(Oh~ I'm changing it again, you read that right.) ）

"Let me tell you, I took this unlucky child on a trip, and she actually secretly ran to taste the wine of the ghost clan, and it was really unfortunate that I was drunk like this and left me alone to face a group of monsters and be distracted to take care of her! It's thanks to you that all the people in a village are dead, even the houses are burning, and I don't even know where I am staying. ”

Several warriors looked at the chattering black-clothed young man with sweaty faces, and now he didn't have such a cold and stunning momentum, a familiar posture, and a speech that couldn't stop...... Ling Yuan Laiguang and others have a sense of pit dad that swells up after the disillusionment of idols, but there is also a trace of kindness.

"Doesn't Lord Night care about her?" Yuan Laiguang finally waited until the other party finished speaking, and stretched out his finger to point to the sleeping little girl on the young man's back.

"The ghost clan has a lot of drunkenness, but it's harmless, don't worry about her, let her sleep for a while. Really, it's really unlucky for a servant to let the young master and me serve him. The young man glanced at the little girl behind him with disgust, but his hand did not relax at all, "Also, you call me the night, you're welcome." ”

"You're in a good relationship." Watanabe Tsunade smiled, looking at the cute appearance of the little girl, he had to secretly praise that she was really a beautiful embryo, and presumably this adult also felt pity for her because of this.

Speaking of which, I would like to say a word...... Ancient people were all Loli control →_→ which can be proved from the average age of marriage.

"She has helped me guard the empty house of my hometown for several years, how can I treat her badly?" Nidhogg tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Anyway, don't you have a Yin and Yang Liao in Heianjing?" How did you get here? ”

"Yin and Yang Liao? Under the great name, it is nothing more than an organization supported by the extravagant pleasures and fears of the ministers and nobles, and it cannot withstand scrutiny, cannot take on great responsibilities, and cannot even guarantee the rights of the emperor, so it is useless. Shaking his head, Minamoto Yoriko sneered at the current situation of the country, only to find that the three brothers and Lord Yakumo were staring at him stunned, "Uh, I said the wrong thing, I'm sorry." ”

"No, no, no, I'm interested." Unexpectedly, this powerful swordsman of unknown origin was very concerned about such mundane things, "But this always doesn't feel like what Lai Guangjun would say, I'm curious about whose eyes are so vicious." ”

There was nothing wrong with a samurai who served the upper class to say such things, but it was a little strange that he dared to say it.

"...... would be fine, he thought.

"It's my dear friend, Haruaki Abe." With a look of pride, Yuan Laiguang saw a look of surprise on the other party's face as he wished.

"Oh, that's amazing, the most powerful Onmyoji? Brother Lai Guang, can you introduce me? After the shock, he asked seriously, and such a rapid change of emotions made Yuan Laiguang still not very adaptable.

Looking at his two brothers, it was similar.

He hesitated in his heart, thinking of his best friend's embarrassing position now, Yuan Laiguang patted his chest and agreed: "Of course you can, don't worry, the direction we are traveling is Heianjing, and I will take you to visit him tomorrow." ”

"If it's so good, then it's hard work." Nidhogg smiled, there was a trace of elegant scribe temperament, and Yuan Laiguang felt that the other party was getting more and more difficult to understand.

……

Heiankyo, which was originally synonymous with bustling and prosperous, is now panicking.

Bad rumors quietly circulated among the city's elite class, the ministers.

- Demons in trouble.

Dozens of bizarre cases. The modus operandi, time, and place of the crime are different, but the identities of the victims are surprisingly the same - they are all the daughters of aristocratic families.

Such a vicious case is enough to make the nobles panic, and even more anxious for the people who handle the case. At the same time, it spread to the common people through the mouths of servants......

This caused panic among the aristocracy and uneasiness among the common people, and reached its peak after Ikedanaka's daughter disappeared. The most intuitive way is to send soldiers to the city to arrest all suspicious criminals, and at the same time set up checkpoints at the city gate to inspect and interrogate passers-by.

However, this kind of vigorous action not only failed to catch the prisoners, but on the contrary, many innocent people were implicated, causing panic among the people, and in addition to the fact that about a dozen merchants were tortured and killed a few days ago, the truth became more and more confusing.

Gradually, a rumor appeared among the common people and ministers in no particular order that these things were all caused by a demon entrenched around Kyoto.

But rumors are rumors after all.

I don't know what the demons are, and where they are.

But this most convincing guess needs to be proven, and it is necessary to find someone. They thought of a person at the same time.

The strongest onmyoji in the world:

- Haruaki Abe

Even if I haven't seen or come into contact with that person, I've heard about his demon-slaying deeds from others, and I believe that with his strength, I can easily discover the truth.

In a hurry, they immediately sent someone to find the onmyoji to divinate the matter.

The people who were dispatched did not dare to delay and delayed, and hurriedly came to Abe Harumi's house to explain their intentions.

"Understood, I'm going to start the divination ceremony, but because I have to concentrate on divination, it may not be fruitful until tomorrow." Abe Harumi, who heard that the other party was coming, was not surprised, and since he heard about this shocking case, he was ready to be approached.

It's just that...... He's also more curious.,The barrier that was once set up in Kyoto.,The barrier that can detect and reject youkai still exists.,But there's no response.,Is it really a monster who committed the crime? Maybe...... Means that youkai won't use? Could it be that "person"?

"The master is not in a hurry, not in a hurry." How can it not be in a hurry? The man who had been sent was hoping for a result, so that he could make a difference. But everyone said so, what can he do as a minion who runs errands and gives orders? "In that case, I'll take my leave, Master."

"Then Your Excellency, please go slowly." Seeing the man leave, Abe Harumi sighed in the direction of the left corner of the screen, "Are the monsters messing around?" ”

"Why sigh? Haruaki Abe? As the apex of humanity, what is there to be sorry about as a mere youkai? A low, undulating voice sounded from behind the screen, and if you looked closely, you could see the faint silhouette of a human figure behind the screen.

However, the anxious rumor made people feel anxious, and did not notice that no outsiders had listened to the conversation throughout the whole process.

"I'm worried about this country. Natural disasters, **, demons are in chaos, all the bad things are miraculously gathered together, the top ** is degenerate, the lower class is worse than death, the bottom is insensitive, how long can such a disguised prosperity last? The "miracle" that brought about destruction...... It sucks. As one of the very few people of insight in this country, Abe Haruaki is quite dissatisfied with the situation in the Yamato Imperial Court. But what can he do? He's just an onmyoji...... Even if he has great power, to say something unpleasant, he is only in the role of pleasing the princess and noble.

Abe Harumaki, without the determination to reform and the ambition to rebel, is powerless against this country where the emperor's power is sidelined and the minister covers the sky with one hand.

Incidentally, the country's wise men included the Emperor, but like a talented emperor on the other side of the sea, he loved literature and art, but was powerless to interfere in the affairs of the court.

"There is nothing prosperous and immortal in the world, even the former Tang Dynasty, it was destroyed by decay and turmoil. But as an onmyoji, why should you be obsessed with this? Even if you have the blood of a white fox, after all, you are also a human being. The gentle voice sounded regretful, and it was not optimistic about Abe's pursuit.

"I don't think you can see that I don't have your 'inhuman' lifespan. There is nothing in the world that is extremely prosperous and immortal', and you, who once ruled all races, are also qualified to say this. Abe Harumi smiled indifferently, this gentle yin-yang technique everyone took a sip of tea and said, "Then Yakumo-kun, how long are you going to stay behind the screen?" I don't mind, but you don't have any tea to drink. ”

"That's all your hospitality?" Nidhogg, who was dressed in a black Hanfu like this, still turned out from behind the screen, walked to Abe Harumi and sat down, gently picked up the teapot, and slowly filled himself with a cup of tea, "You heard something interesting when you came to visit, but it's okay for me to listen?" ”

"Don't say these funny words," shaking the bat fan in his hand, Abe Harumi chuckled, maybe because of the white fox bloodline and his handsome and fair appearance made people feel good, "You can hear it anyway, can you?" You guys, we humans can't compare to our senses of hearing and smell. ”

"It's innate, it's useless for you to envy, but how do you know about me?" Taking a sip, Nidhogg slowly closed his eyes, "The tea is good. ”

"Thanks for the compliment, but someone told me about you." Placing the cup on the low table, Abe Harumi looked at the young man who looked younger and more handsome than himself, "I'm really flattered to be able to witness such a great existence of yours." ”

"Oh? Who is that person? Playing with the clay teacup in his hand, the sharp divine light in the dark eyes inadvertently revealed a trace, and the only momentary contact also made Abe Harumi's eyes tingle, and then shocked.

"Just one side, suddenly broke into my mansion, a woman in white clothes, white shoes and white crowns, holding a plain paper fan in her white jade-like right hand to cover her face, and only said something to me that was inexplicable at the time," Abe Harumi's hand trembled, and the temperature in the room became very low, "Now it seems that it is just a prophecy of your arrival." But she didn't say the name Yakumoya, too, how can you not use a fake name in your situation. ”

"It's not a pseudonym, it's still there. Isn't that the posture? Putting down the cold teacup, the young man felt out of nowhere a black iron fan, the black fan was a gorgeous golden depiction of mountains and rivers, and on the back was an unfamiliar symbol, the word "Xuan" in Longwen. He shook the iron fan and unfolded it, covering half of his face, this somewhat feminine action was made by him but it looked domineering, and the smooth movement could be seen that this was actually a habit he had for a long time.

"Yes." Abe Harumi replied, his eyes focused on the fan with strange fluctuations, the black metal fan bones, and the sharp front end flashed with a cold light - this is actually a strange weapon.

"She knows I'll come to you sooner or later." Shaking his hand and closing the fan and placing it on the table, the steady low table trembled slightly. Exhaled, the temperature warmed up again, "So do you know what the recent troublemakers are?" ”

"Oni." Without hesitation, Abe Harumi slowly pronounced this phrase. Divination will only have results tomorrow Just fooling those ministers how could it be that Abe Harumi who had heard rumors of demons making trouble had not prepared early.

"Oh~, na, Qing Mingjun, what do you think?" Hold the teacup and rewarm the tea that has cooled quickly at a low temperature.

"The ghost clan has changed." also picked up the cup, keenly feeling the unprovoked warmth of the cold tea in his cup coming from the wall of the cup, Abe Harumi glanced at Nidhogg, and took a sip, "I also know a little about the ghost clan, they are not monsters who will wantonly kill people and harm people, only there may be internal problems." ”

"Same as I thought. Then I'm ready to take my leave, thank you for your tea. Without any delay, the young man put down his teacup and grabbed the iron fan and got up.

"You can also take some tea with you, or stay and so on." is not stingy, Abe doesn't mind forming a good relationship with this existence, and he probably knows the other party's intentions.

"Excuse me, although you and Minamoto Yorimitsu are the humans who have the most appetite for me at the moment, I can't get used to the human territory, especially this rotten Heiankyo." With a wave of his hand, Nidhogg shook his fan and walked out the door like a human child.

"Walk slowly." Seeing the other party disappear from view, Abe Harumi's straight body immediately collapsed, and cold sweat soaked his clothes.

"How?" Half a minute later, Minamoto Raiguang walked in from outside the door and saw Abe Harumi sitting on the ground, and raised his eyebrows, "It's the first time I've seen you so gaffe, it seems very dangerous." ”

"On the surface, he is approachable, modest and polite, but in fact he is cold and arrogant, rejecting people thousands of miles away. You can talk about it shallowly, but you can't make deep friends. His aura is too oppressive, you really brought me a 'monster'......"

PS: Although I want to set it as a cunning old fox, the book's Ampere is clear...... Okay, I still seem to have him as a fox, but smart foxes don't calculate dragons (=. =) Probably.
