[Comprehensive] Natsume Reiko's trip

The Kusanagi sword, the Yata mirror, and the eight-foot Qionggou jade, these are the three artifacts of Japan.

It is said that in ancient times, after Susano killed Yamata no Orochi with a ten-fist sword, he found a sharp blade from its tail. This sharp blade is the legendary Kusanagi sword.

Yamata no Orochi is an evil god. Even if it is beheaded, as long as its legend is still circulating in this world, it can be resurrected continuously.

Only gods can kill gods, so if a human onmyoji wants to kill Yamata no Orochi again, he can only use divine weapons.

There are not many artifacts that can be used by humans, but the Kusanagi Sword that can restrain Yamata no Orochi is one of them.

According to legend, when Tiansun came to Weiyuan China to establish a land belonging to humans, God Amaterasu bestowed three artifacts as a symbol of the ruler.But in the inheritance from generation to generation, the three artifacts have long since disappeared.

Some people say that the three artifacts have returned to Amaterasu, while others say that the artifacts are scattered among the people, waiting for the day when they will be rediscovered.

Taking advantage of his status as a doctor of astronomy, Qingming consulted many ancient books that are not open to the public in the Yinyang Liao, and found sporadic clues about the Kusanagi sword, but most of these information are absurd, and it is impossible to distinguish the true from the false.

Because of his duties, he was bound in Heian-kyo for a long time and could not go out, so he asked Ashiya Michimitsu to inquire about the Kusanagi sword.

Now it seems that Daoman has undoubtedly achieved some results.

"I see, I'll leave that matter to you, I owe you a favor." Qingming closed his eyes and said seriously to Daoman.

"Forget about favors, after all, if Ping'an capital is destroyed, it won't do me any good." While talking, Daoman lost his shape again, "But if you want to thank me, what will happen if you come to my place tonight? "

Unlike Seimei, who joined Yinyang Liao to serve the emperor, Ashiya Michimitsu prefers to live a life of idle clouds and wild cranes.For the nobles who come to ask for help, they help when they are happy, and refuse cleanly and neatly when they are unhappy, which is extremely chic and comfortable.

Qingming is very envious of such a day, but it seems that since he was born, he has been bound by an invisible "curse". among the powers.

This may be fate.

Qingming automatically ignored the second half of Daoman's words: "It's not too late, I'm going to Qijiao Mountain right away. Boys and girls, see off the guests."

"It's so ruthless, Seimei! I obviously brought you such important news! Shouldn't you give me some reward?" Ashiya Michimitsu moved closer to Qingming, and rushed towards Qingming.

Seimei, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately avoided it, and let Ashiya Michimitsu be thrown into the air without any politeness.

"Qingming, tell me, apart from being unable to have children, how can I not compare to the women over there?"

Seimei glanced at Reiko and replied, "You can't beat her."

Ashiya Michimitsu jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "Are you kidding? I can't beat a mere woman? The woman over there, I want to fight you!"

Reiko sized up Ashiya Doman after hearing the words, and then smiled: "Okay! How about one move to determine the outcome?"

It happened that she had been upset with Daoman's attitude of belittling women for a long time.

"No problem, you go first, I let you!" Daoman flicked his sleeves generously, and waited for Reiko's attack.

"Then I won't be polite!" Reiko walked straight towards Daoman with her hands behind her back.

In the past when dueling monsters, Reiko always liked to punch the monsters in the head, but probably because of her height, whether she was facing Yuji Ma, Kamo Baoxian, or Domitsu Ashiya in front of her, she always I think it's easier to slap the face.

Daoman looked at the unarmed Reiko standing in front of him in confusion, how would she attack?Hidden weapon hidden in the sleeve?It can't be a fist, can it?

While Daoman was thinking, Reiko punched Daoman straight in the face without any covert measures.

Is this belittling him?Wouldn't the woman in front of her think that he couldn't even withstand such an open and honest attack?

Ashiya Michimitsu unceremoniously blocked the Zen staff in front of him, and he never said that weapons should not be used before the competition.It's not that he is mean, who made this woman so stupid?

Reiko's fist collided with Daoman's Zen stick, making a toothache "creak" sound, and then the Zen stick began to bend at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the fist and the Zen stick that was hit in an arc touched Daoman's body together. Zhang Junxiu's face.

"boom"!

The huge force made Ashiya Michimitsu keep retreating in the direction of Reiko's punching, and finally fell to the ground, raising a large cloud of dust.

Reiko clapped her hands as if there was something dirty on her hands, put her hands on her hips, and looked down at Michiman Ashiya, who was lying on the ground covering his face.

Xiaobai, the boy, and the girl all covered their eyes with their paws, unable to bear to look any longer; while the Jiuming cat looked excited, looking at Reiko with sparkling eyes, as if saying, "As expected of a human being recognized by me!"

Even Qingming opened his folding fan and silently covered half of his face.

The previous punch to Senior Brother Baoxian was thrown hastily, but this time Reiko was fully prepared to charge up.Although Seimei had expected Reiko's strength, he never expected it to be so terrifying. Anyway, he absolutely didn't want to experience this feeling.

I hope Ashiya Michimitsu is not disfigured.

"Cough, cough..." Daoman got up somewhat staggeringly, a red mark appeared on his face from his forehead to his chin, and there was a large circle of blush near the bridge of his nose - it was the Zen stick and Reiko's fist left together. under the imprint.

At this time, Daoman had completely lost the arrogant attitude before, but looked at Reiko with extremely terrified eyes, as if to say: Is this really human?Isn't some prehistoric monster standing here in human skin?

Looking at it, a hot stream came out of Daoman's nose.

Reiko looked at Daoman who was hit with a nosebleed and felt a little guilty. She took out her handkerchief and handed it over: "I'm sorry, because you said you are as good as Seimei, so I tried my best. If I knew you were so indiscriminate , I will definitely spare some effort."

Daoman's face became redder because of embarrassment, and even the runoff of nosebleeds increased further.

Is this a way of saying that he is not good enough for Qingming?He didn't believe that Qingming would be safe from this punch!

That's right, Seimei must have been forced to succumb to the power of this female monster. He must practice hard to save Qingming from the female monster!

Daoman gave Reiko a hard look, gave Qingming an affectionate look, and finally left a bleak back.

"Is he all right?" Reiko was confused by Doman's performance.

Qingming shook his head, although he didn't know what superfluous thoughts Daoman had, but he probably wouldn't have any thoughts of "trying" with him in a short time.

"Qingming, do I have great strength? How about you test it for me? It won't be good if I hurt someone again in the future." Reiko twisted her wrist, looked at Qingming and said.

Qingming couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth behind the fan, but still maintained his calm tone: "Don't mind, some self-defense skills are a good thing. Let's go to Qijiao Mountain, if you feel guilty about Daoman , help him find things earlier."

Reiko felt that Seimei's words were very reasonable, so she simply nodded in agreement.

Xiaobai, boys and girls who were watching from behind all looked at Qingming with adoring eyes: "As expected of Master Qingming!"It's so easy to deal with Reiko-sama!

Qijiao Mountain is a mountain system not far from Heianjing, and it got its name because there are seven peaks.

Seimei and Reiko rode in an ox cart and did not arrive at a village at the foot of Qijiao Mountain until evening.

Even an onmyoji like Qingming would not dare to enter the deep mountains at night easily, so they decided to spend the night in the village and enter the forest the next morning.

"You better not go!" The girl in the hostel's house overheard Seimei and Reiko's conversation when they were preparing bedding for Seimei and Reiko, "There is a terrifying monster with a big sword! Several people in the village have already died at the hands of the monster. gone."

Reiko and Qingming looked at each other, a little surprised, and Qingming was finally in charge of the conversation: "Can you talk about it carefully?"

"There's nothing to say." The girl lowered her head, seeming to resist the topic.

What does this girl know!

Realizing this, Seimei adjusted his conversation strategy: "What's your name, do you live here alone?"

"You can just call me Xiaochun. There used to be father and sister in the family, but now I'm the only one left. As for the mother, she died when she gave birth to me and my sister." Xiaochun's expression was a little sad, but Qingming noticed it keenly. , when "sister" was mentioned, Xiaochun's expression was obviously a little strange.

"Can I ask what your father does?"

Broadsword, monster, father, sister, these words were slowly connected together in Qingming's mind, which made him have some guesses.

"Why are you asking this?" Xiaochun looked at Qingming warily.

really!

"I'm Onmyoji Abe Seimei, and I'm here to investigate the matter of the Demon Sword." Qingming stared closely at Xiaochun's eyes, as if he wanted to see through her.

The quilt fell from Xiaochun's arms to the ground, and the room fell into silence for an instant.

After a while, Xiaochun finally said with trembling lips: "You guys really came to destroy my sister?"

Qingming sighed inwardly, and shook the fan in his hand: "We originally just wanted to find information about forging demon knives from the knives master, but unexpectedly..."

Xiaochun raised her head abruptly: "I'm here! All father's materials are here! I wanted to burn them at first, but in the end I couldn't bear it... Please let my sister go, what did she do wrong..."

In the end, Xiaochun handed a bunch of scattered and inferior papers to Qingming. Qingming flipped through them casually, and then his fingertips stopped on the last page.

Reiko leaned over her head and saw scrawled on it: [...Finally, I pushed the boss into the forge. ]
