Zhu Wen was rolling around on the bed in a hotel room. After rolling around for a long time, she finally showed an impatient expression and called out bitterly to Yingkong, who was sitting by the bed using the computer to search for something."Yingkong, when will we find him? Was it that hard to find information about those guys?”
When he finally heard Zhu Wen's words, he sighed helplessly. He turned around and looked at Zhu Wen, who was rolling in the sheets, and said with a bitter smile,"Sis, I hacked into the systems of the Japanese Security Bureau and the Supernatural Intelligence Bureau. It's indeed easy to find those guys, but the key is that we don't know which Onmyoji is manipulating Ju-on! If we find the wrong person to help, won't we be doomed?”
Zhu Wen sat up and scratched her silver-white hair. She frowned and thought for a while. Finally, she opened her red lips and said,"Ah! How many Yin-Yang Master clans were there in the capital?”
Yinkong paused, then tapped on the keyboard for a while before opening the information about the Onmyoji family. Pointing at the computer screen, she said,"Look, there are two of them now, one is Flowerbloom House and the other is Earth Imperial Sect. The strength of these two families was originally about the same, but not long ago, in the war of demons in the capital, because of the inaction of the Earth Defense Sect family, it led to a war between the Hua Kaiyuan family and one of the demons, resulting in their strength being greatly reduced. However, I discovered something very strange. When those demons were wreaking havoc in the capital, they only killed the Yin-Yang Masters of the Earth Imperial Sect clan and ignored them.”
Zhu Wen put her index finger in her mouth and thought for a while. She asked with a serious expression,"Then what was the cause of the demon war? Was it to fight for control of the capital?”
Yinkong shook her head, confused."No, it's said that a big demon named Feather Fox tried to revive the Great Onmyoji Ampere Seimei. She gathered countless demons, and there were even quite a few big demons. However, in the end, the Onmyoji of the Flowering House joined forces with some other demons to stop her.”Zhu Wen's pupils constricted, and then she revealed a strange smile.
Zhu Wen turned off the computer and held Yinkong's hand, smiling."Let's go find the Earth Imperial Sect! They should be responsible for the Ju-On.”
Yingkong was pulled out of the hotel by Zhu Wen. The two's beautiful faces and elegant temperament didn't attract anyone. People even automatically left the two of them, leaving a large space for them.
Yinkong asked Zhu Wen curiously,"Sister, why are those people acting as if they didn't see us? And he even took the initiative to give up his seat for us? Since when did the Japanese treat women like this?”There were a lot of crazy men and trolleymen in Japan.
Zhu Wen had a faint smile on her face as she took out a white talisman paper from her body. Countless tiny runes were drawn on the white talisman paper. Zhu Wen looked at the talisman paper with a dazed expression and said,"This is a rune I learned at the shrine. It's called 'Dispel Idlers.' Although it doesn't have any lethality, it's very useful. Its effect is to prevent us from being noticed by ordinary people. If someone were to discover us, that person would definitely be an aptitude user from the dark world.”Yinkong excitedly snatched the white talisman from Zhu Wen's hands and looked at it like a little girl, as if trying to see something.
Without any harassment from ordinary people, Yingkong quickly brought Zhu Wen to the Earth Defense Sect's residence. Although it was a vast temple, it looked extremely ordinary. There were not many people who came to worship or visit, but Zhu Wen clearly felt that something was amiss.
Zhu Wen pulled Yinkong and said lightly,"Whatever I say later, just cooperate with me. It's best if you don't say anything. Just show your essence as an assassin!”Yinkong nodded obediently and stood behind Zhu Wen.
Zhu Wen slowly walked into the temple. Unlike ordinary people, she brought Yingkong through a barrier invisible to the naked eye. Then, the two immediately saw a few scattered Onmyoji walking around the temple, but they didn't see a single ordinary person.
The Onmyoji in the temple looked at the two girls who had barged into their barrier and could not help but be surprised. Although there were occasionally outsiders who entered, most of them were Onmyoji who had come to visit. Why were there some ordinary people entering today?
A handsome Yin Yang Master who looked to be around 15 years old walked up to Zhu Wen. He frowned and said coldly,""Both of you, you've come to the wrong place. This isn't a place you should come to.”
When Zhu Wen heard this, she immediately smiled. Her smile was like moonlight, and it immediately attracted the young Onmyoji's attention. Zhu Wen looked at the young Onmyoji who was attracted to her and said indifferently,"Hello, I'm the shrine maiden of Tsukigari Shrine, Orihime Inoue. This is my guardian ninja, Katsuya Ganye. We have just arrived in the capital recently. Please forgive us if we have been rude.”
The young Onmyoji looked at Zhu Wen in shock. He did not expect the two girls who could not sense any spiritual force to be a witch and a ninja. But why did the witch come back to their clan's base? Was there something wrong? As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person. The young Onmyoji nodded politely and said with a smile,"Hello, I'm the Yin-Yang Master of the Earth Defense Sect, Yuan Chun. May I ask why you have come to our place?”
Zhu Wen nodded her head and said with a smile,"Yes, I do have something important to discuss, but can you bring me to see your family head? I came here with the friendship of Tsukidori Shrine!”Zhu Wen blinked her eyes mischievously, causing the young Onmyoji in front of her to blush and nod. He then began to lead the way.
The two of them followed closely behind Yuan Chun of Earth Imperial Sect. Zhu Wen secretly observed the countless barriers and traps here and could not help but sigh in her heart. As expected of a thousand-year-old clan, they were indeed outstanding in their ability to survive until now. Not to mention the hidden barriers that had yet to be discovered, some of the barriers that had been discovered should be able to block or even destroy people of Zheng Zha's level. Of course, they were 'illiterate' without any mystical knowledge.
The two of them soon met the head of the Earth Defense Sect's family. The head of the Earth Defense Sect, who was wearing a hunting suit and a Yin-Yang Secret Crown, was not surprised at the arrival of the two. He looked to be around 50 years old and his entire body was filled with spiritual power. He had probably noticed the two of them as soon as they entered the array.
The head of the Earth Defense Sect gestured for Zhu Wen and Yingkong to sit to the side. Yuan Chun sat beside the head of the Earth Defense Sect. This scene made Zhu Wen realize that this young Yin Yang Master had a high status in the family!
The patriarch of the Earth Defense Sect looked at Zhu Wen and smiled warmly."I am the head of the Earth Defense Sect, Lin Jian. May I know why the two of you have come to the residence of our capital's Lord, the Earth Imperial Sect?”He specially emphasized the words 'Lord of the Capital' to let Zhu Wen immediately understand that the relationship between the Earth Defense Sect and Flower Blossom Yard was not harmonious. However, it was understandable that they were enemies in the same trade after all!
Zhu Wen bowed and said to the Earth Imperial Sect Master,""I'm sorry to disturb you, but my guardian ninja came to Kyoto not long ago with some of her subordinates to help me survey the feng shui here. We wanted to build a Tsukiyoshi Shrine in Kyoto, but we accidentally discovered a ferocious wraith.”The Earth Imperial Sect's patriarch's expression was calm, as if he was not very surprised. Perhaps to him, the capital was a place where people gathered, so it was not strange for there to be some filth.
Zhu Wen carefully looked at the other party. After seeing that the other party did not seem to be surprised, she finally continued,"However, after my master, Lord Hachi, divined for my guardian ninja, he discovered that the vengeful spirit in the capital was not formed naturally or accidentally. It was a shikigi raised by an unknown Onmyoji. But as far as I know, in the Onmyoji circle, forcefully capturing souls and transforming them, killing living humans and raising ghosts in captivity is not allowed, right?”The head of the Earth Defense Sect fell silent, as if he had something he didn't want to tell everyone.
Just as Zhu Wen was about to continue, Yuan Chun of the Earth Defense Sect, who was sitting at the side, finally changed his expression. He said anxiously,"I'm sorry, we already knew about the shikigi you were talking about, but because of the recent war between the demons of the capital and the foreign demons, we didn't have time to care about that matter. After that, we were dealing with the follow-up problems, so we put it on hold. Since you've come to our side to bring it up, we'll definitely do our best to resolve this matter. Tomorrow, I'll go to the hotel you're staying at to help you resolve the matter of the vengeful spirit harming people. Don't worry.”
Yinkong opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but Zhu Wen grabbed her hand and shook her head lightly. She then smiled at the Earth Imperial Sect's patriarch."Sorry to bother you then. I'll be waiting for the Onmyoji of the Earth Imperial Sect to arrive anytime.”The Earth Defense Sect's Patriarch was still pondering over something and did not answer Zhu Wen's question. In the end, it was still Earth Defense Sect's Yuan Chun who sent the two of them out of the encampment.
After leaving the Earth Defense Sect's estate, Yingkong couldn't help but pull Zhu Wen's hand and ask curiously,"Sister, the head of the Earth Defense Sect is obviously hiding something! Why don't you let me ask?"
Zhu Wen smiled and shook her head. She took Yinkong's hand and stroked her hair."I knew this would happen. If I asked, it would only be a gap between our cooperation. Do you remember when I asked you about the reason for the outbreak of the demon war in the hotel?”Yinkong nodded and looked at Zhu Wen in confusion.
Zhu Wen turned around and glanced at the entrance of the Earth Defense Sect's clan estate, which was already very far away. She sneered and said,"Many people in the Onmyoji circle know a secret that isn't considered a secret. The original name of the Earth Imperial Sect was Ampere. They were cursed with this surname because Ampere Qingming killed too many demons and had to change their name.”Yingkong was stunned.
"Then why didn't the Earth Defense Sect help or stop the demons from resurrecting Ampere Qingming?" Yinkong asked with a frown. Wasn't this a good opportunity for them to strengthen their families? This doesn't make sense!"
Zhu Wen blinked her eyes and said with a smile,"Do you know a legend? It was said that Ampere Qingming's mother was a demon fox? Didn't Feather Fox's recent attempt to revive Ampere Seimei confirm this rumor? Therefore, they did not do anything to protect themselves. If they interfered, it would confirm the fact that they were involved with demons. Therefore, even if there were radical people who wanted to interfere, they would definitely be suppressed by the Earth Defense Sect's master.”Yinkong nodded in realization.
However, Zhu Wen continued to reveal more information to Yinkong."When Feather Fox attacked, the Earth Defense Sect said that they couldn't interfere because of this matter. It was just an excuse. The best proof is that they didn't lose any strength. On the other hand, the Flowerbloom Family was really preparing to deal with Feather Fox. It was impossible for them to control Ju-on to harm others. Moreover, the matter of Ju-on killing people had been sealed off and no one cared about it. Not all mystics liked modern technology. Therefore, if the monks, witches, and Onmyoji, who did not know about the Ju-On and had their information blocked, did not know about it, how could they possibly eliminate the Ju-On? There were only two organizations in the capital that had the power to cover up the truth about supernatural events, and they were the Earth Defense Sect and the Flower Blossom Academy. Since the Flower Blossom Academy could not take care of themselves, the only possibility was that the Earth Defense Sect family had blocked the news. Then why would they block the news but not do anything?”
Yinkong's eyes finally widened as she said,"Could it be that the Earth Defense Sect wants to take advantage of the Hua Kaiyuan family's weakened strength to topple the Hua Kaiyuan family, so they started raising shikigis?”
Zhu Wen touched her smooth forehead in pain and knocked on Yinkong's little head, smiling."Of course not. If the Earth Imperial Sect didn't want to be viewed as hostile by the Japanese supernatural world after taking down the Flower Blossom Institute, they wouldn't have done this. Therefore, the only possibility now was that something had happened to the Earth Imperial Clan. Someone had privately raised a shikigi to help Feather Fox revive Ampere Seimei, but it was suppressed by the Earth Imperial Clan. As a result, the problem of the Ju-On was left unsolved. However, what I really want to know is what happened to the Yin-Yang Master who kept the Spirit-branded Ghost privately? Why hasn't the curse been removed yet? Dead? Escaped? Or was he imprisoned? Well, forget it, there's no need to think about this. From a certain point of view, isn't this just what we want?”
Yinkong felt like crying as she touched her red forehead. She ran back to the hotel and shouted with Zhu Wen behind her back,"I hate sister the most, hmph."
Zhu Wen smiled bitterly at the child-like Yingkong. But was this the real her, the Yingkong who needed protection and pity?
