I’m a Witch In Dongying

　　 An opponent who can make aunt's grandma break into the sand...

　　 If she is still alive, it is indeed not something that Bai Shuiqiu can explore at will. If possible, she doesn't want to confront that level of existence.

but……

Judging from what Yunv said before and the mud-wrapped monsters that appeared in the Painted Skin incident, the situation does not seem to be so optimistic. Even if Bai Shuiqiu chooses not to move, "they" may take the initiative to come to the door. .

　　 Even if I don’t know the exact identity of "they", Bai Shuiqiu doesn’t think that the other party came here to drink tea. It’s more likely that I’m going to come here to seek revenge...

　　……

　　 "Huh..."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu exhaled silently, and did not continue discussing this somewhat heavy topic.

　　 After saying goodnight to his grandmother, he took the black box containing the ghost cut in his arms, slowly got up from the coffee table, and retreated all the way back to his room.

　　At this time, it's already very late.

　　Considering that tomorrow is Monday, I have to get up early to go to school...

　　 Bai Shuiqiu can only put a closer look at the ghost cutting plan and put it aside for now, and carefully put the black box containing the ghost cutting in the cabinet by the bed, and placed it in the same place with the knife rack of Xuezou——

　　 This knife holder was still brought from Keiko Kandaji. The quaint paulownia wood floor was carved with a star and moon pattern, which matched the eyes of Bai Shuiqiu, so she exchanged it with a stack of guards. However, on this trip to Yachiyo City, Bai Shuiqiu also saw some knife holders at Tsuda Swordsman, and asked a few words about the price.

　　The result obtained can only be said to be much higher than the number she originally expected...

　　 If I want to come to this one given by Keiko Kanda, it shouldn't be cheap.

　　 But the exchange has already been changed, and Bai Shuiqiu can't take the initiative to return it. I can only do other things to compensate Keiko Kamidai a little to make up for the difference...

　　 After setting up the ghost cut.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu went on to tidy up the pile of things beside the bed.

　　 I took clothes directly to the bathroom and threw them in the tub next to the washing machine.

The corpse and horns of the ghost boy were separately wrapped tightly, sealed with a few talisman urns, and stuffed into the cabinet. They were going to contact Fujiwara Nanami during the daytime tomorrow, and then deal with it.

　　 As for the wind raccoon...

　　 After a few hours of rest, this little thing has recovered some vitality, and it is no longer the sickness after fighting with the ghost boy, but it still looks a little weak.

　　While Bai Shuiqiu was packing up his things, the little thing just raised his head and glanced, and then lay back silently.

"Ok?"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu quickly noticed the appearance of the wind raccoon and frowned a little uneasy.

　　 "This guy...couldn't he be beaten by a ghost boy and shut himself down?"

Speaking of it, the wind raccoon's experience today is indeed a bit miserable. Neither the painting skins, the Inu Gods, nor the other ghosts and monsters have caused such serious damage to it. If there is any psychological problem due to this encounter, The problem...It doesn't seem to be that incomprehensible.

　　 Therefore, after Bai Shuiqiu finished the work in his hands, he went to sit down in front of the wind raccoon and exchanged a few words with this little thing patiently.

　　 Feng Tan's response was normal, as if it hadn't been affected mentally.

　　 But looking at its listless appearance, Bai Shuiqiu couldn't figure it out for a while, whether this little thing was really safe or silly, and he didn't even know what was happening to him.

　　 "Should... nothing will happen..."

　　 "After all, the body of this guy is the wind, I have never heard that the wind demon can still get sick..."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu rubbed his chin, thinking inwardly.

In any case, the wind raccoon is her first shikigami. During this period of time, she has really provided her with a lot of help when dealing with the demon and the like. Now this abnormal situation has suddenly appeared, she is the master, There is still a little worry.

　　 "If it doesn't work, when I go to school tomorrow, let the old monsters help me see..."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu made up his mind

Chapter 283 Thunderous Jade

The 　　 ghost boy matter, here is a temporary stop.

　　 Anyway, there are no other accomplices around this guy, and the rest is nothing more than some finishing work. The police in Yachiyo City can handle it, and there is no need to worry too much.

　　 On her side, apart from the ghost boy's body that needs to be dealt with as soon as possible, other things are not too important, it doesn't matter whether it is sooner or later.

　　 So Bai Shuiqiu’s attention quickly shifted from the ghost boy to another thing——

　　【Limited time mission: Investigate and retire the ghost boy who is active in Yachiyo City, completed】

　　【Reward for mission: Mingleiyu】

　　……

　　 This thing called [Mingleiyu] is the reward for the task after the ghost boy was eliminated.

　　 Like its name, this thing is indeed a piece of jade.

　　 To be more precise, it is a group of [Gou Yu].

　　 There are a total of four jade shaped like crescents. The whole body is bright white, and only a part of the center of the jade is outlined with a few blue arcs. When Bai Shuiqiu held it with the palm of his hand and was reflected in the light of a table lamp, several gouyu jade pieces exuded a nearly transparent crystal texture, as if they merged with the white jade-like palms, and they couldn't distinguish each other.

　　【Ming Thunder Jade: A simple gou jade that stores the power of thunder and lightning. It can be used in conjunction with spells to burn and kill enemies with swift thunder and lightning. It has additional lethality against evil things hidden in the dark

　　 (Note: When the power of thunder and lightning in the Gouyu is exhausted, it needs to be stored in a thunderstorm before it can be used)]

　　 The text description is very simple, but the amount of information contained in it is not small.

　　 "Storing lightning..."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu squinted his eyes slightly, and his fingers rubbed the surface of a few gou jade.

　　 I don't know if it was the illusion that occurred after seeing these two lines of text.

She really seemed to feel a subtle thunder and electricity from the top of the jade, flowing faintly inside the jade, like liquid flowing in a water sac, but the power contained in it was faintly letting People are shocked, even more abundant than the previous [Golden Talisman].

　　 Gouyu is a very ancient magic weapon.

The origin of 　　 can be traced back to the Jomon period, and the time axis is roughly parallel to the Qin and Han periods in China.

　　 The early gou jade was once widely used as sacrificial offerings and decorations, and appeared in ancient Japanese witchcraft and tomb culture.

According to historical records, in the Yayoi era, Himiko, the earliest maiden ancestor of Japan and Queen of Yamadai, once dispatched envoys to Cao Wei to offer gou jade and pearls to the then Emperor Wei Ming. The visitor received a bronze mirror and silk in return.

　　 In the years that followed, Gouyu gradually evolved into a communication tool between clergy and gods, and at the same time played the role of amulets and spellcasting medium.

　　 At the same time, because this kind of thing is believed to have the power to "improve fortune" and "repel demons," many nobles also wear it on their bodies to protect themselves.

The most famous gou jade in Japanese history is naturally the legendary Amaterasu Omikaku [Hachijo Gyuu] held by the legendary Amaterasu. The latter is listed as the three artifacts in the Japanese mythology system alongside [Ten Cong Yun Sword] and [Yata Mirror]. The Japanese imperial house has been passed down from generation to generation.

　　 But the truth of this news is a bit debatable...

After all, not many people have seen the so-called three artifacts with their own eyes. Except for the Yata Mirror, which is enshrined in Ise Shrine in Mie Prefecture, the other two only exist in the official text description, claiming to hold them by the Japanese imperial family. , I have never shown these things to the public, maybe these two artifacts were fictitious from the beginning.

　　 Speaking of...

In fact, there are also several artifacts in the shape of gouyu in the Tenme Shrine.

　　 In Bai Shuiqiu’s impression, Chiyo had a necklace made of gouache and pearls. When the latter went out to help others to remove demons, he would often wear it on his body. It is said to have the effect of suppressing evil spirits.

Of course……

　　 The effect of restraining evil spirits may be true.

　　Because Bai Shuiqiu had seen the necklace several times at close range, and felt the spiritual power contained in it. But that spiritual power is actually very weak. Although it can be regarded as a magic weapon to ward off evil spirits, it is not comparable to the magic weapon that can cure evil spirits like Zi Gong, so she has not paid much attention to it.

　　 But now...

　　 Bai Shuiqiu finally had a bunch of genuine gou jade artifacts in his hands.

　　 And judging from the text description of [Mingleiyu], these Gouyu jade seem to be very simple.

　　 After all, it can control lightning, but it is a very powerful ability...

　　 Whether it is Taoism in China or Shintoism in Japan, thunder and lightning contains some extraordinary meanings, and it is almost innate to restrain and kill evil spirits.

　　The spells that control thunder and lightning, the so-called "five thunder rectification", are advanced spells that only a few practitioners are qualified to touch.

　　 Strictly speaking, [Mingleiyu] Compared with the real thunder method, it is still a bit less interesting.

　　 After all, this thing is just a magic weapon, and the power of thunder and lightning stored in it is also very limited. The blue arc on the surface of each jade is actually just one, but the shape looks winding, like lightning. If nothing else, there should be a lightning bolt stored in each Gouyu, a total of four.

　　 If all the four lightning bolts are used up, I will probably have to start storing again...

　　 But Bai Shuiqiu has no idea about how to put lightning into Gouyu.

　　 You can’t just find a thunderstorm and hang it on the lightning rod on Gouyu, and then throw it on the roof to attract thunder and lightning, right?

　　 Even if it is a magic weapon, if it is really split twice, I am afraid it will be broken...

　　 Bai Shuiqiu shook his head, putting aside this somewhat absurd idea.

　　 Then he found a red string from the drawer, connected the four 【Mingleiyu】 one by one, and tied them to his wrist.

　　 In fact, the size of [Mingleiyu] is more suitable as earrings and put on the ears. Or it can be strung together with stones such as pearls and crystals to form a necklace and hung around the neck.

　　 But Bai Shuiqiu's neck is already hung with a blue resentment wind chime. Although both are artifacts produced by the system, there must be a first-come-first-served relationship...

　　 "If you have the opportunity, I still think of a way to try the effect of this gou jade..."

　　Thunder and lightning are not as easy to control as the flames of the fire bell and the rain of the rain curse. Even if you waste one time, you must have a bottom in your heart.

Chapter 284 Have you come into contact with the ghosts of the ghost race?

　　 The night is deep.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu yawned, feeling a surge of fatigue.

What happened during the day today is indeed a bit more. After returning from Yachiyo City, she didn't have much rest. She heard her grandmother talk about the ghost cut. All kinds of messy information flooded in, and her brain was a little bit insufficient. used.

　　 I didn't think too much about it at all.

　　 It took two minutes to organize the textbooks and homework for class tomorrow, put them in the school bag, then put on loose pajamas and went to bed.

　　 I slept very heavily this night.

It was not until five o'clock in the morning the next morning that Bai Shuiqiu was awakened by the bedside alarm, then rubbed his eyes and got up from the bed, ran to the stream in the back mountain and punched twice, and waited. When she was slightly hot, she turned around and went back to the shrine to have breakfast with Hyuga Asuka.

　　 During this process, Chiyo has also prepared lunch boxes for the two of them.

　　 Both of them thanked each other, put the lunch box into their school bag, and then left the shrine together and walked down the mountain.

　　When I was tens of meters away from the foot of the mountain, I saw the silver-gray car of the Jindai family steadily parked by the roadside. Keiko and Ryoko were standing next to the car door. It seemed that they had been waiting here for a while.

　　 "Xiao Qiu, good morning."

　　 When I saw Bai Shuiqiu and Hyuga Asuka, Keiko Kandaro moved the corner of his mouth and raised a bright smiling face: "And Asuka-classmate, early."

　　 "Eiko, early..."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu paused and responded with a smile, and then noticed that Keiko Kashiro's eyes moved. She looked up and down with her eyes, and the sudden focus of her gaze made her feel a little weird.

　　 "What's wrong, Keiko?"

　　 "It's nothing, but it always feels like something is different from you before..."

"what?"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu smiled a little surprised.

　　 After all, she and Keiko Kashiro hadn't seen each other for two days. Naturally, there would be no change in such a short period of time. To talk about the traces left by the battle with Onidouzi in Yachiyo City on the weekend...have been cleaned a long time ago. When she went out in the morning, she deliberately looked in the mirror, and there were no scars on her face or body.

"Well……"

　　Kamidai Keiko groaned, his eyes circled around Bai Shuiqiu's body, suddenly noticed her wrist, and raised her delicate eyebrows lightly:

　　 "Hey, Xiao Qiu, is this string of gou jade you bought this weekend? It looks pretty good."

　　 It is the mid-summer of June. Bai Shuiqiu is wearing short sleeves and most of his arms are exposed. The red rope and gou jade tied to his white wrist still look very eye-catching.

　　 "Is that so..."

Bai Shuiqiu followed the sight of Keiko Kandaji, glanced at his wrist, and smiled slightly: "This thing is actually not a jewelry, but a special magical artifact. I just got it in the past two days... I’m afraid it’s not available on the market..."

etc……

　　Speaking of this, Bai Shuiqiu suddenly had a meal.

Speaking of it, Gouyu is not uncommon. In ancient times, because of low productivity and high-quality jade production was scarce, only a few nobles and clergy could own it. But nowadays, there are more circulated in the market, even if It is a top-quality product with a relatively good color. As long as you have money, you can buy a lot.

　　 Maybe, you can try to make gou jade products yourself?
