Xiao Yan's phone soon received an email, and he looked down at the email for a while. Then he looked up, and vaguely felt an indescribable sense of familiarity in his surroundings. This made him a little strange, and he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "This is Kyoto University?" ”

"No, sir, we've crossed the road from Kyoto University, and we're now heading in the direction of the Imperial Palace. It's a shame that I wanted you to visit the palace today, but it seems that we will have to wait until tomorrow. If you're free tomorrow. ”

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Imperial Palace?" You mean, the palace? ”

"No, the Imperial Palace is no longer in Kyoto, and the Emperor is living in Tokyo. It's a shame that this was once the residence of the emperor, but it was later destroyed by fire. After the Restoration, a new imperial palace was rebuilt here, but the emperor had already gone to Tokyo, and it was just a sight. ”

Xiao Yan whispered: "It's all on the same line." ”

The driver smiled and said, "Yes, yes, they are all on the same line, and this is the road that the ministers walked in the past, which is very noble." ”

For such an expression, Xiao Yan just smiled in return. What he thinks about is completely different from what the driver thinks. In the gap in history, Xiao Yan clearly remembered that the demon was the rhizome of the Tree of the World Realm that was devoured under the Chang Yu Palace. At that time, Xiao Yan did not know the specific direction of the rhizome of the tree of the world, but judging from today's route, there is a large shrine and a temple of the Pure Land sect in the direction west of the Kyoto Imperial Palace. If the demon devoured the rhizome of the Tree of the World Realm in this direction, it would not be possible to go completely unnoticed.

Xiao Yan didn't know if there would be a guardian of Fusang in this shrine and the temple of the Pure Land Sect, but for now. The demons do not seem to have caused a monopoly infestation to the whole of Kyoto. Other words. Most of the dragon veins of Fuso do not spread from this direction. Now it feels like it used to be either south and all the way into the sea, or north. To the north of Kyoto is Mt. Hiei. The Enryakuji Temple on the mountain was once the base camp of the guardians of Fuso, and it was there that Oda Nobunaga set fire to it. It was also the monks of Enryakuji Temple who calmly went to death and chanted scriptures in the fire, which finally caused the legendary demons of Honnoji Temple to lose most of their combat effectiveness.

That is, if the demon goes directly to the north. Or go northeast, through Lake Biwa and devour the dragon veins in the direction of Tokyo, and eventually they will be discovered. No matter what the consequences were at that time, at least now Xiao Yan will definitely not see Scarlet Village Zhenlan who takes the protection of the dragon vein as his responsibility.

The final direction of the dragon vein determines where the demon will eventually appear in Fuso, which is a very important clue, so it is important to clarify this matter as soon as possible.

Xiao Yan looked at the map in his hand again, and from the palace to the south, he could also find a place he was very familiar with, the Tomb of Emperor Xiaoming. Then continue south and cross the Shinkansen. It is the Mausoleum of the Meiji Emperor. Seeing this, think about the original Imperial Tomb Guard. As well as the battle that took place at the Tomb of Emperor Xiaoming, Xiao Yan's fingers couldn't help but start sliding lightly across the map.

Soon, the Mausoleum of Emperor Meiji passed by Xiao Yan's fingertips, and Xiao Yan's fingers finally drew this tourist map. Subconsciously flipped over the map and glanced at it, Xiao Yan's gaze followed the southern part of Kyoto all the way down, and finally stopped at Wakayama.

Wakayama may not be very well-known to people in China, but it is often seen in Fuso manga, most famously for the tall hills in the center of Wakayama, where there is also a name called Koyasan.

Koyasan is a gathering place for the Tantric Buddhism of Fuso, which was also attacked and burned by Oda Nobunaga. The current building was rebuilt from the time of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. It can be understood that this was a place reserved for the guardians of the shogunate. Xiao Yan believed that even if they took refuge in the shogunate, these guardians would not have much of a good relationship with the new emperor. Otherwise, the demon who escaped from outside the Shanhaiguan Pass would just occupy the shogunate directly, why bother to occupy some imperial palace and then do something there?

In this way, the rhizomes of the Tree of the World Realm will not pass through the direction of Koyasan, and it can even be said that the dragon veins left for this demon to devour can only leave Kyoto from the south, enter Osaka in a southwestern direction, and then enter the sea from Osaka.

Into the sea?

Xiao Yan lightly tapped the map in his hand, how familiar the orientation of this path was. More coincidentally, this route is almost adjacent to the rhizome of the World Tree that extends from the direction of Australia. It's like the tree of the world spreads two rhizomes here in Fuso at the same time, and it is almost the same in the vicinity of Kyoto, and the distance is not much different.

It sounds like a fantasy, or to put it another way, the rhizome comes straight from the northwest and spreads all the way to Koyasan. This direction is very much in line with the route that the demon took to cross the sea from the northeastern region of Huaxia to Fusang after being hit hard, and it is also in line with the previous research in Huaxia about the direction of the extension of the rhizome of the tree of the world. In this way, the rhizomes on the southward direction from Kyoto should still be preserved. Obviously, this also corresponds to the fact that Scarlet Village Zhenlan has lived until now, and it should be the closest conclusion to the truth so far.

Xiao Yan rubbed his chin, now his beard has begun to rise continuously, shaving it every morning, and by the afternoon the stubble is already a little prickly. In this stinging feeling, Xiao Yan could feel that the vehicle was starting to drive in the southwest direction. From here, he couldn't see the Mausoleum of Emperor Komei or Emperor Meiji, but after looking at the map, he always had the feeling that something was there.

Two hours later, the Lexus was parked back in the hotel's underground parking lot, and when Xiao Yan got out of the car, the driver still bowed to him slightly and whispered: "Thank you very much for your patronage, if necessary, please call the switchboard directly." ”

Xiao Yan nodded, turned around and walked to the elevator in the underground parking lot, the elevator door opened quickly, and a woman hurriedly walked out from inside. The woman was not too tall, about one and a half meters, dressed in a traditional kimono, and had a strange scent on her body, like musk, which seemed to be incomplete, but one thing was certain, compared to the industrial perfume of European countries, the fragrance on this girl's body was purer and seemed to be more ethereal.

At the same time that this girl passed by Xiao Yan, the corners of Xiao Yan's eyes jumped again. With his current vision, it can be clearly seen that this kimono girl has at least level 2 strength. This strength is not surprising to Xiao Yan at all, even if it is placed among the trialists, it can be said to be a big handful. The problem is that this kimono girl is not a trialist at all, and there is no sign of awakening, just from the outside, she is no different from a normal person.

Today is really a coincidence, Xiao Yan thought in his heart, he saw Scarlet Village Zhenlan in the museum, and then saw the Fusang Palace where he had been to, and now, he can actually see the guardian of Fusang. It's just that I don't know if the guardian of the Shogunate is inherited from Orthodoxy, or from those who surrendered to the shogunate.

But now these don't mean much to Xiao Yan, he calmly entered the elevator, chose the floor where he lived, and then stood there, quietly waiting for the elevator door to close.

Just as the elevator door was about to close, a scabbard suddenly appeared in the gap between the elevators, and the elevator slowly reopened after a short alarm bell. The kimono girl walked in and first showed Xiao Yan a look at the Taidao that she didn't know where Lu Dao was hiding before, it was a wooden knife, and it didn't look like any threat. Then the girl looked at Xiao Yan and said seriously: "These gentlemen, you are about to have a catastrophe. ”

Xiao Yan rubbed his chin with a wry smile and said, "It's good, I'm going to have a big disaster, thank you very much for your reminder." ”

The wooden knife girl was stunned and asked, "Don't you think it's strange?" Someone like me would ask you such a presumptuous topic. ”

Xiao Yan watched the elevator start rising again, and asked calmly, "Okay, this lady, where are you going?" ”

The wooden knife girl frowned and looked at Xiao Yan again, this young man was different from everyone she had ever seen, that kind of stability was not contrived at all, but a real spontaneous performance. The others either didn't believe everything she said, and that maturity had a deliberate flavor, or they believed her prophecy and panicked. No matter what kind of performance it is, it can't be equated with today's teenagers. The boy gestured as if to say, "Oh, yes, and then what? ”

Yes, and then what?

The girl's nightmare is getting more and more terrible day by day, but because this nightmare that predicts that the whole of Kyoto, and even the whole of Fuso, and the entire world of the world will fall into a terrible end, is too terrible, but there is no more.

After the nightmare, it was still a nightmare, and there was no then.

"You believe me?"

The wooden knife girl looked at Xiao Yan in disbelief and said, "They don't believe me, they don't believe me from the bottom of their hearts." Yes, I told them what was going to happen, but no one believed it. ”

Xiao Yan re-observed the girl in the kimono and asked, "Do you have the ability to prophesy?" ”

The Wooden Knife Maiden replied, "No, no, I can see some strange things, and then, I can feel what these things are going on, I can't tell, I can't explain." Is it a prophecy that these things often come true? ”

Xiao Yan rubbed his nose and said, "If everything you say will come true, it is the 'inevitability' of prophecy; In other words, everything you say will come true. ”

The girl frowned slightly and asked, "What?" ”

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "No, it's nothing, let me introduce myself, my name is Xiao Yan, and I'm from Huaxia." ”

"In Shimojikata Mako, please take care of me." (To be continued......)
