As he spoke, Koizumi's tone grew more serious, and he felt a heavy feeling in his heart.

Even if it was me, once I touched that thing, even if I activated the vampire state, I probably wouldn't be able to revive.

This kind of "death" cannot be "death" in the superficial sense, but the end of all things.

If life and death are compared to a line segment, then [life] is the beginning of this line segment, and [death] is the end point of this line segment. The death energy outside can directly make people jump from the center of the line segment to the end point, making your line segment end directly!

"That's right, it has nothing to do with this Youyouko, but from the similarities between the deathly aura and the Journey to the West demon, we can conclude that this incident is probably also related to that undead ghost. Let's pay more attention to it... It's just a pity that we can't find any other clues at the moment." Reimu sighed slightly, her face full of regret.

"Then darling, what about Shaki's parents?" Qingji glanced at Shaki and asked in a low voice.

Koizumi was slightly stunned, and sighed inwardly. It was obvious that Saki's parents were dead, but...

"Let's take it one step at a time. Bring Shaxi with us. However, I'll have to trouble Reimu to make a talisman to protect Shaxi from being affected by the Saiyou monster. Shaxi is just an ordinary child..."

Having said this, Tianyang called out to Reimu who was walking in front, and slowly explained under Reimu's puzzled gaze.

Then, Reimu showed a look of realization and slowly took out an amulet from her pocket.

This kind of thing is always very useful, and you never know when it might come in handy, so Reimu always carries a talisman with her.

By the way, although Reimu of this class does not display the skill [Item Creation], the ability to make amulets is something that Hakurei Miko has inherently, so in fact, no matter which Reimu it is, they can easily make high-level amulets. They may not be able to be completely immune to the Saigo Yokai, but it is still possible to take precautions.

At worst, he could just let Saki stay by his side, and Reimu could take corresponding countermeasures.

Although the Journey to the West monster made her feel helpless at one point, it did not mean that Reimu had no way to deal with it.

Otherwise, wouldn't Reimu, the shrine maiden, seem to be derelict in her duty?

"This is..." Saki looked at the very simple amulet in her hand with a puzzled look, wondering what Reimu meant by giving it to her? Of course she knew it was an amulet, after all, many people in the village had it, but why did Reimu give it to her now?

"There may be unclean things in the Moriji-ji temple we are going to later, so I give you this amulet to prevent those unclean things from coming to your door. Please keep it well, little Saki..." A gentle look appeared on Reimu's face. She has always been very gentle when treating this little girl, always giving people the feeling that she is already a mother.

However, only Marisa knew that Reimu was actually thinking of her younger self and her predecessor Hakurei, so she acted like this. Hakurei's predecessor had a really great influence on Reimu. If Hakurei were still alive, Reimu might be more diligent.

Well...it's understandable for a child to want to show off in front of his parents, right?

Hearing this, Saki nodded and continued to follow Reimu silently.

Koizumi and Marisa exchanged a glance, each revealing a helpless expression.

Slowly, several people arrived at the gate of Shengchi Temple, but... it seemed like something had happened.

I saw several monks standing outside the gate of Shengchi Temple. Judging from the spiritual power in their bodies, they should be magical monks.

Chapter 348: Conflict in front of Shengji Temple

Several monks were standing at the entrance of Moriji-ji Temple. Judging from their expressions, it was obvious that they had come with ill intentions. At least Koizumi and the others could see that they were clearly coming for the "Princess of Death". It was even possible that they were from the Saigyouji family.

But then again, isn't the Saigyouji family a family of Onmyojis? How come there are so many powerful monks?

I guess those guys went astray by following Saigyou Gesheng's teachings... They had nothing to do after eating, so they became monks. As a result, a bunch of people in the family followed them and became monks, and even so many powerful monks appeared. The Saigyouji family is really a weird one.

Gu Quan frowned slightly, and his eyes swept over the group of magical monks in front of him, and his heart sank slightly.

The other party's behavior was too obvious. After all, everyone could see what was in Shengji Temple. Apart from Youyouko, who else would be their target... But coming here at this time, could it be because of the deathly aura outside?

With just a slight guess, I could guess what had happened there. It was probably because the deathly aura outside had caused panic among the people of Kyoto. Everyone subconsciously thought that all this was related to the "Princess of Death" in Moriji Temple.

At first, apart from the deadly aura outside, the only thing Koizumi could guess was that it was related to Zi.

After all, Zi caused quite a big stir. If it weren't for the things happening in Kyoto, it would probably be Zi's fault. After all, Zi was still very rampant at that time, and the power of the monsters became very strong because of Zi.

When these magical monks are unable to do anything to the other party, they will resort to their own trump card, which is the [Princess of Death].

You have to know that Youyouko doesn’t know Yakumo Yukari yet, which means that sooner or later the two will meet.

From their perspectives, they would probably become enemies as soon as they met.

Judging from Yuyuko's personality, it is estimated that even if they became enemies, she would not kill each other. Then Yakumo Yukari unilaterally wanted to kill Yuyuko, but in the end, Yuyuko's personal charm infected Yakumo Yukari, making her unable to kill her. In the end, the two became so-called friends until the establishment of Gensokyo.

Yes, that's right. Koizumi can almost imagine the scene of their meeting.

"Master..." Reimu frowned slightly and approached Koizumi, her eyes subconsciously glancing at Kiyohime.

Marisa and I are Heroic Spirits, and Kiyohime is both a Heroic Spirit and a Youkai. These magical monks are really troublesome...

Koizumi nodded silently and gave Reimu a look. Reimu understood and silently pulled Marisa and Kiyohime back, while Koizumi slowly moved forward holding Saki. Saki was not a youkai or a heroic spirit.

As for Gu Quan, he does have the aura of a vampire or other monster, but so what? He is indeed a human being. Even if those magic monks want to hold on to this point, there are more important things to do, right?

"Please let Saigyouji Yuyuko come out, we have something important to say to her!" the leading monk said slowly.

Hunpo Yaoji snorted coldly, his right hand already grasped the hilt of the sword, a trace of murderous intent flashed across his face.

"Master Youyouzi will not come out. No matter what you ask for, Master Youyouzi will not agree to it!"

Hunpo Yaoji has no good feelings towards these magical monks from the Saigyouji family, and even wants to kill them.

If he hadn't been worried that Lady Youyouko would feel guilty or remorseful about this, he would have taken action long ago.

He hated these people from the Saigyouji family even more than the man and the shrine maiden who suddenly came here yesterday.

If it weren't for them, Lady Youyouko wouldn't have become like this.

Because she was excluded by the Saigyouji family, Yuyuko has been staying in Morimochiji Temple until now.

Because of this relationship, Yuyuko Saigyouji is even feared by the people of Kyoto. There are all kinds of rumors, as if Yuyuko is treated like a monster. This is really too much!

Not only that, the people of Saigyouji's main family treat Yuyuko like a tool.

It is a tool used to seal the Journey to the West monster, and it is also a tool used to deal with those monsters.

Perhaps in their opinion, monsters fighting monsters is the most appropriate... That's why Hunpo Yaoji hated these guys so much. Not to mention him, even Guquan felt angry after knowing the truth.

They are Youyouko's family, how can they treat each other like this?

But maybe they didn't treat each other as real family... After all, Yuyuko was born...

"Hunpo Yaoji, this matter is very important. We must get Miss Youyouzi's consent. This is a must!"

The leading monk walked towards Hunpo Yaoji with a very strong sense of oppression. At the same time, several monks behind him also slowly stepped forward, as if they wanted to give Hunpo Yaoji a sense of oppression in this way, and their faces were very serious.

Hunpo Yaoji narrowed his eyes slightly, and the Bailou sword in his hand was slightly unsheathed. A burst of sword energy immediately hit the faces of several people.

This scene shocked the magic monks and they hurried back. They could feel that the soul demon in front of them had become stronger than before, and they were definitely no match for it. The power of the sword alone was enough to make people so afraid.

Even Koizumi, who was about to step forward, showed a look of shock. This guy actually became stronger!

Although Hunpo Yaoji was defeated in the previous battle, he took another step forward in the way of the sword.

Did I use my dual-wielding skills to inspire him? This guy really...

What an incredible talent! This guy is definitely unmatched in swordsmanship. I'm afraid he has reached the legendary level.

That's the level of Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro...

But now is not the time to think about these things. If I don’t intervene, a fight will probably break out here.

Although she also disliked these guys, Youyouzi didn't want this to happen.

Moreover, this is Shengchi Temple, and it is not appropriate to see blood in front of Buddhists, even though many people have died here.

"Yaoji, what's wrong? What's going on with these guys?" Guquan suddenly appeared in the middle of the two sides, holding Shaxi in his arms. Although he always had a smile on his face, the magic monks felt a hint of coldness.

"They are just a bunch of bastards. They are relying on the fact that they are members of Lord Youyouko's clan to threaten Lord Youyouko. But they don't think about it. If it weren't for them, how could Lord Youyouko have stayed in Shengji Temple until now, and even been treated as a monster by the people in Kyoto!" At the end, Hunpo Yaoji showed a hint of anger.

Amidst the angry shouts, waves of air were generated around the Soul Demon Ji.

The sword energy centered on himself and swept out in all directions, forcing the magic monk to retreat quickly.

Seeing this scene, Koizumi couldn't help but say inwardly, "Wow, what a terrifying swordsmanship!"

Chapter 349 The Cowardly Monk

The magical monks all showed expressions of horror, as if they were worried that the soul demon would kill them if it got unhappy.

This is also normal. After all, what they asked for was too much for Saigyouji Yuyuko. Konpaku Yoki would never agree to such a thing, let alone let them meet Saigyouji Yuyuko.

Not to mention the Soul Demon King, even Koizumi didn't have much of a favorable impression towards this group of people. He didn't take action because Sashi was a child and bloodshed was not appropriate. Otherwise, Koizumi would have taken out Gungnir long ago.

Since the Soul Demon Ji will take action to intimidate the other party, there is no need for him to take action.

After all, if someone is willing to play the bad guy, why should I play the bad guy when I have nothing to do? This kind of thankless task will easily make people feel disgusted and make children like Shaki feel afraid of me.

Koizumi didn't want to be disliked by children. This was not what he wanted.

But since everyone said that we can't let the little girl Shaxi bleed, we should stop at the right time and not let Hunpo Yaoji go too far. Although these guys are really annoying, this way of looking at the situation is not a good influence either.

With this in mind, Koizumi slowly stepped forward and grasped the other man's sword-wielding hand, a serious expression on his face.

"Don't go too far. Although I'm upset with them, there are children here. It's not suitable for bloodshed."

As he said this, Koizumi glanced at Saki in his arms, a hint of helplessness appearing in his eyes.

Although it feels like I'm using this little girl as an excuse, it's also the truth.

Hunpo Yaoji was slightly startled, his eyes accidentally glanced at the child in Guquan's arms, and then nodded.

Hunpo Yaoji is also a reasonable guy, but he becomes much more impulsive when it comes to matters involving Youyouzi.

Koizumi didn't intend to say anything about this. This is quite normal, isn't it?

I would also do some impulsive things when it comes to things involving Remlia, such as -

This was exactly what happened in the last battle between me and Tarrasque. He didn't take his life seriously at all.

However, Koizumi did this to prove that he was worthy enough to fight alongside Remlia on the same platform.

Getting back to the point, Koizumi glanced at the group of mana monks and gently stroked Saki's head, his lips close to her ear.

"Close your eyes, Saki-chan, or something dirty might get into them..."

Saki was slightly startled, then obediently closed her eyes, expressing her complete trust in Koizumi.

Maybe that's how kids are. Once they trust someone, they'll be convinced of that and it's hard to change.

After all, the world of children is simple, so it is like this.

Koizumi was very pleased about this aspect of Saki. After all, some children were very naughty, but it was good that Saki was not like that. Although he didn't know what Reimu looked like when she was a child, judging from her current appearance, she probably wasn't much better.

He has no moral integrity now. I guess it’s because of the foundation he laid in the past that he has become shameless now.

The next moment, Gu Quan's icy gaze swept across the monks like a sharp blade, sending a chill through them. Then, as a blood-red aura swept across, the monks fell to the ground in an extremely awkward manner.

"I don't like to repeat what I've said before. Leave here immediately, or don't blame me if you suffer any hardship!"

Of course, the phrase "suffer" must be put in quotation marks. After all, looking at the expressions of Gu Quan and Hunpa Yaoji, neither of them seems like the type who would deliberately spare the other's life. This is also for the purpose of speaking in a more polite way, so I said "suffer".

If only Konpaku Yoki and Koizumi were present, Koizumi would definitely threaten to kill the other.

Sensing the murderous intent in the other party's words, the faces of the magic monks suddenly turned pale. Even the monk who had the courage to talk to the soul demon before was unable to utter a word at this moment. They didn't want to die!

Glancing around briefly, Koizumi realized there was no one else here except Reimu and the other two who were peeking in.

That's true. After all, this is not a place where anyone can come. The "Princess of Death" alone can scare a group of people. This leads to a very embarrassing thing, that is, it is obviously a Buddhist temple, but not many people come here.

The only ones who would come here are those bastards from the Saigyouji family...

"Gungnir!" Scarlet light pierced through space and landed in Koizumi's hands in the blink of an eye.

The energy form Gungnir was held in Koizumi's hand. Its mere presence seemed to pierce through everything, causing a sense of panic. Even the Soul Demon King couldn't help but feel apprehensive the moment he laid eyes on the spear.

He now understood that he was used by the other party to practice sword skills that day... The other party's best skill should be spearmanship.

Thinking of this, Hunpo Yaoji couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart, which meant that the opponent's strength was even stronger than before.

After all, if a weapon isn't handy, it will affect one's own strength, and that's exactly what happened to Koizumi.

But now I have also realized that even if I fight him, it is not impossible, but...

If the other party really had no ill will towards Youyouko-sama, he would be happy to see her make friends, so if possible, he still didn't want Koizumi to come with some purpose. After all, he rarely saw her smile so happily. If possible, he hoped that Youyouko-sama could be so happy all her life.

"What? Aren't you leaving yet? The gun in my hand is no joke..."

Gu Quan didn't pay attention to the abnormality of Hunpo Yaoji, but only focused his attention on the magical monk in front of him.

A gleam of brilliance flashed in Koizumi's eyes, and Gungnir in his hand instantly transformed into a beam of light that shot out, piercing through the ground in front of the monks at lightning speed. The hole made the monks swallow their saliva subconsciously.

Without saying a word, this group of magical monks slipped away quickly. If they stayed here, something bad would happen.

No matter whether the other party is human or not, his strength alone is enough to make me unable to offend him.

As for whether they would come secretly? Guquan wasn't afraid. Moreover, Guquan estimated that they would spend most of their time either staying in Shengji Temple or investigating the dead energy. If they dared to come, then let them come. If they weren't afraid of being taken away by the Westward Journey Demon or these dead energy, then they could come and give it a try!

Anyway, Gu Quan has no good feelings towards these magical monks.
