King Solomon's Road to Righteousness[Comprehensive]

This is a not too big courtyard, the house is not new, but it is not old.There are several strings of wind chimes hanging under the eaves, all of which are the most common styles sold in festivals. When the wind blows, the bells jingle and jingle, and the bells jingle non-stop, adding a bit of popularity to this somewhat too quiet courtyard in vain.

There is a crooked-necked cherry tree planted in the courtyard, ugly, and the leaves are not the normal green, but a crimson purple with a slightly strange color.There are few flowers, but the smell is strong, if it is not for the unique aroma of cherry blossoms, Wuxiang Xuejian really would not notice the small flowers that are almost buried under the lush leaves.

The yard is not deserted, but it can be seen that it has not been well taken care of.There is a stone table under the tree, and a person dressed as an onmyoji sits behind it.After hearing the monster's approaching footsteps, the man raised his head, revealing a clear and sinister face.

"Big Tengu, where did you go again, even calling you with a contract refused to come back."

Hei Qingming put down the pen in his hand, and frowned at the winged monster, his face full of dissatisfaction.

"You're calling it wrong again, Hei Qingming. I'm obviously just a crow spirit. Don't just assign your names to monsters to me."

Ignoring Hei Qingming's anger, the monster turned around and introduced the situation to Wuxiang Xuejian who was following behind him.

"That guy is Kuro Seimei. His only long-cherished wish is to open the gate of the underworld and realize the reversal of yin and yang. Because our two goals are the same, I will act with him. I am not his shikigami."

"Hmph, if I didn't have to sign a contract, I wouldn't want an unreliable shikigami like you."

Hei Qingming snorted coldly: "The contract clearly says 'big tengu', but you keep insisting that you are just that kind of lowly little demon. I don't know what you think."

Youkai... No, it should be possible to officially call him Daitengu now.The big tengu shrugged and spread his hands towards his onmyoji.

"I have lived in Datang far more than staying here. Since those monsters in my hometown called me a crow spirit, then I am a crow spirit. The big dog sounds like a dog by name, right? It's not the kind of race that doesn't live with cats, is it, Miss Cat Demon?"

While talking, the big tengu threw the topic to Wuxiang Xuejian who had been keeping silent ever since he entered the courtyard.He tilted his head and looked at the other party, then suddenly reached out and grabbed the heroic spirit who was watching.

Wu Xiangxuejian no longer wanted to refute the other party's address to him, and he didn't even bother to correct that he was actually a man.When Aiba Yuki saw him calling him "the familiar made by his mother", he could still see that the other party was pretending to be some disguise, but this big tengu who claimed to be a crow spirit called himself "the cat" again and again. Demon", the starting point is just for fun.

He never believed the other party's words that he was a "crow spirit", but he also had some doubts about his initial judgment.After all, in his mind, Ootengu shouldn't be such a playful, smiling monster all day long, but rather a more dignified and majestic monster, not to mention his hanging out with Hei Qingming.

Wu Xiangxue Jian secretly looked at the dark onmyoji, and then found that the other party was also observing him.

Although he has lost most of his strength, all parameters have been suppressed to the lowest level, even to the point where he can't even reach e, Wu Xiangxue Jian still has the most basic perception of a heroic spirit.

The human figure called "Kuro Seimei" in front of him... yes, it's just a human form.Judging from his feelings, it can't even be called a complete human being. If he had to say it, the other party should be just a soul with a body, and it is still incomplete.

Hei Qingming gave him the feeling of a muddy quagmire, a kind of fluid without a shape, chaotic, noisy and restless, under the surface, there is black mud surging secretly... In short, the onmyoji It made him feel very bad.

I heard from Otengu before that Abe Seimei is an onmyoji who guards Heian-kyo, while Hei Seimei in front of him wants to open the gate of the underworld and overthrow the existence of the Yang world. Combined with his experience of the opponent's aura, Wu Xiangxuejian guessed that Hei Qingming standing in front of him should be, to a large extent, the half body of that "Abe Seimei", or, more precisely, it should be the dark side of that Onmyoji.

Onmyoji, magic, spells... There are many possibilities for such mysterious things. Since there are such things as heroic spirits, then use the human body to clean up your "negative thoughts" and form another completely Things like different individuals should not be so difficult to understand.

But why would that onmyoji do this?Do you want to become more "pure" yourself, or do you want to direct and act in a drama that can improve your own prestige?No, it shouldn't be the latter, otherwise, the "Onmyoji" in front of him shouldn't be called "Hei Qingming", which is very similar to his real name.

"You brought back a very interesting thing."

When Wuxiang Xuejian was looking at Hei Qingming, the other party was also looking at him.The onmyoji with long indigo-purple hair let his eyes linger on Heroic Spirit, then turned his head to his Shikigami Otengu and said, "It looks weak, but it is actually strong... What is this? I also came from Datang just like you. Did you come?"

"Eh? What, what, didn't I tell you just now? This is Miss Cat Demon."

"Your ability to open your eyes and tell lies is getting stronger and stronger. Why, don't you want me to know his real name and identity? Well, if you really don't want to say it, I can't force you."

Hei Qingming didn't pay attention to Tengu's nonsense, he bent his mouth towards Wuxiang Xuejian: "Since he brought him here, he must be the one who wants to join my plan. Welcome, and congratulations, you have made such a move." Wise choice."

Wu Xiangxuejian didn't say anything, but nodded slightly towards the other party as a greeting.

He didn't know how he should respond to the other party in this situation.Back then when he met Sanri Yuezong, because his strength was still there, he could choose to show his disdain and hostility directly to the fallen Fu Sangshen, but this time he couldn't.

Although the other party is just a broken soul, his own state is not much better than the other party, not to mention, as an onmyoji, Hei Qingming has many ways to deal with "spiritual bodies". If one accidentally touched the pain point of the other party and caused some unreasonable disaster to oneself, it would be a great misfortune.

Although the response of "nodding" was not very polite, at least it was much better than the way he couldn't help but want to say "you're welcome" as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Since you found it, then you are responsible, Big Tengu."

Hei Qingming withdrew his gaze from Wuxiang Xuejian before, and picked up the brush again.He put the semi-dry nib on the inkstone beside him and dipped it twice, then lowered his head again, and began to trace the rice paper on the stone table in detail.

It's that simple?No more questions?

Wuxiangxuejian looked at Hei Qingming, who was overly calm about her sudden visit, and suddenly felt a little confused from the bottom of her heart.But he didn't ask out his inner doubts bluntly, but let the big tengu standing aside pull him away and left the courtyard.

When the two of them entered the house, neither the clogs nor the leather shoes with heels were taken off, but they "kicked and tapped" chaotically on the old wooden floor and made a series of noises.

"Big Tengu..."

"Don't follow them and call me 'big tengu'."

Wu Xiang only called out a name, and the other party turned his head, stretched out a finger and printed it on his lips.

"The tengu with this title has other monsters... I am just an outsider to the tengu clan in this area. Did you hear it just now? I am not a monster born and raised in this area, I come from a distant land Datang. It is only because I heard that there is a gate to the Yin world here, and it is easier to intervene in the affairs between the Yin and Yang worlds, so I came here from that country all the way."

"I have always been called the crow spirit by those monsters in my hometown, and the 'tengu' is another completely different species, just like their name, they are real dog monsters, and I am a bird with wings Small monsters are a completely different existence... On top of that, they hate cats, and I like furry cat ears the most!"

Wuxiang Xuejian nodded, indicating that he understood.

Although a lot of Japanese culture comes from Japan, there are still many differences between the two when it comes to details.The Heian period was an era of revitalization of Japan's own culture. From this stage onwards, the cultures of the two countries will have greater differences and become two completely different existences.

In Japan, tengu are described as red-faced, long-nosed, and winged monsters, but in Japan, they are indeed dog monsters, without any "bird" elements.

There are indeed records of tengus from Japan in Japanese classics, which shows that in this era of rampant demons and monsters, there are "tengus" from the Japanese concept in Japan far in the east, and since Hei Seimei, the "heianjing's most "Strong Onmyoji" is identified as a tengu, so he must be this kind of monster.

However, Aiba Yukimi didn't know that there was one conclusion drawn from the conversation between the two just now. What he cared about was the point about his own origin that Ootengu said.

□ □ Datang.

It is true that he has never been to Heian-kyo in Japan, but he has been to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty at the same time.The other party's words reminded him that this was indeed the world he had been to, but the last time he was in Japan, this time he came to Japan.

Hmm... Then when he came here last time, what did he do to the "he" in this world?

Wuxiang Xuejian frowned, he recalled it for a long time, but he didn't recall the slightest thing about what he did in this world back then.

He has experienced too many worlds, and it is inevitable that there will be some omissions in his memory.Some worlds are different in nature, but have the same direction in a certain period of history. Without the assistance of the tablet, he can't tell whether he is now in Datang A, Datang B, or the Datang that he has forgotten. c.

If only those eyes were still there.

Wuxiang Xuejian raised his hand to cover one of his eyes, thinking with some annoyance.Why did the part of the spirit foundation that was left in Aiba Yukimi's body be related to the eyes?He thought back to the golden eyes of the God-inspector looking at him when he left Honmaru.This is the clairvoyance that can see through one's past, and it was handed over so casually.

Completely ignoring that he deliberately left these "clairvoyance" at the beginning, so that the other party could know that he regretted the crimes he committed in the past.

To be honest, when Datengu told Wuxiang Xuejian the reason why he wanted to open the gate of the underworld, he felt a little bad.Why does this style and way of knowing look so similar to the self that decided to resurrect Solomon?

He was still a little hesitant in his heart at the beginning, but after knowing that the other party was from Datang, he was almost certain.

There is an 80.00% possibility that the big tengu in front of him is someone who was killed by his own plan, the "he" of this world.

Because the tengu... is a monster turned into a ghost.

After the human soul is turned into a monster, it may not have the same appearance as before, but it will have the obsession of life.And the tengu's obsession in front of him might just want to revive his "friend".

That's too bad.

Wu Xiangxuejian's complexion suddenly turned pale.

If the big tengu is "him", then wouldn't it be too much for him to make the agreement with the other party to "give flesh and blood after accompanying him"?Hurting the other party for the first time is not counted, so this time he will be used as the cornerstone for him to find Jedidiah, and take his life for the second time?

Moreover, if his purpose was to revive his friend, then if he died after the resurrection, wouldn't the two be separated by two places?Big Tengu himself also said that the future he faces is likely to be imprisoned in hell by Yan Mo, such an ending...

Also, if he came from Japan, wouldn't the existence that is obsessed with him have to go back to that place to find it?

Wu Xiangxuejian stood there in a daze for a long time, not even noticing that Big Tengu raised his hand and waved in front of him twice.

"Hey, what's the matter? Did you think of something unhappy?"

Seeing that his behavior did not attract the other party's attention, the big tengu simply raised his hand higher.He put his hand on Wuxiang Xuejian's head and rubbed it lightly.

"I know that Hei Qingming makes people feel terrible. Can you also hear the strange voice coming from him? That is the cry of the wronged soul, the last words of the person killed by him. Because Hei Qingming did not He is not a complete human being, so his physique can easily absorb the grievances of dead people. It seems that you are not an ordinary human being. You should be able to hear those voices, right? Feel uncomfortable? I won’t let you see him next time, okay? good?"

"No...no, that's not the case."

Wuxiang Xuejian finally pulled his thoughts back, he didn't open the other's hand on his head, he kept his head up slightly in this posture, and looked at the big tengu who was looking worried at him.

He suddenly didn't know how to face each other.

If Jedidia was still by his side, he could do his best to fulfill that wish for the other party without hesitation, but now, the child is not by his side, and he only wants to find him as soon as possible.

Yes.Finding Jedidiah is more important, don't focus on other things, even if the other party is the proof of your sin.

Thinking of this, Wu Xiangxuejian barely calmed down his restless mood.He shook his head towards the other party, said softly "It's okay", then, as if wanting to add some credibility to his words, he pursed his lips and quickly bent towards the big tengu Mouth.

"...that smile is too ugly."

Big Tengu put down his hand and frowned.

"I don't want to see any sad expression on this face...it's so pretty, why don't you be happy?"

He muttered something quickly, fell silent for a moment, then seemed to suddenly remember something, suddenly his eyes lit up, caught Wu Xiangxue Jian who was still in a trance, and ran out the door quickly.

"Hey, hey! What are you doing?!"

Seeing a stagger being pulled by him, Wu Xiangxue ran a few steps to catch up with the opponent, only had time to say a questioning word, and felt herself surrounded by the wind again.

He watched his toes gradually leaving the ground, a little panicked and a little helpless, the whistling wind surrounded his ears, making him unable to hear clearly what the big tengu said to him.

He squinted his eyes and tried his best to read the other party's lips, barely guessing what the big tengu wanted to express.

"Please listen to the ditty!"
