"..."

"I..." A'Du coughed lightly, and told the truth, "I came to see if you need help."

After a moment's pause, she added, "I want to help you."

There seemed to be a smile in Ma Cang Yewang's eyes.

"Then you came just in time."

As the big snake approached, the earthquake that shook the world became more and more violent. The royal family hiding in the palace huddled together in horror. A'Du suddenly understood why people in ancient times always described natural disasters as the wrath of gods.

Ma Cangye Wang looked at the big snake that was about to approach Suzaku's gate: "Although this is just a forgery, it also inherits some of the characteristics of Yamata no Orochi from the story."

A'Du: "Are you talking about the story about the Suju Mingzun getting drunk and beheading the Yamata no Orochi with a ten-fist sword?"

"Exactly. The scales of Yamata no Orochi are so hard that they cannot be killed by ordinary methods. You must use a magic weapon to chop off all eight heads in one go."

...but they don't have the Ten Fist Sword now.By the way, does this kind of thing in the myth of "Ancient Matters" really exist?

"Although there is no legendary ten-fist sword, don't forget the curse of your name."

To cross means to cross boundaries.

When she met King Ma Cang Ye's eyes, she was stunned for a moment, and then she came to her senses.

If defense is also a boundary that can be crossed... Then she understands, her skills are armor piercing, critical strike, and killing things that are difficult to kill in this world.

The speed of the blood flow seemed to be faster, and A'Du couldn't help laughing: "Are you suggesting that I kill a god? Although it is a false god."

"As you can see, I can't get away easily now." King Ma Cang Ye didn't chant a mantra or use a medium, the front ghost and the rear ghost holding the ax suddenly descended from the sky, and fell to the front of the pentagram with the heavy sound A huge cloud of smoke and dust rose from the open space.

"However, my shikigami can go with you."

Ma Cang Yewang smiled and said, "Are you willing to kill the snake, A'Du?"

...Are you actually asking Heianjing to be the strongest to support her?

In this way, she couldn't refuse even if she wanted to, although she didn't intend to back down.

A'Du glanced at King Ma Cang Ye: "How much can you use with one mind?"

He smiled and said, "Try it and you will know."

The legendary Yamata no Orochi's eyes are bright red like blood, its huge back is covered with moss and trees, and its festering abdomen is bloody and bloody.

A'Du stood in front of the palace gate, with the front ghost and the rear ghost standing behind her, one left and one right behind her, as the huge black shadow approached, a strange tremor surged through her limbs, her attention became unprecedentedly concentrated, As sharp as a sharpened blade.

The breathing slowed down, and the spiritual power like water covered the whole body. The moment the spirit body was transformed, the big snake opened its huge mouth, and swooped towards her position with lightning speed.

She turned over and jumped back, stepped onto the wall of the palace gate in an instant, and with a kick, narrowly avoided the first snake head. The knife-like wind blew across her cheek, and the other snake head opened its fangs from the side , was clamped by the back ghost and slammed on the ground.

There was a deafening noise, and a spiderweb-like crack split open on the ground in an instant. She turned around and slashed open the oncoming giant mouth. The blade cut into the cracked mouth, split the huge head in two, and fell Bai Sensen stomped hard on the throat of the snake again, rushed towards the rear ghost on the ground, turned his wrist, and flashed the blade again.

two.

The stinky blood burst, and the queen ghost threw her back. The snake head that came close to the ground opened its mouth. The huge black mouth was like an abyss, and the queen ghost that was supporting its upper and lower jaws flew far away, and She just adjusted her figure in the air, and in the corner of her eyes, two huge snake heads with scarlet eyes had already surrounded her from left to right.

The sharp wind screamed in her ears, and she turned over and landed on the wall of Suzaku Avenue. The red front ghost descended from the sky with an ax in hand, and with a sharp metallic blunt sound, the sharp ax hit the armored snake Scales, bursting bright sparks in the dark.

The snake head wailed, and smashed into the wall below him. The next moment, another snake head bit the former ghost, and violently shook its head, sending it flying straight away.

The momentary gap was enough, A'Du jumped out, the blade in his hand went from top to bottom, slashing fiercely at the writhing and struggling snake's head leaning against the wall.

Three.

The fourth snake let out a deafening roar, and opened its deep throat enough for an adult to walk in. She quickly jumped back, her white fangs brushed against the wide sleeve of the hunting jacket, and the corrosive venom was burning like fire, but this Nothing compares to the almost suffocating stench.

Vision was blurred for a moment, just a moment of distraction, the huge snake tail slammed towards her, she raised her arm at the last moment, concentrating all her spiritual power on the scabbard in front of her.

boom--

The reverberating metallic buzz seemed to ring directly in the skull, and then, the world suddenly began to reverse rapidly.

Night Breeze screamed almost shrill in her ears, and the surrounding scenery was twisted into a blurred straight line. She was violently pulled out by the big snake's tail, and flew backwards towards the Rashomon Gate at the southernmost part of Suzaku Avenue like a cannonball.

Out of the corner of her eye, A'Du saw the red figure of the former ghost. She swallowed the blood foam in her mouth, turned around in the air, and held the sweat-soaked knife handle again.

The time was neither too early nor too late, the former ghost just unfolded the ax in his hand, she fell on the axe, the wide sleeves of the hunting clothes were blown up by the night wind, and the whole body suddenly kicked forward with strength, the former ghost sent her forward at the same time, The howling night wind tore at the edge of vision, and the head of the snake rushing towards her was extremely clear.

It bared its fangs and opened its abyss-like mouth.

In the next moment, a bright knife light flashed through it, she passed through the split head, came to the snake head behind, turned around fiercely and made a knife!

five.

The tail of the snake drew again, this time she took advantage of the momentum, flew backwards quickly, adjusted her figure in the air, landed on the axe of the former ghost again, kicked her feet, and was sent forward by the former ghost with great strength— —

This time it is up.

She jumped into the sky, the sound of the wind whispered in her ears, and the upside-down world suddenly fell silent. A huge moon hung in the night sky, reflected in her wide-open pupils, as if it was within reach.

The weightless body suddenly became as light as a feather, the violent wind stopped howling, and the world stopped at the same time.

She raised her head and saw Heian-kyo, where the ground was like a chess board, and the rolling mountains. From the corner of her eyes, the moon was as bright as day in the sky. For a moment, it was hard to tell whether she was facing the ground or Falling toward the moon in the night sky.

The momentary pause was infinitely elongated, as light as nothing, and the feeling of looking down on the earth from a high altitude made people feel so free, as if she had already left the body at this time——

Then, the pull of gravity came suddenly again.

The whistling wind was coming towards her, she turned around in the air, and on the ground, the remaining three snake heads showed their huge mouths that were strangely wide, biting towards her.

A'Du clenched the handle of the knife tightly, and took a deep breath.

The highly focused brain went blank, and all movements slowed down, as clear as water.

The blade sliced ​​through the scales, submerged into the flesh and blood attached to the bones, and cut off the heavy snake heads one after another. Pieces of blood swirled out, bursting into scarlet rain in the night sky.

The moment she turned over and landed, she sheathed the knife.

eight.

The huge body that lost its head swayed, and after the silence, with a loud bang, it slumped to the ground.

The ground under her feet was thrown up like waves, and she staggered forward, but was caught by the blue ghost behind her.

At that time, she seemed to mutter something, maybe thank you, or maybe I will trouble you next time.

With all the strength taken from her body, she let go of the handle of the knife, her knees softened, and she let the overwhelming darkness rush in like a tide.

……

It's raining.

The capital, which had been drought for many days, finally ushered in the midsummer showers.

As the sound of the pattering rain gradually became louder, the closed doors opened one after another, and the residents of Heian-kyo flocked to the streets to welcome this new-born rain.

A'Du really wanted to go out and take a shower in the rain after a long time, but Ma Nu was staring at her, so she could only touch her nose and sit back, honestly staying under the eaves with the stocks who didn't like water.

King Ma Cang Ye: "I'm going out for a while, and I'll be back soon."

"...Where's the umbrella?" A'Du regained consciousness belatedly, and shouted towards the entrance, "Don't you have an umbrella?"

By the way, was there such a thing as an oiled paper umbrella in the Heian period?In her limited impression, she seems to have only seen coir raincoats and bamboo hats in this era.

The Great Onmyoji may not worry about getting wet from the rain, because Ma Cang Yewang's figure quickly disappeared outside the door.

The noisy sound of the rain has no tendency to stop for a while, and the rainwater rolling down from the eaves forms a string. In a certain mansion in Sakyo Gojo, there is an empty room with open doors. A figure sits in front of the hall, holding a long-lost The moving wine cup seems to be enjoying the rain scene.

The gray and foggy rain curtain broke for a moment, and the raindrops were ejected by an unknown force. Like pearls and jade, they shattered and splashed in the open space of the courtyard. Several shikigami were bound by the unknown force and fell to the ground in embarrassment. .

"Leave the capital, Hamo Tadharu."

The man holding the wine cup laughed: "Are you here to give an ultimatum to the loser?"

"No, I'm going to give you some advice for the sake of the past." King Ma Cang Ye stood under the eaves, looking at the misty rain in the distance, "If you leave now, I can pretend that I didn't find anything."

"Should I thank you for your generosity?" Tadashi Yumo showed a sneering look, "King Asang Ye, who loyally served the imperial court, also saved Heianjing from fire and water this time. Do you like protecting those pedantic nobles so much?"

"Isn't it good to let them be killed by the crimes I caused by myself? I just helped those wraiths and gave them a chance to avenge the corrupt and incompetent nobles."

King Ma Cang Ye withdrew his gaze.

"You don't need to make those high-sounding excuses."

He looked at the person who froze slightly.

"I know what you're thinking, and why you attacked the palace."

Ma Cang Ye Wang slightly lowered his eyelids: "What you want is the power to trample the world under your feet. If your plan succeeds that night, the big snake will kill the Fujiwara family, so that the people behind you will become the Fujiwara family Patriarch, as for you, you will replace me as the new yin and yang head."

"You don't even want to restore the glory of Yu Mao's family, you just want to climb to a higher position purely for your own selfishness, you don't care about the suffering of others at all, why use seemingly correct remarks to dress up your shameful selfish desires .”

Endless rain fell from the sky, and a clammy chill filled the air.

Amidst the silent rain, Tadashi Yumo's face gradually turned livid.

"So those rumors are true." He said hoarsely, "You are a monster who can spy on people's hearts."

King Ma Cang Ye did not answer.

He looks away.

"...that's all I have to say, you can do it yourself."

The figure in hunting clothes stepped into the rain, and the rain curtain automatically separated to the two sides, blocked by invisible forces.

"Ma Cang Ye Wang!" There was a crisp sound of the wine cup being broken, Yu Mao Zhongzhi stumbled and stood up, "How far are you going to insult me!!"

The shikigami submerged in the water suddenly moved. With soaring murderous aura, they opened their sharp claws and exposed their fangs, and swooped towards the figure in hunting clothes in an instant.

With a slight pause under his feet, King Ma Cang Ye turned his head slightly at that moment, and suddenly looked at him.

The voice without sadness or joy passed through the silent rain curtain, and there was a deep chill in the eyes without smiles.

——"I told you, I can hear what you're thinking."

The shikigami turned back into the talisman paper, and instantly ignited spontaneously without wind, turning into ashes and scattered. Yumo Tadaji froze on the spot, cold sweat slipped down his pale cheeks, the red former ghost held a heavy ax with a sharp blade stuck to his throat.

"Including the idea that you want to kill me."

The former ghost put away his weapon, and the sweaty man fell to the ground with a plop.

"The inspection of non-violation is coming soon, and it is up to you to decide what to choose next."

The figure in the safari suit gradually faded away in the smoky rain.

The sound of the rain seemed to get louder, Hamo Tadashi raised his face stiffly, and the rainwater slanted by the wind fell on his face.

It's freezing cold in midsummer.

The author has something to say:

① Inspection of non-violation: in charge of administration, public security, and justice in the Heian era.
