Seeing this, Yu Zhuanjin's eyes twitched slightly. He always felt that his ability was not up to standard, so he misjudged the result. After all, he didn't say it would definitely work. If you believe it, it works, and if you don't believe it, it doesn't.
Fortunately, at least it’s not the black death disaster.

Volume 98 Inuyasha (Part ): Chapter Chapter The Art of Mastering the Power of the Stars [W words]
……
The snake shadow lurks in the forest paths, attacking passing tourists and merchants, using tricky assassination techniques to take the lives of the victims before they are detected.
Countless small snakes pounced on the corpse, sucked all the blood from the corpse, and then returned to the depths of the valley one by one.
Blood dripped from the fangs and gathered into a small cup of blood tea. A pair of hands raised the cup and said grimly, "Well done, my lovely descendants. When my power returns to perfection, I will break the seal and turn into a dragon. This will be our territory. Then we will take revenge on the monsters in the Central Plains. In the name of Zhu Jiuyin, I am a great existence that they cannot understand!"
……
"Yuzhuanjin, why have you been studying astrology recently? I heard that this spell is not easy to learn."
Yunhe has recently always seen Yuzhongjin holding a crystal ball in his hand and casting a spell on it, which is one of the characteristics of "astrology".
It’s like a black witch who practices straw spirit spells, who always has a scarecrow as the medium of the curse.
"Yunhe, do you know much about astrology?"
Putting down the crystal ball, Yu Zhuanjin asked tentatively.
"No, I just saw my senior sister pay a lot of attention to this spell before, but I remember she only practiced it for a year, and then gave it up and switched to other spells to practice."
"Witch Qingyun?"
"Well, but the reason why Senior Sister gave up was not because she had no talent. I heard from my master that the "astrology" that Senior Sister studied could even give a glimpse of the future. Even though she only practiced it for one year from beginning to end."
After thinking for a while, Yun He couldn't help but remind: "I have asked my senior sister about "astrology" before, but she strongly opposed me to learn this knowledge. It is difficult to practice, which is one of the reasons. Another point is..."
"……that is?"
Yuzhongjin was very curious.
"My senior sister once told me that being able to peek into the future is not a good thing. Whether it's yourself or others, not knowing your fate is the biggest way to avoid it."
Yun He even explained it, saying, "It probably means, live in the present? Maybe, but I can't understand the hidden meaning in it anyway."
It is not a good thing to spy on the future, whether for yourself or others...
Yu Zhuanjin carefully savored the meaning of this sentence and gradually came to a conclusion from it.
Perhaps when the witch Qingyun mastered "astrology", she was already peeking into her own future. No one can resist the curiosity about the future.
Perhaps it was because he saw some possibility that he abandoned this spell that was almost like controlling the will of God?
So, what does she see as the future?
"I don't like the word destiny."
Yun He poured a cup of tea for Yu Zhuan Jin and said to him, "On the day my senior sister passed away, she told me that this was her fate. I don't understand it, but I hate this word."
"It's fate..."
Yu Zhuanjin said suddenly.
Soga, I see.
Because they can see that they will die young in the future, it is not surprising what they do after that. Who doesn't want to live a splendid life before dying?
However, would the priestess that Yunhe admires so much really choose to give up on herself instead of resisting after learning her fate?
……
"You want to learn astrology? Of course, I have some experience in this area."
The next day, Miozu asked the shrine maiden Kikuri about "astrology". The latter readily agreed to her request. The reason was simple. She had learned divination for half her life, and it was rare to find a shrine maiden who wanted to inherit her legacy and had good qualifications. It didn't matter whether they were master and apprentice or not.
"Thank you for your generosity, senior."
Yuzhuanjin immediately thanked him.
"Before learning this spell, Fushimi Miko, please be sure to remember the three key points of "astrology."
The shrine maiden, Kikuri, said seriously, "First, in astrology, there is only success and failure. There is no such thing as error. It is either a glimpse into fate or a fruitless response. In other words, once a result appears, no matter how absurd it is, it is fate."
"Secondly, as an astrologer, you must report the good news and not the bad news after your spying. If there is a bad omen or a bad omen, you must conceal it and never tell the other party."
"Third, you must not perform divination on yourself. This last one is especially taboo."
After pointing out the three key points, the shrine maiden Kikuri officially taught Gonozu the science of "astrology".
“What’s the explanation for these three points?”
Yu Zhuanjin raised the question, mainly because he was confused about the last one, because...
She has already predicted her future!
And there is no such thing as error, as long as the result comes out, it is fate? But what she predicted was clearly a bad omen! Can you please stop messing around like this?
"No, I don't know. These three rules have been passed down since ancient times. Every astrologer knows them, but no one has studied their reasoning."
"What would be the consequences if we were to spy on our own future?"
"No one dares to try that. It can only be said that this is a taboo for astrologers. The consequences are unknown, but it is probably very serious to be so feared."
The miko Kikuri answered speculatively.
Yu Zhuanjin did not ask any more questions, but he knew that he had unknowingly caused trouble. The omen of great disaster had been discovered. Could this be the consequence?
"Senior, excuse me for asking, is the former residence of the shrine maiden Qingyun still there?" Yu Zhongjin tried to find a solution by going to the room of the gifted shrine maiden.
"Well, because there are not many disciples in the palace, Qingyun's room is not empty. What do you want to do?"
"I heard that the witch also studied astrology to some extent, so I thought she should have left some records."
"That's what Yunhe said, right? Indeed, the witch Qingyun was very talented in divination, but she gave up in the end. It would be difficult for you to find her notes in her room. I don't think that witch had the habit of diligently recording back then."
Sighing, the witch Kikuri thought for a moment, and then said, "But there may be something in the witch Qingyun's room that can help you. Since Yunhe has recognized you, it's okay for you to go to Qingyun's room. Wait a minute, here's the key. The witch's room is in the side hall, remember to return the key to me when you come back."
After saying that, the shrine maiden Kikuri turned around, took out a bronze key from the cabinet on the third floor and handed it to Yuzenjin.
Holding the key tightly in his hand, Yuzhongjin felt relaxed by the cool touch, so he said softly, "Thank you."
……
The side hall, the Zhengyi Palace, is next to the rooms of Suyue and Xizhao, not too far away. It seems to be a community hall exclusively for direct disciples. Taking out the key and opening the door, the layout of the room is simple, no different from an attic.
There were two potted plants on the table, which were still lush and green even without anyone taking care of them. On the cabinet next to them, there were two rows of ancient books and documents. These were her targets.
Yuzhongjin walked quickly forward, trying to find any records about "astrology".
No, no, and still no!
Yuzhong Jin searched everywhere in the room, but couldn't find any notes about "astrology". Instead, there were piles of miscellaneous notes.
Silence, no words to say.
Thinking back to what the senior in the library said, the witch Qingyun might really not have left any records.
But according to the foundation of behavioral psychology, once something major and sudden happens in life, even the most casual person will record it in a substantial way.
It doesn't necessarily have to be a note, but there should be clues.
Unless Yu Zhuanjin thought too much, maybe the witch Qingyun didn't even spy on her own future. After all, her "astrology" should have been learned from the predecessors in the library, and that taboo would not be violated.
She is not an idiot and will definitely avoid danger.
Looking around, I still found nothing.
But Yu Zhuanjin lowered his head and suddenly noticed that there was a tattered book under the table leg.
He bent down, picked up the notebook that was used as a table leg pad, and took a look at it. It was ordinary, so Yuzhongjin put it back into the bookcase...
wrong!
Just then, Yuzhong Jin noticed something unusual.
ordinary?
No, no no.
Why does she have such an idea?
It was just a quick glance. Logically, she should have been more cautious.
It wasn't that Yu Zhongjin was careless, but there were some special reasons that misled her mind and hinted that she should not pay attention to the tattered book.
Furthermore, if it was just an ordinary book, it should not appear in the room of the witch Qingyun. Given the witch's character, she would not put boring things in her room.
And the table legs are stable, so there is no need for pads.
Of course, the real reason why Yuzhongjin noticed it was her soul "Tufo", the 30% effect resistance reduced some abnormal effects.
Yu Zhuanjin felt the unusual movement of Yuhun.
So, take that book out of the cabinet.
When I opened it, I found that the content was unfocused.
It's just some random stuff, which is enough to say that no one would waste paper on something like this and publish a book.
"break!"
In response, Yuzhong Jin forcibly used magic to break the disguise and reveal its true appearance. The cover of the old book was torn into two halves, as if it was torn into pieces, but the paper inside turned into brand new purple paper.
really……
Yu Zhuanjin tried to open the book and read it, but the pages seemed to be glued together and did not move at all. Then, a few large words gradually appeared on the cover.
【who I am?】
There is actually a self-protection mechanism.
"…Witch Qingyun."
Yuzhuanjin gave an immediate reply.
【Who are you?】
"Fu... No, my name is Yuzhongjin."
【Why open this book? 】
“I want to know about astrology.”
After saying that, Yu Zhuanjin looked at the cover again. The line of text had disappeared, but the pages of the book remained motionless. Could it be that access was denied?
"Nice to meet you, Yuzhongjin."
Suddenly, a call came from the side.
Yuzhongjin was immediately alert because she didn't sense anyone approaching, so she quickly turned around and looked at the other person. It was a shrine maiden with a beautiful figure and extraordinary temperament. Her black hair was tied up high, showing her elegance. She also had the quiet and reserved charm of a Yamato Nadeshiko, and she looked a little thin.
as well as……
A body as illusive as a shadow.
"…Residual soul?"
Yuzhongjin asked uncertainly.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that the other person's identity is the priestess Qingyun, the biological mother of Kikyo and Tsubaki, and the "first love" that Yunhe has always been thinking about.
"It's just a tiny wisp of insignificant consciousness." Spreading her hands, the witch explained: "In order to prevent anyone from peeking at my privacy, a wisp of thought was extracted with a spell and stored in it. It was like this at first, and then it was reinforced again before I died, so I can decide whether to open or destroy this diary."
"No, wait, don't destroy it!"
Hearing this, Yu Zhuanjin immediately stopped him.
"Don't worry, since I'm here to chat with you, I must listen to your needs."
In response, the consciousness incarnation of the witch Qingyun waved her hand in front of Yuzhongjin and continued: "Yuzhongjin, I actually think you shouldn't come to Hikawa Shrine. With the protection of the god's name, Inari Shrine is your home."
"No, I was just referred here."
Yuzhongjin explained.
"That's it."
