Chapter 441: Xiao Yao returns
Yesterday he received an official letter from the Cardinal of the Holy See of Japan, saying that there was a big man in the Holy See who was coming to Japan, but he did not say where it was, but Takiyama did not think that it would be within his jurisdiction.
"It's rude, Lord Commander! I'm Takiyamazawa, and I'm the head of the Tokyo metropolitan area, so I'm really sorry for neglecting the Commander-in-Chief. Takiyama immediately came to Shen Ying to apologize.
"It's okay Father Takiyama, don't be so restrained." Shen Ying waved his hand.
"Lord Commander and Miss Barbara, please be seated." Father Takiyama said.
Everyone sat down, Shen Ying was not polite, and when he came up, he told him what happened last night, and Father Inoue also pulled out the paper figure and handed it to Father Takiyama.
Shen Ying saw that Father Takiyama looked at it carefully for a long time, thinking that he had seen something, so he asked, "Did Father Takiyama see something?" ”
Takiyama shook his head and said: "I'm really sorry Lord Commander, I'm afraid the origin of this paper figure can only be identified by the people of Yinyangliao, and the charms of each Onmyoji's faction are similar, and only people who are also Onmyoji can see the difference." ”
"It seems that it is necessary to go to the Yin Yang Liao." Shen Ying said, "Does Father Takiyama know where the Yin Yang Liao is?" ”
Takiyama nodded: "There is no need for the Lord Commander to go in person for this matter, I will send someone to negotiate with the Yin and Yang Liao, and I will definitely give the Lord Commander a satisfactory explanation." ”
But Shen Ying shook his head: "No need, I still have to go in person, and I can't reveal my identity, so as not to startle the snake." ”
Father Takiyama was a little hesitant, not afraid that Shen Ying would be in any danger, and that the person who could become the leader of the crusade still had some ability, he was worried that the people in Yinyangliao did not pay attention to Shen Ying, and those guys in Yinyangliao were all people with eyes above the top, and it would be bad if he was worried about what kind of conflict would arise.
Shen Ying saw Father Takiyama's hesitation, and he didn't care if those onmyoji really hurt him, and he didn't mind meeting and talking to the guardians of the Japanese side.
In the end, Father Takiyama agreed to Shen Ying's request, but he had to be accompanied by Father Inoue to be reassured.
Shen Ying had no choice but to agree to Takiyama's request, he originally intended to go to Yinyangliao in his own name, but if Father Inoue followed, his identity might be exposed.
After the discussion, Shen Yingwan refused Father Takiyama's invitation to dinner, and left the church with Barbara and Father Inoue.
It was already noon, and the three of them casually found a ramen restaurant and ate a big bowl of ramen, and then rushed to the place where the Yinyangliao was located.
Since the Heian period, the Onmyo-ryo has been operating as an official institution, and the chief of the Onmyo-ryo is called the head of the Onmyo-ryo, and the two second-level officials are called the Onmyo-suke and the On-Yang Quansuke, and there is one each of the Great Yun and the Young Yun, and the two officiants, and below are the various Onmyoji.
The duties of the Yin-Yang Liao are similar to those of the Qin Tianjian, who are mainly in charge of the observation and judgment of divination, astronomy, time, and calendar.
In the Yin and Yang Liao, it is divided into four professional projects: Yin Yang Dao, Astronomical Dao, Calendar Dao and Leak Carving Dao, Yin and Yang Dao are mainly based on Yin and Yang masters, in addition to divination and astrological judgment of good luck and evil, but also to deal with some exorcism and demon removal things.
The Astronomical Dao is responsible for detecting the changes and occurrences of the stars in the sky, and is mainly responsible for stargazing and celestial phenomena.
Lidao is mainly in charge of criminal law, and is accused of being similar to Dali Temple, and is also in charge of rituals such as worshipping the heavens.
The omission is in charge of the customization and change of the time and date of the world, including the solar terms.
However, with the passage of time and the changes in the country's national conditions, today's Yin-Yang Liao is only left with the Yin-Yang Dao, which is a special agency under the government, mainly responsible for some supernatural cases and strange cases, but it belongs directly to the emperor.
Shen Ying and the three of them came to the Yinyangliao branch of Tokyo, which is a three-story small building, the whole is mainly white, which looks inconspicuous in the urban area with many high-rise buildings, but no one dares to underestimate this small building, because this building represents the largest supernatural power in the whole of Japan, Yinyangliao.
When Shen Ying's front feet had just stepped into the range of the Yin Yang Liao, the sky suddenly became dark, and then an invisible force swept towards the three of them.
This force swept through the three of them like a violent wind, and the huge tearing force seemed to tear the three apart.
There was a faint smile on the corner of Shen Ying's mouth, and with a slight wave of his hand, suddenly a thick black mist spread rapidly towards the surroundings, and the black gas covering the sky and the sun instantly enveloped the wind, and then tore the wind apart.
The sky became bright again, and the surroundings became warm and hot, and after the black mist and the wind dissipated together, five people in black robes suddenly appeared in front of Shen Ying and the three of them, looking at Shen Ying with serious expressions.
"They're Onmyoji?" Shen Ying is the priest Inoue next to him.
"Yes, they are the onmyoji who belong to the Yin-Yang Liao." Father Inoue said that he had taken off his priestly clothes and changed into civilian clothes, and that people here should not recognize him.
Shen Ying nodded, and then said to those onmyoji: "Don't be nervous, it's the first time I've come here, I don't know the rules, please forgive me if there's anything wrong." ”
One of the five people on the opposite side said directly, "Who are you?" Why trespass on the Yin Yang Liao? ”
Shen Ying smiled and said, "I'm not trespassing, I have something to consult with the onmyoji of Yinyangliao." ”
The five of them still stood motionless, and Shen Ying's brows suddenly furrowed.
"Aren't you going to let me in?" Shen Ying's face was also a little impatient.
"Your Excellency, please go back, this is a place of yin and yang, and not everyone can enter it." Said one of them on the other side.
"Then I don't know how to get in?" Shen Ying asked.
"Then it's up to you!" After speaking, he suddenly recited a spell, and then the ground suddenly trembled, and a three-meter-tall stone man appeared from the ground and rushed straight towards Shen Ying and the others.
Suddenly, a golden light came into everyone's sight, and then the huge stone man who pounced on Shen Ying was instantly frozen by the ice and turned into an ice sculpture.
Rumble~~!
Without any suspense, the stone man fell, shattering into countless ice ballasts.
Then a cold figure appeared, Barbara's ice-blue armor was like ice, but it was beautiful, the overall look was wild, the small shoulder armor was embedded with complex runes, the upper body armor was very slim without any edges and corners, and the lower body was a leather skirt plus a pair of tall boots that could fully show off the slender legs, all in all, Barbara's armor fully demonstrated the power of wildness.
"Vindictive!" One of the onmyoji blurted out, and the other four were also stunned.
At this time, Barbara, who was dressed in fighting armor, stood in front of Shen Ying very domineeringly, and the two daggers instantly came out of their hands and killed the Onmyoji.
"Hurry back!"
One of the Onmyoji shouted, and then all five of them jerked back, the dagger extremely fast, and all the moisture in the air where it passed condensed into ice.
"Don't hurt!"
Shen Ying said at this time.
Barbara nodded, then hooked her fingers, and the dagger that was about to stab the Onmyoji suddenly shook, and then returned to Barbara's hand in an arc.
The fighting spirit dissipated, and the surrounding icy aura was covered by the summer heat, but the five onmyoji still felt the cold and piercing, and the feeling of being on the verge of death made the foreheads of the two people full of cold sweat. ……
