Miss Heber is fighting her way out of the Lostbelt!

"No, maybe it's not just that." The little monk stood on the street, his mind as clear as a mirror. "The Hozoin-ryu spear technique was secretly taught by Master Saga. Maybe the Great Power is still thinking about the incense..."

But Hebe didn't look at him, because there was someone standing on the eaves in the moonlight, staring down at her.

It's Miyamoto Musashi.

She waved her two swords provocatively, a subtle smile appearing on her face.

Heber didn't say anything, but stretched out his hand towards her.

Miyamoto Musashi's face suddenly changed, and he drew out the two swords at his waist without hesitation.

The sword rang loudly, but no sword light was seen. However, Miyamoto Musashi was facing a powerful enemy. He slashed at the eaves with twenty-nine swords in a row, and forcibly cut a way out of the invisible sword encirclement.

Her body did not retreat but advanced, because Musashi knew that the coverage of her sword intent was not that far.

She had to get to within a meter of Heber! Just like the dragonfly cut she used against "Nioh" Honda Tadakatsu before!

However, Heber's expression remained unchanged: "What is your wish?"

His wish? To constantly hone his swordsmanship, to reach the state of "nothingness."

But why did Tamamonomae ask this question?

And why didn't she draw her sword, but just watched him approach quickly?

Questions emerged from Miyamoto Musashi's heart like raindrops, and she shouldn't have so many problems at this time.

Miyamoto Musashi's sword stopped several meters away, and his body was as stiff as a puppet.

On the side of the long street, the little monk stared at this strange confrontation, cold sweat dripping down his smooth and shiny forehead.

The little monk put his hands together, but he didn't dare to look away for a moment.

"Ah?" This was the puzzled question asked by Miyamoto Musashi, the one who was stabbed by the sword.

"Ah." After a brief silence, the little monk sighed in understanding.

This was not because he was more proficient in swordsmanship than Miyamoto Musashi, but because he had just been hit by Heber's sword, but survived because Heber showed mercy.

So he vaguely understood it.

The reason why Miyamoto Musashi himself didn't know when Heber drew his sword was because... Heber didn't draw his sword at all.

No one saw her draw her sword because she had already drawn it.

"Tamamonomae saw Miyamoto Musashi, and at the moment their eyes met, it was the first hit;"

"Tamamonomae pointed at Miyamoto Musashi, and the invisible sword energy locked onto her. This was the second hit;"

"Tamamonomae asked Miyamoto Musashi a question. The moment the voice reached his ears, it hit him for the third time..."

See the middle, fall the middle, hear the middle.

There is no escape, no avoidance.

It is said that when Scarfather traveled through the wilderness as the King of the Wild Hunt, the shadow of his army was seen in Northern Europe. Scarfather threw his spear like a meteor, and every time he threw it, he would hit the target.

The sword system was secretly passed down by Scar's father, so Heber's sword intent also has this characteristic.

Now she only needs to detonate the sword energy that emerges from the depths of her consciousness, and Miyamoto Musashi will be torn into pieces.

Heber raised his hand.

"The Dragon God is not dead yet, there is something hidden!"

In the distance, Chiyome Mochizuki's figure appeared under the moon, but she was too late to arrive, so she could only call out.

As the ninja with the most mysterious whereabouts in the entire Full Moon Ceremony, he no longer cared about hiding his whereabouts at this moment.

Her call was indeed effective.

The sword energy that was flowing deep within Miyamoto Musashi's body, causing his thoughts and body to stagnate, no longer showing a killing edge, but instead falling and settling down like millions of blocks that no longer moved or changed.

The block locked Miyamoto Musashi.

From the appearance of Miyamoto Musashi, to the arrival of Mochizuki Chiyome, to the defeat of Miyamoto Musashi...it was actually just a blink of an eye.

The little monk thought, "In this blink of an eye, it's enough time for me to die many times."

If he were a pure warrior, he would definitely not have the courage to pick up a sword in the face of such amazing swordsmanship. But fortunately, besides being a warrior, he was also a monk.

What's wrong with monks worshipping Buddha? Hozoin Yinshun was convinced.

Chiyome Mochizuki landed not far from Hebe.

Heber looked at the ninja calmly. She felt the presence of Miss Aaron from the ninja.

According to the calculations of Inari Taisha Shrine, the Chiyoko Mochizuki in front of us should be considered as Miss Along's exclusive priestess.

Can the elements of shrine maiden and ninja be stacked like this?

"Are you from the foot of Mount Takachiho?"

"Yes, I am the shrine maiden who worships the Takachiho Dragon," Mochizuki Chiyonoe replied, "The Dragon God is not truly dead."

"But it is her remains that you are fighting over."

"To be precise, it's the remains of the Dragon God." Mochizuki Chiyonoe considered her words, "Please allow me to tell you the whole story."

Heber nodded, but showed no intention of taking action.

"You are..."

"No need to go anywhere else, just talk here."

Heber looked at the figure gradually emerging at the end of the long street, his tone flat.

Dongguo Volume: 121 Two Idiots

The swordsman who was skilled in the art of swift sword drawing lay on the ground, while the sword saint stood beside him like a dead statue.

The monk sat cross-legged, muttering something; the witch stood beside the fox demon, seemingly narrating something.

When Ito Ittosai and Yagyu Munenori arrived together, they saw such a bizarre scene.

"After your death, the Shogun resolutely carried out the task of eradicating the mysteries throughout the Eastern Kingdom. However, over a hundred years ago, the great Onmyoji Ashiya Doman appeared in Heian-kyō and paid his respects to the Shogun."

"Ashiya Doman..." Heber murmured, and the image of the Onmyoji who was like a beautiful beast appeared before his eyes.

Image: "Ashiya Michiman", Location: "Images/1740397672-100425178-113034985.jpg"

He had met me once before, on the riverside near the Heian-kyō Bridge.

Heber also remembered that at the end of the shogunate, she was told that "the general found Ashiya Doman and forced him to perform the full moon ceremony"; but at this time, Mochizuki Chiyome said that it was "Ashiya Doman who took the initiative to meet the general."

This is a serious point of disagreement.

"The General summoned Master Doman to the Hana no Imperial Palace and asked him if sentient beings have an afterlife.

Master Daoman replied: "No. The sword and pen of the Lord of Mount Tai cannot be altered. All the dead will only fall into the Sea of Silence."

The general was disappointed.

However, Master Daoman also said: "Few people die without regrets in this world, but many die without realizing it. Like the latter, their names are not recorded by the Lord of Mount Tai, but are instead known to the various rulers."

Hebe did not comment. Taishan Fujun was the nickname of Sighing Lord in the Aurora cultural circle.

Ashiya Doman's answer was indeed correct, because there were still a huge number of dead people wandering between the wasteland and the border. Most of them had obsessions in their hearts, so they would not fall into the Silent Sea and die.

Ito Ittosai and Yagyu Munenori looked at each other and grasped the hilts of their swords in tacit understanding, but neither of them drew his sword first.

Because they also wanted to know the secret of this waxing moon ceremony.

"Master Daoman replied: 'I have a magical skill that allows me to pray for the favor of the Earth Mother. If anyone close to the Grand Emperor passes away, I can bring them back.'"

Earth Mother is another name for the July Ruling Holy Grail. She is considered the prototype of the Great Mother Goddess throughout the world, even older than Pearl and Messiah.

There is no doubt that the "wonderful technique" that Ashiya Doman mentioned was this full moon ceremony.

"The General asked: What is the cost?

Master Doman replied: "Everything in the world must die after birth, and everything that flourishes must decline. If you wish to call back the dead, you must sacrifice the living. If you wish to raise Tamamonomae, you must sacrifice the entire city of Kyoto."

The general was silent for a long time.

Master Doman said: "Please forgive my presumptuous behavior. However, the Grand Gozen's indulgence in past dreams and melancholy is not a long-term solution. If we can summon Tamamonomae-sama back, we will surely establish a nation far superior to Takama-ga-hara and create a worry-free future for our descendants for generations to come."

"I was present at the time and heard it all." Mochizuki Chiyon took a deep breath. "The General said: 'No.'"

Heber stared at Chiyome Mochizuki, the sword energy pulsating at his fingertips.

Whether it was the induction of the illusion or the sword intent, both told her that this was not a lie.

"Go on," Heber whispered.

"The next day, Master Doman again advised: 'Today, the East is at peace, but to reach a brighter future, Tamamonomae is an indispensable advisor. The decisive battle between my father and me and the Wolf King will begin in five hundred years, and the Grand Gozen must make a decision soon.'

The general said: No.

On the third day, Master Doman bowed his head again and offered this advice: "This is your last, final chance to redeem your lost life and reclaim your lost dream. The more time passes, the further you become from Tamamonomae. Only by bringing her back can you escape eternal regret."

The General did not answer.

In Kyoto City, almost all the swordsmen who were still alive were present, but no one spoke. They all wanted to know the inside story of this "Full Moon Ceremony".

Only Chiyo, who was once a shrine maiden of the Takachiho 88th Head Shrine and later a ninja close to the Shogun, could reveal these unknown secrets.

"Master Daoman then bowed his head again, explaining that even if the Waxing Moon Ritual hadn't been activated, it could still regulate the soil and water, control the climate, and ensure a good harvest regardless of drought or flood. He also expressed his willingness to fully disclose the Waxing Moon Ritual, leaving all matters to the general's discretion.

The general then entrusted the waxing moon ceremony to Inari Taisha Shrine, and after confirming it was harmless, it was set up in Kyoto. For the next five years, the eastern part of the country enjoyed good weather and harvests, and even the barren lands yielded abundant crops.

A look of disgust appeared on Heber's face.

The Path of the Fox belongs to the Law of Cups, which is the source of fertility, drowning, pain, temptation, and of course, also has the intention of hope, abundance, enjoyment and satisfaction.

Heber's understanding of the Law of the Cup deepened day by day, and it was for this reason that she knew that the grand ceremony arranged by Ashiya Doman must have withdrawn something in advance, which was why it could bring about hypocritical results.

——If you want to take, you must first give.

As expected, according to Chiyome Mochizuki's narration, in the next five years, the stable climate in the East began to become disturbed, natural disasters occurred frequently, and sea beasts began to frequently invade the land.

Under such circumstances, Ashiya Doman took the initiative to apologize and said that he was willing to go to various places in the east on behalf of the general to pray for blessings, quell disasters, and regulate the water and soil.

The general did not completely trust Ashiya Doman, but ordered the priests and shrine maidens of Inari Taisha Shrine and Takachiho Hachijuku Shrine to accompany him, and Mochizuki Chiyome was one of them.

The Yokai Forest, Mount Kurama, Mount Takachiho, the old site of Mount Oe, and finally Kyoto Castle.

These places are connected to each other, forming a pentagram with inverted corners. In Yin-Yang Taoism, this is a structure called the reverse Kikyo seal, which is the opposite of Abe Haruaki's Kikyo seal.

Heber looked at the place names marked by Chiyo Mochizuki and realized that the barrier of the Monster Forest was destroyed early in the future, which must be closely related to Ashiya Michiman.

She didn't know what had happened to Ashiya Doman over the past few hundred years, but there was no doubt that this man had become her enemy.

And Chiyome Mochizuki's narration continues.

"Master Doman went deep into the mountains and met with the Dragon of Takachiho." Regret and fear appeared on Mochizuki Chiyome's face, and her voice trembled. "I didn't dare to get close. I only saw him talking to the Dragon God... and then, and then—"

"Then the Dragon God let out an extremely terrifying and furious roar, soaring into the air from the mountain, riding the wind and thunder towards Kyoto City."

"I gave my all in pursuit, but when I returned to Kyoto, I saw the river run red, the land a swamp, and blood raining from the sky—then the sky turned to night, and Chang'an rose from the ground and soared into the clouds."

The general slew the body of Takachiho's dragon, and with its immense life force, the Waxing Moon Ceremony was activated.

The most ironic thing is that the general probably held back.

Otherwise, under such severe restraint, it would be impossible for Miss Aaron to still have a spiritual body.

What happened next is as the world knows - Master Doman was killed by the Shogun, and the Shogun himself was disheartened and sank into meditation in the deepest part of the Hana no Gosho.

Either she is escaping from herself or torturing herself.

The bright full moon always quietly watches the city of Kyoto hanging in the sky.

"Two idiots..." Heber whispered.

East Country Volume】⑦??*貳傘０亡?九企彡死: 122 Hebe's Fated Enemy [Eris]

If there were one word to describe Heber's current feelings, it would be absurd.

She called A-Long and the general idiots, somewhat venting her anger. The general's intelligence remained mostly intact, and he remained undeterred by Ashiya Doman's three slanders. It wasn't until Ashiya Doman unveiled his decades-long plan that he finally took the plunge.

And Aaron—she had never been very smart.
