Chapter 68: The Kyoto Rebellion
ββ¦β¦β
Qiao Xi was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking at?" β
Nu Liang was also silent for a while, and stopped talking for a long time before asking, "Can I ask ......?"
His face was a little tangled.
- Qiao Xi, who saw such an expression on his evil and crazy face, really wanted to laugh, but considering the current situation, Qiao Xi only coughed, raised his chin and said, "What do you ask?" β
Nu Liang stared at Qiao Xi with strange eyes, and finally asked what he wanted to ask for a long time: "Are you ...... When did you meet them? β
- He actually wanted to ask you what era you survived from the old youkai!
Qiao Xi blinked, his eyes couldn't help but be in a trance, and after a long time, he replied: "Naturally, it's from the Heiankyo period - think about how long it has been since now. β
He chuckled lowly, this smile looked inexplicably a little lost, Nu Liang was stunned for a moment, and then reacted and his eyes widened.
However, he didn't say anything more, and asked Qiao Xi about the interesting things he had with those two big monsters before.
As he listened, he felt that something was very wrong.
"I don't think the Ibaraki boy in your mouth is not the same person as the current Ibaraki boy at all!"
Nu Liang said this sentence very firmly, Qiao Xi subconsciously looked back at him, and saw him suddenly smile.
"Since you can be friends with them, then I believe that the real Ibaraki boy will definitely not look like such a madman!"
ββ¦β¦β
Suddenly I wanted to complain, but I didn't know where to vomit.
Qiao Xi stared at Nu Liang's slick but inexplicable face speechlessly, and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh for a while.
"Of course it's not Ibaraki, as I said, except for the drunken boy, Ibaraki won't succumb to any youkai."
Qiao Xi said, and a trace of contempt suddenly crossed his eyes: "As for the nine-tailed fox who claimed to give birth to Qingming...... Heh, she doesn't have that qualification yet! β
ββIt was only at this moment that Nu Liang suddenly felt the momentum on Qiao Xi's body, which was completely different from other monsters.
Qiao Xi's body is majestic and broad, giving people the feeling of the sea, no matter how big the wind and waves blow, after that, the sea is still the sea.
If it was said that Qiao Xi was very appreciative of the outburst of his friend being offended before, then the momentum that Qiao Xi showed when he mentioned the nine-tailed fox at this time made Nu Liang Slippery feel a kind of awe for the strong from the bottom of his heart.
When he found out what he felt in his heart, Nu Liang was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing out loud.
- Since he was conscious, he has relied on the unique racial talent of the slippery head ghost to mix like a fish in water among the big monsters, from the indefinite residence to the current pocket of the entire Edo, from single-handedly to now following the huge hundred ghosts at night.
He had seen a lot of youkai, and many of them were powerful, and even at one point he was on the verge of death several times because of his unyielding character, but he never really had this emotion in the eyes of another youkai.
- To be more specific, Nu Liang has never felt that he will be inferior to any youkai, even if he is not as strong as the other party now, but he knows that as long as he is given enough time to grow, he will one day surpass the other party.
However, there was only one Qiao Xi, and for a moment, Nu Liang felt that he really couldn't compare to him.
It's not the strength of the force, but the feeling that emanates from the soul.
Although it is unexpected, Nu Liang Slippery Scoop did have such a feeling for a moment inexplicably.
But instead of being frustrated, he just found it funny.
- Is this the youkai who survived the Heiankyo period?
So he laughed according to the thought in his heart, and when he had laughed enough, he turned his head to the side, and saw Qiao Xi looking at him as if he was looking at a nervous disorder.
He couldn't help but smile and said to Qiao: "You're right, but I just sealed that nine-tailed fox, and I don't know when he will make a comeback - there is an onmyoji in the Huakaiyuan family who once divined the result four hundred years later." β
Qiao Xi raised his eyebrows and said curiously: "The Onmyoji of the Flower Blossom Academy? β
A wicked smile appeared on Nu Liang's face, and he said, "Xiuyuan is a very interesting onmyoji,"
He glanced at Qiao Xi as he spoke, and said, "Although I haven't felt the demeanor of that great onmyoji Qing Ming Gong, I heard that that guy is praised among human beings as having the style of Qing Ming Gong back then. β
When he said this, it made Qiao Xi interested.
When he came to Kyoto from the shrine before, he had heard some monsters say the name of Hanakaiin Xiuyuan, but at that time he was bent on coming to Kyoto as soon as possible, so he didn't inquire carefully, and now he saw that Nuliang Slippery Scoop looked good to his senses, and he was really curious.
Nu Liang slipped through the scoop and told Zhang Qiaoxi about the process of his acquaintance with Xiuyuan.
Only then did Qiao Xi know that Nuliang was able to seal the nine-tailed fox, and it was also with the help of Xiuyuan of Huakaiyuan.
This Onmyoji, like Qingming, is not like an ordinary Onmyoji who has to destroy a monster when he sees it, and although he can't say that he treats monsters and people equally, he is also much better than ordinary Onmyoji.
The nine-tailed fox used the power of the royal family to control the whole of Kyoto in his hands, and instructed his own hundred ghosts and the human nobles under his command to find her human liver to tonic, so as to make a good Kyoto demonic.
Hanakaiin Hidemoto's attainments in divination are not low, and in this case, the glimmer of divination in Kyoto was when Nuliang Slippery was on him, so he took the initiative to ask him for cooperation.
It just so happened that one of the princesses Sakurahime that Nuliang had a crush on was captured by the nine-tailed fox - the nine-tailed fox was keen to eat the hearts of some humans with special abilities, and the more noble the human being, the more benefits it would be to eat.
And this Sakura Hime is a princess, and her healing ability is also very rare, so she was dedicated to the nine-tailed fox by the family.
Nu Liang was furious and ran to the nine-tailed fox to bring Sakurahime back.
However, the brutality of the nine-tailed fox also has her brutal capital, and although Nuliang still has room to grow, it really can't beat her for now.
Although the nine-tailed fox was finally sealed with the help of Xiuyuan, Nu Liang also gouged out her heart and was also cursed.
Qiao Xi listened to Nu Liang's slippery scoop talk about his heart gouging and being cursed, and his eyebrows couldn't help but rise.
