Modern Onmyoji

Chapter 122 Besieged
For a moment, I felt baffled by Master's inexplicable instructions, the team's inexplicable distress, and Anya's inexplicable persistence.It may seem like a coincidence, but my gut tells me something is definitely going on.I feel that something in the dark is pushing all this to happen, some kind of opportunity is activated, and the whole fate is inexplicable in exchange.It was a feeling of being shrouded by some mysterious existence, just like the haze above the head.He didn't do you any harm, but it made you extremely uncomfortable.

For a moment, I thought about leaving them alone.Just turn around and leave.But I feel that this is an escape from the fate that hangs over my head.Now that you have this feeling, choosing to ignore it is just a cowardly escape.Something in my heart was ignited, and I felt an indescribable excitement for no reason.I have been stubborn since I was a child, and I clearly felt this danger, but an unstoppable urge to try it surged up.There are all signs that something is going on.Master also said to let me leave a mark, and he will follow in a few days.I know very well that although Master looks like an old lunatic, he is actually very shrewd.He will not aim at nothing, the reason for him to come up in person must be a very important reason.

That being the case, I will simply give it a go.I want to see what happened on this mountain!
"It's not impossible." Thinking of this, I said, "Theoretically, as long as you crack this Qimen Dunjia, your curse will naturally be lifted."

"Then how to crack it?" Anya asked hastily.

"I still need to do more research on this. But I must first tell you that the Qimen Dunjia here is not ordinary. Even if we find a way to crack it, it must be very difficult. It is very likely that the situation that is still considered safe now will be completely destroyed. Crash, you are sure to persist.

Anya and the others nodded, and since that's the case, I won't say any more.He started to deduce this Qimen Dunjia on his own.With deduction, I gradually unveiled the mysterious veil of this Qimen Dunjia.I have to once again lament the uncanny craftsmanship of nature.The entire Qimen Dunjia is completely natural, and it is in harmony with nature.It is completely formed by vegetation and forests.There is no trace of artificial construction.The growth of plants seems to be planned, everything here is pressed into the template.Everything is everything, and their growth and reproduction are carried out under this template.

But seeing this, I was surprised to find one thing.Qimen Dunjia is made up of the environment here, and the environment changes all the time.It can be said that this Qimen Dunjia was finally formed after an unknown number of years.But on the other hand, it's like a ticking time bomb.In the previous hundreds, or even thousands of years, the environment here was not threatened.However, the Qimen Dunjia was formed quietly, and it is estimated that at some time in the future, all the environments will grow to meet its requirements.At that time, the entire Qimen Dunjia will be activated. The so-called bird hunting alarmed the tomb guarding beast is only one of the reasons. As long as we come here at this time, we will definitely fall into this Qimen Dunjia.This is a ticking time bomb that has been ticking for thousands of years.

Then think of what Master said that night, and what Anya and the others said about the lack of time.It is easy to associate together.Could it be that Anya, the others, and the master knew that there would be such a change in Heiguishan at this time.What is brewing behind this change?And who arranged this bureau?Is that the beast king?What is the purpose of arranging this game and letting it start after a thousand years?I just feel like I'm in a fog that almost drives me crazy.

I shook my head to get rid of all the messy thoughts in my head.After thinking about it, I still have to break this Qimen Dunjia as soon as possible.If it's a normal situation, I'll just take them out through the life gate.But now Anya and the others were cursed.If you want to completely eliminate it, you must completely crack this Qimen Dunjia.After thousands of years of arrangement, it sounds really difficult for me to crack it in a flash.I just squatted there and deduced it for five or six hours, until the sun went down and it got dark, and I didn't have any clue.

Anya was already a little anxious, she felt that I was delaying time on purpose.And told me that if there is no substantive development tomorrow, they must go hard.After resting at night, there were only four people left in the empty camp, and the atmosphere was a bit weird.Knowing that there were man-eating beasts nearby, Anya and the others slept with their guns in their arms.Since I was not affected and had the best physical strength, I was in charge of the night watch.The cool evening wind blowing on my body made me sleepless, and I kept thinking about Qimen Dunjia in my mind.

Finally, I suddenly thought of a question that we have ignored-why we were not attacked.It has been eight or nine hours since the accident happened.The beasts hiding in the dark have no reason not to attack us.Although we are still relatively capable of action, the disadvantage in numbers is also obvious.It should be easy to kill us.There must be a demon for no reason, and then there is another question-why I am not cursed.

At that time, I didn't realize that I ate Master's blood Ganoderma lucidum, so I was immune to all poisons.But one thing is certain, I am much more resistant to this than theirs.In the same way, when the first accident happened, everyone was cursed and had altitude sickness, but I didn't; the second time most people were attacked by wild beasts, but the team I led didn't.The combination of the two is not difficult to guess, I actually have a protective effect - more precisely, I have a certain defense mechanism in my body, which can protect me from harm, and at the same time have a certain ability to protect me. people.

In this case, I suddenly made up a picture in my brain.In fact, as soon as our team entered the mountain, there were all kinds of mountain monsters and ghosts following around.With me as the center, countless dangers gather around.And it's quite possible that right now, they're all hidden in the nearby darkness that we can't see.Waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the defense mechanism on my body to stop, then the creatures in the darkness will rush up and rush over directly.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help shivering.The way he looked around changed a bit.I took a deep breath, held my breath and began to look around.The quiet mountain forest suddenly became noisy, the rustling of leaves sliding, the sound of the night wind blowing, the sound of tiny insects crawling, and that—in the dark depths not far away—slight and almost inaudible small voice.It seems to be the sound of teeth chattering, and it is also like the friction sound of sliding fur.

I looked up subconsciously, and suddenly saw a figure flashing away from the source of the sound.Then with the faint light of the fire, I suddenly found that it was a lynx hiding in the shadow of the tree.He was less than ten meters away from us.If it attacks violently at this distance, I can guarantee that none of us will survive.All of a sudden, a layer of cold sweat broke out all over my body, but the lynx didn't attack, but turned around and disappeared into the darkness on the other side as if trying to avoid me.

I began to look around carefully again, and gradually the cold sweat almost drenched my clothes. Surrounding us, there were countless lynxes watching.Although they will leave immediately once they realize that I have found them.But it is obvious that they have formed a siege.Although I don't know what they are afraid of, but I know that if they decide to attack, we will definitely die.I can't delay any longer, I must quickly think of a solution to the curse, and I must leave here immediately!

I couldn't sleep that night. The danger around me and the anxiety in my heart made it impossible for me to sleep at all.The torment of the night made me think of a way.The next day, Anya and the others were in even worse condition. I first told them what I found last night, and then told them a method I thought of——My method is very simple, inspired by the time when Master sprinkled Blood cracked the matter of the crows.In a sense, it should be a kind of sacrifice.
