The Tale of Genji
Chapter 36
Minamoto Raimitsu was not surprised that the legend of the ghost girl Momiji spread to Kyoto, and he could even praise Momiji's high efficiency in his heart.
Let the legend of the ghost girl Hongye spread throughout the country as soon as possible, and let more people recognize the fact that "the ghost girl Hongye is the human body of the sixth heavenly demon king"—this is the goal of Hongye's efforts.The Hongfeng Forest where Hongye lives is still quite far from Kyoto. Now you can hear the legend about Hongye in Kyoto. Doesn’t that prove that Hongye has been working with trepidation all the time?
Really hard work,? Hongye.
If it is a subordinate, Minamoto Raimitsu has to consider how to increase the wages of the labor force or give other benefits and bonuses.But Hongye is another self, so these measures are unnecessary.
Minamoto Raimitsu decided to increase the horsepower after Abe Seimei left.It is not enough to just reuse the group of people who have been fooled (brainwashed) by Hongye after returning from the investigation in Hongfenglin, who firmly believe in the concept of "the ghost girl Hongye is the human body of the sixth heaven demon king". Let more people believe this - first, let's start with Genji.
No matter how you say it, all the elders have to believe in it.
However, Yuan Laiguang felt that the difficulty would not be too great.
With Yamata no Orochi's unpredictable bomb on his head, the more he knows about this, the greater the mental pressure on the senior figures within Genji, and the huge power gap between them is really desperate.In such emotions, a small part of them will abandon themselves and directly give up their stand and fall into the darkness, and more of them insist on themselves, thinking anxiously about what to do every day.
They really hope to end their fate in this tragedy, and they will attach great importance to every possible hope, especially in the "can deal with it." This is even more so in the case of no one who can beat Yamata no Orochi.
When a person is about to drown, even if it is just a straw, he will try his best to catch it.
Because otherwise, they have no choice.
No man or god can help them... so they can only choose to save themselves.
Praying to Hongye for help became the only way out.
Minamoto Raimitsu is not worried that he will fall off the horse.
Even though it's the same person, it doesn't mean that Momiji has the same face as Minamoto, right?
This is a very simple question,? When you open the small size, will it look the same as the large size, so that people can easily recognize it?Impossible, isn't the meaning of the existence of the small size just to do things that are inconvenient for the large size? What's the point of the existence of the small size if it is easily recognized? Naturally, the bigger the difference from the large size, the better.
Before the trumpet of Hongye was formed, Yuan Laiguang had made settings, and the origin and personality were all involved. Of course, pinching the face is also a necessary part.
As for what it looks like... In fact, that's what Minamoto Raikou did when he pinched his face.
First, I used my own face as the bottom plate, and then referred to the excellent cases of her wife Fujiwara Momiji and the best-looking light source I know, and then added some other details and my own ideas and aesthetic preferences. The final result is So it came out.
If you want to ask how the visual effect of the final product is... it can only be said that it is indeed a rare beauty in the world.
Even if compared with Guangyuanshi, the benchmark of appearance, Hongye is only slightly inferior.After all, a living person is full of vitality, and a ghost woman is too yin, so it is really obvious which one you think looks better.
And if you only look at their faces, they have different styles. Although they cannot be compared, they are actually not much less stunning.One is as bright as the sun and the moon, and the other is as thick and colorful as a red maple and a safflower.The former is Mr. Guanghua, and the latter is Sunrise Jianghuahong Shenghuo.
In short, Minamoto Raimitsu can confidently say that she is also a master of figurines with excellent skills.
The Demon Sword series is an example, and the most thoughtful Hongye is an absolute perfect work.Whether it's appearance or performance, as long as the figures she makes are made with care, there is nothing to be picky about.As for the rumor of the ghost girl Hongye, when it comes to Kyoto, only the beauty remains... It doesn't matter, Minamoto Raimitsu said to himself.
The instillation of concepts after that can be done slowly, at least this is still a good start, right?
Moreover, Hongye is quite happy to be praised for her beauty. After all, it is also a beautiful face that she worked so hard to pinch. No one will not be happy that her work can be recognized, right?
But being too pretty is also a little troublesome. This is Hongye’s personal experience. She has met several local officials who wanted to rob her—the legend of the ghost girl in the Maple Leaf Forest has already spread, why do those guys see her? When she appeared alone as a woman, she still wouldn't think a little bit more?Did they really take their brains with them when they went out?
Don't ask why there are only humans and no monsters who want to rob her. Could it be that Hongye's territory was picked out of thin air?
The monsters near the Maple Leaf Forest where she originally lived were either killed by her or subdued as subordinates, and the monsters who came to attack were also a result-of course, there were no such troubles.
Abe Seimei also has a view on the fact that Hongye can continue her life happily. "The good name has spread to Kyoto, but I can still continue to dance in the maple forest... Raikou, that is also a difficult problem."
Being so famous and still living up to now without being crusaded can only prove that the other party is not easy to mess with.
Besides, the world of monsters is actually more straightforward than that of humans. If those beautiful banshees have no ability to protect themselves, they will only be plundered and ravaged, but obviously Hongye is not one of them, and it is not a sudden mutation. , but a follower of the single law of "the stronger the monster, the more beautiful it is".
"When you say this, is it because someone wants you to deal with that red leaf?" Minamoto Raimitsu's tone and answer were very ordinary, as if what was being discussed was not his trumpet. "Will His Majesty really agree to let you leave Kyoto?"
Emperor Tonghu... that's an insecure man.In this regard, he and Guangyuanshi are indeed father and son.
Abe Seimei said, "Is it more likely that Genji is responsible for this?"
This kind of development is exactly in Minamoto Larimitsu's hands. At that time, there is no need to make excuses, and he can directly send people to contact Hongye.But you can't say this: "Even if I... this kind of thing, I'm not absolutely sure." Minamoto Raimitsu said: "Didn't you hear about that, Seimei?"
Abe Seimei: "...what?"
Could it be that as soon as Raikou came back, he knew that the nobles in Kyoto secretly said that the red leaf ghost girl in the maple forest was the matter of Fujiwara Hongye, the eldest lady of the Fujiwara family?Oops, Raikou has always liked that Red Leaf Princess, if he found out that his wife's reputation was smeared and put together with a monster——
Will you be mad?
Onmyoji's mind was full of thoughts, and he didn't know how to start it for a while.Fortunately, Minamoto Raimitsu didn't know about it, so he just said: "Hongye...she is actually the reincarnation of the sixth heavenly demon king of Buddhism in the human world, the demon king of the desire realm walking in the human world...this is the saying."
Abe Seimei obviously hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Do you believe it, Raikou...?"
Minamoto Raimiko replied: "When facing everything related to the gods, no matter how cautious you are, it's normal. If it's just a ghost girl, it's not a problem. If this statement is true, then there's nothing you can do about it. ——Speaking of which, Seimei, do you believe it?”
Abe Seimei thought for a while, and replied: "I have never seen that ghost girl, so I can't draw conclusions. However, I still believe in Raiko's judgment."
"Unfortunately, I haven't met her, so I can't give an answer." Minamoto Raimiko said, "But I think this statement may not be false."
Abe Seimei: "Why?"
Minamoto Raimitsu started a serious deceitful mode: "Since there is such a saying and its spread is so wide, then surely those temples and monks also know about it? Since they know about it, then the gods must also know about it—"
"If you are offended, then the real Demon King of the Sixth Heaven will definitely send down divine punishment, just like the gods punish those who offend the gods."
"But Seimei, look, she's fine now... she hasn't been punished."
Abe Seimei: "So... Laiguang, do you think this statement is true?"
Yuan Laiguangxin said that I really hope this is true, but he replied: "It is always right to pay attention to some things-in short, let's wait and see for the time being? The one in the Maple Leaf Forest has never heard of it. What evil, if it is not necessary, I don't want to be hostile to her and cause trouble later."
Abe Seimei: "Listen to Laiguang's tone...it means, you were tricked by this kind of thing before, no, have you ever encountered such a thing?"
Minamoto Raimitsu recalled the feeling when he chopped Ibuki Doji, especially when he cut his neck and dismembered his body, his face naturally showed the look of "someone who came here". "Ah, this kind of thing... Seimei, trust me," she said, "You don't want to experience it—Ibuki-douji is the most shameless youkai I've ever seen."
Abe Seimei: "...??? Did something happen...? Raikou, is there anything I can do to help?"
Minamoto Raimitsu: "It's really cheating to call your parents if you can't beat it!"
Abe Seimei was lost in thought.
Abe Seimei was shocked!
"Raikou—are you injured? No, have you been affected?" After realizing who Ibuki Doji's parents are, he almost jumped up on the spot and rushed over to check.Afterwards, although I tried my best to control my emotions, I couldn't help asking questions. Although the repeated questions were repeated over and over again, that kind of straightforward concern——
Silly Baitian is still silly Baitian, the hostile Patriarch may be cursed by Yamata no Orochi, so he is so worried.
The emotions are so blunt and extreme, and they are actually true... But this kind of sincere concern is indeed very useful.
"It's so cute, Seimei." Patriarch Genji, who was leisurely holding a cup of tea, gave such an evaluation.
In short, in the end, I briefly explained the situation, such as cursing or something... Of course, the selective confession is not just to reassure the lovely junior, but also to cover up the abnormality in myself.
In Minamoto's statement, it goes like this:
After she became the head of the family, she once had a fight with Ibuki Doji. At that time, Ibuki Doji used the secret trick "If you can't beat me, call Dad to beat you" very despicably, which caused her to be targeted by Yaqi Orochi up.During the crusade against Dajiangshan this time, she originally wanted to try to see if this sequelae could be solved after killing Ibuki Doji——
The result was a little more serious.
Although some measures have been taken, the curse on his body has been suppressed to a certain extent, but overall it still has an impact.
"For example, cold hands from time to time, and evil spirits." Minamoto Raimitsu said solemnly, "Seimei, you have also discovered the problem with me?"
Abe Seimei nodded with a serious expression, saying that he did find that something was wrong every time Minamoto ran to his house to bask in the sun, but he didn't expect it to be related to Yamata no Orochi... Damn, he should pay more attention to this aspects of things.
Minamoto Raimiko said: "Seimei, you don't have to blame yourself. This is my own mistake, and it has nothing to do with you-and now that Ibuki Doji is dead, curse me and find a way to restrain it."
Abe Seimei said, "Really...is it okay?"
Minamoto Raimiko said: "The curse can be cleared, but the gaze from the gods... Well, Seimei, you also know this kind of thing, right?"
The so-called gaze of the gods, to put it bluntly, also depends on strength.
Gods like the Goddess of the Sun who are incarnations of nature, want to stare at a person for a long time, even if the other person is not happy. After all, as long as they are still in the sun, it is equivalent to being under the gaze of the Goddess of the Sun.And it is always impossible for a person to be isolated from the sun all the time.
But now this kind of powerful gods are bound to Gao Tianyuan, and the gods who can set foot in the world don't have such strength. Onmyojis like Minamoto Yorimitsu and Abe Seimei can still refuse if they don't like it.As for Yamata no Orochi, it is another special situation that requires special treatment.
Yamata no Orochi is the incarnation of water damage, the manifestation of natural phenomena, and an undoubted powerful god. In theory, it can do what the sun goddess can do——
The premise is that it is not sealed.
Yamata no Orochi, who is in the seal, is greatly restricted in terms of strength and consciousness. Although the seal was loosened before, it has been temporarily stabilized under Genji's efforts for more than a hundred years.Now the area that Yamata no Orochi can affect is only the center of the seal—that is, the vicinity of the Genji sacrificial site.
As long as it is out of this range, the spirit itself is not transformed by the power of Yamata no Orochi, and the spirit is not polluted by it, and no connection is established between the two, it will not be affected.
And the reason why Yamata no Orochi was able to cast eyes on Minamoto Larimitsu for a long time before was only because Ibuki Doji used the connection between himself and Yamata no Orochi as a "god child and god" to engrave Minamoto Raimitsu on his body. I made a mark and used it as a road sign and signal receiver for Yamata no Orochi.
Yamata no Orochi, who received the signal that his son died, cast his eyes on the murderer, and because of the existence of the signal device, he was not affected by the distance.
But now there is no such problem, after all, the mark has been separated by Minamoto Raimitsu-Hongye does not have this problem either.
It is true that Ibuki Doji carved the mark quite rough, although she has a way to remove it, it will take a while, but this is just a normal situation.Minamoto Larimitsu covered the concept of "the human body of the sixth heavenly demon king" on Hongye's body, and all kinds of thoughts that flowed continuously after this concept was established, all the marks could be wiped out in less than half a day.
Doing so would at most mean being missed by Yamata no Orochi... Anyway, he is still in the seal, and he can't really come out to stir up wind and rain to do something earth-shattering.The nearby staff have also been evacuated long ago... In short, this result is still within Minamoto's acceptance range.
Why don't you try to talk about it next time at the sacrifice, anyway, I have tried it before, Yamata no Orochi doesn't care much about this son, it's basically as good as it is alive.
Abe Seimei didn't know that Minamoto Raimitsu had opened a trumpet, but he knew that Yamata no Orochi was sealed: "Is it okay if you don't get close?" He asked.
"The traces and coordinates have been cleared, and nothing will happen." Minamoto Raimitsu assured, "This will not happen again in the future—even if Shuten-douji is resurrected."
Abe Seimei: "Ah...you know about this, Laimitsu."
"Shuten-douji is a big monster after all, and his Dajiangshan was also attacked by Genji before. I know it's natural for him to resurrect him, right?" Minamoto Raimitsu said, "Someone sent a letter a long time ago."
"Ah... yes." Abe Seimei was silent for a while, and didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "It makes sense. Since it was Raimitsu who you crusaded against, if Shuten-douji comes back to life, naturally you should come." Deal with it—probably that's what the man, and others, thought."
Minamoto Raimitsu asked: "Speaking of which, Ibaraki Doji shouldn't make this a big deal...?" As soon as we met, he came to face him with a knife, and then gave the news. "And how do you know?"
"It can be seen from astrology." Abe Seimei replied. "The star belonging to Shuten-douji was dim before, but it was not completely extinguished, so I judge that he is not completely dead. But recently, I see that star is slowly getting brighter..."
Then it was deduced that Shuten-douji was about to be resurrected.
This answer did not exceed Minamoto Raimitsu's expectations.
Although she and Abe Seimei are from the same school, both of them studied the same basic courses, but because of their different personal preferences and talents, the learning routes and specialization skills of the two are really different.Minamoto Larimitsu is better at the stream of consciousness in the spiritual range of life and soul, and he is also very experienced in making things happen.And Seimei Abe specializes in astronomy.
Not to mention that his good at Yin-Yang art is also closely related to this aspect, he is also very good at astrology.
He often uses what he has learned in various aspects, and astrology is even more widely used. The only thing he sighs is——
What a pity that astrology doesn't work for Minamoto Yorimitsu.
It's not without joy. In the end, this situation is only because they are too close, which makes the law of "astrology can't divination oneself and the people close to you" take effect...but it's nothing.
Genji Patriarch himself is a very dazzling star.
Every night, when I look at the star representing Minamoto, I think so.
Although the life of the Son of Man is short, it is precisely because of this that it will be extremely colorful.
There are always monsters who will be attracted by such splendor and will willingly become moths to the flame——Abe Seimei thought, maybe he can't escape the influence of the half of the monster blood on his body.
Staring at a person for a long time, so fascinated by this beautiful life... There is no way.
After all it is so beautiful and gorgeous.
In the entire night sky, in the entire Milky Way, no star is more dazzling than Yuan Laiguang.
If there are legends left in this era, she must be the most magnificent color and the most conspicuous trace in the legends.
This is not because of any filter, but Minamoto Raimitsu is a very good person.
When he was an Onmyoji, his achievements were astonishing, even when he was a part-time samurai, he surpassed Hei's reputation as the strongest samurai in the world.And when she served as the head of Genji's family, the decisions she made were also very wise.
Just like before, she didn't return to the capital immediately after crusading Dajiangshan, but instead led her subordinates back to their hometown in the local area.
Because I am not in the capital, the forces and enemies who want to suppress her have been revealed, and I have also used this to exercise Guangyuan, who has been carefully cultivated by her, and took the opportunity to show myself to Emperor Tonghu once again. loyal and trustworthy.
In the process of changing places, Genji not only inspected his own property, but also eliminated many monsters.While training the new generation, Genji's prestige and status have once again been established among the people at the bottom.
——During this process, the title of "Four Heavenly Kings of Raikou" was also formed.
The so-called Four Heavenly Kings are Watanabe Tsuna, Bubu Jiwu, Sakata Kintoki, and Uui Sadamitsu. At the beginning, these four became famous in the crusade against Shuten Doji, and later in the national tour (not) during the retreat tour Also had a pretty stellar performance, and thus a huge reputation.
Because they are the four most outstanding warriors, and they are all Minamoto Yorimitsu's subordinates, unknowingly they have the title of "Raikou Four Heavenly Kings".
For this reason, Ping was very dissatisfied.
Originally, there were many conflicts between the Genji and the Heiji—after all, colleagues were enemies, and the two completely monopolized the promotion channels and lower-level resources of the samurai class. Yao, whose main task is to protect the vulnerable Onmyoji within Genji—but the collision between the two parties has always existed.
Relationships are also very bad.
To sum it up, Genji looks down on Ping, and Ping wants to step on Genji completely—this is the situation.
This is also related to the origin and fortune of the Heping family.
Although they are all families developed from the children of the royal family, Genji has always had a natural sense of superiority over the Ping family in terms of origin.
After all, Genji was developed by the princes and princesses who were reduced to the status of ministers. After losing the status of the royal family, they are also powerful ministers.The Ping family, on the other hand, was due to financial difficulties, and some of the offshoots of the royal family were given surnames. After losing their royal status, they were sent to other places.
With such a comparison, it is only natural for Genji to feel that he is more noble than Hera.As far as family development is concerned, Genji, who has always held great power, and was even comparable to the Fujiwara family before he turned to Yinyang Dao, is far better than Heira, who has always been a magistrate.
However, this situation only lasted until Minamoto's grandfather's generation.
Too many things happened in that generation, from Hengwu's move to Beijing to Genji's transfer to Yinyang Dao... After that, it was the Fujiwara family, some The well-developed aristocrats, and nearly half of their weight was fed to the Ping family by the then emperor with the saying that "they are all royal blood, and the Minamoto Ping family is no different".
The Ping family who had eaten their fill was not greedy enough, and wanted to kill Genji completely, and drive them out of the political arena to get more benefits. It would be best if they could die in the Yin and Yang way all the time.It is impossible for Genji, who has been robbed of a large amount of benefits, to have any good looks towards Pingshi. After that, the two families have almost become sworn enemies, and they must compete in all aspects.
For example, when the Ping family was in power at the local level and had many samurai under his command, Genji also vigorously developed his power in the samurai class.
At first it was for competition, but later I discovered... Onmyoji (Mage) is difficult to train, not to mention really fragile, and really needs the protection of samurai (melee combat).
In short, until now, the resources of the samurai class have been completely monopolized by the Genpei two, and the competition is only between these two.
The fight is also really brutal-there is no lack of bloodshed every year, and for the reputation of their respective families, the warriors of the two families have really cut each other quite a lot.
After all, this is an era where one's reputation is not only based on appearance, but also one's reputation is greater than the heavens. The importance of family reputation is self-evident.
Huge fame and the representatives (stars) introduced are equivalent to the best publicity, not only can get more resources in the new blood absorption, but also can severely ridicule and suppress opponents.The so-called Four Heavenly Kings of Raikou belonged to the star-making personnel pushed by Genji, and while receiving the support of Genji, they would also be targeted by Hera. After all, their existence was a blow to Hera.
However, no one will care about Genji's opinions.
The relationship between the two families is extremely bad, do you expect them to show some kindness?The old enemy is at a disadvantage, of course there is only one thing to do at this time——
That is to do everything possible to add insult to injury, trying to kill the other party at once!
"In this year, the one with the most incidents is the Hera family, right?" Abe Seimei said.
Ping's words are really... very miserable.
Counting from Minamoto's departure from Kyoto to Minamoto's return, it took a total of one year, but he experienced many blows.
The first is Light.
Although Mr. Guanghua is young, his mind is not shallow at all.Although he targeted the Ping family, he didn't do anything himself, he just gave them eye drops in front of his own father Tong Hudi.In addition, Taira is really too jumpy, and he wants to eat something good while Minamoto Raimitsu and other Genji elites are away, so he is eager to be loved by Aiko - thinking that Genji will be my son in the future, you are so foolish now Isn't Genji just cheating on my beloved second son, Emperor Tonghu, who was beaten.
And then Fujiwara.
Seeing that Emperor Tonghu made a move, Fujiwara Kane thought that what he had done before was a bit dishonest, so he should rush forward to show his loyalty at this time.Besides, Minamoto Raimitsu went out this time to crusade against Oeyama—the monster that came out of Oeyama killed my beloved daughter Hongye, and now my son-in-law wants to seek justice for my daughter, and you Taira are actually trying to hold back my son-in-law?No, this is absolutely not possible, see if I don't hit you!
And then Watanabe Tsuna.
Although the head of Shuten-douji who was escorted was taken away at Rashomon, an arm of Ibaraki-douji was also cut off.The samurai became famous for it, and he was challenged by the Taira—and won.
Tong Hudi's beating was short-lived, but the hatred from the Fujiwara family was long-lasting.There is also Tsuna Watanabe's big show to add fame to Genji——
Although Minamoto Raimitsu spent a whole year traveling around the country (not) frightening demons and ghosts, Genji really didn't suffer any losses during the year she was away, but Heira had a lot of losses.
This kind of situation makes people have to think more about whether Minamoto Raimitsu left Kyoto for so long on purpose.
"It's rare to take someone out for a trip. Naturally, I have to finish everything I want to do." Minamoto Raimiko said. "Since I'm passing by, it's the right thing to clean up."
Although she had a lot of fun on the road and produced several research results during the year she was away, she was not without work.
There is a powerful barrier in the capital, and there are many onmyoji guards, and troubles will happen from time to time.The rural areas are not guarded by barriers like in Kyoto, and there are many onmyojis on call at any time, so of course there are more monsters.
For the safety of the residents in the future, Genji will not do anything to those who can live in peace. Those who wreak havoc on the people at will, of course, belong to the scope of being thoroughly cleaned up.
Although he always takes onmyoji as a part-time job, Minamoto Yorimitsu is indeed an onmyoji.
The profession of Onmyoji masters those invisible forces, such as fate, souls, ghosts, etc., while knowing the truth, it also has the ability to dominate, and it also has a certain influence in all classes.The high-ranking people get spiritual peace and social security from the Onmyoji, while the low-ranking people get the comfort of difficult life from the Onmyoji.
Generally speaking, it is the same positioning as the spiritual pillar.
Most people's first impression of this profession is to draw amulets and chant spells to protect one side, which is not wrong.However, in this era where humans and monsters co-exist, and demon and spiritual powers coexist, the onmyoji's job is to balance the two realms of yin and yang—that is, to maintain the boundary between humans and non-humans.
Cutting apart this concept, its core is only the four words of protecting the same family.
Minamoto Raikou scoffed at the superficial responsibility of protecting the balance of yin and yang. From the bottom of her heart, she believed that it was impossible for humans and aliens to understand each other and coexist peacefully. The only way to survive and develop in a stable way was to kill the aliens. agreed.
He has also been unwaveringly walking on this road, practicing this concept with his own behavior.
He loves his ghost-slaying career from the bottom of his heart.
A noble man who kills ghosts, fights against evil, and protects the peace of the people.
Even if you ask Abe Seimei, he will say——this is the most suitable compliment for Patriarch Genji.
"Really...? So in Seimei's heart, am I such a praised person?" Yuan Laiguang asked softly.
Abe Seimei's cheeks were slightly red—maybe it was because the spiritual power contained in the plum wine in his hand was so abundant that it could easily make the great onmyoji drunk; maybe it was because the taste of the wine was too sweet to make The Great Onmyoji forgot that it was actually wine; it might also be because he was too serious to talk to his friends and didn't notice what he was drinking—in short, he did look a little drunk.
The Great Onmyoji, who drank too much plum wine without knowing it, looked smoky, and when he looked up, even his eyes were like the surface of a lake blown by a breeze, rippling with ripples.He replied earnestly: "In my heart, Raiko you exist just like this."
"In that case, why... do you have sadness in your eyes when you look at me?" Minamoto asked. "Why are you sad, Seimei?"
Abe Seimei who was asked did not answer.
He just stared fixedly at his close friend and reliable elder brother who was close at hand... His eyelashes trembled for a moment, and tears fell.
Why am I sad?
It seems that there is nothing to be sad about. We are close friends and colleagues who share the same heart...even if the so-called difference does not exist between you and me.You are the son of man with only a short life, and I am a half-demon who chose the fate of mankind... Even this is not a problem, why am I lamenting?
Is it the future?But I can't see your future... So even if you choose the most difficult path and want to be the one who cuts the thorns, I can't give you any hints.
I can't help you... and I can't save you.
I, who was left behind by you, can do nothing for you.
——However, Minamoto Raimitsu doesn't really need Abe Seimei to do anything for her.
As long as he exists, he is helping her.
In the eyes of everyone, even God, Abe Seimei is a restriction to prevent Minamoto from being too wanton. As long as he is there, even if Minamoto is out of play, someone can clean up the mess.
If it weren't for Abe Seimei, Minamoto Raikou felt that he would have to be careful in everything he did to ensure that he didn't touch Kirihudi's sensitive nerves.But now that Abe Seimei is here, Abe Seimei can take care of everything she messes up.It is precisely because his own safety is guaranteed that Emperor Tonghu will not care about what Minato Raimitsu has done at all.
Speaking of it, it seems that no one knows when, everyone has such a recognition for granted.
Abe Seimei can be trusted, as long as he is there, he will be safe.
"You have also grown a lot, Junior Brother...you have become a better opponent."
The morning of Genji on the second day began with a shocking cry from Genji:
"Brother Laiguang-!!! Why is he here!!!"
Minamoto Larimitsu, who was doing daily martial arts practice, glanced at his younger brother Guangyuan who had just come back from the palace, and looked back with Guangyuan's angry gaze——
Then I saw Abe Seimei after a hangover.
Untidy description, disheveled clothes, tired look... No matter how you look at it, it's a delicate situation.
Plus he's good looking.
Guangyuan's heart: Bah, the vixen will not try to seduce my brother Laiguang!
Abe · Fox Spirit · Seimei: ? ? ?what happened? ? ?
Seeing that the vegetable chicken Guangyuan was about to rush up to fight Abe Seimei, Minamoto stepped in in time, picked up the domestic one and put it beside him, and began to talk nonsense with his eyes open: "It seems that during the time I was away, Hikaru You get along well with Qingming? You are so happy to see Qingming."
Guangyuan's eyes were full of disbelief: "Brother Laiguang...?" How did you see that I have a good relationship with this guy?
Minamoto Raimitsu gave him a pat on the head: "Okay, don't worry about me, Hikari. It's rare to have a good friend, and there's no need to give up because of some unimportant things - Seimei, don't you think so? "
Abe Seimei, who just woke up from a hangover and was still in a state of wandering thoughts: "Ah... yes, I am exactly the same, Raikou. Even if you and I are against each other, in my heart, you will always be my senior brother."
Minamoto Larimitsu looked concerned: "Seimei...are you alright?"
Abe Seimei: "Wait a little longer and you'll be fine... Laiguang, did I cause you any trouble yesterday?"
Minamoto Laikou quickly held down Guangyuan who was about to jump up again, and replied at the same time: "No."
As for things like wine, there are always better ones than bad ones. For example, Abe Seimei just sits obediently after getting drunk, behaves well and doesn't make trouble, doesn't talk or make noise, except for being unresponsive and There are very few good children who are usually the same.
Just do whatever you want, and after laying the person down, he will fall asleep obediently.There was no punching or kicking in the middle of the night, and the sleeping appearance was as good as ever.
that is, probably
Let the legend of the ghost girl Hongye spread throughout the country as soon as possible, and let more people recognize the fact that "the ghost girl Hongye is the human body of the sixth heavenly demon king"—this is the goal of Hongye's efforts.The Hongfeng Forest where Hongye lives is still quite far from Kyoto. Now you can hear the legend about Hongye in Kyoto. Doesn’t that prove that Hongye has been working with trepidation all the time?
Really hard work,? Hongye.
If it is a subordinate, Minamoto Raimitsu has to consider how to increase the wages of the labor force or give other benefits and bonuses.But Hongye is another self, so these measures are unnecessary.
Minamoto Raimitsu decided to increase the horsepower after Abe Seimei left.It is not enough to just reuse the group of people who have been fooled (brainwashed) by Hongye after returning from the investigation in Hongfenglin, who firmly believe in the concept of "the ghost girl Hongye is the human body of the sixth heaven demon king". Let more people believe this - first, let's start with Genji.
No matter how you say it, all the elders have to believe in it.
However, Yuan Laiguang felt that the difficulty would not be too great.
With Yamata no Orochi's unpredictable bomb on his head, the more he knows about this, the greater the mental pressure on the senior figures within Genji, and the huge power gap between them is really desperate.In such emotions, a small part of them will abandon themselves and directly give up their stand and fall into the darkness, and more of them insist on themselves, thinking anxiously about what to do every day.
They really hope to end their fate in this tragedy, and they will attach great importance to every possible hope, especially in the "can deal with it." This is even more so in the case of no one who can beat Yamata no Orochi.
When a person is about to drown, even if it is just a straw, he will try his best to catch it.
Because otherwise, they have no choice.
No man or god can help them... so they can only choose to save themselves.
Praying to Hongye for help became the only way out.
Minamoto Raimitsu is not worried that he will fall off the horse.
Even though it's the same person, it doesn't mean that Momiji has the same face as Minamoto, right?
This is a very simple question,? When you open the small size, will it look the same as the large size, so that people can easily recognize it?Impossible, isn't the meaning of the existence of the small size just to do things that are inconvenient for the large size? What's the point of the existence of the small size if it is easily recognized? Naturally, the bigger the difference from the large size, the better.
Before the trumpet of Hongye was formed, Yuan Laiguang had made settings, and the origin and personality were all involved. Of course, pinching the face is also a necessary part.
As for what it looks like... In fact, that's what Minamoto Raikou did when he pinched his face.
First, I used my own face as the bottom plate, and then referred to the excellent cases of her wife Fujiwara Momiji and the best-looking light source I know, and then added some other details and my own ideas and aesthetic preferences. The final result is So it came out.
If you want to ask how the visual effect of the final product is... it can only be said that it is indeed a rare beauty in the world.
Even if compared with Guangyuanshi, the benchmark of appearance, Hongye is only slightly inferior.After all, a living person is full of vitality, and a ghost woman is too yin, so it is really obvious which one you think looks better.
And if you only look at their faces, they have different styles. Although they cannot be compared, they are actually not much less stunning.One is as bright as the sun and the moon, and the other is as thick and colorful as a red maple and a safflower.The former is Mr. Guanghua, and the latter is Sunrise Jianghuahong Shenghuo.
In short, Minamoto Raimitsu can confidently say that she is also a master of figurines with excellent skills.
The Demon Sword series is an example, and the most thoughtful Hongye is an absolute perfect work.Whether it's appearance or performance, as long as the figures she makes are made with care, there is nothing to be picky about.As for the rumor of the ghost girl Hongye, when it comes to Kyoto, only the beauty remains... It doesn't matter, Minamoto Raimitsu said to himself.
The instillation of concepts after that can be done slowly, at least this is still a good start, right?
Moreover, Hongye is quite happy to be praised for her beauty. After all, it is also a beautiful face that she worked so hard to pinch. No one will not be happy that her work can be recognized, right?
But being too pretty is also a little troublesome. This is Hongye’s personal experience. She has met several local officials who wanted to rob her—the legend of the ghost girl in the Maple Leaf Forest has already spread, why do those guys see her? When she appeared alone as a woman, she still wouldn't think a little bit more?Did they really take their brains with them when they went out?
Don't ask why there are only humans and no monsters who want to rob her. Could it be that Hongye's territory was picked out of thin air?
The monsters near the Maple Leaf Forest where she originally lived were either killed by her or subdued as subordinates, and the monsters who came to attack were also a result-of course, there were no such troubles.
Abe Seimei also has a view on the fact that Hongye can continue her life happily. "The good name has spread to Kyoto, but I can still continue to dance in the maple forest... Raikou, that is also a difficult problem."
Being so famous and still living up to now without being crusaded can only prove that the other party is not easy to mess with.
Besides, the world of monsters is actually more straightforward than that of humans. If those beautiful banshees have no ability to protect themselves, they will only be plundered and ravaged, but obviously Hongye is not one of them, and it is not a sudden mutation. , but a follower of the single law of "the stronger the monster, the more beautiful it is".
"When you say this, is it because someone wants you to deal with that red leaf?" Minamoto Raimitsu's tone and answer were very ordinary, as if what was being discussed was not his trumpet. "Will His Majesty really agree to let you leave Kyoto?"
Emperor Tonghu... that's an insecure man.In this regard, he and Guangyuanshi are indeed father and son.
Abe Seimei said, "Is it more likely that Genji is responsible for this?"
This kind of development is exactly in Minamoto Larimitsu's hands. At that time, there is no need to make excuses, and he can directly send people to contact Hongye.But you can't say this: "Even if I... this kind of thing, I'm not absolutely sure." Minamoto Raimitsu said: "Didn't you hear about that, Seimei?"
Abe Seimei: "...what?"
Could it be that as soon as Raikou came back, he knew that the nobles in Kyoto secretly said that the red leaf ghost girl in the maple forest was the matter of Fujiwara Hongye, the eldest lady of the Fujiwara family?Oops, Raikou has always liked that Red Leaf Princess, if he found out that his wife's reputation was smeared and put together with a monster——
Will you be mad?
Onmyoji's mind was full of thoughts, and he didn't know how to start it for a while.Fortunately, Minamoto Raimitsu didn't know about it, so he just said: "Hongye...she is actually the reincarnation of the sixth heavenly demon king of Buddhism in the human world, the demon king of the desire realm walking in the human world...this is the saying."
Abe Seimei obviously hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Do you believe it, Raikou...?"
Minamoto Raimiko replied: "When facing everything related to the gods, no matter how cautious you are, it's normal. If it's just a ghost girl, it's not a problem. If this statement is true, then there's nothing you can do about it. ——Speaking of which, Seimei, do you believe it?”
Abe Seimei thought for a while, and replied: "I have never seen that ghost girl, so I can't draw conclusions. However, I still believe in Raiko's judgment."
"Unfortunately, I haven't met her, so I can't give an answer." Minamoto Raimiko said, "But I think this statement may not be false."
Abe Seimei: "Why?"
Minamoto Raimitsu started a serious deceitful mode: "Since there is such a saying and its spread is so wide, then surely those temples and monks also know about it? Since they know about it, then the gods must also know about it—"
"If you are offended, then the real Demon King of the Sixth Heaven will definitely send down divine punishment, just like the gods punish those who offend the gods."
"But Seimei, look, she's fine now... she hasn't been punished."
Abe Seimei: "So... Laiguang, do you think this statement is true?"
Yuan Laiguangxin said that I really hope this is true, but he replied: "It is always right to pay attention to some things-in short, let's wait and see for the time being? The one in the Maple Leaf Forest has never heard of it. What evil, if it is not necessary, I don't want to be hostile to her and cause trouble later."
Abe Seimei: "Listen to Laiguang's tone...it means, you were tricked by this kind of thing before, no, have you ever encountered such a thing?"
Minamoto Raimitsu recalled the feeling when he chopped Ibuki Doji, especially when he cut his neck and dismembered his body, his face naturally showed the look of "someone who came here". "Ah, this kind of thing... Seimei, trust me," she said, "You don't want to experience it—Ibuki-douji is the most shameless youkai I've ever seen."
Abe Seimei: "...??? Did something happen...? Raikou, is there anything I can do to help?"
Minamoto Raimitsu: "It's really cheating to call your parents if you can't beat it!"
Abe Seimei was lost in thought.
Abe Seimei was shocked!
"Raikou—are you injured? No, have you been affected?" After realizing who Ibuki Doji's parents are, he almost jumped up on the spot and rushed over to check.Afterwards, although I tried my best to control my emotions, I couldn't help asking questions. Although the repeated questions were repeated over and over again, that kind of straightforward concern——
Silly Baitian is still silly Baitian, the hostile Patriarch may be cursed by Yamata no Orochi, so he is so worried.
The emotions are so blunt and extreme, and they are actually true... But this kind of sincere concern is indeed very useful.
"It's so cute, Seimei." Patriarch Genji, who was leisurely holding a cup of tea, gave such an evaluation.
In short, in the end, I briefly explained the situation, such as cursing or something... Of course, the selective confession is not just to reassure the lovely junior, but also to cover up the abnormality in myself.
In Minamoto's statement, it goes like this:
After she became the head of the family, she once had a fight with Ibuki Doji. At that time, Ibuki Doji used the secret trick "If you can't beat me, call Dad to beat you" very despicably, which caused her to be targeted by Yaqi Orochi up.During the crusade against Dajiangshan this time, she originally wanted to try to see if this sequelae could be solved after killing Ibuki Doji——
The result was a little more serious.
Although some measures have been taken, the curse on his body has been suppressed to a certain extent, but overall it still has an impact.
"For example, cold hands from time to time, and evil spirits." Minamoto Raimitsu said solemnly, "Seimei, you have also discovered the problem with me?"
Abe Seimei nodded with a serious expression, saying that he did find that something was wrong every time Minamoto ran to his house to bask in the sun, but he didn't expect it to be related to Yamata no Orochi... Damn, he should pay more attention to this aspects of things.
Minamoto Raimiko said: "Seimei, you don't have to blame yourself. This is my own mistake, and it has nothing to do with you-and now that Ibuki Doji is dead, curse me and find a way to restrain it."
Abe Seimei said, "Really...is it okay?"
Minamoto Raimiko said: "The curse can be cleared, but the gaze from the gods... Well, Seimei, you also know this kind of thing, right?"
The so-called gaze of the gods, to put it bluntly, also depends on strength.
Gods like the Goddess of the Sun who are incarnations of nature, want to stare at a person for a long time, even if the other person is not happy. After all, as long as they are still in the sun, it is equivalent to being under the gaze of the Goddess of the Sun.And it is always impossible for a person to be isolated from the sun all the time.
But now this kind of powerful gods are bound to Gao Tianyuan, and the gods who can set foot in the world don't have such strength. Onmyojis like Minamoto Yorimitsu and Abe Seimei can still refuse if they don't like it.As for Yamata no Orochi, it is another special situation that requires special treatment.
Yamata no Orochi is the incarnation of water damage, the manifestation of natural phenomena, and an undoubted powerful god. In theory, it can do what the sun goddess can do——
The premise is that it is not sealed.
Yamata no Orochi, who is in the seal, is greatly restricted in terms of strength and consciousness. Although the seal was loosened before, it has been temporarily stabilized under Genji's efforts for more than a hundred years.Now the area that Yamata no Orochi can affect is only the center of the seal—that is, the vicinity of the Genji sacrificial site.
As long as it is out of this range, the spirit itself is not transformed by the power of Yamata no Orochi, and the spirit is not polluted by it, and no connection is established between the two, it will not be affected.
And the reason why Yamata no Orochi was able to cast eyes on Minamoto Larimitsu for a long time before was only because Ibuki Doji used the connection between himself and Yamata no Orochi as a "god child and god" to engrave Minamoto Raimitsu on his body. I made a mark and used it as a road sign and signal receiver for Yamata no Orochi.
Yamata no Orochi, who received the signal that his son died, cast his eyes on the murderer, and because of the existence of the signal device, he was not affected by the distance.
But now there is no such problem, after all, the mark has been separated by Minamoto Raimitsu-Hongye does not have this problem either.
It is true that Ibuki Doji carved the mark quite rough, although she has a way to remove it, it will take a while, but this is just a normal situation.Minamoto Larimitsu covered the concept of "the human body of the sixth heavenly demon king" on Hongye's body, and all kinds of thoughts that flowed continuously after this concept was established, all the marks could be wiped out in less than half a day.
Doing so would at most mean being missed by Yamata no Orochi... Anyway, he is still in the seal, and he can't really come out to stir up wind and rain to do something earth-shattering.The nearby staff have also been evacuated long ago... In short, this result is still within Minamoto's acceptance range.
Why don't you try to talk about it next time at the sacrifice, anyway, I have tried it before, Yamata no Orochi doesn't care much about this son, it's basically as good as it is alive.
Abe Seimei didn't know that Minamoto Raimitsu had opened a trumpet, but he knew that Yamata no Orochi was sealed: "Is it okay if you don't get close?" He asked.
"The traces and coordinates have been cleared, and nothing will happen." Minamoto Raimitsu assured, "This will not happen again in the future—even if Shuten-douji is resurrected."
Abe Seimei: "Ah...you know about this, Laimitsu."
"Shuten-douji is a big monster after all, and his Dajiangshan was also attacked by Genji before. I know it's natural for him to resurrect him, right?" Minamoto Raimitsu said, "Someone sent a letter a long time ago."
"Ah... yes." Abe Seimei was silent for a while, and didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "It makes sense. Since it was Raimitsu who you crusaded against, if Shuten-douji comes back to life, naturally you should come." Deal with it—probably that's what the man, and others, thought."
Minamoto Raimitsu asked: "Speaking of which, Ibaraki Doji shouldn't make this a big deal...?" As soon as we met, he came to face him with a knife, and then gave the news. "And how do you know?"
"It can be seen from astrology." Abe Seimei replied. "The star belonging to Shuten-douji was dim before, but it was not completely extinguished, so I judge that he is not completely dead. But recently, I see that star is slowly getting brighter..."
Then it was deduced that Shuten-douji was about to be resurrected.
This answer did not exceed Minamoto Raimitsu's expectations.
Although she and Abe Seimei are from the same school, both of them studied the same basic courses, but because of their different personal preferences and talents, the learning routes and specialization skills of the two are really different.Minamoto Larimitsu is better at the stream of consciousness in the spiritual range of life and soul, and he is also very experienced in making things happen.And Seimei Abe specializes in astronomy.
Not to mention that his good at Yin-Yang art is also closely related to this aspect, he is also very good at astrology.
He often uses what he has learned in various aspects, and astrology is even more widely used. The only thing he sighs is——
What a pity that astrology doesn't work for Minamoto Yorimitsu.
It's not without joy. In the end, this situation is only because they are too close, which makes the law of "astrology can't divination oneself and the people close to you" take effect...but it's nothing.
Genji Patriarch himself is a very dazzling star.
Every night, when I look at the star representing Minamoto, I think so.
Although the life of the Son of Man is short, it is precisely because of this that it will be extremely colorful.
There are always monsters who will be attracted by such splendor and will willingly become moths to the flame——Abe Seimei thought, maybe he can't escape the influence of the half of the monster blood on his body.
Staring at a person for a long time, so fascinated by this beautiful life... There is no way.
After all it is so beautiful and gorgeous.
In the entire night sky, in the entire Milky Way, no star is more dazzling than Yuan Laiguang.
If there are legends left in this era, she must be the most magnificent color and the most conspicuous trace in the legends.
This is not because of any filter, but Minamoto Raimitsu is a very good person.
When he was an Onmyoji, his achievements were astonishing, even when he was a part-time samurai, he surpassed Hei's reputation as the strongest samurai in the world.And when she served as the head of Genji's family, the decisions she made were also very wise.
Just like before, she didn't return to the capital immediately after crusading Dajiangshan, but instead led her subordinates back to their hometown in the local area.
Because I am not in the capital, the forces and enemies who want to suppress her have been revealed, and I have also used this to exercise Guangyuan, who has been carefully cultivated by her, and took the opportunity to show myself to Emperor Tonghu once again. loyal and trustworthy.
In the process of changing places, Genji not only inspected his own property, but also eliminated many monsters.While training the new generation, Genji's prestige and status have once again been established among the people at the bottom.
——During this process, the title of "Four Heavenly Kings of Raikou" was also formed.
The so-called Four Heavenly Kings are Watanabe Tsuna, Bubu Jiwu, Sakata Kintoki, and Uui Sadamitsu. At the beginning, these four became famous in the crusade against Shuten Doji, and later in the national tour (not) during the retreat tour Also had a pretty stellar performance, and thus a huge reputation.
Because they are the four most outstanding warriors, and they are all Minamoto Yorimitsu's subordinates, unknowingly they have the title of "Raikou Four Heavenly Kings".
For this reason, Ping was very dissatisfied.
Originally, there were many conflicts between the Genji and the Heiji—after all, colleagues were enemies, and the two completely monopolized the promotion channels and lower-level resources of the samurai class. Yao, whose main task is to protect the vulnerable Onmyoji within Genji—but the collision between the two parties has always existed.
Relationships are also very bad.
To sum it up, Genji looks down on Ping, and Ping wants to step on Genji completely—this is the situation.
This is also related to the origin and fortune of the Heping family.
Although they are all families developed from the children of the royal family, Genji has always had a natural sense of superiority over the Ping family in terms of origin.
After all, Genji was developed by the princes and princesses who were reduced to the status of ministers. After losing the status of the royal family, they are also powerful ministers.The Ping family, on the other hand, was due to financial difficulties, and some of the offshoots of the royal family were given surnames. After losing their royal status, they were sent to other places.
With such a comparison, it is only natural for Genji to feel that he is more noble than Hera.As far as family development is concerned, Genji, who has always held great power, and was even comparable to the Fujiwara family before he turned to Yinyang Dao, is far better than Heira, who has always been a magistrate.
However, this situation only lasted until Minamoto's grandfather's generation.
Too many things happened in that generation, from Hengwu's move to Beijing to Genji's transfer to Yinyang Dao... After that, it was the Fujiwara family, some The well-developed aristocrats, and nearly half of their weight was fed to the Ping family by the then emperor with the saying that "they are all royal blood, and the Minamoto Ping family is no different".
The Ping family who had eaten their fill was not greedy enough, and wanted to kill Genji completely, and drive them out of the political arena to get more benefits. It would be best if they could die in the Yin and Yang way all the time.It is impossible for Genji, who has been robbed of a large amount of benefits, to have any good looks towards Pingshi. After that, the two families have almost become sworn enemies, and they must compete in all aspects.
For example, when the Ping family was in power at the local level and had many samurai under his command, Genji also vigorously developed his power in the samurai class.
At first it was for competition, but later I discovered... Onmyoji (Mage) is difficult to train, not to mention really fragile, and really needs the protection of samurai (melee combat).
In short, until now, the resources of the samurai class have been completely monopolized by the Genpei two, and the competition is only between these two.
The fight is also really brutal-there is no lack of bloodshed every year, and for the reputation of their respective families, the warriors of the two families have really cut each other quite a lot.
After all, this is an era where one's reputation is not only based on appearance, but also one's reputation is greater than the heavens. The importance of family reputation is self-evident.
Huge fame and the representatives (stars) introduced are equivalent to the best publicity, not only can get more resources in the new blood absorption, but also can severely ridicule and suppress opponents.The so-called Four Heavenly Kings of Raikou belonged to the star-making personnel pushed by Genji, and while receiving the support of Genji, they would also be targeted by Hera. After all, their existence was a blow to Hera.
However, no one will care about Genji's opinions.
The relationship between the two families is extremely bad, do you expect them to show some kindness?The old enemy is at a disadvantage, of course there is only one thing to do at this time——
That is to do everything possible to add insult to injury, trying to kill the other party at once!
"In this year, the one with the most incidents is the Hera family, right?" Abe Seimei said.
Ping's words are really... very miserable.
Counting from Minamoto's departure from Kyoto to Minamoto's return, it took a total of one year, but he experienced many blows.
The first is Light.
Although Mr. Guanghua is young, his mind is not shallow at all.Although he targeted the Ping family, he didn't do anything himself, he just gave them eye drops in front of his own father Tong Hudi.In addition, Taira is really too jumpy, and he wants to eat something good while Minamoto Raimitsu and other Genji elites are away, so he is eager to be loved by Aiko - thinking that Genji will be my son in the future, you are so foolish now Isn't Genji just cheating on my beloved second son, Emperor Tonghu, who was beaten.
And then Fujiwara.
Seeing that Emperor Tonghu made a move, Fujiwara Kane thought that what he had done before was a bit dishonest, so he should rush forward to show his loyalty at this time.Besides, Minamoto Raimitsu went out this time to crusade against Oeyama—the monster that came out of Oeyama killed my beloved daughter Hongye, and now my son-in-law wants to seek justice for my daughter, and you Taira are actually trying to hold back my son-in-law?No, this is absolutely not possible, see if I don't hit you!
And then Watanabe Tsuna.
Although the head of Shuten-douji who was escorted was taken away at Rashomon, an arm of Ibaraki-douji was also cut off.The samurai became famous for it, and he was challenged by the Taira—and won.
Tong Hudi's beating was short-lived, but the hatred from the Fujiwara family was long-lasting.There is also Tsuna Watanabe's big show to add fame to Genji——
Although Minamoto Raimitsu spent a whole year traveling around the country (not) frightening demons and ghosts, Genji really didn't suffer any losses during the year she was away, but Heira had a lot of losses.
This kind of situation makes people have to think more about whether Minamoto Raimitsu left Kyoto for so long on purpose.
"It's rare to take someone out for a trip. Naturally, I have to finish everything I want to do." Minamoto Raimiko said. "Since I'm passing by, it's the right thing to clean up."
Although she had a lot of fun on the road and produced several research results during the year she was away, she was not without work.
There is a powerful barrier in the capital, and there are many onmyoji guards, and troubles will happen from time to time.The rural areas are not guarded by barriers like in Kyoto, and there are many onmyojis on call at any time, so of course there are more monsters.
For the safety of the residents in the future, Genji will not do anything to those who can live in peace. Those who wreak havoc on the people at will, of course, belong to the scope of being thoroughly cleaned up.
Although he always takes onmyoji as a part-time job, Minamoto Yorimitsu is indeed an onmyoji.
The profession of Onmyoji masters those invisible forces, such as fate, souls, ghosts, etc., while knowing the truth, it also has the ability to dominate, and it also has a certain influence in all classes.The high-ranking people get spiritual peace and social security from the Onmyoji, while the low-ranking people get the comfort of difficult life from the Onmyoji.
Generally speaking, it is the same positioning as the spiritual pillar.
Most people's first impression of this profession is to draw amulets and chant spells to protect one side, which is not wrong.However, in this era where humans and monsters co-exist, and demon and spiritual powers coexist, the onmyoji's job is to balance the two realms of yin and yang—that is, to maintain the boundary between humans and non-humans.
Cutting apart this concept, its core is only the four words of protecting the same family.
Minamoto Raikou scoffed at the superficial responsibility of protecting the balance of yin and yang. From the bottom of her heart, she believed that it was impossible for humans and aliens to understand each other and coexist peacefully. The only way to survive and develop in a stable way was to kill the aliens. agreed.
He has also been unwaveringly walking on this road, practicing this concept with his own behavior.
He loves his ghost-slaying career from the bottom of his heart.
A noble man who kills ghosts, fights against evil, and protects the peace of the people.
Even if you ask Abe Seimei, he will say——this is the most suitable compliment for Patriarch Genji.
"Really...? So in Seimei's heart, am I such a praised person?" Yuan Laiguang asked softly.
Abe Seimei's cheeks were slightly red—maybe it was because the spiritual power contained in the plum wine in his hand was so abundant that it could easily make the great onmyoji drunk; maybe it was because the taste of the wine was too sweet to make The Great Onmyoji forgot that it was actually wine; it might also be because he was too serious to talk to his friends and didn't notice what he was drinking—in short, he did look a little drunk.
The Great Onmyoji, who drank too much plum wine without knowing it, looked smoky, and when he looked up, even his eyes were like the surface of a lake blown by a breeze, rippling with ripples.He replied earnestly: "In my heart, Raiko you exist just like this."
"In that case, why... do you have sadness in your eyes when you look at me?" Minamoto asked. "Why are you sad, Seimei?"
Abe Seimei who was asked did not answer.
He just stared fixedly at his close friend and reliable elder brother who was close at hand... His eyelashes trembled for a moment, and tears fell.
Why am I sad?
It seems that there is nothing to be sad about. We are close friends and colleagues who share the same heart...even if the so-called difference does not exist between you and me.You are the son of man with only a short life, and I am a half-demon who chose the fate of mankind... Even this is not a problem, why am I lamenting?
Is it the future?But I can't see your future... So even if you choose the most difficult path and want to be the one who cuts the thorns, I can't give you any hints.
I can't help you... and I can't save you.
I, who was left behind by you, can do nothing for you.
——However, Minamoto Raimitsu doesn't really need Abe Seimei to do anything for her.
As long as he exists, he is helping her.
In the eyes of everyone, even God, Abe Seimei is a restriction to prevent Minamoto from being too wanton. As long as he is there, even if Minamoto is out of play, someone can clean up the mess.
If it weren't for Abe Seimei, Minamoto Raikou felt that he would have to be careful in everything he did to ensure that he didn't touch Kirihudi's sensitive nerves.But now that Abe Seimei is here, Abe Seimei can take care of everything she messes up.It is precisely because his own safety is guaranteed that Emperor Tonghu will not care about what Minato Raimitsu has done at all.
Speaking of it, it seems that no one knows when, everyone has such a recognition for granted.
Abe Seimei can be trusted, as long as he is there, he will be safe.
"You have also grown a lot, Junior Brother...you have become a better opponent."
The morning of Genji on the second day began with a shocking cry from Genji:
"Brother Laiguang-!!! Why is he here!!!"
Minamoto Larimitsu, who was doing daily martial arts practice, glanced at his younger brother Guangyuan who had just come back from the palace, and looked back with Guangyuan's angry gaze——
Then I saw Abe Seimei after a hangover.
Untidy description, disheveled clothes, tired look... No matter how you look at it, it's a delicate situation.
Plus he's good looking.
Guangyuan's heart: Bah, the vixen will not try to seduce my brother Laiguang!
Abe · Fox Spirit · Seimei: ? ? ?what happened? ? ?
Seeing that the vegetable chicken Guangyuan was about to rush up to fight Abe Seimei, Minamoto stepped in in time, picked up the domestic one and put it beside him, and began to talk nonsense with his eyes open: "It seems that during the time I was away, Hikaru You get along well with Qingming? You are so happy to see Qingming."
Guangyuan's eyes were full of disbelief: "Brother Laiguang...?" How did you see that I have a good relationship with this guy?
Minamoto Raimitsu gave him a pat on the head: "Okay, don't worry about me, Hikari. It's rare to have a good friend, and there's no need to give up because of some unimportant things - Seimei, don't you think so? "
Abe Seimei, who just woke up from a hangover and was still in a state of wandering thoughts: "Ah... yes, I am exactly the same, Raikou. Even if you and I are against each other, in my heart, you will always be my senior brother."
Minamoto Larimitsu looked concerned: "Seimei...are you alright?"
Abe Seimei: "Wait a little longer and you'll be fine... Laiguang, did I cause you any trouble yesterday?"
Minamoto Laikou quickly held down Guangyuan who was about to jump up again, and replied at the same time: "No."
As for things like wine, there are always better ones than bad ones. For example, Abe Seimei just sits obediently after getting drunk, behaves well and doesn't make trouble, doesn't talk or make noise, except for being unresponsive and There are very few good children who are usually the same.
Just do whatever you want, and after laying the person down, he will fall asleep obediently.There was no punching or kicking in the middle of the night, and the sleeping appearance was as good as ever.
that is, probably
