"Fushimi Miko is too much."
Xizhao said in a crying voice.
"Ah? I just heard someone calling me, and Xizhao, why are you pretending to cry?"
At this moment, Su Yue suddenly walked into the room, immediately exposed Xi Zhao, and then said to Yu Zhongjin: "Fushimi Miko, Master just came back and asked me to go find you."

Volume 75 Inuyasha (Part ): Chapter Chapter The Curse of Chasing the Demon
……
"Fushimi Miko, I heard on my way back that something unexpected happened during your expedition."
In the shrine hall, only the priest Qinghe and Yuzhongjin were sitting opposite each other. The former expressed some comfort, apparently knowing that there were some omissions in the latter's affairs today.
"Yes, I let a monster escape due to a moment of negligence, and finally failed to catch up with it and returned empty-handed."
Yuzhongjin said without hiding anything that she was not surprised that Qinghe Priest knew about this, because the barrier he set up in the village only lasted for one day, and he could not guarantee that she would come today.
In other words, even if Yuzhongjin did not deal with it, Qinghe Priest would check the situation before dusk, so it was quite normal to hear about this from the villagers.
"Can you tell me what happened in detail?"
Hearing this, Priest Qinghe was also quite surprised.
It should be noted that this was Yuzhuanjin’s first mistake, so he naturally needed to sum up his experience.
"Well, at that time..."
Yu Zhuanjin slowly recounted the process, not using any excuses to cover up her mistakes, and bluntly said: "…If I hadn't lost my caution due to my arrogance, I wouldn't have made such a mistake."
"Being escaped from the hands of a monster is a mistake that we all have to experience. The speed of monsters is incomparable to humans, let alone surpassing. They have innate advantages that we don't have."
The priest Qinghe used the spell of "Pure Heart" to soothe his troubled mind, and then said: "It's just that you handled everything too perfectly in the past, so it's hard for you to accept this flaw. Let go of your emotions and don't get stuck in a dead end. Inner demons are easy to arise and difficult to cure. You should forgive yourself occasionally."
"but……"
Yuzhuanjin still couldn't accept it.
"Of course, the sin of arrogance is wrong after all and still needs to be corrected. We mountain guards must not be rash, because it may cost us our lives."
"Junior knows."
"Secondly, there is one more thing. The escaped flying head barbarian will definitely do evil again. I will pay close attention to any abnormalities in the vicinity for you these days. Once you find it, you must not let it escape again."
As the saying goes, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. The Qinghe priest noticed that Yuzhuanjin might have an obsession, so he thought it would be best to let the latter put an end to it personally.
"Yes, I understand!"
Upon hearing this, Yuzhuanjin clenched his hands.
She would never let the same mistake happen a second time.
……
After leaving the shrine, the sky was gradually darkening. Yuzhongjin was about to go back to rest, but as soon as he took a step, he thought of something else and turned to go to another familiar place.
"This is really strange, Fushimi Miko. This is the first time you've come here so late at night in such a long time." The old Miko who guarded the library stood under the pine tree in front of the door and continued to say to Yuzhongjin: "I'm about to close..."
"No, I didn't come here to borrow the annals this time, but to ask you a question. Only you, who are well-read, are most qualified to answer my question."
When facing the monster Fei Tou Man, if it is a life-and-death duel, Yuzhong Jin has countless spells that can defeat it, but she can't prevent the opponent from escaping from her spell.
She failed in the aspect of speed, and in the nearly one and a half months of training in Yuzhongjin, she had never seen a spell that could match the speed of a monster, so she was extremely confused and told the old priestess about it.
"You want to know the spell that can chase the demon?"
After hearing this, the old witch thought deeply for a moment, then shook her head and asked, "Why are you asking me when you clearly already have the answer in your mind?"
"But I've never seen it."
Yuzhong Jin immediately refuted.
"Yes, you have never seen it, and I have never seen such a magical spell."
The old witch couldn't help but smile helplessly.
"why?"
Yu Zhuanjin got to the bottom of the matter.
"Yes~ Why? If you want to fly, you can do it with either 'Float' or 'Ride the Wind'. If you want to go faster, you can also use 'Sprint' and 'Flash Step'. If you combine them together, can't you achieve a spell similar to or even beyond the demon movement? Fushimi Miko, you must have the same idea, right?"
The old witch spoke out Yuzhongjin's real doubts, and said with emotion: "A long time ago, when I was running around like you to fight monsters, I spent half a month or even several months chasing a monster, but the monster escaped every time. I also had such thoughts, but..."
"only?"
Yuzhongjin seemed to have anticipated what was to come.
"It's just that you always come back empty-handed. It's easy to lift yourself up with the power of the wind, and you can do it. Then use the power of the wind to propel yourself and fly into the sky. It's a little difficult but not impossible. But once you set your goal to chase, your speed will increase greatly, and the great power between heaven and earth will become an obstacle, pressing your body so that you have to slow down, or deploy a barrier to offset its power. But no matter which one you choose, it will consume a lot of energy and wear you down. By then, even if you catch up with the target, you will no longer be able to compete, and the loss will outweigh the gain."
The old witch sighed and continued, "On the other hand, monsters can ignore such problems with their strong monster bodies. This is the innate difference between us and monsters. They can desecrate the world without restraint, but we can't."
……
Air resistance is proportional to the square of speed.
The faster the speed, the greater the air resistance.
The air resistance generated at extreme speeds can even crush a human body into pieces in an instant, so spells are needed to protect oneself from its side effects.
However, even so, the shield only resists wind pressure on behalf of the caster, which is equivalent to continuous fatal damage, so the consumption is quite terrible.
Only the inhuman demon body can ignore it, there is no other way.
"Humans have their limits. If we want to overcome the innate gap between us and monsters, we have to surpass humans..."
Yu Zhuanjin realized this truth in his short life.
"…Oh no, the Fushimi Miko is broken."
After seeing Yu Zhuanjin return to the room, he kept writing strange symbols with pen and ink, as if he was calculating something. Finally, he uttered something incomprehensible in a deep voice. Xizhao couldn't help but complain.
"so what should I do now?"
Tsubaki was worried about this and was at a loss.
"I don't know. This is the first time I've seen a Fushimi Miko with this expression."
After saying that, Suyue raised his hand and held down Xizhao who was about to make trouble, signaling the latter to behave himself.
The three girls did not dare to act rashly and could only watch Yuzhongjin who was lost in thought.
……
At the same time, thirteen miles north of the Hikawa Shrine, a strange baby crying sound was heard from the lush woods. However, the next second, an ancient golden vajra smashed towards the source of the sound, and a large amount of demonic energy suddenly emerged.
"ban!"
The priest Qinghe formed seals with his hands and used a sealing technique to imprison the monster. Then a hideous ghost face emerged. It was actually the Feitouman that Yuzhongjin accidentally let escape tonight.
"Master Palace Master, why do you bother to seal it? Wouldn't it be better to just exterminate the monster? We have more important things to do." Palace Master Quan, who was wearing a dark purple robe, showed a puzzled look.
"It's a little useful. My bad disciples need training recently, and this is just right."
The Qinghe priest did not mention Yuzhongjin, but found a more reasonable explanation, and then changed the subject and said: "Have you found any clues about the monster that failed to be sealed before?"
"Not yet. Since the ceremony was disrupted due to the chaos a month ago, the monster that crossed the sea from the Ming Kingdom was seriously injured, but it has long disappeared without a trace. We only know that it has not left Musashi Kingdom yet."
Quan Gongsi sighed heavily and continued, "If there is really no other way, we can only summon the Ten Fist Sword from this palace to force it to show up."
"The divine sword that slayed the Yamata no Orochi is not something that everyone can use. We have long lost the priestess who was able to draw the sword." The priest Qinghe whispered.
"She must be pure, pious and honest, know how to sacrifice herself, and be brave and fearless, and be recognized by God. Only if she possesses all of the above conditions will she be qualified and able to draw out the Totsuka sword that once killed the Yamata no Orochi. Wasn't there such a shrine maiden ten years ago?" Gon Gongji said with a slight reminder.
"She is no longer a miko."
"But she has not lost the divine choice yet. If necessary, she must make a choice for the stability of Musashi."
"We can discuss this later. The most urgent task is to try to find the giant snake monster. If we can find it, we don't need to use the real Tenfist Sword, we can use the imitation to defeat it."
"I hope so……"

Volume 76 Inuyasha (Part ): Chapter Chapter Concept Extract
……
"Yuzhuanjin? Why are you..."
At noon the next day, Yuzhuanjin returned to the village. Yunhe, who was squatting by the river in front of the village washing clothes, saw the red and white figure at a glance. He was subconsciously puzzled, wondering why the other party came back so early. When he was about to ask, he noticed that the former did not look well.
So, Yun He quickly put down what he was doing, stood up and walked quickly towards Yu Zhuanjin, and asked with concern: "...Did something happen, Yu Zhuanjin?"
Hearing this, Yu Zhuanjin stopped and looked up at Yunhe, but after a moment, she lowered her head deeply again. She spent the whole night thinking continuously, listing many formulas to calculate the spells that could be used to chase the monsters, and using various schemes to reduce the consumption of the spells, reducing it to 40% of the original at most, but it was still not enough to actually perform or even use it.
Yuzhongjin has thought about using a medium as a vehicle, similar to flying a sword or a broomstick. It is feasible, but the maximum speed is no more than kilometers per hour, which is only meters per second. However, ordinary lower-level monsters have such speed, and the level of a small monster king can reach meters per second. It is also standard for big monsters to start at the speed of sound.
Humans can only keep up with the speed of their reaction nerves, and can counterattack, but they can never chase. Yuzhongjin thought for a long time, and finally told Yunhe what she had asked the old witch before, and said: "Yunhe, do you know any spell that can chase the demon?"
"Ah this..."
This question instantly stumped Yunhe, as she had never heard of this kind of spell. She then glanced furtively at Yu Zhuanjin, wondering if he was researching this recently?
It seems that there is no result yet. Isn't this natural? How many people have studied the art of chasing demons from ancient times to the present? The famous Abe Haruaki also left notes, but they cannot be used as a reference because Abe is a half-demon, the son of a white fox and a human. Although it is successful in theory, only other half-demons can learn and use it except himself.
And because it is Lord Abe's secret technique, it is kept in the dark room of the royal family and the Togumo clan, a Yin-Yang family. Even members of the family find it difficult to borrow it.
"Yuzhongjin, you have done well enough. If you put your talents between the two of you and stand on your own, you are the best miko I have ever seen."
Yun He was generous in her praise, because every word and action was the truth. Even the person she once admired the most still seemed inferior to Yu Zhuanjin.
"...As expected, there isn't one?"
Yuzhuanjin was still in a very low mood.
"Well, why bother with that? Monsters have their inherent advantages, and we humans are not inferior to them in our talent for cultivation. Even if we are fast, what good will it do to turn the barrier into a cage? We will still be like a bird in a cage, imprisoned within a hundred feet."
Yun He comforted Yu Zhuanjin's heart and continued, "Besides, your spells have already reached the pinnacle, especially your arrow of light, which is a pioneering move. That's enough. Next, you just need to continue to awaken the spiritual power hidden in your body, and you can solve all the current confusion."
At this point, Yunhe looked Yuzhuanjin up and down again, and finally said in amazement: "Your spiritual power has increased again, it's really fast."
"Hmm~ Is this really enough?"
Yuzhong Jin was also thinking whether she should give up.
"Well! Of course, bizarre spells can only be solved in bizarre ways." In other words, it is also bizarre to want to create them.
Yunhe tried to persuade in this way.
A wild idea... huh?
However, when Yuzhong Jin heard this word, his eyes flashed with a bright light. Yes, why must we try to create such a bizarre spell with conventional thinking?
Conduct empirical analysis based on fictional theories.
This is the experience of creating the transformation between reality and illusion, that is, the "Arrow of Light". I have been learning the spell for so long, but I have completely forgotten the basics of getting started.
...conversion between reality and illusion.
Yes, how could I have forgotten this trick!
The illusion can become the real thing, but conversely, can the real thing become the illusion?
"Thank you, Yunhe!"
He did it as soon as he thought of it. Yu Zhuanjin thanked Yunhe, then loosened the reins and ran back into the house.
"what?"
Yunhe was left standing there in bewilderment. He turned his head to look at the unwashed clothes on the edge of the river bank, and then looked up and shouted, "Kikyo! Stop playing outside, take the horse away quickly, and then go home to take care of your sister, the miko!"
