Senya's demeanor is calm and leisurely, as if she is out for a walk, strolling through the streets of Kyoto in the company of honey insects.

The streets of Kyoto are not as bustling as Tokyo's, with no high-rise buildings, just rows of buildings that retain their traditional flavor. In the middle of it, it is like walking in history.

The Kamogawa River, which flows through the center of Kyoto, is not large and the water is not deep, but it is the river of life in Kyoto, and it has nurtured the people living on both sides of the river for thousands of years. With the passage of time, the banks of the Kamogawa River are very different from the appearance in the memory of a thousand nights, and today there are many large and small izakayas, bars, and restaurants on the banks of the Kamogawa River, which is already a lively and prosperous appearance.

The bluestone-paved stone pavement, the quaint wooden houses lining the streets, the paper lanterns hanging under the eaves, and the colorful curtains and signboards line the banks of the Kamogawa River. In early summer, some riverside shops have built platforms on the riverbed, and this is the famous river bed in Kyoto, which is also called the cool bed. In the summer, sitting on these platforms and enjoying a meal while enjoying the cool is a unique Kyoto Kawadoko cuisine.

At this time, it was already twilight, and the afterglow of the setting sun plated the entire two banks of the Kamogawa with a layer of gold, and the breeze blowing in the face, with the water vapor of the Kamogawa, sent a trace of coolness, making the god of Qianye quite indecent.

The sky is getting darker, and the streets and alleys on both sides of the river are already lit up. Qianye and Honeyworm looked at the gradually noisy streets and alleys, and seemed to feel a little hungry, so the two planned to find a small shop to fill their stomachs.

With the memories of the past, Chiya walked into a narrow alley with honeyworms, and wrote the words "Xiandou Town" at the entrance of the narrow alley.

Qianye and Honey Worm found a small shop that looked rather clean and quiet, and sat down, looking at the menu written on the wall, ready to order.

"Originally, it was a sandbar on the Kamogawa River, but at the beginning of the Edo period, it was built as a revetment and was called Shinkawara-cho-dori. Later, it developed into a bustling town lined with teahouses and ryokos, and after geisha were allowed to open, Pontocho became a famous flower town. Qianye listened playfully as the young man at the next table showed off his knowledge to his female companion, with a smile on his lips.

"Ah, there are so many historic sites in Kyoto! Japan has done a much better job of preserving these traditional cultures than it does at home! The young man and her female companion had been speaking Chinese and seemed to be tourists visiting Kyoto from China.

The young man seemed to drink a little wine, and said in a loud voice: "China is indeed not as good as Japan in this area, and during World War II, the Americans did not carry out large-scale bombing of Kyoto because they wanted to protect the ancient buildings of Kyoto. ”

"Yes, yes, the Chinese are not as good as foreigners in this regard!"

The words of the young woman's companion made Qianye frown, and she couldn't help but turn around and say in Chinese: "Then little girl, do you know that there was a great Chinese architect who worked hard to protect these ancient buildings?" ”

Qianye's sudden interjection startled the young man and his female companion, and they didn't understand why this person in traditional clothes suddenly interjected, and Qianye's burning right eye also made the two of them quite frightened.

"During the Second World War, Mr. Liang Sicheng, a famous Chinese architect, worked hard with his wife, Ms. Lin Weiyin, to protect the ancient buildings of Kyoto and Nara." Senya also sensed the faux pas of interjecting in this way, and said to the young man and his female companion in a softened tone, "The ancient buildings of Kyoto are well preserved because it existed as the capital of Japan for 1,200 years before the Meiji Restoration. The reason why the Americans did not bomb Kyoto and Nara was not for the purpose of protecting ancient buildings, but because Kyoto and Nara were not industrial cities at that time, and it was not worth the US military to waste bombs for bombing. ”

After saying this, Chiya felt rude, and after saying sorry to the two, she did not talk to the young man and his female companion again.

The honey worm sitting next to Qianye kept smiling at Qianya, and did not comment on his approach.

Early the next morning, in the courtyard of the Tsuchigomon family, the servants began to get busy, meticulously cleaning every inch of the entire mansion.

As a wealthy family that has been inherited for thousands of years, although it once lost power during the Azuchi-Momoyama period and was almost driven out of Kyoto, after Tokugawa Ieyasu took over the world, the Tsuchiomon family still flourished again. The house where the Tsuchigomon family lives today was built at that time.

As a family that has dominated Japan's Onmyodo for nearly a thousand years, although the Tuyumen family is not a wealthy family, and it is not in the membership list of the Kasumigaseki Kasumi Kaikan, it is undoubtedly a family with considerable heritage. But at this time, the head of the Tsuchigomon family and all the important people in the family gathered together, ready to welcome the arrival of a thousand nights.

"Harunobu, did the adult say when he would come?" An old man with white hair asked Harunobu Domimon.

Tsuchigomon Harunobu hurriedly replied to the old man, "Grandpa, Chiba-sama didn't say it explicitly. But yesterday, Lord Chiba did tell me that he would visit the Dogomon house today to check the seal of the feathered fox. ”

This old man, who was called his grandfather by Tsuchigomon Harunobu, was the head of the previous generation of the Tsuchigomon family, Tsuchimonto Haramori. Harumo, who had already handed over the position of head of the family to his son, had long since stopped interfering with family affairs and enjoyed his old age. But not long ago, because of the demon fox hunting for raw liver in Tokyo, the Tsuchigomon family received the accountability of Chiya, and the current head of the family, Tsuchigomon Haruhi had to invite his father out again.

"Harusuke, you go and check again, everything can't go wrong in the slightest! You go in person! Tsuchigomon Harumo said almost violently to a middle-aged man sitting next to Tugomon Harunobu.

"Yes, Father, I'll go check again." After Harusuke Dogomon bowed, he walked out.

Tsuchigomon Haroshu, who was sitting next to Harumo Dogamon, comforted his restless old father: "Father, don't worry too much, Haruke knows the etiquette and will handle these things." Tuyumen Qingxiu's words obviously did not put his father at ease, Tuyumen Qingshu shook his head, sighed and said: "Harushu, you haven't seen the power of Chiba-sama, so naturally you don't think there's anything. Back then, I watched Chiba-sama talk and laugh and exterminate all the eighty-three members of the Tuyumen family. To this day, I wake up in the middle of the night when I think about it. The elderly Tsuchigomon Harumo said, as if he remembered the night when the Tsuchigomon family was almost wiped out, and he couldn't help but tremble.

"Father! Now that it's a legal society in the 21st century, does that Chiba-sama still dare to kill people? Isn't he afraid of the law punishing him? Another son of Harumi Tsuchigomon wore a suit and stood out among the crowd of people dressed in traditional kimonos.

"Hararu!" Seeing his father's face darken, Tuyumen Harushu hurriedly shouted to his younger brother, hoping that he would not anger his father.

However, Harumo was not as angry as his eldest son thought, his face changed several times, and finally he sighed: "Harura, do you think that if the ancestor Harumi lived from the Heian period to today, the law would be able to punish him?" ”

Tuyumen Harumo's words made Tuyumen Hararum, who was engaged in lawyer work, a little stuck, and after thinking for a while, he said with some hesitation: "If it is Qingminggong, the law should be ...... Tube...... Isn't it? ”

"yes, I can't do it." Tsuchiyumon Qingshou listened to his youngest son's words, sighed and smiled self-deprecatingly: "The law can't control Qingminggong, why do you think that the law can control Chiba-sama?" ”

"How can this be the same! It was the ancestor Qingming Gong. Tuyumen Harura stiffened his neck, and said with a strong voice: "How can Chiba-sama compare with Harumi? ”

"Why can't it be compared to Qingming Gong?" Tsuchigomon Haru Mamo glanced at Tsuchigomon Harura, and said with a sneer: "In the Heian period, Lord Chiba was the great onmyoji who was equal to Harumi, and even the emperors of all dynasties had to pay three points of respect. Just the law, in front of Chiba-sama, he admitted, this is the law; He doesn't admit that it's not even as good as waste paper. ”

His father's merciless words made Tuyumen Qingliang's face blue and white for a while, and he looked very embarrassed.

"Uncle Sunny Sky, is there really no problem with the seal of the feathered fox?" Tsuchigomon Harusama turned his head to look at the old man who had been sitting on the side without saying a word.

The earth royal gate clear sky, in addition to the earth royal gate haru guard, another elder of the earth royal gate family, is also the only existing onmyoji of the earth royal gate family. Back then, Qianye exterminated the Tuyumen family and cut off the inheritance of yin and yang, because the Tuyumen family wanted to continue to guard the seal of the feather-clothed fox, so he was left with his life. It was even more strictly ordered that the Tuyu Sect could only retain one master and one apprentice, and that it was no longer allowed to teach Yin and Yang to anyone other than the only disciple.

Tsuchigomon's question made Tsuchimonto Harukami frown, and he thought for a moment and replied, "I personally checked the seal, and I really didn't find any problems. But back then, I didn't learn all the inheritance of the family, and it was only by my own exploration and the family's ancient scrolls that I entered the door of the Onmyoji over the years, so I can't guarantee if there is any omission. ”

Just when the earth royal gate Harumo and the earth royal gate clear sky were worried about the matter of the feathered fox seal, a servant walked in quickly from the outside, knelt down at the door and said, "Master of the house, there is a guest at the door who claims to be Chiba Thousand Nights to visit. ”

Harushu looked at his father, only to see that Harumo and Harumoru both stood up.

"I'll greet you personally." After saying that, Tsuchigomon Haramaru walked towards the gate, and Tsuchigomon Harukami followed him. Following in the footsteps of the two, the rest of the Tuyumen family followed behind the two.
