Lin Zichen looked around. The main hall of Hengwu Shrine was very large. Although it looked like a three-story attic from the outside, the inside was a space that stretched to the ceiling.
There are stairs on both sides of the hall, which can lead to the second and third floors. However, the second and third floors only have a circle around them. Looking down from the corridor, you can see the whole hall. I wonder if it is for some purpose.
This is how the sacrificial activities are built.
There are hand-painted patterns all around the hall and on the roof more than ten meters high, and most of these patterns are paintings with Yingguo characteristics, mainly exaggerated abstract paintings.
"Mr. Lin, this palace is very evil." Heiyu instinctively felt some aura and said.
Lin Zichen nodded: "Yes, the paintings on the walls and roofs are mostly ghosts and gods from the Ying Kingdom. Presumably the onmyojis here have shikigami skills."
"Shikigami means?"
"That's right, there is a kind of control technique in Onmyoji, which is to use one's own power to control the soul. This kind of soul is what China calls ghosts and gods. Controlling ghosts and gods to fight for it has some intersection with occult arts!" Lin Zichen
As he spoke, he felt the movement around him vigilantly.
Boom... boom...
While the two were talking, they heard a few sounds, and the windows on the second and third floors suddenly closed one after another, and the originally bright hall suddenly became dim.
In about four or five seconds, all the windows were closed, and only the light from the roof was left in the hall.
The roof of the hall is made of frosted glass, with portraits of different ghosts and gods painted on it, so the light in the hall at this time is not transparent white, but dim colors composed of red, blue, green, yellow and other colors.
"Sir, there is someone here!"
"Of course, if we come here, he will definitely be waiting for us here, but...it seems they still prefer to be in secret!"
As they said that, the two of them looked back to back at everything in the hall, but no one could be seen from the first to the third floor, and there was only a kind of silent terror.
Suddenly, a white shadow flashed past, and Lin Zichen and Hei Yu reacted immediately, but when they turned to the white shadow, the white shadow had already disappeared.
Lin Zichen frowned slightly: "They are starting to take action, Heiyu, be careful!"
After all, Heiyu's strength at this time is only at the peak of the Mortal Realm. You must know that even at the peak, it is very different from the Heavenly Realm.
"Don't worry, these inferior goods won't cheer me up!"
Just as he was talking, another figure flashed past, but just like before, it just disappeared briefly, without even leaving any trace of its appearance.
"This... is too fast..." Black Feather's expression suddenly changed. He was still arrogant just now, but now there is a trace of confusion on his face.
Lin Zichen rolled his eyes and said, "This...should not be a human!"
"Not a human? A ghost?"
"That's right, he is indeed an Onmyoji with shikigami skills. Haha, I've seen it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two white shadows appeared from two directions, and this time, Lin Zichen saw the appearance of the white shadow clearly.
Bai Ying is actually a person wearing a white gown. The person's hair is very long, hanging down from both sides, almost past his chest. He wears a white high hat on his head. He looks like a character from the Chinese mythology Black and White Impermanence.
Bai Wuchang!
It's just that Bai Ying's appearance is not that ferocious and terrifying, but rather a bit gentle. He can't distinguish the appearance of a man and a woman, his eyebrows are drawn, and his cheeks are obviously blushed.
Although the white shadow flashed past again, Lin Zichen's sharp eyes did not let him miss it again.
"Sir, this ghost looks so strange!"
Black Feather also saw Bai Ying's appearance clearly this time. After all, he has an eagle eye, and his visual capture ability is quite powerful.
Soon, after the white shadow disappeared, two more black shadows floated down from top to bottom. This time, they did not disappear in a flash like before, but slowly fell down.
The appearance of the black shadow is almost the same as that of the white shadow. The only difference is that the long gown and high hat on the body have become black.
"Onmyoji!" Lin Zichen gritted his teeth and said.
He immediately recognized the costumes of these black and white figures, wearing hunting clothes, black hats on their heads, and pointing fingers down. These were clearly Onmyoji!
"Onmyoji? Aren't these ghosts?" Kuroyu asked.
Lin Zichen sneered: "Yes, but this Onmyoji controls the ghosts and gods of another Onmyoji. If you use the shikigami in this way, you will undoubtedly be more powerful!"
"Onmyoji controls Onmyoji... But sir, how could he control so many Onmyoji's ghosts and gods at the same time?"
"Because..." Lin Zichen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the two approaching black figures, "There is more than one Onmyoji in this hall!"
With that said, Lin Zichen opened his arms and rushed towards the two black figures, with Heiyu following closely behind.
Lin Zichen glared at the black shadow, his hands turned into tiger claws, and he grabbed the opponent's throat directly. However, facing Lin Zichen's attack, the expressions of the two black-clothed onmyojis remained calm, and even smiled, with a look of defeat on their faces.
Wearing blush and such a smile, it immediately makes people feel like they have encountered a pervert.
Swish…
With a swish sound, the two black shadows suddenly faded until they disappeared completely. At this moment, Lin Zichen clearly felt a biting cold air coming from behind.
When he turned around, he saw two onmyoji in white approaching quickly. They didn't even take a step, they were almost moving close to the ground. They clearly had the characteristics of ghosts and gods.
Black Feather also turned his head at the same time, shouted sharply, and shot out two rays of true energy, directly piercing the body of the white-clothed onmyoji. However, the body of the onmyoji seemed to be empty words, and a hole was shot out by the true energy, and it immediately collapsed.
of blood, but soon became distorted until it returned to its original appearance.
"This...could this ghost be in gaseous form?"
Lin Zichen frowned: "No, this is simply a mirror image. The characteristic of a mirror image attack is that it has extremely strong attack power, but does not require any defense, because even if it is defeated, it will slowly recover."
"What? Doesn't that mean you can't be killed at all?"
"So... we must find the place where the real Onmyoji is!" As he said that, Lin Zichen looked around, but no matter whether it was on the first floor of the palace or in the corridors on the second and third floors, he couldn't feel a breath at all.
, obviously no one exists at all.
Could it be... that it's in a room in the corridor on the second or third floor? If so, it means that this kind of control is all based on perception, and you don't need to see your opponent to attack!
"Heiyu, I'll go take a look at the rooms in the corridor. You can withstand the attacks of these Onmyojis!" Lin Zichen said.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, leave this to me!"
Afterwards, Lin Zichen jumped up and went to the corridor on the second floor. But just as he jumped on the corridor, he saw several onmyojis wearing different black and white hunting clothes floating over at the same time. At a glance, there were seven or eight of them.
At this time, it was the same on the first floor. Black Feather was already surrounded by more than a dozen Onmyoji at the same time.
Lin Zichen frowned. He hadn't actually fought before, and he didn't know what the methods of these onmyojis were, but he was still a little worried when he saw Black Feather being surrounded.
Suddenly, several Onmyojis took action at the same time, and several visible auras extended towards Lin Zichen. During the interlacing, a white mesh was formed. Lin Zichen immediately jumped up again, and those mesh auras actually followed Lin Zichen.
Keep extending.
Finally, all the auras intersected, and Lin Zichen was immediately completely blocked by a big net.
Huh, there are so many ghosts and gods. It seems that there are really many Onmyoji in this Hengwu Shrine. Well, I want to see where you are hiding!
As he spoke, Lin Zichen turned up his hands, and two balls of flame suddenly burned in his hands. The flames roared angrily, like a beast roaring, and there were echoes in the hall.
Lin Zichen pushed his hands forward for a moment, and the flames suddenly attacked. The white mesh aura was burned away the moment it came into contact with the flames. No matter how powerful your aura is, how can it withstand the soul fire of this fire lion?
?
In an instant, all the auras in the network were burned out, but Lin Zichen did not stop, letting the flames continue to rush until all the onmyojis were contained in the flames. At this moment, the second-floor corridor was filled with a sea of fire.
But those Onmyojis were still floating in the fire.
Lin Zichen gritted his teeth, even the beast fire can't burn you...
It seems that he has no choice. He must use the cover of flames to find the location of the real Onmyoji!
On the first floor, Heiyu also faced the restraints of this big white net. Suddenly, he jumped up to several meters high, opened his mouth and drank out a stream of true energy. The true energy was like a sharp sword blade, wherever it passed, it would be destroyed.
The big net chopped it into pieces, and finally the white aura disappeared into the dark space.
However, he encountered the same problem as Lin Zichen, that is, although he could destroy those white mesh auras, he could not kill these black and white onmyojis. More than a dozen onmyojis were spinning back and forth around him, making him feel dizzy just by sight.
.
Suddenly, several Onmyoji opened their eyes wide at the same time, stopped their movements in a blink of an eye, and stood upright to face Kuroha in the middle.
At this moment, a piece of yellow talisman paper suddenly floated from above. It seemed like the talisman paper was swinging left and right in the space, but it carried an indescribable power. Finally, it landed steadily on top of Heiyu's head.
At this moment, Heiyu was stunned for a moment, and a strange feeling suddenly filled his whole body. Then, he saw that starting from the top of his head, all the way to his feet, he turned to stone inch by inch, and finally turned into a stone sculpture.
!
"Black Feather..." Seeing this, Lin Zichen shouted.
"Master, what's going on? How could Black Feather..."
"It's a talisman, one of the techniques commonly used by Onmyoji!"
"Then what should we do now? Can we save Heiyu by removing the spell?" Xiaofeng said.
Lin Zichen shook his head: "No, once the spell works, the talisman paper is actually invalid. There are only two ways to break the spell. The caster comes to pick it up in person, or... kill the caster!"
After saying that, Lin Zichen made a ferocious face, and immediately ran towards one of the rooms on the second floor, surrounded by flames.
He raised his foot and kicked towards the door. The door was kicked down. The decoration in the room was very simple, with a carpet and a long table.
At this time, there was an Onmyoji sitting in front of the long table, his eyes closed and he was thinking something.
