Because Tomie summoned the true god and performed miracles in front of people, the incense in major shrines was extremely prosperous for a while, among which Kifune Shrine and Inari Shrine, where the enshrined gods were apparently enlivened, were the most popular.

The steps up the mountain at Matsuo Shrine, where Miko currently lives, were almost trampled on.

What ordinary people saw was that the gods suddenly appeared, but what the nobles saw was that the gods suddenly appeared because of the Son of God.

The Son of God has only participated in the festival twice since he came into the world. Both times, gods came to the world for him, which is enough to show how much the gods value this beloved son who was put into the world.

Smart people naturally know that it is not as fast to please a cold statue as to please a living Son of God.

Moreover, the appearance of the Son of God that day was really more outstanding than that of all the princesses known in the city. With such a beautiful appearance, few nobles who pride themselves on elegance could not be tempted.

The nobles in Kyoto have received a samurai education to some extent, and everyone is not completely ignorant of such things as Taoism.

Moreover, in Neon, neither priests nor monks are restricted from marrying and having children, but there is a requirement for witches to remain pure during their tenure.

Therefore, the number of people coming to see the Son of God increased sharply.

But Tomie is still hampered by the task of protecting Emperor Suzaku after nightfall, so he doesn't go back to the shrine very much. The group of people started hanging out outside the Peace Palace. They would also drive a carriage and wait outside the Peace Palace at night, waiting for him to leave the palace. Of course, most of the time, what you see is just a tightly covered oxcart that is completely airtight.

Under this situation, Tomie didn't even care about going back to the shrine. Just kidding, "Yona" has become a popular trend in the Heian era. It's better to hope that the shrine can stop those nobles who think highly of themselves and are full of pornographic waste. The guard situation of Yuan Boya's house.

Even Kamo Ga-ryu joked with him: "If this continues, my obsession with you may form a new curse spirit."

Fu Jiang glared at him, picked up Yuan Boya's teapot and poured himself a cup.

"It is said that many noble ladies went to watch the ceremony that day, and now most of them are asking if you are married." Yuan Boya also laughed and teased him.

Tomi Jiang looked at him with dead eyes through his mask with no expression on his face.

Yuan Boya didn't care at all and said with a smile: "Now many of my aunts and cousins ​​are working hard to be elected as the next Saio. If you say that there is no influence from you, I don't believe it."

Saio refers to the unmarried princes and queens selected by the royal family to serve as shrine maidens at Ise Jingu Shrine and Kamo Betsu Raijin Shrine. They serve Amaterasu on behalf of the Japanese royal family, and are collectively called "Saio".

In Neon, princess does not mean the daughter of the emperor, but may refer to a beautiful woman or a woman of noble birth, that is, "Ji". The word "ji" is also used when treating wives and concubines.

The inner king and queen are the daughters and granddaughters of the emperor.

Minamoto Boya is the royal grandson with the purest blood, and his aunt and cousin are naturally of the royal blood with the purest blood, so they have the qualification to compete for the title of "Zhaio".

"Then please help me tell them that Saio is not allowed to have relations with men during his tenure." Tomie's voice was very calm, "Besides, Saio will serve at Kamo Betsurai Shrine, and I have already left there. After graduation, even if I return to work there in the future, it will probably be decades later."

As for the other Ise Shrine, it is not in Kyoto. It is hard to say whether Tomie will have the opportunity to serve.

Yuan Boya spread his hands and said, "Farewell, if I really tell you, they will tear me apart. Not only them, but now there are a lot of people accompanying me when I go out to court."

Who in the entire Kyoto aristocratic circle doesn't know that Minamoto Boya has a good relationship with Shenzi. When Shenzi first arrived in Kyoto, he went to the shrine to teach Shenzi archery, chess, and etiquette. In addition, Tomie moved into his house. During this time, Minamoto Boya would like to post. A lot of them were collected.

The most outrageous thing is that the houses around Yuan Boya suddenly became in short supply, and people moved into the idle houses overnight. From time to time, you can still hear the servants discussing which adult went to which adult to ask for a house.

If nothing unexpected happened, Fu Jiang boldly guessed that all of this was probably for him.

After hearing this, Qingming smiled at Tomie and said, "If you want to settle down in Kyoto in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to buy a house."

Fu Jiang sighed, "Originally, I was not prepared to be neighbors with Boya."

Yuan Boya lives on an avenue, which is the street closest to the Peace Palace, and cannot afford it.

"If you can, try not to be my neighbor." Qingming smiled beautifully, but what he said was very sad. "I don't want to suddenly have too many neighbors besides you. I am very willing to deal with you and your friends, but those adults are really..."

Tomie sighed. The environment on Tsuchimikado Avenue where Seimei lived was not bad, but the terrain in Kyoto was not that good, so the price was quite suitable. At least Tomie could buy it if he received a salary of three to five years and received some private goods.

But if Tomie really wants to buy a house, he will definitely choose one with only his own family nearby. He is really afraid of dealing with these nobles in Kyoto.

People are so addicted to food that even gods and ghosts cannot suppress their lust.

Thinking of this, Tomie suddenly thought: "If I want to buy one, I might buy a haunted house. It's a house in Kyoto that's so scary that no one dares to live there. Is it best if there's a ghost like Miss Kayako inside?"

"Who is Kayako?" Qingming accurately captured the name of the famous female ghost.

Tomie thought, and then explained: "Miss Kayako was brutally tortured to death by her husband in her own home, and then she turned into a ghost and stayed in the house. From then on, no matter who walked into her house, they would be cursed, no matter where they escaped. She will definitely chase her down somewhere and bring her back to the house to kill a woman.”

Yuan Boya stared at Fu Jiang in shock.

"Oh~ so powerful?" Qingming also became interested.

Tomi Jiang thought about it carefully, especially the scene when she saw Kayako climbing into the quilt and dragging people away when she was a child. She nodded very seriously, "It was so cruel. Even if a group of people entered her house, she would kill them one by one. Caught back."

"This can be considered a cursed spirit." Kamoga-ryu joined the discussion team.

Tomie carefully recalled the appearance of Kayako he saw in the movie, and disagreed with Kamo Ga-ryu's point of view, "She still basically maintains a human form, and she obviously has her own consciousness, unlike the cursed spirits who have no self at all." consciousness.”

Kamo Ga-ryu has a habit of arguing over issues related to spells. "The cursed spirits are also self-aware, and judging from the current statistics, there are also intelligent cursed spirits. Maybe they will become smarter and smarter in the future, until they have the same thinking ability as humans."

"Isn't the key point where such a dangerous ghost is? Has it been solved?" Yuan Boya interrupted their conversation and looked at Fu Jiang with horror on his face.

Tomi Jiang saw Yuan Boya who seemed to be really frightened, and reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay Boya, there are prerequisites for Miss Kayako to kill. She is trapped in her house forever, and no one knows Wherever her house is, she can’t get there.”

Qingming responded with a smile: "According to you, this one is a bit like a ghost story."

Tomie deliberately avoided Kayako, but because of the mention of this topic, he became curious about the haunted houses in Kyoto, "Apart from the haunted house in Kyoto of the one whose family was wiped out overnight by earth spiders three years ago, are there any other haunted houses in Kyoto? "

Yuan Boya also thought seriously, then shook his head. "In recent years, that's probably the only haunted house that people dare not approach when it comes to it."

Fujiang felt a little disappointed.

If he were to live in that house, first of all, it would be too big and would be inconvenient to clean. Moreover, as someone who had entered the house that night, he knew very well what a miserable state the house was in. The thought of a spider staying there made him feel uncomfortable all over, which he really couldn't accept.

He is the Son of God anyway, no matter how vicious and evil he is, he cannot withstand the divine fire.

The problem is that he has seen that house crawling with spiders. This kind of thing has a psychological shadow. After he moves in, what should he do when he gets up in the middle of the night and remembers that the house is crawling with spiders?

Therefore, Fu Jiang's only requirement for the haunted house he purchased was that he could listen to the legend of the haunted house, but he could not witness with his own eyes how the house turned into a haunted house.

Qingming said next to him: "If you don't talk about recent years, there was a haunted house in Kyoto earlier. It has been deserted for more than ten years, and no one dares to live in it now."

Everyone looked at him together.

Qingming asked Tomie: "Have you ever heard of the house on Wujo Avenue?"

Fu Jiang shook his head, how had he heard of this? He was not familiar with anything in Kyoto.

"What are you talking about?" Yuan Boya obviously knew what he was referring to, and looked at Qingming in surprise.

Qingming nodded, pointed the fan in his hand to the sky, and then slammed it on his palm. "That's the house."

Yuan Boya shook his head and denied Qingming's idea. "That won't work. It's too ridiculous. If you live in it, something might really happen."

Fu Jiang got angry and looked at these two people with stars in his eyes. "Let's talk about it."

If it was a really noisy house, it would definitely be very cheap.

Fujiang really wants to buy a house in Ping'an Jingli.

After getting an official position, he had to go to the capital to live for a period of time from time to time, inspecting the four directions of the shrine on behalf of the shrine, and clearing and purifying the turbid air in Heian Kyoto.

It’s impossible to stay at Yuan Boya’s house every time you come, right? You can’t always stay in a hotel or something like that.

When the dignified son of God came to Kyoto to do business, he either stayed in a friend's house or stayed in a hotel. It was quite embarrassing to tell anyone about these things.

Disgrace the shrine.

Originally, according to the intention of the shrines, since incense has been booming recently, each major shrine will contribute part of the incense money to buy a house in Kyoto for the Son of God.

But after all, it's not his own money. If he accepted money from the shrine to buy a house, Tomie would always feel very passive.

Yuan Boya shook his head, obviously not wanting to tell him.

So Fujiang set his sights on Qingming.

Qingming looked at him with a half-smile, as if she was waiting for him to beg her.

Fu Jiang understood immediately and stretched out his hand to tug on his wide sleeves.

"Why don't I invite you to eat roasted bird skewers? If not, you can also eat oden. You know, that boss is particularly confident in fried food. I also heard that a group of business bosses from the seaside are coming together. Try grilled squid."

Tomi Jiang was talking about Zi Midnight Road, the place where they met.

Qingming shook his head. This didn't attract him, so he would go if he wanted to.

Fu Jiang looked at his eyes and suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "If you tell me the origin of that house and what the specific story is, when I go to buy that house, I will invite you to come over and be my guest."

People like Qingming don't pay attention to their wealth and reputation. Instead, they are very interested in some weird things and have a slightly evil personality. He was able to mention the haunted house specifically because he was most likely interested in it and wanted to date someone.

Qingming asked him: "Do you know about the lightning incident in Qingliang Palace?"

Fu Jiang nodded.

The thunder incident in Qingliangden is the story of Michizane Sugawara, one of the four evil spirits of neon. According to legend, he was unjustly exiled and died in the place of exile.

It is said that out of resentment for the emperor who listened to the slander and those political opponents who falsely accused him, thunder and lightning fell one day when the emperor and those political opponents gathered at Seiryoden, causing many deaths and injuries.

The imperial court was quite alarmed by this, believing that Daozhen's evil spirit was at work, so he pardoned his crime and awarded him an official position.

Tomie immediately understood Qingming's hint, "Is that the former residence of Duke Daozhen?"

Qingming nodded.

Tomie immediately thought of something again, "But weren't Duke Daozhen's descendants summoned back to Kyoto? Can't they even live in that mansion?"

Yuan Boya and Qingming nodded together.

Minamoto Boya, a little expert in Heianjing Bagua, explained in time: "After the death of Michizane, the Fujiwara clan wanted to buy that mansion. Who knew that the Fujiwara clan members who lived there all died suddenly and mysteriously for different reasons."

Tomie: How come there are Fujiwara families everywhere!

"Later, things got better after the Fujiwara clan withdrew from the mansion, but then Emperor Daigo's princes died of illness one by one, men's laughter came from the court at night, and the palace suffered a three-year drought..."

"Ah?" Fu Jiang suspected that he heard wrongly.

Yuan Boya's face was heavy, "Yunyu completely avoided the palace during those three years. Everything outside the palace was as usual, but the heat inside the palace was hard to get rid of."

Judging from Yuan Boya's expression, he must have experienced those three years of drought.

Tomie brought the off-track topic back: "Did the other people who lived in the mansion on Wujo Avenue also die later?"

Yuan Boya thought for a while and shook his head, "No, many people came in and out of Sugawara's house after that. They seemed to be quite frightened. Some people got sick when they came back, but..."

Tomie confirmed, "No one who entered the house died except Fujiwara, right?"

Yuan Boya nodded.

Excluding the fact that he took targeted revenge on his enemies, the legend about him is more of a prank than a source of evil.

"Since no one is dead, let's go visit it."
