Chapter 30: Strange Spell

"To sum up the above, I think that as long as we find the center of the Suizhi Spiritual Vein, we can find the evil spirit."

After some discussion, all the generals and ministers agreed with Cong Yu's opinion.

He was indeed wrong. If the entire spiritual vein was occupied by the evil spirit, then the place should be barren, with vultures flying around and the swamp mud full of poisonous insects. This would be more in line with the style of the painting.

In addition, the aura of the evil spirit underground only passed by quickly, so using the spiritual veins to move is indeed a more reasonable idea.

However, all the gods and generals still had a question.

After all, if the evil spirit can enter and exit the spiritual vein at will, it would be strange to leave the spiritual vein unoccupied.

This was also the reason why he initially thought that the spiritual vein was already a demon god.

"Hmm... the center of the spirit vein? I don't know about this kind of place. This is the first time I've heard you mention this."

Regardless of the reason, it is certain that the evil spirit is moving through the spiritual veins.

Therefore, he asked Cong Yu if he knew the central area of ​​the spiritual vein. If he knew, he could hide there and wait for the evil spirit to pass by.

Unfortunately, Cong Yu, who didn’t even know where the end of the universe was, obviously didn’t know where the center of the spiritual vein was.

"There's nothing I can do but look for it."

No one knows what to say, so all the gods and generals can only work hard on their own.

However, compared to the previous situation where we knew nothing, now we know that the evil spirit has not disappeared, but is hiding underground. This is good news.

After finishing the business and dinner, I watched TV for a while and watched the day's "The Loyal Minister".

All the gods and generals walked to the guest room prepared for him by the Lord God.

"I didn't expect that the Kirara Uenosuke in the first expedition was actually a stand-in... Was it really a plot added specifically for the purpose of filming a long series?"

Walking into the room, Jie Shenjiangchen was still thinking about the TV series he had just watched.

Because according to history, the Ako Ronin rushed into Kirara Uenosuke's house and chopped him to pieces.

Now this adapted TV series has them killing the wrong person and having to hunt down their enemy, which gives a subtle feeling that it was added just to complete the whole series.

"what?"

Just when the generals were about to get into bed and go to sleep, they suddenly felt something was wrong.

"What's going on with this feeling? I feel a little uneasy..."

He opened the door, walked outside, and looked at the crescent moon outside. He didn't quite understand what this uneasiness meant.

But this is definitely not a good thing. With his current abilities, this feeling would not appear for no reason.

‘Shua’ ‘Shua’

Very slightly, all the generals and ministers heard some strange noises in the distance.

Without much thought, Jieshenjiangchen exerted force on his feet and instantly jumped from the yard where the guest room was located to a willow tree dozens of meters away, and then went in the direction where the sound came from.

"Hoo~Hoo~Hoo~Ah, what are you doing in a place like that?"

When we got close to the place where the sound came from, a female voice suddenly came from under the tree.

All the generals and ministers were stunned when they saw each other for the first time.

Of course, it’s not because the other person is beautiful.

If she was just beautiful, all the gods and generals would at most keep their eyes on her for a few seconds like ordinary people and would not be stunned.

The main reason why he was stunned was that the other person had a pair of straight spiral golden twin ponytails on her head.

It is the kind commonly seen in animations, where it spirals downward in a fixed shape.

Even though he no longer had any doubts about being in the two-dimensional world.

I have never seen such an outrageous hairstyle before.

So even though the two purple and black bows on the edge of the ponytail are still declaring that the laws of physics still stand firm on the earth.

He still couldn't let it go.

This also resulted in the generals and ministers not answering the other party's questions immediately.

"You can't even answer a lady's questions? You're such a boring man... Then good night."

As he said this, the golden spiral twin ponytails disappeared from the sight of the God General, bringing him back to his senses.

"Wait a minute, is that a serious hairstyle? Is this really a hairstyle that can actually be made... This is not good. I'm super curious. Should I go ask the other party?"

For a moment, the confusion about the hairstyle outweighed the confusion about the anomaly here.

However, the other party is no longer here, and the time to ask has passed.

Even if they were all gods and ministers, they would not be so unromantic as to go up to a woman and ask her how she made her hair at such a time.

This scene is so weird!

Therefore, all the gods and generals just shook their heads regretfully and went towards their original destination.

"The sound should have come from nearby. Strange..."

When they arrived at the place, the generals and ministers of the gods discovered that it was a forest with only bamboos growing on it, and they did not see anything special.

But such ordinary words should not attract him.

"So the secret is inside the bamboo?"

Kaishen Jiangchen aimed at the bamboo closest to him, equipped with Cong Yuwan and cut it in the middle!

This innocent bamboo was perfectly split in half from the middle.

"I thought it would be inside the bamboo. Wait, this smell is...blood?"

Not seeing any mystery, General Jie Shen wanted to try cutting a few others, but suddenly he smelled something in his nose and realized something was wrong.

"The smell of blood comes from... the roots of the bamboo?"

After a few sniffs, the smell of blood became more obvious. The smell came from under the roots of the bamboo he had chopped in half.

Without hesitation, the general of the God of War poked Cong Yuwan into the ground, and then used it as a shovel to clear the land around the smell of blood.

However, the thing that emerged from the soil was not the exotic toys that the generals had imagined, but a relatively normal piece of paper, or a talisman.

"I don't know what the talisman is for... there should be more than one."

The probability of hitting the target with just a random strike is too low.

Therefore, all the gods and generals believed that there should be a large number of bamboo roots in this area with this kind of talisman affixed to them.

The question is who posted it and when.

Another point is that……

"It is indeed human blood. What kind of spell needs to be drawn with human blood?"

All the gods and generals shook off the dust on the talisman.

Although he could not understand any of the scribbles on the talisman, the scarlet lines and the strong smell clearly told him that the raw material for drawing the talisman was human blood.

"This should be a different incident from the evil spirit. I can't imagine the evil spirit using its claws to draw talismans."

Putting the talisman drawn with fresh blood underground, it is impossible that the mastermind was preparing to do something good.

Chapter 31 Little Toe Pain

"There are nine of them in total..."

The general Chen Youhui cut down a lot of bamboos. After careful inspection, he found similar talismans under another eight bamboos.

Not only do the scrawled symbols on these talismans look identical, even the smell of blood is the same.

"It is indeed the same blood. Did the person who drew the talisman use his own blood... or did they use the blood of the same person?"

As for the former, perhaps we can still talk about it, but as for the latter, I'm afraid he has bad intentions.

"Hey, could this underground be... a spiritual vein node?"

Perhaps it’s because more ground has been uncovered, or perhaps it’s because more bamboos have been cut down.

Some of the aura from underground leaked out and was noticed by all the gods and generals.

This discovery surprised him even more and he looked at it more carefully.

"As expected, this is the spiritual node of Hoori. Setting up a spell in a place like this... Tsk, it's troublesome."

All the generals and ministers had a headache.

He hadn't finished dealing with the evil spirit issue yet, and now someone was secretly doing something wrong, and he had no clues yet...

It doesn't seem right either.

After thinking for a moment, the God General locked his target on the girl with straight golden hair and spiral twin ponytails he had just met.

It took only a moment from the time he felt something was wrong to the time he arrived here, and the only person who walked down from here was that person.

The problem is that he didn't intercept him in the first place, and the other party had already left, so it's not easy to find him first.

"......Such a prominent hairstyle should be very conspicuous to Hoori. Go ask other people."

Kaishinjoshou was unable to determine when this talisman would work, nor how many spiritual vein nodes in Hoori had this talisman placed under them.

Just in case, he hesitated for a moment and prepared to go to Hitachi Mako to ask.

The main reason for looking for her is that she is worthy of her self-proclaimed ninja and is quite well-informed about local news.

"That's weird, I can't find her anywhere... So which room did she live in?"

However, after returning to the backyard of the shrine, Kaishin Shōomi could not find Hitachi Mako.

The only light on now was in Takeyoshino's room.

This made him puzzled and he knocked on the door of the room where Yoshino Asatake was.

'knock' 'knock'

"Hmm? Father? What's the matter at this hour?"

Hearing the knock on the door, Asatake Yoshino, who had not yet fallen asleep, spoke from inside with some confusion.

"it's me."

'Boom! '

At the moment when the generals spoke, a dull sound came from inside, followed by a moment of silence, and then...

“…………Gu.”

From Asatake Yoshino came a sound that was a mixture of pain and endurance, despair and grief.

With a swish, all the generals opened the door immediately.

"What's wrong? Is the curse taking effect?"

The other party's condition is obviously not right, and this is not the time for physical intimacy between men and women.

However, the scene in the room is completely different from the phenomenon of all gods and generals.

After opening the door, the first thing he saw was Yoshino Asatake, with her hands trembling and her face distorted as she stared at her little toes.

And the little toe had obvious red marks.

"Ah...it turned out to be the sound of my little toe hitting my head."

It was only later that Kaishenjiangchen realized that the sound just now was the sound of Asatake Yoshino's little toe being hit, and the sound was just the sound of him enduring the pain of his little toe being hit.

"Ha, ha, ha... Lord General, even for you, it is uncivilized to break into a lady's boudoir at this time. If you came here to see my little toe get hit, it would be even worse!"

Probably because it really hurts when your little toe is hit.

After taking a few deep breaths, Asatake Yoshino began a series of questions.

It seemed that he could no longer maintain his usual composure due to the pain.

The pain in the little toe is so terrible!

"I just wanted to ask Mozi something, but I couldn't find her anywhere so I came here... Are you okay?"
