Hong Xia was still thinking about the sludge monster from last night. After chatting for a while, she got straight to the point:

"Ms. Mochizuki, could you please introduce me to the old lady we met yesterday? I have some questions for you."

"Are you talking about Chiyo-chan?"

Mochizuki Ayako held the broom in her arms and hesitated. "My grandmother rarely sees outsiders nowadays. If you don't mind, maybe you could tell me about your troubles?"

Is it ok?

Hong Xia first looked at Bai Li to ask for his opinion. Seeing the latter nod, she made up her mind and told him what happened in the hot spring pool last night.

At first, Ayako Mochizuki was able to keep smiling, like a nun in the confessional listening to the confessions of believers.

But after hearing "a monster that looks like mud", her smile gradually disappeared and her expression became noticeably more serious.

It seems that I have come to the right place today.

Seeing that Mochizuki Ayako clearly looked like someone who knew something, Ryo was the first one to lose his composure and asked doubtfully:

"Ms. Mochizuki, you... seem to know the origins of those sludge monsters?"

Facing her slightly scrutinizing gaze, Mochizuki Ayako was not angry, but just nodded slightly.

"I do know something about the sludge monster you're talking about."

"However, their names are not called mud monsters, but——"

"The evil spirit."

Chapter 74 Cong Yu Wan

Sui means ghosts and gods.

There is a word called "huo sui", which refers to the disaster caused by ghosts and gods.

Mochizuki Ayako frowned slightly. There was indeed a demon haunting Hoori Town. One of the shrine's duties was to eliminate the demon and protect Hoori's safety, but...

"This is the first time a demon has attacked tourists in a small town..."

In previous years, the place where the evil spirit appeared was a deep mountain not far from Suizhi Town, and it only appeared late at night. Even if ordinary people went up the mountain during the day, they would not encounter any danger.

Now the evil spirits actually appear in the town and openly attack tourists. This is a very bad sign, indicating that their arrogance is becoming more and more arrogant.

Besides being worried, Ayako Mochizuki also felt a little strange.

The evil spirits are extremely powerful, and their tentacles are like sharp steel whips, which can easily break a tree as thick as a person's embrace. Even professionally trained fighters would find it difficult to escape unscathed when facing them.

However, Hongxia and his group were unharmed and were even able to visit the shrine early in the morning.

Could it be that the evil spirit actually has no ill intentions?

When I asked this question, I received a nonchalant response.

"You said they were all killed by me."

Mochizuki Ayako: “?”

Even a professional witch like her who has been trained in exorcism since childhood needs to be cautious if she wants to kill the evil spirit.

What's with this relaxed, "I had two boiled eggs this morning" tone?

Bai Li showed two irregular rectangular lenses, which were the relics of the two evil spirits last night, and the facts spoke for themselves.

After seeing these crystals, Ayako Mochizuki no longer had any doubts.

I thought he was just a rare and beautiful young man, but in fact he was a powerful exorcist who was hiding his true identity...

She shook her head, stopped thinking about it, and said seriously:

"This matter is indeed beyond my scope of handling. Please follow me. Granny Chiyo will answer all your questions one by one."

After twisting and turning in the huge shrine and passing through several wooden corridors, they soon arrived at a remote hall.

This is obviously a relatively private place, with signs prohibiting tourists from entering posted around it. Golden shimeji ropes can be seen everywhere, and there are two solemn and majestic Komainu statues in front of the hall, standing on the left and right like guardian gods.

The palace door was tightly closed at this moment. Mochizuki Ayako took a few steps forward and knocked on the door.

After a moment, the heavy vermilion door slowly opened, revealing the furnishings inside.

The overall decoration is very simple, even a little empty. Apart from the dog god statue in the center of the entire hall, the most conspicuous thing is a huge stone surrounded by a fence.

In the center of the stone, there is an unremarkable sword inserted, emitting rich spiritual power.

Grandma Chiyo, who had warned Xiuliang yesterday to respect the gods, was also there, kneeling on the mat in front of the Inugami statue and praying.

Mochizuki Ayako briefly recounted what happened last night. Chiyo's expression became very serious. She sighed deeply and bowed slightly to Baili and the others.

"It is the Wangyue family's fault for frightening these distinguished guests. I deeply apologize."

"Mother-in-law is too polite..."

Seeing an elderly woman in her sixties bowing so low, Hong Xia felt a little embarrassed and quickly helped her up.

Yumiko, however, looked at the katana stuck in the boulder not far away with great interest and asked curiously:

"Does this knife have any special origin?"

"That is the sacred sword that has been worshipped by the Mochizuki Shrine for generations. It is called Murasamemaru."

It was Mochizuki Ayako who spoke. This miko had no intention of hiding anything. "Once upon a time, Inugami-sama returned and, after helping the then-head of the Mochizuki family repel the enemy, he exhausted all his strength and completely perished, leaving behind only this divine sword with which he could slay the enemy."

"After the shrine was built, this sacred sword became the most precious treasure passed down through generations of the Mochizuki family, and is worshipped day and night."

It was also thanks to the divine sword that the later members of the Mochizuki tribe were able to possess the power to fight against the evil gods and strive to maintain peace in Suizhi Town.

"So why is it stuck in the stone?"

Xiduo was also eager to try, "Are you cosplaying the Excalibur? Can I pull it out and see?"

"About this point... I'm not very clear either."

Mochizuki Ayako shook her head and added, "It is possible to pull it out, but the divine sword has a spirit. Only a master recognized by it can pull it out. So far, no one has been able to do it. If Miss Kita is willing, you can try."

In fact, outsiders were not allowed to touch the divine sword. Only people from the Mochizuki family were qualified to try to draw the sword.

But since the other party has already come into contact with the evil spirit and has the power to destroy it, some principles can be relaxed appropriately.

Kita was very interested in this kind of thing, and even Nijigasaki came to join in the fun.

Several girls tried it all, but without exception, even if they used all their strength and their little faces turned red, the Cong Yuwan inserted in the crevice of the stone remained motionless. It was as thin as a piece of paper, but it seemed to be as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Mochizuki Ayako was not surprised by this result. Over the past few hundred years, at least a thousand members of the Mochizuki family had tried to draw their swords, but none of them could move them even a little bit, including herself.

However... her eyes accidentally glanced at a certain handsome boy who had not moved so far, and Mochizuki Ayako's heart inexplicably moved, and she invited:

"If Bailijun is interested...why not give it a try?"

"That's right!"

Xiduo also cheered on the side, "Since we're here now, it's free to pull it out, Baili classmate should come and try it too!"

"Then I'll give it a try."

Bai Li thought about it and didn't refuse.

Cong Yuwan contained a lot of spiritual energy, which was nothing to him, but compared to the spiritual energy reserves of Mochizuki Ayako and Mochizuki Chiyo, it was like the Yangtze River compared to a shallow stream.

In this Dharma-Ending Age when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is scarce, such a genuine extraordinary weapon can indeed arouse his interest.

Walking to the boulder, feeling the nervous and expectant gazes of others, Bai Li stretched out a slender jade-like hand and slowly grasped the hilt of the knife.

next moment.

Clang!

The clear sound of swords clashing rang out, like the roar of a dragon.

Looking at Cong Yuwan whose blade was trembling slightly, Bai Li slowly asked a question.

"?"

I haven't even started pushing yet, how come you came out on your own?

Mochizuki Ayako was also a little confused.

This is... pulled out?

No, that's not right!

This can't even be considered drawing a sword, right?!

Cong Yuwan, the sacred sword worshipped by the Wangyue family for generations, just behaved more like a puppy that had been separated from its owner for a long time. The owner didn't even wave at it, but it came up to him happily.

Chiyo Mochizuki, who was watching this scene nearby, also had a complicated expression on his old face.

When she was young, she also had great ambitions. She wanted to draw out the magic sword and drive out all the evil spirits without leaving a single one alive.

However, the witch was interested, but the divine sword was ruthless, so Cong Yuwan ignored her.

Now, the divine sword was being drawn before her eyes, with an almost attentive attitude...

The old man covered his chest and suddenly felt a little breathless.

Chapter 75 Ye Gong likes cattle

"Amazing!"

Compared to Ayako Mochizuki and Chiyo Mochizuki, Kita's ideas are very simple.

The divine sword that no one else could pull out was easily pulled out by Baili. The girl's eyes lit up and she did not hesitate to express her admiration:

"As expected of Baili-san! He easily accomplished what we couldn't!"

Although Baili-san is indeed very amazing...but Kita-chan, the look of pride on your part is a bit exaggerated!

She's just like a little fangirl with no bottom line!

Although I don’t seem to have the right to complain about Xiduo like this... Thinking of some scenes from last night, Hongxia’s pretty face turned red.

Bai Li casually waved the Cong Yu Wan in his hand a few times and quickly made a judgment.

"It's a nice knife."

At least in this world.
