I, Seimei, can't be an audiophile

"Tengu?!"

Li Qingming's first reaction when he heard this word was that he had wings on his back, his face was high enough to be used as a desktop, and a group of fans attacked an SSR card that caused the hostile forces to collectively lose blood.

"That's right. Now there are rumors of a tengu haunting Mount Atago, who kidnapped women and robbed and killed the common people. The impact is very bad. The tengu is originally a dog god, and it is an auspicious beast that wards off evil and turns good luck. Why such a situation occurs needs to be investigated in detail. .”

After all, He Mao Baoxian said again: "I hope it won't be a sign of disaster. During the Yanxi year, there was a tengu attack, and it lit up the night for a long time like an evil star descending into the world."

……

……

The more Li Qingming listened, the more wrong he became. What evil star came to the world, what illuminated the night, isn't this an astronomical phenomenon?

After asking in detail, he finally confirmed that it was about the largest comet that could be clearly observed on Earth—

"Could this mean Halley's Comet? I remember it was from 76 to 79... I mean it will appear once every 27740 to 28835 days, and it shouldn't appear so soon. Even if it is a meteor, it doesn't seem to be the peak of the meteor shower now." period."

When he came to the island country, he was forced to make up a piece of history, and had to take notes to remember the dizzying number of years in the Heian era.

延喜是从公元901-923年左右。按照76年周期计算，是977到999年之间，按照79年来算就更久了，怎么也得980-1002年了。而且现在的历法又不是公立的年，还是用天准确些。

"Ah, leap year is not counted, so the difference is estimated to be more than ten or twenty days. Cough, anyway, I think that the tengu kidnaps people. I'm afraid it's a robber haunting. The other party is regarded as a tengu because of his superb skills. It has nothing to do with astronomical phenomena at all?"

After finishing speaking, both King Ma Cang Ye and He Mao Baoxian looked at him in shock.

Li Qingming was puzzled, why, isn't this a natural inference?

Lord Baoxian calmed down first: "Can you predict the time when the next Tengu will strike? What is the peak time of the meteor shower?"

Being questioned so earnestly, Li Qingming was not sure: "Ah, this, probably, I think, maybe... Sorry, I only know that there are meteor showers that happen regularly, but I don't know the exact time. The time of comets is also based on your statement Calculated."

The ancient calendar is different from the modern calendar. Even if he roughly knows what month the meteor shower falls in, it still doesn't match the current date.

Lord Baoxian asked again: "How do you know these things?"

Li Qingming was speechless: "Well, um, I just know."

Mainly Lord Ye Wang was present, and it was difficult for Li Qingming to explain that this is a well-known astronomical phenomenon in the future.

And when he explained it to Lord Baoxian, he only said that he was the reincarnation of Lord Seimei, but he didn't tell him how long in the future he came from.

What if Mr. Baoxian asks him about some future affairs, even if he knows, he dare not answer casually, otherwise history will be changed.

Lord Baoxian accepted his explanation: "If it's you, it's not surprising that you know something that others don't. Please don't spread this matter casually."

Li Qingming was surprised, and just about to ask why, Ma Cangye Wang sneered.

"Heh, do you want to use this information to steal more power? It is indeed you. Rather than everyone knowing the date of the tengu's attack, it is better to keep it as a secret of the Kamo family, and wait until the time when it is close to 'divination' 'Come out to usurp people's hearts even more."

Mr. Baoxian leisurely denied: "Qingming also said that it was just a feeling, without any evidence to support it. I still need to check the information to check whether it is like what he said, and it is easy to cause panic by spreading uncertain things as certain things."

The two looked at each other, and Li Qingming finally noticed that there seemed to be some conflict between the two that he didn't know about.

He thought again, it might be because Ye Wang was ill, Lord Bao Xian entrusted him with the job, Ye Wang was not very happy.

"In short, I don't think this has anything to do with astronomical phenomena, it should be □□. Logically, the matter of robbers shouldn't be left to our Onmyoji, right?"

Lord Baoxian shook his head: "Qingming, your thinking is too simple. Now that the report has been reported to us, it means that the local soldiers are no longer able to solve this matter independently. Especially when the other party appears and disappears, it makes the people even more panic. Even if you go there in person just to pray The ceremony has a great appeasement effect on the hearts of the people."

People are always afraid of the unknown, just like the previous medical incidents. If it weren’t for the allergies that resemble human faces, ordinary doctors can easily solve them, but fear prevents them from seeing the truth clearly.

By the same token, if people's fear of 'Tengu' cannot be dispelled, then the problems that should have been solved will not be solved either.

Li Qingming had a feeling, so the Onmyoji's blessing ceremony was more for those who were afraid, and it was to dispel the shadows in the hearts of the people.

Intangible things make people afraid. Once you give the invisible things a name and "expel" them, the fear in people's hearts will also go away.

"If you're worried, you can ask General Yuan to send someone to go with you. I remember that you exorcised him before, and he owed you a favor, so you shouldn't refuse."

Li Qingming didn't expect Lord Baoxian to remember this, he himself forgot about it.That's right, General Yuan Manzhong should have powerful generals under his command, so it should be acceptable for the other party to ask him to send a few people as guards.

"Master Seimei, this is my job, please let me follow you—"

King Ma Cang Ye wanted to continue to fight for it, but was rejected by Li Qingming.

"When you are sick, you need to take a good rest. Besides, if my guess is correct, there is someone pretending to be a tengu in the private sector, then there is no need for you to follow. Lord Baoxian, can I ask Mishima to go with me? ?”

Bao Xian's expression was a little unpredictable: "Mishima Lun, you chose to take him last time. Can I ask you why you chose him again this time?"

Because besides him, I only know Ye Wang and Daoman!And Mishimawa is good at those things that I don't understand about rituals, so if you want to pray for blessings, of course you have to take him!

Li Qingming really wanted to tell the truth, but there was King Ye in front of him, how could he destroy Master Qingming's omnipotent tall image in front of King Ye!

"I chose him last time because I heard that he is good at ceremonial arrangements. After I met him at that time, I felt that he was serious and responsible in his work, rigorous and flexible."

Li Qingming replied seriously, in fact, the key point is the first sentence!But when you talk back to the leader, you have to be more dignified. I chose this person because I think he can do a good job, so that it is easy to get the approval of the leader.

The leader agreed, and Li Qingming breathed a sigh of relief, so the ceremony and other issues were not something he needed to worry about.Before he went, he had to figure out the tengu and the legends related to the tengu.

After returning, Li Qingming searched back and forth in Master Qingming's bookcase, and finally found some legends and records about Tengu.

On the whole, until the Heian period, the image records of tengu were quoted from the "Shan Hai Jing", referring to an animal with a white head like a wild cat, which is an auspicious animal that wards off evil.

Spread to the island country, the image has not yet turned into a person who can fly, but is still an animal image-most of them will be regarded as a kind of "dog god".

Here I have to say that there were hunting peoples in the ancient Jomon period of the island country, and they depended on dogs for their lives. Therefore, the island country has the legend of "dog god" since ancient times.

The combination of the "Tengu" spread from the mainland and the local "Inugami" legend makes the Tengu form a special legend in the folk, full of mystery.

In addition, solar eclipses, lunar eclipses and other phenomena also had the saying of "Tengu devouring" in ancient times, so it is not surprising that astrological wonders are connected with Tengu.

And think about it, if the word Tengu stands for Inugami, which means the messenger of the gods, then the comet in the sky looks like a "messenger who descended from the sky", and it is also described with the same word. The phenomenon of "tengu attacking the world and bringing disaster" is inevitable.

As for the rumors of tengu appearing among the people, it is because of the association made by the animal image of tengu.

Since ancient times in the island country, there have been legends that foxes and civet cats can transform into adults and do various things. Tengu is also a mythical animal.

Strictly speaking, it's the confusion created by conflating three things.The Tengu in Shan Hai Jing = a kind of animal = think of a fox = think of deformation = there is a Tengu who transforms into a human to make trouble.

Tengu in the sky = Astronomical phenomenon = Messenger of heaven = Inugami = Tengu.Thieves who plunder women = people who make troubles = heavenly dogs make troubles = worry about whether there will be tengus attacking the sun (astronomical phenomenon).

They're all tengu, and they're messed up when they're mixed up. Once they're separated, the facts are clear, but we still need to investigate the situation on the spot.

Li Qingming couldn't guarantee that there would be no ghosts or ghosts at all. He had seen spells, so he could be sure that spells did exist.

However, from Seimei-sama’s records, we found the image of a tengu with wings similar to humans. It can be seen that this image is estimated to be in the late Heian period, and the evolution of people’s legends gradually appeared.

——Give me back my romance with Ootengu!

Li Qingming felt that he had been cheated of his feelings.

Forget it, anyway, when you catch the real tengu, you will know whether it is a human disguise or a supernatural phenomenon.

Thinking this way in his heart, Li Qingming was already 90.00% convinced that humans should have done it, but even if it was a human being, it would be too foolhardy for him to fight the gangsters alone.

Mishima Lun also didn't look like he could fight because of his slender arms and legs. Sure enough, he should listen to Lord Baoxian and seek strong military support.

Li Qingming went to see Yuan Manzhong, but Yuan Manzhong agreed to go with him.

"But, let the general..."

Yuan Manzhong waved his hand indifferently: "I'm very free now. In fact, except for the crusade against thieves and bandits, I basically stay in the mansion, which is extremely boring."

According to Yuan Manzhong, thieves and thieves are like seasonal flu. They are usually extremely rampant for a few months, but they are much less on weekdays. Local officials can deal with them, so there is no need for him to go out.

The military commander is most afraid of being idle for a long time, and he hears Li Qingming say that there is a chance to fight with someone. He doesn't care whether it is a person, a ghost or a monster. As long as he can fight, he can copy the guy!

"It's not confirmed yet, it's just an initial investigation, so there's really no need to be so exaggerated."

Li Qingming tried to persuade Yuan Manzhong to follow whatever he said, and finally the two agreed to take less manpower to investigate the situation first, and then go back to bring people if they really need to send troops.The initial stage is just to investigate the situation, not to fight unprepared battles!

"Don't worry, I won't let you down, Seimei-sama."

Li Qingming: You said it so aggressively, I am even more worried, okay?
