Yuanyumo was right in front of him, while Cangqi Fengzi followed closely behind.
As they walked deeper into the bungalow, Cangqi Fengzi felt a bone-chilling Yin Qi, causing her to rub her arms together to warm herself up.
After a few breaths,
Yuan arrived at the storeroom on the first floor of the bungalow. She saw that the entrance to the basement was sealed by a stone block. The Yin Qi in the bungalow was constantly coming out from this place. At first, when he used his Ghost Slaying Power to sense the Yin Qi gathering outside, it happened to be underground.
Yuan took out a talisman and muttered to herself.
"Broken Rock Lion, hurry!”
"Wrist-striking Spiritual Talisman!"
The talisman left Yuan's fingers and automatically stuck itself onto her right arm. In an instant, a few runes appeared on her right arm and outlined a 'BOOM' character.
After feeling a steady stream of power brewing and gushing out of her right arm, Yuan suddenly punched the stone block at the entrance of the basement.
Bang!
After a violent shattering sound, an even colder Yin Qi seemed to have found a vent and gushed out crazily. A thin layer of black-green frost condensed on the windowsill and glass of the utility room.
"Hiss…so cold!"
Suddenly, the Yin Qi that had increased by several times did not leave any impression on Yuanyumo, but it was already unbearably cold to Kurazaki Kaede.
"Armored Yeluo, hurry!”
"Vajra Spirit Talisman!"
A spirit talisman attached itself to Kurazaki Kaede's body. Immediately, Kurazaki Kaede felt a warm stream of steam coming out from the spirit talisman, sweeping away all the cold air that had accumulated in his body. A layer of golden membrane was also added to the surface of his skin.
"If we go down later, there might be danger that I can't worry about. This Vajra Spiritual Talisman can protect you.”
After saying that, Yuan walked into the basement. Kurazaki Kaede thanked her and followed behind her.
After entering the pitch-black underground passage, Yuan snapped her fingers, and everything around her lit up.
"The nest of these things is really here!”
Kurazaki Kaede looked at the walls that were covered with the bronze vines that had caused her to fall into despair. The only difference was that the surface of the bronze vines was flowing with blood-red air currents, as if they were constantly absorbing the nutrients from the roots.
"What exactly are these things? Wood spirits?"
Kurazaki Kaede had been curious about this for a long time.
It was not that she had never seen wood spirits before. For example, there were wood spirits in some trees in the deep mountains and forests. They were considered a kind of tree type monsters that had already become intelligent. However, wood spirits usually lived in the original cities. They liked to live in the primitive forests, not the industrial and polluted human cities. Moreover, she had never heard of wood spirits being so cruel and bloodthirsty.
"It's not wrong to mention that it's a Wood Charm. It's indeed a type of Wood Charm. It's just that it has been artificially modified. This type of Wood Charm is also called the Strange
Wood Charm."
This was the first time Kurazaki Kaede had heard of this name.
"There was an ancient method in the Heian era that could enhance the abilities of a wood spirit through postnatal modification. This wood spirit in front of us is one such example.”
These were all inherited from Seimei Ahn. This ancient method of transforming wood spirits was very common in the Heian Era a thousand years ago. As for the Onmyoji who had heard of this ancient method, there were probably very few of them.
"Could it be that this strange wood charm was placed by a Yin-Yang Master?”
Kurazaki Fengzi looked at Yuanyumo carefully.
After all, this was very similar to the Spiritless Puppet Spirit-branded Retainer that the Onmyoji had modified. Anyone who heard Yuan's explanation would probably think that way.
"Although this ancient technique was invented by a Yin-Yang Master, it was the demons who truly brought it to greater heights. Some powerful demons used the ancient technique to combine with demonic qi and fear to continuously water the Wood Charm for hundreds of years. Not only did it cause some mutations, but it also evolved into some special abilities. For example, the bronze vine in front of us is no weaker than real bronze. This is something that ordinary Wood Charm doesn't have. We have to be even more careful next. No one who could possess such a modified charm was a good person.”
Yuan said seriously.
"Yes!"
Cangqi Fengzi nodded. She understood the meaning behind Yuanyumo's words. A demon that possessed such a strange wood charm must have lived for at least hundreds of years. It was not something that ordinary evil spirits and vengeful spirits could compare to.
In the next second, they entered a basement that was over a hundred square meters. Even though she was mentally prepared, Kurazaki Kaede was still shocked by the cruel scene in front of her. A chill ran down her spine and up her head.
What entered the eyes of Source and Kurasaki Kaede were the dense, spiderweb-like, bronze vines that covered the entire basement. What made them break out in cold sweat were the dried corpses that looked like they had been weathered for hundreds of years. There were nearly 20 of them, and their expressions before they died were extremely painful. They seemed to be struggling desperately as if they were in endless hell.
The scariest thing was the empty eye sockets of these dried corpses. The moment Yuan and Kurazaki Kaede stepped into the area, they turned their heads and stared at them as if they would pounce on them in the next second.
Shocked, Kurazaki Kaede took a few steps back.
There were withered bronze saplings on these dried corpses. From their appearance, one could tell that these were the products of the bronze vines.
As for the use of these bronze saplings, the three corpses on the far left that looked fresh and unweathered could give Yuan and Cangqi Fengzi an answer. The bronze sapling rooted on the corpses was desperately absorbing nutrients to feed an apple-sized, blood-red fruit on the branch. It was not far from fully ripening.
These three corpses were very familiar to Kurazaki Kaede. They were her aunt's family of three who had disappeared in her memory.
