Onmyoji Love Curse Volume

When Boya brought wine to visit Seimei's mansion on Tsuchimon-Oji Road again, it was the month of Shizai (December in the Japanese calendar).

There is already a cold wind in Heian-kyo, and it will start snowing in a few days.

Boya stepped into the door engraved with the Kikyo seal, but didn't see any shikigami coming to greet him.But he didn't care at all, and walked across the yard familiarly, and walked straight to the back porch.

Seimei was always there waiting for him.

"Qingming, listen to me, I brought good wine today..."

Before turning the corner, Boya spoke excitedly and loudly.

But he soon realized how reckless he was, because he saw a man in a black hunting suit sitting opposite Seimei, with a black cat beside him.

"Oh, it turns out that Lord Boya is here." The man smiled at him.

"Bao... Lord Baoxian is here?!"

Seeing Boya's embarrassment, the honey bug who was serving beside him burst out laughing.

Boya's face was on fire immediately: "Sorry, did I interrupt your conversation?"

"No, Boya." Qingming looked at him with a smile in his eyes, "I'm talking to Lord Baoxian, you need to come and listen to this matter."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"It's related to 'Shiraishi Shinto'."

Hearing this name, Boya immediately became serious.

"Let's talk while drinking."

Qingming ordered Mi Chong to fetch three wine cups, and poured the fine wine that Boya had brought into them.

Bao Xian took a sip and said in admiration, "It really is a good wine! I've really got my fill. Speaking of which, I should be the one who came to bother you."

Qingming smiled and said nothing, while Boya sat aside and scratched her head in embarrassment.

Baoxian did not continue to tease Boya, put down his wine cup and said seriously: "Qingming, have you talked to Mr. Boya about that matter?"

"not yet."

"Then let me explain first."

Baoxian explained to the puzzled Boya that he and Seimei had roughly analyzed Gu Zang's origin before, and the latter was shocked.

"So what do you mean to say, that Guzang not only learned the spell of 'Shiraishi Shinto', but also, like Lord Qingyin, ate mermaid meat more than 150 years ago and lived to this day?"

"good."

"This... this is unbelievable."

"But considering the current situation, this is the most reasonable explanation."

"Then what is his purpose?"

"I don't know about this." Qingming frowned, "But the Lord Baoxian is here this time, there should be new news."

"It's hard to say whether it's related to Gu Zang, and the accuracy can't be guaranteed, but it makes me quite concerned."

"Tell me about it."

"I have a bodyguard I know well in the court. After he heard that I was investigating the 'Baishi Shinto', he revealed some news to me." Baoxian drank another glass of wine, "Before the Baishi sect was executed , was imprisoned, and the person guarding the cell at that time was the ancestor of the guard."

"Oh?"

"His ancestors were literate and had the habit of recording what they saw and heard, and his notes were well preserved by his descendants, so the guard knew about it."

"So, could it be that there is something about the Baishi sect in the notes?"

"Yes. According to the notes, when Baishi Zongbu was locked in prison, he once said in his sleep: 'Baishi Shinto' will never be eliminated. What he failed to complete, someone will definitely complete it for him. .”

"At that time, all his disciples should have been arrested or killed, right?"

"good."

"Hmm..." Qingming tapped her chin lightly with her fan, "If it wasn't for the nonsense in his dream, then maybe he was talking about Gu Zang."

"Very likely. Besides, he said some interesting things."

"Interesting stuff?"

"The Baishi sect seems to have mentioned some words such as 'qi channel' and 'maid point' in sleep, but the words were vague, and the ancestors of the guards could not understand, so the records are vague."

"Qimai? Acupuncture point? What is that?" Boya was puzzled.

"In the Yin-Yang Dao, everything in the world is formed by the cycle of 'Yin' and 'Yang'. I think the 'Qi Vessels' mentioned by the Baishi Zongbu are the tracks of these 'Qi' running between the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers. As for the 'maid point', it may be the place where multiple 'qi' gather and circulate." Qingming replied.

"I see." Boya nodded, "But I still don't know what this has to do with Gu Zang, or the purpose of the Baishi sect."

The three fell silent for a while.

"Qimai...Qi..." Qingming closed his eyes and muttered these words in a low voice, suddenly seemed to remember something, and shouted "ah".

"What's the matter, Seimei? What did you think of?"

"Do you still remember that Gu Zang took four Shura orbs from the 'Sky Ghost City'?"

"Yes."

"Master Baoxian, you should have heard the legend about the Shura Orb."

"Yes, it is said that it is one of the treasures of the 'Fujin Sun God', which can be used to condense resentment."

"That's right, the Asura Orb is also related to 'Qi'."

Bao Xian frowned and thought for a while: "You mean, Gu Zang wants to use the Shura Orb to do something with Heian Jing's 'Qi'?"

"Yes."

"Qingming, don't be a fool, just tell me what you think." Boya said.

"I heard that there are some brilliant alchemists in the Tang Dynasty who can predict the fate of the country according to the flow of energy veins, and even change them. If Gu Zang has learned this technique..."

"You mean, Gu Zang wants to use 'Qi' to change the fate of this Heian-kyo?"

"Although it is not certain yet, it is possible."

"How could such a thing happen..." Boya murmured.

"If it's just an ordinary feng shui technique, you can also dabble in yin and yang, but the technique of using energy channels to change your luck against the sky is extremely profound, and even I or Lord Baoxian can't do it."

"But in the materials about 'Baishi Shinto' handed down from the beginning, there is no record that they will use this technique."

"Perhaps the Baishi sect deliberately concealed it, just like Gu Zang. Before that, we knew nothing about his existence."

"Well……"

"But what will Gu Zang do?" Boya tilted his head, "Even if we know that he is going to use 'qi' to change Heian-kyo, but we don't know how he will implement it, we can't have a countermeasure. Moreover, we can't even deal with him now. I don't know where."

The three were silent again.

Boya was right, even if they analyzed Gu Zang's purpose, they are still in a completely passive position.

At this moment, there was a sudden change in the enchantment.

"It seems... Although we don't know where the props are hidden, we will soon know what will happen next." Qingming said.

The person who came was Boya's entourage, Junhong.

"Lord Boya! It's not good! There was a sudden news from the palace that His Majesty's health suddenly changed, and the imperial doctors were helpless. Please hurry up and have a look, Lord Qingming!"
