chirped softly, seeming to be extremely happy. It flapped its wings lightly and circled Shinkuro three times, as if thanking him for saving him. , and then plunged into his chest.

Shinkuro did not dodge, but stood still and allowed the other party to enter his body, because he had recognized the other party.

There is a bird, its shape is like a mallard, with one wing and one eye, it flies when it meets each other.

It is a kind of guardian spirit, and it is also the legendary beast that represents love - the winged bird.

Guardian spirits are harmonious souls born from the combination of many beautiful and kind emotions and energies, which is also their root.

They basically do no harm to humans, because once they violate the emotions they represent or are contaminated by foreign objects, they will no longer be harmonious souls or guardian spirits, but desolate souls. Or simply turned into a monster.

The two are very easy to distinguish, no matter in appearance or in energy aura.

Legend has it that each winged bird has only one eye and one wing, and the male bird always has the left eye and the female bird always has the right eye. Therefore, the male and female must have wings together to fly. Therefore, the winged bird is often used as a metaphor for a loving couple.

The various emotions Shinkuro felt before were exactly the emotion represented by the bird - love. Only love can be so complicated.

The only thing that makes Shinkuro feel strange is why Abe Seimei sealed this kind of guardian spirit together with a very vicious-looking monster like the ghost girl Momiji?
Combined with the legendary identity of Abe Haru, the son of the demon fox, Shinkuro couldn't help but have some guesses.

After all, Abe Seimei, who is a half-demon, is also a normal man, but the ghost girl Hongye is so beautiful, even if there is something happy to happen between this half-demon and a real demon, it is not impossible , but judging from the ending of the ghost girl Momiji, they probably fell out after that.

Kosaburo next to him was stunned for a moment. He had never heard any birdsong before, but now such a weird bird appeared out of thin air with light all over it. He didn't know how to express his feelings at all. !

Just when Shinkuro opened his mind and waited for the biwing bird to be completely possessed, the biwing bird that had touched his body suddenly screamed, flapped its only wing, and quickly retreated several meters.

This time there was no joy in its cry, but only fear, and even the whole bird's body was trembling slightly.

"how..."

Shinkuro was about to speak, but he immediately noticed the sight of the bird, which was where his heart was.

He immediately understood what was going on.

Although Biyiniao is a kind of guardian spirit, there is already a more powerful hidden yellow dragon in his body!

He covered his heart with one hand, and softly comforted the trembling Lovebird: "Don't be afraid, it's called Huanglong, and it's my partner. Well, it's just like you."

Almost all guardian spirits have their own areas of expertise, and their abilities will never be completely duplicated. Strictly speaking, among the many guardian spirits, Biyibird is not the one who is good at fighting.

Even if both sexes fly together, their strength is still below average. Now there is only one male, which is a bit weaker than when it was at its peak.

But for the current Shinkuro, the Biwing Bird can still provide a lot of help.

In addition to some basic general abilities of guardian spirits, that is, the strengthening of the host's strength, physical strength, agility, hearing, vision, etc., since the male wingbird has the dual attributes of wind and fire, it can also be strengthened to a certain extent. Shinkuro's understanding of these two types of spells and the ability to enhance the power of related spells.

Of course, as a guardian spirit of the middle and lower levels, its strengthening range is far from being comparable to that of Huanglong.

In addition, its core ability is also very good, that is, it greatly increases the mana limit and mana recovery speed of the possessed person.This is definitely very valuable for an onmyoji such as Shinkuro who has just started practicing. He can save a lot of time simply accumulating mana.

As for the price he will pay, it is basically zero.

Although guardian spirits each have their own preferences, without exception, they all represent beautiful and kind emotions, and they will not harm anyone.

After living in symbiosis with humans, unless you are the kind of innately weak person who has to take a few breaths every step, there will basically be no negative effects. It is purely a benefit. This is also the case for people who know the details. The reason why guardian spirits flock to them.

As if feeling Shinkuro's sincerity, the bird floated in mid-air for a few breaths, and finally plunged into his body. However, this time it did not choose the chest, but the abdomen. It seemed to be hidden. Huang Long was frightened.

As soon as the light flashed, the bird had completely entered his body, and was completely integrated into his body like the moist earth. Shinkuro immediately felt a touch of love, which was exactly the emotion represented by the bird.

At the same time, his mana also began to increase rapidly, and in just a few breaths, the total amount increased by more than five times. The Lovebird allowed him to save the mana that ordinary onmyojis spent months of hard work to cultivate in an instant.

However, compared with the power that the guardian spirit can bring in Abe Seimei's memory, this is still too weak, because after all, his training time is too short, and his total magic power is very small. Even if it increases five times, in fact, Not much.

The number of guardian spirits is extremely rare. No matter what era it is, it almost never exceeds double digits at the same time. As long as those who get guardian spirits do not die in infancy, they are all heroes of the world.

Guardian spirits are attracted by the outstanding abilities of those heroes. After obtaining the guardian spirits, those heroes often show more powerful abilities, and the two complement each other.

However, just saving a few months of hard work, this improvement is a little too small.
As if he felt Shinkuro's thoughts, with a crisp bird song, a trace of weakness and grievance came from the bottom of his heart.

This is the message conveyed by the winged birds. As guardian spirits, of course they also have a certain degree of self-awareness. It is possible for a powerful guardian spirit to speak, or even break away from the possessed person and fight independently.

Shinkuro was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately understood the meaning conveyed by the lovebirds. Although it was just a soft chirp, the information contained in it was not small. This is probably the unique communication between the guardian spirit and the possessed person. way.

The most important reason why the lovebirds only have such a small increase in Shinkuro is that it used to be a part of the seal, and it has been here with her for more than 500 years without the ghost girl Hongye's knowledge.

Under the action of the magic circle, it can extract the spirit stones originally stored in the magic circle here as energy supplements to maintain the seal on the ghost girl Hongye. The seal gradually broke, and the magic circle was also affected.

It began to need more power to seal the ghost girl Hongye, but due to the magic circle, it became more and more difficult to absorb the power of the spirit stone. In the end, it had to start squeezing its own power, which caused it to become more and more difficult to absorb. Weak and in a vicious cycle, the ghost girl Hongye finally managed to escape.

When the ghost girl Hongye completely broke out of the seal, the fate of Biyiniao also changed drastically.

Fortunately, it no longer has to over-squeeze its own power. Unfortunately, the ghost girl Hongye took away all the remaining spirit stones, making it completely lose the possibility of absorbing energy from the outside world. The place that once sealed the monsters will soon Become its burial place.

There may be powerful guardian spirits that can survive without relying on humans or drawing power from the outside world, but at least it cannot do so in a weak state.

That's why it kept Shinkuro's footsteps with that soft chime. This is the first sound it has made in more than 500 years, and it may also be the last sound.

During the process of sealing the ghost girl Momiji, it never spoke, so until she left, she never discovered its existence. She only thought that it was Abe Seimei's original magic circle that sealed her.

It is now in the weakest state it has ever been, so it will not be of much help to Shinkuro, but as long as he is given time to recover slowly, it will definitely help Shinkuro more than that.

After comforting the aggrieved Biwing Bird a little, Shinkuro felt that things were getting more and more interesting when he lamented Biwing Bird's rare loyalty to Abe Seimei.

There are so many arrangements made with the winged bird that represents love, instead of directly killing the other party. There are obviously many stories in it that are unknown to outsiders.

It's a pity that the inheritance he received only contained a lot of knowledge, and there was no memory of Abe Seimei's past, so he couldn't get a glimpse of it.

But no matter what, the ghost girl Momiji is a ferocious monster that kills humans, and as long as she exists for a day, Shinkuro will have a thorn in his heart. In order to scare her away, he had to reveal some of his unique secrets.

Although he is interested in what happened back then, if possible, he will still kill the other party without mercy.

After checking the cave again and confirming that nothing was missing, Shinkuro decided to leave here. He still had many things to do.

"Kosaburo, let's go, get out of here first. I've wasted my time for Yuanfu. It's time to return to Xiaodani City and give everyone a surprise!"
