The border between Nanzhili and Jiangxi Province

The area is full of woods as far as the eye can see, with the occasional stream passing by but after a short time going deep into the ground.

Perhaps because of the sparse population, there are many birds and beasts here, and the sound of crying is endless. And under the giant trees, among the rocks squeezed out of countless bright flowers and plants, lining this fresh place, it is really like a paradise!

"Sister—"

Occasionally, people and horses passed by in the forest, and over time a trampling path was gradually formed, and only someone seemed to be coming not far away, and the voice was quiet and gentle, no worse than the transparent and pleasant birdsong.

"Now it's the season to play in Jiangnan, let's go all the way, right?"

"Chu Yuan—"

I saw two women wearing shoulder-to-shoulder robes appear in the distance from the path, just on top of the ordinary clothes, a pair of clear and bright eyes under the willow leaf long eyebrows looked at the scenery lightly, and the cherry lips under the high nose bridge were as bright and attractive as ripe cherries, such a delicate and beautiful face, like a fairy descending to earth.

"Don't cause trouble along the way, even if you can't be hungry, don't hurt people's lives."

"Sister, there are such evil ghosts like you in the world." The woman known as Chu Yuan quipped: "It's really a blessing for their mortals, just like the commander the day before yesterday, and he spared half of his life, and he is enjoying it." ”

The other woman is naturally Youji, there is no doubt that the two of them went north from Suhuai to the territory of Zhili, Chu Yuan was curious and wanted to go to the capital to play anyway, Youji had no choice but to follow her. You must know that the last time you came here was a desolate place, now it is very prosperous, the number of people who come from the south to the north and even the barbarians overseas is countless, the taste of flesh and blood is like eating fish and shrimp to present a plate of cattle and sheep, so even Youji is not able to sit still, so the two sisters discussed that it is better to settle in the land of fireworks, one is that the jurisdiction of the court is weak, and the other is to meet a lot of people who are physically strong, so they found an inconspicuous place casually, and also took a pseudonym to take the word "soft", who ever wanted to stay for three years.

It's just that for this thousand-year-old rakshasa, a few years is just a feeling of mortals counting the heavens......

I saw Youji glance at Chu Yuan and said: "Children's words, you must know that the Admiral of the Nine Gates is an important position, if he loses his life, then the imperial court will comprehensively investigate this matter, if there are some clues, the whole country will definitely gather the strength of the whole country to hurt our race." Saving his life now, this is the most fearful of officials who are ineffective, and this time they must try their best to bury the truth and shirk it. Although the recruitment of Hunters will be strengthened in the future, it will be done with caution. ”

"High ——!" Chu Yuanyu raised her thumb and praised: "If I have half of my sister's intelligence, then the emperor will also bow down at his feet." Then the two of them laughed in the woods.

It is said that after the nine-gate admiral Long Keduo recovered from his injury, he began to strengthen the garrison of the capital, and then resigned from the post of the nine-gate admiral many times, which is also recorded in the history books, but it is not mentioned here.

"Suzu—"

The two women heard a bell not far away, which did not sound like the ordinary bell of a carriage, and they were puzzled and gradually approached two figures.

"Sister, you see that person is dressed so strangely."

"Suzu—"

I saw that the visitor was wearing a high black hat, wearing a wide white linen robe, a square cloth lining folded in half in front of him, the sleeves on both sides did not pass the palms, the sleeves were short in front and long in the back straight above the knees, and the trousers were also loose and embroidered with some strange patterns. The foot wear is even more special, a foot-shaped wooden board is raised as a support, and two "hemp ropes" are used to pass through the gap between the toes and wrap around the surface of the foot to the ankle. This man was carrying a long-handled brass bell, and beside him was a petite and shy weak woman, dressed like ordinary people.

"Suzu-Suzu-"

"This ...... The object under your feet...... How do mortals walk ......? ”

Chu Yuan muttered quietly. "Sister, you say-" Chu Yuan was about to tease a few more words, but turned his head sideways and found that Youji's face was a little gloomy, so he hurriedly stopped his mouth, lowered his head slightly and raised his eyes to glance at the approaching person......

"Suzu-bell-"

"These two girls—"

This person stopped at a distance from Youji and Chu Yuanzhang, and lowered his arms to his side and bowed respectfully: "Can you come from the capital?" ”

"These two girls? Can I get there from the capital? ”

Chu Yuan burst out laughing and said, "Why are you talking so interestingly? ”

The man chuckled, bowed again, and said slowly, "In the lower earth Mimon Yokota, please advise—"

"Tsuchigomon Yokota? Please advise? Chu Yuan repeated the strange words that this person said, and couldn't help but laugh back and forth.

"Sir, but you're from the Wa Kingdom?"

Yuhime on the side asked without any waves on his face.

Tsuchigomon Yokota stood up and responded, "I'm from Japan." ”

"Oh—you're a Wako?" Chu Yuan leaned over and looked this person up and down and said, "No wonder we talk and dress differently, Jiang Kai told me about it when Jiang Kai revised the historical books. ”

"The girl is talking about the Tang historian Jiang Kai?" A gleam in Yokota's eyes swept over and asked.

"Yes, I was in Chang'an at the time......"

"Chu Yuan! Stop talking nonsense! ”

Chu Yuan was reminiscing to herself, but was stopped by Youji.

"The girls have not yet answered their questions." Toyumen Yokota bowed again and said, "But you're coming from the direction of the capital?" ”

"Are you going to the capital?" Chu Yuan pointed to the path and said, "From here, you will be there after four days and four nights." ”

"It's not convenient for the two sisters to talk to strangers, and I hope that Mr. will forgive me, so don't pass it here."

Youji put her hands lightly on her waist and bowed slightly, and then dragged Chu Yuan, who was about to ask something more, and left.

"Excuse me—forgive me—"

The earth gate Yokota still bowed very respectfully, and only got up and left after the two girls couldn't see their backs.

After walking for nearly two hours, the originally dense forest was much more sparse, and the traces of the road became deeper and deeper.

"That Japanese man is so interesting."

During the chat, Chu Yuan took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, opened the mouth of the bottle and sealed it close to the teacup in front of him, and tapped the bottle with ten fingers, and a drop of red liquid poured out and fell into the tea. Then Chu Yuan pinched the teacup lightly, closed her eyes slightly and raised her head to drink it all, and then took a deep breath, with a look of enjoyment, and it took a while to come back to her senses.

"The 'Dark Dew' prepared by my sister is a hundred times higher than that of the Difu?"

"Chu Yuan......" Youji's solemn expression still did not disperse: "Do you know the identity of Fang Cai's Japanese people?" ”

Chu Yuan shook his head puzzled.

"Have you ever heard of Onmyoji?"

Yuhime asked again.

Chu Yuan still shook his head.

"It is rumored that the Onmyoji is a person who knows witchcraft in the official palace of the Wa Kingdom, and his person observes the heavens, knows the calendar, controls ghosts and gods, and calculates hexagrams. During the Tang Dynasty, the Wa Kingdom sent Tang envoys to observe Chinese culture, including the Onmyoji, and it is said that a court case was solved at that time. Judging from the clothes of the earth gate Yokota - it should be an onmyoji. ”

After listening to Youji's explanation, Chu Yuan said lamentedly: "It's a pity that our sister arrived in Chang'an a ......little late," and then suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked: "Sister, if that onmyoji is as powerful as you say, why didn't he notice us?" ”

"This is also my question......

"Suzu-bell-"

As soon as Youhime was halfway through her words, she heard a bell behind her, and the sound was so familiar, the two of them couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly looked back.

…………

Onmyoji: It is a warlock who has mastered the way of onmyoji, and the onmyoji generally referred to is a Japanese onmyoji. This kind of person is used by the imperial court, who knows how to look at the stars, face people, measure the direction, know the disaster, draw talismans, chant spells, and perform illusions. Yin-Yang Dao originally originated in China, evolved from the five elements of Yin-Yang, and later became widely popular in Japan. But with its development, it has little to do with China. Famous historical representatives include Abe Harumi, Ashiya Michimitsu, Kanle Monk and so on. However, after the Meiji Restoration, the government called it an "obscene cult", and some of its contents survived among the people, and because of its mysterious color, it has been highly regarded by young people in recent years.
