I, Seimei, can't be an audiophile

Chapter 46 Tengu Legend

Li Qingming was extremely insecure, so he went to the boss to search for various props before preparing to leave.

——No way, the opponent this time may be a gangster!God, the kind of gangster who would really kill and rob!

How could an ordinary person living in a peaceful age like him survive?What if the other party knows something about Qimen Dunjia, or spells that reach heaven and earth, or iron cloth shirts covered with golden bells?This is the era when all kinds of legends are most prevalent!

He didn't realize that he was a man who could pull mountains and rivers and slay monsters with one hand. He carefully armed himself from head to toe, and then he took Genmanzhong, his soldiers, and Mishima Lun to Atago Mountain.

"Master Seimei, last time you asked Oboroche to take us there, this time I want you to try my spell."

Mishimawa looked like a very ordinary boy who couldn't be found among the crowd. The young student with a full sense of youth said to him shyly.

"of course can."

Li Qingming was calm on the surface, but a little excited inside, oh!When I could only take taxis, people can use magic to move through space!

At first glance, this is a French kid!When forming a group, a swordsman number plus a mage number, if you can add a nanny, wouldn't it be omnipotent?Alas, I'm just an ordinary person who can't do anything, so I can only pretend to understand.

Then Mishima shook his hands and turned into a long dragon, which swallowed them all in one gulp. Everyone spent half an hour in the darkness and screaming "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" before being spat out by the dragon again.

The dragon turned into a snake-like toy made of paper again, and returned to Mishima Lun.

"Master Seimei, what do you think of my spells? Although, although I am not as proficient as the Kugu Tsuryu you personally taught, nor can I do as detailed a description as him, I am better than him in spells!"

Li Qingming: You are so handsome, I have nothing to say!What do you want me to say, ah, that's nice. Fortunately, the fake dragon doesn't have drool, so we don't have to change clothes?

And how did you know that Seimei-sama taught Kugutsu-ryu!Think carefully!How many big bosses are there in this era, can you give me a word so that I can know?

"You...you have to explain it next time, so that everyone can be mentally prepared."

In the end, Li Qingming could only warn this stupid man who seemed to be hiding the boss.

Mishima quickly said yes, and seemed to be in a good mood.Looking at Yuan Manzhong's expression of awe, he muttered in a low voice, "When I go back, I must recruit subordinates who understand magic, otherwise how can I fight such an opponent"!

As expected of a military commander's thinking, compared to others, he first thinks of how to overthrow the opponent if the hostile force has such power!

Compared with the mountains and mountains in Huaguo, Atago Mountain is not high in altitude, but it is quite atmospheric.

This place has been a place of pure cultivation since ancient times. I don’t know if it’s because of psychological factors. Even the trees on both sides of the road are very Zen-like.

It is said to be a road, but it is not paved by the government. It is the road that generations of practitioners have walked up and down the mountain. The roots and fallen leaves are entwined on the uneven road. Looking at this route, you seem to be able to see them climbing step by step. figure.

In addition, the environment is also very beautiful. Different kinds of plants are located here. Even in the cold season, there is still greenness. Towering ancient trees abound. It seems that only here has passed through time and has not received too much human influence. Unchanged.

As always, when you first arrive at the border, you need to contact the local governing officials first, and after explaining your intentions, the other party warmly welcomes them, and even sends a small official to introduce the route for them, and act together with them.

According to the little official's introduction, Li Qingming knew why the local officials were so troubled by the kidnapping by bandits.

The reason lies in the legend of 'Tengu', which may have a relationship with monks.

Judging from the descriptions of eyewitnesses, the so-called captive tengu was dressed like a mountain amulet or a monk's uniform, which is a kind of clothing often used by practitioners in the mountains.In addition, there is a monk temple in Atago Yamamoto, which makes the government even bigger.

Buddhism seems to have declined in the early Heian period, but under the leadership of Emperor Suzaku, it has flourished again recently.

The so-called effective from top to bottom, usually not fully sure, the government would not dare to bother these practitioners.

In addition to the regular monastery, Atago Mountain is originally a spiritual mountain, and there are many practitioners who do not know where they came from, so it is even more mixed.

These practitioners are not lovers of talking or climbing mountains casually, but people who have practiced in the mountains for several years or even decades, and this place is like their back garden.

Seeing their surprise, the little official knew that these onmyojis who came from afar probably didn't know the seriousness of the problem.

"If it's just ordinary people, we still have a solution. But these practitioners, we really have no choice and dare not offend. But fortunately, I know a monk, who should know the situation in the mountains better than me."

It turned out that this was the reason why the higher-ups did not send anyone else but this little official to accompany them. He grew up near here and met a practitioner in the mountains. Through his introduction, practitioners who have always disliked worldly things will also Be willing to listen to them, answer some questions you know, maybe you can help.

A few people walked all afternoon before they finally reached the place where Monk Xingzhe often stayed. It seemed to be a deserted gazebo with no roof, standing there naked without any cover.

Climbers still often go there to rest their feet. After all, it is a flat land in the mountain, and there is a well next to it, so that people can drink a little water.

After climbing up, Mishima was already out of breath. He was sweating profusely and looked at Li Qingming, who didn't shed a drop of sweat, with admiration in his heart.

Li Qingming didn't pay attention to this problem at all. During the period when he was beating the drums, his daily training volume was less than a fraction of this. Do you think Yuan Manzhong didn't change his expression, walking on the mountain road as if walking on flat ground?

The little official was also sweating profusely when he left. He went to the well to fetch some water for himself and the others, and then motioned everyone to sit here and wait.

Li Qingming looked at the route: "Does everyone passing by come here to drink water? The well water is also left unattended?"

The little official said: "That's right. This well was left over from ancient times, and it is usually maintained by businessmen passing by themselves. If it is necessary to take care of it, where will the labor cost come from? There must be a fee. It would be inconvenient for them. "

Li Qingming thought so too, but in places where there might be bandits, the ancients were too overzealous to just drink water that anyone could have access to!

Yuan Manzhong was very keen: "In that case, if there are bandits poisoning here, wouldn't it be possible to wipe out all the travelers?"

The little official said: "Don't worry about it. The person we are going to see soon often comes to check on the well. If there is any abnormal smell or adulterated drugs in it, he will immediately notice it and notify us. What he did is entirely from the well. Kindhearted, he is a real man of virtue."

Several people waited for a while, and sure enough, a practitioner in lean and concise clothes came, with leggings around his feet, clean and neat, easy to walk, and his steps were extremely light, as if his body was weightless.

With just a few jumping steps, this person had already landed in front of them from a relatively far away position, which made people think of the legendary immortal figure flying through the clouds and fog.

When he landed in front of them, Li Qingming realized that this man was really tall, maybe nearly two meters tall, a whole circle bigger than them!

Standing in front of such a person is very oppressive.And if you observe carefully, you can find that he is different from the islanders whose facial features are generally not too prominent. The bumps in the nose and eyes are obviously three-dimensional, which is obviously different from the common local race.

——About the same difference in body size between southerners and northerners in Huaguo?Li Qingming couldn't help thinking so.

Yuan Manzhong subconsciously held the knife, but did not pull it out.

The little official hurriedly introduced to them, this is the practitioner he wanted to introduce to everyone, Mr. Jingkong.

He also explained to Mr. Jingkong that these are onmyojis from the middle of the capital, and they are investigating the incident of the Tengu.

"So that's it. Please let me help you. I have heard about the tengu's troubles for a long time, but unfortunately I haven't caught the trace of the other party. It would be great if I can help."

The little official thanked repeatedly, at this time, Yuan Manzhong suddenly spoke.

"There are rumors that the Tengu flies by like a strong wind, abducting women without anyone seeing them clearly. If you are a traveler like you, you can come and go freely in the mountains even with a woman on your back!"

The clerk was a little annoyed when he heard this, and was interrupted by Master Jing Kong just as he was about to make a distinction.

"As you said, the practitioners in the mountains can indeed do it, which is why I hope to assist you. Whether it is a demon or a demon, he has seriously disrupted the order in the mountains and made the place of Qingxiu chaos. In order to save those innocent people I will do my best to restore the cleanliness of this place."

Li Qingming asked again: "Since practitioners can do it, is it true that monks practicing in this temple can also do it as long as they practice hard?"

Mishima nodded: "It is true. When Emperor Hengmu was in power (at the end of Nara), many monks violated the law and fell into chaos. Even if the two sects of today's Dai and Shingon have reached their peak in Buddhism, there are still various esoteric religions that are widely spread. It cannot be said If you are a monk, you should rule out doubts, as long as they have the ability to do so, they should be the object of suspicion.”

There are too many objects of suspicion!No wonder the government is so hard to do!But just now he didn't understand what the kid said just now, isn't Buddhism just Buddhism?Why does it sound like a mess and there are so many cases?

Fortunately, it seemed that Yuan Manzhong didn't understand much, so he humbly asked for advice, so Li Qingming also talked to him about science.

It turns out that there are so many Buddhist sects in the island country!The teachings are different, the deities worshiped are also different, and the internal struggle is also very fierce.

Some even deviate too much from Buddhism and are classified as heretical religions.At present, the main sects that are widely recognized are Tiantai Sect and Shingon Sect, both of which belong to Esoteric Buddhism.

In addition to rejecting those cults they identified as evil, the two sects also fought each other, and in short, the interior was very chaotic.

Moreover, there is another saying about the tengu in the vicinity, which is to imply that the depraved monks who do not obey the precepts are called tengu. It is very likely that the two sects themselves can't see each other and attack each other. A kind of mockery.

Tengu, who is obviously the messenger of the gods, said, I have changed from an auspicious beast to a curse, and you monks are really too much.
