Chapter 84: Page 84

No, stay calm, it's just a possibility. If it can be handled well, it can be avoided.

Yu Zhuanjin took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress his anxiety.

At this moment, Yun He said, "Why are you so panicked? What will be the result? My future..."

Yu Zhongjin didn't say anything, what should she say? This result must not be revealed to the other party, otherwise the fate will be anchored, but not saying it or lying is not an option, because Yunhe's "truth" can be detected.

I could only force a smile and pretend to be confused.

"……I knew it."

Yunhe sighed.

No, what did you know? You can't know!

Yu Zhuanjin's expression suddenly became panic.

"Even my senior sister took a year to master 'astrology', and you only took half a month. I am confused and embarrassed you..."

Fortunately, Yunhe didn't think of it in a bad way.

"...Heh, heh heh."

Hearing this, Yu Zhuanjin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Yuzhongjin, are you okay?"

But Yunhe still noticed that Yuzhuanjin's reaction was not right.

"Ah, uh, it's a bit cold..."

Yuzhongjin answered in a ambiguous tone.

Although it was the hottest time of the year, the house was indeed cool. After all, there were talismans for cooling the air pasted on the windows.

"It's really worrying."

After saying that, Yunhe sat up, and even though he was still very tired, he helped Yuzhuanjin put on his clothes, tied the belt around his waist, and took care of the latter's shining hair that was mixed with gold and silver.

"I'm going outside to bask in the sun. Yunhe, you just stay home and have a good rest." Yu Zhuanjin left as if escaping, not wanting Yunhe to notice that something was wrong with her.

……

Running out of the house and to the tree at the entrance of the village, Yu Zhuanjin could no longer control her emotions. Although she did not shout out loud, her expression of "do not disturb anyone" was enough to explain the problem.

"Miko-sama, are you alright?"

Seeing this, the villagers passing by couldn't help but express their condolences.

——Astrology·Predict the future!

For an ordinary person who has never even stepped into the threshold of cultivation, Yu Zhuanjin has enough ability to forcibly perform this technique to observe the other party's fate.

Light white color, very plain, this is the most common fate, just an ordinary life with relatively good luck, or some happy events but few disasters.

Shifting his gaze again, Yuzhuanjin looked towards the villagers standing in the farmland in the distance, their fate wrapped in the yellow earth, and a good harvest. This year, they will have a good harvest.

That's right. After all, being named "Inari God" is bound to have this effect. Mizoguchi looked around and found that the farming villagers all had the yellow fate symbolizing the earth of the five elements, while those ordinary people had the peaceful light white fate.

There was a hunter who was entangled by a strand of red silk, but it was not a bloody disaster, but a marriage destined by God.

Obviously, there was nothing wrong with Yuzhongjin's "astrology" from the beginning to the end, but the problem was between her and Yunhe.

The results of the celestial spell "astrology" are only a higher probability event before they are known, rather than the "future" that will definitely happen.

The future is never a given.

When you make choices such as "yes or no", "right or wrong", countless results have already been differentiated, it's just a matter of probability between them.

The prediction of "astrology" is to choose the most likely one among these probabilities, anchor it, and then lock the probability.

However, as long as the anchoring ritual is not performed, there are many opportunities to change the "future".

"Ah, ah!"

The pitch-black young fox, Fu Fu, ran to Yu Zhuan Jin with light steps, and called out to him in a tender voice in an attempt to calm the latter down and tell him not to be too anxious.

"You're right, Fu Fu. Now is not the time for me to sigh. As long as we find the right way, the problem will always be solved, right? Can't I even change the future that has not been anchored?"

Yuzhuanjin gently scratched Fufu's chin, and the latter immediately lay down on the ground comfortably with his belly exposed, his fluffy tail shaking.

I was actually panicked by such a small matter. There are obviously many ways to solve it...

Yu Zhuanjin began to think about countermeasures. Should he look for help at this time? It's like when a game is stuck, you always ask other big guys to bring you points to overcome the difficulties.

"No, no, no, no, this is a bad idea. We must not do this unless it is absolutely necessary. The more well-known one's fate is, the higher its probability becomes. Even if the person involved himself does not know it and therefore cannot be anchored to 100%, but , what's the difference between it and the previous values?" It can also easily draw others into the vortex.

This is like the boss failing to lead the points. Besides the one who is undergoing the tribulation, everyone else will also lose points.

The stronger the team, the stronger the opponents you will face.

Fate is such a bloody mechanism.

When the witch Qingyun abolished her own spiritual power, the final result was that she died of exhaustion. If she had remained the same, what could have caused her death? Sickness and pain must be useless, so the high probability is that a strong enemy will appear.

A monster powerful enough to kill or die together with it decides fate.

The death of ordinary people may be an encounter with a monster. No matter how weak the monster is, the only result for them is death. But for the witches, encountering a small monster is actually a blessing because they have the ability to exorcise it.

Death will manifest itself in different ways for different people. Yun He's spiritual power had been weakened back then, so his death should not be too severe.

Yu Zhuanjin guessed that it was possible, with a high probability, that she could take on the fate for him.

“This is the middle strategy.”

Taking on the fate of the calamity is threatening to himself, because Yuzhongjin does not think that he is very capable. His only trump card is the SR-level experience card "Moon Chasing God", which can be regarded as a talisman.

And [copy] transfer.

Yes, there is also this trick that can be used!

As long as Yunhe is given the corresponding Shikigami card, he can take him to another copy. Yuzhongjin still doesn't believe that the fate of this world can take effect in another world.

Holding the sword of the previous dynasty, you want to kill the officials of the current dynasty?

“…This is the best strategy!”

Yuzhongjin immediately opened her [Shikigami Record], which contained four free R-level Shikigami cards, but none of them were compatible with Yunhe.

[SR-level Shikigami fragments: 30]

Forty SR-level Shikigami fragments can be exchanged for a random SR-level Shikigami. This is Yuzhongjin's hope.

It's also an opportunity.

The ten missing fragments can be obtained through the upgrade mission of "Fox Hunting World", a side quest when the fourth level "Fox Hunting World" is upgraded to the fifth level.

-

[Side quest: Skill "Fox Hunting World" level increased to level 5 (to be completed)]

[Task Reward: Gold Coins*5, Jade*120, SR-level Shikigami Fragments*10]

-

Each skill has unique upgrade conditions. "One Arrow" requires proficiency in the bow and arrow, while "Curse" requires the accumulation of knowledge about spiritual power.

The "Fox Hunting Realm" refers to the number of battles.

It is also very simple to upgrade quickly. Just practice with others three times a day, and it is enough to upgrade your level within a month.

Yu Zhuanjin observed her own destiny again and found that her great disaster would come within three weeks.

"Well~ earlier than Yunhe. It seems that the disaster we suffered is not the same one, probably." Yu Zhuanjin was particularly careful to prevent their disasters from being connected to each other.

Then, Yu Zhuanjin returned to the house and saw Yunhe had already fallen asleep on the bed, so he did not disturb her too much. He turned around and took the spirit horse Shuijun out of the yard and flew directly to the low clouds...

……

"...You want to spar with the yamabushi from other shrines and temples?"

Inside the Hikawa Shrine, the priest Qinghe looked at Yuzenjin who had suddenly visited him and made a request, and he immediately stood there in deep thought for a moment without saying a word.

"Please, this is very important to me. I hope that Master Qinghe can help me."

Yes, if he wants to find an opponent to spar with, Yuzhongjin needs the help of Qinghe Priest to make connections. Otherwise, if he goes around looking for others to gank, he may be easily regarded as a challenger.

What's more, Yuzhongjin didn't know who was stronger in Musashi. It would not be very useful to compete with those who were too weak, and it would be a waste of time.

"Indeed, although your strength meets the standard, combat experience is still scarce, and those weak monsters are no longer of any practical benefit to you."

After thinking for a while, Qinghe priest wrote a letter and marked several locations, saying: "Take this letter and go to these places to find opponents. Every shrine and temple has its share of talented and hardworking Yamabushi, so don't underestimate them..."

……

“…Fufu!”

A gorgeous figure stood in the bright sunshine, the breeze lifted the corners of her skirt, and yellow sand floated around her, but her body could not be touched for a long time. Yuzhong Jin and Fu Fu joined forces and then used the skill "Fox Hunting World" together.

A golden barrier enveloped the surroundings, and extraordinary power surged into her body. Yu Zhuanjin raised her hands to the air, and the sky suddenly became gloomy. A symphony of thunder and lightning played here. The power of heaven could not be looked at directly, and it was unmatched!

This is the power of the celestial spell.

"——Thunderbolt!"

Pale lightning split the gap between heaven and earth, striking directly next to the target that Yuzhong Jin was pointing at.

He was a monk who was about 27 or 28 years old. He leaned his staff on the ground. Even though he had strength to spare, he just sighed and did not attack Yuzhongjin again. He looked down at the cross-shaped cracks at his feet and was shocked. He said, "I lost this competition."

That's right, it was a competition. After receiving the "letter of introduction" from the priest Qinghe, Mizotsu challenged the disciples of shrines and temples in Musashi one by one.

Today is the fifth day, and all the best of her generation in Musashi have been defeated by her.

The strongest of the new generation in Musashi Province.

Yuzhuanjin was gradually given this name.

"Master, I'm sorry to disappoint you." The mage turned around and apologized to the elder with a vicissitudes of life behind him, and then said: "I was too arrogant in the past. I thought I had mastered the practice. Now looking back, I realize how ignorant I was. There are always people better than you. My knowledge is still shallow. It seems that I need to practice more."

"Thank you for letting me."

After waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Yuzhong Jin then expressed her humble words to show respect.

"I have no intention of giving up at all."

Hearing this, the mage sighed helplessly. Before he took action to compete with Yu Zhuanjin, two of his fellow disciples with good qualifications had already been defeated by the other party.

As he was the third one to appear to fight against Yuzhongjin, his opponent was the miko who had been exhausted after two rounds of battles. It was not reasonable for him to lose.

Therefore, he wanted to defeat Yuzhong Jin with all his strength, and then give him an evaluation of "honor in defeat".

Still lost.

If that lightning struck him, he would have no way to resist it. This was a battle without suspense, and the mage felt inferior to him.

……

They fought three opponents in a row, and the strength of each Yamabushi was almost the same as the lowest SR-level monster. They were geniuses in the true sense.

The future will definitely be the backbone of humanity.

However, even so, Yu Zhuanjin still retained more than half of her spiritual power after defeating them. After all, she was fighting against two little demon kings who had lived for hundreds of years at the same time and even killed one of them.

There was no reason why he couldn't beat three Yamabushi sorcerers whose combat power barely reached the SR level in a one-on-one fight. However, because it was a sparring match, many skills were not convenient to use, such as the "Fire Curse" and "Shadowless Divine Edge". He had to use the celestial spell that he had just learned a few days ago as a practice.

You know what, it works quite well.

[Astronomical phenomenon: Thunderclouds: Summons thunderclouds and continuously releases "Thunderbolt" on the target.]

【Thunderbolt: Causes damage of 700% of the attack range.】

With the blessing of "spell", the damage of "thunderbolt" can reach 1050% of the attack, nearly ten times the value, and it is a range attack. No matter how it is used, it is extremely convenient, except that the charging time is longer.

"Failure is not shameful. Admitting failure and using it as a new starting point to move forward is a rare and precious spirit." The temple abbot patted the wizard on the shoulder, then looked at Yuzuru with a look of satisfaction, and said, "I didn't expect that after nearly ten years, Hikawa Shrine has another excellent shrine maiden. You remind me of the past, when there was also a shrine maiden like you who challenged the yamabushi in various places until she won the title of 'the strongest' and once again established the status of your shrine. Keep working hard, you still have a long way to go."

"Thank you for your words, senior."

Lowering his head slightly, Yu Zhuanjin said.

"Let's go. I don't think any of my disciples can fight you..."

The temple abbot looked at the young monks around him. They were still whispering, "Even the eldest brother lost to the other side. There is no way we can win."

"Please wait!"

At this moment, someone suddenly spoke up. A mage with a black pigtail jumped down from the roof. He knocked the blue bricks on the ground with his Zen staff, and then he put his hands together, took a deep breath, and said, "Huh~ Excuse me, I am not late, am I?"

"Junior brother? What's going on?"
