The shikigami returned to Heian-kyo.A total of more than 700 people.Among these youkai, there are more than 300 shikigami whose masters are alive.Whether or not their master still wants them, these 1000+ shikigami at least have somewhere to go.

The remaining 400 shikigami have all been imprisoned for hundreds of years or even longer.Their master is long dead.The contract has been terminated.

A few hundred years is not a short time for a monster.Freedom was suddenly restored, and they stood on the streets of Heian-kyo, not knowing where to go for a moment.

The Suzaku Avenue in front of them was full of traffic, and they seemed to be left here, silently watching this familiar yet unfamiliar world.

They have long been driven by humans against their own kind.There is no way to return to the previous life with the heart of a monster.

The world is changing so fast, they looked at the young children eating wagashi in amazement for a long time.But when they become shikigami again, the horror of being discarded makes them no longer trust the group of onmyoji.

Humans can't see them, have no staple food, no attention, they stand like orphans on Suzaku Avenue.From a shikigami to a wild monster, it was difficult to adapt to his new identity for a while.

"Well, you're still standing here. Your lord is right." A man carrying a bone blade appeared in the air, wearing a new dark suit, looking at the dazed shikigami.

"If someone has no place to go, they can live in Suzuka Mountain in Ise. I am the owner of Suzuka Mountain, and I allow you to live there."

"You haven't been back for more than 100 years, maybe the owner has changed there long ago." Next to him, a man appeared again, wearing clothes with his arms exposed, and his hair was tied in a bunch at the back of his head casually. "It's better to go to my Dajiangshan, Xingxiong boy is stationed there, and I will arrange you properly."

The shikigami's dull and lifeless eyes gradually became brighter.

"It's Otake Maru, Otake Maru, the owner of Suzuka Mountain."

"It's Shuten-douji, I recognize his gourd."

"They invited us to settle down. Is it really okay? Is it really possible to settle down in Mt. Oe or Mt. Suzuka?"

"I heard that these two mountains are very rich, but wild monsters outside are never allowed to enter."

"But this is what the ghost king of Dajiangshan and the owner of Suzukashan said personally, we can live here."

"Of course you can live," Dayake Maru said with a smile, "but remember, this gift is given to you by my master, Shimizu Rikako. If you can, please remember this surname and repay her in the future."

Lizi didn't know her name was passed on like this.She just asked Shuten and Otakemaru, do Oeyama and Suzukayama need monsters?This unintentional move has left unimaginable blessings for her descendants.

But Lizi has no time to think about her descendants now, she is explaining to Qingming what happened in the small black room in her room.

"So that's how it is." Qingming said with a smile, "Everyone entered the little black room one after another looking for the big demon to be a shikigami. But they found nothing. Xiaoli, you didn't have this idea, but got the shikigami instead. This is what Tang said, Wuxin Let's plant willows and willows to make shade."

"What interests me is, why did Yamata no Orochi do this?" Riko said, "I asked him if the one hidden in his body was my brother's soul. He didn't admit it. But what he did, It's something a brother would do."

"If he denies it like this, then it shouldn't be." Qingming said calmly, "No matter who the other party is, he has no malice towards you. This is probably the only thing he wants you to know."

Pear is still frowning tightly.

"Don't think too much about it." Qingming said, "Because of you, the relationship between Onmyoji and shikigami has changed drastically. I think your name will be written into the history of Onmyoji."

"From today onwards, onmyojis can no longer throw away shikigami at will in the small black house, let alone use the small black house as a threat to enslave the shikigami. Because of you, the treatment of the shikigami is much better than before Too much. I think Onmyoji will pay more and more attention to the relationship with shikigami."

"That's really great." Lizi said with a smile, "Master Seimei couldn't disagree anymore, so he threw Suzaku into the small dark room."

"Yeah," Qingming said with a smile in his eyes, "you must curry favor with her in the future." He took out a small box while talking, "There is nothing to do in Yinyang Liao for the time being. It is not my job to deal with the aftermath."

"Memory fragments?" Lizi looked at the contents in the box.

"Yeah," Qingming picked up one piece with chopsticks and put it on the table. "There are two pieces left. Let's read them all today, or I will keep this thing in my heart. I am worried that the memory before going back will happen again."

"Okay." Lizi stretched out her hand and put her fingers on it with Qingming.

At the moment of touching, Lizi was brought back to that memory.

This is a place that eliminates all noise and is as quiet as a deep pool.The silence breeds fear, because the surroundings are too quiet, making people feel that the air is extraordinarily heavy.

Pear walked barefoot along the dark path.The icy water of the Styx was up to her ankles.

"My lord, please let me go with you." A big tengu's voice came from behind.

She was startled for a moment, then turned around and saw not only Daitengu, but also other Shikigami.Shuten, Ibaraki, Dayake Maru.

"Didn't I tell you not to follow?" She frowned slightly.

"There is no difference between us outside and here." Ibaraki said, "The water of the River Styx outside has spread into the city wall."

"Master Seimei will be angry if you know that you left without saying goodbye." Big Tengu said, he hesitated, "Actually, even if you choose to leave here with him, we won't blame you."

"But I will blame myself. Besides, Seimei would not choose to leave like this." Lizi looked forward, "I will try, maybe there are other ways."

Jiu Tun frowned tightly, "But that little power is not enough to lock the water of the Styx River. You have already used up all your efforts to lock the Shura Gate before."

"Now it's finally full again. You should take this power and leave here with Qingming. Didn't he say that? Lock still has the ability to take you away."

Riko shook her head, "I want to take you away together. Not only you, but also other people I know well. Masaki-sama, Suzaku, Soaring Snake, the group of Naruya at home, and the companions of the shrine...but the lock is locked. The strength cannot carry so many people."

Jiu Tun stretched his brows and eyes, and smiled slightly, "We're fine. At least I'm fine. As your shikigami, my only wish is for you to live well. Don't waste the energy of Suo anymore. Use Let it go."

"I'm not wasting, I want to..."

The voice suddenly disappeared, and Shuten's eyes widened in horror...

The surroundings suddenly brightened, and the voices of shikigami talking in the courtyard rushed over.Seimei's face with the same confused look was reflected in Lizi's pupils.

"How did it end?" She asked suspiciously, "Has half of this memory been lost?"

"It looks like this." Qingming came back to his senses, sealed the fragment with a sealing ball again, and held it up to his eyes for a closer look.

Riko put her hands on her cheeks and tried to focus on the fragments.The shard shone with a silvery sheen.There are bumps all around, and this one is much smaller than the other fragments in the box.

"Is it because Yamata no Orochi stirred up the debris at the bottom of the valley?" Lizi guessed, "When we went to pick up the debris, he came out at night to stir up the debris."

"It's bad if that's the case." Seimei said, "The missing part is a very important half. Why are you walking in the water of the River Styx?"

"Is it related to Izanami?" Riko said, "Master Seimei, do you remember that there was an outlet of the Styx River under the original shrine of Inari God. Later, it was completely submerged by the Styx River."

"From this memory, it seems that I want to lock the water of the Styx, but the lock is not strong enough. What I care most about is the last sentence that I didn't finish. What did I say that made Shuten so scared?"

"Isn't it because you feel that you don't have enough strength to fill the wooden sign with Shutun, so he is so frightened?" Qingming said with a smile, "After all, you have done this before."

"I won't use wine to fill the wooden sign," Lizi said, "Anyway, if the Styx water appears in my memory, it must have something to do with Izanami."

Seimei put the fragments aside, "I also think it has something to do with Izanami. It's a pity we can't go to the land of the underworld to check. In the rubbings from the torii gate, there is a sentence that says don't go to the land of the underworld."

Lizi's lips moved slightly, she was just about to say that she would go to the Land of the Underworld to have a look.

"Let's take a look at the last fragment." Seimei said, "After reading the whole thing, we will make calculations."

Pear nodded and put her fingers on the shards.With a sudden flash in front of her eyes, she fell into memories again.

On the high city wall, a girl in an orange kimono sat there in a leisurely posture, her legs hanging down naturally, revealing her smooth calves.

The long black hair pouring down like a waterfall was blown by the wind and fluttered gently.Beside her stood a young man with a wine gourd on his back, his hair was tied up, and the ends of his hair danced wildly in the wind.

"My lord, I heard joyful voices coming from Heianjing," Shuten said.

"Can you hear that far?" Lizi asked in disbelief.

"Of course I can, I'm a monster. After all, the princess is getting married, so I have to walk through Suzaku Avenue at least once. We're so close to Suzaku Avenue, can't you hear us?"

Lizi raised her head slightly, her eyes fixed on the street in the distance.But there was only the whistling wind in my ears, as if someone was crying.

That day she was sitting in the room, listening to the edict read by the servants in the courtyard.Emperor Kimura married Seimei to his beloved daughter Yukiko Hime.

Xueziji went to the countryside to play.Because of her beautiful appearance, she attracts monsters who specialize in collecting beautiful skins.In the end, he was rescued by Seimei who returned from going out.

In a critical moment, it is easiest to fall in love with the person who saves oneself from fire and water.What's more, the other party is still so handsome.So, logically, Yuziji asked her father to marry herself to Qingming.

Jiu Tun looked at it for a while, "My lord, let's go."

"where to?"

"Didn't you agree to go to Dajiangshan?" Jiu Tun said with a smile, "If you get tired of living there, I can accompany you to other places."

Riko nodded and stretched out her hand, Shuten grabbed her hand and pulled her up.

Just as they were about to leave, the air shook violently, and Qingming, dressed in a wedding dress, appeared under the city wall.He raised his head, with coolness in his eyes, "Where are you going?"

Jiu Tun sneered, "Isn't this Prince Yukikonai's husband Abe Seimei? Why did he come here? At this time, the wedding banquet has just begun"

"I didn't greet the bride." Qingming said lightly.

Lizi's gaze, which had been looking elsewhere, suddenly fell on Qingming's face, and she asked in surprise, "If you don't go to welcome the bride, what will Master Yicai do? He is still under pressure in Qingliang Hall."

"I was going to save him. But I was afraid you would run away first." With a faint smile in Qingming's eyes, he stretched out his hands, "You jump down, and I will catch you."

Riko looked at his outstretched hand and shook her head, "That's useless. Even if you save Masaki-sama and get out of here, the Emperor will also spread his anger on the rest of the Abe family. You don't want to implicate innocent people because of yourself Bar?"

Qingming was silent for a while, "Anyway, you come down first."

"You are wearing a wedding dress." Jiu Tun said suddenly.Pear's gaze immediately moved over.The wedding dress for men is a black kimono.Qingming usually also likes to wear dark clothes, so she didn't recognize it.

"I was forced by the servant, and I was going to replace it. But when I saw that Xiaoli was gone, I chased it out before I could change it." Qingming raised his eyes and looked at Jiu Tun, "Do you have anything else to ask?"

"No more." Jiu Tun said, he looked at Riko, "Master, Seimei is wearing a wedding dress, presumably Yukiko Hime is also wearing Shiro Mugou. That Shira Mugou was originally left by Inari God for his future daughter-in-law. "

Lizi lowered her eyes, and a faint anger surged in her heart, "In this case, Lord Qingming, let's go greet the bride."

"Bai Wugou was accidentally said by my father when he was questioned by the emperor. What my father originally meant was that my mother left me Bai Wugou and asked me to give it to the girl I like."

"It means that my marriage is up to me. But when Xue Ziji heard about it, she insisted on having the clothes searched out. I saw that she had touched it, so I didn't want to come back. Xiaoli, it's just a piece of clothing. It's far from mine. Mind matters."

Li Zi just hesitated for a moment, then heard Jiu Tun say next to him, "You should quickly find a way to extinguish the emperor's anger first, and then think about begging my lord. Maybe it won't take long before someone finds out that you are running away from marriage. Masaki Your Excellency is in danger in the palace."

She immediately raised her eyes, "Master Qingming, go and marry Xue Ziji. It's okay if I don't stay with Master Qingming." It just happened to fill in the wooden sign and go home.Don't worry about it.

As soon as the scene changed, Ibaraki and Dayakemaru came to Dajiangshan to look for her with a smile.

"Look, my lord." Ibaraki took off the burden on his back and handed it to Riko.

"What is it?" Lizi looked at the furoshiki soaked in blood, feeling a bad feeling in her heart, "Could you have killed Master Seimei?"

"We really wanted to kill him to relieve my lord," Otakemaru said, "but he was too powerful. Not only did we not beat him, but he also cut off Ibaraki's scorpion. Ootengu was also imprisoned in the courtyard by him, Take care of Teng Snake."

Riko moved her gaze to the top of Ibaraki's head.Sure enough, his favorite hairpin was gone, and his hair was disheveled, looking uneven.

"Seimei said that we have been upset for a long time. If it wasn't for your lord, he would have cut off our heads." Ibaraki said angrily, "So Otakemaru and I sneaked into the palace and chopped off Yukikohime's head." Let the adults relieve their anger."

"I also got back my Sanming Sword." Da Yuemaru showed his divine sword to Li Zi with a smile, "I also used this sword to write on the Emperor's table, we will take Yukikohime's head away."

"Ibaraki-douji." "Dayake Maru." "Your respect." The two teenagers responded simultaneously happily.

Li Zi covered her heart, feeling frightened.She looked at the beautiful Xue Ziji in the past, but now there was only one head left, she was shocked and didn't know what to say.

Jiu Tun frowned tightly, "One fool may not be able to achieve great things. When two fools meet together, they will definitely cause earth-shattering events. My lord was only angry with Qingming before he left and came to Dajiangshan."

"Presumably Seimei will be able to solve all the bad things in his hands very quickly in order to welcome the lord back. He is so cunning, I don't believe this little thing can stump him. But you have completely pushed the lord into a situation where there is no turning back."

Hoshiguma Doji also lamented from the side, "I feel like I have heard the sound of the army's iron hoofs coming. Shuten, let's just kick Ibaraki out of Oeyama, and then tell the emperor that Suzukasan did it all."

"As long as we are your shikigami for a day, we won't be able to get away with it." Shuten said, "Emperor Kimura will definitely put the blame on Shimizu-sama."

"Then what should we do?" Ibaraki looked at Shuten helplessly.

"What else can we do? Get ready to fight." Jiu Tun said coldly.

The screen turned again, and the peaceful mountains and rivers became Shura's battlefield.Because Ibaraki and Dayakemaru killed Yukiko Hime, Emperor Kimura was furious.Abe Seimei's resistance to the decree made him lose face.Every time a killing intent is activated, it will disappear inexplicably in the next second.

But this time, he couldn't take it anymore.Immediately ordered Yuan Laiguang to lead the army and Yinyang Liao to attack Dajiangshan, and must get back the heads of Shimizu Rikako and her shikigami.

There was only a cold light in Minamoto Raimiko's dark eyes, and his four vassals surrounded him, looking at the monsters of Dajiangshan, with excited light on their faces.And the army and onmyojis behind them burst out with terrible fighting spirit.

"You can have a good kill again."

"I hate monsters the most."

The giant dragons gathered around Lizi flew up.The army behind Minamoto Raimiko rushed over with shouts.

The next second the screen changed again.

Riko knelt in front of Ibaraki, healing his broken arm.

Ibaraki was chopped off an arm by Minamoto Yorimitsu Watanabe Tsuna with the famous sword Hakiri.He was already out of breath.Although the pear had already helped him stop the bleeding, he had already lost a lot of blood before that.

"My lord, it's not bleeding anymore."

Lizi pressed his shoulders, "Lie down again."

"But Shuten and the others couldn't stand it, right?" Ibaraki said anxiously, "If it wasn't for your lord, even if you threw the little snake, Jiuten would be beheaded by Minamoto Raimitsu. What's the name of his famous sword? Boy Kirie Yasuna? Is it specially prepared to kill Shuten? It's really disgusting."

Lizi continued to press him, and looked down the mountain, where there was a stalemate.The monsters of Mt. Oe and Mt. Suzuka are less than one-third of Minamoto Raimitsu's army.The emperor sent four grand masters.Onmyoji.There was even He Mao Zhongxing.

"My lord, let me go." Ibaraki begged again.

"Wait." Lizi stood up, looking at the person who appeared in the sky in surprise.There is a slightly sharp white fox mask on his face.Nine huge fox tails fluttered lightly behind him.Around her, cherry-colored fire powder like petals was floating.

That is Tamamo before.

"It doesn't look good." Tamamo said with a smile.

"Tamamo-mae-sama?" Riko said in surprise.

"Shh, keep your voice down," Yuzao's leisurely voice came from her ear, "I have to go back and continue to be my maid after the beating. There is no better place than palace food."

Tamamo transformed into a huge body, and said with a smile, "Let me show you what a real monster is."

A huge nine-tailed fox landed in the army, tearing hundreds of people apart in an instant.Minamoto Raimitsu directed the army to attack with bows and arrows, Tamamomae smiled contemptuously, shook his tail, and set off a strong wind to blow the arrows back.Yuan Laiguang ordered his men to attack with trebuchets.They were also swept back lightly by Yuzao with his tail.

The army lost its spirit and was completely defeated in front of the mighty demon fox.

Minamoto Raimiko had no choice but to run back and ask Yin Yang Liao for support again.Yinyangliao quickly dispatched four leaders.Onmyoji.Even He Mao Zhongxing came.

In the middle of the night, the air in the yard fluctuated.Lizi pushed open the wooden door and saw Seimei and Ebisu God standing in the yard.

Ebisu said: "There is no result in this fight. It hurts innocent lives."

"But if we don't fight, the emperor will still kill me and the shikigami." Riko said.

"I have promised in front of the Emperor," Seimei said, "to return Yukikohime to him completely. He also promised Ebisu God. As long as Yukikohime returns, it will be cancelled. I have already sent my father out of Heiankyo. Wait for this matter." When we're done, we're leaving here."

"However, Xueziji has been dead for too long, and there is no way to recover." Lizi said.

"It's not impossible," Ebisu said, "Go to the land of the underworld now. Bring Yukiko Ji back from the land of the underworld before she is reincarnated. In addition, in Izanami's treasure house, there is a scarlet stone. That stone can bring the dead back to life."

"Izanami has so many treasures, she must not be able to remember that stone. You go and get it, and Yukikoji will be resurrected."

The screen turned again, and the resurrected Yukiko Hime showed off in front of her sisters, "Even Izanami can't take my life away."

This sentence was passed on to Izanami's ears by people with a heart.Izanami who lost the stone was very angry.She sang the curse song with a voice close to the ground, and the singing voice spread in the space by the wind of the underworld.

Black mist rose from the cracks in the rocks at her feet, and hungry ghosts crawled out one by one.At the same time, the ghost messengers released the water of the Styx River in an attempt to flood Heianjing.

Suddenly, the curse song in Lizi's ears disappeared, the Styx in her eyes disappeared, and Seimei's face and the memory fragments on the table reappeared in her pupils.

Lizi was a little dazed, before she could completely separate from the picture in her memory, Seimei let out a sigh of relief, "It turns out that these two fragments are a memory, no wonder Izanami suddenly flooded Heian-kyo. I will put your Let's tie up a few Shikigami."

"Is it convenient for you to save Xue Ziji?" Li Zi asked coldly.

Qingming was startled for a moment, raised the corners of her lips slightly, and stared at her intently with her dark eyes.

"What are you looking at?" Lizi asked angrily.

Qingming smiled slightly, "You look so jealous."
