Hanamaru Shrine under construction

Minamoto Yorimitsu asked Onmyoji Kamo Takayuki to divination about the location of Uohime, and rushed all the way from Heiankyo to Ichimoren Shrine in Mie Prefecture. Even though he was riding a horse with all his strength, it took two full days to reach the destination. During the period, it was inevitable. A lot of time was wasted choosing the way or even opening the way.

The Fengshen Shrine has long been abandoned, and the civilians have also moved to other places. The paths they left in the forest that were originally marked on the map have no traces at all.Under such circumstances, the only way to go up the mountain is to drag the horse on foot. Naturally, it is impossible to prepare a more comfortable means of transportation such as a bullock cart. Therefore, when going back, Yu Ji will inevitably be placed on the back of the horse with her face pressed leave.Fortunately, she is still in a coma because of absorbing the blood of the gods, otherwise she would wake up and see herself in the arms of a stranger, and she might be shocked to the vault.

After leaving the forest, Minamoto Yorimitsu's subordinate Tsuna Watanabe suggested: "My lord, do you want to go to Ise Shrine to meet the current Prince Saio Kishinai? Ji-kun stayed in the forest alone for two days, so it must be With the blessing of the wind god, and also received a lot of fright, it is better to cultivate for a period of time in the Ise Shrine before leaving."

"No need." Laikou looked down at Yuji and rejected Watanabe Tsuna's proposal.

The so-called Saio is the queen who serves Amaterasu on behalf of the royal family at Ise Shrine and Kamo Shrine. During special periods, there will also be noble daughters who are selected through mirror occupancy.During his tenure, Saioh, as a priestess, must ensure that his body and mind are clean. The former childish Empress Hime once chose to commit suicide in order to prove her innocence.Moreover, the position of King Saio is sacred, but his practice life is much more difficult than that of ordinary noble girls, and he has to stay in the Nonomiya Shrine to bathe for three years before assuming the throne.Not only that, if the normal Saio wants to step down, he can only wait for the emperor to change or the death of a close relative.

In recent days in Heian-kyo, there have been rumors that the emperor intends to elect a new Saioh to replace his daughter Koko. Kamoo Tadyuki, who has a close relationship with Minamoto Yorimitsu, also revealed that the Onmyo-ryo fortune-telling shows that Heian-kyo is about to experience a life-or-death disaster.If there is nothing wrong with the divination, Saio, who is the priestess of Amaterasu, will inevitably have to take responsibility.

In this way, it makes sense that the emperor wants to find someone to succeed Saiwang. Not only is he worried about his daughter's safety, but also for the sake of the overall situation. In response to disasters, after all, no one in this generation of princesses has spiritual power.Although Yu Ji is young now, she doesn't have to worry about being favored by the gods for the time being, but after all, she is one of the rare ladies with strong spiritual power.Laiguang had no intention of letting his only daughter get involved in this turmoil, so he tried to avoid letting her get in touch with it.

Due to scruples in his heart, even though he was quite tired from traveling day and night, Laiguang still chose to rush back to Kyoto without stopping.So when Uohime woke up, she had already been brought back to the mansion of Raimitsu in Jingyuan, Heian.When she opened her eyes, what she was facing was not the main hall of the dilapidated shrine, but Kashiro painted with flowers and butterflies. The bottom coat lay on her body, which also turned into an imperial tent with a gorgeous apron.

"..." Xianyu scratched his head in bewilderment.It feels like the thesaurus in my brain is automatically updated when I wake up, and there are more Heian era language packs for some reason.This drove Xianyu crazy, she felt that she was no longer an ordinary salted fish, but a cultured salted fish.

Speaking of which, where is this? Wasn't she at the shrine just now?

Did Yu Ji's family find her?

Xianyu is a little uneasy, but hunger does not allow her to escape at this time, and what should be faced must be faced.Stretching out her hand to cover her convulsed stomach, Xianyu hurriedly got up from the tatami, stretched out her head while holding the curtain, and carefully looked outside, only after finding that she was the only one in the room did she boldly go out .

For Xianyu who likes to pile up pillows in the bedroom, the room in the Heian period seemed a bit empty, except for the imperial tent for sleeping, other utensils were also separated.She went around a screen, and behind it was a writing desk at a height suitable for children, with pens, ink, paper and inkstones in the half-opened inkstone box above it.Xianyu, who was not interested in these things, walked out of the screen, and the hem of his clothes brushed across the Wujiaotai beside him, and his sleeves were soaked by the rice soup in the slop cup used to wash his hair.Seeing this, Xianyu could only stop and twist the cuff, and rolled it around his arm again.

Next, Xianyu became more careful when walking, and finally realized that what she is wearing now is not a neat shorts and vest, but a small skirt that someone changed into at some point.She felt like a humanoid self-walking mop now, the long and thick clothes scraping the ground as she walked.

All the rooms are only separated by shojis that can be pulled and closed. Xianyu wandered around a little confused. After finally seeing the light, she directly opened the bamboo curtain and got out from below.After leaving the room, Xianyu standing in the corridor finally breathed fresh air. Although the incense in the room smells good, it will only make you feel stuffy if you stay for a long time.

Stretching out her hand to rub her stomach, the hungry and dizzy Xianyu just wanted to find something to eat. She looked around, and saw a woman in a pansy dress standing with her back facing her in front of the flowers in the garden. Clothes, women with long hair mopping the floor.Xianyu turned around in shock at first and wanted to run away, but then stopped. Now that she has become a child like this, where can she run if she wants to run away? How can she survive alone?

Considering such a practical problem, Xianyu stopped, turned around again, walked towards the woman, and said, "Well, this eldest sister...isn't it Miss? Ma'am? May I bother you?" huh..." Embarrassed, even with Yu Ji's Japanese thesaurus, she still doesn't know how to address each other.

Fortunately, the woman who heard the voice raised her head and turned around slowly.However, when Xianyu saw her face, he froze in place.

Because it was a woman without a face.

In an instant, the blood from Xianyu's body seemed to be sucked away, she seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, not only cold, but also lost the ability to move.She could only open her eyes wide, watching the faceless woman appear in front of her in the blink of an eye, the strong smell of blood poured into Xianyu's nostrils, her sharp claws approached Xianyu's face, and then, the fleshy lump A terrible mouth grew out of the face, and when it opened, it revealed a scarlet tongue and hideous black teeth.

[Where...where...where...hateful...three...]

At the moment when the claw was about to pierce her cheek, a crisp bell sounded in Xianyu's arms, and a white dragon with red mane flew out from the Benping bell she brought from the shrine. The dragon only appeared for a moment , it turned into a phantom and attached to Xianyu, the moment the faceless woman touched her, the dragon flashed red, and the faceless woman let out a scream, and was ejected entirely.

This picture is too familiar...

"Wind God..."

Xianyu was stunned.

"Blessing of the Wind God"

That was the skill of the shikigami, Fengshen Yimuren, who had helped her clear several levels in modern times.

The faceless girl who was knocked into the air burst into pieces. It's a pity that Fengshen's power has declined now, otherwise the multiplied damage and divine power would be enough to wipe her out.Perhaps because she realized that the gods that protected Xianyu could not kill her, the Faceless Woman did not retreat. The wounds on her body healed quickly, and the corners of her mouth were opened, and a large amount of corrosive saliva flowed out.

"Little fish!"

Before the faceless girl could get close to Xianyu again, Minamoto Raimitsu, who had returned from the palace, had already rushed back. Seeing the monster in the courtyard and his daughter kneeling on the ground, he immediately pulled out the Taidao knee pill from his waist , directly split the faceless woman in half.Minamoto Raimitsu himself is a general with spiritual power. He has killed countless ghosts in his life, and he is not afraid of being retaliated, but he has implicated his family.

Killing the Faceless Girl didn't leave any traces on Genji Shigeho-Kenmaru, and the bodily fluids of monsters that could melt stones couldn't damage the blade.Minamoto Raimiko withdrew the sword, without even looking at the lump of meat, he walked quickly towards Yu Ji, only to find that his daughter, who had finally regained consciousness, had passed out again.

Minamoto Raimitsu: I want to go back and chop up some garbage monsters! !

……

Xianyu didn't faint out of fear, the faceless woman's attack was like a switch, causing the flood of memories belonging to Yuji to burst instantly. The experience of more than 7 years poured directly into Xianyu's soul, causing her to have a splitting headache, and she lost consciousness unbearably.

...

Yu Ji.

She is the daughter of Minamoto Raiko, a well-known general in Heian-kyo, but she has no mother.

The nobles in the Heian period practiced wife-visiting marriage. After the woman became an adult, she moved out of the house and moved into the new house built by her father to communicate with different men. Then the family determined the marriage contract. Will give birth to a child in her natal family and raise it up.But Yu Ji didn't know who her mother was, and she was also a rare child raised by her father.

During the time when she was young and ignorant, Yu Ji was still happy, but when she began to understand the truth and had to learn how to communicate, the happiness also left her.

At first, the children from other families would only laugh at her as a motherless bastard.But later, as Uohime's father, Minamoto Raimitsu was appreciated by the emperor, his official position continued to rise, and he was even appointed as a major general of Konoe.So the jealous adults began to spread vicious rumors.Those words also spread through the mouths of the children.

Uohime, who was just born that year, was escorted to Heian-kyo by Minamoto Tsuna Watanabe, and on that night, Watanabe Tsuna also happened to meet Ibaraki Doji, the ghost of Rashomon who turned into a beautiful woman, and told Minamoto Tsuna The famous sword Hikari bestowed by Hikari cut off Ibaraki Doji's arm.This should have made Genji proud, but it also became the source of Yu Ji's pain.

Because of that coincidence, Yu Ji began to be called Rashomon's ghost girl.

Some people say that she is actually the child of Watanabe Tsuna and Ibaraki Doji, after all, Ibaraki is both male and female in the legend.However, due to Watanabe Tsuna's low appearance, most people choose to believe in another more romantic legend.

Major General Yuan, who slays demons and demons, had a past with the beauty transformed by Doji Ibaraki. Major General Yuan, who realized the identity of Ibaraki ghost, chose to leave.After Ibaraki gave birth to a child, it was difficult to break through the barrier of Heian-kyo, so he entrusted Watanabe Tsuna to bring the child back to Major General Minamoto.Otherwise, how could Minamoto Raimitsu be willing to reward (actually loan) Genji Shigebo's mustache to Tsuna Watanabe.
