I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 368: Be alert and don't lose face

I thought of the helicopter formation that passed by earlier and the request for help from the Jinguji family's demon exorcist last night.

Higashino Yu vaguely guessed what it was about. After reading the message on his phone, he found out that it was indeed a call for demon exorcists, and it was related to the demon chaos in Chiba Prefecture.

However, no specific information was revealed in the text message. It only said that exorcists were needed there to provide support, and hoped that exorcists near Chiba would see this message and go there as soon as possible.

Of course, it was just a hope, not a mandatory order. Even the Ministry of Religion, Culture, Science and Technology had no jurisdiction over the exorcists.

Higashino Yu opened the official website of the Ministry of Religion, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology again, and easily found the call for exorcism in Chiba Prefecture on the affairs page. It described the situation in Chiba Prefecture in detail, and even gave a brief description of the appearance of the demons in Chiba Prefecture.

".Preliminary judgment is that it is a demon of the evil spirit type. It was most likely a female when she was alive. Her spirit body has merged with a giant carriage. There are countless souls bound in the carriage. She is good at driving these souls to attack, has the ability to charm, and is suspected to have powerful hallucinogenic spells."

She seems very similar to the Oboroguma-hime described in Seigen Jinguji's Travels.

If it really is Princess Oboroguma, then perhaps this is an opportunity to find a chance to explore the situation at Mount Oe. After all, it is difficult to guarantee that the information recorded in those ancient books has not changed over the past few hundred years.

Dong Ye Yu pondered for two seconds. Although he had not yet achieved the golden elixir, it was only a matter of time. Moreover, he had the Samadhi True Fire, so he was not afraid of this evil ghost.

After flipping through it again, I found that there are not many official records about this demon suspected to be Princess Oboroguma. Could it be that Kagami Hiiragi knows more?
Dong Yeyu thought of this and immediately called her, but the phone got a busy tone, indicating that the phone was out of service area.

what happened?

Dongye Yu was confused at first, but then became a little uneasy. Could she have gone to Chiba?

Dong Ye Yu frowned, and the more he thought about it, the more worried he became. He even began to worry that she had gone to Chiba last night and something had happened to her.

"Well, Ayu seems to be troubled. Did something happen?" Iori Tadamichi, who was standing next to him, had finished reciting the prayer at some point and was looking at him now.

Dong Yeyu nodded solemnly: "There's a demon in Qianye, it's a bit tricky. I'm worried that Hiiragi Jing has followed her family there."

Iori Tadamichi wanted to remind him that as mentioned before, there were demons from Oeyama lurking in the dark, so it seemed not a wise move to leave Inari Shrine at this time.

However, when his eyes fell on his face, he knew that Dong Yeyu had already made up his mind, and his old face with wrinkles all over it was stunned.

The somewhat dazzling rising sun made people subconsciously squint their eyes. The outline of Higashino Yu was inlaid with a golden and white light edge. The backlight made it difficult for Iori Tadamichi to see his appearance clearly. It seemed that his old eyes were blurred in an instant, and the person in front of him overlapped with the person in his memory.

卿司
It seemed that when Qing Si said goodbye to me, it was also here, at the morning and evening festival.

The two are actually very different. Qingsi is the old-fashioned and polite child, while Ayu appears to be free and easy-going, but is actually upright and steady. In Shenzhou's words, she has a pure heart.

But one thing is the same: once they make a decision, they will not change it easily.

".Have you decided to go?"

"Yeah." Dongye Yu nodded slightly without hesitation. A mere demon was not something that would make him afraid to act rashly. If he was not worried about being robbed, he would have been carrying the Chunyang Sword Box and searching the world for Shuten Douji to solo.

When Iori Tadamichi heard this, he knew he couldn't persuade him. He was silent for a moment, thinking about what he could do for him.

Two seconds later, the old man suddenly remembered something and said, "Wait for me."

He lifted the bloated hem of the priest's official uniform and trotted to the main hall where the deity was enshrined in a funny manner. He first apologized in a low voice, then pushed the door open and took down a long black sword with a white cloth wrapped in the blade from the altar.

Crack!

Just as he was about to reach out to touch it, he was hit by an electric spark. Iori Tadamichi turned around and smiled at Higashino Yu who was following him: "It still doesn't want me to touch it, Ayu, you try it."

"This sword has been in the service of the Emperor and has been freed of all impurities. The sword spirit is pure. You can bring it with you to help you exorcise the demon."

That's it.

Dongye Yu glanced at the thunder sword that he was almost forgetting, stood outside the hall, held the Qing Seal in his hand, bowed slightly, and then stepped in - this hall was where the divine body, that is, the three sacred artifacts of sword, jade, and mirror that symbolized the gods were stored. Princess Inaho had helped him a lot, and he should give her the respect she deserved.

When he arrived in front of the altar, he first took a look around. The foul aura that had originally entangled the Thunder Sword had indeed completely dissipated.

It's a good sword.

Dong Ye Yu stretched out his hand to grasp the hilt of the sword, but unexpectedly, the black sword that had been lying quietly on the knife rack on the altar suddenly made a metallic humming sound, so he hurriedly pulled the old man back.

Crack!

Countless blue and white arcs of electricity burst out from the black sword, instantly turning the altar into a pool of lightning, refusing anyone to approach.

This sword was what he got from the mountain god of Hegui Mountain last time. As a divine sword, its spirituality naturally far surpassed those of the spiritual swords such as Chengming, Ichimonji and Changguang, and it already had self-awareness.

It is normal to be hostile to it since you killed its master.

The mountain god colluded with the demons and watched the civilians under his rule being devoured by the demons. He deserved to be killed.

Dong Ye Yu had no psychological burden at all for killing the Crane God, and naturally he did not feel any guilt when facing the divine sword.

"Your master has fallen into depravity and colluded with demons. It is my duty to kill him. Even if I am not there, there are other people or gods who will kill the demons. Why do you hate me?"

"What's more, as a divine sword, you did not advise the gods, but instead aided and abetted the evil, which is a great sin. I did not destroy your spirit because it was not easy for you to obtain a spirit, and you were driven by the gods, so you might as well not be grateful for my kindness, but why do you still resent me——"

Actually, this statement is somewhat untenable. It is true that he killed the Demon God and acted in the name of justice, but the divine sword was nurtured and grown by the Demon God, and it witnessed its master being killed by him with his own eyes. Can't he even resent himself?
The next sentence is even more problematic, but in order to subdue this divine sword, some means are naturally needed.

Iori Tadamichi, who was standing by, naturally heard that there was something wrong with what he said, but he didn't say anything. He just glanced at Higashino Yu and smiled.

Foxes are supposed to be eloquent, cunning and treacherous. Dong Yeyu thought to himself, his mind as clear as a mirror.

At this moment, the black sword rose into the air, and a childish voice sounded: "It's the Greedy Sword. You want to take me for yourself and not kill me, right?"

Iori Tadamichi was surprised. It was indeed a magic sword. It could even speak?
"Tsk, ordinary and confident." Dong Ye Yu smiled and stretched out his hand.

The well-maintained and cared for Chengming Ichimonji Changguang, which was quietly lying in the brocade sword box, suddenly trembled and then flew out of Dongye Yu's bedroom.

In just a moment, it fell into Dong Ye Yu's hands.

Be alert and don't lose face.

Dong Yeyu said to his beloved sword silently in his heart, "clang!" He drew out the sword blade, the blade was shining like silver, and the cold light was shining.

As if sensing the presence of the divine sword, Chengming Ichimonji Changguang was not willing to be outdone. The sword body vibrated at a high frequency, making a sharp metallic hum.

it is good!
It's not disgraceful, it's worthy of being the sword of the fox fairy Shi Yuyue.

Higashino Yu expressed his appreciation for the fact that Sumime Ichimonji Nagamitsu did not play dead to show weakness, but instead confronted him head-on.

After all, Chengming Ichimonji Nagamitsu is just beginning to develop spirituality and has no self-awareness yet. Facing the divine sword is like an unborn baby meeting a bad boy. It would be fine if he didn't keep silent, but he actually dared to commit treason. How dare he?

Dong Yeyu smiled, stroked the sword gently, and said while nurturing it with his magic power: "I have the Chengming Ichimonji Changguang to protect me. If I didn't pity you for your hard work and wanted you to help me eliminate demons and wash away your sins, I wouldn't bother to care about you." Hei Jian was stunned and laughed: "What kind of rotten copper and iron is yours? Do you think you are worthy of comparing with me?"

This sword has a bit of a mouth.
When Iori Tadamichi heard it belittling its own famous family heirloom sword, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. After all, he wiped the sword body every day and prayed to the gods to purify it, but in the end, all he got was this: ungrateful wolf sword.

"madness."

Dong Yeyu stared at the black sword as if he were a fool and shook his head: "Although Chengming Ichimonji Changguang is only beginning to develop spirituality, it has a special meaning to me because it started from humble beginnings with me. When I achieve enlightenment, it will also achieve enlightenment, which is far beyond the reach of your mere demon god sword."

Seeing that Higashino Yu valued his family's heirloom sword so much, Iori Tadamichi's expression improved and he nodded slightly. Yu was indeed a man who valued friendship and loyalty.

Then the shrine's trainee shrine maiden seemed to come. She was a very lively girl and was calling the old man's name at the foot of the shrine.

Iori Tadamichi vaguely knew that the demon-slayer community was trying its best to prevent mortals from coming into contact with these extraordinary things, so he said something to Higashino Yu, closed the temple door, and went to assign today's work to the trainee shrine maiden Moriyama Natsuki.

"Achieve enlightenment? With a fox demon like you? You don't know how high the heavens are or how deep the earth is."

The black sword taunted, saying that it already had spirituality and even self-awareness, and was already considered a spiritual treasure, so it knew that attaining enlightenment was not easy.

The fact that it can become a spiritual treasure is also thanks to the blessing of He Shenshu.

After all, what kind of good treasures and spiritual materials can Yu, a mountain god, have?

In her early years, Shu had an adventure in Shenzhou. She found a piece of spiritual iron full of Gengjin spiritual essence in a mountain forest that was hit by thunderstorms all year round. She brought it back to the island country and asked a master craftsman to forge it.

Later, it was worshipped by mortals day and night, and was used to slay demons and monsters. It usually absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon. It was not until now, after a thousand years, that it was promoted from a magic weapon to a spiritual treasure.

The fox demon in front of it kept talking about Taoism all the time, which really annoyed it.

"What's wrong with the fox demon? Your master is a bird demon." Dong Ye Yu said sarcastically.

"Be bold!"

The childish voice became furious upon hearing this, and the electric arcs wrapped around the sword began to riot, but it seemed to take into consideration that this was the place where Princess Inaho's life lay, so it stopped and restrained the electric arcs.

"This is the abode of the gods. We must not act rashly. You, the demon fox, dare you fight me outside?"

"Are you mentally ill?" Dong Yeyu was puzzled. "I killed even your master. How can you be qualified to challenge me to a fight?"

The black sword paused and remained silent for a moment, then simply fell back onto the rack, retracting its lightning and returning to normal.

"Go away, I won't help you."

"If you wish to reflect before the Emperor and decay gradually, it is up to you."

Higashino Yu himself doesn't really care about this sword. Without this sword, he can't slay demons and monsters?

It's funny. I have many means at my disposal. This sword is just a bonus. Of course it's good to have it. Thunder is extremely masculine and powerful. It can restrain the monsters in Dajiang Mountain. It will be much easier for me to get rid of the monsters.

But it doesn't affect anything.

When Dong Yeyu walked to the entrance of the temple, he thought for a moment and finally said, "I heard that the mountain gods of Hegui Mountain were originally a couple. The disappeared He God has a very good reputation among the people. He must be a gentle and kind god. Even if he chooses to disappear, he is unwilling to harm mortals."

"You are deeply indebted to the Crane God, but you and the previous Demon God ruined her reputation. If she were still alive, she would definitely hate you."

After saying that, Dong Ye Yu shook his head and left. The palace became quiet. Not far away, they could vaguely hear an old man and a very energetic woman talking. The sun was rising, bluebirds were singing, and the morning breeze was shaking the treetops, making a chant. The black long sword placed on the sword rack in front of the emperor was silent.

After leaving the main hall, Higashino Yu first returned to the Iori courtyard, briefly informed Sanae and Miko of the matter, and explained his idea of ​​visiting the Jinguji family.

Hearing about such a critical situation, the two girls looked serious.

"If Miss Hiiragi Kagami goes to Chiba, will Higashino Nissan go to look for her?" Miko thought for a moment and asked.

Dong Yeyu nodded: "Yes."

If things come to that point, I must save my wife.

Yu Zi's eyes, like those of a winter spring, fell on Dong Yeyu's face. She did not try to persuade him, but asked seriously, "Will there be any danger?"

Asumi Sanae also raised her head slightly, waiting for Higashino Yu's answer.

They are quite worried about the threat from Oeyama that Higashino Yushi has been exaggerating for a long time.

Dong Yeyu thought for a moment and smiled confidently: "I am sure."

"Then go ahead, help Miss Kagami Hiiragi, Nissan Tono." Miko smiled.

Asumi saw Sanae didn't say anything, she was as cold and aloof as a queen on the throne, even when she saw the knights who were about to go to the battle, she just watched them go.

However, Dongye Yu still saw some worry in their expressions, and smiled and comforted them: "Don't worry, I have magic weapons to protect myself, and I can also call on the gods for help. It's just a demon. Even Shuten Douji would have to kneel down and beg for mercy."

"If we hurry up, maybe we can get back in time for lunch."

"Then Miko will make Higashino Nissan's favorite tempura fried shrimp." Miko forced a smile.

Dong Yeyu touched Yu Zi's head and said, "Then I will look forward to it in advance!"

Then he looked at Asumi Sanae who lowered her brows and didn't make any statement, "I'm leaving."

She pursed her lips slightly and just nodded.

Higashino Yu said goodbye to them, left the study, went back to his room to organize the talismans and other things, put them into his backpack, put Chengming Ichimonji Nagamitsu into the sword bag, and prepared to go out.

When I opened the shoji door, I saw Asumi Sanae standing at the door with her hands behind her back.

"Anything else, my dear prince?"

"this is for you."

She held in her hand a fine sapphire ring with mysterious symbols and patterns on it, which was very gorgeous and beautiful.

"This is the proof of the contract between the Moon Witch and her promised partner. I was planning to give it to you later."

Miss Moon Witch put the jewel ring on the ring finger of Dongye Yu's left hand.

"Come back safely."
