traveler of time and space

A large part of Fusang culture comes from China, but Shintoism is dominant here. Shintoism belongs to the panspiritual polytheistic belief. The core idea of ​​the gods is "everything in the world". There are 800 million gods, and it is conceivable how many mountain spirits and ghosts are mixed among them.

The status of many gods here is actually similar to that of monsters, and some big monsters even have their own shrines in the mortal world.

Su Ziyu is still not sure about the specific situation in this world.

But judging from everything seen in Ghost Kyoto, big monsters like Qingxingdeng have their own territory, so the other big monsters should be in the same situation.

It is said to be a gate of hell, but it is actually just a crack in space.

Immediately after Su Ziyu passed through, he saw a ray of sunlight that had just risen in the distance, and the space crack behind him had disappeared directly. He was located near a bamboo forest in the suburbs. Next to the stele stands a small god with a ferocious head in human clothes and holding a seal. It should be similar to Fusang Land Lord.

The surrounding area is a bit desolate, and there are no traces of living people.

Su Ziyu walked out along the bamboo forest for a while, and soon saw a small village, which looked like dozens of families. At this time, some farmers and women were playing with some tributes. Something was burning there, and after they finished burning, they took the children who were playing next to them and began to bow down to a clay statue, looking very, very devout.

Take a closer look.

Su Ziyu found that the clay statue looked like a civet cat in the shape of a human, and the body part was carved extremely large. Although the statue looked rough, it looked a little lifelike.

What they are worshiping is the road god, the wild god.

This is mainly the object of folk Shinto sacrifices, and many wild gods are folk mountain spirits and monsters.

Su Ziyu vaguely heard their prayers, which seemed to be related to an epidemic. These farmers seemed to be quite wary of foreigners. After seeing Su Ziyu, they quickly put away their tribute and started Clean up things for sacrifices.

Perception detects a hint of spirituality.

When Su Ziyu turned around and looked at a small forest in the distance, he saw a black shadow flashing across the treetops. The figure was as agile as a cheetah, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Are there so many monsters?" Su Ziyu frowned slightly.

He walked towards the panicked farmers and asked casually, "How to get to Kyoto?"

"Go straight along this road for half a day and you will arrive." The leader of the farmer looked a little frightened. The clothes Su Ziyu was wearing were prepared by elves. They looked a bit out of place with this era, but they were extremely exquisite and luxurious. It's like dressing up like a prince and aristocrat.

Su Ziyu nodded and turned to leave, throwing a silver coin over before leaving.

There was no one along the way.

He did see some sundries left after the roadside sacrifices. It seems that many sacrifices to wild gods have been carried out recently.

Su Ziyu traveled very fast.

When the sun rose, a bustling ancient city appeared in his sight, and there seemed to be a lake in the distance, which should be Lake Biwa.

The shape and layout of this ancient city imitated Chang'an and Luoyang, the capitals of the Tang Dynasty in China, especially the imitation of Chang'an City.Su Ziyu took a look at it last night, and the general layout is exactly the same as in Ghost Kyoto, except that there are many living people during the day, and you can see the bustling flow of people.

Su Ziyu changed his attire slightly, and then stepped into the city.

There's a lot of people here.

Su Ziyu can see many people dressed as samurai, but they are not as flooded as during the Fusang Warring States Period. The clover emblem that Ms. Enid gave him was shaken several times along the way, which means that in Kyoto during the day, there are still some The monsters are moving, but even Su Ziyu can't tell them apart.

People's expressions were slightly panicked.

Most of the things they discussed were related to "Rashomon", because not long ago, the Rashomon at the southern end of Suzaku Road in Kyoto collapsed, and then some strange things began to occur in various places in Kyoto, and other places also appeared one after another. Some weird rumours.

Besides, what Su Ziyu heard most was about Ampere Seimei.

Ampere Seimei seems to be a man of the day in this place. Last year, he just accepted the order of the Fuso imperial family to go to Mount Nachi to hold the ceremony of sealing the tengu.

It's 980 now.

Not long ago, the Rashomon Gate in Kyoto collapsed. Everyone thought it was an ominous omen. Many people thought that Seimei Ampere needed to come out to solve the trouble at this time.Because this guy is the most famous onmyoji in the current era, and he is highly valued by the Fuso royal family. It is said that he has the ability to drive shikigami, and can do many things that ordinary people cannot do.

"Onmyoji? Interesting!" The figure of Su Ziyu walked through the streets and alleys, and found a random hotel to stay.

The north of Kyoto is the residence of princes and nobles, and the south is gradually deserted. The place where Su Ziyu stayed last night was a mansion in the north. He originally planned to go there to see who lived there during the day, but after hearing about Ampere After Qingming's news, he really wanted to meet this Onmyoji.

Fusang in the Heian era is a bit like the late Jin Dynasty in China. On the surface, singing and dancing were peaceful, and the princes and nobles were luxurious and lustful, but in fact the life of the common people at the bottom was extremely difficult.

The theory of ghosts is very common among low-level civilians.

Su Ziyu just sat in the hotel for a while, and heard two businessmen discussing about ghosts, talking about a mountain ghost that caused disasters near the southern river, and the businessman on the right said that he had seen the mountain ghost with his own eyes. Swallowing a living person, he said it in a decent way, and described the appearance of the mountain ghost in all odds and eighty-eight.

"The era when demons danced wildly?" Su Ziyu stood up and walked outside the hotel.

He was going to see the so-called Rashomon.

The area of ​​the entire Kyoto is about [-] square kilometers, which is not very large, but the population is quite dense. The so-called Rashomon Gate in the mouth of the aborigines is actually the Rashomon Gate. It collapsed suddenly one night. It is said that someone That night, I heard the howling of hundreds of ghosts. According to legend, it is the place where Kyoto connects to hell and the underworld.

"Is it here?" Su Ziyu frowned and looked around.

very quiet.

There are not even pedestrians around here, and it seems that ordinary people will deliberately avoid this area.

There are a lot of rubble where the Rashomon collapsed. Su Ziyu noticed some abnormal fluctuations just when he got close to it. He found that there were many places where the talisman of the Onmyoji was pasted, and there seemed to be traces of formations on the ground. .

None of the ghosts and ghosts were seen.

Su Ziyu just feels that this place is a little bit cold, and the wind that blows over seems to carry a bit of chill.

"Who?" came a low voice.

soon.

A man dressed as an onmyoji appeared in front of Su Ziyu. He was about [-] years old and looked quite handsome. He was wearing a very traditional onmyoji suit, holding a folding fan in his hand and wearing it around his waist. Wearing a jade pendant with a yin and yang fish.

Ampere Seimei?

wrong.

This Onmyoji is a little weak!

"Get out of here quickly!" The onmyoji in front of him said rather bluntly: "It's forbidden to pass here. Go quickly."

"If you don't leave again, don't blame me for being rude!"

It seems that we have to pass his test to see what Rashomon is like.

Su Ziyu glanced at the other party, raised his foot and kicked a stone flying, and the stone flew out like a bullet, directly hitting the head of the onmyoji in front of him.

boom!

The face of the onmyoji in front of him changed drastically instantly, he quickly took out a piece of talisman paper, quickly sealed and shouted: "Shou!"

An invisible energy barrier opened.
