"Shinaka, why did we come to this kind of place?" Passing through the torii gate and walking up the long stairs, Ryota Yamamoto complained. Maybe he once had a horrible experience in a shrine. He is very taboo about shrines now, so even if he knows that Chiba Shrine is inhabited, he is worried that a ghost will appear at any time.

"Just to take a look." Li Xuehao said indifferently, looking in the direction of the shrine above, "After all, Senior Qianye is the 'deputy head' of our spiritual society. It is also a kind of courtesy to come to visit."

"Then why am I accompanying you instead of my sister?" Ryota Yamamoto was still very upset.

"You talk too much, Yamamoto." Li Xuehao didn't bother to explain. Although he had some selfish intentions in his heart, it was because Ryota Yamamoto had already experienced such a thing, so even if something really happened later, he should be fine. Stand up.

As for the two girls Yamamoto Ayane and Aisaka Jun, they stayed in front of the torii gate to take care of the fish they caught, and the king eel had already been released. Yamamoto Ryota, who had been despised by it before, did not dare to eat it anymore, so he had to let it go .

After walking the stairs, the two stepped onto the main hall of the shrine.

The main hall is very lively, but very quiet, which seems quite contradictory.

Yet it is what it is.

In the open space in front of the main hall, there was a circle of more than 20 girls, all wearing the same kind of costumes, all of which were maiden costumes with white top and red bottom. Although there were many people, they all looked very solemn, and there was no whispering.

In front of them stood a tall old man.

The old man was about seventy years old, and he was wearing a white safari suit. Because of his burly body, he was about 1.9 meters tall, giving him a mighty impression.

There is a goatee on the chin, but it doesn't make people feel weird and ridiculous. The hair is also deliberately long, showing a gray color, and it is pulled up in a bun and thrown behind him. It looks very tall.

He didn't say a word, and looked intently at the center of a circle with a diameter of about ten meters surrounded by more than twenty girls. There was nothing there, but his eyes were fixed on it.

Each of the girls held a handle of royal coins in their hands, and walked slowly in a circular circle, occasionally swinging the royal coins in their hands from side to side.

Among the more than twenty girls, one of them was the petite, about 1.5 meters, and it was easy to make her stand out, because it was too obvious.

"That's Senior Chiba, what are they doing?" Ryota Yamamoto was very curious, what kind of ceremony was being held in this situation.

"Shh~~" Li Xuehao hissed softly, and his eyes were set on the center of the circle surrounded by girls. To ordinary people, there was nothing there, but he could see it very clearly. There— —locked a wild boar.

A huge wild boar.

It is about 1.5 meters tall, about 3 meters long, and weighs at least a thousand kilograms. Its huge and sharp fangs are constantly roaring and roaring.

The wild boar's four hooves were entangled by four thick chains, and were firmly locked on the ground. Apart from roaring and shaking its huge body, there was no way to break free.

This is, the Earthbound Spirit!

And it's not the earth-bound spirit formed after the death of human beings, but the earth-bound spirit formed after the death of a wild boar with almost no intelligence.

The special evil spirit that Li Xuehao felt just now came from this huge wild boar spirit.

As far as he knows, the scope of activities of ordinary people or animals after death is restricted by region, and the spirit body bound in this place is the earth-bound spirit.

Earth-bound spirits can be regarded as a type of evil spirits. Usually, they cannot be freed from reincarnation because of resentment, grievances, unresolved grievances, unrevenge and other reasons. Over time, they will form evil spirits. , causing damage to nearby living creatures.

The wild boar in front of him had obviously been around for a long time, and he had a strong evil spirit.

However, evil spirits are generally maintained within a range, and this range is the range in which the earth-bound spirit can move. But if it was just like this, even Li Xuehao couldn't sense it from such a far away place just now.

And seeing the scene in front of him, it can be explained. Obviously, the people in the shrine are preparing to get rid of the wild boar's ground spirit, which arouses its resistance, and the evil spirit is thus scattered.

Although earthbound spirits are a type of evil spirits, they generally don't take the initiative to attack people, unless their enemies will be violently attacked when they approach them.

If it is not necessary, it is best not to move it. This is a negative way to deal with the earthbound spirit. But it may be that the wild boar's evil spirit is too strong, which affects the normal operation of the shrine, so the shrine plans to get rid of it.

However, the wild boar spirit has existed for at least a few decades, and the evil spirit on its body is so strong that it forms a circle of black smoke covering its body. If the bondage is broken, it will be a catastrophe for the people in the entire shrine.

The burly old man was probably the abbot of the shrine, and Li Xuehao also found a little bit of aura in him, although the level of that little was not even as good as the ones he released as "bait" before.

But that is also aura, so it is not surprising that he can see the spirit body of the wild boar earthbound spirit. However, the priestesses in a circle don't have the slightest aura on them. It is estimated that the ability to surround the wild boar earthbound spirit in the middle is also according to the abbot. ordered.

Because the "circle" changed its shape from time to time, and when the distance was too close to the boar's ground binding spirit, it was quickly modified under the direction of the abbot's gestures.

The unexpected appearance of Li Xuehao and the two did not disturb the abbot and the priestesses' exorcism ceremony. They were still focusing on their own affairs, as if they were transparent.

But soon, a woman also wearing a priestess costume ran from a distance. She was very fast, and she was in front of her in a blink of an eye, looking at the two of them coldly.

"Hey, you two guys, don't you know that the shrine is closed to the public today?"

The woman is about 20 years old, tall and tall, about 1.75 meters, and the large maiden costume looks very close to her body. She wears white socks and clogs on her feet, which is a traditional maiden dress.

Holding a sword in his right hand, the blue scabbard is made of unknown material, and while it looks full of antiquity, it also has a very restrained atmosphere.

That is a real sword!

It's not a wooden sword, nor a bamboo sword, it must be a cold blade when pulled out.
