Modern Onmyoji

Chapter 123: Heavenly Gui to Exorcise Evil
Master's method that time, sprinkling blood as a sacrifice was a way to lift the curse.That being the case, it is conceivable that the curse could be lifted by doing something to comfort the offended beast.I didn't say anything else when I thought about it, and immediately cut my palm with a knife, and followed Master's example and spilled three handfuls of blood on the ground.Then he piled them on the ground and worshiped the blood again and again.The moment before I raised my head, I sincerely prayed that I could see those lynxes leave, but the reality is sometimes so cruel. When I raised my head again, those lynxes were still watching us not far away.

"Is the direction wrong? Or are we coming too?" Anya asked tentatively.

"Uh, maybe. The four of us worshiped in the southeast and northwest directions respectively. There must be one direction that is correct." When I said this, I was not sure. Bird worship.So now it is the lynx that is besieging us, shouldn't we find a very special lynx?However, these lynxes were hidden very deeply, and I couldn't see which one was special.Right now, I can only try this method.

Immediately, Anya, Slater, and Claude also followed my example, knelt on the ground and kowtowed in several other directions.After worship, we looked up expectantly.But Lynx still did not leave as expected.Still looking at us with the kind of eyes that guard the prey.My heart suddenly turned cold, and the faces of the others turned pale.

"Could it be a blood sacrifice?" Anya asked me nervously, "Didn't your master meet a crow that time? Now it's a lynx. You should change to a priest method."

"Uh, that's true. But what should I change?" I also said helplessly, feeling extremely regretful in my heart, why didn't I know to get to the bottom of it and ask Master about this matter.It's true that when the book is used, there will be less hate!
"Think about it, what is the relationship between crows and blood? Can this relationship be applied to lynxes?" Anya asked me anxiously, because at this moment, several lynxes could be seen poking out from the shadow of the trees .Those wild cat-like eyes carry a palpitating evilness, and they seem to be able to suck away people's souls just by looking at them.Their movements were like a signal, and the lynx that had been hiding all this time appeared.The encirclement became more and more obvious, and invisible pressure enveloped the four of us.Although they still have no intention of launching an attack.

What is it that makes them afraid, my mind is thinking quickly.Although they surrounded us before, as long as there is no attack, there is no real threat.But now what is the opportunity to make them no longer accept Chennai?Could it be that some deterrent to them in me was weakening?My God, if this is the case, it is only a matter of time before we are cut to pieces by wild beasts!

Thinking of this, I subconsciously touched my body.I want to see if Master secretly stuffed me with some self-defense treasure before leaving.But I checked it all over and found nothing special.But suddenly I thought of one thing, whether this thing will no longer be on me.Maybe this thing is on Anya and the others.So it can be explained in this way.After all, it is the four of us who have not been attacked by wild beasts.But if this is the case, how can it explain why only I am not affected by the curse.

Maybe two things!There is something about me that makes me immune to the curse here.And what can deter the beast is another thing in Anya and the others.Such an explanation is reasonable. Thinking of this, I hastily told the three of them my thoughts.

"The four of us walk in four directions first, and see which direction the lynx responds to!" I said, and several people immediately walked in four directions in unison.Afterwards, I could clearly see that the lynx in Anya's direction had obvious fluctuations.The other two people also noticed this, and they all moved closer to Anya at once.At this moment, Anya has become like a talisman.

"Anya, let's see what is working on you. The effect of that thing is weakening. Let's see if we can do anything to slow down this change." I said hastily.

When Anya heard this, she hurriedly turned out all her pockets, including the small bag and a jewelry box.I was a little ashamed looking at the things on the floor, thinking that foreigners can really bring things when they come out.There are not only cables, compressed biscuits, batteries and other adventurous equipment on the ground, but also cosmetics, small mirrors, diaries, and even sanitary napkins!I looked at the bits and pieces all over the place, and there was basically nothing too special.

At this time, Slater suddenly opened his mouth and spoke a lot of English, and saw that the expression on Claude's face became very strange.And Anya blushed even more.Damn, don't speak foreign languages ​​at such a critical time, okay, bully me for not going to school! "Anya, what did he say?" I asked hastily.

"He—he said—he had heard of it. There is a saying in China—that a woman's menstruation can ward off evil spirits." Anya said with a blushing face. I was stunned when I heard this.The first reaction turned out to be that Slater knows China well!Since ancient times, China has indeed said that Tiangui wards off evil spirits.But this kind of saying is very rare, and even my master didn't know that there was such a saying.I heard my uncle say it before.Slater is able to understand this, as a foreigner, he is already very powerful.

But I immediately shook my head, now is not the time to feel so powerful.To be honest, I don't know if this kind of thing is useful or not.After all, I haven't tried it, and neither has the master--my uncle doesn't know if I have tried it, but there is no other way at the moment, and I can only use dead horse as a living horse doctor.Thinking of this, I had to nod to Anya in embarrassment and said, "Well, there is actually such a saying in China. I can only try it now."

Slater seemed to understand that I was supporting his remarks, and he said a lot more proudly.In the end, the eyes of the three of us all fell on Anya, and Anya blushed all the way to the base of her neck.I wanted to say something but I couldn't say it, and finally said falteringly, "I don't have one."

"Ah?" I was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand the meaning of Anya's words for a while.In fact, it was impossible for children at that time to understand such physiological and hygienic things as women's menstruation.However, what I learned from my master was not only Feng Shui, but also history, geography, and medicine.So I can still understand that women bleed after a certain age.But in my understanding, that should be possible at any time.Just like urinating, sometimes there may be no desire to urinate, but you can still squeeze out a little if you need it-menstruation should be what you want, and you can get some out anyway.

"Oh, what time is this, you can't squeeze out some." I said heartlessly, Anya's face turned redder, and he said falteringly, "That kind of thing can't be made casually." It came out. I just--just came here a few days ago, how can I have it now."

"That's why I asked you to try to hold back some." I said without thinking.

"You—" Anya looked at me and didn't know what to say for a moment. In fact, I was only a half-grown child at that time.She really didn't know how to supplement the knowledge of physical hygiene to the little kid in front of her in such an emergency situation.In the end, I just yelled at me angrily, "What do you know, you little kid! It's all said and done! If there is nothing, there is nothing! There are so many nonsense!"

I was taken aback by her unreasonable anger, and felt a little baffled.But I realized something right away. Although I don't know what she said, I still understand the superficial meaning.It's just that she doesn't have this thing now, that is to say, it's not the deterrent effect this thing has on the lynx.In this case, there must be something else protecting us invisible.
