When the broom fell, once it really hit Conan's head, his brain would definitely become pulpy, but Yan Kai followed behind Conan. Although he always complained in his heart that it might be the disaster star or the god of plague, when he saw that Conan's life was in danger , Yan Kai couldn't possibly watch him die.
A finger force popped out from his fingers and hit the broom. Before it landed on Conan's head, the broom had turned into a pile of debris in mid-air, leaving only a broom handle in the little ponytail witch's hand.
Conan, who had just walked away from the gate of hell, was sweating on his head. He never imagined that he would even break through the police cordon, but nothing would happen in the end? Why was it that I almost got shot in the head when I broke into the shrine’s torii this time?
Looking at the broom with only the handle left in her hand, the little pony-tailed miko's eyes flashed with fluctuations, but she quickly regained her composure and said to Yan Kai, who had rescued Conan: "Trespassers...die!"
After saying that, he threw away the broomstick in his hand and assumed a posture similar to judo but very different from today's judo.
Ancient Jiu-Jitsu?
As soon as Yan Kai recognized this posture, the little witch with a single ponytail rushed towards Yan Kai and took the joints of Yan Kai's hand.
Naturally, Yan Kai would not let her succeed. With a turn of his hand, he grabbed the hands of the little witch with a single ponytail and twisted her arms behind her, easily subduing her.
"You are so young, why are you so vicious in your attacks? Didn't your adults teach you not to use martial arts indiscriminately?"
Yan Kai said dissatisfied.
The hit on Conan's head just now was definitely aimed at driving Conan away. Now he was aiming at his own wrist to attack, with the intention of destroying his joints. It felt like a vicious attack.
But what makes Yan Kai even more frightened is that even if he was so cruel, Yan Kai didn't feel even a little bit of malice from the girl with a single ponytail, as if what she was doing was a very normal thing, and Sweeping the dust off the ground makes no difference.
Either she is used to this kind of thing and does it all the time, or she has no idea about the severity of the attack and does not know that she is likely to kill someone, nor does she understand the meaning of killing.
No matter which possibility, Yan Kai feels terrible. This kind of person who is deviant from common sense is the most difficult to deal with.
With her hands twisted behind her by Yan Kai, the little witch immediately bent her legs and kicked back, not stopping her attack even if her hands were restrained.
Yan Kai squatted slightly and directly clamped the little witch's back kick with the two-pin pliers.
Both hands and one foot were restrained, leaving only one leg struggling to support her. Although the little miko's face remained expressionless, her forehead began to sweat.
"Don't hold on. The harder you push, the more injured you will be."
Yan Kai reminded the little witch.
However, the little witch didn't appreciate Yan Kai's kind words, and still struggled to break free from Yan Kai's restraints, even at the risk of hurting her body.
Seeing this, Yan Kai did not dare to continue to restrict the little witch. After all, she was only a half-year-old child, and he could not do it even if Yan Kai was cruel.
Just when Yan Kai wanted to let go of the little witch, a woman's voice sounded: "Who is it, let go of my disciple!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before Yan Kai could even see the person who spoke clearly, a sharp wind from his palm hit his face. The wind from his palm made Yan Kai feel pain on his face.
Yan Kaixin was shocked. Instead of receiving the palm first, he let go of the little miko and freed up his hands. With a wave of his left hand, he pushed Kasumigaoka Shiyu and Conan down the hillside with skillful force. At the same time, he pushed out a palm with his right hand to meet the attack head-on. of palm wind.
"Bang!"
The two palms touched each other, and there was a loud sound like thunder, and a strong impact was triggered at the same time. The stone steps under the torii gate were shattered inch by inch, and a large area of trees on both sides of the stone steps also fell. Yan Kai, who had taken action in a hurry, fell back three feet. He stepped forward, leaving three deep footprints on the broken stone steps, and the blood in his body surged. Although he was not injured, the palm just made him feel tremendous pressure.
With such deep inner strength... he is a master of transformation!
Yan Kai looked at the torii attentively.
Inside the torii gate, the smoke and dust caused by the collision of two palms slowly dispersed, revealing the figure of a slim woman. She was wearing a large red and white witch costume, with a Buddhist bead wrapped around her neck, and her long hair was flowing. She has a gorgeous appearance, and even the loose miko uniform cannot hide her fiery and powerful body. Her appearance alone gives people a very young look, about twenty-five years old, but the vicissitudes in her eyes seem to have gone through all the ups and downs. Old man, when it comes to everything, he is already in peace.
The miko put down the little miko in her hand and looked down at her palm.
This is a very beautiful hand, like mutton-fat white jade, the fingers are slender and soft, and the back of the hand is smooth and delicate. Only the palm is red, and the palm is faintly charred, and the skin seems to have been burned.
"What a domineering palm power. I had the upper hand, but I was still injured by your palm power. I heard that a boy named Xue recently appeared in the Central Plains. His palm skills are very domineering. Could it be you?"
The miko said slowly.
Although she just slapped her hand casually and didn't use any moves, after the two palms met, she felt the domineering power of Yan Kai's palm and instantly used her Kushitan sect's jujitsu to resolve the palm power. The result was unsatisfactory. Only about 50% of it was removed, and the remaining 50% still caused damage to her palm.
There is no such domineering palm technique in Japan, so it can only come from the Central Plains. Recalling the rumors she had heard "recently" about the martial arts world in the Central Plains, the witch guessed Yan Kai's origin at once, but she just felt a little confused about Yan Kai's origin. It's a bit young to drive.
However, once martial arts enters the realm of transformation, it is almost impossible to tell age from appearance. She herself is the best example, so the witch is only slightly confused about the fact that Yan Kai is so young. I was relieved quickly.
Yan Kai was slightly stunned when he heard the witch's words.
His palm skills are domineering, his surname is Xue, and he is a male. This sounds like he is talking about his grandfather Xue Dingshan. However, although Xue Dingshan learned martial arts late, he was already in his thirties when he became famous. His real name is Zhenzhong Principle. After the age of forty, even if there is a lag in the flow of news in the martial arts circles in China and Japan, Xue Dingshan's reputation should have spread to Japan thirty or forty years ago. How can this be said to be "recent"?
Moreover, Xue Dingshan is already eighty... no, eighty-one years old this year. He is already an old man by any standard. This witch is a "boy" at every turn. Who is she talking about?
"If you are talking about 'Wind and Thunder Palm' Xue Dingshan, he is my grandfather."
Yan Kai replied.
"..." The witch was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Then your grandpa got married and had children very early..."
The young talent in the Central Plains martial arts world who was originally under the impression that he had a grandson actually made the witch feel a little sad.
No, no, no, it’s not early at all. My grandpa didn’t get married until he was 28. He was already thirty when he gave birth to my mother. My mother was also thirty-five when she gave birth to me. It’s not early in our family to get married and have children!
The corners of Yan Kai's eyes twitched crazily. This was the first time he heard someone say that his family got married and had children early. It really left him speechless.
"Are you from the Central Plains?"
the miko asked.
"yes."
Yan Kai nodded and said.
"If so, you can come in."
The witch said to Yan Kai, and after finishing speaking, she turned around and wanted to leave.
The little witch was a little confused as to why the master let Yan Kai go. She obviously asked her to kill everyone who broke into the shrine, but since the master said that Yan Kai could come in, she didn't dare to stop him.
"Wait a minute, why can he, a Central Plains man, get in, but I, as a Japanese, have to be stopped? Is this a place for Japanese people anymore?"
Conan ran up unconvinced. Of course, knowing that he was scared, he hid behind Yan Kai and stuck his head out to talk this time, which was a bit timid.
"This is the realm of God, and people who cause destruction are not welcome."
The witch said coldly.
"We promise not to cause any damage. Can you let us go in and take a look?"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu was also curious about why Japanese people were not allowed to enter this shrine, and couldn't help but speak.
"You'd better do this, otherwise this Central Plains man won't be able to protect you."
The miko flicked her long sleeves and left.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu swallowed, then looked at Yan Kai.
"Don't look at me. Although I think I won't lose, she wants to kill you all, so I may not be able to stop her."
Yan Kai showed his hands to Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu.
Although this miko is strange, her martial arts skills are real, and the transformation masters have many unpredictable abilities. If the miko wants to kill people, Yan Kai may not be able to protect Kasumigaoka Shiyu. After all, he In addition to the martial arts that he is good at, "Yin Yang Jue", which is both offensive and defensive, and combines strength and softness, "Wind and Thunder Palm" and "Wu Jian Shu" are both martial arts that use offense instead of defense.
"cut!"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu glared at Yan Kai, but still walked into the torii without hesitation.
She didn't believe that Yan Kai wouldn't protect her!
Yan Kai sighed when he saw Kasumigaoka Shiyu insisting on going in, but he still followed closely, otherwise could he really leave his senior sister alone? Well, that's fine for Conan.
Before, at the foot of the hillside, Kasumigaoka Shiha could only vaguely see the appearance of the shrine due to the angle. After entering the torii, the shrine behind the torii really appeared in front of her.
Unexpectedly, the little shrine maiden said before that "trespassers will die". Kasumigaoka Shiyu thought that this shrine was some kind of dragon and tiger's den, or that it was magnificent and enshrined some important treasures. However, when he went in, he found that this shrine was different from ordinary shrines. There is no difference, even a lot simpler. There is no Kagura Hall, Dance Hall, or even a hand water house. There is only a worship hall, and there seems to be a vague building behind it, which should be the main hall, that is. The most sacred part of the shrine usually contains the body of the god, offerings of food, and royal coins. It is the place where the god lives.
Yes, it’s crazy how luxurious a shrine built in such a remote mountain forest can be.
Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu said in his heart.
The quality of a shrine's architecture has a lot to do with its income, and the shrine's income comes from donations from worshipers. This shrine even wants to kill people who come to worship, so how can it have the money to repair the shrine?
When the little miko saw that her master did not stop her and Kasumigaoka Shiu did not destroy the shrine, she ignored her and picked up the broom handle and fell into distress.
How could she sweep the floor without a broom?
"Hey, little sister, is there anything special about this shrine?"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu asked the little witch.
The older miko looked very uncomfortable, and she planned to attack the younger miko.
"I don't know." The little witch shook her head.
"Does anyone usually come to worship?"
Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu asked again.
"no one."
"Then how can your shrine survive?"
"There is water in the stream. If you are hungry, you can eat the fruits in the forest. I am also growing vegetables myself."
"Will this make you full? Don't you usually eat meat?"
"Master said that clergy should cultivate their moral character and not be contaminated with meat or fish."
Kasumigaoka Shiu and the little miko asked questions and answers. Although the little miko spoke very little and didn't know many things, she would answer truthfully whenever Kasumigaoka Shiu asked her. This honest look even made Kasumigaoka Zhiqiu Shiyu suspected that she was not the one who wanted to break Conan's head just now.
Speaking of Conan...
"Do you usually treat people who come to the shrine like you treat that little brother?"
Kasumigaoka Shiu asked, pointing to Conan who also slipped into the shrine and looked around.
"Well, because there are always people who come to the shrine from time to time to cause damage, so Master said that those who trespass on the divine realm will die."
The little miko replied indifferently.
"Then what you did before..."
Kasumigaoka Shiyu felt a little creepy. Could it be that such a young child has...
"The people who came before, when I said the first words, they left on their own."
The little witch glanced at Conan and said.
Although their shrine is small, it has a reputation in the neighborhood. In the 80 years since the shrine was established, all those who came to the shrine to cause trouble have died at the hands of the shrine maiden. No one in the nearby town will go near it, even if Occasionally, someone got lost and came to the shrine. Basically, the little miko said coldly that people who heard the shrine's evil reputation would leave obediently. This was the first time the little miko met a stubborn person like Conan.
Conan lowered his head in embarrassment and began to press the soles of his shoes with his toes.
He is obviously the victim, but why does he feel embarrassed?
"Ah, that's right!" Kasumigaoka Shiyu thought of something again and said very curiously, "What kind of god does your shrine enshrine? What blessings can you get by visiting him?"
As a Japanese, you should pay homage when you come to a shrine, but before going to the shrine, Kasumigaoka Shiu still wanted to find out who he was paying homage to.
The little witch said solemnly: "Our shrine enshrines the God of War."
"God of War? Which God of War? Heishangmon or Minamoto Yoshitsune?"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu said curiously.
In the history of Japan, there were several people who could be regarded as war gods, and there were many shrines dedicated to them.
"Master didn't say the specific name of the God of War, but Master said that our shrine is named after the God of War." The little witch said.
"In the name of the God of War? What is the name of your shrine?"
Only now did Kasumigaoka Shiyu remember that she had never asked the little miko the name of this shrine.
"Yasumu Shrine."
The little miko replied.
"Jingwu Shrine?" Kasumigaoka Shiyu muttered, and then said thoughtfully, "This name is very similar to that very famous shrine. Does your shrine have anything to do with that shrine?"
"It doesn't matter." The little witch replied decisively. After thinking about it, she denied her answer, "It doesn't seem to say it doesn't matter at all."
"what is the relationship?"
Kasumigaoka Shiu asked, is the Jingwu Shrine separated from that shrine?
"Some of the things enshrined in that shrine were killed by the gods enshrined in our shrine."
The little miko answered seriously.
"ha?"
"The God of War enshrined in our shrine was from the Central Plains during his lifetime. He killed many Japanese soldiers during World War II."
Facing the little miko's answer, Kasumigaoka Shiyu couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
No wonder people always come to destroy your shrine. In Japan, the Central Plains people who killed Japanese soldiers are enshrined. Your shrine has not been demolished until now. This is simply a miracle!
