Pei Ziyun came out of Abe's sunny place, it was already evening, the snow in the sky had stopped, the last ray of sunshine was gradually disappearing, and the moonlight was rising.

The road was snow-capped, white and flawless, and the traces of passers-by had been covered with snow, and the cold wind blew through, and the snow was scattered on the river that was still flowing, and it melted into it silently.

"The barrier is still there, it's just a thousand holes. ”

After 794 AD, Heiankyo became the capital, and according to the geophysiognomy of the on-yomdo divination, Heiankyo was a "sacred place corresponding to the four gods", with mountains (Funaokayama) to the north, rivers (Kamogawa) to the east, lakes (Giant Starling Pond) to the south, and Seido-dori (Sanyo-do) - with the four gods of Xuanwu, Seoryu, Suzaku, and White Tiger to pray for the protection of the gods.

In order to match the natural topography, the emperor built Enryakuji Temple (Onimon), Higashiji Temple, Nishiji Temple (Forbidden Center), and Raseimon Gate (south) in Kyoto to prevent evil spirits.

The feng shui enchantment is like this, and it is where the Japanese court is located, and it should be inaccessible, but now I dare not say that there is gray and black air everywhere, and it is also a little bit gathered but not dispersed, faintly with blood light, no wonder it is only night, the pedestrians on the road are not seen, and the people near the river have closed the door when the sun is still hanging.

The noble lord doesn't care about cheap life, and the people who live nearby don't even dare to discuss it in ordinary times in order not to lead evil things into the door, and only pass the secret in their eyes.

This is a taboo for the people living at the bottom of Heiankyo.

Demons!

Pei Ziyun turned back at this moment.

There is a thick layer of snow on the road, and under the floating snow is the old snow layer that has become hard, and if you don't pay attention to it, you may slip and fall to the ground, but at the foot of Pei Ziyun, this road can't be smoother, and you can step on the snow all the way, smooth and steady.

Coupled with the outstanding temperament, unlike the low-level samurai, some people who heard the movement and looked through the crack in the door had awe in their eyes.

"Father, is this samurai here to get rid of evil spirits...... Hmm......" In the cold wind, a child's childish voice suddenly sounded, but then it was muffled.

Pei Ziyun didn't look at it, and walked straight forward and arrived in front of a stone bridge.

Different from when passing by by ox cart during the day, at this time on this stone bridge, I found that the scenery here is still elegant, although the river under the bridge, the color is dark, in the moonlight, it is so calm that it makes people palpitate, even ordinary people can feel that something is wrong, but standing on the stone bridge, you can look far away.

There are still some trees on the side of the river, and it is winter, and you can't see the emerald green, but the dense branches are covered with light snow, and under the moonlight, a pear blossom is in full bloom, which is very beautiful.

It's just a pity that such a place has been polluted......

"Lord Samurai, are you waiting for a concubine?" Just as Pei Ziyun was thinking this, a female voice came.

Pei Ziyun turned around and saw the bridge, and the twelve single-clothed women who appeared at some point were slowly pacing over.

She has an elegant posture and a slender figure, as if she is not walking on a stone bridge road, but a lover's road paved with flowers, and between her eyebrows, there is a kind of joy in the coldness.

The jet-black hair and pale skin form a kind of beauty, and it is said that the beauty under the moon is indeed appropriate.

Pei Ziyun didn't pay much attention to her morbid beauty, but looked her in the eye and said, "Waiting for you?"

"The adults came to the place where the concubine lived at night, and stared at the concubine like this, aren't they waiting for the concubine, waiting for other women?"

The woman covered half of her face with a folding fan and smiled, this kind of seduction, in great contrast with her own conservative and cold colors, added a bit of temptation.

Pei Ziyun turned a blind eye, as if the person standing in front of him was not a beautiful woman, but a skeleton - not really seeing a red face as dry bones, but seeing a lot of outstanding girls.

can be called a beauty, none of them are inferior to this woman, not to mention, the woman in front of her is resentful.

God's desire is unstained, not that God's heart is pure, and it is not that he does not like the joy of men and women, but once he reaches the god, his quality is high, and this kind of resentment is like a woman smeared with feces on her body, how can she give birth to desire?

It may be possible that people and ghosts fall in love, because people can't see through it or smell it, and gods and ghosts fall in love, which has not been heard of since ancient times.

"You said this is your residence?" Pei Ziyun swept around, and asked knowingly: "There is only a river and a bridge here, where is your mansion?"

"That's because the concubine is covered by a bridge and a river is a bed. If you don't believe me, the concubine can show you how. ”

The woman said with a smile, her eyes staring at Pei Ziyun, and she reached out to untie her clothes, but Pei Ziyun frowned and said nothing, just a flash.

I only heard a "poof", and an identical woman behind me was sneering and pounced, trying to hit back and forth, but she pounced.

Then, in the moonlight, there was a flash of light.

"Ahh

But before the gray and black gas came out, two clusters of white flames rose up at the wounds of the two women at the same time, and with a "boom", they spread all over the body, and both of them suddenly became a burning man.

"Ahhh

I don't know if it was because she saved herself in time, or for other reasons, the speed at which the woman in front of her was burned slowed down visibly.

"Hey, it seems that the karmic consequences she was contaminated with are much lighter than those of the incarnation. Pei Ziyun, who was staring at them, thought in surprise.

The flames used in this are filled with divine power, and the ghosts with a heavy grudge will be burned very quickly, while the light ones will burn more slowly.

This woman who is still breathing is obviously different from the doppelganger.

"Perhaps, she's not just a ghost. Thinking of the legend about a ghost like Qiao Ji, Pei Ziyun had a guess.

Thinking about it, seeing the incarnation turn into a puddle of black ash in an instant, the woman's heart was like ashes, full of fear, although the flame was slow, but merciless, step by step to decompose her spiritual power and body.

She knew that although she was struggling to survive, she would not escape death.

However, she is unwilling to die like this!

Staring at the young samurai who was standing not far away and looking at her, her heart was filled with hatred, and her eyes turned red.

"I hate!" she rolled on the ground, her fingernails clinging to the cracks in the stones, as if this was the only way to make her body less painfully burned.

"Why...... Why do you ...... me like this?"

"Why, you ask?" Pei Ziyun, who had been silent, spoke, his voice even more mocking in the cold wind: "You are a ghost, disguised as a human to approach me, isn't it to devour my flesh and blood and enhance your strength?

"What's more, you've already killed a lot of people when you're entrenched here, right? The people in this vicinity were so frightened by you that they closed their doors before it got dark, and the bones under the stone bridge were probably covered with the riverbed, right?"

"Hehe, that's because you are all negative people!" The flame on the woman's body became smaller and smaller, but this was not extinguished, but her body was getting thinner and thinner, she knew that she was going to die soon, so she tried to raise her head and lock Pei Ziyun with a gaze full of resentment and hatred, as if she was not looking at a stranger who suddenly visited under the moonlight, but the man she was thinking about.

"I've been waiting for you, my lord, you said you would come to me, why...... Why gaffes...... Why ......"

"Haha! You all abandon me like grass clippings, I will kill you, kill you bad people......"

"Kill you all......"

In the midst of the excruciating anguish, it was evident that the woman had lost her mind and was incoherent in her speech.

Pei Ziyun stood and looked at her with lowered eyes, this gaze made the woman even more angry, but when she wanted to speak again, her body had turned transparent.

"I'm going to die?" With this realization, a tear slipped down the corner of her eye, and at the last moment when she finally sank into darkness, she was suddenly confused, staring at Pei Ziyun, as if she was watching a man she had not waited for in her life to come, as if many faces overlapped her, and opened the door respectfully, revealing a gentle smile: "You...... It's finally here......"

Silence fell back on the stone bridge.

Pei Ziyun didn't move, stood quietly, looking at the two piles of ashes that were burned.

Just a few minutes away from the nearest ashes, there is an invisible float and spin.

In the moonlight, a faint shadow reappeared on the black ashes.

This phantom shadow was lying on the ashes, blown by the wind, his clothes fluttered, and a black hair poured down, although the figure was translucent, reflecting the water and moonlight, but it was completely different from what it looked like just now.

It seems to be a piece of exquisite glass wrapped in layers of dirt, shedding all ugliness, and finally revealing the clear light inside.

Sure enough, even though it was the Heian period, there were many legends, not just now. Pei Ziyun stood and let this scene happen, affirming his previous guess.

Hashihime (はしひめ), the goddess of the Uji River, and the god of Rikyu Hachiman are lovers, but in the Heian period, it is a wife visiting system, and the wife cannot live with her husband, so she can only be in her mother's house, looking forward to her husband's arrival all night long.

The goddess looked at the river in the distance, in line with the times, stimulated the imagination of many singers, leaving many famous songs, but gradually, single-mindedly waiting, in every lonely night, into sorrow, and then into hatred, and constantly some of the women who committed suicide by diving, and with it, they gradually became infected with a strong ghostly atmosphere.

Although both of them can be regarded as Hashihime just now, it is clear that not all Hashihime have a godhead, and the rebirth of the cocoon is the last god recognized by this river and this bridge.

Killing her can get some divine power, but Pei Ziyun has no intention of doing so.

Pei Ziyun looked at the sky, and there was snow falling again, and he looked at Qiao Ji, who was lying on the bridge and slowly regrouped his entity, and turned to leave.

"Stop having pity and accept the resentment of those women, even though they are pitiful. ”

"God should be God. ”

Hashihime gradually woke up, and the moment she opened her eyes, all she saw was the figure of the young samurai walking away, and the words he had left behind.

"I ...... Not dead?" Confused blinked, she muttered to herself.

On the Ujigawa Bridge, the snow is getting heavier.
