Chapter Ninety-One: Kyoto Guardian

The door composed of light was slowly pushed open by a thousand nights, and as the door opened, the light gradually extended, as if an invisible paintbrush outlined a quaint house in the air. When the door is completely pushed open, the house outlined by the light is also completely condensed and turned into reality.

An ancient Tang Dynasty-style courtyard appeared in front of Qianye and Honey Worm, sitting on top of the open space just now.

Looking at the courtyard with the gate open in front of him, Qianye's tone was a little emotional, and he sighed to the honey worm: "The last time I opened this door was four hundred years ago. ”

Standing behind Chiya, the honey worm said, "Time is like the Kamogawa River, it always flows. In the end, the only thing left to us who are immortal is these memories. ”

"Aren't these memories what make up our existence?" A nostalgic smile appeared on Qianye's face, and she walked into the open door, and the honeyworm tilted her head as well, laughed, and followed Qianye into this quaint courtyard.

Compared with the delicacy and smallness of the Japanese garden, the courtyard in front of you has the charm of the Tang Dynasty with atmosphere, freedom and openness.

The architectural color in the courtyard is simple and bright, the roof is stretched and flat, and the doors and windows are unpretentious, giving people a solemn and generous impression. The wide garden is completely different from the small and delicate Japanese garden, and the symmetrical layout of the central axis highlights the squareness and neatness.

Thousand Nights and the Honey Worm strolled forward to a stone pillar placed in the courtyard.

This stone pillar stands in the middle of the courtyard, and under the eight-sided stone pillar is an octagonal stone base, and the base is paved with bluestone to form a hexagram of eight trigrams.

At the top of the stone pillar, there is an armillary sphere cast in fine copper. Different from the general armillary sphere, the bronze bottom pillar is inlaid at the top of the stone pillar, and there is a bronze dragon holding the entire armillary sphere in each of the four directions of Qian, Kun, Kan and Li.

Thousand Nights stood still, and the honeyworm retreated behind him.

"Dry is the sky, Kun is the earth, earthquake is thunder, Xun is the wind, Kan is water, separation is fire, Gen is the mountain, and Dui is Ze. Heaven and earth are positioned, the mountains are ventilated, the thunder and wind are thin, and the water and fire do not shoot each other. The gossip is wrong, the number of the past is smooth, and the person who knows the future is reversed, so it is easy to reverse the number. Qianye pointed into a sword, pinched the sword in his hand, stepped on his feet, ran around the stone pillar non-stop, and said words in his mouth.

With the movements and recitations of Qianye, the armillary sphere at the top of the stone pillar also began to rotate, and with the rotation of the armillary sphere, clouds and mist began to rise in the originally clear sky, and the water of the Kamogawa River outside the gate also began to surge.

"The thunder is moving, the wind is dispersed, the rain is **, the sun is Xuan, the Gen is stopped, the joy is met, the dry is the king, and the kun is hidden. The emperor was shocked, Qi was Xun, seeing each other was leaving, serving Qi Kun, saying what he said, fighting like dry, working hard, and becoming a word...... "The chanting in the mouth of Qianye did not stop, the armillary sphere also rotated faster and faster, and the clouds and mist in the sky began to churn, like a giant dragon shuttling between the sea of clouds, setting off waves of waves. At this time, the water of the Kamogawa River has begun to make waves, and the water potential that has not been seen for thousands of years makes pedestrians and tourists on both sides of the river look at the Kamogawa River in surprise and look at the Kamogawa River that seems to be beginning to roar in front of them, and they are a little overwhelmed.

All this did not affect Qianye, his movements were getting faster and faster, and his figure had become two, as if there were two people running at the same time. If you listen carefully, you will find that the voices of the chanting have also become two. One of the voices chanted the mantra: "The first day of the Big Dipper is the pivot star, and the soul of the sun star is also; The next day, Xuanxing, the soul of the star; On the third day, the star of the real person is also the spirit of the star; The fourth heavenly power star is the spirit of the Xuan Pluto star; The fifth Jade Heng Star is the spirit of the Dan Yuan Star; The sixth Yang Star is the spirit of the North Star; The seventh shaking star, the soul of the Tianguan star, is also the Ming Dynasty. ”

"You praise the gods and give birth to yarrow, towering to the heavens and the two places and rely on the number, the view of change in the yin and yang and the hexagram, play in the rigidity and softness and give birth to the yao, and obey the morality and reason in the righteousness, exhaust the reason, so that the life." The other voice recited differently, but strangely enough, although the two voices were not reciting the same mantra, there was a subtle rhythm that made the two distinct mantras seem so harmonious, as if they were one.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and the entire sky over Kyoto was covered with thick dark clouds, and the Kamogawa River had become turbulent, and the white waves crashed against the embankments on both banks.

However, at this time, Qianye's actions had reached a critical moment, and there was no time to be distracted.

Starlight began to condense on the rotating armillary sphere, illuminating the courtyard when the sky was dark. At this time, Qianye had stopped walking and returned to his position to stand still, reciting two incantations at the same time.

"The qi is to return to the yuanzheng, and the heart is from holding a spirit. Concentrate on the elephant and fly into the green underworld. The whole service is multiplied by three elements, and the spinning gang is nine stars. After the opening of the Qiong chapter, the head of the book is the true scripture. ”

"The thunder is moving, the wind is dispersed, the rain is **, the sun is bright, the Gen is stopped, the exchange is said, the dry is the king, and the kun is hidden."

Eventually, two voices chanted at the same time: "Seven Stars Homecoming!" Return to the Yuan in all directions! Wear heaven and earth! Gossip seals the sky! ”

With the end of the spell, the starlight condensed on the armillary sphere turned into a pillar of light and shot straight into the sky, and in Kyoto Castle, there was also a pillar of light that shot straight into the sky at another position corresponding to the position of Senya at this time.

Under the reflection of the two pillars of light, a huge Taiji diagram slowly opened, looking down from the sky, the two pillars of light were exactly in the position of the two fish eyes of the Taiji Pisces, supporting the entire Taiji diagram. The sky in Kyoto has completely darkened, and it looks like night has fallen. The dense dark clouds kept rolling, and among the clouds, thunder and lightning flashed from time to time, and thunder roared. Accompanied by the sound of thunder, the wind began to howl and swept through ancient Kyoto.

In the northern sky, the clouds have dispersed at the position of the Big Dipper, and the Big Dipper shines brightly together with the North Star, illuminating the whole of Kyoto under the dark clouds.

The water of the Kamogawa River has reached its peak at this time, and standing next to the embankment, you can feel the splashing water on your face, and the originally calm river surface is now full of white waves, constantly rolling, like a jade dragon is waking up.

At this time, Qianye had already taken off the hunting clothes he was wearing and replaced them with a dark armor.

The dark armor is decorated with golden cloud and thunder patterns, and the heart guard on the chest is painted with gluttonous patterns with fine copper. The upper body of the armor is made of mountain striped armor pieces, and the lower body is a skirt made of fish scales. The lion-headed belt around his waist and the tiger-swallowing belt on his shoulder armor make Qianye even more heroic.

Hang the blood-draining horizontal knife on his waist, and Qianye has been neatly draped.

"Mr. Xuanyi, you really look better when you wear armor, like a general on a journey." The honey worm handed the helmet decorated with dragon patterns in his hand to Qianye, and said with a smile: "That little girl is here to wish Mr. Xuanyi a prosperous martial arts!" ”

Chiya, who took the helmet, smiled, put it on, and put down the black ghost face covering. The voice was a little humming, and said, "Then take your good words, wait for me to triumph here, honey worm." With that, he flew up from the courtyard.

At the same time that Qianye flew out of the courtyard, a jade dragon composed of white waves in the Kamogawa River also flew up, turning into a water arrow and flying towards Qianye.

The Thousand Nights Detective reached into the water arrow, pulled out a silver-white spear from the water arrow, and stood above the sky.

The voice of a thousand nights resounded throughout Kyoto: "Feathered fox! Come out and fight me! ”

—————————————————

What happened in Kyoto did not affect Tokyo.

After a busy day's work, Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi dragged their tired bodies back to Nanami Hashimoto's apartment in Minato Ward.

Mai Shiraishi took off her coat and rushed towards the bathroom.

Nana Hashimoto looked at Mai Shiraishi's clothes thrown on the ground and shook her head helplessly. Because of the reason that he likes to take a bath, after living with Mai Shiraishi, Nana Hashimoto waited for Mai Shiraishi to take a bath before going to take a bath.

Xiaobai was holding the socks that were thrown to his head by Mai Shiraishi at this time, and looked at Nanami Hashimoto helplessly: "Host, you should take care of this vixen, throw the socks on Xiaobai's face every day!" Xiaobai's head is not a trash can! ”

Nanami Hashimoto squatted down helplessly, took off the socks hanging on Xiaobai's head, rubbed its head and comforted: "Okay, Xiaobai, don't be angry, I'll say Mai." Don't be too angry with her, she bought you apples today! ”

"Xiaobai will not be bought by Apple!" Although he said this angrily, Xiaobai's eyes still unconsciously glanced at the plastic bag in Nanami Hashimoto's hand, and his nose sniffed the smell of apples.

"Okay, okay, just like Mai as a tribute for you, and when she takes a bath, we can eat." Nana Hashimoto patted Xiaobai's head.

After comforting Xiaobai, who was still a little indignant, Nana Hashimoto walked into the kitchen with a plastic bag and began to pack up the ingredients.

Although Mai Shiraishi's cooking skills are also among the best in Nogizaka 46, Nanami Hashimoto still cooks with her every day. While practicing his cooking skills, he is also learning from Mai Shiraishi. Nanami Hashimoto has a small hope in her heart, that is, she can cook a delicious and hearty dinner for Senya like a real wife. For this purpose, Nana Hashimoto has also bought a cooking book and is working it.

Mai Shiraishi, who had taken a bath, appeared behind Nanami Hashimoto with a body of moisture, and while her chin rested on Nanami Hashimoto's shoulder, her hands probed into the hem of Nanami Hashimoto's clothes.

Nana Hashimoto didn't feel the movement of Mai Shiraishi's hands on her chest, and sighed helplessly: "Mai, don't you get tired of playing like this every day?" After speaking, he turned to look at Mai Shiraishi, who was only wearing underwear and her delicate body with moisture exposed: "What excuse do you have today?" ”

"The new show starts today, I'm excited!" Mai Shiraishi smiled at Nanami Hashimoto.
