The sharp claws kept waving, chopping off the trees beside it. The wolf demon rushed straight forward like a gray shadow. The two sides quickly exchanged positions. Yu Zhuanjin leaped into the air, spiritual power burst out with one hand, and swung out a large curtain of brilliant rainbow light.
Two figures were entangled here.
……
"Fushimi Miko is so handsome!"
Although their master, the priest Qinghe, can kill mid-level monsters in one move, in the eyes of Suyue and Xizhao, Yuzhongjin's posture is more gorgeous.
He kept dodging the wolf demon's fierce attacks and was even able to shoot arrows in retaliation. His movements were sharp and flexible, and his momentum was as stunning as an invisible shadow.
In the eyes of Qinghe priest, Yuzhongjin's combat awareness is also remarkable, and he is very adept at using the magic-breaking arrows that are essential for a shrine maiden.
Unfortunately, however, the wolf demon was definitely not something that a newly minted shrine maiden could handle.
unless……
"Cursed Burial Lock!"
A blue chain of magic power emerged from the ground and wrapped around the wolf demon. The pressure descended upon it, instantly weakening most of its chaotic demonic power.
Yu Zhuanjin immediately looked at the priest Qinghe, who simply nodded slightly, indicating that he should use all his strength to defeat the wolf demon.
——Explosive magic-breaking arrow!
Yu Zhuanjin drew his bow and gathered his strength. The wolf demon, entangled in chains, was unable to move its body. It just bared its ferocious fangs and stared at the holy arrow that was shining brightly and became more and more dazzling.
The demon spirit is sealed!
-
[Seal the demon spirit (R)*1]
[Reward: Gold Coins*507]
-
[Special Mission: Seal three demon spirits (R).]
[Current progress: 2/3]
-
Putting down the bow in his hand, Yu Zhuanjin breathed a sigh of relief.
……
"Failure is simply incomprehensible."
After the training, Qinghe Priest returned to the shrine and began to lecture his two useless disciples: "I can understand that you didn't defeat the monster. After all, it was not something you could solve. But in front of that monster, you didn't even use a spell..."
"No~"
Su Yue and Xi Zhao sat obediently in the community hall, with their heads lowered, listening to their master's scolding.
"Well, since you haven't abandoned each other and run away alone, I'll let it go this time. Next time I train with you, I'll find some monsters with similar strength to you as opponents. I hope you won't embarrass me again by then. If you have any questions, you can always come and ask me."
After saying that, Priest Qinghe sighed and left, because he still had many things to deal with in the afternoon.
"call--!"
Suyue and Xizhao both breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Yu Zhuanjin, who had been standing outside the door for a long time, also walked into the house. In order to prevent Su Yue and Xi Zhao from holding a grudge, he said to them, "Don't think your master is so strict. In fact, I think he cares about you two very much, otherwise he wouldn't say so much."
"Hey, of course we know that."
However, Xizhao raised her head, still smiling playfully, and was not unhappy at all about being scolded by the Qinghe priest, because they all knew that they were the ones who made the mistake. They were clearly able to cast the spell, but they were too panicked and just ran away.
"Suyue, is your foot okay?"
Yu Zhuanjin turned his head and looked at Su Yue who was silent.
"Of course! Master has already applied the medicine for me."
After saying that, Su Yue raised his foot to show off to Yu Zhuan Jin.
"That's good."
Yuzhongjin nodded slightly.
"But I'm afraid I can't go out and play these days."
Xizhao said regretfully that if Suyue got into trouble, she had to be by his side.
"In that case, how about we go to the library together? It would be nice to rest quietly there."
Yuzhongjin suggested.
In fact, she wanted to go on her own, and take the sisters to study together.
"The library..."
Suyue and Xizhao looked at each other.
They all looked hesitant.
Why would you hesitate about this kind of thing?
It feels like there's something else going on.
"Well, actually you don't have to go, but I'll leave Fu Fu there..."
Since Su Yue and Xi Zhao are in such a difficult situation, Yu Zhuan Jin naturally won't force them.
"...No, we are going!"
Hearing Fu Fu's name, Su Yue and Xi Zhao both raised their hands to vote to Yu Zhuan Jin.
"That's it..."
In fact, what Yu Zhuanjin wanted to say just now was that she left Fu Fu in the library and could call him over to play with Su Yue and Xi Zhao for a while later.
……
Hikawa Shrine, inside the library.
The old priestess who was guarding the attic heard the noise, so she opened one eye and noticed Yuzhongjin stepping over the threshold and the pair of sisters tiptoeing behind him.
"What a rare visitor! You two little guys are here. Are you punished by the palace guard to copy the annals again?"
The old witch looked at him with interest.
"No way! We are here to learn from Fushimi Miko!"
Sunset puffed out her chest and explained to the old witch.
"Is this true? Haven't you copied all the books in the library?"
The old witch couldn't help laughing.
"……Um?"
Hearing this, Yu Zhuanjin turned to look at Suyue and Xizhao, and asked in confusion, "What's going on?"
After questioning, Suyue and Xizhao did not hide the fact that when they entered the shrine six years ago, they had already gotten into countless troubles just like they do now. The only difference was that at that time they were not punished to sweep the gate, but were copying chronicles in the shrine hall.
In fact, it is also a kind of practice, which enables one to deeply remember the spell knowledge summarized by the predecessors, even though it has not been put into practical use until now.
"That is to say..."
Yu Zhuanjin looked down at the manuscript in her hand. She was wondering who wrote all these and why they had so much free time.
"Fufu, fufufu~☆!"
Suyue has already started playing with Fufu.
Without paying any more attention to them, Yu Zhuanjin came to the bookshelf, picked up a few chronicles, and suddenly noticed a miscellaneous note. Some of them were very old and it was obvious that the last time they were copied was a long time ago. It was similar to a collection of little-known facts, but it was not very useful.
However, after Yu Zhuanjin flipped through the book and read a few pages, he became particularly interested in it and put it away.
After walking around, Yuzhongjin noticed that there was a staircase at the corner...
"Are you going to the second floor?"
The old witch came over and asked.
"..."
Yu Zhuanjin did not respond immediately. She remembered that Yunhe had asked her to go to the second floor if possible. However, to be honest, all the ancient books on the first floor were helpful to her, and the second floor was a place only official priestesses were qualified to browse.
"Ah."
After thinking about it again and again, Yu Zhuanjin nodded.
"We want to go too!"
Hearing this, Su Yue and Xi Zhao couldn't help but come closer, both of them were very curious. Although they had often come here before, they had no idea about the ancient books on the second floor.
"Then come up together."
The old priestess did not reject Su Yue and Xi Zhao. After all, they were both disciples of Gong Shi. Although they were not very good, they were able to cast spells with great power. Except for their instability, they could be considered official priestess.

Today's normal update (2/2).
Volume 52 Inuyasha (Part ): Chapter Chapter On the Premonitions and Requirements of Spiritual Awakening
The second floor of the library is slightly narrower than the first floor. After all, the pagoda-shaped attic becomes smaller as it goes up, there are fewer bookshelves, and the aisles are widened.
The windows around were half-covered by pinewood panels, so the light was a little dim. The old witch waved her sleeves lightly, and the panels opened with the wind...
The soft sunlight immediately poured into the house.
Yu Zhuanjin looked around and noticed at a glance that the first row of bookshelves listed various high-level spells, but in the back row, there were only many yellowed notes grouped together in the same form.
Each one has a name on it.
"……This is?"
Yu Zhuanjin vaguely guessed a possibility.
"What is the most valuable knowledge in your opinion?"
The old priestess asked Ootenzu.
"Experience accumulated through practice." Yuzhong Jin answered based on his inner guess.
"Exactly!"
The old priestess nodded deeply and continued, "Nothing is more valuable than the experience accumulated over time, because it represents inheritance, a legacy passed down from generation to generation. The priestesses or priests of the Hikawa Shrine of all generations would write down their experiences and other things in their notes ten years after their apprenticeship and place them on the second floor of the library for the new official priestesses to follow up with as a guide. When they first became official priestesses, they would also come here to seek the experience of their predecessors."
After saying that, the old witch raised her head, with a look of nostalgia flickering in her eyes.
"Ah? It's mother!"
After Su Yue and Xi Zhao walked around the second floor, they suddenly noticed a notebook signed by "Qing Ping" on the bookshelf next to them. They exclaimed in surprise, took it down carefully and began to read it.
Rather than learning, they were simply curious about what their mother would write in her diary.
"..."
Yu Zhuanjin also stretched out a hand and silently flipped through the notebook closest to her. There were indeed many records in it, including unique views and methods on the use of her own spells. Of course, there would be no records of secret methods. After all, the contents of these notebooks were all written voluntarily by the main writer and preserved.
The heritage of a shrine is not only its history, but also the cohesion of successive generations of priests within the shrine, and the willingness to share their experiences with younger generations. This alone is something that many priests in the shrine find difficult to do.
With respect, Yuzhuanjin had a solemn expression.
“Ah~ That’s amazing!”
If there weren't two little guys ruining the atmosphere, perhaps the scene would have been more solemn. Su Yue and Xi Zhao didn't have any deep thoughts at all. They were just paying attention to the notes in front of them, which were treasures to them.
……
Night fell, a grey veil covered the sky, the shrine hall was brightly lit, Yuzhongjin sat at the table, and Fufu lay on the table, wagging his tail from time to time.
That’s right, just like last night, Miojin stayed overnight at Hikawa Shrine, thinking about finishing the annals he borrowed today, although there were still three or four volumes left...
"Huhuhu——!"
Loud snoring sounds came from behind. I saw Su Yue resting his head on Xi Zhao's chest, while the latter was lying on the tatami with his legs spread out. His breathing was steady but disordered.
