After Chu Xiaotian finished tutoring Abe Maki in his studies, he sat in the living room, mainly because Abe Bingcheng had something to say to him.
Is it possible to fire him?
After all, that girl followed him to such a dangerous place last time.
However, Abe Bingjo sighed deeply after being serious for a while, and asked: "You want to go to the ancestral hall, right?"
Chu Xiaotian was startled, then nodded slightly.
Abe Bingcheng said: "I can let you go, but you can't take Maki to a place as dangerous as last time."
Hearing this, Chu Xiaotian could only nodded helplessly.
Although he didn't really want Maki Abe to follow him that time, he finally acquiesced. It was her own ability to catch up.
"In that case..."
Abe Bingcheng sighed, and then asked Abe Maki to take Chu Xiaotian to the ancestral hall when he was free.
He still has work to do, so he doesn't have so much time.
And this semester is coming to an end. Although certain changes have taken place in the world, what students should do remains the same.
In the evening, Chu Xiaotian told the two girls who knew that he was going to the Abe Ancestral Hall.
【Hey! Really? Can I go!?】
Yoko seems to be very curious about the ancestral hall of the Abe family.
【If you can excuse me...I want to go too】
Even Chiba was very interested. After all, it was a place related to Abe Seimei. For the Japanese, anyone would be interested.
After getting Maki Abe's permission, Chu Xiaotian decided to let the two of them follow him. It wasn't a dangerous place anyway, so there was no problem in going to see and satisfy their curiosity.
Meeting time.
When Maki Abe saw the two girls, she quickly bowed to them: "Two sisters! My name is Maki Abe! I was rude when we first met, and I'm very sorry!"
Seeing her serious look, both Yoko and Chiba were stunned.
Chu Xiaotian leaned over and whispered: "She regards you as very powerful people."
After all, the three of them went to Abe's house together.
Fortunately, the three of them got along quite well along the way. There was only a two-year age difference between them, so there was no generation gap. Moreover, Abe Shinki would take the Tokai Affiliated Examination, and if he could pass it, it would be their major.
Sister.
According to Maki Abe, the ancestral hall of the Abe family is located in a deep mountain and old forest. The family only goes there two or three times a year. Now, except for their family, no one else knows where the Abe ancestral hall is.
.
It is an unknown mountain, and it can even be reached only through an uninhabited forest area. It is very remote.
After entering the mountain, we walked for another hour before arriving at a simple ancestral temple.
"Is this where it is?"
"Um."
Maki Abe nodded.
The place has lush foliage and vines all over the walls, and the door has been covered with thick vines, making it look very dilapidated. I don’t know how many years it has been there.
Although it looks very shabby from the outside, once you walk inside, you can see that the interior is relatively complete. Apparently the Abe family cleans it every year.
"follow me."
The three of them followed Maki Abe into the ancestral hall.
Chiba and Yoko both looked at the natural stone walls around them curiously.
"Can these be touched?"
"Huh? Of course."
This was their first time coming to such a place, and they were full of curiosity.
Immediately afterwards, the four of them came to a stone mural.
The stone mural shows a man wearing a white robe and a tall hat on his head. He seems to be as easy-going as the wind.
"Who is this..."
"It's our ancestor."
Is this person Abe Seimei?
The most famous Onmyoji in ancient times.
Immediately afterwards, Maki Abe put his hand on the jade pendant around the waist of the portrait of his ancestor.
Click, click, click!
The ancestral hall suddenly shook, and the uneven stone walls beside it suddenly separated on both sides!
Secret passages?
All three of them were startled.
Yoko even exclaimed: "This is the first time I have seen such a thing as a secret passage!"
Although it feels like it does exist in reality, this is the first time I have seen it. I have seen it in movies before.
After entering the secret passage.
Maki Abe pasted several talismans along the stone wall along this road, and the talismans shimmered and illuminated the dark secret passage.
At the end of the secret passage, they came to a dark stone room filled with bookshelves.
Maki Abe said: "You can take a look at it, I will go find the one you need."
So Yoko unceremoniously touched the countless ancient books on the bookshelf.
Chiba quickly said: "Yangzi! Be careful! These are ancient cultural relics!"
"I know, I know!"
Click.
The page tore apart, and Yoko's face froze.
The corner of Qianye's mouth twitched slightly, she sighed and said: "These books are very fragile, please be careful when reading them."
"Um..."
Yoko's movements became much gentler.
After a while, Abe Maki came back, and Chu Xiaotian also took his eyes away from the stone murals. He took the ancient book handed over by the former.
"That's it. Take a look."
Chu Xiaotian asked: "Are you sure it's this one?"
Abe Maki nodded and said: "I took a quick look and found that this one is right. After all, this book is a little different from other books."
So Chu Xiaotian leaned against the stone wall and read the book. He read it at an extremely fast speed, and in less than ten minutes he had read through all the events recorded in the book that happened thousands of years ago.
Finally, Chu Xiaotian looked at the girl playing with her mobile phone next to her and asked, "Isn't this similar to what you told me before? It just has a few more details."
Maki Abe looked at him, blinked and said, "That's right?"
"..."
Chu Xiaotian retracted his gaze and looked at the ancient book.
Although he knew most of it, there were indeed some details, and there was one part that concerned him very much, because that thing was very similar to something in his impression.
The Twelve Chained Spirits Forbidden Formation.
From the above-mentioned order of constructing the formation and the upper connection method used, these are not something that people in this world can master, even if they were done by people thousands of years ago.
Those people thousands of years ago began to build the twelve towers because of the appearance of a certain person. Judging from the records in this ancient book, this idea did come from that person.
The techniques mastered in this process are definitely not what those Onmyoji masters understand.
The answer is obvious, the technology comes from that mysterious man.
And the power and knowledge possessed by that mysterious man are far superior to those of the Onmyoji.
Those twelve towers are the pillars of its formation to suppress the spiritual power of this world.
In Chu Xiaotian's opinion...this is not something that people in this world can do at all.
In other words, that person is very likely to come from...another world!
