Chapter 376: Yoshiwara Islands 5
Outlying islands.
Gu Hou Bird and Inugami have already left Chen Beibei and them, and Chen Beibei and Taketori Meiichiro are only staying on the coast for the time being.
After all.
In such a place, it is relatively safe because the view is relatively open.
"Master, are we going to wait here all the time?"
Yingcao looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.
At this time, Chen Beibei didn't know what to do, after all, there should be other people on the outlying islands now.
If you act rashly, there are still some risks.
As for the Liren Pavilion, it is definitely not possible to go now, because those people are very likely to be in the Liren Pavilion, and if they are ordinary people, it is fine.
But.
Those people may not be ordinary people.
After all, ordinary people should not have come to Yoshiwara Islands under the condition of road closure, and it was still when the fire fell.
"Anyway, let's wait for Gu Bird and Inu God to come back."
Chen Beibei looked at Yingcao and replied to her.
Gu Bird and Dog God are now going to the Liren Pavilion to look for those people, and the two of them should be able to find out the identities of those people.
After all.
Gu Bird and Inu God are both very powerful Shikigami.
"Hmm."
Yingcao nodded.
Now everyone had to wait here, but while waiting, Umeichiro Taketori began to tell the story of Shiranui.
……
Breeze, crescent moon.
Ah Li practiced the singing and dancing skills taught by his predecessors over and over again, raising his hand, holding a fan, and turning around, every movement has been repeated countless times.
At this time, Ah Li was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he had not yet shown his dancing posture in people's sight.
The boss of the Liren Pavilion has never let Ah Li leave the Liren Pavilion.
He didn't even let Ah Li appear in front of outsiders, Ah Li just lived in the Liren Pavilion, and the most he saw every day were his maids and seniors.
The maid is a well-behaved little girl who has served Ah Li since she was a child.
And the predecessor is a mature singer, and now the predecessor has gradually grown old, but even so, her appearance is still very beautiful.
"Ah Li, you will definitely become the first singer of Yoshiwara."
This is what the seniors said to Ah Li, and when the seniors said this, they always had some complicated emotions in their eyes.
It seems to be happy, but it also seems to be uncomfortable.
"My predecessor used to be Yoshiwara's most popular singer, right?"
Ah Li asked.
The seniors didn't answer this question every time, and Yoshiwara's most popular singer, at the age of twenty-six, suddenly disappeared.
No one knows where she went.
"Follow your beloved and go live elsewhere together."
Some people speculate so.
"Perhaps...... It's dead. ”
There are also speculations about it.
At that time, the predecessor was a geisha in a geisha house in Yoshiwara, not a singer in the Lijin Pavilion, after suddenly disappearing.
The geisha hall soon faded into the flower-filled city of Yoshihara.
"Senior, there must have been a lot of stories in you, right?"
Ah Li always has a lot of curiosity about his predecessors.
But.
Every time, the seniors will not answer Ah Li's questions, the seniors are a little serious, especially in singing and dancing skills, whenever Ah Li makes some small mistakes.
The seniors would accuse Ah Li and make her repeat that action over and over again.
This is Ah Li's life.
Ah Li likes his predecessors and his maids, but sometimes, he doesn't know what he does every day.
First gig.
It was when Ah Li was sixteen years old, and Ah Li at that time was still a little young, but the performance was a great success.
The owner of the Leaver Pavilion.
Predecessor.
Maid.
Guest.
Everyone was happy, but Ah Li felt as if he was ...... It's like I'm just an outsider......
She has been practicing her singing and dancing skills.
Practice all the time, day and night.
Is it just to please others?
……
The senior left the island by boat one night after Ah Li's performance, and since then, Ah Li has never seen the senior again.
And about the most popular singer in Yoshiwara.
No one discussed it anymore.
No one discussed whether she had gone with her beloved or had died somewhere.
Because.
People now have a new topic, that is, the singer of the Liren Pavilion, Ah Li's performance, has amazed the guests who went to the Liren Pavilion at that time.
Of course, no one knows how much Ah Li paid for this day.
No.
It should be how long the owner of the Liren Pavilion has been preparing carefully for this day, adopting Ah Li was sixteen years ago, Yoshihara's most popular singer disappeared ten years ago, and Singer Ah Li performed on stage for the first time on this day.
……
The boss adopted Ah Li.
So Ah Li has been staying in the Liren Pavilion, performing for the boss, and repaying the boss's kindness.
Of course.
For the boss, Ah Li has always been very respectful, because he is indeed very good, this is true for Ah Li, and this is also true for Ah Li's maid.
If.
There was no appearance of the Onmyoji.
Maybe......
Such days will continue until Ah Li gradually grows old, and then, like his predecessors, disappears in front of everyone.
That onmyoji's name was Yoshishin Kamo.
When Ah Li first met her, he was already used to performing in front of everyone, and Ah Li at that time had also become the first singer of Yoshiwara.
Whenever Ah Li performs.
People gather in the waters around the outlying islands, and the lights on the fishing boats are lit up, just like the scene of the legendary great yokai who does not know the fire.
The singer Ah Li also has an extra name.
That's Shiranui!
……
Yoshishin Kamo traveled to the outlying islands in search of the legendary Great Youkai, Shiranui.
When Yoshishin Kamo arrived on the outlying island, it was the night of the new moon, the day when the singer Ari took the stage, and the crowd shouted Shiranui's name.
After Ah Li's performance.
I didn't find Kamo Yoshishin, who didn't know the fire, and rowed a boat in the sea around the outlying islands, but ran into the singer Ahri.
When Ah Li was performing, he wrote a waka song.
Therefore.
Ah Li came to find He Mao's righteous heart.
……
Ah Li on the stage, although it is very amazing, has a feeling of seeing prosperity from a distance under the lights.
Although beautiful.
But there is a sense of unreality.
And when Ah Li was wearing light blue clothes on weekdays and dancing on the sea, He Mao's heart was really shocked.
Sea water, moonlight, Ah Li.
That night was a very important night for both Ali and Kamo Yoshishin, because something began to sprout from their hearts.
In the days that followed.
Lord Ota, the lord of Yoshiwara Castle, wanted to meet with Ah Li many times and sent valuable items, which is also the rule.
Ah Li would refuse every time.
According to the rules, Ah Li should refuse Ota-sama's invitation to meet twice and return the gift, or refuse three or four times...... Either way.
After all.
At that time, Ah Li was already an Oiran.
Refusing an invitation to meet someone is something that every Oiran must do, so that there is a feeling in the hearts of others that it is difficult to get.
And people tend to cherish these hard-to-get things even more.
When the boss of the Liren Pavilion realized that Ah Li's refusal was not actually a skill, but a sincere desire to refuse.
The owner of the Liren Pavilion was angry.
Lord Yoshiwara Castle, Lord Ota, was also angry.
"Reject Lord Ota, where do you place the Liren Pavilion?"
The tone in which the owner of the Liren Pavilion questioned Ah Li made Ah Li feel an uncomfortable feeling. It's not that it's hard to blame.
But.
Ah Li feels ......
The owner of the Liren Pavilion doesn't seem to care about himself.
Ah Li has always respected the owner of the Liren Pavilion very much, after all, he adopted him, and Ah Li is also doing his best to sing and dance for him.
The boss of the Liren Pavilion did not ask Ah Li why he refused Lord Ota.
Rather, it said.
Rejecting Lord Ota, where will you place the Alien Pavilion?
There is a clear difference in this, if the boss of the Liren Pavilion asks Ah Li why he refuses Lord Ota's words, then Ah Li will not be uncomfortable.
Because.
It can be seen from this that the owner of the Liren Pavilion cares about Ah Li.
But.
What the boss of the Liren Pavilion said after he got angry, all that could be seen was that the boss of the Liren Pavilion cared about the Liren Pavilion.
After that, in the time.
The days passed peacefully for a while.
It's just that I don't know when it started, Yoshiwara began to have a rumor, that is...... Singer Ah Li is a rumor that the monster does not know fire.
Soon.
This rumor swept through Yoshiwara.
It wasn't until the next crescent moon night that people headed towards the outlying islands with torches and knives and bows and arrows.
Myself.
Perhaps, nothing.
I'm a singer Ah Li, an Oiran Ah Li, and a monster who doesn't know fire.
But?
Are you really these?
No way.
……
In the end, the singer Ah Li turned into a big monster and did not know the fire.
And Yoshishin Kamo, when he was rescuing Singer Ali, was shot in one eye by Lord Ota, the lord of Yoshiwara Castle.
Then.
People never saw it again, and the singer was gone.
……
"Why do you know so much about the matter of Geji Ali?"
Chen Beibei looked at Unichiro Taketori and asked him.
Although the story of the singer Ah Li still fascinated Chen Beibei, Chen Beibei still couldn't help but be puzzled.
After all.
What Umeiichiro Taketori said is not in the legend of the great youkai Shiranui.
Umeichiro Taketori still did not answer Chen's question.
Chen Beibei didn't continue to ask.
Now Umeichiro Taketori has come to the outlying islands, and tomorrow night, it will be the time for the big youkai to come to Shiranui.
All the answers.
Because it will be shown when the big monster does not know the fire.
……
When Gu Shou Bird and Inugami returned, it was already night.
Chen Beibei and the others returned to the hot spring inn, where a charcoal fire was burning on the stove, and a pot of wine and some dishes were on it.
"How's it going?"
Chen Beibei looked at Gu Shu Bird and Dog God and asked them.
Gu Huoniao and Dog God were not injured, so there should be no battle with those people, and Chen Beibei is still very relieved about this.
"There is a Sasa gentian pattern on the clothes, probably Genji Onmyoji."
Gu Huoniao replied.
In the past, Gu Hou Bird had already met a Genji Onmyoji, and Sasaso Gentian was Genji's family crest, and many people would embroider the family crest on the banner and even on the clothes.
"Genji Onmyoji?"
Chen Beibei frowned, after all, Genji Onmyoji was already a force to be reckoned with in the Heian era.
After all.
The surname Genji already represents everything.
Now that they have met Genji Onmyoji on the outlying islands, this is still more troublesome for Chen Beibei and them.
"Do you know what they're doing here?"
Chen Beibei looked at Gu Won Bird and Dog God and continued to ask.
At this time, Chen Beibei still felt very tricky about Genji Onmyoji, after all, how powerful the power of Genji Onmyoji was was still unknown.
The former demon sword hime, Oni Kiri, and some other Shikigami belong to Genji.
"I don't know yet, but I guess it's because I don't know the fire. After all, tomorrow is the time for Shiranui to come, and Genji Onmyoji probably wants to fight Shiranui's idea. ”
Gu Xuniao looked at Chen Beibei and replied to him.
"Hmm."
Chen Beibei nodded, and then said.
Shiranui has been on Yoshiwara Island for a long time, and such a big monster must be very coveted by the Onmyoji.
After all.
If you subdue Shiranui as a Shikigami, then you should be able to make yourself a lot stronger.
……
Day 3.
After Chen Beibei and everyone woke up, they still only stayed in the hot spring inn, while Gu Won Bird and Dog God continued to follow those onmyoji.
Now Chen Beibei and they don't plan to go directly to meet Genji Onmyoji.
After all.
If you meet, there may still be some collisions.
Rather than this, it is better to wait until the fire does not know what to do, see what those Genji Onmyoji are going to do, and then improvise.
……
"Gu Won Bird, let's go."
The dog god looked at the bird and said to her.
At this time, Gu Shu Bird and Inu God were already approaching the Liren Pavilion, and those Genji Onmyoji were all in the Liren Pavilion.
"Hmm."
Gu Huoniao nodded, but did not speak.
From now on, they won't speak, and for Guhou Bird and Inu God, there is actually a very tacit understanding between them.
What to do when and when.
You just need to give a look and you'll probably be able to understand.
And now that he is close to the Liren Pavilion, the voice of speech is likely to be heard by others, even if he is walking, Gu Shou Bird and Dog God are all very light footsteps.
In the Cabinet of Departures.
A group of onmyoji, dressed in black hunting clothes, were sitting around talking about something, and their clothes were embroidered with red sasato gentian patterns.
The Genji Onmyoji, who followed Tsuru Ong before, was also among them.
However, the onmyoji's style god, the phoenix fire has left him, and now he should no longer have any powerful style god.
Gu Shou Bird and Inu God could only hide outside the Liren Pavilion.
The distance from those onmyoji is also very far, so there is no way to hear what those onmyoji are talking about...... Baidu take a look at the latest chapter of "Onmyoji's Style God Don't Cry Jiezhong Literature" for free reading for the first time.
