Chapter 257: When I Meet the Demon
Fushimi Lu dealt with the two fools, left the reception room, walked into the lobby, and met with Genyuko and others.
Perhaps influenced by the Edo period, the internal lobby of Wulin Temple was renovated and had a strong Western style. The most classic furniture was leather sofas and crystal chandeliers, with oil paintings hanging on the walls and silver candlesticks placed on the long mahogany table.
Someone knocked on the door outside the wall, and the bell hanging at the door of the lobby rang. It was probably the psychic on the tail that came. Ono Xuan held an umbrella to receive the guests, while Genyuko looked curious. She stood under the bell to study and couldn't help but ask, "How did this bell ring?"
"It's electric remote control." Yazaki Momo didn't care. She was fighting against the honey melon on the coffee table, hesitating whether to take a bite, but she was afraid of losing her dignity.
"But isn't there a wooden door outside the fence? And the fence itself is Sugisaka Konoha, where are there electric wires?"
Yuan Yuzi was curious and wanted to reach out to play with the bell to figure out the mystery, but she was not tall enough. She looked around on tiptoe for a while and found that the bell had no wires, and the copper tongue inside was all purely mechanical.
It's strange.
At this time, footsteps came from outside the door, which seemed a little heavy amid the thunder and rain. Yuan Yuzi took a few steps back and sat down obediently on the sofa.
Everyone looked back and Ono Xuan opened the main door, and lightning threw their shadows into the hall.
I saw a man and a woman standing at the door. The man looked a little young, strong, wearing a green vest and brown trousers, and a heavy wooden box behind him, nearly half a person tall.
The woman looked old, wearing a black robe, and holding a paper umbrella in her hand, not to block the rain for herself, but to cover the wooden box with the rain... If she guessed correctly, she would be the lady on her tail.
Ono Kyuki led the two into the door and set a fire in the fireplace so that the guests could dry their clothes. The lady put away the paper umbrella, took off the black lady's wide-brimmed hat, looked around the lobby with her head, and took a deep breath.
"Ah... there is a lot of sadness here." She said hoarsely.
Fushimi Lu immediately wrote down this sentence, intending to learn it secretly and turn it into his own use in the future.
Ono Xuan felt a little uneasy and signaled Mrs. Ouguchi to wait for a while, and she would go to inform her of her mistress.
While waiting, the lady of the Neichung did not sit down or even look at them with her eyes, but paced slowly along the lobby wall, like a visitor, admiring the oil paintings on the wall, looking at the crystal lamps and the porch.
The man who followed her into the door was exhausted. He lowered the wooden box and a dull tremble sounded on the floor. Yuan Yuzi was curious about what was inside, but she was embarrassed to ask and could only stare at her.
After a while, Princess Kiko went downstairs and followed her wife and made a few polite words. It can be seen that she remains alienated from the so-called psychic. The latter didn't care, and his eyes were still wandering around, asking casually: "Turando, did you sleep peacefully last night?"
Princess Ji's face changed suddenly.
The rest of the people didn't understand why, even Ono Xuan looked confused. The lady at the tail slowly turned her head, and the wrinkled face was a little compassionate: "That's how your daughter calls you, right?"
"How did you know?" Princess Kiko forced herself to calm down, but her voice was already trembling.
"She told me."
The lady was in her sleeves with her hands on her sleeves, and the fire was unstable, which made the wrinkles on her face deeper.
Before Princess Kiko could ask, she whispered: "I can hear... I can hear... those ghosts are wandering, whispering, telling the loneliness for thousands of years..."
Princess Kiko's face became paler.
Yuan Yuzi silently retracted her head, leaving only a pair of eyes sticking out of the back of the sofa. She was really panicked, and she vaguely felt malice coming from the dead corners where the light could not be shined, as if countless pairs of eyes were peeking at them.
Even Yazaki Momo forgot to raise the camera. She put her legs together and unconsciously leaned against Fumimi Lu, and didn't dare to chew the honeydew in her mouth. --clang!
The heavy bell rang out from the Western clock, and it was eleven o'clock.
The lady of the Neiga said that she could start to arrange a psychic ritual. Only then did Princess Kiko come to her senses. She said "ah" and turned her face away, sat down on the sofa at the main seat, signaling them to do whatever they want.
Hearing this, the man opened the wooden box and took out the magic weapon. He is Mrs. Okaka's assistant and is responsible for the arrangement of the psychic scene.
"The flames will affect spiritual power," said the lady of the Neiga, "Please also extinguish the fireplace."
Onoxuan used a fire stick to pull it off a few times and covered the baffle. After a few minutes, the flames went out and the light in the lobby became dim. Onoxuan lit up the crystal lamp again, and the pale light made everyone's skin look bloodless.
The assistant took out the magical instruments such as Yushou salt, bronze chime, doll, shakuhachi, etc., and placed them neatly on the ground. Then he took out a can of unknown brown liquid. After unscrewing the bottle cap, Yuan Yuzi smelled a fishy smell and a smell.
He rolled up the carpet, cleared out an open space, slowly tilted the glass bottle, and circled the ground with sticky liquid.
The uneasy atmosphere gradually spreads.
Everyone looked at the assistant busy, and no one spoke, and the lobby was terrible.
It was mainly because the Madam Ataki had a strong presence, she just sat quietly on the sofa, and the whole old house seemed to be rhythmic with her breathing.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
The assistant was busy for more than three hours, and silently recited the mantra for an hour. It was not until after two o'clock in the morning that the psychic scene was arranged.
The rain is getting heavier outside the house, and the thunder is gone. The lady of the Neiga stood up and signaled everyone to sit cross-legged in the circle. Yuan Yuzi was puzzled and couldn't help asking, "Are we going to participate in the psychic ritual?"
"Once the spiritual connection begins, this place will connect to the Yin Realm, and no one will be spared," Mrs. Okami said sinisterly: "People who are not afraid of death can stand outside the barrier."
Genyuko swallowed, she was about to turn around and ask Yazaki Momo for her opinion, but Yazaki Momo had already stepped into the circle with great sincerity. Fushimi Kaoru, Kiko and others did not hesitate and followed closely behind.
Everyone sat down around the tail and the top of the tail. There was a small table in the middle, covered with white cloth. Only Fumimi Deer was cross-legged, and the rest were kneeling upright.
Seeing that his assistant guy was still standing outside the circle, Yuan Yuzi waved to him quickly. The latter smiled, raised the talisman in his hand, and said, "I have a talisman, and the evil spirits can't hurt me."
"He has to protect him."
After finishing the sewing on the tail, he signaled his assistant to go upstairs to check it out. Gentako was a little worried and asked Fushimi Kaoru sideways: "What should I do with Chief Fujiwara?"
"He also has a barrier around him, so he is very safe." Fumimi Kami's tone of the wife of the tail was 70% or 80% similar.
Hearing this, she raised her eyebrows on her tail and looked at Fushimi Deer up and down, but she didn't say much. Seeing this, the others breathed a sigh of relief and inexplicably felt that Fumimi Lu might have two tricks.
--clang!
Everything was ready, the Western clock rang again, and the hour hand fell at three in the morning.
When a demon is met, the spiritual communication begins.
