Chapter 287 Priest and Monk

“What is that sword?” An old priest asked with a gleam in his eyes.

“Manjusri Sword.”

“Is this the sword that your shrine has kept for hundreds of years that can subdue demons?”

Iori Fubuki glanced at the old priest and said seriously, “This is something that Master Liansheng entrusted me to keep.”

“Master Liansheng? Isn’t this something from our Shintoism?”

The old priest was angry, but Iori Fubuki just glanced at them and left with the sword case in his hand, with the Inugami following behind him happily.

Only Iori Miyaji was left facing the two old priests with unfriendly looks.

“This matter has to start from before…”

Iori Miyaji smiled apologetically and began to explain the reason.

In the backyard, Iori Fubuki placed the Manjusri sword in her room, came to the door, and looked towards Mount Fuji with Inugami.

“Tell me, is everything going well with Master Liansheng?”

“Nothing should happen.”

The Inugami wagged his tail, expressing his great confidence in the strength of Master Liansheng.

“Don’t worry. Priest Tian Hai and the abbot of Sensoji Temple have also gone to Mount Fuji. I believe they are capable of handling this snowstorm.”

Iori Fubuki shook her head and said, “You don’t understand. What I’m worried about is Priest Tian Hai and Abbot Ji En.”

Inugami was stunned for a moment, then his expression gradually became solemn.

……

The foot of Mount Fuji.

Looking at the group of demons and monsters outside who no longer dared to come over, Horii Yuji put away his middle finger which he had raised more than ten times, still feeling unsatisfied.

Just as he was about to lie down and rest for a while, thunder roared along with wind and snow, and bursts of purple lightning flashed.

The car windows also began to emit purple veins, like a huge lightning net.

Pinggong Qianye and the others are coming down?
Horii Yuji raised his head again and looked out through the car window.

Thunder was seen flashing nearby, and most of the monsters that were originally wandering around were killed by the thunder. Only a few small monsters fled in panic.

After a while, two figures appeared in the wind and snow.

Under the shining lightning, Horii Yuji clearly saw that one of them was a bald monk wearing a red cassock, and the other was wearing an ebonised hat and a light blue hunting robe as a priest’s uniform.

A monk, a priest?
What are they doing here?
Could it be that they were also transformed from monsters?

Horii Yuji didn’t say anything, nor did he get out of the car, but just watched what happened.

It was not until the two men crossed the magic-repelling circle set up by Hiramiya Chiye, walked to his car door and knocked on the window that Horii Yuji let down his guard and rolled down the window.

“Who are you two?” Horii Yuji asked anxiously.

“This is a place where demons gather. It’s not a good place. You should leave as soon as possible.”

The monk spoke, while Jingu beside him looked Horii Yuji around and said firmly, “You are waiting for someone.”

Horii Yuji did not answer this question, but instead asked about the two people’s origins.

When he heard that one of them was the abbot Ji’en of Sensō-ji Temple and the other was the priest Amami of Meiji Shrine, he immediately showed great respect and told them that he was staying there to wait for Master Rensheng.

“I didn’t expect Master Liansheng to have arrived here first. We are late.”

“It’s not too late. The snowstorm hasn’t dissipated yet.”

After a brief conversation, Abbot Ci’en and Priest Tianhai also headed for the top of Mount Fuji.

“With this support, it looks like the snow will soon stop and the sky will clear.”

After watching the two people leave, Horii Yuji closed the car door again. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of some dark shadows rushing towards him in the distance.

He was not in a hurry at all and raised his middle finger at the monsters rushing towards him.

This time, the fireworks did not appear as expected. The magic circle failed!

How come it suddenly stopped working?

Horii Yuji was so frightened that his face turned pale instantly. Without having time to think about anything, he hurriedly turned the Vairocana Buddha statue in his hand toward the car window to disperse the group of demons that were gathering around him.

He had just driven away the demons on the left when the demons on the right surrounded him again. Horii Yuji had no choice but to turn the Vairocana Buddha statue to the right again.

Sometimes left, sometimes right, sometimes forward, sometimes backward, busy all the time.

The summit of Mount Fuji.

Inside the Snow Girl’s cave, Horii Suzune followed the instructions of Hiramiya Chiya and smoothly entered into a state of meditation, successfully entering the Snow Girl’s frozen spiritual world with her consciousness.

In the vast white world, there is only an ice lake and white snow flying all over the sky.

The wind here is very light, even the falling snow becomes particularly gentle.

In the center of the ice lake, there appeared an ice sculpture of a snow girl.

Horii Suzune came to the lakeside, looked at the unfrozen water in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped on the lake surface.

The toes touched the lake, a layer of ice rose up, and lifted up Horii Suzune’s body.

Horii Suzune breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking on the surface of the lake towards the center of the lake.

When she arrived in front of the Snow Girl ice sculpture, she heard a faint voice coming from inside the ice sculpture.

“Who are you?”

“Horii Suzune, it was Master Liansheng who helped me get in.”

“He really was able to find a way to get in here.”

“Yeah, nothing is too hard for him.”

A smile appeared on Horii Suzune’s face. She herself had never thought that she could be of such great use.

Neither Qingxuande nor Pinggong Qianye can enter this world of frozen hearts, but only an ordinary person like her can enter easily.

According to Hiramiya Chiya, this is the glimmer of hope that the Snow Girl left for him.

Any powerful existence will be blocked outside, and only ordinary people who are not dangerous at all can enter her spiritual world.

“How can I save you?”

“You can’t save me.”

“what?”

“You can only help me pass on a few words, that’s enough.”

“it is good.”

Horii Suzune nodded, signaling the Snow Girl to start delivering the message.

“Stop the Seven Sinners, they want to become gods!”

Horii Suzune remembered this sentence and waited for a long time. Seeing that the Snow Girl had not said the second sentence, she could not help but ask: “Is this all?”

After a long time, the Snow Girl’s voice came out again, “I am very weak now and cannot communicate with you for a long time.”

“You only need to tell Master Liansheng that the Seven Evil Lords captured me in order to observe my path to becoming a god, and to take the opportunity to create disasters with wind and snow…”

At this point, the Snow Girl’s voice stopped abruptly.

Horii Suzune waited patiently for a while, until the Snow Girl was completely motionless, then she turned around and walked across the ice again.

I should leave.

At this time, at the entrance leading to the top of Mount Fuji, Qingxuande drove away the nearby monsters and demons, and waited for the arrival of Abbot Ji’en and Priest Tianhai who came in the wind and snow.

“Monster, you must be killed!”

The first time the priest Tianhai saw Qingxuande, he took out a palm-sized dagger from his waist, chanted a spell to attract lightning, and struck Qingxuande fiercely!
Thunder roared and lightning flashed.
