Dedicate cubes to the end of the world

"Oh, is this a slippery ghost? Well done, Rikuo," Senju nodded, but this also gave him an insight into the methods of fighting monsters here. In other worlds, the most important thing for monsters is to accumulate The demon power develops the magic, but here it mainly relies on the characteristics formed by the legend of the monster to fight.

"Who are you? Why are you doing this?!" Lu Sheng gasped violently on the side. The long sword of Qianju changed for a while, and then turned into a tattered knife. "Lu Sheng, it's just that I want to Just do it, and those who are powerless should bear it silently!"

"Damn it! If I wasn't a half-demon!" Lu Sheng hammered the ground, Qianshou shook his head, and slowly accumulated strength, "Half-demon, then I'll let you feel the power of a half-demon!"

Then Lu Sheng saw a red-clothed and white-haired dog demon boy appearing behind the boy with glasses opposite him. The boy was wielding a huge knife, "Take the move! Wind Wound!"

"Mirror Shisui·Fire Slash!" Lu Sheng seemed to have understood something. In Qianju's eyes, his figure was blurred, and the knife in his hand appeared with blue flames.

Then came the confrontation between the storm and the flames. Senju watched calmly from the side. Rikuo was fighting with Inuyasha's phantom there, but there were people watching the battle. Yakumo Purple appeared in Senju's body. Next to him, "Senju-sama, do you think highly of this little guy?"

"Yes, don't look at him like this. He is also a protagonist. He has luck and can be cultivated." Senju nodded slightly, then looked at Yakumo Murasaki, "Have you gained anything here?"

"Well, I learned a little bit, but the monsters here are not suitable for living in Gensokyo. They like to fight too much. Gensokyo does not welcome such monsters." Yakumo Murasaki shook her head slightly, "Besides, they Their power relies too much on humans, and there aren’t that many people in Gensokyo to fear them.”

"Does each world have its own characteristics? But I feel that the monsters here are the most similar to those in Gensokyo." Senju shook his head with regret, "But it's a pity that you didn't like them."

"Well, after all, there is really no shortage of youkai in Gensokyo now. Any ordinary youkai will be fine," Yakumo Murasaki smiled and shook her head, "Although the slick one is more interesting, it's a pity that he has too much fighting spirit. If he goes there, he will It’s a turmoil.”

"That's it, it's up to you," Qianju shrugged. What a fighting spirit. Aren't their daily lives just fighting? !Looking at Yakumo Murasaki who was sitting on the side, "By the way, are you going to go back later or what are you doing?"

"Well, after seeing these monsters, I have no interest in the monsters in this world." Yakumo Murasaki took a sip of wine, "We will go back later, but Senju-sama, you seem to be out of touch with the origin of the world. ah?"

"That's true. The origin of the world has really helped us a lot." Senju nodded, and then looked at Yakumo Murasaki seriously, "Before, the connection between me and the origin was too tight, to the point where both were prosperous and both suffered losses. To the point where it has become an obstacle on the road to spiritual practice, so I give it up for the time being, Zi, and you will understand in the future."

"Is that so?" Yakumo Murasaki shook her head aside, "I still don't quite understand Senju-sama's realm, but as a realm monster, I can't abandon the world."

"Well, although the world has created the realm, you can also use the realm to create the world." Qianju smiled casually, "Just like the creation of Gensokyo, you can also use the power of realm to create a new world outside the world. world."

"Opening up the world, it's a little unimaginable," Yakumo Murasaki shook her head slightly, although opening up the world

She can do it in time, but it is still difficult for her to open up a complete world with the power of realm, and it is difficult for her to create a world independent of the world by relying on the origin of the world.

"Well, to open up the world, it should be to control this dimension." Qianju smiled slightly. He has a natural advantage in this. "Well, according to what you said, it is to find yourself in different worlds and unify them. , the final integration, how is the progress of that going?"

"Well, it's a little difficult. There are so many worlds, and it's hard to find 'me'." Yakumo Murasaki shook her head slightly, then looked to the side, "It seems that this little brat has reached this point."

"After all, I haven't gone through much training, so this is good enough," Senju shook his head slightly as he looked at Rikuo who was shattered by the blast. "Okay, let's leave too."

Then the space darkened, and then slowly disappeared. Senju outside also opened his eyes. Yakumo Murasaki above was still smiling and smiling, while Rikuo on the side slapped her fiercely. The table stood up, "Everyone!"

It's a pity that the bustle around them blocked the loud noise, but Bingli next to her heard it, and then she looked at Lu Sheng and was completely stunned, "Young Master, you?"

"Sandaime, it seems that you have grown up a little bit," Ushiuki nodded while looking at Rikuo's image, while several classmates next to him looked at all this in surprise, "Rikuo? Are you Rikuo? Mr. It looks familiar, where have I seen it?”

"Huh? Everyone? What happened just now?!" The demonized Lu Sheng looked at the scene around him in confusion. It was still lively here, and there was no such destructive scene around him. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and sat down. When he got to the ground, he said, "Is everyone okay? It's great."

"Young Master, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?" Bingli asked curiously, and Lu Sheng hugged her, "It's okay. You guys are okay. It's really great. Bingli, it's okay. alright."

Chapter 380 Drunkness and the End

"Young Master?!" Bingli's face turned red immediately, and her sharp voice immediately attracted everyone's attention. Then a group of people whistled at this direction, and Bingli hurriedly broke away from Lu Sheng's arms and ran away. The classmates next to him looked at Lu Sheng blankly, "We remembered, it turns out you were the one who saved us before, Lu Sheng!"

"That's not me, I'm not," Lu Sheng hurriedly covered his face. The carp partner over there laughed loudly, "Lu Sheng, aren't you more presentable now? Wakana, thank you for your hard work."

"No, this is Rikuo's own efforts," Nura Wakana said happily on the side. In the middle of the fight, Yura, who was drunk and fighting, stepped on the kicked monster, and then swayed this way. Come over, "Ah, there are new monsters, let me destroy them!"

"Yandere?!" Looking at Yura, who was walking towards this side with a smile while carrying a flask of wine, Senju thought such a word in his mind. It would be more like this if the flask was replaced by a hatchet. , but the drunk Yuro was very powerful. With a flash of his feet, he was in Lu Sheng's arms and poked his chest, "Hey, Lu Sheng, you are a monster, how about you let me destroy you?" ?”

"Yuluo-san, you are drunk. Let go of Rikuo-san quickly," several classmates nearby quickly persuaded, but Yuluo didn't listen at all. "The monsters must be destroyed, burp~"

"Wow, you smell so heavy. How much have you drunk?" Rikuo shouted, but Yuro was holding him tightly and he couldn't break free. Yuro was still biting, "It hurts so much." ! Yuluo, you are drunk!"

"I'm not drunk, monster, why are you so gentle? Monsters should all be bad!" Yura muttered, and slowly fell asleep in Riku Sheng's arms. Riku Sheng looked at all this and smiled bitterly, and then looked Looking at the classmates next to him, "Kana-san, Yura-san, I'll leave it to you."

"Oh," the surrounding youkai finished their whistles and went to drink again. Rikuo sat next to Senju and Gyuki again, "Aizen-sama, what on earth was that just now?"

"Are you awake?" Qianju brought him a glass of wine, "That is an illusion, one of the thousands of spells I possess, but the moves in it are real. The one I am fighting with you, It's a half-demon named Inuyasha, well, you can fight like that with one-tenth of his strength, which is pretty good."

"Is it just one-tenth of the power?" Ushiki was a little disappointed. Senju shook his head, "Well, it can't be calculated like that. Inuyasha's father is a big monster in the Western Kingdom. He has a demon sword in his hand, Iron Shark Fang, and with a wave You can kill hundreds of monsters, it’s normal that Rikuo can’t defeat him, after all, you haven’t trained him.”

"Western Country? I haven't heard of any famous big monsters there," Niugui frowned and Senshou waved his hand, "That's normal. Because of the Four Souls Jade, that period of history was erased."

"Erase?" Lu Sheng was confused for a moment, Qianju nodded, "After all, the Four Souls Jade can completely turn a half-demon into a monster, but the price is to completely sink into darkness, and it consumes too many souls. , so we completely eliminated them and liberated all souls."

"Is there such a treasure?" Niu Gui glanced at Lu Sheng, who shook his head quickly, "I don't need that! I'm in good condition now!"

"That's right, the Jade of Four Souls no longer exists. No matter what you do,

It can't be found, and if someone does use it, they will be our enemy. The worst is to erase history again." Qianju smiled and condensed a virtual flash on his fingertips, which made Niu Gui sweat. He stopped and said, "Indeed, Lu Sheng doesn't need that, he is already very presentable now! "

"That's right. Bloodline comes from your parents. Don't change it at will." Qianju blew out the ball of light on his fingertips. "There are many ways to increase your strength. Rikuo will definitely become stronger in the future."

"Well, no, I don't need to increase my strength." Lu Sheng waved his hands hurriedly, turning back into a human form. Qianju shrugged, "It will be too late by the time you want the strength, well, but this has nothing to do with it. I have nothing to do with drinking and drinking.”

"Master Lu Sheng," Gyuuki looked at Lu Sheng and shook his head slightly, "Sir Aizen is right. When you need power, it's already too late. If I had this power in the past, I wouldn't. ..”

"No, you don't need mine now," Rikuo said with a wry smile as he looked at Ushiuki who was lost in memories. Then he looked at Aizen who seemed to have nothing happened, and he couldn't help but smile again. Today's events are always a bit inexplicable, but it would be nice if his father came back. The heavy responsibility of the Nura Group cannot be placed on him for the time being, but Senju's words still planted a seed in his heart.

The banquet went on for an unknown amount of time, and it was finally time to end. Seeing several girls helping/carrying their companions out, everyone in the Nura group had tears in their eyes. They looked very excited. After all, they had just learned about our family. More than a month's food reserves have been eaten up by the guests this time. It's great to see them off now!

Moreover, there was Marisa who was eating and taking food in the middle. Several monsters wanted to ask for an explanation, but they were beaten down by Reimu, who had been promised an equal share. Huaxia also had a helpless smile, and there was actually someone in the house of Hua Tuogui. We ate, drank, and took things, but the people and monsters on the opposite side were so strong that all the monsters in the fight were easily defeated by the other side.

Especially the smiling Yakumo Murasaki, who can actually use the legendary nine-tailed fox as a shikigami. That is a monster stronger than the Hagoromo Fox, the legendary Tamamo Mae!She must be a super monster. He has never seen such a strong guy before, and through his observation, it seems that there are many such strong guys over there. Gensokyo is a more hidden and scarier place than Tono. ah!

"Then, everyone, let's take our leave first," Yakumo Purple said, and drew a line in the air, and then a gap appeared over there. Everyone walked in, and the people of the Nura group looked at the gap full of eyes. I shuddered, there seemed to be a lot of bad things in it.

"Senju, this is for the little girl." Reimu, who was standing inside, threw out a small box. He looked at the box in his hand. Senju was silent for a moment. If he read correctly, there was a Nura-gumi on it. As for the coat of arms, is my organization really so poor?

"Okay, I'll give it to her," Senju nodded, and looked inside again. It was a piece of paper pulled from somewhere, with some random runes scrawled on it. However, Reimu tried too hard. , a charm inside can kill all the monsters here.

Chapter 380: Night of Monsters

The people on the opposite side waved their hands, and the gap was closed. Yakumo Purple also controlled the passage to and from here. Senju knew that Yakumo Purple would definitely sneak over to inspect again, but Senju didn't care about this. of.

"Lord Aizen, please attend our group's meeting tomorrow to discuss things about the Hagoromo Fox." Watching the beautiful monsters leave, Li Ban nodded to Senju, who shook his head, "No, I’d better not participate, I’ll leave the fight against the Hagoromo Fox to you, if I interfere, everything will be too boring.”

"Boring?" Li Ban was confused for a moment, Qian Shu nodded and said casually, "Yes, I have been killing and killing in hell for a long time. I came out to relax after listening to what my senior said, so I got it done in one go. The mission would be such a waste of this opportunity.”

"Is that so? I understand," Li Ban shook his head, while Qian Shu stretched his waist, "Okay, if there is nothing else I can do in the end, I will take action. Now, I will go out to play for a while. Goodbye Sora."

After saying that, Senju flew out directly. After the bustle here for a while, the little monsters dispersed, and then Kiyoko Kiyoshi ran out of the house, "Youkai, where is the monster?!"

"It's really effective," several classmates looked on helplessly, but they also learned a lot. After chatting with Sanae and the others, they learned a lot, especially Huiyin, who let them know a lot about protecting against monsters. The simple way.

"Do you know? I just had a very effective dream." After searching for a while and finding nothing, Kiyoshiki Kiyosugu was the only one there. These few people talked about the dream they had just had, but Several people didn't listen to the words of the chattering classmate Kiyosugu. Instead, they patted Kiyosugu's shoulders with pity, and then went into the room one after another to rest.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't believe it," Kiyosugu shouted there, and then grabbed Rikuo Sheng, "Rikusheng, there are a lot of monsters in your house, right? Tell me the truth!"

"Haha, how is that possible? We are just ordinary people," Lu Sheng laughed dryly, still refusing to admit it. Kiyoshiji Kiitsugu was very puzzled, "It's strange, I clearly remember seeing a lot of monsters. Yeah, but why is it missing?!”

Regardless of the situation here

Besides, Senju was slowly walking around the city at night. But how can I put it, in the city at night, there were many monsters opening their doors for business, and the flags of the Nura-gumi were hanging on them, but the scope of business was a bit subtle. , Well, it can be regarded as an 'entertainment business', Qianju thought that if those succubi came to open a store here, it would definitely be a big hit.

Looking at those monsters that were just transformed into human forms, Senju was not interested in going in to take a look. Their transformation skills were too poor. Although the transformation skills of the surrounding monster guests were also equally poor, people could tell they were monsters at a glance.

However, the demon power is more active at night, which prevents ordinary people from seeing the monsters, so those scary-looking monsters are walking casually on the street, but no one notices them.

Of course, there are many lurking monsters in the alleys of the shadows, waiting for humans who accidentally enter to collect fear. However, after looking at a few alleys with corpses, Senju felt a little unhappy. Behind him Several phantoms slowly floated out, "Go and hunt those murderous monsters!"

Several phantoms then flew towards the shadows, and then there was a burst of screams, which then subsided. Then Qianju was speechless and found that a trace of fear was wrapped around him. The power of this world was still there. It's really strange, blood and people's hearts.

After all, aren't those monsters the manifestation of the phenomenon that people are afraid of? But it's really weird that this kind of manifestation can be passed down as blood, and then condense power again through people's fear. Is this a variant of belief?

But maybe Senju's aura has been restrained too well. There are actually a few monsters on the roadside trying to recruit Senju. However, looking at the monsters holding flyers in front of him, Senju wants to complain slightly. Sure enough, they are foxes, mice or something. Fine!

Ignoring the hard-working little monster, Qianju walked around slowly, and then came to the conclusion that there were many more monsters here than he thought, but they were also much weaker than he thought. Although these were the most Weak monsters are not something ordinary people can deal with.

"Sure enough, human beings are still afraid of the things they are afraid of." Shaking his head, Qianju also glanced at the 'cowherds' on the roadside. The shells were transformed very well, but unfortunately they were just big rats. Ah, they are whispering on the roadside, they don't look like they are working at all.

After listening casually, Qianju realized that these were also members of the old rat group. They were worried about the group leader and senior officials being captured, and were afraid that this matter would involve them.

It's a pity that they don't have to worry about this. Feeling the bloody resentment on their bodies, Qianju waved his hand and evaporated them, and then Qianju continued to wander around.

After one night, Qianju had accumulated a lot of fear. The main concept above was the concept of hunting monsters. Qianju took off this layer of fear and pinched it, turning it into a hunter. As for the appearance of a monster that kills evil monsters, Senju chose the image of an ordinary middle-aged man, and his weapons are two monster pistols.

"Go, demon hunter," Qianju nodded, and then the newly born monster slowly walked out, and the sun was slowly rising. As the sun rose in the morning, the floating monster The energy is slowly disappearing, and the monsters are lurking again.

Senju also came to the Nura-gumi's mansion, but the Nura-gumi was indeed the Nura-gumi. Contrary to the normal schedule of monsters, they had just woken up during the day when most monsters were lurking.

"Where am I?!" Onmyoji Yura also woke up at the same time. Lying in bed, she looked at the roof blankly, and then slowly remembered the ridiculous things last night, and her face became hot. Then he sat up suddenly and said, "Damn monster, how dare you confuse me!"

Then she heard a slight breathing sound next to her. She looked to the side and realized that there were several classmates beside her. "Wake up, everyone, we are running away!"

"Huhu," several girls next to him were still sleeping soundly. Then Youluo smelled a strange smell. After smelling it carefully, he realized that it was coming from him. "It's bad. I drank last night. I What should I do?!"

"Damn you monster!" Yuro passed the responsibility to others, but she was a little curious. She heard from her brother that it would be very uncomfortable after drinking, but now she feels very good, and her mental strength is more than twice as high as usual. , is he the god of wine? !

Chapter 380 Three Youluo Pojun

Just when she was trying the onmyoji and was surprised, there was a knock on the door outside, and the snow girl Bingli pushed the door open and came in, "Yuluo-san, are you awake?"

"Ah, Oikawa-san, I'm sorry, eh? No, you're a monster Yuki-onna!" Yura was thanking you respectfully, but something didn't feel right when he shouted. He stood up and wanted to pounce on her, but then he tripped over the quilt and fell down. On the ground, "Damn monster, how dare you tease me like this!"

"No, no, no, you tripped and fell on your own," Bingli chuckled and waved her hand, and then reminded, "Yuluo-san, I'm here to inform you of something. The Nidaime-sama ordered that today Nura Please be sure to attend the meeting of the group.”

"Why should I listen to youkai?!" Yura shouted dissatisfied, and Hingrei replied seriously, "The Nidaime-sama has ordered that the Hagoromo Kitsune is the common enemy of the Nura group and the Hanakaiin family. As Hanakain, Yuluo, the onmyoji of the Kaiyuan family, needs to know the relevant information so that the family can be prepared."

"Hmph, then let me see what tricks the monster has up its sleeve," Yuluo looked at Bingli seriously there, "In the name of the Huakaiyuan family,

Yi, if I find out that you lied to me, I will definitely destroy you. "

"Well, if you can do it, huh huh," Bingli chuckled, "Also, Yuluo-san, when you are talking, stand up and you will be more powerful."

"Needless to say, I know, get out, monster," Yuluo suddenly raised his head, his face flushed, but he still lay on the ground and raised his head seriously and said, Bingli stepped back with a smile, "Then, just wait. I’m looking forward to you, by the way, Yuro-san, breakfast will start soon!”

"Damn it," Yuluo touched his belly and quickly put on his clothes. The girls next to him also woke up. After everyone was confused for a moment, they remembered where they were. After their expressions became strange, they went to find a place to dress up. Dressed up.

Seeing their leisurely looks, Yuro was helpless. After she tidied up a little, she started exercising in the yard. When the monsters saw it, they all fled away. After practicing for a while, Yuro felt like something was hitting her head. After pausing for a while, he looked up and saw a smiling person on the roof. "Classmate Yuluo, are you practicing very diligently? Come up here. Someone asked me to bring you a gift."

"How is it possible to go up there! I'm not a monster!" Yuro was hopping below. Her attitude towards Senju was much better. Senju shrugged and jumped down from above, "Little girl, I don't have enough physical strength. Aren't normal onmyojis able to fight monsters at close range, fight spells with monsters from a distance, and summon hundreds of shikigami at a time?"

"No, no, no, there is no such kind of onmyoji." Yuro looked at Senju with dead fish eyes. Senju shook his head and raised his fist, "This is not possible. The onmyojis in the past were just for fun beating monsters. Yes, how useful is spiritual power alone? Once the spiritual power is exhausted, do you just surrender?"

"..." Yura was still speechless, while Senju clapped his hands, and a row of wooden stakes rose up in the yard, and then he clenched his fists, "Look, spiritual power can still be used like this!"

Then Senju showed her the unique skill of punching and smashing wooden stakes into pieces, and Yura on the side looked helplessly, "The Hanakaiyuan family also has such a school, which uses Yang energy to strengthen muscles, but my talent He is mentally strong and is not used to this method at all.”

"Huh? Is there any? Forget it," Senju was surprised and looked at Yuro. Is this a special student? Then Senju threw the box to her, "But you are very weak. Here, This is the talisman that Reimu left for you, please keep it well."

"Senior Hakurei's gift?" Yuro took the hand and felt the surging spiritual power inside slowly pouring into her body. This was a power she had never felt before. After opening the box, she was shocked. "It's actually a charm?!"

It seems that she was also conquered by this rough spell. Qianju nodded, "Yes, don't look at this casually, but you can also feel the spiritual power contained in it. It is much stronger than those shikigami of yours." ”

"Well, it's hundreds of times stronger than my shikigami," Yuro said, then picked up one and pointed it at the room next to him, shaking it intimidatingly, "If it weren't for... I would..."

"..." Qianju was speechless for a moment, what if it wasn't? !However, Qianju still had to remind her a little, "Although the spells there are powerful, they contain rules called 'spell cards', and they release large-scale barrages. You must be careful when using them."

"I know," Yuro nodded, shaking the talisman paper in his hand towards Senju, "After touching the talisman paper, I understood the spell contained in it. This is a double barrier, this is flying, This is..."

"Okay, no need to introduce them one by one," Qianju waved his hand to stop Yuluo who was serious, "However, don't think about these talismans in the future, and don't give up on your own practice. These are the last resort. use."

"I understand," Youluo nodded seriously, and then said happily, "My cultivation level seems to have improved a lot. I can even use the forbidden techniques inherited from my family!"

"Pojun?" Qianju's eyes were a little subtle. He was now the god of death, and now someone said in front of him that he wanted to summon the dead souls. "It is indeed a good skill."

"Ah? How did you know?!" Youluo was shocked there, Qianju rolled his eyes, "You have forgotten where I came from. The principle of Pojun is to summon the undead spirits of the ancestors of the Hanakaiyuan family back to this world. Ah, as a god of death, I know best."

"Ah, that's right," Youluo was shocked for a moment before nodding. Qianju wanted to see the difference between this and the reincarnation of the dirty land, so he encouraged him, "Try it and see Po Jun Now that you have reached such a powerful level, don’t you still want to attend the meeting of the Nura Group? There are many ungrateful monsters there, so it’s a good idea to use this to scare them.”

"That makes sense," Yuro, who was fooled by Senju, nodded repeatedly and posed there, "I will definitely defeat the Lord of Monsters and become a qualified Onmyoji!"

"The lord of monsters is too worthless," Qianju complained silently, and then felt that Yuluo's spiritual power was resonating with the underworld. A special passage opened from there, and then a person appeared around him. Circle the talisman paper, "Shikigami Pojun!"

Then a bunch of skulls with blue flames appeared around them. They were all wearing white onmyoji costumes. Qianju nodded, with a very understanding look, "Not bad, in the spells related to the underworld. It is very useful, but it requires

It would be great if you can borrow all your power. When you summon all the ancestor souls to be like this one, it will be considered a success. "

Chapter 380 Four Xiuyuan

"Ah?!" Youluo was surprised for a while. He turned around and saw that there was a smiling Onmyoji behind a pile of bones. "Hey, was this summoned by me? There was nothing like this when I tried it before. Ah, is it really because your cultivation level has increased?"

"Oh, talented little girl, are you the one who summoned me?" the only Pojun shikigami who kept his human form said with a smile, and then he looked around, "But the evil spirit here is It's very thick, oh, this sign, isn't this the nuruyo group of the naughty ghost? It seems that the relationship between monsters and onmyoji has become better."

"No, it's because of many reasons," Youluo said stubbornly, but at this time, an old figure appeared next to him, "Oh, I didn't expect that after 400 years, we can still see him. What about you, Xiuyuan."

"Oh? So you are a slippery ghost?" Onmyoji Xiuyuan turned around and looked at you, his eyes lit up, "But your appearance has changed a lot from 400 years ago."

"You haven't changed at all. What kind of trick did you play?" Hua Laiao snorted, "If I remember correctly, you have been dead for 400 years, and the way you look now, hum!"

"Well, don't worry about this," Xiuyuan covered his mouth and chuckled, then looked at Qianju, "By the way, who is this?"

"This is Lord Aizen Soyousuke, the god of death from the other side of the world," Hua Piao glared at Xiu Yuan, "I ran out of hell and was caught."

"God of Death?!" Xiuyuan was surprised for a moment, and then looked at Qianju with a curious expression, "I did feel a powerful spiritual energy, but I have never seen it over there. Could it be because he has been sleeping all the time? s reason?"

"Well, it's normal that we haven't encountered one," Qianju shrugged. "If a soul like yours is discovered, we will recruit you to become a god of death. Excellent souls are not common."
