Kyoto, Nakakyo Ward, Arashiyama Taisha Shrine.

At this time, at dusk, the slanting sun dyed the sky red, the breeze blew, and the bright red maple leaves fluttered in the wind, and the ground was already bright red.

Li Weijing sat under a maple tree, with a knife more than half a meter long inserted by his side, his body exuded a faint spiritual power fluctuation, a maple leaf fell on him, and after a while, the entire maple leaf turned into ashes without burning.

A monk-like figure stood beside him, folded his hands, and silently recited the phrase "Nama Myoho-renge-kyo."

The hand was held on the sword, covered with spiritual power, and the entire knife was dyed pale red.

"Is this the spiritual power of this world?" Levi got up and looked into the distance, and he could see the whole of Kyoto.

As it gets dark, the shrine maidens begin to clean up the Arashiyama Taisha Shrine, and from time to time they can be heard complaining about when the thick fallen leaves on the ground will be cleared.

At the end of the day's practice, he soaked in the hot springs and relaxed his body. Leaning slightly on a rock wall and feeling the fluctuations of spiritual power in his body, even if Levi, who had been in this world for nearly a month, still felt incredible, and now he still felt unreal.

Levi is a time-traveler, formerly a twenty-five-year-old forest firefighter, who traveled back to the ancient world of Kyoto, which is full of weirdness and demons, after a forest fire, and feels like he has returned to the age of nineteen. It is said that he was picked up from a demon Buddha temple by the head of the Fujiwara family, and became the righteous son of the Fujiwara family, the head of the Kyoto temple shrine.

Because the head of the Fujiwara family had no children and only one daughter, Levi was equivalent to being the heir of the temple shrine and the Fujiwara family, and became one of the big names in the whole of Kyoto.

The temples in Kyoto are in charge of rituals and sacrifices, similar to the Zongbo or Taichangqing known to Li Wei in his previous life, and he is one of the six kings in status, second only to the three princes. He thought he should be able to become a happy feudal lord.

However, this is not a peaceful world, and according to what he has seen and heard in the past month, and what the head of the Fujiwara family has taught him, it is a time that resembles classical Kyoto, and there is a plaque on the gates of Kyoto that reads "Heian", but the truth is quite the opposite.

There are a lot of demons and weirdness in this world, choosing people to eat, killing people and eating people, breaking cities and exterminating them, nothing more than that. Even Kyoto, which is guarded by a large number of samurai, priests, and monks, is no exception, and demons and monsters often come in and create horrific incidents.

It is even rumored that all but a few capitals in Sakura no Kuni have become a territory of demons and weirdness.

In the month he traveled through, he killed a demon who sneaked into Kyoto, which made Levi in addition to Fujiwara Yoshiko's identity, and also have a trace of deeds in the circle of Kyoto that can be used as a talking point.

And spiritual power is the special power of this world. Samurai, monks, priests, and shrine maidens all have different applications of spiritual power, which is also the way this world deals with demons and weirdness. It is precisely by relying on spiritual power that the entire Heiankyo at least maintains a semblance of stability.

......The sound of clogs snapped rapidly, and a panting samurai broke into it, knelt on the ground suddenly, and the shaved head of Tsukiyo (that is, the Mediterranean) smacked heavily on the ground, and shouted: "Lord Fujiwara, the contemptible person has something important to see!" At the foot of Arashiyama, Kamiya was killed, and some passing samurai tried desperately to hold back the monster, and the contemptible begged Fujiwara-sama to come to his aid. ”

"Is it a demon or a weird?" Levi asked.

"Contemptible...... Unbeknownst to the contemptible, it seems to be a demonic swordsman possessed by evil spirits. ”

"I see." Levi quickly changed his clothes, it was a leather armor suit that was incompatible with the whole Heian Jing, like the cowboy leather armor of his previous life, with two strange things tied around his waist, and he finally brought a fighting knife and carried it behind his back.

He waved his hand slightly, and a samurai wearing a demon mask walked out in the shadows, saluting slightly. This samurai was a retainer of the Fujiwara clan and was his bodyguard after he became Yoshiko of the Fujiwara clan.

"Koizumi, gather the Ichiban swordsmen of the Fujiwara family, and let's leave as soon as possible." Levi put a wide bathrobe over the strange leather armor, and then put the knife on top of the bathrobe.

"Young family master, do you need to inform the priest of the Tuyumen family?"

"No, I'll do it myself this time."

At the foot of Arashiyama Mountain, Scarlet Wood Village, outside the Kamiya Gym.

A two-meter-tall man stood at the torii gate, wearing a hatted hat and a tattered cloak. Blood was dripping from the sword in his hand, and several samurai and ashigaru holding a sharpened bamboo surrounded him, but a closer look revealed their fear and fear. It was only the last bit of dignity of the samurai that forced them not to run away.

The executioner grabbed the sword with the elbow of his left hand and gently wiped it, and the blood on the knife that was so thick that it almost dried up disappeared, reflecting the cold light under the moon, aiming at the samurai and ashigaru who surrounded him.

"Drink!" One of the samurai shouted and jumped to his feet, his sword slashing down. Then all the samurai and ashigaru moved.

"Phew!" His sword was flicked off, and then the samurai who had come to sweep him were forced back at the same time, and the strange sword swirled in the moonlight, and all the sharp bamboos that Ashigaru stabbed at him were cut off.

These samurai and Ashigaru were defeated in just one round.

The executioner grabbed a samurai by the neck, lifting him up, and slowly raised the sword in his hand.

A "whoosh" sound sounded through the air, and the executioner threw down the samurai in his hand, and the sword flew away with the arrows that came at great speed.

"Fujiwara samurai Ichiban team, participate!"

I don't know who yelled, and this sound brought hope to everyone.

Levi put his hand on the sword at his waist, made a joint starting gesture, and said to the warrior beside him, "You give me a sweep." ”

He looked at the enemy, the man like a lonely shadow standing in a storm, the wind whistling and the tattered cloak hunting. The executioner threw a huge hat forward, and his figure flashed like a dark crow in the night sky, and in the blink of an eye, it was suddenly coming in a blink of an eye, not matching the agility of his tall body.

Levi was still holding the knife and confronted the swift executioner.

"Bang!" An untimely sound sounded under the moon, and the crows in the woods were all startled away in the sound.

The executioner, who was less than ten meters away from Levi, came to an abrupt halt before falling to his knees, red blood staining his chest.

"You can't even see me draw my sword." Levi still held the hilt of his sword in his right hand, but he held a revolver in his left hand, and then inserted it into the pouch inside his bathrobe.
