The point of Uesugi Kiyoshi's sword is certainly not a void.

The shape is like a white crane and a golden pheasant, the beak and claws are short, the wings are long, the feathers are colorful, the body is covered with red glow, it is a sacred bird, entrenched on the Vermilion Bird Gate.

On the Suzaku Gate, Suzaku lies horizontally.

This breath is too familiar to Uesugi Kiyoshi.

In his previous memory, he was attacked by the Onmyoji of the He Mao family with the Four Elephant Yun Spirit Plate, and was shot out by a red light through his chest, and the culprit was the divine bird.

The four spirits who guard Heiankyo, and the four spirits who guard the south... Suzaku!

For some reason, mortals can't see this Suzaku, and even Ueno Sanshi can't see Suzaku, but Maki Higashi, Kyoko Nohara, and Uesugi Kiyoshi himself can see it clearly.

Seeing Uesugi Kiyoshi draw his sword, Maki Higashimi did not hide his murderous intentions, the boat was unsheathed for three points, the slightest red light surged in his eyes, and his momentum gradually increased.

If you don't agree with each other, you will be sharpened.

The crimson divine bird and Uesugi Kiyoshi looked at each other, and they didn't know if they understood Uesugi Kiyoshi's words, but the scarlet pupils gradually glowed.

Indifferent, surprised, contemplative, abrupt, stunned, frightened.

Just like performing a mime, the dignified Four Spirit Suzaku vividly demonstrated to Uesugi Kiyoshi his mental journey and the changes in his eyes, which looked a little funny.

A clear bird's cry resounded through the sky, the divine bird spread its wings, the sky changed, and the dark clouds pressed the top.

The air in the entire Suzaku Gate seemed to be much hotter, and the temperature rose suddenly.

Uesugi Kiyoshi just smiled a little cruelly, and with luck in his body, the pale white sword light kept rolling and surging on the boy cut, as if spitting out a letter to the white snake.

Suzaku waved his wings and flew high, overlooking Uesugi Kiyoshi and his party from above, and cried a few times with some anger, and the fire on his body became more and more victorious, as if he was going to be angry in the next second.

Then, just when Uesugi Kiyoshi wanted to strike first, the divine bird Suzaku in his eyes suddenly accelerated the speed of waving his wings, and the altitude suddenly increased by dozens of meters, and he flew away as soon as he turned around, and when he reacted, he could only see a small red point of light in his eyes.

“...”

Uesugi Kiyoshi and Higashifumi Maki glanced at each other, both a little speechless.

Was the arrogance just now faked? Is this thing a mascot that is strong on the outside and dry on the outside?

It shouldn't be.

has lived for thousands of years, how can I have a little ability to press the bottom of the box.

Why did you run away?

Only Apricot remained carefree, only with a somewhat regretful sigh.

"Ahh The red birds have flown away..."

"Unfortunately, I haven't had time to take pictures yet."

"Uesugi-kun, it's been watching you, do you know it?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi sighed, quite a punch into the cotton, a little uncomfortable in his heart, just nodded.

"Hmm... Maybe it knows me..."

"Forget it, I was going to take revenge, but since I ran away, let's let it go for the time being."

"Anyway, the guardian four spirits of Heiankyo can't get out of Kyoto, right?"

"You can run a monk, but you can't run a temple! It's not too late for me to settle accounts with you! ”

muttered a few words in a low voice, and Uesugi Kiyoshi had no choice but to give up.

The clouds in the sky cleared and the sky was clear again.

However, in some places, it seems that it is not very peaceful.

The four spirits are one, the Vermilion Bird is alarmed, and the three sides are shocked.

In the east, on the roof of an inconspicuous building only seven or eight stories high, a child in plain white clothes and very simple clothes is closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.

He was lying on the edge of the rooftop, and he could fall down if he rolled over, but he didn't know it.

But, at one point, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked south.

He was just a child, with a young face and not very tall, at most eleven or twelve years old.

But at that moment just now, his expression was solemn and not like a child at all.

At the same time, a small snake-like creature slipped from his cuff, floating in the air with teeth and claws, looking south with him.

If you look closely, it's not a snake.

Camel face, eagle claws, antlers, fish scales, snake body.

He is dressed in scaly armor, with horns on his head and five claws.

This is the dragon.

"There is an order in the Quartet, I see supernatural powers, and I am as anxious as a law, the eye of the sky, open!"

The immature young man in white shook his hand, grabbed a yellow charm from his cuff, swiped his hand, and the fire flashed, and the yellow charm turned into ashes.

He pressed the ash to his forehead and let out a low sigh.

In an instant, the distant scene came to his mind.

He saw Suzaku fleeing in a hurry, and saw a young man in white holding a sword in front of Suzaku Gate, his eyes were cold.

He took a few steps back in disbelief, and then a smile of joy quietly appeared on his lips.

The immature boy laughed a few times, and glanced at the cyan pocket dragon beside him, as if talking to himself, as if announcing something.

"I knew that a person like him would never be willing to die alone."

"He'll definitely be back."

"The timing was not bad."

"The cracks in the dream mirror are in danger, the ghosts and gods are eyeing each other, the monsters and ghost kings everywhere are ready to move, and the transcendents among the human race can't hold back their ambitions."

"Hey, it's a lot messier than it was back then."

"But that's fine."

"The more chaotic it is, the better it will be for me..."

"Anyway, the ultimate goal of me and that person is the same, let's find a time to get in touch, it's best to talk, and if you can't talk, you can't provoke him."

"After accumulating thousands of years of resentment, he was a madman at the beginning, and now he may be even more taboo-free, right?"

Muttering to himself, he took the pocket green dragon back into his sleeve, and the white-clothed young man jumped open the staircase door, and his figure disappeared on the rooftop.

Meanwhile.

North of Kyoto, on Funaoka Mountain, in a shrine.

It is not a high god enshrined here, but a strange beast with some fierce gods.

The shape of a turtle and snake, with a murderous aura in his eyes.

The north belongs to Xuanwu according to the stars, and Xuanwu is the main sword soldier, so in ancient times, troops were generally sent out of the city from the north gate.

Legend has it that the four spirits Xuanwu are also in charge of the battle between swords and soldiers in the world.

Therefore, some ancient generals often came to the Xuanwu Shrine before going out to pray for the protection of the four spirits and were invincible.

Nowadays, it is deserted and not many people visit it.

However, today, in front of the statue, there was still a figure kneeling.

He was a young man who looked to be no more than thirty years old, with a handsome face and a serious expression, dressed in a somewhat old-fashioned samurai uniform, and an ancient Japanese sword with a sheath beside him.

Just as Uesugi Kiyoshi was startling Suzaku, the statue of the Xuanwu god in front of the young man suddenly trembled, causing him to stop worshipping and look thoughtfully to the south.

"Suzaku was frightened and left the town without permission?"

"Interesting... Has some great monster and ghost king invaded Kyoto? ”

"It's not a small amount of courage... Forget it, let's take a trip and check it out. ”

Just as he was leaving, Uesugi raised his eyebrows, his heart moved, and he turned to look.

A kitten from nowhere, with light and graceful steps, came to his feet, yawned, rubbed his boots a little lazily, and whimpered when he turned his head to look.

Uesugi Kiyoshi instantly matched the little kitten with the "White Tiger Spirit" left by himself at that time in his memory.

He half-crouched down, lifted the back of the kitten's neck, lifted it to his level, and stared at the golden pupils.

After a few seconds, he burst out laughing.

Standing up, he threw the little kitten with black lines on a white background and the king character brand between his eyebrows into Apricot Zi's arms.

"Ah, Apricot, don't you want to have a pet?"

"I'll leave this kitten to you."

"It's no worse than that pretty bird."
