Inside the Gui Palace.
Bang.
The tea on the low table was completely overturned, and the tea spilled all over the tatami underneath.
"What a joke!!"
Hanakaiin Huiwu's glasses fell off halfway, his eyes were red, and he said angrily:
"In one night, four of the eight sealing nodes were broken, and the entire seal was broken by someone using the barrier technique!"
"Some of my Hanakaiin family died in the battle, some disappeared, and the heads of the four families were swallowed up by the monster group. That's it, and those shrine families came out to blame us for the failure?"
"Those bastards, how dare they!!"
"Calm down, Huiwu." The hooded little girl, 'Hanakaiin Pohu', whispered, "The master is still here."
"How can you ask me to calm down?"
Hanakaiin Huigo angrily took off his glasses and said angrily:
"Eight sealed locations: Nijo Castle, Shokoku-ji Temple, Rokuon-ji Temple, Nishi-Hongan-ji Temple, Seiji Temple, Ryoan-ji Temple, Katsura Imperial Villa, and Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine."
"Except for Inari Taisha, which declined support, we sent personnel to support other locations. As a result, those monks patted their butts, handed over the defense to us, and ran away."
"You usually collect the money so diligently, but now that you're in trouble, you run faster than us? And after you're done, you blame us for fighting against Yuyuko and destroying their temple?"
"What the hell is this logic?!"
"It is said that it was one of the six sects who instructed them not to resist."
A patriarch of the Huakaiyuan family sneered:
"After all, this is a matter of Onmyoji and the Hanakaiin family who are responsible for the seal. It has nothing to do with their Northern Buddhism."
"Say less."
Hua Kaiyuan Pohu sighed, glanced at Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan who was sitting in the main seat, and then frowned and said:
"What we need to study now is the seal of Yuyuko."
"I can understand that the seals of Nijo Castle, Shokokuji Temple, Seiji Temple, and Ryoanji Temple were broken, but the other four sealed places, especially the Katsura Palace, which is the main family, were fine. How could the seals be broken by someone using a barrier technique? This doesn't make sense!!"
"Master, did the 13th generation ancestor Xiu Yuan say anything? He was the one who set the seal back then. What went wrong now that would cause the seal to be completely unsealed when it was only half broken?"
Being asked this question in person, many Onmyojis focused their attention on the contemporary Lao Xiuyuan.
Seeing this, Lao Xiuyuan was silent for a moment and sighed:
"You are not unaware of this matter."
"Now the Guili Palace has undergone some modernization."
Hua Kaiyuan Pohu was dumbfounded when he heard this:
"What? Does it mean that modernization has destroyed the structure of the seal?"
"Don't make me laugh. Katsura Imperial Palace is a place that doesn't even have air conditioning and needs a stove to cook. How could you have installed a pipe many years ago?... Wait, are they those temples?"
The poor man in Huakaiyuan's house suddenly turned green.
The Hanakaiin family has a lifespan curse for generations and must study Yin-Yang magic in depth if they want to live longer. This is different from the Hanakaiin family who are fighting against the deadly curse of the Feathered Fox.
Temples in island countries are family businesses, and the abbots are all civil servants.
Especially the temples in Kyoto, which are very popular. In addition, they operate land and funeral industries, so everyone is very rich.
It is no exaggeration to say that these "abbots" are the rich second generation of religion. How could they tolerate the inconvenience of ancient buildings? So they naturally accepted the industries and modernized their residences.
Since it was just a minor renovation of the building, just adding air conditioners, refrigerators, gas pipes, sewers and the like, it was a renovation that was carried out slowly over decades. In addition, the Huakaiyuan family was not the superior of those temple families, so the renovation was completed with a blunt knife.
By modern society, not to mention sealing it, even the natural pulse has been diverted by these monks who drink, eat meat, pick up girls and play electronic music.
Now, here come the consequences!
What’s even more infuriating is that it was their Huakaiyuan family that had to bear the brunt of this “bitter fruit”.
"Then what should we do next?" Huakaiyuan Pohu didn't even talk about repairing the barrier.
The sealed area has been changed beyond recognition. Instead of repairing the barrier, it would be better to let the 13th generation Xiu Yuan design a new barrier.
But the problem is that the land of the island country, especially the temples, are people’s ancestral property.
If you want to make moves on someone's ancestral property, then the Hanakaiin family will become the 'feathered fox' in the eyes of the temple.
"The feathered fox has already settled in Nijo Castle." Old Xiuyuan sighed: "According to estimates, the Nue will be reborn in 7 days at most."
"In other words, we are going to play a tough battle?"
The heads of the various branches of the Hanakaiin family below were silent.
Attack Nijo Castle, which is being fully protected by the Hagoromo Clan, and possibly with the help of the Gokadoin and Tsuchimikado families.
That city is simply an unbreakable fortress.
This will cost human lives!
How many more people can be sacrificed in the Huakaiyuan family?
But if Nue were to be resurrected, could the Hanakaiin family, who had been against him for generations, be let off?
Death is the answer either way, which puts everyone in an unspeakable dilemma.
"We can only try our best to seek help from various forces." Huakaiyuan Pohu sighed.
When Huakaiyuan Huiwu heard this, he said angrily:
"Who to ask for help?"
"The warriors are okay, at least they will come out for the sake of order, but don't expect them to clean up the feathered fox."
"It goes without saying that the six Buddhist sects were the ones who had stopped the people from resisting before."
"Onmyoji, huh, with the Tsuchimikado and Gomonin families getting in the way, we can't rely on them at all?"
"Among the remaining official forces, the most effective way to ask for help is to ask for help from the United Nations. But if we ask for help from the United Nations without going through the hierarchy, people will come and our Hanakaiyuan family will definitely be swallowed up by those jackals from the island nation."
"Except for these, who else can we ask for help? Those inhuman aliens?"
Hearing this, the heads of the Huakaiyuan family had strange expressions on their faces.
As for whether there is any non-human alien who can come to help the Huakaiyuan family, it seems that there really is one.
It's just a bit too rogue.
Just as the members of the Hanakaiin family were thinking this, a male voice suddenly rang out.
"Hey, aren't these the little guys from my brothers' family?"
The sudden voice, and the handsome young man with long black hair who came in at the same time, holding a dogtail grass in his mouth, made the expressions of everyone in the Huakaiyuan family freeze.
"At this time, shouldn't we hold a banquet to entertain our poor relatives?"
Nurarihyon rubbed his hands with a smile and pointed at the large number of Nurarihyon monsters behind him.
Seeing the huge number of monsters, the heads of the Hanakaiin family turned green in the face.
Especially old Xiuyuan, it was both funny and distressing.
What’s funny is that the old guys from the Nura group are willing to come and help even though they haven’t been in touch for hundreds of years, but what’s distressing is the future expenses of the family.
These monsters are really good at eating!
One demon can beat ten cows. If there are hundreds of demons, would you be scared?
But since they are here, you can't just ignore their meals and ask them to bring their own food, right?
They really dislike them, but that doesn't stop the Hanakaiin family from treating the Nura clan as an important ally.
It’s just that before, they didn’t want to embarrass their brothers for the sake of face, but now their brothers are embarrassing them first, so they don’t care about face anymore.
In the midst of laughter and helplessness, the heads of the Huakaiyuan family looked at each other, then gritted their teeth and said:
"A party, huh? Let's have it! Let's have it as hard as we can!!"
Hearing this, Nurarihyon laughed, turned around and raised his hand towards the monsters outside and said:
"Young men, it's time to have a party!"
"Oh————!!"
The monsters screamed wildly, their voices echoing through the sky.
Chapter 393 Tokisaki Kurumi's Suspicion
Nijo Castle, Kyoto.
Under the well-maintained ancient building is a dark tunnel with no visible depth.
This is a secret passage leading out of the city that was built during the period when the Tokugawa Shogunate controlled the island country.
However, in the eyes of some insiders who are on the mysterious side, this place has another name~.
[Between the Nues]
As the name suggests, it is the room belonging to Nue, which is also the place where Nue was born.
At this time, there were no torches to illuminate the secret passage, which was dark but relatively dry.
Two people, ignoring the darkness, walked down it.
'Abe Yuyuki', wearing a baggy Taoist robe, led Luo Shu and Dalian Temple Suzuka to the nue deep in the secret passage.
"Oh my, I have to say that Angelina's skills are really amazing. She was able to let me impersonate to the point where even this texture can be seen."
'Abe Yuyuki' stepped on the stairs while pulling his cheek with the thumb and index finger of his right hand.
And the voice that came from his mouth was naturally Tokisaki Kurumi's sweet female voice that was elegant yet secretly crazy.
Looking at Tokisaki Kurumi who was speaking with the appearance of Abe Yuki, Luo Shu couldn't help but look at her a little more and complained:
"Honestly, you look like this, but you speak in your natural voice, which is really quite peaceful."
"oh?"
When Tokisaki Kurumi heard this, she slightly turned her head and looked back, giving Luo Shu a teasing look, and then she cried:
"Oh, oh, oh... So, Shu-kun is also someone who only cares about my appearance?"
"I clearly thought that Shu-jun was different from other men, but in the end..."
Seeing Tokisaki Kurumi who was in a playful mood, Luo Shu couldn't help but sigh and said helplessly:
"The way I look at you now is like seeing a cute calico cat suddenly wearing the appearance of a Tibetan mastiff."
Tokisaki Kurumi paused and said with disgust:
"Can you please not use such disgusting metaphors?"
After saying that, she stuck out her tongue and said:
"Okay, okay, I know I was wrong, I won't tease you anymore."
"Let's get down to business, shall we?"
"You disgust me, but I didn't say anything?" Luo Shu looked at Kuang San with contempt and snorted.
'You flirted in front of me, and I didn't say anything?'
Dalian Temple Suzuka, who was following at the end, also complained in her heart.
At this moment, Luo Shu suddenly stopped, and Daliansi Suzuka bumped into his back before he was prepared.
"Ouch." Dalian Temple Suzuka cried out softly and looked up at the front in surprise.
Just at this moment, her eyes passed Luo Shu and saw a huge natural cave.
"Are you there?"
Dalian Temple Suzuka poked her head out from behind Luo Shu and looked at the cave in front of her curiously.
Inside the huge cave, several torches cast flickering flames all around.
And in the middle area illuminated by the torches was a bottomless dark pool.
Faintly, Dalian Temple Suzuka could sense an extremely negative spiritual force from the deep pool.
