Chapter 876 [Chapter 4] 293
That's right, this is her impromptu performance based on the news that the little boy Hirano just heard.
Because there are time-traveling troops in Edo Castle, it is of course impossible for the locals to distinguish the difference between time-traveling troops and ghosts, so they all call them "evil spirits".Earlier today, another team of Fusangshen made a small disturbance in the originally safer passage, because the locals mistook them for the "evil spirits" similar to the time-traveling army. .
I heard that those "ghosts" turned into a courtyard after "chasing several feet away; I immediately chased after them, and when I entered the courtyard, those evil spirits had disappeared without a trace. Because there is no other entrance and exit in the courtyard, The nearby houses have been investigated one by one, but nothing has been found, which is very strange." Liu Quan guessed, maybe the other party's interrogator urgently used the city return compass newly issued by the management bureau in desperation.
The compass for returning to the city looks like a pocket watch, but the dial does not indicate the time, but the direction; you can press the button on the top of the compass when you are out of battle, and you will have a chance to return to Honmaru immediately.
Of course Liu Quan also brought such new props.It sounds very convenient, but if you can't avoid people's eyes and ears when using it, you will need someone to lie for them later.
So she conceived a whole good story in an instant.
She showed an awe-inspiring look, and when the two guards looked at each other in shock, she slightly raised her voice, and shouted: "You are blocking me here, are you colluding with evil spirits?!"
The two guards were even more taken aback by her drink. They looked at each other, and one of them asked a question tremblingly.
"You, you said that you are a priestess of the Guishen Shrine, what evidence is there?! We have not received a notice that the priestess has been invited to come here to pray for blessings and disaster relief..."
Liu Quan's face became slightly serious.
"Joke! Do you want to spread the news to everyone in Edo City, so that those evil spirits can also have the opportunity to snoop on this kind of news, and then they can't hide? The evil spirits can't stay here for a long time, how do you know that someone here is colluding with them? Are you Do you regard me as an evil spirit too?" She opened her arms slightly, allowing the wide sleeves of the white dress on the upper body of the priestess uniform to fall straight down.
"If I were an evil spirit, how could I become a witch? Wouldn't I be afraid of being captured by divine power and disappear into nothing?!" She said righteously.
Those two guards: "...the words, the words are reasonable...ah no!"
They refreshed themselves.
"Well, if that's the case, then what's the point of being a priestess and bringing so many people into the city?" They questioned loudly, but for some reason there was always a bit of sternness in their voices.
"If things are really as you said, then tell me, what do those children behind you do?!"
Liu Quan hesitated for a second, then firmly replied in an unquestionable tone: "...servant."
"Servant, servant boy?!" The voices of the two guards changed their tone in surprise.
"Since you are a witch, what kind of servant boy will you bring with you when you enter the city?!"
Liu Quan answered the conversation calmly and fluently, and replied: "Because there are many evil spirits in the city, when doing the exorcising method, you need the assistance of many servants to complete it smoothly."
Perhaps it was because she answered fluently with a strong and confident tone, and the two guards couldn't find anything wrong.However, the order they received was probably to check all the people they met in detail, so their eyes slid aside and soon found a new problem.
"Then...! Who is this one?!" One of the guards stared straight at Sanri Yuezong, who was standing beside Liu Quan with a calm expression. For some reason, he seemed to be overwhelmed by his aura, so his voice sounded even weaker. up.
Liu Quan replied decisively: "Priest."
Thank goodness Mikami Tsukimune's battle uniform is the Heian era kari!Although wearing a breastplate and plastron, the style of the hunting clothes is not far from the standard attire of priests in the shrine. Now that it is nighttime and the lights in the corridor are dim, the two guards must not be able to see any differences in details. ——
Sure enough, the two guards stammered and dubiously repeated: "... Priest?"
From their tone of voice, Liu Quan could fully understand their wavering feelings, so her tone became more determined.
"Yes, I came here with this priestess to get rid of evil spirits." She said loudly, "Because the situation in the city is unknown, we cannot let priests walk in the forefront to avoid danger, so the priestess who is the priestess I am walking in front—this is also to ensure the safety of the priest!"
The two guards looked at each other, a little hesitant.
"However, it's true that I haven't heard that the priests and priestesses of the Kibune Shrine were invited to come to get rid of the evil..."
Liu Quan interrupted them sharply, and shouted awe-inspiringly: "The divine power of Guichuan Shrine has been verified from ancient times to the present, so I don't need to tell you one by one! I heard that the evil spirits in the city are powerful and have killed and wounded many people. Troublesome; you don't go to patrol around, but instead embarrass me and the others who secretly entered the city to eliminate evil, what's the reason! Are you planning to make things big here, attracting evil spirits to attack us first, so that you can also be responsible for negligence? It was easily covered up! If we delay our business, no matter how much you apologize, it will not be enough!"
The two guards were froze on the spot by her stern and progressive words.
Indeed, they had never seen a miko with such a powerful aura.However, they always felt that compared with the powerful Miko, the "Prince" who stood beside her, with eyes half-closed and half-opened, handsome and graceful, watching them calmly, It seems to have an undeniably deep momentum.
However, the deep aura characteristic of a high-ranking person subtly subdued a little when meeting this mistress who was full of aura and eloquent, making the two people's aura even stronger when they stood together. Hair seems to complement each other, sui generis (?).
The two guards felt that the cold sweat on their foreheads was about to ooze drop by drop.
Just when they were undecided whether to let it go, the handsome priest suddenly lowered his eyebrows, stretched out his right hand, and grabbed the handle of the knife at his waist.
"Here we come," he said briefly.
...Even the voice of the alarm is very beautiful.
For a moment, the first thought that broke into the minds of the two guards was actually this.
However, before they had time to think about it, they saw the powerful Miko-sama in front of her suddenly raise her right hand horizontally, and swished a handsome wave!
Then the five servant boys (?) behind her immediately dispersed, as if standing in a certain formation, and entered the posture of preparing for battle.
In the next second, ominous black mist seeped out from the cracks in the wall.The black air made a chirping sound, gathered towards the long corridor, and condensed into a tall and distorted black shadow in an instant.
The two guards watched all this happen in a daze, and finally shouted with all their strength at this moment: "... evil spirit! It's coming again!!"
Then, the miko-sama suddenly raised the corners of her lips, and there was a proud expression on her face that was similar to determination and self-confidence.
"That's great," she said.
The next moment, she was the first to pull out the sword at her waist, and while the shadows were not getting a firm foothold, she jumped forward, passed the two guards who were almost frightened and froze, and swung the sword down!
The guards only had time to shout: "Please be careful, Miko-sama!! These evil spirits cannot be killed—"
But the next moment, the end of their unfinished words choked in their throats.
Because they saw that those evil shadows—the black shadows that could not be cut no matter how desperately they pulled out their knives—after the Miko slashed down, along with the blade's passing, they slammed into the sky. A huge crack was broken with a bang!Moreover, the black shadow that had been slashed let out a scream, and liquid like black blood gushed out from the scar!
They heard the handsome priest let out a chuckle from his throat.Then, the lord priest stepped forward calmly—with a leisurely attitude, not as if he was facing a strong enemy on the battlefield, but as if he was stepping down the stairs to enjoy the flowers in the courtyard—and passed them In front of him, the blade of the Taidao he had pulled out flashed a sharp light in the darkness.
There was a tinge of self-satisfaction in his voice.
"Look? That's it~"
Then, without hesitation, he swung that beautiful and sharp knife towards the first huge black shadow rushing towards him.
With a swish, the blade fell heavily with the sound of the wind.The black shadow uttered an even more miserable scream and disappeared.
The action of the priest seems to be a silent order, and the servants standing behind him and the priestess are also divided into two teams, passing by the two of them, and rushing up.
The battle was soon over.
Those two guards were useless at all, they could only stare dumbfoundedly at the priest and the priestess, leading a few servant boys who were also nimble and nimble, to kill those monsters that they couldn't kill no matter what They were all cut clean.
Guard [-]: "T-really...is it the priest and the witch...! That's why we can eliminate these inhuman evil spirits...?!"
The second guard: "Yes, I'm sorry...! Just now, I did something rude...! The evil spirits in the city, please, please adults..."
Without any doubt, they turned sideways to open the passage, and bowed respectfully when the priest and his party passed in front of them.
The handsome priest in the blue safari suit seemed to be different from other shrines. Even though they begged and apologized in this way, he seemed indifferent and calm; it seemed that the suspicion of the two guards did not make him angry. , And now the apologies and requests of the two guards did not make him feel proud or complacent.
With handsome eyebrows and noble wind, the lord priest put the saber back into its sheath, held the handle of the famous saber at his waist, walked gracefully, and passed in front of the two guards—and didn't glance over at all.
However, the two guards still didn't dare to show their airs, and felt ashamed that they dared to doubt the authenticity of the priest and the priestess just now—but unlike the lofty and indifferent priest, the one just now was still sharp-tongued and arrogant. The fully-opened Miko, after mercilessly beheading all the evil spirits that appeared, seemed to let go of a little tension, exuding a kind and gentle aura. When passing by the two of them, she even turned her head slightly towards Nodding their heads in greeting.
The two guards were flattered.After the group of people entered the door at the end of the corridor, they locked the door again, and happily talked about "this is saved!", "Evil spirits must not be able to run rampant here again!" and other words .
On the other side, after walking out of the line of sight of the two guards and confirming that they closed the door leading to the corridor behind them, the celestial priest slowed down and turned his head slightly Come, with a half-smile, he glanced at the Miko-sama beside him.
"Hmph, is it a combination of a priest and a witch?" He said with a smile, "It sounds good too~"
