Chapter 302: Kyoto Fifty Years Later
Hearing Ichi's cold words that had no room for negotiation, the enchanting woman with short hair that reached her ears still had a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart, but she didn't dare to show a little uneasy and questioning expression on her face, although she was now extremely annoyed and eager to take revenge on Kagome and Inuyasha who had almost killed her, but in the face of Ichi, who was holding her life, Yura still tried to suppress her resentment.
Quietly glanced at it, although it was extremely disguised, but it still revealed a trace of unwilling Yura, Ihime didn't care, just turned around naturally, and walked in the direction of the western country, and also in the direction of Kyoto.
Seeing this overly old girl who was holding her own life and looked cold and left here in no hurry, Yura was also extremely unwilling to turn sideways and glanced in the direction of Kaede Village, and her beautiful face was dissatisfied with resentment and unwillingness, however, Yura could only grit her teeth, turn around, and quickly follow Yiji.
After a while, the figures of the two disappeared into the desolate mountains and old forests.
Unknown deep in the mountains.
Dressed in a long-sleeved kimono with a pure white background, a pure white shawl on his shoulders, and an ordinary katana tied around his waist, Sesshomaru, with long silver-white hair, walked indifferently in this quiet mountain forest, and behind him, the evil opinion holding a human head staff also trotted all the way to follow Sesshomaru's pace.
After walking for a long time on the path in the mountains and forests, there seemed to be some people who had nothing to say, and the evil opinion holding the human head staff cautiously opened his mouth and asked hesitantly.
"Well, Sesshomaru-sama, if you see that Inuyasha, how are you going to ask him where your father's grave is?"
Hearing this, Sesshomaru's expression was still indifferent, and he spoke lightly.
"Just ask."
"Ah...... Although this is not bad," Hearing this answer, which was not his expectation, the dwarf evil opinion couldn't help but sigh and spoke carefully, "However, Sesshomaru-sama, with all due respect, a guy like Inuyasha who doesn't know what to do is definitely not easy to follow......"
Hearing the words carefully spoken by the evil opinion, Sesshomaru's expression did not change in any way, but he still said without emotion.
"What do you want to say?"
"Hehe, in fact, there is a good way for the small one," Hearing Sesshomaru let him continue, the evil opinion suddenly showed a smug smile, holding the big human head cane and running a few steps quickly, very dog-legged to follow, and quietly said, "Actually, the small one has a good way......"
One day later, Kyoto.
Kyoto's Heiankyo, which was in the tenth year of Eiroku, was under the calm surface of Kyoto, which was somewhat desolate, and there were countless undercurrents hidden in the dark.
A few years ago, the thirteenth shogun of the Muromachi shogunate was expelled from Kyoto by the daimyo who actually ruled the city and its surrounding areas, and the city, where half of the world's prosperity was located, became even more dilapidated and decaying.
Although Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru reconciled with Miyoshi Chokei, the daimyo who had expelled him from the Kyoto Shogunate Empire, with the support of other daimyos, and returned to Kyoto, the struggle surrounding the shogun and other daimyo did not disappear, but only moved from the open to a deeper and more hidden shadow.
The Muromachi Shogunate, which had been in power for more than 200 years, ruled the land around the shogunate and the daimyo who were close to Kyoto and wanted to usurp the power of the shogunate.
In the middle of Kyoto, in front of a dilapidated and deserted minister's mansion.
It was spring, but in front of this desolate minister's mansion, there was a bit of a cold and biting cold wind blowing, and the streets that should have been bustling did not have a single pedestrian passing, due to the reason of years of war, the current Kyoto, many places have been deserted, turned into empty places, and the people in Kyoto are also concentrated in a few towns in Kyoto to live.
Standing in front of the desolate and dilapidated mansion of the Minister, Yi Ji calmly raised her head and looked at the dusty door, then casually walked up the stone steps and raised her hand to push open the door of the mansion.
The courtyard inside the gate is also a desolate scene, the yard is overgrown with weeds, and the stone slabs on the ground are also covered with dead leaves, and it seems that no one has lived here for decades.
Following Ikki, Yura, who had short black hair that reached her ears, looked at the dilapidated courtyard mansion suspiciously, although she wondered why she came here, but Yura was still cautious, even more cautious than when she was in Kaede Village before.
The reason is very simple, when Yura entered Kyoto with Ihime and walked around Kyoto, Yura already felt the coldness hidden in Kyoto, as well as the evil aura spreading everywhere.
Especially when passing by the Kyoto Imperial Palace, a palace of gods and goddesses, the dark and rich demonic aura hidden in the deep palace of the Imperial Palace made Yura tremble a little. Although she can't find anything specific, Yura is completely sure that in the depths of this Kyoto Imperial Palace, there must be a demon that is many, much more powerful than her, or a dark monster.
In the same way, not only in the Imperial Palace, but also everywhere in Kyoto, there is more or less evil spirit, and the resentment of the dead is pervasive everywhere, although ordinary humans can't feel these abnormalities, but in the eyes of humans with spiritual powers, or youkai like Yura, this Kyoto is not like a capital inhabited by humans, but like a place where ghosts and spirits live.
Later, after seeing that Iki had naturally stepped through the gate and entered the courtyard of this desolate mansion, Yura hurriedly followed.
However, as soon as he walked through the gate of the mansion, Yura felt that there seemed to be an almost undetectable barrier arranged on the gate, and after passing through this barrier, the mansion, which originally looked dilapidated and desolate outside the gate, had undergone a very abrupt change.
The original dilapidated and old houses have suddenly become new, and the courtyard overgrown with weeds has suddenly become extremely regular, and as for the stone slabs full of dead leaves, there has long been no dead leaves.
The warm sunlight shone on the houses, and the shadows of the houses were reflected on the stone paved ground, growing on the trees in the courtyard, which looked lush and leafy.
The cold wind outside the door and the cold evil air that permeated Kyoto also disappeared without a trace, and the inside and outside of the door were simply two different worlds.
Noticing Yura's puzzled look, Iki naturally explained in a flat voice.
"This is the residence of Teru, which is the imperial residence in Kyoto as the "Kyoto Guardian" that is usually referred to by youkai."
