I swept the Phoenix with the Onmyoji Shikigami

“So weird?” Xinghan sighed, but a hint of joy rose in his heart, “Did you find it? It turns out that the detection of spiritual power... is really possible!”

Qingji's explanation was clear, powerful and flawless, but when Xinghan bent down to look again, the stone appeared again.

He stared down at the seemingly ordinary stone, his eyes flickering with confusion and curiosity, and even ignored Qingji's words that the stone had disappeared.

"Is this the stone?" Xinghan said, bending down and carefully reaching out to pick up the stone. However, the moment he touched the stone, it disappeared in his palm. He looked up in surprise, only to see that the stone was lying quietly on the ground again, as if it had never been moved.

"It's not this stone... Hey, it's this stone! How come it is still here?" Qingji's voice sounded in her ears, and she was also confused about seeing this stone again.

"Are you sure you just touched this stone and noticed the entrance to the cave?"

Qing Ji nodded quickly and said softly, "Yes, but this stone is not an ordinary thing. We can't move it."

"This..." Xinghan was stunned. He bent down to pick it up again. After picking up the stone, it disappeared again.

"Very good, you can't move! You don't dare to move, right?" Xinghan curled his lips, feeling that the stone on the ground was very much like his angry girlfriend.

This time, he observed more carefully, trying to find out the mystery.

Even an angry girlfriend would say a few angry words. Here’s a clue: this stone is simply a “wooden man”.

"Sir! Are you ordering me not to move?" Qingji maintained a funny posture, as if she took Xinghan's words seriously, thinking that he was ordering her to do so.

"No... that's not necessary." Xinghan smiled helplessly, "You can move, go ahead."

After hearing this, Qingji showed a relieved look on her face and walked forward. She also tried to pick up the stone, but the result was the same as Xinghan.

The stone disappeared in the palm of the hand in an instant, but did not reappear on the ground.

The two looked at each other, both confused. "My Lord, I lost the stone. I'm sorry."

Yes, you dare to do it next time.

"Wait, it appears!" Xinghan stared at the ground and finally found the stone that appeared again after a moment.

"You are slower than me..." Xinghan held the stone in his palm, felt the signs when it disappeared, and summed up several rules.

First, stones can be picked up.

Second, the stone will disappear.

Third, the stone will appear.

However, when Xinghan and Qingji operated it respectively, the "reaction" of the stone was slightly different.

Xinghan also felt that this tiny difference could be ignored.

"Maybe... I shouldn't touch it with my hands." Xinghan murmured, still thinking about various possibilities.

"Yes, sir." Qingji nodded, her eyes twinkling.

"Let's try using something else to trigger the mechanism." Xinghan came to this conclusion after careful observation.

Qingji immediately understood what Xinghan meant. She looked around and her eyes fell on a branch on the ground. "Sir, there are a few branches there."

The two of them found a few branches and tried to touch the stone by picking up food.

However, no matter what they did, the hole did not reappear.

"Could it be... that I was wrong?" Xinghan's frown deepened.

"No, my lord is not wrong." Qingji looked at Xinghan firmly and nodded at him.

"Um, thank you for your trust." Xinghan saw the deep unwillingness in Qingji's eyes and wanted to step back a little.

That look is quite intimidating.

"Sir, let me try." Qingji used her black mist ability.

In an instant, black mist surrounded the stone and gently lifted it up.

However, the entrance to the cave still did not appear.

"It seems that the conditions for triggering the mechanism are not that simple." Xinghan frowned, "We need to understand the principle of the cave's appearance more deeply."

"principle?"

"Yes, the principle is... there is no principle." Xinghan shook his head. He was still confused by some of the laws of this world.

But this only intensified his curiosity.

Everything has its own rules. Xinghan guessed that even magic has its own traces.

The main thing is... think about what kind of fantasies the author has in his mind, and you will know how the world operates.

Now it seems that Xinghan can only say, "Everything is possible."

Qingji lowered her eyes gently and said calmly, "Sir, you have a very good attitude."

Xinghan suddenly stopped, a gleam of enlightenment flashed in his eyes, and he murmured to himself: "Attitude...Yes, we need to change our mentality to face this problem."

He turned his head and looked at Qingji, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Qingji, perhaps we can try some unusual methods." Xinghan suggested, his voice full of anticipation.

Qingji blinked and asked curiously: "Unusual method? You mean..."

"Ah! Why don't we try the unorthodox method... no, the side door method!"

"Unorthodox? Sir, I don't understand, what does this mean?"

Xinghan waved his arms excitedly. "Let's try to lift this stone in all kinds of weird... no, different ways."

Qingji was infected by Xinghan's enthusiasm. She nodded with a smile on her face. "Okay, sir, Qingji will listen to you."

"Great! Let's give it a try."

So the two began their attempt.

Xinghan held his chin, seeming to be thinking about what to do.

After a while, he stood up and paced again, and Qingji followed Xinghan silently.

As he walked, Xinghan suddenly stopped, his eyes focused ahead, as if he had discovered some important clue.

He stood there, motionless.

Qingji, who was following closely behind him, was too close to him and did not notice Xinghan's stop in time.

I bumped into his back without paying attention.

At that moment, Xinghan felt as if he had hit a stove. A burning sensation came over him, causing him to exclaim, "Ouch!"

"Ouch!" Qingji took a few steps back and rubbed her forehead, her eyes full of surprise and confusion, "Sir, is your body made of ice?"

Xinghan looked indifferent, thinking in his heart, Qingji, your body is like a furnace!

When Qingji looked up at Xinghan, she saw that his face was calm and his eyes were firm, as if he was not affected by anything.

"I'm not cold, thank you!" Xinghan was a little surprised by Qingji's concern. He didn't expect that the Shikigami would care about him.

"I'm sorry, sir, I didn't notice you stopped." Qingji apologized somewhat awkwardly, but at the same time she was curious about why Xinghan suddenly stopped.

Xinghan looked at Qingji, a trace of apology flashing in his eyes: "It's not your fault that I rear-ended someone! I was too focused and didn't notice you behind me. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Qing Ji rubbed his forehead, then asked curiously, "Sir, have you thought of any good ideas?"

Xinghan nodded, his eyes searching the surrounding stone walls.

He frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.

After a moment, a determined light flashed in his eyes, and he said to Qingji, "I need you to help me find a stone."

Xinghan's voice was steady and powerful, and his eyes revealed an unquestionable confidence.

"Stone? Sir, you still want a stone?" Qingji was slightly stunned.

"Correct!"

Qingji nodded with a confused look in her eyes, "Yes, sir."

She looked around, her eyes scanning the corners and stone walls of the cave, searching for a suitable stone.

"What kind of stone?" Qingji asked softly, with a hint of inquiry in her voice.

"It doesn't have to be too big, but it has to have some weight." Xinghan explained carefully, and he gently raised his finger.

Elegantly draw an imaginary circle in the air, as if you are tracing the outline of a work of art rather than selecting a simple stone.

"Okay, sir." Qingji nodded seriously, her eyes became sharp and focused, as if she wanted to take in the entire stone wall of the cave.

She walked slowly around the stone wall, searching every nook and cranny carefully.

"Found it!" Qingji waved her arms violently, like a master controlling the storm.

As she waved her arms, a powerful airflow rushed towards the stone wall...
