Chapter 126
Ao Ling stayed in the house of the Taisha for a long time, so long that the candles that should have been bright on the side were burned out, and the sky outside also darkened.
The black-haired monster smacked his lips, feeling that his throat was so dry that he was babbling.
"Hey......" Ao Ling looked at the soul jade, "I can't hear you." β
This somewhat made Ao Ling feel a little lost.
In the past, such silence and silence did not disappoint him, because he was not a particularly lively character himselfβon the contrary, he walked around the lively places, so to speak.
But since the second time he left the world with Yoshida Matsuyo and Sakata Gintoki, Ao Ling has gradually developed a trace of urgency to communicate with others.
He felt that it was probably because after leaving Teacher Songyang and them, he always felt that he had nowhere to go back to his heart.
So he wants to confide, he wants to relate to people, to build new relationships, to get a new belonging.
Although Sesshomaru had made it clear that he could go to the West Country to calm Ao Ling's uneasiness, the cold feeling of suddenly leaving the warm and familiar harbor still left a trace of sequelae for Ao Ling.
King Macang Ye looked at the lost look on Ao Ling's face, and felt that after all these years, Ao Ling had indeed changed.
Onmyoji also knew that the character of the little monster in the past was very quiet, as long as King Macang Ye didn't take the initiative to speak, except for humming comfortably twice when he rubbed his belly in his arms, Ao Ling could stay quietly all day without saying a word.
But now...... It became a lot of chatter, and it also added a lot of uneasiness.
- Like a child who has been pushed into the adult world before he is ready.
King Ma Cang Ye knew very well why Ao Ling had such a reaction, and he had seen such a reaction in too many humans and monsters.
Because the little monster has experienced too little, after leaving the company of the division commander and friends, he walked alone on the road ahead, and was at a loss under the exposure of the scorching sun.
He didn't even know how to build a shed to avoid the scorching sun, but gritted his teeth and tried to move forward, hoping that someone who had already built a pergola on the side of the road would take him in.
But Ao Ling was lucky, because there were indeed people willing to take him in on his way.
For example, Killing Pill, such as King Macang Ye, such as Gao Longshen, if you take a step back, such as the tanuki of the Hidden God Punishment Department, he will also be very welcome to join.
Now it looks like a monster of the year.,I haven't managed to get out of the mentality of relying on others in my childhood.γ
When his mood stabilizes and he no longer feels uneasy and sad about the loss of others in his life, Ao Ling will be able to become a complete and independent monster.
Humans and youkai have a similar upbringing, except that youkai live much longer than humans, so relatively speaking, the time it takes for them to understand these things and mature is much slower than that of humans.
Especially when King Macang Ye clearly heard that Ao Ling had only passed more than twenty years from childhood to adulthood, he was even more sure that Ao Ling had not been able to wean psychologically now.
- The real big youkai, even in the face of Amaterasu, who rules Takamagahara, can calm down and maintain his demeanor.
It's like Ao Ling, who talks to people from afar in front of a piece of soul jade, and he will behave so weakly.
The Onmyoji under the Yellow Spring sighed heavily, feeling very sorry that he couldn't leave the Yellow Spring and go to Ao Ling's side now.
Now is the perfect opportunity to accompany the little monster as he grows up and completely transform him into the person he wants.
Pity......
Thinking of the silver-haired dog demon he had seen at a glimpse earlier, Onmyoji clenched his hands in his sleeves into fists, lowered his eyes and stared at a fiery red flower in front of him.
Pity...... This opportunity can only be given to the youkai named Sesshomaru.
Ao Ling sat and looked at the soul jade in front of him fixedly, feeling that everything he could say had been hollowed out and said cleanly.
Eventually, he was awakened by a very soft knock at the door of the Taisha Shrine.
Outside the door is the smell of bellflower and Kibune Daimi.
This was followed by the sound of the door of the shrine being pushed open.
Ao Ling looked at his sitting posture without a trace of manners, paused slightly, hurriedly corrected his posture, and sat up on his knees.
"Ling, Killing Pill is waiting for you." Kikyo walked in first, his eyes skimmed over Ao Ling, looked at the piece of green soul jade, and after making sure that he had not been passive at all, he breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew his gaze, "The matter of the feather fox also needs to be discussed by you here." β
Ao Ling saw the stars outside through the crack in the door, and knew that he had been in the Taisha house for a day, which was indeed a little inappropriate.
He reached out and touched the piece of soul jade, "That...... I'll leave first, King Ye. β
The last call was very light, and the Kikyo and Kibune Great Miko who were half the room away didn't hear the name clearly.
The Onmyoji under the Yellow Spring frowned, looking at the back of the monster in the picture who got up and turned away, and the expression on his face was very cold.
The onmyoji, dressed in a white hunting robe, nodded lightly in the face of the empty picture with only candle flames.
"Come back early." Onmyoji said in a low voice, just like what he said to Ao Ling when the little monster ran to the waves of the four countries five hundred years ago.
- But under the filthy Yellow Spring, his voice is unheard, and his figure is not visible.
β¦β¦
Ao Ling followed behind Kikyo and looked back at Taisha step by step.
The great witch of your ship was a little behind him, and she felt a little puzzled in her heart when she saw Ao Ling's reaction.
"Is there any oracle from the god Gao Long? The Divine Messenger is Your Excellency. She asked softly.
Ao Ling paused, came back to his senses, and shook his head.
Kikyo knew that Ao Ling was not going to communicate with Gao Longshen, so he walked forward and asked casually, "That Onmyoji, is it very important to you?" β
When Gao Longshen mentioned the King of Macang Ye to Ao Ling, Kikyo was present, and she had found out more or less about that name in the past few days.
At the same time, I also noticed that in the Heiankyo period five hundred years ago, the entire Onmyoji and officials. The bureaucracy system is not friendly to that King of Macang Ye.
This made her a little curious.
"That Onmyoji is very powerful, and he hasn't been reincarnated yet, is there any reason?" Kikyo thought of the description of the image and power of King Makura that she had pieced together from the words of various classics, and only felt that the power of this onmyoji would not be weaker than that of Abe Harumi.
INTERVIEWER If he is given the opportunity to grow up completely, maybe there will be an even more dazzling existence in the history of Shinto than Abe Haruaki.
Pity......
Kikyo glanced at Ao Ling, who was a little stunned, paused, and wondered if he had poked Ao Ling's sore spot - the classics said that King Macang Ye once had a black dog-like Shikami, who could swallow evil qi and was a sensation in Heianjing back then.
If you think about it with your toes, it is proper that Ao Ling did not run.
The relationship between the Onmyoji and the youkai-style gods he subdued is generally not much better, and most of the youkai are because they don't have the ability to fight back, but they all want to kill the lord in their hearts.
However, when Gao Longshen mentioned the King of Macang Ye to Ao Ling before, this black-haired dog demon did not reject the existence of King Macang Ye at all, but on the contrary, he was very friendly.
This may mean that Ao Ling was willing to be a god for King Macang Ye from the beginning.
Eight times out of ten, they are friends - to put it more seriously, the onmyoji named King Ma Cang Ye is most likely the one who will take Ao Ling in the first place...... Domesticated.
Kikyo thought and was silent for a while, "I'm sorry, if you don't want to say it, forget it, I'm offended." β
"Ah......" Ao Ling looked at Kikyo's side face and shook his head, "It's okay, you guessed it right, he is very good to me and very important." β
The black-haired monster said, with an embarrassed smile on his face, took out two talismans from the jade plate, and shook them in front of the bellflower with some ostentation, "Look, this is what he specially drew for me, and I still have a lot of them." β
Kikyo glanced at the runes on the rune seal, reached out to hold Ao Ling's dangling wrist, and took the rune seal in his hand.
Ao Ling didn't mind, he watched the bellflower flip over and over and study the runes on the rune, "And An...... and Qingming studied together. β
At this time, not only Kikyo, but also the great witch of your ship looked at Ao Ling in surprise.
Abe's reputation is very appealing and shocking in Shinto - of course, some people in Shinto who know the secrets of the feathered fox may have a much more subtle attitude towards Abe.
Kikyo knows a little bit, but it's not thorough, so she still has a very respectful attitude towards Abe Harumi.
Not to mention the great witch of Guifune, who knows nothing about the secrets of the feathered fox, the way she looks at Ao Ling now is no different from the way a fan girl looks at an idol.
Ao Ling felt very uncomfortable being stared at with such blazing eyes.
Luckily, the destination arrived quickly.
The destination is not a guest room, but a room that covers an area almost as much as a dojo.
There are many people in the room dressed as onmyoji, and the inner sleeves of their hunting clothes are painted with unique patterns, which means that they have their own onmyoji.
Only the silver-haired dog demon who sits on the main seat and oppresses these Shinto people with momentum unscrupulously, the style of painting is extremely inconsistent.
- Oh, now with Ao Ling, who pushed the door and entered in black, the number of monsters that don't match the painting style is one more.
To be honest, it was the first time for Ao Ling to face this kind of battle.
He glanced at the bellflower beside him.
Kikyo nodded to him and got out of the way.
Everyone could clearly perceive the extremely strong aura of the high dragon god on Ao Ling's body, and the great witch of the noble ship also looked respectful, so everyone acquiesced to the fact that this monster-like young man was a divine envoy.
Ao Ling took a deep breath and glanced at the Killing Pill on the main seat, revealing an extremely cold and indifferent expression.
The great shrine maiden of your ship withdrew, and by the way, she took the door of the dojo with her.
She didn't need to be involved.
Ao Ling took a step forward and walked with Sen Ran's momentum to the other main seat that Killing Pill had left for him.
The people of the Shinto were originally oppressed enough by the demonic aura of the killing pill, and now as soon as Ao Ling took a step, it was as if he had touched the gods, and a pure divine aura was wrapped in a terrifying bloody aura, which coldly swept the entire dojo, and the bodies of several onmyoji who were not good at cultivation shook, and they were about to fall down almost instantly.
Killing Pill, who was originally closing his eyes to recuperate, opened his cold golden beast pupils slightly, and looked at Ao Ling with a cold and hard expression, slightly stunned.
He looked at Ao Ling, and after discovering the traces that belonged to him between his eyebrows, the ice in the cold beast pupils suddenly cracked, and the gentleness sealed in it flowed out like flowing water.
Kikyo was also shocked by Ao Ling's abrupt change in temperament, and looked at the back of the black-haired monster in a bit of a daze, and after a long time, he came back to his senses and walked to the first position on their left side.
Come to think of it, a youkai that has existed since the Heiankyo period, even if it was still in its infancy two years ago, but there must have been a lot of things to see and hear.
It's not strange to have such an momentum, but after knowing that Ao Ling is a big monster who has lived for five hundred years and finally reached adulthood, Kikyo feels that his easy-going attitude before is a little strange.
Ao Ling sat on the main seat next to the killing pill, and tried his best to stir the black rope hanging around his neck to exude a little more energy.
The silver-haired dog demon on the side glanced at him lightly and snorted lightly.
Ao Ling turned his head to look at him, wanting to explain the reason why he had stayed in the Taisha for so long, but because of so many pairs of eyes staring at him all the time, he had to hold back, always with an indifferent expression that he had stolen from Sesshomaru.
The two dog demons, one black and one white, sat on the main seat, and their expressions looked the same, although their faces were much different, but if they were brothers or blood relatives, no one would have doubts.
The Shinto people sat in two rows in their subordinate seats, and many felt the deep absurdity.
- They are a group of Shinto...... Not to mention the high-level, but it's also an existence with high hopes, and now it's sitting under the two monsters.
Well, one of them is an oracle.
But it's ridiculous enough.
The Shinto people looked at each other, and they all found dissatisfaction and forbearance on each other's faces, but no one stood up against them.
In fact, they objected when they saw Sesshomaru, and those who opposed were now seriously injured and in the medical quarters.
The great monster of the Western Kingdom should not be underestimated, and when it comes to fighting here, this dog demon will not care about the lives of commoners and nobles.
Kikyo, the only one who can inflict a lot of damage on Sesshomaru, is now on Sesshomaru's side.
The Shinto people had to hold back their breath.
Kikyo took their faces into the eyes before he gave a light high-five, breaking the deathly silence of the entire dojo.
"This is Ling, the ...... of the High Dragon God Oracle. Kikyo paused slightly, then continued, "The other one is Sesshomaru, who Ling invited to come with him to kill the feather-clothed fox. β
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Shinto people became much better.
It was invited by an angel of God, and it sounded a little more justified.
Kikyo introduced Ao Ling and Sesshomaru to Ao Ling and Sesshomaru what the identities of the people who came here now.
"This is the Imperial Gate Courtyard Family, the Asakura Family, and the Flower Blossom Courtyard Family, and there are ...... over there."
"The Mimonin family." Ao Ling's sudden birth interrupted Kikyo's introduction, and his eyes turned on the girl in the Imperial Gate Courtyard family, "The smell of Qingming." β
The people present were stunned for a while, and after reacting to who Ao Ling was referring to by "Qingming", their eyes turned to the onmyoji of the Yumen Courtyard family.
The Shinto people who will participate in the encirclement and suppression of the feather-coated fox actually have a bottom on what the hell is in the belly of the feather-coated fox.
The Imperial Gate House is a family of Onmyoji who suddenly emerged from the previous generation, and has occupied a place in Beijing with a very tough attitude, and it has developed very rapidly, and it is deeply loved by those in power.
But no one thought that this family was actually connected to Abe Harumi.
The Shinto people looked at the Onmyoji of the Imperial Gate Courtyard family, and they suddenly couldn't sit still.
Ao Ling frowned and looked at the girl from the Imperial Gate Courtyard.
He knew that King Ye and Abe Qingming had a plan secretly rubbing together in private, but what it was, Ao Ling didn't go out of his way to investigate, and although King Macang Ye didn't hide it from him, he didn't take the initiative to mention it to him.
So Ao Ling is not very clear about what agreement King Asakura Ye and Abe Harumi have reached.
But nothing else is clear, Abe Harumi's smell that smells like cherry blossom cakes he will never forget.
"That's the contemporary head of the Imperial Gate Courtyard family, and the Imperial Gate Courtyard is knotted." Kikyo added, and after speaking, he also followed Ao Ling's gaze, waiting for the other party's explanation.
"The Imperial Gate House does have the blood of Abe Harumi." Gomonin admitted it generously, and his eyes were always firm and peaceful, "But since the previous generation of the head of the family, because of the relationship between the different philosophies, the Mimonin family has been separated from the Abe family, and the previous head of the family has always hoped to return to the Yin and Yang Liao, and restore the identity of guarding Kyoto and protecting the people." β
The Hua Kaiyuan family, who had been fighting against the feathered fox for several years, was 120,000 jealous of her statement, "There is no basis for empty words!" β
And when everyone was waiting for the Imperial Gate House to come to a wonderful rebuttal, the head of the family nodded very honorably, "If you don't believe it, you can't help it." β
Unexpectedly, this girl would say this, and everyone suddenly fell into an awkward silence.
After a while, the people of the Asakura family coughed lightly twice and expressed their attitude, "Even if we believe that there is no problem with the Mimonin family, as a descendant of Abe Harumi, you should avoid suspicion." β
Mimonin looked up at the Onmyoji who spoke out of the Asakura family for a while, and finally looked at the two youkai sitting on the main seat watching the show.
"Does the Divine Envoy feel the same way?" She asked.
"Me?" Ao Ling's tone was indifferent and perfunctory, "It has nothing to do with me, you are free." β
His attention had been completely drawn to the man who spoke up from the Asakura family.
Those few people from the Macang family, the aura that belonged to King Ye was much stronger than those who were in the main house of the Macang family five hundred years later.
Ao Ling felt angry when he smelled it.
- If it weren't for the fact that King Ye still needed his own bloodline to be reincarnated, he would definitely pinch these people from the Macang family directly here.
Yumen Yuan looked at the absent-minded Ao Ling, his eyes fell on the jade plate around his neck that was blocked by the beast's teeth, and a smile appeared on his face, "Okay, don't embarrass everyone, this time the Yumen Yuan family will quit." β
As she spoke, she stood up and straightened the robes on her body, and said in a light tone: "Anyway, all of you here have done so many years, except for preventing the feather-coated fox from giving birth, you haven't been able to cause any harm to her. β
"I think you all know that every time the feathered fox is reincarnated, its strength will become much stronger, I wonder how many times you can stop her here?"
"The heart of the Imperial Gate Courtyard is knotted!" The faces of the people of the Huakaiyuan family turned red, as a family of onmyoji who had been fighting with the feathered fox for hundreds of years, the words of the Yumen Yuan were no different from pointing at their noses and scolding.
The heart of the Imperial Gate Courtyard didn't care about the faces of the people in the Huakai Courtyard at all, and took the people out of the dojo by himself, and stopped before leaving, turned around and looked at Ao Ling quietly.
"Five hundred years ago, Abe Harumi once handed over his hand-copied "Divination and Strategy" to him along with the identity jade plate, a Shikigami at that time." A soft smile appeared on the face of the head of the Mimonin family, "I don't know if you recognize the ...... of Abe Harumi's family back then."
Before she could finish her words, an emerald green whip burst through the air, attacking her with a fierce killing intent and a cold coldness!
In the next moment, the head of the Imperial Gate Courtyard was torn apart by the whip shadow and fell to the ground crackling.
"Puppet." Ao Ling glanced at the onmyoji who had changed their expressions in unison, reached out and pressed the Sesshomaru who felt deeply offended, and waved his hand to the pale onmyoji of the Imperial Gate Courtyard family, "Take it away." β
After the people of the Mimonin family left, Kikyo continued to introduce the rest of the people, and then sat quietly and did not speak.
There are not many sources of information from the feathered fox, and there are surprisingly few youkai under the hands of the great youkai who have been entrenched in Kyoto for hundreds of years, but the combat effectiveness and loyalty are very high, and the onmyoji has never been able to find a chance to insert his eyeliner into it.
If it weren't for the large number of sent gods to go out to search in the carpet, once the feathered fox hibernated, they would simply not even be able to find the fur.
After the parties consolidated the information they had gathered, and finally determined the most likely places for the feathered fox to give birth this time, they began to discuss how to arrange the enchantment.
Ao Ling Sesshomaru and Kikyo didn't speak, quietly watching them discuss more and more deeply.
When the group of onmyoji finally remembered that there was also a divine envoy present, a big monster, and a strongest witch, Kikyo coughed lightly and looked at Ao Ling.
Ao Ling straightened his sitting posture because these Shinto people had turned their attention away.
"This time the battlefield will probably not be Abe's house." Ao Ling looked at the puzzled and wary eyes of those Shinto people, and reminded: "There is the jade of the four souls in the Guifune Taisha, and the feather-clothed fox will definitely not let it go." β
Although the jade is fake, there may be some strange mechanism in it that King Macang Ye secretly rubbed in.
But the feathered fox doesn't know!
