I Am a Heroic Spirit

Zhang Luo clearly noticed that after Abe Haruaki announced his decision, Yaobikuni's expression became softer.

Was this a test, really? This could be considered a sting operation, right? He was saying this after Abe Haruaki lost his memory.

"...I don't remember ever telling you my name." Abe Haruaki's tone betrayed a hint of caution, but he quickly let it go and exclaimed, "So that's how it is. You are indeed a fortune teller with extraordinary abilities."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Not only the eight hundred nuns were speechless, but Zhang Luo and Ashiya Doman also looked speechless.

Why do you think he's a diviner with extraordinary abilities? Just because his name was called out, didn't you ever consider that you might have known him before you lost your memory?

Could it be that after losing his memory, Abe Haruaki became a naive and innocent person?

"By the way, what was the relationship between Yaobikuni and Abe no Haruaki?"

Zhang Luo quietly asked Ashiya Doman, judging from the expressions of the eight hundred bhikkhunis, they indeed knew each other before.

"Well, it wasn't a pleasant experience." Seeing that the conversation at the shrine had been interrupted, and Zhang Luo wanted to know, he briefly explained it.

Over two hundred years ago, after consuming mermaid flesh, the nun Babai gained immortality. Perhaps it was a curse, but ever since then, she has lived by selling her body to men. For unknown reasons, she only sells her body to men without status or money, perhaps for spiritual reasons or some other reason. She sells her body for a pittance, sometimes for a single fish, sometimes for nothing. It's like she's taking something from a man and paying him back.

Although she will never age, the years will accumulate in her body, and she will soon turn into a demon because of the men's sperm in her body. The men's sperm will react with the years that cannot age in her body and combine with each other.

Not aging, not dying, meant there was no need to bear children. Therefore, the bodies of the eight hundred bhikkhunis were infertile. Having absorbed sperm that had been infertile for thirty years, these sperm combined with the ageless accumulation within their bodies, transforming them into evil snakes. If left untreated, the women themselves would eventually become demons.

Therefore, every thirty years, the evil snake must be removed from Yaobikuni's body. The most recent time was a year ago, and the one who removed the evil snake for Yaobikuni was none other than Abe no Haruaki's teacher, Kamo Tadayuki.

Yaobikuni and Abe Haruaki met at the ceremony of getting rid of the evil snake. The young and energetic Abe Haruaki had been studying Yin-Yang magic with Kamo Tadayuki at that time and had rarely been out, so he was full of blood and had a relationship with the beautiful Yaobikuni. However, they did not stay together forever. Yaobikuni left the next day. This should be their second meeting.

After listening to Ashiya Doman's commentary, Zhang Luo had only one thought, that is, it was so dirty, even dirtier than the dirty guest, and his rank was indeed far from enough.

"So, it's actually a good thing that people will die." Ashiya Doman commented on Yaobikuni's life, his tone sounding quite sad.

Chapter 177 The Temptation of Eight Hundred Bhikkhunis

Zhang Luo felt something in his heart. Although Ashiya Doman's words were a bit extreme, it was the fact. Things are born, grow, change and die; people grow old, get sick and die. This is the normal way of the operation of all things in the world. Those who go against the operation of the world will be punished.

Yaobikuni, who lived by selling her body, turned into a monster a thousand years later and wanted to destroy humanity. Kuro no Seimei, who also escaped death, Asakura Yoo. The one with the best ending was Asakura Yoo, but his intentions ultimately failed.

While Zhang Luo and Ashiya Doman were worrying about life and death, the conversation between the two people at the shrine began again.

"But in this case, it would be a shame for me to kill you." Abe Haruaki smiled like a white fox, trying to brush the matter off.

"Well - that's really troubling. It seems there is no way." The Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni smiled faintly and said nothing more.

Abe no Haruaki was a little worried that Yaobikuni would recall the incident and ask him to kill her, so he changed the subject and asked Yaobikuni, "Is the evil spirit emanating from this forest because of you?"

"I have a rough idea of ​​what this is about," Yaobikuni replied, then turned and walked towards the altar on the side of the shrine. As she walked, she said to Abe no Haruaki, "Come with me. I'll show you something interesting."

Abe Haruaki had noticed the altar long before, and seeing Yaobikuni leading the way, he quickly followed.

Zhang Luo and Ashiya Doman in the forest also adjusted their positions and moved towards the inside of the jungle.

The two stopped under the eaves of the shrine. Yaobikuni turned around and said to Abe no Haruaki, "This is the Phoenix Shrine."

Abe Haruaki's expression grew serious. Even though he had forgotten some things, he could still tell how dangerous the magic circle on the altar was. "...It looks like someone has cast a powerful spell here."

"I don't know who set up the magic circle here. Fortunately, it was interrupted while the spell was being cast." Yaobikuni nodded and said to Abe Haruaki.

"Luckily...?" Abe Haruaki frowned. After careful observation, he quickly discerned the special nature of the magic circle and its connection to the Phoenix Shrine. He said in a deep voice, "It's precisely because the spell was interrupted that the Yin Qi leaked out. The miasma that enveloped the entire forest originated from here."

"Just as you said, he is worthy of being the great Onmyoji Harume." Yaobikuni exclaimed.

At this time, the sound of crisp bells and light footsteps were heard. Abe Haruaki and Yaobikuni stopped their conversation and looked in the direction of the sound. Zhang Luo and Ashiya Doman also restrained their presence and spiritual power, hiding in the jungle and watching Xiaobai and Kagura pass by.

"Do you want to go out? Or continue watching the show."

"That's not necessary. Master Bai Zang doesn't know the Eight Hundred Bhikkhunis."

After a brief exchange, Zhang Luo and Ashiya Doman decided to continue hiding in the jungle and watching the show. Yaobikuni seemed to want to tease Abe Haruaki, so the two of them should not go out and make trouble.

Seeing Abe Haruaki's figure, Xiaobai shouted excitedly: "Here, here, Master Haruaki is here! Master Haruaki is too much for not letting Xiaobai come with him!"

Seeing that Abe no Haruaki was alright, Kagura breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she looked around and noticed Yaobikuni standing beside Abe no Haruaki with a smile on her face. She asked with an inexplicable sense of vigilance, "...Who is this?"

"I am Yaobikuni, and Mr. Qingming has promised to end my life with his own hands." Yaobikuni was also looking at Kagura, with a sly smile on her face, and she deliberately said words with ambiguous meanings.

"...What's going on?" Kagura took a step back, her eyes wide open, and asked Abe Haruaki in disbelief, as if she was frightened.

Xiaobai exclaimed in amazement, complimenting Abe Haruaki: "As expected of you, Lord Haruaki, you truly are a female killer!"

"...I don't remember ever promising you such a thing." Abe Haruaki wanted to explain, but was speechless.

"Why are Lord Doman and Lord Zhang Luo not here? Lord Jing, have you seen Lord Doman and Lord Zhang Luo?" Xiaobai asked Abe Haruaki curiously when he found that Zhang Luo and Ashiya Doman were not here.

"Who is that?" Abe Haruaki was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.

"Lord Doman is Ashiya Doman, who seems to be a friend of Master Haruhiko Tadayuki, and is also a powerful Onmyoji. Lord Zhang Luo is an Onmyoji who came to travel from the Tang Kingdom. He came in before us just now. Aren't they here?" Kagura temporarily ignored the situation of Yaobikuni and asked Abe Haruaki.

"Maybe they took the wrong path. There are many trails in this forest, so it's not surprising that they took the wrong path." Yaobikuni glanced in the direction of Zhang Luo and Ashiya Doman, then interrupted.

"I see? Master's friend?"

Abe Haruaki stopped what he was doing and his face became a little excited.

This was the second time he heard about his master, Kamo Tadayuki. The last time was from Xiaobai. He originally wanted to meet his master to see if he could restore his memory, but Xiaobai said that his master had closed the door to visitors a month ago, before he lost his memory, and seemed to be in seclusion studying new Yin-Yang techniques.

"Looks like there's a chance I'll get to know my past memories," Abe Haruaki closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he had calmed down and said calmly, "Since Master Doman is a great Onmyoji as powerful as my master, and Master Zhang Luo is also someone who was able to travel across the ocean to Japan, there shouldn't be any chance of anything happening to them."

Pointing at the altar not far away, Abe Haruaki said, "Now, let's investigate this magic circle first. The current situation in a place like this is not normal."

"The place where the phoenix is ​​worshipped is so gloomy..." After hearing what Abe Haruaki said, Kagura also noticed the extremely strong yin energy that permeated the place, and her expression became serious.

"Thirty years ago, it was already like this," Yaobikuni began to explain. "Since then, I received guidance in a dream and waited here for Mr. Seimei, but few people came. I was always alone and lonely. Finally, Mr. Seimei has arrived. It's wonderful."

Yaobikuni clearly knew that both Kagura and Abe no Haruaki had lost their memories, and that Haku had rarely spent time in Heian-kyo before that. After all, it was Kyoto, and if a large monster ran rampant, it would easily cause unrest. So, she pretended to be forlorn and spoke sadly.

That is to say, Kagura and Abe no Haruaki lost their memories, which is why they were deceived by Yaobikuni.

"Thirty years or something, don't talk nonsense," Kagura questioned, "You don't look that old."

"Haha, yes, it doesn't look alike at all." said Yaobikuni with a chuckle.

For some reason, Kagura felt that her smile looked a little miserable.

"Oh, come to think of it, there was a visitor who came here." The Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni said suddenly, as if she had just remembered something.

"Has anyone been here?" Abe Haruaki asked hurriedly, trying to find some clues. After all, those who are related to yin energy are generally not easy to get along with.

"Yes, the fire of Lady Phoenix came here recently, but left immediately." Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni's eyebrows were full of smiles, "It seems that she is very dissatisfied with me."

Abe Haruaki could tell from Yaobikuni's words that Yaobikuni and Phoenix Fire seemed to be at odds with each other, and perhaps it was one-sided on Phoenix Fire's part, because when Yaobikuni talked about Phoenix Fire, she didn't have any negative emotions, but rather had the feeling of a winner talking about a loser.

Abe Haruaki thought it would be better not to respond, so he walked towards the altar, stopped in front of it, lowered his head, looked at the patterns of the magic circle, then looked around and had some guesses in his mind.

"There's a crack in the underworld here, and this magic circle exploits that." Abe Haruaki stated his observations, then paused, hesitantly looking at the patterns on the altar. After a long moment, he continued, "This spell is surprisingly strong; there's probably no way to forcibly break it."

"What will happen if it is forcibly removed?" Xiaobai asked curiously.

"If that happens, the person who lifts the curse will be swallowed by the circle." Before Abe Haruaki could finish his words, Yaobikuni took the initiative and explained to Xiaobai, "They will become the sacrifice for the summoning and ultimately lose their lives."

"...Xiaobai, I'd better watch you from a distance." Xiaobai said fearfully, then turned and ran, hiding behind Kagura and squatting down next to her. Not to mention his current state, even if he were in his prime, he would be powerless against this kind of Yin-Yang magic.

"Haha, if you don't have enough strength, you can't lift the curse." Yaobikuni smiled with amusement, but there was no mockery in her tone.

Then, the smile on Yaobikuni's face disappeared. She turned to look at Abe no Haruaki, and her voice became heavy as she proposed another solution: "Or, why not offer a sacrifice to lift the curse?"

Abe Haruaki lowered his head and remained silent. Kagura looked at Yaobikuni and Abe Haruaki, who had a solemn expression, and did not say anything. In this heavy atmosphere, Xiaobai also realized that something was wrong, but did not dare to say anything.

"I believe Mr. Qingming has already guessed the method to break the curse of this magic circle." Yaobikuni spoke first, breaking the heavy atmosphere.

“…But, the price is—” Abe Haruaki walked up to Yaobikuni with a look of disapproval on his face.

"Yes, in exchange, please end my life." said the Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni without changing her expression.

Abe Haruaki fell silent again, but his body blocked Yaobikuni's way. He was unwilling to agree to Yaobikuni's request, but he had no reason to refuse Yaobikuni.

Kagura was also shocked, but she had no intention of sacrificing innocent lives, and her face showed disapproval.

"Doman, is that really only solved by a sacrifice?"

In the jungle, while the other side fell silent again, Zhang Luo asked Ashiya Doman. If the person who lifted the spell would be swallowed by the magic circle, then if the power was strong enough, there shouldn't be any problem.

Moreover, Yaobikuni's attitude seemed to be a little wrong. How could a girlfriend force her boyfriend to sacrifice herself? Even if Yaobikuni did not die, if Abe Haruaki regained his memory and thought about what happened that day, wouldn't the two of them be very embarrassed?

"It's difficult. That magic circle is a curse from the Kamo family." Ashiya Doman shook his head and said with a puzzled look.

"What, what?" Zhang Luo exclaimed in a low voice, thinking in his heart, the Kamo family's spells, the Kamo family only has those three people, who would come to set up the magic circle and cause trouble - no, including Kamo Sara who is not sure whether he exists or not, there are four people in total, that's not right, now we have to add Hei Qingming, a total of five people.

Then, this spell should have been cast by the Snow Woman sent by Black Haruaki.

"Could it be?" Zhang Luo thought about it and guessed the reason why the eight hundred nuns were like this.

"That's right, if it's the Kamo family's spell, Yaobikuni wouldn't fail to recognize it." Ashiya Doman expressed Zhang Luo's guess, that is, Yaobikuni is suspicious of Abe Haruaki and is now testing him. After all, there are only a few people in the Kamo family, and only three of them are capable of setting up this magic circle. Two of them are unlikely to come here to set up the magic circle, and only Abe, who has a physical problem, is here.

Chapter 178 The Thunder Emperor Summoned

Watching the eight hundred nuns disappear in the magic circle, Abe Haruaki felt a pain in his heart, and a wave of sadness came over him. He staggered back three steps and was supported by Kagura.

"Seimei, now is not the time to be sad," Kagura said solemnly. The yin energy of the magic circle was growing stronger, and a gust of cold wind suddenly blew across a hundred meters. Dark clouds appeared from nowhere and obscured the stars and the moon. This was the prelude to a storm.

"I understand." Abe Haruaki knew that he couldn't be distracted at the moment. If the magic circle went wrong, the eight hundred nuns would have died in vain.

"...Well, with the sacrifice, the magic circle will be activated soon, and something will come out."

Abe Haruaki stood firm, his eyes fixed intently on the formation in front of him. After the figure of Yaobikuni disappeared, the Yin energy surging out of the formation became more and more, and stronger and stronger, which was enough to infuse a small monster into the level of a big monster.

Not long after, Abe Haruaki sensitively noticed that something was about to come out of the magic circle.

"cracking!!!"

Accompanied by a sharp cry that resounded through the sky, the negative energy condensed above the magic circle exploded, and a dark phoenix flew out from the bottom of the magic circle, straight into the sky, and after circling in the sky, it returned to the sky above the altar, emitting a heavy divine power, which made Abe Haruaki's expression become even more solemn.

Xiaobai was startled by the sudden appearance of the phoenix. The suppression of his status made Xiaobai feel an indescribable fear: "What, what is this?!"

"This is a phoenix... No, it's something even darker." Kagura looked at the dark phoenix and made a judgment, but quickly denied her own judgment, because this phoenix was a little too dark and weak.

Abe Haruaki did not dare to be careless at all. He stretched out his right hand, and a stack of talismans appeared out of thin air above her outstretched palm. Judging from the thickness, there should be about five or six talismans.

"All the soldiers who are about to attack are marching in formation, ready to fight as if they were commanded!"

As Abe Haruaki chanted the spell, the talisman paper rustled even though there was no wind, and floated into the air with the wind. A golden pentagram flashed on the snow-white talisman paper, and then a bright light shone, and five Shikigami appeared in front of Abe Haruaki.

Inugami, Yaoqinshi, Aoandon, Kamaitachi, Aoandon, four SRs and one SSR, it seems that this guy is the European Haruaki.

Zhang Luo, who was hiding in the jungle, recognized the Shikigami summoned by Abe Haruaki. Although it looked a little different from the one in the mobile game, it could still be recognized from its dress.

"Everyone, I'm leaving 970 in your hands this time." Abe Haruaki said to the summoned Shikigami.

"Phoenix? Qingming, you have provoked an enemy of this level just by going out." Qingxuandeng looked at the dark phoenix above the magic circle. His face seemed calm, but everyone could hear the heaviness in his words.

"I can only say that I will try my best. Monsters like us are completely at a disadvantage when facing high-level gods." The demon musician's face was heavy, and his fingers gently plucked the strings.

"I wonder if this phoenix can accept the teachings of my Buddha." Master Qingfang remained calm and recited the scriptures in a low voice.

"Hey, hey, isn't that guy the phoenix, one of the four guardian beasts, the one burning with the fire of life? And he looks like he's turned evil. Do we really want to fight him?"

"Hmm—I don't think we can defeat them. What do you think, Ichitaro-nii?"

"Wow, brother, I'm so ashamed of you. You're saying such discouraging words before the fight even starts... If you keep going like this, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and all our ancestors will laugh at us."

"Hey, Ichitaro-nii. Can you please stop blaming us and not think about yourself? You're really annoying."

The three brothers of the Kamaitachi family were arguing and talking nonsense. Abe Haruaki, realizing he had ignored their opinions, began to explain, "There's nothing we can do. Someone has set up a magic circle here, using the power of the Phoenix Shrine and the Netherworld rift. If we don't get rid of him, there will be big problems."

"If there are only five of us, our chance of winning is less than 5%. If we want to defeat this guy, it all depends on your performance, Abe Haruaki." Qingxuande made quick calculations and judgments in his mind, and then said to Abe Haruaki.

I understand." Abe Haruaki nodded. This matter was originally caused by him, so he naturally had to go all out. "Bang!" A muffled sound came from the direction of the magic circle, as if something was broken free.

However, everyone present knew that although the magic circle was used for summoning, it also had the ability to bind the summoned creatures. Otherwise, if the Dark Phoenix was summoned and ran away before it could be used, wouldn't it be a huge loss?

The appearance of this muffled sound means that the binding force of the magic circle has been lost.

"Hesitation is a taboo for the sword. I'm going to attack!"

Seeing that the Dark Phoenix was about to escape, Inugami drew his sword and rushed towards the Dark Phoenix.

"The sword follows the heart, the sword dances wildly!"
