Yu Zhongming continued to introduce himself with a smile: "My name is Yu Zhongming, and this is my disciple Yuzhong Mayu. We are travelers brought to Kyoto from Sato in the southern coastal area. Who knows that the time is not right. When we arrive in Kyoto By the time we got to the city, the city gate was already closed."

"I see that you are still driving on the city wall at night, old man. You should be a person who has lived in Kyoto for a long time. I guessed that you might know how to enter the capital city at night, so I took the liberty to call you. I didn't expect to scare you. It really shouldn't be."

"It's nothing, it's nothing. Old man, I have sparrow blindness. If there is no light at night, I can only see an acre of land in front of me. I didn't see you, my nobleman. I scared myself out of thin air." The old man said respectfully : "My lord, do you want to enter this capital city?"

"Yeah! Do you really have a solution, old man?" Yu Zhongming was a little surprised, he thought he would find an abandoned house outside to make ends meet for the night.

"Yes, but..." The old man made a troubled expression.

Yu Zhongming unhurriedly took out dozens of copper coins from his bosom, stuffed them into the old man's hand, and said politely: "Actually, it doesn't matter to me, but my disciple is only 6 years old. It's still raining heavily, if she suffers I'm sorry for her dead parents. If you really have a way to take us in tonight, that would be great."

The old man looked at the copper coins in his hand, and then took a serious look at Mayu's appearance.

He turned around silently.

As he led the way, he said: "Originally, only the old man knew this place, and it was the barrier for me to enter and exit Luojing at night. If I let others know and block this way, the old man, I would not be able to survive. Your lord , please don't hurt me."

"No problem, no problem."

Yu Zhongming took Mayu's little hand and followed behind the old man, repeatedly agreeing.

After walking for less than three to five minutes, a faint light appeared in front of Yu Zhongming and the others.

There was an oval door opening about half a person's height on the city wall in front of him, and the light came from this door opening.

"Here we are, my lord. This is the gateway for me, the old man, to enter and exit Luojing."

After the old man said this, he bent down and walked in hastily.

Then his voice came from the other side of the doorway: "My lord, come quickly."

Yu Zhongming frowned and looked at the door in front of him, hesitating.

He can be [-]% sure that the old man just now is a human being, and he can also be sure that this doorway is a specially opened entrance to the Heianjing enchantment.

But the behavior of this old man is too weird, why is it so like the evil ghost in the picture book who deceives humans.

laugh.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhongming sneered, no longer hesitated, and also bent down and walked into the cave—could he still be afraid of traps and dangers?

Taking a step forward, several rays of light suddenly shone on Yu Zhongming's body.

This radiance carried a warm feeling, illuminating Yu Zhongming's body and mind.

Feeling the comfortable feeling on his body, Yu Zhongming stepped out of the hole.

The first thing I saw was the old man leading the way, holding several talismans in his hand.

The talisman was shining brightly, shining continuously on the entrance of the cave.

In an instant, Yu Zhongming understood the old man's mind, and said with a wry smile: "Old man, I am a human being, not a ghost. You can't hurt me with a talisman."

The old man also reacted quickly. He looked at the talisman in his hand, and then at Yu Zhongming. He opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Yu Zhongming didn't care about him, but called Mayuyi to come over quickly.

The old man reacted quickly, and immediately pointed the glowing part of the talisman at the entrance of the cave.

When Mayu also appeared facing the brilliance, the old man laughed twice and stuffed the talisman into his pocket.

"You old man treats me and my disciples as evil ghosts." Yu Zhongming was a little impatient: "I just want you to lead the way, if you are afraid, you just don't take it. How can you do this."

The old man quickly bent down ninety degrees and apologized: "My lord, I am also afraid. What if I reject you, I will be eaten immediately. You and your disciple didn't bring rain gear on this rainy day, but your body is a little wet There are no traces of scars, and the soles of the feet are dry. Of course I am afraid of the old man."

"Eh~!"

However, Yu Zhongming forgot this question. He and Mayu, one in a pure white hunting suit and the other in a kimono, shouted on the road just past Hyakki Yako.

Moreover, the two of them didn't have any smell of rain on their bodies on a rainy night, which was very suspicious no matter how they looked at it.

"Ah~! Sorry, old man."

Chapter 24 Monster Possession

"Sorry, old man. I really forgot this. I am a swordsman who has practiced spiritual power, and this little girl is my disciple. Both of us can use spiritual power to block the rain, so there is no moisture on our bodies."

Since it was his mistake, Yu Zhongming would never shirk his responsibility. He sincerely apologized and said, "I am very sorry for frightening you. If you need help, my disciple and I will never refuse."

The old man waved his hand: "My mistake is a little bit bigger. You just don't care about me, my lord. I don't care about your affairs. By the way, I'm sorry old man. Why did you come to Luojing at this time? The inn has been closed for a long time, no new guests are accepted, there are ghosts haunting the road, most people are sleeping with their doors closed, and almost no one appears on the street."

"You come at this time, and there is no place to live!" The old man was a little puzzled: "Could it be that your lord, are you going to sleep on the street?"

"Huh?!" Yu Zhongming was very surprised when he heard the news: "There is no inn at this time? I think the time is less than Haishi at most, so why is there no one? Doesn't it mean that Ping'an Jing is full of songs and dances every night, silk and bamboo The sound of the empty strings surrounds the beam, the five colors fascinate the eyes, and the five tones fascinate the ears?"

The old man looked like that, and then he couldn't help explaining to the country bumpkin noble in his eyes: "Only on special festivals, there is no curfew in Heian capital, otherwise you are not allowed to wander the streets at night. And at night Occasionally there are monsters wandering around, how can ordinary people dare to go out at night casually."

What the old man said was completely different from the Heian-kyo that Yu Zhongming had inquired about from Sato, but it was also a little more real.

Knowing this situation, Yu Zhongming couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

Do you really want to sleep on the street tonight?This is not within his consideration.

The old man saw his embarrassment, and immediately said: "Well, old man, I will accept your copper coins. If you really have no acquaintances in the capital and nowhere to go, you can go to my house and make a living. There's a spare hut, and a spare set of bedding."

"Thank you, old man." Yu Zhongming readily agreed.
