As the initiator, Tomie was in a state of flux after the meeting.

He is needed to explain to Emperor Murakami, he is needed for the survival of the magician organization, and he is needed for the research on the weapons of the Onmyoji...

By the way, the name Oni was given by Emperor Murakami.

When he was listening to the report, he kept hearing about "monster" and "monster". He felt it was very inconvenient, so he gave them the nickname ghost.

Due to manpower issues, no large-scale searches have been carried out to deal with ghosts, but the recent harvest festival has encouraged every household to plant wisteria flowers.

The wisteria tree is a plant with strong survivability. It can survive by cutting off its branches and inserting them into the soil. It is a plant that does not require too much care, so it has happened that every household in Kyoto is planting wisteria flowers.

During the rest of the time, Tomie was still studying spells. Kamo Ga-ryu and Sugawara Michizane were much more concerned about this matter than him. He had two more teachers at the same time.

And after discussion, the two people refused to educate Hyakki Zarang for him, saying sternly that they were his students and should be taught by him.

As one of the most powerful psychics in Heian Kyo, if it is later revealed that Tomie can also cast spells, the celebrity effect alone will bring a lot of convenience to the spell casters, so it is not difficult to guess the purpose of these two people.

Thanks to these two people, Tomie can now take the time to teach Hyakkizarang only the things he has been tortured since childhood, such as tea ceremony, incense ceremony, bow ceremony, etiquette, literature, musical instruments and so on.

Rather than saying that he is cultivating psychics, it is more reliable to say that he is educating nobles.

Fortunately, Yuan Boya did not have this problem, and helped him a little bit in the physical education of the children in the dojo. Tomie wanted to take care of all the other things such as tea ceremony, but he was also taught by Yuan Boya anyway, but he was rejected.

Yuan Boya's original words: "You raise your apprentice or I raise your apprentice."

Fu Jiang had no choice but to give up.

Kyoto originally thought that Tomie's oracle would not cause problems soon.

Back then, it was a special case for him to come down to Fujiang and look for someone in his dreams every day. Under normal circumstances, it was normal for the prophecies made by gods to come true only after more than ten years.

Kyoto is only slowly accumulating strength as planned.

But this year's winter snow came more violently than expected, and even Ryukyu, known as Neon Hawaii in later generations, was covered in heavy snow.

The entire coast of coastal cities is covered with several meters of ice, making it impossible to fish on the ice, let alone go out to sea. The country is facing a situation of losing its main meat.

Reports of wind and snow disasters came from many places at the same time. Almost every day, people died everywhere.

It's okay in Kyoto. The snow in Kyoto is very small, and it's the kind that melts when it hits the ground. But it hasn't stopped since the first snowfall half a month ago until now.

The sky was also very dark. It should be noon, but the sky was already the same as the period just after dusk in summer.

Outside Kyoto, the wind and snow never stop, and the amount of snow is still very huge. It only takes half a day to cover a child like Hyakki Zao completely.

With such a heavy snowstorm, we can no longer do normal work. We can only cuddle up at home and burn charcoal for warmth. The demand has increased, the supply has decreased, and the sales price of firewood and charcoal has reached a very scary level.

Kyoto is the imperial city, and its material reserves are the largest in the country, but the nobles in the imperial city will not seize the resources in their hands and disperse them so easily.

As soon as the treasury was opened, it was already seized by nobles and officials, leaving only a pitiful amount that could be distributed to common people. Slaves, who were considered a lower class than common people, could only rely on themselves.

Except for Kyoto, the places with less snowfall now only have shrines and temples in various places.

Most shrines are on mountains. No matter whether they are on the mountainside or in the mountains, as long as they are within the coverage of shrines and temples, the wind and snow will be much smaller.

In order to escape the wind and snow, many people have flocked to local shrines and temples to pray for refuge.

As soon as this situation was discovered, vague rumors of divine punishment and annihilation spread wildly among the people.

Such a disaster no longer requires too much confirmation from insiders. It is a prophecy sent by the gods in advance.

Therefore, the psychics in Kyoto once again sat together for a meeting.

It still has the same composition as last time, and the sponsor is still Tomie. The difference is that Seimei finally sat here himself.

In the dull atmosphere, Tomi Jiang was the first to speak: "This snow must be stopped no matter what."

If it continues, everyone can predict how serious the mortality rate will be.

Everyone looked at Fu Jiang.

"Gentlemen, if you can't do anything on your own, just use all your strength." Fu Jiang also looked at them calmly.

His meaning is very simple. Now it is not certain whether the continuous heavy snow is man-made. Even if it is not, it will have to be stopped by using magical means. Onmyoji alone does not have this ability, Shintoism alone does not have this ability, and the conjurer alone must not have this ability. If not, then everyone should come up with a solution together.

Before they could express their opinions, Tomie added: "Also, does anyone know the news about sea monsters attacking people in coastal cities?"

A few days ago, intelligence was sent back that a black sea monster came ashore and ate all the humans and livestock it saw.

Kamo Yasunori nodded: "The nearby Yin Yang Lao has been jointly handled by the local army."

The conjurer didn't say anything. The conflict with the monsters was not within their jurisdiction. The local conjurer would go to help, but it would not be the organized behavior of the conjurer.

"Did something other than intelligence happen?" Qingming asked.

This situation is generally regarded as a conflict between monsters and humans, and it mainly falls under the jurisdiction of Onnyangliao. There is no other reason why Tomie, as a priest, will not specifically mention this matter.

Tomie nodded and asked, "Do you know about those dark sea monsters that come ashore and attack and eat other monsters at the same time?"

Kamo Yasunori's eyes widened in shock. The theory is that the monsters belong to the same species, and cannibalism is a big problem. If they are deliberately accumulating power, then the monsters that emerge in the end will definitely be of a very scary level.

"Just like the ghosts in the past can be transformed through blood, the dark monsters seem to be transformed too. After transformation, they lose all their original personalities. Before they die completely, they will be dominated by the desire for destruction. Whether they are humans or monsters, they will attack as long as they are in sight. Destruction." Tomi Jiang spoke in a heavy voice about the information he had now obtained.

Qingming asked him: "Did your friends tell you that?"

Fu Jiang nodded.

Qingming's expression also became serious.

Through the news delivered by Hoshikama Doji to Tomie, the dark monsters are not only sea monsters, but also gradually found among monsters on land.

It's not because they have complaints or dissatisfaction with their companions. It's because they are completely irrational and only have bloodlust and destruction. I don't know why this happens.

One time in a restaurant on Zi Midnight Road, two monsters were sitting together eating. A black spot suddenly appeared on one of the monsters. Then it seemed like ink dripped into the clear water and spread rapidly. Even the whites of its eyes were covered in black in full view of everyone. Complete the invasion to complete the transformation, and kill them all in the midnight road.

This phenomenon first began to appear in coastal cities and among the first monsters to confront the black sea monster.

For example, monster organizations close to the coast like the Shikoku Tanuki Eighty-eight Division suffered serious losses. Now there are only thirty-two divisions left after integration. Miss Chiharu is lucky. Although she is seriously injured, she is still alive.

What caused this situation is not yet certain, but it is indeed very contagious like an infectious disease. Now the Midnight Road is officially closed to avoid causing panic or becoming a source of infection.

At present, this situation mainly occurs in coastal cities, but Hoshikuma Doji speculates that those dark monsters have the intention of advancing towards Kyoto, and they are just encircling all coastal cities to form an encirclement before launching an action.

Because most of the land monsters have not been officially touched or harmed, other monsters are treated as infectious diseases for the time being and a no-contact and no-infection policy is adopted. Even many monster kings are just watching the fun, watching the excitement of civet cats and sea monsters. It’s nothing. A sense of urgency.

Hoshikuma Doji was outside this range. He recalled Shuten Doji, who had completely become a hands-off shopkeeper, and Ibaraki Doji naturally came with him.

Although Shuten-Douji's strength has been declining since his resurrection, he and Ibaraki-Douji have still maintained their demon king-level and quasi-demon king-level strength. With them in Oeyama, there is no need to worry too much for the time being.

"It sounds very serious." Kamo Yasunori nodded in agreement, maintaining the character he should have as a Yin Yang head as always, "I will notify the local Yin Yang dormitory and study the cause as soon as possible."

Tomie glanced at him and realized that he might have regarded this as a normal monster incident.

So he directly asked the person among them who was most likely to understand the seriousness of this problem: "If you get a weapon that can make the soldiers in your hands no longer tired, no pain, and they will keep fighting as long as they don't die. method, what would you do?”

Minamoto Yorimitsu was startled, and the expression on his face became much more serious, "I will continue to transform the soldiers until the number can be crushed and then quickly launch an attack, and gain more territory through war."

The scene was eerily silent.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu asked Tomie: "Do you mean, is it really possible that this is a signal for an all-out war between monsters and humans?"

Tomie quoted the exact words of Hoshikuma Doji: "In such a wind and snow, not only humans, but monsters are also in shortage of supplies. The sudden appearance of dark monsters will only worsen the already bad relationship between monsters and humans. With the intensification of the situation, when the monsters have no food at all, they will attack humans sooner or later under the threat of survival brought by the dark monsters. When humans can't bear it anymore, they will start to fight back. The black monsters who caused everything will just sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers. No matter who loses, he will become a black monster. The new power is the real darkness, treating everything equally and preparing to destroy the world."

Everyone was silent. This conjecture was not impossible, but just thinking about it was very disturbing. The most terrifying thing was that even if they knew it now, they had no way to avoid it.

"What should we do now?" Kensuo's voice was very soft, but in such an environment everyone could hear it clearly.

Fu Jiang said: "First of all, let the wind and snow stop."

Most people nodded together, but did not wait for Fujiang's next words.

Kamo Garu asked him: "Then what?"

Fu Jiang spread his hands and said, "I don't know."

He is just a priest, and he should not be entrusted with matters such as the commander of the survival of mankind. It is not that there is no way, but he cannot continue to talk about it for the time being.

Qingming looked at him and rarely came out to smooth things over: "The information provided by Tomie is just a speculation at the moment. We, the onmyoji and the magicians, will work together to study whether this situation can infect humans. Or maybe there is something in him." What a weakness, but the snow really can’t fall anymore, so the three parties will each send people to check or research new techniques, and strive to solve this heavy snow in the shortest possible time."

"Yeah." Fu Jiang nodded repeatedly.

"I will arrange manpower to increase surveillance to prevent the monsters from getting out of control." Minamoto Yorimitsu also proposed what he can do now.

"Yeah." Fu Jiang nodded.

"Then I will study the barrier and promote it next, as a guarantee before the wind and snow stops." Tian Yuan also put forward his own expertise.

After they each arranged and received what they could do to their best, the meeting officially ended.

Kamo Ga-ryu also wanted to discuss some matters with the magicians. Tomie did not arrange an oxcart in such a cold weather. He refused to send Minamoto Boya away and was about to walk back. When he had not gone far alone, a paper umbrella blocked him. Bits of snow overhead.

The one holding the umbrella was Hoshikuma Doji, who finally changed into a thick fur collared outfit in such a windy and snowy environment.

"How is it?" Star Bear Boy asked him.

Fu Jiang stood side by side with him, wearing a slightly proud smile, "Everything is going according to plan."

After Hoshikama Doji discovered the situation of the dark monsters, he and Tomie analyzed the true direction of the oracle. At that time, he realized that the darkness in the oracle was aimed at both humans and monsters, and its ultimate goal was indeed to destroy In this world, we must gather all our strength to protect ourselves.

But the unfortunate thing is that the grudges between humans and monsters are too deep, and it is impossible to join forces until they are in a real life-or-death situation.

Hoshikuma Doji made a plan quickly and resolutely. He went around provoking (motivating) and letting some stubborn monsters act as vanguards to test the darkness. He took the opportunity to clear out the group of monsters who were destined to be disobedient and aggressive in the future. Say it again.

What a touching monster love.

Tomie needs to make humans pay attention to the issue of dark monsters, and realize their own powerlessness by observing the battles between monsters and them.

That way, in times of existential crisis, the original grievances, no matter how fierce, can be temporarily put aside.

What needs to be done now is to retain the strength to the greatest extent, and it is best to have the strength to be obedient.

But the crux of the matter is that cooperation is inevitable, but it cannot be proposed prematurely.

And Hoshikuma Doji is very insistent that the ultimate goal of cooperation must not be said from Tomie's mouth.
