A comic book, but a librarian

Uesugi Cheng knocked on the mirror. He didn't use this kind of divination very often, so he almost thought that he would make some mistakes. After all, neither the location nor the medium was very authentic. Fortunately, this mirror had some spiritual power, so Uesugi Cheng barely completed the divination.

"Xiaoyao, remember, you can't just look at or touch the mirror casually. After all, the mirror is also a very wonderful medium."

Uesugi Cheng touched Xiaoyao's hair and her blue bow, then pointed at the image displayed in the mirror.

"Do you know where this is?"

"Ah, maybe that garbage dump in the woods behind the fields?"

Xiaoyao looked a little distressed. She had never been to that kind of place, but she had heard adults say that the garbage dump seemed a bit dangerous.

"A garbage dump near a field? Do people in this town choose locations so strangely?"

Uesugi Cheng looked at the two words "Forest" next to the shrine and "Wada" on the map. That area was blank. Xiaoyao had never been to that place so she couldn't draw it at all.

"Then let's hurry over there... After all, if we don't go now and let them run around, it will be troublesome."

Xiaoyao also nodded. Although she was a little tired, she still mustered up her energy and followed Uesugi Cheng's footsteps. After all, the next place they were going to would be where they would see Xiaowei.

"How should I say goodbye to her...I should have said it a long time ago."

Although she was very happy to see Xiao Wei again, she was immediately filled with a sense of loss because she was about to move out of the town and leave her best friend.

"How about you talk to her properly? Say goodbye seriously, but don't take it too seriously. After all, there is still a chance for us to meet again. Besides, technology is so advanced nowadays. Whether it's sending letters or chatting via video on your phone, it's very convenient."

Xiaoyao nodded as if she understood, and although she didn't quite understand a lot of things Uesugi Cheng said, she remembered one sentence and said goodbye properly.

"You've decided, right? Then we should set off. I'll take you to see her, and then Jianzi and I will go find a guy to have a good talk with him about how to make it settle down."

Uesugi Sumiko stretched his body, took out the token given to him by Ye Hui again, and called Ye Hui. He no longer wanted to play the game of passing by and missing each other. Now that he knew the exact location of Yotsuya Miko, he should find her directly with the fastest method.

"Can we go to this place?"

Xiaoyao was frightened when Ye Hui appeared, but seeing that Ye Hui didn't seem to have any ill intentions, she plucked up her courage and even slowly approached and gently touched Ye Hui's body.

Ye Hui opened his pocket and prepared to set off as usual.

"Okay, let's get going, Xiaoyao. Ninety percent of the people on the next journey may never experience this in their lifetime, so you must close your eyes and experience this feeling."

Uesugi Cheng spoke, took the little girl who had closed her eyes, stepped into the pocket, and set off.

Chapter 499: Yuan Tianzun.

When Uesugi Cheng arrived at the end of the forest where Xiaoyao mentioned the waste was placed, which was commonly called the garbage dump although no one had officially named it that, he saw rows and rows of bloody words.

"It's so cold. I want to go home. Please save me. I don't want to die... Someone has died here before, but it's not surprising."

Uesugi Cheng sighed. It was obvious that these bloody words scared Xiaoyao a lot, especially the unique smell of blood, which made her subconsciously grab Uesugi Cheng's sleeve. She was afraid in her heart, but for some reason, she also felt a little sad.

"Let's go. They are at the end. There are probably... abandoned trains over there. Who would have thought that this place would slowly become a garbage dump?"

Uesugi Cheng saw the carriage at the end of the waste, although he didn't know why there were abandoned cars in this place.

But to be honest, the carriage at the end that was covered with vines and weeds was what surprised him the most. Of course, he also knew that there were railway tracks in this town and trains would pass through it, but unfortunately, it just passed through the town without any stops. Otherwise, he could have taken the train directly to the town without having to change to a bus.

"The resentment here is almost cleared away... It seems that Jianzi is still working hard to learn and apply the knowledge."

The dense blood-red words slowly faded away as Uesugi Cheng approached, followed by the sad crying and mumbling of a woman. There was not much resentment in her, but more pleading and despair. Now, this crying high school girl, whose whole body seemed to be soaked in a pool of blood, was kneeling on the ground, with blood dripping around her, like bloody rain.

Yotsuya Miko gently placed a red umbrella in front of her, muttering something. Gradually, the blood-colored rain became smaller, and the crying also became quieter.

"Huh... I finally calmed it down. This vengeful spirit that had been there for so long..."

Yotsuya Miko was panting. She had experienced many incidents of soothing and exorcising spirits in the past year, but this was the first time she had soothed a spirit from such a long time ago. To be honest, she herself had no idea. But when she saw Uesugi Sumire appear in her sight with a little girl, her originally anxious heart was instantly put at ease, and she began to devote herself to the performance.

"Xiao Wei!!"

"Xiaoyao!!"

After the two little girls met, they immediately hugged each other in surprise, as if they were holding a precious treasure that had been lost and found again. Looking at the two little ones who were so excited that they were about to cry, Yotsuya Miko and Uesugi Sumiko were actually very calm.

"She is a pitiful person. Let her rest in peace as soon as possible...Speaking of which, have you ever met a strange guy named Yuan Tianzun? He is not the same as the mountain god."

Uesugi Sumiko asked casually. He didn't know what effective answer Yotsuya Miko could give. After all, Yuan Tianzun didn't seem like a being who would appear casually.

"I don't know, but we encountered a very strange big guy holding a pair of scissors... I don't think it's a simple evil spirit. Come to think of it, I think I found where the mountain god is, but I didn't dare to explore because I didn't have enough fighting power. Since you're already here, let's go over and try to get rid of it this evening."

Yotsuya Kenko was unexpectedly very proactive. She took a deep breath and sent the female ghost in front of her, who was probably about her age, to her resting place.

"Okay, get ready to lead the way. What about these two little guys?"

Uesugi Cheng pointed at Xiao Wei and Xiao Yao who had already started to whisper. It was obvious that they were very moved by the reunion, but a more realistic question was placed in front of them: should they just go home like this, or...

"I thought we should take them with us. After all, they have been targeted by the mountain god. It would be troublesome if they were bewitched and returned to the mountain after we let them go home."

Yotsuya Miko scratched her hair and seemed to have been thinking for a long time.

"Then let's set off and try to deal with the mountain god as soon as possible."

The two little guys had finished their whispers at this moment.

"Big brother and big sister, we...we want to go with you...that mountain god has tied us together, but Xiaoyao will have to move away in the end, so we have to..."

The two girls stretched out their wrists at the same time. The red string was tied tightly around their hands, connecting them together. This was how the two girls could sense each other's position.

"I understand. Follow me. You must learn to protect yourself... We may not have time to take care of you when the time comes."

Although Uesugi Sumiya said this, he still ordered Himegami Sakura to protect the two little guys. They now had to go back to the mountain to solve the trouble of the mountain god.

"This is indeed the path up the mountain...but was there this shrine when we came down last time?"

A vermilion torii gate stood in front of several people. As the shrine behind the torii gate appeared in everyone's eyes, the strange human-shaped tiles on the ground attracted everyone's attention.

"Really? It's a shrine, but they still litter it. Do these townspeople really have no sense of public morality?"

Just as Yotsuya Miko was about to pick up the trash and throw it away, she heard a familiar crunching sound.

"Acheng!! Get out of the way, that guy is coming!!"

Yotsuya Miko subconsciously lay down, the wind whistled past with a bloody smell, and the huge scissors rushed towards them again, but this time, Uesugi Sumire stood in front of her and used the paper man in her hand to replace the damage.

"There's something wrong with that pair of scissors!! Jianzi, clean them up...it's Yuan Tianzun!!"

Uesugi Cheng immediately realized that this was the Yuan Tianzun. Although he didn't know why it looked like it was crazy, there would definitely be no problem cleaning up the shrine.

Yuan Tianzun seemed to be very frantic. He kept trying to find an angle to use his scissors to cut off something on Uesugi Sumiko and Yotsuya Miko's bodies, but he got nothing because of the obstruction of Uesugi Sumiko holding a short knife made of mountain copper.

"That's enough... the humanoid has been cleaned up, the next step is..."

Just as Yotsuya Miko was about to light the candle at the end of the human-shaped floor tile, she saw that the two little girls had already lit all the candles.

"If this is the case, Master Yuan Tianzun, you will feel better..."

Xiao Wei thought so.

Chapter 500: Cutting off the fate.

However, Yuan Tianzun did not calm down as they imagined. It just shifted its target from people to the huge human-shaped floor tile on the ground. It looked as if it wanted to cut the human-shaped floor tile in half. It kept changing its position and then tried to leave marks on the floor tile with scissors, but as expected, the floor tile did not move at all, as if it had some special protection.

"Yuan Tianzun, although it is called Yuan Tianzun, unexpectedly... it is the god in charge of separation and farewell, cutting off the fate that should be severed for others... So that's how it is."

Looking at the appearance of Yuan Tianzun, Uesugi Cheng already understood why it existed and why it attacked Yotsuya Miko.

Like the mountain god, it gradually began to go crazy due to the decrease in human offerings. Unlike the mountain god that tried to seduce humans, Yuan Tianzun still remembered his duties, but under the increasing madness, it could no longer recognize its goals and only remembered to cut off things that should not continue to exist.

"The 'bond' created by the mountain god seems to be something that shouldn't exist, so it keeps chasing you. This shrine was built to appease its anger... We should move on. It seems that Yuan Tianzun has calmed down."

Just as Uesugi Sumiko was speaking, Yuan Tianzun had disappeared, leaving only a small pair of red scissors. The red color seemed to be dyed with blood and spread on the handles of the scissors. Yotsuya Miko stretched the scissors to the red thread connecting Xiao Wei and Xiao Yao's arms, and then pressed the scissors.

The red silk thread broke with a sound, and it was so simple that even Yotsuya Miko herself couldn't believe that the matter ended like this.

Of course, the mountain god would not give up so easily. Yotsuya Miko suddenly heard a sound that seemed to come from the mountains.

"Come here, come here, come here, come here!!!"

The increasingly frantic calls made her cover her head. The red thread that had just been cut was connected to the arms of the two young girls again the next second, and it looked as if it had not been cut.

"You're starting to go crazy. After you found out that your power was cut off by Yuan Tianzun, are you starting to get anxious?"

Uesugi Cheng suddenly laughed, he moved his body, and mist surged out and enveloped Xiao Wei and Xiao Yao. With the long-term blessing of various materials, the mist controlled by Himegami Sakura already had the concepts of 'secret' and 'hidden'. Sure enough, after the mist enveloped Xiao Wei and Xiao Yao, the mountain began to shake as if it was roaring.

The mountain god finally became anxious. The target it had finally set its sights on disappeared from its sight again. Countless spiders that looked like they were made of bandages appeared from nowhere. They stared at Uesugi Sumiko and Yotsuya Miko, as if they had found their target.

"See, that guy finally got anxious..."

"Well, I remember there was something wrong with the Jizo on the road. If I guessed correctly, the road should be behind the Jizo statue. To be honest, I'm really fed up with this damn mountain god... Let's go over there."

Just as Yotsuya Miko was about to take out his weapon to shoot away all these spider-like evil spirits that should have died long ago, he heard a crackling sound. He looked up and saw Yuan Tianzun appearing out of nowhere and cutting all the spiders and their silk threads in half with one sword.

"What key words did you just say that caused Yuan Tianzun to appear... Never mind, now is not the time to pursue this matter. Let's go."

Thanks to the strong support of Entenzun, Uesugi Sumiko and Yotsuya Miko arrived in front of the Ksitigarbha statue in almost no time. The mountain god's unbearable and manic voice was close to a roar. Many spiders appeared along the way, and even a huge ball covered with eyes appeared, which kept spitting out black mist and then stretched out its arms to try to grab the two of them.

Of course, the strength of these guys was far less than Uesugi Cheng had expected. Even without the help of Yuan Tianzun, these guys could be defeated by Uesugi Cheng with just one or two swords. However, the mysterious fluctuations caused by the mountain god did cause them considerable trouble. At least the slight earthquake in the mountain made both of them a little unstable.

The moment Yuan Tianzun saw the statue of Ksitigarbha, he picked up his scissors and neatly cut the statue into two pieces, revealing the entrance at the back. Then, as if he had completed his last mission, he floated up and disappeared into the air.

"Come on, we have to speed up. This guy probably wouldn't mind a natural disaster like an earthquake causing a landslide."

Uesugi Sumire pulled Yotsuya Miko and walked towards the entrance. Countless red silk threads were densely wrapped around the interior of the cave. Not only the statues of Jizo arranged inside the cave, but even the stalactites were wrapped with huge amounts of red silk threads, blocking the road layer by layer.

"Yes, that's it, come here quickly."

The mountain god's voice expressed ecstasy, and it was impatiently waiting for the delicious meal to be delivered to its door.

"Guys like you... should just die!!!"

Yotsuya Miko angrily picked up the scissors in her hand and cut off the obstacles along the way. She really couldn't wait to give this mountain god a few blows to let it know that humans are not something that can be slaughtered at will.

They almost ran to the deepest part of the cave. A huge eyeball was staring at them the moment they stepped in, and it looked extremely happy.

The arms that looked like spider legs smashed to the ground, seemingly trying to smash the intruder into a pulp, but it didn't expect that the two humans in front of it, who looked like food to it, actually had the power to resist it.

"Well, I finally found my true identity. There's no need to hide any longer... Let's have a good chat, with the weapons in our hands."

The mountain god's arm broke and red blood gushed out like a fountain. Although it immediately blocked the wound with spider silk, the kind of terrible pain it had never felt before.

"Kill, kill you!!!"

The mountain god, on the verge of madness, has no time to think about why the food began to rebel. It now only wants fresh flesh and soul.

However, under the slashing of the sharp blade in Uesugi Cheng's hand, even a monster as huge as it could only be like a prey to be slaughtered, and the wounds on its body gradually increased.

"Acheng, let me do it for the last time."

Yotsuya Miko raised her scissors as if she was shouting something.

“Yuan Tianzun, cut off its last bit of life… It’s time for it to say goodbye to this world.”

The next moment, blood gushed out like a fountain, and the huge mountain god fell silent in reluctance.

501

Chapter 501: Transformation and Rebirth.

Of course, the mountain god did not die so easily. Even though the blood gushed out, Yotsuya Miko could still hear the thunder-like heartbeat. Although the mountain god fell silent, she could clearly see that it was not willing to lie down quietly like this, and the mountain began to tremble.

"No, if you vent your anger like this, many people will die..."

Yotsuya Miko knew very well that the town was built on the mountain. If the mountain god really went crazy, it would be difficult for the people in the town to escape. She could only try her best to use the spiritual and soothing techniques and methods of the silent technique. She never thought that the first time she would use all her strength would be in such a place.

"It's okay, I'm still here, I'll help you... I said this big guy only looks big, but its actual combat power is not that high."

Uesugi Cheng sighed and put his hand on Yotsuya Miko's shoulder, and the power of soul essence surged out instantly.

"But this is a problem. The [Blood of Anulio] was indeed absorbed by it. The spiritual power and blood merged together, giving it an absurdly strong vitality."

The mountain god's huge body still retained its vitality. Even though the blood was gushing out like a spring, and even soaked Yotsugu Jianzi's whole body, it was still continuing to gush out.

"But... it's just right. I really didn't expect it. At that time, I thought it would take a long time to do it, but I didn't expect that the conditions are now available."

Himegami Sakura silently walked out from the shadows, and she even looked like she was ready to die. Yotsuya Miko was very curious about what Uesugi Sumire said that made her have such an expression. After all, this mysterious doll lady usually had a cold face except when she showed a good look to Uesugi Sumire.

"Ying, are you ready? This is... a field I have never touched before. To be honest, I have no idea whether we can succeed. After all, the person who provided this theory is Ms. Suluochana."

Himegami Sakura just nodded silently and slowly stepped into the pool of blood, looking as if she was immersing herself in the water.

"Yes, let's get started. Let's... turn you into a real 'life'."
