Kyoto, located in the southern part of Kyoto Prefecture in western Japan, is an inland city located in the northern half of the Kyoto Basin and the eastern mountains of the Tamba Highlands, and is the largest city in Kyoto Prefecture by land area. It served as the capital of Japan for 1,200 years, from the Heian period to the Meiji Restoration, and is the true place of Japanese culture and the soul of Yamato.

At the end of the Nara period, Emperor Kanmu moved the capital from Heijokyo to Nagaokakyo in 784 A.D. in order to get rid of the influence of the Buddhist monasteries in Nara. However, less than 10 years later, Emperor Kanmu moved the capital to Heiankyo in Yamashiro Province in 794 A.D. at the suggestion of Waki Kiyomaro, and thus began the Heian period and the history of Kyoto as the capital of Japan. Heiankyo's location is based on Feng Shui ideas and modeled after Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty of China, and is a traditional city with an area equivalent to one-fifth of the size of Chang'an Castle in the Tang Dynasty. Located directly north of Heiankyo, the Emperor's residence, the city is divided into two symmetrical parts, Ukyo and Sakyo, centered on Suzaku Daiji.

Kyoto City is rich in historical sites and is one of the most important centers of traditional Japanese culture. In 1994, some of Kyoto's historic buildings were designated as World Heritage Sites under the name of "Cultural Heritage of Ancient Kyoto".

During World War II, Kyoto was one of the few cities in Japan that was less bombed by U.S. air raids due to the efforts of the Chinese architect Liang Sicheng, making it one of the few cities in Japan that still has a wealth of pre-war architecture.

There is probably no other city with as many secluded temples and shrines as Kyoto, making it one of the most culturally rich cities in the world. Walking through the streets of Kyoto, you can feel the rich history and culture everywhere.

Chiya and Honey Worm walked on the banks of the Kamogawa River, and Harunobu Tsuchigomon, who had visited the Taisha Shrine, followed behind them with a respectful face.

Since the death of Abe Harumi, the most powerful onmyoji in Japan has existed for thousands of years, and the unfathomable strength of Harumin Dogomon has been deeply aware of it when he visited the Taisha Shrine last time. And the honey worm that followed behind Qianye was the original Abe Harumi's Shikami, which was recorded on the secret scroll of the Tuyumen family, and the two of them, whether their identities or strength, made him unable to find any reason to be disrespectful.

"The millennium of Kyoto has passed by the years, and everything that was once has passed with time, leaving only the Kamogawa River flowing quietly as it was a thousand years ago." Walking on the banks of the Kamogawa River, Qianye seems to have become sentimental, and between his eyebrows, there is also a sense of nostalgia that cannot be dissolved.

The honey worm that followed behind Qianye also said with some nostalgia: "How many things in this world can withstand the washing of time, and only this Yachuan River is still flowing as it was thousands of years ago." At this time, an ayu jumped out of the water, splashing a splash on the surface of the Yachuan River, and the honeyworm looked at the ayu that jumped out of the water, and smiled at the corner of her mouth: "The little girl still remembers that at that time, Lord Boya liked to visit the master of Qingming with the sweetfish and the emperor's wine, and every time he would be surprised why the little girl would roast the sweetfish so quickly." ”

"Boya is an interesting person." Thinking of his old friend, Qianye also laughed: "Qingming explained to him carefully every time, but unfortunately he never understood any 'spell'." Chiya stopped and looked at the traditional and modern buildings on the banks of the Kamogawa River in front of her, and the sound of flowing water echoed in her ears as it did a thousand years ago, and her thoughts seemed to go back to a thousand years ago.

"How's the Fox's seal?" The expression on Qianye's face fell silent, but the cold voice struck on the heart of Tsuchiyumen Harunobu like Hong Zhong Dalu.

In the face of Qianye's inquiry, Tuyumen Harunobu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said respectfully to Qianye: "Back to Lord Chiba, after the last incident, the Tuyumen family has rechecked the seal of the feathered fox. But ......"

"Say whatever you want." Qianye's tone was flat, and he couldn't hear joy or anger.

"But the seal is still safe and sound, there is nothing wrong with it, and the body of the feather-clothed fox in the seal has not moved." Harumobu Tsuchigomon's tone was a little apprehensive, not knowing if the answer he came up with would satisfy Chiya, but he continued: "Not only that, but the Tsuchigomon family also carefully inspected the inside and outside of Kyoto, and found no abnormalities. After speaking, he stood aside respectfully.

Although Harunobu Domimon's face was calm, his forehead was already stained with sweat, and his fingertips were trembling slightly, obviously at this time, Dogomon Harunobu was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

However, Chiya did not express anger at Tsuchiomon Harunobu's answer, as if Qianya, who was immersed in memories of the past, had a calm face: "Is that so?" It looks the same as it was 400 years ago. ”

Qianye's words made Tsuchigomon Harunobu a little confused, but Tsuchigomon Harunobu was obviously not the time for him to answer at this time, so he stood silently aside, waiting for Chiya's orders.

As you gaze at the Kamogawa River, the cherry blossoms on the riverside have already fallen, but in early summer, the banks of the Kamogawa River are still lush with vegetation and the riverbank is full of resting tourists. Looking at this leisurely scenery and the quiet and peaceful Kyoto, Chiya sighed and said to the honey worms, "If the sun is clear, it should be nice to see Kyoto today." ”

Hearing Qianye say this, the eyes of the honey worm also showed admiration: "If it were not for the protection of Mr. Xuanyi and Master Harumi, how could Kyoto enjoy such a thousand years of peace?" ”

"A thousand years of tranquility? Emperor Kanmu named Kyoto Heian-kyo, but this Heian-kyo has never been truly peaceful. Honeyworm's words made a self-deprecating smile appear on Chiya's face: "Protect Kyoto? Qingming left the formation to protect Kyoto from the invasion of demons, and I sat in Kyoto for 600 years to put an end to evil, but we never wanted to protect Kyoto, it was just Boya's entrustment. It's a pity that Kyoto is still there, but Boya and Harumi have been around for thousands of years. Speaking of his old friend, Qianye's face was also lonely, and he sighed.

"I don't want to break the silence if I could." However, Chiya quickly recovered, and sighed to the honey worm on the side: "If you start a war with the feathered fox in Kyoto, no matter what the outcome is, this peace and tranquility will no longer exist." ”

Seeing Qianye's look of emotion, the honey worm persuaded Qianye: "This is also a matter of no choice, if you let the feathered fox do the trouble, the old things of four hundred years ago will be repeated." This land can't afford to fight Sekigahara and Osaka Summer Battle again, Mr. Genyi, even if Master Harumi and Mr. Boya know about this, they will be considerate of what you do. ”

Senya shook his head and didn't speak, just stood on the embankment and quietly looked at the Kamogawa River flowing in front of him.

At this time, a group of students who seemed to have skipped class ran past Qianye, and the sound of laughter drifted on both sides of the Kamogawa River with the light breeze, looking at the way this group of young students ran and played, Qianye suddenly chuckled as if he had taken off some burden, took out the ghost flute Ye Er from his sleeve, and played it like this.

The sound of the flute flows quietly along the Kamogawa River, and some tourists also stop to listen to the wonderful sound of the flute, and many people even take out their mobile phones to take pictures. Qianye is dressed like an ancient minister, so that many people's eyes can't help but be attracted to him. Several young female high school students held their mobile phones and looked at Qianye excitedly, as if they wanted to come over for a group photo, but they were afraid of disturbing Qianye.

At the end of the song, Qianye put down the ghost flute in his hand, Ye Er, and it seemed that the original sorrow had been taken away by the water of the Kamogawa River with the sound of the flute, and there was a relaxed smile on his face. And one of the high school girls who had been waiting for a long time was pushed out by her companion and walked towards Qianye.

The girl, who looked quite handsome, held her mobile phone and stood in front of Qianye a little nervously, but she still boldly asked, "Hello, may I ask if you are the onmyoji Mr. Chiba who has been on the Nogizaka 46 show?" After saying that, he looked at Qianye with apprehensive eyes, as if he was expecting something.

Qianye smiled and nodded and said, "In Xia Chiba Qianye, is there anything Miss is looking for?" ”

Qianye's words made the girl excited, and said happily: "I'm Nogizaka 46's rice, because I saw Mr. Chiba on TV, and I recognized it just now, so I took the liberty of coming over hoping to take a photo with Mr. Chiba, can I ask?" ”

Chiya smiled and agreed to the girl's request, and after taking a photo with Chiya, the girl returned to her companion a little shyly, and immediately showed off her photo with Chiya.

"Even after a thousand years, Mr. Xuanyi is still so likable to women." The honey worm covered her lips with her sleeve and chuckled softly.

Qianye didn't care about the words of the honey worm, looking at the peaceful and peaceful Kyoto in front of him, but he still made a decision in his heart: "Tsuchigomon Harunobu." Chiya didn't turn around, just shouted the name of Harunobu Dogomon.

"Harumina is here, please ask Chiba-sama to command." When Tsuchiyoto Harunobu heard Chiya call his name, he didn't dare to slack off, and stood behind Chiya seriously, waiting for his orders.

"Tomorrow I will go to check the seal of the feathered fox, so that you people from the Tuyumen family can prepare and don't make any mistakes." Qianye commanded to Tsuchigomon Harunobu.

Harumin hurriedly bowed deeply to show his understanding: "Harumin understands, please rest assured that Lord Chiba, the Tuyumen family will be waiting for the arrival of Lord Chiba wholeheartedly." ”

Qianye nodded undeniably, and waved his hand to let Tsuchigomon Harunobu leave.

After Tsuchigomon Harunobu said goodbye, Chiya asked the honey worm, "When is the Kamo Festival?" ”

"It's May 15th, do you have any questions about Mr. Xuanyi?" The honey worm didn't understand why Chiya asked about the Kamo Festival.

Qianye didn't answer the question of the honey worm, but just said to himself with a blank look in his eyes: "Fifteen, there are still a few days left, so this matter must be resolved before the Kamo Festival." ”
