Volume 41 Inuyasha (Part ): Chapter Chapter Yunhe's Room Back Then
……
"This room is where Yunhe once lived, and from now on, it will be where you rest in the shrine."
The priest Qinghe brought Yuzhongjin to an attic.
"Yunhe's room? Is it really okay for me to live here?"
Yuzhongjin asked in confusion.
"That's what she meant."
The priest Qinghe only took out the previous letter and took out a page from it and handed it to Yuzhuanjin. It was full of "instructions" that Yunhe had specifically given.
Yu Zhuanjin took a look and wrote more than ten lines.
There was a proposal to ask Qinghe to teach her more advanced spells, and to open the first few levels of authority in the shrine's library, and there were eight or nine similar ones.
Those who don’t know might think that this is a hegemonic regulation obtained from some unscrupulous businessman.
I don’t know, I’m scared.
Yu Zhuanjin initially thought it was just an ordinary recommendation, but the content of the letter was completely different.
"No, you don't have to go to that extent. I just came here to practice."
When Yu Zhuanjin saw the last one, Yunhe deliberately left a space to indicate a special case, which was referring to this room, which would be managed by her from now on.
"Those are the little things."
In response, the priest Qinghe said that there was no need to worry, and then he took out the key and opened the door of the room. Instead of the expected dusty scene, the room was exceptionally clean. Specific locations such as the door frame and windows were covered with "cleanliness" talismans.
Yu Zhuanjin stepped over the threshold. The layout of the house was very simple and rustic. Presumably, the important items to Yunhe had been taken away long ago.
Put your hand on the cabinet beside you. Hmm~ Even if there is the power of the talisman, it is inevitable that there will be dust after so many years. Qinghe Priest also noticed this problem and was about to speak...
"…Palace Chief? You are here! I am afraid there is something that I need you to handle personally."
At this time, two middle-aged priests in light purple robes came anxiously. When Su Yue and Xi Zhao saw them, they immediately bowed their heads and said respectfully, "Master Quan Gongsi, Master Ni Yi."
Obviously, these two priests who are over 40 years old are the second and third in command of Hikawa Shrine.
"Hmm~ What's wrong?"
Frowning slightly, Priest Qinghe asked.
"Regarding the ceremony this afternoon..."
In response, the powerful palace official said in a low voice.
However, the content was somewhat obscure, so that the following words could not be heard clearly. We only knew that it was related to a ceremony, but what was that ceremony?
unknown.
"……No way?!"
However, after hearing what was said, Qinghe Priest was a little surprised, then nodded solemnly and responded, "I understand!"
"Master, what's wrong?"
Sunset stepped forward and asked.
"No, it's okay."
Priest Qinghe did not answer, but looked at her two disciples and continued, "Suyue, Xizhao, your mission of guarding the mountain gate ends today, but there is still one thing you need to complete. Clean up this room in the afternoon and return to the temple tomorrow to continue practicing spiritual spells."
"Yes!"
Suyue and Xizhao immediately said excitedly, and even held their hands together, that they could finally say goodbye to the boring life of cleaning the shrine all day long.
"besides……"
Priest Qinghe looked at Yuzhongjin again and continued, "Fushimi Miko, I'm sorry, I have something important to deal with here, so I have to leave first today."
After that, without waiting for Yuzhongjin to say anything, he hurriedly left with the two priests.
When the two priests left, they also looked back at Yuzhongjin, who was being taken care of by Qinghe priest. Fushimi? They didn't pay much attention to this common name.
“You’re so polite~”
Yu Zhuanjin didn't know what to say.
I didn't expect Yunhe's name to be so useful here. Even people of Qinghe Priest's status treated her with courtesy.
"Yoshi, let's get started!"
Sunset raised the broom, feeling that the profession was right.
"It doesn't have to be that complicated. You can just use a spell to clean the room."
In response to this, Yu Zhuanjin spoke up to remind them.
"Ah~"
Xizhao was suddenly embarrassed and stood there.
"Well, actually..."
Su Yue was speechless for a moment.
"……What's wrong?"
Yu Zhuanjin took out two paper figures from his arms, formed seals with his hands, and silently chanted: "Void Spirit, descend upon his body, and give my command, initiate!"
The "spirit-enabling" technique controls paper figures to do simple tasks on behalf of the caster, such as cleaning or tidying up. The two paper figures become the size of ordinary people and start to pick up the dust with brooms.
"Amazing!"
Suyue and Xizhao were suddenly surprised.
"This should be a very simple spell."
Yuzhongjin tilted his head and said.
"Actually, we can't use spiritual spells."
Su Yue and Xi Zhao looked at each other and then hesitantly said, "I don't know why, but every time we use a spiritual spell, it fails or even explodes. No matter how many times we practice, we still haven't learned a single one. It feels like our spiritual power will never be effective. We clearly use all our strength, but in the end, inexplicably, it's out of control and only returns to 30%..."
"Is there such a thing?"
Yuzhongjin was also surprised.
"Well, maybe, maybe it's just because we're not old enough yet. Maybe it will be fine in a few years."
After that, Xizhao boasted, "Our mother was also a famous witch in the past, and our spiritual power is also outstanding. At least the explosions we often make can be felt even if you are more than a hundred meters away!"
"Idiot! That last sentence isn't something you can brag about!"
Su Yue couldn't help but shout.
"Ah, really?"
Hearing this, Xizhao even asked back.
"Are you twin sisters? Su Yue and Xi Zhao, the moon at dawn and the sun at dusk, what a good pair of names."
Yuzhongjin said with a smile.
"Of course! I'm the older sister."
Su Yue raised his chin slightly and said proudly.
"No, no, no, I am the older sister. I am the sun and you are the moon. Isn't this obvious?"
Xizhao immediately shook his head and retorted.
"How do you look like my sister? You were just born a few seconds earlier than me. If we only talk about the demeanor of the eldest daughter, am I not more like my sister than you?"
"Can you tell me what's different about me?"
"Do I need to speak frankly about this?"
Two twelve-year-old girls got into a heated discussion about the difference between the elder and the younger. Although the topic was very intense, they surprisingly did not lose their tempers and were simply arguing.
It seems that the relationship is very good.
In response, Yuzhong Jin didn't say anything more, but just looked around the room and noticed a sword placed in front of the stage.
Curiously walking forward, Yu Zhuanjin drew out the sword and examined it carefully. The blade emitted a deadly cold light, and under the afternoon sun, only a chilling feeling came...
Yu Zhuanjin suddenly remembered that Yunhe had said before that his best weapon was a sharp blade, and this cold sword was placed in the room where the latter lived in the past. It should be the weapon that the latter had used before.
It's a good sword, impeccable.
It feels much heavier than a bow and arrow.
Yu Zhuanjin grasped the hilt of the sword, weighed it twice, then put it back in its original place.
……
Today's normal update (1/2).
Volume 42 Inuyasha (Part ): Chapter Chapter Library
……
After tidying up the room in the afternoon, Suyue and Xizhao spontaneously took Yuzhongjin for a walk around the shrine twice to familiarize themselves with the layout in case they got lost later.
Omiya Hikawa Shrine, as the head shrine of more than 200 Hikawa Shrines, is not just about the main shrine for worshipping gods. The shrine is built on the top of a mountain and has dozens of buildings including the main shrine, the coin shrine, the worship shrine, the dance shrine and the kagura shrine.
In the forests on both sides of the approach to the temple, there are many shrines dedicated to subordinate gods. If you are not careful, even a shrine maiden who is familiar with the environment may get lost...
"Xi Zhao, is this the way to the side hall?"
"Trust my judgment, keep going north. Even if you go the wrong way, the most you'll end up going down the mountain!"
Suyue and Xizhao whispered to each other.
Only Yuzhong Jin thought that the two of them were reliable and would at least not make such a stupid mistake as getting lost in their own shrine.
So, an hour later...
"Ah~ Your shrine is really huge."
Yuzhong Jin said this with emotion as he walked out of the forest path.
"Yeah yeah!"
"That's right!"
Su Yue Yu Xi Zhao quickly echoed.
"Ouch~"
Fu Fu, who saw through everything, remained silent.
Afterwards, Suyue and Xizhao took Yuzhongjin to the library, and the one guarding the library was an elderly priestess with great experience.
"...A new shrine maiden? I see. The chief priest informed me before. The library has three floors. You can browse the first two floors at will." The old shrine maiden hunched over and nodded slightly to Yuzhongjin.
"Thank you."
For this, Yuzhongjin also expressed his gratitude.
It was not until seven quarters after the afternoon when the sky gradually turned dark and the afterglow of the setting sun became beautiful. Suyue and Xizhao went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for Yuzhuanjin.
Seeing this, Yuzhongjin suddenly realized that it was already this time, so he decided to spend the night at the shrine.
It is worth mentioning that throughout the afternoon, Yuzhongjin did not see the priest Qinghe again. It was not until later that he heard from Suyue that the other party had left the shrine again in the afternoon.
It's really busy.
……
It was late at night and the darkness fell.
Yet the stone lanterns surrounding the shrine were ablaze, and the sacred place was never shrouded in darkness, nor was the brightness of the bright moon in the sky, unobstructed by the clouds, shining upon the world.
Yuzhongjin spread out the bedding in the room, then looked at the two girls beside him and said, "Actually, there's no need to entertain me to this extent..."
I saw Su Yue and Xi Zhao spreading their bedding next to me, and it seemed that they were going to sleep here tonight.
"No~"
