Tengu Mountain, the forbidden area of Izanagi.
It was a mountain forest shrouded in darkness, and it was completely unclear what was going on inside.
At the entrance of the forest, there is a stone tablet placed here. There is an ancient saying written on it. It seems to be quite old. If it means, it probably means no entry, right
Under the leadership of Domon Kirara, everyone who had just been having a banquet in the hall of the house came here in a mighty manner.
Luo Zhen also came here, looking at the mountains and forests in front of him, magic power gathered in his eyes, and there was a faint light that could not be seen by outsiders.
That is the phenomenon when is activated.
After activating "Spirit Vision", Luo Zhen saw it immediately.
There is an invisible barrier surrounding this mountain forest.
(It should be , right?)
This is a very common type of barrier. It can isolate the space inside and outside the barrier, so that all things such as sounds and sights are covered. If used to the extreme, it can even be used as a maze, which is very confusing. Can't find a way into the barrier.
Domen Qiluo stood in front of the stone tablet, placed his hand on it, injected magic power into it, and began to mutter something.
The next second, the entire forest seemed to be swaying, shaking like a mirage.
In fact, it is only the barrier that is shaking, not the forest itself.
Under the control of Domon Kirara, the barrier covering the mountain forest was opened.
And when the barrier was opened and the mountains and forests really came into Luo Zhen's sight, Luo Zhen was almost startled by what he saw with his "spiritual vision".
(What a strong miasma!)
What came into view was the miasma that was like black air, rolling in the mountains and forests.
This is no joke.
You know, miasma is the air of death that is harmful to the living.
If it were an ordinary miasma, that would be fine. If an ordinary person encountered a miasma as strong as that in this mountain forest, they would immediately die of exhaustion as if they were cursed, right
This made Akabane Sorakan frown.
"Lord Qiluo, this..."
Akabane Sokan certainly wanted to express some opinions.
no way.
Unless you are a first-rate magician, entering a place with such a strong miasma will definitely be very dangerous.
If it was Luo Zhen, Akabane Sokuan wouldn't be too worried, but Akabane Raizhen is an ordinary person without even a little magic attainment. How could he enter such a place
In this regard, Tumen Qiluo said this indifferently.
"Don't worry, with the special characteristics of the , even if you don't have any magical attainments, the huge vitality brought by the qualities contained in the blood is still enough to sustain you in this miasmatic place for a night."
The implication is that if he hasn't come back by dawn, Akabane Raijin will have no choice but to ask for his own blessings.
"Or is it that the dignified second son of the Akabane family doesn't even dare to take such a risk?"
Domen Qiluo stimulated Akabane Kongkan, who made Akabane Kongkan's face sink and said nothing more.
Luo Zhen looked at this scene and turned his eyes towards Akabane Lei Zhen.
Akabane Raijin seems to have some understanding of the current situation, his face is slightly green, but the stubbornness revealed in his eyes is also coming out.
This guy has been reluctant to admit defeat since he was a child, and he certainly doesn’t want to be looked down upon easily now, right
(never mind…)
Luo Zhen didn't pay much attention to this.
Just like Domon Kirara said, the people of the Akabane clan are born with good vitality. Even if they are entangled by the strong miasma, they should be able to sustain themselves for a period of time.
(Anyway, Lei Zhen doesn’t really want to get the token and become the son-in-law of the Tumen clan. He probably just hangs around on the periphery, right?)
Of course, Luo Zhen didn't want to get the token.
(As a result, neither of us got the token, so the Akabane family was embarrassed, right?)
If you can't even pass a small trial, you can imagine what kind of ridicule and difficulties the Akabane clan will suffer.
Akabane Sokan naturally understands this.
"Just do your best."
Akabane Konguan gave these instructions to Luo Zhen and Akabane Leizhen. It was unclear whether he wanted them to work hard or to pay attention to their safety.
"Okay, you go in."
With a wave of Domen Qiluo's hand, everyone present moved to both sides and gave way to the entrance to the forest.
Luo Zhen and Akabane Raijin looked at each other, then stepped forward and walked into the forbidden area of Izanagi-ryu.
Everyone watched the two people leave, all whispering.
The trial was announced here.
… …
In the dark mountain forest, miasma spreads like mist.
Faintly, in the thick miasma, there seemed to be some chirping of birds, beasts and insects.
However, I also know that in such a miasma, ordinary birds and beasts cannot survive at all.
so…
"These sounds are probably made by shikigami who were born in the miasma, right?"
Luo Zhen was walking alone in the mountains and forests, muttering like this.
Shikigami are beings born in miasma.
Moreover, they need something to rely on before they can appear in the world.
Generally speaking, the objects of this support are dead objects, such as puppets or props used in magic. A powerful Onmyoji can use a charm as a support object to summon the shikigami. As long as the charm is not exhausted, the magic power will be lost. If it is not exhausted, it can summon thousands of troops.
As for the shikigami in this mountain forest...
"I'm afraid it's attached to a living thing, right?"
Shikigami are originally spiritual bodies, so it is not impossible to rely on the physical body.
However, this requires both superb skills and huge control. Otherwise, the shikigami will fall into a state of rage, treating everyone as an enemy regardless of friend or foe.
"But what this forbidden land needs is this kind of shikigami."
After all, the shikigami here are enemies used to hinder the entrants and train the entrants' abilities.
In view of this, Izanagi-ryu allowed the miasma to fill the entire mountain forest, and then allowed the shikigami to possess the birds and beasts in the mountain forest, becoming natural enemies and launching a merciless expulsion against the intruders.
"I don't know if that guy Lei Zhen can do it in a place like this."
Luo Zhen was idly thinking about this kind of thing.
After entering the forest, the two of them immediately seemed to be separated. Unknowingly, they were alone. They didn't know if it was the magic mechanism of the forest or if they were just lost.
"It's better to take care of yourself now."
Luo Zhen activated the skill of "Eye of Heaven" and spread out the ripples of magic power.
"Hmm...the accuracy is so low..."
It seems that because the strong miasma hinders the transmission of magic power, surprisingly few messages are transmitted back from the .
But even so, Luo Zhen still discovered it.
"Roar…"
"Roar…"
Some beastly roars were faintly heard from the miasma.
Luo Zhen activated the skill of "Spirit Vision" and also saw masses of magic power surging in the miasma, as well as pairs of eyes that lit up.
"I really have no time to spare..."
Luo Zhen smiled bitterly, but released his magic power without hesitation.
The next second, a black shadow emerged from the miasma.
