Honmaru Notebook[Comprehensive]

Day 101 of Honmaru Chapter 98

Yuan Shigemitsu looked at the gradually approaching figure, and the blurry outline gradually became clear. It was a young woman holding an umbrella, wearing a black kimono with flower and bird patterns, her long hair was neatly rolled up, tied into a bun on her head, and a hairpin Wearing simple flowers, her face is slightly lowered, and her face cannot be seen clearly.

The plain oil-paper umbrella looks very old, the flowers and birds painted on it can't be seen clearly, only speckled color blocks are left, water is dripping down from the edge of the umbrella, and a deep moist water vapor blows towards the face, as if There was a river flowing slowly in front of Yuan Shigeguang.

As if sensing Yuan Shigemitsu's gaze, the woman stopped in her tracks and tilted her umbrella back a little. The water splashed on the umbrella trickled down from behind and splashed on the bluestone pavement. Splashes of water and sewage all stained the hem of the woman's clothes, staining the light-colored flowers and birds with delicate lines into a mess.

But she didn't seem to feel anything about it, and stared at Yuan Shigemitsu after raising the umbrella.

Those are a pair of deep black pupils, the pupils seem to be a circle larger than ordinary people, like an ancient well that cannot see to the bottom, no matter how bright the light is, there is no line of whiteness from it, there is no emotion inside, just so faint and cold Looking at Yuan Shigemitsu carefully.

"It's late, Ji Jun, please go home as soon as possible."

Yuan Shigemitsu let her stare at him, with the same smile on his face, while Qing Jiang on one side pressed the handle of the knife, without saying a word.

The woman standing in the rain paused for a while, as if she had just realized it, she slightly raised her hand holding the umbrella, facing the direction of Yuan Shigemitsu, not caring that a large piece of her body was instantly splashed wet by the heavy rain.

It was an invitation to share an umbrella. The end of the little finger curled up gracefully, like a trembling flower petal blooming in the rain. When ordinary men see it, they will inevitably walk over and meet this shy, kind and gentle Ji. You will walk together under the umbrella.

"Although this invitation is very tempting...it's a pity that I am a man with a family."

Yuan Zhongguang said this with a smile, mustache cut out of its sheath suddenly, in the pouring rain, a white knife light flashed, and the old oil-paper umbrella was easily split from the middle like tofu, together with what I saw under the umbrella Together with the pitiful woman, they turned into a cloud of green smoke amidst a shrill scream.

"Clap."

The dilapidated umbrella lost the control of its owner, fell to the ground, and was instantly smashed by the heavy rain. Qingjiang, who was not paying attention to his own master, rushed up, and the monster in front of him was already split in half in surprise.Seeing him still standing in the rain, Fu Sangshen was suffering from a terrible headache, and ran out slowly, trying to help Yuan Shigemitsu some rain with his hands: "Master! Why did you rush out like this! Human beings will get sick if they get wet in the rain Bar?"

The sword that had once slashed ghosts buzzed happily. Yuan Shigemitsu lowered his head and shook off the dirty gray water stains on the knife, put the knife back into its sheath, and waved his hand at Qing Jiang: "It's okay, it will stop soon."

As if he had heard his words, the heavy rain that was still pouring violently just now subsided within a few seconds. It seemed that in a blink of an eye, only the unfinished water dripping down from the eaves remained.

"The monster who invited a man to share an umbrella in the rain is Yu Nu, right?" Yuan Shigemitsu looked at the tattered umbrella.

"Yes, if there is a man who smiles back and shares an umbrella with him, he will be followed by Yu Nu for life, live in a humid environment forever, and eventually die because he can't stand such a humid environment—those who are at home A drowned man!" Qing Jiang suddenly thought of this, and couldn't help raising his voice.

Yuan Zhongguang nodded, apparently also thinking of going with him: "Yes... But, I didn't find any evil spirit in her."

That's why he didn't make the first move.

Yu Nu has no evil spirit on her body, she is like the most ordinary woman, holding a long-used umbrella, walking slowly in the streets and alleys in the rain alone, if it is daytime instead of night, Yuan Shigemitsu may not even Will not look at her more.

Qing Jiang couldn't help but ponder.

As a knife with the deeds of killing ghosts, even he didn't notice the evil spirit on Yu Nu, which is simply unbelievable. Yu Nu is not a very powerful big monster. If she can hide her aura, then it is impossible It is impossible to be cut off by Yuan Shigemitsu.

"This is... so strange."

Minato Shigemitsu frowned and looked at the dark front, the silent street opened its mouth wide open like a beast's lair.

"Let's go, let's go back after passing the fork in front of us." Yuan Zhongguang faintly felt that he had missed something, but he couldn't remember it.

Smiling Qingjiang had no choice but to follow: "Go back directly, aren't you cold? You can lend my arms to Master~"

Yuan Shigemitsu took off his drenched cloak, twisted it, a large stream of water was squeezed out, and fell to the ground with a loud noise.

"Can I wear this... so I still have to wash it?" He shook off his crumpled cloak and asked Qing Jiang uncertainly.

Wakizashi smiled wryly, and took his own clothes: "Ah, of course I have to wash it, but it's not too much trouble-- hurry up, master, it's getting late, but Yaoyan told me to take you back early ah."

The roads in Kyoto are all horizontal and vertical, dividing each district into neat squares. This intersection is the original six major roads. Of course, it is no longer called by this name.It is very close to the outer city. There are often vendors who come to sell their goods and can’t go home in time to live here. There are mixed people. Not far away is the city gate. A river meanders through it, making soft rippling sounds at night.

The patrolling military police seemed to be disturbed by the sudden heavy rain, and they hadn't been seen for a long time. Yuan Shigemitsu simply walked along the wide road. The river was introduced into the city to supply the area. Everyone's domestic water, and a simple bridge was built in a particularly wide place.

Yuan Shigemitsu's footsteps became slower and slower, and finally stopped under a willow tree with a crooked neck beside the bridge.

An old woman was washing things by the river with her back to them. The clothes on her body were full of patches. The original dark clothes were faded after washing. A few strands of pale hair leaked out from under the scarf. Her thin body was bent, Tremblingly washing the things in the basket.

It seemed to be a kind of bean with very small and hard grains, shaking in the basket, sending the water waves far away, and she seemed to be muttering something, the toothless mouth made a vague sound, mixed in her throat Can't hear clearly.

Yuan Shigemitsu and Smiling Qingjiang looked at each other, and each had a guess in their hearts.

Yuan Shigemitsu took a step back and released his spiritual power silently. The water-like power spread wave after wave in the air, like a feather lightly passing over the treetops and branches, and stretched out in the dark night.

very clean.

Very, very clean.

He didn't feel any discomfort, just like being in a shrine, with a comfortable and pleasant feeling.

Yuan Zhongguang opened his eyes, shook his head at Qingjiang, and gestured to the old woman with his chin.

There are mixed fish and dragons here, and the people who come and go are poor commoners, not to mention miscellaneous monsters, and even the depression condensed by the evil thoughts of people can't be found, how is it possible!Could it be that onmyojis come here every day to expel evil spirits?This kind of treatment was not even available to the emperors of the past.

Qing Jiang walked forward with a smile, and stopped a step away from the old woman: "Hello, is there any place to stay near here?"

The hand of the old woman cleaning things stopped suddenly, she didn't turn her head, and she didn't answer, she was still muttering something, her body trembled, as if she was about to fall into the water.

Qing Jiang slowly drew his knife, and the smile on his face grew wider: "Mother-in-law? It's so late, what are you washing? Do you need my help?"

The ear-piercing clattering sound suddenly sounded, and the bamboo basket was raised to the surface of the water. Qingjiang swept it hastily, and saw clearly that it was a half-baked basket of red beans.

In the dark night, the basket of red beans is like a fruit condensed by blood, each one is glowing bright red.

Minato Shigemitsu held his mustache in his backhand and stared closely at the old woman's back. Qingjiang bent slightly, as if he was going to pick up the bamboo basket. At a very close distance, he finally heard the old woman clearly. The stuff that women say.

"Grind the beans back and forth, grind them into powder and eat them..."

"Catch and grind people, grind them into powder and eat them..."

In the next second, the old woman who had been quiet all this time suddenly raised her head, bloody and greedy light burst out from her cloudy and yellow eyes, sharp claws suddenly protruded from her old wrinkled hands, and grabbed Qing Jiang's neck.

"Ding--"

The white-bladed Wakizashi was holding the claw just right, and the glowing tip of the claw was only inches from his eyes.

Qing Jiang licked his lips, and grinned eagerly: "Oh, are you so enthusiastic? But I prefer someone like the master~"

Yuan Shigemitsu was brought into the topic innocently, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "Didn't you say you wanted to go back early?"

"Hey, hey, hey!" Qing Jiang responded, his beautiful eyes were bent, and he didn't feel nervous at all, "Since it's the master's order, let's make it quick."

As soon as the old woman's hand touched Wakizawa, she knew it was not good. The aura on it made her feel frightened from the bottom of her heart. Such a terrifying aura was trying to devour her.

"No—wait—"

With a flick of the blade, the force on it was removed, and it slashed towards her face without stopping.

"Qingjiang."

Wakizashi whizzed past her face, with unabated strength, split the basket of red beans straight, the bamboo utensil was split in half in front of Wakizawa, the incision was sharp and sharp, and the red beans all over the ground rolled away , a few rolled to Yuan Zhongguang's feet, and obediently did not move.

"what do you want to say?"

Yuan Shigemitsu bent down, picked up a red bean, raised it to the front of his eyes and looked at it for a moment, then cast his eyes on the old woman who was dripping with cold sweat.

"Old man... what do you want to know?"

As soon as the old woman started, a sly light flashed in her eyes, she swallowed what she wanted to say, and turned the topic to Yuan Zhongguang.

"Ah... what do I want to know..." Yuan Zhongguang ignored her cleverness, pondered for a moment, and then smiled slightly, "Then tell me, what is it that hides your demonic aura."

The old woman fell down on the ground, looking very pitiful: "This... we are just little demons, how can there be such a magical thing—"

"Kill it." Yuan Zhongguang dropped the red beans in his hand and said with a blank expression.

Wakizashi moved in response, and the old woman trembled in fright: "Wait! Yes!"

The edge of the blade stopped at the tip of her nose, and the monster, which mainly focused on seduction and had no combat power at all, swallowed its saliva, lowered its head and carefully kept a little distance from the ready-to-go knife, and said tremblingly: "Yes! ……Is a--"

The downcast eyes were fierce, and a handful of red beans were thrown towards Qing Jiang's face. Taking advantage of this second of stagnation, she turned over and was about to jump into the river behind her. Immediately afterwards, it plunged into her chest.

The blade pierced through the monster's entire chest, and a sharp blade protruded from the back.

"Giggle-"

The monster gasped with difficulty, its cloudy eyes flickered on and off, and with a "bang", it shattered into a puddle of powder and floated into the dark river.

The spiritual power emitted by Yuan Shigemitsu finally felt the filthy aura that monsters should have at this moment, and it rolled over with the wind.

"Huh?" He frowned, and raised his knife to block it in front of him. The weak and dirty air was frightened and wanted to turn around and run away, but it was cut off by the mustache.

The moment the breath disappeared, the scattered red beans on the ground turned into dark red blood drops, which penetrated into the soil and disappeared.

Yuan Shigemitsu was startled, and then realized that he had forgotten something.

that umbrella.

The umbrella that served as Yu Nu's half body did not disappear after Yu Nu's death.
