[Comprehensive] Why am I not dead yet?

In the impression that Huakaiyuan is light, the so-called witches should be pure women who serve the gods. They have different powers according to their duties. He has seen people who are good at spells and medicine, and it is not uncommon for them to be good at bows, arrows and swords. But there are more There are still a small number of priestesses, and most of the maidens in temples or living in villages are cared for, and their busy content has nothing to do with the world; but similar to Lian Su, who easily persuaded the city lord with a few words, turned around and began to arrange Princess Sakura Ji's next thing is still the first one.

If she was really just a witch who lived in seclusion in Lingshan all year round, how could she know so much about worldly affairs?

Seeing that there is no onmyoji to do here for the time being, Huakaiyuan just found a reason and went back.

Before leaving, Huakaiyuan Shiguang always felt uneasy, and went to see Lian Su who temporarily replaced Ying Ji to "receive" those monsters for her for the last time.

In the old days, the maiden in white clothes and red skirts was standing in the place where Ying Ji used to stay. Her long dyed black hair was like a gorgeous silk draped behind her. Hua Kaiyuan, who is used to the peerless beauties transformed into monsters, was breathless, and for a while, she couldn't tell which one was more dangerous, the woman in front of her or those long-famous monsters.

He couldn't help but think of the legend about the witch.

Whether it was first spread in the city, or Fu Sangshen relayed it later, there is always one thing that has not changed.

——Whether it’s the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven who couldn’t ask for it, or the Believer who hated her because of love, or the fox demon who imprisoned her for several years, what they have in common is their almost pathological obsession with the witch in front of them and Chilian.

For his doubt, Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan gave an unexpected and reasonable explanation.

"If you look at it this way... the beauty that Miko-sama possesses is not a blessing but a curse? Let's not talk about the letter girl who burned Ren Ji to death, but whether it was the original Oda Nobunaga or the reincarnation The feather foxes who have been seen several times, they are all well-informed and respected high-ranking people. If it is said that it is difficult to find a beauty who is sincerely in love with, but the other party is a priestess who serves the gods, it is impossible to ask for marriage. Feeling resentful because you can’t get what you ask for—if you explain it like this, there may still be some understanding.”

"This is what I'm confused about." Shi Guang said in a low voice. "If it's true what Fu Sangshen said back then, she first lived in seclusion in Lingshan, and then was taken away by the fox demon after Nobunaga burned the temple and has been imprisoned until now, then where did she learn about these secular things? Not to mention, she managed to convince that stubborn city lord so easily!"

"I also convinced you, didn't I." Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan added with a grin, and as expected, he got an angry reprimand from his elder brother: "Xiuyuan! I'm talking to you about business!"

"Yes, yes~" Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan's usual frivolous and flamboyant tone was rarely replaced by a calm and serious voice. The genius onmyoji of Huakaiyuan's family tapped his palm with a fan, and said in thought: "This lord witch, at first The intersection with us is just that when Fu Sangshen came here and exchanged a story for a blooming cherry blossom, I still haven't figured out what that lord wants to do?"

Huakaiyuan just thought about it: "Could it be that you want to use cherry blossoms?"

Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan shook his head: "The feather fox is a big monster among the big monsters that have occupied the human world since ancient times. Even if that powerful witch has been practicing for a hundred years, it doesn't mean that she can directly suppress the other party. One is that she has lost The physical body relies entirely on the demon power of the feathered fox to continue to move, and the place where she stays is filled with ghosts and demons, and there is no place for her to collect pure spiritual power to counter the fox demon."

"Then brother—"

Xiuyuan raised another question: "During this period of getting along, who do you think that Miko-sama is?"

"...Who is that witch?" Shi Guang frowned, lost in thought: "Of course, she is undoubtedly an outstanding beauty. Personally, in my opinion, she is even better than the most beautiful woman in Kyoto... the rest What’s more, she’s very smart and powerful, um...I’m not very good, but I have to say that Lian Ji belongs to the type that the longer you know her, the more curious you will be about how amazing she was before she was alive.”

Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan silently looked at the other party's face describing Lian Ji with great interest, and sighed slowly.

"...Isn't this completely mesmerized, brother."

Hua Kaiyuan's face turned red, and he stammered, "...I, I'm a man anyway! It's normal to be tempted by always staying with that kind of beauty, isn't it?"

Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan sighed: "This is also what I am worried about. My brother is not the type who is easily bewitched by a woman's appearance. Presumably Yuyi Fox and Oda Nobunaga are also, but you are still curious about her, which will make you feel more confused. I'm worried."

There was a sudden chill behind Shiguang's back, and he heard his younger brother speaking softly.

"It would not be surprising if the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, Oda Nobunaga, was only interested in his beauty at the beginning, but if he couldn't ask for a marriage, he would just leave. Has it fallen to the level of a legend?"

"what do you mean--"

"...it's scary."

Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan said in a deep voice: "That mistress may be more terrifying than what we know."

"It's just a conjecture, brother." Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan closed her eyes and subconsciously lowered her voice.

"A witch who has lived in seclusion for many years knows the family background of the little city lord very well, but she knows the situation in Ying Ji's family very clearly. It is not difficult to persuade the little princess who has been living in the boudoir all the year round. But if you can easily persuade a city lord, then you should not take it lightly."

"She doesn't know anything, Her Royal Highness Ying Ji said everything." Hua Kaiyuan Shiguang retorted subconsciously for her, Xiuyuan raised his eyes, and his brows frowned in a rare way: "Brother, if she comes from a native You should infer these things from the little princess who doesn't understand anything, so doesn't that mean she should be more vigilant?"

What he was extremely concerned about was that Yu Shiguang mentioned that Lian Ji said that no matter how powerful an onmyoji is, he cannot resist the power of the world.

This is the usual blind spot of thinking of exorcists in this era, exorcising demons, defending the way, and saving the common people-this is a series of common wishes of the vast majority of witches, monks, onmyojis, etc. Most of the onmyojis in the Warring States Period were of official rank They are not high but are relied on by the nobles. This respected status makes them habitually ignore the power contained in the world, and even the extreme ones will sneer at colleagues who succumb to power.

Although the members of the Huakai family are not at this level, some of them with excellent aptitude can hardly avoid the characteristics of being arrogant and disdainful of ordinary nobles.

The attributes that shouldn't exist in the identity of a witch appeared in Lian Ji, but the elder brother didn't notice it at all. He only felt strange at the beginning, and this bit of doubt was also in the process of describing it to him. I feel that I gradually began to feel that this kind of trait is so taken for granted in Lian Ji.

——This is the biggest problem, but it is also a problem that my brother has not noticed yet.

Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan tightly clenched the cypress fan in his hand.

... What if Oda Nobunaga was not interested in the beauty of the maiden, but another side of her?

Let Oda Nobunaga crush and kill the witch if he can't get it;

The witch who let the fox in feather clothes imprison him in his own hands without hesitation in exhausting his demon power;

A witch who lives in seclusion in Lingshan but knows everything about the outside world like the back of her hand.

——For the Huakai family of the Onmyoji family, a beautiful witch who knows how to exorcise demons is not scary. What is terrible is that the beauty of this witch can not help but have the power to deceive people, even she herself knows how to control people.

—Maybe not a miko.

...is a monster.
