Uesugi Kiyoshi opened the pages again, and the ghost drawings were gone.

The blue-black ink swirled in the air as if it had come to life, and unceremoniously rushed into his head.

He was shocked, and he only felt that some words came to his mind.

At the same time, a stream of information rampaged through his mind, leaving traces that could not be ignored.

“...”

"Chengping four years, July 11."

"Tonight, my eldest brother asked me to drink, saying that it was a newly opened restaurant next to the Suzaku Gate, which was quite popular, and it was difficult to resist the hospitality, so I had to postpone the evening class to practice swords, and go to drink two glasses with my eldest brother."

"In the middle of the night, the moon is dark and the stars are scarce, the demon wind is gusting, and there are ghosts."

"I met an acquaintance, it was Achi—that's the name I gave her, maybe because of the red armor, maybe because of the flame knife."

"She seems to be a ghost god incarnated by weapons, her demonic aura is incomparably sharp, her swordsmanship is amazing, she lives in the bamboo forest ten miles outside Rashomon, and I often go to her to learn swordsmanship."

"Ah Chi can't speak, she just looks at me quietly every time, she is majestic, but without demon power, I am inseparable from her, she is a good opponent."

"Over time, she even learned some of my swordsmanship."

"Ah Chi must have come to me, right? In the past few days, my sword skills have encountered a bottleneck, and I meditate and meditate at home in an attempt to break through, so I didn't look for her, she was in a hurry? ”

"I'm full of wine and food, if I can pass the trick, it's also a good thing, the eldest brother is drunk, unconscious, there is no one on the street, I gave enough wine, send the boss back, avoid scaring him, I want to go and say hello to Achi."

"But that bastard of Keyuan Laiguang suddenly came out to stir up the situation, he probably saw the identity of Achi's ghost god, and took his ghost guards to capture Achi."

"Yuan Laiguang is always like this, when he encounters his monsters and ghosts, there is basically only a dead end."

"Heiankyo was obviously enchanted by those onmyoji, and the evil ghosts who have killed people are absolutely impossible to enter, although Ah Chi is a ghost god, but she has no resentment and blood, she is not the kind of evil ghost who takes pleasure in slaughtering."

"She's my friend, and I don't have the habit of watching my friend get taken away."

"So, I tried the famous Genji Yingjie's head, Minamoto Yorimitsu's Jin Liang."

"I've long seen him unhappy, he looks like he claims to be righteous, he's really arrogant!"

"As a result, hum... He's just that level, if it weren't for Ah Chi's presence, I would have cut off his dog's head! ”

Uesugi Kiyoshi combed through the text, arranged it into continuous sentences, and when he thought about it, he was a little stunned to find... Is this a "diary"?

Judging from this paragraph alone, the owner of the diary is probably the "transcendent" of the Genji clan during the Heian period, and it is very likely that it is the former owner of the Hyakki picture scroll himself.

The text was not finished yet, and Uesugi Kiyoshi continued to read it.

"On July 13th, Lieutenant General Zuo set up a banquet and invited the eldest brother, and the eldest brother also took me there, just happened to meet Yuan Laiguang, ha, I punched him with a punch and smashed one eye and swelled, and now he has not recovered, today's banquet made him lose face, and he feels happy when he thinks about it! If it weren't for the swelling of my cheeks, and the inability to speak, I would have taunted him a few words! ”

"On July 19th, the eldest brother came back today and was a little worried, he was appointed as the central minister today, and he officially stepped into the official career, should he be happy?"

"Later, the eldest brother said that he heard that Yuan Laiguang released words to take revenge on me, ha... I'm afraid of him? ”

"Don't be kidding, I can't listen to the barking of my defeated generals!"

“...”

"On August 7th, that bastard played yin..."

"Today I went to talk to Ah Chi, he led people to ambush me, his men are strange, there is no murderous intent, I just feel that something is strange, Ah Chi suddenly made a move, although he did not kill anyone, but he injured several people."

"I can read her eyes, she's afraid I'll get hurt."

"Yuan Laiguang is very evil and didn't entangle, he just left with the injured person, and the look he looked at me when he left made me a little hairy - he shouldn't be a man, right?"

"On August 17th, Yuan Laiguang really played yin..."

"He went to ask the emperor for a pardon, and wanted to arrest me, saying that I was secretly connected with ghosts and gods, and for the shame of Genji, I committed the royal precepts, and I should be held accountable."

"The entourage injured by Achi is human witnesses, and I have nothing to say."

"Minamoto Yorimitsu also framed me for colluding with the ghosts and gods of the Great River, harming Kyoto and killing living beings, what a bunch of nonsense! I've grown so big that I haven't even been out of the door of Heiankyo, okay?! ”

"Damn, I'm grounded."

"On August 19, Yuan Laiguang was going to take someone to the bamboo forest to arrest Achi, and my eldest brother told me the news, and he looked at me with complicated eyes, and he didn't know if he wanted me to go."

"But I went anyway."

"I don't understand, why does Achi deserve to die?"

"Yes, those cannibal ghosts, it's not too much to die, but the ghosts and gods who have nothing to do with humans are not qualified to exist?"

"Their way of death is only because they are ghosts?"

"If it is not of my race, its heart will be different?"

"I can understand, but I don't agree."

"I injured many of Yuan Laiguang's henchmen and helped Ah Chi escape, I was hit by a sword in my left leg, and Yuan Laiguang's right arm was also opened by me, if you want to win me, he can't do it."

"But... I don't think I will have much chance to write a diary in the future, right? ”

"Yuan Laiguang just wants to use this as an excuse to deal with me, my eldest brother, and my father, all of them are members of the Genji family, and they are all descendants of the royal family, and our family is in his way."

"Otherwise, if he is really ruthless, I won't have time to save Ah Chi."

"That's fine."

"If the Tao is different and don't conspire with each other, I will fight him to the end!"

“...”

“...”

"On December 3rd, the matter about my secret connection with ghosts and gods finally came to fruition, after all, my father is a prince, and I will not be casually convicted and beheaded like ordinary people, I don't know whether to cry or laugh."

"My father was scolded for this matter, and my eldest brother's official position was also demoted, and Yuan Laiguang took the opportunity to embezzle a lot of Korean and Chinese forces, which is probably his original intention..."

"I can avoid the death penalty, but I can't escape the living crime, I have been deprived of the opportunity to enter the office, and I have also been driven out of Heiankyo, and Minamoto Yoriko is secretly operating to send me to Musashi Province..."

"Let's take one step at a time..."

“...”

"On December 21, after walking for more than ten days, I finally arrived in Musashi Province."

"It was supposed to be a few days away, but I walked for so long, it really depends on Yuan Laiguang's [care]! The samurai who came to intercept me knew it was him with their ass! ”

"He just wants me to die so much, and he's so afraid that I'll go back?"

"I can't die yet, I will definitely go back!"

"Minamoto Yorimitsu... The feud between the two of us is dead, and one day, I will cut off your head as a reward for today's deeds! ”

"Forget it, I don't want to do that."

"Musashi Country is too dilapidated here, and there are many small fishing villages, so let's find a place to settle down first..."

"Hey, when I wrote these words, Ah Chai was still barking, and I'm afraid it was hungry, but the dry food has been eaten up, and I'm still hungry!"

"It's really ironic, my popularity at home is really bad, and in the end, the only one who is willing to accompany me is Ah Chai and my sword."

"What is this? A knife and a dog at the beginning? ”

"It's so hard..."

"Oh, by the way, the eldest brother also brought me a maid, but she didn't speak all day, and her sense of existence was so weak that I forgot about her..."

"Forget it, go to bed first, settle down, and make money to fill your stomach... We'll talk about it tomorrow! ”

Uesugi Kiyoshi came back to his senses with some unfinished thoughts.

How to say it... It's exciting.

has the taste of domestic fantasy at the beginning, was exiled at the beginning, suffered injustice, cultivated his skills, and slapped his face back in the future, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the poor youth.

This should be the plot later, right?

Thinking about it this way, there is a high probability that the owner of this diary is one of the three masters of Genji.

The strength to be able to be equal to Minamoto Raimitsu was one of the few in Heiankyo at that time, right?

This is the beginning, will the next story be about the life of this legend? By the way, what about the 100 ghost picture scrolls and the ghosts and spirits of the time, and the customs and customs?

Uesugi Kiyoshi couldn't wait to turn the page.

Then, to his astonishment, he discovered...

Not down there?!

No way?!

I just got a little interested, and you gave me a break in context?!
