Chapter 42: The Bounty
Amami Song is a private onmyoji who serves the Fujiwara family.,At a young age, he was discovered and adopted by the Fujiwara family because of his talent for "seeing ghosts", and then secretly sent to learn onmyojutsu, and there were about twelve people at the same time, all on a hidden island, and they were taught by an old onmyoji.

There, he spent twelve years, learning the skills of an onmyoji, such as divination, astrology, spelling, and drawing talismans.
The entry of the onmyoji requires talent, which is generally the ability to "see ghosts", that is, the ability to see ghosts that ordinary people can't do, and of course other special talents can also be used.
The Fujiwara family spent a lot of money in order to train their own onmyoji, which was comparable to a small nobleman in terms of living and eating, not to mention the cost of learning an onmyoji.
So Amami was very grateful to the Fujiwara family and vowed to serve the Fujiwara family.
"This time, the target is the fire rat fur, try not to conflict with the other party, and avoid hurting the fragile fire rat fur. As long as the family isn't too outrageous, it's okay to give more money. ”
With the power of the Fujiwara family, it is still very easy to find a half-demon who knows his name and surname, especially since his mother used to be the daughter of a city lord, so it is even more convenient.
How far can a woman who has just given birth be able to run? What if her father gave her money and even sent someone to protect her? How big are the 66 countries of Fuso themselves?
Just look for it one by one.
"As long as you have to eat, dress, and buy medicine, you always have to interact with the outside world, and a half-demon is too conspicuous. The appearance of people who are different from ordinary people and the power that does not conform to common sense, there will always be people who are afraid and afraid, so they choose to snitch! ”
Thinking of this, Tianhai summoned his subordinates.
"Kuraki Shu, go and double the bounty again, five thousand dollars! A half-demon boy with a fire rat fur and dog ears on his head is on his head, and as long as he provides reliable information, he can get half of the reward first! Wait until you find someone, and then pay the other half! ”
"Yes, sir!"
The man named Osamu Kuraki went out, doubling the notices written outside, and at the same time sending a few loud people to shout hard in crowded places.
They had recently been living in a tavern, and had come with orders from the Fujiwara family, revealing their identities unabashedly, and sure enough, the road was unimpeded, and even the local nobles would not rashly offend a powerful nobleman.
There are more than 20 people in the group, all of them are samurai, and only two people who lead the team are onmyoji, who can be regarded as rich uncles in such a remote area, and the boss can't wait for them to stay for a few more days.
Tianhai Sonata meditates in this relatively quiet room and completes today's practice.
Onmyoji enters the state of concentration by meditating and meditating, and when he is profound, he can master the ability to manipulate ghosts and gods, so as to subdue powerful ghosts and spirits into his own shikigami.
"Legend has it that Onmyoji Qingming is the son of the white fox, and he himself is the reincarnation of a high monk, and through meditation practice, he has mastered the ability to manipulate ghosts and gods, but how did he do it? Could it be that my practice is not deep enough? ”
Tian Hai Song had long been curious about the legendary new star of the Onmyoji, and tried to catch up with him, but he never got the point, and he felt more and more the vastness and vastness of the Yin-Yang Technique.
"If you have the chance, you must pay a visit and ask this legendary Excellency."
Closing his eyes, Tianhai Song quickly entered a calm state, ignoring the things of the outside world, and gradually went deeper into the realm, digging into the hidden power in people's hearts.
Outside, Kuraki rested against a table with the other samurai.
Two hired locals are promoting the contents of the notice to the people in the tavern.
"Listen up! Onmyoji-sama offers a bounty for finding someone! Give five thousand dollars! It's all Huang Chengcheng's Tang State copper coins! Bang! ”
As he spoke, he grabbed a large handful of copper coins from a covered basket and threw them into it again, making a crisp sound of the copper coins colliding.
From the outside, you can see that the inside of the basket is slowly full of copper coins, and there must be 5,000 coins!
The crowd of onlookers drooled when they looked at this huge amount of money, but when they saw a few samurai sitting in armor and carrying katanas, exuding cold air at any time, they didn't dare to move their minds.
In addition, this group of people directly revealed their identities, they were sent by the great nobles of Kyoto, and even the lords of several nearby cities came to pay their respects.
This makes no one dare to make up their minds!
However, there are always people who are bold and try to exchange fake news for money, but they are speechless when they are asked a few questions by the Onmyoji, and they are exposed on the spot, dragged outside and whipped ten times.
The guy who was whipped ten lashes had blood on his back, and he went to half his life at that time, and died the night he returned. When the news spread, there was no one who dared to cheat money anymore.
At this time, many people, not the vast majority of whom are illiterate, can only rely on this primitive and inefficient method of word of mouth, fortunately, they have basically determined that the half-demon has appeared nearby, and they will definitely be able to find out one by one in less than a month.
"Remember, we're only here to bring back the Fire Rat Fur this time, not to kill people. Outside, we represent the family style of the Fujiwara family, and we can't discredit the main family with every word or deed! ”
Another onmyoji, Kuraki Fukasaku, was reasoning with a few young samurai, and the enthusiasm of the thirteen or fourteen-year-old young people was soaring when he heard it.
"Hey! We will definitely live up to our mission! Don't put shame on your lord! ”
Kuraki Fukasaku nodded with satisfaction, he likes such a motivated and energetic young man!
"This time the matter is very important, the matter of the bet between the lord and Kaguya has been widely known, our trip is almost public, I don't know how many people are watching, no one is allowed to be treacherous and ruin the reputation of the lord at this juncture! So as a last resort, you can't rob it, no matter how good it is, the fire rat fur is just a dead thing, as long as the price is high enough, you can always buy it! But it will be difficult to recover the lost reputation! Do you understand? ”
"Hey! It's teachable! As you deserve to be a strategist, Kyoto's fox Kuraki-sama, you must have always given advice in front of the lord, right? ”
A few young people really felt that they had learned a lot, and in this era of backward education and widespread illiteracy, samurai did not necessarily know many words, let alone study.
In this era, every qualified Onmyoji must be a scholar, so it really costs a lot of resources to support an Onmyoji.
"It's a blessing to have the opportunity to listen to Kuraki-sama's teachings, this mission!"
"Yes, yes!"
The praise of several samurai made Kuraki Fukasaku very useful, although he has long been used to the days of being touted, but isn't it idle and boring to come out this time, purely as a relief from boredom.
So, he began to tell the story again, which was what he had seen and heard when he was out to solve the monsters, and when he said it, he frightened the little guys for a moment.
