Chapter 033: The Yin and Yang Liao of Yoshihara City
If you can hide it from the Hyakmu ghost, you may not be able to hide it from me.
Thinking like this, Shen Luo gathered his spiritual energy on his pupils and turned on his spiritual vision.
Bite!
The man in white sitting with his eyes closed in the distance was instantly seen through by Shen Luo's eyes.
Well, there is a thin layer of psionic mist on his body, it should be this thing that hides the breath, but I don't know if it is achieved through yin and yang magic or magic weapons.
But the psionic energy beneath the mist......
It doesn't seem to be very strong.
It feels like it's a far cry from the way I've met Shimada Gonsuke in Furai Town before.
Could it be that it is because more power has been covered, and even I don't have the ability to see through it completely for the time being?
After all, this guy has hidden the Hyakmu Ghost before!
Shen narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression gradually became vigilant.
Hmph~ What kind of online articles and TV series haven't I watched?
I'm familiar with this routine.
Generally speaking, people who hide their strength are definitely not easy to mess with, because in Shuangwen or Shuang drama, there is a word exclusive to the protagonist:
Pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.
The simple meaning is that the protagonist will often pretend to be mediocre, and then be ridiculed by self-righteous passers-by, and finally the protagonist will be a blockbuster and pretend to be a slap in the face.
Then many passers-by who ate melons exclaimed:
This son is devastating, terrifying!
And the most terrible thing is that in this process, there will definitely be some villain bosses who don't know what to do and the protagonist are angry.
Of course, the final outcome of these villains is to become a stepping stone for the protagonist to pretend.
Shen Xiao secretly remembered the appearance of this young man.
If you stumble upon him while on a mission at Yoshiwara Castle, be careful.
The captain's estimate was accurate, and after a quarter of an hour, the big ship docked on time.
Shen Luo walked down from the deck, and the hundred-eyed ghost followed like his little tail, and the scene of Yoshihara Castle came into direct view.
Yoshihara is a large castle bordering the sea......
- Of course, this is nonsense.
The place where the boat docked is obviously not the most commercial area of the city, but the small food shops lined up on the street are still bustling with people.
Looking out into the center of the city, there are many large-scale high-rise lofts, many of which are still a bit Tang style.
"Wow - it turns out that there is such a prosperous place in the sunworld."
Even the hundred-eyed ghost couldn't help but sigh.
Although she has a powerful eye that pierces through space, the range of observation is still limited, and the national capital and cities near the Izumo Domain are like slums compared to this place.
As for Shen Luo's words, it just feels fresh.
After all, he was a man who lived in a modern metropolis, and this level of prosperity was far from surprising him.
He turned his head and found that the man on the boat had disappeared into the vast sea of people with his luggage on his back.
"It's gone so soon......"
Shen Luo and Hyakmu Oni walked along the snack street to the center of Yoshihara Castle, and on the way they came across a small shop selling dorayaki.
Of course, it is common to have a modern dorayaki type, but in the Heian period, this snack was just invented, and it was the only place in the street that sold it.
Shen Luo sat down at this stall.
He flipped his hand, and the spiritual energy materialized into a few copper coins and rested on the table: "Shop, come and have two copies of the dorayaki." ”
"It's coming, it's coming."
The slightly chubby shopkeeper walked over with a smile, put away the copper coins and asked, "Do you need anything else to eat besides dorayaki?" ”
Shen Luo waved his hand: "Just two copies first......
"Hey, shopkeeper, I have something to ask you."
The shopkeeper seemed to be very talkative, and he didn't bother at all: "You speak." ”
Shen slightly pretended to ask casually, "Hmm...... That's right, I usually like to write ghost novels, but this time I passed by Yoshiwara Castle and wanted to pick up some wind by the way.
"I wonder where I can get this information in the city?"
He didn't directly ask the shopkeeper if he had ever heard of Shiranui, after all, the shopkeeper was obviously just an ordinary person, and the information provided was almost informative.
"Hey, I thought you wanted to ask something, this one is too easy." The shopkeeper waved his hand disappreciatively.
Shen Luo's eyes lit up, it didn't take any effort to get here!
The shopkeeper pointed to the road leading to the center of the city: "Follow this road for a mile, then turn around and walk another half a mile, and there is the Yinyangliao of our Yoshiwara Castle." ”
Shen slightly raised his eyebrows: "Yin Yang Liao? ”
The Yin-Yang Liao is the headquarters of the Onmyoji, usually responsible for collecting demons and catching ghosts, divination, and good fortune, but it is often a national-level official organization that will only be established in the capital of a country.
For example, the former Yasunari Shimada, he was the high-level of the Yinyangliao of Iwate Province.
But how can this city have a yin and yang liao?
The fat shopkeeper nodded: "Yes, it's Yin Yang Liao."
"Although our city is not as good as Heiankyo, it is also the most prosperous place in Kyushu, so it seems that it is a symbiosis of humans and ghosts, and there must be an onmyoji in charge.
"But the attraction of Yoshiwara Castle is limited, so the onmyoji in the liao will not be permanent."
Shen Luo was interested: "Not resident? So where did they all go? ”
The shopkeeper simply pulled a chair and sat down, enthusiastically explaining: "Most of them are actually just passing by."
"Our city often publishes spirit removal quests, and the bounty is huge, and many onmyoji who pass by here will help, and they can also receive the bounty by the way.
"After a long time, it has become a flowing yin and yang liao."
Speaking of this, the shopkeeper pouted disapplausively: "What the hell, what a demon, I haven't seen it, maybe it's the play of those yin and yang people themselves, who cheated money." ”
Shen Luo and the Hundred Eyes Ghost glanced at each other.
If it's a yin-yang liao, it's indeed the place where you are most likely to get the information of Shiranui.
"That'...... If nothing else, I'm going to do the two of you're going to do the dorayaki. The shopkeeper nodded at the two of them, then turned to head into the back kitchen.
Shen Luo snapped his fingers and disappeared in place with the hundred-eyed ghost.
"Oops, forgot something!"
The shopkeeper suddenly slapped his head and turned around and asked, "What kind of gong do you want for the filling......?"
Well?
The seats were already empty.
Then the shopkeeper shook his left hand, because he felt that the copper coin Shen Luo had just given him seemed to feel wrong.
He hurriedly looked down.
The copper coins were all turned into yellow gold coins.
