Chapter Eleven: The Palace
Just as Feng Mo Shinnosuke persuaded him, Ning Qing suddenly felt an inexplicable call, and at the same time, the sun water droplets in his body were also rotating wildly.
Feeling that the direction of the call was the upper half of Kasasuoshan, which was blocked by the barrier. Combined with the abnormal movement of spiritual energy between heaven and earth, Ning Qing instantly confirmed that the barrier was broken.
And Feng Mo Nobuosuke, who was standing beside him, was shocked when he heard Ning Qing say that the barrier had been broken:
"Did they start breaking the boundaries overnight?"
Ning Qing felt the breath in the temple. Compared to yesterday, there were obviously fewer Onmyoji. He looked solemn and said:
"No matter whether you break the boundary overnight or not, the most important thing now is to get to the place where the ruins are located as soon as possible!"
Fengmo Nobuo nodded, went back to the house to get the samurai sword, and went out with Ning Qing to rush outside the temple.
The Onmyoji who stayed in the temple also knew that the barrier was broken, and under the leadership of their respective leaders, they packed up and ran towards the mountain together.
As he rushed, Ning Qing and his friends finally arrived at the barrier.
The thick fog still enveloped the mountains and forests, and the tall trees in the deep forest appeared faintly through the thick fog.
This has no change from what Ning Qing saw yesterday.
Many Onmyoji looked at each other and pondered for a while, several bold Onmyojis quickly stepped forward and walked into the thick fog.
He carefully observed the thick fog, his hands in his robe clasped the talisman in his hunting clothes, took a breath, and walked into the thick fog.
Compared with the past, the invisible air wall disappeared, not preventing the Onmyoji from entering the thick fog.
Seeing that the barrier had indeed disappeared, the Onmyoji behind hurriedly walked into the thick fog, preparing to look for the legendary ruins.
Ning Qing and Feng Mo Nobusuke also followed the crowd and walked into the thick fog.
After entering the thick fog, Ning Qing found that he could only see about one meter around the surrounding area. The undispersed thick fog enveloped the mountains and forests. What's even more terrifying is that the thick fog seemed to have strange abilities.
After walking a few tentative steps, Ning Qing's eyes flashed before her, and the Onmyoji who had entered the thick fog together disappeared, leaving only Ning Qing.
Seeing this, Ning Qing knew that he was teleported by the formation hidden in the thick fog and came to other places.
After choosing a direction at will, Ning Qing found that the direction was also affected by the thick fog. He walked for a long time, but he was just standing in the maze.
After frowning and thinking for a while, Ning Qing closed his eyes and pondered, calmed his mind and entered the state of no distractions in an instant.
"Sir! I'm here!"
"Sir, come quickly!"
"Save me!"
With quiet concentration, Ning Qing's ears kept lingering in Ning Qing's ears, the faint call coming from the depths of the barrier became clearer. Ning Qing closed his eyes and walked towards the thick fog along the call.
Relying on the guidance of the call, Ning Qing walked quickly into the depths of the thick fog, and the call in his ear became clearer and more obvious.
After not knowing how long he had left, Ning Qing felt that he had regained control of the direction.
I stopped and slowly opened my eyes. As I saw it, I saw an ancient palace with wind chimes ringing on the eaves.
The palace is surrounded by big red walls, and the towers inside the walls can be seen vaguely. The vermilion gate is open, and the two stone statues of demons and ghosts at the door seem to be welcoming visitors.
That call came from the palace in front of you.
Ning Qing listened to the call in his ear and sneered: "I'm going to see who is looking for me."
At this moment, the thick fog behind him surged, and an Onmyoji walked out of the maze and came to the palace.
An iron rat was lying under his feet, looking at Ning Qing cautiously, and Ning Qing just glanced at him and walked towards the palace.
Seeing this, the Onmyoji, who was carrying the Iron Rat, hurriedly followed.
When he arrived at Zhu Hong's gate, Ning Qing looked down and saw that the ground was in chaos, with dozens of footprints scattered in front of the gate, but these footprints pointed to the palace.
Seeing this, Ning Qing did not check the statues of ghosts on both sides and walked quickly into the palace.
The Onmyoji with the Iron Rat stopped and looked carefully in front of the Zhuhong Gate.
After entering the palace, Ning Qing ignored the side hall and walked directly to the front hall.
In the front hall, there was a mess. The blood on the ground had not yet solidified completely, exuding a fishy smell. The aftermath of the battle was covered with the walls, and the surrounding walls were full of traces of the rampant Yin and Yang Technique.
There was nothing on the bookshelf next to it, and the classics on it were obviously taken away.
Ning Qing avoided the blood on the ground and came to the main seat. He saw that the sandalwood box on the desk had been opened, and there was a faint spiritual energy inside. After careful examination, he could see that the box had just been opened.
The entire front hall was swept away by the Tuyumen family and others who came in first.
Seeing this, Ning Qing did not stop and quickly walked to the nave.
At this time, there were shouts of killing in the middle hall.
An Akainu walked out of the painting on the wall and was fighting with an Onmyoji.
When Ning Qing entered the nave, Akainu was waving his claws and slamming, leaving deep bone-visible scars on the Onmyoji. His Shikigami, a mountain boy, had already died under Akainu's claws.
Seeing Ning Qing enter the nave, the Onmyoji seemed to have seen the savior and shouted: "I am from the Tuyumen family. Please save me quickly, I will thank you very much!"
Ning Qing, who was about to take action, heard this, but his gesture slowed down. At this moment, Akainu seized the opportunity and pounced forward. His snow-white fangs tightly bit his neck, and the red blood flowed down his forehead to the ground.
The Onmyoji of the Tujimen family who was knocked to the ground was suppressed by Akainu and slapped his hands on the ground with weak hands.
After a while, Akainu had killed him, and after gnawing at a few bites, he stepped in front of Ning Qing.
Ning Qing, who witnessed the whole process, remained calm and looked at Akainu in front of her curiously.
There is no demonic energy on this Akainu, and there is a spiritual energy surging in every move. Looking at the painting on the wall, there is a group of people kneeling down and worshiping under the high platform. There is nothing on the platform except for the tribute. Obviously, the Akainu who just killed one person is the object of worship in the painting.
Looking at Akainu with blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, Ning Qing murmured: "Is this the backup plan left by the owner of the ruins?"
Many Onmyoji will provide protection measures for their corpse-hiding places before their lifetime. Ning Qing has encountered many of them in recent years. The Akainu who walked out of the painting in front of him is probably also the method of Onmyoji.
Ning Qing stared at the desk not far away, looking at the unopened wooden boxes and a large number of wooden cabinets beside her, and was delighted. At this moment, Akainu seized the opportunity and rushed forward, trying to use the same trick to kill Ning Qing again.
Ning Qing dodged away from Akainu's attack. With a wave of his hand, a wind appeared and attacked Akainu.
But Akainu is not a flesh-and-blood body, and her constantly cut body recovers as before in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this scene, Ning Qing was not angry and continued to use Yin-Yang Technique to attack Akainu.
After even attacking, Akainu could not even touch the corner of Ning Qing's clothes. During this period, Ning Qing observed Akainu's movements and finally discovered Akainu's weakness.
"ban!"
He threw out several jade pendants with talismans inscribed with nonchalant hand, and Ning Qing set up a formation in the hall. As the formation was formed, the connection between Akainu and the painting gradually weakened and even disappeared completely.
Akainu panicked and his attack became more and more fierce, but Ning Qing did not fight Akainu head-on, but just used the Yin-Yang technique from afar, consuming Akainu's inner spiritual power.
After a bombardment of Yin and Yang Technique, everything was indeed as Ning Qing expected. Akainu's figure gradually became illusory. Finally, after a single attack on the ground, Akainu disappeared, leaving only a corpse in front of Ning Qing.
After defeating Akainu, Ning Qing quickly walked towards the desk. When she passed by the body of the Onmyoji family of the Tuyumen family, Ning Qing didn't even look at it.
As the noble Sky Blue Dragon, the Tuyumen family is just an ant, and there is no qualification to let Ning Qing watch.
After taking away the wooden cabinets on both sides, Ning Qing reached out to remove the sandalwood box on the desk.
The box is exactly the same as in the front hall. After opening it, I saw an irregular jade piece as big as a palm lying quietly inside. The jade piece was semicircular. After careful examination, Ning Qing found that it seemed to be part of a circle.
After playing for a while, Ning Qing did not find the special features or uses of the jade, so he put him away and continued to the next palace.
