My Japanese story is a bit sweet

Chapter 253 The Dust Settles
November 11st, a winter day with a calm wind.

The sun is slowly setting, the building is in a shadow, snowflakes are coming, and the cold night is visiting.

A tight barrier was set up around the Asakusa Shrine, and the stone lanterns ignited the flames of spiritual power. From a high altitude, it looks like wildfires are burning everywhere, and the heat and smoke float high into the air.

In the depths of the ruins, like explosions, flames continued to light up.

When Fujiwara Xingkong got out of the car, he staggered.

"Can you still hold on?" Shino Tsuchimikado supported him, with worried eyes: "Why don't you just find a place to lie down, and I will come back to help you collect the body after the incident is over."

"Hearing what you said made me feel cold."

"You are going to be cold, can your heart not be cold?"

"Then please ask Tsuchimikado-san to warm me up."

"You're doing serious business, don't mess around."

The two walked to the inside of the shrine, passed the torii gate, and a large group of heavily armed members of the nine divisions stood guard.

Go further, pass through the hall of worship, and come to the ruins of the shrine.

On the altar, Priest Kuga, who was wearing a sari robe, was chanting a congratulatory speech, as if inspired by spiritual power, and the stone lanterns on the approach path lit up one after another.

The intense firelight illuminated the dark approach as if it were daytime. Through the light of the fire, Fujiwara Xingkong saw Xia Xilin in a priestess costume. She was carrying a wooden bow, and her eyes were shining with spiritual flames.

The old woman stood on the other side with a gloomy expression, and there were more than a dozen priests and priestesses from other shrines around her.

Wearing a black combat uniform, Yukino Risa came out of the ranks of the Ninth Division, looked at the starry sky of Fujiwara, and said in a resentful tone, "You plan to die outside."

Shino Tsuchimikado let go of Fujiwara Hoshiku all at once, and threw herself at Shino Niijima who was approaching.

"Wow, I haven't seen you for a few days. Xiaozhen is so cute again. Come and let my sister hug her."

"." Niijima was helplessly dragged back.

Fujiwara Hoshiku smiled at his sister-in-law, and stretched out his hand to hug Yukino Risa into his arms.

"If possible, I really want to die outside."

"If you really like this, I will directly build a grave for you." Yukino Risa blocked her nose, lay on his shoulder and complained: "Even if you become a monster, I will treat you as dead."

"Don't miss Risa-san's embrace." Fujiwara Xingkong arched his head vigorously, and changed the topic: "What's the situation now?"

"In the morning, Yatengu sent a letter, saying that he would visit Asakusa Shrine tonight." Yukino Risa glanced at the middle of the altar, and then said, "They are preparing to meet the enemy now."

"How's the investigation on the old woman?"

"The evidence is almost assembled."

"That's good." Fujiwara Xingkong nodded, "No matter what happens in the future, people from Section Nine should not act."

Yukino Risa gently stroked his cheek: "Listen to you."

During the conversation, a palpitating breath descended from the sky.

Someone yelled, "Here we come!"

Countless beautiful fragments fell from the sky, Fujiwara Xingkong looked up and found that it was snowing.

Dressed in a crimson royal robe, the Yatengu with handsome features flapped its white wings and hovered quietly above everyone's heads.

"Chongde!" Yukino Risa's aura instantly became extremely aggressive, and Fujiwara Hoshikong was so frightened that he hugged her waist tightly, not daring to let go.

"Calm down, listen to my arrangement"

Xia Xilin in the distance looked back at him with a sad smile on the corner of his mouth.

The situation became tense in an instant. Priest Jiuga, who was in the middle of the altar, formed seals with both hands, and several other priests also made moves at the same time, and a light blue light bloomed dazzlingly.

"boom!"

The explosion was loud and deafening, and the light from the aura blasted all over the sky in the darkness.

Yatengu's figure in the center of the explosion flashed, and there was a "wow" breaking wind, and he left the scope of the battle in an instant, and appeared in front of the house that was still intact in the ruins.

"Get out of that room!"

The old lady Xia Xi let out a shriek, and her figure rushed out in an instant, her large red imperial robe bulging in the air.

With a calm expression, Xia Xilin took out a feathered arrow from the quiver and drew the bow to the string.

With a sound of "咻", the arrow wrapped in a faint blue light pierced the night sky, pierced the old witch's shoulder, and fell directly to the ground with a plop, rolling several times before stopping.

The sudden change stunned the remaining priests of Asakusa Shrine.

"Xiao Lin, you." Priest Jiu Wo took a step forward in surprise, and an arrow directly brushed his cheek.

Holding a wooden bow, Xia Xilin stood in front of Yatengu and the priests.

The flickering flames reflected on her pale face, making one's heart tremble with desolation.

The old witch raised her dusty face and looked at her fiercely: "What are you doing? You are a witch, do you want to follow your mother's example and collude with monsters?"

Xia Xilin's slender fingertips holding the bowstring trembled slightly, but the rejection in her eyes did not waver in the slightest.

Behind her, Yatengu took out a blood-stained talisman and stuck it on the copper lock of the room.

With a sound of "hum", there was a wave of ripples in the air, and the defensive barrier attached to the copper lock instantly disintegrated.Yatengu pushed open the door, and a foul-smelling black mist rushed towards his face. A look of sadness flashed in his eyes and disappeared in an instant.

Shino Tsuchimikado leaned close to Fujiwara Xingkong's ear and said, "That should be Xia Xilin's blood."

"Jiu me, take them down!" The old witch screamed mournfully, her voice was like a cornered beast.

Priest Jiuwo stood on the spot with a tangled expression. After hesitating for a moment, he could only bite the bullet and approach Xia Xilin.

The priests and priestesses of the remaining shrines followed closely behind.

"And you!" The old witch looked back at everyone in the Nine Divisions, "My Xia Xi family spends so much money every year, is it because I invite you to come to the theater?"

"cut."

Yukino Risa looked away contemptuously, and everyone in the Ninth Division who did not receive her order stood still, quietly watching the development of the situation.

Fujiwara Xingkong took the last healing medicine, took a deep breath, stomped on his toes, and jumped to Xia Xilin's side.

Yatengu looked back at the two of them, then walked into the room shrouded in black mist.

Clang!
The ghost was unsheathed, the boy's side face was illuminated by the knife light, and the serious and resolute hub.

"Fujiwara." Xia Xilin stared at him weakly, her eyes slightly hot: "Did I become a bad witch?"

"How is it possible." Fujiwara Xingkong said with a smile, "Xia Xilin is the best shrine maiden in the world."

"I want to see my mother again."

"I know."

Fujiwara Xingkong reached out and stroked her cheek: "No matter what you want to do, I will accompany you."

"Um"

Xia Xilin smiled softly, transparent sweat appeared on her bloodless cheeks, and she looked very weak.

Priest Jiu Wo stopped and looked at her with pity, and the rest of the priests could hardly move forward.

"You can't fight anymore, leave it to me."

Fujiwara Hoshiku kissed her on the face, and walked towards the old woman who was struggling to get up.

"Little devil, you are so brave!" The old woman Xia Xi's waist was bent down, and under her loose white hair, her eyes were full of resentment.

"Fujiwara." Priest Jiuga also persuaded: "Don't be impulsive, sit down and talk slowly if you have anything to do."

"Yes, I know you are very powerful, but this is a matter within our Shinto, and you are not allowed to act wild here."

"Don't be too presumptuous."

"Collude with monsters is a felony, so be sober."

The surroundings began to roar loudly, and Fujiwara Xingkong shrugged indifferently: "Anyone who wants to stop me can come up and try."

"Too presumptuous!"

"Catch me!"

A priest from the Suga Shrine rushed out from the crowd. Fujiwara Xingkong pulled the light of the knife in his hand, and directly cut a deep knife wound on his chest, and then kicked him away.

With the blood-stained knife tip dragging on the ground, Fujiwara Xingkong's eyes were stern, and his fingers almost pointed at the noses of these priests and maidens: "You people, shit is worse! Where were you when the Sendagaya incident? No Senior sister tried her best to stop you and still sit here? Where were you when the Rashomon incident happened? Tell me what did you do?"

There was no sound in the surroundings, except for the sound of the flames burning, only his slightly crazy voice echoed.

"You shit didn't do anything! You have done more than you have failed, and when the matter is almost over, you will come out to publicize your achievements, and you will get a share of the benefits. If you get less, you still don't like it."

"Old woman, why are you hiding? Aren't you afraid of me? Why are you hiding so far away?"

Fujiwara Xingkong pointed at Xia Xilin: "That's your granddaughter, do you know? If you don't know, let me remind you that it's your granddaughter. If you don't recognize it, don't use her mother's responsibility to bind her. Did you hear me clearly?"

"That's my family business, what's none of your business?" The old woman looked at him sadly, shook her fingers, and said word by word: "That's what her mother owes me, the debt she owes to the Asakusa Shrine, she just It must be paid back!"

"Hehe. You should really be glad that the people from the Nine Divisions are here. It's not convenient for me to kill you." Fujiwara Xingkong laughed, but in an instant, the mocking smile and his indifferent eyes perfectly merged together .

With a flash of his figure, he picked up the table for visiting sacrifices, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the head of the old woman and swung it down vigorously.

"boom!"

The table roared down, and the old woman could only block it with her hand in a hurry. When the blood burst out, there were flying sawdust all over the sky.

A priest closest to her reacted and wanted to block it.

Fujiwara Xingkong dodged lightly, and then kicked hard at the old woman's knee.

A "click" sound.

The legs were twisted and deformed, and Senhan's white bones protruded.

"Ah" screamed,
The rest of the priests and witches all staggered back in fright. Priest Jiuga looked at the scene in front of him with a complicated expression, and wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say a single word.

Xia Xilin watched coldly, with a hint of relief in her cold eyes.

Fujiwara Xingkong bent down and looked at the old woman: "If I didn't want to save your life to give an explanation to those who are still alive, I would kill you now."

"What did you say? Let me tell you, I'm from Xia Xi's family, you'd better be careful what you say."

The old woman whose head was bloodied was propped up on the ground with her hands, and she crawled back out with fear in her eyes.

"You must have lost count of how many people you killed in order to revive Xia Xizhenchuan."

Fujiwara Xingkong's voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly, and a strange silence enveloped everyone's heads.

In the room behind him, Yatengu walked out with a coffin on his shoulders, flapping his wings and flying into the air without even looking at this side.

Yukino Risa beckoned, and several members of the Nine Divisions stepped forward to help the old woman treat her injuries and at the same time read out the arrest warrant.

Fujiwara Xingkong breathed a sigh of relief, walked back to Xia Xilin's side, and took her hand.

"Let's go, let's find the final answer together."

"it is good!"

Xia Xilin took a deep breath, put her arms around his neck and kissed him.

Yes.

No more confusion, no more fear.

Even if her mother can never come back, Xiao Lin is no longer afraid.

No matter what the future is, he will be with me.

……

Makoto Niijima summoned Itsu Shinten out, and the five of them flew into the wind on a monster with a human face and a snake body, and flew to the shrine hidden in the deep mountains.

A strong wind blew across my face, and snowflakes drifted around me.

When he came to Saitama, Yatengu had already been waiting for a long time.

After Fujiwara Xingkong landed, he saw the stone platform behind him at a glance.

A simple altar was set up above, with a cushion in the middle, and the coffin containing Natsuki Magawa was behind the cushion.There are many offerings on the worship platform, such as silver coins, white silk, brave slaves, armor, bows and arrows; most of them are paper products.

In addition, there are sacrificial utensils such as taiko drums, conch shells, incense sticks, mantras and so on.

It seems that the sacrificial ceremony is ready.

"Xiao Lin, you are lying on the mat." Yatengu said, pointing to the mat.

Xia Xilin subconsciously glanced at Fujiwara Xingkong, who nodded.

"Miss Fujiwara and Tsuchimikado come with me."

Yatengu led the two of them to the room where Fujiwara Xingkong visited last time. There was a rather simple altar inside, a quadrilateral enchantment surrounded by red strings, and the mirror was placed on the table in the middle—— The Yata Mirror, one of the three artifacts.

The maid had been waiting for a long time, and when she saw Fujiwara Xingkong appearing, she ran over excitedly and raised her face slightly: "Hi, young master."

"It's been hard work for you during this time." Fujiwara Xingkong patted her on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

"It's not hard." Sachiko Shiraishi shook her head, squinted her eyes and said with a smile, "As long as the young lady and the young master are safe and sound, Sachiko will not suffer at all."

"Hey" Tsuchimikado Shino pinched Fujiwara Hoshika, leaned into his ear and asked in a low voice: "Is this maid eaten by you too?"

Hoshi Fujiwara gave her a blank look.

Yatengu walked into the quadrangular enchantment and sat, looking up at Xingkong Fujiwara: "Natsuki Makawa cannot be resurrected. I searched for her soul alone in another world for ten years but couldn't find it."

Tsuchimikado Shino asked, "What is your guess?"

"I saw her die with my own eyes." Crow Tengu closed his eyes and his voice trembled: "Her mother's 'Demon Sealing Arrow' penetrated her head all at once."

"So." Tsuchimikado Shino frowned all of a sudden, "You mean, Natsuki Makawa's soul was sealed inside her corpse?"

"That's right." Yatengu nodded, and slowly opened his eyes: "In the past ten years, her soul has been polluted by countless resentful spirits, and she has already lost her own wisdom and the possibility of resurrection. .If you open that coffin, then you will see a monster in the appearance of Natsuki Makawa."

Fujiwara Xingkong frowned and remained silent.

Yatengu looked at him and smiled: "Whether you want to open the coffin or not, you make your own choice. Now I plan to transfer the remaining demon power to Xiao Lin, so as to help the demon power in her body suppress the spiritual power. Let me say this Remember the incantations used in the sacrifice and the steps of the sacrifice, both of you."

……

On the side of the altar in the square, Niijima put his arms around his sister's arm and looked worriedly into the middle of the altar.

Xia Xilin lay on her back on the mat, looking as if she had fallen asleep.The wind gently caressed her soft body, and the red ribbon around her waist swayed with the wind.

Footsteps sounded behind them, and the two sisters looked back and asked at the same time, "What's wrong?"

Tsuchimikado Shino kept a cold face, walked towards the stone steps without saying a word, stood on the altar and looked around, as if making a final confirmation.

Fujiwara Xingkong came between the two sisters and said with a smile: "She's jealous."

"Jealous?"

"You don't know, she and Xia Xizhen Chuan had sex. But now she wants to help her rival to save his daughter. Do you think she can not be jealous?"

Niijima's eyes widened, his little head was full of question marks.

Yukino Risa covered her mouth, holding back her laughter with difficulty.

Shino Tsuchyumen glanced over from a distance, and said angrily, "Little devil, be quicker, or I won't be saved!"

"I'm coming."

Fujiwara Xingkong suppressed the smile on his face and walked towards her. The cold night wind blew the hem of his clothes and made it flap.

Shino Tsuchimikado took out a stack of papers from the altar and handed them to him. They were all talisman papers filled with spells.

Fujiwara Xingkong took it, pressed the talisman paper to his chest, and closed his eyes.

Then, he nodded to Tsuchimikado Sinon.

Immediately, Tsuchimikado Shino picked up the drumstick and struck the taiko drum nine times in succession.Then, he pressed the flute to his lips and blew the sound, and the music containing the magic power floated up and directly penetrated into the cold air.

Fujiwara Xingkong raised the talisman paper in his hand and recited the mantra loudly.

A blue light instantly lit up.

The deep and silent night is ignited, bursting forth from the deepest darkness.

The ring of fate is now turning at an accelerated speed.

"Bang".

The maiden costume on Xia Xilin's body instantly bulged, and a khaki aura floated from the room where Yatengu was, and poured into her body continuously.

The original situation where the demon power and spiritual power were evenly matched was broken. From now on, she can use her own spiritual power as she pleases, as well as the terrifyingly powerful demon power of the complete Yatengu.

Time passed little by little.

There seemed to be thunder in the distance, and I raised my face to look outside, but I couldn't see anything, there was only a dark sky.

With the support of Sachiko Shiraishi, Yatengu came out of the room and slowly came to the side of the altar.

Yukino Risa glanced sideways, and the originally handsome monster had completely changed.

The wrinkled face was extremely frightening, pale, and there were large beads of sweat on his forehead.Dry lips, cracked like extremely dry land.

Not long after her life, Yukino Risa came to such a conclusion and looked back.

Fujiwara Hoshiku and Tsuchimikado Shino came down from the altar.

Soon, Xia Xilin also woke up.

Regaining consciousness, slowly opened eyes.

Night, no stars, no moon.The cold wind of the winter night blew across my cheeks, but I didn't feel cold at all.

The girl stood up from the mat, and in the eyes of everyone, her long hair tied with a pure white ribbon fluttered softly in the wind.

Yatengu's face was filled with something like a smile, like the wind blowing across calm water, expressing natural, and should be said, good-natured affection.

"You lied to me that you wanted to revive your mother." Xia Xilin looked at the big demon who was about to die, and asked with a complicated expression: "Actually, you just want to pass on the power of the demon to me?"

Yatengu nodded: "Your mother is in that coffin, it's up to you to decide whether to open it or not."

Xia Xilin looked at Xingkong Fujiwara and smiled gracefully: "I order you, come up and accompany me."

"As you order, my Miss Xia Xi."

Fujiwara Xingkong walked up to the altar again, and the two stood side by side in front of the coffin.

"Hey, Fujiwara."

"Ok?"

"I am also a monster now." Xia Xilin smiled, "We will get tired of being together for a long time in the future, so help me forget the past."

"no problem."

Fujiwara Hoshizo pulled Onikiri out and lifted the coffin lid.

Xia Xilin pulled back the wooden bow, her fingertips lingering with spiritual energy.

A ray of dense black air leaked out, carrying thick resentment, suffocating like water.

The miko, whose face was almost identical to Xia Xilin's, got up from the coffin, twisted her neck 90°, and looked at the two of them with empty eyes.

A feathered arrow pierced her head obliquely, and resentment and resentment continuously gushed out from the wound.

A line of clear tears slid down Xia Xilin's cheek, shining a faint silver light in the night.

Yatengu raised his head with difficulty, probably exhausting what little emotion he had left, tears slowly slid down his cheeks and fell to the ground.

"Goodbye, Xiao Lin has grown up."

Xia Xilin loosened her fingertips, and a blue light flashed past.

Tsuchimikado Shino closed her eyes instantly.

When it opened again, silvery snowflakes floated in the sky, and there was no one in the coffin.She stared blankly for a while, shrugged her shoulders, and murmured: "My mother is gone, so I can find a way to get my daughter."

Fujiwara Xingkong slowly sat on the ground, smiled weakly.

The effect of the advanced healing medicine has passed, and he can no longer control the origin of the monster in his body.

His eyes swept over Yukino Risa, Natsuki Rin, Niijima Ma, Tsuchimikado Shino one by one, and finally smiled: "Listen, remember to pick me up when I wake up. And Sei That little cutie Erti, even if she doesn't come, help me tie her up!"

Tsuchimikado Shino glared at him: "If you want to die, hurry up and stop talking nonsense."

"You will never get married with such a mouth."

Fujiwara Hoshizora smiled and cursed, lying on his back.

A ball of yellow light pierced the skin from his lower abdomen, quickly eating away at the rest of his body.

Niijima couldn't bear to close his eyes, buried his head in his sister's arms, and wept softly.

The yellow light group gradually grew, and soon gradually changed into a human form. After the light dissipated little by little, it turned into the body of Xinchuan Yuai.

The snow is getting bigger.

Yukino Risa took a deep breath, and then muttered silently in her heart.

When you wake up, I will definitely stab you!

　I'm completely out of shape, let's finish it in a hurry, there is one chapter left, which will be coded out tomorrow.
