The little turtle and the big dog rarely saw their second lady show such a little daughter's posture, and they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, "Isn't she having an enmity with this person, why is she behaving like this?"

They know that two disciples died in the Abe family, but how exactly they died, Abe, my grandson, didn't open his mouth, and no one dared to ask.

Many disciples saw that Reiko was carried back by Abe and my grandson alone, and they knew in their hearts that she had suffered a defeat outside.

Although Reiko's strength is the top in the Abe family, it is not the top, and they are not too surprised by its defeat, after all, there are many capable people in the world, and his Abe family is not unique.

and then follow her usual coquettish behavior and think a little, Reiko Abe should hate the people who defeated her, but looking at today's state, she can't wait to stick to Kojiro.

But Reiko has her own considerations, she attaches great importance to her identity, and she looks down on ordinary people with her noble status. Even if that person's martial arts are superb and extremely handsome, it is not worth it in her eyes.

The two fought that day, she already knew in her heart that this 'beggar' with no internal strength was not weak in martial arts, and now that he had changed his identity and put on a feather weaving printed with the family crest of 'Takeda Ling', she made her re-examine Kojiro.

Coupled with his already handsomeness, coupled with brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes, it added charm, which caused Reiko to think about it.

It's also strange that Kojiro and the others got up very early and washed up early, otherwise Reiko Abe wouldn't be so obsessed when she saw their dusty faces.

The little turtle and the big dog were displeased when they saw the obsessive expression on their second miss's face, "Where is this person good, can he compare to the two of us?"

But they got the order of Xiao San to be humble and polite to Kojiro and others, so they pressed it in their hearts and bowed and said: "Abe's Abe little turtle and Abe big dog worship." On the orders of my master, Kozo Abe, I would like to invite you to the Abe Mansion for a talk. ”

Yui sighed, pulled everyone behind their backs, and said, "What kind of medicine are they selling in their gourds?

Kojiro said, "I don't know, don't they hold a grudge against us? ”

Sun Sheng thought for a moment, "I can't guess what they think, but there must be demons when things go wrong, I don't think they should have any good intentions." ”

Jian Shizang is a big-hearted master, "Whatever, maybe people will invite us honestly." After all, the prestige of the hall owner is not blown, can't I ask?"

He came to this idea as soon as he said it, and he didn't care about everyone's plans, so he turned around and asked, "What did you Abe family ask us to do?"

This sentence frightened Yui, and gave him a brain scoop and shouted in a low voice: "Are you stupid, you can say this?!"

The little turtle and the big dog were very annoyed when they saw them muttering and muttering so outrageously, and they were very unhappy in their hearts, and muttered to themselves, "How many people in my Abe family can't come if they want to, and we who have surrendered our identities are still slandered by you like this, are you really not doing anything with our Abe family?"

The two of them were about to have a seizure and say something, but they saw Reiko Abe pointing to a graceful woman and said coquettishly: "Who are you? Why are you so close to him, let go of my hand!"

The person she was referring to was Qin Yao, she had always been willful, and she had a good impression of Kojiro in her heart, so she naturally regarded him as her own.

Seeing that Qin Yaosheng's delicate beauty was slightly inferior to himself, he had a charm that he had never had, and blurted out a slight jealousy in his heart.

How could the little turtle and the big dog think that the second lady of their family could say this, and the anger in their hearts was instantly made empty by her.

The big dog took Reiko's hand and whispered, "My second miss, don't you make a mess?"

Reiko raised her eyebrows and replied, "What is the chaos! I just can't look at it, you let me go!"

Qin Yao was stunned for a long time by Lingzi's unexplained words, but she was extremely elegant and smiled slightly, "My son-in-law is seriously injured and has not recovered, and he needs my support from time to time, and please don't be surprised by the second miss." ”

Yui glanced at Qin Yao as if to say, "This is the man you are chasing, you hold him for granted, why do you still say that!"

Qin Yao looked at her with fierce eyes, shook her head firmly and gave her a look back, as if to say, "Healing is important, first follow their second young lady's temperament, don't offend her." ”

The two of them have been together for a long time, and they can express a thousand words with one look. Yui shook her head, sighed, and left her alone.

The little turtle and the big dog glanced at each other, suppressing the displeasure in their hearts and saluting, "The head of the family calculated yesterday with the technique of yin and yang, and there were people at the time of the fire in the forest. Fearing that you would be frightened, I sent me to fetch you. ”

Kojiro thought to himself, "Anyway, we're going to Abe's house, regardless of whether he has a conspiracy or not." If there's a conspiracy, can you still go?"

So he saluted back and said loudly: "Thank you Abe-sama for your concern, I'll go with you later." ”

He took out a spirit tablet from his bosom, handed it to the two of them, and said, "This is what we found in the forest yesterday, it should be your Abe's belongings, and we will return it now." ”

The little turtle took the spirit card and the big dog took a closer look, and both of them were shocked, "Isn't this the spirit card of my ancestor Abe Harumi?!"

I saw that the spirit card had long been faceless, and the surroundings seemed to be burned by fire, and a crack on the spirit card went down from the top, and cracked straight to the word "sky" in the five golden words of "heaven, earth, king, pro, and teacher" before stopping.

The two of them carefully identified that this was indeed Abe Harumi's spirit card, and there were many questions in their hearts, "If this is really the ancestral spirit card, then who is enshrined in the shrine?"

But it was an important thing that Kojiro and the others found back, and the two knelt on the ground and said to Kojiro: "The adults are very gracious, and I will not forget it." ”

Kojiro smiled and helped the two of them up, saying something that didn't need to be thanked.

He just wanted to say something about the beauty of the spirit card, but he was hit by Yui, who put it in his ear and said, "What do you want to tell them?

Kojiro said "oh" and didn't say anything more, and the five of them walked behind the three of Abe's family.

Reiko Abe also felt that what she had just done was biased, and walked forward with her head down, rubbing her hands, and taking care of herself.

But she couldn't help but feel a throbbing in her heart, and from time to time she glanced back at Kojiro, and her heart was beating like a rattle.

Kojiro saw that her eyes were burning and he didn't dare to look at her, so he pulled Sun Sheng and Ji Shizang to chat.

Sun Sheng is still young, so he naturally doesn't know Kojiro's thoughts, although Ji Shizang is only a little older than him, he knows a lot about this, and quipped: "Little brother, does that woman have a crush on you?" ”

"I said that even if she takes a fancy to me, I can't look down on her. ”

Jian Shizang said again: "My face is red and I still say no, although you and the young lady are in love with each other, but we are not not allowed to have three wives and four concubines." When the time comes, wouldn't it be wonderful for you both to marry and go home and enjoy the blessings of all people. It's just ......"

"Just what?"

It's just that this woman is too vicious, and the two men of the Abe family treat the old lady so much, she not only doesn't stop it, but shields them. He even killed us for this, and these women will marry home and guarantee that you will suffer!"

"This ......"

Sun Sheng said: "It's normal to take a concubine in my hometown, little brother, do you want to take a concubine?"

Yui raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "Which of you wants to take a concubine, and who dares to take a concubine?"

She looked at the three of them and pointed at Kojiro and scolded: "Your Yao'er has taken a fancy to you, you dare to half-heartedly see that I don't kill you alive!"

Sometimes women are really unreasonable, Kojiro and Qin Yao didn't even have a word, and Yui stood out for her.

Hearing this, Kojiro didn't dare to talk, and stared at Sun Sheng with horizontal eyebrows.

Qin Yao looked at Kojiro silently, and his heart was full of mixed tastes.

They are not done yet, but Reiko Abe was angry when she heard this, and turned around and said sharply: "I am not allowed to take concubines!"

Yui said: "It's none of your business to play around, this matter is not next to your Abe's family." She was already angry, and she didn't care about any emotion and said it openly.

The little turtle and the big dog didn't care about the kindness of Kojiro's gift of the spirit card, and pulled Reiko over and whispered a few words to her.

After a short time of such noisy noise, they came to the dense forest, and although the 'Blood Mist Forest' was burned by them, there were many left.

The three members of the Abe family flipped and moved, and walked through the Forest of Blood Mist in an orderly manner. The dense woods beneath their feet seemed to have a road, and the three of them were unobstructed.

Sun Sheng looked at it carefully, and then clapped his hands and shouted: "Yes, I still wonder how the Abe family entered and exited the Forest of Blood Mist, it turns out that this is the truth." ”

Kojiro asked, "Aren't these all trees?"

Sun Sheng squatted down and casually drew on the ground and explained: "They are walking according to the method of the five elements of mutual regeneration and mutual restraint. Every ten steps, find the largest tree as the middle palace, the 'Forest of Blood Mist' is a tree, and the five elements are naturally wood. According to the principle of mutual restraint, you only need to take the gold position. ”

When everyone heard this, they all gathered around, and they were all inexplicable when they heard the 'golden position' in his mouth.

Kojiro asked, "I don't understand what you're talking about." ”

Qin Yao said: "This is our Chinese Yin and Yang Five Elements, and it's normal that you can't understand it." The 'Forest of Blood Mist' is wood, so let's just walk around its gold position. ”

"What is the 'golden position' you are talking about? I only know the south, east, west, and northwest, and what is the direction of this 'golden position'?"

Sun Sheng said: "The West belongs to Du, and the Five Elements belong to gold. I don't understand it when I tell you, just follow me in a while. ”

The Five Elements of Yin and Yang are thaumaturgy in ancient China, and the 'Yin and Yang Dao' practiced by the Onmyoji originated in China.

'Onmyodo' combines the theory of the five elements of yin and yang founded by the Guanxi and He clans in ancient China, and gradually became a natural science and spell system with local characteristics through the development of Japan, and became a part of Japanese Shinto.

In the final analysis, the Chinese theory of the five elements of yin and yang is the ancestor of the 'yin and yang way' that is spread in Japan.

The Abe family's deeds are quite advanced in Japan, and if they fall into China, they are afraid that they will be ridiculed.

Sun Sheng's learning of the five elements of yin and yang is not deep, but the application of the Abe family is more shallow, and it is easy to see the doorway at a glance.

Everyone had seen Sun Sheng's erudition many times, but even so, they were still shocked by his remarks for a long time.

Sun Sheng said again: "I'll try it first, and if it's okay, I'll pick you up." ”

Kojiro felt that it was inappropriate to let him take risks as a child, but he thought that he was very skilled in martial arts, resourceful, knowledgeable, and unequaled, so he handed him the 'Ghost Blade' and said, "You can hold this sword, if you encounter danger, you may be able to defend yourself." ”

Sun Sheng smiled, he had heard that this sword was very weird, and thanked him politely: "Thank you little brother for your kindness, you can keep this sword and protect the little sister." ”

He walked with steps, following the steps of the three Abe family members in the Forest of Blood Mist. The dense forest became narrower and narrower, like a wall without any gaps, and he walked according to his position, and every time he had no way to go, he felt that the willows were dark and bright, and the front was open again.

Sun Sheng exclaimed casually, jumped out according to the direction, and said to everyone: "It's done! I can take you in." ”

Everyone was baffled by him, and they didn't know why he was so happy. Although Sun Sheng saw the way, he was not sure that he would be able to come and go freely and unharmed.

He deliberately behaved very calmly, just because he didn't want everyone to worry about him, thinking in his heart, "I'll try it anyway, so as not to be blocked by this forest when I don't agree with the Abe family." ”

He tried it and succeeded, and he couldn't help his childlike nature, and he was elated.

Although everyone didn't know why, they all rejoiced with him when they saw his rare joy.

Kojiro, Yui, Qin Yao, and Ji Shizang followed Sun Sheng and walked into the dense forest at his pace.

Sun Sheng explained in advance that he must follow his footwork, and if he takes a wrong step, he will get lost.

Everyone followed cautiously, for fear that they would go badly, so although they walked a little slower, they finally walked out.

The three members of the Abe family were waiting for them at the exit early, and seeing that they had been keeping up for so long, Xiao Guixin said: "We left on our own just now, and we completely forgot about them." I don't know how they came here, whether we will blame us for neglecting them. ”

He saluted everyone and said, "If there is any miscare, I hope you don't blame it." ”

Everyone waved their hands, not caring about this, although out of the forest, there were still a lot of trees, but these trees were low, not as tall and towering as the 'Forest of Blood Mist'.

After walking for some time, I suddenly noticed that the surrounding trees were gradually decreasing, and the road was getting wider and wider, and a road paved with blue bricks led straight to the gate.

Looking at the gate, I suddenly felt a cold, the cold air on the gate, and one or two ghost screams flashed from time to time on the side of the body, which made people feel cold.

Further on, a faint blue fire lit up on both sides of the road, and the blue flames lit up one after another and floated in the air, like a ghost fire in a cemetery. Suddenly, the blue fire exploded, and there was a 'crackling' sound, and the flames turned from blue to green, which became even more eerie.

The deeper the crowd walked, the brighter the flames became, and Qin Yao had never lived anywhere when he was sleeping on the streets, and he had never suffered any hardships. Even if it was a mass grave in the wilderness, she would fall asleep as if nothing was there, but seeing this scene, Rao was very bold and couldn't help but be afraid.

"Childe, I have an ominous premonition, let's not be lucky on this trip. ”

Kojiro didn't have anything, and comforted softly: "Don't worry, if something really happens, let's run away, can't we hide if we can't afford to provoke?"

Sun Sheng asked about the evil luck behind his back, and he couldn't help but be frightened by the fact that his face was cold.

He counted several times in succession, but no matter how he calculated, it was a hexagram - the big murderer!

Sun Sheng pulled Kojiro and said in a low voice, "Little brother, I just calculated a few hexagrams. Although I am not proficient in my studies, I am quite accurate. We...... Let's be careful on this trip!"

He wanted to say that we would leave here, but considering that Kojiro had been poisoned for a long time, he couldn't delay it. Even if he has a strange body, he can survive half a year of poisoning. But at that time, the situation was unpredictable, and who dared to guarantee how long he would be able to hold out. There is a glimmer of life here that cannot be abandoned, even if Longtan Tiger's Den has to break into him.

How can Kojiro not know in his heart, he is very grateful for others to put themselves in his shoes everywhere, he is now completely lost, and his combat power is not enough, how can he boast of protecting the safety of everyone with the 'ghost blade' in his hand alone.

He retreated several times in his heart, not because he was afraid, but because he was worried about everyone's lives. It's just that everyone thinks about him, and he doesn't want to dismiss other people's wishes.

It is said that he used to study art and lived in the mountains for a long time, and he was both respectful and afraid of his master, and he was like a brother to his brother. Friends like this have never felt like each other, and they feel like brothers.

He thought about it, nodded lightly and said solemnly: "Don't worry, it will be safe." ”

Who would have thought that Kojiro would make up his mind in his heart and protect everyone even if he sacrificed his life!

The five of them walked forward, and Abe Koki said, "It's almost enchantment ahead, don't turn back, just go inside." ”

"Enchantment, what is an enchantment?" asked Jian Shizang curiously.

Reiko only had a slight affection for Kojiro, and was still as hostile to the other four as ever, and snorted coldly.

The big dog didn't answer when he didn't talk much, but the little turtle was talkative, and he was grateful in his heart for the kindness of Kojiro who gave him the Qingming spirit card, and replied: "This is an enchantment set up by Abe Harumi, the greatest onmyoji of my Abe family, specifically to prevent demons." After hundreds of years of ups and downs, the effect has not diminished in the slightest. ”

He said a single stroke, but his face showed an extremely respectful and proud look, obviously admiring the methods of his ancestors.

It is rare that an ordinary enchantment can last for more than a hundred years, and the Heian period in which Abe Harumi lived has been more than 500 years ago.

Not to mention the passage of time, it is a miracle that the immortal trees of the several divine trees that set up this enchantment have been immortal for five hundred years, not to mention that this enchantment has never diminished its effect from beginning to end.

Surprise and admiration filled everyone's hearts, and Yui pulled everyone to the side of a sacred tree and bowed, extremely religious.

The sacred wood was extremely thick, and a faded hemp rope was enclosed around it.

After everyone saluted, the hemp rope on the sacred tree was fierce, whirring, and slightly shiny, as if it was a salute to everyone.

In the distance, in the dense forest, a white fox with a half-transparent body also saluted everyone.
