Zhong Na said that this official position is the fourth-class vice-official, and because the population of nobles in the Heian period increased rapidly, the conditions for taking up this position were relaxed a lot, so it was not powerful in the palace.

The outstanding thing about Ikeda Nagon is that his estate has a very wide range, and the samurai group he raised can be regarded as one of the best.

Since the promulgation of regulations such as the "Cultivation of Permanent Private Wealth Law", large-scale land reclamation activities have been carried out among the people. Manor owners have taken this opportunity to include a large amount of land for private use. In such an era of limited technological level, owning land can attract The people can then plow the land to harvest grain and expand their own strength.

In addition to the manor, Ikeda Zhongnayan also has another connection, that is, the well-known onmyoji-Abe Seimei in the small courtyard near the Tomomon Bridge in Heian Jing.

When Shikigami brought the tea, Nagon Ikeda stared at the little paper figurine that could move by itself, raised his hand to brush the sand on his forearm with some concerns, only to realize that the skin under his clothes was already trembling .

"It's a bit cold here, Master Seimei." Ikeda couldn't help holding up his teacup, took a sip of hot tea, and finally recovered. "Summer is coming soon, but it seems that there is still a hint of cold spring."

The onmyoji in front of him held a teacup, smiled slightly, and explained: "It's already summer outside, but due to the geographical feng shui in my dormitory, it will be difficult to get out of the 'cold' environment for a while."

"how do I say this?"

"My mansion is in the 'Gen' position, which is commonly known as the 'Gate of Ghosts'. If the evil things outside the city want to enter the capital, I will feel it here. My lord feels cold, it is because it is summer. Afterwards, the activities of hundreds of ghosts tended to be more frequent, and countless people flocked to Ping'an capital, so it is inevitable that you will feel that the yin is piercing into your bones, and the surroundings are cold and unbearable..." The rest of the Onmyoji held a mysterious smile on his lips, obviously He is a handsome and refined person, but this smile makes one's heart chill.

Ikeda shivered for a while, thinking that this mansion is actually a place where evil spirits enter the capital to suppress them, so he should not stay for a long time, so he quickly started the discussion on the topic: "Master Qingming, there have been more than ten murders in my manor." Well, the victims are all children and women, my warriors searched the palm-sized land, but found no clues, except for these few bloody clothes."

The wooden box containing the blood clothes was presented in front of the Onmyoji. The onmyoji unfolded a folding fan to cover half of his face, glanced at the shape of the cutout, and saw a flash of clarity in his eyes.

"Master Ikeda, I remember, there is a shrine in your manor, right?" Qingming asked.

A land as big as a palm?This Zhong Nagan is modest. The land and samurai he owns are almost catching up with one of his old acquaintances. I don't know which of the left and right ministers will be the backer of Ikeda Zhong Nayan. How did the fourth deputy minister control so much land?

"Yes, Amancong Shrine." Ikeda was very clear about the structure and composition of his manor, "It is an old shrine. I have always respected such things, so I specially allocated some gold and silver to support this shrine. Last year, those shamans also repaired the shrine's buildings, and looking at it now, it is a gorgeous and glorious shrine." Ikeda immediately stated his position.

The monsters of this era really troubled humans like them. Ikeda thought that it would be beneficial to have a shrine in his territory to suppress them.

But who knows, this kind of thing is happening now.

"Tiancong Shrine is a shrine built by the wizard who served Suzhan Mingzun in the past. One is to worship this god, and the other is to worship Tiancongyun Sword."

Seimei told each other the background of the shrine one by one, and Ikeda was a little surprised when he heard about it, "But I don't think there are any weapons enshrined in the shrine."

The Onmyoji waved his folding fan, and described the dusty history with a clear voice: "Sword Tian Congyun, Suzhan Mingzun killed the big snake and took the sword out of the snake's body, and then used this sword to suppress the big snake's most proud subordinate One - soil spider."

As he said that, the Onmyoji swept over the pool of bloody clothes, "Don't you think that the gaps in the clothes look like insect bites?"

Seeing Ikeda's frightened face, Qingming felt that the other party really didn't know what was going on, so he comforted him: "I will go to your manor some other day to have a look. If there is an omission in the seal and the monster is released, then I will add it to you again." .”

Saying that, the Onmyoji clapped his hands, and the little paper man conveniently opened the curtain on one side, allowing the long-awaited guest to appear.

When he saw the visitor, Ikeda Zhong Nayan couldn't help being a little amazed, and his eyes were fixed on the other person, and he couldn't move away for a long time - don't blame him, when a normal man sees a beauty, he will His reaction was calm.

"You can call her Qing Xingdeng, it's the sharp weapon in her hand, and you can discuss with that swordsmith more," Seimei introduced the guest to Ikeda, "Since the craftsman can forge such things as mustache and knee maru Two strikes to treasure, it shouldn't be a problem for those Qingxing Deng to repair this weapon, right?"

The long-haired girl is holding a large knife that is one person tall in her hand. The black and red scabbard restrains the evil spirit and sharpness of this monster knife. The small blade at the tip has been broken from it. It must be broken vigorously by someone who doesn't cherish a good knife. up.

"It's easy to talk about," Ikeda Nakano wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with a square towel, "I'm going to be recommended by Qing Xingdeng, and I'd like to ask Master Seimei to visit my manor, clean up those little monsters, and give my residents a A quiet place to live."

That's it, that's the deal.

The woman in front of me who has turned into a human is naturally the big demon Qing Xingdeng, and the broken blade she holds in her arms is the body of the demon swordsman. In order to restore the demon swordsman, the female monster came to Heian capital specially, and found it after several rounds. got myself here.

Seimei didn't expect that Shuten-douji and Shuten-douji had saved him and Boya and his party when they were at Rashomon for a while, but he had to repay this kindness now.

"You go with Ikeda-sama. If he recommends you, that arrogant swordsmith will definitely agree to your request to repair the monster sword." Before parting, Qingming explained the reason to the monster in a low voice, and asked again, "By the way, there has never been a demon sword." Seeing Shuten-douji, how is he doing recently?"

Hearing this, Qing Xingdeng's face became gloomy, and then the monster said: "Master Shuten hasn't been back for a while... However, Ibaraki Doji has been looking for him, I believe there will be news soon."

The Onmyouji waved his fan, contacted all kinds of rumors in Dajiangshan in the past few years, and there was indeed a piece of news that "Ibaraki-douji monopolizes the power, Shuten-douji has not shown up for a long time".

Thinking that Qing Xingdeng wandered around Kyoto for a long time to restore the demon sword girl, and finally came to him to build a bridge because of Ibaraki's advice. Perhaps the second in command has gradually become accustomed to the role of the king who leads the monsters.

Is Jiu Tun relegated to the second line for retirement?

Qing Xingdeng's answer was vague, and Seimei didn't want to ask too many questions. After neatly arranging a courtyard for Qing Xingdeng to live in in Ping'an Jing, he started to deal with the monster cannibalism in Ikeda's manor.

The young Onmyoji packed his bags and spells, and found a coachman to set off on a long journey, but before leaving, someone stopped the car of the Onmyoji.

"Master Qingming, someone stopped the car, and it seems that they have something to say to you."

Hearing what the driver said, Seimei lifted the curtain with one hand, and saw the samurai standing in front of the car.

"Oh, it's Boya? I haven't seen you for a long time. What's your business?" Seeing the samurai, Qingming narrowed his eyes and smiled like a fox.

The samurai was stunned for a moment, then said: "Qingming, I heard that you are going to Ikeda Nagon's manor to eliminate demons?"

Hearing Boya's words, Qingming made a stop gesture, and then beckoned him to get in the car, so as not to let passers-by hear the news.

But after getting in the car, before Qingming could speak, Boya started talking like a cannonball: "Actually, I don't agree with you to meddle in this matter. The Ikeda family has a lot to do with Qinghe's lineage. If the other clans want to shake Qinghe Ikeda will definitely be the target of one branch, and his estate is the best bargaining chip. If he makes some right and wrong to attract the attention of the emperor, it is best to be punished and deprived of the land. This is their best method..."

Qingming listened with a smile, and interjected at the right time: "Then Boya, why did you tell me these things?"

With just one sentence, the samurai successfully shut up.

"This is your Genji's internal affairs. Genji struggle is not honorable, so why tell me this outsider?" Onmyouji added leisurely, and was immediately retorted by the samurai, "You are not an outsider".

A look of confusion and thought flashed across his face, and finally, bathed in the onmyoji's waiting gaze, Boya slowly uttered the words: "Because we are friends."

I'm a friend, so I can't bear to see you fall into the quagmire of our clan's struggle.

Hearing the answer, Onmyoji's light-colored eyes finally dimmed a little bit.

Then, the Onmyouji waved his hand and pointed the folding fan directly at the door curtain: "Please go back, Boya. Since I take over this matter, I must help to the end. If your clan regards me as an enemy because of this, I have nothing to do. You and I are not allowed to stand by and watch monsters cause trouble and hurt people, right?"

The samurai's thin lips moved, but in the end he couldn't say any more words of dissuasion. In the end, he could only open the door curtain in anger, and rushed out of the car. Before leaving, he left a sentence: "Yuan Laiguang is carrying Baodao Xiwan, and he has gone first. If you have the heart, avoid him and move."

This is to remind myself that when the time comes to meet Minamoto Raimiko, we must separate the relationship and not make the other party suspicious.

It's a benevolent reminder, just click it.

Seimei unfolded the folding fan and fanned himself a little depressed.

Yu Mu's head is not clear, and he is an adult and still calls each other a friend. Is it really difficult to admit his own thoughts?

He looked cute when he was a child, at least at that time Boya was willing to give away even rare monsters to make himself happy.

The author has something to say: Boya: We are friends

Qingming: Who wants to be your friend?
