Zongman: Harem's Music

After responding to the concerns of his companions one by one, Coral, carrying the flying bones on his back, walked straight towards the warehouse.

Coral untied a package from her back, opened it on the ground, and said to the woman in charge of the warehouse, "I brought back some tentacles and skin from the centipede monster this time. Let's use them as materials for making armor!"

Pound! Pound! Pound! Pound!

A two-tailed cat the size of a palm quickly flew across the ground and pounced into Coral's arms.

Coral, whose cheeks were slightly itchy from the cat's tongue, patted its head lovingly: "Mica, have you been good when I'm not home?"

Mica chirped twice and rubbed Coral's cheek happily.

"Sister~"

Following Yunmu from a distance was indeed a little boy jogging towards her.

Holding Mica, Coral smiled and greeted her brother: "Amber, I'm back!"

"Father, he..."

Amber realized something midway through her words and corrected him, "The leader told me to call you over!"

"Oh!"

Coral smiled and nodded, thinking: Come to think of it... Amber is old enough to become an exorcist!

……

A larger mansion in the center of the village.

"Really? You got another fragment of the Four Souls Jade! Well done, Coral!"

The leader of the Exorcist Village, San (name), took the Four Souls Jade fragment from Sangu, placed it on the altar on the altar, clasped his hands together and prayed silently!

There were five fragments emitting soft light on the altar.

Shanhu was puzzled: "Father, can this suppress the evil spirit of the fragments?"

"Of course it can't be that simple!"

Yan Que was also honest and didn't try to save face. "This is just a ritual. If it was so simple to suppress the evil spirit of the jade, the leader wouldn't have given the jade to the witch to protect it more than 50 years ago!"

"really……"

"Fifty years ago, the leader entrusted the intact jade to a powerful shrine maiden, who indeed purified it. Unexpectedly, the leader ultimately... perished at the hands of a monster that coveted the jade..."

"What we can do..."

Yan turned around and looked at his two children with his hands behind his back: "It means that until we find someone with strong spiritual power who possesses the purification jade, we should collect as much jade as possible and keep it for them temporarily."

Amber was curious: "What kind of person is that?"

"coral!"

"Um?"

"Do you remember the boy we met in Musashi border two years ago?"

"He wore a divine robe with a Higanbana pattern and called himself Nishimiya Tsuyoshi. He helped us eliminate the monsters and then headed north..."

Coral couldn't help but smile as she recalled the memory. "How could I have forgotten? It's almost exactly the same as the description that was spread among the martial priests of various nations not long after!"

"Yes!"

A look of reminiscence also appeared on Yan's face. "I never thought that the young man who got lost back then would be such a powerful figure. He reduced the number of youkai exiles from the six kingdoms of Hokuriku by more than two-thirds... Just thinking about it makes my blood boil!"

Seeing that her father got as excited as a child every time he mentioned this, Coral couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

But then again, for the exorcists who make a living by exorcising monsters, this level of achievement is indeed an exciting thing!

Knowing he had lost his composure, Yan coughed twice. "I heard that this gentleman and two priestesses are also collecting the fragments of the Four Souls Jade. I can think of no one more suitable to take care of the Four Souls Jade than him!"

"But that's not something to consider right now!"

Yan changed the subject: "I received a commission this morning from the lord of a nearby city. The monsters this time are quite difficult, and we need to mobilize a number of experts. You should go and rest up and prepare to set off in the afternoon!"

Coral nodded!

"amber!"

Yan then looked at his son Amber and said, "You're coming with us this time. You're already 11 years old, and it's time for you to try to become a real exorcist!"

Amber, who had been listening to the conversation between her father and sister with great interest, now acted a little timidly: "Oh!"

……

"That...sister..."

"Um?"

hum~

boom!boom!boom!boom!

Amber skillfully used the chain blade to slash and connect the porcelain bowl on the wooden pillar not far away. She turned to look at Coral, who was lying on the Yangguan wooden plank, teasing Mica. "Can monsters really breathe fire and poison?"

“Some of them do!”

"Really……"

Coral was stunned for a moment, then leaned over to look at Amber: "Amber, are you scared?"

"Chirp~"

Mica consciously imitated Coral and looked sideways at Amber.

"I...I'm not scared!"

Looking at her stubborn brother, Shanhu smiled and patted his shoulder. "Don't worry! The monsters we have to deal with are usually giant snakes, giant spiders, giant centipedes, and the like. Didn't Father say that truly scary monsters are those that disguise themselves as humans? Monsters like these...will be dealt with by shrine maidens, priests, and wizards!"

Amber subconsciously asked, "Like the Martial Priest?"

Coral was puzzled: "Why do you say that?"

Amber said, "Because both you and my father seem to admire him when you mention him..."

Coral was stunned and didn't say anything!

Not far away, Yan suddenly shouted, "Coral, Amber, get ready to go!"

Coral patted Amber's shoulder again: "Let's go!"

……

Afternoon dusk!

The corpse of a centipede that was at least 30 meters long was lying at the entrance of the village, and the villagers were cleaning it up in groups of three or five.

"You mean the fragments of the Four Souls Jade have been taken away by the exorcist who killed this monster, right?"

"Four Souls Jade Fragments, that's exactly what the exorcist called the fragments that fell out of the monster's corpse!"

The village chief nodded and added, "And she didn't even ask for any reward. What a kind girl!"

"And it's a girl?" Kagome, who asked earlier, asked in surprise.

Passing by here are Nishimiya Tsuyoshi and his group who left the village to collect the Four Souls Jade!

......

Chapter 336 Tacit Understanding!

It has to be said that appearance and clothing are often the first factors people use to judge strangers.

Not to mention Nishimiya Tsuyoshi, Hitomi, and Kikyo, the priests and shrine maidens were dressed in appearances that had nothing to do with bad guys. Although Kagome wore clothes that were out of tune with this era, there was nothing wrong with other aspects. Although the last Jiubao had non-human ears and tails, he looked harmless and was traveling with the priests and shrine maidens, so... Nishimiya Tsuyoshi's team, which had no problems with appearance, did not arouse the suspicion of the villagers. After telling them everything he knew, he also specially hosted a banquet for them.

After dinner, everyone gathered in a house arranged by the village.

"A family of exorcists whose profession is to exorcise monsters..."

Kagome murmured, recalling what the village chief had said before: No one knows where they live. If you want to entrust them with something, you need to send someone to light a signal smoke in an open area in the mountains. The exorcists who see the signal smoke will quickly send people down to find out what's going on!

He looked at the people holding their tea and said, "What a mysterious group of people! They must be very powerful, right?!"

Xigong Siyi took a sip of tea and said, "Within a six-kilometer radius, I haven't sensed any place with a large amount of ironware stored!"

His [Metal Manipulation] senses metal within a six-kilometer range. Exorcists' weapons are often made from the sturdy metals fused together from monsters' limbs, so there should be a lot of iron, which he can easily sense...

"Does that mean it's already over six kilometers?"

Tongzi thought for a moment and said, "It's already night, so the smoke signals won't work. If we can capture a nearby monster, maybe we can find out the location!"

Everyone nodded.

Exorcists make a living by exorcising monsters, so their relationship with nearby monsters is bound to be incompatible; and because of this, monsters who can live within the range of the exorcists' activities must understand the exorcists better than humans!

Nishimiya Tsuji thought for a moment, then suddenly looked at Kikyo: "Come to think of it... I heard that the Four Souls Jade was handed over to you from the Exorcist village nearby. Don't you know the location of the village?"

"They found me with the Four Souls Jade!"

The implication is that it is not clear...

"Well, there's no rush!"

Looking at the women who were deep in thought, Xigong Siyi comforted them, "Let's rest in this village for one night!"

"It's so pitiful that he died at such a young age!"

"Who would have thought that the city lord was possessed by a monster?"

"After burying it, leave quickly!"

Pain, cold, oppression, suffocation...

Peng~

A hand stretched out from the loose soil, and Coral then struggled to free his entire body!

"Cough, cough cough..."

After the violent cough, there was a burning and splitting pain in the lungs.

"How... could I... die... here..."

The strong desire to win made Coral squeeze out his already exhausted physical strength and crawl towards the nearest building.

"You're not dead yet? For a human being, you really have a strong vitality!"

From Coral's perspective, a figure was quietly watching Coral crawling towards the yard through the window.

"Oh, that's fine. A living person is always more useful than a dead one!"

Buzz~Hu~

Outside, strong winds and strange cries were approaching.

When Nishimiya Tsuyoshi rushed out of the house, he saw Hitomi and Kikyo who lived in the wooden house opposite also coming out with [Suzuta] and [Akabow].

About twenty or thirty black shadows like pythons and snakes quickly passed through the village.

"A group of monsters?"

"The target is not the village, are you just passing by?"

"This direction, could it be..."

After the two girls finished speaking, they looked at each other and both guessed something.

"Shikigami Reverse Hair Knot!"

Peng~

A royal coin flew down into the azure flames, and Yanti and Jieluo appeared!

Xigong Siyi ordered Jieluo, "Follow them!"

"understand!"

Jie Luo bowed, but before leaving, he took a special look at Kikyo.

As both of us are intelligent Shikigami, why can you stay outside for a long time, while I can only come out when I am useful?

However, although he was unhappy, Jie Luo did not stay for too long. He quickly followed Xigong Siyi's orders and chased in the direction of the monster group.

Jie Luo herself is a flying monster, and this ability was naturally preserved after she became a Shikigami. Moreover, as a type of monster like Fagui, she is more flexible in mountainous terrain than Enti, making her a perfect scout!

"What happened?"

Kagome hurried over carrying Jiubao.
