Washing Away Your Conceit Chapter 6

"You monster, you are so arrogant, how dare you sneak into Qingshui's room in the middle of the night!"

Saying that, Nolan Abe made the divine seal between her hands and released it towards the demon fox.

The demon fox smelled the dangerous aura, blocked the incoming divine seal with a wave of the wind blade, and retreated decisively to escape from here.

He jumped up high, his silver-white hair flying under the night sky, but turned to look at Chloe Chi: "Qingshui? Xiaosheng remembers this beautiful name."

"Then... see you next time, my miko-sama..."

Although his tone was gentle and strange, Chloe Chi understood his eyes.

Xiaosheng will definitely make you into a unique doll.

The night wind blew by, but for a moment, there was no longer a figure on the mast outside the window.

"Let him escape...Qingshui, are you okay?"

Hearing Yayoi Abe's annoyed words, Chloe Chi put away her bow and arrows and said to him: "I'm fine. This monster is here to cause trouble for the little demon fox."

"Ah, is that so... That demon fox doesn't look weak. It's all because of me that Qing Shui got entangled with troublesome demons."

Nolan Abe seemed to blame herself. Chloe Chi comforted him and said, "You are not to blame for this..."

But the other party interrupted her and promised her seriously: "No! This incident is all because of me. Don't worry, I will definitely protect you on the way back to Kyoto!"

Hearing this, Chloe Chi's heart moved slightly. She was in a daze for a moment and couldn't help but think of Xiaolu.

"Sorry, I was rude when I broke into your room late at night. It's late at night, Qingshui, please take a rest early. We will set off early tomorrow morning." Nolan Abe bowed to her, closed the door and left.

Chloe Chi rubbed her temples with a headache. The demon fox shouldn't be following her all the way, right?

It seemed that before leaving, it was best to ask the shrine maiden in the shrine for advice on how to release the spiritual barrier, otherwise a powerful monster would appear one day and be detrimental to her, and she would not be defenseless.

A dreamless night.

The next day, Chloe Chi got up early, packed her luggage, said hello to Yayoi Abe, and went to consult the shrine maiden.

There is a beautiful and powerful witch named Kikyo in this village. The forces in the shrine are vaguely headed by her. Basically, she can easily deal with the monsters that usually invade the village.

In the room, Kikyo held her hand and was trying to guide her to feel and control her spiritual power.

"Close your eyes and carefully feel the power flowing in your body." The gentle and calm voice sounded like a trickle, erasing all the distracting thoughts in Chloe Chi's heart.

She knew that it was Kikyo who was using the power of spiritual speech to help her purify her heart.

Soon, Chloe Chi felt another soft and tough force in her body trying to guide and drive her. After a while, she controlled her vague spiritual power to follow the opponent's trajectory and move around her body. One lap.

"As long as you use your spiritual power skillfully and freely, you can build a defensive barrier on your own."

This kind of guidance training lasted for a short while. Chloe Chi opened her eyes and felt that her mood had become much calmer after being baptized by spiritual power.

She looked at Kikyo's calm eyes and thanked her gratefully: "Thank you so much, Mr. Kikyo."

The other party can really be regarded as her mentor.

Kikyo nodded, put on a faint smile, and encouraged her softly: "There is a lot of spiritual power hidden in Qingshui's body. I guess you must have eaten something that helps to increase your spiritual power before. You are very talented. High, as long as you keep practicing, you can grow up quickly. "

Chloe Chi nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

Before she came, she secretly hid the power of the forest in order not to cause unnecessary trouble. Fortunately, although this kind of power is demonic, it is extremely gentle and cannot be felt by anyone without attacking.

After confirming that Chloe Chi could control her own spiritual power, Kikyo taught her a few simple basic abilities.

They were the hand seals that released the barrier, and how to attach spiritual power to the weapon. Kikyo even personally demonstrated to her how to use spiritual power to shoot the demon-breaking arrow and the sealing arrow with two different powers.

"When your spiritual power reaches a certain level, you can create magic-breaking arrows without relying on a medium. Although this attack method consumes spiritual power, it is much more powerful than the former."

"In addition, there is another kind of spirit speaking technique, which is relatively obscure and difficult to understand. Qingshui may not be able to master it yet." Kikyo slowly explained to her in detail, "Our shrine maiden's spirit speaking technique is different from that of the Milton. "

"Milton's spiritual speaking techniques often combine spells with hand seals or talismans to achieve various purposes. There are many types of spiritual speaking techniques, some of which can be released instantly, and it is relatively simple to get started."

"However, a shrine maiden's spirit speaking technique often requires a lot of effort to engrave the spell on the rosary. The role played by such a powerful rosary is incomparable to the spirit speaking technique of an Milton."

"And you can also use these two spiritual techniques interchangeably."

Seeing Chloe Chi frowning and listening carefully, Kikyo smiled slightly: "You don't need to worry. For people with spiritual power, everyone uses their spiritual power in different ways. The so-called spiritual skills, breaking Magic arrows and so on are just a way and name for using spiritual power. "

"As long as your attainment is high enough, the barrier you release can not only be used purely for defense, but can even be used for attack."

Chloe Chi's eyes moved and she quickly understood what Kikyo meant.

There are no fixed rules for the use of spiritual power.

She benefited a lot, and by the time this lesson ended, which was enough to change the trajectory of her life, it was already noon.

Outside the shrine, the sun was shining brightly, and two girls in white and red clothes bowed to each other and said goodbye.

"Remember, after becoming a miko, Qingshui must have a calm, strong and determined heart. Don't be easily shaken, otherwise other monsters will take advantage of you."

With Platycodon's last kind instructions, Chloe Chi and Nolan Abe prepared dry food and set off towards the north.

Neither of them had any Sidney to drive them, so they could only use their feet to move forward step by step.

"It will take less than two days to cross the mountain ahead. We will rest in the mountain tonight and tomorrow night. When we cross the mountain, there will be another village." Nolan Abe talked to her as she walked. .

"But I know which road is the safest. This is a mountain forest close to human habitation. There are no very powerful monsters. And among monsters, there are good and evil. Many monster leaders will not attack them as long as you don't take the initiative to provoke them. It's easy to fight someone like the Demon Slayer."

Chloe Chi nodded and sighed: "It seems that the closer to the human city, the safer it is."

Hearing this, Nolan Abe seemed to have thought of something, and shook her head with an ugly face, "Not necessarily, Shimizu, haven't you heard of Dexter Shuten?"

Chloe Chi was stunned. Of course she had heard of it, but only in the game...

Nolan Abe continued to frown and said: "Shuten-dōji is a monster that has been very active in recent years. He is very powerful and very scary. He is the king of ghosts."

"His sphere of influence is in the Dajiangshan area near Kyoto. Not to mention villages and towns, even in Kyoto he dares to lead his demons to run rampant and do whatever they want. There are so many people with high spiritual power gathered in Heian Kyoto. Milton and mages are still helpless against him. "

"That's really a troublesome monster..." Chloe Chi whispered.

That's the King of One Hundred Demons. How can a newbie miko like her light up this guy's illustrated book?

Strategy... let's forget it and steal his ghost gourd? It seems even more impossible...

Thinking of other extremely troublesome SSR-level monsters, Chloe Chi suddenly felt a stomachache.

She feels so tired...I don't know if she can complete this task in her lifetime.

That's all, just take it one step at a time, let nature take its course, this life was picked up anyway.

After traveling all afternoon, the two made camp on the spot in the mountains, ate some dry food and rested.

Following the guidance of Platycodon grandiflorum, Chloe Chi used her spiritual power to prop up a fairly stable barrier, only about three or four meters in diameter.

She took the initiative and said, "Let me keep vigil in the first half of the night."

"Okay, please remember to wake me up when the time comes." Nolan Abe replied neatly without trying to show off.

Both of them knew that in the mountains where monsters were rampant, rotating vigils with each other was the best way to preserve their strength.

Seeing Nolan Abe closing her eyes and concentrating on sleeping, Chloe Chi quietly practiced the use of spiritual power on the side. Platycodon platycodon said that only through continuous practice can spiritual power slowly grow.

During this half of the night, Chloe Chi kept making fingerprints in her hands until her spiritual power was exhausted, and continued to do it occasionally after she recovered. Until the end, the originally ordinary hands were faintly lingering with a little white light while making fingerprints.

There are many green light groups gathered in the forest, which are the wooden charms that Chloe Chi is all too familiar with.

She didn't know if it was because of the power of the forest in her body, but the forest at night made her feel extremely comfortable, and she recovered quickly even after her spiritual power was exhausted.

In the second half of the night, Abe and Yayoi exchanged vigils. Chloe Chi did not feel any fatigue. On the contrary, she woke up refreshed and energetic.

Yayoi Abe spent half her spiritual energy to support the barrier for half a night. She seemed a little tired the next morning, so Chloe Chi took out the pomegranate fruit and gave it to two of him.

Seeing the pomelo fruit, Yayoi Abe's eyes lit up and he immediately recognized this fruit. He was quite surprised and said: "There is actually a pomelo fruit in Qingshui?"

"This kind of fruit can not only quickly restore spiritual power, but also slowly increase spiritual power. Monsters also like to eat it. However, there are usually powerful monsters around this kind of spiritual tree who take the fruit tree as their own, so it is not easy to pick. Get the fruit."

Chloe Chi smiled slightly: "It was given to me by a friendly monster."

"Wow!" Nolan Abe was yearning for it when she heard it, and her eyes were filled with stars. "A monster that is powerful and kind to others must have a very high level of intelligence, right?"

"Can I really eat this hard-won fruit?" Nolan Abe looked at her hesitantly.

Chloe Chi nodded and told him not to be polite. Nolan Abe was immediately overjoyed, and the relationship between the two became much closer.

After running around for two days and one night, they could walk out of the forest after spending this night.

As usual, Chloe Chi stayed vigil first. After two days of non-stop practice, her control over spiritual power became much more precise.

It was night, Chloe Chi closed her eyes and began to try what Kikyo said, using her spiritual power to feel the movement around her. Unexpectedly, a little demon actually came to the door.

Feeling the familiar demonic energy, Chloe Chi's heart moved and she quietly removed the barrier.

Under the dark night, a furry little fox demon quietly approached Chloe Chi. There was a bit of hatred and fear in her eyes, but she could not resist the temptation and approached her package.

It turns out that I was attracted by the Pycnogenol fruit.

The little demon fox put his paws into the package, his eyes full of excitement. Just when she thought she was about to succeed, two jade fingers gently touched her forehead, and she found that she couldn't move her whole body.

He opened his mouth to scream, but was shocked to find that even the sound was swallowed up.

The little demon fox glanced up and saw the miko who had injured her before looking at her with a smile on her face, and her hair suddenly stood up.

Chloe Chi withdrew her gesture and looked up and down at the little demon fox.

The two days of practice were extremely effective, and he was able to control this little demon with almost no effort.

"I happen to be short of a target for archery practice, and you look like a perfect fit."

She said in a malicious tone, looking at the frightened look in the other person's eyes with satisfaction.
