I’m a Witch In Dongying

"..."

Asakura Rie smiled silently.

The old monk didn't wait for her to answer. After dropping this sentence, he left in a hurry.

Until this time, Rie Asakura lowered her eyes slightly, her clear eyes just like Gujing Bubo:

"Sure enough, did you see the clues at Kiyomizu Temple.

But... Hundred Eyes? If it was the kind of monster that the Baishui family had forged in the first place, then I would understand why the great-grandfather back then would have seen such a tragic scene on Glauber Mountain..."

Although Luo Lei Valley is remote, it is located between Kyoto and Fukuchiyama City after all. It is not an isolated paradise.

The movement of the night of the rainstorm did not hide it from everyone.

From the second day after the valley incident ended, some posts appeared on the Internet one after another.

Someone claimed to be an astronomy enthusiast living in the area of ​​Fukuchiyama City. When shooting astronomical scenes in the rain on the top of the mountain, they saw the scene of "a big bird burning with a blue phosphorous fire flying by in the night sky", and wrote in the post Posted a photo in.

Some people say that they climbed to the top of the building on a rainy night, and saw a scene of thousands of thunderstorms in the sky above Luolei Valley, which is suspected to be the scene of immortals crossing the catastrophe in Chinese legends.

Others said that a relative who works in the police station in his family revealed to him that an extremely serious car accident occurred on the outskirts of Kyoto last night, killing more than a dozen people.

Although the platforms for each post are different, it is inevitable that some people will be discussing it if they appear in a concentrated manner within the same period of time.

But soon.

The official of Kyoto City came forward to refute the rumors and announced the preliminary findings of the "meteorite falling into the valley and causing a forest fire" at a press conference——

The “big bird that burns phosphorous fire all over the body” that is widely circulated on the Internet is actually a “meteorite”.

On the night of the rainstorm night, this meteorite fell from the sky and fell into the thunder valley.

Then it happened to be chopped down by the lightning that appeared densely in the sky, igniting the vegetation in the valley, forming a fire that spread to the entire valley.

A family surnamed Hojo was accidentally struck by lightning above Luolei Valley on the way to "ride a car to visit relatives and friends." As a result, a series of car accidents occurred and more than a dozen people were killed as a result. After the entire incident, the Kyoto police have intervened to deal with it, and blocked the Luo Lei Valley, and imposed traffic control on nearby roads.

Such an official announcement cannot explain all the doubts.

After all, it was originally fake...

Because the video of Qingluhuo was filmed in a rainstorm, the quality of the picture is very blurry. As long as there is no ignorant astronomer who jumps out and slaps the face, it can barely deceive it as a "meteorite".

But the Hojo family of about ten or twenty people went out to visit relatives in the downpour...anyone with a bit of a brain can see that it's abnormal.

Is it to meet the long-lost grandfather that so many people travel together in the night when visibility is so low in heavy rain?

But even if they have doubts, most people think of "gang vendetta", "racing cars", and "rush". As for "fighting with monsters", it has exceeded the limit of ordinary human imagination, and people who think more actively Can't think of it.

Therefore, it is enough to use this report to perfuse the vast majority of people who don't know the truth.

As for the few people who are curious and want to explore them at close range, they will also find that the entire Luolei Valley and the road around the foot of the mountain are blocked by the police, and no one is allowed to enter privately. As long as this period of time has passed and the "mountain fire" news has passed, this matter will naturally calm down. At most, it will be mentioned after dinner and included in the list of "Kyoto x Big Unbelievable Strange Tale".

at the same time.

On the second day after the rainy night, the Kyoto countermeasures team quickly dispatched to seal up the Hojo family and arrested all the remaining Hojo people.

Some of these guys also participated in the conspiracy of the Hojo family and the ghost family, but were left to visit the house during the operation, and some were completely unaware of the peripheral and collateral tribes, but at this time, they can only insist that they should not kill by mistake. The principle of letting go was taken back closely by the countermeasure team to take care of them, and the details of the cooperation with the ghost clan were interrogated one by one.

But these conditions have nothing to do with Bai Shuiqiu.

While the Kyoto countermeasures team is busy investigating the Hojo family, she is preparing to accept an interview from the local media in Kyoto.

This kind of interview will appear after the annual IH competition, and it is not only archery, but also sports such as kendo, basketball, and baseball. There are also differences.

The matters related to these interviews were all prepared by Director Aoyama.

According to the director, most of the media who tried to interview Bai Shuiqiu were dealt with by him and Jiufeng Ziyuan. The last few remaining companies were screened and evaluated in terms of popularity, performance capability, and company reputation. There are media with outstanding performance in other aspects.

The interview site was in a lobby in the hotel. For this reason, Director Qingshan rented it directly and began to arrange the venue one day in advance.

Of course, the rental money is reimbursed by the school...

What Bai Shuiqiu has to do is to prepare psychologically in advance before the interview begins, and then make a draft. Anyway, the content of this type of interview is similar, some questions will be asked, and answers are prepared in advance. Don’t get half-talked, and it’s embarrassing to be cold.

Be busy.

At nine o'clock in the morning, a reporter from the "Kyoto Sports Daily" appeared in the hotel on time, and after greeted Director Aoyama and others, he officially entered the interview session.

Bai Shuiqiu has experienced this kind of thing for the first time.

Even if I did some psychological construction in advance, but the situation is really right, I still feel a little nervous.

Fortunately, these reporters are all experienced veterans. Starting from the greetings, they helped her to ease the tension a little bit, and then cut to the topic.

From the usual training and competitions, to talking about school life, to planning for the future, whether to join the Kyudo Club, personal dietary preferences, mate selection, and even performances at cultural festivals, etc... …

All kinds of questions came out of these reporters. Bai Shuiqiu chose some easy answers to give answers. When he encountered those that were really difficult to respond, he just made an excuse to be vague.

She is still a high school student and a minor now.

So even if the words were vague, the reporter didn't get to the bottom.

During the whole process, the fat uncle who was in charge of the camera stood by and dutifully took the footage of this interview, ready to wait to go back to edit.

In the end, Bai Shuiqiu, at the request of these reporters, made a few gestures and took a few photos of life, saying that he was going to use it as a propaganda picture in the newspaper.

After such an interview, two hours have passed. Bai Shuiqiu said that his mouth was dry and his body was slightly sweaty.

It wasn't until the fat uncle moved the camera away that she breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously wiped the fine sweat from her forehead.

"Is it finally over..."

Seeing Bai Shuiqiu's relieved expression, the female reporter on the opposite side smiled slightly and handed over the juice drink from the table:

"Truly, Baishui, we have been chatting with us for so long. I did not expect that you, known as the lonely genius, have such a lovely side in life. The effect of this interview is very good, and it will surely arouse a positive response in the city. of."

"I hope so."

Bai Shuiqiu agreed with a smile, and pursed his lips: "By the way, this title seems to be the editor of your newspaper...Is it?"

"Um...because you have always been indifferent in the previous few matches, and you have hardly communicated with other players, even at the moment of winning the championship, there is not much emotional fluctuation, so we I thought you were a very cold girl.

Now I know that the real person is an approachable and lovely female high school student. It seems that this is just a beautiful misunderstanding. "

The female reporter said haha, "After we go back this time, we will tell you a more appropriate title."

"..."

Bai Shuiqiu rolled his eyes, a little speechless.

Do you dare to feel that these reporters thought she was dissatisfied with her title?

However, the title of Secondary Two is regarded as Dongying's traditional performance. Even if she tactfully raises objections, it is probably useless. Bai Shuiqiu wanted to see what other reporters could make up for himself besides "A beautiful girl in the archery field once in a thousand years in Chiba Prefecture", "Narita High School Supernova", and "Lonely Genius"...

After confirming that there was no problem with the photo, the uncle in charge of the camera began to pack his things and put the camera and interview props back into the bag one by one.

The female reporter took advantage of this opportunity, moved her body forward a bit, handed a business card over, and blinked quietly: "Student Baishui, this is my business card. I hope I can have a chance to cooperate again in the future... …By the way, I heard that this is your first visit to Kyoto. I wonder if you have visited any well-known scenic spots?"

"this……"

"If you don't have a goal, I recommend Fushimi Inari Shrine. This season is when the scenery of Inari Shrine is the best. If you don't take a look, your trip to Kyoto will leave you with a lot of regrets."

"Ok?"

Bai Shuiqiu was startled.

She did plan to spend one to two days in this ancient capital before leaving Kyoto, provided that the incident in the Luo Lei Valley came to an end. And Fushimi Inari Shrine, as one of the famous scenic spots in Kyoto, is also on her list of candidates.

Can……

What does this female reporter mean when he specifically mentioned the name of Fushimi Taisha?

Seeing Bai Shuiqiu's slightly puzzled expression, the female reporter didn't explain much, she smiled, turned around, and left the hotel with a few colleagues.

After lunch, it was the second interview initiated by a reporter from the "Kansai Shimbun".

There is nothing to say about the interview process, it is basically a repeat of the morning.

Bai Shuiqiu can be regarded as a bit of experience. Although he still couldn't answer well, he was much calmer than his first performance. In less than an hour, he answered the questions prepared by the reporter.

When the interview was about to end, the male reporter who was in charge of asking Bai Shuiqiu's question also seemed to be a choreographer, casually mentioning the customs of Kyoto.

"I don't know if Ms. Shirasui came to Kyoto to participate in the competition this time. Have you ever seen it at Kiyomizu Temple?"

"The tea art at Kiyomizu Temple is famous in Kyoto, especially the white dicing tea brewed by Master Tianyuan himself. It is made from fresh white dicing leaves in summer, supplemented by clear spring water from Otowa Falls. The tea art is only held in July and August every year. Before and after the ceremony, they will only appear in the temple, and they will make up to three cups a day. Only those who are favored by Master Tianyuan can be invited to the room for a tasting.

Many tourists come from all over Dongying just to enjoy such a cup of tea.

If a talented genius like Shirasui appeared in Kiyomizu Temple, I think Master Tianyuan would be greatly appreciated by you and offered a cup of tea in person. "

"Yes……"

Bai Shuiqiu scratched his head, feeling a little strange in his heart.

First, Fushimi Taisha...

Now it's Kiyomizu Temple again...

Are the reporters in Kyoto so enthusiastic? When doing interviews one by one, they don't forget to attract the popularity of the tourist attractions in front of their homes? Isn’t it the fact that this shrine and temple has spent money to put advertisements in these local media, similar to the kind sponsored by the **** brand on the TV station?

Although it is very difficult to understand, Bai Shuiqiu smiled and nodded out of courtesy: "Thank you for the recommendation of Uncle Miura. I will check it out if I have a chance."

"That's great."

Ten minutes later.

After finishing packing Miura and his party bowed and greeted them, they also left the hotel one after another.

Director Qingshan took two male teachers to help clean up the hall, while Bai Shuiqiu stood up from the sofa, stretched a few times on the spot, stretched his waist again, and relaxed his body comfortably. .

After the two interviews, I was still a little tired, and my shoulders were a little sore.

"Ah."

Jiufeng Shion’s laughter suddenly came from behind, causing Bai Shuiqiu to subconsciously cast his sights: "These practitioners in Kyoto would actually think of using this method to test you. It’s really interesting..."

"what?"

Kyoto...a practitioner?

Bai Shuiqiu didn’t understand it for a while, and he was taken aback for a while before suddenly widening his eyes: "Teacher Shion, you mean... the two reporters who recommended tourist attractions to me just now were actually sent by the Kyoto practitioners. That is, Fushimi Inari Shrine... and Kiyomizu Temple? The shrines and temples in Kyoto have penetrated the society of ordinary people to such an extent?"

Facing Bai Shuiqiu's inquiry, Jiufeng Ziyuan did not respond positively, but moved his neck:

"It’s hard to talk about impermeability. Almost all of the shrines and temples that have survived in this thousand-year-old capital have a history of more than hundreds of years, and many of them were even established in the Heian period and have been passed down for so many generations. , With branches and leaves scattered, the population that reproduces can be a few hundred, if you count the collateral and divisions, the number will be even greater.

And these people may not all be engaged in the priesthood, and there are not so many positions for priests to provide them, so they often merge into the world and hold various positions of ordinary people.

The female reporter of the "Kyoto Sports Daily" is called Mochizuki Shizuka, and "Mochizuki" is the family name of Fushimi Taisha. This woman has no traces of spiritual power on her body, I am afraid she is from a thin bloodline. .

As for the male reporter surnamed Miura, it should also have something to do with Kiyomizu Temple, but most of the monks at Kiyomizu Temple use the monks, so I don't know if any of his family members have been monks. "

"That……"

Bai Shuiqiu opened his mouth, and recollected afterwards.

No wonder she thought it was weird just now.

It turns out that these two reporters came with purpose. If it weren't for the old monster's reminder, she would have never figured out that such a relationship is hidden behind the two interviews.

"Then what do they mean by what they said last?"

Is it a mere invitation or a well-designed trap?

This time, Jiufeng Ziyuan also lowered his head and thought for a while before slowly speaking in response:

"Fushimi Taisha and Kiyomizu Temple are both famous gates in Kyoto. Among them, the founder of the latter is also a monk who sent Tang under the tutelage of Master Xuanzang. If I want to see you, I will cover it up by the way. If there is anything that requires your cooperation in the future, it is also convenient to speak...

If you let me say, I think you can accept their invitation.

For one thing, your existence is an uncertain factor for the Kyoto spiritual community. Contacting more powers is also a goodwill signal to Kyoto, so as not to cause misunderstandings due to poor communication.

Secondly, this shrine and one temple are large shrines with a long history. They have a rich network and heritage in the Kansai region and the entire Dongying. Having a good relationship with them will increase a lot of convenience in doing things here in the future.

No matter how strong an individual is, there is ultimately a limit. Reasonably borrowing help from others can avoid some unnecessary risks, just like Shirashui Sana back then..."

Hearing this name, Bai Shuiqiu's eyes changed slightly.

She actually thought about this issue too.
