I’m a Witch In Dongying

Because the horns of the ghost tribe and the tail feathers of the blue heron fire are not materials that are known for their sharpness and lightness, the damage increase on the physical level is very limited. The best method of using them is to face those. When a character that is far stronger than himself or cannot be dealt with by conventional means, by detonating the demon power contained in it, a powerful explosion impact and flame damage are formed, and the opponent is bombarded with explosive power.

For example, the red mist that I encountered in the "Leishijie" meets this condition very well.

And as a conventional weapon, when it is used to retreat from monsters, it is putting the cart before the horse.

Of course…

An arrow is not necessary or realistic.

At least [Ghost Feather Arrow] needs to spend a few expenses to test it, so as to know what it is, and the lethality of [Blue Feather Arrow] can also be estimated by one or two based on the former.

As for the chain mail...

This thing weighs almost a dozen catties, and it is quite cumbersome to wear, and it can't be used as daily equipment. But if it is a special action planned in advance, you can wear it on your body to improve your defensive capabilities. With Bai Shuiqiu's current physique, he doesn't need to worry about the problem of carrying weight. The big deal is just to put a [Light Body Talisman] on the chain mail.

After checking, Bai Shuiqiu carefully arranged these magical instruments in the quiver, and put them in the scroll of sealing the demon.

Speaking of which, she "borrowed" this scroll from Suzuki Zhuxi.

Before meeting with Suzuki Zhuxi at Qinggang Station, Bai Shuiqiu tried to suggest that he wanted to exchange the scroll with the talisman or other things in his hand. But Suzuki Zhuxi politely refused, and simply gave the scroll to her free of charge, so this thing became Bai Shuiqiu's possession in a fair way.

It’s just right to hold these things that take up more space.

Be busy.

At three or four o’clock in the afternoon, Bai Shuiqiu took advantage of the time when the number of people in the shrine was low, and quietly touched a fish, and ran to the stream in the back mountain, trying to verify that he was right before. [Five Thunder Curse]'s conjecture.

After several experiments, she has probably confirmed that the rain environment created by the "pray for rain curse" can indeed promote the use of the five thunder curse.

But it may be that her current curse skills are not yet exquisite enough, so the intensity and impact point of the sky thunder she evoked is not stable.

Fortunately, there is Mingleiyu, a magic weapon of the lightning system, which can act as a natural lightning rod, attracting all the thunder and lightning that has been smashed everywhere, and then absorb it into the few gouyu jade. After an hour or so of busy work, the three gou jade used in the inner world last time were finally charged again, and the blue arc on the surface of the jade also brightened up again, like tiny thunder snakes swimming quietly. go.

While Bai Shuiqiu concentrated on exploring the spell, the other people in the shrine did not react.

On the contrary, the peach tree demon turned into a human form and ran over from the woods on the other side of the shrine to see it.

As a monster that grows in the valley of falling thunder and is struck by lightning from small to large, the peach tree demon is most sensitive to the breath of sky thunder.

At this time, hearing Bai Shuiqiu's movement, it thought it was the sky thunders in the Luo Lei Valley who were chasing this way. It was worried that it might attract the sky thunders, so it ran to the back mountain in a panic.

After hearing Bai Shuiqiu’s explanation, the Peach Tree Demon breathed a sigh of relief, and then stood cautiously in a corner of the open space. After looking for a while, he tentatively stretched out his palm—or the branch, and absorbed a few thunders. The arc of thunder spilling out beside the jade.

Yes, it is "absorption".

The lightning arc that was about to disappear in the air quietly submerged into the Peach Tree Demon in the blink of an eye. This sight made Bai Shuiqiu a little surprised.

"Just now that was..."

"Um, I can actually absorb a small part of the energy in these lightning..."

Peach Tree Fairy explained in a low voice.

"There is such a thing?"

Thunder and lightning in the natural world have natural restraint for most monsters. Ordinary little monsters are likely to be smashed after a few hits. Even if they are as strong as Ibaraki, they will be smashed by lightning. In the middle, he was obviously injured.

This is why the peach tree in Luo Lei Valley, although it possesses a strong spirituality, almost none of them can be successfully cultivated into a monster.

However, "Spring Painting" is a special case.

Probably because it has transformed into a demon under the baptism of thunder and lightning, the branches and trunks of the whole body are almost natural [lightning wood]-when compared to the human form, it is the limbs and the main trunk-so it also has some ordinary A characteristic that a monster does not have, it can draw power from the lightning to strengthen itself. Not only will the demon energy aura in the body show a slight increase, at the same time the faint peach blossom scent exuding from the body will become more intense.

Of course, this absorption is limited.

Because when struck by lightning, the "skin" of the peach tree demon will also show signs of dryness and burning, but these wounds can be healed in a very short time.

But as long as the density of the lightning fall is not as dense as in the Thunder Valley, it will be of great benefit to the Peach Tree Demon.

"Perhaps, when you practice the Five Thunder Curse in the future, you can bring Chune on and make more splits?"

"Speaking..."

If an ordinary tree is struck by lightning, can it also form a lightning strike?

With this idea in mind, Bai Shuiqiu tried to introduce a thunder and lightning into a big tree next to him, to see if he could use artificial lightning to create a natural Lightning Strike Wood. As a result, a thunder struck down, and almost didn't smash the big tree that was hugged to death on the spot.

Fortunately, a peach tree demon stood by, helping to absorb a large part of the impact of thunder and lightning, only to save the life of the big tree, but a large black trace was still left on the trunk.

Ok…

It seems that the trees that can resist thunder and lightning without being directly smashed to death do not occupy a high proportion of the entire tree species. Otherwise, they can directly pull a few carts of firewood and throw them into places like the Thunder Valley and let the lightning scorch. , A large number of [Thunder Strike Wood] can be produced in minutes, and this wood will not become a rare material for making magical artifacts...

After this time, Bai Shuiqiu had already led down three or four sky thunders one after another, which actually consumed a lot of spiritual power in his body.

Sitting on the rock by the stream and resting for a while, when the energy recovered some, he dragged his slightly exhausted body and walked back. When I entered the courtyard, I saw a row of guests who had just finished paying their respects standing next to the hand water house. About a dozen people were gathered together and looked up at the sky. The clothes on their bodies were somewhat damp.

Several of them were still looking in the direction of the back mountain, so they noticed Bai Shuiqiu for the first time.

"Huh, isn't that Xiaoqiu?"

"Did you come down from the top of the mountain? Just now, there seemed to be several thunders in succession, and there were a few intermittent rains, which made us think that there will be a heavy rain, so we are going to stay here and wait for a while. …Miss Bai Shui hasn’t been showered, right?"

"This horrible weather is really bad, and the weather forecast didn't say it will rain today..."

"Forehead…"

Bai Shuiqiu twitched the corners of his mouth, and replied with a few words like "Alternative summer and autumn, the weather is changeable, remember to bring an umbrella when going out in recent days" etc., just to perfuse these guests and wait until they are seen. As they set foot on the mountain road and all the way down the mountain, they sighed slightly, and their minds floated quietly.

It seems that a spell like the [Five Thunder Curse] that can lead to changes in the weather cannot be practiced casually.

In case someone notices it, it is possible to use this to infer the fact that she has the Five Thunder Curse, which will cause unnecessary trouble, so it is better to find a more remote place to practice, and then it will be calculated. Things will not be suspected to the head of the shrine.

"Decided, go back and search on the map..."

Remember that in the eastern suburbs, there are still many sparsely populated and barren mountains. It shouldn’t be difficult to find an alternative place...

…

The search for a training site couldn't be settled for a while, and Bai Shuiqiu was not in a hurry either.

After all, the highest priority thing right now is the Rain God Festival that is right in front of you. Compared with this festival, everything else can be a little later. Anyway, Mingleiyu was already fully charged, plus the dozens of talismans that had come out of the liver over the past few days, it was enough for ordinary emergencies.

Even if you really can’t handle it, you can call Jiufeng Shion to come over to relieve the siege, but I don’t know if this woman will take advantage of the situation and stay away...

It was the next morning in a blink of an eye.

Bai Shuiqiu got up early as usual, and ran to the small stream in the back mountain to do a few baji boxing. When returning to the shrine along the path, he saw a figure dressed in white appearing on the side of the mountain forest, smiling. Beckoned to her: "Oh, Xiao Qiu, good morning."

"Good morning... eh, when did you come here??"

Bai Shuiqiu greeted him smoothly, and then reacted, opening his eyes in astonishment.

"Just arrived."

Jiufeng Shion put his hands on his chest, and the expression on his face seemed very comfortable: "When I came here yesterday, I just talked to your father, and I didn't have time to get familiar with the environment around the shrine... Well, the mountains are beautiful and the air is fresh. It is indeed a good place for self-cultivation. It seems that the first generation maiden of your family has a good vision of choosing a place."

"Yes?"

Bai Shuiqiu also smiled: "Then I will thank you for your compliment on her behalf."

"You are welcome."

There is a saying that the environment of Tianmu Mountain is really good.

Compared with the surrounding mountainous areas, not only does the green vegetation cover a larger area, but the creek at the top of the mountain gurgles down the mountain along the mountain. The predecessor named Shirasui Nansaki chose the address of the shrine at the beginning. Here, I am afraid it was decided after careful consideration.

Therefore, the praise of the old monster is well-deserved.

After a few more words, Bai Shuiqiu came to the mountain road next to Jiufeng Ziyuan. The woman naturally took two steps forward, walked side by side with her, and walked in the direction of the shrine.

On the way, Jiufeng Ziyuan asked about the Peach Tree Demon.

After all, this woman is a thousand-year-old monster. Even if her perception ability is not as sharp as the wind raccoon, it is stronger than most monsters. As early as yesterday when she came to "home visit", she had actually noticed the peach tree monster standing behind the Tianmu Shrine. , I just haven't asked.

After listening to Bai Shuiqiu's explanation of the process of subduing the Peach Tree Demon, the woman rubbed her chin, thoughtfully:

"Oh, there is such a thing unexpectedly.

After the tree demon escaped from Luo Lei Valley that day, the cultivating families in Kyoto sent hundreds of people to search around, all wanting to be the first to conquer it. Unexpectedly, you would be the first to board it in the end. I really want to see what expressions those guys will make when they learn about this news...

Well, although the monsters cultivated by the peach trees over the years are not as rare as the wind monsters, they are also hard to see on weekdays.

What's more, the peach tree itself has the effect of restraining evil spirits. This tree monster took root and grew up in places like the Thunder Valley. It has more lightning power in its body than ordinary tree monsters. It can be said to be the natural enemy of the evil spirits. If you train a little bit, it may be an unexpected boost. "

This is also true.

In the ancient mythology of Dongying, Izanaki successfully returned to the world from the land of yellow springs by smashing back the chasing soldiers with peaches. And the peach tree that met Izanaki at that time was also named the "great destiny of the great god." In theory, peach trees actually have a little more potential for killing ghosts and exorcising evil spirits than ordinary trees, but...

"Chune's ability to move is still weak, and... if you bring it with you when you go out, there will be no one to look after the house..."

The former is fact.

But the real reason is actually the latter. After all, Bai Shuiqiu still prefers to act with puppet dolls compared to the peach tree demon with a slightly weaker frontal combat ability. After all, the thoughts and vision of both sides can be shared in real time, and it is convenient to advance and retreat...

"..."

Hearing Bai Shuiqiu's response, Jiufeng Ziyuan twitched the corner of his mouth, but said nothing.

When she was about to go out of the woods and walk outside the gate of the shrine, the woman stopped: "Well, I am going around on this mountain now. I was too rushed when I came yesterday, and I didn’t have time to take a good look around. The scenery. Just go to your shrine with peace of mind and leave me alone."

"Oh well."

Bai Shuiqiu paused, then turned to look at Jiufeng Ziyuan, the expression on his face became solemn:

"By the way, there is one more thing, which is not an order...I hope you don’t use the ability to manipulate memory to the people on Tianmu Mountain, whether it is the elders in my family or the tourists who come to worship... If there is any special situation. If you do, you can contact me at any time."

Mime private 626

After signing the Shiki God contract, now Bai Shuiqiu can communicate with Jiufeng Shion through his mind.

Just like before with the wind raccoon.

This ability can actually be regarded as a hidden ability of [Contract Technique]. Although the coverage area is not very large, it is almost within a few hundred meters of a radius, but it is much more convenient than making a phone call. As long as both parties are near Tianmu Mountain, real-time communication can basically be achieved.

And Bai Shuiqiu's special admonition was mainly because he was worried that Jiufeng Shion would make his own way and use his ability to interfere with the memory of others, causing unnecessary trouble to his shrine. With the old monster's mind, he must still know the measure, but saying it or not, it's a different matter.

"...Okay, I see. Since it's Xiaoqiu's decision, I will naturally follow it."

Jiufeng Shion thought for a while, then nodded.

Then, Bai Shuiqiu waved his hand, said hello to the woman, and then turned and walked into the shrine.

When she walked to the main entrance of the shrine, Shiramine also quietly stepped back, gradually disappearing among the lush trees.

…

For the next two days, Washimine Shion still appeared in the shrine from time to time.

Sometimes it's in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon or dusk, and every time you show up, it's fascinating. Compared with "sightseeing scenery", it's more like stepping around.

That is, Yu Nui is now in deep sleep...

Otherwise, according to Yu Girl's temperament, I am afraid that Jiufeng Ziyuan would have been blasted out long ago.

For Bai Shuiqiu, it doesn't matter if Washmine Shion runs around in the forests near his shrine every day, as long as you don't run into the shrine while bathing and sleeping. In theory, Jiufeng Shion can indeed enter and exit her bedroom and the bathroom in the shrine at will.

Because I can encounter Jiufeng Ziyuan as soon as I go out these days, Bai Shuiqiu is a little nervous. Every time I change clothes before and after bathing, I need to close the windows and curtains first before I dare to dress and undress. Move.

Fortunately, this woman still knows a little bit in her heart. It may be simply because there are too many visitors who come to worship every day, so she spends most of the time wandering in the mountains and forests outside, and occasionally wandering around the creek in the back mountain, but He did not enter the inner room of the shrine again.

This point made Bai Shuiqiu a sigh of relief...

But soon, she didn't even bother to pay attention to Jiufeng Ziyuan's affairs.

Because the annual Rain God Festival at Tenme Shrine is already here.

The annual Rain God Festival is the time when Tenmu Shrine has the most visitor traffic.

People living in several villages and towns in the eastern suburbs, even if they don't come here often, at this time, most of them will come to worship and pray for good luck. And this year, because of the emergence of Bai Shuiqiu, the champion of the IH national competition, the popularity of Tenmoku Shrine has become particularly strong, which is completely different from the scenes of previous years.

In these two days, before the festival started, the guests in the shrine have been in an endless stream, and hundreds of people come to worship and pray for blessings every day.

According to Bai Shuiqiu's estimation, by the day of the official festival, the passenger flow may reach an unprecedented number of thousands of people.

With so many people, it is naturally impossible for all of them to be crowded in the courtyard, so the festival would not be able to start at all.

Only a small number of respected "visited guests" can really sit in the central area of ​​the courtyard and watch the ceremony.

For example, the few big benefactors who pay the shrine regularly every year.

There are also several respectable elderly people in nearby villages and towns, as well as official personnel such as the mayor.

After all the seats of these people are arranged, then outside is the place for other guests to watch the festival.

Therefore, generally in such large-scale festival activities, the outermost guests often just listen to the sound, because the overlapping human walls are obstructed, and the content of the performance is not visible at all. In order to solve this problem, Bai Shuiqiu asked Akiyama Motoya to send a group of people to temporarily set up several viewing platforms in the relatively spacious open area around the courtyard.
