Chapter 275: Exorcism
Chapter 275: Exorcism
Two years passed in a blink of an eye.
After handing over the Heart of God to the man in black, Raidenzhen set out on the journey to conquer the world.
Behind her, Mo Ran held Lei Dianying, who had been cast into a coma by a magic spell, in one hand and watched her for a long time. Then he returned to the castle tower and arranged everything.
"Lord Tai Shang Yusho, is there going to be a war outside?" Gu Shan, who was over fifty years old, asked slowly.
"That's about it. You stay in the castle tower and don't go out unless someone tells you to. There's still plenty of food in the kitchen. Go and get some when you're hungry, but don't step out of the castle tower!" Mo Ran warned.
"Gushan understands." He nodded. The old man never married and had no children. Being able to live out his life in the castle tower and enjoy his old age was the best ending.
Mo Ran glanced at the old man again, finished the brewed tea on the table, and said, "I drank so much of your tea, could I make you a cup?"
"My Lord, you are joking. My Lord, you have given me tea. How dare Gu Shan not drink it?"
"Haha..." Mo Ran laughed.
This time their farewell was to be forever. Mo Ran couldn't say how reluctant he was to part with this tea maker who loved growing flowers, but after all they had been together for decades, so he had to say goodbye properly.
Gu Shan probably knew that the situation was unstable, so he didn't dare to delay too long and quickly finished his tea.
Mo Ran raised his hand to control the temperature of the tea before it went into his throat, so that the old man would not suffer at his old age.
After finishing a cup of tea, Mo Ran left, leaving Gu Shan kneeling on the spot. He murmured, "Farewell, sir. I hope you return victorious!"
Above Inazuma, dark clouds rolled, with occasional violent thunder, heavy rain fell in an instant, and strong winds raised huge waves, as if the end of the world was coming.
In the rough sea, all kinds of monsters, whose bodies were pitch black to purple, slowly approached the shore.
The soldiers on the various islands detected the crisis in time and dispatched troops to guard the coast.
Each of them held a knife, formed a battle formation, and shouted: "The way of the constant is magnificent, the gods are eternal, the distant ones are united, and the sea will never fade!"
The first half of the sentence is the imperial order from the main god of Narukami Island, while the second half belongs to the people of Kaijima Island. The slogan was successfully implemented after consultation between the two gods and many opinions of the residents.
It not only demonstrates the morale of the military, but also reflects the hearts of the people on both sides of the Taiwan Straits, which are firmly bound together and indestructible.
On the coastal battle line of Narukami Island, a man holding the famous sword bestowed by the general stood with his back straight, his face chiseled with swords and an expression of determination.
He looked at the inscribed sword in his hand. It was rumored that when this sword was forged, it had split the sea of clouds and cut through the mountain mist. However, later for unknown reasons, the blade broke into pieces.
After being reforged by the general, some flowing cloud patterns were added to the blade, and the blade also had an additional suffix, Huiguang.
The great demon general Sasayuri was naturally also in this team. He looked at the young man he once was and shouted, "Kirikiri Takamine!"
"Yes, Lord Demon General, Wuqiri Takamine is at your disposal at any time!" He immediately put away his sword and shouted loudly.
Sasayuri smiled and said, "This sword has not been named yet. After this battle, I plan to ask the general to name it after your last name."
"Name it after my last name?" Kirikiri Takamine's eyes were dull, as if he was overwhelmed by this shocking joy.
Several generals holding the same position nearby gave him envious looks, as if to say, "When you go back, wait for us to drink."
"What's wrong? When you brought the flying thunder as a betrothal gift a few days ago, you looked absent-minded. Cheer up, we still have a tough battle to fight!" Sasayuri patted his shoulder.
Kirikiri Takamine exhaled slightly, his eyes gleaming like two stars, and he shouted loudly: "Yes!"
At Narugami Taisha Shrine, Asase, holding a precious bow in both hands, hurriedly found the chief priest, wanting her to send the bow to the battlefield.
"Master Palace Administrator, please promise me that Gao Ling needs this bow more than anyone else!"
"Relax, the boy will be fine." Hu Zhaigong comforted the girl who had grown up.
If she had known this would happen, she should not have tried to get in the way of the two of them. Now she has wasted the girl's youth and is left half an old woman. That boy is still deeply in love with her. If it were someone else, they would have run away long ago.
"But even if Master Kitsai-gū says so..."
"Don't worry, your most trusted Lord Taishang Yusho will take action soon. Everything will be fine!"
"Lord Taijo Gosho! Where is he?!" Asase looked around, but apart from the shrine maiden, there was no one else around.
"Look, it's coming." Hu Zhaigong pointed to the sky.
There was a man in black clothes swaying, his body covered with thunder, making it impossible to see his face. Beside him, the ghost girl Yu Chiyo was walking in the air.
"Konosai-no-Miya, you and Chiyo go to the Guardian Forest and keep an eye on the monsters over there. Don't let them run around."
"Okay." Kitsuzhaigong jumped up, ran to the ghost girl and hugged her.
Mo Ran flipped his hand and sent the demon and ghost to Zhenshou Forest, while he himself faced the coast...
Being sent to the Kitsuzai Palace near the Guarded Forest, a plan came to his mind as the fox's ears twitched.
"Chiyo, go to the fox tribe's base and wait for me. I'll go and set up the surroundings."
"Yeah." Miyu Chiyo nodded. When it came to major issues, she still had to listen to the fox.
After taking a look at the running ghost girl, Kitsushaigong shook his body, made hand seals at various important locations in the Guarding Forest, and connected the demonic power to the other end of the base.
Then she went to Gobazo and tricked him into believing that she wanted to play hide-and-seek.
“Hehe, you stinky fox. If I hide too well and you really can’t find me, just say you surrender and I will come out right away.” Gobaizang shook his huge body and laughed.
Hu Zhaigong said, "I admit defeat, so you can come out and laugh at me?"
"I am not the kind of greedy monster. If you sincerely beg for mercy, I will not laugh at the loser!"
"Okay, okay, Xiao Wubaizang is hiding now." Hu Zaigong closed his eyes and waited for the other party to hide.
Gobaizang turned around and wiped his face. How could he not know what the situation was outside? It was just that he couldn't help at the moment, so he agreed to this so-called hide-and-seek.
"You stinky fox, I'm going to hide, and you'd better not stand me up. You must find me by yourself, otherwise, I will never talk to you again in this life!" Wu Bai Zang moved his body slowly, and with the help of the junior, he chose a very conspicuous place.
"Stinky fox, you must come back!"
In the fox tribe’s residence.
Miyu Chiyo waited for a long time and finally saw the white-haired fox hurriedly coming. After the demon and the ghost reunited, they looked together at the place full of fox statues.
The lifelike statue looks like a real fox demon in the world, lively and charming, with affectionate eyes.
Kitsuzai Palace made a hand seal towards one of the statues and whispered: "Mingshin's Envoy!"
With a whoosh, a strange wind blew, and the fox statue there became bright and dazzling, and an illusory formation appeared at the foot of the Fox Palace.
"Bai Chen bloodline!" She turned around and pointed in the direction of Ming Shen Taisha, where her descendant, the nine-tailed fox with complete bloodline, Yae Godson, lived.
"The last sentence..." Hu Zhaigong looked thoughtful, thinking that he should combine it with the previous mantra, otherwise it would be very troublesome to unlock the formation later.
Seeing her hesitation, Miyu Chiyo hurriedly advised: "Konosai-no-Miya, hurry up, it may be too late!"
"Okay, that's fine!" Hu Zhaigong pinched his hands and shouted, "Fried tofu, come quickly!"
At a command, the formation began to take effect, and the guarded forest was temporarily put in a safe situation.
On the coastline, a sturdy man carrying a red-horned pestle roared at the monsters in the sea, posing in a posture that he thought was very domineering.
He shouted, "This time I must break off the monster's horns and bring them back. I am the current generation of the King of Lions. Even the giant monster that came across the sea cannot be my opponent!"
"By the way, do we have to shout like this?" Beside him, a man dressed in a yin-yang robe held his head in embarrassment.
"There's nothing we can do. He's the strongest. If you don't mind, I can shout for you." Another man said with his hands spread out.
The man in the yin-yang robe nodded. It would be more painful than death for him to shout that slogan in front of so many people.
"Ahem, the three great warriors of Inazuma, Otemon Arata, Ine Iwazo, and Chogan Kitain have arrived! Monsters disperse, evil spirits retreat!"
"It's still so embarrassing." Naga Kitain held his head and murmured, "I wonder where Lord Shinnosuke is now?"
The Shinnosuke he mentioned was a powerful Onmyoji in the shogunate army. He went to Liyue to learn fairy arts and combined them with Inazuma's Tengu magic to improve the techniques created by his ancestors when they observed the formation.
He officially named this method Onmyojitsu, and founded the Onmyoji Ryo for training the shogunate's army, which greatly improved the army's physical fitness.
He is an indispensable talent in the history of Inazuma.
At this moment, he is gray-haired, because he spent decades creating Yin-Yang magic. Although he has great magical powers and can live longer than ordinary people, he can even place his remaining thoughts in the Shikigami and take a look at the world of the future.
"General Shiki, is everything ready?" Shinnosuke shook the pipe in his hand and looked at the paper shikigami beside him.
"Everything is ready, but... is this really necessary?" General Shiki looked at the seals around him and frowned slightly.
Shinnosuke smiled and said, "Why are you so panicked?"
"Shinnosuke, with all due respect, this isn't worth it. It's not the last moment yet, there's no need to do this!"
"Why is it unnecessary? I believe she is also fighting somewhere. I am doing this just to help her guard this territory and seek peace of mind."
"Then how long do we have to wait?"
"When the evil spirits are no longer rampant, the Inazuma is at peace, and the people we need to protect are safe, our mission will truly be over."
Shinnosuke then said softly, "I promise that if time permits, I will always be here with you, and I will never leave you. This will last until I die!"
"Forget it. Then I will accompany you till the end of this journey." General Shiki shook his head and sighed.
"Haha, thank you so much. It was the right choice to pour my spirituality into you and give you human emotions. I didn't expect that the one who spoke in the end would be you!" Shinnosuke said, and he clasped his hands together, and the sealing technique emerged.
"In the morning there are beautiful women boasting about their lives, but in the evening they become bones and rot in the countryside. It is true, it is true!"
……
The situation inside has been stabilized and the soldiers on the coast are ready for battle.
The monsters on the sea have approached the coast, less than five feet away, and a great battle is about to begin.
Rumble!
Countless thunders fell and struck outside the coast. Wherever they went, all monsters died. The situation on each island was the same.
"General Inazuma, listen up and retreat five miles from the coastal front. No mistakes!"
The deep voice spread throughout Inazuma, and all the soldiers could hear the order. They were ecstatic because this was the order from the Lord Taijogosho, who was rumored to be unparalleled in strength and even more powerful than the Shogun.
"Did you hear that? This is the order from the Grand Master. All troops must retreat five miles!"
"Haha, I never thought that one day I would be able to hear the orders of the Grand Imperial Palace. This life is worth it!"
"Still yelling, go away!"
The defense forces on the various islands all retreated as ordered, while the thunder on the sea became more and more violent, with one bolt of lightning striking down after another. In an instant, the sea was filled with the corpses of monsters.
But this is not the most troublesome part. Once contaminated by the dark and filthy demons, they will be assimilated and turned into monsters.
Mo Ran's duty is to purify all the filth and avoid pollution of the sea, and the formation of the Guarding Forest is to prevent filth from sneaking in.
After all, although it is not very difficult to distinguish the gloomy demonic power and the weird filth, it is difficult to distinguish them during purification.
If all the Yin energy there is drained away, Inazuma's demon clan will hunt him down and fight him to the death.
Thunder rumbled throughout Inazuma, and the instigator of all this, Mo Ran, was standing on the roof of the Narujin Taisha Shrine, his eyes fixed on the castle tower, as if he was saying his final goodbye.
"Little fox, have someone put my body into the room later." Mo Ran looked at the pink-haired fox at his feet and gave the order.
"Chirp!" What responded to him was the fox cry of Yae Shinko.
Mo Ran smiled and said, "Don't pretend. I know you can speak human language, but if you don't want to say it, then don't say it!"
"So, you know everything." Yae Shinto lowered his fox ears, feeling a little embarrassed.
Mo Ran nodded slightly, then sat down cross-legged. The holy purifying power surged out of his body, and every island, including the filth in the deep sea, was pulled into his body at this moment.
Beside him, dressed in black, the Eightfold God Son saw that he was in a trance and said respectfully, "Eightfold God Son, I will obey the master's orders!"
Not long after, Mo Ran felt his body become extremely heavy. This was not the first time he had experienced this feeling. Even after absorbing all the filth, it was not enough to cause him to have such a feeling.
Then there is only one possibility left, that the lightning really triggered the effect of the life-saving doll...
…………
Castle tower.
When Lei Dianying woke up, he looked at the empty room. There was a chess piece on the table, flashing dazzling light.
"Sister...'s Heart of God?" Lei Dianying's eyes were filled with doubt, and at the same time, she had a bad premonition in her heart, because she once again could not feel the origin.
This time, not only her brother's origin disappeared, but even her sister's original aura disappeared without a trace, without any warning. She was left alone.
Unable to accept this fact, she rushed out of the castle tower and cried loudly in the clouds. Thunder roared in all directions, but no one knew that this was the grief of a sister who thought her loved one had passed away.
Lei Dianying looked up at the sky and roared, "Why? Why are so many people like this? Why am I the only one left?"
