Chapter 17: Thousand Years of Heiankyo
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, a beautiful girl in a black dress said categorically with a little shy, a little nostalgic, and a little relieved smile.
"I'm right to you... It's not just obsession! ”
I have been circulating in reincarnation for thousands of years, just to meet you here again.
Every day, every moment of the millennium, she had to look for a motivation that would keep her going.
Well, except for the young figure she was thinking about.
What else could it be?
Li Fuyao didn't continue to sigh, she frowned and thought about it, and then spoke.
"You... Remember? ”
"Hmm... It should be incomplete, those memories, the work of sealing the memory fragments into the picture scroll, I can probably guess what you remember. ”
"It's okay, that's not important, I'll tell you the rest at the right time."
"Be patient and wait."
Li Fuyao didn't give Uesugi Qing any time to react, and quickly said a few words, and Uesugi Qing could only agree in a row.
The memories of the past and present lives have been revived for the most part.
Today's Uesugi Kiyoshi has relaxed a lot of spirit, and there are a lot fewer doubts in his heart.
If even Li Fuyao can't be trusted.
Then it will be difficult for him to find someone in this world who can be completely trusted.
"I know, I'll go see Akutagawa first, and then I'll go to you."
Li Fuyao pursed his lips and coquettishly in a somewhat exaggerated tone that looked like a little girl was jealous.
"Are you in such a hurry? Something happened to Ryunosuke Akutagawa, and you care about him so much that you can't wait to avenge him? ”
"When did your relationship get this good?"
Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled slightly and asked rhetorically, "Do you think I met with you to discuss the attack on Akutagawa?" ”
“... It's not such a trivial matter, I don't need your help to solve this matter, I can solve it myself. ”
“...”
"I'm just, a little bit missing you."
Uesugi Kiyoshi could clearly hear Li Fuyao's breathing pause.
Then the joy in her voice was also very clear.
"Hmph... Count you to speak. ”
"Good..."
"So..."
"See you later~"
In the last sentence, the two spoke in unison.
They have said this many times between themselves.
For the first time, Yuan Qingya didn't have time to arrive in time, so that Qingxingdeng's collection of books was burned down, and she almost died.
The second time, Qingxingdeng went out to travel, and when he came back, Yuan Qingya had been frustrated again and again and fell into a trough.
For the third time, Yuan Qingya went to die alone in Heianjing, and at the moment before she died, she said her last words.
It seems that this time it was all a tragedy.
But this time.
No, it won't.
Hung up the phone, rubbing his fingers, the faint sword light shone, and Uesugi Qing seemed to have a little more mellow and mellow control of the sword qi that suddenly surged in his body.
This is his strength, and it should be like a finger.
Leaving behind the emotional fluctuations just now and the memories of his past life, Uesugi Kiyoshi began to ponder the purpose of this time.
What he can do now is to stick to the road of "becoming stronger".
And the power he has now, the greatest potential, is "qi".
In second place are "faith" and "mirage".
Those from the Hundred Ghost Picture Scrolls, the abilities of exclusive and youkai are the worst, like rootless water, and they are not worth relying on.
Uesugi Kiyoshi is now training his ability to use "qi" all the time, striving to integrate it as soon as possible, master it thoroughly, and then seek new breakthroughs.
As for the purpose of the Kyoto trip, it is very simple, to find a place for Akutagawa Ryunosuke, cut down the people or ghosts who attacked the Collectibles Association, and then slaughter the people behind the scenes, and the trip will be a complete success, and take people back to Tokyo.
Well... There is also Li Fuyao, her mother is the eldest lady of the Phoenix Courtyard family, she has stayed in Kyoto for so long, she won't encounter any trouble, right?
By the way, help her solve the trouble, and then go back to Tokyo together.
It's such a happy decision!
Uesugi Kiyoshi had a plan in his mind, what he didn't see was that in the rearview mirror, Maki Higashimi slowly opened his eyes and looked at his back with a complicated gaze.
The phone call just now, of course, was in her ears.
Nothing else, the sentence "I miss you a little" really gave her a slap in the face and made her feel mixed.
"Is it really Sister Fuyao?"
"Why..."
"Sir, I haven't met Sister Fuyao a few times?"
“...”
"Kagura is right."
"I can't wait any longer!"
In silence, everyone present had their own thoughts, only Apricot was still sleeping carefree.
And in this somewhat dreary atmosphere, the convoy gradually drove into Kyoto.
Kyoto is located in western Japan, in the southern part of Kyoto Prefecture, and is an important city in the Osaka metropolitan area, one of the three major metropolitan areas in Japan.
When you think of Japan, you can immediately think of Tokyo, Kyoto, and Nagoya.
If Tokyo is the economic and political center of Japan, like a young modern girl, then Kyoto is the cultural center of Japan, and it is a mature kimono woman who has experienced the precipitation of time.
In the history of Japan, Kyoto has been the "capital" of Japan for thousands of years, and now, although legally speaking, Japan does not have a capital, it is generally believed that the capital of Japan is Tokyo.
The thousand-year-old Heiankyo came from this.
Over the years, Kyoto City is rich in historical sites and a symbol of Japanese culture, with shrines, Buddhist temples, and well-preserved buildings scattered throughout the city.
In the same way, this is probably the area where Japan's supernatural forces are most concentrated.
The Yinyangliao, which has the longest history and is codenamed "Heiankyo", is almost entirely stationed in this city.
In order to contain each other with these onmyoji, the history is not long, but the combat power of the members is not weak, and the Shinsengumi, who originally had the base camp in Tokyo, have all moved west, and Heiankyo is far away.
In addition, some shrines and Buddhist temples also have a certain amount of extraordinary power, and many of those monks, witches, and priests are not appearances, but have real skills.
That's why Ryunosuke Akutagawa is in a very passive situation here.
Because the people he brought with him definitely didn't have the capital to run rampant in Kyoto.
Whichever side sends the main force is enough to make the president of the Collectibles Association fearful, and he can only defend passively.
The onmyoji have inherited such a Shikigami that even if they play crowd tactics, they can solve most of the troubles in this world.
Besides, in Kyoto's Satoworld, Genji, Fujiwara, Taira...
These ancient families have never died.
It's a place of extraordinary revelry, favored by ghosts and spirits.
How can a Rashomon gate be worth the accumulation of thousands of years of Heiankyo?
But...
If you add a sword that has no taboos and is in charge of a hundred ghosts.
But I can't say for sure.
