Nanxing looked up in surprise.
I found that Kikyo's face was still as calm as ever, as if she was not stumped by this question at all.
"Don't you know?"
"When in danger, use your Stand to fight instead of yourself - this is the basic skill of us Miko."
Kikyo explained softly.
Feng, who was standing next to her, raised his head with some pride.
She is an ordinary witch.
In front of Kikyo, he is not even qualified to hold an arrow.
But she still practiced the basic skills of a witch.
She is involved in medicine making, spells, purification, exorcism, barriers, purification...all these things.
The "substitute" that Kikyo mentioned is also included in this basic skill. It is the most important exorcism method in the Shinto system represented by shrine maidens and onmyoji.
"God formula."
"Yes, it's a shikigami!"
PS: I didn’t expect that people in Japan don’t eat melon seeds.
After all, I don’t really understand the living habits there.
But it’s not quite right to say that there are no melon seeds in this era.
What we are saying is, let’s put aside the fact that the present time is already the middle of the 16th century AD and the East India Company is about to be established.
In this age of chaos and disorder, is there still a monster that turns sunflowers into sunflower fields?
(I know that sunflowers and sunflowers are not the same thing, I am just kidding, don’t take it seriously).
Chapter 14 Nothingness Outside the Mind
【Shikigami】
This is the signature skill of Shintoism, and it is said to have originated from Abe Haruaki, the founder of Onmyoji.
As the son of a fox demon, Abe Haruaki is born with great power that ordinary people cannot possess and can drive real demons.
Later, he made those demons into his servants, the so-called [Shikigami].
This is also an important source of [Shikigami].
In most cases, the shikigami are monsters that have been subdued by Onmyoji.
Or, like the Onmyoji of Hanakaiin's lineage, they would make the souls of their ancestors into Shikigami to guard the family for generations.
But for Kikyo, it seems that there are other ways to create Shikigami.
"It's very difficult to learn how to make that kind of shikigami, and you have to subdue the monster yourself."
"Given your current situation, you don't need such complicated means."
She said very calmly.
He casually took out a piece of talisman paper from his sleeve and after some skillful folding, he turned it into a vivid paper crane.
Kikyo loosened her grip and gently threw the paper crane into the air.
Then, under Nanxing's fixed gaze, the lifeless paper crane began to dance around Platycodon grandiflorum like a real crane.
“That’s wonderful!”
Looking at the paper crane, Nanxing's face was full of admiration.
Just imagine, if this paper crane was made of an explosive talisman and flew directly to the enemy's face...what a spectacular scene that would be?
With such deliberate planning, there shouldn't be any enemy that can withstand this sudden attack, right?
It's just that now, there's the problem.
"Can I learn this method?"
Nanxing asked hesitantly.
His power system comes from "Naruto", which is chakra.
The spiritual power used by Kikyo... doesn't seem to be from the same system?
And facing Nanxing's worries.
What is revealed from Platycodon is only infinite tranquility.
"Can I learn something?"
"Would you like to know if you try it?"
……
A certain conqueror who wishes to remain anonymous once said:
“It is better to try it than to hear it a hundred times.”
When facing the unknown, it never hurts to try more.
"Come, close your eyes, I will guide you with my spiritual power."
Under the Tree of Time, Nanxing sat cross-legged, and Kikyo placed his right hand on Nanxing's shoulder.
The pure soul power escaped from Kikyo's hands and transferred to Nanxing's body.
Nanxing quietly felt this unusual power and analyzed the difference between it and chakra.
how to say.
Nan Xing's first impression of this spiritual power was [pure and refined].
It is so pure, like a polished diamond, crystal clear.
In comparison, the feeling that Chakra gave him was [broad and diverse].
Chakra contains everything. If you feel it carefully, you can even feel the heat of fire and the heaviness of earth.
Therefore, it can easily use the Five Elements Escape Technique to create a "big noise" that even ordinary monsters cannot create.
And a moment later.
As Kikyo's guidance deepened, Nanxing gained a deeper understanding of this special power called "Spiritual Power".
"It's different from chakra."
"But part of it seems to have the same origin as chakra."
Nanxing could feel that the chakra in his body was raging because of Kikyo's spiritual power.
It was a very twisted kind of riot.
He felt as if his chakra was divided into two parts.
Some of them were so eager to absorb the spiritual power that they became greedy.
The other part is very resistant to spiritual power and is not willing to get close to it at all.
Nanxing tried hard to suppress this riot, waiting for the guiding spiritual power to completely dissipate.
It was at this moment that Nan Xing suddenly realized that her body had been soaked without her noticing.
Sweating!
"Is it so exhausting?"
Nanxing was a little confused.
What puzzled him even more was his current state.
He could feel his body tired - but in contrast, his spirit was full to the point of being a little excited.
This shouldn't be the case.
If it is consumption, both should be consumed together.
But now, the facts were in front of Nanxing and he had no choice but to believe it.
After ruling out all possibilities, there was only one answer left for Nanxing:
"My spirit has absorbed Kikyo's spiritual power."
"They are of the same origin!"
……
This is actually an obvious answer.
Spiritual power, the power of the soul.
Although the power released from the mind cannot cause any real harm, it can cause extremely high damage to demons and monsters that are born from fear.
This is also the reason why Kikyo and Maple are so different.
In terms of physical fitness alone, Kikyo is actually not much stronger than Kaede, both are at the level of ordinary people.
But in terms of the quality of the soul, Kikyo far exceeds Feng, reaching the level of a [man-made god].
That's why she can be called "Saint Lady".
At the same time, Nanxing thought of the Sage Mode.
"The so-called chakra is a mixture of physical energy and spiritual energy."
"The Sage Mode adds natural energy to the chakra."
"Physical energy, spiritual energy, natural energy... When the ratio of the three reaches 1:1:1, that's when the Sage Mode is successful."
This is the origin of Sage Mode.
If we look at it from this perspective, this so-called spiritual power is actually more like a counterexample to the Sage Mode.
Sage Mode is based on Chakra and adds natural energy.
Spiritual power is based on chakra, but removes physical energy and focuses on spiritual energy.
"Look within, there is nothing outside of the mind."
Nanxing opened his eyes.
He looked at Kikyo who was standing beside him, and then gazed at the Bone-Eating Well not far away.
Above my head, the evening breeze blew the branches of the sacred tree, making a rustling sound.
It was such a beautiful scene.
It is worth his careful remembrance.
We must protect it with our soul.
"Kikyo."
He silently repeated the name in his mind and slowly closed his eyes.
A lavender light bloomed from his body.
When Feng saw this scene, he opened his mouth in disbelief - but quickly covered it with his hands, not daring to make any sound.
Kikyo also saw this scene.
But there was only a smile on her face.
"Spiritual energy is indeed the foundation of spiritual power."
"But if you rely solely on spiritual energy, it cannot be converted into spiritual power."
"More importantly, it is a heart that wants to protect others!"
PS: I really don’t know when Kagome traveled through time... Sorry.
But the patch is in place in the first sentence of the book.
In order to catch up with Yuyuko's progress, I deliberately arranged the timeline to 1550.
In anime, those who care about the timeline are ⑨.
Chapter 15 From now on, I will never walk alone again
