The demise of the Yumenyuan clan left two troubles for 99 Chao, and he didn't know if there was a third one.

As a descendant of Onmyoji, he attracted a group of deadly enemies, Nuliang, and cooperated with them internally and externally to design differences and traps among the patriarchs, which eventually led to the defeat of the family that had been brewing a thousand-year-old conspiracy.

——For such a scourge, Seimei Mimonin, a collection of curses originating from the Great Onmyoji, took revenge on Mimonin Chao deeply before his death.

He used a vicious technique to awaken the sleeping unstable blood in the young man's body, imprinted curses on his hands, and branded the black dormant star of Yumonin on the backs of his hands.

This curse brought him bone-piercing pain, and the aura of demons rushing to him. The awakened demon blood made him neither belong to human beings nor monsters, and he had a nearly endless lonely lifespan.

99 Chao slightly raised his head. He stood above the Red Sea, under the blue sky, with black hair fluttering.

The world is vast, the wind never ceases, and the magnificent nine tails of flames swing behind him, brilliant and lonely.

He spoke again.

"Those who are unknown, those who are unknown, quickly go back to where they should go..."

The seemingly soft tail of the flame rose an inch behind, and a tail was slightly bent, revealing a longbow wrapped tightly in the fire, and then hovered in front of the boy's eyes as it was pulled by the bloody hand.

A longbow with a tail.

99 towards the lead string, the arrow draws out the outline along with the spell.

"The bow of the five elements, the bow and arrow of the god of valor, the arrow that leaves the string—"

The clear voice turned into a sonorous and forceful voice, "Shoot at the demon!"

The arrow flew across the Hozu River like a flash of lightning!

There was a flash of thunder and lightning, but it missed the shadow of the bird in the forest. An invisible barrier covering the maple forest on the other side of the river was struck with turbulent force by the arrow, and the red leaves scattered and shattered.

What the arrow hit was not a monster, but the entire maple forest.

Human words affect demons, and demons affect regions.

This maple forest has formed a monster's illusion. The difference between the monster's illusion and the cursed domain is that the illusion is a non-enclosed territory. According to the legend of Shenyin, some people entered the mountain forest and disappeared because they accidentally walked away. Into the illusion of monsters, lost in the mysterious world of time and space.

However, this illusion is not mature enough, and the frequent tourists restrict the pace of monsters.

In the maple forest, the bird shadow slowly raised its neck, waved its wings, and flew out of the cover of the red leaves.

The countless red leaves that had been knocked into chaos were controlled again, and with the strong wind, one after another leaves were rolled up, like a vortex of fire wrapped in the sky.

In the vortex, huge flying birds landed on the branches.

It is indeed the shadow of a huge bird, without substance, and the red in different shades and brightness is like a distorted TV screen constantly flashing. The messy and weird visual effects make people feel extremely dazzling and nauseated.

99 faced the face without changing his face, staring at the bird's shadow, drawing the string again, his eyes with clear pupils swirled into a deep blackness again, and then the stars emerged.

The stars change and are unpredictable, and their trajectories are complicated and difficult to distinguish.

Onmyojis are people who have spent their entire lives observing the stars, and their eyes are a brocade star map.

The blue sky was cloudless and moonless, but the sea of ​​stars shone in the young man's eyes, as if he saw the real body behind the red shadow of the monster through his eyes now, and 99 Chao also saw the consequences of his downfall of the Yumenyuan family back then.

He felt that he could bear it, so he chose to continue to be an enemy.

The curse on the back of the hand was unbearably painful, so I went to the wish store to make gloves that could suppress the curse.

Collect all kinds of weapons, if you don't know how to use them, you will go to the gymnasium in Kyoto, the school's club, to practice the skills you use.

Human beings can't be exposed to evil spirits often, so it's not boring for him to raise a ghost to eat an extra bite.

Nuliang Huapiao was shocked by his positive attitude towards life at the beginning, and nagging with his grandson is probably because he had a bad life in the past, so he spontaneously felt compensatory to himself. It is impossible for us such a big group to support one and a half Demon, take care of him more in the future.

99 Chao put a question mark on the little old man. It's about compensation. Do people treat themselves badly if they don't treat themselves well? Of course you want to treat me well, there is no problem at all.

But don't give me any messy character design.

Xia Youjie didn't know yet, but only after getting acquainted with 99 Chaos could he see his more emotional side.

Now when he looked up, he could only see the red leaves being summoned to fly, revealing a wide field of vision.

He saw the young man surrounded by flames on the high tower in the distance, his eyes were like stars, calmly and coldly confronting the red shadow bird, whose body was as huge as a mountain, he could only see the bird's long neck and beak that seemed to be dripping blood, Horrible and full of resentment.

He couldn't imagine what it would be like to face the cursed 99 times.

Suddenly, Xia Youjie opened his eyes wide.

Arrows flew across the sky like lightning again.

The four arrows were not aimed at the Shadow Bird or the Red Leaf Illusion, but at a wall.

——An invisible wall of air erected on the Hozu River.

When the invisible wall of the tall sky shattered, the earth and the earth trembled!

This is……

99 toward lowering the bow.

On the other side of him, the warning call of the shadow bird suddenly became hoarse and shrill. When it raised its wings, it seemed that it had many strong muscles and wing bones on its body. The stream of water is approaching the young man on the pagoda, his body is like a heavy red cloud, and the eagle is poking for the young prey.

The approach of the shadow bird made the red color on its body even more bewitching, 99 Chao still didn't blink his eyes, turned around with one free hand and pulled out a weapon from the flame tail.

Erwei's iron fan.

The black iron fan with the length of the forearm suddenly became as big as half the eaves during the flipping, and it hit the shadow bird's head heavily.

The shadow bird suffered a heavy blow, its whole body sank, and its head fell in front of the boy's feet. The heavy iron fan pressed its neck, causing it to succumb, and the bricks and tiles fell in all directions.

"—"

The monster let out a weak cry, and found that the fan was heavy and hard, which made him unable to lift his head for a while.

The monster leaned over, but 99 Chao did not make up the knife, but knelt down on one knee in front of it, and took out something.

"You've always wanted to cross the river because of him?"

In the boy's arms was a pale deer skull.

……

The Shadow of the White Deer under Xia Youjie no longer moved, his figure became dimmer, and finally disappeared.

He withdrew his hand, turned around and quickly headed in the direction of Jiguang Temple.

"The maple viewing season is approaching. The monsters in the forest didn't hurt the tourists coming and going and the monks in the temple. They only rammed the train across Sagano when they encountered demons, because he was stopped." Oboroche When descending, 99 looks down at a small path in the distance, and Kazuo Koizumi is rushing towards the agreed place with his things, "The train tracks pass by trains day after day, especially in the season of autumn leaves, forming a crowd full of people. road, so that monsters cannot cross the river."

"On the other side of the river, there should be something very special to him."

Kazuo Koizumi brought a deer skull. According to ancient legend, Master Xingyuan once saw a mountain man shoot a doe, and a deer crawled out of the belly of the doe covered in blood. Starting from the doe, scriptures were written all over the deerskin.Later, many people believed that the white deer had spirits, and there were many temples in Sagano. Kazuo Koizumi asked all the monks in Arashiyama all night, and learned that there was indeed a temple dedicated to a white deer that was said to have died under the red maple decades ago.

The most important thing is that the deer bones in the shrine were accidentally cleaned by the trainee monk who fell down and opened a long crack. The time coincided with the date when the train had changed.

At that time, Xia Youjie was standing aside and saw 99 Chao took the bone of the white deer from the administrator's hand with a clear expression, his face was hidden in the shadow of the tree, and his eyes were dark and emotional.

He was skeptical.

99 Zhao didn't know, but when he was in the car, Xia Youjie felt that he was the sorcerer he just mentioned, who didn't believe that there was a difference between monsters and magic spirits.

——Although he has lost his memory, the knowledge of spells is no longer a matter of memory for him, but a kind of almost instinctive cognition.

When he was in the Nuliang group, he faced the existence of monsters and was surprised. He didn't know how to deal with it, so he just went through a cutscene with 99 Chao in silence.And when he was in the old mansion in Kyoto, he had always had murderous intentions towards those two little monsters who slammed down the wall.

He thinks there should be no difference between monsters and curse spirits.

Cursed spirits are curses of human negative emotions, as long as they exist, they will harm human beings, and should be exorcised and manipulated.

There are no monsters and gods in the world, only curses born of humans.

These cognitions troubled Xia Youjie.

Even if he didn't remember his spell, he could still feel that the long-standing knowledge about the spell was deeply rooted in his heart.

In the world of conjurers, there are only dark curses and nothing else.

What is contradictory to this is that he cannot explain his own existence, let alone the existence of 99 Chaos.

He saw the youthful fox tail on the high tower as beautiful as a dream, and saw the red shadow bird weeping in front of the white deer's skull.

He also saw the short dream that 99 Chao once had.

The white deer listened to the shamisen until it was old, and finally fell asleep under the red maple. The monk's scriptures later paved a way for its spirit to cross the river. When the autumn frost stained the treetops, it was as promised come.

But the deer bone was destroyed, and the shadow of the deer spirit became dimmer. The monster on the red maple wanted to see it, but was blocked by the human way, and the pain was unbearable.

How stupid.

After Xia Youjie knew the reason, he only thought coldly.

Curses generally seldom leave their territory. Most curses can't think and have low intelligence, let alone play and appreciate the music struck by human instruments.

The monster destroyed the train, wounded people recklessly, and formed an ugly shadow that appeared in the maple viewing place with the largest flow of people.

"But I may not get rid of him..."

Before the two parted ways, 99 Chao stood in the forest with his bones in his arms, stroked the gap above, and then looked at the tall pagoda to consider the appropriate position, "How can magicians and psychics understand monsters, so this kind of It is the Onmyoji who needs to step into the matter."

Xia Youjie looked at him indifferently, "Isn't it for making money?"

99 Chao also criticized him with his eyes, "disappointing", and then his eyes suddenly brightened as if he had thought of something, and he held the bone in Xia Youjie's hand, "Humans have the rewards of humans, and monsters have the rewards of monsters. Come on, conjurer, monsters are not the same as curses, they can also reason."

Of course Xia Youjie didn't believe such words, but like every time he saw a monster and was suspicious, he didn't make a sound.

He will not refute 99 Chao, because this is what 99 Chao promised him.

……

At this moment, in front of the long-haired conjurer, the tail of the fox is shining brightly, the maple leaves are fierce, and the shadow of the white deer is wandering.

What Xia Youjie thought was the dark and cursed world seemed to fall into three unpredictable colors.It was as if a pen sank into the dark and deep ink, unscrupulously stirring the purple sand and vermilion, and then a drop of white ink fell in, and the three colors suddenly went to the extreme, colliding in the world he thought was shockingly charming!

"Xia You—" The young man's voice came from a distance, and he couldn't hear it clearly.

"The monster ran to your side—!"

Xia Youjie turned his head and took a breath.

He saw it.

It was a brighter and more eye-catching color than the burning flames. Thousands of red leaves rushed from the mountain like a flood under the action of the demon power. They hit the gate of the shrine and exploded, rushing into the entire Changjiguang Temple.

The quietly flowing water of the Hozu River reflects the shadows of clusters of red leaves running like dragons.

It was as if all the red leaves in the mountain were summoned, flew out with the wind, and landed in front of Xia Youjie as if attracted, slowly condensing the true face of the monster.

The deep mountain road descends from top to bottom, and the stone lanterns beside the road are lit one after another.

As if under the burning lights of the maple forest, the swirling red leaves spread out, and a woman who covered her face respectfully with a salute gesture appeared in front of Xia Youjie.Her black hair was like clouds, her skirt was like clouds, and there were two pointed ghost horns on her forehead. The wind blew her cloud-like clothes, revealing a pair of sharp bird claws under the shadow of her clothes.

In ancient times, there was a rumor that there was a ghost girl in Huyin Mountain, who dyed the green leaves all over the mountains with blood. In many legends, she has different images and names, the princess of Longtian, the daughter of Wuye... 99 dynasties are already in the daytime He guessed his identity when he saw the traces of the bird's claws.

Hongye hunting.

Momoko Kari slowly raised his head, revealing a face as gorgeous as Hongfeng's, and his pupils erected like two flaming will-o'-the-wisps that never go out.He glanced at the long-haired young man in front of him, as if confirming something, then lowered his eyes, and immediately the whole figure turned into a streamer and flew towards Xia Youjie with a burning gust of wind!

Xia Youjie:!

When the wind calmed down, a gleaming red maple leaf with five angles hung in front of his eyes.

Xia Youjie froze for a moment, looked at the leaf, and stretched out his hand out of nowhere, the flowing red leaves melted into a magnificent liquid and flowed into his palm in just one breath.

Footsteps came from behind, and 99 rushed back one step, and was relieved to see that Xia Youjie was fine.

He had a chat with Momiji, and would find a way to help him mend the deer bone, and even if he couldn't mend it, he would let the white deer come out again, not a dim white shadow that couldn't communicate, but just as it was when he was alive.

Shadow Bird looked at his starry eyes and the fox tail behind him, shrank his own shadow, and asked to follow him temporarily to prevent him from breaching the contract.

Momiji Kari is a monster trapped by Sagano. If he wants to leave Arashiyama, he must sign a temporary contract with Ninety-Nine Chaos and use his power to leave.

99 showed embarrassment on his face.

In fact, he doesn't have the extra ability to take in another shikigami. Although Xia Youjie is just a ghost, in order to prevent him from being negatively affected by humans, it takes a lot of effort to raise him.

Unexpectedly, when Hong Yeshou heard this, he ran towards Xia Youjie's way. 99 Chao thought he was going to attack Xia Youjie to take the shikigami's position, and said to himself, don't be impulsive, ninety percent worried about the monster and one point worried about Xia Youjie, and ran down.

Fortunately, okay, there was no fight.

Since Hongyekari didn't come to attack Xiayou, there was no problem.

But what's going on with the current situation, what about Momiji Kari?

There was a little doubt in the boy's eyes, and he saw the long-haired young man standing in the maple forest looking back, and took a deep look at himself.

"what happened?"

Xia Youjie looked at him quietly.

He is a person who doesn't show his emotions very much, and he also knows that he has always been a purposeless existence. Because of the simple reason that "becoming a curse is too wasteful" in the boy's mouth, he didn't think too much when he became a shikigami.

And this onmyoji boy from the monster organization did follow the promise when we first met, and never asked him to do anything.

He has been watching from the sidelines all the time, and gradually he can't help but wonder what the relationship between himself and 99 Chao is.

Shikigami and Onmyoji?

Curse spirits and conjurers?

friend?family?Just roommates who live together?

Hongye's monster ran up to him, projected words into his mind in that glance, told 99 Chao about the negotiation with him just now, and knew the boy's embarrassment.

Hong Yekari also knew that Xia Youjie could solve this problem.

He can indeed handle it.

Xia Youjie suddenly laughed helplessly, raised his brows slightly, and relaxed a little with a gloomy expression all the time.

Now that 99 Chao has fulfilled the agreement, he should also take steps.

……

【No betrayal, no harm, no disobedience...】

[Shikigami's contract is about these... But I'm not as powerful as you, so it can't be done. If something happens to me because of my problem, you should be able to solve it.I have always been alone, and now I want to experience a normal life, and I am about to leave for Kyoto, so you can take it as me looking for a companion. 】

In the alley, the boy took off his gloves while talking, exposing the dark dormant star on the back of his hand to the air, and the sting of the curse made his ring finger and little finger tremble obviously.

[My real name is Mimonin Tomo. 】

[You don't remember what happened before you were alive?I don’t care about this, it’s better to say it’s a challenge...]

But the boy still stretched out his hand, raised his chin slightly when he spoke, and assured Xia Youjie calmly and calmly.

[Starting today, Xia Youjie. 】

The boy's voice was loud and clear, and his eyes were as bright as the sea of ​​stars.

"I am the one who will bring you to know the world again."

Take you to know countless beautiful and dreamlike worlds of monsters.

……

Xia Youjie raised his hand and drank the magnificent red liquid in his palm.

...Since such restraints have been made, I can't let you die irresponsibly and easily.

99 toward.
