Seeing Eriko looking at him, the yin-yang master's face changed quickly a few times, then he leaned over slightly and saluted Eriko, stood up and gave up his position to Eriko, turned around and walked to stand in front of the other yin-yang master. The yin and yang master opposite was very knowledgeable. He immediately bowed and stood up, walked towards the last position of everyone and sat down again.

In this way, a seat handover was completed silently in the room...

If Mr. Ito were here, he might be able to chat with the gray-haired yin-yang masters and shrine maidens in the front row and ask for some news. But this time it was Eriko who came to represent the Ito family, so Eriko, who didn’t know much about the heads of these various departments, would naturally not talk to them rashly. This would not only make others feel that the Ito family was not reserved, but also undermine the etiquette. .

In this way, Eriko also followed the example of others, looking at her nose and nose, and her hands were crossed in front of her lower abdomen and placed on her thighs. Her two thumbs faced each other in a virtual hug, and she fell silent. Ito Shige, who was behind Eriko, looked at the young yinyou master and miko for a few times, and then followed Eriko's example and became silent.

At this time, there was no other sound in the room except for the slightly heavy breathing of the yin and yang masters and witches who had insufficient cultivation.

Shortly after Eriko and Ito Cheng took their seats, the voice of a miko came again from outside the door, and then several more men and women walked in, welcoming the temptations of everyone in the room. Naturally, Eriko's participation was indispensable this time. .

Faced with everyone's probing, the latter paused slightly, then expressionlessly led a few people to choose a seat and sit down. And within more than half an hour after his arrival. Four or five more people, a total of twenty people, came one after another, filling the originally empty room.

At this time, I saw that the originally closed paper wooden sliding door was suddenly opened from the outside without any warning, and then a man wearing a red seyin Yangshi hunting suit, holding a small folding fan, a symbol of ancient Japan, and wearing a high headband He has a tall black hat and a strong body. The man who looked to be in his fifties strode into the house with a majestic look. Without even looking at anyone else, he walked straight to the seat at the end of the room from the only empty passage in the house. He lifted up his sleeves with both hands and sat down on his knees.

"I've seen Mr. Masaki, the manager." After the new man sat down, everyone in the room leaned to the ground. shouted in unison.

"Yes." Bassoon tapped the small fan held in his right hand on the palm of his left hand and responded in a slightly thick voice. Then his eyes slowly swept over everyone present one by one, and he said, "You are very good."

Regarding these words of unknown meaning, everyone present remained silent and waited quietly for the chief steward's next words.

"There are two main purposes for summoning you here this time." After a pause, Chief Steward Masaki said, "The first is to assist in the defense of Kyoto as mentioned during the summons, to prevent attacks by monsters outside the barrier, and to protect the The safety of the royal family. The second is to select a few mature and prudent people among you to go to the main palace in Ise with the personnel sent from Kyoto to defend there. Ensure the normal operation of the magic circle and suppress the evil spirits."

"Chief Steward." At this time, a middle-aged yin and yang master who was only in his thirties bowed and said after the chief steward finished speaking, "I don't know that the evil demon in your mouth is the unknown entity that sent out soul attacks during the day. "

"Yes." The big steward unconsciously tapped his left palm on the small folding fan in his hand and said softly.

"I wonder what kind of evil that is." The man leaned forward and put his hands on the ground. He still asked respectfully.

"I think many of you are curious about this question." The big steward tapped the small fan in his hand again, squinting his eyes and looking at everyone present with a half-smile on his face.

"Yes." Everyone agreed.

"Hey, since the war, the inheritance of Yin and Yang Dao has been cut off a lot. No wonder you don't know it well." The big steward sighed darkly. He preached, "More than a thousand years ago, for unknown reasons, a [Peeping Bird] came from the Song Dynasty at that time. It wreaked havoc on Japan for three years and ate countless people. During this period, no one could cure it. One by one, Anbei, the Great Yin and Yang Master at that time, was informed. Mr. Seimei. After hearing the news, Mr. [.] quickly rushed to the place where [Peeping] was wreaking havoc. He fought with it for two days and nights before sealing it. This is the origin of that evil demon."

"[Peeping]? I remember it seems to be a kind of man-eating monster that lives in Shaoxian Mountain in myths and legends. It is shaped like a cow, has a red body, has a human face and horse feet, and makes a sound like a baby." After hearing what the chief steward said, Ito Cheng thought to himself.

"Is that evil demon so strong? It can actually fight with Mr. Ampere for two days and nights!" One of the young yin and yang masters who looked to be only in his twenties said in surprise. Obviously in his mind, the name Abe Qingming itself is a symbol of power. The monster that can fight with it for two days and nights must be against the sky, at least as good as the legendary nine-tailed fox.

"Don't be rude." The old yin-yang master in front of the yin-yang master who spoke quickly shouted to the young man in a low voice, then touched his forehead to the ground and said respectfully, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Masaki."

"It doesn't matter." The big steward tapped the small fan in his hand and said calmly.

"Thank you, Chief Steward." The man touched his forehead to the ground again, then respectfully continued to listen.

"Is there anything else you don't understand?" The big steward glanced at the many yin and yang masters and witches in front of him, and asked again.

"No more." Everyone said in unison.

"Well, I will start the roll call now. The people whose names I read are the people who will accompany the team from Kyoto to Ise Main Palace. As for the other people whose names are not read, they can go to the front hall to find the Heian Palace Shrine after the meeting. Please check your own defense zone," the chief steward said.

"Yes!" everyone responded.

"Mishima Nozomi, Ogata Hiroto, Kitajima Seiichiro, Yanagawa Aoto, Terashima Shintaro..." The chief steward took out a piece of white paper from his arms and started clicking the names one by one according to the names on it. Whenever he read a name, a yin-yang master below would say "yes", and he continued to click on more than ten names before stopping.

And Ito Cheng discovered that these named people were all male sex masters in the room, and they were all men with mature looks. Sure enough, he was chosen according to the saying of a mature and prudent person, and there is no falsehood at all.

"Follow me to see the leader of the Kyoto team." The chief steward said, shaking his sleeves, he stood up from his seat and walked outside.

"Yes." The dozen or so yin-yang masters responded quickly. Those without heirs or disciples immediately stood up and waited for the arrival of the chief steward, while those with heirs or disciples hurriedly whispered a few words of warning, or asked for help. The acquaintances in the room asked him to take care of him, and then they quickly stood up and followed the steward out of the room.

"Let's go too." After the chief steward and the Yin Yang masters left, Eriko said to Ito Cheng behind her.

"Yes." Ito Cheng agreed, stretched out his hand on the ground, stood up, and followed Eriko in front of him towards the front hall of Heian Palace. The two of them walked slowly and soon arrived at the front hall of the Peace Palace and found the club owner kneeling in the front hall.

"Sir." After meeting the club owner, Eriko quickly walked two steps, came to the club owner, bowed and said, "I am Ito Eriko from the Ito family in Tokyo. I came to ask for the location of the guard area."

"Come and see me." The social resident said calmly with a kind smile on his face. Then he took a scroll from his leg, spread it out in front of him, and looked at each one.

"Yes, your defense area is in Xijing District. Just take this to Matsuo Taisha Shrine there and give it to the owner of Matsuo Taisha Shrine." The owner reached out and picked up one from the wooden tube on the left side of his body. He raised his head and handed the bamboo stick with peace and a charm written on it to Eriko and said at the same time.

"Thank you very much." Eriko leaned forward slightly, took the bamboo stick with both hands, thanked her, and then said goodbye, "Then let's take our leave."

"Go." The owner smiled, nodded, and waved.

Eriko leaned over and bowed to him again, and left the front hall with Ito Cheng. He passed by other members of the Shinto system who came to inquire about the defense area, and quickly walked out of the Heian Palace and headed towards Xijing District.

"It seems we are lucky. There is actually a shrine in the defense area. It is much easier, and the place to live is solved together." After walking out of Heian Shrine, Ito Cheng said with a smile to Eriko beside him.

"Indeed." Eriko smiled and nodded.

Then the two took the city bus to Xijing District and found Matsuo Taisha Shrine. After Eriko handed the bamboo stick in her hand to the owner, she was enthusiastically brought indoors, arranged a room, and settled in.

"Hey, it seems that I am too optimistic. I didn't expect that in this Matsuo Taisha Shrine, except for the owner who is an old man with spiritual power, the other shrine maidens are just ordinary people who are proficient in swordsmanship and divine rituals. They only count on my mother and me. It is too difficult for two people to protect such a large area." In the room, Ito Cheng complained to Eriko.

"Wait a minute, maybe there are others responsible for guarding Xijing District." Eriko comforted.

"Hope." Ito Cheng curled his lips and lay on his back on the tatami with his limbs spread wide.

"You." Looking at Ito Cheng's appearance, Eriko smiled helplessly, then sat cross-legged and practiced her spiritual power.

Perhaps the wine god enshrined in Matsuo Taisha heard Ito Shige's complaint. About ten minutes later, another Yin Yang master and two shrine maidens came to Matsuo Taisha and stayed. Including Ito Cheng's mother and son, there are six combat personnel, which has reached the basic personnel composition to defend Nishikyo District. What's more, although these witches are just ordinary people, with the artifacts blessed by the Yin Yang Master, they can be used as one or two combat forces with the cooperation of many people, so there is no problem.
