Onmyoji Love Curse Volume

"Lord Boya! You... you woke up! Great! Really great!"

Seeing Boya finally sober, Junhong wept with joy.

Even Baoxian standing at the door was surprised.

Although Qingming has always been very firm about Boya's awakening, Baoxian has always been skeptical.After all, as an onmyoji, he knows how difficult it is for ordinary people to free themselves from their enchanted dreams with their own strength.

However, Baoxian at this moment had to admit that this Mr. Boya was really extraordinary, and Seimei really knew him very well.

Boya sat up and looked around the room, only to see Junhong and Baoxian, but Qingming was nowhere to be seen.

"Lord Baoxian, where is Seimei?"

When Baoxian heard this, his face became heavy, and he hesitated to speak several times, not knowing how to speak.

"Master Baoxian, where is Seimei?"

Boya asked again.

"He... is now in his mansion."

"I'm going to find him."

"I'm afraid you won't see him right now."

"Why is this?"

Baoxian sighed, then shook his head, and pointed to the sky outside: "I think it might be better for you to confirm it with your own eyes."

Ever since he woke up and didn't see Qingming, Boya felt a faint uneasiness in his heart.Today's constitutional response has intensified that feeling.

Regardless of his weak body that had been lying down for several days, Boya gritted his teeth and came to the door, and was shocked by the sight in front of him.

The bright night sky, which should have been a bright moon hanging high, is now full of coquettish and strange black energy, like a black snake swimming in the night sky.

All the black air is concentrated in a certain direction, and a huge black air column has formed there, with black waves rolling on its surface from time to time, heading straight into the sky.

Not only that, there was a strong wind blowing in the entire Heian capital, and the sound of the wind contained the sound of mournful weeping, like a ghost crying, which can be described as extremely terrifying.

But what worried Boya the most was the direction of the black column of air.

It was Seimei's residence near Tsuchimikado-dori.

"Master Baoxian, this...what's going on?!"

"It seems that the ghost gate has been opened."

"The gate of hell is open? What do you mean? And did you just say that Qingming is now in that pillar of energy? What happened? Lord Baoxian, please tell me!"

Bao Xian was silent for a while, and finally sighed: "Forget it, anyway, you will know about this matter sooner or later."

Now that Boya has woken up, he will definitely find out the root cause of this.Faced with his anxious questioning, Baoxian finally decided to tell the whole truth, even though it might make Boya feel painful.

"Lord Boya, this Heian capital is actually guarded by two barriers."

"Double barrier?"

"The first barrier is the enchantment formed by the four gods located in the four directions of Heianjing."

The so-called four gods are the four holy spirits of Suzaku in the south, Xuanwu in the north, Qinglong in the east, and white tiger in the west.

The reason why Emperor Huanwu chose to move the capital to Heianjing was also because there is a place corresponding to the four gods here, and the feng shui is excellent.Therefore, after moving the capital, he ordered people to set up sacrificial places in four places to obtain the protection of the power of the four gods.

"The enchantment of the four gods has a strong inhibitory effect on ordinary ghosts, so although there are many ghosts in Heianjing, they can barely coexist with the human world and maintain a balance." Baoxian explained, "However, the enchantment of the four gods is not strong. Unbreakable."

Boya listened with bated breath, waiting for him to continue.

"If the place where the four gods worship is polluted by resentment, the spirits of the four gods will fall into a deep sleep, and the enchantment of the four gods will also fail. Unfortunately, Gu Zang used the Shura orb to change the air veins and spread resentment. Even the Land of the Four Gods was not spared—no, it should be said, that was his intention from the beginning."

"So what you mean is that the enchantment of the Four Gods has expired now?"

Baoxian nodded helplessly: "Once the barrier of the four gods is broken, the ghosts in Ping'an capital and human forces will lose their balance, and the most likely result is that the gates of hell will open wide, and the ghosts in the ghost world will rush out and swallow Ping'an capital." .”

"Could it be that this is the purpose of Gu Zang?"

"No, according to Seimei and I's speculation, Gu Zang's purpose may be more than that." Baoxian said, "Seimei judged that Gu Zang probably wanted to devour the ghosts and ghosts while the gate of hell was wide open, and become a ghost. Become the ghost emperor, become the existence that dominates the Yin and Yang realms!"

"What?! Gu Zang, can he do such a thing?" Boya was shocked.

"People who eat mermaid meat can indeed do it." Baoxian replied solemnly, "Because immortality is the strongest curse. They can resist all grievances. In other words, they can Use your own body as a container to carry grievances."

Boya couldn't help but recall Qingyin helping Qingming save Prince Dunping.No wonder Qingming transferred the vengeful spirit attached to Prince Dunping into Qingyin's body at that time, because she ate mermaid meat and could bear all vengeful spirits and curses.

"My lord, what about the second barrier you mentioned?"

Bao Xian did not answer directly, but asked: "Master Boya, do you know why Qingming's mansion was built there?"

"I... I don't know."

Boya only knew that Seimei lived on Tuyumon Daji, but he never thought about why Seimei lived there.Is there any reason for this?

"Gen in the northeast, alternating yin and yang, is the 'ghost gate'. In other words, the location of the 'ghost gate' in Heianjing is in Seimei's mansion."

"What... what?!"

"Guarding the location of the 'Ghost Gate' is the mission of our line of Onmyoji passed down from generation to generation. Each generation of Onmyoji must select the most suitable successor to continue this mission. The previous generation was my father He Maozhongxing, and his The chosen successor is Seimei." Baoxian recalled the past, "However, guarding does not mean guarding. Each generation of onmyojis guarding the 'ghost gate' can judge for themselves-if they think that this Heian capital is not worth guarding, then they can Let the gate of hell open wide, we, as onmyojis, have our own way to retreat; but if he wants to protect this peaceful capital..."

"What will happen then?"

"In that case, it is necessary to activate the 'Yin-Yang Destiny Transformation Formation', re-seal the gate of ghosts, and return the world to peace." Baoxian looked at Boya, and said word by word, "Master Boya, Qingming is determined to protect this peaceful capital. Because this is where you are, and that's where you want to be."

Boya's heart was strongly impacted, his mind went blank, and he almost couldn't stand still.

After a while, he asked slowly: "Master Baoxian, if Qingming activates the 'Yin-Yang Destiny Transformation', what will happen to him?"

Bao Xian was silent for a while, and said: "'Yin Yang Destiny Transformation' requires strong spiritual power to support it, and if an onmyoji wants to release his most powerful spiritual power to seal the ghost gate, he must sacrifice his life. Therefore, Seimei...will die."

At this moment in Seimei's mansion, the black air billowing out from the split peach wood is constantly pouring towards Gu Zang's body.

"Hahahaha, Qingming, now that I have absorbed so much power of resentment, your little enchantment here is simply vulnerable!"

"When did I say I was going to use an enchantment to stop you?" Qingming still kept a smile on his face.

Before Gu Zang had time to ponder the deep meaning of Qingming's words, he suddenly felt that the breath in his body was stagnant, and it seemed that the resentment could no longer enter his body.He was startled, and looked down at his feet, only to realize that he and the entrance to the ghost gate had been surrounded by a huge platycodon mark.

"This is……?!"

"When the gate of ghosts opens, the formation will open. Guzang, you are already in the 'Yin-Yang Destiny Transformation Formation'." Qingming said sharply, and his expression became very serious.

Gu Zang was stunned for a while, and then laughed wildly: "Hahahaha, I didn't expect you to use such a formation for this peace capital! Abe Seimei, I thought you were a smart person."

"Gu Zang, you don't understand the feelings of someone you want to protect."

Seimei made a seal with his hands and began to chant the mantra. The huge platycodon seal glowed intensely, and the flow of resentment around him gradually slowed down.

And the entrance to the ghost gate, which was originally wide open, is gradually shrinking.
