I, Seimei, can't be an audiophile

Mishima Wa seemed to have done his homework before coming here, and he talked endlessly when he mentioned the culture of Inugami.

But because these things sounded irrelevant to the case for the time being, Li Qingming basically went in with his left ear and out with his right ear.

They followed the cultivator and walked around the scene of the incident—of course, the autumn leaves had already fallen, and there was nothing.

Afterwards, they visited a nearby temple and found that this is the temple of the Shingon sect, while Mount Hiei, opposite to this mountain, is the monks of the Tendai sect.

As Mishima Lun said, they have a lot of resentment towards each other. The Shingon monk even suspected that the Tiantai monk incited rumors that it was the work of the tengu to reduce the number of pilgrims who came.

Yuan Manzhong frowned when he heard this: "You are all monks, and you all practice Buddhism. Why are you arguing about it? I have heard that Buddhism can even accommodate hundreds of rivers. It is a doctrine that is inclusive of all phenomena. Why are you still arguing about it?" endlessly?"

Mishima Lun said: "It's not surprising. Some gods' natures overlap with each other, and everyone will argue about who is more capable and who is the real deity. Some gods conflict with each other, and everyone will argue about who is the good god and who is more powerful. should be adored by people.

Even if it is the same deity, different practice methods will keep arguing. This is how human beings keep arguing, pondering, and learning in order to make progress. "

After hearing this, the Shingon monk said yes again and again, and chatted with Mishima about Buddhism. There have been many conflicts.

Scolding each other about Tengu, creating rumors is still the lightest, and in serious cases, there were even times when they directly rubbed against each other.

The main conflict is that the two mountains are too close to each other, and they are practitioners of different schools, so things like robbing believers or grabbing territory happen from time to time.

But even the Shingon monks don't think that the Tiantai monks intentionally hurt the people in order to blame them. They think that most of them are so-called by thieves, and the Tiantai monks use rumors to blame and attack them.

"Speaking of tengu, dogs were called the messengers of the gods in the past, but they were gradually distorted into curse words."

Mishima couldn't help but explore further.

"This may be related to the ancient ethnic struggles. Hunting peoples use dogs as partners to hunt together, so most dogs are worshiped and loved as house gods.

But in the later period, the farming people had the upper hand. From the perspective of the farming people, dogs are dangerous and cruel creatures, just like the hunting peoples who competed with them for land.

The conflict between the two sides led to the gradual evolution of the belief in "dog god" into "dog" being a curse word, and the living habits of the ancestors can be seen from the customs. "

Li Qingming thought it made sense, maybe it was.He couldn't help feeling that Mishima Wa is definitely a folklorist and historian in modern times, and he is very suitable for people who do research on cultural inheritance.

In the end, there was still no clue about the Tengu. They bid farewell to Xingzhe, went back to the place where they lived, and bid farewell to the little official before discussing the next arrangement.

From Mishima Lun's point of view, whether Tengu is a thief or a monk or anything else, it has nothing to do with them.

They are onmyojis, as long as they do a good blessing ceremony.If there is really some kind of dog, the wind will block it.If anything happens, the local authorities are not doing well, and they have done everything they should do.

Yuan Manzhong felt that the reason why the local officials here almost let it go was directly related to the monks on these two mountains.

Gathering so many monks, and all of them are powerful, how can the staff in this area manage it, if they dare to do so?

It is best to take advantage of the Tengu incident to beat these monks and let them know that they are all under the emperor's feet, and they must restrain their overly arrogant posture.

Li Qingming felt that one of these two wanted to calm things down, and the other wanted to make things bigger, which was completely inconsistent with his original intention of coming here.

At first, I just heard that someone pretended to be a tengu, so I wanted to catch the villain and rescue the innocent captive woman, that's all.The problem is that the kidnapped are all women, and they have no clues, how to catch—ah!

Li Qingming thought of it.

All TV, movies, novels, at this time, don't you often use that plot?It's that, that!

So, only, is that so?

"Wicked men will kidnap women, we need a bait."

He told the other two seriously.

Those two obviously haven't realized what will happen, they looked at him in a daze.

"Of course we can't use innocent women as bait, so—"

He looked at Yuan Manzhong, five big and three rough, one bad guy.

Looking at Mishima Wa again, she has an ordinary appearance, just like a high school student.

And the two looked at themselves together.That's right, isn't he the most suitable for women's clothing among the three?

Li Qingming didn't change his face: "Go find me a set of women's clothes, and I'll be the bait."

What is women's clothing! There is no gender when cosplaying!Besides, this is Seimei-sama's dress, I want to see it too!

Yuan Manzhong was a little shaken, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he looked moved. He was probably thinking that Master Qingming did not hesitate to dress up as a woman in order to catch Tengu. As expected of Master Qingming, he always put people's livelihood first!

He didn't want to get involved in trouble, but he also wanted to see Seimei-sama's women's clothing!

Cough, it's not that he has strange hobbies, he's just very curious, what will Master Qingming look like in women's clothing, Master Qingming is very handsome, if he turns into a girl, it seems to be too? !

Because of various complicated reasons (?), this plan was approved by everyone in a second, and soon they got a set of clothes that ordinary traveling women often wear, and they also got a set of servant-like clothes for Mishima Rin.

Li Qingming used women's loose robes to cover all kinds of weapons (?) hidden close to his body, including his copper flute, iron fan, claws, and a lot of things, which made him feel that women's clothing is really suitable for carrying arms.

Yuan Manzhong still felt that something was wrong: "Master Seimei, who seems to have just changed into a suit, doesn't think it's a woman's attire at all."

Mishima Wa: "It's a matter of temperament, and there is no makeup yet. Seimei-sama, let me do your makeup!"

——How did you kid do this so aggressively!

Alas, King Ma Cang Ye must not know what he missed.

Resolutely rejecting Li Qingming, who had a powder face and black teeth, he opened a fan to cover half of his face.

Mishima nodded: "That's good, this way, half of your face is blocked, so that people can't see your too thin chin."

That's right, the beauties in the Heian era were all big-faced!Thin, but not beautiful enough, not rich enough!

There is also long hair, the better the maintenance, the longer the hair can show the beauty of women.Seimei-sama's hair is quite qualified, and Mishima Wa specially made it into a hairstyle and tied it behind her head, making her look very elegant and beautiful.

Yuan Manzhong praised: "Your skills are good, so it seems that Lord Qingming can pretend to be a big beauty."

——Why use it!

Li Qingming felt dissatisfied, Master Qingming is as dazzling as a star now!It's because the aesthetics of your era haven't kept up with the trend, how can you blame Seimei-sama for pretending to be a beautiful woman?

Tucao return to Tucao, they adjusted their attire again, so that Li Qingming looked more like a lady pilgrim from a slightly rich family who came to offer incense, and then brought a servant dressed as Mishima wheel to walk around the accident-prone area .

Yuan Manzhong expressed doubts about this. Will the gangsters who have committed crimes go to the same place to commit crimes again?Shouldn't he just shoot and change places?

Li Qingming thinks that the majority will.Why do serial killers have a relatively fixed pattern of killing?

It means that you are familiar with one method, and you can use it with peace of mind, and it is not easy to switch to another method.

In the same way, the captive area is probably an easy place for the gangster to start. As long as he is not caught, it is not surprising that he appears again.

As for Yuan Manzhong, he is too conspicuous, even wearing ordinary clothes can't suppress his temperament, and he can't pretend to be a handyman, so he can only follow them from a distance and secretly protect them.

On the way, Mishima Lun couldn't help reminding Li Qingming: "I know Master Qingming knows it well, but if you really encounter robbers, you'd better be patient first. We need to know where the other party has captured the girls."

Li Qingming said: "I know this, don't worry!"

Mishimawa: "Also, you'd better change your voice when you speak, and lower your voice to say that it's not easy to be seen through."

Li Qingming: "Oh."

To increase the authenticity, they actually hiked up the mountain in these clothes to worship Buddha, but they were stopped by monks in the middle of the journey.

"Sorry, benefactor, no women are allowed to enter further up."

-

Unexpected series!

Mishima asked quickly: "My young lady came here to pray for her seriously ill parents. She walked thousands of miles away. Even if the Buddha knew about it, he would pity her for her filial piety. Is there nothing I can do?"

The monk replied: "In such cases, we will ask them to prepare personal items instead. Most people will choose a mirror and go there as themselves."

Neither of them had a mirror, so Li Qingming took out the wooden mouse that Jiu Gujinliu had given him earlier.

Mishima Lu hurriedly said: "This is my lady's favorite pendant, please use this as a substitute for the lady?"

The monk said he wanted Mishima Lun to go up to deliver the offerings by himself, so Mishima Lun nodded away from Li Qingming and followed the monk to a higher level.

Li Qingming was a little embarrassed standing on the side of the road waiting. He saw a sitting place not far away, so he walked over and sat down.

This is probably a resting place specially prepared for women. Thinking of this, he observed carefully, and found that there is indeed a stream not far away, which is probably a place for drinking water.

If it was an ordinary woman, she might be covered in sweat when she came here. When she saw the stream, even if she didn't drink water, she would wipe her face a little.

Li Qingming thought about walking over, and looked down into the stream——

In the reflection of the stream, a tall shadow enveloped him!

In the blink of an eye, the place where he was standing was empty.Yuan Manzhong was shocked, and rushed over to check, but found that it was empty and there was no one there.
