Chapter 408: Onmyoji Qingming
Letting Ibaraki Boy go back to tutoring is just a casual remark, and Kiryu is more concerned about the eclipse and whether it has anything to do with his mission.
There is also a woman in need of help from Rashomon, and there is no news so far.
After three days in a row, except for leaving the hotel with special services, Kiryu's daily action plan has not changed.
Take a stroll along Suzaku Avenue in Heiankyo and take a double turn in front of Rashomon.
Night.
"Bang bang bang!"
There was a loud knock on the door.
"Who is it?" The Ibaraki boy opened the door, and a group of soft-armored guards with bows and arrows on their backs and long knives rushed in.
The person who rushed in glared at a pair of big copper bell-like eyes, glanced at Kiryu first-class and Ibaraki Boy, and said, "Take both of them!" ”
"You!" The Ibaraki boy raised his hand, but one hand grabbed its wrist one step faster.
"My lord, I don't know what happened?" Kiryu asked, "Why did you suddenly arrest us?" ”
"You are outsiders who have just come to Heiankyo" The man looked at Kiryu as tall and handsome, and there were two knives on the table, and although the maid serving on the side had a broken arm and no makeup, she was extremely beautiful, and her attitude was not as impulsive as just now: "It's the minister's order, and there are monsters attacking people in Ankyo, and three people have already died." ”
"Three?"
These nobles don't treat people as human beings, and there are four or five people who die in their hands every day, so can the three people who die in the hands of demons still be considered a big deal?
The bronze bell-eyed big man didn't want to answer, but he felt that Kiryu had a trusting temperament, and completely forgot that he was here to arrest people, and nodded and replied: "Yes, from the time there was a vision in the sky, the first night he died, Tamazo-sama died, he was eaten and the ghost gnawed off his shoulder, the second victim Fujiwara Tanetsugu's nose was missing, and the third person was his mouth." ”
"Because Lord Saibu is worried that it is a demon who is causing trouble, let's investigate the stranger who entered Heiankyo."
After finishing speaking, the big man with the copper bell eyes grabbed his hair.
He just realized why he would say this inexplicably to a suspected object.
"It turns out that the dead are all big shots" Kiryu first-class can understand why he will raise the teacher and move the people, ordinary people are like grass mustard, and only when the big man is hurt, will he get serious.
"Do you know this thing?" Kiryu asked as he took out the Buddhist beads that the old monk had given him.
"It's ...... Buddha beads of Koyasan! ”
Dahan looked at Kiryu in surprise, and he hurriedly lowered his head: "I didn't expect you to be the master of Koyasan." ”
"I'm not a master, but I happened to meet the monk who was going to come to Heiankyo on the way, and he asked me to convey a word to someone, but when I first came to Heiankyo, I didn't know who he was looking for."
"This ...... I don't know" Dahan scratched his head and smiled: "Since you are a friend of the monk Koyasan, you must have nothing to do with ghosts, please forgive me for disturbing your rest tonight." ”
"Out of the way."
Dahan nodded gratefully to Kiryu first-class, and then left with someone.
The door closed, the group had already left, and Kiryu asked Ibaraki beside him, "Three people died, did you do it?" ”
"No" Ibaraki shook his head: "There are not many youkai in the Great River, only a few youkai, I am in Heiankyo, they will go hunting in other places." ”
"It seems that someone has broken into the hunting ground of your great rivers and mountains."
"This is not a hunting ground in the Great River Mountain" Ibaraki Boy lowered his head and said, "The strongest onmyoji Abe Harumi is in Heiankyo, although the ghosts and gods are rampant, they don't dare to really do anything to the nobles. ”
"Who?" Kiryu was stunned.
"Abe Harumi ......" Ibaraki Boy was a little incomprehensible, Abe Harumi was the most famous person in the entire Heiankyo, but it remembered that Kiryu was a foreigner, so he took the initiative to introduce: "Abe Harumi is a very strong onmyoji, it is rumored that he is the son of a white fox, and ordinary monsters don't want to provoke him." ”
Abe...... Clear! ”
Kiryu clenched his right hand into a fist and tapped the palm of his left palm: "Find a chance to see Abe Harumi!" ”
With such a good opportunity, it would be a waste not to ask Abe Qingming to learn some skills.
After dawn, Kiryu cleaned up and left the hotel.
Abe Harumi's mansion was not difficult to find, and after a little inquiry on the way, he and Ibaraki found a mansion with a "bellflower print" painted on the door.
The bellflower seal, also known as the five-pointed star array, which represents the five elements of yin and yang, is also said to have been invented by Abe Harumi.
Before they could get closer, the door had already "creaked" and automatically opened to both sides.
"It seems that the master is inviting us in" Kiryu said to Ibaraki Boy, "You used to be a demon who harmed people, but now that you are obedient to me, I was still wondering if Abe Harumi would make a move on you, and now it seems that he should not do anything to you." ”
The Ibaraki boy said, "Wherever Childe goes, I will go." ”
A Momotaro rice ball brainwashed the Ibaraki boy into this, and Kiryu can only praise the blue fat man's causality props.
Entering the courtyard, there is first a garden with butterflies flying in the garden.
Further inside, laughter was heard.
After approaching, I saw a handsome man holding a folding fan, with a white face and fox eyes, who was listening to the music at the gazebo beating the beat, very comfortable.
Behind him, there are more than a dozen maids playing the harp, playing the flute, beating the drum, pouring tea, fanning, dancing, and humming.
"The guests are here."
The strange and handsome man sat up straight, his fingers lightly hooked in the air, and then swiped.
More than a dozen maids suddenly dissipated, transformed into paper figures, fell to the ground, and with its beckoning, no wind flew up and fell into the palm of its hand.
"Kiryu first-class" Kiryu first-class introduced himself: "When I first came to Heian-kyo, I heard the name of His Excellency Haruaki Abe, so I came to meet him. ”
"Your Excellency Kiryu has the means to be shocked by even the demons and gods."
Abe's fox-like eyes turned his gaze, first at the Lion King on Kiryu's waist, and then at the Ibaraki boy who was quietly following behind him.
"Such a fierce ghost is willing to abandon evil and follow good, and the charm of Childe is really a ghost, hahahaha~" He joked.
"Your Excellency Abe is joking."
With Abe Harumi's joke, Kiryu was a little relaxed, after all, he was a deified character, and he would inevitably be a little restrained in his heart.
Abe Harumi suddenly looked at Kiryu's first-class wrist: "What does Monk Ke want to tell me?" ”
Kiryu raised his arm first-class, only to find that Abe Harumi was looking at the Buddha beads on his wrist.
"Why, do you think I'm too direct?" Qingming asked rhetorically.
Kiryu was also first-class, and sat down cross-legged directly and said: "Since you and I have already met, we are friends, and since we are friends, of course we don't need to use honorific titles." ”
"Hahaha, you're really an interesting person!" Abe smiled heartily.
Kiryu took off the beads and said, "That monk, he asked me to tell someone at that time, and his master has already received it. ”
Qingming nodded: "That's good." ”
Even if Kiryu's first-class brain turns slowly, he knows that the person the monk is looking for is Abe Harumi, but why the other party will confirm that he will definitely see Harumi is unknown.
"...... is that monk?"
"His master is a high monk, Shamen Kukai" Qingming said: "Shamen Kukai once sent Tang envoys to the Tang Dynasty back then, and he was a very admirable person. ”
The chat with Abe Harumi is very simple, his fox eyes seem to be able to see through people's hearts, and the topic can always continue, but because of this, Kiryu has never been able to ask Abe Harumi to learn some spells.
"I came to Heiankyo this time because there is an existential ......," Kiryu said, "It tells me that there is a woman waiting for me in Rashomon and needs my help, but it has been three or four days, and I haven't seen that woman yet." ”
Abe Harumi was a little more serious: "God's instructions?" Recently, the sky has been chaotic, and it may be that your matter has something to do with the events behind this incident. ”
"It's best not to get involved," Kiryu said, "I don't want to get into too much trouble." ”
"Hahaha, you and I are really natural friends" Abe Harumi sighed, raised his index finger, and a butterfly landed on his fingertips: "Everything has its own law of development, and being at peace with what happens is the attitude towards things...... Today's flowers will wither tomorrow, and time will move forward, and you and I will eventually become withered flowers and be crushed into the dirt. ”
Kiryu looked at Abe Harumi first-class, not knowing whether he was a human, a god, or a demon.
However, with Abe Harua's research on the way of yin and yang, it is not difficult to see the rise and fall of history through divination and astrology, and even Kiryu suspects that Abe Harumi knows that he is not from this era, but from a thousand years later.
"Qingming, it turns out that you have guests."
A straightforward voice came from behind, breaking the time-space conversation between the two that had spanned thousands of years.
"This is Kiryu first-class," Harumi took the initiative to introduce, "a mage who has just come to Heiankyo." ”
Kiryu raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't expect Qingming to know his favorite nonsense excuse he usually uses, or can he really see through people's hearts?
The man approached Kiryu and said, "In Shimogen Boya." ”
Kiryu nodded first-class, knowing each other.
Yuan Boya, also known as the "God of Yale", has the reputation of "the god of Yale".
"I'm looking for you today......" Yuan Boya said to Qingming.
"Is it because you look at a girl and think about the flute she thinks about every day?"
"You!" Yuan Boya was taken aback: "How do you know?!" ”
"Hahaha" Qingming just smiled heartily, but didn't say why.
"You must be playing tricks on me with spells again!"
On the side, Kiryu sighed, Qingming's magical power is extremely strong, and he can't even bear it, a person who has been a thousand years later, not to mention Yuan Boya, who completely wrote "I'm in love" on his face.
You don't need a spell to know it.
"I came to you today because something big happened," Gen Boya said, "The priest of Saibu is dead, and his leg has been eaten by evil spirits. ”
