Hanamaru Shrine under construction

The picturesque Arashiyama Bamboo Forest is also one of the famous mass graves in Heian-kyo. Kyogoku Natsuhiko once said in Xiangshuubaimonugatari: [This place in Kyoto is actually surrounded by dead bodies.It's not that there are many cemeteries, but that there are many corpses-you see, the capital is surrounded by mountains on three sides.These mountains are not places where people live.Both Pommel Horse and Bimin Mountain are guarded by ghost gates.The same goes for other hills. ]

The fact is, as Kyogoku Natsuhiko said, Heian-kyo is like this. Under the cover of the hard work of the inspectors, the place that the nobles and ministers cannot see, the mountain of corpses surrounds Heian-kyo, which is guarded by the four gods. Without the yin qi that has skyrocketed in recent days, it is impossible for the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk to disappear.Onmyoji can exorcise haunting ghosts, but it is difficult to remove the darkness of the human heart before new victims appear.

If the country's politics is clear and the people live and work in peace and contentment, most of the monsters and ghosts in this world will be gone, and the monsters who cannot gather negative power will be greatly reduced in strength. Can't make waves.But the reality is that even though they know the reasons for the current situation, people in high positions still don’t repent. The corpses outside Ping’an Beijing are piled up every day, and the resentment breeds more ghosts, but the nobles are still dreaming and dying in the square inch of heaven, afraid of death. Right and wrong can only be repented when death is imminent.Just like the emperor, he was so afraid of being tormented by the ghost that he couldn't sleep at night, but the number of beauties in the harem continued unabated. This dog can't stop eating shit, and he deserves retribution.

The bamboo forest in Lanshan is still a mass grave full of bones, but no one knows that apart from the dead and monsters, a god has stayed here for a long time.

"Here again..."

The wind dragon hovered in the sky and muttered to itself. There was a bird-headed woman standing on its body. Although she was dressed in human clothes and had a human body, her hands and feet were still bird wings and claws.Unable to see other emotions from her bird-like face, she spread her wings on the wind dragon, took the flying little owl into her arms, and used her feathers to warm the cold body of the abandoned cub.

Yimulian stood on the path in the bamboo forest, watching a few nobles in gorgeous clothes throw the barrel down the slope, crying, and then left without looking back.The wooden barrel that was thrown down the hillside was broken open in the middle of its fall, and some babies inside and the barrel for collecting corpses rolled down beside Fengshen together.He looked down at the child who had lost his breath, and sighed helplessly. At his feet, there were corpses of varying degrees all over the mountains and plains.

"Ugh-"

The little owl in Guhuo Bird's arms screamed, as if crying in grief.

Yimulian closed his eyes, the wind rose from his side, kicked up the soil, and buried the corpses in the ground.

In the Heian era, children who died prematurely under the age of seven were not eligible for funerals, and even the sons of ministers would be thrown in the mountains so casually.And some dead babies will spit out souls from their mouths, and they will attach to owls and become monsters.These ghouls do little more than trip passers-by as they step across their burial ground.These babies who had just been born in the world and then left were thrown into mass graves. They had no cemetery, no names, and what they did after they turned into ghosts was just flying, flying, and searching There is a home where the family lives.

"It's okay, baby, mother found you." Guhuo bird's wings wrapped the young owl cub, its whining sound gradually weakened, and it closed its eyes in its mother's warm embrace.After an unknown amount of time, clear souls like fireflies flew out of the little owl's body, and they chased behind Gui Shibai, flowed into the underworld and entered reincarnation again.

Becoming a mother again and again, sending off the child again and again, Gu Huo Niao keeps repeating this cycle, but she enjoys it.

Seeing another child being taken away, bloodshot eyes appeared in Guhuo Niao's eyes. She calmed down and said, "Master Fengshen, thank you for your willingness to help me." Weakness also caused a large number of babies to be infected with filth and died just after they were born.If it weren't for the enchantment of Youmulian, these infant spirits would have been caught and eaten by some monsters when they left their bodies, and it was too late to enter reincarnation.

Yimulian nodded, there was only so much he could do.

"I heard from Fenglong that you saved a child in Sanchong earlier." Gu Huo Niao asked with concern.

Knowing what Gu Huoniao was worried about, she smiled at Yimulian, nodded and said, "Yes, she's fine." Thinking of how she was at a loss when she saw Xianyu last time, and desperately trying to help him, Yimulian could see what she was doing. The smile became even stronger.It's great to be able to stay in the human world, and to meet such a lovely soul.How lucky he is to be cared for by others.

Hearing what Fengshen said, Guhuo Niao knew that the child was safe and sound. She remembered this in her heart, then flew to the branch, and put back the little owl that no longer had a baby spirit in her arms.

[Wish... I hope that Lord Fengshen can become a powerful god that will never dissipate...]

The sudden voice in his head made Yimulian stop in his tracks. He closed his eyes and listened to the voice of his young believer through Ben Pingling.

[Find the Forging God...]

Yimulian opened his eyes suddenly, with a complicated look on his face.

"Forging God..."

Why, would she think of this to each other?

The wind dragon on one side suddenly heard the word forging god, and immediately slid down from the air. It swung its tail, wrapped it around Yimulian's neck, and said, "Wow... I haven't heard this word for many years, but now... forging god It is no longer possible to exist in this world. But why do you suddenly mention this erased priesthood? Could it be that someone called the God of Blacksmithing... That's impossible, how can human beings get rid of the influence of the curse and think of the God of Blacksmithing?"

"I don't know..." Yimu didn't even know himself.

Fenglong didn't know what to say. It hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help asking, "Then Master Yimulian, what if someone really asks for help from the Forging God, that priesthood is no longer there."

Looking back at Fenglong, he said at a glance, "The forging god is gone, but the craftsman Tianjin Maro is still there." Fengshen had changed his form while speaking, his long hair spread out, and it turned into dark black from the roots. The light-colored kimono he was wearing also turned into a red unlined garment and a black soldier's robe, with waves embroidered on the hem.Only half of the left and right burqas are on, revealing the body armor and one-shoulder sleeves and caged hands.His hand ran across the paper-shaped girdle, and the lower thread of the saber was tied to it.

Yes, without divine power, there is still the skill of being a craftsman.

But before that, he needs to gather enough strength to complete the forging.

……

Xianyu didn't wait for the forging god. The day before Yimulian's departure, she also received a notice from Tadashi Kamo, asking her to go to Arashiyama with Mikazuki Zongjin and Saya Zuomonji for training in identifying monsters.

It is difficult to understand the psychological pressure caused by the gap in strength between humans and monsters just by knowing them on paper. In order to prevent young onmyojis from being timid and unable to use spells after seeing monsters in actual combat, Adults usually train them.However, most people use youkai shikigami or gyoshiro instead of wild monsters at home. Tadyuki Kamo is also a daring artist, and he even took his young apprentices to Arashiyama for actual combat.

Due to the fact that he was locked in the palace some time ago because of the emperor's taboo, Laikou got some vacations, but the main reason was that Mr. Fujiwara, who was also forced to confine himself, finally took action. He arranged for the eminent monk of Kiyomizu Temple He gave the emperor chanting scriptures in turn to provide psychological counseling. With these masters, he didn't have to hang on to Raikou and Tadano all the time.

With the free time, Laiguang finally had time to continue investigating the matter of You Chizi, so this time he went with Xianyu, intending to continue the search of Arashiyama while protecting the little ones.

During this trip to Arashiyama, Laiguang changed his attire and put on a lighter samurai outfit. He brought a bow and arrow, and specially rolled down one sleeve and put it in his belt. Seeing Xianyu looking over curiously, he smiled and said "What's wrong, Yuji?"

"Why only one sleeve?" Xianyu asked curiously.Chinese military generals in TV dramas often do this too, wearing a one-sided burqa outside their armor, which is called left and right.Yimulian's skin of Fengshen Zhiyou in the game also has this shape.

"It's convenient, whether it's when using a knife or a bow." Laiguang put on his clothes as he said, and then raised his bow and arrow to demonstrate. Sure enough, the long sleeves are very obstructive at this time. If one end of the bow and arrow is not careful will hit the sleeve.But in the moment when every second counts on the battlefield, a moment's delay is fatal.After the explanation, Lai Guang took back his bow and arrow, and said, "Yu Ji can try it with a knife, but the sleeve is too long and it will be a hindrance."

As soon as Raikou finished speaking, Watanabe Tsuna pulled out his mustache, handed it to Xianyu, and said, "Ji-kun."

Unexpectedly, she would come into contact with Higiri like this, Xianyu stretched out her hand to hold the handle of the knife, but the Taidao was not only long but also heavy for her, she used both hands to lift the blade up, she struggled With a wave, the raised sleeve almost hit him in the face.She hurriedly put down the knife, and said to Watanabe Tsuna, "That...Uncle Tsuna, if Hikakiri can be deified..." She wanted to find out.

"Don't dare! Please call me by my first name." Tsuna Watanabe, who was called uncle, reminded me sincerely, and then returned to the original topic, saying, "As long as his avatar is not a woman, otherwise..." Watanabe Gang felt a little embarrassed when he said that, after all, these warriors never left their bodies with their swords, eating, sleeping, urinating and so on.

Higakiri was lent to Watanabe Tsuna by Raikou, and this knife will return to him sooner or later. Hearing the conversation between his daughter and Tsuna, as the real master, Raimitsu frowned and said, "It's better if it's a woman." He is more dependent on Sanriyue than on himself.

Watanabe Tsuna looked at his lord in shock, never expecting you to be such Raimitsu-sama.

"Hahahaha, everyone is here, I've been waiting for a long time." Sanriyue came out of the yard slowly with Xiaoye before leaving, with snacks in his hand, and waved to Xianyu, "Yes." Chestnut cake, do you want Yuji to try it?" The latter immediately forgot that he was late because he spoiled Xiaoye, happily moved over and squeezed a mouthful into his mouth, and stuffed a few pieces into Xiaoye's mouth before holding a piece in each of his left and right hands. Climbed back into the bullock cart under the signal of the attendant.

As a dagger, Xiaoye also followed Xianyu into the bullock cart under Laiguang's instruction, for personal protection.

San Riyue took back the dim sum with a smile, measured it against his sleeve, and handed the small parcel containing the dim sum to Xianyu in the bullock cart, saying, "If you ride a horse, it will be crushed."

Xianyu quickly stuffed the two pieces in his mouth, put the small cloth bag he handed over into his arms, swallowed desperately, and said, "I won't steal it, we will eat it together when we get to Lanshan." .”

Sanriyue smiled and nodded, looking forward to it, the young Lord Qingming and... Shaman King.

The major general's mansion became quiet after Xianyu and Laiguang left. The two masters took away most of the people in the mansion, leaving only Tsuna Watanabe, the head of the Four Heavenly Kings, and a group of attendants.In order to prevent the only surviving retrograde army being imprisoned from escaping during the garrison gap, Tsuna Watanabe carefully explained that the guards below are not allowed to be lazy, and went to the attic to take care of the retrograde army in person.

When he went upstairs, one of the attendants who had just been sternly explained murmured dissatisfiedly, "It's all the fault of Mrs. Yu Ji. We are so tired that we have caused this kind of monster."

His partner hurriedly signaled him to shut up, saying, "You can't say that, this may be aimed at Master Laiguang."

The attendant who just spoke curled his lips and snorted, "Anyway, it's Gui Ji, causing trouble. If it weren't for her, Lord Raikou wouldn't be said to have had an affair with a Rashomon ghost. Now I have to ask the adults of the Ka Mo family to teach Yin Yang, the woman Learning these things, people in Beijing will definitely laugh when they know about it.”

Tsuna Watanabe in the attic, as a human being, did not hear what they said in a low voice. After greeting the guards in the attic, he opened the sliding door, but when he entered, the mustache on his waist suddenly turned. Hitting the door panel.The blade swayed violently with the momentum, and then there was a crisp sound of kara. Watanabe Tsuna lowered his head, and saw the mustache on his waist slipped out of the scabbard, and slid straight through the wooden boards on the second floor go down.

There were screams from the first floor.

Tsuna Watanabe's face turned pale, and he hurried downstairs, and saw mustache rubbing between the legs of the attendant who spoke just now, and at the same time, a bloodstain appeared on the bridge of the man's nose, just a little bit, he would be chopped into pieces two halves.And the fabric of the man's crotch had been completely cut by the knife, he was frightened to death, and kept moving his butt backwards while covering his bottom.

As a samurai, this is really outrageous, Watanabe Tsuna frowned in disgust, and ordered the man to go back to recuperate, and then walked over to pull out the mustache that fell from the second floor, with half of the blade embedded in the floor.
