In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

In the empty space of the trunk, the girl, who had combed all her messy black hair neatly behind her head, was wearing a tight-fitting long white dress.

Her pale face was so delicate that she looked like a doll made of TPE. She sat tightly in the corner of the car with her legs curled up, as if this could give her more sense of security.

At first glance, she looks like a gloomy beauty with social anxiety.

The size of Hiyabo has become one size larger, and its dress is indigo blue. It looks more like a smaller version of a little person than the Sunny Doll.

The two Shikigami noticed Uesugi Tetsu's gaze.

Nu Nu curled up even tighter, trying to pretend that she didn't see it and get away with it.

Hiyabo first drew a heart in the air, and then took the hand of the very reluctant Nunv and made a heart shape towards Uesugi Tetsu.

Look how sensible other people’s Shikigami is!

On the other hand, Lord Erchi only knew how to suck the tail of the four-tailed fox after he transformed into one, and he refused to change despite repeated warnings.

Uesugi Tetsu smiled, turned around and asked, "Nanjo-sister, what paths do your Shikigami follow?"

Nanjo Aimi closed her eyes and a faint voice came,

"Life Contract, a relatively rare method. Their breakthrough is highly dependent on me, so they don't need much external assistance."

"—Once I break through, it will be easy for them to break through naturally."

Nanjo Aimi: "But at the same time, if anything happens to them, I will also suffer corresponding very serious consequences."

As soon as these words came out, Uesugi Tetsu understood why Nanjo Aimi said that fewer people took this path.

Because for the vast majority of Onmyoji, the loss of Shikigami is common and almost inevitable.

The example of the Shikigami contracted at the beginning accompanying the Onmyoji to the end is not only very common, but also unique.

Because from the very beginning, the purpose of Onmyoji's contract with Shikigami was to allow the Shikigami to do things that he himself could not do or was inconvenient to do.

At critical moments, it is common for Onmyoji to control Shikigami to resist fatal injuries.

——But I won’t let that happen.

Uesugi Tetsu nodded and released Nishaku-sama from the Ksitigarbha statue.

"Master Erchi, go play with them too..."

"Poppo!"

As soon as he appeared, Nishaku-sama shrank tightly into Uesugi Tetsu's arms as if his hair had exploded.

She buried her face, trembling all over,

"Pooh! Lord Che, where is this place? Why are there so many scary auras?"

Uesugi Che blinked in surprise. It was the first time he saw Nishaku-sama so scared.

Wasn't she quite calm when I met the Snow Girl before?

He gently patted the white hat on the girl's head and said, "Don't be afraid. We are all friendly troops around here."

Friendly forces?

The two-foot-tall lady huddled up her little head and first saw the wet girl staring at her silently with dim eyes.

Then she lowered her head and felt the gazes everywhere in the car. It was a deep shadow that was constantly surging and seemed ready to swallow her up at any time.

These...are these all friendly forces?

Nishaku-sama chuckled dryly twice, and then saw the small Hiyabo slowly float in front of her, emitting a warm glow.

"Hello." Hiyabo said in a not very standard way.

This, this is a friendly army!

After watching Ershaku-sama being half-heartedly dragged away by Hiyabo to join the rock-paper-scissors team building, Uesugi Tetsu leaned back and took a rare nap.

The atmosphere in the trunk was lively, except for a dark, obscure gaze emanating from the surging shadows in the car.

"You're already so old, and you're still playing kiddie games with Hiyabo...it's so cheap."

The shadow girl snorted coldly, but couldn't look away.

……

A suburb of Tsuzuki Ward, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture.

Several hours passed in a flash.

Uesugi Tetsu walked out of the van with Nishikuni-sama and heard Nanjo Aimi's dazed voice coming from the passenger seat.

"Call me anytime if there's a problem. I'll be there as soon as possible."

"OK OK."

Saying goodbye to Nanjo Aimi, who was on another mission, Uesugi Tetsu tapped the head of the two-foot-tall man beside him and said with a sullen face, "You're actually teaching two underage Shikigami how to play cards! You're so smart!"

Just when Uesugi Che opened his eyes, he heard noises like "three with one" and "king bomb" coming from behind. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he found that Nishaku-sama, Nunv, and Xiaorihefang were playing Landlord.

If we leave it alone any longer, will we have to go to the bar for team building in a couple of days?

"Because rock-paper-scissors is so boring, and I just happened to see a deck of cards nearby..."

Just as Nishaku-sama was about to admit his mistake, he saw the towering temple gate not far away and a plaque with the three big characters "Honganji" written on it.

"Po!" Erchi-sama hugged Uesugi Che's thigh and sobbed, "Master Che, I was wrong, po, I will never do such a thing again, please don't punish me..."

In the strange stories about Hachishaku-sama, it is indeed written that the protagonist was sent to a temple and barely escaped Hachishaku-sama's pursuit.

It seems that Nishaku-sama is particularly afraid of things related to "Buddha". This is also a common flaw of ghost stories, which are restricted by the ghost stories that created them.

Uesugi Che couldn't help but worry whether the tablet she placed there could absorb the incense and source power normally.

Picking up the crying lady, Uesugi Tetsu took some time to explain the reason to her.

Then the 2-foot master's crying stopped. "Then will I be able to carry the Buddha's light with me in the future, and from time to time appear through the tablet, and bestow blessings on those children..."

Uesugi Tetsu slashed down with a knife, interrupting her words: "Forbidden!"

Erchi Lord smiled bitterly, tugged at the corner of his clothes and said coquettishly, "I'm just talking. Now that we have Lord Che by our side, how could we possibly be interested in those other ugly girls?"

Uesugi Che sneered, knowing exactly what Lord Erchi was thinking.

When he arrived at the gate of Honganji Temple, Uesugi Tetsu saw the stone lions standing majestically and solemnly on both sides of the gate.

The two stone lions' mouths open and close, their pupils are as big as copper bells, and every pattern is vivid, symbolizing "Ah Wu's breathing", which seems to imply that life lies between breaths.

Similar to lions, foxes, etc., they are common animals in front of Japanese temples and shrines.

That's why Uesugi Tetsu was surprised by the two stone sculptures of cats placed in front of the door in Edo Castle - he had never heard of cats being placed at the door.

Uesugi Tetsu walked forward and gently knocked on the door cymbals twice, making a crisp sound of metal clashing.

Soon, two young monks in robes pushed open the heavy temple door with great effort, and subconsciously showed joy when they saw Uesugi Tetsu.

The two young novices asked in unison,

"Excuse me, are you the donor Uesugi Tetsu?"

"it's me."

Seeing the little monk's gaze shift to Nishaku-sama, Uesugi Tetsu immediately said: "This is my Shikigami. This time I came here for her."

The two wary glances vanished as the words fell. The young monk nodded and extended his hand towards the depths of the temple. "Senior Brother Huijue has already informed the elders and the abbot. Donor Uesugi can just follow us."

"——Big Brother said that although the tablet is in a remote place, it is sufficient for the donor's Shikigami."

"So good."

Uesugi Tetsu smiled and nodded, holding the slightly trembling hand of Nishaku-sama and walked into Honganji Temple, stepping onto the clean and tidy stone steps.

The temple is not very large, apparently because it was built in a small place like Tsuzuki Ward in Yokohama City. They knew that there would not be many pilgrims coming, so the buildings were proportionally reduced in size.

But even so, it was a bit strange that there was no one in the temple except the monks and novices who were hurrying around.

Uesugi Tetsu asked a question.

One of the young novice monks slowed down his pace, clasped his hands together, and pointed with a smile towards the Amitabha Hall in the distance. "Donor, please understand. Today, a demon has been imprisoned inside by several of my masters and brothers in an attempt to subdue it. Therefore, the temple gate has not been opened."

Uesugi Che held his breath and listened, and found that there were indeed continuous old sounds such as "Om Mani Padma" coming from the Amitabha Hall.

He remembered what Huijue said to him before they set out: "My fellow disciples may be in some trouble."

But now it seems that I don't need to do anything about this so-called "trouble".

"I see." Uesugi Tetsu slowed down his pace. "If placing the tablet will disturb those masters from exorcising demons, I can do my thing later."

Another young monk waved his hands, "No, no, it's just a little demon. It's been acting arrogantly for a few days, relying on its magical powers. This time, with the combined efforts of the six elders of our temple, we will be able to easily suppress it."

The six elders attacked together...

Could it be that the one imprisoned in that hall is a three-star or even four-star demon?

The corner of Uesugi Che's mouth twitched, and he slightly quickened his pace - Huijue really thought highly of him, and dared to entrust such a thing to him when they met for the first time.

If the six elders accidentally fail to hold on, the big demon will come out and he will use its head to subdue it.

Unfortunately it backfired.

Before Uesugi Tetsu followed the little monk to the Goei Hall where the memorial tablet was placed, the sound of the six-syllable mantra in the Amitabha Hall on the other side became more and more intense.

The Buddhist sound had already rushed out of the hall and was echoing throughout the entire temple, but the emotional fluctuations contained within seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.

Just as Uesugi Tetsu had a bad premonition in his heart, he saw the door of Amitabha Hall explode with a bang, and several old bodies in robes flew out!

The two little monks stared blankly over there, as if they had not yet realized what was happening.

Uesugi Che's scalp tingled, and he immediately wanted to put away Erchisama and run out of the temple - how could he control a vicious monster that several Buddhist masters could not suppress?

But before he could take a step to escape, Uesugi Tetsu looked at several "Buddhist masters" with some confusion.

——Why do these masters not seem as strong as imagined?

He leaned forward and looked inside the Amitabha Hall again.

——No, why is the spiritual power fluctuation coming from inside less than two stars?

I went out today, sorry for not writing 8k

But I still ask for a monthly ticket!

Because I will do it again tomorrow!

Chapter 118: Bai Prajna's Promotion Item, Hina's Curse

Are these old men in cassocks really Buddhist masters?

Uesugi Tetsu looked around several times and had a conversation with Lord Ershaku.

Then he discovered that the three masters who flew out of the Amitabha Hall, although seriously injured, did not seem to be extremely weak due to exhaustion of spiritual power.

It's more like his physical strength or spiritual power fluctuations have not reached one star at all.

But the two young monks beside him cried out in shock after seeing the faces of the three old men.

"Uncle Xuanji!"

"Elder Huideng!"

"Master Kukai!"

Uesugi Che showed a subtle expression - the Buddhist names of these three people sounded like those of some enlightened monks who lived in seclusion in the mountains, and were ghost-like figures who could suppress big demons with just one move.

It turned out that the strongest one could only barely touch the edge of one star, which could be called "half-star peak perfection".

The monk Kūkai, who was wearing a bright red cassock and had the strongest aura, looked at the young monk with difficulty, spat out a mouthful of blood, and murmured slowly,

"Hui Ming... go tell everyone to escape, quickly! We're no match for this humanoid demon!"

The young monk named Huiming was stunned for a moment, then looked into the depths of the hall and found that several elders were still holding on. However, if they continued like this, they would inevitably be defeated one by one.

"This……"

Huiming clenched his fists hesitantly.

After more than ten seconds of careful observation, Uesugi Tetsu finally confirmed the true identity of the demon that was wreaking havoc in Amida Hall.

——[Official woman form (one and a half stars)]

When Uesugi Che saw this prompt for the first time, he even suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes.
