"Ah Long, since you are the escort of Lord Xixing, then you must also know the rumor two hundred years ago, there was once a beautiful woman, there were five adults in the court who admired her, but none of them got the heart of that woman, and one of those five was——"

"Right Minister, Fujiwara is not equal to ......"

"Sure enough, Aaron, you've heard this story." Ali smiled and nodded, she was not surprised that Takeya knew these things, after all, that westbound mansion was once the Fujiwara family's mansion.

Then she asked, "Then do you know which of these rumors are rumored and which are true?" ”

"Well...... this"

If you want to talk about that past, I'm afraid no one will know more than Wu Ye, because he is one of the parties involved

"All...... Right? Takeya replied hesitantly, whether it was Kaguya-hime's beauty and touching, or Fujiwara Fubi, who admired her, all this seemed to be true.

"Indeed," Ah Li put away his smile, and a look of remembrance appeared on his face, "That woman's name is Kaguyahime, and her beauty is passed on by word of mouth, even if I haven't met with her, I am deeply curious, and those five adults are probably really her ministers." ”

"I'm afraid? What do you mean? Wu Ye frowned slightly, listening to Ah Li's meaning, it seems that there is something hidden in this?

"It's all in the past, but since you asked, it doesn't hurt to tell you."

Ah Li sorted out her thoughts and said everything she knew: "Kaguya is beautiful, but after all, she is the daughter of the bamboo cutter, no matter how outstanding her appearance is, Lord Aaron, do you really think that there will be five adults in high positions who will put down their bodies and pursue her desperately?" ”

Wu Ye was slightly stunned, and had roughly guessed what Ah Li was going to say, and said lightly: "It's indeed as you said, it's very unreasonable." ”

"Those five adults are all important figures in the dynasty, and they will put down their bodies to pursue Kaguya-hime, and the most fundamental reason is that this is the imperial decree of His Majesty the Son of Heaven," Ali took a deep breath and slowly said the most secret part: "Kaguya-hime has the secret recipe for making the elixir of immortality. ”

The medicine of Penglai......

Wu Bu sank his mind quietly, but his face was not obvious, and he simply agreed: "So, those five adults went to pursue Kaguya-hime for the sake of immortal medicine?" ”

"Yes, on the surface, it is a pursuit, but in fact, it is to supervise her to make the elixir of immortality, but it's a pity that people are not as good as heaven," Ali smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect all this to be Kaguya-hime's lie." ”

"Lies?"

"Yes, there is no immortal elixir at all, Kaguya-hime is missing, and the fire on the outskirts of Kyoto completely angered the Son of Heaven-sama, but the five adults who were bewitched by Kaguya-hime with her beauty, they are still exonerating Kaguya-hime who escaped in the end."

Ah Li raised her head, and under the cold moonlight, her tone was very sad: "Except for the Fujiwara-sama who finally chose to escape the world, the remaining four adults were all belittled by the Son of Heaven, and ended up dying or exiled, and the family behind them also declined. ”

"That's right." Wu Ye lowered his head and sighed, although he and Fujiwara only got along for a few days, but after all, he was Meihong's father, and it was really embarrassing to have such an ending in the end.

Wu Ye raised his head and looked at Ah Li: "Ah Li, then the crime you said you committed before, should it be-"

"That's right," although it was an unbearable past, Ah Li showed a relieved smile: "As the priest of the imperial family, my mission is to act as an intermediary between the five adults and His Majesty the Son of Heaven, that is to say, apart from the five of them, I am the last person to know about this secret." ”

"I see, that's why you're being asked."

"Yes, His Majesty the Son of Heaven cannot allow his wisdom to be tarnished, so whether it is the elixir of immortality or being deceived by Kaguyahime, someone must bear these stains for him, and the same is true for the five adults, and so is it for me."

Ah Li's face first showed a melancholy expression, and then dispersed: "Fortunately, with the help of Lord Zi, I can survive, and the barnyard family can be saved." ”

"Then you really have a fate."

Wu didn't know what kind of expression to show, and A-Li's experience probably had his own share, but on the other hand, if he hadn't figured out what the identity of "the wise man who returned from the mainland", Yakumo Zi probably wouldn't have come to Kyoto.

So is this considered that he cheated Ali, or did he save Ali's life?

"It seems that from that time on, the contradictions between humans and youkai became irreconcilable."

Ah Li's sudden exclamation made Wu Ye stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

"Huh? Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't make it clear," Ari smiled apologetically, and then said, "Actually, on the night of Kaguyahime's departure, it was not in Kyoto, but it was very close to the suburbs, and an amazing battle broke out. ”

Fighting—is it ......?

Wu Ye frowned, Ah Li's words just now mentioned a fire, although there is no direct evidence, but eight or nine are not far from ten, it should be the traces of the battle between Mei Hong and Kaguya.

No anomaly was found in Takeya, and Ali continued, "After that battle, the Onmyoji in Kyoto found an extremely strong demonic aura near that battlefield, presumably it must be a trace of a great youkai. ”

“......”

"The presence of the Great Yokai in Kyoto, the disappearance of Kaguyahime, and the hoax of the Elixir of Immortality have made the big names in Kyoto really start to face up to the threat of yokai, 'It's not a beast in the countryside, but a fierce poison that can harm us' - someone put forward this opinion at the time."

Takeya suddenly felt a little pain in his brain: "Wait, Ah Li, hasn't there been a youkai in Kyoto before?" ”

"That's not it, it's just that it's so blatant, unscrupulously releasing demonic power, and it's so arrogant that it fights on the outskirts of Kyoto, and even affects Kyoto, for human beings, this kind of arrogance that no one in their eyes is a provocation at all."

“......”

"And it's not just humans, youkai also knew something about these things at that time, maybe they didn't know the story of Kaguya-hime, but they can smell the powerful demonic aura in the sky over Kyoto for a long time."

While talking and laughing, Ah Li brought out another astonishing fact: "I heard Lord Purple say that the ghost clan chose to attack Kyoto at that time, on the one hand, because of the lack of territory, and on the other hand, some ghosts were attracted by the battle that broke out in Kyoto. ”

"No, it won't ......?" Takeya's face was a little not good.

"'Even nobodies can be afraid of the humans in Kyoto, so why should we stop?' - I heard from Lord Zi that many ghost clans had such thoughts at that time. ”

Ah Li said, and couldn't help but sigh: "Although the contradiction between humans and youkai has never been irreconcilable, but it can deteriorate to this extent in just a hundred years, and the battle in Kyoto is not small, and it is probably the fuse of everything." ”
