Reiko Abe was carried by my grandson, and it didn't take long for her to come to a wooded area.

At this time, it is the late autumn season, everything is withering, and the birds are flying away, but the trees here are growing quite luxuriantly, and the chaotic growth of horizontal and vertical can't find a way.

I saw that the two of them were in the depths of this dense forest, their eyes were not low, their feet were not stopping, they were flipping and moving, as if they were walking on the ground, and they were moving very fast.

Reiko asked, "My grandson, why did our Abe family build in a dense forest, it's inconvenient to walk every day." ”

My grandson looked at her with pity, squinting and smiling.

"Our Abe family is a family of onmyoji, and we deal with monsters all day long. Monsters also have relatives and friends, if some monsters are caught by us, his relatives and friends come to seek revenge, we can use this forest to block them. ”

Reiko Abe nodded thoughtfully.

As the saying goes, there is no road in the world, and there is a road when there are more people walking, although there is no road in this dense forest, but how many people have walked back and forth throughout the ages have not stepped out of a road.

Reiko Abe walked deeper and deeper with my grandson, and gradually felt the cold air entering her body, and she couldn't help but shiver: "I've only been out for a while, why is it so cold." In the middle of winter, I don't see such cold to the bone. ”

Abe's grandson touched her head and said, "The head of the family has recently gained a lot of insight into the art of Shikami, and he has entered the realm very quickly, so this scene should be caused by the master of the family's practice." ”

"Father's strength is really incredible, Shi Shen cultivation can actually change the time of the heavens, has he learned any powerful moves?"

"I don't know, the head of the family is very talented. The elders of the inner gate all said that he was the most talented in a hundred years, and he was even comparable to Abe Harumi, the strongest onmyoji in the history of the Abe family. ”

Reiko Abe has never seen Abe's grandson do it, she only knows that my grandson is extremely powerful and has superb spells, and he is one of the highest combat power of the Abe family.

With his strength, he has never disobeyed his father, and he hasn't even gasped for the atmosphere, so thinking about his father's strength is so terrifying!

Reiko Abe was slapped by him, annoyed in her heart, and immediately teased: "My Lord Sun, your strength is obvious to everyone, I really didn't expect anyone in the Abe family to be better than you." If you compare yourself with your father, who is higher and who is lower?"

She wanted to hear Abe's grandson argue and then go home and complain to her father.

Who knew that when my grandson heard this, his expression immediately tightened, and he stopped and said solemnly: "How can I compete with the sun and the moon with the light of my candle flame?" Second Miss, don't bother me anymore. The head of the family is the object of the people of my generation in terms of strength, character, appearance, and knowledge, and I am a speck of dust in the soil compared to me. ”

These words entered Reiko Abe's ears, and her heart was indescribably happy. The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, his thin eyebrows were slightly curved, he was really as beautiful as a cold moon, and after a silver bell-like laugh, he looked at my grandson and said, "Then if you slap me, you are not afraid that I will tell my father?"

She wanted to use her father's majesty to suppress my grandson, but who knew that my grandson was not only not afraid but laughed, and the laughter resounded through the mountains and fields, which was very hearty.

But this laughter sounded like a ghost screaming to Reiko Abe, and she couldn't help but tremble with fright. To her, the laughter was chilling, a little colder than the bitter mountain wind.

My grandson didn't speak, but continued to walk with her, but I saw that the trees in front of me were getting fewer and wider, and two rows of blue firelight lit up one by one to lead to the gate, and the moonlight was bleak, pouring all over the ground, adding to the mysterious atmosphere.

There was a gatekeeper on each side of the door, and the faces of the two were handsome, and their faces were so white that they couldn't see a trace of blood.

The two of them saw my grandson and Lingzi from a distance, and with a spear in their hands, they said in a very stiff and cold tone: "Who is coming!"

Reiko Abe has been pampered since she was a child, how can anyone dare to talk to her like this, her eyebrows are horizontal, her hands are pinched and she scolds: "Don't you two have long eyes? I am your second miss, Abe's third daughter, even stop me? Don't die? Open the door for me!"

The two gatekeepers didn't look at her at all, and they still said in the same tone, "We only recognize the waist card, and we don't recognize anything else!"

Reiko Abe was about to attack in anger, but she was glared at by my grandson, and she fell down, not daring to make a sound.

This anger only flashed on my grandson's face, and then he put on that smiling expression again.

"Two, I'm Abe's housekeeper, Abe's grandson, and this is my waist card. The order of the two guards is a new order from the head of the family, and the second lady naturally doesn't know when she goes out, so this waist card is not on her body, please let the two of you report it. ”

The two took the waist plate and carefully examined it, and still said coldly: "Abe, my grandson can enter, this woman, no!!"

Reiko Abe was furious when she heard this, but because of my grandson's majesty, I had to suppress my anger and didn't dare to attack.

Then one of them said, "I will first go and tell the master of the house, and you two are waiting here." Then he pushed the door open, and the other man was still guarding the door with a spear crossed.

The more Reiko Abe thinks about it, the more angry she becomes, and she still uses a waist card when she enters her own home, how can there be such a reason in the world.

She couldn't suppress her anger any longer, and pointed at the man and scolded: "Where did you two bastards come from, and you dare to stop me with such a big name?

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, another slap was slapped in the face.

My grandson said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, this is the order of the head of the family, how can you question it?!"

The slap was so hard that Reiko Abe rolled in the air a few times before falling down, clutching her cheeks and sobbing secretly.

My grandson's slap was shown to the gatekeeper, but the gatekeeper seemed to see nothing, without the slightest expression on his face, looking into the void and looking ahead.

Reiko Abe sat on the ground and cried until the other person finished reporting, and the man raised his spear and said to Reiko, "The house commands that Miss Reiko can enter." With that, he turned sideways and opened the door, making way out of the way.

My grandson said, "Go!"

Reiko looked at him in a daze, her face was hot, she was afraid of Abe, my grandson, and she didn't dare to disobey him, and it was not a matter of not going here.

My grandson had run out of patience, picked her up with one hand and strode through the door.

After entering the door, I came to the front yard of Abe's house, which was very empty, and there were occasionally a few ghost masks placed on the porch.

In the middle of the courtyard, a man dressed in white stood with his hands in his hands, and the cold moonlight added a bit of coldness to his shiny silver hair.

The man's face is very beautiful, except for the pair of fox eyes that add a bit of bewitchment, he is more like a stunning woman, this person is Abe Xiaosan.

As soon as Reiko Abe saw him, she ran over crying and shouted, "Father, I miss my daughter to death." ”

Abe's junior retreats all day long, everything in Abe's house is controlled by my grandson, and Reiko rarely sees him, and the phrase 'I miss my daughter to death' is not a lie.

However, according to Reiko's character, how can my grandson slap her two times end there, she pretended to be pitiful, and there were seven points that she wanted to sue.

Abe Xiaosan gently wrapped his arms around Reiko and said softly, "Good daughter, do you miss your father?"

Reiko deliberately stretched out her cheek to her, "Father, my daughter misses you to death." During your retreat, my daughter has suffered a lot of grievances, and today she was almost killed and beaten. ”

Abe's eyes were like torches, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Reiko's swollen cheeks, and the two palm prints on his face crossed each other, both of which were of the same size and shape.

"Who bullied you?"

Reiko Abe's eyes rolled, and she took it to heart, and said more about the battle with Kojiro and others during the day.

She concealed all the evil things that the two men did to the old woman, and even said that Kojiro and the others provoked for no reason, and killed two people in a row.

Abe Xiaosan knew his daughter's temperament, and he didn't believe what she said, so he turned to my grandson and asked, "Is what Reiko said true?" ”

My grandson bowed to the ground, "It's true!"

"The wound on her face was also beaten by that group of people?"

"No, I slapped them in the face. ”

As soon as these words came out, even Reiko Abe was shocked.

She thought that my grandson would borrow the donkey back from the slope, push his two slaps on Kojiro and the others, and debunk them in person, so that Xiao San could punish him. Unexpectedly, he told the truth without any scruples.

Abe looked at my grandson calmly, and there was no anger on his face, but more gratitude.

"My grandson, it's hard for you. Reiko is negligent in discipline and coquettish, and she needs more mentions from you in the future. ”

My grandson bowed again and replied, "Second Miss is gifted and intelligent, and in time, she will definitely become a generation of great onmyoji." My previous slap was because the second lady only emphasized her power and not her skills, which insulted the reputation of the Abe family, so I taught a lesson. The other slap was the filth in the mouth of the second lady and scolded the two gatekeepers. ”

At first, Abe Xiaosan didn't pay much attention to Reiko's practice style of divine skills, but when he heard her scold the two gatekeepers, anger gradually appeared on his face, and he said, "Why do you scold those two people?"

Reiko knew that her father was extremely elegant, and she couldn't help but tremble when she saw the anger on his face, and thought to herself, "I don't know why my father blamed her for the two gatekeepers." ”

My grandson continued: "Those two disciples are extremely powerful monsters, and I was afraid that the second lady would anger them, so I took action. ”

Hearing that the two people guarding the gate were youkai, Reiko Abe was shocked again, and turned her head and asked, "Why are they youkai?" My Abe family has been enemies of youkai for generations, when did I join them? Father, are you mistaken?"

Abe's plan is very deep, and it is not clear that he will be able to explain it for a while, and he will not answer when he hears Reiko's question.

But my grandson thought very quickly, "The head of the family is wise and brave, and even the monsters are impressed by him." These two monsters were taken by the power of the head of the family and voluntarily came to my Abe's house as slaves. However, youkai are not different from humans, and I hope that the second lady will be more careful in the future. ”

Although this explanation is far-fetched, it is also reluctant to say the past, and Reiko will be skeptical, looking at her father, hoping that he can give an answer.

Xiao San was stunned for a moment, and then continued to follow my grandson's words: "What my Sun Jun said is good, those two monsters were impressed by my Abe family and volunteered to come here to guard the door. Reiko, you're tired too, hurry back to your room to rest. ”

Although Reiko Abe wanted to ask, but when she heard that his words were full of majesty, she didn't dare to say anything, and immediately bowed to the two of them and went back to the room.

After Reiko left, my grandson also said goodbye to Abe Xiaosan, but he was stopped by Xiaosan after walking a few steps, "You have never wanted to talk to me more, but you still hold a grudge against me?"

My grandson Ding didn't answer in place, his fat face lost a smile and his face leaked with sorrow, and after a long time, he sighed lightly and replied, "Yukiko is really a good person......"

"You're still complaining that I'm losing her?"

"No, I don't dare. ”

I didn't dare to express his sadness for many years, when he was a teenager, he and Xiao San were both in the limelight of the Abe family, and the two fell in love with a woman at the same time, a woman with stunning talents and picturesque eyebrows.

Merely...... She only had Abe Kosan in her eyes, and she never looked at him more.

On the day of his wedding, he was drunk and cried, just to soothe his thoughts.

He thought that the days would pass like this, until she gave birth to a son and a daughter and was abandoned by Abe Xiaosan and committed suicide in anger.

Her sad eyes were vivid that day, and the blood was red, just like the flowers on the other side of the Yellow Spring.

How many past events appeared in front of Xiao San's eyes, he wanted to defend something but couldn't say it, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "I...... I'm not for myself, but for the Abe family. ”

"I know, I know. ”

"You know I'm for the Abe family, why don't you persuade her?!"

"What's the use of me telling her, her heart is dead, on the night you married Meiki. ”

"I owe her so much that I can't make up for it. It's good to have you, so it won't be so painful when she leaves......"

He paused for a while and said: "Lingzi is very much like his mother, I didn't dare to look at her since I was a child, it was you who were extremely strict with her and taught her to be a man, I don't know how to repay this kindness." ”

"But I never taught her well, because I wasn't her father. ”

These words poked at Abe's sore point, he didn't know that Reiko's lack of fatherly love made her so delicate.

He not only lost Yukiko, but also their daughter! When he heard this, he beat himself in the chest and was in great pain.

After a long time, Xiao San settled down and said: "There is no need to mention the old things, after all these years, you didn't even ask me why I took refuge in the Tokugawa family behind my back?"

"Don't ask, you're thinking about the Abe family. ”

"Thank you, but there's something I need to ask you for. ”

After saying all this, Abe's grandson looked back and saw that his handsome face was tired, and it looked even more miserable when he was illuminated by the moonlight.

"What do you and I need between you and me? ”

"Well, you also know that although the Abe family is a famous family, it is not a family. If you want the Abe family to compete in the world, the only way to become a retainer by Toyotomi Hideyoshi's side is to become a heavy minister. Only in this way will I have a chance to gain great power and unify the world!"

"So...... You went to Tokugawa Ieyasu behind your back to deal with Toyotomi Hideyoshi. ”

Abe smiled slyly and replied, "Not bad." And Miki is from the Tokugawa family, so I don't want to tell you about it. ”

"Yes, it's not just me in the Abe family, and many people know about it. But...... The reason why you abandoned Yukiko was to become an in-law with Tokugawa Ieyasu, and you intended to conspire to destroy the Toyotomi family?!!"

"Yes, Nobunaga was still alive at that time, but my Abe family's divination skills are unparalleled in the world, and I have already calculated that Toyotomi Hideyoshi will take his place, and this move has already been planned. ”

My grandson is thoughtful, and he has already found the flaw in Abe's words.

"You are too underestimated with me, can you deceive others with these words, can you deceive me? Since you know divination, why don't you directly marry the Toyotomi family? Around this big circle, do you think I am old and dizzy, and I don't know what is right and wrong?!"

Abe Xiaosan shook his head helplessly and said: "I said it, there is only one way to become a major minister by Hideyoshi's side, and the rest are dead ends." And why have I deceived you, and what good will it do me?"

My grandson has always known that he will do anything for the sake of the Abe family, so he weighed it in his heart and said, "Okay, I believe you, no matter what you do, it is for the Abe family." What do you have to command? ”

Xiao San was very hesitant, he knew that he couldn't say this, but there was no one else who could be trusted enough to do this except Abe and my grandson, and after thinking about it, he finally said, "I need to be the liaison between me and Ibaraki Boy." ”

"What!?? you actually colluded with the Ibaraki boy, don't you know what kind of monster he is?!!

When my grandson heard him talk about the Ibaraki boy, he trembled with fright, and after shaking his body a few times, he said, "Are you going to destroy the Abe family?"

The Ibaraki boy is a great demon of Toei Japan, and his combat power is extraordinary. He is the lord of the ghosts, the leader of the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk, and the number one general under the Drinking Boy Seat.

Since the murder of the drunk-swallowing boy, he has re-led the hundred ghosts on a night-time walk, looking for a way to reshape the drunk-swallowing boy's body.

The Abe family has been an enemy of Hyakki Nights since the Heian period, and the two sides have hated each other for generations, and now they want to join forces, even if Abe's grandson is extremely serious, he is also frightened.

Abe Xiaosan saw his horror and comforted him: "Time has changed, and everything has passed before. Ibaraki Boy won't do anything to my Abe family, and besides, I promised him a condition. ”

"On what terms?"

"I promised him to help him reshape the body of the drunken boy. ”

This is a very plain statement, but it sounds more terrifying to my grandson than a thousand thunderbolts at the same time.

"Don't you know that it takes thousands of beings to reshape the body of the drunken boy?

"Those who achieve great things are not informal. Japan is so war-torn that it starves to death every year? I just let them suffer less in the world. ”

These words came from the mouth of Abe Xiaosan, as if he was talking about the shortcomings of the family, and my grandson felt cold when he heard it.

He has never disobeyed Xiao San's orders in his life, but he can't follow this matter no matter what, and he refuses in his heart: "I can't do this, the head of the family should ask for another master." ”

Xiao San continued: "But no one can do this except you, only you and I can trust, and only you have the ability to save your life." ”

"Whether this matter is successful or not will drag the Abe family into the abyss, and I will never agree. I will do everything else to you except this one!"

My grandson's tone was extremely resolute, and Abe knew that he had made up his mind, and it would be useless to persecute him again, so he immediately retreated and said, "In that case, you can help me do another thing." ”

"What's the matter?"

"There is still a lack of medicine to reshape the body of a drunken boy, and it requires a person's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys. This person's five internal organs are extremely difficult to remove, and only you can do it in the entire Abe family. ”

"Who is this man?"

"'The Ghost of Momoyama in Azuchi', Kojiro Sasaki. ”
