Miss Heber is fighting her way out of the Lostbelt!

The maintenance of this tacit understanding made Minamoto no Raikou feel anxious, but also secretly happy.

By the river, Hebe sat down with her fishing rod, and Minamoto no Raikou sat under a tree, practicing the swordsmanship of Kurama Hachiryu in her mind. She felt that she had reached the threshold of some kind of change, and only needed an opportunity to truly transform the swordsmanship taught by Tengu into a technique suitable for humans.

Until the sun set, Hebe didn't catch even a single fish.

Heber put away his fishing rod and walked towards the Yin Yang Master who was also fishing not far away.

The other party's fish basket had a lot of harvest.

"Can you sell me one?" Heber asked.

The tall and handsome Onmyoji, dressed in black, glanced at her with a look of surprise.

"of course can."

Seeing Heber skillfully pick out a fish that was neither too big nor too small, the Yin-Yang Master's expression was a little complicated: "Don't you want to ask me anything else?"

"Do you like fishing?" Heber asked him.

"I may not have many hobbies, but fishing is certainly one of them," the Yin-Yang Master replied. "Ah, alas, as the saying goes, those who are willing take the bait."

"I like it too, although I'm not very lucky," said Heber.

The Onmyoji thought that it might not just be bad luck... but he didn't dare say it.

After all, although the person in front of me has done some superficial disguise, his true nature is completely exposed.

The barrier of Heian-kyo was set up by Master Qingming himself.

How terrifying is it that the fox demon can withstand the Heian-kyo barrier and not hide its true nature... Just thinking about it makes the Onmyoji break out in a cold sweat.

I have always been cautious in my life, so how come I would encounter such a creature while fishing?

"Let's leave Heian-kyō tomorrow, no, tonight!" The Onmyoji made up his mind.

When Heber left with the fish, the Yin-Yang Master stood by the river with a gloomy expression.

"Damn it, even something like this can appear in Heian-kyō, something big must be happening soon!"

The Onmyoji became more and more frightened the more he thought about it. In the end, he didn't even want to go back to Heian Kyoto. He took out several talismans, jumped into the river, and escaped by using the water.

When Heber returned to the car, Minamoto no Raikou was a little concerned.

"who's that person?"

"A Yin-Yang master who is as famous as Abe Haruaki... well, he's a little different from what I imagined."

Heber put his hands in his sleeves and said calmly, "But I have memorized his appearance and spirit. If I find him doing anything that displeases me in the future, I can directly trace him back and kill him."

"Teacher, I still don't understand why you have to fish." Minamoto no Raikou hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Aren't you a fox?"

"Foxes and fishing don't conflict, right?" Heber looked at her strangely.

"No, what I mean is, teacher, why don't you use fox fire to evaporate the water and catch the fish directly?" Minamoto no Raikou gestured with his hands.

Heber's eyes turned dangerous. "Who taught you this weird way of thinking? I must correct your wrong thinking!"

"The point is, the teacher has never caught a fish either," Minamoto no Raikou stammered. "Isn't this just a waste of time..."

Heber's expression gradually twisted.

The fist is hard.

Damn it, how did Minamoto no Raikou become like this? It must be the work of Ugly Gozen!

With a gloomy face, Heber untied his hairband, wrote a talisman in the air, and tied it directly on Minamoto no Raikou's forehead.

The moment the headband touched her skin, Minamoto no Raikou's mind went blank, and then she realized that Ugly Gozen's voice was blocked.

"Eh?"

She looked at Hebe in surprise, but saw that Hebe was also looking at her seriously.

"Raikou, don't say that again." Heber said earnestly, "Stop chatting with those irrelevant people."

Dongguo Volume 76: Long and lingering shadows in the library

The time is getting closer to Minamoto no Yorimitsu's coming of age.

When dusk falls, it is a tacit agreement between Heber and Minamoto no Raikou to patrol the territory.

The Onmyojis of Heian-kyō believed that dusk was the dividing line between humans and ghosts, so they called it the Demonic Hour, which required constant attention.

"What the Yin-Yang masters said is correct, but it is not comprehensive."

Heber sat in the car with a green curtain hanging down, while Minamoto no Raikou sat opposite her and listened to the class quietly.

"I call these special times 'Times of Escape': sunrise, noon, sunset, and midnight." Heber held up four fingers. "At these four times, all spells and rituals will become smoother and more effective."

This knowledge was deposited in the two Lostbelts of Albion and Egypt.

Minamoto no Raikou looked a little puzzled: "Teacher, could it be that the Onmyojis...II久⊙8吾ksan（八）七壹三"

She wanted to say that the Onmyojis were unlearned and unskilled, but it seemed unlikely that an Onmyoji who had experienced many battles would be unlearned and unskilled.

Seiwa Genji also had his own Onmyoji. According to them, the four times of sunrise, noon, sunset and midnight are exactly the times that need to be avoided.

If one is not a being of high enough status, performing spells and rituals at these four moments will not only fail to gain blessings, but will also result in extremely severe backlash.

Minamoto no Raikou organized his words and asked his questions.

　Heber was taken aback.

She had never thought of this saying, but she could understand it after a little thought.

In Albion, he is the great sage Merlin; in the hot land of Egypt, he is the Scribe of the Sky, King of the Ibises, Imenhotep.

How could these Yin-Yang masters from the East Country, who might not even have Qiming, dare to perform rituals during the time of Yifa?

"Ah, don't worry about the flag spirit eight dance ④s sulfur shrimp (seven) 7 fins thing." Heber pointed at himself, "I'm different from those onmyojis."

Minamoto no Raikou was speechless for a moment.

"You, too," Heber said to Minamoto no Raikou. "Ordinary taboos are nothing to you."

If there is a child of destiny in the Eastern Lostbelt, then Minamoto no Raikou is the undisputed leader.

In other words, even if Hebe did nothing, Minamoto no Raikou would sooner or later be destined to eliminate all mysteries and end the Heian period, where demons and monsters were rampant.

However, Heber did not delve into the topic, but turned his attention to the destination of the trip.

Seiwa Genji had his own library.

Compared to the library collections of the nobles in Heian-kyo, the collections of Seiwa Genji were more targeted - as the front line of the battle between Oeyama and Heian-kyo, information about the enemy was essential.

The books in Seiwa and Genji's collections all contain illustrations of various monsters and ghosts, so that when an emergency occurs, they can immediately determine the origin of the enemy and provide a solution.

"From today on, you will also study here at night." Hebe took out an oil lamp, blew into the empty lamp, and light emerged from it.

The turquoise fox fire burned quietly in the lamp. Hebe held the oil lamp, casting three tails of shadows on the wall of the library.

Yes, Three Tails.

When Heber found Minamoto no Raikou, the shadow of her third tail had already appeared. With the establishment of the teacher-student relationship, her third tail was completely formed.

The power of this tail is to temporarily exchange the fate of a designated target. Bad luck can be turned into good luck, and good luck can also be turned into bad luck.

Just like a lotus reborn.

　?er球覇十鷗?玲?镹（/?三）鹨踹 Now that I think about it, the fate of many people has indeed been changed by Hebe, and the ability awakened by Foxtail is closely related to the environment.

So when she came to Minamoto no Raikou, it was natural that she could awaken such ability.

thump.

Hebe placed the lamp on the table, then transformed into a fox, swinging three fluffy golden tails, and curled up in the book.

The book was spread out in front of Minamoto no Raikou, but her eyes couldn't help but drift to the tail behind Heber.

I really want to cut off the teacher's fox tail and hide it, so that the teacher who lost the tail cannot leave me... Just like a fairy who lost her heavenly clothes, she can only marry a fisherman.

In a trance, the shadow behind her grew horns ferociously, and two lightning-like lights appeared on the dark face.

Heber flipped through the scriptures on the table as if unintentionally, and the reflection of the fox tail behind him became larger and larger.

The lights burned quietly.

The shadows of Foxtail and the Bull Demon chased and tore at each other within the scroll. They crossed every inscription on the bamboo slips, dyeing their faded bodies black again in the dried ink. They pursued and blocked the gaps between walls and shelves, fighting for every inch of resting space under the lamplight. They tangled in every speck of dust floating in the air, until the dust fell into the light of the lamp and transformed into a bright point of light.

On the ground, the shadows of the two people became longer and longer.

The fox tail grabbed the Bull Demon's body and pulled it away in three directions.

The Bull-Headed King, his eyes filled with lightning, stared at Hebe. She struggled but could not escape the restraint of the fox tail.

flutter.

The lights flickered quietly.

The shadow that filled the entire library suddenly disappeared again.

Minamoto no Raikou shuddered when he saw the fox demon still curled up in the book, its three huge tails occasionally flapping the ground.

The book in front of her was still on the first page.

Deep in his consciousness, Ugly Yuzen's roar disappeared and became extremely weak.

The shadows of the two people on the paper sliding door merged together, looking extremely affectionate.

By late at night, no strange phenomena had appeared.

When the sun rose, Minamoto no Yorimitsu was shocked to realize that he had not slept all night, but he still felt energetic and in high spirits.

"That's normal." Heber curled his lips. "Be prepared, Raikou, this process may take a long time."

When the sunlight came in, the fox demon blew at the oil lamp, and the green fox fire was extinguished in an instant.

"Teacher, how long will this process last?" asked Minamoto no Raikou.

In the light, the fox demon transformed into a human form again, with a vicious curve at the corner of its mouth.

"Don't even think about sleeping until you reach adulthood."

However, to Heber's surprise, Minamoto no Raikou did not show any surprise, but responded with a faint smile.

"If that's the case, then that's not bad either." Minamoto no Raikou thought, "After all, the time I spend with my teacher has actually increased."

Feeling bored, Heber swung his tail and walked out of the library.

She planned to let Minamoto no Raikou gradually deal with the monsters and ghosts.

How could a famous sword not be sharpened with blood? Before embarking on large-scale slaughter, it must first be acclimated to blood.

'No, perhaps for Ugly Gozen, blood and death are the sacrifices that will help her recover.' Heber thought dully, his hands hidden in his sleeves.

She is about to push Minamoto no Raikou onto the battlefield of destiny with her own hands.

At the end of this road, Minamoto no Raikou will definitely merge with Ugumi Gozen... In other words, the best ending for Minamoto no Raikou is to die in battle before being assimilated by Ugumi Gozen.

Heber glanced at Foxtail behind him.

From this perspective, the third tail came at a very timely moment.

ps: There is another chapter later

Eastern Kingdom Volume 77: Obedience is worse than respect

There were still more than two months before Minamoto no Raikou's coming of age ceremony, but she had already killed more than a dozen "beasts" with her own hands.

In order to avoid causing large-scale disturbances, Minamoto no Raikou always started his killing spree after nightfall.

And Hebe always followed behind her, on the one hand to support Minamoto no Raikou, and on the other hand to clean up her mess.

Influenced by Ushi Gozen, Minamoto no Raikou's fighting style is extremely violent. When he enters the state, he will not hesitate to risk his own safety to trigger thunder and violent winds, plowing the entire battlefield like a natural disaster.

Fortunately, according to Hebe's teachings, she first led the target to the uninhabited mountains and then began the attack.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to say whether the demon's interference was greater or Minamoto no Raikou's destructive power was greater.

Only after Minamoto no Raikou finished his campaign and left did Heber enter the battlefield and begin arranging rituals to purify the remaining influences.

It's called a ceremony, but in reality it's just putting on tabi and stepping on the ground several times.

If the Onmyojis from Heian-kyō were to come, it would probably take several days to completely eliminate the remaining influence.
