The Tale of Genji

Talent is the fairest and most unfair thing in this world.

It has been decided before birth, and there is no possibility of changing or improving the day after tomorrow.

But it is such a thing that can determine the achievements of a person's life.

There are very few people like Abe Seimei who can go through the flow of talent—maybe he is not suitable to be used as an example, he is probably unprecedented, there is no precedent before this, and there is still no one like him after him .But even if the standard is lowered and the baseline is pulled to the lowest level, there will not be many people in this part.

On the contrary, there are many, many, many people with ordinary qualifications.

But onmyoji is a profession that requires a lot of talent, and there is only so much that can be accomplished with basic study and hard work. If you don't have enough talent, even if you spread out all the mysteries, you still won't understand.

But—no matter how hard they try, they can't achieve higher achievements, won't they be reconciled?

Compared with the weeds that have always been crawling, there are always people who are willing to exchange long-term mediocrity for short-term brilliance.

Unholy power is a poison that destroys the future of the gifted, causing them to fall prematurely before they can bloom their own glory.But it is a good thing for those who cannot achieve much due to talent.Although there were side effects, it was at least a chance to get a glimpse of the upper class.

There are of course more disadvantages.

The power of uncleanness affects the mind and brings various negative states, and it also has a great damage to the health of the body.Metaphorically speaking, like setting off fireworks, after a short bloom, they will turn into dead ashes and fall to the ground, and there will never be a second chance to burn.

The development that has survived by luck has not been absent in so many years, but it is already a situation where the concept is completely distorted and self-destructed.Although the physical body is still alive in this world, there is no problem in saying that the original person died.

After that, even the uncontrolled physical body will be cleaned up together.

Although it is still a waste of human resources, this is the best way Genji has found over the years.

It's also a no-brainer.

Thinking about it is also very frustrating.

This sense of disparity.

Let those people know, maybe it will collapse, right?

They think their family is omnipotent, and even the emperor is afraid, but in fact they are walking a tightrope, and the whole family may be destroyed at any time.

It may be because of the pressure from Kyoto, or it may be because of Yamata no Orochi.

Communicating with the gods is an inherent part of the sacrifice. If it is omitted, the whole sacrifice will become meaningless—after all, if you don’t add this step, the object of your sacrifice will not know that you have given him a sacrifice, and everything will be in vain.

It is the officiant who is in charge of this step.

On the surface, it seems that as long as you hold the prepared speech and read it correctly, but in fact, Minamoto Raimitsu who is standing in the position of officiant can feel that is not the only thing.

Something, something was watching her.

Sticky, cold, vicious, slippery, long strips... as if it has been entangled.

In short, it was extremely uncomfortable, and the body instinctively showed resistance before the spirit could react.Existing language can't describe that feeling, and if you look at it with your eyes, you can't see the entity.It was a spiritual gaze, and it felt like a gaze from below, but it gave people the feeling of being absolutely condescending.

For example, it is as if a god is watching over his followers.

However, this believer just pretended to be okay, and he read the manuscript very nicely, but in fact he didn't have the slightest respect and awe at all.Although he was in front of the officiant, it was only a temporary self-hypnosis.

The gods have long since expired.

After all, the current orthodox god is the third noble son on Gaotianyuan, and Yamata no Orochi, who was jointly sealed by them, can only be reduced to a villain.

But I have to say one more thing, it is not without reason that Yamata no Orochi has a long history.Even if he is sealed, he can still continue to make small moves to make Genji stir up trouble.

The coercion is still very terrifying.

Minamoto Yorimitsu felt a very heavy sense of oppression just after receiving the impure power bestowed by Yamata no Orochi for a short time.

Someone's eyes are looking at her...and Youyou's.purple light.

Nature is beautiful, but also an icy color.

Weird.

And frantic.

And howling.

It was the wail of the priestesses who had just been thrown down, and it was also the voice of those priestesses who had been sacrificed in the past.

No matter how you say it, it is not a pleasant situation.

However Minamoto Raimitsu suppressed this emotion and maintained a stagnant state of mind.

After all, although she is an expert with one mind and two tasks, it is always right to be careful in the face of the overwhelming combat power of Yamata no Orochi.She still doesn't want to try whether the other party can read minds, and by the way, experience for herself how much strength Yamata no Orochi still has in the sealed state.

So these ideas were actually allowed to emerge after the end of the sacrifice, and the place was Abe Seimei's residence.

When a guest comes, the guest is Minamoto Raimitsu, and Abe Seimei naturally welcomes him generously.

The treats are all good things—naturally not those in the secular sense, but those on the Yin and Yang Dao.

Minamoto Raimitsu doesn't drink, Abe Seimei knows this very well.

She is a samurai, and she has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she also treats herself with strict requirements in life.

After all, no matter how powerful her spiritual power is, she is still human after all, and her body is no different from that of ordinary people, at most it is stronger because of the nourishment of spiritual power.In addition, she also needs to pay attention to the issues that ordinary warriors need to pay attention to.Of course, she would not touch things that might paralyze the body and cause slow reactions, such as alcohol.

Knowing this, Abe Seimei certainly wouldn't entertain Minamoto Raimitsu with wine—he brought out other drinks.

"Is it tea?"

"It was given by the monk in Takano... Do you remember? When we went there together to eliminate demons..."

"That time. Of course I remember it. After such a long time, didn't the tree have any wisdom? It's really a curious thing."

"Indeed, I remember Lai Guang, you said that you wanted to learn more about the situation, right?"

"Because I'm really curious."

In the warm afternoon of the sun, it is indeed a relaxing thing to drink tea and chat with my dear juniors on the porch.Of course, Junior Brother and Sunshine, both are indispensable.

The cold limbs have begun to recover gradually, and the uncomfortable stiffness is gradually disappearing.

But the inner emotions have not yet returned to calm.

The unprotected contact with evil creatures of the level of Yamata no Orochi before had some impact on Minamoto Raimitsu after all.

The body is still second, the focus is on the mind.

Although I was reluctantly enduring it at the time, but when I got to a safe place and started to relax, that discomfort came flooding back.

All kinds of chaotic thoughts that were suppressed at that time also came up together.

At that time, what was I thinking?

Minamoto Raimitsu questioned himself.

Is it sympathy?

Maybe there is, but it is more of a sense of threat.

I feel that I can't guarantee my own safety, so I instinctively become malicious towards the source of danger.

If it weren't for being unable to beat Minamoto Raimitsu, he would be able to gather all his hands to push the altar, and then add a thousand or eight hundred layers of that seal.At that time, let alone sending out power crystals like now, she can make Yamata no Orochi unable to make a sound.

But the problem now is that it can't be beaten.

If it is so easy to handle, with so many people in Genji, it will not be possible to stay in this tiankeng for many years.
